M'DERNIOTT GIVES UP SEAT.
Illinois Representative Resigns From
House.

Washington, July 21.-By resign
ing from the house of representatives
James T. McDermott of the Fourth
Illinois district to-day brought to an
end the agitation in the house that
followed the publication and investi-
cation of the lobby charges made by
NJ. NJ. Mulhall, former agent of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers. With resolutions pending pro-
posing punishment ranging from a
reprimand to expulsion for his con-
duct as disclosed in the inquiry, Rep
resentative McDermott announced
his resignation and asserted that he
would seek reelection, "appealing his
case from the judiciary committee of
the house to the people of his dis
trict."
Chairman Webb of the judiciary
committee said later no action would
be sought on the report of the judi
ciary committee recommending reso-
lutions reprimanding McDermott and
officers of the National Association of
Manufacturers. These resolutions had
been fixed by a special order for con-
sideration in the house Thursday.

What He Did.

A little town boasts a church whose
pastor, besides being an eloquent
preacher, is man of stalwart proper
tions, says Pittsburg Dispatch. At
one of his evening prayer meetings
the services were disturbed by two
young men who audibly scoffed at
everything they saw or heard. FL
nally the pastor demonstrated with
them on their behavior and asked
them why they had attended the
meeting.
I'VE came to see miracles per-
formed, imprudently replied one of
the rascals.
Leaving the pulpit and walking
quietly down the aisle, the minister
seized one after the other by the
collar and as they disappeared out Of
the door with an imprint of his boot,
remarked: We don't perform mira
cles here. but we do cast out devils.

VICTIMS OF WHEATsICKNESs.
Train Passengers in Kansas Upset by
The Billowy Grain Fields.

Seasckness in the heart of Kansas,
in the geographical centre of the
United States, has arrived. The mala-
dy is caused by the wheat fields.
Travellers on railway trains in central
and western Kansas tell some weird
tales about the sickness. On nearly
every line in the State long, unbroken
fields of wheat, five and six foot
stalks, can be seen as far as the eye
can reach. And it is known far and
wide that a wind more or less gentle
blows most of the time in the Sun
flower State. The wind, blowing
against the thousands of acres ef
wheat, produces all there is to it, but
persons have become violently i'll be-
cause of the wheat.
A tale is told of one man who has
been to Europe several times. Sitting
in his Pullman on a through train
the traveller looked out to admire the
luxurious wheat lands. AS usual the
wheat was waving. 1t caught the eye
of the traveller. It worried him. He
ceased looking at the wheat and de-
cided to soothe his feelings with a
cigar. He arose to enter the smok-
ing compartment, and made his way
there with some difficulty. In a short
time he was seasick.
Doctors tried to diagnose the
trouble, but failed. Finally one Of
them reached the conclusion that it
was a new illness, wheatsickness. And
later circumstances point out that
it is true. Trainmen report daily that
passengers have slight or serious at
tacks of wheatSickneSs

IMPRISONED BY BEES.
Man in Tree Held Captive by Wild
Honeymakers.

Milton Robb, of Colesville, had a
thrilling experience, says the Pitts
burg Gazette-Times, when a swarm
of wild honey bees he was attempting
to capture settled on him after he
had dislodged them from the limb OF
a tree, and for 21a hours he clung
with one arm to the tree, 40 feet
above the ground, while his brother
ran 2 miles for a ladder and help.
Robb and his brother Sherwood
went two miles up the mountain to a
tree bearing big swarm. Milton
climbed the tree to the bee limb and
began to saw it of, holding the limb
with one hand so it would not drop
too suddenly.
He miscaculated the weight Of the
bees, for when the limb was about
severed he could not hold it with
one hand and it swished downward
against his body before it broke and
dropped to the ground.
The queen bee was knocked of
and took refuge under his left arm,
which he had flung around limb OF
the tree to hold himself from falling.
Instantly the bees followed their
queen and swarmed on him, covering
his left side, shoulder and arm and
partly encircling the tree. He did
not move for fear of being stung to
death or insensibnity, as in the latter
case he would fall to death on the
rocks below.
Sherwood Robb started on a run
down the mountain. He returned
with a ladder and Oscar Hendricks
and Elmer Broom.
They assisted Milton. bees and all
to the ground. There one of the men
threw the blanket around him and
pulled away as many bees as pos.
sible, while Hendricks tore off Robb's
shirt with the rest of the bees and
told him to run. He could not run
however, and after all the bees had
been switched off with towels, the
men started down the mountain, sup
porting Robb between them. A pry-
sician had to be summoned, as his
face, hands, arms and legs were
swollen. Both Broom and Hendricks
were stung, but did not require medi.
cal attention.

The Country's Great Wheat Crop.

This country has never seen such
a wheap crop as this year." says Pres
ident H. U. Nudge, of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway, who
is in New York after completing a
trip over the company's lines.
THE winter wheap crop is made
and half harvested. The yield is
enormous. In Kansas alone the lowest
estimates are for 35,O00,OO0 bush
els, while ours are for 150,000,0O0
bushels. Yet they never produced
1OO,0OO,0OO bushels of Winter wheat
in that State before.
There is always fear of insuffi-
cient help to harvest the big crops
and it is the same this year although
we have never lost crop yet on ac-
count of lack of men.
This years great crop is more
largely the result of good conditions
of the soil and plant than of greater
acreage; increase in area planted in
Winter wheat is not particularly
large.
First shipments of wheat will
probably be from the Southwest to
the Gulf for export. This will be the
first time in five or six years tlHt
there has been any extensive move
ment of wheat for export"

WILL RETURN TO WORK.
Weavers at Monaghan Mills to Take
Up Differences Later.

Greenville, July 17.-After con-
ference with the mill management
this morning the operatives of Mon
aghan Mills agreed to return to
work Monday morning. After the
resumption of work they will take up
with the management the issue
which, on July 9, caused $50 en-
ployees Of the weave room to walk
out. For two days the mill has been
running, though not to its full ca
pacity. The trouble arose over a
conflict in the rules of the company
and of the Industrial Workers of
the World. Joseph ]. Ettor came to
Greenville Thursday to take charge
of the situation for the l. w. w. He
took no part in the proceedings to-
day.

MUST PAY BACK $4,000.
Court Rules Darlington Must Return
Big Sum of Money.

Anderson, S. c., July 20.-At his
chambers late today Judge Prince ov-
erruled exceptions of defendants. at
torney to ruling of Master McFad-
din, of Richland county, and gave
judgment against John Y. Darlington,
in the sum of $4,000 for Wade
Hampton Cobb, receiver for the Car
olina Agency company. The COM
pany receiver brought suit against
Darlington for an accounting for all
funds received by him as general
manager and treasurer of the COM
pany. The matter was referred to
Master McFaddin to take testimony
and make report of findings. He
found in the sum of $4,000 for
the company receiver, but on other
hand gave Darlington $1,000 for COM
pensation for selling stock.
Judge Prince ruled that Darlington
should not receive compensation for
selling stock, since he was employed
by the company for full time, and
that Darlington exceeded his author
ity if he advanced money to agents.
The complaint asked $4,000 judg-
ment against Darlington and
the court ruled that he
could not give judgment for
$4,000 as the master did, for that
reason.
Darlington, who is absent from the
State, has an interest in several thou
sand acres of land in Jacks Town
ship, Laurens county, but the inter-
est in the land will not near bring
the amount of judgment given today
against him. The Carolina Agency
company was organized as State
agents for the Mutual Life Insurance
company, of Rome, Ga.
Judge Prince, in handing down the
decree, took occasion to criticize the
directors of the company for their
apparent negligence in attending to
the affairs of the company. l..

AGAINST GOVERNOR.
Court Rules He Can't Discharge Mag.
fstrates Without Hearing.

Columbia, July 20.-The supreme
court in a decision today by Chief
Justice Gary reversed the order of
the Anderson circuit court requiring
the officers of Anderson county
to pay the salary of A. B. Sullivan,
on the ground that he was the duly
appointed magistrate for the ciey of
Anderson during the time specified in
his petition.
In the petition it is alleged that
in April, 1913, B. F. Wilson, holding
the Office of magistrate in Anderson.
was suspended from the Office by the
governor, latter due notice and hear
ing and is still suspended from said
Office"
The supreme court reaches the fol-
lowing conclusion: ''The office Of
magistrate at Anderson, S. c., was
not vacant at the time the petitioner
alleges; that he was appointed and
commissioned by the governor, State
VS.. Bowden, 80 S. c., 393.
"The governor has not the power
to suspend a magistrate without first
giving him reasonable opportunity
to be heard on the charge of miscon-
duct. Mcdowell VS.. Burnett, 80 S.
c., 469.
The facts stated in answer of
B. F. Wilson, to the rule to show
cause, are sufficient upon their face,
to show that he was not afforded a
reasonable opportunity to be heard
on the charges of misconduct in Of
fee; and, the agreement of counsel
hereinbefore mentioned, is to the ef-
feet that the facts alleged in said an
swer should be deemed as taken as
true. Therefore, the action of the
governor, purporting to suspend the
incumbent Wilson, and the appoint
ment of the petitioner, A. B. Sullivan,
in his place, was null and void"

THIS SNAKE A NATURE FAKER.
Black Reptile Swallows Bells and
Makes Noise Like a Rather.

Makes Noise Like a Rather.
Curtis E. Spicer, of Laurel, Del, a
well-known business man had the
surprise of his life to-day. While
walking through swamp with sew
eral sportsmen as companions he
heard sound that strangely re-
sembled the rattling Of rattle snake.
AS this species of poisonous reptile
is unknown in Delaware, Spicer and
bis friends were all the more startled.
They were armed with clubs and guns,
and, going into the underground, they
finally unearthed black snake
measuring exactly six feet nine inches
in length. 1t was coiled and ready
to spring.
With difficulty the snake was killed.
An examination failed to reveal any
rattles. The reptile was thereupon
cut open, and, to the surprise of the
sportsmen, they discovered two sleigh
bells and a metal harness buckle. 1t
was the actual jingling of the sleigh
bells against the buckle that sounded
like the deadly warning Of rattler.
The snake had swallowed the ar
ticles. Ir order to prove the truth
of their find to credulous public,
the men took the remains of the
snake and the sleigh bells and the
buckle to Laurel, where they were
shown to large number of persons.

Old-FashiOned Memories.

In a certain New England home,
even so late as 40 years ago, all the
sugar used was made on the farm
from maple sap. The starch was
strained from boiled potatoes, the
saleratus was scraped, as pearly ash
(hence called "pear-ash") from burn
ed wood. The blankets and most
of the wooden outer and under gar
ments worn were spun and woven
from wool raised on the place. The
big fax-patch supplied the linen,
slowly and laboriously hetchelled and
finally manufactured into wonderful
patterns. The meat eaten was all
home-raised. The pork and beef
were salted, dried, picked or chop
ped into sausage by the women of the
family. All of their vegetables and
fruit grew in their gardens and Or
chards, and were transformed in their
own busy kitchen into jellies, mar

AIKEN COUNTY KILLING.
Willie Brown Dead and Lee Yaun
Accused.

Aiken, July 21.-The place of Mr..
Albert Yaun, in the Shaw's Fork Sec
ton of Aiken county, was the scene
of killing on Saturday night, when
Lee Yaun, son of the former, shot
and killed Willie Brown, a farm
hand.
There were only two eye-witnesses
to the occurrence and the testimony
Of each was in contrast at the in
quest, which was held by Coroner
Spradley Sunday morning. One, Mr..
E. C. Moseley, testified that the shoot
ing was justifable homicide and the
other claimed that it was without
provocation.
The dead man and Sam Hightower,
it seems, had been to frolic in that
neighborhood on Saturday night and
when returning went to tie well at
Mr.. Yaun's place to get water. While
there they cut a watermelon. Some
claim that Mr.. Lee Yaun came out
and asked them where they got the
melon and that the fuss started over
that, and the shooting was in self
defence. Others claim that Mr.. Yaun
stated that he would settle with
Brown and began firing.
Mr.. Albert Yaun, father of the
young man, is one of Aiken county's
progressive farmers and is promi-
nently connected. His son came to
Aiken Sunday morning and surrend-
cred to Sheriff Howard.

IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading-Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.

Capt. Iredell Jones, prominent
South Carolinian, died at his home in
Rock Hill Friday afternoon, inter-
ment taking place at that place on
Sunday.
Miss Mamie Brown, aged 25, of Ma
son, Ca, was drowned in the surf at
Sullivan's Island on Friday. Her
friend, Miss Lena Rankin, would have
drowned also but for Henry Raworth,
of Georgia, who rushed into the water
with his clothes on and rescued her.
Durant Halle, Of Sumter county,
who shot and killed his wife, Lou
Halle, on the night of May 7, few
miles south of Camden, was convict
ed of murder at the summer term Of
court, and was sentenced to die in the
electric chair on Friday, August %.
A memorial was dedicated in Char
lesion Monday to the late Capt. John
C. Mitchell, a valiant Confederate
soldier, who was killed during the
bombardment of Fort Sumter in the
War Between the Sections. The prin-
cipal speaker at the dedication was
Mayor John Pueroy Mitchell, of New
York city, who is a nephew Of Capt.
Mitchell.
]. T. Williams, who lives near
the Cowpens battle ground, in Cher
okee county, found in field near
where he lives a piece of mineral of
very peculiar formation, which had
been cut in the shape of dagger,
and which had no doubt been used
by some Indian as weapon. Mr..
Williams, although quite geologist,
was unable to determine just in what
class to place the mineral. He has
quite a valuable collection of miner
ais and metals which he has gather
ed in this vicinity.
Many remarkable incidents have
been reported, following the great
storm which swept large sections of
York county some time ago. One OF
these is told by John T. Roddey, who
lost ten lne COWS in Fewell's pas
ture, west of Yorkville few miles.
Mr.. Roddey says that in one place in
the pasture were found dead three
COWS, two partridges, five doves, three
rabbits and three good sized black
snakes. The animals, birds and rep
tiles, had either all perished together
or had been piled up by the food of
water.
Meeks and Tom Griffin, Nelse Brice
and John Crosby, who were sentenced
few days ago by Judge Moore to
die in the electric chair for the mur-
der of John o. Lewis, have secured
stay of execution on an appeal to
the State supreme court. This stay
is based on after discovered evidence.
The negroes were to have died on
August Z. The attorney for the de-
PENDANTS says that if the arter-dis-
covered evidence which he will intro
duce will not secure them another
trial that he will carry the case to
the United States supreme court.

There remains only five days
in which to enroll for voting
in the Democratic primary on
August 25. The books will
close on the 2Sth of July and
will not be opened again be-
fore the primary. All those
who have not yet enrolled
should do so at once. Also
those who enrolled by signing
only their initials should see
that their full names are writ
ten on the enrolment books,
as it is probable that all such
persons will not. be allowed to
vote.
