SUICIDE AT FORT MILL.

DR.. D. G. Thompson, a well-known
young physician, Of Fort Mill, COM
mitted suicide in a vacant lot near
his home in that town at about 1.30
o'clock yesterday morning by cutting
his throat with q razor.
1t appears that DR.. Thompson had
been working hard all the day before
and had visited number Of patients.
He returned home shortly after 1
o'clock and asked his wife for razor,
explaining that his corns were hurting
and that he desired to trim them.
Upon procuring the razor, he went
out the back piazza, turning on. the
light as he went and nothing more
was heard Of him for perhaps half an
an hour.
Mrs. Thompson, having begun to
grow uneasy in the meantime went
out to the piazza; but seeing nothing
of her husband aroused a lady board
er and the two instituted search
of the premises, until the sound Of
groaning led them to their quest.
They found DR.. Thompson crouched
against the fence with his life blood
oozing from a CHASTITY wound in his
throat AS soon as possible they
summoned help, including physicians;
but the jugular vein had been severed
and death followed within a short time
afterward.
DR.. David Glenn Thompson was a
son Of the late E. D. Thompson, Of
the Point section Of this county, and
settled in Fort Mill, soon afer pro-
curing his license to practice medicine
some eight or ten years ago. He was
not slow in building up a good prac-
tice; but in the course Of time lost
much of what he had gained as the
result Of the failure Of his health,
brought about, 1t is understood by
overwork and the drug habit.
Dr. Thompson was about twenty
eight years Of age. He was married
about six years ago to Miss Effie,
daughter Of the late T. G. Culp, and
his married life has been entirely hap
py, both he and his wife enjoying to an
unusual degree, the confidence, respect
and esteem Of all their acquaintances.
Dr. Thompson was a Mason, Odd
Fellow, Knight Of Pythias and Wood
man Of the World. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon.

Thirteen YEAR locUSTS.

The department Of agriculture is
notifying residents Of Aiken, Ander-
son, Chester, Greenville, Laurens,
Oconee, Orangeburg, Pickens, Spar
tanburg, Union and York counties to
look out for the thirteen year locust
which will appear in those communi-
ties within the next few days and on
through June.
It Is to lessen alarm among those
who may not understand the coming
of the locust at this time that C. L.
Marlatt, entomologist in the depart
ment Of agriculture, makes this state
ment of what the locust is, how it's
appearance after thirteen years alb
sence is accounted for, and what its
damage may amount to. This locust
will occur in the counties named the
latter part of this month and in June
throughout the southern states east
of Texas, except Florida, northward
to the Mississippi and Ohio valleys,
through Missouri to southeastern
Iowa, and over most of central and
southern Illinois and extreme south
western Indiana. This brood covers
also western Kentucky and more or
less of Tennessee, with extensions
northward across the Carolinas in
Virginia.
The brood this year is the largest
of the thirteen-year broods of this
curious insect. The first record Of
it relates to its occurrence in 1903, and
it has been reported at every thirteen
year period since that year to the
date of last appearance, in 1904. A
great many records have been obtain
ed on the previous years when 1t ap-
peared, and notably on the three last
return periods; but in all the recent
instances when it has been studied
carefully it has come in conjunction
with some brood of the northern sew
enteenth year race and there has
been some overlapping of territory.
Necessarily, therefore, there exists
some uncertainty as to the records
falling in territory covered by both
races. In 1907 this thirteen-year

SATURDAYS RAIN

There was a gully washing rain last
Saturday. 1t began to fall at about 8
O'Clock in the afternoon, at first in a
gentle sprinkle and later in a heavy
downpour, continuing altogether for
some two hours, or more.
The rain was particularly heavy in
Yorkville, the drains along the side
walks being filled to their capacity,
and all the numerous brooklets that
serve to drain the town being swelled,
for the time being, into veritable riv-
ers. There was more or less damage
to some of the gardens but it was
not considerable.
As far as reports have been receiv-
ed the downpour appears to have
been quite general throughout the
country. Branches became creeks, and
creeks became rivers. The rows in
newly plowed cotton and corn lands
were broken, and much damage was
done to corn along the watercourses.
Fishing creek is said by people who
saw it at the Charlotte road bridge
to have been higher than since April
1902. and further down the stream in
the vicinity of the Glenn & Allison
and Hughes plantations, it was almost
deep enough to float a battleship. The
lower bridge" at the Charlotte road
was washed away, and the water was
within IL few feet Of the top Of the fill
at the new bridge, forty or fifty yards
up the creek. Great slues were cut
the corn fields along the
course of the stream and long banks
of sand were left in the bottoms

brood will occur without any northern
or seventh year brood, and all Of the
records can probably be safely as
signed to the former, so that 1t should
be possible this year to clear up any
uncertainty as to its distribution.
This periodical locust is so we'll
known that a general account Of 1t Is
unnecessary. When 1t appears in
great numbers 1t naturally causes con-
siderable alarm and arouses fears for
the safety Of fruit and shade trees.
The actual damage, however, Is in
many cases slight, except in the case
Of newly planted orchards.
Many people who have gone to
farming since the thirteen year To-
Gusts last made their appearance will
undoubtly be alarmed at their ap-
pearance this year, and 1t Is for this
purpose that the officials Of the de-
partment of agriculture are now try
ing to assure people generally that
there Is little harm to be expected
from their summer visit this year. AS
stated, they will probably appear in
the territory named the last few days
in this month and through June, grad
ually disappearing as June goes out.
The locusts are reported to have
already appeared in Lancaster and
Pickens; but up to this time The
Enquirer has no information Of such
an appearance in York. 1t quite
probable however, that they may have
already arrived.

ASKS FOR RESTRAINING ORDER.

The Carolina and North Western
railroad, through its attorneys, Messrs.
VIM. A. Barber and J. H. Marion, are
proceeding In the United States circuit
court for the western district Of North
Carolina with view to securing an
order of injunction against the North
Carolina railroad commission ir the
application of the rate law recently en-
acted by the general assembly Of North
Carolina
In the bill Of complaint is set forth
a detailed statement showing the
gross and net earnin'.s of the road as
a whole and in that part located in
North Carolina, and making it appear
that while the road Is now able 10 pay
its fixed charges and have left over a
small surplus applicable to contin-
gencies and Improvements, that IL the
operation of the new law Is not inter-
fered with, the revenues Of the road
will be reduced to an aggregate
amount, inadequate by several thou
sand dollars, to meet fixed charges.
The proceedings have been COM
menced in the form of a bill Of COM
plaint in equity, and the court, after
being fully advised as to the condition
of the road, the showing being ex
parte, Of course, is asked to grant a
restraining order to hold until the
matter can be settled upon its merits
The Southern and the Atlantic Coast
Line roads had previously moved in
the same case and the probability Is
that the Seaboard Air Line and other
roads will institute proceedings look
ing to relief along the same line.

McIaughlin not only undertook to
gather evidence himself, but detailed
men from headquarters to work on the
case, not as city officers, but as private
detectives. These men made every ef-
fort to get evidence, but were unable
to secure anything of very damaging
nature to Mrs. Gould's character.
Several weeks ago when the open rup-
ture between Mr. and Mrs. Gould be-
came public, she began to make
charges against her husband, claiming
among other things that the city de-
tective bureau was being used for pri-
vate purposes. Police Commissioners
Bingham then began an investigation
of these charges and Mrs. Gould has
been able to come forward with evil
dence sufficient to convict Mclaughlin
in the commissioners investigation.
The detective captain saved himself
from prosecution last Friday night by
asking Commissioner Bingham to re-
tire him on pension, to which he was
entitled by reason of having passed
the age limit He was retired prompt
ly. Then Mrs. Gould come forward
with more evidence secured by her de-
tectives who had been watching Mr..
Gould's detectives to the effect that a
plot was on foot a short time ago to
drug her and put her away from the
scene Of action. This evidence was
furnished by the notorious Abe Hum
mel, the convicted lawyer who is serv-
ing time at Blackwell's Island, who
was at one time Mrs. Gould's attorney.
Mrs. Gould played another trump card
last Saturday by alleging that she is
to furnish evidence that her
mail has. been tampered with presum-
ably on the orders Of her husband. II
this is proven then the postoftice de-
uartment will take a hand. Numbers
of persons who have been employed by
Gould to get evidence and to swear to
things damaging to his wife have dis
and are being looked for by
police officers and detectives.
