Scot Met SSOt.

The following Scotch tale is one of
President Wilson's favorites:
A Scotchman was strolling through
the market-place in Glasgow one day
and close at his heels followed his
faithful collie. Attracted by fine
display of shell and other fish, the
Scot stopped to admire, perhaps to
purchase. The dog stood by, gently
wagging its tail, while its master en-
gagged the fisherman in conversation
Unfortunately for the beast its tail
dropped for a moment over big bas-
ketful of fine, live Holsters. Instantly
one of the largest Holsters snapped
it's claws on the tail, and the sur
priser collie dashed off through the
market, yelping with pain, while the
lobster hung grimly on, though dash
ed violently from side to side. The
fishmonger for a moment was speech
less with indignation; then, turning
to his prospective customer, he baWl-
ed:
Mon mon. whustle to yer dog,
whustle to yer dog.'
"Hoot, mon,' returned the other
complacently, "whustle to yer lob
ster!'

Plans are being made by the
Branchville and Bowman railroad to
extend their line to Holly Hill, dis
tance of about 40 miles, to connect
with the A. G.. L. at that town, says
General Manager E. N. Mittle.
Mr.. Mittle says the freight business

some trouble.

to reach an agreement with them at
an early date for the necessary grad
ing. He stated that his road could
easily finance such an improvement

NEGRO KILLED BY OFFICERS.
Son Alleged to Have Confessed that
Father Set Barn on Fire

Laurens, Oct. 2l.-As a sequel to
the burning four weeks ago of the
barn of Nj. B. McCuen, prominent
citizen of Princeton, Sheriff John D.
Owings and deputies, in attempting
to effect the arrest Of Lace Glover,
a negro, and his two boys, on war
rants charging them with the crime,
was forced to kill the father, at half
past 5 o'clock this morning, at the
cabin home of the negroes in Dunk
lin Township, just across the line in
Greenville county.
On going to the house and sur
rounding it the sheriff approached
and raped on the door. Glover re-
sponded and opened the door after
getting light. When commanded by
the sheriff to surrender, the negro
reached for his gun in rack near
the door, but before he could use it
the sheriff and one of his deputies,
having luS ulOp Ou luC uOSlO, ooIh
fired, killing him on the spot. Eight
shots were fired, six of which took
effect in the negros body. The other
two found lodgment in the stock of
Glover's gun, which he held in his
hand.
Bob and Wesley Glover and their
mother were arrested by the officers
and brought to Jail to-day on the
same warrant. Before leaving for Jail
Bob Glover is said to have confess
ed to the officers that he went with
his father the night the barn was
burned and saw the old man apply
the torch to the building He further
said, it is claimed, that his mother
instigated the crime. The Glovers
lived on Mr. McCuen's farm until
short time before the fire and are
said to have threatened revenge
when forced to leave because of con-
tinual friction with their landlord.

Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, October 27.-There has
been two up-to-date marriages in our
town. Two or three years ago It did
not take so much for a couple to get
married. Wanted only a few witness
es, a preacher, and license to make
the pair happy. Now it takes ever
so much work. Have to practice
about a week or two and have q re-
hearsal once or twice so as to get the
ring on the right finger at the right
time or they will not be married, and
happiness gone.
Some parties are trying to make
an agreement along that line, but
don't think they will occupy so much
time, for already silver hairs are
showing, and, too, one party has
had experience, so business must
move up.
Mrs. S. V. Smith was buried last

HOMICIDE NEAR LAURENS
ERNEST AND HUNT SHARP SHOT
By CORNELIUS EDWARDS.
Two Brothers are Slain by Brother
in-LaW, Said to Have Been Re-
suit of Domestic Trouble.

Laurens, October 27.-Ernest and
Hunt Sharp, brothers, aged 21 and
IS, respectively, were shot and killed
to-day near Barksdale by Cornelius
Edwards, aged 21, brother-in-laW
Of Hunt Sharp. In the fight Ed
wards was wounded, but not serious
ly, and was later brought to Jail by
Rural Policeman Columbus Owens.
The tragedy occurred about two
miles from Barksdale at 9 O'Clock
this morning. Edwards, who lives at
Rarksdale, was hauling wood from
the vicinity in which the Sharps re-
sided. He was driving a four-horse
team and met the Sharp boys when,
it is alleged, one of them opened
fire with a shotgun, shooting Ed
wards off his saddle mule. Before
Edwards could rise to his feet Ernest
Sharp, it is said, ran up and placed
the muzzle of his gun on Edwards s
chest and commanded him not to
move.
By this time Edwards had got his
hand on his pistol and lying fiat of
his back he managed to get the
weapon to his side and shot Ernest
dead in his tracks. Edwards then
attempted to get away from the
place, whereupon Hunt followed him
and fired once or twice, but missed
him.
Finding that the fire was getting
too hot for him Edwards determined
to stand his ground, and, it is claim
ed, turned upon his pursuer. With
one we'll directed shot, he brought
the younger Sharp to the ground
mortally wounded, death ensuing in
about an hour.
Edwards returned to his home,
where he was later attended by a
physician and afterwards taken in
custody by officers.
The inquest was held this after
noon by Magistrate Hellams, of Dials
Township.
To-day's double tragedy is said to
have been the result of i'll feeling be-
tween the Sharp brothers and Ed
wards, caused, it is alleged, by do
mestic trouble, which began some
time last summer, before the mar
riage of Hunt Sharp to the sister of
Edwards. 1t seems that since the
beginning of the alleged trouble, all
parties have been going prepared for
what occurred when they met to-day.

Underwood and HobsOn Lock Horns.

Representative Richmond Pearson
Hobson of Alabama and his col
league, Majority Leader Underwood,
engaged in a bitter debate on the
floor of the house over the senatorial
contest in their state, in which they
are rival candidates. The oratorical
duel was precipitated by Mr.. Hob
son reiterating utterances he made
last week in a speech at Wetumpka,
Ala, intimating that Mr.. Under
wood was the tool of Wall street
and the liquor interests and charg-
ing that he had gained Alabama 8
support in the last presidential cam
paign through false pretenses.
Cheers from Democrats and Re-
publicans greeted Mr.. Underwood as
he rose to reply, and later, when Mr..
Hobson tried to interrupt, there
were loud cries of "Sit down, sit
down; you've had your time"
The climax of the dramatic scene
came when the majority leader, fac
ing about in his place, asked:
"Is there any other man in this
chamber who believes the charge
that am or ever have been the tool
of Wall street,"
He was answered by shouts of
mo, no." from both sides Of the
house.

Japanese View of Business Integrity.

A japanese who had contracted
for certain machinery, and desired to
get out of his contract without hav-
ing to pay the heavy penalty involv-
ed, wrote the following letter to an
associate, says the Railway and Eli
gineering Review:
Regarding the matter Of escap-
ing the penalty for non-delivery of
the bar machine, there is only one
way to creep around same by diplo-
mat, and we must make statement
of strike occur at our factory (of
course big untruth) and please ad-
dress my person as enclosed form OF
letter, and believe this will avoid the
trouble of penalties of same. Mr..
B. is a most religious and competent
man, and also heavily upright and
godly, it fears me useless to apply for
his ignature-please attach same by
Yokohama Office, making forge, but
no cause for fear of prison happen
ings as this is often operated by
other merchants of highest integrity.
1t is the highest unfortunate Mr.. B.
is so godlike and excessive awkward
for business purposes. I think much
better to add little serpent-like wis
dom to upright manhood and thus
