CAPTURED LIQUOR AND TEAM.
Owner Made His Escape Though Off,
Ger Made Hot Chase.

AS the result of a trip made by
Officer V. B. Martin into the neigh
borhood of Portman Saturday night,
horse and buggy and eight gallons
of corn whiskey are lodged at the
county Jail to-day.
Officer Martin came upon his man
just about dark this side of Earle's
Bridge, which spans Seneca river be-
low Portman dam. On sight Of the
officer the man leaped from his buggy
and went in an opposite direction
with the officers dogs at his heels.
Though Officer Martin chased the
man for some two hours and fired at
him several times, he made his es-
cape.
The horse belonging to the man
will be harbored for thirty days and
if not called for by that time will,
according to law, be sold. This makes
two teams that Officer Martin has in
custody, one being captured in the
Mountain Creek section some days
ago.-Anderson Mail.

Freakish Work of Lightning.

Johnston, Aug. 5.-Lightning did
some freakish work here yesterday
during heavy rain about o'clock,
striking the home of Mr.. David
Strother, on Main street. Beginning
at a corner of the, house it tore up
the weather boarding and knocked
off plastering. Darling from the up
per story into the kitchen it shatter-
ed the safe door and did injury to
other woodwork. A negro girl was
in the kitchen washing dishes but
was not even shocked, neither were
Mr.. and Mrs. Strother, who were in
the house as the electric current ran
from room to room. 1t is supposed
the trouble came from an improperly
laid telephone ground wire.

The Right Rev. Bishop of Dela-

"A young man came to me one
day and said: Bishop, I want you
to marry me on next Wednesday,
"sAIl right, young man; I'll marry
you,' I assured him.
Well, I want the bell to ring,

1t Pays to Make Good Butter.

When the housewife who makes
the country butter that comes to
town and sells for 10 cents and -
cents a pound, when good but
ter is selling for rs to 80 cents a
pound, learns that ordinary kitchen
cleanliness is not dairy cleanliness;
that she cannot guess at the tempera-
ture of the milk or cream in the
churning, but can buy thermometer
for a trifle that will tell it accurately;
that butter should not be touched
with the hands, and that it should
be wrapped in nice packages with
butter paper and not in rags, then
country butter will come nearer
bringing the price which she now
thinks it is worth. When good
butter sells for 80 cents a pound, IL
cents is big price for average coun-
try butter.-Progressive Farmer.

Jealous Russian Women Lynch Flirt.

Jealous Russian Women Lynch Flirt.
A cablegram from St. Petersburg
says:
A savage and revolving case OF
lynching occurred on Saturday last in
the village of Voleeckni, in the gov
ernment of Volbynia. A young and
beautiful woman living in the village
had succeeded in incurring the hatred
of the other women of the village by
her flirtations with the men of the
neighborhood, both married and sin
gle, the women's hatred for the girl
reaching climax on Sunday when it
became known that on her account
one of the young men Of the village
had broken his promise to marry an
other girl.
On coming out of church on Sun
day the women, both old and young,
threw themselves upon the firt, and,
in spite of her cries for mercy, tore
all her clothes of. They then drag
ged her through the village by the
hair Of her head, beating and stoning
her mercilessly.
At first the men laughed, but when
they saw how savagely the girl was
being maltreated they attempted to
rescue her. The infuriated women,
however, drove them of, and then
dragged their unhappy victim, who
was by this time mass of wounds, to
a large tree just outside the village,
where they hanged her to one of the
branches, and then lighted a fire Of
brushwood under her.
When the police arrived on the
scene they found the victim of the
women's fury lying dead under the
tree, blackened to a cinder.

Trivial Dispute Leads to Staying OF
Prominent Man.
Butler, Ca, Aug. 4.-As a result
of trivial dispute here late yester-
day, NJ. C. Mcdaniel, one Of Taylor
county's best-known planters, was
killed by his nephew, A. J. Peacock,
a young farmer.
Peacock's father and Mcdaniel be-
came involved in a petty quarrel.
The son interceded for his father and
assaulted Mcdaniel with a post-hole
digger.
The two families are neighbors and
are widely connected.
A coroner's jury in arriving at a
verdict placed the blame upon young
Peacock, who surrendered to the
sheriff.

mill was found in the company's
vault to-day. The discovery was
made by auditors who are investi-
eating an alleged shortage Of $780,
600 in the books of Assistant Treas
urer Calhoun Harris. About $751;
900 has now been found in the

tire alleged shortage. He was releas-

CONGRESSMAN IN FIGHT.
MIR. Hefiin, of Alabama, Has En-
| counter with Automobilist.

counter with Automobilist.
Washington, August 4.-Repre-
sentative Thomas Heflin, of Alabama,
became involved in personal en-
counter with an automobilist, whose
name is said to be Johnson, on the
streets of Washington this afternoon.
AS no arrests were made the identity
of Mr.. Hef1in's antagonist could not
be clearly established.
Mr.. Heflin and Representative o.
lie James, of Kentucky, were crossing
F street together this afternoon,
when an automobile whizzed by
them. Mr.. James says the driver
was handling the machine carelessly
and was exceeding the speed limit,
very nearly running them down.
When the car stopped some distance
up the street, the two congressman
followed and took the cars number.
Observing this action, the automo-
bilist followed and hailed the con-
gressmen, it is said, inquiring why
they had taken his number and ask
ing their names.
The congressman replied that they
intended to report him for fast and
reckless driving and told him who
they were. Denying their allegations,
the driver is said to have made some
remark that was exceedingly distaste-
full to Mr.. Hedin. Mr.. Hefin's re-
joinder, it is said, was sharp and to
the point.
The two Southern representatives
then moved away, but the AUTOMOBILE
ist, it is alleged, persisted after them,
demanding Mr.. Hefin to withdraw
his statement.
The two men came together in
front of a local hotel, but few blows
were struck. Mr.. James and Mr..
Hefin's colleague, Mr.. Clayton, who
had come up, separated the combat
ants before any damage had been
done.

RAIDING THE TIGERS.
Constables in Charleston More Ac'

Charleston, Aug. 5.-The State
constables and the police department
continue to make raids and with
large quantities of contraband stuff
stored about the city the seizures are
now netting better returns, but the
blind tigers are still in business and
it remains to be seen whether the ef-
forts Of the constables and police will
drive many out Of business. One Of
the seizures to-day was 40 cases Of
cheap beer at one establishment.
Whiskey as well as beer is being
seized and arrangements have been
made to deposit this stuff at the main
dispensary, save such portions of it
as may be emptied into the sewers.

Roanoke, Va, Aug. 6.-Bertha
Define, a young white woman, after
quarreling last night with young
man on the street, shot herself in the
head, in an attempt to commit sui
eide. A "rat" in her hair saved her
life, the speed Of the bullet from .32
calibre revolver being checked by
that appurtenance. When the ply
sicians at the hospital pulled the hair
from the wound the bullet came out

$4OO, ,OOO-No Further Revelations
of Irregularities in Accounts.
Anderson, Aug. 4.-There are no
further developments in the Calhoun
Harris alleged embezzlement case
other than that several friends put
up the s22,500 bond and Harris has
been released. The accountants are
still checking his books in the Orr
cotton mill Office and have not an
nounced disclosures Of any further
Irregularities. Harris secured an ex-
pert accountant to-day to represent
him in the audit of books, but the
accountant left Anderson this after
noon without taking part in the
work. The accountant claims that
he was given no show; that his duty
as pointed out by auditors of the
American Audit Company was to
sanction their work as they progress
ed.
The attorney for the mills said
this afternoon that there is on the
minutes a resolution adopted by the
board to allow Harris, his attorney or
expert accountant, to be present at
all times and watch the audit Of the
books.
Harris friends are disposed to
think that he has brooded so much
over his mistakes that his mind is
unbalanced. They say that many
things have been unearthed that
would not have been done by sane
man and that the discovery of so
much money stored away in old
boxes and bags in the vault with
every appearance of having been
there for years shows that there was
no criminal intent on Harris part.
Harris is at home on south Main
street and insists stoutly that the &C
countants will find that not single
dollar has been misappropriated
when they complete their audit
President Hammett said tonight:
Even if the shortage is found to
be $50,00O, the Orr mills will not be
crippled at all. We have surplus
of a little more than 100000 and
the shortage can be charged of with
out depreciating the value of the
stock. Our mills are capitalized at
$500, 900 and are worth s1,500,0O
