TRAGEDIES THICK
, IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Negroes Kill White People In
iLower Carolina. ^
FOUR WHITE MEN ARE SHOT
A Series of Tragedies Take Place in
the Southern Part of South Caroli¬
na—All Happen Independently of
One Another.
Savannah, Ga. ( July 6.—In the lower
part of South Carolina there were
several tragedies during the past two
days. Negroes were quick to shoot
and stab and all escaped arrest.
Hugo S. Egelmltch, a young white
man, was shot and instantly killed by
Dan Finnick, negro, at Moland.
It was stated that Egelmltch and
some other white men were at work
with several negroes. Finnick cursed
one of the younger white men and
Egelmltch is said to have told him that
he could not afford to let a negro run
over him. The next day Egelmltch
met Finnick, and another negro, on
the road near Moland, and Finnick,
without saying a word to him, It is re¬
ported, raised his gun and fired. The
discharge entered Engelmltch's breast
and killed him instantly. -
Charles Harrison, 14 years old, son
of G. M. Harrison, of Beaufort county,
was taken to the Park View sani¬
tarium at noon Thursday. It was
stated at the sanitarium that he can¬
not recover. Young Harrison was shot
by Julian Mortimer, negro, according
to the boy’s father, who with Two
aunts, accompanied him to Savannah.
Young Harrison and tlfe negro went
out In the eorn field to shoot crows,
rain came up and they sought shelter
under a shed. The boy said that
Mortimer told him if he'touched the
negro’s gun he would shoot him. Har¬
rison told his father that he did not
think the negro .was in earnest and
laid his hand on the breech of the
gun which was leaning against Hie
wall. As soon as Charles laid his
hand on the gun, Mortimer grabbed
it and fired. The discharge entered
the boy’s groin at close range. The
father heardj^he shot and was attract¬
ed to the shed by his son’s cries. He
ran out and the negro escaped.
D. Green, a negro, had his throat
cut and was stabbed In the breast and
back several times by Moss Riley,
also a negro, at Lassiter’s mill, near
Purrysburg. Green is expected to
die. Riley escaped in a boat.
About a mile from Hardeesville, a
young son of Lewis Smlthers was shot
by Henry Hodges, a negro. He will
probably recover. •

One of Toole'e I'j-acllr-l Jokei.
The late J. L, Toole, the veteran Eng¬
lish comedian, was a great practical
joker, says the New York Globe. One
of the stories told of him Is .to the ef¬
fect that one evening in London In the
workman's costume which he had been
wearing on the stage he walked to the
west end mansion of a certain pom¬
pous individual for whom be had no
great liking. The footman opened the
door, and to hls rather Impertinent in¬
quiry Mr. Toole replied that he wanted
to see the master of the house. “He’s
out,” said the footman. “Then tell
him when he comes In.” said Toole,
‘that his brother from the workhouse
called to see him." The surprise of the
footman may be Imagined, and the
legend quickly circulated downstairs
and thence throughout the city.

No definite plans have been per¬

THE SUM, I
OLD TALES Rl
The Story of the Little Red Hen Who Would.
■
In the good old oura-uponra-ti me
there was a little red hen who was
very industrious. One day, while
scratching about the bam door, she
found a grain of w heat, and began to
think what could be done with it
Finally, she went about asking,
“Who will plant this grain of
wheat?” The rat said, “I won’t;"
the cat said, “I won’t;” the dog said,
“I won’t;” the duck said, “I won’t;”
and the pig raid, “I won’t.”
Do you think that the little hen
was discouraged? Not at all. She
simply raid, “I will, then,” and pro¬
ceeded to plant it. Then, w'hen the
wheat grew, she asked, “Who will
harvest this wheat?” The rat said,
“I won't;” the rat raid, “I won’t;"
the dog said, “I won’t;” the duck
said, “I won’t;” the pig said, “I
won’t “Very well, then,” said the
little red hen, “I will harvest it my.
self.”
But the task was not over. .Said
the little red hen, “Who will take
this wheat to the mill?” The rat
said, “I won’t;” the rat raid, “1
won’t;” the dog raid, “I won’t;” the
duck said, “I won’t;” the pig said;
“I wont” Whereupon the little red
hen wasted no more words, but went
to the mill alone. When she had the
flour, she raid, “Who will make the
flour into bread?” The rat said, “I
won’t;” the rat raid, “I woh’t;” duck' the
dog said, “I won’t;” the said,
i‘I t;” the pig raid, “l won’t”
“Then I will,” said the tittle red hen.
Ail undisooaraged, she gave the
others a final chance. “Who wllj
Imke this bread?” The rat said, “1
won't;” the cat said, “I won’t;” the
dog raid, “I won’t;” the duck raid,
“X won’t;” the pig said, “I won’t,”
and the little red hen said, “Then,
I will.”
The bread being ready to be eaten,
the hen asked, “Who willl rat this
bread?” The rat raid, “I will;” the
cat raid, “I will;” the dog said, “I

In the good old <

to succeed In business, and 1
great deal of money. There '

industrious and extremely wise. I
asked, “Who, in order to win sure*

one and then another said,
won’t;” but this one wise man said,
“I will."
After awhile, this man’s business
began to grow, and he told the world
about It through the columns of the
newspapers, “Whereupon, not being
selfish, he wished his friends to share
in the prosperity that immediately
came to him. He had more business
than he well knew what to do with.
“See,” he raid, * “what advertising
has done for me; won’t you advertise,
too?” One raid, “I won’t;” another
raid, “I won’t, and still another raid,
“X won’t” Still, the wise man con-
.
tinued to advertise, and still he urged
his friends to enjoy with him thig
rare good thing.
After a time, there came a dull
season, and the business of the town
was not so good as it had been. In
fact, there was business enough tor
only a few, and every bit of it went
to the man who advertised, the man
who was indefatigable In advertising
in season and out of season. The
others felt very discouraged and went
to the wise man tor advice.
