Payne Determined She Shall
Keep Office, Despite
Her Wishes.

washington, Jan. TO- Soma
tor McLaurin of Mississippi today
conferred with Postmaster Gener-
a. fayne regarding the Iudianola,
Miss Postoffice, and again
urged the reopening of the office,
either with or without Mrs. Min
ME Cox, the present postmaster,
in charge of the Office. Senator
mcLaurin showed Mr.. Payne a
Telegram he received today from
Z. z. Chapman, an attorney of
lndianola, stating that the post
master resigned voluntarily, that
she left town voluntarily, and that
she will be protected if she returns.
Senator McLaurin said he was able
to give assurance that the post
master would be entirely safe in
returning and stated that the pres.
ent situation imposed great hard
ship on the people of Indianola.
The. present attitude of the ad-
mlnisuation is that the pestoffice
will be reopened and Mrs. Cox
relnstated as postmaster if the
responsible authorities of India
nola furnish assurance of her pro
tectlon. If the mayor and sher-
iii will give assurance of her safe
ty, Postmaster General Payne
Will recommend to President
Roosevelt, who is personally con-
sidering the case, that the post
office be reopened and the pres
ent postmaster brought back to
lndlanola and again installed in
charge. Senator McLauiin was
told that while assurance from
private citizens were gratifying,
official assurance is pre- requisite,
and this assurance will be request
ed by Senator McLaurin.
Senator McLaurin also confer
red with the president regarding

Young White Man Seriously Gut
BY Negro.
Last Friday afternoon, Ben
Hunter, son of Mr.. Wesley
Hunter, who lives across Lynches
River IN Chesterfield county, was
knocked down with q rock and
cut in ten places by a negro,
Mack Blakeney, of this county.
As we learn the particulars, the
negro, passing crowd of small
children on their way home from
school, asked them if they were
laughing at him and they replied
no. Young Hunter, who was
also going home from school,
came up and asked what was said
when the negro asked if he wish
ed to take it up. He replied, no,
and the matter dropped. Later
Hunter asked the negro If he
wished to hire for this year and
received answer that he would
hire to no d-n white man. At
the same time the negro struck the
boy with rock, jumped on him
and inflicted ten wounds on his
body with knife. The negro
fled and has not been captured.
1t was reported here Monday that
he had teen seen in the Eastern
portion of this county and Sheriff
Hunter left at once for that sec.
tion to make search for him.
Young Hunters wounds are
serious and he may not recover.
DR.. Sapp is attending him.

1t was known Sunday night
that the beloved chief Justice'ss
hours were numbered; that he
was dying. He remained un,
conscious. Slowly his pulse grew
weaker and the physicians said
he would do we'll to live until this
morning. The chief justice has
suffered intensely since his mala-
dy assumed malignant form; to-
wards the end oplates had to be
used almost continuously to re,
lieve the pain. Judge McIver
made the too common mistake or
waiting until the disease had be-
come lncurable before consulting
rny physician. Though every
thing possible was done for him
by experts it was too late, and he
has been doomed for several
months. ,,- 81 ,.

William Fudge Attempts Suicide
Prominent Aged York Farmer
Slashes His Throat and Wrist
His Chances for Recovery
Are Very Slim. '-

Rock Hill Journal, 18th inst.
William Fudge, one of the best
farmers in York county until
Rheumatism and old age weakened
him mentally and physically, at
tempted to end his life in his barn
near Harmony station early Mon
day morning by cutting his throat
on both sides and his left wrist
with a razor.
DR.. John Newton CASTOR, his
physician, thought Monday after
noon that there was some hope
for his recovery, but said the aged
mans chances were extre nely
slim.
1t Is thought that the failure Of
the old Farmers and Commercial
bank here had much to do with
the attempt at suicide.
BY this failure MIR. Fudge lost
some 81, 200, which he had in the
savings department, and which
was about all the cash he had in
the world and represented the ac-
cumulations of many hours hard
and close economy.
