Women blind Tigers"

Greenwood, August 12.-Two ne
gro women wearing jackets and
skirts of convict stripe made their ap-
pearance on the square this morning
with brooms in their hands and were
kept out for a couple of hours and
then carried back to their cells. They
will repeat the performance this aft
ernoon.
One of the women was convicted
of selling whiskey, and the other for
disorderly conduct. Not being able
to pay their fines, the above method
of punishment was decided upon by
Mayor Baker and Chief McCombs. 1t
is hoped the moral effect will be suf-
fcient.
There have been four convictions
since January l of female blind IT,
gers and the officials are determined
to break the practice up. The women
are not required to work on the
streets, but being out in public in
their convict stripe, it is hoped, will
have a good effect.

Italian Shoots Skipper.

Charleston, August 14.-Capt.
Jones Townsend, Of the well known
coasting schooner Josephine, of Bal
timore, was shot at an early hour
this morning by an Italian, Antonio
Aratano, on the corner of Meeting
and Chalmers streets. The men had
been drinking but when they left the
establishment on the corner, they
seemed to be in friendly relations, as
far as could be learned. Aratano was
arrested later in the day. He denies
that he shot Townsend, but he was
taken over to the Roper hospital and
there positively identified by the sea
captain as his assailant.
Aratano is in jail awaiting the re-
suits of Townsend's injuries, which
are thought to be fatal. Townsend's S
intestines are perforated in several
places and there are slim chances for
recovery.

Trim Has Lots of Trouble.

Chattanooga, Tenn, August 13.-
Rev" Henry Trim, leader OF the
Holy Rollers, a religious sect which
has met with opposition in this Sec
ton, has once more returned to East
Chattanooga despite threats OF vlo-
lence. He erected his tent on private
property and held a meeting last
night. This was interfered with by
a number of men, but Trim managed
to finish the service. When he awoke
this morning, it was to find that his
tent had been cut down and a portion
carried away. The tent was reerect-
ed to-day and Trim announces that
he will continue to hold services.
Trim has been threatened with vio-
lence in case he should refuse to
abandon the services, and trouble is
expected.

Lexington, August 12.-Deputy
Sheriff Sim ]. Miller, of this county
returned late last night from man
hunt extending over two days, bring
ing with him two negroes, Chester
Pridsett and John Nance, whom they
arrested in Aiken county. The two

clared that she would drink her own
blood before her husband should be
taken" She secured a double-bar-
relied shotgun, swearing vengeance
upon the officers if they attempted to
take her husband. Finally Deputy
Sheriff Miller became tired of the
abuse and he drew his pistol and held
the woman at bay, while Constable
Fulmer secured Nance and slipped
away in the darkness.
From Mance's the officers drove to
the home of Pridgett, two miles
away. They met no resistance here,
however, and we're soon on their

Death of Little Ruth.

It was seven o'clock in the even
ing. The old fashioned farm clock
swayed slowly the dull moments, in
puny effort to measure the dreadful
long hours of death! Little Ruth re-
vived from a stupor, her beautiful
brown eyes catching vision OF the
evening star, before hiding itself be-
hind the thick forest, dimly showing
in the twilight.
More and more adroitly she gazed,
as if some treasure in itself is de-
parting never to return to her sight
on earth again. She lay all that day
in an unconscious state only at that
opportune time reviving to catch a
vision of that heavenly treasure now
seemingly passing in transport to
her behind the thick forest.
RUTH" Ruth" a voice from
her mother kneeling beside her. Ruth
only at this sublime moment looking
around to those in the room.
Mother" she said, II dreamed that
yonder in the western sky, saw a
beautiful star, only to awake and see
it in reality"
Feeble and trembling, little Ruth
grew weaker as she talked, her eyes
snarkling with an inspiration Of
heavenly bliss, as is often the case
with a dying Christian.
'I dreamed that had passed from
this life, and two angels robed in
white came for me, telling me to look
up to heaven, to a certain star, and
oh! it was such a brilliant star, and
showed such splendor! They took
me into their arms and tenderly bore
me away and presently I found my
self in a realm Of angels in another
world, and 1 was told that it was
heaven, and that I was to live there
always in peace and happiness"
Suddenly falling backward little
Ruth sank into eternity. Her roseate
cheeks grew fainter as life became
more extinct, and a sweet smile lin
gered, bespeaking ecstacy and bliss.
Those rosy lips that had just so flu
emily spoken these tender words were
waxen. Those beautiful eyes that so
radiantly depicted such sincerity and
love lost their glow and magnihcence,
for death had triumphed over a beau
tiful life, and a soul was borne to the
heavenly shores to dwell in paradise!

How Uncle Sam Teaches Farming.

The department of agriculture is
maintained by the United States, at
an expense of eleven million dollars
annually, to discover and teach i'm
proved methods of farming. Cooper
ating with it are sixty-three State ag-
ricultural colleges with free tuition.
And a further important feature of
the system is some four thousand
farmers Institutes, by which the
classroom is taken to the fields
wherever fifty farmers will gather to-
gether to hear lectures and experts.
Sometimes these Institutes are sent
on wheels; railroad train is char
tered and an entire equipment for
demonstration purposes placed
aboard, accompanied by horticultur-
lists, entomologists and botanists.
At each little station a halt is
made while the lecturers from the
rear platform address the crowd that
gathers round. Such are the corn
specials" of Nebraska and Iowa, the
wheat special of Washington and
the "fruit train" of 1daho.-The De-

What Rural Free Delivery Does.

The telephone connection brings
the distant city to the farmers door.
But rural free delivery does more. II
brings him the daily newspaper, tell
ing all that has happened round the
world in the last twenty-four hours.
And it is the daily paper that has
widened his horizon from the village
postofice to the other side OF the
globe. Statesmen and parliaments
and famous personalities have enter
ed his personal field of consciousness.
New inventions, great achievements
reach him now so that he thrills with
the rest of the world at their happen
ing. He is living with his time in
stead of following it. And his INTEL
ligence has quickened and his convlc-
tions have strengthened as he finds
himself abreast with the world.
When rural free delivery was first
agitated, people said: why the
farmer doesn't need it. He seldom
gets any letters and he takes only
weekly papers" For that the farm
er was not to blame. To-day there
are over $4,000 free delivery routes.
The first route was established IN
1896. Out at Turner postofice, Ore.,
there were then just thirteen daily
papers taken. Three years later
there were one hundred and thirteen.
"It would take part of life away to
give it up" an Indiana farmer wrote
to the postofice department at Wash

BODY FOUND NEAR CONWAY.
Corpse of j. S. Cooper Found in the
Road.

Conway, August 12.-Lying dead
in the woods was the condition in
which J. S. Cooper, of Conway, was
found yesterday afternoon. He was
found about five miles from Conway
on the Dog Bluff road, lying a few
hundred yards from the road. The
coroner's jury rendered a verdict
that the deceased died from the ef-
fects of excessive drinking and that
he had been dead about "a hours
when found.
Cooper was an excessive drinker, it
is said, but for last few weeks had
been very sober. Monday he left Con-
way for the country, presumably to
trade horses, as that was his favorite
pastime. Early Tuesday his horse
returned home unattended and a
quart of liquor was found in the
buggy. Mrs. Cooper at once grew un-
easy about her husband, and sent
some of her friends to look for Mr..
Cooper. He was found as above
stated on Wednesday afternoon. His
body was very much discolored and
where he lay were signs indicative Of
scrambling. This, it is thought, was
where the deceased lay while in his
drunken condition. No signs of foul
play were seen.
Cooper was about 35 years old and
leaves wife.
