pulled, and didn't appreciate the
affair as,I do now.
If my memory serves me cor
rectly, independence and Parsons
were playing. Two games were
played on the Fourth of July,
in the latter city. The umpire in
the morning game was German.
Around him centered the trouble
of the morning.
That German didn't like the
way the fans treated him was
proved when he didn't show up
for the afternoon game. l am
told he never held an indicator in
another game, his lone expert
.ence causing him to lose any love
he might have had for the job. 7
At the end of the ninth the
score was a tie and the crowd was
wrought up over the extra inL
ming. Neither club scored in the
tenth. In the first half of the
eleventh independence got man
as far as third with two down,
and the next batter hit ball to
deep short.
The umpire's first impression,
as well as decision, was that the
batter was safe and that Indel
pendence had put over the run
that looked big enough to wia
the game.
The captain and manager of
the home team, seeing that the
umpire had waved the batter safe;
made rush for the official. An
the Parsons players followed.

Dispensary Probe Committee Plans
First Session Wednesday.

Columbia, Feb. 26.-The legisla-
tive committee to investigate every
thing in connection with the late
State dispensary, for which Gov.
Blease asked in a me sage last year,
and then vetoed the bill, and which
was passed over his veto, will hold
their first meeting on Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock. It is possible
that the opening meeting may be
postponed to a late~ date by reason
Of the general assembly being in ses-
sion this week, but Wednesday is the
date fixed at present. The commit
tee is composed of Senator H. B: Car
Isle, chairman; Senators Sullivan
and Clifton, Representative J. j.
Evans, secretary, and Representatives
w. L. Daniel and F. M. Cary.
1t is said that T. B. Fielder, the At
lanta attorney, will more than. likely
be summoned to appear before the
committee and tell what he knows.
His letters to the press of the State
last year are remembered by the
whole people.

man, and her aged mother, Mrs.
Shick, were shot this afternoon 81

securing the hills in search of one
Cervinski. Mrs. Harker is believed
to have been fatally wounded. It is
alleged Cervinsky has been annoying
Mrs. Harker, and she ran into the
house and locked the door to-day
when she saw him approaching. Ac-
cording to the story of the woman,
Cervinsky broke down the door and
began shooting. Mrs. Shick fell with
bullet through her arm and her
daughter ran from the house. The
man followed, firing as he ran and
wounding her twice Neighbors were
held at bay by the maddened foreign
er while he made his escape.

Ira b. Jones to Speak Here.

The Hon. Ira B. Jones, former
chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of South Carolina, has been secured
to deliver a sixth of the series OF
llfe-work lectures being given at the
Carlisle Fitting School, on Law as
a Life-Work." This will be the last
lecture of the series and will be
given on the evening of March 10Th.
1t is needless to say that not only
the students of the school but the
town and community in general are
most fortunate in having man like
Mr.. Jones come to speak to them. OF
course no man could be found, so ap-
propriate to discuss law as life
work. as the man who has risen to
the head of the judiciary in his State.
Again, Judge Jones is the only an
nounced candidate for governor
against the present incumbent. There
are hundreds of people in this sec
ton who will be glad of the oppor-
tunity to hear him. Of course the
lecture at the Fitting School will not
be political one, but meeting will
probably be arranged at which Judge
Jones will have an opportunity to
express his political views:

WIFE.MURDERER CAUGHT.
Tennessee Bad Man Caught in Cali
fornia.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 22..Samuel
Miller, who was convicted of the
murder of his wife, Mrs Gussie Mil
Ter, on Thanksgiving day, 1902, here
and who escaped from the Madison
county jail at Jackson, Tenn, the
night of May %, 1903, has been ar
rested at Oakland, CAL, according to
advices made public here to-day. AS
soon as extradition papers are obtain
ed, deputy will go to Oakland to
bring Miller to Memphis.
Miller shot his wife, who had filed
suit for divorce, to death in a store
that she had opened here. Two chill
dren of the Miller's saw their father
slay their mother. Immediately af-
terward he calmly surrendered to the
police.
Miller was arrested at Oakland on
Monday last, but the local police did
not announce the capture until to-
day, pending Identification of the
man, now said to be complete.
Miller's escape with three other
noted prisoners at Jackson created
wide comment at the time of the CO.
icidence that a theatrical troupe,
headed by Cole Younger and Frank
James gave performance in Jack
son the night of the jail delivery.

stationed in Peking, China, young
woman, clad in male attire, applied
at the recruiting office in Louisville,

She broke down when ordered to
undergo the physical examination and
admitted her sex. She refused to
give any name other than the one un-
der which she applied, Jacob Ian
sing, Tell City, Ind, and tearfully
confessed she had "bobbed" her hair
and disguised herself that she might
be sent to China, where her lover is;

DIR. KollOck's Lecture.

Those who were at the Fitting
School auditorium last Friday even
ing to hear DR.. G. w. Kollock, OF
Charleston, on medicine as Life
Work." no doubt came away with a
higher and truer appreciation of the
physician than they had before. With
no attempt at oratory, but with the
deft touch of one who has long min
istered to the body diseased, he gave
his hearers an insight into the work
of a noble profession.
Commencing at the earliest period
at which the practice Of medicine is
known of, the speaker discussed anci-
ert and modern methods, and it was
new information to many of the audi
ence that the science of medicine for
the healing of the sick was first ,prac-
ticed among the Egyptians. In dis
cussing the many discoveries made
by the profession he feelingly alluded
to the man who discovered vaccina-
ton and gave it free to the world
when he could have made himself
many times a millionaire, yet Keely,
who has his cure for the whiskey
habit, kept it to himself and has made
himself many times a millionaire.
(which added the speaker, would
you prefer?'
With no attempt at laudation, for
their heroism, DR.. Kollock told OF the
many instances where physicians had
laid down their lives undergoing ex-
periments in the interest of human
life, notably in the case where two
men met death by allowing them
selves to be bitten by mosquitoes
which had previously bitten yellow
fever patients. He discussed in nc
uncertain terms the quack and frauds
of the day, and when he eloquently
proclaimed that the physician must
first of all be a Christian and a
gentleman the house broke into spon'
taneous applause We feel sure that
the audience thoroughly enjoyed the
lecture, and Bamberg and the Car
Isle Fitting School are under many
obligations to DR.. Kollock for so in
teresting a presentation of profes
sion which comes into such intimate
relation with home life.

CITY WIPES OUT IT'S DOGS.
Poisoned Sausages Kill 200 When
Spread of Rabies is Started.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 26.-A raid
on the dogs of the city caused the
death of about 200 animals, only one
dog, as far as is known, escaping
the poisoned sausages which were
scattered all through the city streets
before daylight.
The only dog to escape is one
which is suspected of rabies and is in
a box in the Office of doctor. There
is no apparent reason for the slaugh-
ter Of the dogs, for there has been
no extensive rabies infection. The
sausages were given enough poison
to kill the dog almost instantly, and
by o'clock in the morning the
streets were filled with dead dogs.

Churchyard Revels.

There is a churchyard in the bor-
ough of St. Marylebone, London, in
which tombstone is pointed out to
visitors as the one on which Ho-
garth's idle apprentice threw dice.
Attention has just been called to the
fact that his practice of gambling on
tombstones has come down to the
present day in at least one graveyard
in the United Kingdom.
A lawsuit, just decided, has stop
ped the practice in the churchyard of
Dungarvan, an Irish village, where
some of the inhabitants were in the
habit of playing cards on the slabs
placed over graves and of dancing to
the music of an accordion. The rep
resentative church body was the COM
plainant in the case. 1t sought and OBJ
tanned an injunction against sixteen
persons, restraining them from tres
passing upon the burial ground and
premises adjacent to the church of
St. Mary. The master of rolls who
heard the case held that this privi-
lege was one of permission and not a
right and that churchyard was ded-
icated to the service of God and not
to the recreation of man.
In the days before the reforma-
ton, authorities say, the parish
churchyard was used as public play
ground. Games and revels were
commonly held there on Sundays and
holidays. At Whitsuntide there was
a sort of church fair held in grave
yards at which ale brewed by the
church wardens was served, while
dice throwing, card playing and
bowls were permitted. Cock fighting
in churchyards did not cease until
the eighteenth century. There is a
story told that a wealthy man in
Tarrant, village of
Hampshire, ordered that fiat tomb
stone, large enough to enable the
boys to play marbles on it, should be
placed over his grave.-London dis

Aiken, Feb. 27.-Former United
States Senator George F. Edmunds,
who was for many years winter res
ident of Aiken, has rendered the Epis-
copal diocese of South Carolina his
beautiful residence in Aiken for the
use of the diocese in any way they
may see fit to utilize it, and it has
been proposed that the diocese estab-
lish a college and use the Edmunds
home for this purpose. The Epis-
copal church has no such institution
in South Carolina, and it is under
stood that a movement is now being
started in this direction.

A Truly Adventurous Career.

Mr.. ]. w. Adcock, of Ore Hill, (not
OHell, as some ultra smart boys
once changed the depot sign-board
to read) was in town yesterday. He
dropped into this office to renew his
subscription and in the conversation
that ensued we learned some inter-
esting facts. He has had so many
accidents that he may be we'll likened
unto a cat with nine lives. He will
be II on Washington's birthday. In
March, '62, he enlisted in Company
E, 26th Regiment, and at the first
days fight at Gettysburg was shot
through the lungs. He recovered
from this near-death and later re-
Joined his command. Since shot and
shell wasn't able to lay him out, a
horse tried a hand, or rather foot,
two years after the war and he was
stretched out, but aside from brok-
en- leg he was not much hurt. In
the eighties when the Cape Fear &
Yadkin Valley Railway was being
built, he was a member of the track
laying squad, and while working near
the Dowd Poe place, two miles north
of Siler City, the work train was
wrecked and his other leg was brok-
en-. Still this didn't "feaze' him. His
last real accident occurred about thir-
teen years ago. He was climbing into
a hog-pen when his foot slipped and
a broken collar-bone was the result.
Instead of discouraging, these nu-
merous injuries have tended to give
him a stronger hold on life.-Siler
City Grit.
