A Tree That Rains.

Among the curiosities of tree
life is the sofar, or whistling tree,
of Nubia. When the wind blows
over this tree it gives out flute
like sounds, playing away to the
wilderness for hours at a time
strange, weird melodies.
The natives say it is the spirit
of the dead singing among the
branches; but scientific white
man says that the sounds are due
to myriad of small holes which
an insect bores in the spines of
the branches.
The weeping tree of the Can
ary Islands is another arboral
freak. This tree in the dryest
weather will rain down showers
from its leaves, and the natives
gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot of the
trunk, and find it pure and fresh
The tree exudes the water
from innumerable pores situated
at the base of the leaves.-Ex.

Took Carbolic Acid.
Lancaster News.

Lancaster News.
Yesterday afternoon, Miss
Flonnie Sowell. daughter of Mr..
H. N. Sowell, who had been
indisposed for several days from
an attack of indigestion, took a
teaspoonful of casbolic acid by
mistake, thinking it was prep
aration for indigestion, which
she had been taking. The car
bolic acid had deem used in some
chicken food and hadbeen left
near the bottle of other medicine.
The acid took immediate effect,
throwing the young lady into
convulsions. Drs. Laney and
Allen were promptly summoned
and gave the usual antidotes for
the poison, but the suffering of
the young lady was intense ahd
prolonged. Although not out
of danger, the physicians are
hopeful that she may recover
The news of the terrible acci-
dent was a shock to the COM
munity in which Miss Sowell is
universal favorite. The News
wishes for her a complete recov-
cry.
Reports from the bedside of
lhe sufferer this morning are
more encouraging. She is rest
ing more comfortably and il is
now believed that she will get
well.

Little David, aged three, had
fallen into sin and his father had
punished him. David, however,
felt that his father was the real
culprit and he accordingly har-
bored a grudge against him all
afternoon. That night when
David's mother said it was time
for him 10 go to bed, he trudged
off resolutely without kissing his
father goodnight.
"Here, my boy" called his
father, aren't you going to kiss
Daddy goodnight"
mo, Daddy" answered David.
"I'll not kiss you goodnight, but
I'll pray for YOU"

DIR. }. II. M'Intosh Wounded
By Night

- o' IA. M lntOSh wounded
By Night
The State, Thursday
DR.. James H. Mcintosh. well
known Columbia physician, was
Shot and perhaps seriously
wounded by an unknown man,
who attacked him shortly before
Z o'clock this morning as the
physician was returning home
along Marion street after a visit
to the knowlton hospital. Ac-
cordlng to statements by DR..
Mcintosh the assailant, after a
struggle, fled over the wall of
the Presbyterian churchyard.
shouting as he scaled the wall:
Nov, YOU won't bother Collie
tomorrow" or "Now, Cole
won't be bothered by you tomor-
row."
DR.. Mcintosh recently has
been brought forward into the
senatorial campaign, Gov. Blease
having said that he expected to
invite the doctor TO be on the
stage at today's meeting when
he would answer the question
asked at Greenville, as to his
statement regarding the condi-
ton of R. A. Richey, who was
paroled by the governor.
There is no clew to the
identity of DR.. McIntosh's assail.
ant. The wounded man de-
scribes him as being small, about
l2O pounds in weight, dressed in
dark clothing and wearing a
cloth cap.
Blood hounds, summoned
from the penitentiary, arrived
some time after the shooting.
Bystanders had been kept away
from the part Of the wall which
the assailant had scaled in his
escape. The trail, therefore,
was relatively easy.
The dogs followed the trail
through The graveyard to Bull
street and thence down that
street to the Corner OF Bull and
Pendleton streets. There the
trail was lost, about half way
across Pendleton street.
Greenville, July 23.-J. w
Norwood, president of the Nor
wood National bank of this city,
today announced that he would
give a reward Of $4,000 for the
arrest and conviction ~of the
party or parties who assailed DR..

early Thursday morning.
Mr.. Norwood in making this
announcement states that his
reward is in addition to any
which have or may be offered.

You Should Take A Vacation.

You Should Take A Vacation.
Between the last civilizations
and the beginning of harvest
time there usually comes a
period when farm work is less
pressing and less exacting-a
period, in fact, that is the farm
er's logical vacation season. If
there be any wealth producer in
the land who is entitled to any
occasional leave of absence
with pay-it is the farmer. Of
course we mean the real farmer
the man who, with head and
hands, has labored long months
that his family may be better
provided for and the country fed
and clothed. Men in other
occupations expect and take
their vacations regularly-why
not the farmer and the farmers
wife?
BY a vacation we do not mean
anything necessarily expensive
or elaborate. All over the South
there are thousand of river banks
land lake shores, cool, pictures
Ique spots in the hills, where a
tent might be pitched for a week
or two weeks, and the family get
more real good than from an ex-
Ipensive, tiresome journey to the
ldlstant Seashore or mountains.
For. after all, the essential part
OF a real vacation lies not in rest
nor in long journeys to strange
Eplaces, but rather IN, the total
change from the constant rou-
tine of work, the same thing day
after day and year after year,
that makes life Irksome and Gre
Iates a desire in the farm boy and
girl for places and scenes where
there is more life and action.

ms MIND ON HIGHER THINGS
Scholar Unable to Sit Down and Rea-
o Quietly on Matters OF
Everyday Life.

A monument was recently unveiled
to the memory of Henri Poincalre, the
famous mathematician and physicist
who was a cousin of the president OF
France. The occasion recalls a story
or two of his remarkable absent'mind-
edness.
Almost every day P%oincare left his
money lying about somewhere. Final
ly his mother sewed his purse into the
pocket of his coat. But one day,
| when he had dressed in a hotel, he
nut on his overcoat without the coat,
and left that lying on a chair. Need
less to say, he never saw the purse
again.
+ One evening he. was looking IN a
! Closed bookcase for a manuscript.
During the search he set the lamp on
a shelf in the case, and in a moment
of abstraction closed the door of the
cabinet, and sat down in darkness.
After he had pondered for a time on
the disappearance of the light, he
came to the conclusion that he had
suddenly become blind. That seemed
to him quite possible since his eyes
were weak, anyway, and he groaned
at the thight of his deplorable condl'
ton. Suddenly to his surprise, a
stream of light appeared, coming from
the adjoining room, and he remarked
with much satisfaction: MY sigh
seems to have come back again." No
!, even then did he think of the lamp IL
