Lured to His Death by Girl.
Tcstifies in Murder Trial She
Was Paid to Act as De-
coy.

Lenoir, N. c.. Mar. -"They
gave me money to lure Lawrence
to the place to kill him." testi-
fled Omey Greer, a fifteen-year-
old mountian girl, in the trial OF
John Vickers and Hamp Ken
dali for the murder of Lawrence
Nelson, last November, in tn e
mountains, four or five miles
from this place.
Miss Greer was put on the
witness stand by the state, and
testified that she and friend OF
hers were with Vickers and Ken
dallthe night of the murder;
that Kendall and Vickers had
given her money to lure Law
renee Nelson, of whom Vickers
and Kendall were jealous, to
camp fire in the mountains,
where Kendall and Vickers we're

sently heard "a shot fired. She

dali told her that if she ever
mentioned what occurred that
night they would kill her too.
All the evidence that had been
brought out In the trial against
Vickers and Kendall, that has
consumed four or five days, has
been circumstantial. Nelson was
shot to death in the mountains.
Ten weeks passed before his body
was recovered. Both accused
men swore that they had 20,
been at the scene where the mur.
der was committed, and knew
nothing of the crime. Kendall
and Vickers were the men las,
seen with Nelson.

Columbia, S. c., March, TO-
Charlie b. Green, suburban
merchant, was waylaid and kill
ed, and his assailant, Edgar Mar
shall, son of z. G.. Marshall, was
also killed just about midnight
last night in Shandon in sight of
Green's home. Their dead bodies
were not found for several hours.
SO lar as eyewitnesses are
concerned, The tragedy is mys
terry and only circumstances tell
the tale. Green, with his clerk,
left his store near Epworth Or
phanage about Ii 80, and thew
walked two blocks together.
when Green turned down Pres
ton street. Half way of the block
he was accosted and the position
OF the bodies and other circum-
stances indicate that Marshall
attacked him with heavy slung
shot that Green fired at Marshall
at close range and that Green
was himself fired upon either by
M Marshall or confederate of
Marshall. Three shots Frustrated
Green's body, and two of them
were fired as he was falling 10
his knees. Before being wounded
he had doubtless given Marshall
his death wound, the ball enter
ing the right chest and two
others making flesh wounds On
the face.
MISSED AT 2 O'CLOCK.
When Mr.. Green had not come
home by 2 O'Clock Mrs.
Green aroused a neighbor and a
search was made. The two men
were found in the street, lying
with their feet together as they
had fallen. Green's pistol, with
four chambers fired, 32-callibre
Smith IL Wesson, was at his
right hand. AT Marshall's right
was 3S calibre Smith & Wesson
which had not been fired, and
near his left hand was a Al
calibre Colts, of which five
chambers had been fred.
Under Marshall's body was
found the regulation highway.

was covered by black cloth

Clemson College Items.


KHAKI uniform was adop ed as
the spring uniform for the entire
corps of cadets. The trustees also
authorized an encampmsnt for
the corps to be held about the
hrSt week In June at some place
ye' to be selected.
Senator Tillman was present
at the meeting, and expressed
himself as well pleased with the
progressive development that
Clemson is making along all
lines. He would not talk much
about the new liquor law, saying
that he would give his opinion
In full at a later date. He did
say, however, that he did not
consider it any improvement over
the old dispensary law.
Perhaps it might be interesting
to some to know that Thomas
u. Clemson, founder of Clemson
college, was an artist of merit
and a commissioner and collector
of pictures. When he was a
young man in Paris he studied
under the best masters. After
wards, when he was charge
d'atfaIrs at the brilliant court of
Leopold |. of Belgium, he be-
came the personal friend of the
great king and enjoyed the
privilege of copying pictures
belonging to the kings famous
private gallery of paintings.
Many of Mr.. Clemson's pictures
were lost or destroyed during the
war between the States; and
the remainder, consisting of
thirty four beautiful oil paint
logs, now belonging to the col
lege, have recently been placed
in the college parlor.
In our last communication, we
made slight error in regard t.
the forty one scholarships a.

the scholarships have the option
OF taking either the textile o.

CONSCIENCE MONEY.
What the ola Time Publishers Paid
From Sense OF Justice

AHNAh u sense OF Justice.
Some interesting details have been
given out lately rs TO the sums volun-
lUily paid to British novelists bv
American publishers before the DAYS of
international copyright. Any American
firm could reprint at once whatever is
sued from the English presses. but
some publishers arranged with British
authors for advance sheets of forth
coming works. thus enabling them 20
get the start of 'piratical' firms which
paid the author nothing Ii is interest
ing TO observe the occasional disparity
between the merit of the book and the
price paid. The whole thing was in
the nature of leap IN the dark. Often
the sum given by the American pub
Usher was really more than the Amer
lean rights would probably have been
worth had ii been possible 10 secure
them by copyright. Thus Anthony
Irollopc got $500 for Sir Harry Hot
spur one OF his poorest novels; George
Eliot $500 FOR Daniel Deronda" and
Charles Reade $1,000 for u Woman
Halter" No publisher today would
pay any such sums for these books IL

On the other hand, by way Of com.
parison. the very best books brought
their authors only thrilling returns from
America. Charles Reade received only
$500 for Put Yourself In His Place"
$1,000 FOR Hard Cash." these being
two of his finest novels, and $1,000 for
Love Me Little. Love Ne Long"
Thackeray got only $3.50 for THE New
comes" and 500 for Henry Esmond."
Iroilope obtained from the Hcrners
S125 for The Bertrams." $3.50 for
Castle Richmond" $500 for ''Phineas
Finn" $3.50 for "The Eustace Dia-
monds," "Orley Farm" Lady Anna"
and Ralph the Heir" The $500 for
his "Cicero" is fully as much as any
American publisher would give today
for the copyright Of such book.
George Eliot received only 500 for
Adam Bede" and $500 for "Silas Mar
ner." The Mil on the Floss brought
her $1,000.
Wilkie Collins and Dickens were the
most popular authors of the precopy-
right period. and they Jared best of all
at the hands Of their authorized Amer
lean publishers. The former drew from
this country $500 for The Woman In
White" $3.50 each for 1.-THE Moon

Like the fated duchess in Brown

No matter how intricate the order or
how many times you sent things back,
she never grumbled. There was al
ways Il struggle TO get seat ut her
table. The boys" who regularly gath
cred i'm the downtown restaurant at
half past IL would wait fifteen min
utes for the privilege of being served
by Jessie. They joked her 4 good deal
and always were rewarded by n flash

DIT OF repartee or perhaps a little ex-
ira attention to their order. But new
or did one of them presume upon her
friendliness and bon camaraderie TO
overStep the very certain line which
she had drawn between herself and
those whom she served. She was
young. piQuant and pretty. but she
''mothered" them all. and. no matter
how tenderly she might ask If the eggs
were just right or the coffee hot. they
knew that ii was useless to misinter-
pref that "mothering."

room just three years. From the day
she came the managers discerning eve

ladies' table she was promoted to one
where masculinity and tips were moro

TOO Ill TO work, never distract or care

sometimes upon Tessie'S matrimonial
possibilities and hazard guesses as TO
what they would do when some fellow
carried her off to wait on himself ex-
clusively. But in time she became
such fixture that they ceased wonder
ing why such pretty girl was forced
TO work in Il quick lunch room and
gave up the thought that she would

That is why they were very much
surprised one day when they arrived
