YOUNG WHITE TAN KILLED.
His Body Found by Railroad Track
Near Batesburg.

BArEsBURG, Dec. A.-Mr. James
Wertz, a young man who lives at
Leesville and is employed in the store
of L. B. Cullum & Co., Of this place,
was found dead tonight at 8:15, his
body being close to the track of the
Southern railway. The horribly mutt
lated condition makes it difficult to
arrive at the cause of death and upon
this point there is much speculation.
DR.. L. B. Etheridge, who made an
examination, expresses the opinion
and belief that the deceased came to
his death by being struck down by
the passing train.
Others who saw the body are in
clined to the belief that there was
foul play.
The trousers pocket on the right
side was turned inside out and there
was some small change lying on the
ground beside the body. 1t is known
that Mr.. Cullum drew $40 this morn
ing.
Nearby where the first trail OF
blood was found were fragments Of
whiskey bottle, which may have been
the instrument used if there were
foulplay. ,.
Mr.. Wertz is the adopted son OF
Mr.. w. T. D. Kinard of Leesville and
it was his custom to ride to this place
on his bicycle and return at night,
the distance between the two towns
being only three miles, and the bicycle
tracks in excellent condition.
The body was found just beyond
Middlebrook mills, near the junction
of the C. C. & A. and Carolina Mid:
land railroads. The train crew OF
the latter road made the discovery
and report that the body was quite
cold when found.
No time for the holding Of the In
quest has been set. The resident
physician of the Southern Railway
company is i'll and for this reason
there may be postponement OF the
taking of medical testimony.

TURN YOUR FACE

Many Man Has Failed Because His
Face was the Picture Of Calamity

It takes sunshine to produce a
rose, a perfect rose. And so man, to
be successful must have sunshine in
side. The life which has II not,
which has no health and no happi-
ness, is sour. surly, pessimistic, and
a failure. The world already has
too many vinegar faces that breathe
ill-will and strife. The world wants
joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling
to the man who has It. who radates
gladness and triumph wherever he Is
and under all circumstances.
Some people have a genius for
seeking out the disagreeable, the
crooked, the bad and the ugly These
are the destroyeis, they travel In
schools, they herd together for they
love their kind, and the cheerful
part of the world will have nothing
to do with them.
And why Is II that so many peddle
disaster, knowing at the same time
that If they do, their lives will be
ruined? Some people cannot help It,,
for pessimism usually comes from
bodily disorders, and this cannot al
ways be prevented. The stomach
for Instance is the most common
cause of discomfort, sour face, reck-
lessness, disgust and lack Of ambi-
tion. A bad stomach, there is the
secret of many failure. Anyone
