ASKS INVESTIGATION.
Charged With Shooting Members Mob
Spartanburg Policeman Resigns.

Spartanburg, S. c., Aug. 2O.-As a
result of the shooting of Frank Ep-
perly and J. C. Owensby during the
storming of the county jail Monday
night by mob bent on lynching Will
Fair, a negro prisoner, Lieut.. S. j.
Alverson of the city police force vol
UNFAIRLY resigned to-day, with the re-
quest that an investigation of the
shooting be made.
Alverson, who has been on the
force 10 years and has good record, |,
is accused of shooting the two men.
He does not deny the charge, but as
serts that he was justified by the cir
cumstances. He was trying to help
Sheriff W. J. White, he says, and did
not fire until members of the mob
tried to wrest his pistol from him.
The trial of the negro was post
poned by Governor Blease today at
the request of Solicitor Albert E.
Hill, who desires time to get addl-
tional evidence against Fair.

The Mania for Undressing.

What is patent to the least obser-
want nowadays is that women wear
almost nothing under their gowns,
even in the daytime. Petticoats went
some time back and we're replaced by
tights-or not replaced at all. the
stockings are of such diaphanous
silk as to embarrass the beholder who
sees even in the street, so much OF
them, and they are not covered by
any but court shoes.
So much for the foundation. Over
this is worn a filmy sheath of half
transparent material, cut almost as
low by day as by night, and with
such slashings and fittings in the
skirt as may fully display the leg
halfway to the knee and which show
every movement of the limbs-almost
of the muscles.
A story has been going the round
of Paris in which it is told that an
English woman was offered a dress
with the following inducement to
tempt her Madame will be satisfied
with the robe, for by putting pink
ribbon underneath, Madame will ap-
pear completely nude" AS if that
were the absolute ambition of every
woman for the moment! Certainly
there is an orgy of undressing going
On, and it shows no sign of abating.
And what is to be the end? 1t is
difficult to see; but obviously, when
you have gone on undressing for a
certain time, you come to the end OF
what there is to take off, and the
only thing to do is to put your clothes
on again. But no one can foresee
when that happy hour of sanity will
be with US. There are no signs of it
at present.
But it says a great deal for the
length of road we have travelled that
the old-fashioned people (perhaps
there are none left) have not lifted
up their voices in the press to re.
buke a generation which would have
made their fathers gasp and stare and
presently resort to prayer to avert
thunderbolt.

TESTING BOTTONlESS HOLE.
Greene County Has One 1000 Feet
Deep, Anyway.

Kinston, n. c., Aug. 20.-Yester-
day a pound of lead at the end Of
1000 feet of stout cord was dropped
into the waters of pool near Hook
erton, in Greene County, which has
for many years been subject for
curiosity on the part Of the people of
the whole country because of it's un-
known depth. This line was unreeled
to the last inch and hung perfectly
taut.
The "bottomless hole" as it is To-
cally known, has existed for genera
tions. Not more than 100 yards from
the banks of Moccasin River, it was
once thought that a subterranean
stream supplied the pool from the
river, but this theory was disproved
when somebody called attention to
the fact that the water in it does
rot rise at the times when the river
is much higher than it's normal stage
with heavy freshets. The hole is
about Is feet in diameter, and not a
living thing exists in or near it. The
water, which is of light blue color,
is clear for a great distance down.
Experiments are said to have been
made with fish in the "bottomless
hole" but these invariably died in a
short time and rose to the surface.
A number of traditions of Indian
times exist concerning the pool, one
of which is that it bears a spell put
upon it by a medicine man when
chief who had been his patron was
drowned there. The attempt yester-
day to ascertain the holes depth was
not the first by any means, but more
pains were taken and the sounding
line was longer than at any previous
effort

VIM. DeLOACH COMMITS SUICIDE.
Assistant Postmaster at Ninety-Six
Jumps in Mill Pond

Greenwood, Aug. 22.-William De-
Loach, assistant postmaster at Nine
ty-Six, committed suicide early this
morning by throwing himself in the
pond of water belonging to the Nine
tv-Six Cotton Mill, located near the
mill. 1t is reported that he had
threatened to kill himself earlier in
the night and that his wife had per-
suaded him to accompany her to her
fathers house, near the mill, and
that while she was waking her father
up DeLoach slipped off and threw
himself in the pond. Mrs. ]. W. Tai
bert, postmaster at Ninety-Slx, is a
sister of Will DeLoach.

The Man Who Struck Oil.

Fifty-four years ago, or to be exact,
on August 27, 1859, oil was struck in
Western Pennsylvania at spot which
bore the picturesque name of Pith-
hole, now a deserted village, but at
one time the scene of epoch-making
activities.
The man who discovered oil by bor-
ing for it was a picturesque charac-
ter, of an adventurous disposition,
but the name Of Edwin L. Drake,
widely known under the title of Col
cnel. He had observed traces of Oil
on the surface of a stream near
Titusville and he resolved to sink a
we'll to secure this commodity in
larger quantities and to replace the
crude methods which the Indians of
Western Pennsylvania employed.
They immersed blankets to secure the
lubricant, more, however, on account
of the medicinal qualities of the crude
oil than for it's commercial value and
uses.
1t is proposed by the people of
Titusville, Oil City and other cities in
the oil regions to erect amonument to
Drake to mark the spot where the
first oil we'll was sunk. A Drake
memorial museum has already been
established at Titusville.
The history of the early production
of oil in the oil regions of Western
PENNSYLVANIA reads like romance,
and it is, indeed, romance, founded,
however, on the most solid structure
of fact.
It is a fact that the discovery of
oil was one of the most vital in the
history of the United States. 1t
seems fitting that some shaft or
monument should mark the place
where Drake had the prescience to
sink the first oil well, which increased
so amazingly the wealth of this coun-
try and added su much to the COM
forts of life.-Wall Street Journal.

aside, held up the page for his in
spection: now 1 have paper key to
the Jail. Isn't that terrible?'
With an exclamation the young
soldier seized the paper from her
hand and tore it into bits. But the
imprint of the key remained on the
cover of the books and the next day
and the next and the next, Miss Mary
worked to fashion a key after the
pattern, first making one of wood,
which her brother feared would
break off in the lock, and then one OF
sheet iron which proved too weak.
Finally she began making one of iron.
Four days before the time set for
the execution Of the death sentence
she finished it and smuggled it in to
her brother and his friends, together
with more files to cut the chains.
This time the scheme worked, and the
next night the three men escaped.
Miss Mary and the village black
smith we're arrested on suspicion.
Miss Mary's ready confession exoner-
ated the blacksmith. After having
been held a prisoner for four weeks
she was ia ken before Colonel Gather
wood for trial. Asked how she dared
do such a thing when she was under
the oath of allegiance Miss Mary re-
piled airily:
Wit Saves Her.
Il had your permission to take
my brother food and any sisterly re-
lief I could
Her wit won the day and she was
released. Her brother, however, was
killed before the close of the war.
Toward the close of the war the jail
was turned over to the town sheriff,
and this man, over jealous in the dis
charge of his duties, threatened to
rearrest Miss Mary and hang her as
traitor. She was warned of the
sheriffs intention and, though it was
midwinter, she set out with her
Youngest brother and another little
boy, whose mother wanted to get
him out of the danger zone, and
walked twelve miles through the
snow and ice to Upton, taking the
train from there to st. Louis. Her
feet were so badly frozen and blis-
tered that she was unable to walk
for weeks.
The laboriously made key was kept
in the Court House of Boonville as a
relic of the war until 25 years ago,
when it was sent to Mrs. Brooks.
And she has it still, an enormous
thing, four times the size of the keys
now in use.

PLACES BLAME FOR BAD EGGS.
Government Hopes to Overcome
Loss of Millions of Dollars.

Convinced that means could be found TO
overcome the loss Of several million of
dollars a year in the egg industry. the
Department of Agriculture has just COM
nleted an extensive inquiry into the
causes of bad and added eggs. In a
statement which has been issued the in
yestigators fix the blame on the farmers
and poulterers.
THE greatest part of the loss is due
mainly TO ignorance Or Indifference on
the part of the farmer and producer,
saws the report. and only small part is
caused by oarelessness on the part of the
buyer and shipper.
The department urges the observance
of five simple rules i'm the conduct of the
eg. industry and sets them forth, as fol-
lows:
Give the hens clean nests.
Gather eggs at least once daily.
Keep eggs in a cool. dry place.
Market eggs at least twice week.
kill or sell all mature male birds as
soon as the Matching season is over
The result OF the investigation has been
embodied in a special pamphlet ordered
printed by the department.
