ANOTHER CALHOUN SHOOTING
White Man and Negro Use Shotgun
and Winchester.


The Edison News says that A. Ira
Bell, highly esteemed young farm
er, was shot by a desperate negro
named Oscar Jackson. The negro
emptied his pistol at Mr.. Bell, hit
ting him one time in the arm.
The negro had been working for
Mr.. Bell all the year, and had been
neglecting his work in such a man
ner that he had gotten far behind
with his crops. and when Mr.. Bell
reprimanded him about it he did
not seem to like it. Monday Mr..
Bell got after him again, and after
few words had passed between
them the negro drew his pistol and
shot at Mr.. Bell five times. Mr..
William Bell, Ira's father, happened
to be near by, and went for the ne
gro with piece of scantling, but be-
fore he could get more than one lick
at him he was on the run. The negro
made for his house some distance
away, and Mr.. William Bell got AIS
shotgun and went after him, and
when he saw the negro was going
for winchester rife he fired on the
latter. The negro got the rife, and
quickly fired several times at Mr..
Bell without effect.
The negro escaped after the shoot
ing, carrying his rife with him, and
has not been captured Parties were
formed and began a search for the
would-be murderer.
Mr., Bell is not in a dangerous
condition, and will recover.

SPIDERS FANCS USED AS PICKS
BY the West Indians Odd Things About Spiders That
Many People Go Into Panic Over.

ITO a person acquainted with spi-
ders and their habits nothing APP
pears more ridiculous than the alarm
which a common house spider will
cause to some people" says one OF
the governments bug men.
I'VE have very few poisonous or
dangerous spiders in this country, "
he added, and though their bite is
venomous it is fatal only to insects
and animals The quantity of their
poison is so minute that it can do no
harm of any consequence to a per
son who is in ordinary health. In the
sultry months, when the blood is hot
and irritable the bite of a spider is
most liable to result in some dan
ger. Few objects are more repulsive
to people generally than the spider,
and this arises probably from the
frightful stories which everyone has
heard of the tarantula and the effects
of its wound. Only some tarantulas
of the tropical climate are poisonous.
l had rather have a house full of
common spiders than full of flies.
"A close acquaintance with the lit
tie fellows lessen our antipathy to
them. They perform surprising and
curious feats, and are intelligent,
cunning and frugal. The little gray
colored spider, Attus familiaris, does
not build a web, but lives in the
crevices in the walls, window sashes,
clapboards and such places, and it
runs over the floors or along the
wall and catches flies. No panther or
cat can vie with this little fellow in
the skill and adroitness with which
it stealthily approaches and captures
its game, He is perfectly harmless, |
but not one housewife in a hundred |
appears to know it, for she will have
a conniption fit every time she sees
one.
The Common House Spider.
Another common house spider is
known as the Theriolon yulgare, va
riable in color, being cream white,
sometimes darker, of a leaden gray |
livid brown, and tinged at times
with red. This spider is of a more
retiring nature than the one just !
spoken of, and contents himself with !
house in some dark corner |
Of room. After the web is made |
ready he retires to his den and waits |
for his victim. and the moment fly !
or other insect is entangled in the /,
meshes of his web the spider darts |
cut, and if ne discovers that the
captive is efficiently large and |
strong enough to eventually break |
the webs and get away he will ad- |
vance cautiously and begin the work
of spinning thread after thread
around him so as to bind the victim
hard and fast. When this is done
the little spider will then set to work
to hasten its death by singing him.
These spiders never permit the dead
victim to remain in the web, but will
weave system of pulleys and tackle
which by degrees work the dead body
into the home of the spider, when it
goes to work and repairs and rear
ranges the web for the next unfort-
innate.
