HANOl'S MIXED SCHOOL
CROMOS DOWN IN SUSSEX
LITTLE INDIAN RIVER CHURCH TORN UP
WITH DISSENSION.
flandy's Mixed School GrOmOs Ressurected
by One Of the Pillars OF the Church
and Made Impression

Internal dissension promises to dis
rupt the sometime peaceful congrega-
tion of little country church, which
is used for public worship over in In
dian River hundred, says the Whining
ton EUening Journal The sole cause
of all these portenuous rumblings is a
little "nigger boy" hardly out of
swaddling clothes. 1t appears that a
man named Burton brought the boy
from a children's home, and their be-
ing no cOlored church in the neighbor-
hood, and not wishing to leave the
child alone, he had taken him to
church with him and deposited him
IN the rear pew, never imagining that
there would be any objection on the
part of the congregation. However,
it further appears that one of the Hon.
L. 1. Handy's mixed school pictures
had found its way to a certain seclud-
ed hearth of one of the pillars of the
church, and had made its intended i'm
preston. Ransacking his old album,
the aforesaid pillar brought forth the
treasured work of art and proceeded
to circulate it among other members
of the congregation of about the same
calibre as himself. Their chief argu-
ment was something like this: "If
we let that d-n nigger come to our
church it will only be matter of
short time before others will want 10
come, and our churches and school
houses will be full of them"
The clergyman in charge remonstra-
ted that the recalcitrants did not show
a Christianlike spirit, for which he
came very near losing his job.
The war goes merrily on, and the
participants have finally resorted to
the columns of the county papers as
a means of paying compliments to one
another. Of course, politics do not
enter in the struggle. 1t is merely
the principle for which they are fight
ing. The participants in the scrim-
mage are becoming quite we'll in
formed Bible students in their search
for quotations which will strengthen
the arguments of their respective
sides. The outcome of the contention
is awaited with interest.

CONSTABLE FINDS BLOODY AXE.
Was Used By Jacob r. KilIen 10 tie
Assault on His Wife aud Baby.

was Used BY Jacob K. killen 10 tie
Assault on His Wife aud Baby.
Constable FARRELL of Woodside has
in his possession the bloody axe which
was used by Jacob r. Killen, the Viola
farmer, who murderously attacked his
sleeping wife and baby recently, dis
figuring them for life, should they sur
vive the ordeal. The axe has a short
handle and could be used with one
hand. killen used it, according to
the testimony of the daughter Cora,
who saw the assault in time to save
her mothers life, with his right hand,
while with the left the husband
clutched the wife's throat to silence
her, pinning her down with his knee
upon her breast. 1t was thought that
this weight upon the chest had injured
Mrs. Killen internally, but this can
not yet be determined.
An effort will be made to establish
Killen's insanity should the wife or
baby die, and in the belief that he is
insIne all of Killen's daughters are
singularly certain, and tell remarkably
similar stories. 1t is held by them
that their father injured himself inter
nally while at work upon a binder and
was advised TO take some camphor.
Twenty drops, it was suggested, would
have been ample, bu, Killen had only
gum camphor in the house and swal-
lowed large piece of this. Some time
afterward he took hot cup of coffee
and the camphor, being thus absorbed,
sent him into violent commissions from
which he became mentally weak, in
accurate, and at times raving. The
family claim that the father placed
himself under the treatment of DR..
Barber, of Harrington, under whose
advice he took two quarts of pills for
the nerve and brain, since early spring.
DIR. Cubbage, of FELTON,, they declare,
also urged the husband to go to Farm
hurst or the Jefferson Hospital for
treatment.
On their way to Harrington recent
ly, Killen caused his wife to get out of
their carriage along the road, and the
report of this incident, then given by
the unfortunate woman, was that her
husband said he was feeling badly in
the head, his brain was whirling and
a passion seized him to do something,
and he wanted his wife to get of
harms way. She walked home.

Whenever you waste anotherman time
either you or he has got to pay for it. Time

What has that to do with clothing?
This. We not only save money by

tens of thousands of yards; but we save
money by making the most economical pos
sibe use of the time of our big force of peo-

1t is this that makes it possible to sell

best that other stores of our general kind can
