killing Near Chester.

Chester, March ga very horri-
bic murder was committed here yes
terday after noon at the Wylie Cot
ton Mills. The victim was Langdon
l.. Boozer, salesman of the mill
store. The slayer was w. e. Perry,
an operative in the mill. The affair
grew out of the settlement of an ac-
count due by Perry at the store.
Saturday was pay day at the mill.
Perry's account was deducted by
Boozer in the settlement. Perry
went to the mill yesterday and
claimed ia boisterous and threaten.
ing way that he did not owe the
amount charged against him. He
attempted to draw tho salesman into
a personal difficulty; invited him to
come outside the store, saying that
he wanted to eight it out" This
Boozer refused to do, saying that the
matter had been settled right. Perry
returned TO the store and imme-
diately upon entering the building
opened fire on Boozer. Two shots
were fired, the second taking effect
near the heart and causing almost in
slant death. The slayer has not been
arrested.

Free Trips No More.

Columbia, March 2S.-It will be inter
esting to note that under the terms of
the Act passed at the recent session of
the Gen eral Assembly the position OF
messenger for election returns'' has
been abolished This may blast the
hopes of some who have ambition in the
direction of being especial messengers'
and receiving So per day and cents per
mile for each mile travelled. Under the
new law election returns must be for
warded by mail and duplicate copies by
express. The idea of sending returns
by messengers is no doubt one of the
old customs established long before cars
were operated and before the mails and
the express companies offered safety for
the transmission of papers.

wALHALLA, 8. G. (.
Oyama Begins to Talk.

Field Marshal Oyama on March %
gave out to a correspondent the first
interview since coming into the field.
He refused to discuss the probability
of peace. 81 am only soldier" he
said, "not politician. The Japa-
nese government will arrange terms
OF peace when the time comes. We
were forced to fight this war in the
interests of international peace and
for the safety of our country. Per-
sonally, l have a high regard for
Russians. They are soldiers. The
officers and men are brave and able
and have fought we'll. During the
war between China and Japan 1 was
the commander of the army which
captured Port Arthur. With q
division and half of troops we took
the city in five hours. The result
ithis time shows the wonderful differ
enoe between the Russians and the
Chinese with whom we had previous
experience. But our army, both SOL
diers and officers, performed their
duty as japan knew they would. I
was minister of the war for Japan
for 16 years, during which time con-
scription laws were passed. l have
closely watched the making of the
Japanese army, which has proved
what l say, that the officers and the
men have fulfilled every hope, as 1
believed they would, as in the older
days when the Japanese army was
composed of the Samuri, professional
fighting men. The modern army
was drafted from all classes, yet all
our hopes have been fully realized by
the work this army has done in
actual war"
Field Marshal Oyama declined to
discuss the future movements or
plans of the japanese army. He in
timated that he was ready to con.
tinue the war as long as necessary.
Despite the report to the contrary,
Field Marshal Oyama's health is
excellent. With his staff he is COM
fortably qrartered in fine Chinese
houses placed at his disposal by the
Chinese viceroy.

$1,276 Trunk.

The Supreme Court has rendered
decision affirming the decree of the
lower court in the suit brought by
Mrs. Jane w. Adger against the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company.
While returning from the mountains
to Charleston Mrs. Adger's trunk
was lost, the supposition being that
it was stolen while in the possession
of the railroad. AT the trial in An.
derson verdict for ,276 was rem
dered, which was regarded as the
actual value of the property. Coun-
sci for the Blue Ridge railroad ap-
pealed, but by Justice Gary's opin-
ion the amount will have to be paid.
One reason for contesting the suit
advanced by the railroad was that
the trunk was shipped via the Blue
Ridge, while the owner took passage
over. the Southern for Charleston,
going from Seneca via Spartanburg.

Roosevelt and Diaz.

Efforts are being made by local par
ties, we'll known in Washington and
the city of Mexico, to bring about a
meeting between President Roose-
welt and President Diaz, when the
former comes TO the Southwest this
month. 1t would be customary for
President Diaz to secure leave of
absence from Congress to depart
from Mexico, but no such formality
would be necessary if meeting be-
tween the two Executives could be
brought about.
In the event of meeting being
arran ged, the TWO Presidents would
grasp hands on the international
bridge over the Rio Grande river,
each remaining on his respective side
of the boundary line.

April Shortage Of Cotton.

Columbia, March 30.-There is a
feeling among cotton buyers here
that the mills in this state will suffer
from shortage of cotton in April.
According to carefully gathered
figures the mills in this State will
need about 100000 bales within the
next 30 days. There is said to be
already such shortage in Georgia
and Alabama with the result that
prices are better in both these States
than they are in South Carolina. The
situation is expected to force up the
price>here in April to 81 or 10 cents.
Much cotton has been warehoused
throughout the State in anticipation
of higher prices, but it is thought
there is still larger quantity being
held on the farms.

Two nsn Commit sulolde Together.

Henry L. Woodward, an attorney
of New York oity, and Charles A,
Broux, a travelling sales,nan for the
National Supply Co., of Toledo,
Ohio, committed suicide in their
rooms at the Hollenden Hotel,
Cleveland, Ohio, sometime during
the night of March 27, or on the
morning OF March %. Their bodies
were found in the afternoon. The
coroner's verdict in each case gives
dependency over domestic and busi-
ness troubles as the cause of the sui
cides. Both men had used pistol
and had sent a bullet into their
heads in almost the same spot.
A number of letters were found in
Woodward's possession from his
wife in New York, which showed
that Woodward evidently had been
suffering from dependency. Their
contents were affeotionate in tone
and pleaded for Woodward's return
home and for reply to the letters.
The number of letters showed that
there had been two or tbree day.
So far as is known there was nc
agreement between the two men to
end their lives, although it is said
that they had been seen together in
the lobby of the hotel. Brouz's
home was at Wadsworth, Ohio.

Highwaymen In Virginia.

Benjamin Haley and Noah F.
Lumpkin, both white men, were
placed in Jail at Danville, Va, and
were sent to Halifax county for trial
last week, charged with unlawfully
holding in captivity and extorting
money from G. V. Clark, j. j.
Thompson and G. HI. Lewis, cadets
at the Danville Military Institute.
The cadets were held up at the
point of a gun at their camp on Dan
river by the men, who represented
themselves to be officers of the
county, and forced them to pay the
sum of eighty dollars. The cadets
were held by their captors over Sun
day. Upon being released they re-
turned to the city and instituted an
investigation, which resulted in the
arrest of the two men. Lumpkin
had his portion of the money in his
possession when arrested. The hold
up occurred in Halifax county.
