UP ON LITTLE RIVER.
Death OF Nm. Rccsc-WilIiam lit
Teton Passed Away.

Little River, July 3O.--Speclal:
The rain still comes down and the
farmers are having time getting
through with their crops. Corn is
looking fairly we'll considering the
cold spring.
The many friends of |. e. ~olli s,
OF the Tamassee' section, will be
sorry to learn that he is seriously i'll
at this time.
Il. NJ. Lusk, Of Pickens, was
among friends in Lhs section the
past week. Mis- mother-in-law, Mrs.
Mary f.. Holden, accompanied him
back to his home to spend while.
The friends Of William Reese will
be sorry to hear of his death, which
occurred at his home in the Tamas-
see section on July Sth His body
was borne to its last resting place
on the day following a! Whitmire's
cemetery, where interment was
made, after short talk and prayer
by E. A. Perry. Mr.. Reese was a
consistent member OF Cheohee Bap-
tist church for number OF years,
where he was looked on as one of
the most strict members of the
church. IN his death the church has
lost one Of its oldest members, the
community one of her best citizens,
the family an aifectionate husband
and loving father. The bcreayed
ones have the deepest sympathy Of
many friends in their time of sorrow.
The protracted meeting at Salem
closed last Friday night with three
additions to the church.
The sad news Of the death Of Will
liam Littleton, Of Georgia, reached
these parts last Friday. This was
indeed very sad to his many rela-
tfves and friends in this section,
where he was raised and spent his
boyhood days. He was school
mate Of your correspondent, and
during all Of our schoolboy days we
never heard a single one of his
school mates speak word or say
anything slightingly Of William Lit
Teton. While our hearts feel griev-
ed at the loss Of this good man, we
realize that our loss is his eternal
gain, and while our heads are bow
ed with grief his soul is basking in
the smiles OF a blessed Saviour. The
bereaved relatives and friends have
the deepest sympathy Of many
friends.
Rev. G. d. Mann filed his appoint
ment at this place on the third Sun
day. His sermon was very i'm
pressive one, delivered in his usual
easy and forcefui manner.
Mrs. w. A. Pearson, of West I'M
ion, and Mrs. b. Smith, OF Stamp
Creek, spent last week with their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. ]. l.. Tallcy.

RAMsAY's CREEK NEWS ITEMS.
ID. s. Reid's Place Shows What
Brains and Work Will DO.

Ramsay's Creek, Aug. Especial:
James r. Suttles and son, who went
to Columbia last week on business,
have returned.
A protracted meeting began at
Pleasant Hill Sunday and will con-
tlnue through this week. A meet
Ing will also begin at Cross Roads
next Sunday. The people are invited
to take part In these services.
d. s. Reid's field Of corn is. per-
haps the hest we have ever seen.
This acre Of corn will easily pro-
duce as much as eight or ten acres
whele no fertilizer was used and
where proper cultivation was lack
ing. AS we look around and see so
many conveniences about Mr.. Reid's
home 1t reminds us of what a think
Ing mind, coupled with many years
Of nevcr-ceasng toll, will produce.
For instance, there is the we'll in the
yard, and the out-buildings and lot
are situated handily. Just back of
the house is the large garden, which
brings an abundance OF good things
to eat; about the house are several
trees, and, like good men, "they
bear nanght but good fruit" Last,
but not least, the good field OF corn
referred to above Is only few yards
from the house, SO that 1t received
his care and attention daily. Such
homes as this are an emblem of pros
perity, peace and happiness.
Everything points to the fact that
the farmers Of Oconee have laid
aside, their coats and have gone to
work In earnest. When such sea-
sons as this occurred ten or fifteen
years ago fields Of corn and cotton
were laid by in the grass, but now
people are more interested in their
work than ever before, and while
cotton Is small and corn is not SO
good, except where 1T was well fer
tilted, yet the crops have nearly all
been laid by in good shape and the
farmers deserve praise for their
faithfulness. Brag patches of corn
have increased in number most Won
derfully during the past year or so,
and we hope to see an extra good
field Of corn around every farmers
home in 1911.

FALSE ALARM CALLS no DEATH.
Insane With Revenge, Fireman Slays
Former Comrades and Family.

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 1.-Shooting
himself through the head after kill
ing three persons, including his wife
and children, mortally wounding a
fourth and seriously wounding a
fifth, Bert S. Durham, Il discharged
employee Of the local fire depart
ment, to-day ended the hunt for him.
His death was almost instantaneous.
Durham nursed Crude against
Capt. Sampsell, OF the fire depart
ment, under whom he had formerly
worked as engine driver and upon
whose complaint he had been dis
charged from the service for insub-
ordination. Durham this morning
sent in false alarm from the out
skirts OF the city and when Capt
Sampsell and the engine crew drove
up, he opened fire upon his former
work mates with Il revolver.
Fusilude of Bullets.
At the first shot Fireman Don
Grant fell from his seat dead, with
bullet in the head. At the sec
ond shot lloseman Guy Elliott pitch
ed to the ground with bullet
through the stomach. Durham then
leveled .hiS revolver at Sampsell and
fired twice, both bullets piercing
SampSells lungs.
Two more shots. fired at other
s&&&emberS of the crew, went wild
an@lrham then drew another revolver
and with it he covered his retreat as
he started to run from Assistant
Chief Scnccador, who had driven up
: In answer to the fire alarm. AS he
disappeared in the darkness, Dur
ham shouted back to the chief:
TEL my wife | am going to kill
myself
Within half an hour after the
shooting, a score OF police officers
and deputy shcriTs were on the
scene in automobiles and had begun
man hunt. Durham cluded the
pursucrs and reached home. After
staying his family. the madman ran
out and escaped.
A hospital 1t was said Sampscll
will die, but that there may be some
hope for Elliott.

WALHALLA TEAM DROPS ONE.
Main Liners Take Another Game
from the Hill-TOppcrs.

II Westminster proved to be too
much for the local ball tossers, and
when they went to that town last
Saturday the former beat the latter
by score of 45 to s.
81 Goss was on the mound for the
Reds" and except in the second
and seventh innings held the visit
ors In the hollow Of his hand.
Allen started twirling for Wal
fashion. In the opener, after giving
Leathers first on four wide ones, he
held him there while he famed the
next three Of his team mates.
EssS&he Hill-Toppers drew first blood
NSH sent three scores across the rub
Der In the second. After two had
been retired, Rowland sent hot
one through Simpson and landed
safe at first. G. Gaillard banged one
to left, sending Rowland around to
third. He didn't linger there, but
;rotted home with the first score
when G. Hetrick shot a single to Gil
bert In left field. Another rap by
Mcdonald scored two more.
The fourth inning was disastrous
to the Hill-Toppers and Westminster
put the me on ice, sending six over
the plate ,efore the side was retired
Before ly were out, three errors in
row flied the bases. Gilbert, next
up, slammed a double to left center,
clearing the bases aud Goss was
passed.
Smith replaced Allen in the box
and Braizener went out, short to
first. Leathers's single to right field
was lost in the high grass and Leath-
ers made the circuit, Gilbert and
Goss registering before him. They
scored four more in the fifth and as
fNany more I'm the sixth.
BWalhalla rallied in the last inning.
bNt it came too late to do any good
''With two down and G. Gaillard on
second, w. Hetric1 hit to left for
two bases and scored on Aliens hit

II your horse or mule has CLAN

SICK or dying with what appears to
be contagious disease, it is your
privilege and duty to notify the vet
erinaran at Clemson College, who
Will visit your place without expense
to you.
Chambers is caused by a specific
germ tbacillus mallei) and affects
horses, asses and mules. The goat
cat and dog sometimes contract the
disease from living in stables with
glandcred animals. Pigs may con-
tract the disease by incubation.
Cattle and chickens are immune.
The disease attacks the mucous
membrane OF the nose and extends
to the windpipc and lungs. When
the lymDhatic glands OF the surface
or the body are affected, the disease
Is transmitted to other animals, in
cluding man, by incubation through
wounds, or mucous membranes.
There are other ways in which ami
mails may be affected, such as COM
mon drinking troughs, feed boxes,
managers. hitch rack, harness and
any equipment used around an in
fccted stable.
in the acute or chronic form, or may
attack the surface Of the body in
he form OF farcy. The acute form
or glanders begins with chill. high
fever; the mucous membrane Of the
nose is at first hot and dry, and soon
there IS watery discharge, which
later becomes bloody. Nodules and
ulcers form on the mucous mem
branc or the nose and discharge DuS
These changes in the nose may take
place in two or three days. The pa
ticntS become very weak and rap
idly lose flesh.
The first symptoms of chronic
glanders are not easily recognized,
owing to the absence OF distinct
symptoms in the first stages of the
disease. First you will notice a
watery discharge from one or both
nostrils, which later on becomes
sticky and OF ycllowish green COL
orcd pus, mixed with blood, coming
from ulcers on the inside Of the nose
When g(anders affects the skin, it
is called farcy. One of the main
symptoms may be the swelling Of the
Joint with engorgemcnt Of the limb
and noduleS may form along the line
Of the lymphatics. These nodulcs
vary IN SIZE from pea TO q hen S
egg and have a tendency TO soften
and discharge pns, after which they
heal rapidly. Other nodulcs may
form following the same course as
the previous ones.
Prevention: All gandcrcd ami

ed with per cent carbolc acid

washed.
In doubtful cases Of glanders, the
mallein test IS given. This test
should only be given by qualified
veterinarian, and until 1t IS deter
mined whether a suspicious case Is
or Is not glanders, the animal should
be kept apart from all other animals.

HARMON GIVES BOOM.
Harmony Chief Theme of Dem
ocratic Banquet at National
Capital.

Washington, April 15.-The
possibility OF a Democratic cam
paign being launched with the
cry of Harmon Hearst and Har-
moy' is being discussed today,
following the Jefferson Day ban
quet which developed a number
Of surprises. The Bryan letter,
II which much had been written
and said before the banquet. was
not read until 2 80 o'clock Thurs
lay morning, when many OF the
guests had departed.
The climax came in the speech
Of John Temple Graves. former
candidate for vice-preSident on
the independence league ticket.
who announced that the Hearst
party was ready to return to the
,anks OF the Democratic party.
His announcement was received
with an outburst OF applause that
indicated the approval OF those
present. Champ Clark OF Mis-
souri, had announced that the
Democratic party stood ready to
welcome all who wished to join
it in the common struggle.
One OF the most significant fea-
lures was the generous round OF
applause that followd the declara-
ton OF Francis Burton Harrison
that the governor OF Ohio is the
most popular man in the party.

FREIGHT BUSINESS HEAVY
Pennsylvania Officials at Fort
Wayne State There Has
Been No Let Up.

Pennsylvania officials at Fort
Wayne state that there has been
no great let up I'M the freight
business over the local road as
yet. Each spring a decrease in
the tonnage usually occurs and
the company is forced to reduce
the number of trainmen in its
service as the result. Such it not
likely to prove the case this time.
That business continues heavy is
evidenced by the rush that is on
at the company's freight house
in that city. 1t is stated that 81
men have been given employment
there during the past week. With
in the past month the company
has been increasing its force OF
truckmen almost daily and not
less than one hundred men nave
been added to the pay rolls in
that department. There are still
vacancies existing at the freight
depot and whenever the right
man applies for job he is sure
to land one.

Absurd Postal Conditions.

You can send an 11-pound
package today from Chicago to
Berlin by mail for 1872; to send
it back Immediately by mail from
Berlin to Evanston, Chicago's
next door neigifbor, costs 81
cents. The total for two trips
across the Atlantis is S2.13.
But you couldn't send that IL
pound package by mail from Chi
cage to Evanston-say twelve
miles. at all. You would have to
split it up to three packages, as
our limit for one is four pounds.
For these three packages, sup
posing them to contain matter OF
the fourth class. you would have
to pay SIG, or II cents more
than for the postage to Berlin
and only 81 cents less than for
the double voyage across the At
lantic, and that for a 12-mile trip.
AS matter of fact the same fig
ures would apply to New York
and Hoboken, less than ? miles.
IF this be postal common sense
the United States postoffice au-
thorities are welcome to their ap-
parent monopoly OF it.

POWER TO ENFORCE RATE
Circuit Court Declines to Inter
fere With an Interstate
Commerce Order.

Louisville. Ky. April 9-1(he
United States Circuit Court, sit
ting here instead OF i'll Cincin-
natl. ais usual. denied today the
p,, ition OF the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad for an iniunc
ton against the enforcement Oh
an order OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission prohibiting
the company raising its freight
tariff in the territory between
Montgomery, Ala. and New Or
leans.
The court holds first that the
orders seem to have been reason
able and the rate not conhScatOry
as alleged, and second, that Con
gresS intended TO place upon the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and not upon the courts the
duty of considering the reason
ableness OF freight rates. For the
second reason, the court held, the
courts should not interfere with
the orders of the Commission
regulating rates unless there is
some glaring error apparent.
