BLOOD OF A BROTHER
SHEDIN CHARI.ETON.
N. Il. Pittman of GOurdin7s S. O.,
Killed by A. j. Pittman.

Charleston, Oct. 1S.-N. 7. Pitt
man, a we'll to do and prominent
merchant of Gourdln's Station,
was shot to death this afternoon
by his brother, A. j. Pittman.
The killing occurred about l
o'clock, in the reading room of
the Hotel Calhoun, which is in
the rear Of the office.
The trouble that led up to the
trageded is not fully known. but
from what was learned shortly af-
ter the killing it ls supposed that
either money matters or an I'm.
pleasant family affair was the
cause that led to the shooting.
There were no eye witnesses to
the shooting, and just what took
place in the reading room be
tween the dead man and his
brother cannot be stated. They
were the only occupants of the
room and had been for some lit
tie time, having gone there, pre-.
sumably, to discuss business mat
ters.
The curtains of the reading
room, which shut our the view
from the Office, were par.lv dra vn.
though the two men could be
seen, sitting down in chairs, talk
ing together, but their presence
In the room attracted no atten
ton whatever, and their conver.
sation was held in an ordinary
conversational tone and did not
foretell of the tragedy that took
place.
Suddenly the attention Of Mr..
Guy A. Stoner, the manager of
the hotel, was attracted by the re.
port of pistol, followed in quick
succession by four more shots. all
of which came from the writing
room.
Manager Stoner turned Pitt
man over to Police Officer Luby.
who sent him to the station house.
Mr.. Pittman did not appear to
be much excited, but for a a man
who had just killed his brother,
was remarkable cool and collect
ed. The only statement that he
would make was that he did not
care to know the result that he
did it IN self-defense.
The pistol with which he fired
the fatal shots was a new Smith
IL Wesson, 80 calibre. All the
shells in the weapon had been
disch arged.
Coroner Rivers and Deputy
Coroner Warning were notified
and they took charge of the body
at once. The dead man was found
sitting in a chair, he having been

A man talks about owning his business
But, as matter of fact his business owns
him. His whole life is regulated by the de-
mands of the business. The time at which
he rises, his breakfast hour, the time given
to meals, are all determined by business
obligations He rushes through lunch be-
cause he ''can't spare the time from BUSH
ness" to eat leisurely. He won't take a
rest because he is needed at the store or
Office. He is in fact an absolute slave to
business. The results which follow this
slavery are to be seen on every hand. Men
dyspeptic. irritable, nervous, with drawn
faces, and hollow eyes, sit at the desk or
stand behind the counter until they collapse
in fit of sickness, or are taken away by
heart failure. Those who cannot escape
the exactions of business will find friend
in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t strengthens the stomach, increases the
action of the blood making glands. increas-
ing the vitality and physical vigor. 1t
makes men strong and prevents those bust

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 21.-From
5000 to 5000 people, 5000 Of whom
were veterans from Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, attended the dedication OF the
Indiana monuments and markers at
Chickamauga park Wednesday. The
exercises began at ten o'clock and were
all conducted from platform erected
at the site of the Wilder brigade
monument, one of the most beautiful
portions of the military park. The day
was beautiful, bright and clear. BY
the ceremonies of the day the state OF
Indiana turned over to the federal gov
eminent 11s markers and monuments,
costing in the neighborhood Of $50, 900.

Indiana furnished two divisions and
eleven brigade commanders In the battle
Of Chickamauga- Twenty-Five regiments
Of infantry were engaged In the battle, az
were also three regiments OF cavalry and
eight batteries of artillery. making total
OF forty Indiana organizations which took
part In the memorable conflict. The nrst
Geld officer killed in this battle was Col.
w. b. Carroll. of the Tenth Indiana. The
only confederate battery captured at
Indiana. The last volley fired from Snod-
| grass hill was by the Ninth Indiana. The
Indiana soldiers were the first to engage
| In this terrible conflict and the last to re-
tire. Indiana had more men actually en-
gagged in the battle OF Chickamauga and
| sustained a greater loss in killed and
| wounded than the United States lost on
| land and sea In defeating the Spanish
armies and In destroying their fleets.
Truly. honored by the prowess Of Gen.
Thomas, lies this field, glorious to union
valor."
Gen. P. v. Boynton, president of the

This is the largest amount every ship

car was placayded with large letters,
composing the name of the firm and
where it was shipped from. The grain
was bought in several adjoining

Decisions Handed Down by oren.

In reply to questions from Mueller
Bros, brewers at Owosso, Attorney
General Oren states that brewers who
pay sos tax cannot enter a local OPP
ton county and store or sell liquor.
But they can sell in any county at
wholesale, without paying additional
tax. They cannot build store houses
In other counties, as they would be
equivalent to additional breweries.
A majority of those voting is suffi-
cient to establish the free text book
system, even If the proportion voting
to the population is very small.
Laborers who work more than 10
hours day can collect for extra work,
but this does not apply to domestics
or farm laborers.

SUPERVISORS ANNUAL MEETING
Important Matters to be Considered by
the Board at the Meeting Beginning
October O

October g.
From the Corunna Journal
The annual meeting of the county
board of supervisors is always an i'm
portant matter and this year will be un,
usually so. The acceptance of the new
addition to the county poor house, the
election of the various officers and the
ever new problem OF equal taxation as
viewed by the state commissioners, de-
mand careful attention.
Among the offices to be filled is that
Of drain commissioner, now held by
Charles A. Parker. That, however, will
be an easy matter as Mr.. Parker will
have no opposition, which is as ii
should be; for no man has ever been
more faithful to the trust imposed than
Mr.. Parker. While the office is un-
doubtedly the most trying of any coun-
ty office to fill alisfactorily, yet Mr..
Parker has succeeded far beyond the ex-
pectations of his most ardent admirers.
The reason however is apparent In the
first place he mastered the law govern
ing his actions and then with an honest
endeavor to do the right thing without
regard to friend or foe, he has succeed
ed In giving entire satisfaction. He has
accomplished large amount of work
owing to his preparation for it and has
record that he may well be proud of.
His reelection should, and undoubted-
ly will be by unanimous vote of the
board.
The next office to be filled is that OF
superintendent of the poor, now held by
j. A. Armstrong, of Owosso, He has
made good man for the place In the
portant matter of building the new adj
dition and has most faithfully attended
to the increased duties. 1t is quite a
compliment to him that there is no op-
position to his reelection.
For member of the board OF county ex-
aminers we hear of no other name than
that of Howard Slocum, who has held
the office for one term. His prompt at
tention to the duties of the office entitle
him to a reelection, which he will un-
doubtedly receive.
For janitor Charles A. Potter, who
has been painstaking officer and ap-
pears to be the only candidate. He has
looked well after the buildings and
grounds and the comfort of the county
officials and Of the many who have had
business to transact at the various Of
fees. In fact he has made an ideal jani-
tor, rejecting credit on the board for
their wise selection.
There will also be three election COM
missioners appointed, and under the
new law no member of the board can
hold the position. They will, however,
find no difficulty in selecting capable
men who will consent to serve.
MThe chairman, Supr. f. G.. MOrrice,
has already been selected and the stand
ing committees appointed so they will
be ready to commence work on fhe first
day of their session.
The board is composed OF fair minded
and intelligent men and we bespeak for
them harmonious and profitable ses-
sion.
