A Graduate of Clemson.
Mr.. Preston TarboX is a graduate
OF Clemson, and for n number of
years has held an important posi-
ton in firm of patent attorneys
In Washington. He is an expert in
his line, and besides this, is poss-
essed of a mechanical and inven-
tive talent of a high order. The
a1rship was brought from New
York on Clyde steamer several
weeks ago, and was carried out to
Willowbank plantation, on the
Black River, near the edge of the
city. Experiments and prepara-
tions have been going on steadily,
with view toward making a flight
when the atmospheric conditions
should be considered most favor
able. In the meantime Mr.. Gurdon
Tarbox went north and took
course of lessons in the science of
handling airships, and especially
Curtiss type of machine.

the first attempt to fly, and WAS
successful beyond expectations. The
balancing device worked like a
charm. The machine rose like a
bird, going higher and higher, then,
at an altitude of about two hun
dred feet from earth sailed along
TO the south in the direction of
Wlnyah Pay t. Lne distance of
three-quarters of mile, came about
and returned to the starting point,
landing easily and safely.
The noise of the flying machine
as 1t passed the outskirts of the
town aroused the negroes along the
line of flight who were amazed and
terrified beyond reason, at the un-
expected and marvellous apparttion
in the air. Their outcries, it is
said could be heard for blocks.
May Give Exhibition.
1t is probable that the Messrs
Tarbox will give some public ex-
exhibitions here as soon as their
machine has been we'll tested and
their preparations perfected. So
Tar they have barred the public
from witnessing their work and
visitors have been denied excess to
the grounds where the experiments
are going on.

tine.

Quitman, Ga, July 6. - News
has been received here of the hor-
rlble beating of a negro, Dave Will
llams, by other negroes. ten in all
being mixed up in the outrage. An
attempt was made to run Williams
away from a turpentine camp at
Dixie, so the account runs, and he
left this camp and went to that of
wade Co., near Piscola. The
Dixie negroes sent word to those at
the Wade camp that the negro
should be run off.
Two negroes named Lee and
Miles led in the assault on Williams
and the details as brought in by
white men are barbarous. The ne
gro was beaten almost to pulp
and 1t is said turpentine was then
poured over him and he was thrown
into swamp nearby and left for
dead, as was reported last week.
TWO days after the beating a
woods rider for the camp. a white
man, found the negro in the swamp
still alive. He had him removed to
a house and sent for a doctor, who
says the man may die. A Justice of
the peace court baliff arrested
some of the negroes concerned and
brought them in, but they were re-
leased on bond.

Shade Your Stock.

For the past several weeks ami
mails have suffered from the heat,
and there is little probability for
change Of conditions for weeks to
come. 1t is therefore the duty of
every animal owner to take steps
that will add to the comfort of the
dumb beasts under his care. An
atmosphere that is broiling will
trouble them considerably, and
when no shady place can be had
to keep them from the effects of
the scorching sun they will become
very restless. Horses can stand the
sun probably more than any other
animal, but, nevertheless, they
fully appreciate the shade Cows
become much harassed by the heat,
and show it largely in their milk
flow. 1t will be noticed, on the
evening of a hot day, that the sup
ply has fallen off, in many cases
decided decrease. The cows, too,
lose in condition. In young cattle
the depression is not so much no.
ticed, but notwithstanding, they
suffer equally. Sheep feel it inter
naily, and often pant and gasp for
breath. Pigs show their suffering
by becoming extremely unhappy,
and suffer greatly from scorched
skins. Excessive heat is a decided
disadvantage, and there is no get
ting away from it, as it will occur,
except in gaining relief in shady
places. So, then, 1t is important
that these be provided. - Fort Mill

Returned With Big Interest.

Returned With Big Interest.
Omaha, Neb., July /. - Fred T.
Redmond, a resident of North Plat
tie, year ago was approached by a
stranger who asked him for a loan
of 81.
The stranger explained that he
was broke, but figured that if he
could raise the money he could buy
a railroad ticket to a point where
work awaited him and would have
81 left. which, if invested judicious-
ly, would enable him to recoup his
fortunes.
MIR. Redmond laughed in the
strangers face at first and told him
he was not in the habit of lending
money.
The stranger pleaded so hard,
however, that Mr.. Redmond at last
gave him the 81, wished him good
luck and told his bookkeeper to
charge it to profit and loss
Recently Mr.. Redmond received a
certified check from the stranger for
,OO4-the 81 being the original
loan and the $1,000 the interest
which the borrower had figured on
the same.
