A Chicago judge, who had several
small boys before him for petty
crimes, ascribed the depraved ideas
of the young offenders to the vicious

ordered one of the theatre managers
to appear before him the next day.

People must eat and wear clothes,

change from an abnormal to fair

With many the sights have been set

Novel Cooking Fork.

This invention is designed for turn
ing and lifting large pieces of meat
during the process Of cooking. The
fork consists of the usual handle,
with tube, or sleeve, fitted therein,
the tines mounted on the outer end
of the tube, and rod passing
through the tube and handle and
carrying at one end the spiral screw
and the other end secured by nut
The Port Gibson reveille., 1908-01-16

to cause the screw to revolve with
the handle.
In operation the tines are driven
into the meat to the proper distance,
and the handle is then turned to
cause the spiral screw to engage or
twist into the meat, giving a firm
and reliable connection between the
fork and the meat, and permitting
the removal of the meat bodily with
out danger of spilling or detachment
of the meat from the fork, and to
remove the fork it is simply neces-
sary to release the screw by turning
the handle in the reverse direction,

HOMICIDE AT UNION.
Lucas Gallman Shot and Fatally
Wounded by John Ray.

man, a young white man Of this city
was shot through the body about
1880 O'Clock last evening at the home
of John Ray, also white, who lived
Just out of the corporation limits OF
Union, and died about noon to-day.
In his statement made soon after he
was wounded Gallman said Ray sent
for him and that he went to Rays
house and spent several hours. When
he started to leave, ne said, Ray call
ed him back and shot him twice with
out saying a word. The pistol used
was 3S Smith and Wesson, and one
shot entered little to the left of the
middle of the waist, passing entirely
through the body. The other shot
took effect in the back of Gallman's s
head, cutting away small portion
Of the skull.
There seems to have been abso-
lutely no quarrel. Gallman so stated,
and Ray, who was arrested and lodg-
ed in Jail Immediately after the
shooting, declares he knows abso-
lutely nothing of the occurrence, he

Police officers rushed in and the
negro was arrested. He proved to
be Brit Arts, an attache, accused
by Rogers of having struck the lat
ter's wife on her head with water
bucket.
Rogers was furiously angry, and
but for the prompt interference OF
the police Arts would probably have
suffered dire consequences. Failing
in his attempts to wing the fleeing
black with revolver that contained
only blank cartridges, which fact he
forgot in his haste, Rogers grabbed
pitchfork and swore he'd transdx
the negro.
At police headquarters Rogers and
his wife were released, but subpoean-

New County Proposed.

: Florence, November e.-Mr. Stew
art Starr, editor of the Lake City
News, of Lake City, passed through
the city this evening going to Co
lumbia to wait upon Governor M. F.
Ansel relative to the formation of the
new county of Rutledge, which is ex-
pected to be formed out of Williams
burg, Florence and Clarendon coun-
ties with Lake City as the county
seat. Mr.. Starr has fortified himself
with all of the necessary papers and
afidavits and other documents which
he will file with the Governor to-mor-
row. There are LOO names signed
to the petitions, and if the election
goes Florence County will lose Han
nah and Pee Dee townships in their
entirety. Mr.. Starr will urge upon
the Governor the necessity of ap-
pointing the commissioners at the
very earliest possible date, so that
the election can be had and the Leg
islature confirm the election at its
approaching session.

SOLID SOUTH BROKEN.
Dispenser of Federal Patronage in
This State Discusses Election.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Among
those who are giving out statements
as to the meaning of things is Hon.
John G. Capers of South Carolina. He
sees large and luminous rainbows be-
meath the clouds of Democratic ma
jorities in the resolidified South. Says
he today:
"The large increase in the Republi-
can vote in the South, especially IN
North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia,
and the percentage of white Republi-
can voters in South Carolina means
the death knell of the solid South.
"It used to be that social ostracism
in a way was meted out to any one In
the South who was known to be a
Republican, but, happily, that spirit
is dying out rapidly and now
our people see the folly OF
such narrowness. This is shown
by the votes cast in the South
ern States on Tuesday. Judge Taft
received more native white votes than
were ever cast for a Republican can
didate for the presidency. This was
due in a measure to the more hberal
anu tOleTouC SplllC uOW plO'oAAAhS'
'The principal asset Of the Democ-
racy of the South has been the negro
vote. The politicians have known for
years that when the young people OF
our section realize that negro domi-
nation in local affairs did not and
would not follow the election of a Re-
publican candidate for president, the
doom Of the solid south was sealed.
And Tuesdays election has sealed the
doom. The South Is rich in agrlcul-
ture, minerals, and manufactures, and
there is a strong protective tariff SEN
timent.
This issue will figure prominently
in the congressional campaign two
years hence, and nowhere will it make
itself felt more pronouncedly than in
the South. This will be shown in the
change in congressional delegations.
The time has arrived when the South
will once again occupy the field she
did before the Civil war, that is, there
will be a division of political senti-
ment. The Democratic politicians
will no longer be able to check the
healthy political growth by the cry OF
negro domination"

SHOT PLAYMATE IN ABDOMEN.
Young Son Of DIR. John Lunney, OF
Darlington, Fatally Wounded.

Darlington, November 6.-Frank
Lunney, the ten-year-old son of DR..
John Lunney, was shot in the abdo-
men with a load from shotgun in
the hands of Bradus Long at the Long
home on Broad street this afternoon,
the effects of which will probably be
fatal to young Lunney.
From the statements made it ap-
pears that Long, Lunney and other
boys of about the same age were play
ing together at the Long home. Lun-
ney and others being on the outside
of the house and Long on the inside,
and that Lunney, or one of his play
mates, pointed cap pistol at Long,
who reached for gun near him, and
fired out of the window, striking
young ,Lunney in the stomach. 1t is
not certain whether he fired at Lun-
ney or at one of the others, and Lun-
ney coming in the way received the
load.
The physicians say that the wounds
are necessarily fatal, and that the
wounded boy can hardly live through
the night.

Y Election results and the advent OF
more seasonable weather in some
sections of the country were helpful
to trade this week, and except in
parts of the South, where the holding
of cotton interfered, collections also
have shown improvement. In whole
sale and manufacturing lines the
tone of business shows most marked
Improvement. Orders which were
conditioned on election results have
been confirmed and many new ones
placed, the net result being an en-
5largement of the volume of business
at first hands over recently preceding
weeks. Many industrial concerns have
announced an increase Of capacity

Raw Files Return.

Norfolk, Va, November Sc.
William Ray, a prominent young man
from South Carolina, who was recent
ly made defendant in divorce pro-
cedings by his youthful wife, now liv-
ing in the city, to-day filed his an
ing in this city to-day filed his an
swer to the allegations brought
against him.
The divorce action is the sequel to
a romantic elopement in Greenville.
Ray denies with all force of hu-
man language any intimation or al
legation that he married the COM
plainant by force or against her will" "
but, on the contrary, alleges that on
February 13, 1907, after period of
most devoted courtship, in which the
fondest words of tender affection had
been both written and spoken and
pursuant to previously arranged
plans, met the complainant and was
married by the Rev. P. S. Butler.
Young Ray further says that after
the m arriage ceremony was perform
ed, he took his wife to the home of
his cousin, J. E. Ebrod, where they

he brought his wife back to the home
of her mother in Greenville, where
they remained two days and then
went back to the home of w. q. Da-
Wis in Greenville.
Young Ray says he is fully able to
support his wife and that he did sup
port her before she was taken away
from him, that he still has both a
strong and tender devotion for his
wife, who, he believes, loved him de-
votedly at the time of their marriage
and still loves him, and, if removed
from the influence of her mother,
would again freely join him in the
happy union of conjugal love and con-
tentment.
Young Ray files his answer as a
cross bill and asks the court for the
return of his wife.
