Killinr ct Beach Island.

Aiken, Nov. 22.-Julia Hammond,
the 17-year-old negro girl, who has
been detained in the county jail here
pending the coroner's investigation
into the killing of Major Bryant, also
colored, on last Monday near Beech
Island, will be released on $500 bond.
From the investigation it was shown
that the Hammond girl and Bryant
were visitors at the home of Julia
May Watkins, the latter being the
only eyewitness to the accident. The
girl picked up breech-loading gun
which was the property Of one of the
inmates of the Watkins house and
playfully pointed the same toward
Bryant, who then also took hold Of
the gun and a friendly scufie ensued
ending in the discharge of the con-
tents of the gun into the trunk of
Bryant. Bryant fell to the floor
and died a few moments afterwards.
His body had been inferred before
Coroner Owens had been notified, in
view of which fact together with the
circumstances connected with the
case, an inquest was not held. How
ever, the coroner made thorough
investigation and has arrived at the
conclusion that Bryant, came to- his
death by the accidental discharge of
the gun in question.

Of infant mortality. How largely this
is preventable is shown by an expert
ment of the mayor of Huddersfeld,
England. He offered a prize of S. for

Office, which lived at least II months.
Though several epidemics occurred,
the mortality was reduced from 122
per thousand to "A, largely by the aid
of women who instructed mothers in
sanitary matters. While maternal
ignorance and carelessness are thus
shown to be important factors, another
one is of prime Importance = the

long been established that intestinal
troubles caused by improper food
(chiefy cows milk account for the
largest number of deaths of infants

uuently suggested that a great i'm
provement could be effected by sub
shutting the milk of goats for that of
COWS. A plea for goats milk is con-
tributed by DR.. William Wright to
The Lancet. He points out its great
superiority in the three essential points
of cleanliness, digestibility, and free
dom from disease germs. Among the
130, 600 goats and kids brought to
Paris for slaughter every year, the

for weight, the goat yields twice as
much milk as the COW, and if the
animals are properly fed, their milk
has no flavor to distinguish it from
cows milk.
