took his post at the other. The serv-
ants came along behind in the second
cart. Far ahead, like hounds In full
cry, toiled the unwilling luggage bear
ers. From the windows and doorways
Of every house, from the bazaars and
cafes, from the side streets and
mosque approaches, the gaze Of the
sullen populace fastened itself upon
the little procession. The town seemed
ominouSly silent.
At last they came to the end Of the
sunlit street and plunged into the
shady road that assembled the slope
through what seemed to be an abso-
lutely unbroken though gorgeous jun
gle. The cool green depths looked most
alluring to the sun baked travellers.
They could almost imagine that they
heard the dripping Of fountains, the
gurgling of rivulets, so like paradise
was the prospect ahead. Lady Agnes
could not restrain her cries Of delight
ed Amusement.
"Its like this all over the island,
your ladyship." volunteered Mr..
Bowles, hopping his brow in most
unmilitary way, Except at the mines
and back there in the town."

"The company's biggest mines are
seven or eight miles eastward as the

THE CHATEAU.

|1HE road to the chateau took its
devious way through the little
town out into the green foot
hill beyond. Two numbering
wooden wheeled carts, none too clean,
each drawn by four perspiring men,
served as conveyances by which the
arrivals were to make the journey to
their new home.
Lady Deppingham's pert little nose
lifted itself in disgust as she was jog
gled through the town behind the
grunting substitutes for horsetlesh.
She sat beside her husband in the
foremost cart. Mr.. Bowles, very tired,
but quite respondent, walked dutiful-

Agnes, sitting down suddenly upon the
edge of fountain.
"You see. my lady, they take the po-

volunteered Bowles They've got the

To Register Lies.

One of the latest electrical devices
is designed to register emotions, and
incidentally to tell when man Is
lying. The idea is that the instru-
ment is placed in contact with the
pulsation of the heart, say Of wit
ness on the stand, and when the wit
ness tells an unusually big lie, the
emotion or fear Of detection exciting
the pulsation register in large dis
turbed lines on the instrument. If
this is not a correct statement of the
working of the instrument, some one
else may give better one.
It is said that the instrument Is
not yet perfect. We hope it may
never be, and furthermore if it
should be, that no agency be estab-
lished in this town.
1t is not that we lie without oc-
casion and out of malice, but we
would not be deprived of the con-
stitutional privilege. 1t would be
manifestly unfair to expose the con-
science to public gaze. We are like
the old lady who visited sleight of
hand performance and insisted on
leaving because as she said: cher
calico wasn't no protection agin that
mans eyes,"

ATTEMPT TO KILL NEGRO.
John Hill Seriously Wounded in Hig-
gins Ferry Section.

Saluda, April 21.-News has been
received here of an attempt at as
sassination of negro, John Hill,
who lives on Mr.. W. E. Longs place
in the Higgins Ferry section OF the
county. The negro is badly and
perhaps fatally shot. About 8
o'clock Tuesday night young Claude
Long heard a gunshot, but no espe-
cial attention was paid to it. It de-
veloped this morning that it was this
shot that wounded the negro, John
Hill, who lived in small house on
the place by himself and that all
night long he had suffered and lost
blood on the floor Of his home and
that no one heard his cries for help.
He is shot in the head. All that he
recalls of the incident is that some
one called to him to open the door.
AS he did 80 he says he was dubbed.
An examination of the wounds shows
that he is mistaken in this as the
only wounds are those Of gunshot.
The theory is that when he opened
the door the party from the outside
fred upon him.
There is a party suspected, but
no arrest has been made.

RABY BREAKS ITS OWN NECK.
Infant of Graniteville Parents Meets
Fearful Death.

Aiken, April 25.-Information has
reached this city of the narrowing
death of an infant in Graniteville
last night, when the little, 6-months'-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce
Howard had the misfortune to have
its neck broken. Last night, in the
early part of the evening, while MT.
Howard was in Aiken, Mrs. Howard
placed her baby on bed to sleep.
The bed was an iron one, with per-
pendicular rods at the head and foot.
Mrs. Howard stepped out of the
house for two or three minutes, and
during her absence, in some way the
little child got it's head between the
perpendicular rods, and when Mrs.
Howard returned to the house she
found her baby with its body dang
ling from the bed, and its head fast
ened between the rods. It survived
q few minutes after she rescued it
from its position, but it's neck had
been broken in its attempts to free
its head from the bed. Mrs. Howard
was almost prostrated with grief.
Mr.. Howard arrived few minutes
later from Aiken. Mr.. Howard is a
brother Of Chief Henry Howard, OF
the Aiken police force.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 25.-Sim
Sexton, q merchant at Huntsville,
Tenn, was killed at that place on
Saturday night, although nothing
was known of the tragedy until Sun
day morning.
His dead body was found on a
business street. When killed he was
on his way home from his store.
Shortly after he had stepped out into
the street shots were fired, trouble
having arisen between several young
men from Helenwood, neighboring
town, and a party of young Hunts
vile men.
Sexton was seen to start on a run
when the shooting began, and it was
not known that he had been struck.
Buster Reed, of Helenwood, aged 1S,
was arrested to-day, charged with the
shooting.
It is said that Reed was shooting
at Caldwell Phillips, when Sexton
was killed. The deceased is man
of family and a son of County Trus-

Unknown Negro Killed.

Florence, April 24.-Train No. 70,
running between Fayetteville and
Florence, killed an unknown negro
this morning just beyond the trans
fer station of the Atlantic Coast Line.
It seems that the negro was asleep
on the track with his head across one
of the rails when the engine struck
him. In the absence of the coroner,
Magistrate c. S. McClenagahan held
the inquest, and after viewing the
body the jury returned verdict that
deceased came to his death from his
own carelessness.

Lanier Wayne, of Hardeeville, S. c.,
son-in-law of Capt. W. W. Starr, of
Savannah, and well known here, was
drowned in Isle of Hope river, near

A young boy who was with him swan
to the marshes and was saved. Mrs.
Wayne, his wife of less than two
years, was waiting for her husband
on the river bank and the announce
ment that he would not come back
caused her almost complete collapse.
