Murder at Rice Creek.

The Rice Greek section five miles
north of Palatka was the scene of a
murder last Saturday afternoon at
s. 80 o'clock, when Thos. Hughes shot
and killed II. r. Stephens near the
commissary of the Utica Brick &
Tile Co.'s works. Both parties are
white and formerly resided in this
city, where Hughes was an employe
of the Selden Cypress Co.
The men were in the city together
early Saturday afternoon and APP
peared to be on friendly terms. How
ever, they were drinking heavily.
Hughes endeavored to secure a
warrant for the arrest of parties at
Rice Creek, whom he said had used
unbecoming language before men,
bers of his family. He failed to get
the warrant owing to insufficient evil
dence-and probably on account of
his inebriate condition.
He and Stephens left the court
house together and started for home.
1t is supposed that then the row be-
gan. Shortly after reaching the works
u fight ensued which resulted in the
shooting and fatally wounding of
Stephens by Hughes. After firing
the shot Hughes made his escape
ana as yet has not been apprehended.
The shooting occurred at $50 Sat
urday afternoon and Stephens lin
gered until 10 clock Sunday morn
ing, dying before medical attendance
could be secured.
The shot took effect in Stephens
forearm and abdomen, causing an
ugly, gaping wound.
Coroner Rowton held the inquest
Sunday afternoon and the jury
brought in the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury, find that H. r.
Stephens came to his death by gun
shot wound at the hands of Thomas
Hughes
Just another case of booze"

Drayton Island Killing.

On Friday afternoon of last week

Jim Way near the steamer landing
at Drayton Island. Both parties col
ored.
The negroes were patching in a
house belonging to Kimball and
there was some disagreement be-
tween them as to the comforts of the
quarters. This lead to fight, in
which KimLalt secured rifle and
shot Way, infiicting wounds from
which the latter died Friday after
noon.
The county authorities were noti-
fed and Coroner Rowton, with a
jury, went up to the scene of the
tragedy Friday afternoon. After
thoroughly investigating the case,
the jury rendered verdict of iusti-
fable homicide.

Familiarity In Business.

Familiarity, in business or
out, breeds contempt between men
and women" says Anna Stccsc
Richardson in remarkable article
on Tho Influence of Women on
Business, in October Woman's
Home Companion. 1t rs all very
well to say that the modern girl is
happier in the end for losing some
of her illusions regarding men.
Perhaps But If she gains along
this line she loses by having no
more illusions about womanhood,
wifchood and motherhood. Only
the woman who can hold these
sacred for herself and the man
she loves enriches the home life
in Amer lea and leaves to her
country the heritage of we'll bal
cedant sons and daughters.
''The woman embitted by the
contempt which follows familiar
ity with men in business seems
in matrimony only relief from irk-
some toll. For her, marriage
does not represent the fulfilment
of ner highest destiny, the most
wonderful opportunities of woman
hood. She is not reaching for the
GROWING happiness of her life.
She is grimly trying to choose
the lesser of two evils. -

vador-Charges.

Mexico City, July 6-Accordng TO Il dispatch
received to-day by The Associated Press at this
city from Salvador, the recent removal OF the
American consul general. Mr. jenkins, has
caused a great sensation in the official and
diplomatic circles OF the republic. An open ac-
cusation' made that Jenkins was the IN
stigator of the revolution in Salvador. II Is
said that the charges were conveyed 10 Wash
ington and that Mr. Murpfr', an inspector OF
consuates. instructed TO investigate the
case. After a three months investigation Nr
Murphy recommended that Jenkins ne re-
moved and he was consequently recalled.
II was charged that in the recent war Jen-
kus delivered cable messages TO secret agents
of Zelaya stationed at San Salvador These
messages. It Is said, bore fhe signature Of the
United States Minister Mr- Merry. The gov
ernment at Washington has demanded an ex-
panation from President ZeIaya, it is said
because OF his unwarranted use OF the name Of
a United States diploeIstIc officer.
In support Of the charges the Salvadoran gov
errment has filed at the State Department at
Washington copies Of the dispatches which
passe1 between President Zelaya and his
agents, with the alleged concurrence Of Consul
General Jenkins
President Zelaya Is said TO be stationing two
thousand troops a the port or Corsigua, pre-
paratory 70 a second invasion of Salvador
