To the Editor of the Dispatch:
On Sunday afternoon this section
was visited by heavy down pour o1
rain accompanied by sharp lightning
and heavy rolling thunder. The hard.
est of the fall lasted about an hour,
and then drizzled on into the night
AS result streams were swollen, and
small grain and corn On the low lands
are ruined where covered with water,
Crops generally are small owing to
the cool weather, and cotton fields in
the distance still look bare.
Small grain is fine and the early
sowing is being cut and housed.
Gardens are fine, dewberry crop is
on, to be succeeded by the never fail
ing, ever bearing blackberry.
The small boy is happy these days
with his popgun and chinabery balls.
The simmering song of politics can
be occasionally heard in these parts,
although it is thought by some that
the old Dutch Fork will not furnish
her full crop of candidates for the
fast approaching campaign. Most of
our local politicians are delighted at
the news that comes from the south
side of the river that ex-senator
Sharpe will be along with the boys
this summer, and all are agreed that
he is sure winner. Watch Billy
tickle the boys.
W. P. Eleazer and son, Albert, of
Columbia, spent Sunday with his
mother at Spring Hill.
Ed. L. Eleazer is now rusticating in
the mountains around Asheville, tax

Miss Lula Eleazer will return home
Tuesday from Cokesbury, where she
has been attending the Cokesbury
Conference school.
Mrs. r. w. NJ. EleaZer is spending
few days at her fathers home near
White Rock.
DR.. J. w. Eargle is having his resi-
dence painted. Mr.. Charley Parker,
of Columbia, is doing the work.
The reunion is over and the veterans
who attended are still praising Co.
lumbia for the splendid treatment
they received at her hands. "Hurrah
for Columbia" is still heard. "She
out did herself'' in showing tender
care for the men who forty-five years
ago assembled at their respective
county seats and other places in an
swer to the call of the governor of the
State. Fort Sumter had been fired
on and the opening scene in the great
drama of war that subsequently, shook
the continent had been enacted, and
the North and South were rushing to
arms. Uno.

ASSASSIN TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE
Manuel Morales, Chief Suspect in
Bomb Outrage Against King Alfonso,
Adds Another Victim to His List Be-
fore Committing Suicide.

Madrid, June 3.-The capture and
suicide Saturday night at Torrejon de
Ardos of Manuel Morales, the chief
suspect in the bomb outrage against
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria,
adds another dramatic chapter to the
incidents surrounding the royal we'd
ding.
Morales was recognized in the little
town of Torrejon de Ardos, midway
between Madrid and Alcala.
It was 8 o'clock Saturday evening
when Morales, disguised as working
man, entered the station at Torrejon
de Ardos. He asked when the next
train would depart for Barcelona and
then sought food in a nearby shop.
His Catolonion accent attracted at
tention and his clothes, face and man
ners indicated man of some distinc-
ton.
A private watchman from neigh
boring estate recalled the descriptions
of the b-thrower and noticed that
q finger on the mans left hand, which
the stranger was trying to conceal,
was badly hurt, and that there was a
small fresh scar ON his forehead. The
stranger sought to take road leading
into the country, but the watchman
intercepted him and demanded to
know his identity. Morales declined
to give this, whereupon guard arrest
ed him. Instantly Morales drew a
revolver from his pocket and fred, the
guard falling dead. Morales started
up the road, but small group of
villagers had barred his passage. Then
tnrning, he deliberately pointed the
weapon to his heart, fred and pitched
forward in the roadway. In his pock-
cts were $50 in money and small
supply of bread and cheese. When
the governor of Madrid arrived with
Senior Cuesta, Identification was i'm
mediate and positive. The body was
then brought to Madrid. At Torrejon
de Ardos the villagers indignantly re-
fused to permit the body to repose in
their town.
Villagers of Torrejon de Ardos say
Morales appeared greatly fatigued and
fell asleep on bench in the station.
At the inn he called for dinner, but
scarcely tasted a morsel. The loqua-
cious proprietress of the inn discussed
the prevailing topic of the throwing
of the bomb at Madrid, declaring it
was heinous crime. The stranger
shifted nervously, saying everyone
has his own ideas, which should be
respected" Shortly after this he
tried to leave the town.
When Morales shot himself Fran
cisco Martinez, heading the crowd,
saw in the moonlight Morales making
a desperate effort to raise himself on
his elbow, his right hand still grasping
the revolver. Then the wounded man
fell backward, but the villagers waited
Is minutes before going closer, fearing
that he might still be able to use the
weapon. They found Morales dead.
There were three abrasions on the
body besides the death wound-one
on the head, one under the left eye
and one on the forehead. His disguise
was complete.
The body of Morales was exposed
this afternoon to allay public indigna-
ton. Thousands of persons surged
before the municipal morgue seeking
to get in line to be admitted to the
room where the body lay, but cavalry
and infantry blocked the efforts of the
