TWO VERY FOOLISH MEN.
A Shooting Scrape Followed Politi.
cal Argument.

At Kingstree w. B. Stanton was
shot Tuesday afternoon by ]. E.
Pearce, the ball striking him in the
left side and ranging down into the
hip joint. At this writing it is not
possible to tell whether the wound
will prove serious or not. The men
are first cousins and both are farm
ers of good reputation in that coun-
ty. It seems that both parties had
been together and that the shooting
grew out of what at first was good
natured joking and guying each 9TH
er, as to political views. The State
campaign meeting was attended with
enthusiasm and feeling waxed warm.
Both men have families and the af-
fair is much regretted. Pearce has
been lodged in jail.

Frog Croaks i'm Woman's Stomach.

Washington, July GA live frog
that crawled and clawed and croak-
ed lived for nearly a year in the
stomach of Mrs. L. V. King, of Dean
wood.
After reducing the woman to liv-
ing skeleton the frog was finally ex-
tricated by physicians of the emer-
gency hospital with a large pump.
The frog is now preserved in alco-
hol. 1t measures, all told, about
seven inches.
AS a tadpole it was swallowed by
Mrs. King in we'll water last August.
Weeks passed before the woman real
lied there was some living creature
in her stomach. She consulted doc
tors, but they laughed at her.
Last spring the frog, now reaching
to it's full growth, began to climb
into her throat and nearly suffocated
her, and several times she tainted
with pain.
Two months ago, Mrs. King de-
clares, the frog began to croak. She
distinctly heard it many times and
her relatives bear her out. She came
to the emergency hospital here, and
the frog was pumped out of it's hid
ing place.
The frog lived ten minutes in a
tub of water. 1t croaked and sang
just like any Irregular frog" Then
it died.
According to physicians this is the
first time on record that any creature
of the proportions Of this frog has
ever lived in a human stomach for
the period of II months.

Mans Danger Age.

Without doubt every man in the
world decided when he. heard there
was danger age for women that his
wife had reached it, and took some
pleasure in telling her so.
Lysander John Appleton proved to
his own satisfaction that the danger
age for women covers all the time
between the ages Of his wife and
daughter and took an owl-lihe de-
light in telling them so.
Even a woman of the fair sex will
turn, and Mrs. Appleton and Daysey
Mayme turned simultaneously, with
the discovery that all time is the
danger age for man, and wrote their
conclusions in gold and red, had
them framed and hung in Lysander
Johns room.
Now, when he dresses, when he
ShaveS, when he turns to look out
for better view of pretty woman
who is passing, when his eyes search
wildly for help when he is working
with his collar button-on every oc-
casion incident to a mans stay in
his room-he sees things said in red
and gold on his wall that make him
squirm, and cause him to leave the
room three inches shorter than when
he entered it.
And these are the reasons:
Every year of a male creatures
life is the danger age, because:
''The day he puts on trousers he
also puts on an air of superiority to
the sex that doesn't wear them, and
this air of superiority blinds him to
his own imperfections. Hence, he
never gets over them.
"As youth he is so proud of him
self it is a wonder he doesn't shut
himself up in barn and charge the
people two pins each to see him.
This belief that he is worth price
of admission never leaves MIN.
He falls in love with girl be-
cause of her good looks, and claims
after marriage that because she isn't
capable housewife he was deceived.
"He is as popular when young
man as the only dog in an orphan
asylum, and makes the dangerous
mistake of thinking that after he is
married his popularity will continue.
when a book agent tells him he
is an important parsonage he is so
pleased with the book agents pow
ers of discernment that he will buy
anything offered. And every debt
of instalment he pays is only AT
other proof of his conceit. Fran.

Insufficiently Described.

A woman had lost a handbag. At
ter Odyssean wanderings from one
official to another she was ushered in
to the janitor's Office.

bag found upstairs was s-turned in to
you. Is it here?'

Since the hand bag had been only
one of million black bags sold in

straightway into an enumeration OF

book, a purse containing the losers
name and address and money, "a
sample of silk, keys and a bunch OF
envelopes.
He put her through a catcchism
that compelled repeated description
of the lost treasures, and at the end
he said:

MURDERED IN BRUTAL MANNER
Child of ~ Years Slashed to Pieces.
No Clue to Murderer.

New York, July Julia Corners,
a 12-year-old girl, was murdered IN a
fiendish manner early to-day, her
body, bearing 36 wounds, evidently
made by a stilleto, but still with a
breath of life, was found in a vacant
lot in the Bronx The child died
without having regained enough to
identify her slayer further than the
statement that ''he was man"
The girl was one of the four chill
dren of Edward Corners, who lived
nearby.
Saturday afternoon she visited
Croton, park, but suddenly disap-
peared. Her parents and school
chums kept up an all-night search
without success. The child's little
body was literally slashed to pieces.
1t was nude except for the fact that it
was wrapped in worn skirt. The
hair had been cut off. One of the sc

throat was also partly cut and a stab
in the back had pierced the lungs.
Late tonight the police said they
had definitely established the fact
that the attack on the girl was made
in a vacant apartment on the second
floor of a house beside the lot IL
which the girl was found.
Evidence in the bath room OF the
apartment leads the police to the be-
lief that here Julia was murdered
The bath tub was blood smeared ano
on the floor were found quantitie:

But with all these marks of the trag

Prominent Attorney Faces Recorder

Atlanta, July Al. J. Boswell
one of the most widely known police
court lawyers in Atlanta, himself
faced the recorder yesterday after
noon on the charge of stealing hay
from a neighbor.
Boswell admitted that he was in
his neighbor's hay, but interposed
the unique defense that he was there
only to gather some eggs which his
own hens had laid on his neighbor'
premises.
Boswell was bound over to the
criminal court on the charge of lar
ceny from the house. Immediately
after making bond, he appeared in
the same court as the attorney for
the defense in the cases of two ne
groes charged with vagrancy. Both
negroes were found guilty.

YEGGMEN NABBED IN COLUMBIA
Men Charged with Burglary Excite
Suspicion of Police.

Columbia, July o.-Charged WITH
breaking into the store Of the Cope
land Clothing Company last night,
two white men, giving their names s.s
John Bell and John Quinn, were ar
rested by the police to-day as they
were endeavoring to make their way
to the depot. Three suit cases which
the strangers were carrying were
seized, and it is said in them were
found most of the articles missing
from the store, including seven suits
of clothing, six suits of underwear
with extra garments, underclothes of
all kinds and descriptions, socks, silk
ties, all amounting to s213.25 worth
of goods. The police say in one suit
case was found a gear drill, with
equipment, a heavy steel hammer
and steel saw, used in cutting
through iron bars, all leading the
city police to the opinion that they
have bagged notorious yeggmen. Two
razors and a pistol were found in
another suit case.
The back door of the store of the
Copeland Clothing Company was
found open this morning when the
clerks opened up and articles to the
value of over 5000 missing. A re-
port was at once made to the police
and they investigated carefully. 1t
was told Detective Richardson by a
negro hackman that he had been en-
gagged to carry three suit cases TO
the depot this morning and described
the men. The hackman was told 10
proceed, and following out this clue
the officers secured a machine and
came up with the men and took them
in tow and also secured the grips.
The men claimed that they had
been promised $50 by man to de-
liver the suit cases to the depot, but
they were unable to give his name.
1t is believed that the names Quinn
and Bell are fictitious, for the one
who gave the name of Quinn had on
his person marriage certificate,
showing that man named Pool had
been married in Columbia several
years ago. Post cards found on their
persons also indicated that the names
they gave might be one of several.
There was also found in the prison
ers' suit case a dozen or more rings,
a new gold chain and pendant, none
of which has been identified and all
of which has aroused the suspicious
of the police.
Only a few days ago the Way of
Faith Office was entered and robbed
and around some of the tools in the
prisoners grips was wrapped some
paper corresponding to paper in the
Way of Faith Office, all of which
leads the police to believe that the
two men are connected with that af-
fair. Chief Cathcart and the police
questioned the prisoners closely and
they were locked up.
They will be given a preliminary
examination before Magistrate Fowl
es tomorrow morning.

MONEY IN POTATOES.
Anderson Man Will Make 200 Bush
els on One Acre.

els On One acre.
Mr.. ]. R. Miller brought to the city
Thursday probably the first four
horse load of country-raised Irish po-
tatoes ever sold here. He disposed
of them easily and could sell several
hundred bushels at fair price. He
sold his potatoes to the grocers.
Mr.. Miller planted about an acre
of Irish Cobbler potatoes, and will
sell at least $50 bushels. Besides
what he keeps for his own use. The
total yield will be something over
200 bushels.
But that is not all of the story. He
has corn planted in the middle of
the potato rows that is now knee
high, four inches apart, in the best
of condition, and he is going to try
for record yield. Mr.. Miller says he
is going to try to clear $3.50 on that
acre, and if his corn turns out well
he is likely to do So The total ex-
penses, including the remainder of
the work of cultivating the corn, will
be in the neighborhood of $50.
In this connection it might be stat
ed that Irish potatoes are being ship
ped to this market in large quanti-
ties, and the price is high for this
season of the year. If more farmers
had had Mr.. Miller's foresight they
could have made nice sum of money
besides keeping at home the money
that is being sent away for this i'm
portant article of food.-Anderson
