Stop yer kickin' bout the times

A man running toward the Read
ing railway station in Germantown
on Saturday, as if in great haste to
make the train, was the cause Of en-
lvening the gait Of a number of
other pedestrians bent on that pur-
pose, among whom were several wo-
men who fancied they were too late
for the train. AS the latter wore
shoes of the cramped pattern known
as pumps, their discomfort in run
ming may be imagined. When, breath
less, they reached the station they
found the first runner sitting COM
fortably and reading paper, with
ten minutes margin before train
time. One of the women made bold
by Indignation advanced upon the
cause of her anger with this query:
What were you running for?" The
anwer was 'for my health. ."-Phila-

lice J. B. Ross and son, Buron Ross,
were committed to Jail here to-day,
J. B. Ross upon the charge of muir
der, and Buron Ross as an accessory

Southern railway have been robbed
at Allendale and Barnwell. On Thurs
day q car of merchandise was broken

Mr.. w. S. Roark, special officer of

connected but of an idle nature and
bad habits. Information was collect
ed and the young man was placed
under arrest. The hats, II in num-
ber, were located and the purchaser

The young man waived a prelimi-
nary hearing and in default of 81, 900

the July term of court.
Mr.. Roark is a good officer and his
work in detecting the thief is highly
commendable. ble.-Columbia State.

SAD ACCIDENT IN HORRY.
Bright Young Man Killed by Accident
al Discharge of Gun.

CONWAY, June 14.-The remains
of James Dusenbury,, the 14-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. B. Dusen-
bury of Port Harrelson, were laid to
rest at the Waccamaw Presbyterian
church yesterday morning. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. A. S. Doak of Conway, pastor
of the church.
This young life was cut short by a
sad occurrence of Monday morning.
About 6 o'clock James and his father
were feeding the stock when a large
snake was found. James got his gun
from the house and killed the snake
and reloaded the gun and placed it
on log under which the snake was
concealed. Later when he started
to get his gun from the log, pulling
it toward him from the log by the
barrel, the gun was discharged and
the load was emptied into his chest.
As a result of the shot two of the
young boys ribs were broken and
through the opening thus caused a
portion of the lung protruded.
Medical aid was summoned and
every effort made to save the bright
young life, but Wednesday morning,
about the same hour of the accident,
he succumbed to the pain and the
young spirit went to its reward.
Mr.. Dusenbury is a prominent
planter of the county, and his young
son gave every promise of a success
full life. He was the oldest son,
dutiful and lovable, and admired by
all who knew him.

the Knights of Pythias who attended
the recent meeting of the grand
lodge in Anderson have for the past
few days talked of the establishment
Of q Pythian hospital in this State.
The supreme lodge, according to

said that he would at once take the
matter up and show that Columbia

advantages was the proper place for
this hospital.

bers of the order who by illness or
injuries should be sent there and

American rlorals: English Manners.

An English journal noted for its
perspicacity, prints the following
dialogue under the title 1.-The Social
