their arrival, some short time before

A SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.

innocent People in DANCER, as Both Men were
Bad Shots or Badly Scared.
A sensational shooting affair between
DR.. Rowland z. Smith, formerly of this
city, and Mr.. T. NJ. Brown, well known
lumber man of Chaplin, occurred at that
place Yesterday morning. Both men, 1t
is said, emptied their guns at each other
Int neither of them was hit. The shoot
ing occurred as the train from Laurens
over the Columbia, Newberry and Laur'
eus.railroad was leaving the station, and
it is alleged to be the result OF the rela'
t;ens between DR.. Smith and the wife OF
Mr.. Brown.
Il is said by those who saw the shoot
ing that DR.. Smith was boarding the
train on its way to Columbia when Mr..
Brown opened fire on him from the side
OF the track. The doctor dashed into the
baggage car and returned the fire through
the door. The passengers on the train
were greatly alarmed by the hrlng' out
no one was hurt.
DR.. Smith continued on the train ana
came as far as Irmo, where he stopped
and, it is said. went back through Chapln
IN the next train in that direction, and
went on in the direction of Laurens. Mrs.
Brown left Chaplin on the night before
the shooting and went from there to
Laurens.
Rpmor has it that DR.. Smith and Mrs.
Brown have been connected by gossip for
some time, but that on Wednesday they
we're seen together walking in the woods
and it was this and the subsequent de-
parture of Mrs. Brown that brought the
matter to crisis yesterday.
The affair was reported to President
Childs of the Columbia, Newberry and
Ianrens railroad soon after the arrival OF
the train in this city. Mr.. Childs investi-
gated the matter carefully and announced
Yesterday afternoon that he would place
the case in the hands of the attorney Tor
the company with a view to having both
narties arrested for firing into and from
the train. He was indignant that the
passengers on the road should have been
submitted to this danger, and seems de-
termined to bring the case into the courts.
DR.. Smith is a son of Capt. G. N. Smith
of this city, the local agent Of the Allan.
tic Coast Line. He is about % years of
AGE and is married man. Mr.. Brown is
from Virginia and is connected with the

Young Richmond TwirIer Now With
Jessur's Team at Marion, Says They
Can't Be Stopped When Hoodoo is
Killed.

VIII Horn returned to his home in
this city yesterday on a short vaca-
ton. This season he is on the pitch
ing staff of Jessup's Marion Interstate
League team. Horn is in splendid
condition and states that he never
felt better in his life. I've got all
kinds of steam this year, but of late
have been in hard luck. Things
can't always break bad for me, how
ever" he remarked last night. Up
to date Horn has record of six vic
tories and seven defeats, but the
games he has lost have been by small
margins in the majority of cases.
According to Horn, the Marion team
would now be in first place, but for a
series of misfortunes. Pitcher Rey-
nolds, who formerly twirled for the
old Entire Nous team, is in the hospit-
al, suffering with two broken ribs as
a result of a collision with Jessup,
and the little manager has only re-
Gently broken into the game again
after being laid up from the results
of his collision with Reynolds. Other
members of the team have also met
with accidents and at one time it was
necessary to play three of the four
pitchers in the outfield. Marion is
now rapidly forging to the front
again, and it is expected will soon dis
lodge Flint from the top of the per-
centage column.

CONTROL OF ENERGY.
n 1t Possible For the Human Race

u 1t Possible For the Human Race
to Avert Extinctions
The only conceivable way in which
the human intelligence can ever sue
eeed in averting the procession Of the
great year" Is not by postponing the
Issue, but by reversing the process.
The question Is this: While energy Is
being dissipated in accordance with
the natural law, can we so manipulate
things as to accumulate energy, max
ing the unavailable available-notwith-
standing the fact that cosmic processes
seem to be essentially irreversible?
Now there is assuredly no inherent
reason why we should not accomplish
this. 1t Is true that hitherto all the
atomic evolution that has been OBJ
served Is atomic disintegration. We
may speak now, indeed, Of the analysis
of the elements. But so it was, we
may remember, that the older chem
istry began, and yet analytic chemis-
try was the precursor of synthetic
chemistry. We began by breaking up
compounds, but now we can make
them-can, indeed, make compounds
hitherto unknown In nature. Similar
ly, 1t is more than probable that we
shall ere long learn to achieve the
synthesis of the elements as we'll as
their analysis. No energy is ever lost
Even when the radium atom, itself the
child of the uranium atom, breaks
down and dissipates its energy, ending,
1t Is supposed. as the dull atom of lead,
the original energies are not destroyed.
Why should they not be gathered up
again and thus again become avail
able? Are matter and energy to go on
their way, ultimately destroying the
human race? For myself, incline to
the view that victory will rest at last
with mans unconquerable mind

An old time way of proving ones
right to the payment of money loaned
was by tally sticks. A plain stick was
used. and when a man loaned a sum a
stick was broken, and the creditor and
debtor each took n part. When the
time for payment came the man who
had the stick which fitted exactly to
the stick held by the creditor received
the money. Two sticks never break
in exactly the same shape. so there
was never any dispute about who had
a right to the money.
