leading citizens of the place in which he
resides, but neither the loss Of his po-

striking contrast between the mechanical,
soul-dWarfing, hope-killing system of ed
ueatiOn which cloaks its criminal lack Of
comprehension and sympathy under the

the real education wrought by deep and
true understanding Of character, bounded
by Kindness and sympathetic encourage

The author of this book is evidently
earnest, sincere and eager to. give the
world a message of help. In the preface
she says that what the world wants is
simple truth" In this book there are
undoubtedly elements of truth. But 1t
cannot be called a success as a novel,
for there is too much evidence Of preach
ing. 1t is indeed altogether too ETHEREAL
for the average Work-a-day man ana
woman. The sincerity and good Int tsIo
of the author cannot unfortunately cause
one to forget the shortcomings or the
story 1t has neither form nor cont1nu-
ity. There are passages of great beauty
scattered through the pages, however.

Nesbitt, the physicians who conducted
the postmortem examination, said
Marsh died from the effects Of the
blow on the back Of the head. But
that the blow on the other side of the
head was sufficient to produce death.
The coroner's jury rendered a ver-
dict to the effect that Marsh came to
his death according to the above facts.
The affair is very much regretted on
all sides. Marsh, the man who was
killed. was about As years Of age. He
was born in Virginia and raised in
East Tennessee, coming to this coun-
try about 25 years ago. He was mar
ried twice, first to Miss Martha Mill
wood, a daughter of Frank Millwood,
deceased. After her death he married
Miss Mollie Kirby, of this city. He
leaves a large family Of orphan child
rem.
Mr.. C. H. Gaffney, who is implicated
in the killing, is a farmer about 30
years Of age.
He was born and raised near here,
and is a member Of a large and prom
inent family, for which the city Of
Gaffney is named.
Mr.. Gaffney has always been consid-
cred peaceable and law-abiding citi-
zen, and a man Of many generous
traits Of character.
Banks Perry, the other man impli-
Gated in the killing, is as above stated
the son-in-law of Mr.. Gaffney. and in
addition to a wife has two or three
small children. He is about 80 years OF
age. His father and mother live near
Gaffney, S. G.
Court convenes here next Monday,
but as it Is only one week off and there

criminal docket, it is not thought the
Gaffney and Perry case will be tried
at this term. 1t is understood that
they will apply for bond.
