Strange Story of a Dream.

A correspondent sends the London
Daily Mail the following anecdote,
or, as he calls it, lease of thought
transference," " which was told him
by an eminent engineer, whose name
we withhold:
This well known engineer had been
to Bulawayo on the occasion of the
opening of the railway to that place.
A friend who accompanied him on
the occasion contracted enteric fever
and died on the homeward voyage.
Half an hour before he died his hair
turned perfectly white.
On arriving in England the engi-
neer went to break the news to the
young mans sister. He found that
not only did the lady know of the
death Of her brother but she knew
the time and the circumstances OF
the hair turning white. The engl-
neer was requested to break the
news to the father and mother as
gently as possible, but to say moth

After a journey of 100 miles ne

whom he saw separately, not only

IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down For Quick
acknowledgements About
Men and Happenings.

There was a $4,000 fire in Green
vile last Thursday night. A build
ing known as the Conyers building,
occupied as stores and offices, was
burned.
Suit has been instituted in Spar
tanburg against the Southern for
killing Miss belinda Hand, school
teacher, at Duncans about three
months ago. The damages are fixed
at $4,000.
Governor Ansel has appointed Mr..
B. F. Arthur, of Union, on the com
mission to wind up the affairs of the
State dispensary, to fill the place Of
w. w. Simpson, Of Woodruff, who
could not serve.
Governor Ansel has appointed
Avery Patton, of Greenville, on the
dispensary commission, to take the
place of N. C. Poe, who declined to
serve. The commission held a meet
ing in Columbia yesterday.
Last Thursday the State Supreme
Court rendered decision sustaining
the lower court in the case of Geo.
Hasty, of Gafney, who killed two
theatrical men in that city a couple
of years ago. This means that
Hasty will have to serve his sentence
of life Imprisonment.
BUD Mauldin, a cotton mill
operative Of Clinton, was struck by
a train on the Columbia, Newberry
& Laurens Railroad near the city
limits of Laurens last Saturday and
killed. The man was sitting on the
end of a cross tie apparently asleep,
and he was hit before the train could
be stopped.
Under the act providing for a
commission of five men to wind up
the affairs of the State dispensary,
Governor Ansel last Monday appoint
ed the following: w. j. Murray,
Columbia; C. K. Henderson, Aiken;
w. Wells Simpson, Woodruff; Mel
SOll ~. 7 OS, -OlOCllfA1C, cO1AAA 3AAN
Sween. Timmonsville. All these are
successful business men of high
character. Messrs. Poe and Simpson
have declined to serve.
Last week Governor Ansel, on re-
commendation of the board of par
dons, commuted to life imprison-
ment r. A. Adams, the Colleton
murderer, who has three times been
under sentence of death. Adams
killed Henry Jaques, a neighbor, in
1903. He was tried, convicted of
murder, and sentenced to death.
While awaiting execution he escaped
from Jail. After several months he
was recaptured, and his case was
then appealed to the Supreme Court,
who decided against him. Governor
Hayward respited him a few days
before he went out of Office, and
now his sentence has been commuted
to life Imprisonment by Governor
Ansel. The judge and solicitor de-
clined to recommend the pardon.

MAJ. JOHN BLACK EXCITED.
Pulled His Pistol on Man by Whom
His Reputation Had Been ASsailed.

In 1CS COlumDla correspondence
the Augusta Chronicle yesterday
published the following article:
Estate Dispensary Director Black
made an attempt this afternoon to
shoot the blender, William P. Nor
folk, who came here recently from
Richmond, Va, while the latter was
standing in the board room.
''It seems that Mr.. Black entered
the room and found Mr.. Norfolk
there. whereupon the director asked
the blender what he was doing in the
board room, and told him in rather a
rough manner that he had no busi-
ness there, and ordered him out:
Mr.. Norfolk replied that he had
come in to get his pay check, where
upon Mr.. Black ordered him to leave
Immediately. Norfolk hesitated,
whereupon Black drew a revolver
from his pocket, and, it is said, made
toward Norfolk, ordering him again
to get out Of the room.
"Employes of the State dispensary
who were in the room, or within
hearing distance, interfered and pre-
vented further difficulty. Norfolk
finally consented to leave the room.
sFIt is stated that animosity exists
between the two men because of the
fact that Blender Norfolk gave evi-
dence before the special Investigate
ing committee short time ago, in
which he said the whiskey brought
in Peoria by Mr.. Black was not
worth more than one half or two
thirds what was paid for it. He
also answered some direct questions
as to rebates, and stated that ne
would be glad to accept an equal
division between the worth Of that
lot of whiskey and it's price as a re-
bate.
t'The affair tonight seems to be
closed, no arrests having been made,
nor any legal steps taken, so far as
can be learned"
Mr.. Norfolk yesterday admitted
the correctness Of this article. He
is a stranger in Columbia, and says
that for that reason deplores the fact
that the matter had been given pub
licity. He was unarmed.
Mai. Black, who is man Of very
quick temper, was probably irritated
by the presence in the board room OF
the blender. It will be recalled that
he did this same thing last May,
when he stopped Hon.. J. Fraser
Lyon on the street in front of the
Columbia hotel. Mr.. Lyon was un-
armed at the time, as he does not
carry pistol.
Since that time Maj. Black has
been under peace bond of 1000
given to Magistrate Robert Moor
man. MIR. Moorman since that time
has gone out of Office, but declares
that the bond has never been can
celled. It appears that the terms OF
the bond have been abfogated.
It is stated on good authority that
a similar difficulty occurred a few
days ago between Maj. Black and
Mr.. j. D. Davenport, president OF a
bank at Newberry. This affair oc-
Cured on train.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of Attorney General Lyon
yesterday, and some action may be
taken in the matter, as under peace
bond a person is not allowed to go
armed or to make any breach of the
peace. Columbia State

Hargrove had always humored his
wife, and did so In this instance. He
went to his friend and attorney, Milton

told how he loved his wife, how he
would willingly die for her. He told of
her moods and tempers, OF her vanity,
her childish ways, of her impatience
at restraint, and asked for advice.

Hargroye followed the counsel Of his

him and save all unpleasant publicity.
Half awake, Hargrove still dreamed.
Through an agreement with She

Then the battle of the beasts was

short time before the day set for
his marriage to Roscoe j, Biliman,

The young man came into the Black

Immediately upon his secret being
discovered he disappeared from the

not since been seen or heard from

scarcely believe that he was not a
sweet, attractive young woman, and is
