BOYS are Watched.

When we see the boys on the
streets and in public places, we often
wonder if they know that business
men are watching them. In every
bank, store and Office there will soon
be a place for boy to fill. Those who
have the management of the affairs
of business will select one of the
boys. They will not select him for
his ability to swear, smoke cigarettes,
or tap a beer keg. And the society
swell" who is daft about little social
functions and is happy in the conceit
that he is "just the article" that
young ladies find indispensable on all
occasions, is given the CLASSY stare"
quite as often as the beer guzzler or
cigarette smoker. Business men
have a few loose habits themselves;
but they are looking for boys who
are as near gentlemen in every sense
of the word as they can find, and
they are able to give the character OF
everybody in the city. They are not
looking for rowdies. When a boy
applies for one of these places and is
refused, they may not tell him the
reason why they do not want him,
but the boy can depend upon it that
he's been rated according to his be-
havior. Boys cannot afford to adopt
the habits and conversation of the
loafers and rowdies if they ever want
to be called to responsible positions.

C. C. REED KILLS HIMSELF.
Citizen of Cokesbury Commits Sui
eide, Using Pistol.

Cokesbury, Aug. 25.-The COM
munity was very much shocked this
morning when it became known that
Mr.. C. C. Reed was dead. The cir
cumstances attending his death are
about as follows: He got up about
his usual time and went into one of
the rooms upstairs, where he was
found at 1880 o'clock stone dead
with bullet hole in his left temple
and a .32 calibre pistol by his side.
AS there was no suspicion Of foul
play no inquest was held, there being
no doubt that he took his own life.
Mr.. Reed had been in low spirits
for some time, being in i'll health and
worried about some business affairs.
He had several times threatened to
take his life, but why he should have
meditated any such rash act is be-
yond finding out unless he was men
tally unbalanced in some way. He
had a lovely home, kind and affec-
tionate wife, with plenty of this
worlds goods to support him during
life.
The interment will be at the ceme-
terry at Hodges tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock. The services will be con-
Quoted by his pastor, the Rev. F. E.
Dibble.

Train Kills Automobiles.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 29.-Five per-
sons were killed today when an au-
tomobile in which they were riding
was struck by a fast passenger train
of the Chicago, Rock Island e. Pa
cific railway west of Virginia Station,
st. Louis county. All were residents
of St. Louis.
The dead: Theo F. Witte, The
F. Witte, Jr., aged 3 years; Mrs. Carl
Klinge, Miss Halcyon Campbell,
Frederick O. Witte.
The two men were brothers and
officials of the Witte Hardware COM
pany. Mrs. Klinge was their sister
in-law. The party had been at Creve
Occur lake, about IL miles west of
the city, and were speeding home
ward when killed. Theodore Witte
was driving the machine with his
brother beside him. Mr.. Witte and
his brother were tossed 40 feet away.
The baby's body dropped in front of
the train an eighth of a mile down
the track, and the women, caught in
the tonneau, were crushed almost be-
yond recognition. Theodore Witte
was not instantly killed. He sur
vived long enough to be brought to
a hospital.

DENOUNCE SLAYER.
Threaten to Lynch Gen. Herbert o.
JefPrieS.

Panama, Aug. 27.-The feeling
here against Gen. Herbert o. Jeffries,
of New York, for the killing of Will
liam Nichols Chandler, a South Caro-
linian, editor of The Panama Press,
is very bitter today and threats to
lynch the slayer are being openly
made.
Gen. Jeffries, who commanded Pan
ama's Pacific flotilla when this re-
public came into being, went to Mr..
Chambers newspaper Office. jeff
ries was furious at an article which,
while it mentioned no name, he took
to reflect on Mrs. Claude E. Guyant,
his sister-in-law, aged 18.
While repeating that he is 'Fsorry'
for Chambers death, he says he has
enough powerful backing in the
United States to get him out of the
"scrape" as he calls it.
Chandler was popular and his
friends are the more infuriated by
Jeffries' attack on him because they
insist that the story at which Chand-
ler hinted at in his newspaper has
heen common property for some
time.

Pistol Duel on King Street.

Charleston, Aug. 26.-Two well
known men had a pistol duel at an
early hour this morning on King
street, near Wentworth, but neither
Of the participants were hurt, and
fortunately the stray bullets did not
strike anybody or do other damage,
as far as could be learned today. It
is understood that bad blood has
been existing between the men for
some time. Once before they had a
shooting sdrape and this morning
the trouble broke out again, with
the result that they exchanged sew
eral shots. The quiet of the streets
at the early hours of morning pre-
vented probably the death or injury
of innocent parties. No arrests were
made, the participants of the affair
getting out of the way of the police
officers on the beat. =

CUTS THROAT WITH RAZOR.
L.. A. Bickle, Mail Clerk on Looted
Train, Ends His Life.

Augusta, Aug. 29.-L. A. Bickle,
white, aged 43, an ex-mail clerk on
the Southern railway, almost severed
his head from his body with razor
at his home here this morning. Bick-
le had been in i'll health and it is
said that his mind was unbalanced
because of this and recent bereave-
ments in his family.
He happened to be mail clerk on
Southern train from Charleston on
the night Of May 18 last when the
express car was rifled and when the
train reached Augusta the messenger
was found in a chest. The messeng-
er claimed that he had been knock
ed down by masked men and placed
in the chest. G. P. Humphreys, bag
gage master on the train on the night
of the robbery, cut his throat two
months ago, dying almost instantly,
because he was suspected of the rob-
berry. However, the express officials
do not conect Bickle with the rob-
berry, but it is a fact that the de-
tective, a few days ago, questioned
him regarding the case.

BOYS SKULL FRACTURED.
Peculiar Accident Caused Death Of
Anderson Lad.

Anderson, Aug. 2S.-A peculiar
accident causeI the death of the
five-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. w. Strickland. Ten days ago the
lad was visiting his grandfather
about five miles from this city, and
while playing in the yard he caught
hold of the lighting rod running up
high chimney. The lad jerked
on the rod, and unloosed a brick on
the top of the chimney, the brick
fell, striking the lad on top of his
head. A physician was called in,
and five stitches were taken to
mend the wound To all appear
ances the cash was the only wound,
but two or three days ago the child
became sick. He was taken to the
county hospital, and an examina-
tion disclosed the fact that the brick
had crushed his skull. All that was
possible was done to alleviate the
suffering of the child and to save
his life, but all was in vain. The
lad was particularly bright one
and his parents are greatly grieved
over their loss.

NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH.
Charles Davis Assassinated While
Going Home Near Branchville.

Branchville, Aug. 29.-One of the
most brutal murders that has occur
red in this community in long time
happened Friday night when Charles
Davis, colored, was shot to death
while on his way home from his
work. Davis had been in the employ
of the Southern railway for the past
Is years and for many years past
he had been acting as engineer at
the coal chute here in Branchville.
Davis did not live in town but lived
about three miles above town close
to the railroad, and every even
ing after his work was over he would
go home to spend the night. Friday
night he started home as usual and
had got within about one mile of his
home, about one-quarter mile below
the residence of Mr.. Art Bruce and
within a few steps of road crossing
when he was shot to death.
There was a whole load of buck
shot fired into Davis, striking him
Just above the right nipple and pene-
trating his right lung, a wound
which the doctor said was sufficient
to produce instant death. A very Pc
culiar incident in connection with the
murder was the fact that Davis was
shot with a load of small shot in the
back, just opposite where the load
of buckshot entered the body in the
front. The assassin planned the muir
der we'll, for the body Of the dead
man lay on the railroad track be-
tween the rails, evidently put there
in order that the train might run
over the body and conceal the crime.
An old colored man named Allen
Davis crossed the railroad at the
road crossing near where the crime
was committed and saw what he sup
posed to be the body Of man lying
on the railroad track. He immedi-
ately reported the find to Mr.. Art
Bruce, who investigated the matter
with the result as told above.
Mr.. Bruce came to town at once
and reported the matter to Magis-
trate Dukes and the magistrate had
the body removed from the railroad
track and guarded until corners
jury could be summoned and en-
paneled and view the body.
The next thing, then, was to try
to find out who the murderer was
and while the officers did not have
a good clue, suspicion pointed to
colored man, Mood Reed, who lived
in the same neighborhood as the de-
ceased, and who in times past has
had some trouble with the deceas-
ed.
Unexpectedly Mood Reed came to
Branchville about midnight Friday
night and bought ticket for Den
mark and the suspicion pointed so
strongly to him as being the man
that did the shooting that it was de-
cided to have him arrested. The Of
fcers Immediately telegraphed the
chief of police at Denmark and had
Mood Reed arrested and brought
back to Branchville. An inquest
was held and the testimony produced
was not sufficient to warrant the
court in holding Reed. He was
therefore freed. The coroner's jury
was not dismissed but adjourned un-
til further call of the court.
