begorra, when it comes to talkin' of
kings and coronations. For there was
probably king of Ireland when Noah
was building his ark. There certainly
was one in 1900 Il. c. To be sure,
though. Ireland's ancient monarchs
mostly came to unhappy ends, either
dying of the plague. being assassinated
or killed in battle, says London An
swers
For instance, King Lughaidh, who
reigned in the second century. was
killed by being thrust through the eye
with spear during a conspiracy. His
successor, Feargus, was assassinated
by order of the next conner. Cormac-
Ulfhada, who. however, was merely
choled to death by fish bone at
supper.
"Slain by his successor indeed, was
the fate of very many Irish kings, but
of Congal Cionmaghair, who died in
G93, it is simply but eloquently re-
corded that he died suddenly" He
was a "cruel prosecutor of the Irish
church" In sos King Dathy was
killed by a thunderbolt, while King
Conner died Of grief in S37 And one
of the greatest of them all, the valiant
Brian Boroihme, was assassinated in
1914 while at prayer after he had de
feated the Danes at Clontarf

Many peculiar signatures in the

Only that and nothing more!
There is no surname. no address,
nothing at all but just ''wm."
This is the way il happened:
A well dressed man entered the no!

bags TO the desk. The register was

and pen handed him by the gentle
manly desk clerk. Then. in free.

The Maanetic Needle.

There are two places on the earth's
surface where the magnetic needle
must point due south They are not
easy places TO reach. One is in the
arctic regions north of the northern
magnetic pole, on the line between that
pole and the geographical north pole.
The other is in the antarctic regions,
south of the southern magnetic pole,
on the line between that spot and the
geographical south pole. In the first
case the point Of the needle is attract
ed to the northern magnetic pole. In
the second case the other end Of the
needle is attracted to the southern
magnetic pole.

BRAIN EXPOSED, MAN STILL
LIVES.
Hatchet Wound and Bullet I'm Head.
Trouble Near Camden.

Camden, April AS a result OF
family trouble and too much whiskey,
according TO the story told Of the af-
fair, Adolphus Kelly, who lives about
six miles from Blaney. on February
&c, threatened to kill all the persons
In his house. Brooks Cornwell, an
eighteen-year old boy. who is closely
related to Kelly attempted to stop
him. The story is that Kelly resented
1t and drew pistol and tried to shoot.
Cornwell grabbed a hatchet and with
mighty blow cut his head open, ex-
posing his brain. This blow did
not phase Kelly and he still tried to
shoot. Cornwell forced the pistol
against Kelly's head. and in the scuf-
tle IL went off, the ball going through
his forehead and lodged in the back
OF his head. Kelly still showed fight
and went into his room and secured
shot gun, and went through the
house hunting young Cornwell. Kelly 8
wife saw the condition that he was
In and begged him to lie down, which
he did. Kelly did not lose con-
seriousness and recognized All of his
farm hands that came to see him
that night. He was operated on the
same night. and has been lingering
since under the. care Of Drs. j. w.
Team, of Ridgeway; Grisby of Blaney
and Watson OF Columbia.
DR.. Team stated over phone this
afternoon that Kelly had been losing
ground for the past few days and
that he did not think that he could
last much longer. He said that a
piece OF brain as big as a hens egg
was protruding from the hatchet
wound and that 1t was impossible to
get II back in, and that his right
side was completely paralyzed. The
side Of his body opposite a brain
wound of this kind is where the
paralysis sets in according to state
ment of physicians.
The wounding of Mr.. Anderson. a
section master, which occurred here
last year Is similar to this. Mr.. An
derson was struck with an axe expos
ing the brain on one side Of the head
by one OF his negro laborers, and he
hovered between life and death for
several months. III was operated on
at hospital in Rock Hill, and Is now
able to walk around although partly
paralyzed on one side.
Cornwell says that Kelly has no
hard feelings towurcs him and that II
he lives there Will be no prosecution.
