BABY FINDS GOOD HOME.
Startling "Door Step" Discovery of
Rock Hill Couple.

Rock Hill, Oct. 1.-Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Owens, who reside in a nice,
new home on the corner of Marion
and Saluda streets, were presented
Thursday night, by some unknown
party, with fine baby boy, apparent
ly about two weeks old. About II
o'clock there was heard rapping at
the front door, and when Mr.. Owens
went to see what was wanted he
found nicely wrapped bundle lying
upon the porch. Awakening Mrs.
Owens, they opened the bundle with
above startling result. There SEEM
ed to be no clue to the child's identity
and whence it came is all surmise.
1t may or may not be coincidence
that this presentation was made a
few moments after no. go on the
Southern, passed going north. At
any rate, the baby has found a good
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Owens, who
have. no children OF their own, will
keep the baby and care for it.

Shot by Brother-in-Law.

Lexington, Oct. 1.--NeWS has just
reached Lexington of a most UnfortC-
nate affair which occurred late Fri
day afternoon in the Dutch Fork, in
volving two of the most prominent
men of that section of the county.
AS the result of an accident, Mr..
Chas. B. Lindler, of Chaplin, is lying
in a desperate condition, having
been mortally wounded, it is thought,
by his brother-in-law, Mr.. J. Frank
Shealy. From the meagre informa-
ton gathered this morning it seems
that the two gentlemen were hunting
a wild COW in Mr.. John O. Dreher's
pasture, preparing to butcher it for
the "beef club" of that community.
The two gentlemen had separated
and each had located the beef at the
same time, unknown to each other,
and approaching from opposite sides
Mr.. Shealey, coming in range of the
animal, fired, striking the beef, but
thirteen of the shot missed and
struck Mr.. Lindler, who was STEP
ping up in the bushes beyond.
Mr.. Lindler YVES shot in the stom-
ach, and while the shot were small,
the attending physicians hold out lit
tie hope to the family for his recov-
cry. The operation was performed
by Drs. Knowlton and Wessinger.
Mr.. Shealey, who, as above men
tione, is a brother-in-law of Mr..
Lindler, naturally is Frustrated over
the affair.
Both of the parties are from the
most prominent families of the Dutch
Fork and the untimely accident is
the source of a far-reaching and gen
uine regret throughout the county.

CIRCUS ROW QUELLED.
Crowd Bent on Lynching Negro Who
Cut White Man.

Columbia, Oct. 1.-Pandemonium
reigned tonight in one corner of the
main tent of circus playing here
and a lynching seemed to be coming
on. The arrest of the negro who
caused the disturbance Quilted the
100 men, who were bent on doing him
injury. Eugene Horsiord, young
white man, is tonight in a serious
condition, a large artery in his arm
being severed by blow from knife,
in the hands of the negro. This led
to the trouble.
Early in the evening Will Lawson.
the negro, had some trouble with a
negro woman, near the circus
grounds. The woman screamed for
aid and three white men went to her
assistance. On two Of the men, Law
son is said to have drawn his gun.
Later he went into the circus tent
and, seeing a man whom he believed
to be one of those who had had
trouble with him earlier in the night,
he reached over and slasned him.
The one upon whom Lawson made
the attack was Eugene Horsford.
A young lady seated nearby whose
name could not be learned, was near
ly cut. She tainted.
When the friends of Horsford
found out he had been cut, they
rushed through the circus tent hunt
ing for the negro. 1t seemed for
few minutes as if Lawson would meet
with violence at their hands. Final
ly he was placed under arrest by the
combined efforts of a rural policeman
and seven deputies. Horsford came to
police headquarters, after his wounds
were dressed, and wanted to have the
circus "held up" He was referred
to the sheriff.

strain him, Dr.. Hubert Gudger, a
young physician from Asheville, y.

purpose of self destruction with
which he seemed to be possessed.
This afternoon Mrs. Gudger persuad-
ed her husband to go for a walk,

knew she heard her son moving about
in his room

Good Roads Mean Better Schools

Good roads would revolutionize
our country schools. Contrast the
lot of the country child on his way
to school in winter with that of the
city child with only few blocks of
paved streets to walk. Our country
child, with satchel over shoulders
and lunch basket in hand, must
leave the cheerful fireside of home
from half an hour to an hour before
school opens in order to be there on
time. The roads are wet and muddy
many months of the year. The
country is open and the cold winds
are unmerciful in their attacks upon
him. So that, by the time he reach
es the school house, which is often
unscientifcally ventilated and poor
ly heated, his feet are so cold and his
body so chilled that he is unfit for
study or recitation most of the day,
and the exposure and chilling of the
body invite pneumonia and other dis
eases.
These conditions cause irregular
and broken attendance. They Gre
ate an aversion in the child for the
school room instead of a pride in
punctual attendance and studious
advancement. Not only this, but a
mother hates to see her, children
trot off to school two or three miles
away in cold, bad weather. She
fears that the injurious effects upon
the body from the exposure will do
greater harm than the beneficial ef-
fects upon the mind will do good.
She realizes that vigorous mind
can only dwell in a healthy body,
and that it would be misdirected
exercise of maternal care to force her
children to school under conditions of
exposure which endanger their bodi-
" health.-Logan Wallace Page.

Cyclone Sweeps Small Town.

Sanbornville, N. H., Oct. 1.-For
20 minutes this afternoon Wolboro,
~ miles from here, was the scene of
a cyclonic wind such as never before
visited New Hampshire. 1t left in its
wake unroofed houses and barns, up
rooted whole groves of trees and
toppled over gravestones and monu-
ments in Lakeview cemetery. The
falling trees carried with them the
telephone, telegraph and electric
wires, completely isolating the town
from outside communication, while
the trees themselves so completely
blocked the road that it was several
hours before the news reached here
by messengers.
Thus far no one is reported to be
seriously injured.

Ten Thousand for Boat Line.

Orangeburg, Sept. 29.-Ten thou
sand dollars already pledged and two
subscription lists still out tells the
story of the movement to raise sufi-
cient funds in Orangeburg to guar
antee that this city will procure a
boat to ply between here and Charles
ton when the Edisto river is made
commercially navigable.
Never before have the people OF
Orangeburg so readily and literally
subscribed to a proposition looking to
the city's advancement. We were
long ago convinced that the opening
up of the Edisto is an entirely feasi-
BILE project, and recent encouraging
circumstances have caused them to
redouble their efforts towards this
end.
All is activity so far as regards
the Orangeburg end, and even many
of the people of the territory con-
tiguous to the Edisto river between
here and Charleston, are being arous-
ed to a state of enthusiasm, some
of them being contributors to the
boat fund.
If Uncle Sam will do his part, and
those who are interested in the en-
terprise believe that he will, the
dream of years will become reality
and the beautiful Edisto will have
other claims to fame than that of
merely being a picturesque stream.

srtRIrIsM SAID TO BE DEMONIsM

A most interesting little Brochure
has recently come off the press set
ting forth with Bible proofs that the
communications received by and
through Spirit Mediums is of Demon
origin. The writer traces his subject
through the Scriptures from the time
whe ncertain of the holy angels be-
came disobedient. He proves from the
Scriptures that these fallen spirits
deal in personating the human dead
with whose past history spirits
though invisible, are thoroughly ac-
quainted. He shows that they also fire.
quently personate the Creator and the
Redeemer, commanding their deceived
ones to pray, do penance, etc. This
however, is merely to lead them on
and to bring them more thoroughly
under Economical control. Sometimes by
breaking down the natural barrier
the human will, they obess their VIC
tim, and rule him more or less to his
ruin-frequently sending such to the
mad house. Numerous illustrations
Scriptural and otherwise, are given.
The price of the little book is but
ten. cents; it should be in the hands
of all interested in Spiritism or who
have friends interested therein. En-

Washington D.. c., March 1S.-Sena-
tor Scott, of West Virginia, has laid
before the senate a protest of the
National Grange of West Virginia
against the statement IN the report
of Secretary Wilson that the value OF
ththe farm products of this country
last year amounted to $8,760,000, 000
Members of the grange say that after
deducting the cost of raising and mar
keting their crops, if the net profits
were divided aiming the farmers of
the country and their employees there
would be just $3.50 apiece.
The misleading statement of the
department, the protestants sayputs
them in a false light before the
country as men rolling in wealth, and
subjects them to extortion at the
hands of merchants who, by reason of
these misleading reports as to their
enormous wealth, look upon them as
