Denmark Doings.

Denmark, Jan. 16.-The heavy
snow on Friday night and Saturday
gave the young folks an opportunity
for pleasure which they seldom ever
enjoy. Snowballing was entered in
to in real earnest, and every one
who ventured on the street was made
to join in the sport. The merchants
were prisoners in their own estab-
hshments, the crowd having promised
them a double share.
The holiday season being over,
there are very few visitors in town.
On last Friday evening DR.. and
Mrs. H. j. Faust entertained in hon

ferns and flowers. During the course

Don't Tickle SWeethearts.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 11.-Moral.
Girls, don't tickle your sweethearts.
R. J. Watkins, a young man who
came here recently from Raleigh, N.
c., fell down the stairway in his
boarding house and shattered an arm
artery in the, stub of his right arm,
that was amputated some months ago
He and his sweetheart were spoon
ing at the head of the stairway,
when she suddenly executed a dive
by tickling him. This caused him to
take a tumble head-foremost down
the stairway. He was removed to
Virginia hospital, followed by his
sweetheart. Aside from the shatter-
ed artery, the doctors say his in
juries are slight.

New Judges Elected.

Columbia, Jan. 12.-The joint as
sembly of the two houses to-day made
the following elections of circuit
judges:
For the I'd circuit, Hayne F. Rice,
of Aiken, to succeed the late Robert
Aldrich.
For the 4th circuit, Thomas H.
Spain, of Darlington, to succeed As
sociate Justice R. G. Watts.
For the 9Th circuit, Frank B. Gary,
of Abbeville, to succeed the late
Judge J. C. Klugh.
For the 18th circuit, Judge J. w.
DeVore, of Edgefield, reelected.
For the 18th circuit, Judge s. w.
G. Shipp, of Florence, reelected.
The first two elections were full Of
spirit and vim and the contest be-
tween Mr.. Edward McIver and MIR.
Spain, to succeed Judge Watts, for
the unexpired term, was one of the
sharpest and most spirited contests
that has been seen in many years.
On the first ballot the result was
tie. There was a bit of feeling
over what appeared to be delay in
the announcement of the result, and
while the result was pending several
senators came in and recorded their
vote. The late arrivals added to the
vote of Mr.. McIver and there was
more or less resentment over what
some thought to be a purposed de-
lay, but each vote stood on its own
bottom and when once recorded, un-
der the rules, cannot be changed un-
til the next ballot. On the second
ballot Mr.. Spain won by majority
of 26 votes, although on the first
ballot it was tie.
In the race for the judgeship from
the I'd circuit there was a sharp con-
test, which narrowed down to Sena-
tor Bates, of Barnwell, and Mr..
Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken. On the
second ballot when things simmered
down, the vote stood Bates 66, Rice
"A, Miley 10, Davis 5. On the third
and final ballot the vote stood Rice
SO and Bates So, and by this vote Mr..
Hayne F. Rice, at present mem
Der of the State board of education,
was elected to succeed Judge Aldrich.
When the joint assembly met the
first election taken up was that OF
Judge for the I'd circuit. The NOM
inees were Senator George H. Bates,
of Barnwell; Mr.. Hayne F. Rice, of
Aiken; Mr. James E. Davis, of Barn
we'll, and Mr.. B. w. Miley, of Bam-
berg.

FAMILY TRAGEDY IN TAMPA.
One Dead, Another Dying, Third
Shot, but Will Recover.

Tampa, Jan. 14.-Incensed be-
cause his wife, from whom he had
been separated six months, received
young man caller this afternoon,
w. D. Moore shot and fatally wound
ed> his father-in-law, J. R. Robinson,
at the Robinson home, in Arcadia,
near here, and was instantly killed
by Robinson's son. The son, John
L. Robinson, is wounded, but not
fatally. The elder Robinson is pres
ident of the Gardiner Lumber Com
pany, one of the largest in Florida.
Moore married a daughter of Rob-
inson about a year ago, but they
separated, and for the past six
months Mrs. Moore has been living
with her father. Robinson brought
Moore home to dinner in hope of
effecting a reconciliation, which
seemed about to be realized, when
young man, whose identity the fam
lily is concealing, came to call on
Mrs. Moore. This aroused the anger
of the husband and he began to heap
insults on the family.
Robinson ordered Moore from the
house, when the son-in-law fired
three shots at the old man and one
at the son, each taking effect. Young
Robinson secured a pistol from a
mantel in the room and shot Moore,
killing him instantly. The elder
Robinson is not expected to live un-
til morning. The son is not badly
wounded.
The young man who was the
cause of the tragedy left the house
when the first shot was fired.

One Dollar and a Half a Year.
TRAIN FROZEN TO TRACK.
Three Engines Required to Loosen
Grip of Ice.

Bristol, Tenn, Jan. 14.-A rare
incident in the history of railroad
ing in Virginia occurred on the Nor
folk and Wastern, at Lynchburg, to-
day, when the Washington-Chatta-
nooga fast train actually froze to the
rails Stopping in swag, the drip
ping water from the pipes caught
the wheels and the temperature being
below zero the train was locked so
securely in the ice that it required
the use of three engines to move it,
humping from the rear.
It was two and half hours be-
fore the train could be moved and
it arrived here several hours late.

Reflections of q Bachelor.

Some people would rather steal a
poor living than earn a good one.
Set 'em up, and the crowd is with
you. Go broke, and you go it alone.
The goddess of justice may be
blind, yet she occasionally winks the
other eye.
If grindstones were abolished, per-
haps fewer boys would want to leave
the farm.
Going through tunnels in an elec-
trio lighted train is wasted oppor-
tunity for a girl.
A woman has just as much right
to lie about her age as a man about
his poker hands.
What makes the baby look so
much like it's mother is it's father
knows it looks like him.
Silence may be golden, but it's
the loud candidate who gets the cam
paign contribution.

Biggest Gun in the World.

The biggest gun In the world is a
sixteen-inch breech-loading rifle de-
signed for the seacoast defense of the
United States and its insular posses
sions, the first one completed being
intended for the Panama canal. The
total length of the gun is 49 feet 2.9
inches. It has a diameter of 60
inches at the breech, tapering to 2S
inches at the muzzle. If smokeless
powder is used it is estimated that
a full charge of SIS pounds will
throw a projectile weighing 2,4O0
pounds a distance of % miles. The
projectile prepared for the monster
is five feet four inches long, and it
has been calculated that it would go
through a steel plate 42.3 inches
thick, if the plate was placed at the
The total weight OF this
monster is 13O tons. What would
happen to a vessel when hit by one
of it's projectiles can only be sur
missed. The French battleship Liber-
te, which blew up recently, would
probably look like a slightly damaged
ship beside it. Other riaed guns of
large calibre heretofore constructed
are the Italian gun, caliber 1915
inches; the French gun of 16.5 inches
caliber and the Armstrong gun of
1926 inches caliber The greatest
gun ever built by the Krupps had
range of 121a miles. None of these
compares in point of energy and
range with the newest American pro-
Tribune.

Rats Destroy His Fortune.

The life savings of Jack Simpson,
of Aiken, Minn., amounting to ST.
565, securely hidden from burglars,
were reduced to pulp by hungry rats
and mice, and in letter received by
President Taft he appeals for the re-
demption of the pulverized frag-
ments by the federal treasury. His
wealth, accumulated to buy farm,
Simpson explains, was placed in box
and deposited between the upstairs
floor and ceiling. No human being
disturbed it, but when he took it
from it's hiding place he found it
had been reduced to dust by the raw
ages of rodents.
The president has referred the
matter to the treasury department
for investigation.

VETOED BILLS ARE PASSED
BAD DAY FOR VETO MESSAGES
OF GOVERNOR BLEASE.
Principal Among Acts Passed was fo1
Investigation of Dspensary
Commission.

Columbia, Jan. 16.-This was dis
tinctly a bad day for the veto mes
ssges of Gov. Blease. Each and every
veto message that was considered was
over-ridden and so far as the house
was concerned the acts passed at the
last session, that were considered to-
day, are to become laws the vetoes
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
First and foremost the veto on the
act providing for an investigation of
the dispensary investigating commit
tee is now an act, the house and SEN
ate both having passed the act over
the veto. It will be remembered that
Gov. Blease at first asked for such
an investigation and then suggested
that it looked like the committees
were "packed" against him and his
friends and that it would not be
real investigation and vetoed the act.
The senate passed the act over the
veto and to-day the only symptom OF
defence was move to delay and this
it was explained was not an approval
of the governors course in vetoing
the act. The fact is that the act was
unanimously passed over the veto,
whether this meant that there was no
use of a fight or that the members
insisted upon the correctness of their
original position is not known.
Passed Over Veto.
The house then in one, two order
passed over the governors veto the
bill relative to the Industrial Home,
at Florence.
No other veto messages were taken
up to-day, except that providing for
the commission form of government
for Charleston, and in this case a mo-
ton to refer the measure to the ju-
dietary committee for the purpose OF
a hearing, prevailed, although there
was opposition to this. Mr.. Wander
Horst explained that Mayor Grace
and others had requested a hearing
on the act. He did not indicate what
their attitude would be, but wanted
the hearing as matter Of courtesy.
Old Dispensary Fund.
The house took up the governors
veto on the act relative to the dis
tribution of the balance from the old
dispensary fund. Mr.. Stevenson, the
author of the act, came vigorously
to it's defence and explained the po-
sition the house had taken last year
and why it should be sustained. The
act was passed over the governors
veto by vote of SO to II.
