MARRIED. MARRIED MAN.
Knew it, So Bigamy Charge Won't
Hold, Says Judge.

Spartanburg, Sept. 2S.-When
Paul Taylor was being tried here yes
terday afternoon on charge of big
amy, Judge Robert Aldrich, ruled
that one cannot be convicted of this
offense if the woman that he married
the second, or any time afterwards
is aware of the fact that the man al
ready. had one living wife. 1t was
clearly evident that Taylor was gull
ty and all expected a verdict accord
ingly by the jury. However, when
his second wife was put on the stand,
she told the court the that she knew
Taylor was already married, and
even in the face of this accepted his
proposal.
Judge Aldrich took the view that
this did not constitute bigamy and
Solicitor Otis disagreed with him.
The Judge said that the second cere-
mony in the face of the evidence,
was a mere meaningless form. No
tice was given by the solicitor that
the case would be carried to the su-
preme court.

Freeman Carried to Walterboro.

Aiken, S. c., Oct. IA deputy
from Colleton county came to Aiken
this afternoon and carried Joe Free
man to Walterboro for the shooting
of Dr.. Kinsey, a prominent physician
of Williams, Colleton county. The
deputy said Freeman was a danger
GUS negro and carried him away
handcuffed, shackled and strapped.
Nothing here is known of the affair
in which DR.. Kinsey was shot. He
has since recovered. When an at
tempt to arrest Freeman was made
he fired on the posse and in the tu-
multi escaped. He was seen in Aiken
several weeks ago and was arrested
here Thursday as a suspicious char
acter. The Colleton authorities read
the account of the negro's arrest in
the papers. 1t is said that the negro
is also wanted in Dublin, Ga, on a
charge of murder. He admits living
in Dublin some time ago.

Military Power in China.

China's army is the subject OF a
good deal of interest, not that 1t is
formidable, but because OF the I'M
portance of China as factor in orr
entail politics, and of the possibilities
that lie in the development OF her
military strength. The army is said
to include, all told, and as it now
stands, between 100000 and 6OO,-
900 men. Most of them, however,
are poorly trained and poorly equip
ped, and ineffective except for sup
pressing uprisings of unarmed ma
tives. Nevertheless, there are in
China probably 100000 effective SOL
diers, trained in military maneuvers
and practices, and armed with mod
ern rifles and rapid fire artillery.
They are somewhat intelligent, can
read and write, and really know
something of modern warfare. What
is of still more Importance, they are
officered by men who have studied in
military colleges abroad or those IN
China in which foreign instructors
are employed. But even if China
had an effective army of million
men it would be of no service to her
under present conditions. To render
good service an army must be easily
handled and able to be at the right
place at the right time. This is i'm
possible now, owing to the lack OF
transportation facilities. The Chi
nese government now plans to con-
struct, within the next ten years a
network of railways which will not
only develop the country, but also
facilitate the handing of troops. 1t
plans also to have an effective army
of 100000 men by 1913, and one OF
1,1S5,o00 by 1920.

NEGRO TELLS STRANGE STORY
James Freeman Claims to Have Been
Shot by Mob in Colleton.

Aiken, Sept. 30.-Bearing scar
which he says he received from shots
fired at him by mob of white men.
James Joe Freeman, alias Buddie
Moore, is in the city jail here as
suspicious character. Freeman was
arrested by Policeman w. B. Ra-
born. The negro is SCARED and bat
tered up, but all of the wounds are
healed now. He alleges that he re-
ceived his rough treatment te"
weeks since at Williams, in Colleton
county.
He says that a crowd or MOB OF
white men came to his home at that
pIace while he was away from nome.
They took his wife out and beat her.
he alleges. and about that time ne
and another negro came up to the
house. He begged the mob not to
kill his wife, whereupon the moo
fired upon him. one or two SHOTS
striking him, making the scar on
his arm and side. His companion,
he says turned upon the crowed and
fired once, the shot striking a prom
inent physician. They escaped the
mob and hid out in swamp Tor
some time. Another crowd OF about
100 men hunted the swamp for him,
he SAYS, but he finally escaped them,
coming to Aiken county. He says ne
has not been back to his old home
again, and he has never heard from
the wounded physician.
The police do not credit his story
much and are inclined to believe he
has been guilty of some serious
crime and are holding him as sus-
picious character, there being no
charge against him here. The negro
is about 40 years old, weighs l6o
pounds, five feet six inches in height,
has heavy moustache for negro, is
ginger-cake color. He bears scar
on his left arm and side, made by
gunshot, has scar of cut on forehead,
has scar over right eye and another
under. right eye, and still another
on his nose. He has three teeth out.

The Old Time Surgeon.

Before anaesthetics were known
the surgeons only expedient was to
abridge his patients sufferings by
working rapidly. In this the old time
surgeons did wonders. They had a
control and a surety in their hands
that are now seldom found. One day
the celebrated surgeon Maisonneure
had to amputate the leg of poor
devil, who began to howl in advance.
"I'll give you my WATCH" said the
surgeon, eff the operation lasts more
than a minute" The man accepted
the offer, but was obliged to forego
the handsome watch, as the opera
ton took less than it requires to de-
scribe. To amputate an arm at the
shoulder is a most difficult opera
ton. DR.. Langeback, of Germany,
did it in two minutes. A young
physician who came to see him per-
form the operation adjusted his
spectacles to his nose so as not to
lose single movement, but when the
spectacles were in place the opera
ton was over and the severed arm
lay on the floor. Times have chang
ed much since then.

Cotton Crop Deteriorates.

New York, Sept. 30.-The condl'
ton of cotton, on an average date OF
September %, as ascertained by over
$4,000 special correspondents of the
Journal of Commerce and Commerci'
al Bulletin, was 65.7 per cent
against 70.7 per cent last month and
59.5 per cent. year ago at this time
This is a drop of 5 points, being
less than in any Of the past ten years
except in 1905, when deterioration
amounted to only points. The av'
erage deterioration for the past ter
years, according to these special re,
ports, is 6.7 points, while the average
1o-year condition is 81 per cent.
The heavy depreciation in Oklaho'
ma, of 1879 points, was due chiefly
to dry, hot winds and the boil
worms.
Texas passed through the month
with only loss of 2.3 points, owing
to the comparative absence OF the
boil weevil. Drought, however, caus'
ed premature opening. Arkansas
Louisiana and Mississippi lost 1O.5
points, S.3 points and IL points, re-
spectively, owing largely to the boil
weevil and hot, dry weather.

evening. lightning struck the old

lot of shingles and weather boarding

house is quite large, constructed OF
