MILE CHRISTINE,
FAMED TWINS WITH
ONE BODY, DEAD

WILMINGTON, y. C., Oct TO-
Death has claimed Mile and Christine,
the famous MilHe- Christine twins.
Christine survived her sister by few
hours
The twins had the same body, but
mad two heads and two sets of lower
limbs. They died at their home near
Wilmington. They could talk to them
selves or could carry on conversations
with others at the same time. While
one was asleep the other would be
awake, but as a rule they went to sleep
at the same time. They had been all
over this country and in Europe and
Canada.

An Enjoyable Fish Fry.

On Saturday last Mr. w c Wilson
and a number of his friends enjoyed
fish fry at Wilson's lake, three
miles below Indiantown church.
Before sunrise fine marmouth,
Dream and trout were being caught,
and by dinner time sufficient guam
tity had been landed to furnish a
feast. (Oh, pity the poor Indian
who roamed the forest primeval'
but had no frying pan or hogs lard) &.
And such fish as only the rock bot
toned, high bluffed Wilson's lake
affords. Justice was surely done to
the princely spread, for appetites
were sharpened by long rides, and
good will and jolly hea' IS sat around
the board.
One young fisherman was so agi-
tated over catching a colossal mud
fish that his companions thought he
had hooked sturgeon which by
some hap had gotten into the lake.

did support which you gave me in
the recent primary. | appreciate
the handsome vote received and feel
assured that the people of the coun-
ty will endorse my candidacy on
next Tuesday, the day of the second

were started by enemies of mine to
injure me, but | rely upon the
friendship and confidence of those
who known to refute these er-
roneous reports and stamp as false
hoods the dirty lies which l under
stand are being circulated.
For the past two years | have
served the county and if reelected
could do much more effective work.
At Morrisville my opponent stated
that he would repeal the law we en-
acted for the protection of our
farmers by stopping the traffic in
seed cotton. This act, in my opin-
ion, should not be repealed. The
traffic in seed cotton caused more
labor troubles during the harvest
than any other one cause. Let US
stand by this law and make it eff
fective.

lature l supported the measure

The Kingstree-Manning Road.

Realizing the continued necessity
for the improvement of the roads
leading into Kingstree from busi-
ness standpoint, the attention of all
interested in the campaign for good
roads is called to the fact that the
public.highway leading from Kings
tree to Manning, over Black river,
is perhaps in worse condition than
any principal highway in the county.
The road is in very good condition
for about three or four miles out of
Kingstree, but from that distance on
to the Clarendon county line is in
bad shape, being very sandy. At
tention is also called to the fact that
for four or five miles beyond the
county lire it is nearer to Kingstree
than to Manning, and if this road
were in good shape, Kingstree
would naturally get lots of trade
that is going to Manning. That is
a great tobacco country and the ben
eft to Kings.ree from the increased
tobacco sales alone would warrant
the cost Of the improvements need

among the business men of Kings
tree and the farmers interested the
latter part of this week, and it is
hoped that sufficient money will be
subscribed to put this road in good
shape. CITIZEN.

BIG YEARIN SIGHT FOR SOUTH.
South Carolina Merchant In Bal
fimore Talks of Conditions.

Every one of the many hundred
Southern merchants who are Vlslt-
ing Baltimore this week and buying
a large fall and winter supply is pre-
dieting that the coming season Will
be the most prosperous to them and
the farmers of their section IN the
last quarter of century. lhougn
the Presidential election comes dur
ing the height of the season, all
state that they have no fear OF 1t
hurting business.
In speaking of the expected IN
crease in business, says the baltl-
more American, a prominent mer-
chant from South Carolina stated
that the price of cotton would not
drop lower than II cents, thus leaV-
ing the merchants and farmers plen-
tv of room for a large profit. In
former years cotton could reach the
low price of eight cents and still
leave both the merchant and farmer
a big profit, but in the course OF the
last few years the price of labor has
increased, the cost of rations for the
help has increased, and so the price
of cotton must remain around II or
l2 cents so as to allow both a big
profit.

A SUBCOMMITTEE
Will PROBE DEEP,
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF
PRIMARY ELECTION FRAUDS
TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY.

A committee of seven, to probe
Haefarges of fraud in the recent pri-
Nnary election, to take testimony,
examine witnesses, have charge of
all club rolls, poll lists and all re-
cords and, in short, to act for the
full committee, in an exhaustive in
/ vestigation into charges of fraud
irregularities growing out OF
- recent primary election, was
adopted by the State Democratic
{ executive committee late yesterday
afternoon, after full discussion by
the members of the committee.
" The subcommittee consists of "
F Stevenson. chairman; 7 B Butler,
JB Park, w B Wilson, Jr, R NJ JEFF
/ fes,es, ] D Owens and ] NJ Greer,
four Jones men and three Blease
men.
The committee held a meeting last
night and decided to hold their first
meeting next Wednesday at noon in
the library of the State House. At
torneys and all parties interested
are asked to be present at this meet
ing and all parties having informa-
ton of fraud, affidavits, or any
charges of irregularities are reques-
ted to forward same to the chair
man Of the subcommittee, Mr. Stew
enson, at Columbia, before its meet
ing next Wednesday.
The sessions of the committee will
be open and evidence and testimony
will be taken under oath. They de-
cided to wait until after the second
primary for county offices, next
Tuesday, so they can get the club
rolls, the poll lists and other rec
ords which they will want for their
probe. The work will be thorough
\ and complete.
The practical result of the appoint
hg of the subcommittee of seven
10 probe charges of fraud will be to
Indefinitely delay the second prlma-
kry for State offices, if one should
prove necessary.
The committee passing a resolu-
1 ton to appoint this subcommittee
Ito take testimony agreed with the
ruling of Chairman John Gary Ev-
ans. that the State committee has
original jurisdiction over all State
Offices, and can hold a second prl-
mary whenever necessary without
regard to the rules, which would or
dinarily call for the second primary
next Tuesday, and throw out the
whole election for State officers and
order another primary if they deem
it advisable.

down from Jefferson and cap
tured Mitchell about 4 o'clock
that morning.
The negroes out in the vicini-
ty of the crime were wrought up
over the deed and on Tuesday

he just had a gun. The Sheriff
promptly supplied him with one
and told him to go after him. La.
ter while going down a road by
himself John met Charlie Mitch

the roadside, and seeing John,
he called to him to halt, but
John paid no heed to the demand
and put space between him and
Mitchell until he was brought up
to Mr.. McGutfins, when he told
them that Mitchell was down in
the road, when asked why he
did not capture him, he said he
would rather bring him in alive
than dead.
