Owing to the bad weather we were
not on hand at Crim's barbecue, but
those who did go from the Village,
brought back such accounts of the
dinner as made us feel that we had
been fasting forty days and nights.
Owing to the bad day the crowd was
smaller than vas expected. The
candidates, however, were out in
pretty good force. Speeches were
made by Majs. Meetze and Leaphart,
Drs. Muller and Brooker, Col. Jno. +.
Hobbs, and Messrs. Schoenberg and
Kyzer. General Quattlebaum intro
duced the speakers and also made q
happy little speech himself.
Mr.. ". Gilman Beck, Of Columbia,
committed suicide yesterday, by
shooting himself through the head
with q pistol. About 10A o'clock he
was sitting in the room of Mrs. c. E.
Beck, his sister-in law. He got up
and walked towards the door. Mrs.
Beck noticed that he had q pistol in
his hand and asked him what he was
going to do, and jumped up and ran
towards him, but before she could get
to him, he had fred it off. blowing a
hole through his head. The ball
entered between one and two inches
above the right ear. Mr.. Beck was
addicted to occasional hard drinking,
and his rash act yesterday is no doubt
attributable to a nervous condition
caused by excessive dissipation in
which he had been INDUCING for sew
eral days. He was employed as a
salesman in the clothing house of AIr.
