Retiring State Officers And What
They Will Do.
The State 26th inst.

Inc State Z6th inst.
Since the transfer of the reins
of State government there has been
considerable speculation as to what
those who leave official life will
devote their time and attention
to.
Hon. John. j. McMahan, the
able former State superintendent
of education who has accomplished
so much for the common schools
of the State, who loved the work
with a love almost amounting to a
passion, will return to the practice
of law He has been offered and
has accepted full partnership in
the extensive law practice of Mr..
W. H. Kyles.
Former Comptroller General
Derham goes to his home in Horny
county and will probably devote
his attention to his farming oper-
ations. He may be in politics
again in few years.
Ex-Gov. McSweeney has gone
to his home in Hampton, where
he will devote his attention to
strengthening out his business afo
fairs, of necessity much neglected
during the past three years, and
take "a good rest. His plans be-
yond that had not been matured
when he left Columbia Saturday.
He has many strong friends ID
the business world of Colum bia,
and it is considered not unlikely
that ere long be will be found de
voting his attention to some bus
lness enterprise here.
ExAdjutant General Floyd
goes back to his farm at Liberty
Hill In Kershaw county. He has
an extensive farm there, and will
have all he can do to keep il
going.
Ex-Secretary of State Cooper,
who has been in failing health fol
some time, has returned to his
farm in Colleton county. He
does not expect to reenter poll.

The friends ef ex-Attorney
General Bellinger will be pleased
to know that he is to have a Co.

is made in a handsome editorial
tribute to him in the Barnwell
New Sentinel. This editorial con-
cludes thus after appropriate ref
erences to Mr.. Bellinger's proud
record as attorney general:
"ln addition to his Barnwell
Office, which will be in charge of
Mr.. G. Miller Greene, Mr.. Bel

Mr.. Bellinger's retirement to

ary-for the people of the grand
old Commonwealth recognize in
him one of her ablest sons; one
who would grace and adorn any
position to which he might be
called; one who will do his duty
though the heavens fall and
though he sacrifice his own inter-

Evidence Pointed strongly Toward joe
Bean.

Bean.
Rochester, Oct 17.-Ihe preliminary
hearing in the mystery OF the death Of
kphraim Root, which was started yester-
day, was continued today, the authorities
calling some 25 witnesses. Some interest
ing and rather sensational testimony was
brought out, which points strongly to J0-
seph Bean as the murderer
1t was sworn that Bean was intensely
jealous Of Root on account Of the atten-
tions Of the latter to Mrs. John Green,
wife Of the sawmlll owner, and formerly
wife Of Bean.
Bean had previously been a pattner
with Green in the business but had sold
out and left town. During his absence
Mrs. Bean married Mr.. Green, believing
her former husband to be dead. Bean Ii
nally turned up very much alive. but con-
sented to abandon his wife to Green, al.
though he frequently referred to her as
''our wife"
On the night Of the murder Bean called
on Mrs. Green and had an interview with
her, when, It is alleged, he complained of
the attentions Root was paying her. Mr..
Green was In Canada on business and
there was no one around but his two sons.
Bean then went away. The murder oc-

stories as to his whereabouts the previous
night. He said be had been asleep on the

had been out driving cattle. He was Gov
