Again Marries his Own Wife.

Tuesday afternoon Ordinary James
j. Burch issued license to Mr.. Sam Col
son for his marriage to his former wife,
Mrs. Sam Colson.
Several years ago Mr.. Colson paid
his attention to Miss Smith and finally
won her heart and hand. Their mar
riage ensued and for several months
the matrimonial sea was smooth and
serene. However, after several months
had elapsed, divisions came and finally
divorce was asked for and which was
granted by the courts.
After the decree the matter was
dropped, and soon passed out of the
minds of the public. Mr.. and Mrs.
Colson went to their respective homes
and no inkling was given ct their in.
tended venture until the ordinary was
called upon and the license obtained.
Such things are often heard of, but it
is the first occurrence of this kind that
we have heard of in this county.
The happy marriage was, solemnized
at the brides home about three miles
from the city Wednesday evening, the
ceremony being performed by A. D.
Echols.
After the congratulations had been
offered sumptuous supper was served

Galveston is experiencing the coldest
weather that hps visited here in two
years. At o'clock this morning the
thermometer registered 24.S and ice
was everywhere. Tonight the ther-
mometer is rising and warmer weather

to the west and south of here are to
the effect THAT the cattle are not in
good condition for such weather owing
to the drought Of the past four months
and their unprotected condition on
the big ranges. It is feared that much
loss will result by the death of calves
especially. In this section quite q
number of horses are reported as dying
during the past twenty four hours,
mostly the property of:poor people, who
have been unable toifeed them0 owing
to the high price OF food. The ther-
mometer is falling tonight.

Marching on Together.

In hia address at the formal opening
Of the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition the junior
United States Senator from New York,
Chauncey Mitchell Depew, declared
with oil his customary impressiveness
of statement that "the East is surren-
dering its spindles" to the South and
the "Middle States their furnaces"
We must make due allowance:for the
enthusiasm born of the occasion and
for the temptation to run into rhetoric
and away from fact. The Senator
didn't quite mean what he said. The
East isn't "surrendering" its spir lies
to the South "a little bit" On the
contrary, it is not only holding fast to
whatit has. but is steadily adding to
their number. During the cotton sea-
son of 1SS4-05 the East-that is the
manufacturing towns Of New England
had 13,7OO,O00 spindles in operation;
six years later the number had risen to
14,05O, ,000-not great increase, to be
sure, but still not loss or "surren-
der" of single spindle
The South, meantime, increased her
spindles from 2,4S3,24s in 1s94-95 to
4,540,515 in 9-10OO-almost 100 per
cent. In building cotton mills by the
cotton fields che is going ahead by
leaps end by bounds-but Fall River
and Lawrence and Lowell, Saco and
Biddeford and Lewiston and all the
ofd-time atrongholds of cotton manu-
facture are holding the fort and
strengthening it. not "surrendering.',
The South is simply developing her
own resources and making the most of
them-"causing two blades of grass to
grow where one grew before"
/. And the same is true Of the iron and
steel industries: There..is no "surren-
der" anywhere. All sections are march
ing on together.-Nec York CONNER

Three Persons Murdered.


GEEENvILLE, Dec. 14.-One Of the
most revolving and heart -rending trag-
cdirs ever known in this section of the
country was enacted yesterday after
noon near Lima, 21 miles northwest
of the city. The shocking story reach
cd here by phone several hours after
the occurrence, and lhe horrible deed
OF drunken, crazy man created in
tense excitement in the community
where it occurred.
1t appears that Edward Hollis,
white man, who is commercial tray
elcr, had been on spree for several
days after arriving ut the home of his
father-in-iaw, Mr.. A. Il. Poole, who
lives OH the 1,rammell place in few
miles of Lima. Hollis had come to
spend the holidays, and not long after
his coming quarrel arose between
himself and wife, and this il supposed
to be the foundation Of the troubl.
which has ended in the death of his
wife and her sister, Miss jamie Poole,
Mt the hands of Hollis, who ended his
own life rs the sequel of the awful
tragedy.
Between 4 and o'clock yesterday
afternoon several members of the fami-
ly were in the sitting room, when Hol-
lis entered with pistol in hand and
commenced firing upon them. He
aimed the first shot Mt Miss Poole, who
sank to the floor in the embrace of
death, with bullet through her head.
His wife was tho next victim of hls
wrath, and his aim at her was also
deadly, as she fell to the floor with life
extinct. Their baby was in her arms
when the deed was done, and the little
fellow was shot through its finger by
the bullet which ended it's mothers
life. Then Hollis sought to kill hie
mother-in-law, but che was fortunate
to escape tho shot, and then with de-
liberate intent he sent bullet into his
own henrt, which laid him PROSTATE on
the floor by the side of his victims.
Tho three corpses were quite near
together, and this was the gruesome
sight which met the head of the house
hold, Mr.. Poole, rs he returned with
his son near dark from hunting on the
farm.
Mrs. Poole was prostrated by the
awful occurrence, and her life was in
jeopardy from the shock received, but
under the care of physicians she rallied
from tho prostration. and this morning
Is reported fairly well under the dis
tressing circumstances in her home.
The Poole family went to Piedmont
four or five years ago. and it was while
there that Hollis wooed and won the
eldest daughter of the family. They
we're married about two years ago, and
subsequently the Pooles returned to
their farm, the married daughter going
with them, as her husband was absent
the most of the time. Hollis has been
travelling for the Arnold Hat Company
of Atlanta, Ca, but he does not seem
to be known in this city, although his
wife has relatives here.-Ine State.

Ex-Secretary John w. Foster is

1t looks now as if a similar response
were beng made to Pierpont Nor
Gan's billion-dollar steel trust. in
the purchase by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company.
1t has been stated that the Penn
'sylvania Road uses 10000 tons of
steel raIl annually, and could not
afford to be subjected to the posi-
bility of being placed at the mercy
Of any steel company, and, there
fore, proceeded to buy up certain
steel works along its lines, with the
intention of operating them in it's
own interest.
The New York Herald, which
first announced the transaction,
states the situation caused by the
forming of the great Morgan steel
trust: ''T1mid persons declared
that the dreaded all-embracing
octopus trust had become reality,
and that future competition in the
iron and steel industry would be
impossible. What has followed?

capitalization ard prepared for ex-
tension of their plants and increase
of their output. The Pennsylvania
was formerly capitalized at So, $780,,
900, being recognized at $50, 900,
900, and the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which has long owned a minority
interest n the property, has now
secured virtual ownership, with a
view, it is explained, of controlling
the transportation of the company's
raw material and products and the
freight rates thereon"
The different interests in this
broard land are SO various and SO
vast tn at no single combination can
embrace them all, and when any
one of these great interests finds
itself menaced by some other com
bination it at once takes measures
for its own protection.
Before Mr.. Carnegie turned his
properties, in Sand near Pittsburg,
into the Morganusteel combine, he
had been engaged in a controversy
with the Pennsy lvania ROAD about
freight rates, and had threatened to
build a railroad of his own. These
facts cropping up to meet the
menace and pressure of the great
trust syndicates and organizations
show that, in the war of giants thus
brought about, some protection
still is to be found by the people
who would be otherwise driven into
financial slavery.
