Drowned In Pee Dee.

A county convict was drowned
in Little Pee Dee near Harllee's
Bridge late Saturday afternoon
The negro was trustee and was
serving a two year sentence on
the gang. He purchased string
a fish from another negro who
was fishing on the stream and in
attempting to swim across for the
fish he sank into the waters and
did not rise again. The man was
a good swimmer and it is believed
that he Was seized with cramp.
He made no outcry, dut disap-
peared under the water and did
not even rise the second or third
time as is usually the case with
drowning people. After some
difficulty the body was recovered

Hooking AlIigators.

Hunting alligators at night
with bullseye lantern and shot
gun is tame sport compared with
what is called gator hunt in
Florida - said an old Floridian
who is visiting in New York. Il
mean the feat of capturing an
alligator alive and then town Q
the fellow to high ground through
mud and water from what is call
ed in Florida gator hole.
The gator fishermen first find
the hole, which is indicated by an
opening in the surrounding grass
In the midst of a dense growth OF
vegetation, where the ground is
worn smooth by the alligator in
his pulls in and out. Sometimes
these gator holes are in the ma
ture of cave in the bank of a
stream and may be fifteen or twen-
ty feet deep, and if it is not an
easy matter to get the animal out.
The fisher is supplied with a
long pole with a metal hook on
the end. He takes a strong rope
and throws it about the entrance
of the hole. Then the fisher rams
with the crooked pole down the
den and waits and listens. If he
finds gator in the hole he leases
the beast by poking him until the
gator in a rage finally grabs the
hooked pole and is pulled from the
Gen. 1t is with uncertainty that
he is dragged forth, for it is not
known whether the catch is large
or small. The fisher does not
know whether to get ready to run
or to fight. Out the gator comes,
believing and roaring mad.
After the gator is dragged to
the surface he in his rage turns
and rolls and finally twists him
self up in the rope or moose that
has been previously prepared.
With the assistance of the others
in the party the gators legs and
mouth are tied and the gator is a
prisoner.
The gator is for the most part
caught in marshes where the
ground is soft and slushy and too
wet for either horse or wagon to
enter. The fishers are compell-
ed to carry their catch to higher
ground, there to be loaded into
the waiting wagon, and the hunt
is ended. New York Sun.

HE GOT WRATHY.
Yankee Who Wanted to Buy the Hamp.
ton Mule, Got Sharp Reply

A gentleman of Orangebure
handed us the following interest
ing item a few days ago:
Being an outcome of the pecul-
lar accident by which Hampton
lost his leg, the following incident,
which may be vouch,1 for by
more than one worthy itizen of
Richland, will probably prove of
interest, especially to the surviy-
ors of those who served under
n great calvary leader, as
1t goes to show with what esteem
and veneration he was regarded
by his immortal followers. L.
will be remembered, that not very
long after his Inauguration as gov
ernor, Hampton with several
other gentlemen, set out or a deer
hunt, few miles from Columbia,
and that while riding to his stand,
the mule he bestrode became
frightened, and leaving the road
ran away through the thick woods,
and the bride on each side break
ing at the bit, the ACCOMPLISHED
horseman, to save his life, with
drew his feet from the stirrups,
and getting both legs IN the same
side of the beast, leaped to the
ground. In so doing, he fract-
ured leg and it was long ere he
recovered from the effects of the
injury
Shortly after the occurrence, a
North Western Yankee wrote to
the owner of the mule, the late
George w. Davis, of Richland,
(who had been a soldier of the
Legion, sd offering him a sum not
exceeding $500 for the animal, as
big money" could be realized
from exhibiting it as the mule
that broke Gen. Hampton's leg,
and this was the answer:
Columbia, S. c. 1876.
'D-n your Soul:
The mule that broke Gen
Hamton's leg is not for sale, but
II thought it would kick out
your id brains, 1 would make
1t a present to you. GEORGE
w. DAVIS.

Mccarthy, the reformed safe
blower, and as proved in United
States circuit court at Charleston.
Pardoned by Governor.

Judge Watts, after seeing In
spector Gregory, recommended
the pardon of Cunningham, Hin
key and Waring, but Solicitor
Johnson, prior to seeing Inspector
Gregory, had opposed the grant
ing of executive clemency. Gov.
Hayward, however, pardoned the
three men on October S, 1905.
Since Gov. Hayward pardoned
Cunningham, Hinkey and Waring,
juries in Marion county have not
been disposed to convict safe
blowers. Thomas Nolan, alias
Pat Nolan" and Charles How
ard, alias Texas Dutch" were
acquitted at Marion in February,
1907, of the robbery OF the Bank
of Mullins on December II, 1902,
but they were convicted at Spart-
anburg shortly afterwards of bur-
glary of the vault of the Enoree
Manufacturing company and SEN
fenced to 10 years in the State
penitentiary. The former trial of
.lohn King at Marion on June l.,
1909, resulted in mistrial, after
he had been brought from Allan
ia, Ga, on the expiration of his
sentence in the Atlanta prison.

Dan Harner Convicted.

Dan Hamer, who was tried al
Marion last Friday for the mur.
der of Pate Walker, son of Mr..
T. J. Walker W operates a
shingle mill 'ye Il Dee river,
has been touno guilty of man
slaughter. Hamer was convicted
at the last term of court, but an
appeal was taken and he was
granted a new trial because
some of the jury got hold of a
copy of The Herald containing
the testimony at the coroner's in
quest and an account of the kill
ing. Hamer, it will be recalled,
shot young Walker at the home of
Jno. E. Creech, a tenant on the
Marion Wiggin's place over New
Bridge. Hamer and young Walk
er had a difficulty over one of
Creech's daughters and Hamer
shot Walker with a magazine pis-
tol, inflicting a wound that proved
fatal almost Immediately. Hamer
fled to Texas where he was recog-
nized by Mr.. John Carmichael,
who was travelling that state for
Pratt's Food, and turned over to
the sheriff. Sheriff Doz1er went
out for him and he returned home
without requisition papers. 1t is
probable that Haner will serve
his sentence.
The sentence imposed on Ha-
mer was three years and five
months in the penitentiary.

Death Of Mr.. S. L. Page.

After an illness of several weeks
from typhoid fever Mr.. S. Law
renee Page died at his home at
Campbclps B dge Saturday
morning. The deceased was SIS
years of age and is survived by a
wife and several children. The
lntermcnt was made at the family
burying ground near Campbelrs
Bridge Sunday afternoon and was
attended by a large concoursc of
relatives and friends of the dcccas-
cd.
Mr.. Page was the eldest son of
Capt. VIM. Page, one of the most
prominent farmers of the COUNTY,
and was himself prominent citi-
zen and farmer. He was born
and reared near Campbells Bridge
and throughout his life had been a
leader in his community. In 1891
he was appointed magistrate at
Campbell's Bridge which office he
held continuously up until the
time Of his death. He was fair
and impartial in his administration
OF the law and as a magistrate he
made 4 record cuualled by few
and surpassed by none. This was
the only public office he ever
held.
He came along at the time when
the south was recovering from the
effects of the civil war and did not
nave the advantages of a college
training, but he was a keen OBJ
server and being man of more
than ordinary ability he acquired
knowledge from the school of
experience and kept himself we'll
informed on current events. He
devoted his life to farming and in
that line OF industry he was a
success. He leaves his wife a
valuable plantation which was
brought up to high state of cul-
tivation by his own industry.
Early in life he was married to
Miss Ella Harlee Moore, a men,
Der of prominent Robson coun-
ty family. OF this union there
were born several sons and daught-
ers who still survive him: Mrs.
J. X. Page and w. w. Page, of
Sellers; Herbert Page, of Geor-
gia; and Miss Nellie and Mr.. Otis
Page who still live at the home
place.

Large Force of Hands is at
Work Under the Direction
of Civil Engineers Laying
off Walks and Avenues,
Clearing out Uunder-
growth and Improving
Property for Next Sea-
sons Opening.

1t will not be necessary for the
people of the Pee Dec to ride hun
dreds of miles next year 10 get a
few weeks rest at a summer resort
By the time the next season opens
Reedy Greek will be ready for
visitors and after the plans of the
present owners have been carried
out there will not be more at
tractivc nor more comfortable re-
sort anywhere in the state.
Announcement was made some
weeks ago of the fact that Messrs.
w. T. Bethea and J. B. Gibson
had purchased Reedy Greek and
would develop the property into a
first-class summer resort. No
sooner had deeds to the property
changed hands than they began to
plan the development of the prop
erty. They have planned i'm
provements on an elaborate scale
and it is their purpose to carry
out the plans in every detail be-
fore the next season opens.
A force of about thirty hands
under the direction of Messrs.
Beatty & Beatty of Dillon, and
Mr.. J. NJ. Johnson, Jr.. of Mar
ION, are laying out walks and ave-
nues, trimming away the under
growth, and doing the preliminary
work to other more elaborate inn
provements that will transform
the property into a most comfort
able and attractive place.
One of the greatest improve
ments will be at the spring itself
which will be surrounded by a
concrete curbing with a wasteway
for the surplus water. The water
will pour into a marble basin at
the bottom and sides of the
spring and will flow into the con-
crete trough which is laid under
ground few feet from the open
ing. Another Improvement is a
concrete walk which will be built
from the spring to the hotel
steps.
The hotel building will be re-
modelled and equipped with other
modern improvements. During
the summer season it will be in
charge of competent manager
and those who do not own cottas IS
at the springs will have the..dvan-
tage of a frst-class hatlery at
moderate prices.
Quite a number of r-ople have
already signifed the intention of
building cottages t the springs
and there is eve reason to be-
lieve that Rec Creek will be one
of the attract and one of the most
popular re,fts in the state.
Reedy GEEK is the only sum-
mer 'ln the Pee Dee sec.
ton ant should enjoy a large
