WONDERFUL WORK or DOGS
II These Are Not Inventions Of Drum
I mers, They Surely Are Remark
able Animals.

The grocery drummer from Chicago
had just made some remarks about
household pets, which awakened a
memory In the mind of the agent from
the New York Bond house, out selling
securities:
Speaking Of that" said he, Ticking
the ashes of the end Of his cigar, I'm
very fond of dogs. have a pointer at
home that's wonder. Taking him al.
together, he is the most intelligent
animal ever saw. You gentlemen
may not believe it, but it is neverthe,
less fact that whenever go out rid.
ing in my motor through hitherto
untraveled country I always take
Roger along with me. and he sits UP
alongside of me in front. Whenever we
come to a crossroad, and | find my.
self up tree as to which turning to
take, simply put the question to him
and in every blessed case he has in
stinctively pointed in the right direc
tion."
81 can we'll believe that" said the
grocery drummer. 81 have a retriever
in my house that is quite as wonder
full. l don't believe my wife and
could possibly get along without him
If my wife mislays anything, from q
rolling pin to a bridge score, any
where around the house, all she has
to do is to set Bob after it, and he
finds it.. When / am in hurry tc
catch a train in the morning and my
collar button slips out of my hands
and disappears, as collar buttons are
almost certain to do at such moments
good old Bob gives a yelp of delight
and goes after it. saving me no end
of trouble, much time, and some Ian
guage."-Lippincott's Magazine.

To Tax Bill Boards.

The newspapers of Paris the beau
tiful are loudly demanding that the
"gigantesque panneaux reclame"-gi-
gantic bill boards-that disfigure some
of the most prominent places in the
city be eliminated. They hold that the
only means to obviate this barbaric
invasion is for the city to tax these
boards at such high figure as to dis
courage the big advertisers from using
them. The French parliament has al
ready passed law taxing bill boards
in the country, where they do not add
to the beauty of the landscape.

There is nothing the matter with the
soil, he declared. II there is a failure
1t is in the man.
The practical side of it is that the
knockers have influence with the peo-
pie who are seeking information. The
latter come South, and, naturally, talk
with the people they meet, on the
trains, in the stores, and so on. A rail-
road conductor or even a flagman on
a train can negative the best efforts
honest efforts-we make to tell the
investors what is actually existing
here. A clerk in store, at a news
stand or cigar stand, is often listened
to in preference to persons who are
engaged in advertising the land. This
is because of an erroneous idea that
the people who have no interest iii
| the matter tell the truth, while those
who have an interest do not The
trouble with that theory is that the
( clerk is likely to know nothing what
ever, and also be grouchy and de-
predatory by nature; he knocks, be
cause it is easy and gives chance for
assumption of being possessed Of in
formation.
How can we build up city and a
rich country around it when so many
of our number busy themselves in try
ing to defeat the labors of their fellow
citizens? What community ever be
came great when the elements thereof
were at loggerheads, carping, detract
ing and, knowingly or unknowingly
lying about their own home? Wha
has become of our patriotism. Wha
of our self interest? How can We ex
/ pect as individuals to rise in this city
, if we spend our time pulling this cit!
! down?
The way to put the pan on thu
"knocker" is for every one of us Il
resolve that he will not knock. B
it understood that to knock" is t
express unfavorable opinion through
ignorance. Ask, then, what you reall
: know of the subject-not what impress
sion you have about it, but what 20
yourself know. And if you know notl
ing, say you do not know, and ther
end it. Do not lie about it either way

that should be followed by every sci

OF INTEREST To
e POULTRY 'fANCIERs

In the poultry and egg column OF
the news will be found an advertise
ment of the Buckeyes of the Locust
Hill Farm of North Augusta, s. c.,
which should be very interesting to
poultry lovers of this section. Buck
eyes originated in 1889 from Ohio,
hence the name. They are a cross Of
Barred Rocks, Buff Cochins, Black
Breasted Red and Indian Games.
Evolving from the Asiatics, they in
herited their winter laying qualities !;
their tender juicy meat comes from
the Indian Game blood, and their
strong vitality from the Black Breast
ed Red Game. This breed of fowls
has not been raised in this section to
any great extent, but anyone desiring
TO use the Buckeyes would do well to
patrcnize the Locust Hill Farm, which
has taken all the leading prizes in
Southern poultry shows.

CAMPAIGN FOR
new MEMBERS
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES TO MAKE
THOROUGH cANVAss-MUcH
GOOD ALREADY DONE.

The Associated Charities have as
yet made only one brief effort to Sc
cure new members, but they contem-
plate making a thorough canvass of
the city beginning next Tuesday.
This association has within it's brief
history received twenty-three appli-
cations for help and 80 persons have
been helped. Employment has been
secured for four persons. Six families
are now receiving regular help, these
being families where the mothers la
Dor is the only dependence. and in
some of these the mother is unable to
work
The association is anxious to largely
increase its membership among the
business men of the city, who will be
furnished with cards that enable them
to dispose of every appeal for help by
the use of one of the cards directing
the applicant to apply to the associa-
ton. When applicants are worthy
they always present the cards, if un'
worthy they do not as rule. BY this
method the business man is saved
from annoyance and at the same time
is able to direct all needy persons to
place for getting help.

Coming up out of the Southwest ear
ly Friday morning, just as spring was
ushered in, the storm swept with start

country from Northern Texas to West
ern Pennsylvania and New York, BIZ
secting the Mississippi valley and NOV

into the Great Lake region.
Shifting winds of great violence ac-
companied in various sections by
snow, sleet and hail, characterized the
storm, easily the most destructive of
the year and rarely equalled in the
extent of it's sweep and damage. Build

The property loss was great all along
the storms track. Besides demolish-
ing or unroofing buildings and telling
trees, the high winds. rain, hail and
sleet did serious damage to early
crops, according to reports from some
of the affected sections. Estimates
of the damage to property from In
diana and Michigan alone aggregate
2 million dollars, about evenly divid-
ed between the two states. Early re-
ports of losses, ranging from $4,000
to 100000 or more from sections of
the storm region indicated that the
total would reach large figures.
Wires fell in all directions bfore the
blow. Not in many years has there
been such prostration of telegraph and
telephone service. Chicago was cut
off for hours from communication with
points east. Only by devious routs
was connection finally established.
Last nights conditions had improved
materially. but it will be several days
before normal service is restored. Rail
road traffic was seriously delayed in
many districts, where wire communi-
cation was crippled and washouts oc-

IS BOUND over
TO AWAIT ACTION BY THE GRAND
JURY ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT
ON DETECTIVE.

The preliminary hearing in the case
of the state vs.. Lewis Smith, charged
with assault and battery with intent
to kill and murder ]. c. Copeland, had
before Justice of the Peace H. c. Greer
Friday afternoon, resulted in Smith
being bound over in the sum Of $500
to await the action Of the grand jury
Ernest Blackburn, a material wit
ness for the state, was held for the
grand jury under bond of 5000.
The state introduced four witnesses
and the defense none at the trial.
DR.. s. S. Turner, who attended

titled that the wounded man was bleed
ing profusely when he saw him, and
that upon an examination he found
two wounds in the right side of the
face, appearing as If made by sharp
instrument, one being a half inch deep,
showing that the instrument with
which 1t was inflicted had severed a
small artery and that it was DETECTED
by the cheekbone when the man was
struck. He stated that the wound
could have been inflicted by broken
pop battle, but that it could not have
been done by a brickbat, or a blunt
instrument.
Copeland testified that, having left
the city hall, he went down Pine street
secured bundle he had left in a store
and had started across towards Mo
bile street on his way to the N. o
& N. e. railway station, when he heard
some one running behind him, and as
he turned his head to see who it was
he was struck by some one with what
he thought was a brick. After receiv
ing the blow he turned and saw Smith
with appraised hands as If to strike
him a second time.
Charlie Vanus, keeper OF lunch anC
fruit stand on Mobile street, stated
that shortly before the assault on Cope
land, FATTY" Smith came to his place
and asked permission to take an empty
pop bottle and made the promise that
IL he broke it he would replace it with
another bottle.
Ernest Blackburn, who was bound
over as a material witness, testified
that while standing at a hamburger
stand at the corner of Mobile and Pine
streets, he saw FATTY" Smith run uT
behind Copeland and raise his hand
as If to strike him; but when pressed
for an answer as to whether he did
strike him or not, he said that he
"din't see him strike him."
Immediately after the assault on
Copeland, when considerable excite
ment prevailed, Chief of Police Ben
nett met Blackburn and another youth
running up the street and Blackburn
then volunteered the information that

THE PERNIcIous kNockER.

At the Chamber of Commerce and
Business League meeting Tuesday
night gentleman from Toronto, Can
ada. who Is interested in developing
$4,000 acres of land near Chunchula,
told the meeting that he never heard
such chorus of knockers" in his life
as thefe is in the country and the
knockers are natives. He has nothing
to sell these doleful winners. His con-
Germ has bought the land and no doubt
paid a round price for it. He and his
associates are going to bring Canadian
farmers here to settle on it. This
three-crops-a-year advantage you have
here looks good to u.s." said he; yet,
he had been affected, and but for his
business sense would be disheartened
by the croaking of these people who
want to tear down that which others
more enterprising than themselves are
trying to build up.
Also, the Canadian told of hearing
a clerk in one of the wholesale estab-
Iishments here knocking" Mobile I'M
til the stranger actually shamed him
into taking better view of his home.
Mr.. L. C. Irvine, who followed later
in the evening, with very sensible
and eloquent appeal Of patriotism, hav-
ing first described some of the per-
formances of those who knock, said
that depreciation of local conditions
comes fundamentally from Ignorance
