RESCJEs CHILD.
Faithful Creature Drives OF Mad
Brute which Attacked Girl.

A dispatch from Saluda says a
mad dog passing through that town
Saturday morning created quite a
commotion. After he had bitten
several dogs he was followed and
killed. His movements for the "a
hours previous have been traced and
it is learned that besides biting num-
bers of dogs, geese, turkeys and hogs
in the Ellis section of that county
and between Saluda and the Ellis
section, he bit the little 10-year-old
daughter of Brown Butler. The child
was out in the yard when the dog
ran into some geese near by. The
child went around the house to see
what was causing the commotton.
The dog at once jumped on her.
too, and fastened his teeth In her
face. 1t Is very probable her face
would have been lacerated much
worse had not Buffers dog run up
and, seizing the rabid dog. made
him loose his hold on the child.
Butler has gone to the Columbia
hospital with the child for treat
ment.

Two Valuable War Relics.

Mr. F. I. Gates, of the Cameron
section, has. left at our office two
valuable was relics. One Is needle
case, with the needles still In 1t,
that he carried and used from the
beginning to the close of the civil
war. The other is a small testiment
that he carried with him during the
same period. Both of them are in
excellent condition. The needle case
and needles were given to Mr.. Gates
by a young lady just before he went
to the front as member Of the Fifth
South Carolina Cavalry. Both the
relics, like the gallant old veteran
who carried them so long, did good
service. We have placed them in
one Of the shown windows of Sims
Book Store, where they can be seen
for q few days.

PHOSPHATE DEPOSIT.
Hope They Will Bring Great Riches
to Branchville.

Branchyille, Nov. 26.-Special:
State Geologist Sloan, of Columbia,
has been in Branchville the past
week looking further into the bed
of phosphate rock that Is situated
almost right in town. 1t will be
remembered that last winter while
digging a well on the lands Of Mrs.
Murray, there was discovered a de-
post of geological specimens and
rocks that were curiosuly examined
by many. They were determined
then as being phosphate, but moth
ing was done to determine the real
worth of the bed and how rich 1t
was.
Now the geologist has made g
thorough inspection of the land
around where this find was made and
has gone into the thing thoroughly.
He finds that under the surface about
ten feet there Is q great bed Of
this deposit that he declares Is good
phosphate 1t Is very rich and will
produce, it Is estimated, at least
1000 tons per acre and possibly a
great deal more, all of it being very
close to the surface. 1t is not
known yet how far the deposits
extend, but it is most prob
able that they cover consider
able portion of the land. Mr.. ]. j.
Hutto owns the land where the rich
est find of this rock is situated, and
this land is just out side Of the
town limits.
Geologist Sloan stated when ask
ed as to the probability Of working
this find, that in the course of FIVE
or ten years it could be worked very
profitably and would be source Of
much revenue to the parties own
ing the land and to the town OF
Branchville as well, for then ferti-
lizer mills could be erected here and
the farmers could get their ferti-
lizing material at first cost and with
out having to have it shipped in to
them.

"a Knight For A Day"

The biggest scream that musical
comedy has known in the last twenty
years Is credited to B. c. Whitney's
stupenduous production of the not
ed musical cure for the blues, "A
knight For A Day." which visits
Orangeburg on Thursday, December
2, during its second triumphant tour
of the sunny South. It is under
direction of Ben Falk and comes
here with the same cast and chorus
that this season presented the gaiety
in New York city. A presentation
that is the equal to, If not the supe-
rior of that of last season. Is promis-
ed. The cast includes George Ovey,
Louis Horner, Olive North, Will H.
Stowell, Earle s. Dewey, Nan Dodson,
Grace Pearse, S.. E. Lewis, Joseph
Leighton and Phil Fein. The cho-
rus is said to be second to none on
tour.

Young Man, Beware.

Young man, beware of the first
oath and the first vulgar utter
ance, the first cigarette, the first
glass of wine, the first glass of beer,
the first mingling with evil COM
panions. You may think you are
strong enough to indulge in these
and break away from them at your
will, but you never made greater
mistake in all your life. Each one
is like an octopus. They will grad
ually wind their arms around you
and death is the only thing strong
enough to tear you from their dead
ly embrace.

To See the Wind.

Seeing the wind is rare but easy
feat. The object wherewith It may
be seen Is common saw. On any
blowy day-the wind being, say, IN
the north-hold your saw with the
end pointing, one to the east, the
other to the west. Take the saw as
il you were going to cut the air
upward, and let the teeth, which are
on top, tilt over till the fiat part
of the saw is at an angle Of 46 de-
grees with the horizon. You will
then see the wind. Looking along
the teeth of the saw you will see
the wind pour over them as plainly
as you may see water pouring over

The trees have never been attack
ed by blight. Dr.. Summers says the
only enemy he has ever discovered
is the borer, q kind Of beetle which
cuts into the bark and will be easily
destroyed by injecting q kerosene
longed.
The propinquity of fruit orchard
has never caused annoyance to the
pecan trees. The San Joes scale is
resisted easily by the tough bark
of the pecan. And Dr.. Summers
thinks he has remedy for the scale
which is parasite causing the death
of fruit trees. Some years ago he
had trees badly infested with the
scale. Nearby he located his bee colo
ny. The trees which were dying are
now hardy and thriving and DR.. Sum-
mers says that he believes that the
bees have In some way destroyed the
scale. The only trees which have
died since the Introduction of the
bees are such as were too much i'm
poverished to recover.
Some years ago DR.. Summers re-
tired from the practice OF medicine
to devote his time to farming and
now it appears that he can retire
from active farming and watch his
pecan trees grow and keep on grow
ing. In addition to his prize-Winnlns
swine and cattle and poultry. In ad-
dition to his bees and his fruit or
chards and his pecans. he now has
a flowing we'll which has great
health-rcstoring qualities, and DR..
Summers In his coming years OF
contentment may live long beyond
the tabled allotment, unless politics
cause him to grow weary OF life. he
has always loved politics for the sake
of chase, but when he was sent TO
the State senate last year he learned
many things in one season which
have about given him a thorough
distaste for the wire pulling and
soft pedal work Of law-mak!nE'
bodies.

sUPT. PORTER PROMOTED.
Goes to lake Charge Of tn, Old Fay.
etteyille District,

The Florence Times says "the At
lantic Coast Line Is to re-establish
the old Fayetteville district, which,
along with other divisions Of the
system was discontinued in the tune
of the panic. Mr.. C. L. Porter Of
Florence, who is one of the most
capable and popular railroad men in
the service of the Coast Line is to
be put at the head Of it. Mr.. Por-
ter has been at the head of the Co
lumbia district and Is promoted to
the larger post because Of his eff
flciency, but his friends will find a
drop of bitterness in the promotion
because he will be moved from Flor
ence, where, since the cut down, he
has been train master. The road has
been operated as one district from
Richmond to Florence. It will now
be divided at Rocky Mount, the head
quarters OF the first division. Mr..
Porter will have offices in the pas
senger station at Rocky Mount and
with his clerks and employees, will
add materially to the Industrial life
of Rocky Mount, the pay roll Of the
Office being estimated at about ST.
600 a month" We congratulate our
friend Porter on his promotion. He
is fine fellow and deserves all the
good things that comes his way.
Some Of these days he will be at
the head of the Atlantic Coast Line
or some other big railroad system.

The announcement Of the death of
Mr.. Samuel T. Izlar at Savannah on
Wednesday night was a shock to
his relatives and friends in this city.
His death must have been sudden
as he was found dead in bed Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Izlar was ma
tive Of this county and lived near
Cope up to a few years ago, when
he removed to Savannah, Ga. He
held the position Of trial justice for
several years in this county. At the
time of his death he was seventy
four years of age. He is survived
by widow and several children.
including Mrs. A. G. Hart, Of this

l attended the fair at Walterbo-
TO and it was good one. AS Edi-
tor Smoak of The Press and Standard
was there in his glory, will leave
the many interesting things we saw
there for him to tell.
From Walterooroi went TO Cot
tageville and spent Sunday. While
there 1 attended church and heard
an elegant sermon preached by an
Orangeburg county boy, Reverend
Inabinet. 1t was one of the best
sermons I've heard in months. So
you see our old county is just turn
ing out material for all departments
that equal the best. We dined with
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Ackerman, and
Of course, came off with indigestion,
but find myself killing time near
Providence church, awaiting the hap
py event (tomorrow) of the marriage
Of Miss Laura Smoak to Mr.. George
Ackerman, two very popular young
people Of this section. I've just left
the church, got some of the we'd
ding crumbs for dinner. Will now
stop and take the future bride out
to service and get sorter steady for
the happening Of tomorrow, and If
I am not too badly used up by Mrs.
B. Easterling's good supper will try
and tell the rest after the feast.
And now the marriage is over. 1t
would make the article too long to
attempt to describe the decorations
of the church, the perfect and rich
ly dressed bride and the clock-like
order Of everything from start to-
finish. Rev. Inabinet tied the knot.
The church was densely packed. Af-
ter the ceremony a good number re-
tur- ed to the home OF the bride
to view the many and beautiful pres
ents and extend their many good
wishes to the happy couple. The
couple then left for their future
home in Cottageville. 1t was the
writer's good fortune to be on the
honor roll and he will not soon for
get it. I then spent the night at
the hospitable home Of Mr.. Ben
Easterling and started homeward
the next day. 1t was one of the
most pleasant trips Of my life. Was
soon told of the death of my below
ed niece, Miss Mamie Baldwin. Oh,
she will be missed as no one could
be in that section!

Runs Down Criminal and Brings
Him to Trial.

Sheriff Olin M. Dantzler, OF CAL
houn county. seems to be the right
man in the right place. He return
ed to st. Matthews Wednesday morn
ing from South Georgia, where he
had gone some days ago in search
for one Joe Scipio, who has been
badly wanted in Calhoun county
since last December for shooting his
wife. The sheriff was successful in
his quest and brought Scipio back
with him. The charge which he will
have to face is assault and battery
with intent to kill.
=. Some time during the month Of
December. 1908, Scipio and his wife
had a disagreement. and during the
exchange Of unpleasantries a pistol
was used to reduce the wife into q
state of subordination. One bullet
was sent into her anatomy and prov
ed almost fatal. Scipio, although
brave enough to face his spouse with
q pistol, was not brave enough to
face the law after having committed
the deed, and without waiting to
see IL his method OF correction met
with the approval OF his neighbors.
sped away to other lands"
Since that time he has been in
Florida passing under the name Of
Bill Walker, and then in Georgia
as George Williams. Sheriff Dantz-
Ter, who, by the way, was recently
remarked upon by a presiding judge
as one of the very best sheriffs In
the State, has been very diligent In
his search after Scipio. BY means
of system Of his own Of keeping
his eve on fugitives Scipio was re-
Gently located by the sheriff in Far
