CONJURED BY HER ENEMY.
Negro Girl Thinks She Was MadeStl

Leila Davis, a colored girl at Dur
ham, N. c., has been very i'll under
the belief that she has been conjur-
ed by her rival. The girl and her
black beau quarrelled some time ago
and patched up miserable peace.
Not long since the Davis girl began
to complain. that internally there
were living things that bit her. She
found out that her rival had conjured
her.
Thereupon she went for Silas
Hamilton, and. old conjure-breeker OF
Raleigh, a negro with forty years
experience. His diagnosis was that
the girl had eaten snake dust which
her enemy must have powdered up
and given her in liquid form. Dr.
silas says that snake dust will invar-
iably evolve itself into liye reptiles
as soon as it finds moisture in the
human economy and that unless one
gets it out quickly, he must die.

King Edward Dead.

King Edward VII died at 11:45
o'clock Friday night in London. The
Prince of Wales is King, assuming
the title of George v, and took the
oath before the privy council at q
o'clock Saturday evening.
Coming SO suddenly, the, death OF
the King cannot but bring the great
est sorrow to the nation, in WHOSE
hearts Edward, first as Prince OF
Wales, and afterwads as sovereign,
held first place. His short reign OF
nine years has been history OF stir
ring times. It opened with the con-
clusion of peace after long and try-:
ing campaign in South Africa. and
concluded at the crucial moment OF
one of the most momentous political
struggles of modern times, between;
the Peers and Commons.
In a day the political outlook OF
Great Britain has been revolutions
lied. All through the Empire the
word was flashed and flags were
hoated ats half-mast. Besides the
social gloom which the Kings death
casts over England, several impor-
tant and planned official events
must be abandoned. -
The Prince and Princess Of Wales
were to go to South Africa with
the squadron, and the Prince was to,
open the first Parliament of the new
confederation, but his accession to the
throne will now prevent this.
The death of his Majesty will also
mean abandonment of the principal
functions of Ex-President Roosevelt
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown Immediately, according .
to the laws of the Kingdom, without
official ceremony. His first Official
act was to dispatch to the Lord
Mayor the announcement of his faith
er's death, in pursuance of custom.

FLORENCE MAN SHOT.
Earl Campbell Receives Bullet In.
tended for Another.

Florence, May 8.-Mr. Earl Camp
bell, a clerk at MIR. J. F. Stackley's
East Florence grocery, and son OF
Mr.. D. w. Campbell, of this city, was
shot in the head last night, while at
work in the store, in most mysteri-
Gus manner.
Mr.. Campbell and the other clerks
in the store were preparing to close
up, and were arranging the stock
accordingly. While in the act Of hang
ing a bunch Of bananas the report
of a gun was hear on the outside OF
the building and Campbell was seen
to fall, at the same time exclaiming
that he was shot. Upon examination
it was found that he had received q
bullet wound in the head, from which
blood was flowing freely. He was
quickly taken to physician, and 1t
was then found that the bullet from
A or 4S-calibre rife had struck
him in. the head, just behind the
forehead, passed around under the
skin through the temple and out be-
hind the ear, making an ugly, though
not as yet serious wound. 4
In the meantime the police and
others were searching for the direc-
ton from which. came the shot. il
was found that shot had been fired
from w. P. kogers's livery stables
across the street, directly in front tof
Stackley's store.
Rogers, it is stated, had been
drinking during the evening and had
become enraged with some one at his
house and picked up 44-calibre rife.
and fired at the party. The ball.
missing it's mark, went through the
window of the second story Of the
stable building, where the row was
going on, across the street, through
the open door Of Stackley's, striking
Campbell in the head, as above
stated.
Rogers was at once placed under
arrest and carried to the station
bouse and locked up on the charge OF
firing the, gun. Rogers's childrens
were arrested as witnesses and were
also locked up.
Campbell is doing as well as could
be expected and will get along all
right, unless blood poisoning from
the bullet develops.
It was certainly a close call for
Campbell and the others in the store
at the time.

OLD BUFORD LODGE, A. F. NJ.
District Deputy Pays Visit to His
toric Lodge.

Olar, May 9.-On Saturday night
Buford Lodge, A. F. NJ, was visited
by Col. Butler Hagood, D. D. G. NJ:
This old lodge is now in brand new
quarters and all the paraphernalla is
either new or has the appearance of
such and, while it is really the thir-
teenth working lodge in the State,
none of it's members ever think Of the
i'll fate in the evil number 13.
Col. Hagood found everything per-
fectly satisfactory. All the officers
know their duty and perform it. The
books are neatly mad correctly kept
and a fine balance is shown.
On being called from labor to re-
freshments a sumptuous repast was
spread in the lodge lunch room. All
the substantials and delicacies of the
season were in superabundance.
Buford Lodge hall is situated near
the palatial home of Capt. j. w.
Jenny, where four conties come to-
gether, and it has working members
in four counties, Bamberg, Barnwell,
Colleton and Hampton. Before the
war it was located at Buford's S
Bridge; the lodge was burned, /and
after the war it was removed to its
present location, near Rivers S
Bridge.
The drought is at last broken.
Fine rains have fallen and on a few
farms disastrous hail has fallen.
However, the benefits of the rain will
make up the losses by the hail.

man, on Christmas eve, returned
verdict of not guilty at 9 o'clock to-
night. All day long the court room
was packed and jammed with people.

practically proved an alibi as. to
where he was at the time Of the muir

More interest centered in this trial
than any other ever held in Green

POSTMASTERS AND POLITICS.
Senator Carter Says $416,O0O,OOO a
Year Could be Saved Easily.

Washington, May 9.-Senator
Bourne's speech in the senate on what
he said was the best election law in
the world meaning that of Oregon,
provoked a spirited debate on the
methods of appointing federal off,
GERS generally and postmasters in par
ticular. Senator Carter, chairman OF
the postofice committee, proposed to
have postmasters promoted from one
postof1ice to another, without regard
to state lines, after the manner Of
railroad agents:
Senators Hale and Bacon express
ed themselves favorable to postmas-
ters being placed in the classified
civil service lists, while William Al
den Smith expressed his vigorous
protest against taking postmasters
out of politics.
II resent the idea," said Senator
Smith, that a man must take bath
every morning in order to cleanse
himself from political contamina-
tion."
Senator Smith wanted all postmas-
ters to be political powers in their
communities.
Senator Carter said that it cost
about s241,000,OOO year to run the
postoffice department. "For 1925, 900,
600 a year." said he, "a good business
man who would conduct this business
on the merit system as the Pennsyl-
vania railroad is conducted could give
us a better service in every respect
and make a profit besides"
