shot by the deputy and the mob, hear

negro was strong. A horrible feature
of the sad tragedy is that the young
lady was criminally assaulted before
being murdered.
Pittman's bloody shirt and clothes
were found at negro woman's house
and the woman said that Pittman had
brought them there to be cleaned.

wedding was announced to take place

things through his mails these days.
The name of the bride is K, and solu-

in order, although it was not expect
ed that they would come so readily
and profusely from the four parts of
the earth. In very truth, Mr.. Lever
is getting so many letters written in
q graceful handwriting upon pink
tinted, perfumed note paper that
those papers which published the no.
tice of his coming marriage to lady
not yet, decided upon should send him
bills for the matrimonial advertise
inent. Some propose that he should
write, some that he should call and
some that they should call. Out of
the mass of answers to the advertise
ment, he has made a few selections
which he will take. under considera-
tion.-Zach MCGEE in The State.

Five Children in One Year.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The attention
of President Roosevelt has been called
to quite an extraordinary occurrence
in South Carolina. This is the birth
of five children from one mother in
one year. The following extract
copied from the letter sent to the
president tells the tale:
''Mr. and Mrs. Efrd Ballington, age
80 and 81, respectively, who were born
and are now living in Lexington coun-
ty, S. O., have five pretty, healthy
children born to them within the last
year. Mr.. and Mrs. Ballington are a
white, respectable family living on &
small farm in very moderate circum-
stances, which fact the citizens sign
d.below will verify.
"1he three sweet little baby girls
(triplets) were born sometime in jan
uary 1907, and bear the names of
Bessie Beulah, Lessie Leulah, and Es-
sic Eula. They are now year old,
well developed and enjoying good
health.
The twins were born just a few days
ago, and the parents have every belief
that they will raise them. -.
''The boy of the twins bears the
distinguished name of Theodore
Roosevelt Ballington and the girl is
equally distinguished by having the
given names Of Mrs. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Longworth.
"Lexington county is the district
which the Hon. A. F. Lever repre-
sents in congress, and racial suicide
is foreign to its inhabitants
The facts of the letter are verified
by several prominent citizens of that
section including Postmaster Bodie,
Mrs. J. G. .Kinard and others.
Although nothing has been learned
as to what the president thinks of the
incident, it is certain that it meets
with his many times repeated views
on the race suicide question.-W. W.
Price, in Evening Record.

Two-Headed Child
Unusual Deformity

Roanoke, Va, Feb. 4.-News reach
ed here from thesHiawaszi district of
Pulaski county of the birth of child
with two heads to Mr.. and Mrs. John
Meredith. 1t is said the mother of
the little one is almost frantic with
grief over the deformity of her off
spring. She is constantly in tears
and is unable to sleep.
Some relief, it is said, has been af-
forded her by dream, in which she
saw the baby's extra head removed
with no harm to the natural head.
This has led her to believe that sur
gerry can accomplish this result, and
it is asserted that the family doctor
shares the mothers belief.

Mimuaugh's Great Store.

Truly this store is the shopping CEN
ter of South Carolina-the home OF
new styles in all that's fashionable,
beautiful and good, and the store at
which every woman loves to buy.
Last year the business of this trm
exceeded that of any year in the his
tory of the store, and already this
seasons business bids fair to outclass
all previous records. The reason for
this increase is easily told, and is ap-
parent to all those who visit this
mammoth establishment.
When other firms were advertising
winter goods Mimnaugh was adyer-
tising all the advanced styles in spring
goods. This is Mr.. Mimnaugh's way
of doing business. He believes in
getting in the lead and staying there.
He has already reaped the benefits OF
q brilliant mind, and his ideas and
business methods are entirely his
own.
Just at this season there are, neces-
sar:ly, many bargains special bar
pains-to be found at this store.
Avalanche after avalanche OF new
goods are arriving daily, and the
styles for. spring 1908, are the mos.
beautiful we have ever seen, and the
prices are equally as attractive.
Remember this !: When you want
to be in the fashion, don't buy until
you haye seen the new arrivals at J..
