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

The handsome Pearlstine residence
on Main street in Branchville has
been rented to w. A. Bass, who will
run a hotel there.
A negro woman named Daisy
White committed suicide at the in
sane asylum in Columbia last Friday
by hanging herself to her bed. She
was demented.
The Southern Railway will next
week put on a fine new train from
Charleston to Cincinnati. It will be
a through train and handsome equip
ment throughout will be the rule.
Commissioner E. ]. Watson has
appointed DR.. A. c. Doyle, Of Orange
burg, as inspector of drugs and hu-
man foods, as provided under the
pure food act He will travel through
out the State on inspection tours.
It Is stated that a man over in
Orangeburg county named William
Sanford killed a hog recently that
weighed. 1853 pounds. The pig was
on.y seventeen months old. This is
said to be a record breaker for that
age hog.
The commercial club of Walter
boro has also become interested in
the project of opening up the Edisto
river, and there will no doubt be a
strong showing made by the, various
towns interested at the hearing set
for January 3rd in Washington.
The citizens of Orangeburg are
somewhat wrought up over the city
authorities allowing the explosion OF
fire crackers and other fireworks on
the business streets, and petition
will be presented to council asking
that it not be allowed in the future.
This would be a good step for Bam-
berg to take.

RIDDLED BY MOB'S BULLETS.
Oscar Chitwood Taken from Deputy
by Citizens and Put to Death.

Hot Springs, Ark, Dec. 26.-
twenty-five masked men lynched' Os-
car Chitwood, after overpowering a
deputy sheriff just outside the jail
here, before daybreak this morning,
riddling the prisoners body with bull
lets.
Chitwood was charged with hay-
ing killed Sheriff Jake Houpt, Of this
city, August II last. John Ruther-
ford, was in charge of the man, en-
route to the railroad station to take
a train to convey Chitwood to the
State penitentiary at Little Rock for
safe keeping, pending trial in Saline
county on change Of venue granted
recently. His trial on a first degree
murder charge was to have taken
place here last week, but the change
of venue intervened and, indirectly,
probably gave the mob an opportunity
to >wreak vengeance. The citizens of
Hot Springs did not know of the kill
ing until later in the day. The mob
cover ed the deputy sheriff with guns
and demanded the prisoner, telling
him that the slightest resistance on
his part meant death to them both.
The body of Chitwood was riddled
with bullets and left where it fell and
was removed later by the officers.
He was shot once in the head and
once in the left nipple. One bullet
entered his hand as he threw it up
to ward off bullets.
After Chitwood was shot the men,
bers of the mob, with the exception
Of one man, who was left to guard
the deputy sheriff filed out Of the jail
yard. He kept. the. deputy covered
with his revolver for a short time
and then backed out of the yard with
his gun still covering the deputy.
None of the prisoners in the jail
were molested and in ten minutes
after the tragedy all was as quiet
around the prison as II nothing un-
usual had occurred.

Tho MMacaroni."

The "macaroni" were exquisites or Cops who in England and France led the fashions from 17S0 to 1785 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the top of their beads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen who invariably car ried long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged minc- ing and affected gait and manner. There was during the war for inde- pendence a body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy uni forms were called "macaroni."

 a!ohammni1ans Of India are very su'5erStitious No Mohamlnedan will take d bath on Sunday or Tuesday But if enc hathes on Wednesday all mistortunes. and misery that are in store for him till the next Wednesday will be averted. As rule. all Moham- medans bathe on Fridays before going to perform the junlma prayers. For doaning new clothes Saturday. Sunday aid Tuesday are regarded as bad days If any one dons new dress or puts on new cloth or allows his tailor to cut piece of cloth on these days. he will live miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt is torn and if the wearer wants to stitch it, it must be taken off, for if 1t is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow a barber to come near him on Tuesdays. for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving. If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday, but never CD Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall iu blood if he does so. If one receives money or some valuable thing, 1t is taken with the right hand, for if 1t Is taken with the left the person re- ceiving 1t is said to forget all about 1t very soon or to mislay it. A de- vout Mohammedan will not start on a journey on Wednesday,. for it is be- lieved he will never return home safe ly if he does so. And 1t Is said that even a snake never ventures out of its hole on this day.

A Snake Story.

The family were at dinner when there came tap at door seldom opened. Winning no attention, it was repeated and again third time. though more softly, and then the door was swung back and. behold, there was snake, knocking at the portals of hospitality! Down upon its head. in conformity with the decree of tradi- tion and with Ezra's understanding of scriptural direction. crunched Brit. tsh boot. It was mother snake, who. having bravely overcome her fear of man. was seeking sustenance. not for herself perhaps, though she was starv- ing. but more likely for the little ones that were found in the grass by the brook. Thus for once. at any rate, did the craftiness of the devil succumb to the instinct of motherhood.-George 8. M. Harvey in North American Re- view

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace

A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the Jennings.
 The greatest of all Scottish anniver. saries is that of Bannockburn, fought in the year 1314. Apart from it's bear. ing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an eZceD. tiona interest from the military point of view. as Bannockburn may be said t6 have been the birthplace of the British square Proud Edwards $ army mainly consisted of cavalry. while that of the Scots. on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear. and these Bruce threw into "schil- troms," or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings, who had employed it with suc- cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him. but Courtray an'i i'annockburn proved that he was po"rrlpss to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "schitrom." or hedgehog, forma- lion, and these two battles revolution lzed the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt. As it was the Scots who nay be said to have originated the :aitish square at Bannockburn. so it r..s They again who at Ralal1lava were 't first tn discard it with their thin ,'H fine and unw. owing to ous

SMOKING Ga-A PIPE.

tt Is Said to Give the Face Square
 Jawed Effect.
 There is one question 1 always asK man who wants d job.' remarked the business man who has to hire sev eral hundred men for different posi- tions each year.
 "The question ] always ask them is, Do you smoke Il pipe much: Of course the answers are various. Sone of them smoke q pipe a great deal and others not at all.
 Why do ask about the pipe? Well. not that l have the least interest in their habits or that have any preju. lice one way or another in the mat. Rr. The reason is that want to know whether the formation of their lower jaws is natural or acquired.
 "A man with a firm lower jaw is al. ways man of parts and of will. 1 say always'-anyway, most always. If he does not smoke a pipe his square jaw. back near where it hinges on to the upper one, is natural. If he is a pipe smoker the looks are deceiving. and have to judge his caliber some other way.
 "pipe smokers always have strong muscles back on the face about the place q man stops when he makes the first stroke downward in shaving These are the muscles that hold the jaws together They often give square jawed effect to man who hasn't any square jaw characteristics. My men think ask funny questions. but there's reason."-New York Times
