DOG PROBABLY WAS MAD.
Bit Chester Lad who is Now Under
goin Treatment.

Chester, June 6--Little Tom Bell,
the seven-year-old son Of Mrs. R. NJ.
Bell, who resides about two miles
east of Blackstock, was bitten Sum
day afternoon by a dog which was un-
doubtedly rabid, and Mr.. John NJ.
Bell, of this city, uncle of the little
fellow. rushed him to Columbia Tues
dav morning for treatment by DR..
Coward. Mrs. Bells children were
playing with the dog, which belonged
to a negro in the neighborhood, and
noticed that the animal seemed ex-
cited. Presently the dog closed down
with it's teeth upon the little fellows
wrist, and though the skin was not
broken there was cut on the hand,
which would have allowed the ad-
mission of the poisonous saliva, if
the animal we're indeed mad After
biting the boy the dog ran wildly off
and before it was slain had bitten
number of other dogs in the neighbor-
hood, all of which have been put to
death, except one, and this one is
locked up and under watch.
When the animal, which had mani
tested all of the symptoms Of rabies
was slain, it's head was not cut off
promptly as should have been done,
and sent to Dr. Coward, for which
reason it cannot be definitely known
whether the creature was really suf-
fering from hydrophobia or not. DR..
Coward administered the initial dos
es of the treatment and DR.. D. A.
Coleman, of Blackstock, will admin
lister the remainder of the treatment
during the three weeks that are re-
quired.
So far as known there have been
no other mad dogs in the Blackstock
section recently.

FORTY YEARS FOR HOLD-UP Man
jury Makes Up Purse for Family of
Convicted Alabamian.

Montgomery, Ala, June "a spe-
cial to the Advertiser from Tusca-
loosa, Ala, says that George w.
Jones, after making a complete con-
fession to participation in holding
up and killing Paymaster W B. Turn
er, of a construction company, with
three others, all of whom have con-
fessed. was sdjudged guilty by the
Jury tonight and sentenced to forty
years Imprisonment. Davis, another
participant, is serving life sentence.
Manly Cant, third participant, will
be tried at next Court. Riley Jones,
the fourth man, is in jail and has
also confessed. Each of the men
said that DR.. w. H. Gurganus, a
prominent resident of Tuscaloosa
County, had planned the hold-up and
induced their participation. DR.: Cur
ganus disappeared when the four
we're arrested and is still at large In
the mountains of that section. HIS
friends, in Court, during the Jones
trial, are quoted as saying the doctor
would probably give himself up short
'lv if the evidence and feeling against
him is not too strong. Members OF
George Jones's jury shook hands with
the defendant after the verdict and
made up a purse for his wife and
five small children, all of whom were
in court all the time. Members of
the Jury have bought clothing and
provisions for the family which ap-
pears destitute.

SPANISH CHEF KILLS ACTRESS
Eleanor jackson, Young and Pretty,
Shot to Death at Tampa.

Tampa. Fla, June s. Andres
Bruno, a Spaniard, shot and killed
Eleanor Jackson, vaudeville per-
former of New York, and then blew
out his own brains here to-day. The
bodies were found by the 4-year-old
child of the woman in cottage next
door to where the child had been
left overnight.
1t is said that Bruno, who is chef
at a leading Spanish restaurant, had
been living with the woman in cot
tage in Ybor City. She was employed
at a local theatre. While both were
away from home they left the wo-
mans 4-year-old son with neighbors
next door. To-day when the mother
failed to call for the child it went
over to the cottage and in few min
utes came back and told the neigh
bors that he believed his mother was
sick, and he could not wake her.
When the neighbors arrived they
found both bodies on the bed. There
were two bullets in the woman's head
one of them having passed through
her hand as she threw it up, evil
IDENTIFY to prevent Bruno from firing.
Bruno shot himself in the temple
and fell across the body of the wo-
man.
The woman, who has been working
in local theatres for about 8 years,
was about 21 years of age and ex-
ceedingly handsome. Bruno LETT
three notes, one in English and two
in Spanish. In these he stated that
he was going to kill the woman be-
cause she insisted on staying out late
at night after finishing her work.
Relatives of the woman in New York
have been notified but nothing has
been heard from them.

MAY WALK BACKWARD.
Surgeon Says Women's Toes Are Be-
coming Heels.

A modishly dressed woman walk
ing backward need cause no surprise
g few years hence. She may simply
have lived so closely in style that she
has developed the new heel situ-
ated where her toes ought to be.
The discovery of the new heel is
that OF DR.. Max Strunsky, of New
York. He blames it entirely on high
heeled shoes and finds women would
rather continue to suffer with it than
to use common-sense shoes, which
make the foot look large.
"The anterior arches become prom
inent and bulge and are covered with
callouses,' he reports after his exam
nations of the latest freak. mot on
ly do the arches perform, under pres
sure of the additional burden, the
function of heels, but they acquire
all the characteristics and every
semblance of heels
Doctor Strunsky says women with
foot complaint are found almost inva-
riably to have trouble with the ante
rior arch. He finds the shoes throw
the weight of the body exactly where
weight was never intended to go.
The heel is the strongest part Of
the foot and is constituted to carry
the main bodily weight he writes.
The high-heeled shoes which women
wear, however, practically compel
them to walk on the heads of their
metartarsals. Thus every time they
take a step they jam the metartarsal
heads on the ground.
"High-heeled shoes compel the an
terror arches to assume the function
of weight-carrying structures or
heels Metartarsal walking increases
the size and strength of the anterior
arches and changes their fiexibility
and elasticity, essential to a normal
gait, to rigidity."- ."-Chicago Tribune.

CAPTURED AFTER IL YEARS.
Sam Shelton Charged With Homi-
eide Committed in 1901.

Lexin gton, June 6.-Sam Bowers,
alias Mack Bowers, negro, who IS
wanted in Greenwood County for the
alleged murder of Jim Boyd, another
negro. in 1901, was captured by Sher-
iff Sim J. Miller, of this county, at
McIntyres saw mill, Tuesday after
noon. Sheriff T. W Mcmillan, OF
Greenwood, came to Lexington, and
after making a careful examination
of the negro. was positive that the
right man had been capturd, and
Shelton was carried back to Green
wood.
According to the statement OF
Sheriff Mcmillan, Shelton shot Boyd
in cold blood. 1t is said that Boyd
was employed at Mayes's brick yard
and was engaged in removing brick
from a machine when Shelton shot
him with a pistol. Immediately al
ter the shooting Shelton fled from the
community and nothing further was
heard of him until his arrest by the
Lexington sheriff.
Shelton has been working in this
county for the last several years and
is said to have a wife and three chill
dren living on the Kinsler plantation,
near Columbia. He has been going
under the name of Mack Bowers.

THE "EDISTO COUNTY" PROJECT
Annexation to Aiken First Step in
Plans, it Seems.

Lexington, June Sit is asserted
now that this correspondent has been
in error as to the intent of the people
who have petitioned for an election
in the lower section of this county.
II is claimed that the statement that
the people of Wagner are trying TO
secure a new county with Wagener
as the county seat is altogether mis-
take, and that the movement is tor
the annexation of a large strip OF
Lexington to Aiken County. This
correspondent has not seen the pc
titions. but he was reliably Informed
before he made the assertion that II
was a new county scheme and that
the people of Wagner had it as their
ultimate intention to form new
county. 1t is learned since, however,
that the promoters Of the move are
first trying to get a large portion OF
Lexington territory, so that it Will
aid them when the move is started
for a new county.
The people of Lexington, then, VINO
have signed the petition asking Tor
an election in this county are under
the impression that they are only
asking to annex to Aiken, when as
matter of fact, it appears that it is
the first step to aid the people of the
Edisto section to secure a county
seat.
The necessary funds for the cost
Of the election has been deposited
with the clerk of Court, and the next
step will likely be taken by Governor
Blease. In the event that the elec-
tion is ordered strong and persls-
tent fight against the proposition will
be engendered.

MAY BE ASKED TO RESIGN.
Rumor of a General Shake-up On
State Asylum Staff.

COlumDld,' june "a SSo- NA
shake-up in the personnel of the staff
of employees at the State Hospital for
the Insane is predicted when the
board OF regents meets here at noon
on July 1 to fill the position for
term of two years. That many chang
es will be made is not at all improb-
able. A resolution asking for the
resignation of the entire staff is said
to have been passed by the board at
it's meeting here this week.
That a resolution asking the Gov
ernor to remove DR.. ]. W. Babcock
will be offered at the meeting of the
board on this occasion was predicted
here to-day. The Constitution gives
the Governor the right to appoint the
superintendent of the Asylum and
the board of regents by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate.
All of the other employees are elect
ed by the board.
Positions Advertised.
An advertisement calling for appli-
cations for the positions to be filed
with Attorney General Peoples ap-
peared in the News and Courier this
morning. These positions as enumer-
ated in the advertisement are:
Zone physician, at salary OF
s166.66 per month; two physicians,
at a salary of S125 per month, each;
one physician at salary of 500 per
month; one physician, at a sal
ary of SIS per month; one Sec
retary and treasurer, at sal
ary of $50 per month; two
stenographers, at salary, each
of $50 per month; one chaplain, at
salary of S25 per month.
It is said that the board at meet
ing several months ago passed res
olution that the term of office of the
staff of employees at the Asylum
should be two years and that the Of
fee of the present staff should ter
inmate on july 1, 1913.
Interest Centers Around Babcock.
Interest centers in the fight which
is said to be brewing against DR.. Bab-
cock as superintendent. He has held
this position ever since in the early
eos, when he was appointed by the
then Governor B. R. Tillman to sue
ceed DR.. Griffin.
1t will be recalled that at the last
meeting of the General Assembly
Governor Blease one night sprung a
sensation by sending in the name of
DR.. w. Gustave Houseal, of New
berry, to be superintendent of the
Asylum, to the Senate, and that after
a heated discussion of the matter be-
hind closed doors the Senate by a
vote of 81 to 3 rejected the nomlna-
ton of DR.. Houseal and thus DR.. Bah
cock continued in office.
The Constitution fixes the mode OF
filing this position, but the statute
fails to fix the term of office and it
has been supposed that the superin-
tendent held at the pleasure of the
Governor However, others hold that
even should the governor appoint
a successor he could not qualify IN
til the Senate confirmed him.
The members of the board of reg
ents are: DR.. T. R. Carouthers, OF
Rock Hill, chairman; DR.. w. L. Set
tlemeyer, of Gaffney; J. D. Bivens
of Givhans; Julius Taylor, of Colum-
bia, and Iredell Jones, Sr, of Rock
Hill.

If the average man could have his
own way all the time he would keep
others busy getting out of it.
During courtship a man easily
makes a dollar look like 80 cents.
After marriage he tries to make 80

easy.

WINDING CLOCKS.

One cannot be too particular in
caring for time piece if she would
have the clock or watch keep good
time. In the first place, see TO it
that the winding is done at practical
ly the same time each week or dav.
as the case may be. To prevent over
winding it is well to wind the time
piece carefully, counting the number
of turns necessary. 1t may seem a
trife fussy to those not accustomed
to this precaution, but it is a bit of
forethought that pays.
