Man Can Live Forever.

New York, November 19.-Man
ought to live forever if the proper
Esprit life'' is cultivated, according
to Charles Brodie Patterson, who has
made special study of longevity.
& This rather startling statement ne
made at the Waldorf-Astoria during
a meeting of the Medico-Legal So
ciety.
Authenticated cases of extreme
long life he pointed out to support
his theory, adding that with proper
care even the longest spans OF life
as now measured might be increased
twenty or thirty years or even in
definitely.
Another speaker said that he knew
or a man in England who lived to
the ripe old age of 130 years, and
that those who wished might do the
same.
Alcoholic stimulants, declared an
other speaker, cuts short many q
life that would otherwise be long.

A PITIF'UL CASE.
Two Starving Negro Children Taken
to the Police Station

Two negro women brought two ne
gro children to the police station last
night that were in pitiful condition
and presented a pathetic tale of dis
tress. One of the children was only
four weeks old and on the verge OF
starvation, while the other was boy,
possibly seven or eight years old.
The two had been living with wo-
man, the mother of the baby and aunt
of the boy, until she died early yes
terday morning and they were home
less, as the father and uncle had run
away, according to the woman who
brought the children to the police,
and the grandmother and other rela-
tives refused to take them.
From what the two women said,
who had taken them until some ar
rangement could be made, they have
had hard time. They said the dead
woman's name was Lily Long and
her husbands name was Eli Long,
and that he had slipped away just
before his wife's death and had not
returned. It was thought that his
mother had induced him to leave.
They stated that his wife had been
in destitute circumstances before her
death and that he had taken 10 cents
somebody had given the wife and
spent it for whiskey. The dead wo-
man gave the two children to another
negro woman, who had turned them
over to the two women who now had
them. Yet another woman came tc
them for the children, but refused
to keep them.-Columbia State.

FLORENCE GIRL ATTACKED.
Miss Hessie Shackleford Struck on
the Head With a Brick.

Florence, November 1S.-Miss Hes
sic Shackleford, the 16-year-old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Slackleford of this city, was attack
ed by some unknown person between
her fathers store and the railroad
at Dargan street crossing Monday
night, about 7:30 o'clock, as she
was on her way home from her work.
She was struck on the back OF the
head. The blow was a very severe
one and came very near knocking the
young lady to the ground. She
screamed, and fortunately, her faith
er heard her cries, and came to her
assistance, but the miscreant escaped
before he reached her. The blow
she received cut almost to the bone,
and appeared as if inflicted with a
brickbat or piece of wood. DR.. Gregg
was called in soon after and gave
medical attention. She is resting
very we'll to-day.
The young lady's brother usually
accompanies her home from the store
but she had to stay out later than
usual Monday night on account OF
finishing up some work left over
from Saturday, and when she got
through, instead of waiting on her
brother, she undertook to walk home
alone.
The affair did not become gener-
ally known until yesterday morning,
and as the news spread much indlg-
nation was manifested.

MARLBORO AGAIN AHEAD.
B. E.. Moore Raised Over 1877 Bush
els on One Acre.

Considerable interest has been
taken in the prizes offered by the
State agricultural and mechanical
society and by several fertilizer deal
ers for the best yield of corn on one
acre. The reports so far received
at the Office of the commissioner of
agriculture, commerce and immigra-
ton give the production to Mr.. B.
E. Moore of Bennettsville. The con
test has not closed yet, however, and
it is not definitely known who will
win the prizes.
Mr.. Moore raised 1877 2-3 bushels
of corn on one acre at cost of $685.
IS. He sold this yield as seed corn
at s2.25 per bushel, making S309.09,
or a net profit of s220.24. Mr..
Moore used on this acre 1000 pounds
of high grade Peruvian guano and
1000 pounds of nitrate CT soda. The
cost of all the fertilizer was only
s64.75.
This is a good showing for South
Carolina and for Marlboro county,
which is frequently spoken of as
the best farming county in the State.

1.-THE DARK CORNER"
Zach McGhee's Book Will be Issued
in q Short Time.

The news that Mr.. Zach McGhee, the
well known Washington correspond
ent and magazine writer, is to issue
a. book sometime within the next ten
DAYS will be received with no little in
terest in this county. Mr.. McGhee is
well known in South Carolina, hav-
ing made this State his home before
he went to Washington, and his book,
"The Dark Corner" will no doubt be
read with added interest on this &C
count.
It is said to be high class liter
ary achievement, dealing with the
educational problems of the school
teacher, and having distinctly
Southern atmosphere surrounding
the entire plot of the story. The
theme is one well woven around
scenes which are we'll known to US
all, and the critics, North and South,
have spoken freely and favorable OF
the work. Mr.. McGhee, before he be-
came newspaper man, was connect
ed with the public school system OF
this State and denouement OF the
story we'll shows that he is as capa-
BILE in this line as he is writer. "The
Dark Corner" it is said, will un-
doubtedly arouse discussion, and
some timely suggestions to the pow
ers that be- toward the betterment
of the school system are offered
throughout the work. 1t is a book
with a distinct purpose, one which
will do good to all.
1t is considered fortunate that the
book will be issued at this the ap-
preaching time towards the Christ
mas holidays, when everyone is bent
upon purchasing something as gift
and are in quandary as to the exact
thing to buy. From all that can be
learned now before the book is is
ued, and from those who have read
the advance sheets, it will make a
good Christmas present, aside from
the fact that it is book which will
undoubtedly stand upon it's own
merits.
The price of the book is one dol
lar, the Grafton Press, New York
city, being the publishers.

Branchyille Brevities.

Branchville, November 23.-Last
night at his home in this place, Mr..
F. A. Bruce, Sr., passed away very
suddenly, the cause of his death be-
ing heart trouble. Mr.. Bruce was ly-
ing on his bed, and talking with his
wife when he was taken critically i'll
and died within a very few minutes.
Mr.. Bruce was 6S years of age, and
leaves large family connection. Mr..
Bruce was in comparatively good
health although he had suffered for
many years from cancer of the eye,
but this was not the direct cause Of
his death. He was member of the
knights of Pythias and the Masons,
and was buried this afternoon at 8
o'clock at the Branchville cemetery
with Masonic honors.
A fight occurred here between two
negroes last night at church in the
suburbs of the town. Gus Jennings,
believing himself to be insulted by
William Smith, used knife on that
individual, but succeeded in only ma
king two long gashes in his coat,
which has caused Smith considerable
concern. The two negroes were at
tending services at Williams Chapel
at Pleasant Hill suburb, and Smith
went to close the church door. Jen-
nings was standing on the outside,
and told Smith not to close the door
in his face. A row ensued, in which
Smith was cut, and then Smith dealt
his assailant a heavy blow with a
fence picket, and the jar was over.
A number of the Winthrop girls,
who had returned home on account
of the fever situation, have returned
to Rock Hill to resume their studies.

Grand Rapids, Mich, November
-Thirty-four members of the
junior class in the Grand Rapids
Veterinary college walked out of a
class room to-day when two negro
students entered to resume their
studies. Because of the objections
of other students the colored men
had been denied admission when they
returned to college this year, and
the negroes applied to the courts.
Judge Perkins mandamused the col
lege management to admit the two
colored students, on the ground that
the college, being a Quasi-public in
stitution, had no right to discrim-
mate against citizens because of their
color. After to-day's strike the
school authorities suspended the en-
tire junior class, including the two
colored students, until next Wednes-
day
