Accident Near Limestone.

Gaffney, May 8.-An accident oc-
Cured last night on the dummy line
between Gaffney and Limestone Col
lege. Quite large crowd of towns
people had been. to the college to an
entertainment and just before the
cars reached the stopping place in
town young George Stevenson fell be-
tween the engine and cars and was
run over by the engine. The engine
was pushing the two cars when the
accident occurred. The injured man
was taken to the Limestone santa
rum, where he was given attention
by Drs. Nesbitt and Sherard. In ad-
dition to various decorations over his
entire body, his right ankle was
broken and this injury may result in
his right foot being amputated. The
physicians were forced to use large
number Of stitches in sewing up the
wounds of the young man. Mr.. Stew
enson has been employed for several
months in the store of Carroll &;
Byars and was a very capable clerk.
His parents live in Gaffney, his faith
or conducting a store on Frederick
street. His physicians say that he is
doing as well as they could hope for
under the circumstances. From the
statements Of those who witnessed
the accident, the crew of the train
we're in no wise to blame, as the cas-
ualty was the result of the young
mans own carelessness.

A Moonshine Joshua.

Lawyers were telling yesterday
about an old ante-bellum negro In
the mountains of North Carolina
who was recently arraigned in the
Federal court on the charge Of sell
ing. liquor without license. His
name was Joshua, and an old neigh
Dor and former friend of his gave the
information upon which he was ar
rested. When the prisoner was put
upon the stand the district attorney
asked him If he was the same Joshua
spoken of in the Bible as having
commanded the sun to stand still.
mo, SIR" was the quick and humor-
GUS reply, II is de Joshua what made
de moon shine
The lawyer thought this was a
very bright reply, SO when Daniels
turn came to testify he decided to see
if he had humorous side to his ma
ture. To his great amusement as
well as his surprise, Daniel measured
up pretty well with Joshua.
your name is Daniel, I believe, -
the attorney began:
Eyes, SIR" was the reply.
The same Daniel I suppose who
was cast into the lions den?"
''No, SIR" answered the old darkey
with a broad grin; Il is de Danl
what cotch de blind tiger"
The attorney did not press the
case very strongly, and Joshua got off
with light fne.-Richmond Times.

DISCHARGED for Unbeief.

Greenvi1le, May 6.-The city police
commission has been engaged for
several. days on q very knotty prob
lem, and the story that grows out OF
the several sessions held this week is
of more than local interest.
Some weeks ago an officer on the
police force reported at headquarters
soon after his release at midnight
while on his way home that he had
been fired on by highwayman. The
story he told at headquarters was
sensational in many respects and To-
cal correspondents for out-of-town
papers played the story up for all 1t
was worth. Brother officers of the
roundsman, who claimed the ex-
perience with the highwayman, went
to the scene of the alleged encounter
and there saw the holes in the house
made by the balls said to have been
intended for the blue coat, and later,
on charges that the roundsman' 8
story was a fabrication, the members
of the police commission took the
matter up for investigation, and after
examining the roundsman who said
he had been held up and taking testi-
mony from an officer who, it is said,
declared he didn't believe the story,
asked for the resignation of the man
who did not credit the truth of the
episode.

Made Resigning Easy.

When Delegate Mark Smith, of
Arizona, was a boy he lived on big
plantation in Kentucky. 1t was in
slave days and one Of his fathers
slaves was Uncle Ike, who was the
preacher for the place.
Smiths father had built small
church on a corner of the plantation
and Uncle Ike held forth there every
Sunday. This was pleasing to Ike,
because it not only gave him a chance
to exhort the negroes, but it absolved
him from any of the chores on Sun
day.
One Sunday Mark went out by the
barn and found Uncle Ike sitting dis
consolately under tree.
Look here, Ike" said Mark, "why
amt you down there preaching to-
day."
well, Mars Mark" Ike replied,
II amt goin' to preach to dem mig
gahs no more. They's always fight
in 'mongst theyselves an I'm sick
an tired an done quit preachin'."
"Stop your lying, Ike" said Mark.
You wouldn't quit such soft snap
as that. What's the matter?"
well, Mars Mark" Ike replied,
"ef you mus know, dem triflin' mig
&ahs done sent me my resignashun." "

!. WILD WITH GUN.
Merchant Kills Insurance Man and
Wounds Clerk.

Huntsville, Ala, May u. Rob-
ert Jones, a member of the lnsur-
ance firm of Jones & Rison, was shot
and instantly killed this afternoon
by William L. Halsey, president OF
the Halsey Wholesale Grocery Com
pany. A. D. Mcdowell, shipping
clerk for the Halsey establishment,
was fatally shot and is expected to
die at any time. Halsey is in jail
and has gone insane.
The shooting occurred in the Hal
sey store, where Jones had gone to
adjust some matters relative to in
surance. No quarrel ensued, so far
as is known, and the shooting was
unexpected to those in the Office at
the time. William L. Halsey, son OF
the slayer, was in the Office and was
the only witness save Mcdowell.
When Jones was shot Mcdowell
telephoned for a doctor and then
perceiving that Halsey had gone in
sane, attempted to leave the Office.
He was shot in the back and the
bullet passed through his body. Hal
sey had been under treatment for in
cipient insanity for some time and
his affairs had been managed by his
son.
Jones and Halsey were school boys
together and had been lifelong
friends and business associates. Nc
Dowell had been employed by Hasley
several years and was quite favor
ito with his employer.

Little Girl Run Over and Killed.

Greer, S. c., May GA deplor-
able accident occurred here about 5
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when
driver of the firm of Wood &
Wood ran over and killed Eugenia,
the two-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Gilreath. 1t seems that
the child was playing in the street in
front of it's home on Victor avenue
and when the wagon stopped to de-
liver some goods at next-door
neighbor's door the child wandered
to the wagon, between the wheels.
When the deliveryman returned to
the wagon he got in from the oppo-
site side on which the child was, and
started off.
It was a purely accidental occur
renee and the entire community is
deeply bereaved.. Much sympathy is
felt for the young driver and the
parents of the child, who are very
prominent people here.

Smith for Free Lumber.

Columbia, S. c., May S.-Senator
e. D. Smith has changed his mind
about voting for duty on lumber, 80
the; South Carolina delegation in the
senate will be solid for free lumber,
Senator Tillman having already ex-
pressed his views. Senator Smith
says he is convinced after studying
the Democratic platform more care
fully that it is mandatory upon him
to vote for free lumber.
As far as the preservation Of the
forests around the headquarters OF
the streams is concerned, Senator
Smith is convinced that removal OF
the duty on quebracco, kind of Juice
used in tanning, would be more ef-
tective than free lumber, at least for
the protection of Southern water
sheds. The standard tanning juice
comes from the bark of the chestnut
trees, and it is the barking Of these
trees that tends chiefly to denude the
forests.

Brutally Beaten in Home.

Butler, Ca, May 9.-Set upon by
marauder in his home at an early
hour this morning, Charlie Virgins,
a prominent citizen, was brutally as
saulted and lies dying tonight.
Virgins had just returned to his
home from the railroad station and
entered his room, when from out the
darkness a shot rang out, tearing a
lamp from his hand and severing a
finger.
The intruder then sprang upon
Virgins, after he had fired three 9th
er shots, which went wild in the
darkness, beating the mans head in
to a pulp with the butt OF revolver.
Virgins, in lapses Of conscious
ness, to-day states that his as5ailant
was young, heavily built white man.
The city has offered reward for the
assailant of Mr.. Williams.

HIS CHICKS ARE BRUNKARDS.
New Jersey Farmer Discovers a
Barnyard blind Tiger"

Jacob Foos, a farmer of this place,
is seeking a gold cure for his chick
ems. Thirty Plymouth Rocks in his
BARNARD have become inebriates and
Foos feels it is his duty to reform
them.
A week ago Foos placed an old
whiskey barrel with an end knocked
out in an open space near the hen
house as a shelter for hen with a
brood of little chicks that had been
Matched out early. When the sun
became hot the hen retired to the
barrel with her brood. After a few
days Foos observed that every chick
en- in his barnyard seemed to be in a
half stupor-even the young chicks.
The roosters went about the yard
Growing in a hiccoughy way, and the
hens clucked in hoarse, cultural
tones.
Foos was puzzled and he called in
w. f. Merrill, a veterinarian, who in
specting the coops found nothing
wrong. Then he examined the bar
rel. One sniff at the air of the in
terror enlightened him.
The chickens are drunk" Merrill
said. Then he explained to Foos that
the whiskey barrel, which had been
in a damp cellar all winter, had been
affected by the sun, which brought
the alcohol out of the wood. The hen
that picked at the wood first must
have communicated the secret to the
other fowls, and all became visitors to
the barnyard "speakeasy."
Foos thought an easy solution OF
the difficulty would be to burn the
whiskey barrel This he did, but the
craving for drink had become too
strong in the chickens. An old roos-
ter, with the instinct Of a confirmed
topper, found his way to an improvised
silo where Foos kept supply of malt
which he buys from brewery to feed
his cattle. This proved a substitute
for the whiskey barrel, and soon all
the chickens were clustered about the
silo, devouring the malt. Foos has
shut the chickens off from their new
form of dissipation, but fears that
unless he breaks them Of the habit
they will wander off the farm in
quest of strong drink.-New York

School Row in Lexington.

Lexington, May Al. P. Bouk-
night, chairman of the board OF trus-
tees of school district No. SO, OF the
Dutch Fork, was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Miller Friday on a warrant
sworn out by Mrs. J. E: McFadden, a
teacher in the district, charging him
with violating section 41S of the
statutes of South Carolina. Bouk-
night appeared before Magistrate
Thos. l.. Harman and was promptly
released upon a bond for his appear
ance at the. next term of general ses-
sions court.
It is said that Mrs. McFadden had
been engaged to teach the school for
a certain period and that the trustees
discontinued the school before the ex-
piration of the allotted time, They
locked the door and ordered the
school closed, but the teacher was
not satisfied, it is said, and continued
to teach some of the pupils. One side
afirms that she broke open the school
house and the other asserts that she
taught on the steps on the outside
for several days. At any rate there
was much dissatisfaction, and Mrs.
McFadden caused the arrest of the
chairman of the board of trustees.
Carl Summers and Jim Suber, two
young negroes, were arrested on Sat-
urday upon the charge of stealing
whiskey from a car at the depot.
They were tried before Magistrate
Thos. L. Harman yesterday morning
and sentenced to pay fine of SIS or
serve 80 days on the gang. They
paid the fine.

Indian George to be Released.

Gaffney, May 9.-Indian George,
or George Deerhorn, who has been
confined in the Cherokee county jail
since the bear stealing episode, will
doubtless be released from custody
in few days. Solicitor Otis has con-
sented to his being released upon his
depositing 500 for his appearance
at the June term Of the court of gen.
eral sessions. His wife, who has
been in Gaffney since his incarcera-
ton, raised the money, and as soon
as the order for bail arrives he will
be released.

Sailing an Airship.

Undoubtedly all aeronauts count
the first ascension as one Of the most
dramatic incidents in their lives,
says Roy Knabenshue in The De-
lineator for May. No one who has
ever gone into the sky forgets the In
cidents of his first aerial trip, for
the anticipation is so keen and It Is
filed with 50 many surprises that the
impressions are indelible. can re-
call with great clearness my first bal
loon ascension, which I made from
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
grounds in 1904. This first flight
was more or less revolutionary. In
sense it was pioneer work and fol-
lowed much public discussion and an
ticipation aroused by the interest
taken at the time in aeronauItics by
the management Of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. This was the
first general attention given to the
possibilities Of aerial navigation, and
it was occasioned by an offer made
by the exposition management in
1903 of two hundred thousand dol
lars in prizes for successful fights.
Prior to that time even suggestion
of aeronautics had brought only ridi-
cu1e from all quarters.
1t is well enough for young man
to dream of flying through the air
steering a mechanically operated air.
ship, but when the time arrives for
that ship to be launched the young
man is very likely to have some mis-
givings. l had had considerable ball
looming experience prior to my COM
ing to the fair, and was well aware
that there was danger of igniting the
gas from the balloon by the exhaust
of the gas engine propelling the ship.
I realized also that as the ship as
cended to any considerable altitude
there was some danger of the balloon
bursting from internal pressure
caused by expansion of the gas
through the rapid change, and I i'm
agined what my plight would be
should such an accident occur or the
gas become ignited from the ex-
haust.
Specializing upon all the dangers, I
kept looking over the crowd that had
quickly gathered, and a strange feel
ing OF loneliness came over me-a
feeling that I was alone and separ-
ated from the world.
From the instant I felt the ship
leave the ground the feeling Of lone
liness vanished entirely, for I was
kept constantly occupied in steering
and endeavoring to- keep the ship
upon an even keel. As I saw her
headed back to the aeronautic field I
experienced a sensation of relief, for
I realized that in the three minutes I
had been in the air 1 had learned to
steer and had the ship well under
control.

STORE AT SPRINGFIELD ROBBED.
Burglars then Stole Horse and Buggy
to Aid in Flight.

Springfield, May 8.-Last night a
daring robbery was committed here.
The store of Mr.. A. R. Mobley was
entered through the front glass win
dow and the contents of the store
riddled. At present it is not known
what Mr.. Mobley's loss is, but his
shoe and clothing stock is heaped in
confusion on the floor.
Then Mr.. D. E. Bean found out
upon going to his lot this morning
that all of his mules were out, and
upon investigation found 2that his
horse and buggy were missing. He
located the mules, but has failed to
find the horse and buggy. 1t is gen.
orally believed that those who COM
mitted the robbery escaped in the
missing buggy.
Telephone messages have been sent
all over the surrounding country and
bloodhounds have been sent for.
