The wicked uncle has arrived. He
is younger than father, and reminds
me very strongly of Diamond Dick,

the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood Of

backache, pains here and there, rheu-

that your visit here is anything more
than one of friendship, but the poor
man is struggling hard to keep his
head above water. He hasn't got q

My heart stopped beating. 1t seemed
too wonderful to be true.

upon that subject, Ned" she contin-
ued, as they moved away. If you un-
derstand that, you are more than well

II understand, Matilda. You al
ways did think the worst Of me"
said Uncle Ned.
That set me thinking. What was
the purpose of uncles visit? I knew
he had been desperate man in his
day. Could he have come to rob us,
and had mother suspected his designs
and uttered a friendly warning that
they would not be tolerated?
For a day or two after that mother
trailed the wicked uncle like a
shadow, especially when he was with
father. AS for me, repaired the old

fer him to rob those who had be-

The mystery was explained about

Mother and I had seen him go out;
but few minutes later he sneaked
in by the back way and went straight
to father in his library.
| I had spotted him. A man does
not inform his womenfolk when dan.
ger is imminent. I simply waited
under the stairs, the empty pistol in
my hands. I knew that Bill Buffalo
had cowed the Outlaw Of the Plains
with tobacco pipe, and would not
scruple to intimidate Uncle Ned with
an empty weapon.

were saying, but all at once mother
came hurriedly into the room. Her
woman's instinct, never at fault-as

crucial moment had arrived. She went

Her voice was angrier than had
ever heard it before. The men cow
cred before her feminine fury.

cried, that you were going to try to
induce Jim to start you in life again.

"Only forty-three, Matilda!" said
Ned in panied voice.

father, in an odd, choked voice.

NO TARDY PUPILS
AT NEGRO SCHOOL
BEST YEARS WORK DONE AND
THE AesENTEEs ARE
VERY FEW.

During the past term there was not
a tardy mark against single pupil
of the negro public schools of Colum-
bia. The list of absentees was much
less than it has ever been and Super
intendent Harris declares that the
school did the best terms work since
it was first established. At the begin
ming of the term the principal an
nounced that the pupils would not,
under any sort of circumstances, be
permitted to come to school late. If
they arrived after the hour, they
would have to return to their homes.
The rule is said to have worked won

crease in the number Of absent ones.

VALUE OF TRUNKS
MUST BE GIVEN
CUMMINs ACT, INVOLVING RAIL
ROADS AND TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
EFFECTIVE JUNE 8.

Under the provisions of the Cum
minis act, travellers on and after June
3, will be compelled to submit to the
railroads a valuation Of their trunks,
a procedure witch the railroads are
preparing to meet with as little in
convenience to their patrons as posi-
BILE.
Under the present rule railroads
carry trunks and other baggage up to
$50 pounds free with transportation
and assume responsibility in case Of
loss or damage not exceeding 500.
Under the Cummins act they may as
sumo unlimited liability. The rail-
roads, however, say they cannot as
sumo full liability, but are willing to
assume it up to 800, and offer trav-
eler's insurance on losses above that
figure of 10c hundred, the rate pro-
mulgated by the interstate commerce
commission.
Although the amended law applies
to shippers, it is taken to mean also
that baggage constitutes a shipment.
At any rate the new law means ex-
ira work for the baggage man during
the summer months and travellers
will have to accustom themselves to
figuring quickly the value of their
baggage.
Under the law there is a penalty for
over-estimating as well as under-esti-
mating the value Of ones baggage.

INSPECTOR SCOTT
DECLARES He DID
HIS OFFICIAL DUTY
SAYS THAT CAPT. MERoNEYs
STATEMENT DOES HIM GRAVE
INJUSTICE.
CARCASS OF HORSE WAS EXPOSED
Went to Home of Dark's Mill Farmer
on Complaint OF Neighbors and
Found Law Had Been Grossly VIC
Iated-Was Forced to Act.

Without any idea whatever Of per
scouting Capt. ]. N Meroney, but
purely in line with his official duty,
was the conduct of Sam Scott, deputy
state veterinarian, in having the
Dark's Mill farmer arrested for fall
ure to properly dispose of a dead
horse, declared Mr.. Scott this morn
ing.
Speaking of the matter and Capt.
Meroney's card published few days
ago, Mr.. Scott said: Capt. Meroney
does me grave injustice in his state
men,. / had no sort of idea Of per-
scouting him or any other citizen of
the county. What did in his case
was simply In the plain discharge of
solemn duty as an oflcial. It was,
I assure you, an unpleasant task, but
the Official who does his duty must
often do things that are to him very
disagreeable. It is never a pleasure
to me to report or prosecute any cit
izen for violation Of the laws of the
state.
Capt. Meroney was simply treated
as would have been compelled, un-
der my oath, to treat any other citi-
zen who had violated the law. Nov
these are the facts in this case: Com
plant was made to the Office in
charge of hog cholera eradication
that Capt. Meroney had partially bur
led q dead horse, that portion of the
carcass Of the animal was exposed,
entirely uncovered and that dogs and
buzzards had already been seen
around the carcass. Upon receiving
this information, went to Capt. Nc
roney's place and there found that
the horse had been buried but at the
deepest place had only been covered
with eighteen inches Of dirt. At sew
eral places the dogs had burrowed in
and the carcass was exposed. Now
this, of course, was a plain violation
Of the law. Not only that, the car
cass, exposed as it was to dogs and
buzZards, was a menace to the health
and sanitation of all that portion OF
the county. My duty was plain. 1t
was painful one, but / performed it
without malice or feeling toward
Capt. Meroney. These are the plain
the unvarnished facts and l repeat
that Capt. Meroney has done me a
grave injustice"
