BANKS RELEASED ON BOND.
Lexington Shooting Case May be Set
tied Out of Court.

Lexington, Jan. 21.-W. Lee
Banks, the white man who has been
in Jail here for several weeks charg-
ed with the shooting of his only son,
Troy Banks, while in a drunken rage
several weeks ago, was to-day re-
leased from custody, bail having been
granted in the sum Of $500 by Magis-
trate F. Pierce Shealy. The names
of J. P. Ethredge and s. S. shealy
appear as sureties on the bond.
Accompanying the release is an af-
fidavit from DR.. L. A. Riser, the at
tending physician and who Banks is
alleged to have assaulted when the
physician was called in to attend the
injured boy, to the effect that the
young man is now able to be up and
will recover with good attention.
It is thought that an effort is be-
ing made to settle the case out of the
courts, although no announcement
from Solicitor Zimmerman to that
effect has been made.
Banks left for his home at Lees
vile on the afternoon train, declar-
ing that he was forever done with
liquor and that he intended to re-
form.

Broken. Neck Healed.

New Orleans, Jan. 19.-One OF
the most remarkable cases on record
of recovery from broken neck was
announced complete at the charity
hospital here yesterday when plas-
ter was removed from the neck of
Phillip Hoffman, boy IA years old,
and an x-ray photograph showed the
vertebrae to have perfectly knitted.
Last summer the boy, after wit
Messing a circus, attmpted to turn a
backward somersault as he had seen
the acrobats do. He landed on his
neck, breaking the second and third
cervical vertebrae
A plaster cast was placed about
the neck after the vertebrae had
been "set" and the lad has been
guarded every minute since to pre-
vent him breaking the cast. When
it was taken off yesterday and the
photograph made showing the YER
tebrae to have knitted, young
Hoffman was permitted to turn his
head and nod. He suffered no pain
and is apparently as sound and well
as before the accident.

She Solved the Sand Problem.

William H. Berry, recent Demo
cratic candidate for governor, told
this story the other day to employees
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
illustrative of one of the points in a
speech he sought to bring out with
emphasis.
MARY and Charley went down to
Atlantic City together to spend the
day. They went in bathing in the
afternoon, Charley was first on the
beach, and rolling in the sand, after
his first dip, when Mary appeared
"Charley jumped up as Mary ap-
preached, dressed in pink, and said
with all the ardor of his pent-up af-
fection:
".Gee, you're so sweet I could kiss
you!"
"'Why don't you?" the girl re-
torted.
"sWell, because I have some sand
in my mouth, stammered the bash
full youth.
"'Swallow that sand this minute
and come kiss me- the girl ordered.
If 1 guess right you need some of
that sand in your system "-Phila-

Mountaineering Fad.

Whistling girls and Growing hens
may come to bau end in Washing
ton, but they don't care if they do.
If you can't whistle or are not
learning to whistle, you must hunt
some nice man to teach you how. The
nicer the man the longer it takes to
learn.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth started
the fad and is doing great work IN
keeping it up. She whistles in the
streets, in her automobile or on her
shopping tours. The honk-Eonk and
the electric bell on Mrs. Longworth's 8
automobile are getting rusty from
lack of use. When she reaches
crosswalk she whistles and pedestri-
ans make a dash for safety.

WOMAN IDENTIFIED.
Mother and Father Recognize Their
Long Lost Daughter

Martha Cain, known for the past
twenty-five or thirty years years as
Lizzie Lewis by her compatriots in
John Robinson's big show, was iden-
tilted by the mother and father OF
o. D. Cain, as their long lost daugh-
ter, who was stolen during the exhi-
bition of that circus in this city many
years ago. The girl was identified
BY her parents as soon as she arrived
at their home some distance from
this city Wednesday. The two old
people we're overcome with JOY at
having at last found their daughter.
The story Of the kidnapping and
the miraculous finding Of the girl
by her brother, O. D. Cain, a local
mail carrir have all been repeated
several times, and as result, up
on the arrival of the girl in this
city from Oklahoma, where the cir
Gus is now wintering, many per-
sons called to see her, both white
and colored, who were curious to
learn if she really was the missing
girl. All members of her family
were greatly overjoyed at her return
but perhaps none are so pleased as
the brother who resides in this city,
and through whose efforts the girl
has been returned to her family.
No words of censure have fallen
from the lips of the kidnapped girl
against the owners of the big show
with which she has Travelled ever
since she was able to take part in
the exhibitions. She would not hear
to the suggestion that suit be enter
ed against the circus, for she says
they have done a good part by her,
having sent her to school when she
was young, and cared for her in the
best manner at all times. When she
was large enough to travel with the
show, she started out with the out
fit and has been with them ever
since.
She says that she is pleased be-
yond expression at having found
some kinpeople in this world, but
that her environment has been such
that she could not be conrented to
a quiet life now, and she has there
fore determined to continue to travel
with the circus but to spend the
idle seasons at home with her peo-
ple.-Orangeburg Evening News.

Many Bales of Cotton Burn.

Orangeburg, Jan. 19.-One of, the
most disastrous fires that has visited
this city in a number of years took
place this afternoon when the Peo-
ple's cotton warehouse was burned,
containing over 1000 bales of cotton.
The cotton in this warehouse was
owned largely by John Cart, promi-
nent cotton buyer of this city. The
rest of the cotton was stored in Mr..
Carts warehouse by other persons,
for whom Mr.. Cart is warehouseman.
The loss entailed upon Mr.. Cart is,
in all probability covered by insur-
ance, as between $4,000 and $70,-
900 insurance was carried on this
cotton. There will very likely be 8
large salvage, as it is thought nearly
one-third of the cotton will be saved.
There was nearly LOO bales of cot
ton in the warehouse at the time of
the fire.
The fire fighting of the local fire
companies was excellent, as the large
reservoir of the Standard Oil COM
pany was within 20 feet of the burn
ing building, while the Southern Cot
ton Oil company's plant and the
Orangeburg Cotton Manufacturing
plant were in close proximity. The
warehouse was a large brick build
ing with metal roof. The' origin OF
the fire is not known. the fire being
under great headway when discov-
cred.
The fire companies are still hard at
work extinguishing the burning cot
ton, which will probably take all
night. Chief Dibble and his loyal CO.
workers will remain at their posts
until the fire is subdued.

False Witness.

There are people who would not
steal a pin, would not hurt a house
fly, would not take spoonful of in
toxicating liquor for a beverage, but
who think nothing of robbing a man
of his good name, sticking the knife
of scandal into a neighbor's neck,
and passing around bottle of libel
GUS drink about an absent human
brother. Here is vice to which
good people are addicted. "Thou
shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor," deserves a place
among the notices that hang on
walls of societies, at street corners,
and in homes and hearts.-Ex.
