j bis new store liouse burned last Friday.
| He had just finished it, but had not, moved
his goods in, when somehow the fleas got
; possession of the under cover beneath the
floor, and Mr. Dindsey devised a very effec
tive, but as it proved, very expensive way
of exterminating them. He scattered shav
ings all under the house and set them on
fire. The result was the blocks and sills
caught on fire, and while he was whipping
it out on one side the flames were spreading
on the other, and it was not long before the
destructive element got the advantage and
he had to staud off and see the new house
So up in smoke. His tools were all in the
ouse and he did not even save them.

atives. The woman did not return, and the
lieople growing suspicious of foul play, in
stituted search and found her decomposed
body in a gully near Nbw river. Tom bad
fled. Nothing could lie learned of his

At Plain ville Friday two train hands
made a miraculous escape from death.
They were on a north-bound freight train,
which was going at a rapid rate. One of
them, a brakeman, was standing on a car
near the engine, with his face toward the
cab, when the back of his nock struck a
telegraph wire. The jar was so violent that
he was pitched headlong for several feet,
but, fortunately ho, caught onto the
car as ho fell and saved himself t orn falling
under the wheels. The wire broke and with
it come one of the cross pieces on the pile.
These caught around the legs of the other
brakeman, and it looked for awhile as if he
was sure to be pulled off and dashed to the
ground. Ho had from the place where he
was caught to the length of the wire from
the next pole to extricate himself, and just
ns the time came the wire and cross-piece
were loosened.
Judge William O. Pierce died at his home
near Morgan, on August 1, in the 84th
year of his age. Judge Pierce was one of
the oldest nnd original settlers of that sec
tion, moving and settling there in 1834,
licfore the Indians left the country. He was
one of the soldiers actually engaged in the
battle of the Nochaway, near Milford, in
Baker county in 183*1. Ho was born in
Wilkerson county, and married after
he settled in that section. For over
forty years he was postmaster at
Concord and Morgan, resigning that p>si
tion in 1874, when ho was elected to the
Legislature from Calhoun county. He filled
the office of Clerk of the Superior Court
for quite a number of years, and in 1876
retired to private life, living since -then on
his farm near Morgan until tlie day of his
death. Judge Pierce was always a moral
man, anil was for a longtime before lie died
a member of the Methodist church, and lie
ever tried to exert an influence for good in
the community in which be lived.
A most remarkable story that is well
authenticated, comes from Hanks county
concerning the burial of the late Dr. A. D.
Chinault. He died on June IS, of fever,
and was buried June 20, at Winn’s burying
ground, near Lula. After the grave had
been prepared, the corpse carried to it and
all the funeral rites performed the coffin
was lowered in the vault, the grave was
just begun to lie filled, a strange noise was
heard that sounded like music from a harp.
The crowd was considerably agitated, and
a general commotion followed. No one
knew what or where it was. To some it
appeared to be in the grave, and to others
in the trees. There is no doubt nbout there
being a strange noise being heard, one
that will, in all probability never be ex
plainod this side of eternity. Rev. G. H.
Cartledge, who was conducting the funeral
rites, says ho did not hear tho noise, as he is
a little deaf, but noticed the congregation
was excited, and that there wiu something
unusual operating upon the audience. Just
what caused the noise, or what it was, it is
highly probable will never be explained.
Hartwell Sun: Mr. Lewis Shiflet met
with a very narrow escape from death on
Monday evening about dark, lie and fami
ly were sitting around the fireplace. He
got his powder born and flint and steel to
strike a lire. He poured a little powder on
a bunch of cotton and ignited it with the
flint and steel. The cotton was probably a
little damp and didn’t burn quite as fast as
Mr. Shiflet desired, so lie raised his horn
and legal) pouring powdoron the lazy fire.
The consequence was precisely what might
have been expected—the fire flashed up the
stream of powder Into -the horn,
exploding it with a deafen
ing report that could be beard for a mile or
more. The family were blown to the floor
in a pile. Mr. Shiflet was badly- burned on
left inn and slightly on the face. Mrs.
Shiflet was struck on the shoulder and badly
burned and bad a thumb knocked out of
joint. The children received slight injuries,
but fortunately none of the family were
dangerously hurt. It. made all of them sick
for awhile. Mr. Shiflet says he has done
this trick hundreds of times, tint stands
ready to take a pledge to do it never again.
In this connection we would suggest that
matches are cheajier than powder and ure

I luring the present rise in the Escambia
river the ikxxled conditions of tho swamps
are taken advantage of to get out cypress
timber, the men repairing to tho work in
boats, in which they s-tuud while wielding
tho nx. Thursday George Beckham, a young
colored man, was thus employed near Quin
tette, at which place he lived. He had made
a cut, and was presumably preparing to
place himself out of tho way when the tree
fell, crushing him and the boat. Several
companions of his heard the timber fall,
and, not hearing any more cutting shortly
thereafter, went to the spot, where they saw
the bow of the boat sticking up out of the
water and the tree lying across it. They
thought Beckham had gone home, and they
set about extricating the boat. After a
tug or two the head of the unfortunate man
came to tho surface, and thoy realized the
situation, leaving tlie lx>dy where it was

dict in accordance with tho facts here
stated. Beckman is said to have been an

For some time past the family of W. D.
Newell, who lives about three miles from

water they were drinking might be the
cause of the trouble, Mr. Newell had his
well cleaned out, when there was brought
to the surface a package carefully tied up
and containing certain substances which a
physician pronounced as poisonous. Mr.
Newell thinks there is ml doubt that this
package was placed in his well by some
malicious person with a view to exterminat
ing tho whole family, but who it was that
committed such a diabolical net has not, yet
been discovered. Since tho removal of the
package tlie whole family have recovered,
and Mr. Nowell has taken steps to prevent
a recurrence of this dastardly outrage by
placing bis well under lock and key.
A sensation was created Monday nftor
noon by a family of five lieing nearly
drowned trying to cross the crook in Fort
Pickens. Moses Bell,f a colored man, was
returning from Hodges to his home in
Lowndesville, nnd although the water was
so wide, he thought it best to cross and get
to town before it rained harder. When he
reached the middle of the stream the cur
rent was too swift for the mules and tlio
wagon was turned clear around. Mose cut
the harness and then tried to swim out with
his little girl, but both went under several
times. Tlio child caught on a limb nnd bold
on until assistance came. The father after
being carried almost to the culvert in f lic
railroad track, caught to a tree and pulled
himself to higher land, but even then ho
was in water up to his neck. By this time
a large crowd of people hail collected on tlio
track, consisting of negroes, but no one
seemed willing to venture in. J. S. Ham
mond and J. C. Douglass, rescued tho sink
ing parties by swimming in for them, and
deserve a great deal of credit. If they had
not, been there the poor people would have
drowned.
The prospects of the rice crop in other
places in South Carolina arc in vivid and
encouraging contrast with the doomed Sa
vannah river crop. A representative of tho
firm of Messrs. William C. Bee & Cos., fur
nished a number of reports from most of the
planting sections of the State. On Coinba
hee river the crop is considered good. There
has been some trouble on account of the
salt water overflow, but the harvest fresh
water is now on the crop and no ill results
ayp anticipated. On tlie river it is estima
ted that the crop will be a little
short. On the Santee river the
crops are reported very good. It is just
possible that the freshets from tlie up-coun
try may do some injury yet, but there are
favorable chances of escape. From George
town the accounts are encouraging. On
Rantowle’s creek the crops have suffered se
verely for want of water, which has been
caused by Can- Caw swamp, the great water
reservoir for this section, being dry during
tlie greater part of the season. Tlio rice
traile of Charleston will, therefore, be ef
fected only to the extent of half the losses
on the Savannah river, as the other half
usually gc >es to the Savannah market.
Roek Hill Herald: The baby exhibition,
which had been looked forward to with great
deal of expectancy by many of the mothers
of tho community, was held on Tuesday af
ternoon and was the event of the season.
The show was well patronized by tlie babies
of the town and vicinity, and every little
heart seemed to enjoy tho novel sport. Each
child was labelled and the voting was by
number instead of name. The competition
was spirited at times and the result was the
gathering in of a considerable amount of
cash. In tlie infant’s department little
Lillian, the 8-months-nld daughter of Mr.
Thomas Flowers, received the greatest
number of votes, and was awarded
the prize, and in tho department for
children above 1 and under 5 years,
Mamie, daughter of Mr. J. F. Reid, received
more votes than either of her competitors
and was awarded the prize. The show was
well attended and was highly enjoyed. It
did not break up in a free tight between the
mothers, as was confidently expected, but
was just as nice and orderly as could lie de
sired. It is true that each mother thought
her own bright, particular “dumplin doo
dle” was the “cutest” and far outshone all
the others and of course would carry off
the prize, but they yielded to the verdict
against them with surprising equanimity,
which showed tho heroism or the mothers
of our children under such trying circum
stances. God bless tho mothers! “The
hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that
rules tho world” —and empties the pocket
book.
Now You See it and Now You Don’t.
From the Chicago Tribune.
In an Illinois city within fifty miles from
, Chicago there is a hotel where the service
at table is notoriously bad. It can bo im
proved by the use of tips to waiters, and
guests of the house know it. A drummer
was telling the other night how ho got a sat
isfactory dinner at the hotel. There is some
thing familiar about the story, but it is good
enough to tell. The drummer sat down at
the table and managed to got a wai
ter.
“Pete,’' said be, taking a big silver dollar
from his pocket, and putting it under a
goblet turned upside down, “do you see
that I"
“Yes, sah,” said Pete, affably. “I sees
it.”
“Well, now, you hurry around and get
me just as good a dinner as you know how
and don’t keep me waiting.”
Better service than the drummer had
