you'll soon ruin your paper, :"
said a man on the street the
other day after he had read
about the earthquake curing a

risk of running this rag we shall
tell this little story, which Mr..
Anderson declares is the honest
truth, just as the other one was:
DR.. Waddell, who, as stated
last week, lived several miles
down Black creek, owned an
old fashioned clock that had be
longed to his father. 1t had ap-
parently served out ITS allotted
period of service and it refused
to keep time any more. The
old doctor thought he would try
to have it repaired as it was a
treasured relic of days gone by.
But before he could get it fixed
that same Charleston earthquake
came and shook the old clock
into action, and from that time
until the doctor moved away
the clock ran without giving
any more trouble.

Dropped Him In the Branch

A good story is told by MIR. H.
V. Mungo about a nigger who
lived at Kershaw several years
ago while Mr.. Mungo was there.
This nigger went up to the
famous negro camp ground near
Heath Springs to attend big
meeting. While there, so the
story goes, he saw a big nigger
lying flat on his back asleep.
This looked like opportunity to
have some fun. so he stepped be-
tween the bucks legs and made
toward the branch With him
stern foremost at a moderate
gait. The nigger who was be-
ing dragged didn't sleep much
longer, and he soon drew forth
a 44-caliber shooting pistol and
discharged the thing at his tor
mentor TO the utter surprise of
the rascal doing the horse stunt.
This nigger said he thought he
was running before the young
cannon fired, but he then so far
outclassed anything he had done
before that the former gait seem
ed no more than a snail'S pace.
He said he was SO badly scared
that he couldn't turn loose the
dangling man behind, but he no
longer had time to pick his road,
and from there to the canal the
helpless nigger was allowed 10
strike only the high places. The
ditch or canal was about six feel
wide and four or five deep, it is
said. The running niger had
up such speed that he was able
10 Jump TO the other bank, bul
he dropped his cargo into the
stream.
He had had his fup, which
wasn't very iIany. and after
firing his old Owl Head few
times from pearbyj bushes he
prepared to journey back tc
