AN ELEPHANT HUNT.
Huge Beast Escapes From Show Near
HartSyille.

Hartsville, March 11.-A large
elephant, which escaped from a cir
Gus train said to have been wrecked
to-day on the Seaboard, near Patrick,
was killed tonight in the Halls Mill
neighborhood, six miles out, by a
large party of men, which had fol-
lowed it for some time. 1t is said to
have been a very large elephant by
those present at the killing. 1t was
shot into repeatedly and chopped in
to with axes and finally weakened
and killed. 1t caused quite stir
in the sparsely settled portion of
Chesterfield and Darlington counties
through which it travelled.
Many wild reports were circulated
in Hartsville tonight about damage
it had done. The military company
was asked for, and while it did not
go, of course, many men went from
here and some were at the killing.
1t is, of course, a great pity that it
was not watched and followed until a
keeper could arrive on the scene, for
from all reports it does not appear tc
have attempted any violence to the
party in pursuit, but since it was
most unusual game for this part OF
the country the people can hardly be
blamed for making away with it IN
their excitement.

Speaking of Boa Constructor.

Dr.. Frank Baldwin, of Illionis,
who recently returned from an ex-
ploring trip in the Philippine arch
ipelago, also sounds a new note re-
garding an unsavory reputation in
the reptile kingdom.
All of my reading life says DR..
Baldwin, Il have regarded the boa
constructor with horror and aversion.
had severely criticised his habit of
hanging in loops from the jungle
trees and of hauling up the unwary
passerby from beneath, says Golfers
Weekly. When 1 got into the jungle
my great desire was to meet up with
a large boa under favorable condi-
tions to show my detestation for him.
When I did find one, what was my
surprise to find my sentiments those
of pity for the snake. He was
stretched across the path, and when
the natives saw him they pounced on
him with yells of delight. That
snake had no more to say about pro-
ceedings than the Republican party
in Mississippi. He seemed dazed
from the start. With a native for
every yard of him grabbing him
tightly he proceeded on legs through
the jungle and down to the beach on
the run, wigging feebly and Kissing
in a hopeless manner. There his
head was cut off with no more cere-
mony than is observed with chick
en-, he was folded tightly into clam
shell about three feet in diameter
and a fire built. In an hour he was
cooked, and in another hour this
great snake, which had been pain
fully accumulating feet and inches
for years, had disappeared. I felt
little bit indignant. Here was a
triumph of triple growth-a snake as
long as a torchlight procession-a
prohibition torchlight procession in
Milwaukee, eradicated to make a
light lunch for fifty hungry men.
For a minute l felt like turning con-
servationalist on the subject

COOL AMID DANGER.
Wellesley College Girls March Out Of
Building in Order.

Wellesley, Mas, March H.
Perfect discipline, GOODNESS and brav-
cry on the part Of the students and
faculty members, prevented loss OF
life or injury, when College hall, the
oldest of the Wellesley college
buildings, was burned to-day.
The hundred and fifty young wo-
men students, fifty instructors and
fifty maids, were in bed when the
fire was discovered Every one was
saved, and not one of the scores who
marched in an orderly procession
through smokefilled Railways, suf,
fered so much as a scratch.
The building was left a blackened
she'll. Within it's crumbled walls was
wreckage representing a loss OF
100000. Of this amount 100000
was the estimated value of personal
property of the inmates, nearly all
of whom escaped in scanty attire
Insurance will amount to about
100000.
Miss Ellen Fitz Pendleton, presi'
dent of the institution, said another
structure would be erected in the
near future.
On account of the fire, the entire
college was ordered closed until
April 7, the end of Easter recess
Nearly 1000 of the 1900 young wo-
men had left for their homes TO-
night.
President Pendleton took occasion
to praise the conduct of the students
as extraordinary.
"Never BEFORE" she SAID, "has
there been such a fire, with similar
conditions without loss of life or in
jury to someone. The obedience to
the fire drill was credit to the col
lege. There were no screams or
cries heard and this in itself show
ed perfect and marvellous control. "

At last the efforts of Bamberg peo-
pie to obtain another railroad are at
an end, for the rails will be laid in
to town in the next few weeks. 1t
has taken long time and a lot OF
hard work on the part of few peo-
pie, and they are to be congratulate
ed. A small body of men have been
working on the railroad matter for
years, but Messrs. Thos. Black and
w D. Rhoad have certainly done
valiant service since last move
ment was launched, and to them
much credit is due for the fact that
the road is about completed

We should have no State cam
naign this wear. Each candidate
should be allowed to make his cam
paign in his own way. That's the
way they do in other States, and we
cannot see where the Democratic
party has any right to appoint cam
paign meetings in every county in
the State and expect the candidates
to attend. The expense of running
for office in South Carolina is getting
beyond the means of anybody ex.
cept wealthy man, and surely there
be few who will say that the cam
paign speeches are instructing the
people

The New Farmer.

There was a time, not so many
years ago, when the farmer was made
the subject of humorous remarks
and his occupation was spoken of in
derisive terms. 1t requires no spec
ial feat Of memory to bark back to
the days when the average farmers
sole aim was to accumulate enough,
by sacrifices or other means, to send
his son to school in order that the
latter might never be compelled to
farm. But all that was before the
day of labor-saving farm machinery
and modern household conveniences:
before the era of high-priced beef
and other farm products; before sci
ence had taken a hand in the farm
operations. To-day the farmer is the
substantial citizen of the community );
the man with the snug little bank &C
count-not wealthy, but still COM
fortably provided for. To-day thous-
ands of farmers sons are attending
their various State Universities
not for the purpose of studying med
icine or law or theology, but for the
purpose of learning how to farm.
Agriculture has advanced from a
rule-of-thumb art to a business bas-
ed on science 1t demands the best
energies of our wide-awake young
men and women, and rewards them
accordingly

The conference was held here in or
der that O'Shaughnessy might receive

have been difficult TO cable. The

FINDS WEAKNESS
IN SIGNAL LIGHT
Chief Goodwin Wants New
Device Attached to PO-
lice Call System.

The fash light signal system used
by the police department has one
weakness, according to Chief Goodwin
which is the inability to tell from
what box a patrolman reports other
than as he gives the number.
On each district or beat there are
three boxes from which the patrol
man may report but the officer on the
desk can not tell from what box the
report comes from except by the
number which the reporting patrol
man gives. Otherwise the new chief
has nothing but praise for the sys-
tenn which is the idea of his prede-
ceSsOr.
An automatic device which would
register the box number from which
the report comes would make the sys-
tenn perfect, Chief Goodwin believes
Ee has asked the telephone company
officials if such device can be con
rected with the present switchboard
Officials are working on plan.
Regarding the redistricting of the
patrolmen, Chief Goodwin said he
had determined upon period of three
months for patrolman to be on one
beat before he is transferred to an
other. These changes will not be
made for several weeks, until he has
consulted with the board of police
commissioners to get their opinion.

CONTRACTOR OBTAINS
PART OF MONEY DUE
Commissioners Agree to
Make Partial Settlement
to Hipskind.

Part payment will be made to John
Hipskind on the balance due him by
the county on the Liberty pike con-
tract, according to a decision OF the
county commissioners yesterday. The
last payment kes been withheld pend
ing an appeal Of tho suit Of Hipskind
versus the board of commissioners, to
decide who should bear the cos. Of
repairing the $500 washout of the
road below 6eeIor's hill.
Judge Smith. of Portland decided
against the commissioners recently,
giving decision for SS,565 for Hip
skind. The contractor asked a pay
ment of $1,000, offering to leave
standing the amount required to re-
pair the washoHt, should the com
missioners appeal the case.
Hipskind says he does not object
to the commissioners appealing the
case as he is confident the decision
in his favor with be upheld. However,
he entered strenuous complaint
against the fact that the county has
more than $4,000 due him, while he
is paying interest on the money and
maintaining bond of $4,000 besides.
After what threatened to end in a
wrangle, an am1cable understanding
was reached and Saturday the com
missioners will render their decision
on what amount of money the county
shall pay Hipskind and the amount
Of bond he will be required to give
tC cover the damages in the Liberty
pike washout.

MANY MERCHANTS
NOT PLANT PATRONS

That only fifteen per cent. of the
Main street business men were pa
irons of the municipal light and pow
ger Clarence Kleinknecht at a board
meeting held this afternoon to dis
cuss proposed changes in the street
lighting system.
kleinknecht is an advocate Of in
stalling a luminous arc lighting sys-
tenn throughout the city. Main street
business men have been urging Clus-
ter lights for the Main street business
district, the current to be furnished
free of charge by the municipal plant.
Kleinkrecht also said some of the
merchants wanted their places of bus
mess wired by the municipal plant for
emergency purposes, but he has re-
fused such requests because the bulk
Of the business has always been CIV
en- the city plants competitor. He also
said that when the engines at the
plant were carrying the peak" Of
their load and were suddenly called
up to carry an additional load, such as
emergency cases. it worked great
hard ship to the engines. He said he
would not favor a duplicate service
for any business house unless a liberal
minimum charge was paid OF the city
plant monthly for it's readiness to pro
vide service.
A representative Of luminous arc
light company appeared before the
board this afternoon. No action on
| the lighting question will be taken by
| the board, however. for some time.

HITS FAKE" CURES

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. S.--A hair
dye" and hair restOrer" are not
the same thing according to the state
board Of health, and campaign
Of statewide scope has just been inau
gurated against manufacturers and
distributors Of patent medicines and
remedies who resort to alleged fake
Advertising under a law passed by
the last Indiana General Assembly.
The first suit instituted was that
of Mrs. Mary f Phelan, Of Indiana
polls, who was charged with adver-
Using hair restorer" which was in
reality only hair dye"
A chemist of the health board an
alyzed the preparation and reported
that it contained a. large percentage
of nitrate of silver, which would not
restore hair, but would change its
color
Mrs. Phelan admitted that her rem
edy would not restore hair but
claimed that she advertised it as a
hair "restorer" because nearly all
hair dyes are called ''restorers. -
Judgment was withheld, but the cam
paign against fake advertising will go
forward
