Borrowed Joy.
BY WiNiFRED BLACK.

"a HE happiest woman | know is
as black as the ace OF spades
She's old and she's very poor
and she can't read or write.
Every Monday morning she
comes TO my house TO do the wash
ing. and Monday Is the great day OF
the week TO me. just because there's
streak of living sunshine down In
the laundry, and can feel 1t all
through the house.
What are you smiling about this
morning . | said TO the happiest
woman | know week or so ago. 1t
was raining hard and she was wet
almost TO the skin. Her shoes were
none too thick. and she wore a little
threadbare cape over her broad shout
ders: Has somebody left you a for
tune
Who. me?" said she. "Yas'm, dis
surely Is a mighty good cup of coffee
I'm a-drinkin'; amt nothin' like a
good, cold storm to make you relish
your eatins."
The next week | saw the happiest
woman ! know coming up on the
back porch. smiling like cherub.
We'll. auntie, what is IT that's so
nice this morning." | said. Kind OF
a wahm. socialble sort of day, amt
it?" said the happiest woman know.
Il heard the birds singin' right early
this mornin'. Who can help laugh
in on a day like this?" and every
day she comes there's something to
| make her smile.
One day she said that the little
baby whose mother lives In the hall
| across from her was heap better
this morning. and she couldn't help
laughing every time she thought of
| It,
Another time woman she knew
had been left $50 in somebody's Will,
and another time somebody had Civ
en- young girl OF her acquaintance a
brand new dress, las blue as any vi1et
dat ever growed."
| None OF the good luck ever seemed
TO be hers alone, but she never APP
pears to think OF that.
asked her about that this morn

laugh that sounded like clear spring
water gurgling out OF an old-fashioned

self like a crazy man, he said
"Sue, do the best you can," and
and went outside, saying he was
going to Kill himself. She said
he had said such things before,
so did not believe him and did
not go outside with him. About
10 minutes atterward, she heard
the report of gun and rushed
out to find Furr lying by tree in
front of her house. She said
that the dead man had fixed the
gun to the tree by a rope in such
a manner that he could point the
gun at himself and pull the trig-
ger with the rope. She lifted
him up, holding his head in her
arms and resting it against her
breast. She said she did not
want Furr's folks to find the body
lying near her door, so she went
up to Flynn's barn and got out
the mule and buggy and drove
back, intending 10 take the body
and leave it in FIynn's yard. She
lifted the body and placed it in
The buggy, she said, and started
to drive up to Flynn's, she walk

the buggy, and she could not get
1t In again, so she dragged it to
the place where it was found.
She lett the buggy where it was,
and returned to her house. She
took the gun off the tree and car

took the exploded shell out and

substance of her story. She made
no attempt to explain the pres

In her room is also unfit for pub

Stratford at all, and the latter is
considered to have made out a
good defense.

Dates Fixed for State and
County Democratic Con-
VentiOnS.

The Columbia State: The
State Democratic executive
committee at the meeting last
night fixed the time for holding
the State convention for Nav
20, the county conventions for
May 4, and the precinct clubs
for April 25. This was the main
reason for the meeting, although
one or two other resolutions in.
troduced were discussed. AT
the precinct or club meetings del
egates will be elected to the
county conventions and when
the county conventions are as
sembled delegates to the State
convention will be elected, each
county being entitled to twice
the umber of representatives
in the general assembly.
There was a very full attend
ance when the meeting was
called to order and as soon as
the dates for the convention
were fixed Mr.. Cole l.. Blease
brought up resolution recon
mending to the convention the
change in the constitution of
the party so that the first pri-
mary might be held on the third
Saturday in Augusta instead of
the fourth Tuesday as at present.
Mr.. Blsase stated that he had
heard Of number OF cases
where mill operatives were not
allowed to get off on Tuesday in
order to vote and it was custo
mary in the mills to give the
operatives half holiday on
Saturday. This applied partic
ularly to Richland county, he
said. The resolution was op
posed on the ground that it
would delay the returns. 1t
was finally tabled.

Judge Buchanan's Wound
Proved Fatal--Sketch OF
His Life.
Augusta, Ca, March IT,
Judge o. w. Buchanan, of
Winnsboro, and one of the best
known men in the Palmetto
state, died here thi. morning,
as the result of a bullet wound
inflicted yesterday afternoon
while he was on a train en- route
to Augusta. The bullet which
caused his death was fired by an
unknown party and crashed
through the car window while
the train was running near
Wards, S. @. The bullet entered
the right side and caused con-
gestion of the lungs, which re-
suited in death at II O'Clock to-
day. The shot was from a %
caliber weapon.
Judge Buchanan had served
his state in several honored DO
sitions, having been circuit Judge,
legislator and attorney general.
He was born in Winnsboro.
Sept. 16, 1858, the son of R. A.
Buchanan and Rebecca Wood
ward. On both sides he was of
Revolutionary stock. His uncle,
Maj. John Buchanan, was one of
the signers of the Ordinance of
Secession.
Judge Buchanan was educated
in the common schools of his
county and at Mr.. Zion institute.
He studied law in the office of
Jas. H. Rion, and after an exam
nation by the supreme court was
admitted to practice in 1880.
Mrs. Buchanan, to whom he
was married at Clark's Hill, Jan.
2, 1880, was Miss Sophia A. Till
man, a daughter of the late Con-
gresham Geo. d. Tillman and
niece of Senator B. r. .Tillman.
Judge Buchanan was twice
elected representative from
Fairfield county to the general
assemble; was appointed assist
ant attorney general by Attorney
General ID. a. Townsend, and
upon the election of Mr.. Town
send 10 the bench in 1898, was
elected without opposition to fiji
the vacancy thus caused. On
Dec. 4, 1894, he was elected
judge of the Third circuit. At
the expiration of the four-year
term he was reelected, his Sc
cond term commencing Dec. s,
1898. For several years he has
been practicing law at Wins
boro.

that there was blood on her arm
and breast. g. w. Russ, who
came there after the others test
ihed that he SAW Sue go in the
house and come out with Toms
hat under her arm, and that she
went to where the body was and
tried to slip the hat under the
blanket which covered the body.
Russ went in the house and saw
blood on the floor near the fire.
place and spatters of blood on
the woodwork over the fireplace.
When Chief Laney reached the
scene, about 9 O'Clock, he found
lot of bloody clothing in the
woman's bedroom, and there
was water on the floor of the
other room as if an attempt had
been made to wash up the floor
to remove stains of blood. The
Watts woman refused to say any
thing at the time, saying she
would tell all later.
Charles Stratford testified that
he was home all night that night,
and the reason ne did not 90 with
Medlin and White to search for
Furr was because he did not
think that anything had happen
ed to Tom. Stratford's wife, his
brother and several other negroes
who live in the house with him
corroborated his statement that
he had been at home. He tes-
tilted that he had little fuss
with Furr the Sunday before the
killing occurred, but it did not
amount to anything and he and
Furr were friends after it as be-
fore, as was shown by Furr's
having visited him the evening
before he was killed. The fuss
was over at Sue Watts house
when the defendant and Furr
were there and some others
drinking the Sunday before. De
fendant said he had never threat
ened Furr. In answer to the
testimony of Jack Williams that
he had heard Stratford threaten
TO kill Furr one day at noon about
two weeks before the killing, it
was shown by the payrolls of the
lncemorlee Cotton Mill, where
Stratford worked, that he was al
work there from 6 O'Clock in the
morning till 8 at night on the
day in question, and could not
have been at the place where
Williams said he heard the threats
made. Mr.. Robert Iceman testi-
fled that Stratford had lost onl Y
half a day from work during the
month of January, and that was
on the Goth, two days before
Furr was killed. Stratford said
that he went.to the FlynL's house
the morning after the killing on
his way to work. He reached
there as they were starting to go
to Sue Watts house the last time
and he went with them. Har-
vey Flynn stated that Strattord
said to them, before he knew
anything about the blood in the
buggy, Il am as innocent of this
as the angels in heaven" When
they reached Sues house, Char
les went in and, one Of the wit
nesses said, he looked at Sue and
noticing the blood on her sleeve
pointed to it and said, "Sue, you
say you know nothing about this,
how came that blood on your
sleevep Sue did not answer.
The testimony of Sue Watts,
which was given at the night ses.
SION, was most dramatic. Her
story of the relations between
her and younU Eurr 10 un6t tor
