Accidental Death Of Dr.. Murray.

On Saturday afternoon last about 4
o'clock Dir. Robert w. Murray, a
prominent physician of the Greenville
nelghborhood accidentally shot him.
self in the left side in his room adjoin-
Ing his office, he died in about three
quarters of hour after great suffering
lie mad just returned from the post
office and had been talking to a friend
In front of the office and not five min
utes afterward shot was heard and
on entering he was found lying On his
side with small pistol which he usual
ly kept under his pillow lying nsar
the wound. DIR. Murray was in the
habit of carrying a revolver, but the
one that inflicted the wound was not
the same as the one he usually carried,
but small one that he kept in his
room. Every one acquainted with the
occurrence are of the opinion that
when he laid down the pistol slipped
from the place where it was usually |
kept and was accidentally discharged. |
The ball penetrated the abdomen as
was ascertained on examination, caus-
ing death as above stated.
DR.. Murray was son Of Rev. DR..
James Murray. for so many years the
beloved pastor of Bethel Church, and
was man of the most noble traits of
character, open hearted. frank and free
in everything. He was an able practi-
tioner, and was often called the poor
mans friends, never refusing to an
'wer' a call whether the patient was
lble to pay or not.
DR.. Murray's remains were brought

hey were met by his aged father aud

Commerce 8 Z Per Cent.
OF the Eighteen Billions of Dollars
Worth of Business Done Annually
EnPland TrnnsactS 1873 Per Cent
and Germany los Per Cent-The
Trade of America Extending.

John +. Winter. the Consul OF the United
States az Annaherg, Germany. in report
TO the State Department, furnishes the in
teresting information that OF the slS000.-
coo. 900 worth Of commerce done by all na-
tioDs, England's share is 1873 per cent,
Germany's los per cent, while 81 per cent
falls to the United States.
Germany he says, built up her for
eign commerce at England's expense; and
the United States. which is just entering
the field, is building up a great foreign
trade at the expense OF both.
In Australia, in Africa. in South Amer
iea, and in China the commercial represen-
tatives OF each nation are fencing for van
tage ground upon which to build safe mar
kets for home industries.
Formerly, English buyers bought man
ufactured goods in Germany at ridiculouSly
cheap prices. These goods were forwarded
to great merchant houses in London to be
resold in foreign markets Today, these
same gods for the most part are shipped
from re district OF manufacture direct to
the buyer in foreign countries. The mid
dleman's rrohts now go TO enrich the Ger
man nanLiGClurer and laDorer.
The following causes have contributed
10 Germany S success in competition with
England:
'First-'fsrman manufactured goods are
cheaper and in some cases better
Second-German merchants adapt them
selves entirely to the wants of their Gus
toners. Industrial commissioners have
been sent out 20 South America, Mexico
China, Japan, South Africa, etc, to study
and report upon the conditions and needs
Of the people in those countries
''Third-The German travelling men have
better technical knowledge of their
branches and are familiar with more Ian
guages than agents of other countries They
are active, resourceful. and gifted with
tact, three essential things in selling goods
in a foreign country.
If we ever hope to obtain the first place
commercially We must watch and TO A
certain extent. adopt the weapons of our
rivals. namely technical schools. trained
travelling men, permanent and able consa-
Ier officers who are keenly alive to all
commercial interests. and merchant ma
rine large enough TO carry three-fourths

news comes from Costa Rica- The CORE
spoldent Of a New Orleans paper, writing
from Port Limon under date of May 2f.
sends the story Of what may be the hasis
Of an international episode.
On the night Of May "A the postoffice box
Of United States Minister William L. Mer-
ry, in the pOstof5ce OF san Jose. was bro
ken open and the letters therein stolen.
The theft caused a sensation. Minister
Merry discovered that there were several
important letters in the box, one Of parti-
cuiar interest being from Consul Davidson
at Managua, Nicaragua The fact that
this letter was among those stolen fur
nished, in all probability, the eIew to the
thieves
Ever since the settlement Of the trouble
between Nicaragua and Costa Riea. in
which the United States oficiated as ne
diator, there has been considerable feel
ing against this country because OF alleged
favoritism shown to Nicaragua. 1t Is
thought that the rifiing of the postofhee
box was done by the agents Of the party
which doubts the sincerity Of this countr,
and stole the letter from Managua TO OBJ
tain proof of duplicity
