ROSE TELLS LIFE STORY.
Reformed Gambler Tells Audience
He Never Had q Chance.

Jack Rose, the reformed gambler,
repeated the story of his life before
an audience in the First Union Pres
byterian Church, Lexington avenue
and Eighty-sixth street. His only
reference to the Rosenthal affair was
that six of the eight men involved in
the crime had been graduated from
State reformatories that do not re-
form. Every gambler, he said, sounds
the depth of human misery, and
his hour came when that affair oc-
Cured a year ago." He insisted,
however, that if the reformatories
had been different there might have
been a different story"
Rose told how he had been led to
the underworld through boys re-
formatory, and how many others in
the institution with him were turned
out worse than when they entered.
People in the underworld, he said,
owe their existence there to those in
the upper world, for they are not CIV
en- a chance to reform because Of the
odium and scorn that follows their
first slip.-NeW York Sun.

STRYCHNINE IN STOMACH.
Florence Doctors Probably Save Life
Of Young Man..

Florence, December ga young
white man by the name of George
McGhee was carried to a boarding
house here Sunday night suffering
from a trouble the nature of which
his friends knew not. After being
there some little time, and growing
worse momentarily, Dr. F. K. Rhodes
and DR.. S. r. Lucas were summoned.
From the condition in which the ply
clans found him they took it to be a
case of poisoning, and at once set
about to make an effort to save the
young mans life. DR.. Rhodes used a
stomach pump and found that the
young man had swallowed strych-
nine.
1t is not known whether the young
man took the dose for relief or with
suicidal attempt. However, it is said,
he told the physicians attending him
that he was out of work, owed a
small bill and that no one cared, any
how, whether he lived or died. 1t is
said that a love affair might have
been the key to the dose having been
found in his stomach. He is getting
along all right now and will live,
the doctors say.

The Ehrhardt-Bamberg Railway.

Elsewhere in this issue we carry a
story concerning the new line OF
railway now under construction from
Ehrhardt to Bamberg. This road
will be completed early in the new
year, and will afford much better
freight and passenger service to the
entire county of Colleton.
The building of this road means
that new period of prosperity will
be ushered into WATERFORD and
Colleton county. For years, with
exit and entrance from one direction
only. the county has enjoyed a slow
growth. Now, by being put into
touch with the outer world in diff
ferent direction, trade should mater
tally improve, the county should be-
gin greater growth than ever before
in it's history and prosperity should
smile. abundantly. The latent
natural resources of Colleton are in
deed great, and with adequate rail-
road service, these resources are
bound to be developed Thus it is
that after years of waiting, we are
to have the benefit of another rail-
road.
But the part in which our people
are most interested is whether or not
the Coast Line will operate this new
road. While some contend that the
business interest of the county will
be damaged by the new road being
absorbed by the Coast Line, there is
no question but that the passenger
service, if operated by the Coast
Line, would be materially improved.
It will be quite inconvenient to make
changes at Ehrhardt for the new line
of road, and much delay might be
caused there on account of the
transfer of freight. 1t matters not
how that may be, this section of ter
ritory will be delighted with the
building of the road and much in
crease in prosperity can be expected.

Something Was Wrong.

At a dry goods store they employed
a small boy to run errands, says the
Pathfinder. The other day, while he
was waiting in the store, lady came
in and asked the clerk for yard Of

When it was placed before her she
exclaimed: Oh, really must be go
ing mad, I want muslin
On hearing this the boy rushed out
of the store and, seeing policeman
across the way, ran up to him, shout
ing.
Come over here There's wo-
man in our store got the hydropho-

The Fear of the Law.

In the great city of London, Eng. in
the year 1910, there were 10 trials for
murder in a city, please take notice, OF
nearly seven millions Of people. OF
these 10 trials, eight ended in eonYie-
lions Of these eight ali We're sen
fenced to death The trials were devoid
CT chat morbid appeal to sensational
ism which Is courted ana nourished
and made much of by the yellow jour
nails in America. Politics, in its rela-
ton to police departments and judges,
did not figure.
Now. in contrast, let us read the
facts from an indictment by a South
ern newspaper, the Birmingham (Ala)
News. and ask ourselves why, N some
American communities, none fears the
law
The News prints an amazine table of
the hemiclldes in Jefferson County, that
state. during the last year From Dec.
%. 1911. to Dec. %, 1872. there WAS 3
murder every week day in the year
What other community in the whole
civilized world makes SO terrible a
showing? No mining camp, ne wild,
,iehauched frontier settlement can
compete with this appalling record
Moreover ii is getting worse. In 1909
1910. and 1911 there We're all told S56
murders: IN 4912' there were so6 and
1913 starts jeff with ten murders in
nineteen days, besides eleven deaths
from Unknown causes.
Thus JEFFERSON County. Ala. with
226, 40 inhabitants, surpasses even thu

enc county Ions since rassed the rec
ord of annual murders for the entire
United Kingdom, including London. a
column says the News. could be con-
sumed in analyzing the cause Of this
horrible record. nut tire main trouble is
that nobody fears the law, which is
without ma jesty in this American COM
munity IN 1912 only a single man was
executed for murder, and he, needless
TO say, was negro. Only thfee White
men were convicted of drst-degree
murder ir 1912. and their cases are
still pending an appeal. IS for RENE
dies, the News can only ask whether,
somehow or Other, something cannot
be done TO arouse public opinion

A Short Ice Crop.

Predicting all the perils of an ice
famine throughout the country If the
remaining half of this winter does not
hold record low temperatures, experts
retained by charitable organizations OF
New. York have reported a serious sit
uation to be confronting the poor of
that city With half of the cold sea
son already past and scarcely a scale
full of ice to show in storage against
next summer, the ice men are admit
ting that only an unusual run of zero
weather and emergency activities with
artificial plants can now serve to brins
the spring supply anywhere near up
to its lowest limit in history
To prevent the pestilential conditions
that must follow an ice shortage in the
tenement quarters of that metropolis,
the authorities declare that they Will
adopt any emergency measures which
can be found to ward off this menaes
to life and health. And thus we are
reminded that an unseasona BILE winter
is not only a tax on health and life ar
the time, but extends its possibilities
into seasons following.
