died at his home on D street, Ander-
son Mills village, Wednesday after

family was employed in the mill,
making a good living until he became
i'll; then his wife, and one by one
his children, too, took their beds.
Since then 1T has been hard strug

people Of the mill village, as well as
the city at large, will go out to the
afflicted and saddened members OF
the family.
For some time now there has been
something Of an epidemic of measles
and pneumonia at the Anderson
mills, such as has been reported from
other parts Of the State, and whole
families have suffered from the dis
eases at one time. One physician

family in which there we're eleven,
all sick at the same time, and ano-
ther In which there were Seyon.
Nearly all Of the sickness first
started as measles, the pneumonia
following. and being responsible for
the several deaths that have occur

however, there are fewer cases than
for some time, and it is thought that
most Of those who are now Ill will
shortly have pulled through and re-
sumed their work
The body Of Mr.. Cabe was sent to

AS to Col. Fielder.
{ AndcdSOn Mail.)


Capt. llartwell Nj. Aver, member
OF the Legislature from Florence
county and editor Of the Florence
Times. expresses our sentiments
when he says:
/ 1--WE hope that the Investigating
'ommlttee Of the General Assembly
will have Tom Fielder before them
In short while, and we hope that
, they will make him show his hand.
If he is a bluff the people OF the
! State want to know it; if he has in
! his scrap book anything that we Of
the State OF South Carolina ought to
know we ought to have it. The
smart Atlanta attorney ought either
to make good his threats. or else go
way back and sit down and keep
quiet, for he is either too smart en-
tirely. or he is not smart enough,
and we want to know which, and
then have an end to his caperings in
the limclight, or else establish him
in our regard forever. We want an
the end be-"
We do not know the scope OF the
investigation permitted under the
act and really do not conceive that
the Governor is under investigation.
The specific or generic sense OF the
investigation was to inquire into
charges or inSinuatiOns against the
.\nsel commission as made by the
present Governor. We wish to see
those charges probed to the bottom,
for we feel sure that the gentlemen
Of the board are honorable men and
the more the committee investigates
the more Of filthy slandcr will be re-
moved, SANDER circulated in the cam
paign OF 10.
But we do not know, haven't paid
enough attention to that to be in
formed, whether or not the Governor
is under any charges. The quarrel
between the Governor and Col. Eel
der is personal, very largely, and the
commission should not be involved
therein. Col. Fielder has made
sweeping and Scandalous charges
against the Governor Of this State
and has invited suit or prosecution
| in the Federal Courts. If he is given
an opportunity to substantiate these
charges and fails to do so, he should
| be sued and the State OF South Caro-
lima should bear the expense OF the
suit. The Investigations will start
on the 2Sth Of February.

FAILED TO ROB FAST MAIL.
Bandits Made Effort to Rob Train,

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Feb. 21.-
Five men made an unsuccessful at
tempt to hold up train No. 8, west
bound, on the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad at o'clock this morn
ing, near Bertram, nine miles east Of
here.
The train is known as the fast
mail, and carries no passengers. 1t
was forced to slow down to four
miles an hour on account Of construc-
ton work being done on the out
skirts Of the village, and it was at
this point the men signalled the en-
gineer to stop.
Suspecting danger from the irreg-
ular method used in signaling, the
engineer did not bring his train to a
stop. When the train failed to stop
one Of the bandits opened fire on the
engineer, hitting him in the arm.
Throwing on all steam, the engineer
brought his train to this city, where
posse was formed and started in
pursuit Of the bandits.

UNCLE SAM is kept
BUSY AS WATCHMAN
Undesirable Animals AS Well As
People Are Guardad
Against

In India and other parts OF the
world there is a little animal known
as the mongoose. II is more pro-
life than the English sparrow or
the guinea pig. 1t is more destruc-
tive to crops than the rat, the mole
or the prairie dog. 1t is so pesti-
ferrous that price Is placed upon
wherever 1t appears. In Hindu
stan II Is kept In many houses
to rid them OF reptiles and other
vermin. II is such quick little
scamp that snake runs poor
chance with 1t In a free fight. II
eats snakes and grows fat on them.
All this has led the Hindoos to be-
lieve IL immune from snake poison.
Science. has shown, however. that
its immunity lies in it's ability to
dodge the snakes fangs.
There is law which prohibits the
mongoose from landing in this
country, and great watchfulness is
exercised to see that II Is kept out.
Not long ago one was landed sur
reptitiously in Everett, Washington.
IL was discovered and killed by the
federal authorities few weeks
later. This incident shows in what
strange ways Uncle Sam Is at work

valuable papers worth many times that

his son know the combination, he said
He found that he had neglected to
empty the cash register, Saturday
night, leaving $1S.4S in that receptacle,

ness saved him that amount OF money
as the register was not touched.
The safe contained about $500, in a
cloth money bag, which was stolen, the
thief or thieves also searching all OF

Mr.. Currie. They also made away with
every record Of Saturdays business

Mr.. Currie says is one of the worst
features OF the robbery.
Mr.. Currie was in the store Sunday
