FORCES REAPPEAR.

Porgies are again found off the Maine coast. The first fare landed in Portland in many years was brought in recently. There were only twenty-four barrels, but the fact that they were porgies was of enough sig niticance in itself. These fish have been so rare in Maine waters that mo- body seemed to know just when the last ones were brought in.
 Years ago was about the only re- ply the older fish dealers could give. There was a time when the porgies were so plentiful that hundreds of barrels could be taken in few hours. Then they dropped off and the busi- ness of extracting porgie's oil fell off to almost nothing in these parts. Their appearance seems to be gen. cral along the whole New England coast. Up off Gloucester the fish are so plentiful that there is fleet of l5 steamers engaged in catching them. They are, rather, trying to catch them, for the porgies are wild and have no inclination to be taken in the nets.-Lewiston Journal.

EDITOR WAS AFTER MONEY
Thought He Saw More in Sight Than Could Be Made Through the
 Profits of An Ad.

While in a small town in Indiana few years ago Booth Tarkington had the misfortune to lose two val uable bird dogs. Thinking to ex- pedite their return, he went at once to the office of the one newspaper in the town, where upon his inquiring for the editor he was informed by the sleepy, tousle-headed office boy that the editor was out. He then left with the boy description of his pets with an alluring offer of $50 for their return, and after giving ex- picit instructions as to the position he wished the "ad." to occupy, he de- parted.
 Anxious to know whether the office boy had impressed the editor with the seriousness of the matter, he re- turned to the office few hours later and was again greeted by the boy, who, the only occupant of the room, was perched on stove dreamily gazing out the window.
 "Where's the editor ?" asked Tark- ington.
 The hcy leaned over and spat out fhe window, then slowly turned to the author.
 "He's gone out tuh hunt de dogs" he said.-Cosmopolitan.

HUNTING RATTLERS PROFITABLE

Rattlesnake hunting is becoming popular form of occupation in this county and number of the residents within the past month have made tidy sum capturing rattlers.

Sheriff Not Guilty.

Barnwell, Dec. AT a late hour
last night the jury in the case of the
State against Sheriff Frank H.
Creech, charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill, returned a
verdict of not guilty. On the after
noon of August 5, at the Southern
depot, Sheriff Creech fired his pistol
to stop buggy in which John and
Barney McLemore and Frank Grubbs
were riding, after his command to
halt had been disregarded. The
ball passed through the coat sleeve
of Barney McLemore and lodged in
Johns leg. The sheriff was attempt
ing to seize an alleged shipment of
whiskey. The verdict of. the jury
was not unexpected by those who
heard the testimony. AS this was the
last case to be tried by the court of
general session a night session was
held in order to finish it up and al
low the jurors to depart for their
homes.

MAY RESTORE SERVICE.
Congressman Byrnes Urges Postmas-
ter General to Do So.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Congress-
man Byrnes to-day took up with
Postmaster General Hitchcock the
matter of having the mail agent
placed on the afternoon train from
Augusta to Port Royal and Beaufort
on the Charleston & Western Caro-
lima railroad. Until recently trains
carrying the mail from Augusta to
Beaufort and other points along the
line left Augusta in the afternoon.
When, however, a morning train was
placed in operation the mail agent
vas taken off the afternoon train.
The result of this is that morning
mail out of Columbia and elsewhere
does not reach it's destination until
the next day, because the train from
Augusta passes the junction point be-
fore the one from Columbia reaches
there.
Mr.. Byrnes explained the matter
at length to Mr.. Hitchcock and told
him the hardship it was proving to
the citizens of Columbia and other
places. He believes the postoffice de-
partment will remedy the situation
by placing the mail agent back on the
afternoon train.

BOY "INDIAN" KILLS SISTER.
Gun Left Too Handy by Father
Child Tragedy Results.

Lewisburg, Pa, Dec. 9.-Shoot-
ing at his 3-year-old sister, Mary,
while playing Indian, Harry Bickel,
aged 7, almost instantly killed the
child at Mazejja, six miles east OF
here.
The tragedy was the result of their
father, William Bickel, leaving a
loaded gun on the back porch on re-
turning from a hunt. Discovering
the weapon, while Bickel was at the
barn hitching the horse to take the
children to school, Harry suggested
to his sister that they play Indian.
The little girl, who was in the house,
agreed, and placed herself on guard
at a window.
Gradually getting closer to the
window, the boy discharged the gun,
the contents striking his sister in
the face badly mangling it,

Three Negroes Burned by Mob.

Memphis, Dec. 6.-TWo negroes
and one young negress were burned
to death by a mob of white land
tenants who objected to the occu-
pancy of land by colored people, near
Savannah, Tenn, yesterday, accord
ing to meager reports received here
to-day. The lynching is said to have
occurred 10 miles from Clifton,
Tenn. in the vicinity of Bob's Land
ing.
The three negroes were travelling
to a gin with a load of seed cotton.
They were waylaid, held up and tied
to the wagon load of cotton, it is
said, and the mob after building a
fire beneath the wagon stood guard
until the wagon was consumed. The
negroes team consisted of two mules.
One animal was permitted to burn
to death, according to the reports
received at Savannah, while the other
was shot to end it's misery.

TiIlman Refuses Claimants Demand.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Till
man, of South Carolina, declared to-
day he would not let any Washington
cabman impose on him; and when it
comes to making rates for traffic from
the postofice to the White House he
intends to be his own interstate COM

The senator arrived at the White

er dilapidated cab. AS he stepped
out he turned to the driver and hand
ed him quarter. The cabman look
ed at the quarter and then at the
senator.
THE rate is fifty cents he said.
"What?' said Senator Tillman,
"do you mean to say it is fifty cents
from the postoffice to the White
House?"
"Yes, sir" said the cabby.
You can look at the rates inside
for yourself. -
"Well,' said Senator Tillman, 1T
is too much and 1 won't pay it, and
walked into the White House office.
The cabman turned away laughing,
but kept the quarter.

They ''Need the Money"

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 6.-Twelve
University of Pennsylvania medical
students who need the money
have put their bodies in the care OF
the United States Government for
experimental purposes and formed an
eating squad which meets morning,
noon and evening to eat government
food, prepared with different kinds
of alum, in order to test the effect
it will have on their systems.
The experiments are being carried
out by DR.. Alonzo E. Taylor, of the
Ramsen Board, assisted by fourteen
government chemists. The squad
has been eating alum for some time
and shows no ill effects. It's mem
bers will continue on the govern
ment's diet until June. The members
of the squad receive their board and
IS a week.
The danger of being injured by the
food amounts to practically nothing,
as each man is watched by DR.. Al
fred Stengle, the physician appoint
ed by the government to watch out
for the men. They are examined al
most daily.
The results of the experiments
will not be known for a year.

No Liquors Served for President Taft

By his total abstinence President
Taft has aided very materially in
creating a sentiment against serving
wines at public functions. The
following from an exchange shows
that through Difference for the presi-
dent wines were not served at two
banquets given in his honor while
on his western tour:
1.-TWO banquets attended by Presi-
dent Taft on his recent Western trip
underwent changes in the programs
in respect to the presence OF intoxl-
eating liquors on the table after plans
had been arranged by those in charge
of the spread. In st. Louis the in
toxicants were taken off the menu
because the Presbyterian ministers of
the city insisted that it would be dis
courteous to permit them before the
plate of a totally abstaining guest.
In Pittsburg, the plans originally con-
templated a banquet in a hotel, at
which wine was to be served, but the
magnitude of the dinner made neces-
sary the use of the Soldiers Memo
rial hall, and the county commission
ers, who have charge of. that build
ing. directed that no liquor should
be brought into it.

DARLINGTON AND YOUNG IN JAIL
Former Seminole Officers Met at
Train by Richland Sheriff.

Columbia, Dec. 6.-John Y. Gar
lington and James Stobo Young are
reposing in the Richland county jail
tonight, having reached here from
Laurens at midnight over the c., N.
and L. They were met at the train
by Sheriff Coleman and taken at once
to the Richland county Jail. AS soon
as the commitment is made out by
the clerk of court they will be placed
in the penitentiary to begin their SEN
tences of three years and one year re-
spectively. 1t is presumed that the
commitment will be issued in the
morning and that by noon both Gar
lington and Young will be numbered
among the inmates at the State peni-
tentiary.
Messrs. Christie Benet and R. E.
Carwile, two of the counsel. who de-
Tended the prisoners at their trial,
were at the train when it arrived and
accompanied them to the jail. The
party made five, the journey from
the depot to the jail being on foot.
Both Darlington and Young shook
hands with the sheriff and the attor-
neys when they alighted from the
train and seemed to be not in the
least perturbed.

Resents Action of Connecticut.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 9.-Fitzhugh
McMaster, State Insurance Commls-
sioner, gave to the press to-day ad-
vance copies of a section from his
forthcoming annual report to the
general assembly, in which he recon-
mends that South Carolina put on
notice all States which may have
such ''insulting statutes as GER
tain law of Connecticut that these
statutes must be blotted out, or that
after a given time South Carolina
shall refuse to grant any franchise
to a corporation from that State to
do business in South Carolina"
"Retaliatory legislation" says the
commissioner, "savors of the meth
DDS of the highwayman and is not
recommended. But with dignity one
State may decline dealing with an
other which wantonly and unjustif1-
ably impugns the integrity of her
promises4o pay by a statutory enact
ment, because, forsooth, at one time
scalawags from other sections of the
country united with renegades and
negroes in South Carolina, and, sus-
tained in power by military, issued
fraudulent bonds and unloadcd them
on willing takers in the sections from
which the scalawags came.
Reference is had to statute OF
Connecticut forbidding savings banks
to invest in State, county or munich
pal bonds of several States south of
the Mason and Dixon line.

Mystery Over Shooting.

Franklin, N. c., Dec. 9.-There
have been no developments of import
ance in the shooting affair which oc-
Cured at Vests Mill, this county,
Thursday night, when former State
Senator w. J. Vests daughter and
her sweetheart, Perry Morrison,
were shot. Vests objections to Nor
rison paying attention to his daugh-
ter brought on the quarrel which re-
suited in the gun play. West claims
that Morrison shot the girl and he
shot Morrison in defense of his
daughter. Morrison says that West
shot both of them. Owing to these
contradictory statements and the
fact that no other evidence has come
out, the authorities have made no
arrests.
1t now appears that Morrison's
mother was somewhere in the build
ing when the shooting occurred, but
she has made no statement and there
is a noticeable reticence on the part
of all those who may throw light on
the circumstances surrounding the
affair.
Both Morrison and the girl receiv-
ed two wounds and their condition
has been critical since then. Accord
ing to the statements of physicians
and attendants, there is little pros
pect for the recovery of either of
the injured parties.

COURT ASKED TO STOP RACING.
Move Against Promoters of Meet at
Columbia.

Columbia, Dec S.-A rule to show
cause why permanent injunction
should not be granted against the
Columbia Racing Association and the
State Agricultural Society, on the
grounds of maintaining public
nuisance, was signed here this after
noon by Chief Justice Jones, and was
made returnable next Wednesday
morning, December 13, before the
supreme court, at 10 o'clock. The
order was issued on motion of At
torney General Lyon. This is the as
sociation now holding racing meet
here at the State fair grounds.
Motion of Attorney General.
Upon motion of Attorney General
Lyon, Chief Justice Jones has grant
ed an order citing the Columbia Rae
ing Association and the South Caro-
lima Agricultural and Mechanical So
ciety, and sundry individuals con-
nected with the racing meet on the
State fair grounds, to show cause
why an Injunction should not be is
sued against them, collectively and
severally,> for maintaining common
nuisance in connection with the
races. The allegations presented by
the attorney general set up, upon af-
fidavits of responsible parties, that
betting and gambling is carried on,
on a large scale, in connection with
the races.
Doesn't Stop Races.
The order is not a temporary in
junction and does not have the ef-
feet of restraining the conduct Of the
races at this time. The order is re-
turnable before the supreme court
on next Wednesday, December 13,
1911, at 10 a. m. It is understood
that among those making afidavits
upon which the action of the attor-
ney general is, based are Messrs.
James A. Hoyt, editor and general
manager of the Daily Record; Nc
David Horton, managing editor, and
J. E. Brunson, reporter for the same
paper; R. Beverly Herbert, w. j.
Ashburn and others.
If the injunction should be grant
ed by the court the order will put
a stop to the race meet at Columbia
and also very probably prevent the
establishment of the permanent race
meet at Charleston, scheduled to be-
gin next month.
Record not Available.
Attorney General Lyon had no
statement to make and the petition
and affidavits in the matter were not,
available for inspection.
The Columbia Racing Association
officers are: A. N. Elrod, manager;
Hart Dernham, racing secretary, with
E. Hall, assistant; P. A. Brady, pre-
siding judge; Harvey White, paddock
Judge; C. E. Duhaim, chief of detec-
tives, and Charles j. Lynch, local
promoter. It is stated that the rule
to show cause will be served on all
these and also on the bookmakers
and layers.

Submitted Without Argument.

It is said that one Of David B.
Hills first law suits was a non-jury
case, in which the opposing counsel
was one of the best attorneys in New
York State. Hill gave a speech
which lasted about three hours. 1t
was such a speech as might be ex-

was very trying to the court. After
he had finished his opponent arose
and said: MAY it please the court,

Young friend, and submit the case
without argument" Hill lost the
case.
