NEARLY 3-MILLION INCREASE.
Postoffice Appropriation Bill Re
ported to Senate.

Washington, Feb. 17.-An in
crease of nearly S3,000,000 in the
annual postoffice appropriation bill
was made by the senate committee on
postofices, which reported the meas
ure to the senate to-day. The total
asked for is s2S3,374,442, the sum
including an increase of S2,500,000
in railway mail pay occasioned in
part by the establishment of the par
cells post.
A new weighing of the mails, COW
ering a period of thirty days from
September 10, 1913, is provided by
the bill as reported to the Senate.
This step is recommended because
the parcels post has greatly increas-
ed the weight of the mails and the
railroads claim they are entitled to
compensation on new basis. The
bill also would stop the present prac-
tice of carrying second class mail on
fast freight trains.
The plan of allowing communities
to nominate their postmasters is en-
bodied in the bill and would apply
to all fourth class postofices where
the postmaster's salary is more than
$500. The bill does not make such
nomination compulsory

BEES BY NAIL GET BUSY.
Escape in San Francisco Office and
Stir Things Up.

A diminutive hive of bees, con-
signed to Josifi Adberigi, of 1ncer-
ness, Cal, was lifted from the mail
pouch by Fred O'Toole, chief clerk at
the local postoffce, to-day. The in
sects began to emerge from a corner
of the box which had been broken in
transit. O'Toole says there were a
million of them, and that they were
as busy for a few moments as it was
possible for bees to be.
After the bees had escaped O'Toole
examined the little hive and found
that it contained queen bee, inclos-
ed in private compartment. He lib
Grated her and her subjects collected
about her. Then it was an easy mat

Raids Several Alleged Blind Tigers
in Town.

Barnwell, Feb. 13.-Sheriff J. b.
Morris and a corps of deputies raid

ELBERTON MANS HOT BATH.
Modesty Almost Prevented His Es.
cape from Steam Death.

Elberton, Ca, Feb. 17.-John
Clark, 20 years old, who works at
the Elberton Steam Laundry, had a
narrow escape from being steamed
to death last Friday about the noon
hour He decided to take a bath
while the plant was shut down for
dinner, and climbed into the big
washing machine, which was about
half full of water, turning on the
steam. This machine rolls on axis.
1t is like a huge hogshead, and has
an oval shaped door that works on
hinges. The door has spring locks
and can be opened only from the out
side.
Soon after Mr.. Clark climbed in
the machine and began splashing
around in the warm, steam-heated
water, the machine turned slightly
on it's axis and the big door came
down with a bang, locking him in
tight and fast knowing that the
other people who worked around the
plant were away for dinner, and fee1-
ing the steam growing hotter and
hotter, he began to scream for help
as loud es he could. His cries finally
reached the ears of lady residing
near by and she ran to the rescue.
But her arrival did not relieve the
situation entirely. Mr.. Clark was
bathing, as George du Maurier, of
''Trilby' fame, described as 1.-The al
| together" and, unlike Trilby, was
| too modest to come out of his steam
heat bath entirely nude, preferring to
die marytyr to his ideals of decency
and live forever after in the men,
ory of those who preached the slogan
of Patrick Henry-"Give me mod
esty, or give me DEATH
The lady soon took in me situation
and lost no time in securing the as
sistance of those who could save
from scalding to death the man that
she was powerless to help. She ran
back home and got negro servant.
She returned as soon as she could
with the negro boy, who opened the
door.
The steam and water had by this
time taken off patches Of Mr.. Clark S
skin. The lady stood near by con-
graduating him on the fact that she
heard his screams for help. But
this water is hot and getting hotter
all the time. and | cant get out as
long as you are in the building" )" said
Mr.. Clark. The lady, blushing, took
in the situation and beat a hasty re-
treat, allowing the scalding man to
crawl out of the steam chest, badly
scalded, but as modest as a woman.

KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Annie McLendon'S Neck Brok-
en-, in Columbia.

Columbia, Feb. 12.-NIrs. Annie
McLendon lost her life tonight at
8 o'clock when an automobile in
which she was riding was precipitat-
ed from a bridge into Rock Branch,
near the Columbia Union Station.
She was the wife of Millen H. Nc
Lendon. She was 2S years Of age.
Mrs. McLendon, with her husband
and his sister, were returning home
when the fatal accident occurred. The
point at which it happened is about
two blocks south of the Union De-
pot. Mr.. McLendon was preparing
to ascend the hill leading to his
home, at 1906 Wharley street; turn
ing out from Main street he veered
too sharply and the car was hurled
from the bridge crossing Rocky
Branch at that point, into the waters
below. The occupants of the car
were pinned under it, Mr.. McLendon
and his sister, however, managing
to extricate themselves and to sum-
mon assistance.
The body of Mrs. McLendon was
Immediately rushed to a local hos
pital, where it was discovered that
she was beyond medical aid. 1t was
apprehended at first that death had
possibly resulted from drowning, but
an examination developed the fact
that her neck had been broken, death
probably ensuing instantly. No trace
of any water was found in the lungs.
Miss McLendon's arm was injured
by the fall from the bridge and the
consequent pinning under the wreck
age of the car. Nc McLendon holds
a responsible position with the Rich
land Mills Company, being overseer
of the card room of the mill.

Prisoner Tries to Take Life.

Anderson, Feb. 15.-Arch Kay, a
white man 27 years of age, tried to
commit suicide in his cell at the
county Jail, where he is being held
pending trial for breaking into a
pressing club in the Brogon mill vii
lage. Some time during last night
Kay tore up one of the extra ham,
mocks in his cell and made rope
out of it. He put moose around
ris neck, tied the end of the rope to
the cell ceiling and jumped into an
other hammock stretched across the
cell room. The other prisoners IN
the Jail tried to attract Shriff Ash
ley's attention, but the sheriff was
not disturbed until a crazy person in
one of the cells near the jailer's
house began yelling. Sheriff Ash
ley arrived just in time to save Kay S
life. With sharp knife he cut the
moose and a doctor was summoned
1t took several minutes hard work
to revive Kay. Kay, it is said, wrote
a letter to his mother yesterday tell
ing her he intended to take his life:
He said to-day that he hung himself
because he was suffering from dose
of ground glass he had eaten. This
statement is not believed by the Of
fcers. Kay was a former resident of
the Orr mill village.

RATS EAT PAINTED APPLE.

PhidiaS'S Work.

Plutarch relates that Phidias, the
Athenian sculptor, copied nature so
faithfully in his designs for the
frieze of the Parthenon that birds fire.
quently cracked their bills pecking at
the grapes wrought in marble.
A close analogy to this historic an
ecdote was experienced by Mrs. Clara
NJ. Sims of the college of agriculture
at the University of Illinois, at Cham
paign. Mrs. Sims is painter of still
life in water colors. She has large
collection of paintings of apples,
peaches, grapes, and foliage.
On Friday she painted large red
apple clinging to its sprig, which was
mounted with green foliage. She
left the painting in her office at the
college and went to her residence at
1904 California avenue. When she
returned yesterday morning she
found that mice had eaten the whole
of the apple and had left the sprig
and foliage intact.
4 never believed the story about
the grapes of Phidias,' said Prof.
Sims, husband of the artist, until
this morning. There was no depth,
body, nor odor to the apple that Mrs.
Sims painted, and yet the mice ate it
entirely and left the rest of the pic
ture unharmed.
The pigment in the water color
has no taste or odor, and the rodents
must surely have been attracted to
the fruit by sight alone. Chicago

WAR ON BLIND TIGERS.
Citizens of Allendale Meet i'm Mass
Meeting to Take Steps.

Allendale, Feb. 13.-As a result of
a mass meeting of representative cltl-
zens held last night in the town hall
about 20 or more Of the best clti-
zens volunteered to give the blind
tigers a warning, and accordingly to-
day visited a half dozen places sus-
pected of violating the law. They
were accompanied by the town coun-
Gil, who promise their cooperation.
Up to a short time ago Allendale
boasted of being one of the most
law abiding places in the State, al
though it is whispered that tigers
have existed all along, but recently
they have been growing more and
more open in the defiance of law.
Credit should be given TO the min
listers for the influence they are ex-
erting in putting down the violation
of the dispensary law. In response
of the rumors of the existence of
tigers they have taken an active part
in preaching against them.
The citizenship of Allendale, which
is noted for it's orderly and law abid-
ing character, will not tolerate the
open violation of law that has recent
ly become so defiant. Another mass
meeting is called to meet in the town
hall tomorrow night for the purpose
of putting the law into operation
against offenders in case they con-
tinue in business.

heavily down upon them and only a
few yards away. The three men
quickly jumped for their lives, and
as they passed'ov the ends of the
cross-ties the locomotive struck the
tricycle., cutting it in half and crush

\ Social Mandate.

The DoWager Empress Fash

holding of the names Of guests
who are entertained at social

fortunate when they could
make shift not only to obtain
the names of The guests, but

those who consider their social

are always protesting that they
do not want to see their names

purely Pickwickian, and when
