Clock Without a Spring.

A unique timepiece has recently
been invented by Eugene Walser, a
matchmaker in Los Angeles. Four
years of work has perfected a clock
which keeps accurate time but with
out spring in it's makeup.
The motive power is gained by the
clock rolling down an incline, regu-
lated by wonderful arrangement of
weights on the inside of the clock.
There is no winding to be done, but
every thirty days the clock is lifted
to the top of the incline and begins
to slide downward.
The dial does not revolve with the
case, but remains as an ordinary dial
with the figure IL at the top. The
incline is of polished wood, sixteen
inches long with an 1-3 per cent
grade. There is no relation between
the wood and the clock; it is simply
a matter of properly adjusted weights
which move the hands and control
the downward motion of the time
piece.-The Strand.

T.B. CAUGHMAN DENIED BAIL.
SLAYER of Sumter Rural Policeman in
Jail Until Trial.

Sumter, May 29.-Bail was refused
T. 3. Caughman, the young man who
several days ago shot and killed Ru-
raj Policeman A. NJ. Bateman, yester-
day by Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary
at hearing in Columbia, this being,
it is said, the second refusal to grant
bail ever made by Chief Justice Gary
in his judicial career. On the show
ing made the Chief Justice would not
allow Caughman to be released on
bail and he will therefore be held in
the county Jail until court convenes
On June %.
On Caughman's first trip to Colum-
bia he stated it was the first time
that he had ever ridden on a train,
and he asked the deputy sheriff who
had him in charge to show him a
skvscraper, saying that he had heard
of them, but had never seen one be-
fore. His ride from Smithville to the
county Jail the day of his arrest was
the first he had ever taken in an au-
tomobile.

Here Comes the Bride.

There are 72S Kansas girls taking
the courses in the Brides School,
at the Kansas Agricultural college
this year, and when they complete
their work next June there will be
that many prospective brides ready
for home; brides who know how to
do it, in keeping house properly, says
a Topeka dispatch to the Cincinnati
ENQUIRER. There will be graduated
73S girls, who will never feed their
husbands on sour biscuits or look
dowdy in the new dress hubby last
bought.
No one knows just exactly how
many engaged girls there are in the
school this year. The instructors can
only guess, and the best guess is that
fully 500 of the girls now taking the
course are already engaged.
The work is all a part Of the do
mestic science department at the big
state school, and it was organized
three years ago especially as train
ing for prospective brides.

Find Skeletons in Ashes.

Atlanta, Ca, May 29.-Mystery
surrounds the finding by neighbors
Yesterday of two charred skeletons
in the smouldering ashes of house
which had stood on the McDonough
road, two miles from the federal pris-
on, and which had been occupied by
Mrs. Sarah G.. Stevens, her son, II
years old, and her adopted daughter,
Is. The three were seen at the house
about dusk Tuesday, it is reported,
but no one has been found who saw
the house burn during the night. Mr..
Stevens left Atlanta Tuesday for
Chattanooga to attend the reunion
of the United Confederate veterans.
Near the two charred skeletons
were found the metal portions of a
shotgun, including the barrels and
lock. A local dentist declared one
of the skeletons was that of Mrs.
Stevens. basing his opinion upon the
false teeth which still clung to the
roof of the mouth. The other skele-
ton is believed by the authorities
to be that of the daughter, as the
bodies were found together, and it
is said Mrs. Stevens and her daugh-
ter were accustomed to sleep in the
same room.
The authorities of DeKalb county,
in which the house was located, are
investigating the tragedy. The girl
was taken in infancy from an or
phanage.
Police are searching for the son,
who has disappeared.
After careful examination of the
circumstances surrounding the death
of Mrs Sarah Stevens and her adopt
ed daughter, Nellie, the coroner's
jury, late today, ordered the appre-
hension and detention of Wade Stew
ems, son of the dead woman, pending
further Investigation.
Nothing has been learned of the
movements of young Stevens since
Tuesday night, when he is said to
have announced his determination to
go to Chattanooga. 1t is stated that
Mrs. Stevens wished her son to re-
main at home, and that she had sent
his clothes to a neighbor's house in
order to prevent his departure.
DeKalb county officers believe that
Mrs. Stevens and the girl were muir
dered and the house burned to con-
ceal the crime. Mrs Stevens was re-
ported to have kept considerable
sums of money in the house, and it is
thought that the motive for the muir
ders was robbery. The skull of Mrs.
Stevens was crushed as though from
a blow with some heavy weapon.

ISM COUNTY JAIL
AT AIKEN.
Officers Have Kept Cause
of Arrest a SeCret-No
Violence Anticipated.

Aiken, June 2.-Elliott Jackson, a
negro of about 35 years Of age, cap
tured by the Aiken police after a
search lasting several hours late Sat-
urday night, is in jail charged with a
heinous crime.
About dark Saturday evening the
13-year-old daughter of farmer who
lives just outside of the city limits of
Aiken was sent by her mother to
store near their home and on the edge
of what is known as Baptist Bot
TOM negro settlement, in the low
er part of the city, for package OF
coffee. The little girl went to the
store, made her purchase and had
started back home when she was
overtaken by the Jackson negro, who
had evidently been loafing about the
store and saw her leave there alone.
Although it was rapidly growing
dark, the little girl suspected nothing
when the negro spoke to her and
walked by her side until the negro
suddenly caught hold of her and
placing his hand over her mouth. to
stiie her screams, bore her to the
ground
The child struggled in the grasp OF
VIII of
someone approaching from the oppo-
site direction from that in which they
had come from the store, released his
intended victim. Crying for help, the
child ran in terror back to where the
lights of the store glimmered. Terror
stricken, she ran into the store, fol-
lowed by the negro brute, and sought
shelter behind a negro woman, who,
shielding her, fought off the attack
ing negro with an umbrella.
In the darkness the negro escaped.
The police were notified by the little
girls father of the attempted assault
upon his daughter, and they began
systematic search. Persons at the
store were able to furnish the name
of the negro. Every officer on the
force was pressed into service, but
the matter was kept absolutely secret,
only the police and a few others
knowing of the attempted assault.
A little before midnight Officer
Cleckley, who had been watching in
the vicinity of the negro's home, al
ter the house had been searched, saw
a dark form moving in the weeds
few wards in the rear of the house.
Approaching, he captured Jackson
who was unarmed.
The police, fearing that if the mat
ter became known a lynching would
follow, kept it secret, arresting the
negro and docketing an insignificant
charge against him until this morn
ing. This morning the facts be-
came known.
No apprehension that the negro
will be lynched or that efforts will be
made to lynch him is felt by the po-
lice and county officials.
The negro denies attempting to as
sault the little girl, but states that he
was merely playing with her, and
that he followed her into the store
when she ran for fear that she had
become frightened and might miscon-
strue his intention.

NOVELTIES IN TAXES.
When Whiskers, Babies Bachelors
and Horses Had to Pay Fines.

The happy lot of Lloyd George
chancellor of the British eXchequer,
who. it is estimated, will have bud
get surplus of S1,125,OOO, forms a
striking contrast to that Austen
chamberlain, who in 1904, had 10
provide for a deficit of S3,OOO,OO0
in the national balance sheet. Some
startling suggestions were made TO
the member for East Worchester-
shire on that occasion by those who
considered themselves fully capable
of teaching the chancellor OF the
eXchequer his business.
Among other things on which II
was said duties should be imposed
were such necessities as boots, baths,
lamps, hats, umbrellas, perambula-
tors and theatre! tickets. Extraordl-
nary though these suggestions were.
however, they were not more so than
some budget schemes which have
actually been carried out in the past,
in order to raise the country's reve-
nue.
In 1895, for instance, tax OF z
shillings had to be paid by the par
ents of every little stranger born
in England, except by the people in
receipt of aims This tax fell heavily
on the masses, to whom a form
meant a great deal more than it does
today. The nobility and the gentry,
too, found the tax very irksome, for
it increased according to rank, the
birth of the duke adding $50 to the
revenue.
No small amount of fun has been
made of the New Jersey state legisla-
ture sometime ago in proposing the
graduated tax on men with boards.
But it is by no means an original
proposal.
Queen Elizabeth put a tax OF
farthings on every beard of a fort
nights growth, while two centuries
ago Peter the Great insisted that all
mobiles who wore boards should pay
100 rubles for the privilege.
On several occasions it has been
said that the selfish individual who
refuses to lead another mans daugh-
ter to the alter and provide for her
for the rest of his life, should be
multed a certain amount each year.
1t is an old idea, for at one time
resident of England who reached the
age of 25 was liable to tax of shil-
ling per annum until he married.
Furthermore, widowers without chill
dren were obliged to pay the same
amount until they married again,
while the gentry and nobility paid
higher tax in proportion to their rank.
AS chancellor of the exchequer,
Pitt rendered himself very popular by
the extraordinary means to which he
resorted in order to improve the state
of the country's finances. He it was
who first introduced the income tax
in 1898, and he also levied one upon
horses, which caused certain farmer
to use a COW for the purpose of rid
ing to and from the market.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

HIS COMPAN-
IONS ARE HURT.
Two of Them Seriously In
iured. j. Smith of CO.
lumbia Hurt.

Augusta, Ca, May 31.-Harrls H
D'Antignac is dead and four com
panions who were with him in an au-
tomobile are more or less seriously
injured as the result of an accident
at a point about mile beyound the
Dan Bowles place, near Double
Branches.
At a point where the Savannah
road is intersected diagonally by the
road leading to the Richmond County
Agricultural Society club house, the
automobile. which was being driven
by R. w. Spofford, 'sideswiped' a
loaded farm wagon, spun around in
the road and turned over. The occu-
pants of the car were pinned under
it and sustained injuries.
Columbia Men Among Them.
In the car were: R. w. Spofford,
Superintendent of the Augusta-Aiken
Railway and Electric corporation:
H. H. D'Antignac, son-in-laW OF
Thomas Barrett, Jr.; Albert A. David
son of the Augusta-Aiken Railway
and Electric corporation; John A
Swallow of the engineering depart
ment of the Charleston & Western
Carolina railway; James Smith of the
division department of the Southern
railway, Columbia, S. c.
Of the five in the car Mr.. Swallow
and Mr.. Davidson are now the most
seriously injured, the former not hav-
ing fully recovered consciousness at
midnight, and the latter apparently
suffering most from a severe injury
to the back. Both are at the city
hospital and information is that it
will be impossible to tell until proba-
bly, tomorrow afternoon whether or
not Mr.. Swallow has sustained in
ternal injuries. Mr.. Smiths injuries
are slight.

Struck Farm Wagon.

The men made up one of the par
ties leaving the Carmichael Fishing
club little after s o'clock, after at
tending the annual barbecue of the
cotton exchange. Mr.. Spofford, driv-
ing the car, was making an effort to
get to the city as quickly as possible.
At the point where the accident oc-
Cured the road has a slight bend,
partly obstructing the view to the
highway beyond. Driving at high
rate of speed, Mr.. Spofford attempted
suddenly to cut around a loaded farm
wagon, which he saw almost upon
him. The front wheels of the auto
mobile swerved clear of the wagon,
but the rear wheels struck the wagon
on one side of it's front and drove it
backward nearly so yards. The au-
tomobile was spun around and top
pied over, catching the occupants
under it.

DEEPER DIVING
SPOTS AT ARDEN

Arden kiddies have devoted several
days this week to cleaning out the
swimming pool in Arden forest and
now the pool is several feet deeper.
The pool was made by the youngsters.
aided by their elders, when a cement
dam was constructed across Namann's
Creek. During the spr,Lg freshets
much refuse matter is carried
down the street and becomes lodged
in the pool.
AS several of the children. espe-
cially Heloise Brown. daughter Of
George Brown, have develo jed diving
streaks and are taking piunges daily
from a high point of the bank it was
thought best to clear the pool of all
distractions. AS a result many OF
the boys this week entered the pool
with rakes and all waste matter. to-
gether with numerous logs, were re-
moved.
