POLE KILLS WORKMAN.
Southern Power Company Employe
Meets Death.

Greenville, Sept. 4.-Luther Fish
er, workman in the employ OF the
Southern Power Company, was
struck by falling pole and instantly
killed this afternoon in an accident
which occurred about two miles from
Greer. R. S. Higgins, fellow
workman, had his collarbone broken
in the same accident. Fisher Is
from Sanford, N C. Both the men
are white and neither is married.
Coroner Turner went from Spartan
burg to Greer late tonight to make
an investigation.
The men were erecting tower to
be used in the construction Of the
lines of the Southern Power Com
pany. In setting the tower some
ropes broke and pole fell, striking
Fisher on the back of the head and
neck. He died instantly. The ac-
cident was not due to any electrical
display, as it is understood that the
current has not yet been turned on,
but simply to the breaking of a rope.
How Higgins was injured is not
clearly understood, but it is believed
that he was struck by block pulley
when the pole fell. His injuries are
not serious and it is said he will
quickly recover.

Takes Wet Goods the Gods Provide.

Charleston, Sept. 3.-The practice
among the blind tiger element OF
Charleston of using the names of
we'll known citizens for the purpose
of getting liquor and beer passed
into the city by the police guards
may lessen when the scheme OF a
gentleman here becomes generally
known.
He arrived home recently to be
told by his better half that a barrel
of export beer had been delivered to
him. The gentleman had ordered no
beer, but he was surprised to see
barrel of export addressed to him
self very plainly and standing boldly
on his back porch.
He got wise" and calmly opened
the barrel and extracted a dozen
"buds" for icing. The next day a
driver came to the house and called
for the beer, saying the stuff had
been delivered "by mistake" The
bluff did not work and the citizen
asked for the man who had sent 1t
to him by mistake, but the person
never appeared.
The beer is almost gone now. This
custom of getting liquor in other
peoples names and then having it
delivered by mistake" may be
broken up by the scheme of keeping
the gratuitous beverage.

People of North America Thousands
Years Ago.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. a.
The United States revenue cutter
Tahoma, which reached Puget Sound
today after steaming around the
world from Baltimore, brought word
that party of enthnologists, head
ed by DR.. Waldemer Yochelson, a
noted Russian explorer, encountered
at the island of Attu, in the Aleutian
Archipelago, had discovered relics
and skeletons that would establish
the record of population of north
western North America during pre-
historic ages.
In a statement to Capt. Queenman,
of the Tahoma, DR.. Yochelson told
differences from the present civili-
zation on the island which the relics
uncovered that would establish be-
lief that thousands of years ago the
highest type of humanity in the new
world existed in the north. The
search of the Yochelson party is d.
rected by the Royal Russian Geogra-
phical society and will be continued
several years before formal report
is made in Petersburg.

The Guilty Parrot.

Mrs. Carry Chapman Gait, the we'll

she gives due credit to the noble
being, man, does not, on the other
hand, overestimate the lords Of Gre
alton. She was speaking recently of
another prominent woman who is
somewhat lukewarm in the suffrage
cause.
"The trouble with Mrs. Blank. -
said Mrs. Gait, 'is that she fairly
worships her husband. She thinks
that he is absolutely perfect. Why,
the woman actually believes that tie
parrot taught him to swear. ."-Wo-

Keep near to your children. Do
not let them grow away from you.
Keep them close in your confidence
and affection, so they will confide in
and not be afraid of you. We know
a lad who takes pleasure in giving
his mother an account of his doings
during the day, whether they are
pleasant or otherwise. She laughs
with him when they are funny, and
gently chides where he is wrong, but
in way that does not make him
afraid of her. He will not relate
single instance to his father, be-
cause before the story is half
through he will begin to scold him
for doing so and so. 1t is plainly
seen which can have most influence
with him.

Does it Pay.

The boy who is turning the grind
stone to sharpen the ak, never con-
vinces his aching back that it pays
to spend so much on that narrow
edge of steel. But the man who
swings the ak all day never has a
doubt. The boys momentary pains
are not wasted, because they save
the man from hours of backache.
Those who bear the burden OF
church activities sometimes feel like
asking, "Does it all pay? Is it worth
while to strain so to keep up a
church in this community?" Yes,
the harder it is, the better it pays.
No labor is 80 likely to be thrown
away as that which costs us little.
No one gets so little return out OF
church as those who put little into
it.

The Musical Dominicans.

From Lesie's Weekly.
 The people of the Dominican republic writes Consul R. J. Totten of Puerto Plata, are very found of music. The larger towns of the republic have munic- ipal bands which play in the central plazas. Most of the men, of all stages of life, are good performers on the mando- lin and guitar, while in the homes of the well-to-do you will find pianos and graph ophones. There is only one regular music store, carrying stock of instruments and sheet music in the country. This store is in the city of Santo Domingo; there fore the northern part of the island must order these lines from commission mer- chants and, owing to the fact that Amer ican manufacturers have more or less neglected this market, most of the or- ders are placed in Europe. Guitars, ban jos, mandolins, pianos, and graphophones are in much demand, and an American agency on the island would do a thriving business.

 Description of Tabeaux vivante.
 The great success of the Tableaux vivants given by the society women of New York has been matter of interest to those who will participate in the en- tertainment Tuesday evening. Those of New York, conducted by Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt, were miscellaneous In subject and lacked altogether the deeply religious and historical thought that Is so marked @ characteristic of the tableaux of the great religions of the world. It will be well, perhaps, for the benefit of the many who expect to attend this entertainment to give brief summary of each tableau and its historical Interpretation.
 From an educational standpoint, these tableaux on "The Great Religions of the World" will be far above the average. The short lectures which precede each tableau give in most concise and able manner the principal philosophic truths of the religions represented and alone would be worth while attending. The fact that Mrs. w. s. Lovell whose literary and artistic ability is so well known Is to deliver these lectures will confirm this fact. Mrs. Lowell ranks prominently among the artists of the city. Some years ago she planned and carried out on a small scale this entertainment as a club invitation affair. Such was it's success that many have requested its repetition, and Mrs. Lowell has arranged that the public may enjoy 1t and the proceeds be used philanthropically.
 The costumes alone are worth consider ing. Each one Is historically correct, and to those interested in foreign peoples this will be rare treat. No expense has been spared by the society women in carrying out Mrs. Lovell's designs in regard to cos- tunes.
 The music has been in course of prepa- ration for some months by the best talent in the city, and with full orchestral effect will in itself be a grand concert. The overture from "Parsifal' and the Wag- merriam music in the scene of the valkyria are unusually fine. Music will precede and continue through each tableau.
 Assisting Mrs. Lowell in the preparation of posters, scenery and posing are such artists as Miss Alice Rumph. Miss Della Dryer, and Miss Hannah Elliott, whose names are assurances Of the succaas of

The recep- ton to the visiting physicians Tuesday evening at the Iillman Hotel was one of the conspicuously charming events of the season, and smart dinners by local mem bers of the profession to distinguished vis- itors took place every day.
