MARRIAGE BROUGHT WEALTH.
Clara Schlemme- McGregor Gets a
Dover Of S2,OOo,OoO.

Dover Of S2,OOO,ooo.
A New York special to the Balti-
more American says:
Married to Bradford McGregor two
years ago, when she knew him to be
dying, Clara Schlemmer today is the
heiress Of 100000, which comes to
her as his widow. Surrogate Silkman
OF White Plains, in partitioning the
sl2, 900, 900 McGrego1 estate under
the wills Of Bradford, the son and
Ambrose M. McGregor, bis father,
who was Standard Oil magnate, has
ordered this dover paid to her. The
residue goes to her mother-in-laW.
Mr.. Clara Schlemmer McGregor is
only 81 years old and beautiful. Brad
ford McGregor loved her devotedly,
and while on his deathbed, following
an operatian, he asked her to keep
troth with him, and she did. Since he
died she has lived in Paris. The death
bed marriage Of Bradford McGregor
and Miss Schlemmer was one Of the
sensations Of New York in 1902. The
two young people had long been
sweethearts, and the fact that his
wealth gave McGregor a more i'm
portant position in the world than the
woman he loved held made no differ
ence to him. Both their families come
of good stock. The largest part Of the
McGregor estate consists Of land hold
ings in florida and Ohio Of an SS,000,-
900. The remainder consists Of stan
dard Oil interest.

propriate little address, congratulate
ing Spartanburg's grand old man on

wishing for him continued years Of
peace, usefulness and contentment.
DR.. Carlisle was deeply moved and
spoke few words in response in which
be said that if be had 200 years to
live and during that time felt that he
bad accomplished all the good posi-
BILE the incident Of the afternoon
would recompense him. His eyes
then filed with tears and he turned
to go inside but Mr.. Simpson request
ed that be be allowed the privilege Of
shaking hands with the doctor. This
was accorded to the entire crowd; the
scene was one that will never be for
gotten by those who we're witnesses.

Fought to the Death.

A special from Wilkesboro, n. c.,
says: As the result. it is understood,
Of an old feud, Hillary Key is dead,
killed by Freeland Johnson in furious
combat with knives and Johnson him
self lies at the point Of death suffering
from ghastly wounds that may yet
result fatally. It is rported that
Johnson went over to Keys field to
hunt for some stray sheep. While
there he engaged in an alteration
with George Key and fired at him
twice but failed to hit him. Hillary
Key, Georges brother, then took up
the quarrel and Johnson attacked him
with a knife. Hillary's blade instant
ly flashed out, but Johnson was too
quick for him stabbing and cutting
his life out in short order though in
doing so be himself received wounds
that may result fatally.

To Africa, Says Turner.

II am unwilling to sing America
until this country is what it claims to
be, Sweet land Of liberty" declared
Bishop H. M. Turner Of Atlanta, Ca,
at Friday nights session of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Conference
at Chicago. "The Negro in Science, :"
was the subject Of the address de-
livered by Bishop Turner, which
caused him to take up every phase
Of the negro question in this country
and led him to say that this was not
the negro'S home, but on the contrary
that God had allowed the negro to
come to this country to be enslaVed
in order that he could be trained and
20 back to his native land and make
it what it should be. In concluding
his address Bishop Turner said: The
supreme court Of the United States is
against US. We have good friends in
this country, yet they are compare
lively few, and the only thing LETT for
US to do is to leave. Let US be men,
let US 90 where we can be men. The
negro is here, some declare that be Is
here to stay, but 1 doubt that very
much unless be is to stay under the
ground"

tain articles OF wearing apparel which
had belonged to bis lately-deceased
wife, Stephen NJ. Whitebeck, ranch
er residing about six miles west of

clothing and personal belongings
brought to light currency, mortgages
and bonds valued at several thousand

amount to $4,000. At the time OF
the death of Mrs. Whitbeck it was
not thought that any money or prop
erty was owned by the dead woman,

Clue TO WentZ Mystery?

A special from Bristol, Tenn, says:
There is a strong suspicion that Silas
Ison and Thomas Wright, the noun
taineers who were captured at Cum
berland Gap, Tenn, recently. after
having been shot and wounded by off,
GERS. had a hand in the mysterious
disappearance of Edward J. Wentz,
the young millionair who has been
missing since last October. Three
garments discovered in house at Gla-
morgan which Ison and Wright form
erlg occupied are believed to have been
the property of Wentz. One Of these,
pair of riding trousers has on it
what appears to be blood stains. The
woman Of the family now occupying
the house declares the trousers are
identically the same in appearance as
those worn by Wentz. The other gar
mentS are tailor made but unfinished
and bear a tag which shows that the
cloth came from Louisville. The men
suspected in this connection are now
in Jail at Tazewell, Tenn.

Caring for Federal Dead.

A dispatch from Anderson to The
State says the ladies Of the city, led
by Mrs. Lenora c. Hubbard, have per-
fected plans for exhuming the bodies
of six Federal soldiers, which have
been resting in an obscure corner Of
the First Presbyterian church-yard,
and for reinterring them in suitably
marked graves in beautiful Silver
Brook cemetery. The city council at
it's regular meeting last night, donat-
ed to the ladies for this purpose one of
the handsomest lots in the cemetery.
A suitable memorial will be erected,
and in the years to come the graves
of these men, who were no doubt just
as true ard loyal to their country as
any how died for the Co2federacy,
will be carried for as the graves Of
soldiers should be cared for. These
graves have for years been decorated
on Memorial days, just as the graves
of the Confederate dead, but it is de-
sired to do ever more than that.

sCALDED TO DEATH.
Terrible Death Of Little Girl in the
Mill Village.

The Columbia State says a pathetic
death occurred Thursday morning in
a tenement home Of the Olympia mill
village when little 6-year-old Lessie
Weaver was released from pain.
Her suffering had been intense for
10 hours. The evening before she
and her l1-year-old brother left their
home to meet their father on bis re-
turn from work, and as they wele
crossing Hot branch" below the ex-
haust from the big mill engines,
Lessie slipped on the log and fell into
the hot water. Her brave little
brother went to her and succeeded In
pulling he7 out from the almost scald-
ing stream. The little girl was car.
ried to her home and a physician did
all in his power to minister to the
child's silent suffering. At intervals
during the night she would whisper,
Papa, I am comm to meet you. "
And these were the last words little
Lessie spoke before she passed away.
Mr.. E. ]. Waiver, the father, works
in tine Olompia mill. His home on
Ashley avenue is nearly mile from
the factory. His two little children
frequently met him returning from
work, but this was the first time they
had gone so far and they had never
attempted to cross Hot branch" be-
fore. The father did not known Of
the catastrophe until be arrived from
his work half hour later.
Fortunately DR.. s. F. Williams
happened to be at a nearby tenement
and attended the girl without any
delay. The burns extended over the
entire body and shortly the epidermis
pealed off. Dr.. Williams stated
Thursday night that he did every
thing he could to relieve the child Of
pain, but Notwithstanding this her
suffering was severe until the end 10
hours later.
The little ones remains were buried
Friday afternoon in the CRANKY
burial grounds, south OF Olympia
mill.
Hot branch" is so called because
it's water is heated by the stream
coming out of the exhaust pipes from
the mill engines nearby. Why, If it
is so dangerous, it has not been cover
ed over is a question which will now
likely be Investigated.

some protestation. The stranger
took him to a saloon in Water street,
where they had two glasses Of beer,
and that is the last McDougal re-
mem bered until he found himself off
the English coast on the tramp
steamer St. Herbert bound for Rotter-
dam. From there the steamer went

ashore with s2.25 in his pockets
as wages. Failing to secure assis-
tance from the American counsel at
that place, McDougal worked his way
to LondoD and thence slowed away on
a cattle ship bound for Baltimore.
When four days out, he was arrested
and then the captain on his arrival at
Baltimore, turned him over to the
police, who sent him in few days to
the Franklin, where he was tried by
courtmartial, convicted and SEN
fenced.
Shortly after his release, while in
Norfolk, McDougal met the man who
had Shanghaied him and had him ar
rested. He was Vance McCarty and
kept a boarding house. BE was fined
s1OO for accepting illegal fees. Nc
Dougal now has been restored to good
standing and the navy department. is
considering plans to prevent shang-
haing Of our sailors in coast towns.
