Once a telegram messenger boy
nacced IN the al1ev on which q tiny

Once telegram messenger boy
passed on the alley on which tiny
side window OF the refrigerator op-
ems. Mr.. White heard him whistling
and with all his might he shouted
and beat upon the sides Of the ice
house. But the boy b"Dt on his way
unheeding. Then he Legan to think
what might happen. He concluded
at first that some0ne>was playing a
joke on him and then he decided
that pretty soon the policeman of
the beat would pass and seeing the
keys in the front door would lock
thinks up and go away.
He coniectured that in the mean
time Mr.. Gaines and the ladies would
decide that he had been detained on
business and would take prelimi-
nary drive over town. However, he
might view the situation, it looked
hopeless and he remembered all the
stories he had read of travellers being
buried under the snow and freezing
to death with no earthly sound to
greet them, except the lugubrious
howl of far away packs Of wolves.
Every detail of his strange prison
fell into harmony with such roman
ces. The incandescent globe cloaked
in it's chill fog shot forth fantastic
rays that seemed like the aurora
borealis and the huge blocks Of ice
that hemmed him in were for all the
world like the mountains of Lapland.
BY the time the quarter Of beef
had been frazzled to gaunt skeleton
Mr.. Gaines arrived. Inside the store
he heard the steady beating against
the walls and pretty soon recognized
his friends voice in the muffled
shout for help.
Mr.. White never stopped to see
what the thermometer registered
when the door was finally pried open
and he stood once again in the tenn
perate zone.
'T don't believe there's a ther-
mometer with enough notches on 1t
to tell the story" he said.

ple of Orangeburg, Sumter and Lee

District, demonstrated to the COM

farmers living in those counties
would be benefited by continuation
of the demonstration work already
undertaken there.
Mr.. Lever believes that h Will be

THIEVES RIFLED SAFE
And Got Nearly One Hundred Thous-
and Dollars Out of It.

The Columbia Record says three
young men of the Olympia mill viii
lage-Claude Lawhorne, Marshall
Parker and Tom Grimsley-are in
the county Jail, charged with break
ing into the store of Magistrate S. I.
Riley on the Bluff road, and taking
from the safe the sum Of SS76 leav-
ing behind the amount of S74.5O
in silver. Lawhorne has been en-
ployed at the store as salesman
for about eight weeks.
He saw the money counted out
and deposited in the safe Saturday
evening and admits having had in his
possession a slip Of paper bearing
the combination Of the 81 fe.
During fair week Mr.. Riley lost a
bunch of keys, containing, among
others, the keys to the door of the
store. Sunday night, as he was
starting to church, these keys were
brought to him by Marshall Parker,
who claimed that he and Tom Grims-
lev had found them near the Teser-,
voir.
Mr.. Riley pocketed the keys and
went on to church. When he got
back home he was informed by Law
horne that during the evening some
one had entered the store, unlocking
the side door, and had robbed the
safe of sS76, gaining entrance to
the strong box by operating the COM
bination, instead of blowing 1t open
yeggmen fashion.

GIVEN GOOD Terms.
Two ScoundTels Sent to fhs Peni-
tentlary From Lexington.
For Twenty-Five Years Each For
Assarlting Man and Attempting
Worst Crime on q Woman.

At the term of the Lexington
Court last week the two negroes
who some months ago committed an
attrocious assault on Mr.. and Mrs.
Buckley, of that COUNT. were tried
and convicted by Juuge Wilson to
twenty-five years in the Penitentiary
One night the two negroes went to
thee ountry store kept by the Bick-
leys, and while one of them asked
Mr. Buckley to come outside and
sell him some whiskey, the other
remained in the store, where Mrs.
Buckley also stayed. A gun was
fired and Mr.. Buckley was shot. At
the sound of the gun the negro inside
seized Mrs. Buckley and attempted a
horrible Grim e.
While his wife was In the clutches
of this brute, Mr.. Buckley, wounded
and bleeding, staggered into the
store and reached for his shotgun in
the corner. The negro made his es-
cape, however. The alarm was given
and the two negroes were sought all
over that territory for days.
When finally captured sentiment
against them was still high, but a
lynching was prevented. At the
trial each negro denied any knowl-
edge of the presence Of the other that
night and told story quite different
from the evidence put up by the
State. Each of them was indicted
on two counts, assault with intent to
kill Mr.. Buckley and assault with in
tent to ravish Mrs. Buckley, and both
were convicted on both counts.
Judge Wilson, in passing sentence
congratulated the county of Lexing-
ton that a lynching had been averted
under strong provocation and that
justice had been done, regardless OF
the fact brought out in the evidence
that the Bickleys themselves were
yiolators of the law in selling liquor.

N Yearly FREEZES
To Death in His Own Refrigerator
an Atlanta, Ga.
DOOR SHUT ON HIM

adventure In MS Ice House, Hnere
He Had Gone to See How the
Thermometer Was Working and
if the Meats Were in Good Condi-
ton.
This is the story of how an Allan
ia man was lost in the artics Sunday
morning and kept himself from freez-
ing to death only by dragging the
forequarter of beef frantically back
and forth for more than an hour as
told by the Atlanta Journal.
On last Sunday morning shortly
after ten o'clock w. H. White, Jr.,
of the White McLendon company,
wholesale dealers in meats, stepped
into the refrigerator of his ware
house at 1 and 3 East Wall street,
for the purpose Of seeing what de-
gree his thermometer registered. No
sooner was Mr.. White inside than
the door of the ice house banged and
the spring lock clicked fast.
From then until II o'clock he had
no need to consult the thermometer
to know the temperature.
Il have discovered the north pole, -
he said shortly after his release,
and l can tell you it's bad thing
to hunt for
While Mr.. White was working his
hardest to keep up faint spark of
warmth in his blood, his carriage
with Mrs. White in it wac awaiting
him in front of Durant's restaurant
on Alabama street. He had called
at the restaurant a few moments be-
fore to take James S. Gaines and
Mrs. Gaines for a morning drive. Mr..
Gaines was slightly delayed SO Mr..
White said:
Il think I'll drop by the warehouse
while we're waiting and have a look
at the mercury. Be back in a min
Ute"
When the minute had passed and
twenty more had followed the ladies
grew uneasy. By eleven o'clock Mr..
Gaines yielded to their anxiety and
set out to find the trouble.
In the meantime a strange and,
for the time being terrible drama
was being enacted in that ice house.
Anyone who could have peeped in at
the time would have seen white
faced man lighted by the misty blue
of a solitary incandcscent globe rae
ing from one side Of the box to the
other with a huge quarter OF beef
on his shoulder. He would hang the
beef first upon one hook and then
upon another, all the while swinging
his arms high above his head and do
ing a thousand and one Swoboda
stunts.
1T was either this or freeze" ex-
planned Mr.. White IF man is
hard at work he can live in such a
-efrigeratort hrec or four hours, but
if he stands still he will pretty soon
be like one of those petrified animals
that geologists dig up in northern
Russia.
And so back and forth he tugged
the beef until the end of his impris-
onment it looked like a soup bone
that had done duty three days.
