by the marquis accent, the visitor took
him for a southron and took occasion
to make supercilious remarks abou,
the barbarous islanders Of Butte. He
said, "Blime me, suppose you're like

the DRAGON FLY.
slngu,ar'y Adapted to it's Life o.
Aerial Piracy.

Aerial Piracy.
No one could fail to be struck with
the singularly perfect adaptation of the
dragon hy's structureto a life of aerial
piracy The four wings are large and
in proportion to their weight enormous
ly strong. Each Is supported by a won
derfully arranged network of slender
ribs, which give the necessary rigidity
to the thin, transparent membranc
forming its basis. The muscles by
which the wings are moved are mass.
i've and powerful and are so arranged
among themselves that the animal Is
capable of steering its course with an
unerring accuracy which any bird
might envy. In this power 1t Is largely
aided by marvellous keenness OF
sight, for in addition to the two great,
gorgeously coIored compound eyes
which make up SO much of the head
the insect possesses three smaller "sim-
pie" eyes. making five eyes in all. The
prey when overtaken is seized and de-
voured by means OF powerful, sharply
toothed jaws.
An animal which lives such an ac.
tive life naturally requires very per.
feet breathing apparatus. and this is
amply provided by a system of holes
on the sides Of the body which open
into an elaborate network of air tubes,
supplying every part of the system,
The air in these tubes Is constantly
renewed by the regular compression
and dilatation of the body by special
muscles.-Chambers journal.

THEY NEVER DIE.

Though we wished strongly for
democratic victory we had not much
upon which to base our hope. Four
more years of Republicanism will
probably convince the people, yet
the fake reforms instituted by the
Republicans may be sufficient to
lure the average voter just as Roose-
velt's schemes did in this election
The principles set forth in the Dem,
ocratic platform were safe, lasting
and indestructible, but the whole
trouble lies in the fact that the ma
jority of our citizens either have NJ
principle or have their price. Their
can be no such thing as the de

LEXINGTON MAN CHARGED WITH
CRIMINAL ASSAULT--AN UGLY
CASE DOCTORS TESTl-
M0NY.

| Lexington, Nov. IL. w. Woot-
en- was given a preliminary hearing
before Magistrate Bachman Of New
Brookland today, who came here
for that purpose. After hearing all
the testimony in the case Magis-
trate Bachman promptly bound the
defendant over to the higher court
upon the charge of criminal assault
Mrs. Della Wooten was the prin-
cipal witness against her husband
and she told horrible story. She
told how she had caught her hus-
band in the act, and how he had
threatened to kill her if she ever di-
vulged the story. She stated that
she had gone out of the house to
get bucket of water; she heard
the child screaming and rushed in
upon her husband. She stated
that Wooten caught her in the col
lar with one hand while he held a
razor in the other and declared that
he would kill her and the child both
on the spot unless she would prom
ise him never to tell it. She said
that her husband most always slept
with his razor beneath his pillow
and she knew that if she did tell it
he would kill her. She claims
though that she did tell Mrs. Hut
to at Pelion about it and showed
her the child after the injury. Du-
ring her testimony she held the
child in her arms and would often
kiss it with an unusual amount of
motherly affection. At one time
Wooten displayed his temper. He
asked his wife if she did not know
that she had to die. Mrs. Wooten
answered in the affirmative, where
upon her husband told her that he
was sorry for her.
After Mrs. Wooten's testimony
the defendants attorney asked that
two reputable physicians be called
to examine the child, and accord
ingly the magistrate summoned Drs.
E. P. Derrick and J. J. Wingard.
After an examination they were
sworn and each testified that the
child had been injured.
The case will be submitted TO
the grand jury Wednesday morning.

NEW COUNTY.

We do not know in what manner
the business people of Leesville and
Batesburg look upon the scheme of
establishing new county with the
courthouse at Summerland There
may be some reasons justifying OBJ
lection in individual cases but upon
the whole we believe that much ben.
eft will be derived by both towns
and it will be the means of finally
uniting the two places. 1t seems
that there may be much to gain and
at least nothing to lose by favoring
the proposition. We would be glad
to have the sentiment of the people
on this question. Our columns are
open to any who care to express
themselves.

Out of a natural feeling of re-

JUDGE so by the indirect protests

that ommands the respect and ad-
