NEGRO BURGLAR SHOT.
Enters House in Laurens County in
Broad Daylight-When Caught
He Opens Fire.

Goldville. June 2.-Laurens county
has another homicide marked against
her, but the coroncr's jury has re-
turned a verdict that the killing to-
day was justifiable. John McMorris,
colored. was killed in the home of Mr.
f. Rhett Crawford by Mr.. John c..
Boyd. The mcgro's purpose there was
robbery.
Mr.. Crawdford conducts store
about three miles from Goldvillc and
for some time has been missing arti-
cles thercfrom. The store adjoins
and is a part Of his residence. He has
observed that the robbcrics had oc-
curred generally on Sundays.
Tod day he prepared a trap for the
thief or thieves. His brothers-in-law,
Mcssl$. John G. Boyd and John L.
Dickcrt, remained in the house while
Mr.. Crawford and his family drove
off to church, after going through
the form of locking up the house.
When the Crawfords were well on
their way to church at Goldvillc John
McMorris came out of the woods and
walked boldly up to the house, taking
a key from his pocket and opening
the door. Once in the dwelling he
would have had no trouble to get in
to the store.
When Mr.. Boyd ordered the negro
to halt and throw up his hands Me-
Morris drew his pistol and fired
twice. Mr.. Boyd returned the fire
with a Winchester rifle and the ne
gro fell at the first shot with bullet
through his brain.
The coroner's jury, which was en-
pancled this afternoon, returned a
verdict Of justifable homicide. Mr..
Boyd regrets the occurrence very
much.
II is believed that others were i'm
plicatcd with McMorris in these rob-
beries.

A COMPOSER AT FIVE
REMARKABLE GIFTS OF A TEN
NESSEE BOY.
Melvin HesseIberg Writes Music and
Stories-Is Extremely Critical and
Will Allow No Changes in
His Works.

Nashville, Tenn.-A e child won
der has been discovered in this city.
| Melvyn Edouard Hesselberg, who is
just turning five years old, already
romposes music and writes stories.
Hesselberg is a name well known in
Nashville, for the child's father is
Edouard Hesselberg, a musician of in
ternational fame.
Mr.. Hesselberg is a Russian, a
~grandnephew of Davidoff, the great
'cellist. He, too, was precocious, for
rs a student in Moscow he was per-
mitted to appear at the famous Phil
harmonic concerts, being the only stu
dent thus honored. When he gradu-
ated he received a gold medal, the
only one rendered to any member of
his class, and performed LISTS IA
nous "Danse Macabre' before a dis
tinguished audience. Hesselberg then
studied the piano with Rubinstein.
Mrs. Hesselberg also is an artist
and a writer, who makes a specially
Of %children's stories in the kinder
garten form. From this artistic
parentage it is easy to see where the
%youngster gets his talent.
Little Hesselberg was born with
melody in his soul. At the age of
three and one-half years he began
humming little melodies, which
seemed to the musical ear of the ia
Their to have originality. He ques-
toned the boy and asked where he
had heard them.
81 just made it up" was the boyish
answer.
Thinking the melody had merely
been an accidental hitting of notes
that went well together, Mr.. Hessel-
berg paid no further attention until he
began observing that the boy remem
bered every note of each melody as

A "Rare Compliment"

Near the Hole In the Wall country,
in Wyoming, there is a peppery old
|cattleman whose range is as dear to
him as his life, and from whose point
of view a sheepman is a pariah. His
nearest neighbor is a strenuous and
belligerant widow VINO keeps sheep.
In consequence the line between their
two ranges is as clearly defined as was
the dead line at Libbey prison.
Upon one occasion, however, the
Widows sheep strayed upon the cattle
mans range and the old rancher's
rage was great. He denounced her as
a ''trollop." This epithet as applied to
herself came to the ears of the widow,
and, vowing vengeance, she hurried
home to search for the word in her die
tionary. But her dictionary knew
naught of "%trollops," so she sent away
for a later edition and had it freighted
in. The new dictionary when it came
was as silent upon the subject of troll
lops" as the old one, 50 the widow sad
| died her horse and rode some twenty
miles to consult a ranchman whose
educational advantages had been SUI
perior to those of her ~neighbors.
He listened attentiveIy while she ex.
planned the circumstances.
And now" she demanded, what
did he mean?. What is a trollop?'
"'Trollop,' madam" he replied
gravely lis a very difficult word to de-
fine. It's meaning is subtle and elu.
sive. It's hard to put into words, but
it's a rare compliment Old Man B
has paid you. In olden days 'trollop'
was a synonymous term of Queen of
Sheba,- but as nea as we can come at
its meaning nowadays the definition
would be The Sheep Queen of Poison
Creek

widow. I've wronged that a I'll
stop and ask Rim over for supper on

Tennessee Child Who Composes
Music and Stories.)

he sang it the first time, and that he
kept them all separate and distinct
in mind and never confused them or
ran them together.
Then little Hesselberg started Civ
ing names to his melodies.
From this time on, Melvyn has been
composing. He is still too young to
read or write, but he dictates the
tunes to his father.
Like all children. he Is very critical,
and will not allow a note of what he
lnvents to be changed. His father has
frequently experimental, and purpose
ly made alterations to see If Melvyn
would detect them. In every CASE the
result has been the same. The boy
has protested instantly and COM
PEELED the air to be played as he had
first written it.
Most of the melodies are good and
show originality. This could hardly
be otherwise, for Melvyn is too young
to have observed and studied the ideas
of others, and that which he produces
must necessarily come entirely from
himself.
His stories are produced in a similar
manner. He gets al idea for a tale,
thinks it over. and then dictates it to
his mother. Afterward she reads it to
him, and he expresses every satisfac-
ton, provided. 1t Is. Identical with the
