KILLED BY A. G.. l.. SPECIAL.
Sumter Man Sitting on Track, Made
No Effort to Escape.

Sumter, March 3.-Peter w. Boy
kin, a son of Mr.. Hardy Boykin,
farmer living near Mayesville, was
killed Sunday afternoon, when he
was struck by a special passenger
train, near Chambers Siding, about
five miles from this city.
The dead man was 21 years of age,
and is survived by his father, one
brother and one sister. At the time
he was struck he was sitting on the
track, and, it is said, apparently
made no effort to get out of the way
of the oncoming engine. The train
was a special, running from Augusta
to Washington, and carrying troops
to the Inauguration. 1t was in charge
of Conductor Langdon. Jones and
Engineer Boone, both of Florence.
The body was taken from here to
Mayesville by the young mans faith
er this afternoon and will be buried
at Mayesville tomorrow morning.

Never-Stop Papers.

At this season of the year we re-
ceive a good many communications
from subscribers who want to know
how they can get rid of never-stop
papers. Some of them send US duns
received from collection agencies for
subscriptions which have been con-
tinued after the subscriber ordered
them discontinued. Others send cop
les of what purport to be subscription
laws, which seem to compel subscGlb-
ers to pay for papers which have
been sent them, whether ordered or
not.
The short and easy way to avoid
trouble with these never-stop papers
is to refuse to subscribe for them,
and refuse to receive them If they
are sent without definite order. Prac-
tically all of the worthless papers IN
the country could be put out of busl-
ness in one or two years if the peo-
pie would simply refuse to receive
them at any price. When a sub
scription has been given to never
stop paper, and has expired, the pa
per should be refused and the pub
Usher notified that it is no longer
wanted. If this is done, subscrlb-
er is under no obligation to pay for
it, and should not permit himself to
be bluffed into paying for it by bogus
collection agencies. A large per-
centage of these latter are merely
conduct ID by the papers themselves
under another name 1t is astonish-
ing that people continue to submit to
this gross imposition by never-stop
papers.-Wallaces' Farmer.

Negroes Kick on Segregation.

Atlanta, March 1.-Atlanta ne
groes who as class have never at
any time in the city's history tried to
force their presence as residents in
any section of the city inhabited by
white people, are none the less stren-
uously objecting to the proposed ac-
tion of council to establish a resi-
Dental dead line'-a Jim crow di-
vision of residential sections, over
the line of which it will be unlawful
for any negro to live or any negro in
stitution to be established.
Several leading Atlanta negro
preachers, who have always been as
one with the white people on all
questions bearing on the relation of
the two races, are in this instance
openly objecting to the establish
ment of such a dead line. 1t is un-
derstood that there will be fight in
council on the subject this afternoon,
as some of the members Of that body
are strenuously in favor of the pro-
posed ordinance. and others are just
as strenuously opposed to it.

NO LIGHT ON MILLS MYSTERY.
Missing Money Not Recovered-No
Arrests Made.

Chicago, March 3.-Despite the ef-
forts of the police, the strange story
told by Mrs. Mabel Mills, As years
old, wife of a real estate dealer in
San Antonio, Tex, that she lost or
was robbed of SAL, 900, after becom-
ing unconscious in Evanston, sub
urb, last Saturday night, remained
tonight mystery. No one had been
arrested and none of the money had
been recovered
Searching the ground where Mrs.
Mills said she struggled for more
than an hour and a half in the snow
and under porches, where it was
hoped the money, all in S. 900 bills,
might have been blown by the gale,
the police, after interviewing the Wo-
man at a hospital, announced they
had discovered these facts, which
they said only puzzled them.
Somewhat Conflicting.
Mrs. Mills said she became con-
scious only when she was being pick
ed up on the porch of Mrs. A. j..
Cooper, to which she had craWled;
whereas Chief of Police Shaffer, of
Evanston. said he had good authority
for stating that a blow causing the
bruise on the back of the woman S
head was not sufficient to have rem
dered her unconscious, and the ply
sicians at the hospital said Mrs. Mills
could not have lost consciousness
from any other cause.
The envelope in which Mrs. Mills
said she carried the money on the
street, and which was found open,
had not been sealed, although it was
one of the regular safety deposit en-
yelopes taken from a hotel where she
had been staying and where the clerk
said he had seen the money sealed.
Mrs. Mills tofd the police she was
lluluSISuI
money and said she wanted to leave
the city. She announced she might
be in St. Louis by tomorrow. After
going thoroughly into the case, Chief
Shaffer said he had no basis on which
to make any arrests.
The woman does not insist she
was robbed" Chief Shaffer said.
She says she became unconscious
end when revived the money was
gone"
In spite of the puzzling features OF
the case, Chief Shaffer said he was
continuing work on the theory that
footpads saw Mrs. Mills handle the
money on an elevated train, and, fol-
lowing her, knocked her down when
she walked up a dark street.

PEPPER IN THE PARSONS SOCKS.
Cured Him Of Cold eFet-An Arkan-
sas Example.

Of the many A. R. P. ministers
who have preached at Broad Creek,
l am proud to have been one. There
is not a congregation in our Synod
that is more loyal to our distinctive
principles than Broad Creek.
My first visit to the church was in
the winter of 1860, and l never will
forget q thing that took place on the
road to Lexington one very cold,
frosty morning. My hostess, Mrs.
Lackey, was very much afraid that
my feet would freeze, and so it was
that she told me plan that would
keep my feet comfortable all the way
to Lexington. l was glad to know
how that could be done. She gave
me two pods Of red pepper and told
me to pulverize them and to put the
dust in each sock. l cheerfully did
as the good woman directed, put on
my boots, mounted my horse and set
out on my journey, fearless Of the
frost. l thought it was a good in
vention, but in half hour it proved
to be too much of a good thing. l
had not gone over three miles when
my feet felt as if there was stove
under each foot. A few miles fur
ther it seemed as if my feet were on
fire, and l had to get down, take off
my boots and socks, shake out the
pepper and let my feet cool down. I
finished my journey in comfort and
gratitude to Mrs. Lackey.
In 1857 l told this experience to a
lady in Arkansas, about six miles
southeast of Monticello. She said: Il
will give you my husbands expert
ence and mine with pepper. He had
suffered with cold feet winter and
summer, and a doctor told him to
take five pods of long red pepper, cut
them in two and slip piece over
each toe and wear them half day.
But I do not know how he stood it
that long. He followed the doctors
advice and he has never had any
cold feet since. But that is not all;
he has never been able to sleep with
his feet under the cover at night on
account of hot feet. ."-Jno. H. Simp-
son, in Associate Reformed Presby-
terian.

bareheaded, trousers on over MS
night shirt, with suspenders down.
He was crying, lanienting that he had
killed Riley, stating that he would
not have done it for a million dol
lars.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Hunt
er's testimony attorneys for the State
asked to be INDUCED for consulta-
ton, after which they announced
that the prosecution would offer no
further testimony. Mr.. Mayfield for
the defense then stated that no testl-
mony would be offered for the de-
fense, and the case was closed.
The first argument was made for
the defense by Solicitor P. T. Hide
brand, and he was followed by w.
H. Welch for the State, each making
a short argument. Solicitor K. l..
Gunter followed for the State and Mr..
Mayfield closed for the defense.
Judge Spain then delivered a short
and concise charge to the jury, CIV
ing the law of the case. The jury
retired and in about three minutes
returned a verdict of not guilty.
There were a number of ladies
present throughout the trial OF the
case.
The jury returned a verdict few
minutes after six o'clock, Wednes-
day afternoon and court adjourned
for the day.
