The incident of Dewey'S praise for
the Charleston boy is reported in the

Exactly, said the admiral, re-

comes one Of the real heroes Of Manila.

worked himself up out Of the ranks:

MURDERED At SUPPER.
a Bride and Groom Shot by Reject
ed Suitor.

A special to the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch from Montgomery. Mo-, says:
Frank Walker and his bride were muir
dered today by Charles Rankin, a dis
appointed lover, who then killed him
self. A child was seriously wounded
by the shots that killed the couple.
All concerned in the tragedy were
prominent residents Of Montgomery
county. The murder occurred at the
home of James Cook, nine miles east Of
here, where the couple and their friends
had gone to eat the wedding supper.
Walker, who had no relatives, work
ed around the farm. Tuesday after
noon he and Miss Maud Goshorn drove
to Montgomery and were married.
They then drove out to the Cook home,
where supper was prepared. A com
pany of well-wishers gathered. The
bride and groom sat side by side at the
head of the table in front Of an uncur-
tanned window, when Rankin shot the
couple, firing with a shotgun throug b
the window. Both were instantly kill
ed, their heads being riddled with shot.
A child, member of the Cook family,
was badly wounded.
No one saw the murderer and his
identity was unknown until his dead
body was stumbled over outside the
house. \ letter left by Rankin reveal
ed the fact that he was rejected suitor
CT Miss Goshorn's and that he commit
ed the murder because she married an
other.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Bids for Star Route Contracts Must
Include Free Delivery Of Mail.

The Postofice Department has issued
the revised instructions governing bids
for Star Route mail contracts. 1t is
not perhaps generally known that these
contracts are given out for four years a;
time and that this year is the time
for new contracts. This service touches
perhaps two-thirds of the people Of this
State; and it behooves them to see that
responsible bids are put in from the
neighborhood Of each route at the low
est practicable figures before Nov. Both
next.
These instruction contain new and
important paragraph in so far as bids in
South Carolina are concerned. 1t re-
quires all bids to include the free de-
livery Of mail to persons living on or
near the route. This is practical
adoption, SO fai as South Carolina is
concerned, Of Congressman Stokes
scheme which attracted such favorable
attention last winter, and which was
warmly advocated by The Times and
Democrat. 1t was not generally known
at the time that the one vote lacking in
conference committee to fix the Stokes
proposition as a rider on the appro-
priation bill, was lacking by reason of
Senator Quay's absence on trial for
helping to wreck bank in Philadel-
phia.
Having failed to get what he sought
by special bill and by ride" on the
Supply Bill, through an unfortunate
combination of circumstances, Con-
gressman Stokes went to work to secure
it through the department, under the
discretionary power given for expert
mental purposes.
