Life Of Negro.

Lynchburg, Dec. 29.-The Gun

a shooting match near this place 81
last Saturday afternoon and h6rri-
BILE accident was the result.
The uncontradicted statement by
all present is that Anderson Ken
nedy, colored, playfully picked up
gun and while tampering with it the
gun discharged, blowing off a part OF
his brother, Harrison Kennedy's,
head. Death was instantaneous. An
derson Kennedy fell to the ground as
soon as, he realized the effects of his
carelessness, the shock was SO terri
Bile. It was so apparent that the
killing was an accident that the Off
Ger decided an inquest wholly u1-
necessary.

Not Cured by a Great Deal.

A doctor came up to a patient in
an insane asylum, slapped him on the
back, and said: "Well, old man,
you're all right. You can run along
and write your folks that you'll be
back home in two weeks as good as
new"
The patient went off gladly to
write his letter, says Everybody's. He
had it finished and sealed, but when
he was licking the stamp 1t slipped
through his fingers to the floor,
lighted on the back of a cockroach
that was passing, and stuck. The pa
tient hadn't seen the cockroach-
what he did see was his escaped post
age stamp zigzagging aimlessly
across the floor to the Dashboard, wa
vering lp over the Dashboard and fol-
lowing a crooked track up the wall
and across the ceiling. In depressed
silence he tore up the letter that he
had just written and dropped the
pieces on the floor.

I won't be out of here in three
years"

Rosson, one of the jurors engaged in
the, trials of the eight alleged night
riders; charged with the murder of
Capt. Quentin Rankin, was suddenly
taken ill this afternoon and, unless
he is very much improved by morn
ing, the trials will have to be post
poned until his recovery. County
Health Officer NJ. A. Blanton was
called and he believes that Rosson is
developing measles. A postpone
ment at this time would be most un-
fortunate, as it was expected that-the
|rebuttal will be completed tomorrow
morning and that the argument will
begin in the afternoon. -
The State has one more trump
card to play before they finally. rest.
Joe Hogg, father of Hirshel Hogg,
confessed night rider, one of the
States witnesses, testified that his
son has sworn falsely; that he was at
home on the night of the murder and
did not leave until the next morning,
Tuesday, when he took: load of cot
ton to Troy. The State will Introduce

THlman Sounds Warning.

Columbia, Jan. 1.-Senator B. R.
Tillman, in delivering an address be-
fore the State Teachers Association
here tonight, took occasion to warn
the people against agitation for COM
pulsory education, asserting that
should such a law be passed 1t would
mean the education of the negro,
which, in the end would mean blow
to white supremacy.
Senator Tillman urged the Demo
Gratis of the South against the scheme
which he said President-elect Taft
and his associates are Matching up
to break the solid South. He said 1t
Is the purpose of the president-elect
to hand out federal Offices to Demo
Gratis of the South in order to build
up a white Republican party in this
section.

A MoTHRR's GRATITUDE
Many a Mother in Bamberg Will Ap.
preciate the Following.

Many a strong man and many a
healthy woman has much for which
to thank mother. The care taken
during their childhood brought them
past the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Children
are generally bothered at some Pc
riod with incontinence of urine, and
inability to retain it Is ofttimes called
habit. It is not the children's fault
the difficulty lies with the kidneys,
and can be readily rlghted If taken in
the proper way. A Bamberg mother
shows you how.
Mrs. L. B. Fowler, Elm street,
Bamberg, S. c., says: Several years
ago my daughter had a spell Of the
fever and after that her kidneys were
in a weakened condition. She COM
planned great deal Of backache and
had little control over the action OF
the kidney secretions. My husband
had used Doan's Kidney Pills several
years previous for similar troubles
with the best Of results, and deciding
to try. them in the girls case, sent
to the Peoples drug store for q box:
After a few doses she did not COM
plain any more Of backache and. the
annoyance from the kidneys was also
stopped. I will never fail. to recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills when I
have the opportunity" #

His Hairpins.

In the lobby of Washington hotel
the following story was told about
Admiral Evans's caustic wit. 1t was
said to have happened on the occa-
sion of his visit to the capital.
AS the admiral was leaving an en-
tertainment in which the younger set
predominated he chanced to pick up
from the floor a very dainty handker-
chief. He was gravely inspecting
this ''tride light as air. when a
rather effeminate-looking young man
hastened forward to claim it.
"Your sisters, no doubt?" said the
admiral, as he handed it over.
ooh, no." said the young man,
"It's mine"
Fighting Bob looked the young
man over. Then he asked, would
you mind telling me what size hair
pins you use?"-Judge.

STEAMER ON FIRE.
Texas, Her Cargo Burning, Seeks Aid
in Port.

Savannah, Ca, Jan. with the
fire eating through her cargo of pa
per and carbides, the new freight and
passenger steamer Texas, Capt. Ped
erson, bound from Christiana, Nor
way, to Havana, Cuba, put into the
Savannah river this morning, and
throughout the day chemical engines
from the Savannah fire department
and fire fighting tugs fought TO save
the vessel from total loss.
The fire was discovered yesterday
afternoon when the Texas was 100
miles off rybee light. Capt. Peder-
son at once changed his course for
the Savannah river with the matches
down and steam pouring into. the aft
erhold, where the blaze was fercest.
The vessels mate was brought from
quarantine on a United tates tug,
and. took back with him to the steam
er, that had come Is miles up the
river, the chemical engines of the To-
cal fire department, loaded on light
ers. When the fire was uncovered
further assistance was called for and
three tugs, equipped with freight
ing apparatus, went to the steamer.
After eight hours of struggling the
fire was apparently as dangerous as
at first. At intervals f1remen, over
come by the fumes from the carbides,
were carried out of the hold uncon-
scious, while frequent explosions Of
carboys filled with carbides endan-
gered the lives of those who re-
mained.
The Texas carried IA f1rst-class
passengers, including five women and
three children, who were transferred
to the United States harbor cutter
Tybee and brought to Savannah. The
Texas is Of $500. tons burden and is
on her maiden voyage. She was built
in Bergen, Norway, and is owned by
the Norway and Mexican Gulf Steam
ship Company. J:
The passengers were informed of
the fire soon after it's discovery, but
there was 70 panic, though the pas
sengers could see the smoke escaping
from the hold.
It is stated that the fire can not
be got under control for many hours,
if at all. Tie loss up to o'clock to-
night was estimated at $4,000.

Fewer cases In Court.

Asheville, N. c., Jan. 2.-During
the first year of prohibition in Ashe-
vile the records indicate that there
were 1S per cent. fewer cases tried
in the police court during 1908 than
during the year 1907.
During the past year 1852 cases
were tried in the police court, as
against 3,S47 cases in 1907.
The year 1907 was notable for the
great increase in number of arrests
as compared with previous years,
and the year 1908 ranks second in
number of arrests made.
The prohibitionists expressed
themselves as pleased at the decrease
in the number of arrests since pro-
hibition became effective the first OF
last January.
