Chanoed His Mind.

When Representative Brown was
practicing law at Newton he fell out
with the district judge over some trivi-
al matter. One day the court wanted
him as a witness in a case and sent
the sheriff after him.
Just tell the judge to so to -
said Brown when the sheriff told him
to come to court.
'.All Tight" said the sheriff.
The latter wheeled around and start
ed toward the courthouse Brown
turned and looked at him. The longer
he looked the more convinced was he
he had made q mistake So he started

Trains Narrow Escape.

Bamberg, Jan. 15.-The afternoon
train on the Southern Railway go
ing from Augusta to Branchville mar
rowly escaped a serious accident on
Sunday. Between the stations OF
Blackville' and Denmark, in this
county, one of the driving wheels of
the engine fell off while the train
was running at average speed. For
tunately it was thrown clear of the
track, and the prompt action of the
engineer in putting on the brakes
brought the train to a stop with the
engine still on the tracks. The driv-
ing rod was badly twisted and other
parts of the engine damaged. The
conductor walked several miles to a
telephone, and after several hours
a train was sent from Branchville.
The injured engine and it's train was
pushed back to the siding at Lees,
and the passengers transferred. The
train reached here about seven hours
late.

APPROXIMATIONS for This Year.

Columbia, Jan. 1o.-The estimated
appropriation for the State govern
ment for 1912 is S2,554,514.62 as
compared with s1,93S,267.27 in 1911
according to reports that have been
filed with Comptroller General Jones
by the heads of the various depart
ments of the government, including
the public institutions. The estimate
was prepared by the comptroller
general as required by law and has
been sent to the ways and means
committee of the house. The income
from the State tax will approximate
about 81 100000 and this means that
the estimates will be trimmed down
nearly s1,OOO,O00 by the ways and
means committee, before the bill is
sent to the house and senate for con-
sideration. The statements prepared
by the comptroller general shows the
various amounts asked by each de-
partment.

Four Little Tots Left.

Aiken, Jan. 15.-Thos. Duggan,
who came from Charleston to Aiken
some weeks ago and opened a house
for winter tourists, has apparently
absconded, leaving behind him four
little children, the age of the Oldest
child being eight years. His wife
died in Charleston on the Oath of
December, and those who have been
associated with Mr.. Duggan say that
grief probably affected his mind.
He left Aiken some time during
the early portion of last week, leav-
ing no trace. When the cause was
discovered this morning the four chill
dren were in the house without food
or fuel. The city authorities at once
took charge of the little orphans and
placed them under the care of the
sisters, at st. Angela's academy
The police desire to find Mr.: Dug

To Give Him the Sack.

Two noblemen in the reign OF
Maximillian II.-1564-1566-one a
German, the other a Spaniard, who
he'd each rendered a great service to
the emperor, asked the hand of his
daughter in marriage. Maximillian
said that as he esteemed them both
alike it was impossible to choose be-
tween them, and therefore their own
prowess must decide it; but, being
unwilling to risk the loss of either
by engaging them in deadly combat,
he ordered large sack to be brought
and declared that he who should put
his rival into it should have his fair
Helena. And this whimsical combat
was actually performed in the pres
ence of the imperial court and lasted
an hour. The unhappy Spanish no.
bleman was first overcome and the
German succeeded in enveloping him
in the sack, putting him upon his
back and laying him at the emper-
or's feet. This comical combat is
said to be the origin Of the phrase,
"Give him the SACK" so common in
the literature of courting.

Oinchfield Deal Crooked?

New York, Jan. 15.-An account
ing of an investment of 100000 al
legged to have been made by the late
Marshall Field of Chicago in the Vir-
ginia Coal Purchase Company, a
s6,OO0,OOO concern organized to de-
velop coal lands in the Clinchfeld dis
trict of Virginia, is sought in suit
filed here to-day by the executors and
trustees of the dry goods merchants
estate against Thomas F. Ryan, Nor
man B. Ream, T. Jefferson Coolidge
and the New York banking firm OF
Blair & Co., who, with Field, it is
alleged, were members of the syndi-
cate which raised the S6,0O0,00O
capital.
The complaint sets forth that Field
completed payment of 100000 as
his proportion of the capital in 1906
and that in June of that year the de-
PENDANTS, without authority, formed
a new syndicate, called the Cumber-
land Syndicate, with capital of s15,-
100000 and sold the assets of the
Virginia Coal Purchase Company for
s6,OO0,OOO. These assets the COM
plant alleges were not distributed
nor was any payment made to the
Field estate, although demand was
duly made.

WOMEN GUST GAY INSTRUCTOR.
Said He Dived Under Some of the
Pretty Ones.

Pittsburg, Jan. 9.-The announce
ment of the appointment of new
swimming instructor, posted in the
marble halls of the $1,000,000 club
house of the Pittsburg Athletic Asso-
| citation, brought balm to the society
| women among it's members who are
| inclined to stoutness and who have
been wont to paddle in it's magnifi-
cent pool while Richard Cavill, ac-
cording to their allegations, taught
more comely matrons and the de-
butantes to pass from the poirpoise
to the mermaid class.
The chairman of the house COM
mittee, F. R. Babcock, wealthy lum-
Der dealer and president of the Pitts
burg chamber of commerce, said Ca
will, who was brought here from the
Illinois Athletic Association of Chi
cago, was dismissed summarily last
week primarily because he lacked
refinement. James R. Taylor, man
ager and instructor of the Oakland
Aquatic Club, who taught women Of
the Sewickly Y. w. G. A. to swim,
has been employed as his successor.
Cavill, it was charged, soon be-
came favorite, and several women
refused to wear the regulation bloom
er suits, but donned creations in silk
and laces. The cemeliest of these, it
is said, became particular objects of
Cavill's attention while others, less
attractive, had to teach each other to
swim. These told the directors that
the instructor was diving under some
of the women and shooting them out
of the water, and that they had rea-
son to believe that male friends of
the instructor were tipped off when
there would be particularly interest
ing gyrations, with the result that
they posted themselves in places of
vantage where they could see without
being noticed.
Cavill said nothing had been done
that was not in spirit Of fun, and
characterized them who accused him
as prudes.

Fatal Plunge Into Icy Water.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 13.-When
darkness fell upon the scene, where
three young women and two men OF
"joy riding" automobile party
plunged to their death in the arti-
fetal waterway connected with a
power plant above this city early to-
day, two of the victims were be-
meath the ice that covers the water.
These bodies were recovered dur
ing the day: Donald Reed, son OF
former State Supreme Court Justice
Alfred Reed, of Trenton; Margaret
Tindall, Trenton; Helen Mulvey,
Trenton.
The bodies still in the water are:
Chester A. Van Clees, an automobile
salesman of this city; Annie Shohos-
ky, Trenton.
Frederick NJ. Foster, the driver OF
the machine, and member of a
we'll known family of this city, who
had a narrow escape from death, is
at the home of his father in q Sc
rious condition from exposure and
shock.
All concerned in the accident were
between the ages of II and "a years,
the Mulvey girl being the youngest.
It developed to-day that the au-
tomobile belonged to Fosters father
and was taken from a garage last
night while Mr.. Foster was attending
the automobile show in New York.
Young Foster and his companions
met the girls, and after driving
about Trenton, induced them to take
a ride into the country.
Young Foster tonight said the
party left Trenton last night and
went to a road house three miles
north of Trenton. While there some
of the party, he said, had something
to drink, but he himself took moth
ing. He was familiar with the road
he said, and knew the curve at the
point where the accident occurred
AS he reached the bend, he continu-
ed, the machine began to skid and
he put on the brake. The machine
kept on, however, plunged over the
bank, broke through the ice and was
submerged.
Foster said he climbed out OF the
automobile and got on top of\the
surface. He waited three or four
minutes, hoping to see the Others
come to the surface, but they dlo
not. He got to the shore, he said
and ran to the road house and told
what had happened. Both his hands
are frosted. The automobile was
lifted out of the water late this af'
ternoon.
