A Dull Dog.
American

There is very sweet girl in Kan
sas town who shutters dreadfully.
One night not long ago when her
beau was leaving, she accompanied
him to the porch and said: George.
are you coming again next $685.
The dog was on the porch. After
George was half a mile down the
road, with the dog gaining on him
at every leap, it occurred to him that
possibly the young lady had intended
to say Sunday" instead of ~Seize
him." but it didn't occur to the dog
for as much as a mile or so beyond
Saturday Evening Post.

Will Cut Off Strike Breakers Ears

Atlanta, Oct. 7.-Angry strikers
and strike sympathizers along the
Georgia Railroad between Atlanta
and Augusta threaten this morning
that they will seize and cut off the
ears of the first strike-breakers they
can lay hands on; and that they will
nail their ears on the doors of the
railway coaches as warning to other
strike-breakers
The brutal picturesqueness of the
threat has arousd no little exicte-
ment here, and the view is taken
among railroad men that the strikers
may mean literally to carry it out,
inasmuch as they have already fired
on, stoned and beaten members Of
the strike-breaking crews.

Are You a Common Maniac?

Are You a Common Maniac?
How do you know you are not
crazy? You think you are sane, but
that doesn't make it so, says the
Toronto Mail: Your friends also con-
slider you perfectly balanced men
tally, but at the same time you may
be maniac; harmless, it is true, but
nevertheless maniac. There is a
big difference between maniacs and
lunatics, but comparatively few mani
acs are confined under lock and key.
That's because their manias are of
such a harmless nature as to be co.,
sidered habits and eccentricities. 1t
often requires long sand careful ex-
animation by an alienist to determine
whether a person is sane or crazy,
and even then the judgment of the
mind expert may be wrong. So, you
see, it isn't any easy matter, after
all, to determine whether you are
absolutely sound mentally. The
chances are about 1000 to that you
will go through life without ever
having your sanity tested. But if
you should undergo an examination
at the hands'of the alienists the odds
are not so great that you would sue
cessfully withstand such test.
Do you bite your finger nails? II
you do you are maniac. Worse
still, you are an onychopagomaniac.
That sounds bad enough to send you
to the asylum for the rest of your
life, doesn't it? But cheer up. If
that is the only mania you have your
case is not serious, and you can easily
cure yourself by exerting enough
will power. Still you are a maniac,
according to scientists. You may
comfort yourself by knowing that all
your friends are maniacs, too, for
there is hardly a person in the world
who is not the victim of some mania
more or less serious than yours.
The next time you meet a trepodo-
maniac do not be alarmed. His
mania issno worse than yours. In
fact you would probably not know
he is a trepodomaniac unless some
one told you that such a person is
one who constantly crosses. and re-
crosses his legs while sitting or stand
ing. Lord Salisbury was victim of
this awful sounding mania.
The harmoniomaniac is equally
harmless, but is nevertheless a nuis-
ance. His mania consists of drum
ming on the window pane or desk,
or in humming tunes in utter disre-
gard of the composers original in
tentions.
The odds are about 100 to that
baby Mary is maniac. She is If
she sucks her thumb. This mania
is one of the worst known-in name
because it is called "stomafoda-
ctylomania." Nearly everybody has
had it, and yet no one ever was sent
to the asylum on that account.
The world is full of "cappillor-
riomaniacs," and you probably have
met hundreds of them without know
ing it. The next time you see a man
scratch his head mediatively before
answering your question you may
rest assured that you are face to
face with real "cappilliorriomani-
&C."
These are only a few of the awful
sounding names which mental
scientists have invented for the most
common maniacs of mankind, and
some even go so far as to advocate
that such maniacs should be shut up
away from their fellow men until
they are cured. Of course, that is
ridiculous, but it goes to show what
a hairlike thread separates most of
us from the asylum.

NEWBERRY FARMER KILLED
SPURGEON JOHSON KILLED IN
PRESENCE OF FAMILY.
Fatal Load Fired Through Window
at .Night-Officers and Blood
hounds Rushed to Scene.

NeWDerry, Oct. S.-NeWS was re-
ceived in Newberry early this morn
ing of the horrible assassination of
Spurgeon Johnson, a white man, in
the northwestern section of NeWberry
county, near the Laurens line, at
about 9 o'clock last night. While
sitting in room of his home, in COM
pany with his wife, his little son and
an aunt, Mr.. Johnson was shot on the
left side of the head, about the re-
gion of the ear, with shotgun, the
load coming through a window and
killing him instantly.
Mr.. Johnson's home is on the plan
tation known as the old. Jim Hill
place. He was about 35 years of
age.
Bloodhounds Taken to Scene.
The peace officers in Newberry re-
ceived telephone messages telling OF
the tragedy at about 1 o'clock this
morning. Sheriff Buford, accompa-
MED by his two rural policemen, left
Immediately for the scene in an all
tomobile driven by Mr. Forrest Sum-
mer. Constable and Sheriff ELECT
Cannon G. Blease waited in Newber-
ry until about 5 o'clock this morn
ing for bloodhounds, which had been
requested from Columbia, and driven
by Mr.. Waldrop in an automobile, he
left with the bloodhounds immedi-
ately upon the arrival of the train.
A message from the section of the
killing this morning to newspaper
men here was to the effect that Mr..
Johnson had just come in the house,
after hauling some cotton, and had
sat down near a window, when the
fatal shot was fired. 1t is said he
had had no trouble with any one re-
Gently, and the perpetrator of the
deed and it's motive are unknown.
Suspect Released.
The message stated that a negro,
Billy Thomas, had been arrested in
connection with the affair, but later
was released after he had shown con-
clusively that he was 'possum hunt
ing with white gentlemen last night.
1t was stated this morning that the
bloodhounds carried to the scene had
trailed from the house where the kill
ing occurred to the public road, a
distance of some six hundred yards,
and had there lost the trail. The
scene of the killing is about eight
miles this side of Cross Hill.
Coroner John Henry Chappell held
an inquest this morning, the verdict
being that Spurgeon Johnson came
to his death at the hands of unknown
parties.
Party Fired Upon.
Early this morning, while in search
of a negro who was suspected in con-
nection with the killing Magistrate
William Dorroh and a party were at
tempting to enter a house when they
were fired upon by negro in the
house. The fire was returned and O.
S. Atkin and his son, both colored,
were wounded. Both were shot in
the fleshy part of their legs, and
neither wound is serious. The party
was being conducted to the house by
the wife of the negro who was sus-
pected. This negro has not yet been
located.
Sheriff Buford and Constable
Blease returned to the city this af-
ternoon. The rural policemen re-
NAMED on the scene to continue the
investigation into the affair. They
are assisted by number of citizens.

TEST NEW CORRUPTION LAW
Mayor-Elect of Menomonie He'd In
nocent of Wrong Intent in Buying
Railroad Ticket for Voter.

Menomonie.-Wh was probably
the first criminal prosecution in the
state under the section of the new
corrupt practices act that prohibits
the transportation of voters Ito or
from the polls came as an after
math to the heated campaign in Me-
nomonie, and resulted in the exon
Grafton of the defendant, Thomas
Stone, former postmaster of the city.
The complainant was Carl Pieper,
defeated candidate for mayor under
the commission system, who had
caused the arrest of Stone for buying
a railroad ticket to North Menom-
onie for Robert Behnke and giving
him nickel for return on election
day. This fact was admitted, but the
evidence showed that there was no
political purpose in the act, as Stone,
who was a supporter of j. B. Ma
thews for mayor, did not solicit
Behnke's vote.
The court denied a motion to dis
miss Stone, made on the ground that
the voter was transported but part
way to the polling place, but after
hearing the witnesses of both sides
and the arguments, discharged the
defendant because no wrong intent
was proven.

rty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited

The achange of life is most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation OF the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
CRY should be needed in time.
