AC LUMBER co. TO REBUILD.
New Plant at Georgetown to Have
100000 Feet Capacity Daily.

GEORGETOWN, June At is learn
ed here that at meeting of directors
of the Atlantic Coast Lumber Corpor-
alton of New York last week it was
unanimously decided to rebuild on
grand scale where the disastrous con-
fagraticn of April 21 left the main
mills of the concern in ashes, and de-
stroyed the immense power plant and
dry kilns, comprising probably one OF
the largest lumber manufacturing
plants in the United States. On the
same site will be erected one great
concrete and steel mill, indestructl-
BILE and permanent, in which the very
latest machinery will be operated by
electricity instead of steam, and with
a maximum capacity of 100000 feet
of lumber per day. Mr.. R. J. CllHord
president of the Atlantic Coast Lum-
ber Corporation, has returned 10
GEORGETOWN with this inspiring and
welcome news, and large gangs of Ia
borers are at work clearing away
the debris.
Mr.. Clifford, mar OF wonderful
executive capacity, and one of the
most experienced of American lum-
bermen, is heartily behind the move
ment, and all of his powers will be
concentrated toward an early COM
pletion of the monster mill, power
house and dry kilns which are now
being projected by the architects ana
contractors representing the great
mill constructing firm of Allis-Chal-
mers Company. Never has better
news been announced that this Tor
the people of this community. Inc
nopulation has become electrlfled
with new life by it, for many mlsglV-
ings have been felt as to the action
to be taken in the matter of rebuild
ing at Georgetown.

H. MOODY SHOT BY P. SANDERS
Wordy Dispute Ended in Shooting
at Big Fork Schoolhouse.

Horace Moody ives seriously, If
not fatally, wounded by Perry San
ders Sunday afternoon at Big Fork
schoolhouse, following, it is said, a
dispute about fight between San
ders' brother and others. Words led
to blows and when the two men
clinched Sanders drew his pistol and
fired, it is alleged, the bullet entering
Moody's abdomen from the left side.
Sanders claims that Moody tried to
cut him with knife before he shot.
Sc severe was Moody's wound that
he was taken to a Columbia hospital
Monday morning, where an operation
was performed. According to reports
received here, there is apparently
little hope for his recovery.
Perry Sanders and two others, Joe
Lee and Rufus Sanders, were arrested
Monday and lodged in the county
jail. Lee and Rufus Sanders were
given a preliminary hearing before
Magistrate Best Tuesday morning
and as there was no evidence tending
to show that they were implicated,
they were discharged. Perry Sanders
however, is still in Jail. He is a son
of Charlie Sanders and was himself
shot several months ago by MI.
Hogg. All of the parties are white
men.
Young Moody died in the hospital

OUT OF THE WOODY
Some "reminiscences of the Good Old Times

There was this about Buffalo Jim, Of
Kansas: He was a natural born caVai-
Ter. He'd fight q crowd of a dozen men
as soon as one, and nc was king-oee IN
every border town. but when 1t came
to the female sex Jim" put up his guns,
removed his hat and left himself de-
fenseless. He had been after Black Tom
for several weeks, hunting him from one
town to another. and at length some one
posted the fugitive as to 'Jim's' chief
characteristics, and he took advantage
of il. He was at Roaring River when
Jim" rode into town at a late hour one
evening and looked for him and made a
call at the shanty. His hail was an
swered by q woman, and as the man saw
her he put away his guns, doffed his cap
and smilingly said:
Excuse me, ma'am, but I'm lookin
for a critter called Black Tom"
Yes, he's here" replied the woman.
I've been tryin' to shoot him fur the
last two months" continued Jim.
Yes; know. Are you in a hurry
about it,"
"T wanted 1t of my hands, you know.
but bein' you ar q woman, I might put
it of fur a day or so to obleege you"
"pd like to hev you wait till tomor-

gone to bed drunk, and it's q job to
rouse him out"
"of course I'll wait. Was he sorter

fur one day would run a street car five
miles. The tail power Of 100000 cows

Not a fly, Abe-not an inseck. Good
Lordi But what a man-what man!'
ITS a double-barreled scheme, Kur-
nel-one that works both ways Every
time a COW switches her tail 1t reduces
her strength and takes away from the
quantity OF milk. I figger that twelve
hours switchin' takes away at least a
pint. That's a loss of a million quarts
a day, or 12O, 200 quarts for the season.
Do yo' follow me, Kurnel?'
But cows have got to SWITCH rephed

'SYo' mean their tails hev got twist

co'se. though it don't do any good. as
the flies come right back. However, the
idea is to fasten spring to each cows
tail and make the spring DO the work.
I've got it all invented and ready to put
on. The cost won't be over or cents
and the spring will keep the tail goin'
twenty hours in place of twelve. No
COW will hev to use an ounce o power.

Ten jumpin' frogs, each one jumpin six
feet make enough power to run a sewin'

will run a grist mill half day. That's

each frog will jump nine feet and never

the more jumps; the more power the
more factories, and the cheaper they kin
be run. I've got the idea, Kurnel-got
it right down fine-and all I want now is
to figger a leetle on how to store up the

that in a day or two, and then what will
