IN CARROLL.

JACKSON, Tenn, Oct. Bon. L.
Chambers, better known as Dude"
was sentenced to one year and one
day in the federal prison in Atlanta
for shooting w. H. Craft, a rural let.
ter carrier. Both men live in the
neighborhood of Buena Vista, Tenn,
and this. affair took place last Janua
~.
Chambers and Craft were both la
boring under an old grudge which
came to a climax one day in January
when the two men met in the road
Each. refused to give the other thu
road and after some hot words
Dude" pulled his pistol and took ;
shot at the corpulent mail carrier
which failed to take effect. The lat
ter then shot Chambers in the sid
with shotgun.
This is probably the first time, s
far as known, in any part of tn
country, that sentence was passe
on anyone for shooting at a rural le
ter carrier. Chambers took his ser
tence to heart. He is little hard c
hearing and it was with difficulty tina
Judge John e. Mccall OF the fedora

was up against it for year and
day. When the judge finished pas
ing his sentence Chambers sank
his seat and burst into sobs.

VERA CRUZ, Oct. 3O.-Gen Felix
Diaz, now a refugee aboard the Amer
lean battleship Louisiana, learned to-
day that the privilege of asylum on
battleship carries with it certain re- /
strictions not unlike prison regula-
lions. BY order of the admiral Gen. |
Diaz is not permitted communication
with any one from shore without his
permission, and the admiral has given !
him to understand that the permits
sion rarely will be given. The en-
forcement of this order is rigid.
Twill you please go below, sir,
said the officer of the deck, saluting
the general when he had begun con-
versation with man who had
brought his baggage aboard.
Gen. Diaz appeared to be annoyed
for an instant hut without hesitation
complied.
Admiral Fletcher explained that
while he was willing to place his flag
ship at the disposal of Gen Diaz as
an asylum, he did not propose to ex-
lpose himself to the criticism of max
ing it place for possible plotting.
He asserted his confidence that Gen.
Diaz would not attempt to abuse hos
pitality by meeting friends and from
a safe vantage point indulge in in
triguing or conspiracy, but he was re-
solved to take no chances.
The disposition of Diaz and his
companions has rot yet been deter
mined but it appears probable that
, they eventually will be set ashore

Bloomer Girls Were Mere Men.

Washington, July 21.-One police
man is in the hospital, two others are
nursing bruises and awaiting new
uniforms and part of the Union
League baseball park is wreck to-
day as the result of the riot ct Sun
day baseball game, when 1000 en-
thusiasts discovered that a team Of
"bloomer" girls were really men in
disguise. The team was taken to an
eastbound train under police protec-
ton. A half hour before the storm
broke the manager of the "girls" ag-
gregation had acquired the gate re-
ceipts and had disappeared.
The trouble started when the
"girls' centreielder, husky young
blonde threw a ball from deep center
to the home plate, catching the run
ner. The spectators grew suspicious.
A moment later small boy slipped
up behind the supposed divinity that
presided at third base and gave her
golden locks a vigorous pull. They
came away in the form of wig, re-
vealing a chunky young man with an
elaborate makeup ending just above
the eyebrows. The team fed through
a storm of bottles and bricks to the
shelter of the clubhouse where the
police massed.
The crowd then stormed the ticket
windows, demanding their money
back, venting their ire on the park
property. Several persons were hurt
in the melee and a number of arrests
were made.

THREE COMPANIES LEAVE CAMP.
Bamberg Company Among Those
Failing to Meet Requirements.

Aiken, July l9.-At retreat for
nation this evening at I o'clock the
ranks of the Sd regiment presented
decidedly depleted appearance on ac-
count of the return home to-day of
three companies. The Orangeburg
and Bamberg companies returned
this morning, while the Barnwell
company decamped this afternoon,
leaving the train on the 4.37 South
ern.
Under the regulations a company
must have SO enlisted men and two
officers when it goes nito camp, if its
transportation, rations and pay are to
be drawn from the fund appropriated
for that purpose. Under this ruling
the three deficient companies could
have stayed in camp only under the
condition that they paid their own
Transportation and subsistenance, and
did not receive pay for the time en-
camped. These companies did not
come prepared to provide their own
subsistence, it is stated, nor did they
expect to be forced to face any such
contingencies. Consequently they
made request for a permit to return
home, whicn request was granted.
S;no,,1or Coco IN Tirrinio
Some time ago Virginia presented
a parallel case when five companies
were disqualified, but the companies
continued in camp and the State Of
Virginia paid their expenses. How
ever, there is no such fund in the
State of South Carolina, and the Off
GERS commanding the Bamberg,
Orangeburg and Barnwell companies
pursued the only course open to them.
Apparently it was at their request,
but in realty they were forced home,
which to all actual purposes had the
effect of an order.
The departure of hundred men
has caused keen disappointment. To-
cally. The officers at the camp are
discreetly non-committal and reticent
and the atmosphere is suggestive Of
"strained relations' somewhere.
There may even be interesting de-
velopments of a military nature be-
fore the scheduled time for breaking
camp. which is next Thursday, July
"a.

WARTIME TURTLE.
Boy Finds One With His Fathers
Name Cut on its Back in 1862.

A turtle, upon whose back had
been carved u. T. Keel, 1852" was
found on Keel's farm, south of this
city, by his son. When the turtle was
shown to the boys father, the elder
man remembered at once how he had
picked up the turtle fifty-one years
ago and carved the words and date
on its back with his knife.
According to Mr.. Keel, the turtle
has not gained much in size during
the many intervening years, but the
shell has been worn away in places.
The elder Keel brought the turtle to
Rochester to show to his friends, but
said he would take it back to the
farm, where It had been for so many
years.-New York Press.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The Bamberg Guards, under the
command of Capt. W. R. Wright, lett
last Thursday morning for the en-
campment at Aiken.
There are all kinds of things sent
by parcel post these days. The post
office here received Tuesday night a
good size chair by parcel post.
A largely attended and most en-
ioyable fish fry was given at the river
last Wednesday evening. A number
of young men and young ladies were
present, and it proved to be most
delightful occasion.
The insurance fee on parcels post
packages has been reduced. For
packages having valuation up to
s25 the insurance fee is now five
cents. From SIS to $50 the fee is
ten cents as formerly. This does
not apply to c. o. d. packages, the
fee still being ten cents on those, no
matter what the valuation.
The catalogue of Carlisle School
was issued last week from the JOB
department of the Herald, and the
actual work of preparing for the com

present building will be renovated
and improved before the time ior
school to open, while work on the
new dormitory for the boys will be-
gin in a short time. The building
committee has been hard at work
receiving bids and making prepara-
tions for the building, and now every
thing is about in shape for the con-
struction work to begin. The enroll
ment this fall will no doubt be very
much larger than ever before.

REPORTER MAKES UNIQUE FIND.
Modest Atlanta Home with More Ma
donnas Than an Art Gallery.

Atlanta, July PA modest At
lanta home, which contains more pic
lures of Madonnas than any famous
gallery in the world, was discovered
by accident by a local newspaper re-
porter in search of an entirely diff
ferent story.
1t is the home of Oscar Pause, near
the corner of Courtland and Harris
streets, commonplace looking
weatherboarded little house with alb
solutely nothing to indicate that it is
different from any of the other houses
in the unpretentious block.
, But inside it is marvel. It might
truley be called THE House of the
Thousand Virgins" for it's walls are
covered with more than 1000 mag
nificent copies of Madonnas by world
famous artists of all countries.
Mr.. Pause has spent a fortune and
lifetime in following out this one
interest-it is too dignified and beau
tiful a thing to be called hobby.
1t may be interesting to other col
lectors of such pictures that Mr..
Pause, who has studied them all for
a lifetime, considers the Sistine Ma
donna, by Raphael, the greatest of
them all. Most of the collection are,
of course, good copies, but Mr.. Pause
possesses several fine originals, in
cluding what is said to be an authen-
tic Tintoretto.
A marvellous thing about him and
his collection is that it has existed
for years here in the heart of Atlanta,
and that none Of the Atlantians who
are supposedly interested in art have
known a thing about it.

Rent a Box

The post master and his assistants
want to accommodate the patrons OF
the Bamberg Office, and they know
that they are accommodating, for
they do everything possible that they
can to oblige. The revenue from the
rent of boxes goes entirely to the
government, and while there are not
enough lock boxes in the present
equipment to give every person who
wants one a lock box, still there are
a number of call boxes still unrented,
so if those who want their mail very
badly will rent call boxes the mail
will be delivered at any time there is
any one in the Office, no matter If the
general delivery window is closed.
But those who will not pay the small
sum of twenty cents a quarter Tor
call box but insist On having their
mail placed in the general delivery,
need not expect their mail to be de-
livered to then when the window is
closed. We hope all interested will
take note of this. If you want your
mail. rent a call box if you can't get
a. lock box and We will take pleasure
in delivering your mail, no matter II
the window is closed. But if your
mail goes in the general delivery,
you must wait until the general de-
livery window is open. Money order
window closes positively at 6 o'clock.

The Worth of Gettysburg.

In striking a balance of cost in
such a tremendous account as that of
a Civil War the only debts which
honor can put upon the ledger are
human lives. In round numbers
100000 men were killed in battle
during the war or died subsequently
of wounds. On some inescapable page
whereon is told the rest Of the story
must be put, however, the Union War
expenses of 81, ,oOO,000,000, $3,000,-
100000 paid in pensions by the Ma
tional Government, $1,0OO,OOO,O0O
war expenses of the Confederacy and
property and other losses estimated
at S5O0,000,000 in which are not in
cluded the many millions which the
people of the South have paid in State
pensions to Confederate survivors
a total outlay of treasurer at least
$4,000, 100000. 1t would be fruitless
and illogical to argue as to whether
this terrible cost might have been
avoided. It was incurred and was
paid, headed by the loss of. $4,000
men of the North and 100000 men
of the South. The only question to
be solved is whether yesterday is
worth today, whether what has been
secured is worth the fearful price
that was paid for it.
In the light of this great balancing
the patriotic American with plous
contentment drains his heart and
purse with the mighty oil and says
that the Gettysburg of today, 'typi-
fying a reunited country, is worth
the Gettysburg of 1868 and all the
other Gettysburgs that were paid that
the Union might be preserved. But
only as the Nation proves that 1.-The
heroic dead did not die in vain" will
the price be justified, even though it
were only a hundreth part as heavy.
The great reunion of this semi-cen-
tennial is at least one item by way
of such proof and is the lesson or
the Independence days that have
passed since Liberty Bell was rung.-
