FRANK SHEALY QUITS CIGARS.

Lexington, April : 22.-It's no
more cigars for Hon. Frank W.
Shealy, the popular chairman Of the
South Carolina Railway Commission.
Hereafter-or at any rate for a
good many days to come-Frank
Shealy is either going to smoke an
old cob pipe or cigarette when he
smokes at all. The chairman Of the
railway commission is a staunch be-
lever in the movement to lower the
high cost of living, but this is not al
together the reason for his cutting
out cigars.
It came about this way: A day or
two ago, Mr.. Shealy purchased a
cigar made, by we'll known Tampa,
Fla, manufacturer from well
known local dealer. in Lexington for
his after-dinner smoke. For few
minutes everything went we'll, says
Mr.. Shealy; but the next second,
just as the poular official was taking
a strong pull, there was a mighty ex-
plosion, followed by scream on the
other side of the room, and when
Mr.. Shealy came to his senses he was
minus cigar. The cigar was "load
ed" with a 20 calliber rifle bullet
and the little missile had struck the
maid on the other side of the room
barely missing Mrs. Shealy, who was
sitting near her husband.
The negro girl, however, was not
injured to any appreciable extent
Neighbors rushed into the Shealy
home upon hearing the report of the
cartridge.
Had the incident occurred a couple
of years ago when the grea t world
war was on,there would not have
been anything said about it, said Mr..
1Shealy, but the war is over now, and
it is time for such things as loading
cigars with bullets to cease.
Mr.. Shealy reported the occurance
to the man from whom he purchased
