Clemson College Electric Line.

In the near future Clemson Col
lege will be operating her own cleo.
trio line. The matter has been under
consideration by the trustees fol
some time. In fact when the new
boilers and dynamos were installed
last summer they were made amply
powerful to supply all local demand
on them at the college, and also to
run the electric line from Calhoun to
the college. The road will be laid
with 90-pound rails, and so ballasted
as to bear the heaviest trains.
Coal, of which the college uses a
great deal, has now to be hauled in
wagons at great expense and loss of
time. So with all other freight. This
fall they expect to handle all freight
to the college in the original cars
drawn by their own motors.
It is the intention of the college to
finally extend the line to connect
with Cherry's station, on the Blue
Ridge railroad.
The early completion of the road
will mean much in freight hauls to
say nothing of the convenience to
visitors and others having business
at Clemson.-Greenville News.

Why he Wanted the Dime.

A fine specimen of the genus hobo
approached a prosperous and busy
appearing man in Franklin Square
and solicited financial aid, says The
Philadelphia Times.
Il want drink, governor" be
said. "I'll be honest about it. Gin
me a nickel and / can buy beer and
stow away a free lunch"
The busy one admired his frank
ness and handed him the coveted
nickel. He had not proceeded fal
when he felt some one touch him on
the arm. Turning he saw the hobo
Boss" said the latter, "'scuse
me, "but l want to ask q favor"
"Well, what is it,"
He drew two nickels from his
pocket.
"will you give me a dime fol
them?" he asked.
"Yes," said the other, If you will
give me a good reason for it,
"Well, you see, boss" replied the
tramp, IF / go into saloon and pay
a nickel for a beer the barkeeper will
think it's all I have and throw me
out. But if hand him dime I'll
get change. Then I can work on the
lunch counter as long as like, for
he'll let me stay SO that he can get
the other nickel"
He got the dime.

Mileage Regulation Upheld by Hines.

Upon the request of the Georgia
State Railroad Commission, Special
Attorney James K. Hines has given
an interesting opinion in regard to
the complaints made by the travelling
public as to the exchange of mileage
book coupons for straight tickets at
railway agencies. Attorney Hines
holds that the railroads regulation
for the presentation and exchange of
coupons for mileage is entirely rea-
sonable.
Attorney Hines was asked by the
Commission to furnish an opinion
upon the right of a common carrier
to eXpel passenger, who had failed
to comply with it's regulation, requir-
ing the exchange of mileage coupons
for a ticket.
Attorney Hines says that carriers
of passengers may eject from their
conveyances all persons refusing to
comply with reasonable regulations.
He says that the present mileage
book arrangement is reasonable, be-
cause the purchaser enters into a
contract with the railway company
selling the mileage book. One of the
terms of the contract is that cou-
pons from these mileage books will
not be honored on trains except at
non-agency points or at station agen-
cies not open for the sale of the
tickets.
The purchaser, says Attorney
Hines, gets reduced rate and he is
bound by the terms of the special
contract. He says in conclusion that
the arrangement has already been
submitted to and approved by the
State Railroad Commission.-At-

CHESTER MOODY CONVICTED.
Richland County Man Found Guilty
of Shooting his Wife.

Columbia, May 29.-Chester
Moody was this afternoon convicted
of assault and battery with intent to
kill, and was sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary or pay fine OF
$4,000. The jury was out six and a
half hours.
This was quite an unusual case
and is the outgrowth of a series OF
complications. About three years
ago Moody was tried for assault up
on his wife, and an agreement was
reached by which he was to leave
the State and never return. Not long
since he came back here and was re-
arrested. Moody claimed that he
was sent here by the Seaboard to do
some work on a trestle near this
city.
After Moody's arrest there were
other cases growing out of the same
general trouble. J. B. Nunnamaker,
the father of Mrs. Moody, was arrest
ed, charged by Chester Moody with
sending threatening letters through
the mails. Later Miss Lucille Moody
was charged with adultery. Both
these cases are yet to be tried, pre-
liminaries having been had and the
parties bound over.
The claim set up by Moody's at
torney to-day in the trial for assault
and battery with intent to kill was
that the shooting was accidental.
There was a great deal Of testimony
as to the estrangement between
Moody and his wife, and on the day
of the shooting Moody is said to
have accosted her and said that he
wished to speak to her, later coming
into the room where she was, to have
taken out the pistol merely to
scare her," the gun being accidental
ly discharged On this point, how
ever, there was contradictory testi-
mony.

p. DROWNING MARS PICNIC.
Columbia Boy, Ten Years Old, Per-
(.
ishes in Hampton Creek.

Columbia, May 29.-William K.
Shannon, the little ten-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. NJ. Shannon,
met a tragic death this afternoon by
drowning in Hampton creek, before
the eyes of his mother, who made an
effort to rescue her boy from the
water, and in the presence of num-
Der of picnickers, who had gone to
the creek to spend the day. One of
the little fellows playmates, William
Weston, eleven years old, also was in
danger of being drowned when res
cued.
Mr.. Arthur Metz, a college stu
dent, took William out of the water
after swimming against the current
for about 100 yards, but it was too
late to save the child's life.
The incidents leading up to the
death of the little one were very
tragic, and the community sympa-
thizes with the parents in their sad
bereavement.
The accident occurred at Hampton
creek, four miles from Columbia,
where Trinity church held a picnic
this afternoon. The boys in the
party wandered off from the rest OF
the party and started throwing lem
ons into the water. Then some OF
them got into the shallow water
The creek is very treacherous at the
point where they were, and two OF
the boys, young Weston and William
Shannon, must have stepped into the
hole, for they were soon in deep wa
ter. Mrs. Shannon and Mrs. H. V.
Murdaugh jumped into the water to
save the boys. Mrs. Murdaugh sue
:ceeded in getting William Weston
out. of the water, and he was revived
although he had a narrow escape
Arthur Metz, who was in swimming
higher up the creek, came to the
rescue, swimming against the cur.
rent. He got the boy, who was all
but drowned, out of the water. The
reason that the rescue was not eff.
fected sooner was because the boys
clothing caught in the roots of tree
trunks in the bottom of the creek.

PRIZE FOR SHAVING HUSBAND.
Woman Earns Money in Novel Man.
ner for Cause of Missions.

Chicago, May 26.-Shaving her
husband with increasing skill on al
ternate days for one month netted
Mrs. W. o. Smith, dollar contribu-
ton for the missionary cause and a
gold pin.
The prize was gift from the wo-
mans home missionary society OF
the Austin Methodist Episcopal
church, for earning money in the
most novel way.
There were other contributions
UNIQUELY earned, but a unanimous
vote of the society has awarded Mrs.
Smith first prize.
Mrs. E. G. Snodgrass worked so
hard about the house that her hus-
band gave her 81 to "lay off" one
day. She did so and that money was
added to Mrs. Smiths missionary
contribution.

MIR. VESTS NEW ASSISTANT.
Mr.. Hunt Has Resigned to Go Into
Other Business.

Mr.. W. B. West, State auditor OF
the dispensary system, announced
yesterday that he would lose the SER
vices of his assistant, Mr.. S. J. Hunt.
who goes to Greenville to engage in
mercantile business. Mr.. Hunt has
been here two years and Mr.. West
said Yesterday: He made a most
efficient man, and we could not have
found a better man for his place. He
has been as faithful as he has been
efficient"
However, Mr.. West thinks that he
has been unusually fortunate in hav-
ing secured as Mr.. Hunts successor
very capable man, Mr.. Howard P.
Dew, of Greenwood, now connected
with the bank at Simpsonville. "Mr.
Dew is a bookkeeper of experience
and a man of fine habits" said Mr..
West last night.
There is a possibility that in the
election to be held August II several
counties may vote out the dispen-
sary.
The dispensary people appear to
be making no fight at all and the
prohibitionists are very active. Mr..
West yesterday declared that it is
immaterial to him whether or not
the whole State goes prohibition.
His profession is school teaching and
he can get several good schools in
September, but he has had an even
more attractive proposition to estab-
lish here an audit and accounting bu-
reau for general work.
While the dispensaries close for a
week before the 18th Of August, the
final closing in whichever counties
vote it out will be on the 1st Of No
vembert and even then there will be
much clerical work. Mr.. West may
hold on until the final roundup on
account of his sense of responsibility
to the powers that appointed him,
and it was this same motive which
prevented him last summer from Of
fering for State Office to which he
had every chance for election.-Co-
lumbia State.

SENATOR FIGHTS A REPORTER.
Senator j. w. Bailey, of Texas, Re.
sents Newspaper Article.


Washington, D. c., May 27.-The
spectacle of a United States senator,
weighing 220 pounds, about As
years of age, attacking young man
weighing just $50 pounds and less
than half his age-was the scene en-
acted in the main lobby of the senate
late this afternoon, when Senator
Joseph Weldon Bailey, of Texas,
made a vicious attack on William
Sinkler Manning, of the Washington
staff of the New York Times.
Becoming angered by publica-
ton in the paper referred to con-
cerning his connection with the in
come tax amendment Senator Bailey
to-day declared the writer to be a
liar. Later on Manning met Senator
Bailey in the lobby near the senate,
and assured him that he was not the
author of the article referred to.
Bailey became angry and made a
lunge at Manning, catching him by
the throat and attempting to choke
him. Manning, however, was game
and broke the hold Of the Texas
senator, who is powerfully built and
is also very strong. After breaking
the grip that Bailey had on him,
Manning got in some good ones, and
though at close range, did most of
the hitting. He bears no marks of
violence on his person tonight, ex-
cept that his neck is somewhat red
and swollen from Bailey's grasp up
on him.
After the combatants had been
separated and Manning, who had an
umbrella in his hand at the time
Bailey attacked him, had picked II
up of the floor, he said to Bailey,
showing him how the umbrella had
been bent: This is the way you at
tack gentleman and ruin a good
umbrella With that Bailey made
another frantic effort to knock Man
ming down! Several senators then
rushed in, and the trouble came to
an end.
Washington is discussing the af-
fair tonight as it has talked OF
nothing else in a long time. The
shame Of it seems to be on Bailey.
Regardless of the merits Of the
article in the New York paper, it is
said everywhere tonight that there
was not the slightest provocation fol-
the attack on Bailey's part, after
Manning had assured him that he
was not its author.
Mr.. Manning is a son of r. I. Man.
ming, Of Sumter. He came to Wash
ington about year ago from New
York and became attached to. the
Washington Office Of the New York
Times. He is one of the most gen.
tleman1y young men employed in
newspaper work in Washington, and
is probably the last person in the
world to provoke an assault without
cause. However, once In the fight, it
was only to be expected that he
would give a good account Of him
self.-P. H. NEG. in News and Cou'
rier.

COLLETON MERCHANT SLAIN.
Xoung Mr.. Smoak Killed at His
Store at Smoak's.

q. Branchville, May 29.-Word has
just reached here from Smoak's, a
small town about twelve miles from
here, in Colleton county, that J. Ben
Smoak, a young man about "a years
of age, was foully assassinated and
robbed while closing his store about
9 o'clock tonight. 1t is supposed
that tramp committed the crime
for robbery. AS he did not come
home at his regular time, his cousin,
JEFF Smoak, went after him and
found him lying in front Of his store,
shot in the breast.
Mr.. Smoak has only been in busi-
ness about two months, and was re-
Gently married. He was also agent
for the Hampton and Branchville
Railroad. Everything possible is be-
ing done to apprehend the guilty
party. Mr.. Smoak lived only about
an hour after being discovered.

The Alabama Crook.

Oliver D.. Street, district attorney
of Northern Alabama, was talking in
Birmingham about notorious GRIM
inal, says The New York Tribune.
'sThe man." said Mr.. Street, was
very resourceful in crime, very re-
sourceful and ready. Once, in res
taurant, after a hearty thirty-five-
cent dinner, he laid a battered, dingy
half-dollar on the cashiers desk. The
cashier fingered it with frowning sus-
picion. It looked pretty bad.
"It's a very painful thing spoke
up the crook, "for me to part with
that there half, friend. That half
saved my life in the battle of Shiloh.
The dent you're noticin' is where a
bullet struck and glanced of. Other
wise I'd have been killed. The half
was in my breast pocket, you know,
right over the heart.
"Let's see,' said the cashier, what
year was Shiloh; it was 1862, wasn't
it,"
Right you are, friend, 1862 the
crook agreed.
"'And this coin,' said the cashier,
quietly, is dated 1881, and it's a
counterfeit, besides.
"The crook smiled impatiently.
"sWell, of course it's a counter
feit,' said he. Naturally. How
could l have had an 1881 coin back
in 1852 if it hadn't been a counter
feit?'
"And the cashier was 30 confused
that he gave up fifteen cents change
and let the fellow 60 before he got
his wits together again"
