Reading OFF His Drunk.

An old actor who was not much
given to the cheering glass, says the
Billboard, one evening went to dine
at the club with a friend met several
more, with the result that about G. NJ
he was pretty mellow. He left his
friends and started home and said to
himself: my boy, you're drunk!
What are you going to do about it?
I know! I'll go home and read-who
ever heard about a drunken man
reading?" Well, home he went in q
cab-went to the library and com
menced to read. Mrs. Actor later
appeared on the scene. What on
earth are youdoing?" shequeshoned.
"Why-er- -can't-you see what I'm
doing, my dear? I'm reading -
''Reading?'' said his wife, scorn-
fully; what are you reading?"
He looked at the book, but couldn't
see the words, so said: "That books
been in the house for the last twenty
years, so if you don't know I'm not
going to tell you"
To this his wife replied wrathfully:
''You old fool, shut up that vaiise
and come to bed"

Knights of Pythias.

An interesting meeting of Bam-
berg lodge, Knights of Pythias, was
held Monday evening. There was a
good attendance of the members, and
the rank of Knight was conferred
upon Mr.. E. F. Free.
It was decided not to- attempt to
present the play, Damon and
Pythias," on account of inability to
secure actors for the various parts.
DIR. ]. B. Black and A. W. Knight,
delegates to the recent session OF the
grand lodge in Anderson, gave an ac-
count of the proceedings of the body
and the delightful hospitality of
that city.
Chancellor Commander J. F. Car
ter, H. C. Folk, and A. w. Knight
were appointed a committee to con-
slider the advisability of purchasing
one or more electric fans for use of
the lodge at it's meetings. No doubt
electric fans in the hall would result
in larger attendance Of the breth-
rem.

John Bunch Hurt.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 10.-John
Bunch, the white man who was found
in a partly nude condition in front Of
No. 3O2 King street yesterday morn
ing, is still alive in the Roper hospital,
suffering with conclusion of the
brain, as result of his fall from q
third story window of the house in
front of which he was picked up BY,
a police officer. Some mystery at
tends the affair, which the authori-
ties have not solved, and nothing
along this line is being done. Bunch
has had conscious moments and not
charging anyone with his fall to the
fagstone pavement, the authorities
feel that the statements Of the two
men who were with Bunch that while
partly under the influence Of liquor
he Just walked out of the window
should be accepted. Bunch comes
from Jacksonboro, Colleton county.
The physicians are unable to say
whether he will recover.

bribery. He lived to a ripe old age,
and none suspected the source of his
great wealth. One day his conscience

accepted and made a full confession

There have been several new names
added to the board of control. These
are Messrs. w. D. Rhoad, ]. H. Smith,
D. M. Warn, and 0. B. Riley.
The school now expects to make
big strides and now with the new
feature added and new blood put on
the board, things should be made to

Physicians Errors.

Few persons realize that there are
"a different kinds of alcohol. About
all the average man knows is "alco-
hol." He walks into a drug store
and asks for a quart. The druggist,
too often, alas, without asking what
kind, wraps up bottle of wood
spirit, poison, as we learned only a
little while ago, obtained in the de-
structive distillation of wood. Ply
sicians are notoriously careless in pre-
scribing alcohol. One of the great
surgeons of New York told a mother
to bathe her crippled boy with. a
sponge soaked in alcohol. At the end
of the year the poor little fellow was
on his last legs. In utter ignorance,
the mother had been using methyl
alcohol (wood spirit all the time, and
the child was poisoned New York

row, q negro boy on Josh Davenport IS
place, about four miles from town,
was burned to death one day this
week in rather peculiar manner.
The boy was about four years old.
and his mother, who was working in
the field near her home, called to
him to bring her chunk of fire that
she might light her pipe. He started
out with the fire and in going to his
mother had to pass through rayine
which cut off her view of him. While
IN this ravine she heard his screams
and ran to him. In some way his
clothing had caught fire from the
chunk of fire which he was carrying
to his mother. He was so badly burn
ed that he died two or three hours
afterWard.

Hiram. 'Them's young snakes!'

PETITION FOR COMPANIES.
Mastering out of Bamberg and Ben.
nettsville is Protested.

Since the announcement was made
that the military companies at Ben
nettsville and Bamberg would be mus
tered out by the adjutant general, be-
cause of their showing at the last an
nual inspections and the lack Of prop
erty records, Gen. Boyd has received
a number of letters from parties in
both towns, requesting the mainte-
nance of these companies.
Gen. Boyd said yesterday that un-
der no circumstances would he main
tain the two organizations as, under
the law, they had failed to come up
to the requirements. Gen. Boyd also
said that there was very little inter-
est being taken in the larger towns
and cities for the militia and, as re-
suit of the report by Col. Brock, his
assistant, there may be other COM
panies put out of commission. Co.

Lion Attacks its Keeper.

Dewey" who was born in cap
tivity, and always looked upon by
his keepers as harmless lion, leaped
across his cage last eight at James
Coyle, one of the keepers, put his
hand on the bars, and, grabbing hold
of the. mans right arm, tore it in
three places and bit off one of the
fingers.
Coyle managed to free himself from
the lions grasp, and fell to the floor,
unconscious. He was afterwards re-
moved to the Presbyterian Hospital,
where his wounds were dressed.
The accident occurred after the
lion house had been closed for, the
night, and while Coyle was cleaning
up the cages. In the next cage to
that in which Dewey was kept
was Bose" a lioness asleep when
Coyle started to work.
AS he reached down to pick up a
cloth he had dropped, he put his
right hand on one of the bars of the
cage, not thinking of any danger.
In an instant Dewey" leaped and
grabbed his hand. The lions teeth
tightly clutched Coyle's first finger
and then the brute tried to pull the
keeper into the cage. Bracing itself
with the left foreleg against the bars
of the cage, the lion, with it's right
claw, started to tear the keepers S
arm.
Finally with a pull Coyle managed
to free himself, but the first finger
of his right hand, in which the lion
had his teeth, was torn off.-New
