SherlfT Ashley is expected to ro

illuming where ho wont Friday to
bring buck to South ('?trollna Steve

tack on a young woman of tho upper
meldon of tiie county. ou Tuesday

rested a negro of lesley's descrip
tion on Thursduy night, but Sherm
At'hloy Ashley was not notified until
ycBtcrdav morning about 8 o'clock.
(?apt. Carl McConnell uud Supervisor
King wont to Salisbury with Sheriff
Ashley.
Ou Tluursduy uttcrnoon Sheriff Ash
ley had inforr -\tlon which led him to
betievo that t-asloy had board?d a
no rt lili o m. train nt Paris, a station
Just beyond Greenville, and ho had
nt onco notified the polico in Salis
bury, giving a full and complete de
scription of him. The negro was
found aboard So. 12. tho train which
leaves Greenville a' 1;GQ in tho af
ternoon going north.
It seems that thero is no doubt
about tho negro arrested being Les
loy. Ho answers tho minute do
Hcription given b ythc sheriff, and
diad a red striped shirt wrapped in
u bundle, and lt is said that ho hud
on this kind of shirt when the at
tack on tho young woman was mado.
He denies that ho is the negro want
od, and claims that ho was travoling
with a carnival company.
lt ?B hardly probablo that Sheriff
Ashloy will take tho negro to Colum

on 'Monday morning and this . will
doubtless be ono of tho first oases to

FIRE UTE YESTERDAY
MR. HAMMETT SUFFERED
LOSS-AUTOMOBILE
WAS SAVED
A LARGE BUILDING
And Burned Very Rapidly-Fire
men Were on Thc Scene
in a Short Time
Fire yesterday afternoon shortly
after 0 o'clock destroyed the large
barn of Mr. Jas. D. Hammett on
West Wuitner street. The building
was a large one, having two stories
Thero was room for five vehicles, six
head of stock, a feed room and a big
loft , in the building. Insurance lo
tho amount of $22*? was carried
tho building, tho cost of which wab
probably $ti<<0.
Tho origin of thu fire Is unknown.
It was first discovered by a negro
man who was In the yard cleaning
Mr. Hammett's big Packard automo
bile, which luckily wa? not in the |
Lani. Tho "barn was built several
years ugo and contained a great deal
of heart pino lumber. Tho fire was I
very spectacular hecauso of this |
fact. Some grass behind the barn
caught fire, but this was soon ex
tinguished. '
Mr. Hammett: staled last night
that bo appreciated the promptnee
of tho flromen in answering the al
arm. Ho staled that th ry were on
the scene almost as soon as called,
and that it was no fault of theirs
that tho building was burned. Thc
barn being dry, it was developed in
fiamos in a very short time after]
discovered'.

+ A IttTIUEU Pit A ITITI U .NEU ?tr,
+ - ?
* (L'y A. 1). ?
About a hundred years ago, before
the doctors made the discovery tint
hidden away In thc anatomy of each
one of us was a perfectly good little,
appendix; and bofore we were aware
that we grew such things as tonsils,
' or adenoids*; before a ?eparato ge~m
I was dedicated to every pain and ache,
tho doctors of those far-away days
indulged in another fad-thc fad of
"bleeding." By some strange hallu
cination tiley wero lcd to believe that
every man, woman and child of IIB
bad more blood to our /eins than
nature intended, and tba', their mis
sion in lifo was to help us get rid
of it.
If anything wont wrong, from u
sore throat, to a case of smallpox it
plainly showed that we needed to b:;
bled. No matter what the symptomn
might bo a vein was promptly open
ed, and a diagnosis made afterwards.
If a case of fever failed to respond
to the fin-1, treatment the patient was
bled, again and again, until he took
on the appearance of a tallow candle
with eywri. The regular ?lam] by a ol
tito good old knight of tho saddle
bags was a pound of "bine mass" and
an un Illili.'cd supply of leeches. It
these two remedies failed tho out
look for the patient was blue indeed
When a sick person was to bo bled
a big lusty leech was selected, and
removed from tho water at least an
hour before the "operation" was due;
Ulis was done to make the leech
more voracious, and more willing to
"fasten on." As soon as thc animal
was applied, If lt was a good leach,
it immediately sunk it's titree i/harp
toctli lu thc skin, arranged it's lips
iu the shape of a cupping . glSSJ
around the wound lt had made, and
went to bumping with all lt's might.
As soon as lt's (machinery got lo
weakling lt's bodtf began to swell,
and ns It become gorged with the pa
tient's lifo blood lt usually had thc
good taste to drop off of it's own voli
tion. Bu*, sometimes it refused to
let go and had to be induced to get
up from tho table by main force. Thia
was attended by considerable dang
ed to the patient as thc leech was
apt to leave lt's teonth In tuc wound,
which often caused severe inflamn
tion of the parts affected. Blood
poisoning, it would bo called now
adays. The old books gave many min
ute directions as to how leechet
should bo removed, etc. One bf thc
suggestion's was: "It tho animal wai
slow in fastcuing, to rub tho parti
with milk, or with t?uga,- mixed witl:
water;" another suggested that "Il
the leech was to be used again, tc
sprinkle it plentlously with salt, ai
that would cauee lt ito disgorge th<
blood lt had swallowed."
But all this har changed, nm' thc
leech os a medical assistant, hat
passed away along with tho spinninr
wheol ,wool socks, -home-made can
dies and pantalets. One' strang",
thing about the leech ls, that alnci
hui value In medicine has gone belov
par, his numbers have greatly . de
creased In many sections at least.
When che old men of today wen
boys, e/ery pond, lagoon or run wai
fairly se aming with these fresh wa
ter va. , ~s. After an. hour or so
lu the uki swimming hole, on comtni
out, it wat?' necessary to take a stiel
and carefully serape them off. Tie
boys 'used to keep a nicely whit tie i
paddle-liko arrangement in a fork o
the willow for that special purpose.
There aro a great many .difieren
kinds of leeches, but only one, th
Brown Leech, was found to be de
pendable In tho actual practice o
medicine. The Horse Leech was ver
much larger, but he- was too difflden
-too unwilling to perform in publU
to make a. successful practitioner
Tho Snail Leech was nm oh too MU a'
to bo of any great service;:'and as an
old writer naively remarked: "lt. I
not large enough to . extract a sufG
dont quantity of blood from tho pa
tient." Tho Brown Leech has til
general shape of a worm, and 1
about as long as ono's middle fingoi
but it has tho strange power of cou
trading, . when taken out of tho wc
ter until it is no mora than an inc
in length. It's color above, ia a Tic
chocolate brown, almost-black; an
below, it ls a yellowish red, sprinkle
with spots of bright orango. On eac
side ot tho body, a yellow Uno divide
the ?upper, from the lower parts. Tl
mott remarkable thing about til!
creature ls it's mouth; . lt has tv.
Ups, that aro capable of taking an
shape that is most convenient.* 2j
rest the opening ts usually trlangi

STATE INSPECTION j
OF LOCAL MILITIA
WILL BE MADE ON TUESDAY
MAY 23, BY ADJT. GEN.
W. W. MOORE
A RIFLE RANGE
Is Very Necessary and Site Has
Been Chosen-Col. E. M.
Blythe to Be Visitor
On Tuesday, May 2Urd. thu annual
inspection ot Company B. First In
fantry, locally known aa the Palmet
to Riflemen, will take place. This
inspection is made for tho state by
tho adjuatant genoral, W. W. Moore
Tho Inspection for the United States
has already been mude by Captain J.
Malcom Graham. On the results of
th's Inh'pectioa depends tho amount
of money each company will receive
?from thc state appropriation made
by tho lust sessiou of thc statu leg
islature.
Tho adjutant general inspects the
condition of the property and thc
completeness of tho records. All
property short or in bad condition
must be properly accounted for or
the respondi?lo olflcers will have to
pay for it.
The company ls working hard for
this inspection and in preparation for
tho annual encampment that will
probably bo held some timo in July.
On next Thursday evening che re
gimental commander, Col. E. M.
Blythe of Greenville will bo with the
company, he will be accompanied by
Captain B. B. Gossett, A. I. S. A.
P. At this mooting stress will bo
laid on the drill necessary as a pre
liminary to shooting on tho range.
Great credit is glvon by tho United
States war department to those com
panied that show the greatest knowl
edge of Ute rifle and who are profi
cient on the range.
The officers of the company arc
working to secure a proper range for
rifle shooting and the matter Is so
far advanced that only tho approval
of tlio division of militia affairs of
tho war department, of the sight se
lected is now wanting before work
will be started placing tho sight in
proper condition for rifle practice.
A sight has been secured on the plan
tation of Mr. P. W. Major and at an
early date will be prepared for tho
range work. Target pits have to be
dug and a small house built for the
men and for any storage necessary
on tho premises. Specification for
the house are boing prepared and tho
local lumber men will bo asked to
filo bida on tho construction of the
house.
,A proper rango is lndespensiblo for
the pruner instruction of a company
now as so much stress is laid by the
war department on target practice.
