WOMEN POsTMAsTERs WIN.
Senate Rejects Nominations of Men
Named by President.

Washington, May 21.-The fight
made by Georgia and Texas senators
against supplanting women postmas-
ters with male employees resulted to-
day in the rejection OF three nom1na-
tions which had been before the SEN
ate since last December. The nom1-
nations rejected are: T. w. Scott to
succeed Hattie F. Gilmer, at Toccoa,
Ca, John T. A. McCullom to succeed
Mary A. Melton, at Conyers, and EV-
erett Johnson to succeed jean
nette D. Mcconnell, Jacksboro, Tex.
Senators Clay and Culberson served
notice on the postofice department
that they were opposed to women
being ousted from their places and
their opposition was 80 determined
that no attempt to confirm the ap-
pointments was made in the senate.
Fearing that President Roosevelt
would make recess appointments
after the adjournment of congress
and would d1splace the women in
that way, the senators today insisted
upon the rejection of the three ap-
pointees, and they at least are elm
mated.

GEORGE r. KEITH KILLED.
Succumbed to Injuries Received in
Being Run Over by Train.

Anderson, May 25.-While flag
ging his train across the North Man.
ming street crossing this morning at
$50 O'Clock, Mr.. George Reed Keith,
fireman, fell in front of the engine.
The trucks passed over his legs, COM
pletely seyering both of them below
the knees. He was quickly picked
up and hurried to the Anderson hos
pital. At 1920 o'clock he had suf-
ficiently recovered from the severe
shock accompanying the accident to
undergo surgical operation. Both

Mr.. Keith was about twenty-five

work for the Blue Ridge railway. He
was a good and faithful employe and
commanded the respect of all the Of
ficilas of the road. He was always at
tentive to his, duties, and the officials
greatly deplore the terrible accident
and subsequent death. Mr.. Keith
was a brother-in-law of Superinten-
dent J. r. Anderson of the railway.

FOR SECOND PLACE.
Movement to Nominate Southerner
for Vice President.

Washington, D. c., May 22nd.-
Allen S. Towson, New York broker,
a native of Virginia, Is in Washington
in charge of q movement to have
nominated a Southern man for the
second place on the Democratic
national ticket.
The name of w. G. Conrad, form
erly OF Virginia, but now resident
of Montana, has been mentioned as
being one of several men who could
solidify the Democratic vote, and
bring to the support of the. ticket
the party vote in the South and West.
While Mr.. Towson and his friends
are enthusiastic for Mr.. Conrad, he
saws they will be willing to support
any southern man for the place.
The movement was inaugurated at
meeting in New York city some
days ago, at which 1t was decided
that the time had come when 1t was
necessary to 'disprove the theory that
there was no presidential or vice
presidential timber available South
Of the Mason and Dixon line.
Such men as Senator Culberson,
of Texas; Senator Daniel, OF Wiz
ginia; ex-United States Senator Ed
ward Carmack of Tennessee, and
others have been considered, but It
understood they would not be will
Ing to permit their names to be
used for the second place on the
ticket. Therefore the movement
has been started to get the name
of some successful southern busl-
ness man who has the time to de-
vote to the campaign, and who
would solidify the party vote.

SON KILLS HIS FATHER.
Young Man Then Ended His Own
Life With Pistol.

New York, May 20.-Because he
was about to be married again,
George Sterry, 72 years old, was
shot and killed today by his son,
George Sterry, Jr.
The young man committed suicide.
The father was member of the
large wholesale drug firm Of Weaver
& Sterry, with a place of business at
166 Pearl street.
He was engaged to be married to
young school teacher Of Brooklyn
and his engagement had caused seri-
Gus family quarrels.
The elder Sterry was president
and the son secretary of Weaver &
Sterry. The old man had been
working at his desk all the fore
noon. It was nearly noon when his
son reached the Office.
AS. the young man passed through
the warehouse on his way to the Of
fees on the second floor Of the
building he met his younger broth
er, James W. Sterry, and addressing
him cheerily, asked him how things
were going.
He was told that everything was
all right and continued on his way
upstairs.
It was only moment later when
the shots rang through the building
and when James Sterry and several
employees rushed up to the Office
they found the old man sitting in
his chair at the desk and George, Jr.,
lying on the floor by his side. So.
Both were dead.
There was bullet hole in each
mans temple and a revolver was
living on the floor.
