A Future Millionaire..Assemblyman Brennan, author of the Brennan cold storage law,> was talking in Albany about a delStfer who objected to the labeling of cold storage products, says the St. Louis Republic. "This man's objection to the words 'cold storage' on cold storage goods," said Mr. Brennan, "recall vividly tc my mind an Ithaca boy. "The boy had gone in for chicken raising and had dene well. He possessed an egg-dating stamp. You could always tell, when you bought an egg from him, whether it would be best to eat it soft boiled or to use it as a political missile. "But the football season came on, eggs got high and scarce, and the boy began to waver in his virtue. "And one day while he was still wavering, he found under a hedge a whole nestful of eggs. He took them home and showed them to his mother, " 'I don't know what to date them,' he said doubtfully. "Well, break one,' said his mother, 'That will give you some idea of their date.' "So the boy broke one of the eggs, and the odor was as though a sewer had burst. " 'Let's see,' said his mother. 'This is November 10. Date them November 10. 1910.' "But the boy, as he got out his eggdating machine answered: "No; they might have been laid in 1909 or' even in 1908. I'll just date them November 10, without this year, Then I'll be misleading nobody.'"

The boy is well grown, aged 15, and he, with a companion, had Just killed a rabbit j and he had -set the gun down at his feet with the muzzle pointing upward and against his chest. Just then his Ana noma, oinnv and Inmned UDOn him and it is supposed that the dog , struck the hammer of the gun with his claws a sufficiently hard blow to ? j cause the gun to discharge its load in- ( to his chest. Fortunately only a very , few shot penetrated the chest. Al- ( most the entire load went through the . larger muscle, tearing it away. Sur- { gical aid was summoned and the boy , was given every attention possible.

Chester Reporter, December 1: Cor- t oner Ehrlich held an inquest Tuesday over the remains of Knox Chalk, col- t ored, who was shot in a melee at the f home of William Sanders in the Low- ( | ryvllle neighborhood about ten days j ago, and found that Chalk came to his j death from a gunshot wound at the j hands of Ambrose Reid. The shoot- j ing, it seems, happened at the home r of Sanders, where a prayer meeting r sendee was being held, and must have been general, as Sonny Fowler shot j Jim Addison at the same time. Addi- t son's wound, however, was on the T hand, and was not at all serious. Reid, j. who is charged with killing Chalk, fled r after the shooting, and is still at large. t Chalk, the negro killed, was a York county negro, but the difficulty in which he met his death occurred in Chester county Mr. J. A. Shedd, an aged resident of the Lowryville neighborhood, died Tuesday afternoon and was burled at Armenia, after funeral services by Rev. J. H. Yarbor ough. Mr. Shedd was 77 years of age and Is survived by two sons Walter Attles and Melvin Rosborough, two colored youths whose names are somewhat familiar in police court proceedings, forged an order for a Jug of liquor yesterday, and made use of Will Douglas, an apparently Innocent and ignorant negro from the country, to get the liquor out of the express ofi flee. The ruse worked successfully, and the next move of the two was to transfer the liquor to an appointed place where it was put up in bottles. The police captured Attles and a number of these bottles, but Roseborough managed to make his escape with part of the liquor, and is still at large. Rock Hill Record, December 1: Mr. J. J. Thomas, who for the past fourteen years has been running the Independent dairy for Congressman Finley, has given up that work and will take charge of Mr. V. B. McFadden's place, west of the city. Mr. Thomas has moved into the cottage formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Mci Fadderf. Mr. Harry Miller of the Bethel section of the county, has taken Mr. Thomas's place with Mr. Finley Mrs. A.

W. Ferguson of this city, was accidentally shot yesterday morning on the Clarence Cross planJ tation, about two miles from town, by one of a party of five negro rabbit hunters. Young Ferguson left the city yesterday morning early with his father and Mr. Bill Jones for a day's outing to spend in hunting. They came to a spring: and Lawrence naci just finished taking a drink of water when the rabbit dogs, which were rambling around in the hollow, flushed a covey t of birds. As Lawrence straightened himself up the report of a gun was heard and in the twinkling of an eye : a dozen or more of No. 8 shot had peni etrated the back part of his head. Five or six of the dozen or more shot ' were removed. One of the shot, the only one it is thought will give any trouble, entered the boy's face just below the eye Wednesday morning ! while unpacking a box of gold-headed i parasols, Mr. L. A. Wise found in the waste paper, which held the package in place, a five dollar bill and a one : dollar bill. At first sight he thought ) it counterfeit, but upon examination he discovered it was the real "long e green." CHIMES OF ST. MICHAEL. i Have Crossed the Ocean No Less Than Five Times. The old world boasts of many fat mous bells and chimes, to which clings t the association of romance and po- etry, but of all the bells In the world none, perhaps, have had a more adventurous career than those of St. * Michael's, at Charleston, S. C. The 1 well-authenticated story of this famous peal shows that the bells com posing it have crossed the ocean no less than five times.once as a heap " of twisted metal. c The St. Michael bells were cast in England some time before our revo- lutlonary war and brought to thla'c country. When war against the oid ^ country began the Charleston peal was 0 sent back to England, so that it might u not be injured. When the war was h concluded the Charlestonians clam- c a ored for their bells, and it became the n duty of our first minister to the court p of St. James to see that they were ' returned. His negotiations were sue- 8 cessful, and the bells were, with much p ceremony, reinstalled in the church. f< The next adventure came with the f< civil war, when the steeple of St. t< Michael's was made a target for the fi guns of the besiegers. The bells were E removed for safety to Columbia, but " when the army of Sherman occupied n " J- 1- -J \ tnat town, me sntus ill uic yaiu ui the state house wherein the bells had b been stored were broken into, and the o bells smashed into fragments sheds being fired. t< The bells were not, however, com- t; pletely "done for." At the close of h the civil war the pieces were carefully w gathered and shipped to Liverpool, to- b gether with directions with how they c: should be recast, the specifications 81 being taken from the records of St. ri Michael's, which showed where the b bells had been cast and the proportions. 81 It was found that the firm of beil- n founders which had cast the bells in a the first place was still in existence, j f< consisting of descendants of the or.g- n inal firm. The records of this firmju showed that the proportions of the b casting coresponded with those of n record at St. Michael's; and so, under ' these circumstances the recasting of e the bells was not so difficult a mat- J P ter. Accordingly, for the fifth time, I they crossed the ocean and were set h up at Charleston..Philadelphia Rec3rd. C A BASIS FOR CREDIT. The Potential Power of Cotton in Finance. The American people are afraid of i central bank or of any central flnan- ft :lal control, because they believe, whether with or without good reason counts for nothing, that it would be used in the Interest of Wall street md the great capitalists and against v :he smaller financial Institutions and :he country generally.* n For this reason a widespread influence wielded by the masses of the peo?le will be used in congress to present the adoption of any central sys- n :em that would avail to avert flnan;ial panics, and for some time to come :hey must be expected to recur as :hey have done in the past, strewing ^ :he country with financial wrecks. But the south has in its cotton crop he material for the establishing, both ^ it home and abroad, of the basis of a K :redit that would always bring money ft 'rom England and France, even when E t could not be got on any terms at Uew York, and so even when a com- f( >lete dearth of money shut up all < torthern sources of supply the busi- h less of the south need not suffer.

We have become so entirely deendent on New York to handle our >relgn exchange and get our money ir us that we would scarcely venture > walk in such a manner alone, freed rom the surveillance of a wet nurse, lut, without doubt, the south has in ts own hajids the means of comlanding a money supply when all the lew York banks are closed and their usines customers are forced to live n clearing house certificates. In its cotton the south has the majrial basis of independence in an arIcle wanted as a necessary of life i every commercial country in the wld, always sold for cash, and capalo of furnlshlnc ft hllllnri dollars of redit. What is required is to find ome means of using it in such a diect and unfailing way that it will ring cash by steamship or wire. No other country on the globe has uch an advantage, and the only other ation that even remotely possesses like resource is Brazil, with its cof;e. What is most desirable for us is ot to create a combination to keep p the price of cotton, but a system y which we can immediately, at eed, convert our solid cotton credit lto fluid credit for cash in a serious mergency like that of a financial anic.

In other words, if the brick were set on edge or the flue was terra cotta or metal, the charge would apply. The reason for the charge Is that by reasdn of their experience the companies KNOW that many flres originate from defective stove flues, and all flues are defective except the kind for which there ts no extra charge. Originally the rule did not apply to towns that had adequate Are protection, but It does now, and recently practically all the dwellings in Yorkville have been rated, and when there is a defective flue the rate is advanced 15 cents on the 1100, which means that $1,000 insurance will cost $3.00 more for three year periods than formerly. I suggest that all my clients in Yorkville examine their flues and if not found standard that they have them changed at once. The advance does not apply to policies already In force, but will apply when policy expires. I shall be pleased to Inform any property owner who may inquire whether or not his or her stove flue s as It should be. The extra charge in towns without fire protection and In the country Is 25 cents the $100, or $2 50 the $1,000 for one year, or $5.00 for three year periods 8AM M. GRIST, All Kinds of Good Insurance.

A Future Millionaire..AssemblymanBrennan, author of the Brennancold storage law,> was talking in Albanyabout a delStfer who objected tothe labeling of cold storage products,says the St. Louis Republic."This man's objection to the words

'cold storage' on cold storage goods,"said Mr. Brennan, "recall vividly tc

my mind an Ithaca boy."The boy had gone in for chicken

raising and had dene well. He possessedan egg-dating stamp. Youcould always tell, when you bought an

egg from him, whether it would bebest to eat it soft boiled or to use it asa political missile."But the football season came on,

eggs got high and scarce, and the boybegan to waver in his virtue."And one day while he was still

wavering, he found under a hedge a

whole nestful of eggs. He took themhome and showed them to his mother,

" 'I don't know what to date them,'he said doubtfully.

"Well, break one,' said his mother,'That will give you some idea of theirdate.'"So the boy broke one of the eggs,

and the odor was as though a sewer

had burst." 'Let's see,' said his mother. 'This

is November 10. Date them November10. 1910.'"But the boy, as he got out his eggdatingmachine answered:"No; they might have been laid in

1909 or' even in 1908. I'll just datethem November 10, without this year,Then I'll be misleading nobody.'"

They Were Spotted.."We Americans.thoseof us, that is, who don'tbuy our clothes in London.are recognizedabroad by our coats, broadshoulders and baggy backs, by out

trousers' width and by the little humpson the caps of our boots."The speaker, Richard Harding Davis,was lunching at the BellevueStratford,in Philadelphia. With a

laugh, he resumed:"Two American men, as they strolledamong the tall, thin Englishmen

and English women in Piccadilly om

morning, perceived that everyone recognizedtheir nationality." 'I wonder,' said the first, 'how they

know we're Americans?'"The other, more sophisticated, answered:" 'Rv thp TTniteri States of our cloth-

his claws a sufficiently hard blow to ?

jcause the gun to discharge its load in- (

to his chest. Fortunately only a very ,

few shot penetrated the chest. Al- (

most the entire load went through the

Chester Reporter, December 1: Cor- toner Ehrlich held an inquest Tuesdayover the remains of Knox Chalk, col- t

ored, who was shot in a melee at the f

home of William Sanders in the Low- (

| ryvllle neighborhood about ten days j

ago, and found that Chalk came to his jdeath from a gunshot wound at the jhands of Ambrose Reid. The shoot- jing, it seems, happened at the home r

of Sanders, where a prayer meeting r

sendee was being held, and must havebeen general, as Sonny Fowler shot jJim Addison at the same time. Addi- tson's wound, however, was on the T

hand, and was not at all serious. Reid, j.who is charged with killing Chalk, fled r

after the shooting, and is still at large. t

Chalk, the negro killed, was a Yorkcounty negro, but the difficulty inwhich he met his death occurred inChester county Mr. J. A. Shedd,an aged resident of the Lowryvilleneighborhood, died Tuesday afternoonand was burled at Armenia, afterfuneral services by Rev. J. H. Yarbor

proceedings, forged an order for a Jugof liquor yesterday, and made use ofWill Douglas, an apparently Innocentand ignorant negro from the country,to get the liquor out of the express ofiflee. The ruse worked successfully,and the next move of the two was to

transfer the liquor to an appointedplace where it was put up in bottles.The police captured Attles and a

number of these bottles, but Roseboroughmanaged to make his escape withpart of the liquor, and is still at large.Rock Hill Record, December 1: Mr.

CHIMES OF ST. MICHAEL.i

Have Crossed the Ocean No Less ThanFive Times.

The old world boasts of many fatmous bells and chimes, to which clingst the association of romance and po-

etry, but of all the bells In the worldnone, perhaps, have had a more adventurouscareer than those of St.

* Michael's, at Charleston, S. C. The1 well-authenticated story of this famouspeal shows that the bells com

posing it have crossed the ocean no

less than five times.once as a heap" of twisted metal.c The St. Michael bells were cast inEngland some time before our revo-

lutlonary war and brought to thla'ccountry. When war against the oid ^

country began the Charleston peal was0

sent back to England, so that it might u

not be injured. When the war was h

concluded the Charlestonians clam- ca

ored for their bells, and it became the n

duty of our first minister to the court pof St. James to see that they were '

returned. His negotiations were sue-8

cessful, and the bells were, with much pceremony, reinstalled in the church. f<The next adventure came with the f<

civil war, when the steeple of St. t<

Michael's was made a target for the figuns of the besiegers. The bells were Eremoved for safety to Columbia, but "when the army of Sherman occupied n

the state house wherein the bells had bbeen stored were broken into, and the o

bells smashed into fragments shedsbeing fired. t<The bells were not, however, com- t;

pletely "done for." At the close of hthe civil war the pieces were carefully w

gathered and shipped to Liverpool, to- b

gether with directions with how they c:

should be recast, the specifications 81

being taken from the records of St. ri

Michael's, which showed where the bbells had been cast and the proportions.81

It was found that the firm of beil- n

founders which had cast the bells in a

the first place was still in existence, j f<consisting of descendants of the or.g- n

inal firm. The records of this firmjushowed that the proportions of the bcasting coresponded with those of n

record at St. Michael's; and so, under '

these circumstances the recasting of e

the bells was not so difficult a mat- J Pter. Accordingly, for the fifth time, Ithey crossed the ocean and were set hup at Charleston..Philadelphia Rec3rd.C

A BASIS FOR CREDIT.

The Potential Power of Cotton inFinance.

The American people are afraid ofi central bank or of any central flnan- ft:lal control, because they believe,whether with or without good reason

counts for nothing, that it would beused in the Interest of Wall streetmd the great capitalists and against v:he smaller financial Institutions and:he country generally.* n

For this reason a widespread influencewielded by the masses of the peo?lewill be used in congress to presentthe adoption of any central sys- n

he material for the establishing, both^

To My Clients inYorkville

About one year ago I took the painsand went to the expense of advisingevery owner of a dwelling who readsThe Enquirer that all the fire insurancecompanies would In future makean extra charge In dwelling rateswhere all stove (lues were not builtsuspended on Iron stirrups and thebrick laid FLAT from bottom to top.and the ilue or flues plastered Inside.In other words, if the brick were seton edge or the flue was terra cottaor metal, the charge would apply.The reason for the charge Is that byreasdn of their experience the companiesKNOW that many flres originatefrom defective stove flues, andall flues are defective except the kindfor which there ts no extra charge.Originally the rule did not apply totowns that had adequate Are protection,but It does now, and recentlypractically all the dwellings in Yorkvillehave been rated, and when thereis a defective flue the rate is advanced15 cents on the 1100, which meansthat $1,000 insurance will cost $3.00more for three year periods than formerly.I suggest that all my clientsin Yorkville examine their flues andif not found standard that they havethem changed at once. The advancedoes not apply to policies already Inforce, but will apply when policy expires.I shall be pleased to Informany property owner who may inquirewhether or not his or her stove flues as It should be. The extra chargein towns without fire protection andIn the country Is 25 cents the $100, or$2 50 the $1,000 for one year, or$5.00 for three year periods
