Miss Laura Combs. Soprano for the
Jacoby Concert Company.

Miss Combs has a voice that is es-
sentially suited to oratorio works be-
ing musical sympathetic and full of
volume, and one whose intonation is
absolutely true She certainly pos
sesses gifts which are not bestowed on
every singer. Her appearance is IN
in every pose. Possessing a pure So
prano, of ample power and unusual
range. she has made her tones so fiex-
ible, and has acquired such agility
and smoothness by careful study, that
as an artful vocalist she quickly COM
mends herself to critical hearers.
The former patrons of these enter
tainments seem to appreciate the val
ues offered. The pledges for this sea-
son have already reached 900 tickets
and there is no doubt the number will
reach 1000 by Monday evening
In the almost three weeks that are
to follow before the opening number.
it is more than probable that the
number is doubled, if. the house is nos
entirely sold out.

NOT GUILTY OF EMBEZzLEMENT
Former Station Agent at Greer's Soor
Acquitted.

GREENv1LLE, May 15.-The jury
in the case of T. M. Hill, who was
under Indictment for the embezzle-
ment of $4,000 from the Southern
Railway, while he was station agent
at Greer's, returned a verdict of not
guilty after being out ten minutes.
The case was brought on evidence
given by Railway Auditor Lowrey,
who inspected Hills books in JAN
uary, 1905, and the case has just
come up for trial. Hill was award
ed the position as station agent by
the Southern as a reward for his re-
fusal to turn over to highwaymen
money which belonged to the com
pany when they attacked and shot
him several times, in October, 1901
and he was, until the auditing Of, his
books, a trusted and esteemed en-
ployee of the road.

Carmichael's Body Found.

MULLINS, May 18.-Reliable infor'
nation was received here this after.
noon to the, effect that the body OF
Mayo Carmichael, the negro who at.
tempted to commit a criminal assault
upon the 12-year-old daughter of Mr..
John Sawyer, who resides about
three miles from this town, on the
9Th instant, was found today literally
mutilated by bullets. A negro wo-
man fishing in Buck swamp to-day
discovered the CHASTITY form in lake
of the swamp and upon investigation
the body proved to be that Of Car
michael, the story of whose attempt
ed crime was published in The State
on the following day.
No inquest has yet been held over
the body and it remains where it
was found, the negroes who located
it being afraid to move it.
Some excitement prevails, as the
negroes seem very much incensed
over the affair.

Adam Frost Dies at Age of III.

SPARTANBURG, May 15.-Adam
Frost, colored, said to be ,127 years
old, died early this morning in the
county between Cedar Springs and
Rich Hill. Until within the last few
days Adam Frost was in the best of
health. According to his,own story,
given a newspaper man few weeks
ago, Adam Frost was born on Sulli-
vans island in 1780. His first owner
was a man named Hunter, who sold
him to Col. Drayton. Before the civil
war he was bought by DR.. Frost and
the old negro lived with the Frost
family until after the war.
During the civil war the family of
DR.. Frost refugeed to this county
and located at Cedar Springs. The
old building that was formerly used
as the colored institute for the deaf ,
dumb and blind at Cedar Springs was
built by DIR. Frost. When the Frost
family returned to Charleston Adam
remained in this county.

GILr1ORE DIES OF HIS WOUNDS.
Shooting ARRAY at Jonesvllle Fatal to
One Participant.

UNION, May 16.-Sims w. Gilmore,
who was shot five times late yester-
day afternoon by James w. Gallman,
at Jonesville, died at noon today.
There are numerous and conflicting
accounts of the shooting, persons who
claim to have been eye-witnesses to
the tragedy differing materially from
each other, and from an ante-mortem
statement by the deceased.
In this statement Gilmore stated
that he was sitting on the doorsteps
of Hames & Scott store with another
man named Webber; that Gallman
went into the store, passing between
Gilmore and Webber; that he came
out again; that after coming out Call
man asked Gilmore if he had told
Price that he, Gallman, had stolen
seven COWS; to this question, Gilmore
stated he answered no, whereupon
Gallman, he said, called him a liar,
and Gilmore returned in kind Then
according to this statement, Gallman
opened fire and continued firing till
his revolver was empty.
Five bullets took effect in Gilmore S
body, one in each breast, one in the
centre of his stomach and one on each
side of the stomach lower down.
Gilmore, after receiving these
wounds, seized Gallman, who is small,
wrenched the now empty pistol from
his grasp and almost beat Gallman's s
head into pulp with the butt end of
the revolver. This was done probably
before the wounds had affected Gil
more's strength. Gallman is badly in
jured but it is not thought his wounds
are serious.
Gilmore was about 43 years old and
has lived near Santuc until recently,
when he moved to Jonesville, where
he resided, very close to the man who
shot him.
There has been for many months
very great unpleasantness and bitter
ness between the two men, arising
out of the persistent reports to the
effect that Gallman had burned one
or two barns for Gilmore. Gallman
was very restive under these reports,
which no one believed, and deeply re-
sented them. Gallman was mayor
of Jonesville a few years ago, and a
leading merchant there, but now lives
a short distance out of town.
Gilmore was a widower> and leaves
several children.
The tragedy is deeply regretted as
both parties are widely known and
liked. -
An inquest is now being held.
