Mantle in the county court house at
Bryson City tonight Omar Conley
was instantly killed, Barret Banks,
lost both eyes and was otherwise Sc
riouely injured, and Lee Francis, reg
istrar of deeds of Swain county, was
fatally injured.
Conley and Banks were thaWlng

West end of the court house. Many
valuable county records and legal
papers were destroyed. Registrar

Magistrate Suspended.

Columbia, Jan. 28.-Because D. L..
Gault, a magistrate in Union county,
bet "a few times on game of
chance" he was suspended from office
to-day by Governor Ansel. Gault had
been summoned to show cause Janu-
ary Is, why he should not be removed
when the matter was reported to the
Governor. The official charge was
misconduct.
On July 4 as Gault admits in his
own affidavit he "bet a few times on
a game of chance" and was notified
to appear in court He did not ap-
pear for trial.
Governor Ansel, in removing Gault,
says: "It appears to my satisfaction
from the facts shown that the con-
duct of the said D. L. Gault in bet
ting is unlawful. 1t was his duty
to put down all violations of the
criminal laws, but instead he engaged
with others in the violation of the
very laws he was supposed to en-
force"
There was a number of affidav'ts
stating that Gault's character was
good. However, Gault's own afada,
Wit convicted him.

Death of Mr.. j. Nj. Jennings.

Mr.. NJ. w. Brabham, the Bamberg
correspondent of the State, writes as
follows of the death of Mr.. j. NJ.
Jennings:
Bamberg, Jan. 27.-John NJ. Jenn-
ings, a very highly respected resident
of this place died last night at his
home after an illLess of only a few
days, although he had been in ill
health for several months. Mr..
Jennings leaves a widow, who was
Miss Moore, of San Antonio, Texas,
and the following sisters: Mrs.
Mary Ann Bamberg and Mrs. Quat-
tlebaum of this place; Mrs. B. H.
Knots of North, half sister Miss
Llewellyn Cleckley and one brother,
Geo. A. Jennings also of Bamberg.
The following children survive him:
Mrs. Julia Reynolds, Miss Mamie
Gee Jennings, Messrs. G. H. Jenn-
ings, Henry, Marion and Donnie Fair
Jennings, all of Bamberg. The body
was laid to rest in Restland cemetery
this afternoon, Rev. T. G. Herbert, OF
the Methodist church conducting the
services. Many friends were present
and the floral tributes were many.
If there is any one thing aside
from the genial and friendly charac-
ter Of this man which will endear him
to the people of this community for
man, years to come, it is that he is
the originator of artesian wells in
this community. Years ago he bored
the first well here and after all
hope of successfully constructing one
had failed, he carried on the work
to final success and to-day there are
wells Of this kind throughout the
town, nearly every one Of which, per-
haps every one, he bored. The health
of this community has, been made
the equal of that of any in the lower
section of South Carolina largely
through this pure water. The name
of Jennings will always be synony-
nous with good water in Bamberg.
Mr.. Jennings was SO years old and
spent most of that time in this and
the neighboring community. For II
years he lived in Texas.

Pythian Company Formed.

Barnwell, January 2S.-On Friday
evening Company No. IL, Uniform
Rank Knights of Pythias, of Barn
we'll, was mustered in. About thirty
five members from the BarnWell
Lodge. No. 16, we're present. The
election of officers was as follows:
CAPTAIN, J. Emile Harley; first lieu
tenant, T. E. Cummings; second
lieutenant, Ben Wyman; treasurer,
G! w. Marville, recorder, w. G. Jen-
nings; guard, J. B. Morris; sentinel,
]. K. Snellings.
The uniforms Of the company are
black, bordered by black braid, and
the caps are made up like a cadet
cap, matching the uniforms. TAX
ing it as whole the uniforms are
very pretty, and with each member
wearing a sword at his side, the
company looks as if it were a COM
pany of officers. Each sword has
the name of the owner inscribed on
the blade, and the only difference in
the swords is that the officers swords
are mounted in gold, and the pri'
Yates in silver.
The company will go on it's annual
encampment this summer at Ben
nettsville.

NEGRESS KILLED IN LEXINGTON
Negro Man Arrested ON Charge OF
Staying His Wife.

Lexington, Jan. 27.-Henry Lyles,
a negro, is in Jail here, charged with
wife murder, the jury of inquest hav-
ing found that Silla Lyles came to
her death by gunshot wound in
ficted by her husband. Lyles denies
the charge but the circumstances in
the case, according to the statement
of Coroner B. D. Clarke, point strong
ly against him. Silla Lyles was shot
in her bed at her home, near Chapin,
in the Fork, on Tuesday night about
10 O'Clock, the contents of shot
gun taking effect just beneath her
left arm, causing instant death. The
coroner and Sheriff Carley were no
tilted and both went to the scene Of
the tragedy. The inquest was con-
cluded to-day and the arrest Of Lyles
followed. There were no eyewitness
es to the shooting. Lyles says that
he left his house about 8 o'clock,
and about 10 o'clock he heard shot,
and upon returning to his home he
found his wife lying in a pool Of
blood on the bed cold in death. He
cannot satisfactorily explain where
he was during the time he left his
house until he returned, and this,
the officers think, is a strong clue to
the tragedy. The people of the COM
munity are said to be somewhat
wrought up over the matter and are
strong in the belief that Lyles killee
his wife, although there is no known
reason why he should have wanted
to kill her.

HASKELL AGAIN UNDER FIRE.
Oklahoma Provides Another Alleged
Scandal.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 29.-In addi-
| ton to the sworn charges filed
against Governor Haskell and the
State Banking Board, alleging mis-
appropriation and misuse Of State
funds late to-day accusations similar
ly attested were filed with the legis-
lative investigating committee against
the school land department by Rep
resentative Humphrey, of Atoka.
1t is declared that $205,92O of the
funds of the school land department,
Ed O. Cassidy superintendent, has
been misappropriated and used con-
trary to law. This is based on the
official report of State Examiner and
Inspector Taylor and opinions of At
torney General West.
Governor Haskell said tonight he
was glad the charges had been filed
as the people of Oklahoma at last
would have the chance to learn the
whole truth
The charges against Governor Has
kell and other State officers were
filed to-day in the lower House Of
the Legislature by Representative l..
A. Maris, representing the Republi-
can minority.
In general, the charges against
Governor Haskell are that he mis-
managed the public funds under his
control in whole or in part, and has
wilfully and designedly authorized
the misappropriation of said funds. y
The last legislature appropriated
$1,000 to be expended under the di-
rection of the Governor in the audit
ing of territorial accounts. In his
affidavit, Representative Maris charg-
ed that Governor Haskell paid nearly
s2,10O of this fund to private de-
tective, who Mr. Maris further charg-
es, is not an accountant. The legis-
lature also appropriated $4,000 to be
used by the Governor in paying for
investigating committees, and the
travelling expenses of delegates to
various national conventions. The
Governor is charged with paying the
sum to the private detective also.
Representative Maris calls atten-
ton to public money paid by Cover
nor Haskell to o. T. Smith, his law
clerk, in addition to the latter's regu-
Lar salary, which Mr.. Maris charges
was not for State purposes, but in the
private interest of the Governor. At
tention is called in the affidavit to an
alleged similar payment of $500 to
w. T. Hutchings, Muskogee lawyer,
indicted with Governor Haskell in the
town law fraud cases.
w. B. Anthony, the Governors pri-
vate secretary, is also member. OF
the legislature, and Representative
Maris asserts in his affidavit that it
is contrary to the State Constitution
for Anthony to hold the two posi-
tiOnS.
