HOW DID OUR RIGHT HAND
RIGHT-0F.WAY ORIGINATE

Everybody gets annoyed at the
human yune-buqs that blunder
along on the left side of the ,Udlk.
Turning TO the right is good
American custom; let's fight for

But can anybody tell where IL
originated?
It's q safe guess that the uni-
versoL EuroDedn left hand turn
started from the ancient tourna-
ments. Uhen the knights passed on
the left so they could stick their
long jdbbed things into their OPP
ponents' qizzdrds.
Our right hand turn has caused
the automobile makers to change

THE MOVIN' PPTURE SHOW.

When the sunset is a-fadin',
An my daily tasks are thru,
An the Whip-poor-will is a-callin
With its strange and weird
"Whoo-oo,"
Then I'm hitchin' up Oh Dobbin
To the blackboard fer to 60
To while away an hour
AT the movin' pi'ture show.
Tho your cares seem like a burden
That you can not carry more,
An your heart Is worry laden,
Touble's knockin' at the door,
Don't despair of joy or laughter
For there's a solace now you
know,
Go while away an hour
At the movin' pi'ture show.
Tho there's other things beguilin'
You're exquisitely serene
As you see the faces smilin'
Down upon you from the screen,
An you feel just like q child again,
An happy fer to know
That you can while away an hour
AT the movin' pi'ture show.

Tobacco Growers
TO Meet THURSDAY

The called meeting for last Thurs
day of the Bamberg county tobacco
growers for the purpose of perfecting
a thorough organization in this in
dustry did not materialize; not be-
cause of lack of interest nor small
attendance, but because the truck
growers meeting lasted so long that
sufficient time was. not left for the
tobacco growers, many of whom, in
fact, practically all of whom are also
truck growers and were on hand for
both meetings. The interest manifest
ed displayed a healthy outlook and
the tobacco meeting will be held &C
cordingly this Thursday afternoon at
three O'Clock in the court house here.
A. NJ. Brabham is temporary chair
man, and S. A. Merchant secretary
and treasurer. This initial meeting
is very important, large attendance
should be on hand, and the entire or
ganization can and will be placed on
a permanent foundation to do a
splendid work.

SHOOTING is APPROVED.
Marine Postal Guard Upheld For Den
mark Affair.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Approval
has been given by the Postoffice De-
partment to the report submitted by
Cary w. Mays, the Marine postal
guard who shot and wounded two
college students near Denmark, S. c.,
last Saturday after they had refused
to leave the train on which he was
stationed. Mays in his report said
that in firing on the two men he was
carrying out the orders he had re-
ceived when assigned to the duty OF
guarding mails. He added that until
the train arrived at the next station
he did not know that the men had
been struck by his shots.
Statements from postal clerks on
the train declared that the men had
been put off several times, but per-
sistently returned and finally install
ed themselves between two mail cars
ignoring warnings to leave.

feebly down the street one day when
he fell in with a burly friend named
George.
"'George,' he said, I'D give any
thing to be strong and healthy as you

"I live on fruit said George.
Fruit, eh?' said Sweeney eagerly.
That sounds good. I'll have to try
it. What kind of fruit, George?'

Tariff Against English Girls.

can, raise enough MOI to pay her
transportation and &c , y the bar
rier she is glad to take a chance on
America. She figures that her chance
of securing husband is about 100
per cent. better than in the home
land. In England the women now
greatly outnumber the men and so
the prospects of securing a mate are
not good. When they reach this
country they begin the pursuit at
once. What do the American dam
sells think of an invasion Of this kind?
First thing we know they will be
asking a prohibitive tariff for pro-
lection against the pauper brides OF
Europe. Same of our home girls ind

Phew!

A local celebrity, whose meanness
was a byword felt obliged to make
present to one of his lady friends on
the occasion of her marriage.
He entered a china store for the
purpose of making a purchase. See
ing a valuable statuette broken in
dozen pieces lying on the counter, he
asked the price. The salesman said
it was worthless, but he could have it
for the cost of packing it in a box.
The mean one directed it to be sent
with his card to the lady, congratu-
lating himself that she would imagine
it was broken while on it's way to her.
He was at her house when the box
arrived, but the effect was hardly
what he had expected. The trades
man had carefully wrapped each
piece in separate piece of paper!

A marriage of much interest To-

Shoots His Cousin and Then
Takes IS Grains of Strychnine

Allendale, Dec. 27.-Earl Tramp
ton, a prominent farmer and popular
young man of this section, was shot
and probably fatally wounded about
two miles from here this afternoon by
his cousin, Lewis Davis. Davis inn
mediately after the shooting took
about Is grains of strychnine and lies
in a desperetae condition here to-
night with doctor in attendance.
There is large possibility Of his re-
covery, local doctors said tonight, as
the period of greatest danger has
passed. His recoverey is considered
remarkable, as the dose taken was
unusually large. Frampton, the
wounded man, was taken to an in
firmary in Charleston. The general
opinion is that the wound will prove
fatal, he being shot through the abb
domen, the ball entering near the left
side and coming out on the front OF
the right side. The weapon used was
.3S calibre automatic.
1t appears that Frampton, who is
first cousin Of Davis, lives in the
home of Davis, together with the lat,
ter's father and two sisters. Davis's
only statement afer the shooting was
that it was due to family troubles.
The family of the wounded man was
so excited that no coherent state
ment could be gained at the home
where the shooting occurred.
A resident of Aitendale happened to
pass the home after the shooting oc-
Cured and coming on into Allenda1e
reported the news to Sheriff Bennett
who Immediately went to the scene OF
the crime with several deputies and
doctor. The wounded man was
rushed to the hospital, and Tramp
ton was found in an upstairs room
with an empty bottle Of strychnine
by his side. He stated that he had
taken the entire bottle of poison and
requested that he be allowed to stay
in the room a few minutes as he be-
lieved he would be dead at the end Of
that time.
He was taken in charge by Sheriff
Bennett, however, and brought to Al.
lendale. He was having convulsions
when he reached here, but after att
tention by a local doctor he appeared
to have slightly recovered and is rest
ing fairly easy tonight.
The father of Frampton made a
statement after the shooting that
Davis had made threats and appear
ed in other ways to be mentally trou-
bled during the past six months, but
that he knew Of no direct motive for
the alleged crime.
