KILLING NEAR DENMARK
DAVE BROWN SHOT GOVAN SAL
LEY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
Killing Occurred on the Plantation of
Mr.. A. II. Neeley-Both
Parties Negroes.

Another killing took place in this
county last Saturday afternoon, making
the second murder in Bamberg within a
week. Dave Brown shot and instantly
killed Govan Salley, both parties being
negroes. The weapon used was single
barrel shot gun, the load taking effect
in Salley's breast and neck.
Dave Brown, the slayer, lives in Den
mark, and has lived there all his life,
his parents living in the same COM
munity. Salley is an Orangeburg negro,
whose father is said to be respected
preacher who lives near that city.
Brown is said to have killed Salley be-
cause of his wife. 1t appears that Sal
ley was great fellow to run after the
wives of other men and Brown got tired
of it. He was at work for Contractor
Geo. H. Hope, on the residence of E. T.
LaFitte, ESQ.,, and when he aspaid off
Saturday afternoon he went to the hard
ware store there and bought a single
barrel shot gun and some shells. With
out saying anything to any one, he at
once left for the plantation Of MIR.
Neeley, where Salley lived, and as soon
as he found him he fred with the result
above stated.
Brown arrived about dusk, and came
up with Salley just after he had finished
feeding up the stock and was his way
home and near his house. Brown called
out to know if that was Salley and when
the answer was yes he said, with an
oath, 81 am going to shoot you. -
The inquest was held by Magistrate S.
G. Ray. There was only one witness, a
negro, and his testimony was substan-
TALLY what has been given. Brown i'm
mediately hid out, and has not been ar
rested so far, although search was made
for him. It is said he will come in and
surrender, but he has not done soyet.

WIFE MARRIED AGAIN.
Augusta Man, Missing for Eighteen
Years, Returns Home.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 21.--Return-
ing after an absence of eighteen
years to find his wife married in good
faith to another man of prominence
and influence in this city, was the fate
Of Frederick Pfaff today. In 1885,
Pfaf was married to Miss Carrie l..
Parr. Five years later Pfaff sudden
ly disappeared, leaving no clue to his
whereabouts and no reason for his
absence. In 1895 his wife read wide
ly published reports Of his death in a
railroad accident, and for many
months wore mourning.
Fully believing that her husband
was dead, Mrs. Pfaf, after several
years of supposed widowhood, was
married a second time to Alfred B.
Connor. Some days ago Mrs. Connor
was greatly shocked to receive posi-
tive proof that her first husband was
still alive.
Although living in contentment and
happiness with her second husband,
she at once began proceedings to have
the marriage annulled.
To-day a decree of annulment was
handed down by Judge Hammond, Of
the superior court, which further de-
clared that the second marriage had
been entered into innocently and in
good faith by all parties concerned as
the result of a lamentable mistake,
and adjudges the parties ientirely
blameless.

Pink Franklin to Hang.

The supreme court has affirmed
the decision Of the circuit court in
the case of Pink Franklin. a negro
who was found guilty Of murder and
sentenced to be hanged. It is rum
ored in judicial circles that the case
will be taken to the United States
supreme court and that a test will be
made of the jury laws Of this State.
Franklin, it will be recalled, was
convicted Of the murder Of 81. b.
Valentine, a magistrates constable,
in Orangeburg county, and was sem
fenced to hang on October ~, 1907.
An appeal was taken and stay Of pro-
ceedings granted. There were a
number of exceptions taken in the
appeal, but the one Of interest was
that the constitution of South Caro-
lima provided that no person who was
allowed to hold Office in 1868 should
be disqualified to hold Office after
wards. The State constitution OF
1895 threw different restrictions
around the requirements. =,
The supreme court dismissed every
exception and held that the point
mentioned above was not well taken
as the act of congress referred to ap-
piled to right to hold congressional
positions. The defendant was repre-
sented by Moorer & Adams, and it is
stated that the United States supreme
court will have to pass upon the case
finally, although the test of the jury
laws of this State is not feared by
Attorney General Lyon.

Military Inspection.

tant General Boyd and Lieut.. Cabaniss,
of the regular army. The company turn
ed out about as strong and made credi-
table showing, being attired in the new
uniforms, which had recently been receiv-
ed. There is no doubt but that the show
ing of the company was satisfactory to
the inspecting officers, and that the Bam-
berg Guards viii become part of the
State militia.

UGARTE'S RECALL
 IS ANNOUNCED

Washington, October 15.-The recall of pr. Angel Ugarte, the minister from Hon. duras to the United States, was an- nounced today when the minister called on Secretary Root and said he had been relieved and would go to Mexico to rep resent his country there.
 Dr. Lazo Arraga, a brother of a for- mer Guatemalan minister to the United States, will succeed. Arrangements are be- ing made for an audience with the Pres- ident when MT. Ugarte will present his letter of recall and his successor his cre- dentials. pr. Ugarte said the mission to Mexico had been offered him more than a month ago.
 The retiring minister denied today a re- port that his change of posts was due to a misunderstanding with Assistant Secre- tary Bacon dating back to last summer, when there was some disagreement be- tween the state department and Honduras growing out of the sA ion of the latter government in cancellihy the exequaturs of two consular officers at Ceiba because of their alleged friendIiness to the revo- lutionists, and it was during negotiations having in view the revalidating of their exequaturs that the reported differences between Mir. Bacon and pr. Ugarte arose. The minister declared today that the in- cident referred to was unimportant and that he and MT. Bacon were the best of friends.

Washington, October 15.-The validity of the act of former Secretary of the h. terior Hitchcock in excluding the names Of 15o0 Indians from the citizenship rolls Of the five civilized tribes of Indians, just before his retirement from office on March 4, 1907, is involved in case which was argued today in the supreme court of the United States and which probably will be decided within the next few weeks.
 The case is that of Secretary Garfield ys. Goldsby a Chickasaw Indian, and Ida and George A. Allison, Cherokee Indians, MT. Garfield having been substituted for Mr. Hitchcock
 These Indians claim that the omission of their names was unwarranted and they brought suit in the courts of the District of Columbia to compel their re- storation The district courts decided in their favor and the government appealed to the supreme court

BY DOLLY DALRYn pLR

scarce as natural gas has been on similar occasions in recent years, just nappeheo to recall that during the preceding sum nner I had bought some boys unlaun- dered shirtwaists that were good sellers and hard to get. There wasn't one left In stock but inquiry revaled that fact that one of my clerks had one at home in the wardrobe of his little boy. When he brought it to the store it was sorry looking object, worn out and faded by many washings, but wish l had 1t today. I would be tempted to have 1t handsome ly framed and installed among those that have been among my best friends. How small a thing will turn failure aside and bring success in its stead, and vice versa. It fairly makes one shudder to think how much often depends upon the way we decide the merest trifie. Be that as it may, that little rag was the start of the material success I have met with.
 MT. Foster says he ripped the waist apart with his own fingers, and the clerks began to cut out similar ones, and so the manufacture of them started in the back of the store.
 I've used pocket knives and scissors. and cut about three thicknesses of cloth" continues MT Foster. Now we often cut 50 at time"
 Women at once seized upon the idea, and today the shirtwaist Is the most popular article of wearing apparel in the feminine world
