Jail Blown up by Dynamite.

ROME, Ga, Dec. 28.-On Christ
mas night the town Jail at Fairmont,
Ca, was blown to atoms by a charge
of dynamite placed under the build
ing and set off. Fortunately there
were no prisoners in the Jail at the
time. Parts of the jail were scat
tered all over the neighborhood and
every window in a nearby building
was shattered. The explosion oc-
Cured about 2 clock at night.
Many people thought it was an
earthquake, SC great was the rever-
beration of the ground. Others, be-
ing startled from their sleep, thought
somebody had shot a gun in their
room. Many persons rushed out of
their houses trying to find out what
the matter was. Fairmount is a
small town on the new Louisville
railroad in Gordon county. There
has been no clue discovered yet as to
the guilty parties, nor why they
did it.
There had been three prisoners in
the Jail during the day, but one of
them had been turned loose and the
other two taken to Calhoun, the
county seat. The building was made
of wood, covered all over with sheet
iron. 1t is now scrap iron.

Suicide at CASTOR Shoals.

GAFFNEY, Dec. 26-Dr. J. C. Thorn,
of CASTOR Shoals, physician for the
Dravo Contracting Company, COM
mitted suicide last night at his home
at that place about II o'clock, by cut
ting his throat with razor. DR..
Thorn has been in bad health for
some time, and at times very despon-
dent. It is supposed that one of
these despondent spells is the cause
Of his committing this horrible deed.
None of his family nor any person
so far heard from knows of anything
else which could explain the cause
for his taking his own life. The
deed has thrown a gloom over the
community in which he lived, as DR..
Thorn was universally liked by all
who knew him.
DR.. Thorn was about 81 years old
and had been practicing his profes-
sion for a good many years. He
leaves wife and two children.

Death of. Mrs. Sandifer.

Mrs. Emma Virginia Sandifer, be-
loved wife of Mr.. w. Preston Sandi-
fer, died December 26, 1907, at their
home near Denmark, S. c. Beside
her husband. she leaves seven chill
dren, five sons and two daughters.
There had never been a death in the
family until hers. Her maiden name
was Arledge. She had been a men,
ber of the Methodist church for over
twenty years but about nine years
ago transferred to the Baptist church
at Clients Branch to be in the same
church with her husband. She was
a good woman, her neighbors and all
of her family bear witness to this
fact, one of the best of wives and
mothers, and her life as Christian
was truly patterned after her Lord.
Her death was peaceful and trium-
phant. Her body was laid to rest in
the presence of a large congregation
in the cemetery at Denmark, Rev. j..
B. Traywick conducting the services.

Coal. Stoves q Curiosity.

The life of to-day is so strenuous
that we hardly realize that the
things which seem commonplace to
US would have been beyond belief to
our grandfathers, says The Delinea-
tor for January.
Spanning the recollection Of peo-
pie still living, there have been four
succeeding eras in which the forces
utilized for light and heat have mar
ked time for our progress in domes-
tic economy. On a candle-lighted
world, the kerosene lamp shed it's
beamsinseeming beautiful brilliance.
But the kerosene lamp went back to
the kitchen-shelf before the gas-jet,
and now this, too, pales before the
electric light. The coal-stove was
hailed as the improvement Of the age
when our forefathers bricked up their
freplaces. To-day in the large cities
it is a curious relic only occasionally
to be found. Tomorrow the gas
stove that has superseded twill have
gone to the dump-heap and the
electric stove will have been installed
instead.

''Now," said she to exemplify the

lars and went into the store to spend
it. Say bought a hat for five dol
lars. Then I spent 81 for gloves, and a
dollar and fifty cents for some other
things. How much did / have left?''
For a moment there was dead

DR.. Henry Hartzog.

We were pleased to have DR..
Henry S. Hartzog in the Courier Of
flee one day last week. He had been
visiting his old home and relatives in
Barnwell and stopped for a day in
Greenville. DR.. Hartzog is presi-
dent of Ouachita college, Arkadel-
phia, the Baptist college for Arkan-
sas. He is greatly pleased with his
present position, and reports the col
lege in a prosperous condition with
about five hundred students enrolled.
The college is co-educational which
is true of many of trans-Mississippi
schools. We are glad to know that
DR.. Hartzog is happy in his work,
for he is worthy of the very best
that Arkansas Baptists can give him.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Ernest G..

Operating Company, against which a
petition in bankruptcy was, filed last
Friday, committed suicide today BY
jumping in front of a subway train
at the 18th street station. The IA

precipitating a panic among the hum

became hysterical, and it was with
difficulty that the crowd was con-

Railroad to Due West Open.

ANDERSON, Dec. 27.-The initial
trip over the Donalds & Due West
railroad was run today and the resi-
dents of those two towns are rejoic-
ing, especially those of Due West,
who have heretofore not had any
railroad service at all. The length
of the road is four miles. Construc-
ton commenced many months ago,
but was retarded by one thing and
another. A small engine and three
cars, passenger, a baggage and a
fiat arrived at Due West on the lot
in the rear of Erskine college. Many
Due West people walked to Donalds
this morning to ride on the first
train over the road.
It is supposed that some sort OF
schedule will be established which
will give connections with the Colum-
bia and Greenville trains at Donalds.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Dec. N.-Just
as the black cap was about to be
placed today over the head Of Henry
Thaxten, a negro convicted for the
killing of S. T. Hunstucker, white, a
telegram from the governor, order
ing a suspension of the execution for
Is days, was delivered to the sheriff.
The prisoner raised his hands and ex-
claimed: my Cod"
The negro had made a statement
from the gallows, and in a minute
more the trap would have been
sprung. At this point a boy rushed
up to the gate and handed a tele-
gram to Chief Deputy Brown, who
quickly cried out: 'Hold, colonel,
wait a minute.
The sheriff mounted the steps OF
the gallows and read the message
aloud. The prisoners in the Jail
gave a loud cheer and the prisoner
was led back to the Jail praying and
weeping.

ATTACKED BY BURGLAR.
Negro Enters House and Makes De-
sperate Attack.

ANDERSON, Dec. 27.-A most hor-
rible affair occurred seven miles
north of the city on Christmas eve
about 10 o'clock when Will Guyton
entered the bed room of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Welborn. Mr.. and Mrs.
Welborn were awakened by footsteps
in the room. MIR. Welborn arose and
grabbed for his trousers, in which he
had about $40. The negro grabbed
for the trousers also and a fight en-
sued. The two men fought des.
perately in the bed room for several
minutes, but Guyton succeeded in
freeing himself. He went into the
kitchen to escape, when Welborn fol-
lowed and the fight was renewed:
Guyton finally got out in the yard
and began throwing rocks through
the window into the bed room. Some
of the rocks crashed the window
lights and one of the biggest rocks
fell into the cradle where the infant
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Welborn was
sleeping. The child was unharmed. |.
There was some talk of a lynching,
but Deputy Sheriff Scott was allow
ed to bring the negro to the jail. He
was arrested by some of Welborn's
neighbors. It is said that Guyton
knew that Welborn had the money
in his room and that the negro had
intimate3 that he intended to get it
that nigL+t. Guyton is now in the
county Jail and will have to face the
charge of burglary in the night time,
the penalty for which in this State is
from five years to life time
