tried to get away.
She usually presented him with the
check for his signature several days
in advance of the last discount day,
but, under the baleful influence of her
loved idea, she decided to hold a bill
calling for $4,000 until the last mo-
ment. Not till the last morning did
she even calculate the discount and
she was pleased with herself until she
heard some one remark that the head
of the firm had left town for a few
days.
Out of town." she gasped. "And

HOGS HAVE HYDROPHOBIA.
Supposed to Have Been Bitten by
Mad Dog Several Weeks Ago.

Greenville, June s.-About three or
four weeks ago number Of hogs
owned by DR.. H. Il. Cook, who lives
on Pendleton street, were bitten by
dog supposed to be mad. Several
of these hogs have already shown
signs OF hydrophobia and will have to
be killed.
Two hogs owned by Mr.. Benjamin
Gibson a farmer who lives in the
northern part of the county, were
killed last Saturday on account of
fully developed cases Of hydrophobia
These hogs had ben bitten about two
weeks ago and one OF the animals
which was very large and fat died
within 4s hours after the hydrophobia
developed. The other was killed.

SHOULD BE .MUZZLED.
This Is the Only Way to Stamp Out
HydrOphObia.

The bureau Of animal industry OF
the Unite States department of agri-
culture published the fullest informa-
ton respecting rabies and it's treat
ment. Its experts declare that rabies
is one of the most easily eradicated Of
all infectious diseases and should be
stamped out. This could be done by
muzzling all dogs, as it's transmission
by other animals is too rare to need
consideration.
With all dogs muzzled in the
United States for a few days the dis
ease would disappear entirely. as has
been demonstrated by the expert
ence Of other countries. The de-
partment, however, recognizes a diff
cult obstacle to overcome.
In reality there is no cruelty what
ever inflicted on a dog in causing it to
wear a muZzle when in public places
or running at large. The animal
soon become used to it and manifests
not the slightest Inconvenience
In the absence Of muzzling the
disease will continue year by year,
causing constantly increasing suffer-
ing. financial loss and death.
The department cites that owing
to the enforcement OF dog-muzzling
laws I'm Holland, Sweden, Norway
and Germany rabies in man has al
most disappeared in those countries.
The same results are being observed
In England. In Australia, where the
infection has not been allowed to
enter, the disease is unknown.

Saved the Vase.

The little son of an English gentle
man, in mischievously playing with a
vase, managed after several attempts
to get his hand through the narrow
neck and was then unable to extrj
cate it. For half an hour or more the
whole family and one or two friends
ana their best to withdraw the fist
OF the young offender, but in vain. 1t
was very valuable vase, and the
father was loath to break it, but the
existing state of affairs could not con-
tinue forever. At length, after a
final attempt to draw forth the hand
Of the victim, the father gave up his
efforts in despair, but tried a last sug-
gestiOn.

the fearful young captive, land then
draw it forth"
II can't open it, father" declared
the boy.
"Can't?" demanded his father
"Why?"
i've got my penny in my hand"
came the astounding reply.
"Why. you young rascal" thunder
ed his father, drop it at once!"
The penny ratified in the bottom of
the vase and out came the hand.

Delightful Smoker for Members-Cane
presented to Ex-Presidcnt John w.
McKeiver.


siastic and pleasant meeting Saturday
night at Hotel Sumter. A number OF
matters Of Importance to the post
and to Sumter were discussed. Among
the more important matters was the
question Of the establishment of
South Carolina T. p. A. orphanage
and home for old travellers in Sumter.
This project was launched at the last
meeting Of Post G.
The secretary, Mr.. c. r. yeadon
was instructed to take the question
up again with the other posts in this
State.

over the members Of the post were
invited to join in a smoker at which
dlightful refreshments were served
A very happy incident was the pre-
sentation to ex-President John W.

gold headedwalking cane, in token of
the appreciation Of his brother MEM
bers Of the great interest which he
took in the preparations for the en-
tertainment of the recent T. p. A..
State convention in Sumter and his
work for Post G and the order gen.
orally. The cane was presented in an
appropriate and happy manner by
President Albert c. Ducker of the 10.
cal post. Mr.. Ducker, after assuring
Mr.. McKeiver of the appreciation Of
the members Of Mr.. McKeiver's fine
work, wound up by assuring the ex-
president that when he was using his
| stick and when he was not using it.
you must ever bear in mind that we
have nothing in our hearts but love
for you."
Mr.. McKeiver was taken by sur
prise, and plainly showed his feelings.
He said, among other things that
while he had tried to do his duty in
the work incident to the preparations
for the T. P. A. State convention, he
had been ably backed up by the men,
bers Of the committee who deserved
as much credit as he did. President
Quicker replied that while that might
be true still everybody knew that Mr..
McKeiver had not only done his
work but some of the work of others.
The members present plainly show.
ed by their actions how much pleas
ure 1t afforded them to extend this
token Of esteem to Mr.. McKeiver. A

tended to Mrs. A. c. Ducker for the
very delicious sandwiches which she
had prepared for the smoker, and a
vote of thanks to Mr.. jackson. pro.
prietor of the Hotel Sumter, for the
use of his room.

SUMTER. s. c., WEDNESDAY. JUNE TO- aOa
THORNwELL MEMORIAL FUND.
Knights Of Pythias to Honor Grand
Officer OF Order.

Charleston, June 6.-At the con-
vention Of the Grand Lodge, knights
OF Pythias, of South Carolina, held
at Aiken last week, one Of the, II not
the most important, acts Of that con-
vention was the selection and ap-
pointment OF commission to raise,
during the fiscal year, a fund
known as the Thornwell Memorial
Fund. in memory Of the late Rev.
James Henry Thornwell. who for q
number Of years and up to the time Of
his death, held the position Of grand
keeper Of records and seal.
The resolution first introduced pro-
vided that an amount be raised not
less than $4,000; this amount was
suggested by the fact that the MEM
bership Of the order within the
bounds Of the State now numbers H.
900. About IL per cent. of the mem.
bership compose the four lodges OF
this city. and 1t was suggested that II
every member within the State would
contribute 81 the required amount
would be easily obtained. TO many
members of the grand lodge this had
too much the appearance Of an as.
sessment, consequently after much
discussion the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That committee OF
five be appointed to raise (by such
means as may seem advisable tc
them) a memorial fund to the mem.
ory Of Rev. j. H. Thornwell; the dis.
position Of such fund to be deter.
mined at the convention Of the grand
lodge in 1909.
Resolved, That the said committee
recommend to the grand lodge OF
1909 an appropriate manner of utiliz.
Ing this fund.-"
To carry out the purpose of the
grand lodge the following commits.
sion was appointed: Frank p
Cooper. chairman. Charleston; Hunte,
A. Gibbes, Columbia; w. E. Lea, Tim.
monsville; P. w. Sullivan. Honea
Path; Eugene M. Peoples. Hampton.
This commission has already gone
to work. but as yet no definite plar
Of action has been agreed upon. bu,
1t is their determination to make the
amount as large as possible in exces.
OF the figures first suggested.
A careful concensus of opinion 1.
being gathered from all parts Ut the
State. from those prominent In the
order OF Knights Of Pythias. and af.
ter some definate plan of action has
been decided upon vigorous cam.
paign will be organized. Alread,
many who have the interest of the
cause at heart have voluntarily ex.
pressed their willingness to make
liberal contributions to this fund. The
matter will be brought PROMINENT.
before the lodges Of this state, and
doubtless many not connected with
the order, but who love and rever.
the memory Of him who did SO much
for the uplifting and betterment OF
mankind will make liberal contribu
tions to this most worthy cause.

MR.. OARLIN AT MANASSAS.

last night in the interest of his renomi-

gusge In denouncing some of those who
are lighting him. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mr.. r. II. Hutchinson
Mr.. Osrlin occupied much Of his time in
criticism of some OF Mr.. Gordon's utter
auces from the stump and denying the
charges that improper methods had been
used to procure his nomination in the
last primary. The speaker charged thai
Orandal Mackey, of Alexandra county,
could not speak the truth, and denounced
as lie the statement made in Loudoun
that he had offered man money there
for his support.
