wound inflicted on Monday afternoon
while he was OIL Il train rn rrute to
Augusta. The bullet which caused
his death was fired by an mknown
party and crashed hhrou4h the car
window while the train was running"
near Ward, S. c.
The bullet entered the right side
and caused congestion Of the lungs,
which resulted in death at II o'clock
on Tuesday. The shot was from %
callibre weapon. From the first but
slight hopes were entertained for his
recovery. Immediately after being
shot he received medical aid at john
ston, and was later brought to Au-
gusta, where he was placed in the
Wright sanitarium and given the best
medical aid possible, but to no avail.
AL tihrough the night and morning
his condition was critical and at last
he succumbed.
Judge Buchanan was circuit cOur.

The train was stopped at Johnston,
where DR.. Walker was summoned, and

Shelter the Machinery.

Now is the time to see that all
the farm machinery is sheltered for
the winter. All parts should be
well cleaned. and such as are likely
to rust should be covered with oil
or good grade of axle grease
One season without shelter will
damage farm machinery more than
the wear caused by its use during
the season. The action of the
weather. which causes rusting of
the iron and steel, as well as the
rotting of the wood parts, will seri-
ously interfere with the working of
the machine when it is again put
to use. By exposure. many parts
are very much weakened, and the
life of the machine is shortened.
AS general rule the prosperity
of farmer may be estimated by
the way he cares for his machinery
Poor care indicates shiftlessness
waste, lack of energy, and the
necessity for buying more imple
ments in a short time. Good care
on the other hand, indicates pros
perity, business ability, large banl
deposits. and long-lived machinery

word had been received that Gov

in every township in the county

ite number of signatures will have
been obtained within the next few
days. There are approximately
1000 voters in Wayne county,

feat the temperance people at the
