Thinking South Carolinians consider
the tightening of the primary law the
most important issue in the State
outside of compulsory education.
The people of South Carolina can
hope for little from the general as
sembly. The fight for a clean prima-

Democratic convention which meets
in Columbia next May. John Gary

a committee of seven at an early date
to make recommendation as to a

Fight With Snake; Three Dead.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. IA hor-
rible tragedy occurred in the Roles
son family on the banks of the Su-
wannee river, in Lafayette county,
Wednesday afternoon. Three chill
dren met death-two from snake
bite, the third from drowning.
Mrs. Rolesson sent her little boy
to deliver a message, but before the
child had gone very far his screams
attracted the mother, who, busy with
her baby, sent a younger child to as
certain the trouble. Presently the
screams Of the second child attracted
the mother, who put her baby on the
floor and ran to their assistance. AS
she approached she saw a rattlesnake
sinking its fangs into the smaller
child.
After beating away the snake Mrs.
Rolesson gathered the children in her
arms and started for home, where
both died within a few minutes. In
the meantime the baby, left at home
alone, fell into tub of water and
was drowned.

nsed him constantly thereafter
throughout the war, changing his
name from J4ff to Traveller
Capt. Johnston gave me the fol-
lowing facts about Traveller which
may be o" interest. His sire was the
son of an imported Arabian horse
which was noted sire of horses in
Greenbrier county. His dam was a
dark iron gray mare bought by John
ston's father, Andrew d. Johnston,
from farmer of Greenbrier county
named Sam Richmond. Richmond
had obtained the mare from a Metho:.
dist minister, whose name Johnston
did not recall but who had brought
her from Kentucky. From this
mare the elder Johnston had raised
several colts, but JEFF Cor Traveller
as he was afterwards to be known)
was the best of them all. He was
gray in color with dark name and
tail, stood fifteen and a half hands
high and was we'll built and COM
pact. He showed up better in action
than at rest, moving with his head
and tail we'll up. He had excellent
gaits for the uses for which Gen. Lee
desired him-a fast walk, ,trot and
q canter.
Gen. Lee rode the horse from the
time he bought him throughout the
war and had him at AppomattoX,
When he went to Washington and
Lee University to assume his duties
as president, he rode into Lexington
alone on Traveller, and during his
term as president OF that institution
he was often seen riding the famous
charger about the neighboring roads
in the afternoon. Traveller outlived
Gen. Lee by year or two, | think
Capt Johnston stated that he had
seen the horse several times during
the war after Gen. Lee had bought
tie animal, and that after the war
he saw the horse once--in a parade in
Richmond in which one Of Gen. Lee s
daughters rode Traveller. Traveller
died, I think, of lockjaw. He was
given a decent burial in Lexington,
and some three years ago Thomas f.
Ryan gave a sum Of money for the
purpose Of exhuming the skeleton so
that it could be preserved. The skele-
ton is now either at Washington and
Lee University or in the Battle Abb
bey at Richmond, I do not recall

summer in our country. The oriole
is tropical bird too, in way. He
has cousins who live in the jungles
of warm Southern climes. Some peo-
pie even tell us that he used to live
there himself. Now in those jungles
there are snakes-dozens, yes, hun
dreds Of snakes. They all like birds
eggs. If the nest is on solid limb
or in tuft Of grass the snake can
easily find himself nice breakfast.
So, when the Heavenly Father who
loves birds was giving them the nest
building instinct, He planned for the
orioles and some of their cousins
among the tropical birds to swing
their nests from the tips of slender
boughs where eggs and bird
lings would be safe from the snakes.

Capt. Johnston is q highly reppta-
BILE citizen OF Greenbrier county, and
since he ds known to every one there
as the man who raised Traveller.
Capt. Johnston told mo that at
the time Gen. Lee first saw the horse
he (Johnston) was a private in the
60th Virginia infantry and was in
camp in Fayette county. Being fa-
miliar with the country he was de-
tailed to recruit horses for the army
and, having much riding to do in the
performance Of this duty, he wrote
home to his father on mis- farm near
Blue Sulphur Springs aud asked him
to send him q gray COLT named JEFF
by his father. 1t was at the camp in
Fayette county that Lee first saw the
colt, which was then four years old.
Lee was very much struck with him
ston informed the General that he
had already promised to sell the
horse to Capt. Jos. Broun, the quar-
termaster of the regiment, that a
and that he was to deliver the horse
to Capt. Broun as soon as he (John-
ston) had finished his task of secur-
ing horses for the army. Feeling
flattered, however, that the COM
manding general of the army had
admired the horse so much that he
wanted to buy him for use during
the war, Johnston went to Capt.
Broun and told him of Lees desire
and suggested that, if Broun was not
disposed to insist upon having the
horse, he permit Johnston to sell him
to Lee. This Broun graciously con-
sented to do, waving all claim that
he might have had to the horse.
Very shortly after this, however,
and before the horse could be turned
over to Gen. Lee, the General was or
dered to the coast Of South Caro-
lima to take charge Of the military
operations there. Not long after
this the Goth Virginia, Johnston's
regiment, was also ordered 20 South
Carolina, Johnston going with it
and think Capt. Broun. Knowing
that they would see Gen. Lee in
South Carolina, Broun suggested to
Johnston that he take the horse to
South Carolina with him so that he
could turn it over to the General.
Company B, Johnston's company, left
the train at Coosawhatchie, and it
happened that Lee was standing near
the railroad tracks as the horse was
taken out Of the car. Knowing both
Broun, and Johnston and recognizing
the horse at once, Gen. Lee said,
Boys, I see you have brought me my
colt Johnston stated that Gen. Lee
then paid him SITS for the horse. He

Foods That Bind
Little Children
START THEM OFF RIGHT WITH A
GOOD LAXATIVE AND THEN
WATCH THEIR DIET.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet OF their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give it in
digestion, and urge it to take more
of what is quickly digested.
IL the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately
be given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. BY this Is not meant a physic
or purgative, for these should never
be given to children, nor anything
like salts, pills, etc, What the child
requires is simply small dose Of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which in
the opinion Of thousands of watchful
mothers Is the ideal remedy for eny
child showing a tendency to consti-
patton. So many things can happen
to constipated child that care is
necessary. Colds, piles, headaches,
sleeplessness, and many other annoy
ances that children should not have
can usually be traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost fami-
lies are never without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when
some member of the family may
need it, and all can use it. Thousands
endorse it, among them Mrs. M. e.
Darling, r. F.. d. No. 4, Belleview,
Pa, who writes: 81 certainly think
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin saved
my baby's life. Marjorie is a bottle
baby and could not get her food to

small dose Of Syrup Pepsin when she
had collie it always cured her." DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is sold by
druggists at fifty cents and one dol
lar bottle, the latter size being
bought by those who already know
its value, and it contains proportions
ately more. Results are always guar
anteed or money will be refunded.
Every one likes Syrup Pepsin, as
1t is very pleasant to the taste. 1t is
also mild and non-griping and free
from injurious ingredients.
If no member Of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make personal trial
of it before buying 1t in the regular
way of druggist, send your address

charleston Sunday News }

At the request of the Sunday News,
Ex-Governor d. c. Hayward has con-
sented to give for publication on Gen.
Robt. e. Lees birthday an account
of singular coincidence which oc-
CURED two years ago and which
throws new light on the history of
Traveller, the famous horse which
Gen. Lee rode throughout his cam
paign in Virginia. The facts con.
corning Travellers history which are
here given have never been published
before. Governor Hayward Is conf
dent OF their accuracy, but, as will
be seen, they are not based on his
own personal knowledge, but were
given to him by the Virginia man
who delivered the horse to Gen. Lee.
about two years ago." said Gov
ernor Hayward, while visiting the
litrie town of Lewisburg, tho county
seat of Greenbrier county, happen
ed to be in a store one morning when
l was introduced to Capt James w.
Johnston, an elderly gentleman who
was a farmer in Greenbrier county.
He inquired where l was from, and
on being told that | came from South
Carolina, he remarked that he had
once visited that State. / asked him
when he had been in South Carolina
and he replied that it was during the
war. In answer to another question,
he stated that he had been in the
neighborhood Of Yemassee, McPher-
sonville and Coosawhatchie.
For some strange reason, his
mention Of the name Coosawhatchie
led me to remark that it was at Coo
sawhatchie that Gen. Lee bought
Traveller and more in spirit Of fun
than for any other purpose l sought
to make much of the fact that the
great soldier had come to my State to
buy his horse. The old gentleman,
however, said at once that / was
mistaken, and on my asking him how
he knew that / was wrong, he replied
that he himself had raised Traveller
in Greenbrier county, which was then
part Of Virginia, and that he had
delivered the horse to Lee at Coo
sawhatchie. 81 delivered him to
him there" he said, "but l raised
him here"
Being much interested, I asked
him to give me all the facts in re-
gard to the horse and how and where
Gen. Lee had obtained him. This he
very kindly proceeded to do. l have

count is absolutely correct since

At mass meeting in a small
country town a large quantity Of re-
freshments were distributed to keep
the audience In good humor, says the
Kansas City Star. The first speaker
rose after the noise had ceased to
some extent and began his speech by
saying:
"The old hall Is full tonight" but
here his voice was drowned by the
confusion. When 1t had subsided he
began again by saying:
"The old hall is full tonight"
He paused for rhetorical effect and
a thick voice in the back of the hall
said slowly and deliberately:
