Gasoline Inebriates.

The town of Covina, CAL, reports
the case of a young girl who has
formed the habit of inhaling gasoline
fumes until she becomes dizzy and
sees visions. Savants have described
her condition as that of gasoline in
toxication."
Hers is not an isolated case. There
are a good many thousand gasoline
inebriates, mostly adult. The cymp-
toms are unmistakable. There is
strained look in the victims eyes.
His ., fingers. itch for the steering
wheel and the speed clutch.
The craving for the fumes of gaso-
line puts mortgages on homes. It
stretches incomes to the point where
they can stretch no more and the in
evitable financial crash follows.
Among other things it makes it vic
tins strangers in their own homes.
It has a way, too, of manipulating
bank accounts till they show a bal
ance on the wrong side of the books.
Gasoline intoxication is further
characterized by an almost insane
disregard for the rights of the inc
briate's fellow-man and the COM
monest laws of safety. There are
times when it is as dangerous to the
public as the madness caused by CO.
caine.
The speeder and the JOY rider suf-
fer from gasoline intoxication super
induced by sixty-horsepower engines
and complicated speed mania. The
treatment indicated is total absti-
nence at hard manual labor.-St.

Killed in Clearing Wreck.

Dillon, Aug. 2.-in clearing up the
wreck of several cars below here last
night, a negro, William Cooper, OF
Cades, was killed. In hitching a chain
of one of the derricks to a car he
failed to fasten it securely, and when
the engine frightened on it the chain
flew back and broke his neck, at the
same time taking part of his head
off. His body was prepared for buri-
al and sent to his home to-day. The
same train that was wrecked went
on down to Sellers from here to-day
and was again wrecked, one car being
derailed. Traffic was stopped for
some time. Agent J. L. Bridgers says
this is the third wreck in the last
few days, but that the luck will turn
now, as this number usually is the
limit for one division of track in so
short a time.

Negro Shot at Slighs.

Newberry, Aug. 2.-About IL
o'clock to-day Sheriff Buford received
message while at the Little Noun
tain reunion that two negroes had
shot each other at Slighs, three miles
distant. He at once sent Rural Po-
liceman T. G. Williams and o. W.
Peterson to arrest the parties. They
found one of them, Andrew Miller,
and arrested him and then went to
the home of the other, George
Stoudemire, where they found his
bloody shirt but not him. Miller
was brought to jail on the charge of
assault and battery with intent to
kill. He was shot in the back but
not seriously hurt. Stoudemire was
shot in the breast. It is not known
how badly he was hurt, as he seems
to have run off under the impression
that he had killed his man, or, it may
be that he went off to hunt for a
doctor to dress his wounds. He will
be found and arrested. Both negroes
used shotguns. They had been after
each other for week or ten days,
about an old grudge over ones call
ing the other short and ugly word.
A young negro, 26 years old, nam
ed Manus Gray was committed to
jail this afternoon on a coroner's ver-
dict, charged with killing his half
brother, Arthur Morgan, aged 10, on
Frank L. Bynum's plantation at May
binton yesterday. The killing was
done with a pistol. Gray says it was
an accident, but that was not the
opinion of the coroner's jury. After
hearing the evidence, he was sent to
Jail by Magistrate Henderson.

HAMPTON DENIES CHARGE.
Railroad Commissioner Declares He
Can Refute Allegation.

Columbia, July 31.--"The charge
in the allegation that 1 received
any money from the Southern Rail-
way, through Gov. Blease is false. 1
can refute this charge at the proper
time in the proper way. 1 have no
further statement to make at this
time" was the statement dictated by
Railroad Commissioner McDufie
Hampton this morning when ask
ed if he had any comment to make on
the charge of Mayor Grace that Gov.
Blease hal told him that two years
ago he acted as "wet nurse" for Mr..
Hampton and paid his expenses for
running for railroad commissioner
out of Southern Railway money furn-
ished him, and with vouchers.

BILTMORE HOTEL.
Owner of Asheville Estate to Go In
to the Hotel Business.

Biltmore, the name of the North
Carolina seat of the grandson of
Commodore Vanderbilt, is to be the
name also of the S5,5O0,O0O hotel,
with thousand rooms, which is to
be part of the new Grand Central
Station in New York. Thus another
of the great families of Manhattan
goes into the hotel business, along
with the Astors and the Belmonts.
Biltmore, near Asheville, is set down
in the books as the most magnificent
country estate in the United States
indeed, it's one hundred thousand
acres of scientifically cultivated for
est provides the site and material of
school of forestry. The third gener-
alton of Vanderbilts is thus doing
something to vindicate a certain
reputation for public spirit won for
the tough, misunderstanding found
er of the family by his gift of an
SSO0,00O steamboat to the govern
ment in the civil war and a million
to found Vanderbilt University in
Tennessee. But of the hundred mil
lions he beQueathed to his son, Will
liam H. Vanderbilt, only 100000
went to Vanderbilt University, and
couple of millions would probably
more than cover all public bequests
made by the father of the master of
Biltmore, George Washington Van
derbilt, born fifty years ago. It seems
very natural for family which amass-
ed it's wealth in transportation to find
glory, and incidental dividends, in a
S5,50O,000 monumental house of en-
tertainment for travellers. Manhat-
tan is the city of monuments of such
wealth as the Vanderbilt's, and it is
this which makes it the wonder, if
not the admiration, of the modern
world. But monuments are memOrl-
ais of things of the past, and eml-
nently things of the past are the
powers and privileges for taking toll
of the public in the spirit of Mr.. Will
liam H. Vanderbilt's motto: "The
public be damned. boston Tran

GETTING AHEAD OF SCANDAL.
Peace and Dignity of Congregation
Secured by Recommendation.

Parson Henderson, an evangells.
of color, was caught one bright
morning holding the hands of one of
the eve lambs of his congregation,
who was very popular young lady,
and it created quite stir among the
colored population, relates writer
in Norman E. Mack's National
Monthly. So the parson was brought
up for trial and was questioned by
the officers of the church as to what
he meant by his action, and this Is
what he had to say in answer to the
question propounded to him: MY
brudders, you have seen these great
pictures, 1 suppose, so you know dat
the great Shepherd am always pic
tured with a lamb of his flock in
his arms"
Eyes, sab, parson, dat am so" ad-
mitted Deacon Jones.
Den, Brudder Jones, what am
wrong in the shepherd of his flock
holding a lamb in his arms?"
This was too much for Brudder
Jones, so he proposed the officers of
the church have a call meeting that
afternoon. After the point was dis
cussed fully the following resolution
was adopted:
"Resolved, Dat for the future
peace and dignity of the congregation
dat the next time Parson Henderson
feels called upon to take a lamb of
his flock in his arms, dat he pick out
a ram lamb"
