A ruling elder of a country parish

shrewd and ready-witted man. He
got many a visit from persons who

Three young students gave him a
call in order to have little amuse-
ment at the elders expense. On ap-
preaching him one of them saluted
him thus: "Well Father Abraham,
how are you today?"
"You are wrong" said the second
student, this is old Father Isaac

both mistaken; this is old Father

The elder loked at the young men,

The Flying Frog of Java.

The. Javanese frog is a creature
measuring between fifteen and twen-
ty-five inches. The skin of its back
is pale blue and by night looks dark
green or olive brown. The frog re-
mains motionless during the day
with eyes sheltered from the light
and with belly up, clinging to its
support by adhesive cushions and by
it's belly, which is provided with a
sticky covering and it is hardly dis
tinguishable from the objects that
surround it, At nightfall it begins
it's hunt for the mammoth crickets
on which it feeds, making leaps cover
ing seven feet of ground. During the
leap the play of lungs filled with air
swells it's body. To descend from a
height it spreads wide its claws and,
dropping, rests upon it's feet.-Har-

Some people, especially those in
politics, have a great deal to say
about the unfairness of newspapers.
Naturally, as member of the pro-
fession, we like to defend the papers
whenever possible, and have done so
on many occasions. Yet we must say
that we are surprised at some things
done by newspapers in this State, and
yet the editors of these papers are
nice fellows and claim to be unpre-
JUDGED and just in their treatment
of those with whom they do not
agree. 1t gives us no pleasure to
say this and we do it with reluctance,
but if it shall serve any good purpose
we will not regret having said any
thing.

more than six years ago to serve a
life sentence for the murder of Thos.
Drake, an aged and leading farmer
of Anderson county. While his at
torneys were taking his case to the
Supreme Court, Emmerson escaped
from the Anderson Jail by'means of a
key he made from stick Of solder.
During the ten months he was fugi-
tive, the Supreme Court affirmed the
verdict of the lower court. Emmer-
son later surrendered to constable
and was taken to Columbia to COM
mence his sentence. The trial attract
ed much interest and was one of the
most noted ever held in Anderson

BEAT NEGRO TO DEATH.
superintendent of Gang Arrested on
Warrant Charging Murder.

Aiken, S. c., Aug. 16.-That he
literally beat a negro convict to death
is the charge that has been brought
against Albert Sorgee, superintendent
of the Aiken County chaingang.
At least, the negro, John Hen
bricks, died after he had been given
q whipping by the convict boss, and
Sorgee, arrested and charged with
murder, has been released on bail.
1t is customary when chaingang
convicts refuse to work to whip them,
according to common report. They
are sometimes whipped for other in
fractions of the camp rules. Sorgee
does not deny that he whipped the
Hendricks negro, but his friends deny
that the whipping he gave the negro
brought about his death.
Sorgees defense will be, it is un-
derstood, that the negro was sick
when he was put on the gang; that
he did not die from the whipping, but
from the disease from which he was
suffering.
Hendricks, it is understood, had
been sent to the gang for compara-
lively short sentence. Furnishing the
negro for some misconduct or for
failure to do his work, Sorgee is
said to have used the lash on him. 1t
is so charged in the warrant that the
superintendent whipped the negro. A
few days later Hendricks died.
Members of the negro's family took
the matter up and had the warrant
issued for Sorgee's arrest. He was
placed in the Aiken jail, but released
yesterday on $4,000 bail. He will be
given a preliminary hearing before
Magistrate Smoak next Tuesday.

and were beyond control before the

was no insurance.
