RESTAURANT MAN
ARRESTED AT FAIR
COLUMBIA MAN sWEARs OUT
WARRANT CLAIMING He AND
FRIENDS WERE sTuNG.

The following is taken from the
Nashville Tennessean: "As a result
OF selling a dinner advertised at rs
cents for s1.2O, Charles Cole, alias
Lee, a native OF Florida. was placed
under arrest Friday afternoon at the
State Fair grounds upon a warrant
sworn out by c. Whitley, OF Colum-
bla, charging the restaurant keeper
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. II IS alleged that Whitley. to-
gether with four friends, entered
Coles restaurant booth upon the fair
grounds and called for a twenty-five
cent dinner for each. When they had
completed the meal five dollar bill
was given to the proprietor to be
changed Only 80 cents in change was
returned. When asked the cause or
the smallness of the change they we're
told that the steaks costs rs cents
each, the eggs Is cents each and each
portion of coffee and bread Is cents
each, making the total of each meal
$1.2O instead of 25 cents. The men ap-
pealed to the deputies at the fair
grounds and a warrant was sworn
out before Squire E. A. Dodd for the
arrest of the restaurant keeper. He
was brought before the magistrate
Friday afternoon and bound over to
he criminal court
II the statement is true as publish
ID in the Tennessean it is not strange
hat the men objected to the price.

PET WHITE RAT DREW
QUITE A CROWD

A colored man had white rat in a
small pasteboard box which he was
carrying home this afternoon, and a
crowd of half dozen or more stopped
to look at the rodent, and the CONVEX
sation turned on the question of eat
ing rats and one of the older members
of the crowd asked young colored
fellow IL he had ever eaten a rat, and
he said mo" very emphatically. The
other then asked him II he had ever
partook OF "meatpie" at Nashville.
This was considered a clincher and
the crowd joined in the laugh which
followed.
This rat was very tame and seemed
to enjoy having its back stroked by it's
owner.

GOT PHOTOGRAPH
OF BIG SHIPMENT
LOCAL FIRM MANUFACTURES IN.
VENTloN OF ONE OF THE
MEMBERS.

There is no good reason why Colum.
bia should not become an important
manufacturing center, in time, and the
firm of Everett & Harlan are doing
their part to bring about such re-
suit. The firm manufactures axe
racks, an invention of Bob Harlan'S,
and Thursday afternoon they made
shipment of racks, and the driver Of
their wagon stopped at good point
on West Seventh street, where a pho
tographer from Dafmwood's gallery
took picture of the load, which was
stacked very high on the wagon.
cut can be made from the picture
which will show very advantageously
on advertising matter of any kind
This was not the first shipment
made by the firm, and it is probable
here will be quite demand for the
output of their factory.

KILLED BIG SNAKE
NEAR TOWN TODAY
FARMER AND DOGS MADE QUICK
WORK OF REPTILE-THouGHT
TO BE LAND MoccAsIN.

A man named Rankin exhibited
quite a large snake about town this
morning that he and his dogs had kill
ed near the mail box at the home of
Mrs. Holden amout a mile north of
town. AS soon as the dogs discovered
the reptile they attacked it, and it
fought them viciously, but Mr.. Ran
kin joined them in the war of extermi-
nation, and they soon dispatched It.
No one seems quite positive as to what
variety of snake family it belongs,
but the opinion most generally ex-
pressed was that It was a highland
moccasin. The snake was probably
between three and a half and four feet
long.
The suggestion was made that it
might be rattre snake but 1t had no
'rattles," and was probably too dark
In color for a rattle snake.
Land moccasins resemble rattlers,
however, but are without rattles, but
are said to be poisonous.

wards Secretary Farragher took me

into the Office of President Niles. He

I'VE had few sessions like this

Then FaTragher gave me general d.
rections to see that all bills averaged
that amount thereafter.
Il worked for the company until last
June, when the graft charges were
made. One week before the plant
closed in June was asked to go to the

ture.


The plans are being carefully per-
Tested for the great educational rally
to be held in this city at the Athenae-
UNI grove Saturday, October first The
PROSPECTS are bright for the success
of the meeting and the public gener.
ally seem to realize the importance Of
united and aggressive action in behalf
Of education. Much has been already
done for the cause in Tennessee, and
the results have fully justified the eff
forts that have been made, but much
yet remains to be done, and It is
thought no better plan can can be
adopted to interest every one in -educa-
tional matters than rally such as will |
be held October first. AS far as re-
ported it is expected that the teachers |
pupils and patrons of the schools gen.
orally, will attend the rally, and pros
poets are already very encouraging.
The time is comparatively short in
which to complete the arrangements,
but County Superintendent Graham Z
and those who are joining with him in
the work are making excellent prog
ress, and 1t is confidently predicted
that, with favorable weather, the dem.
onstration will be an impressive one.
Able Speakers.
The speakers who will be present
will justify the expectations of the
public, for they are men Of ability, and
the message they will bring along ed /,
ucational lines will be well worth !,
while and should be heard by every.
one. Prof. p. p. Claxton, of the Uni !.

deliver addresses as will local men in
