TWO KILLED BY FOUL AIR.
Farm Well in Lancaster County
Causes Double Tragedy.

Lancaster, Sept. 6.-Jim Shields
and Buster" Craig, two negroes, lost
their lives to-day by foul air in we'll
on S. P. Kriminger's place, two miles
east of Heath Springs.
The men were preparing to clean
out the we'll when Craig's hat fell in.
He went down to get it and, not re-
turning, Shields also lowered into
the we'll to find out what the trouble
was. He likewise failed to make any
response to those at the top. His
brother, Sam Shields, then started
down in the bucket, to which ne
was securely tied. After being low
cred some distance he made sign OF
distress and was at once drawn up.
When taken out of the bucket he
was in an unconscious condition, but
later revived. Foul air in the we'll
was the cause of the double tragedy.

Wedding Etiquette.

The brides parents furnish every
thing up to and including the mo
ment before the bridegroom make'
the response: II do"
This means that the brides papa
pays for the church decorations, tht
music, the carriages, etc. The bride
groom, however, must furnish hi:
own clothing.
This is enough to expect of the
brides father for the time, and it i:
not advisable to call upon him fol
financial assistance for sixty days, a
least. If he discounts his bills fol
cash, then he may be approached fol
a loan within thirty days.
Other gentlemen than the bride
groom are expected to contribute tt
the gaiety of the affair. AS many az
possible should flirt with the brides
maids. Hurting Of rice and ole
shoes after the departing couple is
no longer considered proper. The
higher cost of living makes the rice
expensive and from motives of econ
omy the old shoes should be saved
kissing the bride is an old custom
and sometimes a pleasant one. Such
remarks as: 81 suppose this will be
the last time" or "This makes an
even thousand" are merry enough
in themselves, but are not calculated
to add to the Joy of the groom.
Inviting your former wife to your
second wedding is considered poor
judgment.-The Delineator for Oc-
tober.

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT.
Negro Placed in Orangeburg Jail on
Serious Charge.

Orangeburg, September 9.-Alon-
20 Woodward, negro, was brought
to this city yesterday and lodged in
the county Jail having committed a
criminal assault. Woodward will be
tried at the January term of the
court of general sessions.
About dusk last Monday, while
two little negro girls were returning
from Springfield to their home a
short distance in the country, they
were overtaken by Alonzo Wood
ward. The sudden appearance of
the negro frightened the little girls
and they tried to flee. crying as they
ran. The oldest sirl was overtaken,
thrown down and an attempt was
made to assault her, but the girls
shrieks and yells attracted the at
tention of an old colored woman who
managed to reach the scene in time
to save the girl.
The negro took to flight, after hav-
ing almost torn the dress from the
girl. The neighborhood was short
ly aroused, and warrant sworn out
by the magistrate, and Woodward
apprehended and sent to Jail.

Platonic Marriage.

Omitting sentimental pyrotech-
mics, and getting right down to prac-
tical, day in and day out, three meals
and millinery existence, marriage is
not an unselfish relationship, says
Erman J. Ridgeway in the Delinea-
tor for October. A man may pro-
test, and he may believe, if he is
very young and ardent that he is
taking this woman" to work for and
cherish, and make happy; but way
down among his instincts, if he
troubles to look, he will find con-
viction that this particular woman
will make good home for him,
and honor him among his fellows;
that she will cater to his patriarchal
aspirations in providing family;
and that in her he will continue to
find through the years sweet salts
faction for his soul and body hunger.
The conviction may be unconsci-
Gus, but it is there. If when lover
wooes his ladylove she were to
answer: Eyes, / will marry you, #
you will agree to a platonic marri-
age; no children, no love-making;
rooms in hotel; and an allowance, -
and old dodo might accept the terms,
but any real man out of the wheel
chair stage would take to his heels.
There are probably a few things
which, if a woman knew she was go
ing to miss them in the marriage re-
lationship, would send her flying
from it.

BULL KILLS A MAN.
After Terrible Fight in a Pasture
at Night.

A Savannah dispatch to the Au-
gusta Chronicle says in a terrible
fight in the dark, with bull, Jacob
Hazard, negro man was killed be-
tween midnight and dawn Wednes-
day morning in a pasture at the
eastern city limits. After he es-
capped from the bull he crawled two
hundred yards for help but nothing
could be done for him, and he died
within a short time. Hazard had
just entered the pasture when a
huge shape leaped upon him from
the dark. The bulls horns had brass
knobs at the tips and the animal
thrust the knobs far into the mans
body, tearing great holes in him.
With it's victim on the ground, the
bull paved at him inflicting many
bruises. Hazard fought for his
life, crawling 70 the fence and push
ed himself through it.

What Constitutes Negro.

Washington, Sept. 8.-Just what
constitutes a negro in the United
States may be question which the
United States supreme court will be
asked to settle in the near future.
One-sixteenth negro blood in an indi-
vidual Classics him as a negro in
the District of Columbia, according
to a decision by Justice Daniel T.
Wright of the District supreme court,
in the case of Isabel I. Wall, an eight
year-old child who recently was bar
red from a white public school be-
cause the principal had information
that she was of negro parentage.
The father of the girl attempted to
force the board of education to re-
instate the child, but failed, Justice
Wright deciding she was a negro.
The case was appealed.

GOING "HONIE TO DIE"
Frank Hendrix, Paralytic and Con-
sumptive, Gets Pardon

Columbia, Sept 1O.-"In order
that he may 60 home to die" are the
pathetic words that conclude an Or
der of Governor Ansel paroling
Frank Hendrix, of Barnwell county,
negro, who is said to be in the last
stages of tuberculosis and to be also
a paralytic. Hendrix was convicted
at the November term of court of
housebreaking and larceny and was
sentenced to serve five years on the
public works of Barnwell county.
The county supervisor of Barnwell
wrote Governor Ansel that Hendrix
was a dead expense to the county, as
he could do no work, having been
paralyzed on his right side. A visit
from the county physician and a
subsequent letter to Governor An
sci brought the additional informa-
ton that Hendrix's case was hope
less, as the negro was suffering from
tuberculosis and might not live mucn
longer. Hendrix has lost twenty
seven pounds since he has been serv-
ing his sentence. He has been treated
for tuberculosis, being forced to leave
the chain gang for two months
while under treatment by physi-
clan.
Governor Ansel in paroling Hen
dirk says that he does so 'in con-
sideration of the circumstances of
the case and as matter purely of
humanity" Hendrix must report
monthly to the supervisor as to his
whereabouts and at the end of six
months, if he is still alive, he must
then report to the governor for
some disposition of his case.

Don't Tell Father.

The Smith household was expect
ing a visit from the stork. Bobby s
mother had wisely talked the matter
over with him, telling him that it
was a precious secret between them,
and he must not speak of it to any
one. Bobby, who had long wished
for a baby sister, was fairly bursting
with happiness, and that evening,
when friend called, she was in
formed by him of the JOY in store for
them. Then suddenly, recalling the
admonition of his mother, he clapped
his hand to his mouth and exclaimed,
"Oh, forgot: 1t is secret! Papa
doesn't know anything about it!'-

SCHOONER AMONG WHALES.
\ Maine Captains Adventure Along
the Atlantic Coast.

Capt. H. B. Trubock of the schoon-
er Nancy Ann, from Maine with a
cargo of pine lumber. said last night
that his passage down the Atlantic
coast was perilous one.
Just after we got we'll out of
Kennebec and started down the coast
we encountered a big school OF
whales,' said the skipper Many
of them were over 100 feet long.
Our course lay right in the midst OF
them. When we hit the bunch one
big fellow resented the intrusion by
giving US hard rub on the wind
ward side. Over we tipped and ship
ped about 500 gallons of water. 1t
was fully three minutes before the
big fish left us.
81 thought we were goners. My
little ship has very small holes to let
deck water off. For moment we
kept going over further, but all
hands rushed to the upper side, and
we gradually righted. After this
narrow escape l tried to bring the
ship more to the southeast in order
to get out of the danger, but the
wind was coming strongly from the
east and it was impossible to do so.
''The whales followed us all the
way down the coast and gave us
much trouble. Occasionally one of
the monsters would squirt volume
of water in the air and swim directly
into the path of the schooner,
remaining there until we struck him.
We were going at such a rapid rate
that l expected this performance to
stave in our bow.
THE large load of lumber in the
ships hole braced the sides to such
an extent that it was not very easy to
stave a hole in it. If it had not been
for that / am confident the Nancy
Ann would have been at the bottom
by this time.
when we arrived off the coast of
New Jersey a heavy northeast wind
struck us, and 1 had to change the
course more to the southeast to keep
from going ashore. For about twen-
ty-four hours we headed out to sea
and temporarily escaped the frolic-
some whales. When we put back to
shore, however, we ran into them
again.
This time a very large one swan
up to the starboard side of the ship
and gave us an awfully hard bump.
We went over to port and dipped
some water, but not as much as be-
fore.
81 have never seen so many
whales together. There is evidently
scarcity of food about the North
Atlantic, and they are coming south
in search of it. 1 have often had
them come up to the ship and swim
along side for hours, but have never
seen them 80 full of fight.
"At times the water about us was
worked up to foam by their scram-
bling and fighting for a chance piece
of food. I estimate that there were
200 whales in that school. When we
turned in at Norfolk they continued
down the coast. ."-Washington Post.

PATTERSON QUITS FIGHT.
He Resigns Regular" Democratic
Nomination for Governor.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 10.-Gov.
NJ. R. Patterson tonight withdrew
from the race to succeed himself as
governor of Tennessee. Gov. Patter-
son was the nominee Of the "Regu-
lar" faction of the Democratic party
and has been bitterly opposed by the
Independent Statewide prohibition
Democrats, who in coalition with the
Republicans elected a State judiciary
last month, defeating ticket for
which Gov. Patterson made a strenu-
Gus campaign of the State. On Tues
day the independents meet here in
State convention, majority of the
delegates coming instructed to vote
for the endorsement of B. w. Hoop
er, the Republican nominee for gov
ernor, Gov. Patterson, in his address,
announcing his withdrawal, de-
clares he will not be an obstacle in
the way of his party's success at the
polls nor will he willingly contribute
in any way to the possibility of sue
cess of the Rpublicans in Tennessee.
He withdraws in the interest of har-
mony and that Democratic factions
may get together to prevent the loss
of the State in November.

Refers to Taft.

He makes reference to interfer-
ence of a Republican president in
politics in Tennessee. In an inter
view after the issuance of the state
ment, Gov. Patterson declares that
he has no personal preference in the
matter of a Democratic nominee and
that he will take the stump for him,
whoever he may be. Patterson's po-
litica1 career has been a stormy one,
including his defeat of former Sena-
tor E. w. Carmack for the guberna-
torial nomination in sensational
campaign, followed by the killing of
Carmack here by the Coopers, their
trial which attracted nationwide at
tention and Patterson's pardon by
D. B. Cooper within few minutes
after his conviction was sustained by
the supreme court.
