Every good citizen should take de-

unclean place should be found in all
the town limits. Aud in this connec-
ton We suggest that no stiuk-holr, or
cess-pool, or mess of filth be permit
ed to remain undisturbed for a single
thour. Not only should all the
alleys be cl, aned, all the vaults clean
ed and lined, but that stencil and
nuisance-worse than any vault-oc-
casioned by piling beer-kegs in front

will perhaps call attention to it occa-
sionally, to show how the work pro-
crosses.

not be grieved unto tears because of the
fact. While the great body of those at

their physical and mental powers to occa-

A SOUTHERN TRAGEDY.
A Jealous Major Who Murdered the Belle
of the Bail and Then Fled.

SUMTER, s. c., JAN L-Grief has extinguished
the holiday festivities of Sumter The belle of
the town, beautiful girl, who has been almost
worshiped by everybody who knew her, has
been murdered in Orangeburg by Major Hender-
son, who killed her in pang of jealousy and
then fed. A dull pain has succeeded the first
impulses and the people are wondering how
anybody could have killed such a charming
woman.
Miss Minnie Weeks, the dead girl, went to
visit relatives in Orangeburg over the holidays.
Her friends gave ball in her honor in the vii
lage hall. Among the invited guests was Major
Henderson, prominent gentleman who holds a
fine position in the Cornelson cotton factory. He
was deeply in love with Miss Weeks, but if the
love was reciprocated it can never be known
now. The young lady had suitors in plenty
and many more loved her in secret She was a
delicate blonde modest and kind hearted
Everything began pleasantly. The young
lady visitor to the town received the guests with
pleasant words and smiles, and everybody
seemed to be put into good humor and a desire
to have splendid time. Major Henderson was
one of the late corners. He had travelled long
distance on horseback to be present. AS ne en-
tered and saw younger men surrounding the
woman he loved; it was plainly seen that it was
an effort for him to keep calm. Miss Weeks
tried to please him into good humor, but was
only partially successful
When the band tuned up that old favorite
'The Corn-fower Waltz" the Major asked
Miss Weeks if she was engaged for that. dance.
She was. The early arrivals had lost no timo
in claiming her, and the Major was obliged to
be content with polka about half way through
the order of dances.
Although there were lady dancers in plenty,
Major Henderson refused to take a partner, but
scowled on the young man who had his arms
around Miss Weeks's waist. At the end of the
waltz the lady entered an ante-room, and the
Major grasped her late partner rudely by the
arm and accused him of hugeing Miss Weeks i'll
an unseemly manner. The young gentleman, a
cousin of the young lady in question. indignant
ly denied the accusation and told the Major that
a repetition of the insult would meet with in
slant punishment. With hard look in his face,
and with passion in his eyes, Major Henderson
stepped back a trife from the lovable woman,
deliberately drew pistol from mis- hip pocket.
flashed its muzzle upon the pearl-white neck and
fired before anyone could realize his intentions.
