BAMBERG S. THURSDAY AUGUST 7, 1913.
CHILD'S INJURIES FATAL.
Little Harold StackhOuse, Fearfully
Scalded, Passes Away.

Florence, August 4.-Harold, the
6-months' old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. Lacy Stackhouse, of Mullins, who
was brought to Florence hurriedly On
Thursday evening, died Friday morn
ing at the Florence Infrmary.
The little fellow, bright and
promising child, was playing about
the kitchen On Thursday while its
mother was preparing water for iced
tea. The little fellow, unobserved,
walked up near the stove and reach
ing up caught hold of a two quart
tin cup which was filled with boiling
water and pulled it over on him.
The boiling water struck the little
fellow in the top of the head, scald-
ing him fearfully.
Just as the child pulled the cup
over his father stepped in the door
of the kitchen and tried to prevent
the horrible accident, but as he reach
ed out for the child to keep the water
from striking him, the cup turned
and the water was spilled on the
child and few drops struck Mr.. Stack
house On the hand.
The child was brought to Florence
on the first train and was accompani-
ed by it's parents. 1t was carried to
the Infirmary, but the attending ply
sicians soon saw that it was a hope
less case but did all within their pow
er to give the little fellow ease from
pain.

PERFUNIED PIG IN CLOVER.
Porcine Pet is Washed and Coupled
Daily and Eats from Silver Spoon.

Mrs Whitney Newton, well-knoWn
Denver society matron, has new
pet-a baby pig.
Young Robert Newton brought
home the shoat few evenings ago.
He was much entertained by the an
tics of the animal, and all went we'll
until he wished to attend a dance.
A maid cared for it that evening un-
til midnight, when she turned it over
to her mistress.
Mrs. Newton took the shoat into
her arms and tried to make it COM
Portable, but without success. Fin
ally she got a fine piece of hemstitch-
ed linen, embroidered with flowers,
wrapped it gently about the pig, then
laid him cautiously upon the downy
pillow beside her own.
Piggy gave satisfied little squeak,
doubled up his feet and went off to
sleep happy. The cunning act won
Mrs. Newton's heart. His white skin
is washed and combed and perfumed,
and. he sleeps in a downy bed every
night beside his mistress. He also
eats from a silver spoon.-Denver,

Getting En- Rapport.

Perhaps you have heard this be-
fore-anyway, here it is:
The lieutenant governor of West
ern State is>an exceedingly nervous
man. In course of duty it became
necessary for him to visit the State
penitentiary. The warden gathered
up his flock to listen to brief ad-
dress by the official, who had not
prepared himself for any thing OF
that sort and was plainly embarrass-
ed. Then he gathered himself up
and began:
MY fellow citizens"
That did not sound quite right
and he made another dash.
my fellow convicts-".
The prisoners began to grin, and
the speaker did the same and broke
loose again.
well, 1 don't know exactly how to
address you, boys, but I'm mighty
glad to see so many of you here"

Defending Mother, Kills Brother

Monroe, \. c., July 30.-Twenty-
year-old Walter Gaddy, who cut the
throat of his brother, Will Gadd, yes
terday afternoon was to-day placer In
the county Jail here. The killing
occurred near the home Of the moth
er of the two men, Mrs. John Gaddy,
four miles east of Marshville, just
this side of the Anson county line.
Will Gaddy, who was 29 years OF
age, married and was the father of
two children, lived on his own farm,
about a half-mile from the home OF
his parents. Walter lived with his
mother. The father is in the State
Hospital for the Insane of Morgan
ton.
A short while before he was ia
ken to the asylum the father gave
Will permission to take younger
brother, who is a minor, to work
with him for year. However, it
seems that the youngster was needed
at home. Out Of this, it IS said,
the trouble began.
Yesterday afternoon the older
brother, who is said to have been
drunk, came to the home OF his
mother and younger brothers, and
armed WITH a shotgun ordered his
mother and Walter to go to his
home. When about half the distance
had been covered, Will is said to
have attacked his mother, choking
her until Walter interfered.
After having been knocked down,
the younger man arose to his feet,
drew pocket knife and literally cut
his brother to pieces, stabbing him
in the stomach and back and finally
cutting his throat. Death resulted in
a few minutes.
Walter then telephoned an officer
and surrendered. He was brought
here today. Court is in session, and
an application will be made for bail
at once.

RICHES FOR \ BEGGAR.
5000 Pounds for Solving the Riddle
of a Monument in Naples.

"On May l every year I have a
golden head" For 40 years the
worthy people of Naples, including the
most learned of learned folk, endeav-
ored to solve the riddle Of this enig-
matte inscription on marble column,
which an eccentric Frenchman at the
beginning of the 10Th century had
erected in one of the chief streets Of
the city. says London Tit-Bits. On
May l for a number Of years after
the erection of the column people
came and peered at it, thinking that
it's head would at least be covered
with gold but no miracle happened,
and at last the people got tired OF
puzzling over the riddle and came
to the conclusion that it was but a
Joke on the part of the Frenchman.
Then it occurred to the authorities
that probably the Frenchman had
buried the treasure under the col
umn. They had it taken down, but
nothing but earth was found and the
column was re-erected.
Then came a happy idea on the
part of Annibale Tosci, beggar as
lazy and as ragged as only Neapolltan
beggars can be, who early one morn
ing passed the column and stood and
stared at the inscription. 1t was a
lovely summer morning, and the sun,
in a cloudless sky, cast long shadow
Of the column on the ground.
Il have it," said the beggar.
He told nobody that he believed he
had found the solution of mystery
which had puzzled men for so many
years, but on the following first of
May he came to the spot with a pick
and shovel. He waited until the
clock of the neighboring monastery
of San Vito struck six, then he began
to dig at the spot touched by the end
Of the columns S shadow. He mad not
dug very deep before he came on a
leather satchel Of French workman
ship, which he quickly seized, con-
cealed beneath his shirt and retired
to lonely courtyard to examine.
Breathlessly he opened the satchel
and found within the sum of 5000
pounds. After all, the inscription
was true, and the eccentric French
man had not lied.
Although beggar, Annibale Tosci
was prudent man. He went away
to Mantau, bought a small farm and
lived on his own property, cultlvat-
ing his own vines and olives, until
his death a few days ago.

AIKEN MAN KILLED BY SON
DOCK WALTON KILLED BY LEE
WALTON.
Small Boy Uses Pistol When His
Father Beats His Mother.
Lodged in Jail.

Augusta, Ca, Aug. 5.-News reach
ed here this afternoon that Dock Wal
ton, a white man, who has been liv-
ing in Aiken county for several
months, was shot and killed at his
home at Milledgeville, about IL miles
from Aiken, by his 11-year-old son,
Lee Walton, last night.
Walton went to his home drunk
and began to beat his wife. He was
told by the small boy to stop, but
paid no attention to him. When his
father continued to whip his>mother,
the little boy, small for his years,
grabbed up a revolver and fired from
behind his father. Two bullets pierc-
ed the fathers head, entering from
the rear and coming out of the fore
head, one just over the right eye.
When Sheriff Howard and Rural
Policeman Samuels, summoned from
Aiken, reached the scene, Walton lay
in a puddle of blood.
The boys mother told the officers
what had taken place. She said that
her husband has been in the habit OF
beating her, but that he had often
threatened to kill her if she told any
one. The little boy, she said, had
seen his father whip her before and
had told her he would put stop to it
Mrs. Walton also told the officers
that her husband, who has been 60
ing under the name of Joe Vincent
since coming to Aiken county to live,
assumed that name for the reason
that he got into trouble in Alabama
and had to leave that State. Ihey
then went to North Carolina and
there her husband got into, trouble
again. He has not been known by
his own name since he went to Aiken
county and she says he is wanted
also in Walhalla for stealing whiskey.
The little boy showed no signs OF
nervousness when he was taken into
the custody of the officers but ap-
ueared to feel that he deserved credit
for what he had done in the protec-
ton of his mother. He was placed IN
the Aiken jail.

Til1nan Gives reason.

Washington, August 1.-Comment-
ing on a statement in to-day's New
York Sun, which quotes the bankers
of the metropolis as saying that, ac-
cording to their reports, financial ar
rangements for the moving of the
crops in the South and West have
been going on quietly and smoothly,
and the country banks are fairly we'll
supplied with money, Senator Till
man said to-day that the statement
which he issued yesterday calling
upon the Government to come to the
relief of the banks in the South and
West was based upon information
given him by leading bankers of
South Carolina.
The threat of certain stand-pat Re-
publican Senators that if the Admis-
istration intended to insist on cur
rency legislation at the present ses-
sion the Republicans would delay &C
ton on the tariff bill is being met
with the suggestion form Senator
Tillman and other Democrats that a
currency relief measure be attached
TO the tariff bill as a rider and enact
ed at the same time. If the Republl-
cans are blufing they are in danger
Of having their bluff called.

THRILLING RESCUE OF CHILD.
Engineer Snatches Boy from Trestle
and Lifts Him Aboard.

Clarksburg, w. Va, August g.
Hubert L. McHenry, an engineer of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
tonight saved the life of Wilson AL
len, years old, whom he discovered
in the centre of a siXtyfoot trestle
near this city.
The engineer had just made a fly
ing switch with his engine. AS soon
as he saw the boy he climbed over
the coal pit of the locomotive, which
was "backing" at fast rate of speed.
BY hanging on the rear end of the
tender, he picked up young Allen in
one arm. The boy remained cool
as he saw the fast coming engine,
and held up his arms to McHenry as
the locomotive bore down upon him.

Why She Invented "Bloomers.'

1T may that some day, if the
present mad desire Of the women for
unconventionality in dress continues,
we shall see our fair sex clothed IN
trousers, but I hope that time Will
never come" remarked James Suit
ton. a veteran lawyer of Vineland.
\. J.. at the New willard. Il see that
the New York tailors have drawn tne
line at the trouser effect tor women,
because they say the women
themselves will not submit to getting
out of skirts. l believe that DR.. Mary
Walker was pretty near the first
American woman to depart from con-
yentional woman's garb when about
fifty years ago she donned trousers.
II was not DR.. Mary, however, VINO
started the present movement, but
the widow of a Vineland farmer
who wore the first pair of "bloom-
ers.'
II don't know how many years
ago it was that "bloomers' were first
worn, but the Vineland woman was
responsible. There was a farmer
near Vineland named Bloomer,
who died and left his wife with
small family of children and no other
near relatives. Mrs. Blcomer mad
been accustomed to helping her
spouse work the farm, and when ne
died she attempted to keep up the
work. She discovered soon that she
could not work in the fields in Wo-
mans ordinary dress, and she could
not afford to hire a man to do the
work. 1t might have been all right
for the women of Europe to follow
the plough in woman's garb, but
Mrs. Bloomer did not purpose to
give the people of Vineland the op-
portunity to criticise her. Nor did
she want to adopt trousers. AS COM
uromise she constructed the hrst
'bloomers. s.'-Washington Post.

Columbia. Aug, 2.-'1 consented
to a bond from $1,000 to $3.50"
said Thomas H. Peoples, attorney
general. today, discussing the charg-
es against L. B. Singleton, solicitor
of the Twelfth Judicial circuit. So
licitor Singleton was charged with
assault of criminal intent upon mar
ried woman of Conway, in Horry

ing to bond in the above amount.
Il don't know where Solicitor Sim
gleton went from here and I don't
know whether or not he has secured

crime was committed May 30.
Solicitor Singleton could not be
located at any of the hotels. Judge
Ernest Gary was out of Columbia on
business and it is not known whether
he was asked to sign an order per-
mitting the solicitor to bond.

She Makes Choice at Altar

Standing before the altar at ST..
Paul's Episcopal church, San Diego.
CAL, on Friday, in the presence OF
two men, to each of whom she had
avowed her love and to whom she
had given her promise of marriage,
with license to we'd either, and with
Rev. Charles Barnes waiting to make
her the wife of her choice, Helen
Porter Garfield, wealthy society girl,
was forced to make her final choice.
Percival NJ. Wood of San Diego, who
did not win the girl, has just told the
story of the astonishing case.
James F. Buckley, son of wealthy
Brockton, Mass, manufacturer, told
Miss Garfield of his love for her and
had secured her promise to become
his wife. Percival Wood loved her
equally and she told him that she
would we'd him, too. Both men made
appoinsments with Rev. Mr.. Barn
es for the same hour at the church.
Each had marriage license. Like a
drama of love, the girl at the climax
of the play had to make a choice for
better or for worse.
During that dreadful moment as
she herself expresses it in a letter to
Wood after she had married Buck
ley, she fguratively dealt the cards
of love. Fortune decided for Buck
ley.
Wood wished her good fortune,
bade her farewell and passed out of
the church and out of her life.
