Shoots White Partridge.

Aiken, Dec, What is believed
to be the only white partridge ever
seen anywhere hereabouts was killed
this week by Louis Mills, near Mont
morenci. No one here has ever
heard of white partridge anywhere,
but that this is genuine specimen
there is no doubt whatever. The Pc
culiar bird was killed from a covey
of some 20 ordinary partridges.
It has but one feather that re-
sembles partridge feathers-this is
one wing. Otherwise, excepting two
or three black feathers, it is snow
white.
The white partridge had been seen
several times by hunters around Mont
morenci, but none could get shot at
it. One day this week Mr.. Mills saw
the white one in the large covey OF
partridges, and CHANGING to have his
gun, he kept his eye on the white one.
Mr.. Mills got a shot and killed it.
Reg Courtney now owns the bird,
and he states that he intends having
it mounted by a taxidermist.
The white partridge is perhaps a
hybrid, although in every respect, ex-
cept color, it is just like an ordinary
partridge.

An Unusual Case.

McAlester, Okla, Nov. 27.-A case
that is believed to be absolutely
without parallel in medical or legal
annals in this country has arisen
here involving rival physicians in a
little town in this county. The child
of one of the physicians was danger
ously i'll of diphtheria, when the
father telephoned to physician in
this city to rush a supply of antitoxin
to him. The McAlester physician
engaged boy at livery barn to
drive the twenty-five miles with it.
He reached the town about l o'clock
in the morning and inquired at the
first house he came to. The man who
answered said he was going to the
physicians home to set up the re-
mainder of the night and would take
the medicine. The boy gave the man
the antitoxin and returned home.
The doctors child died in a few
hours. Later the father advised the
physician who had sent the antitoxin
that it never reached him. Coming
to McAlester to investigate he found
the boy, heard his story and took him
home with him to point out the house
where he gave the man the antitoxin.
The boy led him to the house of
the rival physician who was treating
a case of diptheria at the same time
the other physicians child was dying
of the disease. He saved his case.
The physician who lost his child is
preparing to bring a suit for dam
ages against his rival. Learning Of
this the accused physician obtained
warrants for the messenger boy,
charging him with criminal careless
ness and perjury.

Contests in Congress.

Washington, Dec. "A half dozen
election districts in five States figure
in the contests which will be fresh
ed out early in the next session OF
the house of representatives. These
contests notices of which have been
received by the clerk of the house,
will be laid before the committee, OF
which there are three in charge OF
such matters, probably Wednesday.
Among those in the South that is the
First district of Louisiana, where H.
o. Warmoth is contesting the seat OF
Albert Estopinal.
Two South Carolina members are
having their elections contested,
George S. Legare in the First district
and Asbury F. Lever in the Seventh.
Mr.. Legare's contestant is A. P. Prio-
leau, and Mr. Lever is being fought
by r. H. Richardson. All three of
these contests are based largely on
legal technicalities.
Claiming that the shifting Of a
county from the Fifth district OF
Virginia into another district was
illegal and deprived him of sufficient
ballots to change the result, ]. N.
Parsons is fighting for the seat OF
Congressnsn F. W. Sanders.

Shot While Duck Hunting.

Georgetown, Dec. IA very de-
plorable accident occurred near here
this afternoon about 4 O'Clock, re-
sulting in dangerous wound to Ar
thur F. Ward, son of Col. S. NJ.
Ward.
Mr.. Ward, in company with sew
eral other young men, was on the
Santee river duck shooting. It ap-
pears from the statements of those
who were with him that he was try
ing to draw small canoe across the
marshes. In some way the gun in
the boat was discharged, the load
penetrating the side of the boat
striking Mr.. Ward in his leg just a
few inches below the hip joint. Mr..
Ward was brought back Immediately
by his companions and he is now
resting very we'll at his home. Moth
ing can be learned tonight as to the
condition of the wound, as the ply
sicians have made no statements yet
1t is thought, however, that the
wound is very serious.

Has TASTED Nearly q Month.

Rome, Ca, Dec. 4.-Vowing that
he will not allow food to pass his lips
until Almighty God speaks to him
and commands him to eat, William
Tippen, a confectioner, and interest
ed in several enterprises here, has
tasted for % days. He has suffered
from tuberculosis for several years,
but believes that through faith and
fasting he will be cured. His the
ory is that food simply furnishes fuel
for the disease. Although his wife
and friends beg him to eat he de-
clares he will not do so until the
voices of God commands him. He
says he is not hungry and has no de-
sire to eat for food and will await
such time as God sees fit to restore
his appetite. Tippen is very weak
and unable to leave his bed and his
death is daily expected.

Murray Case More Tangled.

Governor Ansel almost daily gets in
more of curious predicament about
the petition for pardon of George w.
Murray, the Sumter negro ex-con-
gressman and former extensive land
owner of that county. Petitions and
counter petitions have come in from
Sumter, both numerously signed, fol-
lowing complaint from that section
that the governor hesitated about is
suing requisition for Murray, who is
and has been for several years in
Chicago.
The petition sets forth that Murray
was wrongfully convicted and then
asks that he be pardoned on condl-
ton that he remain away from Sum-
ter and the State.
Attorney Mason, of Chicago, the
son of Former United States Senator
Mason, of Illinois, who represents
Murray and who came here some time
ago and settled up Murray's estate,
opposes requisition, regardless OF the
showing that Murray was wrongfully
convicted, and asks that the requlsl-
ton be revoked or that Murray be
pardoned either without conditions
or with the condition that he remain
away from the State, claiming that
Murray does not wish to come back
to South Carolina.
And now comes also Attorney
Noise, of Sumter, who represented
Murray at Sumter, asking that the
governor revoke the requisition. A
number of Sumter people who have
visited Columbia recently, when
asked about the Murray case, all
agreed that it would not be desirable
for Murray to come back to Sumter,
that he is disturbing element among
the negroes. And on top of all this,
his bondsmen refuse to stand for the
expense of bringing Murray back to
the State. They have paid the for
felt to the State, but it is understood
that they were reimbursed out of
Murray's estate and are satisfied.
Whether he can force the county
against the will TO meet this expense
is another side problem the COVER
nor has to consider in the case.

MOTLEY BACK HOME.
DefauIting Bank Cashier of Lake
City Bank Returns.

Sheriff George j. Graham, of
Williamsburg, passed through the
city Thursday morning, having in
charge young Daniel E. Motley, the
Lake City bank defaulter, who was
arrested in Camden, n. j., few
days ago.
The prisoner expressed his desire
not to get off the train here, so he
was not disturbed. The sheriff car
ried him on through to Kingstree,
where he will be placed in Jail to
await further proceedings. Motley
was arrested by detective by the
name of Smith who saw his picture
in some of the detective magazines,
and as soon as he was placed in GUS
tody in Camden, the Williamsburg
authorities were notified.
It is stated that if young Motley
had not run off and tried to keep out
of the way of the authorities, prob
ably some of his friends and relatives
would have tried to fix up his short
age and keep him from having to
suffer the consequences, but he did
not seem to realize this when he
jumped the game. 1t is said that
there was not a young man in Lake
City that bore the confidence and es-
teem of all the people of that town
any more than he did. He was
bright, Industrious young fellow,
good-natured and kind, and as clev-
er fellow as you ever met. He
was very popular in social circles
and WAS connected with nearly all of
the secret orders in the community.
He is about 25 years old and unmar-
ried.-Florence Times.

RURAL PLUTOCRATS.
Western Farmers Have Succumbed
to the Oriental Rug Fever.

The increasing importance Of the
western farmer as a financial factor
is shown by the fact that eastern
bond houses have for sometime been
endeavoring to place securities IN
his hands.
At several points enterprising men
have made up from the personal
property tax record lists Of farmers
who have money and sold the names
to bond houses. A number of banks
have lists of farmers with surplus
cash who are in the market to buy
good mercantile and industrial paper.
A year of two ago the fact that the
farmer was entering the automobile
market was looked upon as astonlsh-
ing. This year, says The Square
Deal there isn't town of more than
a thousand persons in Nebraska that
does not have from one to three gar
ages where the machines are sold.
Down in Seward county, in town or
200, one man has sold IA autos since
April /, and every one of them went
to some farmer in the neighborhood. |.
Practically every dealer in agricul-
tural implements, and these are num-
erous in the west, handles automo-
biles.
This year, however, the farmer is
reaching out for a more distinctive
hallmark of fortune-he Is buying
oriental rugs. The rug man in one
of Lincoln's department stores has
sold IL consignments of oriental rugs
to actual farmers is, men out
on the farm-not rug or two, but
enough to fit out the parlor and Sit
ting-room. One order was for 81
400, and the farmers check was
forthcoming when the delivery was
made.
The farmer, wife and daughter
went into the store one morning and
asked to look at rugs. The old gen
tleman explained that his daughter
had been at the State university for
four years and had got the idea that
the old home didn't look right with
carpets, and as they had the money
they were inclined to accept her ad-
vice.
They didn't just know how the
rugs would look on the floors. The
obliging salesman dumped them into
several trunks, shipped them to the
nearest station, and when he came
back he had disposed Of $4,000
worth.
