"A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY
 FOREVER"

There was in town yesterday, the wife of a certain Dawson divine, a woman of such singular beauty that 1t Is safe to assert that those who saw her will carry her face shrined in their recollections for mora than the passing hour. Her beauty was not of the striking type, her feat ures were not altogether classical. Her beauty lay deeper than this; 1t was in her wonderfully tender and expressive eyes. her eager and sens itIve mouth, 1t was enhanced when she spoke and you heard her soft, yet vibrant, and we'll modulated tones. It was the character that shone through that illuminated this woman's face and made her wholly beautiful, joy to look upon, a woman of thousand.
 We are all worshippers of the beau tiful Snd we all have 1t within our selves to be beautiful-or the reverse. The face to certain extent, is the photograph of the soul. No mar can deeply think, or suffer, or love, or hate without his emotions tracing themselves upon his face. Little by little. day by day, the trend of our thoughts is registered there, altering the expression, showing the habits of vice or dissipation; or else the coun- tenance is slowly suffused under the influence of some great determination, some higher resolve.
 Some of the homliest men of hist ory have been most loved, loved for themselves, because of the character which they displayed. which outweigh ed all irregularities of feature. Such a one was Lincoln, for instance. De spite his gaunt, gaucherie features, who can think that face homely, ir- radiated as 1t is by the wonderful in- ward grace. H
 Unconsciously we judge one anoth- CT by swift glances, We form our first estimates from anothers' face. The man or woman Is fortunate who has & clear eye, a firm chin, a we'll mould ed brow. who, though perhaps not handsome. has a countenance be- speaking strength of purpose, cleanli- ness of thought It should be our daily care so to live as to lay found ation for character of calmness and strength, of sweetness and light.
 So. in the inverse ratio. is the man or woman unfortunate who bear on their features plain evidences of vice. e, hypocrisy, of deceit, of weakness.

Monday and sentenced to be hanged
on the second Friday in December.
The crime of which Edwards was
found guilty is said to have been a
horrible one, in that 1t is alleged
that Mrs. Edwards was shot while
she was cooking the dinner, falling
into the fire and being partially
burned.
Following the killing Edwards left
Berkeley county, and was not heard
from until about six months ago,
when his address was learned by
Sheriff Causey through some letters
which he wrote to persons living in
Berkeley county. 1t was asccrtained
that he was living in Jacksonville,
had married again and had several
children by his second wife, and
was working hard and living COM
fortably, although he is said to have
been rather shiftless before he dis
appeared from Berkeley. He was

The charred bodies of. three mem
bers Of the family of George Hood
an aged white man, were found
Tuesday In the ruins of the Hood
house at Harper, and the body OF
George Hood was removed while the
flames were still. at their height.
The house was destroyed by FIRE
Monday night for the purpose, the
police believe, of covering up q
quadruple murder. Robbery is be-
lieved TO have been the motive for
the crime.
From the ruins the charred and
blackened corpses of Washington
Hood, aged 35 years, his sister, aged
27, and their niece, aged IL years,
were taken. The body of George
Hood, 70 years old. had the head
almost severed, as was seen when
it was dragged from the house.
The burned building was q two
story frame structure, the upper
floor being occupied by the Hoods,
while In the rooms below was a
restaurant conducted by q negro.
The theory is that the house was
fred after the inmates had . been
murdered, though there is not the
slightest clue as to the perpetrator:
Officers Immediately went to the
scene with bloodhounds, but 1t is
said that the dogs failed to- find a
trail. The robbery theory ives sug-
gested by the fact that Washington
Hood Saturday had shown over 500,
in the negro restaurant. -
A younger Hood was attending SER
vices at church near the home and
it was from the church the farnes
were first seen. Hood rushed 'madly
from the church. He fought his
way into the home. which 'wes al

He managed to drag the body down
the stairs and out into the yard,
but when he attempted 10 .go for
his sister, brother, and little child
he found every entrance closed by
the furious flames. When the Games
had subsided. the ruins were, searched
and the charred corpses found.
There seems little doubt that
Washington Hoods throat had been
cut before the .hre was started. The
money that Washington Hood had
exhibited in the negro restaurant
the night before the fire. was all IN
gold, but no trace of It was to be
found In the ruins.
