WOMAN SHOOTS THREE.
Kills Man Who Wronged Her and
Wounds Two Bystanders.

A special on Tuesday from Gates
vile, Texas, says:
Using an automatic revolver, Miss
Verna Ware, daughter of a proml-
nent farmer of this county, fired into
a crowded court room here to-day,
continuing until her weapon was
emptied, and as result John Hanes,
merchant of Jonesboro, for whom
the bullets were intended, is dead; /;
two bystanders, James Smith and
David Ross, are believed to be NOR
tally wounded and A. P. Wiley, Jr.,
also, disinterested party, is serious
ly wounded.
It was during the conclusion Of the
case on trial in the district court
that the shooting occurred. Miss
Ware, as complainant and Hanes as
defendant in case, oil seduction, the
former in an ante-room and the lat
ter in the court rCcG, were awaiting
the calling of court. Approaching a
window from which a view OF the
court room could be had, Miss Ware
saw Hanes among the spectators and
before she could be restrained drew
the revolver from the folds OF her
dress and opened fire.
Three of the bullets went true to
the intended mark, inflicting wounds
in Hane's back and arms from which
he died within an hour. Smith was
shot in the head and Ross was
wounded in the back and arm. Wiley
received q bullet in his leg.

Before it is Too Late.

If you have a gray-haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put of day by day.
Don't wait until her tired steps
Reach heavens pearly gate
But show her that you think Of he1
Before it is too late.
If you nave a tender message
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait until you forget it,
! But whisper it to-day.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you waltz.
So make your loved ones happy
Before It is too late.
We live but in the present,
The future is unknown
Tomorrow is mystery,
To-day is all our OWE.
The chances that fortune lends to us
May vanish while we wait,
So spend your life's rich treasure
Before it is too late.
The tender words unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long-forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent,
For these some hearts are breaking
For these some loved ones wait
TO show them that you care fol
them
Before it is too late.

In a few weeks q mayor and six
aldermen will have to be selected for
this town. Heretofore it has been
q problem to get men to serve the
public in these positions, and it is to-
be regretted that such is the case.
There should be more patriotism and
public spirit in our town. Some
body has to do this public service,
and those who have not heretofore
done their part should be forced to
do some work for their town. There
are plenty of good men in Bamberg
who have never held a public posi-
ton of any kind, and it is time they
were doing their share. Suppose
that every man in town was just like
you, saying that they didn't have
time, etc., where would your town
be? You wouldn't have any town,
that's all. 1t is unreasonable to ex-
pect few men to give their time
and attention to public affairs year
in and year out, while the larger
part of our citizenship take abso-
lutely no interest in the town or it's
welfare. Let's develop a different
spirit. Let every citizen of Bam-
berg determine that he will serve
the community in any way called on.
Rest assured that the people who
know you will not call on you for
tasks you are not able to perform.

FIGHT SUCCESSFUL.
Leading Republican Says Crum Will
Not be Confirmed.

Charleston, Feb. 6.-The Evening
Post says Crum will not be confirmed
at this session. The Post says its
Washington correspondent gets this
important information from a lead
ing Republican Senator. Whether
Mr.. Taft will reappoint Crum to the
collectorship is problematical.
There is some talk that Crum
might be appointed recorder of deeds
for the District of Col lumbia, post
ton which for years has been held
by negro, or he might be appointed
register of the treasury.
The Posts Washington correspon-
dent says the Republicans would vote
to confirm Crum, but if the Demo
Gratis continue to debate the confir-
nation as they have done, then be-
cause of pressure of other important
matters the confirmation will not be
passed by the Republicans to the ex-
clusion of other business which
means that there will be no vote on
the nomination this session.
No combination has been made
with the Republicans because it is
not necessary. 1t is known that Mr..
Taft would like the Crum case dis
posed Of. but it cannot be done for
want of time, and so it will go over.

WEDS A CHINAMAN.
Pretty Baltimore Girl Becomes the
Wife of Rich Celestial.

Armed with the marriage license,
which had been procured earlier in
the day from Clerk Adam Deupert's
Office, Moy Yon Cuen, one Of the
wealthiest merchants of Washing
tons Chinatown" and Miss Anna
NJ. Workman, pretty girl, who
claims Charles Town, w. Va, as her
home, applied yesterday at the home
Of Rev. Joel T. Rossiter, of the First
Reformed church, for the pastor to
marry them. Rev. Rossiter, WHO
was dumbfounded at the request,
which came from the girl, who, by
the way did most of the talking, both
at the office of the marriage clerk and
at the minister's, asked Miss Work
man whether she realized what she
was doing. The young lady and her
fiance, who is old and wrinkled and
admits to As summers, both claimed
that they realized full we'll the ac-
ton, and with the girls statement
that her parents had no objection,
Rev. Rossiter tied the knot.
The pair departed from the minis
ter's house wreathed in smiles, but
they refused to be interviewed. The
newly wed Mrs. Cuen announced that
it was nobody's business, and her
husband backed her up with several
grunts and a wide smile.
The pair arrived in town from
Washington about 10 o'clock and
were taken in a carriage to the court
house. A curious crowd gathered as
the pair alighted from the vehicle,
but Miss Workman brushed the curl
Gus ones aside and escorted her hus-
band to the office of Mr.. Deupert.
Here Cuen took the lead and applied
for the license while Miss Workman
waited in the corridor. The Celestial
evidently became confused, for few
minutes later he called to his fiancee
to enter. The latter then made the
request for the necessary paper, and
gave her age as % and that Of Cuen
as As. .,
The crowd of curious ones had
meanwhile entered the corridors, and
Cuen, who is but five feet four inches
tall and a whole head shorter than
his wife, grabbed Miss Workman and
hurried her through the crowd.
When the carriage was reached the
cabby whipped up his horses and the
pair were driven rapidly 70 Rev. DR..
Rossiter's home, where the ceremony
was performed.
Moy Yon Cuen is a partner in the
Tsue Lung Company, importers, one
of the largest Chinese houses in
Washington. He has been married
before and has three children, one of
whom is said to live in China and two
in Washington. His first wife is
buried in China. One of Cuen's
cousins, who keeps an importing
house in Washington, married a
white woman about seven years ago.

The Methodist church has not
been helped any by that Livingston
church affair. If the presiding elder
was opposed to the use of dispensary
funds for building the church, as
well as knowing that such contribu-
ton by the town authorities was IL
legal, why did he allow the erection
of the building to go on? The pub
lished explanation comes far from
being satisfactory, and we regret that
the opposition of the preachers was
not sufficient to keep the matter
from going as far as it has.

Postofice Safe Cracked"

Canton, Ca, Feb. 9.-The postof-
flee safe here was blown open this
morning at O'Clock by profession
ais and robbed of stamps to the val
ue of $4,000. The robbers escaped
in a buggy. They failed to secure
$500 locked in another portion OF
the safe. Residents adjoining the
postofice detected the men at work,
but were afraid to give an alarm, as
pickets patroled the streets in front
of the building.
The burglars broke open a black
smith shop to secure tools to break
down the doors leading to the safe.
Two blasts were fired and the explo-
sive used was nitroglycerine.

LONGEST ROAD IN WORLD.
Cape-to-Cairo Railway to be Com
pleted in Three Years.

F. Won Gheel Gildemeester, chief
engineer of the Cape Town-Cairo
Railway Syndicate, now in charge of
the operations which, within a few
years, will form the connecting link
between North and South Africa, is
stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria. He
is in the United States to make a
study of the railway system of this
country.
I'm the Cape Town-Cairo Rail-
way" said Mr.. Gildemeester, there
is at present stretch of about $500
miles to be completed. 1t lies be-
tween Khartoum, in the British
Egyptian Sudan, to Broken Hill, a
point in Rhodesia. 1t is estimated
that this remaining mileage will be
completed within three years, and
then the longest railroad in the
world, covering in the neighbprhood
of $500 miles, will be finished.
what do I estimate the total cost
to be-? Very close to f200,000,000,
of about s1,000,O00,000, I should
say, but comparatively small
amount when it is considered what a
glorious thing it will be for Africa,
one of the greatest and richest coun-
tries of the world. 1t will be possible
for the traveller to journey from Ber-
lin or Paris to Cape Town in ten or
eleven days-just think of that! And
then it will open up country that is
rich in almost everything in the min
eral world-gold, silver, copper and
diamonds. What else they will find
there remains to be seen.
Its a great work, is this building
of the longest railway, and what it
all means to Africa and the world is
not fully appreciated, am afraid. To
the business man, to be found every
where, and especially those having
affairs in Africa, it will be wonder
full thing. Where now, in travelling
from Paris for example, he is COM
PEELED to take long sea trip, he will
be able, after the completion Of the
road, to take train to Brindisf,
Italy, thence by boat to Alexandria,
Egypt, and a short journey to Cairo,
where he will take the train that will
land him in Cape Town, at the south
ern extreme of Africa, all in eleven
days. Just at the present time we
are working in a rather disagreeable
country-that is to say, a country
which has fair climate, but fever is
quite prevalent. The engineers on
the work are of German, American
and English, with, Of, course, the
Kafir as the laboring factor. New

The house of representatives
made a serious mistake, in our
opinion, in doing away with the ex-
change of mileage for tickets. This
regulation of the railroads was a
most reasonable one, and one which
our lawmakers had no business to
interfere with. We will warrant that
3if some of those members of the
house who voted for Mr.. Smiths bill
had to run a railroad they would see
the wisdom in such a rule.

TLLMAE'S USUAL RANT.
Makes a Spectacle of Himself in En-
ecutiye Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution, whose information
comes direct from several unques-
tionable sources, sends to his paper
tonight the following report of the
Tillman affair in the executive ses-
sion of the senate to-day:
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
delighted the Republicans and out
ragged his Democratic colleagues by
his remarks on Southern States suf-
frage restrictions Many of the
Democrats got up and left the cham
ber. The negro-philes listened with
their hands to their ears. eager to
catch every word.
Senator Tillman insisted that the
disfranchisement laws of the South
were frauds on their faces; that
their administration was a joke;
that they were in open and fragrant
violation of the fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments; that they were
aimed solely at the negro and dis
franchised him because he was a ne
gro.
The fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments are not worth the paper
they were written on said Senator
Tillman, while every man in the
chamber gasped with CONSERVATION.
I'VE have an educational Qualifica-
ton in South Carolina. But we
know how to handle that. There
never was negro enfranchised un-
der it and there never was white
man dlsfranchised.'
Senator Tillman admitted having
once in his life voted for negro.
It was before the days of the dis
franchisement amendment. He was
living in the Anderson district
which was overwhelmingly black
Republican. He said the Democrats
had gerrymandered the district so as
to get all the negroes in that district.
ut had wings like bat and legs
like a grasshopper, said the South
Carolinian. "Well, got tired voting
tissue paper ballots and once voted
for the negro candidate. But we
settled that condition with our dis
franchisement law"
He adverted to the Japanese situ-
atiCn in California and took the anti
japanese side of the controversy,
saying it was a plain case of radical
antipathy and that he was on the
side of the white man.
There is law of God and law
of man, and l am for the law OF
God. He put a brand upon the negro
and the negro can not change that
brand any more than the leopard can
change his spote."
Mr.. Tillman was supported by his
colleague from South Carolina, Mr..
Gary, who spoke for forty minutes
discussing the issue in perfectly
legitimate way as social issue. He
said that there was no question but
that Crum could discharge the
duties of the. Office, but that he
should not be forced upon people
to- whom he was distasteful. He said
most of those with whom Crum
would come in contact were white
people, as the negroes imported very
few articles from abroad.
There is a well recognized prin-
ciple in diplomatic circles which
should not be entirely ignored in our
domestic politics. 1t is that person
who is persona non grata to the COM
in which he is sent is with
drawn by his government. The
President should withdraw; the nomi-
nation of Crum."
