of the Marshalltown Shooting club on

Woman Shot by Accident.

Anderson, Sept. 11.-At the coro-
ner's inquest over the body of Mayme
Elrod it developed that the woman
came to her death by the accidental
discharge of pistol in the hands of
17-year-old Calhoun Donald. While
the jury did not return such a ver-
dict, all of the evidence tends to show
accidental shooting, but the jurors
thought it best to. detain Donald for
trial at the circuit court. The Elrod
woman was about 40 years of age,
and has been living with the Donald
family for some years. The shooting
occurred in a corn field of Mr.. Don
AIDS three miles across the Oconee
county line. The woman was brought
to the hospital here, and died the
night of the shooting. Donald claims
that he was playing with a pistol
while at work in the field with the
Elrod woman, and that he did not
know it was loaded. He snapped the
hammer and the gun was discharged,
tt, bullet taking effect in the wo-
mans abdomen. Despite the fact
that the shooting occurred in Oconee
county, the trial will be held in An
derson county, the death having oc-
Cured here, and the coroner's in
quest haying been held in Anderson
county.

Il thought as muckle," said the
shepherd. Il couldna part wi Jock.
But while they sat and chatted ar

MUTE GUN TESTS A SUCCESS
Hiram Percy Maxim's Gun Silencer i!
as Again Satisfactory to Officers.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 9.-Hiram
Percy Maxim returned to-day from
Springfield where yesterday final
tests were made of his gun silencing
device. He expressed himself more
than gratified at the results OF the
experiments, which showed that fr-
ing party in ambush could not be de-
tected at $50 yards.
The; tests have been conducted be-
fore board appointed by the com
manding officer of the Springfield ar
mory. Those of yesterday were made
to show what degree of concealment
could be obtained by a party using
the Maxim Devices. The army officers
stationed themselves near the butts
at the water shop range and the rifle
man was taken to different points OF
the compass, from each of which he
fired five shots, at distances from 25O
( to 700 yards. The bullets were fired
into a sandbank near the listening
party and they found it impossible tc
tell from which direction the shots
were fired. When the man fired from
the north they were not agreed, but
most of them thought the shot came
from the south. In no case were they
all agreed, and in no case were they
right.
5 At three short ranges the ping OF
the bullet disguised the snap of the
gun. The fact was not disclosed be-
fore, as in the previous tests the gun
was discharged into bank not 10
yards from the ,rifleman. Under
those circumstances the snap of the
gun could be heard at 1900 yards
In an engagement the soldier is sup
posed to shoot at the enemy, and the
tests yesterday showed not only that
firing party could not be detected
at a distance of golf drive, but that
the sing of the bullet through the
air made the snap of the guns dis
charge inaudible.
Mr.. Maxim in an interview said:
''The principle make use of is
applicable to heavy ordinance and
am arranging to equip modern
three-inch field gun with silencer
/ believe am right when I say that
making the location of position OF
such a gun impossible will altogether
change conditions in warfare"

Sunday.

Sunday-the one day in the week
when people can stop and think of
something else than work, business,
care. AS an economic, blood and flesh
proposition, relief from the demnition
grind of life, it is worth preserving.
Old time ecclesiasticism took possession
of the day for the purpose of fostering
the rule of the church on the people.
But Christ mad no such idea for ne
said: ''The Sabbath :s made for man,
not man for the Sabbath" Lei those
who wish to worship on that day do so
with the fullest OF freedom Let those
who wish 30 rest, and relax the vigor
of their lives do so. Over all should
rest the spirit of American liberty, law
and order, which protects each one in
the exercise of his liberty when he
does not interfere with the liberty of
others.
1t is wise provision of law that sa-
looms should be closed on day of gen
eTal idleness. This is no interference
of rightful liberty, for drink without
regulation soon degeneratee into de-
bauch and lawlessness. The experience
of mankind for thousand of years backs
up that assertion. Then, the saloon
keeper as well as other men ought to
close out business on that day, for his
own sake. Elk Governor Hoard.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 10. 1908.
rHE AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.

With dullness prevalent IN commerce
and industry throughout the entire
country, the condition of growing crops
will be subject of more than the usual
interest during the present season.
Plenty among agriculturists is the fun
damental element of prosperity, and If
the farmer secures rich returns for his
labor. there is generally activity in
business all along the line. A heavy
crop throughout the United States and
Canada would doubtless contribute ma
terially TO restoration Of confidence in
commercial circles.
While there has been large amount
of rain in some parts of the northwest
thus far, the outlook at the present
time is very satisfactory. Discouraging
reports from low-lying sections where
the precipitation of moisture has been
heavy have been more than offset by
accounts of promising development else
where. II is far too early to either
exult or croak, but there is no reason
why agriculturists generally should not
be cheerful at the present time. There
is less danger in surplus of moisture
IN the spring thGu IN drOuth. The soil
when deeply moistened is reservoir
from which plant life can draw susten-
ance during the hot weeks of early
summer.
Canada reports promising crop condi-
tons in Ontario and the northwestern
provinces. In Ontario both wheat and
rye were in good condition after the
winter. and clover and other grass
crops got a promising start. Heavy
rains delayed seeding in some places.
but the seed terminated without delay
and plants grew rapidly. Alberta re-
ports crops in almost an ideal condition,
with winter wheat almost month
ahead of last year. Anincreased acreage
Of spring wheat is thriving amazingly
The Canadian northwest is now the
great embarrassing section of North
America, and the condition of the grow
ing crops there is of vital Importance.
Good times among the farmers of both
Canada and 1.-THE states" will insure re
newed activity in trade throughout the
west and northwest, next fall - Even
ing Wisconsin.
