Times and Democrat Thanked.

One of Orangeburg County's most
substantial farmers told us the other
day that he wanted to thank The
Times and Democrat for the interest
1t has manifested in the boys corn
contest by contributing more to the
cash prizes than any one else in the
city or county. He said he was sure
that all the boys in the Corn Club
appreciated the liberality Of The
Times and Democrat in helping to
get up the prizes. We thank this
gentleman for his kind words, and
regret that The Times and Democrat
cannot afford to give more to this
worthy cause.

MANHATTAN Kas., Feb. 12.-Prot.
McKeever of the Kansas Agricultural
college, in an experiment before a
psychology class, staged a hold up
in his class room yesterday and after
ward took testimony on the subject
The object was to test the reliability
of eye witnesses.
Prof. McKeever selected three young
men to stage the "hold up and had
them practice their parts in his office.
He also made note of their personal
appearance.
They were instructed exactly what
to do and say. All these things were
placed in a notebook in order that the
testimony might be compared with the
facts.
THE class in psychology had just as
sembIed when in rushed Jones" VINO
whirled about and pointed wrench at
his pursuers and exclaimed:
''Stand back or I'll shoot!"
Turning he ran across the room and
dronned to his knees, letting fall a
small bag which he carried, saying;
There, take it!
Students Fail in Test
He then ran out of the room. He
was closely followed by Smith and

YOU scoundrel!' and grabbed the bag
and ran out. White came in, carrying
a. small revolver with the cylinder re-
moved, yelling:
tTake it from him, Eddie. He won't
hurt you"
The play lasted only a few seconds
and Prof. McKeever asked each mem
ber Of the class to write an account OF
what happened.
Although Smith was not armed IN
any manner, yet two testified that he
carried a revolver in his hands and
snapped it several times, while a. thlrd
credited him with saying;
"Stop or I'll shootl" at the same
time aiming at Jones.
White, though armed, was scafcely
noticed. One witness testified that ne
"a rried a club of some kind, but no
one mentioned the fact that he carried
q revolver with the cylinder removed.
likewise testimony as to the appear
ance of the individuals did not agree.
After the testimony was all IN Pror'

About 200 were attending the schools

worst storms of the winter, which so
far has been marked by many severe
and damaging blizzards, today and to-
night ragged over the east, extending
along the Atlantic coast and far into
Ohio. Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Tennessee.
In many places the snowfall for the
day is reported to have been from five
to ten inches, in most sections accom-
panied by a binding blizzard and
probably numerous fatalities.
Pittsburgers were forced to founder
through snow II inches deep to reach
their mills and offices, while railroad
and trolley lines in that section of
Pennsylvania were badly blocked all
day.
From all sections in Western Penn
sylvania, West Virginia and Ohio came
reports of suspended traffic and snow
blocked highways. The storm in that
section is still raging.
Four inches of snow fell in Philadel-
phia during last night, the storm then
turning TO rain.
Seven inches of snow fell in New
York city.
Two fishing vessels were victims of
the storms fury. both being blown
ashore at Sandy Hook, and only des-
perate work by the life savers pre-
vented the loss of the crews of both.
The storm in northwestern New York
is the seyerest since 1881.
Tennessee Showed Under
"Sunny Tennessee bellies it's name.
There are ten inches of snow in the
vicinity of Nashville and it is still
falling. The snowfall in middle and
western Tennessee varies in depth from
four to ten inches.
New England was visited today by a
severe storm of wind and snow, the re-
suit being an unusually high tide. Sew
eral wrecks of sailing vessels are re-
ported.

the Mississippi river was the cause of a
steamship accident. The Belle of the
Bends struck on a bar near Filters s
Landing, Miss, before daylight. Panic
broke out among the forty passengers,
but boats were lowered and they We're
all taken safely ashore.
All efforts to get into communication
today with points in the Florida penin-
