USED LIVER FOR BAIT.
Gillsburg Angler Backed Up Story
with Proof.

An unusual trout story was
brought here yesterday by Bill Boyd'
who has been spending several days
fishing in Spruce Run, says "Glils-
bury" dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American. At first his tale was
received with doubt, but when Mr..
Boyd exhibited twenty-eight fish, all
of them more than fifteen inches In
length, he received respectful hear
ing.
II learned from trustworthy au-
thority." said Mr.. Boyd, THAT a num-
ber of fine trout had been placed in
the run about four years ago. Al
though the stream had been f1shed re-
peatedly and by experts, few of these
trout, which were OF the California
variety, had been caught. Indeed, IT
was feared by some that the fish had
all died.
I'm walking along the run caught
sight of many big fish, but could not
catch them. They refused to rise to
the ordinary flies, and they would
have nothing to do with worms.
"Along about noon built a fire on
the bank of the stream, and, getting
out my saucepan, 1 proceeded to fry
some liver and bacon. A commotlOn
in the water attracted my attention. l
looked down and saw the run alive
with the finest trout / ever beheld.
Then I understood. Those trout had
been raised on liver, and they recog-
nized the odor. used my fried liver
for bait-and here is the result.

NEWS OF THE CONTEST.
THE GIRLS OF BAMBERG COUNTY
IN A WONDERFUL RACE.
Information as to the Progress of the
Contest and a Big Offer for
this Week.

The Herald's great popularity con-
test opened last week with entries
from all parts of the county and more
to follow, and the success of The
Herald's undertaking is assured.
This week, and this weeek only,
in order to inspire and encourage our
contestants we have decided to offer
double votes for all subscriptions
that are turned into The Herald Office
before Saturday night. For instance,
a new yearly subscription will count
1000 votes instead of 1000, and a
five year subscription will count 90
900 votes instead of 10000. The
same offer applies to renewals also.
You can easily realize what this Of
fer means and if you have promised
your subscription to any young lady
now is the time to give it to her, as
this is positively the largest offer we
will make during the progress of the
contest.
We have decided to commence the
publication of votes in our next is
sue owing to the fact that several en-
tries came into our Office yesterday
and these young ladies have just
started. We will publish the votes
each week commencing with next
weeks issue.
Now then, girls, remember, every
single subscription secured this week
means that you derive an advantage
not to be secured later in the con-
test, and if fellow tells you he will
give you his subscription later on
just show him that by giving it tc
you right now it will amount to as
much as if he gave you two subscrip'
tions later.
This is the week to pile up the
votes, get in the lead and stay there

SEMINOLE CASE.
Founder Darlington Files Claim for
$4,000 for Sale of Stock.

Columbia, May 15.-John Y. Gar
lington, originator, founder, promoter
and late president of the Seminole
Securities Company, has filed claim
against the company for $4,000 for
the sale of stock while he was con-
nected with the company "for amount
due me from the sale of my stock as
appears from the report of Charles H.
Highly, auditor, appointed by the
stockholders of the Seminole Securi-
ties Company, in December, 19O9.,
Some time ago the receivers of the
company brought action to recover
about this sum from real estate own
ed by Mr.. Darlington in Laurens coun-
ty.
The filing of this claim by Mr.. Gar
lington will likely have the effect of
long delaying the 20 per cent. pay
ment on stock to certificate holders,
which it has been the intention of the
receivers to pay within q few weeks
after the expiration of the time for
claimants to file claims with A. D.
McFaddin, the referee appointed by a
recent court order in the case. How
ever, more definite information along
this line will be available when the
receivers meet here on May 20. The
time for fling claims expired to-day.
Mr.. McFaddin said to-day that a
large portion of the claims so far filed
are coming from North Carolina and
Georgia, though there are number
also from practically every Southern
State. The largest claimant so far Is
Mr.. Lybrand, of Wagner, who files a
certificate for 4,500 shares. From the
little town of Rowland, in North Car
olina, fifteen separate claims have so
far been filed, ranging in amounts
from 500 to $500.
Some claimants are disposed to
show their temper about the Seminole
deal, but most of them appear to take
the matter good-naturedly, blaming
themselves for being so easily taken
in. A Richmond man came in and
gave himself good, earnest cussing,
ending up by saying. "If you want
to see correct imitation of simple,
easy sucker, the which 1 never
thought was one Of whom, just gaze
on me and break out crying"
In sending in his certificate South
Carolina stockholder enclosed one Of
the pretty little folders the company
got out to show how many hundreds
and thousands of per cent. of profit
insurance companies are making out
of the South, and endorsed it thus:
"Ain't it aWful?' .

IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading-Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.

Barnwell county is to build new
Jail, $4,000 having been borrowed
from the sinking fund commission
for this purpose.
Mr.. John w. Hammond, who has
been editor and manager of the Col
Teton News since it was established
last year, has accepted a position
with the Charleston News and Cou-
rier, and has given up the editorship
of the News. His brother, Mr.. E. F.
Hammond, is now editor and pub
Usher.
The Edgefeld News suspended
publication with its issue of last
week. Mr.. Calhoun got out good
paper, but, as we said when the pa
per was started, Edgefeld had two
good newspapers, and there was not,
in our opinion, room for a third.
Therefore we are not surprised at it's
suspension. How long before men
will realize that it takes money and
good business ability to make sue
cess of country newspaper?

way they had been left when the fam
lily retired.
Mr.. Arbogast's pocketbook and
watch were found unmolested on the

Alleged CHICKEN IN KERSBAW
York, Being Jealous, Says Strange
Things Happen in Strange Places.

Referring to the four-ounce egg,
and the four-legged chicken, Of which
the Kershaw Era has been proudly
boasting, aided and abetted by the
News, the Rock Hill Herald says:
In this civilized county-York-We
are contented with an ordinary hen
egg. We do not know the weight OF
the eggs of York, but we do know
that the Kershaw egg weighing four
ounces, would lay heavy on ones
stomach. We are not surprised to
know that a young chicken in Ker-
shaw has four legs, for strange things
will happen in strange places. But
the strangest thing of all is why Edi-
tor Connors claims these products.
Nothing strange at all about our
claim to "these products since Ker-
shaw is in Lancaster county. We
would have you remember that old
Lancaster raises everything except
h-l-from numerous limbed fowls to
live, hustling towns and the prettiest
women on earth-Lancaster News.

His Answer.

Pat, who was noted for quick
tongue, was digging potatoes when
the parish priests came by. BY way
of pleasant salutation the priest
said:
"Good mornin' to ye, Pat, and
what kind of p'rtatoes are ye dig
gin'?"
Raw ones, you riv-rince.
"Och, ye're so smart. I'll just give
ye question on the catechism. What
Is baptism?"
"It used to be four shillin's afore
ye came, but now it's twenty shil-
's."-The Circle.

SNAKE FOR NECKTIE.
seven-Year-Old Child is Deranged by
Practical Joke.

Tacoma, Wash, May 10.-Raving
in his childish treble, the f7-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Seeley, around
whose neck, in a spirit of fun COM
panion a week ago wound a dead
snake, may never recover his rea-
son.
The children were playing near
the Seeley home when one OF them
found the dead snake. Picking it up
without being observed by the other
children, he quietly approached the
seeley child from behind and sud-
denly wrapped it around his neck,
shouting as he did so that the snake
had jumped upon him.
The sight of the snake with the
yell of the joker and the fact that
the child for a moment could not
Jerk the snake away from his throat
toppled the boys reason.

BABY BORN IN A HACK.
Mother was Going to House in Sub
urb-Mystery Surrounds Actions.


Columbia, S. c., May 15.-The po-
lice of Columbia and Columbia's sub
urb, Brookland, have mystery on
their hands which has defed all solu-
ton so far. A we'll dressed white
woman on her way across the Conga-
rec bridge from Columbia to Brook
land frightened the hackman by CIV
ing birth to a child. He thought she
had lost her mind and drove her rap
idly to the nearest physician. After
the child had been dressed and the
mother cared for he drove her on to
the house in Brookland, which had
been prepared for by a mystic
rious man, whose name has not yet
been learned, and who had given di-
rections to the hackman, whose name
is also unknown. The proprietor OF
the Brookland. house says she has a
check for $50 from the man of mys-
terry, but declines to give his name
and has not yet cashed the check.
The man in the case had an interview
with the bridge keeper shortly before
the arrival at the bridge of the hack
and told him that in case a lady
came along in a hack and did not
have the bridge toll to let her pass
and he would make it good. The lady
offered the bridge keeper $40 bill,
from which to take the 25 cents toll,
but he could not make change and let
her pass. All efforts to run down the
hackman by his number have failed.
In the case of each number given the
hackman holding that number has
proven a clean-cut alibi.

TRAIN HELD UP.
Daring Robbery ON the Great North.
ern, Near Spokane.

Spokane, Wash, May 16.-Follow-
ing the hold-up of Great Northern
passenger train by six bandits be-
tween Colbert and Mead last night,
twelve perso.- were injured when
the locomotive and the mail car, cut
off from the rest of the train, were
run back wild by the bandits, after
they had rifled the mails of an un-
known amount, and collided with the
rest of the train.
The conductor saw the wild cars
coming back at 25 miles an hour. He
and another trainman placed tie on
the track, but the cars, though partly
stoppepd, plunged into the coaches,
throwing passengers from their seats,
cutting them with broken glass. A
trainman sprang aboard the locomo-
tive as the collision occurred, and
shut off the steam, stopping the
havoc.
When the train reached Colbert
late last night, while the crew was
busy with some switching, two men
sprang into the cab and thrusting re-
volyers against the breasts OF the en-.
gineer and firemen, ordered them to
do as commanded. The engineer and
fireman complied, and the mail cars
were cut off from the rest Of the train
by four other robbers. The locomo-,
tive and mail car then ran up the
track few miles. Then the engineer
and his fremne were forced to leave
the cab. Two of the robbers went to
the door of the mail car and ordered
it opened. Their command was obey
ed by Benjamin F. Stumpf, mail
clerk, who was hurried away from the
cars with the engineman by dozen
revolver shots. Manning the locomo-
tive themselves, the outlaws took the
mail cars down the tracks and looted
the registered mail. Then they start-
ed the locomotive back toward the
rest of the train and escaped.
Conductor G. L. Robertson cut IN q
telegraph wire to send word to Spo-
kane. While he was telegraphing;
about a half hour after the locomo-
tive and the mail car had disappeared.
he saw the powerful locomotive ca
reening towards the coaches in which
many were asleep. Many OF the pas,
sengers knew nothing Of the hold-up
until awakened by the collision.
As soon as Conductor Robertson
realized that collision was imminent
he called on the brakemen and por-
ters to aid him. While the conductor
and another man threw tie across
the track, a brakeman stood ready to
board the cab as soon as the shock OF
the collision checked the impetus Of
the wild locomotive. None Of the pas
sengers was fatally hurt.
Two special train-loads Of deputies
and doctors, were hurried from Spo-i
kane. No trace of the robbers was
found to-day. -,
While it is reported that the ban-S
dts obtained as much as $4,000,
railroad officers and mail inspectors
say the amount is not known. One
of the bandits who entered the cab
was more than six feet tall, and evt-l
dently an experienced engineer. Aa
the two robbers entered the cab this
man said to the engineer:
"You have heard of US before" in
dicating that they had been involved
in similar hold-ups.

short time through the efforts of ex-

GOyan News.

Govan, May 1.-THE quarterly
conference for this district was held
at Salem Methodist church Satur-
day before the third Sunday, under
the direction of Rev. Smith, the pre-
siding elder of this district. Rev.
Smith preached at same church on
Sunday morning, also preached at
Olar, in the new Methodist church
Sunday night.
His text for Sunday night was
taken from st. Luke: 81 will arise
and go to my father" He preached
very forcibly and great truths, say
ing that we often hear people re-
mark that blood is thicker than wa
ter" He made negation here by
saying that blood hasn't anything
to do with it, but that we all are the
children of God the Creator, both
sinner and saint, and that character
ICES our relationship, ie: God has
the same relation towards us as his
children as we have for our chill
dren. The idea runs in the light of
my treatise on cannubial love, in
condemnation OF Mr.. Bauarr McFad-
den, editor of Physical Culture Mag
azine, in saying that parental love
originates in physical nature, which
idea is perfectly preposterous. He
(McFadden) is truly a recreant
slanderer of the divine law!
He emphasized the truth that our
Savior s'came not to call the just to
repentance, but sinners" Told the
story of his trials in obtaining grace,
and how he found it in this text. He
said a great truth in this sense. A
saint is not a candidate for saliva
ton, but a sinner. His message
seems to have come direct from God,
laden with the spirit of truth and
love.
The new church at Olar is nice
pattern, and gives grace to the town.
We learn that it's membership is in
creasing. 1t doesn't take long to in
crease an organization under the
banner of "Methodism, for the
ministers of that faith are imbibed
or imbued with great power (not
baptism by immersion) to preach the
gospel Of Jesus Christ in spirit and
in truth"
