implored him not to desert her, but
Gebhardt whipped out revolver, and
while the girls arms were still about
his neck and her lips pressed to his,
shot her dead and then left the body
where it had fallen. The crime was
not unearthed for some time.
After the shooting Gebhardt re-
turned to his wife and family in AS

October and broke down and con-
fessed to the police.

WOMAN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Mrs. Daisy Kennedy, Of Lake City,
Takes Dose of Laudanum.

Lake City, Oct. 19.-Mrs. Daisy
Kennedy, respectable white woman
of this town, attempted suicide last
night. She took two ounces Of laud-
anum. Medical aid was summoned
as soon as the attempt was discover
ed, which was within few moments.
By close attention and use of proper
antidotes fatal results were averted,
but it was several hours after the
deadly draught was taken before she
was out of danger.
Mrs. Kennedy, who is the wife OF
Mr.. J. E. Kennedy, has been in bad
health for several months, and it Is
also said that family relations were
not altogether pleasant-in fact she
and her husband have been living
apart several weeks. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that her mind has
become disturbed by brooding over
her family troubles, and that it was
in a fit of dependency amounting to
insanity, that she attempted to end
it all.
She is a daughter of Mr.. Joel P.
Phillips, who is a respected citizen.
Her first husband was H. c. Goodwin,
who was magistrate at this place a
few years ago.
Mrs. Kennedy has three children.

BRING CATTLE HERE.
Over Thirty Cars of Beeves During
Present Week.

During the present week over 80
cars of beef cattle have been brought
to this State by South Carolina farm
ers. This means that within one week
the farmers have brought in over
1000 animals to be fattened for the
market. The cattle have ben brought
to the State under the direction of
the United States farm demonstration
office. The government recently de-
tailed DR.. C. NJ. Morgan to promote
live stock in this section of the South
He is located in the office of Ira w.
Williams at the capitol.
There will be 40 car loads Of cat
tie brought to the State under the di-
rection of the farm demonstration
work. These will be distributed on
several farms. Last Sunday morning
there was special cattle train of 19
cars made up here for Aiken.
Of the 1000 cattle brought to the
State last week 400 were for the Tay-
lor farm, which is located near Co.
lumbia.
The feeding of beef cattle follows
the programme as outlined by the
demonstration work. There has been
a great interest in corn production in
the State and the farmers are in bet
ter position to feed cattle for the
markets. There are many agencies
in the State working in the interests
of live stock and reports received by
the several departments indicate that
there is money in cattle feeding.
There is also a special agent of
the Cotton Seed Crushers' association
working in the interest of live stock.
The extension work of Clemson Col
lege will place man in the field to
interest the farmers in live stock and

NO BISHOP FOR NEGROES.
Cincinnati Convention Puts Quitus on
the Matter.

Cincinnati, O., Oct 19.-An amend
mend to the constitution of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church calling for
the establishment of missionary dis
tricts along racial lines was voted
down decisively by the house of depu-
ties at the triennial convention of
that body. The negroes have long
wanted bishop of their own but the
vote to-day was of such character
as to quiet any suggestions along this
line that might be made in the near
future. Rev. Jos. Dunn of the dio-
cese of Southern Virginia, in speak
ing against the adoption OF the
amendment said: ''The emancipa-
ton of the negroes was a dire dis
aster as the negro at that very time
was in need of all the teachings and
help that could ba given to him by
his white brother. They lost all of
this and the church has As years of
misguidance to undo.
"The negroes cannot grasp the
idea of the church as yet. Their re-
ligion at the present is mostly emo
tional and l believe that the passage
of this amendment would be fatal in
regard to the negroes"

NEGRO FARMER ARRESTED.
Lodged in Jail for Shooting Chain
Gang Trusty.

Manning, Oct 19.-Ned Blackwell,
a prominent negro farmer, who lives
about four miles south of Manning,
is in Jail here to await the develop
ments of pistol shot wounds inflicted
by him on the person of one Joe
Lewis, a chain gang trusty. Accord
ing to report, negro convict work
ing on the chain gang, few miles
out on the Sumerton road, made
his escape last Saturday, and Joe
Lewis, the trusty, was armed and sent
in search of the fugitive. He went
to Blackwell's place Saturday night
and acted in such a manner as to
cause Blackwell to order him away.
He refused to go and Blackwell fired
on him with a pistol, wounding him
twice, once in the left wrist and again
in the left chest near the collarbone.
The ball of this second wound is still
in the body, together with fragments
of soiled clothing. Such being the
case. while he is now apparently get
ting along very we'll, the attending
physician cannot certify that he is
out of danger, and hence the COM
mitting magistrate cannot admit the
defendant, Blackwell, to bail. 1t is
said that Blackwell is quite success
full farmer, making about 100 bales
of cotton a wear.

MAKING A CHEEK.
Mans Arm Sewn on His Face-MOst
Remarkable Operation.

Mans Arm Sewn on His Face-Most
Remarkable Operation.
With the skin of his right arm
sewn to his face and the whole arm
and head firmly inclosed in heavy
plaster cast, a patient at Guys hos
pital is now undergoing one Of the
most remarkable cures ever attempt
ed at this institution.
AS the result of a slowly develop
ing growth on the right cheek most
of the upper jaw and overlying It's
sues had to be removed six years ago.
After this operation a hollow large
enough to hold a hens egg and de-
void of skin remained. The present
operation is an attempt to cause the
arm to take root over the denuded
area so as to provide new cheek.
At the operation, which was per-
formed ten days ago, an area OF skin
two inches square was lifted from
over the right biceps, so that three
edges were free, the fourth side being
left attached to the arm. The pa
tient's arm was then raised and bent
over his head, so that the bend OF his
elbow touched his forehead. The
free end of the flap was then drawn
over the sunken part of the cheek
and stitched to the side Of the nose
and mouth. The whole arm and head
were then firmly bandaged, and a
strong plaster cast was applied.
"The skin flap had to be left at.
tached to the arm," one Of the sur
genos explained yesterday, that ii
could have some blood supply until
new vessels have formed at the point
where the flap is sewn to the nose. In
ten days time, that is three weeks
after the operation, we shall cut away
the square of skin from it's remaining
attachment on the arm and sew Il
over the remainder of the gap. We
can then remove the patients plaster
| cast and free him from his uncom
Portable position"
AS rule these operations fail be
cause the patient is unable to with
stand the pain of his cramped posi-
ton and tears the arm away before
the flap has properly taken root.

C. & O. TO PURCHASE c., C. & o. :
Deal on for Sale Of Clinchfield Road.
Extension. Z.

New York, Oct. 22.-Notwithstand
ing half-hearted denials, it can be
stated that negotiations are under
way for the purchase of the Carolina
Clinchfeld and Ohio Railway by the
Chesapeake and Ohio. The former
road, according to the report, will be
extended from it's present terminals
at Dante, Virginia, to Elkhorn City
KY, where it will connect with the
Chesapeake and Ohio, thus giving the
Clinchfeld Road a Western outlet
from the coal and lumber fields OF
Kentucky.
1t has been known for some time
that both the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Seaboard Air Line were con-
sidering the purchase of the Caro-
lima and Clinchfield, and it has been
reported several times that one OF
the other was about to take over. The
Carolina and Clinchfield reaches tide
water over the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, with which it connects at
Bostic, n. c., and the two roads main
tain close relations.
The Carolina and Clinchfield has
also arranged with the Southern Rail
way to send it's coal over the latter S
line from Spartanburg, S. c., the
present terminus of the Clinchfield
Road, to Charleston, S. c., where the
latter is building immense docks to
handle coal for export. Ultimately
it is said, the Carolina and Clinch-
field will extend it's own line from
Spartanburg to Charleston.

MILTON A. CARLISLE GUILTY
Convicted on Five COunts-Less Than
s,s $500 Involved.

Greenville, Oct. 20.-After a nine
day trial, Milton Anderson Carlisle
formerly president OF the Newberry
National Bank, was this morning
found guilty in the United States Dis
trict Court, on five counts of an in
dictment containing 1872 counts, al
leging misappropriation of the funds
of the bank. The verdict was not
guilty as to the remainder Of the in
dictments. A motion for a new trial
by the attorneys for the defence will
be argued before Judge Brawley Mon
day afternoon.
Three of the five counts upon
which Mr.. Carlisle was convicted are
based on drafts drawn by the Cold
Point Granite Company, which the
bank paid, but which were refused
payment by the parties they were
drawn upon, the bank not being re-
imbursed. Mr.. Carlisle was presi-
dent and treasurer of this company.
The other two counts are based on
misapplication of funds, which were
paid in by farmer upon notes due
the bank, but which Mr.. Carlisle is
alleged to have applied to his own
use. The total amount of money in
volved in all these transactions is
less than $500. The bulk of the in
dictment upon which he was found
guilty was based upon overdraft of his
personal account and of the account
of the Cold Point Granite Company,
to a considerable sum, when "he had
no reasonable ground to believe that
these funds would be repaid" that
both Mr.. Carlisle and the company
were insolvent or hopelessly involv-
ed.
Mr.. Carlisle is 70 years of age and
had been president of the National
Bank of Newberry since 1899. The
Indictment, however, covers only the
years 1907 and 1908. The case was
begun on October 10, the true bill
having been rendered by the grand
jury at the session of this court
year ago.

Many a strong man and many q

to thank mother. The care taken
during their childhood brought them
past the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Children
are generally bothered at some period
with incontinehce Of urine, and In
ability to retain it is oftimes called q
habit. It is not the children's fault
the difficulty lies with the kidneys,
and can be readily righted If taken
in the proper way. A Bamberg
mother shows you how.
Mrs. L. B. Fowler; Bamberg, 8. c.,
says: my daughter suffered from
weak kidneys for several years due
to an attack of fever. She had but
little control over the kidney secre-
tions and often said that her back
pained her. Another member of the
family had used Doan's Kidney Pills
several years previous with great
benefit, so finally went to the Peo-
pies Drug Co. and procured box.
In a few weeks after my daughter
began using Doan's Kidney Pills she
ceased to complain and now she has

ever. We never fail to recommend
