ESCAPES WITH WRONG TWIN
Planned to Wed Mary, But Took
Sister Betty by Mistake.

Capt Henry r. Edwards, of the
schooner May H., eloped from
Kent Island Monday night with
Miss Betty Harrison, daughter of
G. f. Harrison, a farmer who lives
near Annapolis, Ind.
Edwards spent his vacation last
summer at a house near that Of
the Harrisons, who had twin daugh-
ters. People living on the island
have often mistaken one of them
for the other and that was what
Edwards did when he landed Mon
day night. He landed from the
schooner intending TO elope with
Mary Harrison. He met Betty first,
and thinking she was Mary hurried
her off to parson and then aboard
a schooner.
The schooner is somewhere in
Chesapeake Bay, with Edwards and
his wife aboard, headed for Balti-
more, while Mary is mourning the
fate that leaves her a single wo-
man. 1t was reported last summer
that Betty was jealous of the atten-
tion paid her sister by Edwards,
and it is believed she learned Ed
wards was going to marry Mary,
and decided the best way to stop
1t was to marry him herself.

A Mixed Drink.

A cafe at Peoria which was
famous for its Pilsener, was own
ed by a Bohemian and conducted
actively by his son and nephew.
The old man seldom had occasion to
go behind the bar, or to deal direct
iy with the public in other ways.
One day, however, all hands were
out OF reach, when a man came
In to get a drink. To make the
situation acute he ordered a cock
tail.
The proprietor knew of such
things vaguely; but in place where
everybody came to drink Bohemian
beer cocktail had no place.
First he took a lemonade glass
and put some ice in it. Then he
poured from every bottle behind
the bar and set the mixture before
the customer.
There" he said, You have
everything but the license. Drink
it."-Chicago Evening Post.

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.
Clemson Expert Tells How it is
Best Done.-Don't Bank Twice
In Succession In Same Place.

During the past three years ex-
periments looking to the best
method of keeping sweet potatoes
have been carried on at the Expert
ment Station here. A careful study
has been made of the roots of pota-
toes, and the conditions under
which these roots thrive. We find
that the majority of the trouble in
keeping sweet potatoes comes from
the presence of disease on the po-
tatoes when they are brought into
the bank from the field. The black
rot and the stem rot, both of which
are very common throughout the
State, are primarily field diseases
They attack the underground por-
tlons of the plant while in the field
and cause black and scabby look
ing areas on the surface of the
tubers. When these potatoes are
dug and stored in banks or houses
these diseases spread through the
enIlre lot and cause the potatoes to
rot. The most important thing,
then, in connection with storing po-
taLoes is TO see that you have abso-
lutely healthy potatoes to begin
with. Where the crop is planted
from vines the potatoes are usu-
ally found 20 be very free from the
disease. For this reason il is we'll
to bank the potatoes grown from
vines separately from those grown
from slips. This is especially ad-
VlSaDle where you are not sure that
the potatoes grown from slips are
free from disease.
Potatoes which are free from dis
ease usually keep well when bank
ed in the ordinary way. Care should
be exercised TO keep the potatoes
from becoming chilled at any time;
The temperature in the bank should
not be allowed to go below SO de-
grees at any time during the win
ter. We find that where potatoes
are once thoroughly chilled, it is
almost impossible to keep them
The storage rots, such as the soft
and the dry rot both of which fire.
quently occur in stored potatoes,
make rapid headway on potatoes
when they are once chilled. Any
temperature below SO degrees will
chill the potatoes sufficiently to
enable these rots to get a start
Potatoes should never be banked
for two years in succession in the
same bank. The fungi which cause
the diseases in the field and the
will live over in these old banks
and will attack the new potatoes
as soon as they are stored. The
same soil and the same straw should
not be used for two years in sue
cession for covering the banks for
this same reason. Where potato
houses are used they should be
thoroughly cleaned out and the
walls and floors sponged and
sprayed with a per cent. solution
OF formaline or a 1 per cent. So
luton of blue stone before the po-
totoes are brought in. Where these
precautions have been followed we
nave experienced very little diff
Guilty in keeping sweet potatoes.

ESCAPED NEGRO CONVICT SHOT
Florence Deputy Shoots Negro
Whom He is Attempting to Ar
rest.

Florence, November 19.-Special:
John Williams, a negro convict, who
escaped from the Darlington county
chain gang, was shot and probably
fatally wounded by Mr.. John Wor-
rell, of Evergreen, who was assist
ing Rural Policeman Zehe in max
ing the arrest. The shooting took
place near Evergreen Friday af-
ternoon. 1t is stated that Zehe and
Worrell were attempting to arrest
Williams and that Williams, who
was afterward found to have a pis-
tol, attempted to draw his gun ON
Mr.. Worrell when Worrell got the
drop on him and brought him to.
At last accounts Williams was
still alive, but it is doubtful If he
will recover. Williams is a bad
negro with an unsavory reputation.
II he survives his wound he will
be carried to Darlington to complete
his job with the county.
