a MURDER MYSTERY.
j. D. Carson Found WcltcriEg in Ills
Blood. His Wife Says it Was

At Spartanburg oa Thursday morn
ing J. O. Carson was found in bed
with his head almost severed from his
body. His head also was horribly y
mashed in several places. It was an
awful sight, and strong men grew
faint and turned sway from perhaps
the most sickening and bloody sight
they had ever seen.
Carson was q wcll-to-do farmer at
New Prospect and WAS very popular.
At the inquest his wife testified that it
was suicide, but the evidence and cir
cumHances connected with his death
prove conclusively that it was murder
most foul, and that his slayer had pre-
meditated the deed. Bloody tracks
were to be seen on the floor while
blood was entirely absent from the
dead mans feet. Several pieces of a
blade from razor were found i'm
bedded in his throat. Mrs. Carson
says that her husband had often times
accused her of being unfaithful and
that scandalous stories had been told
on her.
It looks to be very crooked and
ugly affair. It is believed that Mrs.
Carson knows mroe about her hus-
bands death than she has told and it
is also thought she can place her hand
on the murderer. Some very sensa-
tional developments may yet be
brought to light. The coroner's jury
returned verdict that he came to his
death by some one unknown to them.
The matter will be investigated and
arrests will surely follow.

THE CoNoUEsrs OF SILENCE.


; Washington never made speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed, and gave it mp con-
fused and abashed. In framing the
constitution of the United States, the
labor was almost wholly performed in
committee of the whole, of which
George Washington was, day after
day, chairman, and he made but two
speeches during the conve ntion, of q
very few words each, something like
one of Grants speeches. The conven-
tion, however, acknowledged the mas
ter spirit, and historians affirm that
had it not been for his personal popu-
larity, and the thirty words of his first
speech, pronouncing it the best that
could be united upon, the constitution
would have been rejected by the peo-
pie.
Thomas Jefferson never made q
speech. He couldn't do it.
Napoleon, whose executive ability is
almost without q parallel, said that his
difficulty was in finding men of deeds
rather than words. When asked how
he maintained his influence upon his
superiors in age and experience when

he said: "By reserve" The great
