FROM RUSSIA TO AMERICA.
First Steps i'm Transforming Russian
Into an American.

Anderson, April 15.-Elejocum
Davidson, IA years old, and unable
to speak word of English, arrived
in the city yesterday from Russia,
having made the whole Of tho trip
alone, and he seems to have gotten
on pretty well. When EleJucum ar
rived he was certainly a queer look
ing specimen from the American
point of view. He was dressed in
tight-fitting gray trousers, high
boots, round, feZ-shaped cap and
wore heavy overcoat. All OF his
belongings were carried in large
handbag. The boy is a nephew Of
b. Hillman, and a brother Of Sam
Davidson, who was for some time in
Anderson. He has come to America
to learn the ways of the people of
this country, and himself in time be-
come citizen. When his uncle got
hold of Elejocum, he fitted him up
in complete American style, and
hustled him on to Atlanta, where the
boy will join his brother, now a clerk
at the Kimball House. Any one who
saw the boy when he first arrived
and when he took his departure
would never have recognized him as
the same Elejocum.

HISTORIC TREE is GONE.
The Large Red Cedar at Tamassec
Uprdoted In Recent storm.
(Cor. Anderson Mail.)


Walhalla, April 16.-Thomas Nc
Bride Kelley, OF Tamassee, was in
town this week and stated that re-
cent storm had blown down the large
red cedar tree on his place. under
which Gen. Pickens died.
Mr.. Kelley's residence, q modern
and commodious structure, stands
upon the exact spot that the old Red
House. in which Gen. Andrew Pick
ems lived stood.
Mr.. Kelley says that he will keep
the body OF this cedar and that it
will be worked up into souvenirs.
This cedar was very large one,
the lower limbs of which had droop-
ed until their ends had touched the
ground and had become re-rooted
and grown erect. OF recent years
many of these limbs have been car
ried away by relic hunters to be used
for racks.
Tamassee, the former home of
Gen. Pickens, is ten miles north of
Walhalla, and is a noted summer re-
sort on account Of its beautiful seen
cry, delightful climate and historic
lore.

IMPORTANT To STOCK RAIsERs.
New Act of General Assembly Will
BE of General Benefit.

Clemson College, April 20.--Edi-
tor Keowce Courier: The last Gene
raj Assembly of South Carolina pass
ed measure that is Of great i'm
portance to stock breeders of this
and other States.
This act prohibits the importation
OF diseased live stock into the State
OF South Carolina. Such law be-
came necessary owing to the passage
Of similar laws by other States, and
unless this protection had been af-
forded this State would soon become
a dumping ground for diseased stock
from other States.
Briefly summarized, the act is as
follows: "All shipments of live
stock, except those for immediate
slaughter, must be accompanied by
certificate of health, showing that
the animals are free from contagious
or infectious diseases. This certifi-
cate can be Issued by the State Vete-
rinarian or assistant State Veterina-
rian of the State from which ship
ment Is made, or by a veterinarian
In the employ Of the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry, or by
any competent veterinarian author
lied by the State Veterinarian of
South Carolina. All health certifi-
Gates must be in duplicate, (these
certificates will be furnished quail
fed veterinarians and transporta-
tion companies at actual cost, the
original Of which must be forwarded
to the State Veterinarian Of South
Carolina, and the duplicate must be
attached to bill of lading for said
animals"
All cattle over six months Of age,
except those for immediate slaugh-
ter, must be tested with tuberculin
and must be free of tuberculosis be-
fore they are brought in this State.
Temperature reports of the test or
certified copy OF same must accom-
pany the health certificate. The tu-
berculin test must be made within
SO days preceding shipment.
The penalty for violation of this
act is a fine of not less than $500
and not more than 1000, or i'm
prisonment for not more than one
year. This act also allows indemnity
for tuberculous and glander animals
destroyed by the State authorities.
Previous TO the passage of this act
no indemnity has been allowed. This
act will undoubtedly prove of great
Valuc to stock owners in this State
and to facilitate shipments of live
stock into South Carolina.
Very truly yours,
NJ. Ray Powers,
state erinarian.

800 GUESTS FLEE FROM DEATH.
st. George Hotel, San Francisco, To-
tally Destroyed by Fire.

San Francisco, April 16.- Five
bodies recovered aud probably eight
or ten others buried in the ruins;
six injured, one fatally, and property
loss of $125, 1000, are the results OF
| an early morning fire that destroyed
the st. George Hotel, a lodging house
for iuDore"e, at Howard and Eigth
streets, and eight other small build
ings.
The bodies taken to the morgue
were so charrcd that Identification
was impossible. ID. >. Cartwright, a
carpenter, formerly of Salem, Ore,
was fatally burned.
The hotel was u three-story frame
building, and burned so rapidly that
none of the $50 guests had time to
dress, and many escaped by jumping
TO the roof of an adjoining Workshop
Scores clambered down the ladders OF
the firemen and the fire escapes, and
at least four jumped to safety into
the net held by the fire fighters.
When the fire was discovered
shortly after 3 o'clock, Night Clerk
Gronhk, three or four other en-
ployees, and Policeman w. F. Kru-
ger, ran through the house aro"s:ns
the sleepers.
Great confusion prevailed, so that
it was with great difficulty that men
were able to find their way through
the labyrinth OF the halls, which
threaded the 400 small rooms.
The St. George Hotel was a fimsy
structure, built as an emergency
lodging house after the great fire OF
1906.
Two hundred people were in the
hotel when the fire broke out. One
hundred and thirty-seven of these
were regular boarders and the rest
transients. OF the regular boarders
thirty are unaccounted for, but it is
believed that many Of them escaped
in the confusion and have neglected
to report their safety.

BELIEVES IT DUTY
TO KILL HIS WIFE
BARBER SHOP PROPRIETOR is
ARRESTED
Son Informs Police of Strange Delu-
sions Harbored by J. J. TiIIey,
Who Is Sent to County
Hospital

Believing he had divine guidance to
kill his wife at any time he deemed it
necessary, j. j. Tilley. proprietor of the
barber shop at Hotel Rosslyn, was ar
rested last night by Detective Roberts,
and after being examined at the receiv-
ing hospital was adjudged insane and
sent to the county hospital.
Tilley was arrested on the advice of
his son and as the result of an attempt
Friday night to strangle his wife.
For long time Tilley has been la
boring under the delusion he must
some day kill his wife, but not until
Friday night did he become violent.
After returning from his work Friday
night Tllley told his wife he had re-
ceived a spiritual message that she
must die. The appearance of Tilley's
son prevented a possible tragedy.
Tilley recovered temporarily and re-
sumed his work at the Rosslyn ton
sorial parlors yesterday, but his son,
fearing that he might suddenly become
violent and commit a crime, sent word
to the police station and Detective
Roberts was detailed to arrest Tilley.
The insane man had just finished
shaving a customer when Detective
Roberts appeared. and Tilley without
hesitation accompanied the officer.
When First and Main streets was
reached Tilley created a scene and was
taken to police headquarters with diff
fculty.
His son accompanied him, and as his
case was apparently one that might
result in violence, Tilley was sent in a
cab to the county hospital.

INVENTOR EXHIBITS

Makes Successful Test of Wonderful

Much speculation has been caused II
local electrical circles over a recent
demonstration of the electrical bat
terry invented by julius J. Krohn. AL
though the apparatus has been stand
ing in water for nearly two.weeks and
had been subjected to frequent tests
Sc amperes and $50 volts were secured
at the public test.
The battery operated a threehorse
power motor and was pronounced a
complete success by the large num-
ber of electrical and chemical experts
who witnessed the workout.
At a previous exhibition the perco-
lating system, which is one of the
chief advantages of the battery, re-
fused to operate properly, causing the
enormous current to short.
After perfectirg the percolating ma
chinery, by which the battery may be
run continuously for a period of two
weeks, the centrifugal pump by which
the liquid is forced from cell to cell

paratus, composed of $50 small, hard
rubber cells, was operated continu-
ously for nearly three hours by the
inventor. Much qualification has been
expressed at the success of the eX-
pertinent by the members of the COM
pany which is backing Krohn and it
is probable that steps will be taken
toward erecting a factory for the
manufacture of the apparatus in Los
Angeles. The secret of the success
which Krohn has met with lies in the

neither an acid nor an alkali, this Ii
