Edgefeld Farmer Shot.

Edgefeld, Feb. 23.-C. H. Cobia
was shot twice in the store of May &
Prescott this afternoon at ! o'clock,
by w. NJ. Reardon. Both of the men
are young farmers of the Pleasant
Lane section who reside within half
a mile of each other. They had a diff
ficulty several days ago at Mr.. Co.
bias home which resulted in the
shooting of Mr.. Reardon by Mr.. Co.
bia, the wound being only slight. The
two men came to town to-day and on
meeting face to face in May & Pres
colts store, Mr.. Rcardon drew a re-
volver from his overcoat pocket and
began firing on Mr.. Cobia without a
word being passed by either. The
first shot took effect in the chest and
the second in the abdomen, third
shot went wild, his hand being raised
by one of their witnesses who stepped
between them. Mr.. Reardon surren-
dered to the sheriff and is now in jail.
The wounded man is in precarious
condition and will probably be carried
to Augusta for a surgical operation.
The unfortunate affair is greatly de-
plored by their friends.

INDIAN WIVES POPULAR.
Agent Webster Besieged at Spokane
by Would-be Husbands.

Since it was noised around that
there were scores of dusky Indian
heiresses that awaited white husbands
on nearby reservations the local
agency has been besieged by love-
smitten swains, and Capt. John McA.
Webster has informed all that he is
not running a matrimonial bureau
and turned bashful German laddie
away almost harshly last week who
sought buxom red lassie.
"Of course, l am always ready to
administer the Indian affairs to the
best of my ability, but I certainly do
not wish to usurp the duties of
Cupid" said Capt. Webster. @'There
are many of our Indian girls happily
married to whites, but if man wish
es an Indian girl and her homestead
he need not expect us to aid him in
his suit
The young German blushed as he
approached Capt. Webster's desk a
few days ago.
Have any of these Indians got
good lands?" ventured the nonpluss-
ed suitor.
He was told that there was good
land in the hands of the Indians and
that some of it might be purchased or
leased from families where several
children had received allotments.
81 just thought if there were any
Indian girls that would marry nice
fellow I would not mind, if we had
little something to get start" he
continued. eff there is any way to
get one of the girls I think that it
would be all right and would try to
make her happy
"Would one of those Indian girls
think of marrying a white man who is
gentleman in every respect!"
pleaded a swain from California in
recent letter to Capt. Webster. II
prefer a half-breed, but if she Is
good-looking I think that I would
be willing to take chance at marry
ing full-blood."
More than a dozen letters have
been received from bachelors in the
various States since the report was
circulated that the Indian girls were
wealthy and would welcome white
suitors. Several have appeared in
Spokane Spokesman Re-
view.

A Political Announcement.

The following announcement by
DR.. E. Porter Webb, of Laurel Hill,
probably stands in class all by itself
as unique political appeal:
To the public in general, and the
voters especially, of Walton county.
After insulting my own conscience
and better judgment, I have decided
to run before, if not after, the pri-
maries of this county for the most
despised office of representative. And
to lie before you as to my platform
would be to do you as others who
have gone before me- I feel my ut
ter incompleteness as others who you
have chosen in the past few years
have shown theirs. l promise you
all they have promised, and more,
too. All I want is sufficient votes to
land me in Lobbyhassee, and then
the voters be darned. I will lean to-
ward the side who has the kale seed,
and support such strenuous measures
as will protect the dear gophers OF
this beautiful land of ours. And
what care we for better roads, we
never have fine cars, or pleasure car
riages, neither have we great loads
of farm products to market. Our
forefathers were happier than we,
and they trod the heavy sands and
mud; are we better than they?
I furthermore promise and say
that I will fill my seat in the legis-
lature hall, at all times, provided /
have no other business at home, or
Pensacola, that might attract my at
tention. And on the last day, 1 will
be surely found at my post of duty,
ready to sign the pay roll.
Trusting you see your way clear to
vote for me, I am yours ready to
serve.

THE PARDONERS.

Ye have spoken of crime and the
doer,
And the mission of mercy ye do;
But I think that your words rang
truer
Had you spoken of Justice, too;
Ye have told of the years that harden,
With their vengeance so heavy and
grim,
But the dead-in his grave-his par
Did any one speak for him?
Ye have spoken of life and forgiv-
ing,
And the bars and the shackles
grim;
But the dead-in the tomb-is he
living?
Have you opened the bars for him?
Ye have told of the friends and
brothers
And the sisters these years con-
demn;
But the widowed and orphaned
those others
Did any one plead for Her?
Mercy-Aye, she sits smiling
Well could she do nc less;
But Justice-are ye beguiling
Her into forgetfulncss?
Mercy-Aye she has her hundred
To plead, while the wet eyes blur;
But Justice-who sat and wondered
Did any one plead for Her?

A French Dressmaker Whose Salar
is 100000 Year.

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion, there is an interesting ac-
count of Nine. Paquin, who is at the
head of the most famous dressmaking
establishment in the world. Follow
ing is an extract from the article:
IF anybody is qualified to explain
the mysterious process by which fash
ions in dress are imposed upon the
world, 1t must be the head of the
great Partisan House of Paquin in
the Rue de la Paix. Those who are
impolite enough to discuss such
matters, says that Madame Paquin
may be thirty-nine, always with the
apologetic qualification that she
looks at least ten years younger. But
all agree that she is charming. There
is no doubt of the efficiency with
which she dominates the greatest
dressmaking establishment in the
world. Madame Paquin assumed the
dictatorship of the realm of Fashion,
as the phrase-makers will have it, in
December, 1907, upon the death OF
her husband, that Monsieur Isador
Paquin who was very properly dec
Grated by the Minister Of Commerce
for his services to France through his
preeminent genius in his art. Mon
sieur Isador Paquin was an unknown
clerk of the Paris Bourse, and his
bride was an equally obscure little
dressmaker at the time of their mar
riage, about 1891. But shortly after
they set up housekeeping, a wealthy
patron established them in dress
making business, small, but in an ex-
cellent location. At that time the
great artists of fashion we're wont to
hold themselves coldly and mysterl-
ously aloof from their patrons. The
newcomers in the field adopted an
opposite policy. Monsieur, a born
diplomat and a far-sighted business
man, young, handsome, and suave,
and Madame, charming and tactful,
were always accessible and always
courteous. Such qualities, supple
menting unquestioned taste and orig
inality, proved so compelling that by
the end of dozen years the annual
income of the house of Paquin was
about four hundred thousand dollars.
To-day it is probably far in excess OF
that figure. Aside from her interest
in the establishment, Madame Paqu1n
draws salary of sixty thousand dol
lars. The detail of business is enor-
nous. A small army is employed
not only in designing, experimenting,
and making, but also in scouting for
new ideas to be modified or exagger-
ated. Then there are the name
quins,' s,'-who exhibit the costumes in
the showrooms, not to speak of per-
sons of far more consequence who
wear the latest creations on the stage
or at the races"

KILLED IN MILL EXPLOSION.
Gaffney Man Meets Awful Death
when Steam Pipe Bursts.

Gaffney, Feb. pa terrible acci-
dent occurred in Gaffney this morn
ing, when Peter Kitchen, an en-
gineer at the Gaffney Manufacturing
Company's mill, in this city, was in
stantly killed by the explosion OF a
steam pipe. Kitchen had come on
duty at a, few minutes past 6 when
the explosion occurred.
The burst pipe was 6-inch, the
main steam pipe of the mill. When
the explosion took place the windows
were blown from the engine room,
strong supports were torn from the
base, and the room almost wrecked.
Kitchen was found in a pool of blood
about 6 feet from the engine. The
body was literally steamed, and sew
eral wounds were found around the
face and forehead, where he had been
struck by pieces of pipe and flying
timbers.
Shortly after the accident the body
was taken to the undertaking parlor,
a coroner's jury empaneled and an
inquest held. AS evidence was plain
that the affair was an accident, ver-
dict to that effect was rendered.
Kitchens was about 81 years of age.
He is survived by a wife and seven
children.
