Don't croak and stand in the way of
the good roads movement. Suppose the
money is to be spent on the county roads,
what of that: Won't the town derive
much benefit from good highways lead
into into it? We don't know how 1900
can better be spent TO benefit the town
than by building good roads. Good high
ways will bring more people here to trade
and to market their products. The con-
sequence is that every business in town
will receive some benefit.

Something is being said in the news
papers as to Judge Buchanan's legal resi-
dence in the Third District, the point be-
ing made that he has lived in Winnsboro
for some time, continuing to hold the
Office and receive the salary as Judge OF
another district If the legislature had
not violated at least the spirit of the law
in electing Judges several years ago, this
matter would not have come up. Ii it is
illegal for Judge to live in another dis
trict than that for which he is elected, it
would be seem to an evasion of this prin-
ciple to elect man from another district,
even if he does move into his district
after election.
A merry war is ON in Charleston be-
tween Mayor Smythe and Corporation
Counsel Legare. The mayor practically
charges Mr.. Legare with dereliction of
!. duty in not prosecuting cases against
blind tigers, and Legare says the charge
was brought because he is not political
supporter of the mayor. Be the reason
whatever it may, it appears to US, from
the written public statements of the two
men, that the mayor has grounds for his
charges Why the mayor brought up the
matter is of little interest to the public !;
the interesting question is whether the
charge is true. The whole matter is to be
reviewed by city council at an early date.
~
: The good roads movement has been
fairly started, and every patriotic citizen
will cooperate with those who have in
augurated this movement so fraught with
good results to the town and surrounding
country. City council cannot and will
not appropriate money for this work
without the consent and approval Of the
taxpayers, and they must show interest
in and appreciation of the work as well.
We admit it is new departure for mu-
nicipal corporation to build country high
ways, but it will be money well invested
"a benefit to the town and country. We
trust our citizens will largely attend the
mass meeting to De held next Monday
afternoon. If you want good roads-and
of course you do-go out to the meeting
and by your presence at least give encour-
agement and sympathy to the efforts of
those who are earnestly striving for the
towns material welfare. The merchants
should close their stores and give an hour
to this important matter.

Brigham Young's
Grandson Accused If Committing
Murder The Death of Mrs.
Pulitzer Has Been Traced
TO Him.

New York, Sept. 10. The po-
Ice today are seeking clues to the
sensational murder of Mrs. Anna
Pulitzer, wife of Joseph Pulitzer,
tailor at 160 West Forty.slxth
street, found mutilated and
weighted with twenty pounds of
chains IN Morris canal cut at
ke"rny, New Jersey, yesterday
afternoon. Her skull was frac-
tured in two places and there was
Il six-inch knife cash in the right
side of the abdomen. She was
about to become a mother. She
had left her home in this CITY
Tuesday night to buy fruit for
her husband. Her husband is
held on suspicion. The police be-
lleve that the woman was killed
here and taken to the canal in q
wagon hired in Newark by man
giving false address who is mys-
teriously missing. The murderer
made the fatal blunder of throw
ing the body in tide water.
New York, Sept. 90. Evidence
in the hands of the police today
point to Wilson Hooper Young,
the grandson of the famous Brig
ham Young, as the murderer of
Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, whose mu-
tilated body was found in Morrls
canal cut, at Kearney, N. j.,
Thursday afternoon. The crime
was traced through the strap and
weight on the body, and 1t is be-
lieved to have been committed in
the apartment of Young's father
in this city, where Young has
been stopping while his father is
abroad. Young has not been
caught, but the police know he
sent trunk to Chicago. They ex-
pect to have him soon. The first
clue to the mystery came from
Hoboken liveryman from whom
Young rented buggy in which
he carried the body to the canal.
The bloody bedroom in Young's
apartments strengthened the belief
that he is the guilty person.

Like the running brook, the

The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow ard healthy spleen
are full of fat.

blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with

A Little Child Smothered to
Death.

News reaches us by phone
this morning of most distressing
occurrence near Ansonville, An
son county, yesterday afternoon.
A number of children were play

pile of seed cotton. The little
fellows scooped out grave in the
cotton pile and little boy 7 years
old, named Ty son, played the part
of corpse. He was put into the
hoe and cotton was packed on
him by his little play fellows.
When the time came to change
the game the children found 10
their horror that they could not
wake the little boy who had been
buried. They pulled him out of
the hole and found that he was
cold and could not move and then
they ran in their childish terror to
the older people and told of their
trouble. The little boy was dead
when the grown up people reach
ed him, haying been smothered in

scenes around the church were
indescribable. Dead bodies were
strewn in every direction and the
ambulance service of the city was
utterly incapacitated to move them
until after l o'clock a. m.
The church is the largest house
Of worship for negroes in Birm-
