TIGER ATTACKS BALLOON.
AMERICAN HAS FIERCE BATTLE
on SIBERIAN PLAINS.
Beast Clings to Car When Balloomst
and His Fiance Attempt to Make a
Landing.

A thrilling adventure of American
balloonists with a tiger has been re-
ported at St. Petersburg, Russia. Ac-
companied by his fiance, Mr.. Fobster,
an American airman we'll known in
Siberia, made an ascent from Vladl-
vostok with the intention of reaching
Khabarovsk, a town on the Amur.
The weather, however, proved unfav-
orable, and the airman decided to
land at the first favorable place.
He accomplished the descent, and
as the balloon neared the ground
jumped out, holding the trail rope,
intending to drag the balloon down
to earth and assist the girl to de-
scend. AS soon as he had jumped.
however, he noticed Siberian tiger,
which jumped over the American
who had thrown himself on the
ground. sprang at the car and re-
NAMED hanging while the balloon re-
ascended.
Mr., Fobster had no weapon with
him but a knife, and it was out
OF the question to urge the girl to
jump out, since she would have been
killed on the spot. Shouting to the
girl to keep quiet, he grasped the
end of the guide rope and ran to the
river, 200 or 800 yards away.
Meanwhile the tiger was making
desperate efforts to climb into the
car, and the airman, reaching the
river, which happily was not very
deep at that point, jumped in and
then shouted to his finance to jump
down. The girl hesitated, but at that
very. moment the tiger, struggling
for life, made a last desperate effort
| and climbed into the car. Then the
girl took the leap.
Mr.. Fobster then let the guide
rope go and swan to the rescue of
his companion. At the same time the
balloon, lightened of the weight OF
the girl, rose quickly up with the
amazed tiger in it. The couple were
rescued by peasants. The tiger has
not been heard from.

Whiskey Stolen During Fire.

Augusta, Ca, Jan. 19.-Quantities
OF whisky were stolen by negroes and
white men this morning when the
North Augusta, S. c., dispensary was
threatened by a fire which consumed
a big warehouse of the Industrial
Lumber Company, nearby. The
whisky was removed through fear Of
destruction by the flames. The fire
damage will result in a loss of from
$4,000 to $4,000, covered by in

MAN WITH CAMERA EYE.
Andrew Irle, Famous Sleuth, Not On.
Iy Possessor of Unerring Memory.

Most of US frequently experience
more or less embarrassment from the
inability to associate faces with
names. Our memories OF the face
and the name are stored, as 1t were,
in separate mental compartments.
and we cannot quickly bring them
together. In Andrew Irles brain
they seemed to be stored in the same
compartment and always apparently,
came out together.
Many public men have owed much
of their popularity to their ability at
once to call a man by name when
they see his face. The average man
is pleased to be thus instantly and
accurately remembered The late
James G. Blaine was notable eX-
ample of this faculty. Andrew lrles
went much further. His eyes, like
the Photographic camera, seemed to
record all details of appearance, and
his brain put under the same index
all things seen or heard about any
person in whom his business inter-
ested him.
He seemed to have for men whom
he had met what may be called a
complete" memory. When he saw
the face again, or a picture of it, he
recalled at once the name, the time.
and place where seen before, the
circumstances, and the companions.
Scores of stories are told about his
wonderful identifying memory, out OF
which one must suffice here.
.One day there came into the Pink
erton agency, with which Irle was
connected, a photograph from the
police OF Portland, Ore, of man
under arrest in connection with a
bank robbery The direct evidence
against him was not strong, and he
was not at all known as criminal
to the Pacific Coast police, AS soon
as Irle saw the picture he declared
it to be that of man arrested ana
convicted for a similar offense at
Binghamton, n Y, about 10 years
before, giving the exact date, cir
cumstances, and the names of ac-
completes. And so it was.
On his release from prison, after
about four years, the convict had
either turned to honest ways or at
least had kept out of sight of the
police. He had simply disappeared
from his old haunts in the East.
Either he had failed to make sue
cess of honest industry or had
thought it safe, in a distant part of
the country, and after lapse OF
nearly 10 years, to- resume criminal
career.
Mr.. Irle had the same complete
memory for handwriting. Only few
weeks ago he was shown portion
of letter. He at once named the
writer, though more than 10 years
had passed since he had last seen
any writing by the same hand, and
then only a short note. BY Andrew
Irles death society has lost men,
Der whose special faculties and pecu-
liar powers made him remarkably
useful and efficient in its protection
against it's predatory clements

We received a few days ago the
first copy of the Anderson 1ntelli-
gencer as daily paper. 1t has not
been on our exchange list for some
time. The issue referred to contains
twenty-four pages, made up of inter
esting matter and a liberal advertls
ing patronage. VIM Banks is editor
and W. W. Smoak is business mana
ger, both of them hardworking and
competent newspaper men. The pa
per is owned by the business men
Of Anderson, and has strong financial
backing. With such men as Banks
and Smoak to guide it, the paper
should prove a success, even though
the field is a limited one. But ALI
derson is mighty good town, AND
possibly can support morning and
afternoon paper. Our best wishes
are with the new daily and its editor
and business manager.

That rumor about Jim Byrnes run
ming for governor was evidently not
started by any friend of his. Ot
course Byrnes would make a good
governor, but he is going to run for
his present job, and is not casting
any longing eye on the executive
chair. He appreciates the confidence
OF the voters of the second district
and will continue to serve them as
congressman.

Editor Wallace, Of the NeWberr!

with him all right. In his issue OF

and a half of space. We thought ne
had learned better by this time.

The hospital project is not dead
by any manner of means. DR.. j. j.
Cleckley, who has taken much inter-
est in the matter, is still at work on
it, and we feel sure the matter will
be pushed forward to success. 1t
is probable that the residence of the
late Mr.. H. H. Copeland will be pur-
chased for the hospital in case the
necessary amount of subscriptions
to the capital stock of the hospital
company can be secured, and this
seems practically assured.

We fear that Bamberg will not
have a sewerage system for some
time to come, as many people who
have water works are putting in sep
tic tanks. Mr.. Hatchell, who has
been here for some time putting in
these tanks, says that he has built so
far a dozen or more and others are
putting them in. If so many per-
sons 20 to the expense of having
these tanks put in, they will not be
in favor of extra taxes for sewerage.

FlCES IN THE NEWLY
CREATED COUNTY.

fifty miles from Brunswick, as the
county seat, which was created by
the last legislature and ratified by
the people at the polls Tuesday, is
in the midst of one of the hottest
local campaigns south Georgia has
ever known, and the various contests

in the county is dosirous of Serving
the county in some capacity, as there
are more than thirty candidates in
the field for the various offices.
The office of sheriff seems to be
the most attractive one. as there are
no less than seven candidates for
that position. Five are seeking to be
the first clerk of the county, four are
aspiring for the cffice of tax receiver,
three are running for treasurer, two
TO tax collector, two for the house,

PARIS PLEASED
WITH SITUATION
ALL ALONG FRONT
FRENCH SEEM TO THINK THE
GERMANS ARE FORCED
OVER FRONTIER.
OPTIMISTIC VIEW IS TAKEN
1t Is Announced That a Well Train
ed Corps Has Joined the Allies.
Good Reports of Win Along the
Front.

Paris, Nov. 6.-Paris today appears
to be more optimistic. The hope is
freely expressed that a few more
weeks of patient effort OH the part
OF the allies will result in forcing
the German right hack into the in
terrier of Belgium and so compelling
the withdrawal of the whole line
from Lille TO Moselle, toward the
frontier
This hopefulness is based largely
on the progress of the allies eass of
the User. The lack of former energy
in the German offensive between Dix
nude and the Lys, whether it indi-
Gates general retirement of the
temporary exhaustion of their troops,
is held to be remarkable since there
are no less than eight army corps
massed on that front. These corps
are described as made up to a great
extent of reservists and young volun-
teers, full of heroism, but, according
to French military experts, deficient
in training and more likely to fall
victims to pneumonia
While the comparison cannot be
otherwise than prejudical, the French
insist that the men who are joining
the French army following the new
leVles are especially fit, well trained
full of initiative and become quickly
battle seasoned. The French reserve
officers also are declared to be gen.
orally more skilled than the Germans
The violent German attacks at Ar
ras indicate, it is thought here. that
another attempt is being made tC
turn the French forces similar to the
effort on October 81, which failed be
cause the French obtained early in
formation of the German plans.
A dispatch to the Soleil du Midi
from Boulogne says that the attacks
were made by two columns, one from
Lens and the other from Doual. which
joined at Bailleul seventeen miles
northwest of Lille). The dispatch
continued:
"rhe French had evacuated the Wy
lagos north of Arras and kept theil
troops carefully concealed in the city
The Germans, expecting no opposi
tfon, marched into the suburb of st
Nicholas with bands playing and col
ors flying. Suddenly fire was opened
from the houses as thes enemy de
bouched on the bridge over the
Scarpe.

nets dashed forward hoping to escape

Unexpectedly appeared. Caught be
tween quick tirers and the sabers o

down their arms, while the troops be
hind them beat hasty retreat.
Meanwhile French aviator
dropped bombs, destroying the track
behind an armored train, which was
following the column. On the train
was found a sixteen-inch gun which
was being transported in sections and
accompanied by a number of engi
neers from krupps"
