DISGRACE and Death.
White Man Kills Himself in Conse-
quence of Domestics Disgrace.

John Langley, IS years old, white,
committed suicide Sunday morning at
9 O'Clock behind his barn near Boy
kins, in Kershaw county, by shooting
himself through the bead with 80
calibre pistol.
It will be remembered that Aaron
Williams, a negro, It is charged, COM
mitted an assault upon his wife about
two weeks ago. The negro us in the
Camden Jail
Mrs. Langley, it is said, did not
report the outrage to her husband until
a week after its occurrence, fearing
that she would be killed, she said.
After Langley was told, it is further
said, he worked along with the negro
for two days, when crowd was organ
lied for the purpose Of lynching Will
liams. Just before the negro was to
be strung up, Langley, it is claimed,
asked him where was that money he
had plowed up in the spring? This
disgusted them and the negro was
turned loose.
1t was reported that the negro had
plowed up a pile of money on his
place in the spring, and the Langleys
we're anxious to get hold Of some of
it. No one ever knew how much
money the negro had or where it was
hidden.
It is also reported that when the
crowd went to the negro's house and
they found Mrs. Langley there tlook-
ing for the money.

and the game was close and exciting
up to the conclusion OF the 9th inning,

according to the rules of the game,
Magnolia claimed the game by score
9 to o. Host Of the Gainesville team

The game was played for all it vas
worth up TO the conclusion, as there
was quite a number of the prettiest

under the peculiar circumstances with
some of the boys, there was tendency
to nervousness. Come back again,

How We Bought Oar
Christmas Presents

Copyright. 1g04. by e. u. E~thenngton.1
~OHN and I were. married and
went to housekeeping just after
Christmas. John didn't earn
very big wages then. and. al
| though, our needs were not m many
as they are now. still they We're needs
and had to BE- paid for. So we decided
to begin In n small way.
We rented only one room. but in Chi
cago the rent for one room was A.
much az for a whole house In the lit.
tie country village where I came from.
How We did enjoy furnishing that
room! 1t was a large room. and
corner Of II. where my cupboard and
my oil stove were, I ~curtained OF for
No Kitchen. and there was plenty Of
space left for the folding bed and tho
lew chairs which we had.
Our walls looked bare. I had only
one picture. a branch Of Alacs, and
they booked 80 natural sou could al
most smell them.
I'VE must buy some pictures" said
John.
mot just get" said I. "wait Z IT.
tie. We can't get everything at once"
And the next day when John came
home from his work he stopped in the
door in surprise and delight. 4 had
tackled here and there on the wall clus.
tiers. Of bright eolored autumn leaves
which I had gntherpl and pressed the
fall before.
"Don't you think now We can wait
till next year for pictures. Joln?" !
asked.
.Whys it's ten times prettier than
pictures. SUSIE" he exclaimed as be
caught mo In his arms.
And itscost only ) cents for the
tacks." said I.
It is surprising how little ran please
~ when We have hut little. I do b.
iieve We enjoyed those bright leaves
better than $15 worth, Of pictures.
Well. we got along swimmingly. BY
thinking a little before we bought We
luade Johns wages cover everything.
We agreed together that VIC would not
buy 4 single article till VIC had the
money to ray for It. Sometimes We
had to 90 without things We wanted
for severnI weeks, hut waiting Tor

Well. the months went by till De-
cember. and the Saturday before
Christmas ! went to the bank and
drew out my small deposits. l had
kept two accocnts-the cigar fund and
the table fund. ! called them. The
cigar fund was just $29.4O and my tn
bic fund "a $2l.ai2. Could l believe
my own eyes: 1t fairly made me dizzy.
Over so to spend for Christmas! This
was what ] had been dreaming. about
ever since last February!
My feet scarcely touched the pave
ment IN the way home. I sang all the
while ! was getting supper. Would
John come? At last l heard his
step. How his feet dragged! What
could be the matter:
"Do you know next Monday II

voice that he turned and looked at me.
'Susic, | wish l were rich."
"Why. John. aren't we comfortable,
and isn't It better to enjoy what we
have than To our over YbafaMe

John still looked gloomiiy into the
crate. Brown stopped me tonight to

than there was In ours. How far q llt-

carefully: We were surprised at the
things It bought. There were s0mQ
books for John that he had been wish

my sewing. and there were q new dress
and a pair Of gloves for me and q set
Of silver teaspoons. and there were an
overcoat for John and a pair Of slip
pers and a big easy chair, and there
wal a fine big chicken for the Christ

to 90 with II, and a few candles and
nuts to make II seem like a holiday.
And after everything was bought that
we had been needing we stiIl had $50
left.
