A Dramatic Tragedy.

Fort Worth, Texas, March 10
Fred Morris, a baseball player, shot
and instantly killed Otto H. Meyer, a
vaudeville singer in =oom at To-
cal hotel, after having secured a
written confession that his relations
with Mrs. Morris were improper.
The two men came to the hotel to-
gether and were assigned to the
same room.
Shortly after they had retired to
the room, shots were heard. Meyer
was found lying in a pool of blood,
while Morris, upon the approach of
hotel authorities, calmly announced:
Il guess I am the man you are look
ing for. I think the police need
me-"
After he and Meyer had secured
the room, Morris declared he read
an discriminating letter, the signifi-
canoe of which Meyer admitted. He
then forced Meyer to write and sign
the confession and then told him
that he intended to kill him.
Meyer extended his arms" said
Morris, "and told me to shoot him
through the heart so that all would
be over at once. I did as he sug-
gested and would follow him beyond
the grave except for the fact that l
have little boy who I think needs
me to look out for him.
Both men are from Denison,

We were struck with sight which
we witnessed on our main business
street few days ago. 1t was two
horse wagon loaded with home-raised
hay going to the public scales to be
weighed. For a day or two wagons
similarly loaded had been passing
our Office, and we remarked about 1t
to a group of gentlemen in front of
our Office. They knew who was SELL
ing the hay and remarked that the
same man sold homegrown hay
every year. This progressive farmer
is colored man, John Green, and he
not only raises all the corn, hay, etc.,
which he needs, but has some to sell
each year. He readily finds a market
for it at paying prices, and many of
our white farmers would do well to
follow his example. When Southern
farmers raise their supplies at home
and have cotton as surplus crop, we
will be the most Independent people
in the world.

Booker Washington, the negro
educator, of Tuskegee, Ala, is max
Ing speeches in South Carolina this
week and the white people are fool
ishly focking to hear him as well as
assisting in paying the expenses of
the meetings. Washington is the ne
gro who dined with Roosevelt at the
White House, sends his children to
white schools in the North, is enter
tanned by white people in the North,
rides in sleeping cars with white
people when allowed to do so, and in
every way possible shows himself
an advocate of social equality be-
tween the races. 1t is little wonder
we have race problem when
Southern white people give cordial
reception to a negro of the stamp of
Washington.

Loaded.

Judge W. L. Walls, of Cody, Wyo-
ming, has sarcastic humor which
has made many culprits squlrm, and
among the number was a defendant
in a recent cattle-stealing case who
was trying to explain that it would
have been quite impossible for him
to bring into town the beef he was
accused of having stolen and butch
cred, owing to the fact that his two
pack-horses were heavily loaded with
other things One horse, he told the
jury, was packed with his fur over
coat, mining implements, etc., etc.
"And what was on the other horse?''
inquired the judge. well, there
was a gallon of whiskey-there was
a gallon of whiskey-" The fluster-
ed defendant could think of nothing
else. Il knew a gallon of whiskey
was q load for a man. said the
Judge dryly, "but I didn't know it
was a load for a horse. .'-Lippin-
colts. ......
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-03-18

We trust our next city council will
nut on an equitable license system.
Most progressive towns in the State
have a business license system, and
It is nothing but just that those who
get the greatest advantages from a
town government should bear an ex-
ira burden of the expenses. The in
come derived from this source will be
needed to pay expenses the next two
years, especially if the revenue from
the dispensary is cut off.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-03-18

We certainly hope the convictions
at the recent term of court will do
good. Crime is costing Bamberg
county too much money. Often
prisoners have to be fed in jail for a
long time before being tried, and our
criminal courts cost about as much
as our roads and bridges.

Thursday, March l8, 1909

Wouldn't it be good idea to
make county liable for damages in
cases where whiskey was sold to a
confirmed drunkard by dispensers
and the man while drunk killed
somebody or did some other act
which caused damage or trouble to
some one?
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-03-18

Our farmers should remember that
this is the season of the year to con-
troll the price of cotton. If every
farmer in Bamberg county will plant
all the grain and hay he needs and
make his bacon at home, he will, be
In position to hold his cotton this

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite or Distress After Eat
ing Symptom That Should Not
Be Djsreuarded.

Appetite is just natural desire
for food. Loss of appetite or stom-
ach distress after eating indicate in
digestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating
is habit very dangerous to per-
sons good general health and insat-
liable appetite is sure symptom of
diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than
a discorded stomach and many peo-
pie daily contract serious maladies
simply through disregard or abuse of
the stomach.
We urge everyone in Rock Island
who is suffering from any stomach
arrangement, indigestion or dyspep-
STA, whether acute or chronic, to try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the dis
tinct understanding that we will re-
fund their money without question
or formality, If after reasonable use
of this medicine, they are not per-
fectly satisfied with the results. We
recommend them to our customers
every day, and have yet to hear of
anyone who has not been benefited
by them. We honestly believe them
to be without equal. They are made
from the prescription of physician
who devoted all his time to the study
and treatment of stomach troubles
They give very prompt relief, neu-
tralize the gastric juices strengthen
the digestive organs, create good di-
gestion and assimilation, naturally
regulate the bowels, promote perfect
nutrition and create a permanent
cure of all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to. try a Csc box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives Is days treatment. AT the end
of that time, your money will be re-
turned to you if you are not salts.
fed OF course, in chronic cases
length of treatment varies. For sucf
cases we have two larger sizes. which
sell for 45c and $50, T. H. Thoma.

DAVENPORT

To Fight Resubmssion.--A meeting
of the membership of the Davenport
Commercial club is being held this af-
ternoon for the purpose of gaining an
resubmission of the prohibitory amend
ment to the voters of the state, a bill
providing therefor having passed the
lower branch of the assembly, and
now being in the hands of a commit
tee of the senate. kilograms have
been received by Secretary C. A. Steel
announcing that adverse action has
been taken by the membership of the
commercial bodies of Sioux City and
Burlington and that both win send
delegations to Des Moines to protest
against the passage of the bill. 1t IS
understood that the sentiment of the
Davenport Commercial club is almost
unanimously opposed to the resubmis-
sion plan, and it is expected that 4
committee will be selected to go to the
state capital and assist in the move
ment to defeat the enactment of the
bill now before the committee of the
senate. II is likely also that the club
will adopt resolutions setting forth its
position on the question

port headquarters of the /. & l. rail

on the battlefield fighting the red
coats at Lake Champlain. The early
part of his life was spent near his
birthplace on the shores of Lake
Champlain in Vermont. He took an
