a guest, Rev. James E. Freeman, were
with him.
The death of the chief justice was
entirely unexpected, as he had been
in apparently good health lately, and
there had been no premopitory symp-
toms of trouble
Though there have been reports
that Ill health would force Mr.. Full
ler's retirement from the bench dur
ing the last seven years. he was be
lieved TO be in the best Of health when
he left Washington for his summer
vacation. On his seventy-seventh
birthday, Feb. u last, he announced
that he had never felt stronger in his
life and that he had no intention of
retiring.

Charles f. Hughes. of New York, will
become chief justice of the United

Raymond Clay, Il linotype operator,

discovered at $50 o'clock, was lying
in a closet, where he had gone, ap-
parently in an effort to escape. He
was here only Il week, coming from
Knoxville and Atlanta, He was said
to have been unacquainted with the
building, and lost his life in futile
attempt to get out. Other operators
in the makeup rooms were forced

look for the man in the excitement.
In the effort to locate him, fellow
machine men went back into the
smoking ruins and found his body
burned almost beyond recognition.
He was past assistance whom found.
He was a young man and unmarried.
The entire force Of the paper was
driven from their posts OF duty,

was spreading. The loss will be

Tradition says that in the year
1904 Rev. Andrew Brown, a Presby-

airy work in Pickens District, now
known as Oconee county, and preach
ed in log house near Mrs. Wards,
on the road leading from Westmin-
ster to Oakway, about two miles
from Westminster post Office. The
house was forcibly taken possession
of by one who was banished from
his home in a neighboring district,
and services were held in private
houses until one John Oliver Green
donated seven acres Of land for a
Presbyterian church on the site
where the Old Westminster Baptist
church now stands. a house was
built on the grounds and Mr.. Brown
supplied the congregation for some
time, and finally moved to Alabama
and died about the year 1920. MIR.

 Although the genial manager of the iadsden Hotel is wifeiess and a mem Ier of the Don't Worries. yet at one time he married a whole family and yet remained single. Tommy Law tells this himself. and hence it must b. so. And here is the tale which Tommy tells:
 Tt is several years ago now. and it don't matter where it happened, but it did happen. I was introduced into a family where there were three daughters, and these girls were as pretty and sweet as any I have ever met. at once became attentive to the eldest. It was not many weeks ater when she became engaged to mother fellow and later she married Having lost out with the eldest. I transferred by affections to the sec ortunate man, and turned to the oungest daughter and brought to her the same good fortune which had come to her two older sisters. She too, became engaged and was mari cd. Thus I married off the family aud if there had been any more sis CTS left l might have won out in tho end. As it was I had to buy three wedding gifts and received none But certainly brought good luck into that family.
