C. Buxton of Winston, N. C., who
attempted to link the divorce evil
with the liquor question.
Mr.. Buxton is the deputy who OF,
the opening day of the convention at
tempted to read a resolution censur-
ing Bishop Henry c. Potter of New
York for opening the Subway saloon.
In his remarks yesterday he express
ed the opinion that it would be bet
ter for the church to curb the liquor
traffic before changing the canons on
marriage. Continuing, he said, "lf
instead Of high official Of the
church lending his influence to the
dedication of Saloons when he was
interrupted by a point of order. Mr..
Buxton was admonished by the chair
man. Still he attempted to make
some reference indirectly to the Sub
way tavern but was promptly called
to order by the chairman. The time
limit of the morning session expired
before MI. Buxton could continue.
James Mcconnell of New Orleans
opposed the adoption of the new
canon in dramatic speech. "In
Gods name," he declared, "how can
church legislate to take away the
pain of the innocent. What right has
any one to change the meaning of
the words in St. Matthews gospel?
Where is a man to expound away the
written word of the Son of God HIM
self"
Rev. T. J. Beard of Birmingham,
Ala, was opposed to the adoption Of
the proposed canon because it COM
promised the church as a teacher.
George Foster Peabody of Brook
lyn thought that all amendments tc
the present canon she uld be voted
down as the church was evidently
emphatically divided on the issue.
The debate was put over until to-
day.

Mondays Action.

The legal question involved in the
quashing of the venire on Monday
morning at the beginning of the Sec
ond week of the special session
of the common pleas court, was
warmly debated by the attorneys. Mr..
T. P. Cothran, attorney for the
Southern, raised the question just as
the case of Miss Marie Werber
against the Southern was about to
be brought up. He was opposed by
George tombstone and F. H. DOM
mick who argued for the continuance
of the session. 1t is stated by a
member of the Newberry bar who
was interested in some of the cases
to come up that MIR. Cothran raised
the question in the face of an agree
ment he had made to have several
railroad cases brought up on Mon
day morning.

A FRIEND OF LABOR.
Judge Parker's Attitude Toward Un-
ions Commended.

Judge Parker's decisions as chief JUS
tice of the court Of appeals upon
questions affecting labor unions and
the rights of individual wage earners
were commended in resolutions
adopted by the Workingmen's Politi-
cal league at meeting held in that
city recently, says the Indianapolis
Sentinel. This organization is an
incorporated state body of represen-
tative union men.
The resolutions express the warm
approval and appreciation of organ
lied labor of Judge Parker's attitude
toward union labor and declare that
"ducing his judicial life he never
struck a blow at labor, but has par
ried many aimed by others and has
made the strongest argument ever
set forth in support Of labor statutes" !"
All of which is beyond question.
Judge Parker has always been alb
solutely just and fair in his treat
nent of all interests. That is what
makes him such splendid candidate
The same quality will make him a
splendid president also.

THE SALUDA KILLING.
Morse Was Shot With Rifle From
Behind-Sensationa De-
veiopnnents.

Saluda, October I2.-Reports OBJ
tainable in the Morse Henderson
homicige are few and very meagre.
Coroner Gibson yesterday empanelled
jury of inquiry. but was delayed un-
til a late hour last night in getting
physician, and when one was OBJ
tanned the wife of the dead man
whose body had been carried home,
absolutely forbade the physician to
touch it. Only one or two witness
es were examined and the inquest
was adjourned until Friday. In the
meanwhile an effort will be made to
get physician to hold post-mor-
tenn examination. and it is said that
the body will be completely disect-
ed.
1t now appears that the killing
smacks more of assassination than
as the result of an open alteration.

gy with Morse at the time of the
shooting, in his testimony said they
met Henderson's wagon in the road
at a place too narrow to pass. The

ANOTHER KILLING.
Saluda Keeps Up Her Reputation
For Murder and Sudden
Death.

Another killing was added to the
already long list summed up to the
credit, or discredit, of Saluda coun-
ty, when Elliot Clarke, a colored
man, was shot by Long Goldson, an
other of the same race.
There were no details of the af-
fair obtainable at a late hour yes
terday afternoon, but it is understood
that the shooting occurred lase We'd
nesday evening, and that Clarke is
either dead or dying.
The affair occurred at George w.
Blacks store, just beyond Wise's
ferry.
Clarke lived on the place of Mr..
H. B. Black, and Goldson was liv-
ing on Mr.. J. A. Blacks place. Gold
son made his escape Immediately af-
ter the shooting and has not been
heard of since.

SALUDA KILLING.
White Men Fight With Shotguns-
M. M. Morse Dead and w. L.
Henderson Injured.

Monday night near Richardsonville,
IN the western part of Salllda coun-
ty, NJ. NJ. Morse was shot and in
stantly killed, and w. L. Henderson
was wounded in the right hand, in
the left arm. and sprinkled with shot
il other parts of the body.
Both parties were white and the
weapons used were shotguns. just
how the affair was started and who
did the shooting which resulted so
tragically will probably never be
Strengthened out. 1t is known that
bad blood has existed between the
dead man and Henderson, and each
has been carrying shotgun for the
other for some time.
Several days ago as Henderson was
travelling the road by Morse's home
Morse came out with gun, and get
ting the drop on Henderson, proceeded
to abuse him in the most violent man
ner. Morse, it will be recalled, is
the man whose home was shot into
some months ago at night. There
after Governor Hayward offered a
reward for the capture of the parties
but nothing ever came of it. From
what can be gathered the basis Of the
trouble seems to have been of a do
mestic nature. A niece of Hender-
son married Morse's son and they
were parted in the early part of the
year. Henderson's brother then went
for his daughter and carried her to
his home. To this action the dead
man took exception and there has
been an almost continual row ever
since, w. L. Henderson being
eventually drawn into the affair.
The night when the killing occur
red Morse and his so1-;n-law, Mike
DeLoach, were returning home from
Edgeheld. They were in buggy
and Morse was carrying his gun. 1t
appears that they met in the center
of the road, and that after few
words the shooting commenced. Just
who the ::tgrr>sor was can not be
ascertained One report is that
Morse was shot two or three times
the fatal shot being fired into the
abdomen. Henderson's right hand
will probably have TO be amputated
and he may lose his left arm.
w. L. Henderson, it will be recall
ed, figured in the first murder trial
ever held in Saluda county, being
tried together with his father and
brother for killing John Buzhardt.
All Of them were acquitted.
Morse, the dead man, it is said, was
unfortunately almost always in broil
with someone, and his tragical tax
ing off is no great surprise. An in
quest was held on Tuesday.

it is stated from the same source
that numerous Russians, under the

Hundreds are being driven by
the flames from the shelter of the

to spread and drive out the Russian
garrison or leave in an untenable po-
sition.
The Japanese have captured two

London, October 13.-The Paris
correspondent of the Exchange tele-

FIVE Japanese cruisers have been
sighted off Vladivostock.
London, October "a dispatch

Fusan, dated October II, says that
during the night the Japanese occu-
pied the hills held by the Russians
on the right and center, the Russians
retreating to a distance of three
miles further back.
St. Petersburg, October 13.-The
Bourse Gazette says that at ten yes
terday morning the Japs retired from
the two lines near Yen Tai and evac-
uated Yen Tai station.
The report goes on to say that the
Japanese right wing is considerably
weakened. 1t had withdrawn dur
ing the night, leaving the Russians
to occupy Pensipo without fighting.
Having thus turned the Japanese
flank the Russians attacked a posi-
ton of great stragetic value and oc-
cupied it after a fierce fight in the
Yen Tai hills. The Japanese stub
born1y resisted but were driven back.

| party drawing the wagon was asked
to draw up a little Thereupon w. L..
Henderson stepped out from the rear
of the wagon and drawing his pis-
tol, said, "God damn you, I have got
you where I have wanted you for
a long time," and fired. Morse i'm
mediately seized his gun and fired
both barrels at Henderson, sirnultan-
eously with Henderson's second shot.
Immediately there was shooting
from Morse's rear
The jury of inquiry viewed the
place where the shooting occurred
and near the edge of the road tracks
were found as if made by some one
in waiting. These tracks led out
across field, and from the appear
ance the party making them was run
ming at full speed Fifty yards away
and in the route of these tracks the
shell of a Krag-Jorgensen bullet
freshly fired was picked up.
From other sources it was learn
ed that the party on the one-horsc
wagon was a negro, Will Culbreath,
whom Henderson was then moving
off Morse's place. A warrant has
been issued for the negro. but he has
not been found.
On clue obtained by some means
the attorney for the state had war
rant issued for Alfred Free, young
white man of about 21 years of age.
It seems 10 be the impression that
he is the party who used the rife.
He was arrested on yesterday even
ing and carried to the inquest, but
last night he disappeared.
An examination of the dead mans
body showed two wounds, one in
front and the other in the rear. The
one in front is supposed to have been
made by pistol and the one in the
rear with a rifle. 1t may develop
that both wounds were made by shots
from the rear going entirely through
the body. A singular coincidence
was the fact that the dead man Morse
and the wounded man Henderson
were both found in the road within
few feet of each other. Henderson
being so badly used up by his wound
that he was unable to get away.
Public sentiment, it is said, is pref
ty strong in the vicinity of the kill
ing and the opinion prevails that
when the facts are brought to light,
if such is ever done, it will be shown
that the killing was an assassina-
ton pure and simple.

Linen ribbon trims a walking hat of
white Japanese straw.
If you can wear wide belt, do SO;
they are very, very stylish.
Champagne pink is a new French
designation for the modish tint.
The cape bolero is one of the de-
signs suited to the linen and other
wash suitfngs.
A touch Of gold is introduced in
nearly all the passementeries, embroid-
cries and laces.
To lend touch of brightness to gray
costumes, dark orange velvet is en-
ployed for garniture.
Some of the newest hat pins are
oval, and in the peacock coloring-
green toning into blue.
With little practice one can pro-
duce a very pretty marcel wave with
an ordinary curling iron.

Do not put your furs away with the

way of doing but helps to ruin the fur.
The practical automobile cap for

dusty country is linen duck of tan

There is new nine-gored skirt with
habit back that flares very prettily
about the feet. If one wants to strap
her skirt this is suitable model.
Wide linen and pique collars are be-
ing very generally worn by young boys
and girls. They brighten up a dark
frock and are very neat on the white
ones.
A novel combination of Partisan
origin is that the crepe de chine and
velvet, the latter as trimming in a
paler tint than the sheer fabric it
adorns.

Making American Citizens

II that useful little weekly paper
called Charities, which very few New
York people ever see, there appeared
recently about twenty articles describ-
ing the progress that has been made
by the Italians in New York City.
There are nearly 100000 Italians in
New York. Fifty thousand of them
are boys and girls in the public
schools. There are 115 doctors, six
ty-three druggists. twenty one lawyers,
fifteen school teachers, nine architects
and seven mechanical engineers.
Nearly all of the Italians in Ameri-
ca come from three provinces in Italy.
At home they were farm laborers,
earning from thirty to forty cents a
Cay, and living in little stone cabins.
Some of the immigrants had small
farms of their own, but the land is
poor and the Italians have nothing to
work it with except spades. Their life
was hand to hand struggle against
starvation and debt.-New York Jour-
nal
