FORT LAWN FIRM FAILS.
Rise in Cotton Drives j. u. DanicR
& 70. to the Wall.

Papers have been sent to the
United States Court at Charleston
asking that Mr.. ]. B. Daniel, Of
Fort Lawn, trading as j. B. Daniel
& Co., be adjudged banrupt. This
hearing has been fixed for next Mon
day, and the big store at Fort Lawn
will be closed at that time. The
proceedings are not in voluntary
form, but will not be contested by
Mr.. Daniel.
Mr.. Daniel's failure is due to his
selling 1000 bales Of cotton at 10
cents, or figures about like that,
thinking when the staple rose to
be able to get enough off his own
farm and buy the remainder to COM
plete his contract, but the continued
rise in the price and the almost en-.
tire failure of his own crop put him
something like $4,000 to $4,000
to the bad, and he was unable to
meet his obligations.

FOUND DEAD

TWO AGED SISTERS
Frances Hung Herself at 2.1-s Sat.

Box Cover-Hat Pin Wounds
Found on Both Bodies-Women
Had Lived Alone Fifteen Years.

Had Lived Alone Fifteen Years.
Two aged spinster sister, Frances
and Isabel Ritchie, were found dead
Sunday in their home in Newark,
N. J.
The sisters had lived quietly and
alone for the past twenty years In
the same house. Their source OF
income was as mysterious as their
secluded life, but they kept their
house in or1er and paid their bills
regularly. The older woman, Fran
ces, was sc years old; the sister, a
few years her junior.
Frances was found dead lying on
the floor, while the body of the otn-
er sister dangled from Il piece of
clothes line made fast above the door
leading from the dining room to
the kitchen. The first indications
were that Frances had died from
natural causes and that Isable had
hanged herself in paroxism OF
grief. This theory was dispelP d
when a small box was found in the
dining room, on the cover of which
had been written these words: Fran
ces hung herself at 2.1-2 Sat. Me,
toc." {.
This lead to the belief that the
two old women had carried out a
suicide pact. Frances hanging her.
self first, and the body being cut
down by the sister. But further In
vestigation brought to light more
gruesome details. Underneath her
clothing and sticking in the breast
of Frances was a hat pin, buried in
the flesh up to its black head. The
pin had been driven close to the
heart to a depth Of about four inch
es. Similar wounds, but not Of such
a serious nature were found on the
other body, which leads to the be-
lief that the sisters may have quar-
relied and fought.
Whether Frances deliberately
hanged her sister, then killed her
self with the, hat pin, or whether
the sister found hanging stabbed
the other and then ended her life,
will perhaps never be known.
The hands of the body on the floor
were carefully crossed and the head
rested on a sofa cushion.
There is a possibility that both
were murdered, but the house shows
no trace OF having been entered by
strangers.
The women had lived alone since
the death Of their mother more than
fifteen years ago, with large dog
as their sole companion. Recently
the dog died, and since that time the
women had been despondent.
The owner Of the house which
they occupied, having been unable
to gain admittance since Tuesday
last, notified policemen who forced
entrance. The women were last
seen alive on Saturday.
