Fatally Wounded In His Office.
Indianapolis, Dec 2S.-William H.
Smythe, grand secretary of the Ma
sonic order OF Indiana, was shot and
probably fatally wounded at noon
while he was in his office in the Ma
sonic temple in this city.
The shooting is a mystery. Mr..
Smythe retained consciousness for
several minutes after the shooting.
He said blonde woman had entered
his office and asked him permission
to use the telephone. He was busy
and told her he could not be bothered
at the time Without further words,
he says, the woman leveled re-
volver at him and fired. He felt the
sting of the bullet and after that he
did not know what happened until
after the woman had made her escape.
The police reached the scene only &
few minutes after the tragedy, but no
trace of the woman was found.

damaged the mining machinery in the
neighborhood.
The Beers attacked Utrecht at o'clock
this morning and We're driven of.
The Beers held up train three miles
west of Pan and were driven off.
London, Dec. 2S.-The latest dis
patches from South Africa show that
Lord Kitchener has succeeded in hold
ing the invading Beers in check. But
he has not yet been successful in ex-
pelling them from Cape Colony, while
small commanders continue to display
astonishing daring and activity over
an immensely wide field.
1t is questionable whether his proc
lamation will have much effect until
General Dewet is captured. The Beers
are likely to regard it as a sign Of
weakness and to have wholesome
dread of DeWet'S VENGEANCE if thew
surrender.
The proclamation is approved by the
party at home that fayors conciliatory
terms to the Beers as q step in the
right direction.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

~ VL4C ANASOA VI S1S NA- HsNS'
To my fellow citizens of Lexington
county: 1t has been my purpose n
recent years to stay out of the news
papers, but as the public print is at
this time the only medium through
which can reach my fellow ci.iz ems,
I trust I will be pardoned for publicly
expressing my gratitude to those
who have endorsed my course in the
House of Representatives and have
stood by me in elevatipg me to the
State Senate; and to those who saw
fit to support either Of my opponents,
let me say that I have not one word
of complaint to utter against them.
have taken my success with becom-
ing modesty I hope, and 1 do con-
slider it great success to take a
man from the rank and file of the
people and promote him to the high
and digni6ed Office of State Senrt)r.
It was, if 1 remember correctly,
Lord Bacon who said that the duties
of life are greater than life. [ am
one who believes that the duties Of
office are greater than ofice. 1 re-
alize full we'll that I now have the
responsibility resting upon me of
filing position which in the recent
past has been filed by such master
minds as Wingard, Meetze, E6rd
and Griffith, and 1 do not claim TO
be the equal Of these gentlemen in
ability, but what I am lacking in
ability I do hope to be able to make
up, in some measure at least, in my
earnestness and zeal to do something
for the masses Of the people of my
county and State.
For every harsh word uttered in
the heat of political d, bate, and for
every upkind expression during the
campaign, I shall undertake to rise
above and will be the servant of the
whole people and will work in ba'-
mony and accord with the delegation
sent to the House OF representatives
by you.
Before closing let me say word
about the inatteption sometimes pa d
to our general elections. We have
saved the State and this is the time
of all others, to set to work to save
the nation. Let every one who
| claims to be white man, a citizen
and Democrat 60 to the polls at
| our next general election and vote
| for Stokes, Bryan and Stevenson.
Again thanking you let me add,
that should God spare my life to my
little family and my constituency, to
live out the term of Office to which
you have elected me, shall endeaVor
to bring back the Office to you at the
| close of my term unstained by dis
| honor and unsoiled by sin.
am, your obedient servant,
