Richard Pennington, of Fort Note
Meets Horrible Death.

3 weeks ago a small dog owned by
Richard Pennington was running his
chickens. He proceeded to catch the
dog and punish it for the offense.
While whipping the dog, he was bit
ten on the hand. At the time there
appeared to be nothing wrong with
the dog, but subsequently it died.
His family tried to prevail on his TAX

not do.
He was taken sick on Sunday and

FEATHERSTONE FOR GOVERNOR.
Will Run on Statewide Prohibition
Platform.

Laurens, December 1.-Hon. &. Z.
Featherstone of this city announced
definitely this morning that he would
be a candidate for governor of South
Carolina in the next campaign, 1910.
1t is remembered that Mr.. Feather-
stone declared his candidacy at the
opening day of this years campaign
but withdrew because of the promls-
ed stand of Gov Ansel on the liquor
question, that is, the governors ad-
vocacy O. a platform that was step
toward Statewide prohibition. Mr..
Ansel had been governor for only one
term, and there were thousands who
deemed him worthy Of second term
because of his successful fight against
the old State dispensary. Conse-
auently Mr.. Featherstone deemed it
inadvisable to oppose Mr.. Ansel at
that time and withdrew from the
race, at the same time announcing
his continued advocacy OF State-Wlde
prohibition and his willingness to
keep up the fight.
In view of the growing sentiment
for Statewide prohibition, and the
fact that One-half OF the countles III
the State have already voted prohi-
bition and believing that the time
has come in the political life of the
State for such campaign, Mr.
Featherstone announces that he WILL
make the race on a platform Tor
Statewide prohibition.
The announcement of Mr.. Feather
.4>.a,, oop p5;docv en- aar1V in the cam
naign is in response to numberless
Inquiries as to his intentions; he has
received many inquiries and has been
persistently urged to make the race.
While his withdrawal statement in
July was practically an announce
ment that he would make the race
two years hence, the statement is
made to apprise the many friends OF
prohibition as to Mr.. Featherstone's
Intentions.

Woman Stopped Davenport Case.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 7.-With-
out warning the bigamy and adultery
cases against Manager Carl Daven-
port, of the Little Grand and Fairy
land theatres, which promised to af-
ford a number of sensations, have
been withdrawn by the prosecutor and
Davenport-who admits having trav-
elled at various times under the
names of Franklin E Roberts, Robert
F. Willeford and Frank Winteroth-
has been relieved of his $4,000 bond.
This is the outcome he prophesied all
along. The woman who instituted
the proceedings, Miss Essie Mobley,
of Saluda, went to Magistrate Bues-
chel late Saturday night and declar-
ed she did not wish to carry the mat
ter any further.
Davenport's real name is Willie
ford and he has wife and three chill
dren living at his old home, Sumter,
where he is regarded as a model
father and good business man. He
says that there is nothing sinister
about his having used stage names,
as he is in the theatrical business and
has been on the boards himself often.
Miss Mobley made highly sensation
al statements when she came here,
declaring that on April 3rd of this
year, she was married to Davenport,
as Frank Winteroth, in Savannah,
and that on their return to Saluda,
he persuaded her to mortgage her
farm for S1,500, then decamped with
the proceeds, since which time she
had not seen him until she happen
ed to recognize him in his theatre
here ten days ago. Neither she nor
Davenport have as yet made any ex-
plantations.

1t has been discovered that the
denatured alcohol act passed by con-
gress last winter does not confer the
benefit upon the farmers that it was
supposed and intended that it should,
owing to the restrictions of the in
ternal revenue laws which practically
give a monopoly to the large distil-
leries in producing the denatured al
cohol. To remedy this Senator Hans
borough of North Dakota has intro
duced an amendment to give farmers
the full benefit of the law. Write to
your congressman to support it.
A new treatment for hog cholera
consists in injecting serum from the
blood of immune hogs rather than, as
at present, from those infected with
the cholera virus. Only 20 per cent.
of the hogs thus treated have died.
AS the loss from hog cholera amounts
to over $15,000,000 annually in this
country, a satisfactory remedy is of
the utmost interest to farmers. While
this method has been patented by DR..
M. Dorset of the bureau of animal in
dustry, it has been thrown open to
the free use of the farmers Of the
United States.

THE PARTRIDGE PROBLEM
Their Gradual Disappearance Must &c
investigated Thoroughly.

Since the close of the open season
for game birds. sportsmen have been
comparing notes and trying to find
some explanation for the unprecedent-
ed scarcity of cartridges, quail and
woodcock. The scarcity of cartridges
has aroused particular concern, be-
cause other game birds have been &C
knowledged to be scarce for several
seasons past, whereas the hunters
started out this season with an idea
that the partridges were plentiful All
through the summer fishermen, auto
mobilists and others told of seeing par
tridges in such numbers that sports
men were prepared for better luck
than they had experienced in years
Even when the first few days of hunt
ing brought scant results, they refus,
ed to believe that cartridges were
scarce, attributing their failure to bag
a goodly number to an unusual density
of foliage following a season of rainy
weather. Before the season reached
its end, however, every hunter had
convinced himself that cartridges were
scarce and while they could not doubt
the testimony that young cartridges
were abundant in the summer, they
have been specializing as to the cause
or causes which led up to their disap.
pearance between July and October.
The report of some hunters that they
had found parasites on cartridges they
had killed pointed to a possible solu-
tion of the problem Then they began
to blame the monaghan pheasants for
the parasites. 1t was thought that, as
|pheasants had been raised in proximity
TO domestic poultry, they had probably
become infested with parasites, and
upon being liberated, had communica-
ted the parasites to other gamebirds.
This theory the fish and game commits
sioners pronounced untenable. They
say that pheasants are not reared in
poultry yards, because they cannot be
made to thrive there. II seems, fur
thermore, that pheasants and partrid-
ges do not mingle, as the pheasants are
not distinguished for their gentleness
of ways and other birds are careful to
keep out of their way Nevertheless
the parasite theory deserves to be in
vestigated, for We cannot afford to al
low the cartridges to become extinct
The steady cutting away of forests has
been the means of reducing the game
birds to such proportions that special
effort and protection has to be extend
ed to enable them to survive against
the annual campaigns OF hunters and
the perpetual ravages of foxes and
other wild creatures. 1t is up to the
fish and game commissioners to look
thoroughly into this latest phase of the
problem Springfield Union.

Explosion At Rochester Kills Two
Women and Demolishes Building.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Jan. 3.-In an
explosion that wrecked a building of

young woman, Sadie Ernst, twenty
years Of age, was instantly killed; a
second, Mrs. Lillian O'Conner, TWEEN.
ty-eight years old, recently married,
was SO badly injured that she died at
the Homeopathic hospital short time
after being taken there, and third,
May Calligan, was seriously burned,
but Is expected TO recover.
Six young women were working in
the wrecked building, much smaller
number than is often employed. One
of those that escaped was blown
through window, but was little in
jured
The explosion occurred In the finish
ing room of the building of the compa-
ny's plant ON Main street, east. The
building was low one story structure,
and the force of the explosion blew out
one side of ii and caused the roof TO

and the cause of the explosion Is yet
unknown.
The plant Is composed of a series of
small buildings, widely separated,
which makes the loss in property and
life less than il would have been 9TH
erwise. Some scores of girls and wo-
men are employed by the company
during its buster seasons.

VANCOUVER RIOT.
Five Japanese Under Arrest as Re-
suit of the ARRAY.

suit Oh the Array.
VANCOUVER, b. c., Jan. 3.-Feel-
ing runs high in this city as the result
of the attack of band of Japanese
upon three firemen.
Only the bolsterous weather. which
keeps people off the streets, has per-
haps prevented demonstration of
more or less serious proportions. The
danger lies in the fact that there are
hundreds of unemployed in the city.
Five Japanese have been arrested as
the result of the ARRAY.
The japanese became infiamed, it Is
said, from the mistaken idea that a
party of jovial firemen We're attacking
them, whereas one white man fell
against a window Of Japanese shop
and broke it. No reprisals against the
Japanese are expected unless Frost,
one of the wounded firemen. should
die, but this does not seem probable.
The two other tiremen. Allen and Mac
Donald, are said to be improving.

japanese arrested in connection with

courts.

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach, which he claims to prove with his new medicine, is being given more respect and comment every day. i.
 Cooper claims that 90 per cent. of all i'll health Is due to stomach trouble. When interviewed about his theory re- gently. he said: Stomach trouble is the great curse of the goth century SO far as the civilized races are con cerned. Practically all of the chronic i'll health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist.
 ITO be sure, there was sickness Tn those days, but it was of viruiellt character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are afflicted nowadays.
 T know positively that every bit of this chronic i'll health is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength. This weak ness has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape. The sole reason for my success is be
