GUN BURSTS AT Fl. MOULTRIE.
Three Arfillerymen Killed and
Nine or More Injured.

Four soldiers were killed and
nine or more seriously injured Fri
day night at Fort Moultrie, near
Charleston, when the breech blew OFT
a three-inch gun which was being
used for target practice. Privates
Baxter Christensen and Dalton were
killed, the former two being cut in
two and dying instantly.
Capt Hanna, who was standing
with several other other officers OF
the coast artillery. was fatally
wounded by a fragment from the
exploded cannon. Sergeant Lamar,
of the hospital corps, was injured IN
the right arm and hand.
One account stated that the trag-
edy occurred at Battery Bingham,
and another that it occurred at Bat
terry Lord. When this edition went
to press it was impossible to verify
reports that were in circulation.
1t was stated by a resident of Sui
livan's Island that several officers
were reported wounded, Capt Hanna
being one of them. He said it was
difficult to learn just how many
were wounded when the fragments
of the cannon scattered among the
soldiers close by.
1t was reported that the breech
had not been properly closed after
the insertion of a cartridge and that
when the cap was exploded the
breech was thrown back with terri
fic force.
The wounded men were rushed to
the post hospital, where immediate
attention was given them. Several
Charleston physicians, responding to
the alarm. went hurriedly to the fort
and assisted in taking care Of the
victims.-Neacs & Courier.

COLD AND APPETITE.
" You Want to Get Really Hungry Try
the Sub Zero Treatment.

As everybody knows, there have
been devised various methods
whereby exceedingly low tempera-
lures have been obtained.
While the arctic regions provide
some fairly cold weather-say, GO or
IS degrees below zero, F.-the
scientists have been able to surpass
natures achievements in this line,
and when they wish $50 or $50 de-
grees below zero they can obtain it.
How this is done it is unnecessary
here to state. 1t is interesting to
note the effects of such low temper
atures on animal life.
Dogs when introduced to such an
environment withstand it well, pro-
vided they are covered in blankets
and wool and provided the expert
ment is of short duration. But a
curious fact is that when they
emerge from such a temperature
they are fearfully hungry.
Having seen that dogs stood the
experiments well, one experimenter
tried the effects of intense cold
upon himself and went down into
his 'Fcold pit" carefully dressed in
warm clothing and furs. The tenn
perature was maintained steadily at
10 below zero c., 1G6 F.
After four minutes the expert
menter felt very hungry and was
more so when he put an end to the
experiment. coming out of the cold
after eight minutes. He took a
hearty meal and enjoyed it thor
oughly, and this seemed all the more
strange since for years he had not
known what it meant to be hungry.
Appetite had been a word without
meaning to him, and the digestion
of each meal was commonly such a
painful process that he ate very lit
tie and never enjoyed it.
He repeated the "cold expert
ment" daily for a week, and after
eight cold baths of eight or ten min
utes each his pain and distress after
eating vanished. Appetite was re-
stored and digestion became pain
less.-Harper's Weekly.

A Federal Duel.

The most terrible duel fought at
any time in Paris was the one be-
tween Colonel D., an old Bonapart-
list officer, and NJ. de G. of the
gardes du corps, a mere youth but
of herculean strength. The two
men, lashed together so as to leave
their right arms free, were armed
with short knives, placed in hack
nev coach and driven at a tearing
gallop around the Place de la Con-
corde. They were taken out of the
coach dead. The colonel had eight
cen stabs. the youth only four, but
one of these had pierced his heart.

PUBLIC COMFORT
STATION BOOSTED
Leading Citizens lndorse Move
ment and Suggest Plans for
Its C0nSummation.

The movement for a public com
fort station in Atlanta has received
impetus in the few days since it was
launched, through Endorsement by
leading citizens.
The plan most favored is to place
the station at some central point and
equip it with blootblack stands, news
stands. writing desks, telephones and
similar conveniences, having suffi-
cient attendants to maintain it in a
sanitary manner II is proposed to
have it under the supervision of the
police department.
L. c. Green, a member of the Cham
Der OF Commerce, suggested Friday
that the station be constructed south
Of the Peters Building, beneath the
steps leading down to Wall Street,
or that the Pryor Street underpass
be used by closing the pass midway
and using the north end for women
and the south end for men, remodel
ing the underpass to meet the pur-
pose.
THE money for this plan very
easily could be raised by the City
Council" said Mr. Green, but if the
city did not desire to engage in the
project, / believe there are plenty of
enterprising men with money who
would build such a place and lease 1t
from ten to twenty years to some re-
liable man who could have a soda
fount, cigar stand, news stand, boot
black stand and other conveniences. -

The contest between Mr.. Wise and

House, as he will have rounded out
an even 20 years in Congress at the
expiration of his present term.
Judge Bartlett has made no formal
statement of his intention to retire,
however, as Congressman Hardwick
has, and it may be that he will run
again. If he does not, it seem likely
that Mr.. Wise may receive the office
without opposition.

The Kimball House lobby nowadays
is a bewildering mass of placards an
nouncing the various reasons why
this, that and the other new county
should be created by the present Leg
islature.
In all, there are a bakers dozen OF
new counties knocking at the door of
the Legislature for admission, and at
least two or three of them are being
viewed with considerable favor.
The proposed new county of Can
der, to be fashioned of slices OF those
three monster counties-Bulloch
Tattnall and Emanuel-was the first
one to get before the Legislature for
consideration. On the opening day
bill was introduced calling for a GER
tificate of birth from the General As
sembly for Gambler.
This county seems likely to win
out. 1t generally is looked upon as
a sound proposition, and many legis-
lators are outspoken in their advocacy
of it,
The present Legislature is not hos
tile to the new county idea, when the
idea is meritorious. and 1t generally
is agreed that Gambler is.
Indeed, the impression is that the
sole test the General Assembly Will
put upon proposed new counties win
be that of merit. If ii is a good prop
OsitiOn, really and truly it will stand
a fine chance to go through; If it isn't,
it will stand little, if any, chance.
That seems to be the beginning and
the ending of the situation the new
counties are up against.
1t undoubtedly seems to be true
that every new county created by the
Legislatures in the past few years has
very materially increased tax returns,
and there is general satisfaction in
every one of them.
1t is not probable that all of the
new county propositions Will go
through. but it seems likely that sew
eral of them may.
And. anyway, Gambler, the first en-
try, looks like a pretty good bet.
The percentage of lawyers in the
present House of Representatives is
remarkably small.
There are only thirty attorneys
in the House which is hardly more
than half the usual number.
Notwithstanding this fact, however,
the percentage of city Legislators in

excess Of the rural membership

President Anderson presided over
the General Assembly in joint session
for the first time Thursday.
The joint session. being on the job
for the first time in its life, apparently
didn't know how to behave.
It loafed along on it's work in an
embarrassed and hesitating sort of
fashion for a few moments, twirling
its thumbs, or words to that effect
until President Anderson finally arose
and said: Wont some Senator kind
ly introduce a resolution providing fo.
tellers, so we can proceed with the
count for Governor and State House
officers?"

demands of the occasion and offered
the resolution, as the Pre- sidCnt had
suggested, and after that everything
was pretty enough!

ance tax bill offered on Wednesday

Mr.. Slade is supporting his asso-
ciate's bill, but has no desire to take
credit for its composition, as credit
for that belongs to Mr. Swift.

members of the new House and has
never been to the Legislature before.
