UP ON LITTLE RIVER.
Water Highest in Seven Ycnrs--D.
o. Sheppard Improving.

Little River, Aug 80. Special:
The continued dry weather was
broken up with rain to-day. Rain
commenced to fall 10 a. m. and by
shutdown there was good season in
the ground About 10 o'clock Tues
day night the rain commenced to fall
more rapidly and continued through
the night. and Wednesday morning
the east prong of Little River was
from hill to bill. Considerable dam
age was done to corn on the low
lands The water had not been as
high as 1t was seven years ago, but
very likely the highest water since
that time at this point on Little
River. Upland corn was cut short by
the dry weather. The prospect is
that corn will be scarce next year in
these parts.

southern flycr Kills Two Person.
Within Two Hours.

Spartanburg, Sept. 3.-The New
York-New Orleans Limited which
reached here at 1920 this afternoon,
killed an unidentified man a few
miles north Of Spencer, and two
hours later killed Mrs. Florence Hat
lev, near Concord. Mrs. Hatley was
chasing COW and probably did not
hear the train approaching, as she
was rather deaf. She was hurled
over an embankment and instantly
Gilled. Her small son witnessed the
accident.
There is no clue to the identity OF
the man killed near Spencer. He had
several religious tracts in his pocket,
which, with his dress. lead to the be-
lief that he was some kind Of a trav-
cling missionary. He stepped onto
the track Of the limited in order to
avoid freight train, not noticing the
approaching passenger train The
body was thrown into field twenty
five feet away. The train was driven
by different engineers when the two
accidents occurred.

The dead man was brilliant as a law.

legal victories. His library was the
linest IN the State, his collection OF
china one OF the most wonderful in
the country, his collection Of coins
the second most valuable in the
world, his wine cellar unsurpassed.
He was princely entertainer. He
always had some new idea to offer
his guests, whether stars of the stage.

the. nation.
When he entertained Cleveland the
President ate at table on which was

once belonged to Napoleon. When
he entertained the Ten Club" which
is composed Of prominent ministers,
a few years ago, the table was in tho
shape Of a coffin, the menu cards,
were black, with bones and skulls
mingled here and there. Everything
was in the sombre hue OF death, ,Nand
the lights were SO shaded as to re~,>
mind one Of the end OF all things.
His acquaintance with stage folk
was wide, and his guests at times in
cluded the most prominent persons
holding the boards in America. then

His wife separated from him for
years on account of his eccentricities,
and since that time he lived alone in
a palatial home, the first expensive

Norman, and challenge to duel

met on the field of honor.
Strong Ties Existed.

best known citizens, prominent
member Of the Atlanta bar, and a
high Mason. He was in the 6Sd year
of his age.
About two weeks ago he returned
home from Indiana, apparently much
improved and hopeful Of recovery.
He was able TO leave the house ana
visit n number Of his friends. FRI
day, though, he grew suddenly worse,
and on Saturday the members of the
family were called in.
Late Saturday night he lapsed into
a peaceful sleep and the family felt
hopeful. But when he awoke Sunday
morning they saw the end was near,
and all were told to come to the bed
side. AS he entered the room Cover
nor Brown was recognized, and the
dying mans last act was to grasp his
brothers hand, with the words, lis
that you, Joe?"
The greatest devotion existed be-
tween Julius Brown and Governor
Joseph E. Brown, the two eldest SONG
of the old war Governor. This devo~
ton was a ruling influence in the
! lives Of each, and was founded on
their great congeniality in literary,
historical and other subjects. y

RAISES A QUESTION.
Waihalla Puzzled by Discrepancy in
Election Returns.
The State, 9Th. }


The State yesterday received the
| following from its Walhalla cores
pondent:
"Walhalla, Sept. 5.--The vote for
unopposcd State officers shows con-
| clusivcly that less than $4,000 votes
wore cast in the recent primary. 1t
| is impossible TO conceive Of four men
running opposed for four Offices and
getting nearly the same number OF
votes without the conclusion that
the largest Of the four numbers Is
practically the entire vote cast. For
other State Offices the official count
makes in round numbers from 1O1,-
600 for attorney general to 105 900
for Governor, showing a mistake or
manipulation of from 5000 to 12,-
600 votes. This conclusion is inevi-
| table and discomfort is spreading
here and will be Overwhelming in a
few days unless the State commit
tee can find and correct the error. 1t
were better to cancel all results Of
tho late primary and order another
election than to allow an official
count so palpably false to stand The
and fair play. We look to the State
to investigate"
The discrepancy referred to by the
correspondent was observed imme-
diatcly after the tabulatiOn of the
votes by the State Eexecutive Com
mittee and the attention Of the State
Chairman called to it. The explana-
ton was given that in some of the
counties the vote for the uncontested
Offices was omitted in the kilograms
reporting results to the committee
IN order that tolls might be saved
