ARMY RANKS FULL.
With 1900 Men, No More Appli-
cants Will be Recruited.

For the first time since the Span
ish war the United States army is re-
cruited up to it's full strength in all
of it's branches, and in every recruit
ing station in New York, Brooklyn
and Jersey City there is prominently
displayed on the bulletin boards a
notice signed by the adjutant general
of the army ordering the recruiting
officers to confne themselves, until
further orders, to the reenlisting of
honorably discharged soldiers.
According to some reports the in
creased enlistment that has brought
the army up to it's full strength of
1900 men, was due to hard times,
but this is denied in part by the Of
fcers. They admit that many men
undoubtedly fell into the ranks as
result of financial depression, but
say that the majority are young men
who have gone into the army as
career. The number Of rejected ap-
plicants in the last fifteen months In
dicates that this is true, and that
those who wanted to enlist because
they could get nothing else to do
were for the most part refused by the
officers in charge of recruiting sta
tions.
Many of the recruits are mechan-
les, some are engineers, others are
from commercial vocations, while q
good number are stenographers and
shipping clerks.

To Signal Mars.

A. Lee Stevens, the professional
aeronaut, has announced that he and
Prof. David B. Todd, of Amherst
College, would go into training in
July for their proposed ascension to
a height of ten miles for the pur.
pose of signaling the planet Mars.
Aluminium cases are being made
in which the two men will remain
during the ascension, and in these
they must breathe oxygen supplied
from tanks which they will carry
with them. The course Of training
includes the inhalation Of oxygen In
a very low temperature.
On the ascension the two men
will be provided with specially pre-
pared clothing to keep them warm
and a particular dietary, on which
Prof. Todd is now experimenting.
Each aluminium case will have a
glass panel through which its occu'
pant may observe the various me-
teorlogical instruments on the out
side.
Inside there will be various elec.
trical apparatus designed to catch
any signals which may come from
Mars. The ascension is planned for
the 18th of September, when Mars
will be in its closest proximity to
the earth.

Advertise or Quit.

In an address before gathering
OF advertising men recently, F. L.
Blanchard, an advertising expert, OF
New York, among other things said
this, which we copy for the benefit
of business men who advertise-or
should il they are business men:
''The average small advertiser
thinks that he knows all there is
about advertising to be known when
he starts to advertise, and fails to
appreciate the value of an analytic
critical specialist who has spent
years in acquiring his peculiar line
of knowledge. 49,,
The next ten or fifteen years will
see remarkable developments in ad-
vertising, and it is only a question OF
g. few years when firms will be COM
PEELED to exploit the advantages OF
their goods or retire from business.
We all know that at the present time
It is the dead ones" who do not ad-
vertise-the ones whose shelves are
laden with fy-specked and shelf
worn goods. The live-wires Of every
community are the men who keep
their wares and their names con-
stantly before the public. ..

Girl as Goose Charmer.

According to a dispatch from Man
tic, Pa, to the New York American,
the power to charm animals even in
cluding geese, is possessed by Miss
Stella, daughter of Joel Weller, of
this place. She is sweet singer and
has a remarkable magnetic power
over animals. With low, musical,
whirring sound, she attracts and
tames any fowl or animal. "Goosey," "
her web-footed pet, needs but to hear
that strang sound, far or near, and
then will flap her wings, cackle and
fly into the girls lap.
Stella's sister, Cora, is a rural mail
carrier known all over this region.
She and her horse carry the mail be-
tween this place and Barto, making
two trips each day, distance of
twenty-seven miles. Pa.
During the last four years the per-
fectly fearless girl has travelled a
trif1e over 10000 miles. Everybody
along the route welcomes her and
looks for her CHEEKY smile every
morning. She is musician, too,
playing the pipe organ in church and
Sunday-school.

TANNING FOULLY SLAIN.
Williston Man Shot Dead From Am.
bush.

Williston, June Sleeve Fan
ming was slain from ambush last Fri
day night, near the old Phillips mill
site, by a party whose identity is sus-
pected, but whose whereabouts are
not known. Mr.. Tanning was dr1v-
ing along the unfrequented road,
when he was shot from behind a tall
pine. Mr.. Fanning's horse and bug
gy came to a neighbor's home, and
it was seen that the buggy was
bloody. His brother, Jack Tanning,
who has charge of the county chain
gang, was notified to come and
bring the hounds. The searching
party found the dead body near the
old Phillips mill site, which is
about two and a half miles north OF
town.
Since there was no other trail
than the murderer's the dogs had no
trouble in picking it up from behind
a large pine, where the murderer
stood to shoot his victim as he sat
in the buggy. The trail was then
followed through the woods, for the
fleeing man did not trust himself to
the travelled roads, to point on the
Edisto river about six and half
miles from the killing. There the
dogs stopped at tree on the rivers
bank and looked up as If they had
the victim treed, but on closer ex-
animation it was seen where he had
united his boat. The dogs swan
around in the river, but could pick
up no trail on the other side.

Reward Offered in Smoak Case.

Gov. Ansel has offered a reward of
500 for the arrest and conviction of
the party or parties who are guilty of
the assassination Of J. B. Smoak, a
prominent merchant killed last Sat-
urday. 1t is supposed from the let
ter received from the sheriff that
Smoak was killed by negroes who be-
lieved that the man had money on
his person when he closed his store
last Saturday night.
According to the sheriff, unless
something is done to apprehend the
murderers, the mob will deal violent
ly with any one who appears to have
a hand in the crime. The sheriff is
satisfied the killing was for the pur-
pose of robbery.
Mr.. Smoak was shot in the neck
with a shotgun as he was leaving his
store. His cash drawer, which con-
tanned s95 in cash, according to a
count made by Mrs. Smoak, was
found rifled and the money gone

ters at the place Of Rabens in Char
lesion. The gang broke into the

"BL1ND TIGER KING" GOES FREE
w. H. Sellers Acquitted Of the Slay-
ing of j. P. Farmer, in Columbia.

On last Thursday evening, after
three hours of deliberation, the jury
in the case of Wade Hampton Sell
lers, Columbia's blind tiger king, -
filed in and announced a verdict OF
mot guilty"
The plea of the counsel for the
State was based upon the fact that
Constable Farmer was acting upon
the supposition that behind him was
the authority Of the commonwealth
of South Carolina while the plea of
the defense was self-defenSe.
During most of the day the moth
er, the wife and daughter and little
son of the deceased were in the court
room, and they were very visibly af-
fected by the pleadings Of the attor-
neys.
The defendant during the entire
trial preserved a demeanor Of calm
confidence amounting almost to in
difference. At all times he was in
tensely interested in the progress OF
the trial, and not a particular Of 1t
escaped him.
He was in the court room all the
time the jury was out, calm and
apparently interested spectator of
the proceedings of another homicide
trial. When the jury that held his
fate returned to the court room,
those who looked at him noticed that
the color had receded from his
usually florid face. When the words,
mot guilty." were pronounced by
Clerk Walker, a joyful light leaped
into his eyes and face, and he arose
quickly and his hands were grasped
by those near him in congratulation
of his acquittal of the serious charge
of the crime of murder.
The members Of the family of the
deceased were not present when the
verdict was handed in by the jury.
A civil case is pending against
Sellers in which the wife of deceased
is plaintiff for damages in the sum
of $4,000 for the killing of her hus-
band by the late defendant. The &C.
quittal yesterday of defendant in
this criminal case will not stop the
suit.

COLUMBIA MINISTER
FURNISHES SENSATION
Divine Services Interrupted by Dog
the Minister Proceeds to Throw
the Dog Out of the Window.

the Dog Out OF the Wmdo"'
Rev. A. B. Kennedy, pastor Of the
First Baptist church, Columbia, ap-
peared before magistrates court IN
Columbia last Wednesday to answer
to a charge of cruelty to animals
brought by Mr.. Tyler Startling, agent
Of the S. P. G. A.
The trial developed the fact that
the dog had followed its owner, Mrs.
LeGrand Guerry, into the building
and selecting a soft spot up near the
"amen corner" had quietly laid
down. An evangelist named Wake
field took exceptions to the presence
of the dog and requested its removal,
by: the ushers. The dog preferred to
stay inside, however, and resisted
the efforts of the ushers to remove
him in a strenuous manner. They
quickly became "dog shy" and then
the Rev. Mr.. Kennedy came down
from the rostrum, seized the animal
by the throat and pitched him out OF
the nearest window.
The trial of the minister brought
forth many witnesses on both sides
and after hearing the evidence, Mag
istrate Fowles rendered verdict of
acquital.
Mr.. Kennedy, in concluding his
testimony, handed out few bou-
quets to the newspapers, saying
among other things that 1.-The papers
seemed to take q delight in making
cheap notoriety over the affair."

Maniac Butcher Slaughters Men.

somerville, Mass, June 5.-With
q maniacal shrek, John Murphy
turned from pig-sticking to man
killing in the North Packing and
Provision Company's slaughter
house to-day and driving his fellow
working men before him, slew five
of them and wounded four others.
Two Of the wounded were report
ed later as dying.
According to some of the work
men, Murphy had been acting pc
culiarly for some days, but he re-
turned from his dinner this noon ap-
parently in normal condition.
Shortly after 2 o'clock he sudden
ly uttered a blood-curdling scream
and sprang at DR.. Hayes, waving his
Is inch razor-edge knife in his hand.
He cut DR.. Hayes deep cash on the
neck, stabbed him over the heart and
practically disemboweled him. The
terrified workmen rushed for the
door, but Murphy ran after them,
slashing right and left. Every man
whom he struck went down with a
groan. The crowd plunged down
stairs, with Murphy after them, and
at every landing he cut somebody.
On the second floor one of the work
men, an Italian, seized a heavy bar
Of iron and felled Murphy, but he
was quickly on his feet again and
wounded another man.
On the street floor. he was given
another heavy blow on the head and
his knife was wrenched from his
hand. Two police officers came in to
assist the workmen and Murphy was
given fearful beating and finally
overpowered and taken to the police
station.
Murphy is so years old, weighs
200 pounds and was regarded as one
of the strongest men in the plant. He
is married and lives in Somerville.

TORNADO DEMOLISHES HOUSE,
Home of MIR. G.. S. Hungerpiller
Wrecked.

Elloree, June 5.-A terrific lorna
do passed through this section about
two miles above Elloree Thursday
afternoon about Z o'clock, about 200
feet in width and continuing for
distance of seven or eight miles, COM
pletely demolishing everything in its
path, rendering several families
homeless, damaging property to the
extent Of several thousand dollars
and injuring number Of persons.
Considering the force of the wind
and the violence of the storm and
the debris that was piled upon in
mates of homes that were blown to
pieces it is marvellous that there was
no loss of life.
The storm appears to have formed
about five miles west Of here, where
it completely demolished the home
and all of the outbuildings of Mr.. G.
S. Hungerpiller, who, with Mrs. Hun
gerpiller and their two children, was
in their home when it was torn to
pieces. All Of them received painful
injuries in the wreckage. They were
discovered after the storm and medi-
cal aid was quickly summoned. Their
injuries, though painful, are not
thought to be serious. The home Of
Mrs. L. e. Bair was completely
wrecked, but the inmates left the
house before the wind struck it. Mr..
8. c. Kemmerlin's home was blown
to pieces, and Mrs. Kemmerlin was
covered up by the wreckage. She re-
ceived several painful scars and
bruises about the head and face, and
it was some time before her hus-
| band could rescue her. The barns,
stables and outbuildings of Mr.. e. r.
Trick were blown down and consider
able damage was done the residence.
Mr.. Trick had just got home from
Elloree and was removing the har-
ness from his horse when the storm
came upon him as in a minute, and
he was knocked senseless by a piece
of timber from a falling building. He
received severe cash on the head,
but the wound is not serious.
The storm seems to have spent It's
force short distance beyond Mr..
Tricks home.

None of these teams is regarded as
a "one-man team" Yet one man on
each has been almost entirely respon
sible for the success of each.
Krause, generally regarded as the
find of the year, comes from st. Mary's
college of California. Out there he
was regarded as great pitcher in
the college class, but few of his
friends ever dreamed that he would
soar to the height he has attained this
season-and the year only half gone.
1t has been claimed that Krause
owes much of his present position to
the fact that Hal Chase, premier first
baseman of the New York Highland
ers, while a coach at the Catholic in
stitution on the coast, took special in
terest in the young fellow and showed
him a lot of tricks. Later in the Cal
ifOrnia State league Krause got some
experience and is being polished OF
nicely now under the guidance of that
sleek old baseball general, Cornelius
McGilIicuddy, popularity known as
Connie Mack
