Lizzie Hall, 26 years old, and Joseph
Campbell are dead, and an unknown
man is dying in Bellevue hospital,
New York, as the result, the police
say, of a quarrel in the woman's apart
ments. According to the police, the
two men entered the apartments and
a quarrel ensued, during which four
shots were fired. The Hall woman

of the first floor Of the house, which
is large tenement house. Her almost
nude body was found on the floor OF
the bedroom. with a bullet hole in her
heart. Campbell's body, fully dressed
and also shot through the heart, was
living behind that of the woman. Inc
unknown man lay dying in the same
room. bullet having entered the base
of his brain and shattered the spinal
column. According to the tenants IN
the house, the two men entered the
woman's apartments Wednesday fore
noon. Sounds OF quarreling were
heard soon after, and one woman says
she heard four shots fired in rapid
succession. She ran from her room
across the street to the quarters OF a
fire engine company, where she told OF
the shooting. The police were sum-
moned and took charge OF the prem
ises. \ revolver with four empty
cha r,hers was found in the room.

A Cnre for Insomnia.

How many Of US, asks the London
Daily Mail, ever give our lungs a full
draught of the fresh air that is the
life of the whole body? We all know
what our lungs are for. We all
breathe at least thirty times a min
ute. Yet we practically never breathe
with all our lungs; never breathe
properly. 1t is possible for a man
to exercise his whole body, to keep it
strong and well, simply by breathing
properly. Every child should be
taught to breathe, and to get into
the habit of filing the whole lung
space at each inhalation and Of empty
ing it completely at each exhalation.
Do you know there is no better way OF
getting to sleep soon after going to
bed than by breathing properly?
Here is specimen breathing exercise:
Push away your pillow and lie fat
upon your back with your muscles re-
laxed. Slowly draw in the deepest
breath possible, hold it for four sec
onds, then slowly expel it until your
chest and abdomen have collapsed.
Repeat this until you are tried or
foil as1eeD

Caused By q Cat.

A terrible explosion Of gunpoWder
occurred at 2 o'clock Wednesday after
noon in the cabin of William Hollo-
man, negro, on the plantation Of
Mr.. Glib. Lowe, five miles from Wash
ington, Wilkes County, Ca, and as a
result Lily Holoman, aged Is, is dead:
while Prince Holloman, aged /, and
Jesse Holloman, aged 6, are seriously
injured. The parents Of the children
were attending the great negro camp
meeting at Liberty Hill, near WASH
ington, and departed at once for their
home upon receiving information OF
the accident. 4 bottle of gunpoWder
was standing upon the mantelpiece,
when a cat jumped from the loft and
knocked it on the floor and partly into
the fire. The children were stunned
and burned by the explosion. Lily
was thrown into convulsions, which
terminated in her death few hours
afterwards.

CAN'T for Secretary Of State.

Mr.. J. T. CAN'T, who is candidate
for promotion to the office Of Secretary
of State. deserves to succeed in This
election. and doubtless will be elee ted,
because of the excellent record he has
made during a four years incumbency
as assistant Secretary Of State.
Mr.. CAN'T has been at all times
faithful and efficient, always at his
post of duty, and ever willing and
ready to 60, if need be, beyond his
duty to serve those having business
with this important office.
He has systematized and improved
the records, opened new records and
dices, and adopted the most approved
business methods in this work. His
four years experience in the office has
qualified him to carry on the work
without hitch or hin0rance, and to
point out needed changes and amend
mentS to the corporation law of the
State, the enforcement OF much Of
which devoIves upon this office. AS d
result Of his work. the receipts OF the
office have increased ten-fold- over
$4,000 having been turned into the
treasury to reduce the burden Of taxa
tion last year:
The work in which Mr.. CAN'T takes
most pride, however, and for which he
is best known, is the attention he has
attracted to the valuable records Of
the State and the steps to preserve
them, for which he is responsible.
Realizing this fact, the State commits
sion requested him to prepare an ex-
hibit for the Charleston exposition,
and the splendid display in the State
building resulted. The exhibit was
secured by Mr.. Can't largely from
rubbish in the State house.
It's upon this record that Mr.. CAN'T
asks the votes of the people, and he
deserves election. dorchester Demo-

DR.. LEN TOO LIBERAL.
There IS Trouble Brewing for Him in
His association.

Dr.. Len 6. Broughton, of the
BAPTIST Tabernacle church, of Atlanta,
seems 10 be a little bit too liberal for
The other Baptist denominations OF
the city. and they have gone after
him. along with the Christian Index,
the State Baptist organ, with a hot
iron.
1t is alleged that DR.. Broughton is
receiving into his church members
from The (as the Index says Camp
bellites and pedo-Baptists" without
such members being baptized by a
regularly organized minister Of the
Baptist faith.
In other words, the immersion by
Christians or Primitive Baptists does
not 90 with the other Baptist church
es in Atlanta. and it is limited that
DR.. RrUughton will be carried up be-
fore the Forthcoming session Of the
Stone Mountain Baptist association, OF
which bis church is component part.
The bit Of evidence of the liberallty
of thought practised by DR.. Brough-
tons congregation is best told in d
conversation had between Methodist
laynan and a lady member OF DIR.
BrouyhtOn's church last Sunday night
on the portico Of the Baptist Taber-
nacle church.
why, Mr.. Blank" asked this lady,
laughing, what is an old Methodist

Il don't know that I'm alta Baptist
church when I'm here" he replied.
She smilingly asSented. well,
you're about half right. 1t is about
half way between Baptist and Metho-
DIST" and that closed the incident.

The Educational Revival.

There is being awakened a wide
spread interest in education. Through
out the country the attention of the
people is being called to this great
matter. The condition Of our schools,
both secular and denominational, is
being looked carefully into, and large
plans for their improvement are be-
ing projected. Specially do the schools
in the rural regions call for immedi-
ate and thoughtful attention. Our
scheme of public school education in
the country, in many places, is scarce
ly worthy the name, and is hardly
more than excuses for schools, says
the Baptist Union. With miserable
houses, only the most simple and
crude apparatus, poorly equipped
teachers, only a few months in ses-
sion, and with inadequate direction
and superintendent, it is quite i'm
possible to have such schools as the
times demand. 1t is high time our
people were moved in this matter.
Public schools have come to stay, and
they must be made adequate to the
great work committed to them. The
best men in the country should be
made Superintendents and school COM
missioners, and should give them
selves with great seriousness and in
dustry to the charge OF the duties OF
this office. The best men in the
community should deem it an honor
to be permitted to serve on the school
board. Fewer and better houses
should be secured, trained and mature
teachers employed and more months
occupied. These things our people
should demand and continue to de-
mand until they are secured. Let 1t
be understood that our schools are not
simply to furnish employment to the
favorite daughters of a neighborhood,
but a place for honest and hard work
on the part of men and women that
have been highly and thoroughly
trained for their life work. Let our
people be stirred to serious thought and
action in these things, and not take 1t
for granted that things are bound to
remain as they are. Speak out in
meeting whenever things are not what
they ought to be. 1t is the right Of
an honest taxpayer to get the best
for his money, and nowhere is it so
important to get the best as in our
public schools.

No Republican Ticket.

While the Democrats are holding
primaries, the Republicans in their
hopeless minority are keeping very
quiet, says The State, OF Columbia.
There have been rumorS that the Re-
publicans would call convention in
September and put out full state
ticket. A leader of that party stated,
the other day, that the Republican
state committee would meet in Sep
tember, but he felt sure that no con-
yentiOn would be called.

TERROR OF CONGO STATE.
Octopus Frequents Caverns and
Deyours Mems Brains.

A Belgian officer just returned from
the Congo Free State reports that in
the caverns of the Uelle river there
dwells species Of octopus that pre-
sents a grave danger to all who navl-
gate the river in small boats, say an
Antwerp cable to the Philadelphia
Ledger.
The strange beasts are called meg
we'' by the natives, and are very num-
erous in the neighborhood of the STA
tion of the Amadis, owing to the num-
Der of rocks and caves in that REGION.
They attack the native canoes, capSiz-
ing them easily with their tentacles,
and according 10 their state Of hunger,
seizing one or two men.
The octopus drags his human prey to
his cavern, and there, without lnfilct-
ing the slightest external wounds,
feeds on his victims brains by insert
ing the points Of his tentacles in his
noStrils. He generally keeps his prey
fifteen hours, then lets the body float
out on the river.
Il was an eyewitness to disaster
of this kind" says the Belgian. "A
canoe was capsized in the river and
one of the three occupants disappear
ed. When the survivors swan ashore
they told US that an octopus had turn
ed over their boat and carried off their
companion.
THE next morning about 9 o'clock
the body was found floating and no
trace of any wound could be found,
while the only abnormal appearance
was the swollen state of the nostrils.
On examination it was found that
the brains had been extracted. The
natives Of the Uelle all dread the
'megwe' while those Of the 1timbri
know nothing of it's existence"

HEYWARD WILL WIN.
What An Up-Country Man Says
About the Second Race.

The primary election upset calcula.
tions Of every sort and knocked many
predictions awry. Its results and what
the second primary will develop con.
tinue to excite discussion and specula'
tiOn.
Since it has been decided that Col.
W. J. Talbert will contend with Capt.
D. Clinch Hayward in the second pri.
mary" said a business man from the
Piedmont belt, Friday, to reporter
of the News and Courier, there can
scarcely be any doubt as to the out
come. l know something of the drift
of sentiment in Anderson, Qconee,
Pickens and Greenville, where Ansel
polled probably 70 per cent. Of his
vote, and it seemed to be generally
understood that Ansel should get the
bulk of the votes in the first primary
and in the second primary they would
60 to Hayward. 1t was not believed,
even in that section, where Ansel is
known and esteemed. that he would
be in the second race. but Piedmont
folk were going to vote for him, willy
nilly. 1t was not that they esteemed
Hayward less, but they loved Ansel
more-and they stuck to him, as they
always have done. Now, however,
since Ansel is no longer factor to be
considered, the major part Of his
1900 and more votes will go to Hey
ward. Coming Developments will
prove the truth of what ! say.
LAS for DR.. Timmerman's vote,
there is no reason to believe that
Hayward will get scanty recognition
from it. If the Doctors vote cou4
be identified it would reveal his
strength with what, for the want of
a better name, / would call the re-
ligious OR church-going class. The
Doctor is an active member Of the
Baptist Church, and, you remember,
he was not at all worried over the in
terrogations anent his habits by the
Rev. Mr.. Belts. The Doctor received
over 5000 votes, and if the dedcons
and preachers had been in the major
ity in this state he would have sue
ceeded McSweeney, and there wouldn't
have been any second race. either.
Certainly he is to be congratulated on
the character of the vote he got.
''The friends Of Col. Talbert say he
will secure Tillman's vote. Suppose
he does, every single one Of them.
Hayward goes into the second primary
with 1889 more votes to his credit
than the combined strength Of Till
man and Talbert. And if you don't
think Hayward is more invincible in
Ansel's stronghold than Ialbert, / beg
to direct your attention to tie tabu-
lated fact that from the remnant vote
left by Ansel to his competitors Hey
ward got $50 to Talbert's POI in An
derson, $40 to Talbert's 240 in Green
vile, 2l3 to Talbert's 81 in PickenS
and 347 to Talbert's 81 in Oconee.
Now that's official"

Walter Lemerand, lately from
Toledo, Ohio, went to his home at
Monroe, Mich, on Friday, and found
man, Frenchman named Jos.
Labarge, also of Toledo, in the house
with his wife. A quarrel ensued,
Labarge finally running from the
house. An officer attempted to ar
rest him, when he ran down Third
street. a crowd pursuing. The Cry
"Assaulter..' was raised and the mob
began to shoot. Labarge ran into a
corn field. where he was surrounded
and shot dead, bullet penetrating
his heart. Mrs. Lemerand said: The
man was sitting in the parlor with
me when my husband came home.
There was nothing wrong" Mrs.
Lemerand said that she and Labarge
had planned an eiopement. An
autopsy was performed on Labarge's
body and the inquest will be held later.
Two men whose shots killed Labarge
are known, but no arrests will be
made until after the inquest.
