ENDS LIFE WITH SHOTGUN.
Eldest Son of Former Sheriff of York
County Shoots Himself in
Head.

The State.
Rock Hill, Nov. 14.-Sunday after
noon, about 5 o'clock, David Logan,
oldest son Of ex-Sheriff John R. Logan,
of Yorkville, living on Mr.. Logan's
farm, southwest Of that city, took a
shotgun and deliberately blew his
brains out. Mr.. Logan, with another
brother or two, had been keeping
"bachelor's hall" at the farm. He
had on one or two occasions, threat
ened to kill himself, but his words
were not taken seriously.
Yesterday afternoon, about 5
o'clock, younger brother left the
house on some domestic errand, and
shortly after he left the house an
other brother, who had ben absent
from the place, rode up on horseback.
Just as he was riding into the yard he
heard a gun fired. Upon investiga-
ton he found David Logan's body
on a chair with the top Of the head
blown off and the brains and pieces Of
skull scattered all over the room.
Mr.. Logan had placed the gun be-
tween his knees, put the barrel
against his forehead and blown the
entire top of his head off.
No cause is assigned for the act,
except that it is said he had been
drinking.
His remains were buried this after
noon at Bethesda church at 2 o'clock.

ment and concluded that it would be
wise to vote against it as he did not
know what it contained.
1t will be seen that. very heavy
majority was cast against each one OF
the amendments in this county. The
vote in the county was very small in
proportion to the registered vote. The
vote of the primary was about 2,80O
The registered vote is fully $500, so
it will be seen that no more than one
fourth of the registered vote was
cast.

his power to appoint railroad COM

his power to appoint railroad COM
missioner.
Activities about the governors Of
fee have been Of an increasing ma
ture during the past two weeks, and
Gov. Ansel evidently realizes that he
has a great big job before him to ap-
pease all the applicants and their
friends.
The Governor Wants a Job.
That Gov. Ansel has filed applica-
ton for a. federal 1udgeship, should
this State be divided into two districts
is given as a most authoritative piece
of information and is being generally
discussed.
It is known that there has been a
movement agitated for some time for
the creation Of another federal dis
trict in this State. Judge Brawley, OF
Charleston, is the present federal
Judge for the entire State, and holds
court in all sections Of the State. The
proposition is to have a western and
eastern district. The western dis
trict Of the State would include the
counties Of Piedmont section Of South
Carolina.
Gov. Ansel has already said that
when he leaves the office Of governor
next year that ne intends to go back
to Greenville and resume the prac-
tice Of law. He was an attorney In
the Piedmont for many years and
was a. most efficient solicitor.
Now the information comes that
Gov. Ansel is laying his wires most
carefully for the federal judgeship,
which would pa yhim salary Of $5,-
900 annually and would retire him
on the same amount IN a reasonable
number Of years.
May be @Trading."
The information has also come, in
a. roundabout way-caused by con-
ferences on the subject Of a railroad
commissioner-that certain intima-
tions have been made that some or
ganizations might not be pleased with
the appointment This has caused
Gov. Ansel, so it is said, to be very
careful in his deliberations, for fear
he might offend some political organ
ization.
The selection Of a railroad COM
missioner has also brought out this
information, that if certain men are
not appointed for the one position, re-
quired to be filled by one man, that
a movement will be started in the
next general assembly to have the
Office of railroad commissioner abol-
ished. There has been puch COM
plant of late as to the work Of the
railroad commission. The charge has
been made that the commission has
not been as efficient and active as it
might have been.
So the struggle goes merrily or for|
the position for two years that would
pay $1,000 annually.

MRS. HUMBERT APPRECIATED.
Letter From a Co-WOrker in the Mis-.
sion Work Paying Tribute to
Mrs. J. W. Humbert

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mr.. Jno. M. Kinard, which,
no doubt, will be read with interest
by the many friends Of Mrs. M. NJ.
Humbert in Newberry. Mrs. J. B.
Cobb is secretary of the foreign de-
partment of the woman's work with
headquarters at Nashville, Tenn:
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 8, 1910.
Mr.. John M. Kinard, Newberry, S. G.
Dear Friend: Your telegram brought
real SORROW to my heart, and while I
had heard sometime ago that Mrs.
Humbert was not very well, I was not
prepared for the news that the mes
sage brought. Only a few days ago
wrote her something of the work
which. I knew was so dear to her
heart.
Her going away will indeed prove a
great loss to our work. AS l have
written recently to both her and Mrs.
Wightman, the record made by the
S. C. conference through their inlu-
ence was marvellous. I see her so
plainly as she sat in our midst at our
annual meetings with her calm, sweet
expression, her silvery locks; and I
recall how dear to her was every
phase Of the work discussed in our
meetings. I had the pleasure Of being
present at the conference held at Or
angburg, and + saw the devotion Of the
women to Mrs. Humbert and Mrs.
Wightman, and how they were will
ing to be led by the suggestions made
by the two women whom they esteem
ed so highly.
I can not think of board meeting
without Mrs. Humbert- For so many
years she has been such an import
ant part Of the body that I am wonder
ing how her place can be supplied.
For years she has guided, with such
strong, loving hands, the S. c. wo-
man, and has had the pleasure Of see
ing the conference grow year by year.
I know it was a JOY to her, at the
last meeting, to see the women re-
spond so readily to the unusual calls
that were made upon them, and I
remember so well the letter she wrote
me about their taking up the work in
Korea. At the last conference in Korea
two women were sent to Choon Chun,
and it is probable that their going
there was prompted by the action tax
en- by the S. G. women in pledging
$4,000 for this work.
I notified Mrs. Trueheart and Mrs.
Butler at once Of the telegram, for
they we're both perfectly devoted to
Mrs. Hunbert, having associated with
her for years in the work.
A meeting Of the executive commit
tee will be called this week, and suit
able resolutions will be offered with
regard to the home going Of our dear
friend.
I thank you for the telegram, and
beg that you will please extend our
sympathy and love to the family of
Mrs. Humbert.
Very sincerely,
Alice c.. Cobb.

A Horse Shoe Contest.

Editor Public Opinion:
Some weeks ago you published
in your paper what purported to
be a horse shoe contest between
Mr.. Kenyon and myself and that
Mr.. K. was lauded as the champion
of Winneshiek county. The fact OF
the matter is that the game was
arranged by Mr.. Kenyon so he
could have a workout.
! want to state further, that Mr.
Kenyon is not the champion horse
thrower of Winneshiek county, and
have a purse of $40 to back up
my conviction.
Yours respectfully,

Treasurer's Report Public Librar,
1t is Called Adventure.

Adventure, the newest of the
magazines, makes its bow this
month to reading public. and par
ticularly to the reading public who
likes stories of action-stories in
which something happens" The
Ridgway Company, publishers of
Everybody's, are behind it, and it
is evidently their intention to de-
vote an entire magazine to the
widespread demand among people
of all classes for good, stirring,
red-blooded tales of adventure OF
every variety. Judging from the
first issue, it is also the publish
ers intention to see that their
stories are not only exciting but
exceedingly well told. Adventure
belongs among magazines of the
first rank, rather than those of the
second or third.
