series of religious meetings that
are being conducted here by Rev.
Len. g. >Broughton, of Atlanta,
many merchants of Spartanburg
whohave been handling cigafettes
are going out of the cigarette
business.
Last Sunday afternoon DR..
Broughton preached special
sermon to men aud boys and he
told OF the great harm done to
young men by smoking cigarettes.
He declares it was one of the
greatest vices to which Young
men are addicted to and he made
plea for the dealers in cigarettes
to quit the business. Since that
sermon it is learned that quite a
number of dealers have quit SELL
ing cigarettes. One merchant
even destroyed all the cigarette

KILLS WIFE AND
 BRAINS HIS BOY
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY NEAR CAM TON, o.-sHAFER ALSO SHOOTS HIS WIPES MoTHER-BLooD- HOUNDS AND MOB AFTER HIM

Canton, O., June 13.-One of the most horrible tragedies ever enacted in this section of the state took place on Symmes creek at about noon today, when Charles Shafer shot his wife, her mother and his little 8-year-old boy, the latter being instantly killed, while Mrs. Shafer died about an hour later. Her mother, Mrs. Thacker, will recovery. Family trouble is given as the cause of the shooting and back of that Is a long story of cruel and brutal treatment. At noon today the pas sions of the man seemed to burst out in inhuman form and the killing took place Mrs Shafer was formerly a school teacher. Shafer seduced her and was com pelled to marry her. Tor five years they lived apart but he promised to do better and reconciliation was effected. Today he whipped his wife cruelty and a constable arrested him. He was released on bond and returned to his wife's mothers home and after killing her, knocking her down, drew his revolver and began shooting. After shooting the women the little B. year-old boy begged pitfiully to be left with his mother, but the inhuman father dragged him away, up the hillside to the nearby woodshed, then placing the re- volver against his head blew out his brains, afterwards shooting him through the heart and building a fire, attempted to burn the body. Shafer is at large, but is being hunted by a hundred men with bloodhound He will be lynched if caught.

GOVERNMENT MUST
 HELP ROADS; HILL
HE SAYS THE PUBLIC, IN ITS ANGER, WILL MAKE DEMANDS THE ROADS CANNOT COMPLY WITH-SLoW-UP IN BUSINESS.

New York, June 1s.-That the national government will be forced to lend its credit to finance the needs of the rail roads of the country was the statement made by James J. Hill in an interview today '"The public in it's exasperation,' said MT Hill, will demand that the railroads shall lay certain rails and pro- vide more cars. The railroads will an- swer that they cannot; that their credit has been ruined. The government will he obliged to step In and lend its credit to supply this deficiency. The situation might lead to government ownership of railroads. That would be the end of re- publican. government.
 "The cause of the trouble Is that the business of the United States has out grown the capacity of its railroads and the railroads are in no position to catch up If men cannot get their freight moved they must cease to produce it. It does not appear any easier for railroad to get money now than 1t was a few months ago. I know of instances In west ern cities where short term notes of some eastern roads are being peddled around in s5Ooo lots on 61k to 7h per cent basis. Railroads cannot increase their facilities under these conditions"
 Concerning the business outlook MT. Hill said:
 There is a general slowing up in busi- ness. It appeared inevitable last fall; 1t came and I believe it will continue. l don't think 1t will hurt anybody, but that it exists there is no doubt"

 HOUSE IN ORDER
Spends First Day of Vacation Arrang- ing Household Belongings, But Oc-
 cupied Loeb for Three Hours.

Oyster Bay, June 13.-President Roose- welt spent the first day of his vacation without indulging in any of his favored occupations for recreation and exercise. He did not go for his customary morning horseback ride, he did not exercise with the axe at the Sagamore Hill wood pile; he did not take row in Oyster Bay. Aside from the three hours he was oc- cupied with Secretary Loeb in the discus sion of official business he spent the whole day in arranging the household be- ongings, which were brought from the White House.
 No visitors were received, and Quentin and Archie were the only members of the Roosevelt family to descend the hill to the village.
 The executive officers today received a call from the Woman in Blue," under stood to be Mrs. Lufly Lee of Brooklyn The woman in blue received considerable notoriety two years ago. Mrs. Lee ar rived on late train She at once made a thorough inspection of the water front and then went to the executive offices.

PERKINS CHARGES
 ARE DISMISSED
SPECIAL GRAND JURY DEALING WITH INSURANCE CASE DISMISS COMPLAINT AGAINST J. P. MoR- CANS PARTNER.

New York, June 1S.-A special grand jury which is dealing with the insurance case returned a finding this afternoon dis missing the complaint against G. W. Per kins, In connection with dealings in the bonds of the International Mercantile company. MT. Persins, a member of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.,. and former vice president of the New York Life In- surance company, Is under six indict- ments now with insurance transactions. The complaint today alleged forgery in the third degree. The grand jury return simply bore the indorsement dismissed"
 According to evidence brought out be- fore the Armstrong investigation com mittee, and upon which the complaint was based, Perkins was allotted sS,200,00 of the bonds which were paid for. This was fin 1903, and in the next year the bonds were sold to MT. Morgan's company at 75 or &C., and then transferred to MT. Perkins, who sold them again to MT. Morgan, who in turn sold them to the New York Life Insurance company at 90. It is al- legged that Perkins, as vice president, acted for the New York Life in part of these transactions, and the forgery charge grew out of an alleged false entry on the blotter of the insurance company

CLASH PREDICTED
 AT THE HAGUE
THE JEALOUSY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND GERMANY MAY WRECK WORK OF PEACE CON FERENcE-1e9 DELEGATES.

The Hague, June 13.-With the names of the delegates of half a dozen of the smaller states still missing, the list of delegates and attaches on file with the Dutch foreign office this evening num- bers 199.
 Although no actual new developments are anticipated until the conference gets under way and the powers begin to show their hands, 1t is not apparent from the prevailing gossip that the cihef importance of the conference will revolve about the jealousy and antagonism between Great Britain and Germany, and there are plenty of pessimists who predict an open clash which will jeopardize, if not wreck the work that the conference meets to perform.
 This afternoon a number of countries deposited formally their adherences to the findings of the convention of 1899, in order to make themselves eligible. and tomorrow the plenipotentaries which par ticipated in the first conference will sign a protocol admitting the new corners. There Is a mere formality, as the parties to the original convention already have agreed to receive the countries invited to this conference and the ceremony will be very informal.

A New Typhoid Terror.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Although the discovery of new sources of danger to health. new carriers of dis ease germs, should be an announcement to the scientific worker as tending to- ward the more accurate application of preventive measures, the knowledge that the typhoid infection is being carried about in scores of supposedly healthy per sons will prove rather alarming. To the medical professional 1t Is well known, of course. that the typhoid bacillus some- times persists for years in certain por- tions of the human anatom. and that 1t is always to be found for a time dur ing convalescence, but the possibility that healthy and apparently robust individuals may be carriers of the deadly germs and that the arrest and isolation of such "car- rier' may come to be part of the pub lie campaign against the disease, is a comparatively recent aspect of the ques- tion.
 The discovery of this added danger should serve to emphasize the importance of scrupulous care in ascertaining the health and antecedents of household servants. Tn a particular case that led to the discovery of one aggravated in stance of typhoid Carrier six per- sons in single family developed the disease within few days after the ar rival of a new cook. After every other possible source of contamination had been investigated and found guiltless, an in- auiry as to the cook revealed the start ling fact that during the five years prev ious at least twenty-six cases of typhoid were associated with her service in seven different families. She was detained, and a bacteriological examination revealed her to be a chronic typhoid fever producer.

PROVIDES RELIEF
 FOR WINE GROWERS
FRENCH GOVERNMENT SECURES
 ADOPTION OF BlLL-DISAFFEC- . TON OF TROOPS ExAGGERATED
 AND FEW TOWNS IN STRIKE.

Paris, June 13.-The government today secured the adoption by the chamber of deputies of the first clause of it's bill in- tended to provide relief for the wine grow CTS; it was announced that the disaffec- tion of the troops had been exaggerated and it was established that the strike of the municipalities in support of the wine growers demands at present involved only about 10 per cent of the disaffected.
 These were first hopeful signs for the authorities since the growers movement begun.
 After a debate in the chamber of depu- ties lasting four days the government car ried by BIO to 261 votes the first clause of the bill against wine frauds intended for the relief of the wine growers. The meas ure requires all growers to make an an- nual declaration at the mayoralty of their commune of the acreage, cultivated and total quantity of wine produced and in stock, and whether it is inteded for sale pr otherwise. The government is of the opinion that when in possession of this Information it will be in a position to keep track of the wine grower to the dealers and prevent watering or sugaring. The worst case of disaffection among the troops has been that of the soldiers of the One Hundredth regiment of infantry at Narbonie, where resenting their con- Lingent to barracks for five Sundays on account of the wine growers manifasta- tion, had a conflict with their non-com- mand commissioned officers June TO- As result of the investigation which War Minister Picquart caused to be made into the incident the troops left Narbonie.

SAYS ROOSEVELT IS

A NOTABLE PAPER IS READ BY CROSBY MOVES, EDITOR OF THE WASHINGTON STAR, AT THE EDITORIAL MEETING.

Norfolk, Va, June 13.-The National Edi- torial association meeting at the James, town exposition spent a large part of today on a pilgrimage to Jamestown island There was some speechmaKlng on the boat going and return from the island and one of the most notable papers read was that of Crosby B. Moves, editor of the Washington Star whose subject was Journalism Since Jamestown" MT Moves said in part:
 Theodore Roosevelt is an unique speci- men, incapable of classification. He is law to himself. His activities range rom the colossal to the infintesmal By a feat of statesmanship he puts an end to a great and appalling destructive war between two nations on the other side of the globe, earning thereby the Nobel prize and the applause of the world.
 Then he stoops to a petty attempt to prevent his cabnent officers and other subordinates and visitors to the White House from talking to the reporters"
 MT. Moves thought 1t would be advis- able for the President to go little slow when undertaking to concentrate all the powers of government at the White House. In conclusion he said:
 After all, Theodore Roosevelt Is a great deal of a boy yet, as well as a most masterful President"
