KILLING IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY
Result of Difficulty at Parr Shoals
Construction Camp.

Winnsboro, Feb. 17.-News has
reached Winnsboro that Hensinger,
the foreman of the construction camp
at Parr Shoals, shot and killed Orr
Henry, the steward of the camp,
Yesterday morning. The sheriff,
when interviewed regarding the mat
ter, stated that on account of the
telephone being out of order between
the western side of the county and
this place, it had been impossible
to learn many of the details Of the
shooting, but the facts that can be
gathered show that there were some
opprobious words between the par
ties before Henry was shot by Hen
singer. The sheriff further stated
that he had been advised that a stray
shot struck A. w. Booth, bystand-
er. piercing the lung.
Hensinger has been arrested by
Sheriff Blease, of Newberry, and is
now in the jail at Newberry. Sheriff
Hood, of this county, is arranging
to have the prisoner brought to the
Jail here, the killing having occur
red in Fairfield county.

HORSE FALLS INTO WELL.
Plough Strikes Rock and Jerks AMI
NAL Back into Hole.

Barnwell, Feb. 13.-Mr. W. A.
Owens, sectionmaster for the South
ern Railway at Barnwell, had the
misfortune to lose a valuable plough
horse in very extraordinary man
ner this week. The horse was being
ploughed by negro in field near
town, and in making the turn around
an abandoned we'll, the animal be-
came frightened and dashed off. The
ploughshare stuck in the ground,
bringing the horse up short on the
brink of the we'll, where he lost his
balance and fell in. The well, be-
ing some 80 feet in depth and con-
tanning several feet of water, the
horse was drowned before assistance
could be rendered. Mr.. Owens was
not to be outdone, however. He
harnessed an OK which he owns and
the ploughing was soon going on
again without any further Interrupt
ton.

Women and Babes Cruelty Driven.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 12.-How chill
dren of tender years slave for hours
in canning sheds with their blistered
fingers wrapped in rags and likewise
in tenements making toys, flowers
and plumes; and how women toll
sometimes for mere pittances in in
dustrial Establishments in this State,
is graphically described in report
of the New York State factory in
yestigating committee which was sub
mitted to the legislature to-day. The
report says that Gamers operating in
the rural districts have never obeyed
the State child labor law because
they never have had to-" THE en-
ployment of mere babies" the COM
mission holds has been the result,
and it adds that of 1859 children
found at work in 33 sheds, the Oldest
was IA years old and the youngest
was three.
Many of the Gamers, the report
explains, are opposed to the employ
ment of children, and half of them
do not resort to it, but las the can
ming industry is largely devoted to ex-
ploitation of foreigners, the parents
of the children make them work"
Of women workers the report says:
"No woman can work from 16 to 21
hours a day for weeks, in some cases
even months, without permanent in
Jury to her health. Yet women are
doing just this in the upstate cam
neries and factories and shops dur
ing the six weeks Christmas rush.
In the large canneries the work
keeps up pretty regularly during a
season of four or five months. A
week of 1874, in cases 119A work

of comparative rest, but by another

BANDIT TRIES TO HOLD UP ~.
Caught After Shooting Two when
WouId-be Victims Break Away.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 16.-A
dozen lined up in the street at the
point of his revolver, proved more
than a highwayman could control
here to-day and when they began to
break away at the ends of the line
the bandit commenced shooting. AT
ter fatally wounding a boy aid bare
ly missing several men with his bull
lets, the bandit turned and ran, with
his intended victims at his heels. He
was overtaken two blocks away, but
was rescued on the arrival of the
police.
The attempted hold-up took place
not far from the new Union Station
A number of men were standing on
the corner enjoying the afternoon
sun when the robber, who told the
officers his name was D. R. Leeper,
sauntered along.
Hands up, everybody" Leeper
said, flourishing revolver.
No one hesitated and all obeyed
an order to line up against the side
of a building.
Finally Leeper's hat came off and
down the line he started with COM
mand for everybody to 'shell out y
At that instant two or three men at
the end jumped from the line and
ran and Leeper began shooting. A
bullet passed through the lungs OF
Francis Fitzgerald, a 16-year-old boy.
He probably will die. A. B. Moon, a
saloonkeeper, was grazed by bullet
and one man received a bullet hole
through his hat.
His revolver empty, Leeper start
ed to run, followed by the crowd. He
was overtaken, but the police arrived
and took him to station.

Seeing a Succubus.
(From Salmagundi.)

The manners, customs, dogmas,
and so on of the ages, always is
very interesting to me. I never tire
of poring over what l know to be
the shallowness of the human mind.
How weak, how frail is man; how
feeble his mind; how quick he is to
believe in that which is mere fab
rication and fancy, and often so slow
to catch the great principles of truth
which is in his very grasp. Then
how superstitious is feeble man.
What wonderful vagaries did, and
even does he now accept? How he
evaded the truth. Even David the
greatest of the Hebrew poets ex-
claimed: Il have said in mine haste
that all men are liars!"
A dissertation of the shortcomings
of the human family is not intended,
for it would require many years of
research and study to give a concise
statement of mans phantasmal fol-
lies.
Just who gave rise to the belief
in the Incubal and Succubal, I am
not prepared to say, but such a be-
lief comes from the darkest ages,
through the medieval, and even,
perhaps, to the present. The doc
trine of the two demons, is pc
culiar, to say the least: The theory
is that the incubus is male god or
demon who carries on midnight fir
tations with only charming maidens.
On the other hand the succubus is a
female whose charms are so wonder
full that none, or few men can resist
them.
In the Hindu Tantra we read GER
tain rites by which we may gain COM
panionship of this queen of the night;
which is to go at midnight hour to
a graveyard, worship her, call her
name, and if ones faith is sufficient
the succubus will surely come; and
when she comes so wonderful is her
charms so inviting her personality
till the man meeting her would be
as plastic clay in her hands, and that
dawning day alone would drive the
nymph away, and that the man would
be so infatuated till even then he
would be loath to leave. This theory
during the middle ages was not only
accepted by the laity but so also by
the clergy: even a writer like Au-
gustine accepting it, in part.
1t was midnight. I was alone II
my study delving deep into the mys-
teries of the Tantra, this book OF
Hindu lore and mythology. l was
reading of the charms of the oriental
succubus, her power, her magic and
so on l read with much care and
interest how to meet this lovely be-
ing, this matchless queen of night
this very witch of Endor. The meth
Cd was simple; go to graveyard at
midnight, call her name, have faith
in her, and she would come. Why
not make the experiment. l have
been making experiments all my life
along natural lines, however, but
now was to cast die in the realms
supernatural. Looking out in the
moonlight | could easily see an old
graveyard, used. perhaps, first by the
Indians, for in a cove hardly was al
one time an Indian village. This old
graveyard is a tangled mass of bam-
boo, cape jessamine and grapevlnes
so thick till human being would flnc
it very difficult to enter therein. Why
not go there and invoke some ma
rauding succubus to come to me just
as the Tantra said she would do.

GLOWING TRIBUTE
FROM HEFL|N TO
BOY CORN GROWER
Alabama Congressman Lauds
Work of Lester Bryant, Who
Met Tragic Death.

Hating the academic discussion OF
the agricultural appropriation BILL
Congressman J. Thomas Heflin of Ala
bama lent human interest to routine
session of the House when he paid
tribute to Lester Bryant, 1.-The little
corn boy from Kentucky" whe recently
met a tragic death in Washington.
Lester Bryant, "who produced more
white corn on one acre of Kentucky
ground than any other boy produced in
a like area in a half dozen States
around him." was asphyxiated in a
Washington rooming house while
dreaming of a visit he was to pay
next day to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture.
The name of the farmer lad is en-
rolled today on the Congressional Rec
ord and late yesterday the House paused
in its daily routine to hear. Mr.. Helm
pay eloquent tribute to the champion
corn grower of the Blue Grass State.
In part Congressman Heflin said:
when his ewes beheld for the frs.
time this glorious Capital of our coun-
try-how beautiful the vision to his en-
raptured gaze. But within a few hour.
O. the time when he would have heard
the Secretary Of Agriculture say, We'll
done, my boy, you have won the prize,
death touched him and he fell into that
mysterious sleep that kisses down his
eyelids still. The news Of his sad and
untimely death sent a pang Of sorrow
through this House and over the coun-
try. Plucked out Of life when hope was
high and the future seemed so bright
dead in the morning Of a happy. buoy
ant youth-time. And yet he did more
in his brief time on earth to teach the
art of intensive farming than thousands
Of men who have lived long and died of
sheer old age. He has done more for
his State and Nation in emphasizing
the marvellous possibilities of one acre
of ground than thousands of men who
have lived their three score years and
ten.
This little Kentucky boy bade fair to
become an ideal farmer. The example
of his sturdy life and the work that he
has wrought win be of benefit to his
fellows in the years to come. He did
not lean upon his hoe and gaze upon
the ground as did the desponding peas
ant in Markham's Man With the Hoe,
but with head erect and light upon his
face stood there on his fathers farm
a perfect little prince. in the kingdom
Of agriculture.
at Is a sad thing to see boy drift
ing aimlessly along devoid of pluck
and energy, lazy and indoient; but
how supremely refreshing, and how
pleasing to see boy full of vim and
