MADE HIM BITE HIS TONGUE.

Since the black pugilist Johnson
put away" our Canadian grown
champion, Tommy Burns, we have
heard a lot about the hardness of the
negroes head, which. according to COM
mon belief, is capable of standing al
most any blow.
The following story would seem to
indicate something of the kind, any
how. Two negro men were employed
in tearing down three-story brick
building. One negro was on top OF
the building taking off the bricks and
sliding them down narrow wooden
chute to the ground, some thirty feet
below, where the other was picking
them up and piling them.
When the latter negro was stoop-
ing over to pick up a brick, the for
mer accidentally let one fall, striking
him directly on the head.
Instead of its killing him, he mere
ly looked up without rising, and said

laughing success, "All Due to DIANA
farce that. has created more merri-
ment than any other ever seen on the
western stage. Unlike most comedies,
this has a plot, and very interesting
one in which matrimony and divorce
are the main themes and the author has
handled them in a most effective man
ner.
Diana, who is a fiirtatious young
woman, married to a musician. obtains
divorce from him and later marries
her er-in-law. This involves her
former husband in world of trouble
as he in the meantime has married
another young woman, the daughter of
Diana s second husband. Of course the
mother law comes in for big share
of attention as well, in fact it is she
whom all the men are trying to rid
themselves of, and the result is one of
the jolliest mixups imaginable.
In the mixup is also chic young
French woman who at one time was
admired by the musician. She appears
on the scene just when things are most
| complicated, and the lively scramble
which takes place in trying to conceal
| identities is full of excitement and fun.
Tt is impossible to fully describe the
humorous scenes and amusing situa-
| tons. The play is in three acts, and
from start to finish there is not a dull
moment. The same bill will be repeat
ed tomorrow night.

STATE FARMERS UNION VILE MEET
IN COLUMBIA ON JULY 28th.
Officers Urge a Large Attendance e-The
Railroads Have Given Reduced Rates.

Columbia, July 5.-The following
call has been issued by the officers OF
the State Farmers Union r.
The meeting of the Farmers State
Union is drawing near, and we be.
speak a large attendance. Reduced
railroad rates have been applied for,
and will doubtless be granted. The
convention will be held in Colnmbia
the fourth Wednesday in July, which
which this year will come on the 18th.
By that time most of the farm work
will be over with, so far as concerns
the laying by of crops, and we see no
reason why there should not be large
and enthusiastic gathering. Every
county union should be represented
if possible, for matters of importance
will come before the Union for consid.
GRAFTON. All members In good stand
ing not delegates will be admitted to
the floor of the convention.
We cannot too earnestly emphasize
the fact that large delegations to this
state meeting will prove to the scepti.
cally inclined that the farmers mean
business, and that it is their purpose tc
better their condition az far as they
can through organized effort. A large
attendance will not only command the
respect of outsiders but it will help
mig htily towards inspiring confidence
and enthusiasm among the farmers
themselves. Listlessness and indifter'
ence never yet won victory; only
earnestness and enthusiasm point the
way of an assured goal.

WOULD YOU MARRY =?
Clinton Gazette.

Probably you would. I would, con-
ditionally, as I shall, after little COM
ment, show:
Whether or not Mrs. Gould. wife
pro tempore of Howard Gould, the
New York multi-millionaire. beguilty
of all or any of the character-blacken
ing charges preferred against her in
the recent court of indecencies sitting
in New York city, the woman's refnt-
ing testimony overshadows that of the
cloud of witnesses whose sworn evi.
dences were momentarily decidedly
against the accused, and, the Madam
rides the waves like duck and pulls
her ex-husband, Howard, for 1886, 900
alimony per annum.
Howard Gould, like many another
gourd-headed gump, fastened TO wed
the "show woman" for her personal
charms,n and, from all appearances,
invested his matrimonial inclinatlons
in gold brick.
The editor of the Clinton Gazette is
an ardent admirer of pretty women;
wouldn't mind investing in one for
life's allotted days to come but he
should like before taking the final
plunge to feel pretty sure that be was
getting some boot in the nature of the
real thing and not all aounces and
feathers and gaudy show to be followed
by thunder and lightning and clouds
of sorrow dripping with penitential
tears.
The girl of twenty odd or little bit
older, who knows how to skin potatoes
and string beans, chase chicken and
bake good corn pone and brittle bis
cults, is worth whole carload of
pretty actresses, and one such is by far
best calculated to cheer the home,
sweet home, be it ever so humble, and,
when the returns are all in will be
found far ahead in all sensible pre-
cincts.
Mr.. Gould, being divorced and free
man, can 90 forth and we'd another
Juliet if he likes, but here's one Lau-
.rens county, South Carolina country
cracker who is not hunting for marital
trouble outside Ofth captivating realm
of native born, home raised girl who
has no aspirations to be an actress or
the wife, for a while, OF millionaire,
but who would be contented and hap
py at home, ever ready to scare the

STORM SWEEPS
\
Hail, Rain and Wind Cause Considerable
Damage in Town and County.
Snecialtothe State

Special To the state.
Greenw wood, July S.-Greenwood was sub
jected late Wednesday afternoon TO terrific
wind, hall and rain storm. The damage over
the town and county was very heavy though
as yet 10 definite news can be got from the
bullying towns on account OF the destruction
OF telephone wires. The damage In the city
and nearby consists mainly OF destruction OF
dwellings. barns, trees, etc, there being no
serious effects as 10 the Injury Of persons.
The large warehouse OF Dursi-Andrews
Compan was almost destroyed, the roof
being swept away by the strong wind and the
building twisted until the entire structure
caved in.
The roof on the seed house Of the Green
wood OIL mill was lifted up and carried sew
eral hundred yards.
The residence OF Mr.. Dick Reynolds was
struck by lightning, the chimney falling and
smashing the roofin.
Several barns were demolished and IL is
quite remarkable that though many con-
tained live stock, not o single animal was
killed or even Injured. In every portion Of
the town trees were'puled from the ground
by the terrible wind force, In many instances
crashing through the telephone wires and
causing great damage to he system.
AS o result Of the hail and rain the already
poor crops ofihe county we're damaged to q
great extent and the farmers have added a
degree or two OF gloom to their expression.

were shaken down.
