GRANGER VOTE ALL POWERFUL

f ~
Washington. June Is. Reciprocity
with Canada received 9 pretty thorough
ventilation in Congress during the week
preceding the Chicago Convention, but
while IL is possible some Of the talk was
for political effect, the Congressional

farming sections Of the United States;

that the President. but for his deter

Followed the Big Noise.

A Scotch story is that of diminu-
tive drummer in a local brass band
who was in the habit when out parad-
ing with his comrades Of walking by
sound and not by sight, owing to his
drum being so high that he was un-
able to see over it. The band, on
Saturday afternoons, paraded usu-
ally in one direction; but the other
day the leader thought he would
change the route a little, and turned
down a by-street. The drummer, un-
aware of this movement, kept on his
accustomed way, drumming as hard
as ever he could. By and by, after
finishing his part, and not hearing the
others he stopped, and. pushing his
drum to one side, he looked to see
what was the matter. His astonish-
ment may be imagined at finding that
he was alone.
"Hae!" he cried to some bystan-
ders, has any O. zee see a bano
hereabouts?" - Philadelphia Tele'

"But in some way the stamp fell
out of his fingers and on the floor. 1t
happened to light on the back of a

AS he watched it the stamp began
to climb the legs of the table, then
suddenly it went right off into the
air. Johnson sat still for NOM Mt.

SENT UP FOR ARSON.
CoIored Parties Given Fifteen Years
by Judge Memminger.

Laurens, Sept. 15.-The fall term
of general sessions court for this
county adjourned Saturday after
noon, after being in session five days
and disposing of a considerable
amount of work.
One of the cases of most general
interest was that of the State VS. Al
vim Woody and Essie Vaughn, both
colored, charged with arson. This
was the last case of the court, the
trial of which consumed the greater
part of yesterday. The case was
given to the jury at o'clock, and
after deliberating about an hour a
verdict Of guilty with recommends
ton to mercy was returned, as to
both, and the court sentenced each
to serve a term of Is years. On the
night of March 20, Mr.. w. L. league,
who lives eight miles south OF the
CITY. lost his barn and stock and a
considerable amount of produce by
fire. Following an investigation OF
the fire by B. A. Wharton, deputy OF
fcer of the insurance department OF
South Carolina, Woody and the Wo-
man, Essie Vaughn, were arrested,
charged with the burning. Ths
theory of the State, as developed by
the testimony, was that the torch was
applied by the man at the instigatlon
of the woman, evidence being offered
to show the relations between the
two, and the State advancing as a
motive evidence that the woman had
said that Mr.. league had helped put
her husband, Marshall Vaughn, on
the chain gang; that Mr.. league had
some money, stock and buildings,
but they wouldn't do him any good.
The fire occurred few days after the
conviction of Essies husband. The
evidence of the State included state
ments of the defendants testified to
by Messrs. Wharton and league. 9th
er statements and the conduct of the
defendants were also placed in the
evidence. No direct confession was in
troduced, all the testimony being OF
circumstantial nature.
Because of the illness of Solicitor
Cooper, Messrs. R. E. Babb and Jno.
NJ. Cannon conducted the prosecution
in this case.
Before adjourning the court Judge
Memminger sentenced Eugene Day.
enport to term of seven years, the
defendant having been convicted
Friday of manslaughter. Davenport
is a negro and killed another of his
race last Christmas.

After Merry Chase With Father and
Officers, Couple are Married.

Bristol, Tenn, Sept. 11.-Arthur
Hagy, %, and Miss Myrtle Moore,
l6, were married at Johnson City,
Tenn, to-day following sensational
elopement Monday night young
Hagy drove to the girls home in an
automobile, expecting to steal ner
out, but she had been locked up and
her father, who was in hiding, open
ed fire on Hagy as he crept under
the girls window. Hagy fled and in
so doing returned the fire. To-day
young Hagy sent an automobile party
to Liberty Hall school and they sue
ceeded in getting the girl into the
car. The alarm was given and an
officer at Abingdon, Va, undertook
to stop Hagy's automobile but was
unable to do so until he had shot
through one of the tires. Hagy ar
rived on the scene about this time
and began firing. The girl had been
transferred to another vehicle some
miles back and upon learning this
Hagy left the officer in charge OF
the car he had halted and which no
supposed contained the missing girl.
The ruse was complete. The couple
made their escape and were married
at Johnson City.

SCIENTIFIC TRICK FOR BOYS
How to Perform Apparently ImpossI.
BILE feat Of Making Match Hold
Up Bottle.

Perhaps some Of our boys and girls
have not learned how to take advan'
tage of great scientific principle, the
operation of which win enable them
TO do the apparently impossible feat
of making match hold up bottle
which hangs over the edge Of a mantel
or shelf of any sort
This is how the thing is done. Tie a
string around the neck of the bottle,
then tie the two ends together IN
such a way that soop win be left
for the insertion of match. Place
one end of the match on a shelf;
slip the loop over the other end. then
place that end on top of the cork
of the bottle. You win find that with a
little adjustment/of the end of the
match that II rests on the shelf, what
is called center OF gravity will be
established and the bottle win hang
at a slight angle. supported only By
the match and string.
