the car with them,
Mr.. Gates had business In various
Texas cities that prompted him TO
make several stops on his way across
the State. He and his wife played with
the nup frequently and the animal
scratched their hands with his teeth
and claws In playful way. He also
marked some other members of the
party.
Upon his arrival here to-day Mr..
Gates received a telegram from c. +.
Smith, who is in charge OF his place at
Port Arthur, informing him that the
cur which bit Blonde has developed a
pronounced case OF rabies. Two other
dogs in Port Arthur that were bitten
by the stray cur have also shown symp-
toms Of hydrophobia since the departure
Of the Gates party.
Mr.. Gates at once ordered that Blon-
die be chained up in the baggage com
partment OF the private car and that no
one he allowed to get within reach Of

the dIsquieting news from his wife, but

Really Poor Penman,

There is a certain Philadelphia ply.
stefan of considerable prominence
who is renowned among his friends as
the worst penman in the Quaker city.
He used to write them letters and
then feel hurt when they could not
read them. When he wrote to persons
who were not familiar with his scrawl
they frequently would not know whom
the letters were from Some time ago
he introduced typewriter into his Of
flee, and this rendered the body of the
letter ineligible, but did not clear up
the difficulty over the signature. Now,
says the Record, he has had
made rubber stamp bearing his
name and address in printing. He
signs his name in the usual scrawl,
but alongside he impresses his stamp.
1t Is little humiliating, he says, but
he no longer has any trouble about
persons to whom he writes not know
Ing from whom the letters are.

Turning to bullet headed, freck-

about to carry off his head like an
aeroplane, she asked him to repeat
a verse from the scripture, but her
only answer was vacant stare.
Come, Gomez said the teacher,
"do you mean to tell me that you
can't repeat even one verse?'

SCOTT FACES CHARGE

der-out on Heavy
Fond Of $500.

The vicinity of Ninth and Main,
which for three months past has been
almost devoid Of any spectacular per-
formances and bloody battles, was
once more Illuminated last evening
when Ed Scott, local colored battler,
and Wilbert Johnson, stranger OF che
same color, engaged in an alterea-
ton, followed by an encounter which
thrilled the spectators to lively
heat. 1t was not fracus limited to
the bare knuckle spectacle, but real
knives were brought into play and
blood drawn. The incident took place
between the hours of eight and nine
o'clock but the stories of the two
differ widely as to the cause and who
was the aggressor during the first few
minutes of play.
The two colored men fought for
some time, neither gaining much adj
vantage and being evidently pretty
we'll matched as to strength and abil-
ity While knives were brought strong
ly into play, neither of the two receiv-
ed any serious wounds. Scott was
cut on the little finger of his left hand
and Johnson received finger cut and
deep cash in his forearm.

ships and to change the boun'

We are told in the press re-
ports that the amendment was
granted by the Governor, the
matter being without opposition
and uncontested.
This would appear to indicate
that very little interest in the
whole business is taken by the
people of the county not includ'
ed in the Rutledge area, and
that they were indifferent as to
the outcome of the hearing.
This attitude of indifference, we
may say, is more apparent than
real. AS "a matter of fact there
are hundreds of people on this
side of the line who. are keenly
alive to the situation, but who in
the circumstances were 60 hand

unprepared for it, being entirely
without knowledge of the COZ
templated action until 1t was too
late TO take any steps IL the
way of efectual resistance.
This leads up to the question,
Are we getting fair deal IN
in this part Of the county?
Here is the situation, as It
appears to us: When the origl-
nal petition for the new county
was presented to Governor An
sci, he appointed commission
to look after the matter TO see
that all the requirements for the
formation of Aew counties were
complied with. This commission
was composed of six men-tWo
from Florence county, Two from
Clarendon and two from Will

Kingstree was appointed to rep
resent that part of Williamsburg
presumably opposed to the dis.
memberment; that is, the part
not included in the proposed
area of Rutledge county. Mr.
Smith, by the way, was made
chairman of the commission-quite
a distinguished compliment to
our part of the county in the
light of subsequent proceedings
