FIRES AT BIRD; KILLS FRIEND.
Columbia Boy Meets Death at Hands
of Hunting Companion.

COLUMBIA, November 16.-While
out hunting with a party Of boys this
afternoon Walter Bethel, IA years
old, son of Clarence Bethel, a glass
blower, was shot in the black of the
head and instantly killed by Carlyle
Krepps, the 11-year-old son of DR.. B.
K. H. Krepps. The boys had two
other companions, Barney Krepps,
the 15-year-old brother of Carlyle,
and Mike Meadows, young news
boy, who lost a leg few years ago
in a street car accident.
The accident took place when a
covey of birds was flushed. Meadows
had no gun. Barney Krepps fired
and brought down a bird. Carlyle
Krepps fired a parlor rifle, loaded
with a ''22 long" cartridge. The
Bethel boy fell with his gun cooked,
but not fired, his brains oozing from
a bullet hole in the back of his head.
Carlyle was the first to the dying
boy, and was greatly wrought up
over the result.

An Exaggerated Report.

Tuesday night shortly after eight
o'clock Sheriff McTeer received a
telephone message from Yemassee
that a Mr.. Still had been shot and
killed at Big State. The sheriff and
Deputy White started at once, but
finding that they could not get
across Port Royal ferry, returned to
town and went to Sheldon by train
yesterday morning. They arrested
the negro, named George Brown, and
found that Mr.. Still had not been
killed nor seriously hurt. It seems
that Mr.. Still is in the county execut-
ing some papers for Mr.. Mayfeld, Of
Denmark, wfo has been selling some
horses hereabouts, and Brown is also
an agent for Mayfeld. Brown re-
fused to turn over money and stock
that Mr.. Still demanded, and row
ensued in which some shooting was
done, but no one was hurt according
to the latest information. Beaufort

LAUGHED Away the Danger.

An old traveller tells Of an experience
II his in rsidocean. The day was fog
gy, and most Of the passengers were
below listening to two evangelists
who were holding particularly fervid
gospel meeting In the saloon. Suddenly
and without the slightest warning
there was a terrific crash and the en-
gines stopped. Every one rushed on
deck. The steamer had run into an ice
berg.
Nobody knew what damage had been
done, and everybody was ready to fly
into panic. The boats were lowered,
and then for the first time the two
evangelists, who had been forgotten in
the saloon, appeared on deck. They
wore their overcoats and their hats,
and they carried rugs and handbags.
They elbowed their way rudely to the
rail, with the evident intent Of secur-
ing for themselves first places in the
boat. 1t was just at time when
breath would have sent the passengers
panic stricken into the boats.
The sight Of the two evangelists was
about to undo the work Of cool headed
officers when a pert little cockney
stepped up to the gentlemen with the
rugs and handbags.
BEG pardon" said he, tipping his
cap, "'ave a cab, sirY'
And in the general laugh the danger
Of panic was averted.

FIRE VISITS DUE WEST.
Two Stores Burned, the Loss Being
About $4,000.

DUE WEST, Nov. 16.-Fire, which
occurred here after midnight this
morning, destroyed two of the prin-
cipal stores on Main street, the loss
being estimated at $4,000.
When the alarm was rung at s
o'clock citizens awoke to find the
grocery store Of Presley Bros. in
flames. Itwas too late to save the
building, which was already on the
verge of falling in. Another wooden
store room, owned and occupied by
Young & McDell, dealers in general
merchandise. was also burned.
Presley Bros. sustained loss OF
$4,000, with only $1,000 insurance.
As far as can be learned, their store
room, owned by Prof. Jos. F. Lee,
of this place, had no insurance what
ever. Young & McDill, carrying
only $1,500 insurance, lost about
$500,
By very fine work in fre-fghting,
the Erskine students were able to
save the residence of Mr.. R. L.
Brownlee and the Due West Hotel.
Several times it seemed that these
buildings would certainly be burned.

Maves Of Mater.

Waves are deceptive things. To look
at them one would gather the impress
sion that the whole water travelled
This, however, is not SO. The water
stays in the same place, but the mo-
ton goes on. In great storms waves
are sometimes forty feet high, and
their crests trave. fifty miles an hour.
The base of a wave fhe distance from
valley to valley is usually considered
as being fifteen times the height Of
the wave. Therefore a wave twenty

tending 375 feet. The force Of waves

Shall These Orphans Have a Thanks
giving?

DR.. Jacobs, of the Thornwell Or
phanage, Clinton, S. c., writes:
"A little child alone in the world,
its bright black eyes filled with tears,
came to me held by the hand of a
good woman. Only five years old,
fatherless, motherless, she finds her
self after a long ride on the cars,
under the care of q friendly traveller,
at the door of the Orphanage. But
poor little thing, she knows nothing
of where she is, does not even know
the place from which she came; she
has her name written on a slip OF
paper as an introduction to the kind
friends who are hereafter to care for
her. She brings a little package
under her arms,-it is her all of
worldly goods. So it was, only a
few weeks ago, but now how diff
ferent. Tears are dried. She is open
ing her bright eyes to the lessons
that come to her daily. Falling into
the routine of chapel and school and
dinner and play, she is waking up,
her young soul is speaking through
lips and fingers and feet and dimpled
cheek. J
Someone now loves the little girl.
Someone puts her to sleep at night
after her lips have whispered Our
Father. She is finding a home, she
is finding herself, she will some day
find God"
This little child was welcomed to
the loving care of the Thornwell Or
phanage. Every one of the 250 child
rem in the school of that Institution
have had more or less Of the same
experience. It is true that between
them and grim necessity, there is to-
day strong wall of defence. But
the people who love God and little
children are that wall. The Orphan
age is under Presbyterian control
but it is for all orphans. It turns
none away because Of its fathers
faith. There are 158 orphans from
South Carolina under its care, 62
from Georgia, % from Florida and
the rest from ten other Southern
States. Not one has a living father.

Capers May be Judge.

s WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It would
not be a great surprise here were
President Roosevelt to name John &.
:Capers as the successor of Judge
Louis E. cComas, of the court OF
appeals of the District of Columbia,
who died few days ago.
8 When Mr.. Capers returned to
Washington this morning from New
York. where he had on important
business, he learned for the first time
that his name was being widely used
"a connection with the vacancy. He
stated that he was not an applicant
for that Office, and did not expect to
be: that he preferred to return to the
practice of law in Washington as
soon as he was relieved of the duties
of the Office of commissioner Of in
ternal revenue. =.
Notwithstanding this statement, it
IS believed the President has him in
mind in connection with the vacancy,
and the appointment may go to him
unless fight should be made by mem.
bers of the Washington bar, some Of
whom think that an older resident
and one more closely identified with
the district generally should receive
the appointment.
It is understood that at the time
Mr.. Capers was appointed to the
Office of commissioner of internal
revenue he was given to understand
by the president that the bestowing
of the commissionership upon him
was partly because of the fact that
he had not had a square deal when
relieved of the duties of district at
torney in South Carolina. Coming
directly after his throw-down by the
department OF justice, itappeared to
be a complete vindication of Mr..
Capers. If the judgeship goes to him
it will be still further evidence of
the fact that the president desires to
right whatever wrong was inflicted
upon him when he was dislodged from
the district attorneys office, and in
recognition of his services to the Re
publican party as the national COM
nitteeman from South Carolina.

The South Is Going Dry.

Lay the jest about the Juiep IN the

For the miracle has happened and the
olden days are past;
That which makes Milwaukee thirsty
doesn't foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouriis is as tight
locked as can be-
oh, the comic paper colonel and his
comrades well may sigh,
For the mint is waving, but the south
is going dry.
By the stillside on the hillside in Ken
tucky all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill;
Moth Ca 'lina's ruler gives his soda
glass a shove,
And discusses local option with the
South Ca'lina Gov,
It is useless at the fountain to be
winkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty and the
south is going dry.
H IS water, water, everywhere, and
not a drop to drink;
We no longer hear the music OF the
mellow crystal clink,
When the colonel and the major and
the genl and the jedge,
Meet to have a little nip to give their
appettes an edge,
Tor the eggnogg now IS noggless anu
the rye has gone awry,
And the punch bowl holds carnations,
and the south is going dry.
AN the nightcaps now have tassels
and are worn upon the head
Not the nightcaps that were taken
when nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the bluegrass
s. is as solemn as is death,
For it bears no pungent Glove twang
55ss on its odoriic breath.
I And each man can walk chalk line
when the stars are in the sky.
For the fizz glass now is fizzless, and
the south is going dry.
Lay the jest about the julep meath
the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moon
shine and the olden days are past;
Now the water wagon rumbles
through the southland on its trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to pick
up the drivers whip, l..
For .themint beds make q pasture and

All is still along the stillside, and the
