Nine persons were swiped another, derailing coaches for 500 UNUSUAL ADVENTURE OF PATIENT AT HOSPITAL emporary Delirium Brings Face to Face With. Some Unbearable Sights. Him Hickory, N. June 19. A male patient in a local hospital a few nights ago looked closely at the door-knob of his room, turned his gaze to the bed-posts and other articles of furniture, and his worst fears in a temporary delirium were realized.

They had changed into weird forms. The patient, who weighed over 200 pounds, sat bolt upright in bed and resolved to de part at once. The whole neighbor hood was aroused by a series ot in cidents and the town given some thing new to talk about. The actions of this man were natural under the circumstances and the men and women folk in the neighborhood also behaved naturally under the stress of excitement. JStill, to use all the names might seem to be making merry at the expense of good people.

The patient himself is a good farmer. The patient quickly tied sneets and blankets together and with nothing on his person but a short night-shirt descended his improvised ladder from an upper story, dropped to the ground and rolled across the the street. Realizing his position, he banged on the front door of George Killian's and asked to be taken in. The last thing the occupants were ready to do was to open the door, and the escaped patient demanded a pair of pants. The lady of the house threw from the second story window a pair of her husband's palm beach trousers.

Struggling to put them on. the in truder got one leg through part of the way, but his great size checked further progress, and he proceeded to a near-by resident with one leg in and one leg out, and here demanded to be let in. He knew only that he wanted to escape from the demons that threatened him as he lay upon his cot. The defender of this home has tened down stairs at the alarm, and in the confusion of sound and darkness turned towards the kitchen instead of the front door. By some means he upset the kitchen stove, became involved in the intricacies of his wife's china closet and before he could disentangle himself had sent many articles crashing to the floor.

He told inquirers later that in a half-sleep he took the wrong direction and in his eagerness to reach the front part of the house to warn the intruder that his presence was not desired used the great strength of his head and shoulders in breaking china. From this residence the frightened man rushed to another. By this time the whole neighborhood was larmed. J. L.

Cilley, local banker, real names are to be used from now on switched on his porch light and viewed the unwelcome visitor through the glass in the front door. Wreck "of "a Station, at Philadelphia was burned Philadelphia suburb, further injured when one electric train side-' both trains ana tearing up the rails Mr. Cilley noted the short night shirt, the palm beach trousers partly on and realized that the man was in distress, but at 1 o'clock in the morning" did not feel hospitable. Mr. Cilley warned the man, away.

It was not until Mrs. Cilley came down stairs with a pistol that the intruder departed. The lady of this house blandished the weapon in the light, pointing first. at the visitor an(j her husband, and the excitement was too much for the guest. He raced across the lawn, while the banker was glad he did not have the pistol in the first place.

Colin M. Yoder was called over the phone and was watching for the escaped patient. Mr. Yoder recognized him. "Why, he's my old friend," observed Mr.

Yoder, opening his door. The patient was quieted and the hospital authorities, who had been seeking him, were notified. The patient was returned to his room. Recovering his full senses later, the man felt that he had disgraced himself and the institution, and silently departed for his home several miles from Hickory. Charles Warren, a taxi-driver, had seen the escape, and had notified the hospital officials and the police and three officers were in the chase.

But the incidents related occurred so rapidly that Mr. Yoder had taken in and calmed the man a good citizen, too before those seeking him had arrived. S0UL1RT-W Breeding ducks lay more fertile eggs If allowed bathing water in a pond or. email stream. The breeders should be given plenty of pasturage.

i When a hen leaves her nest, or when the temperature of the Incubator gets too high or too low weak chicks will result. A chick that needs to be helped out of the shell Isn't worth saving. A healthy turkey loves to roam anil should be Induced to do so by not being fed too liberally in the nioru ing. When about time for them to come home to roost, have feed, water and grit near thoir roosting pluces. If the chicks are puny, look up the cause at once.

Something Is most surely wrong with their care or an cestry. A record of 20 flocks of scrub hens showed that during 120 winter days they averaged laying one egg apiece each week. This Is an awful record. Turkeys nre seldom sick and should not be continually dosed with nos trums or medicines. If one Is sick In vostlgate and treat according to symptoms.

Columbia, June 19. While thou sand3 of pages of.

news, have been published in thousands of news papers throughout the world, regard ing South Carolina's greatest trag edy," the Cleveland school fire near Camden, which, one month ago last night snuffed out 79 lives, and whije in response tnousanas oi dollars have come into the stricken com munity, as expression of a nation's sympathy and offer of assistance, one of the touching phases of the help offers is contained in the re quests for the privilege of adopting boys and girls, orphaned by terrible disaster. More than one hundred offers of this nature have been received, and in every one there is a heart-throb, and each one is appreciated. More than 50 couples have applied for the adoption of the'nine-months- old Davis boy, brother of Thompson Davis, the lad who lost his parents and two sisters, and who is left with a farm, three younger brothers and young sister. The baby boy, ot nine months, is at the Camden hos pital, where he has been since the Cleveland disaster robbed him of his. parents, and the nurses and officials of the hospital- want to adopt him They propose to wage a hot fight to retain him and they promise to raise him and provide for his lite 8 needs.

Forty-Six Cases. The relief committee in charge of relief activities in the Cleveland dis trict, is acting in a trust capacity for the orphans and widows. There are 46 cases of widows and orphans, besides injured men, and all have been cared for by the permanent relief committee organized in Kershaw county. Regarding the adoption of or the permanent relief commit tee states that it has no legal au thority, and can act only in an advisory capacity. The committee proposes, however, to keep an eye oh the welfare of the' orphaned chil dren, even after they have been taken care of permanently in homes.

Most of the parentless young ones are to be kept in Kershaw county, among friends and relatives. Within the next 30 days the relief committee will publish a statement as to its receipts and disbursements. As yet however no complete and detailed statement has been pre pared, from the committee's books, due to the rush of its work. It is said the funds contributed have totaled more than $40,000 dollars. All of this money is to be used for educating the orphariec children, pro viding for the infirm, who are left dependent on others; and other ex penses.

Thousands of dollars has already been expended for temporary relief, burial costs, hospital and medicine bills, railroad fare for orphans and similar expenses. The committee has worked effec tively and with dispatch, due in large part to the efficient leadership of Mayor Henry G. Garrison, of Camden. The night of the tragedy found him working at the scene of the fire, and he has been at work in connection with the losses ever since. Others who deserve credit for the way they have worked for the relief of the suffering and homeless are Rev.

F. H. Harding, chamber of commerce president: M. N. Heyman, C.

P. E. I. Rear- on, the secretary of the committee; K. Shannon, the auditor; J.

W. Cantey and J. N. McLeod. Committee Incorporated.

The relief committee has been in corporated, and officers elected are as follows: Mayor Garrison, president; Mr. Heyman, vice president; C. P. DuBose, treasurer; Mr. Reardon, secretary; and J.

W. Cantey and J. N. McLeod are the officers. The committee is to be incorporated as the Cleveland School Disaster Relief Committee.

The Camden and Ker shaw county chamber of commerce is to be empowered to fill vacancies. The committee appreciates the work done by the Red Cross during the few days it was at work here. The withdrawal of the Red Cross was with the friendliest of feelings, brought about by the fact that the Red Cross regulations require that all funds be handled by it, whereas the local committee had collected large amounts of money which it felt bound to hold in trust. Under the chartered committee the relief work will be carried forward in the best Possible way, with businesslike efficiency. By Way of Being Conciliatory.

Mr. and Mrs. Tarker, although really fond of each other, had frequent quarrels, owing, no doubt, to infirmities of temper on the part of both. Mr. Tarker was telling his troubles his elderly maiden aunt, "Now I try to be as good a husband to Clarissa as I know how to be, he said, "but we don't seem to get along.

It takes so little to irritate her, and when she starts to scolding, she never knows when to stop. She takes offense, too, at such littw. thimrs." "Then don't say those little thines. Henry," said his aunt. "When she is cross you must try to be conciliatory.

"I am conciliatory. Aunt Jennie," he answered. "I often say to her, 'Clarissa, I know the utter useless-ness of trying to reason with you. hut will you listen to me just a and she gets mad even at that- i GAFFNEY, 5. C.
