Two Want Divorces.

A special from Atlanta says: The
unique sight of a mother and daugh-
ter arraigned side by side as defend
ants in the divorce court will be wit
messed in Fulton superior court here
this week. Two separate suits have
filed against Mrs. Fanny Garrison
and Mrs. Lillian Garrison Hicks,
mother and daughter respectively.
Both husbands claim that they are
hen-pecked. C. H. Garrison says that
his wife forced him for long period
of the time to turn over all OF his
weekly salary to her, and that she al
lowed him only ten cents a day for
car fare and spending money. The re-
mainder of his money he says she
spent in extravaganza, in addition to
running up bills which he was unable
to pay. R. C. Hicks says that his
wife, who is the daughter, forced him
into marrying her and has ruled him
with an iron hand ever since. Threats
of violence, he says, are common
thing in the household.

fants Before Birth.

ditions at baby farms in Chicago
were revealed to-day in the Illinois
House committees investigation of

mothers contracted for the disposal
of their infants before birth, signing
an agreement which ends: Il prom
ise and declare l will never see said
child, but do release and abandon it
forever"

Columbia, April 19.-Governor
Blease today suddenly adjourned the
hearing on the requisition from Gov
ernor Sulzer of New York for the al
legged wire tappers, arrested in
Charleston and wanted in New York,

ton and had no right to issue instruc-
tions to him as governor. He had the
papers from Governor Sulzer and they
were made out legally and proper.

II, HYMAN "COMES TO LIFE"
Murder Mystery in Lancaster County
Probably Never Solved.

Lancaster, April 19.-Sheriff John
P. Hunter, who has been working dill
igently after some clue to the perpe-
traitors of the murder of the unknown
man whose body was found on the
banks of Twelve Mile Creek about a
month ago, and who was thought to
be Harry Hyman, Jewish peddler
of Bishopville, to-day received anoth-
er letter from Mr.. L. Schlesinger, Of
Bishopville, reading as follows:
SHERIFF John P. Hunter, Lancas-
ter, S. C.-Dear Sir: Harry Hyman
came to life last night about 9
O'Clock when the A. c. L. came in. He
remarked that he had been in that
part of Lancaster County at about
the time, but left there, going in the
direction of Columbia and the other
side of it. So, the body is not that of
H. Hyman, of course, it must be some
one else as we can readily see now. l
wish to express to you my sincere
thanks for your many kind efforts
and your favors, which l assure you
is very greatly appreciated. Yours
truly" IL. Schlesinger. >.

as to the slayer or the identity of the
victim and it looks now as if it will be
passed as one of the unsolved mys-

Negro Attacks Woman and BOY.

Florence, April 2O.-The wife of a
prominent Florence citizen and her
son, boy of about IL years, were
murderously assaulted by negro,
Herman Kelly, about 1890 o'clock
last night. Kelly applied at the home
of his victim to buy a pint of milk
for restaurant accustomed to buy
from her. She delivered the milk in
her own pitcher, none having been
brought. In a few minutes Kelly re-
turned the pitcher, paying for the
milk, and as the lady reached for it,
he caught her by the left arm, and
swung a long handled wrench used
by car inspectors, striking her on the
head. He forced her into the room,
striking her several times with the
heavy wrench, she screaming aloud.
Her son attempted to dash from the
room for assistance and Kelly caught
him, dealing him fearful blow on
the head with the wrench and follow
ing him to the yard, striking him
again. He then dashed toward the
back fence, as the lady's cries were
attracting persons from all around,
for the home is near the old Jacob
hotel on Front street. In trying to
get over the back fence his feet Slip
ped and his arms were skinned, but
he got away before the crowd reached
him. He was captured at the restau-
rant next door several hours later,
and with every evidence of being the
right negro, even to blood stains and
freshly washed cuffs and skinned
arms. He is now in jail. Both the
lady and her son are in serious
condition. The victim is the wife of
a we'll known yard conductor of the
Atlantic Coast Line.
Kelly is the same negro who was
sent to the chain gang for three years
some time ago, being caught under a
bed in a private house in the city. He
has worked recently at the industrial
school. He was a good worker when
on the chaingang, but the police have
been watching him since he was re-
leased.

FATHER FINDS STOLEN CHILD.
Searched Throughout Mississippi for
Many Months.

Columbia, Miss, April 21.-Rober1
Dunbar, the eight-year-old child who
was kidnapped at the home Of it's
parents near Opelousas, La, last Au-
gust, has been found and identified
by Mr.. Dunbar, the father, according
to statement made at the sheriff S
office here.
A nan giving his name as w. c..
Walters, has been placed in jail here,
charged with kidnapping the child.
Mr.. Dunbar has the child in his
possession, and while he is positive
in his identification, he has telegraph
ed Mrs. Dunbar to come here and see
the child Mr.. Dunbar stated that
his Identification was made by means
of certain scars and marks on the
child's body.
Walters, who travels about the
country in a wagon repairing clocks
and stoves, stated hat a widow in
North Carolina gave him the child
more than a year ago.
He was questioned closely by Mr..
Dunbar about his movements since
last August, and it is claimed made
several contradictory statements.
Walters was arrested here two
weeks ago, but told what appeared
to be reasonable story about the
child and was released. Mr.. Dull
bar was notified, however, and came
here to make a personal investiga-
ton. He found the child had been
left with a man named Wallace in
West Columbia. After identifying
the child. he and several deputies set
out in search of Walters, whom they
located near Morgantown, about 2
miles north of Columbia.
The Dunbars and their friends have
spent several thousand dollars in
search of the missing child, and sew
eral months ago offered large re-
ward for its recovery. Numerous
tramps and other migratory individ-
uals have been arrested in this and
other States suspected of being impli-
Gated in the kidnapping, because in
each case they were accompanied by a
child.

1T COSTS TO RUN A CIRCUS.
Many Tons of FoOdstuff Required to
Feed Men and Animals.

Has any one ever figured out what
a mint of money it costs to operate
the biggest present-day circus? Win
tering the Barnum & Bailey circus
alone consumes $4,000, independ-
ent of repairs and building new
equipage. But it's when. the circus
gets on the road that the financial
strain is felt. Each day requires an
expenditure of at least $500. Fig
ure it out for yourself for season
of eight months and see how much
money is put into circulation each
year.
Salaries of the performers range
from $50 to $500 week. May
Wirth, the young Australian eques-
trienne sensation, gets seasons sum
that would keep the average working
man on vacation for the rest Of
his life. 1t costs barrel of money
to get the animals which comprise
great popular feature of the circus.
The mother of the baby giraffe cost
$4,000. Tom, it's father, cost $12,-
900.
The equipment for this seasons S
show represents an outlay of $780,
600, of which s1,OOO,OO0 was spent
for the parade paraphernalia. The
railroad equipment is valued at more
than 100000. The horses and their
decorations are worth $4,000. The
menagerie is estimated to have cost
$4,000, and to be worth more than
that amount by reason of tricks drill
ed into the animals by trainers.
A tabulated list Of the items needed
for the daily sustenance of the CO.'S
mopolitan host will stagger you. For
the animals the daily consumption of
food is 7 tons of hay, 200 bushels of
oats, $50 bushels of corn, so bushels
of bran, 1 1-2 carcasses of beef for
the lions and tigers, and 700 pounds
of vegetables for the other animals
Then there are needed s tons of straw
for bedding.
What about the foodstuffs for the
1900 men and women who comprise
the human personnel Of the circus?
Here is an itemized list for a day,
taken from the statement of the chef:
Three hundred pounds of beef, $50
pounds of mutton, 200 pounds of
pork, $50 chickens, 500 loaves of
bread, half barrel of syrup, 72 cases
of eggs, 440 gallons of milk, 1900
pounds of butter, 1,40O pounds OF
fish. 25 bushels of apples, alternating
with California oranges, peaches, and
pears and other fruits in season.
Condiments and canned goods are
bought in cases by the gross. Sixty
dining room attendants serve this
varied bill of fare, and the high-sal-
aried chef has corps of eight assist
ants. The pastry cook has six assist

Congressman Wyatt Aiken, of this
State, has introduced a bill i'll con-
gress reducing the letter f ,ge rate
from two cents to one cent, this rate
to also include drop letters. We
have very little idea that the bill will
pass, and it certainly ought not to.
Two cents is cheap enough anyway,
and those who would derive most
benefit from a one cent letter rate
are well able to pay the present rate.
Then. too, from our knowledge of
postal affairs, We feel sure there
would be large deficit should the
letter rate be reduced, because of
the very large appropriations for
rural free delivery service as we'll as
so much second and third class mat
ter being handled at loss.

TWO YEARS IN REFORMATORY
Lad Arrested at Starr for Breaking
Into POStOffice.

Into POStOfhce.
Hezekiah Elgin, the lad arrested at
Starr several weeks ago on charge
of having broken into the postoffice
there and stolen letters, has been SEN
fenced by Judge Smith in the United
States court at Greenville to serve two
years in the National Training school
at Washington. The following ac-
count of the case is given in a special
from Greenville:
Hezekiah Elgin, 13-year-old lad
of good appearance, this afternoon
stood before Judge Smith IN the fed
eral court and in trembling tones
pleaded guilty to the charge of TAX
ing letters from a United States mail
box. The boy said that negro had
persuaded him to do the act. The
boys aunt, an elderly lady, appeared
also before Judge Smith and made a
fearful plea that the lad be returned
to her home where he had been rear
ed.
The boy had had very little school
ing, his aunt stated. He was now in
the third grade, according to his own
statement. After questioning the boy
closely, Judge Smith gave an order
that the lad be sent to the National
Training school for boys at Washing
ton for two years.
The district attorney stated that ef-
forts had been made to capture the
negro, but that they had been unsuc-
cessful. Mail.

The Colleton and Dorchester pa
pers condemn in strong terms the
conduct of the congressional primary
in those counties last week. 1t ap-
pears that money was openly and
shamelessly used to purchase votes,
and it seems reasonably sure that
the same conditions existed all over
the district. The State executive
committee should make a rigid in
vestigation of the election.

This newspaper can hardly be ac-
cused of any great amout of love for
corporations, but it seems to us that
it is high time some drastic action
was being taken against the damage
suit industry in this State. T he rail-
roads and other corporations are GER
tainly having a, hard time of il, for
damage suits and large verdicts
against them are the rule, not the
exception. At one time in South
Carolina it was said that the negro
was the only one who received Jus
tice" in the courts. Now it seems to
be the corporations who get it all.

If judges would put fines of $1,000
and $4,000 on blind tigers, like Judge
