Died By HIS own HAND.
Major Marion Noise, a Prominent At
tofney of Sumter, Commits Suicide.

Sumter, January ou.-alone III d
room of his law offices, Major
Marion Noise, one of Sumter 8
most prominent men, committed
suicide late this afternoon by shoot
ing himself in the head with a re-
volve,. No reason can be assigned
for the act, as Major Noise was in
good health, and as far as can be
learned no financial embarrass-
ment could have led him to take
his life. He left no note explaining
why he killed himself, and it was
only the silent testimony of
pistol IN his hand that told that
q suicide had been committed.
When R d Lee, Jr, went TO the
Offices of Lee s Noise shortly after
6 o'clock this evening he found the
body of Major Noise lying on a
couch in the second room of the
cfice. Medical aid was summoned
Immediately, but physicians stated
that Major Noise had been dead
for more than fifteen minutes at
the time the body was discovered.
Two pistols were found, one of them,
of 32 ealibre, in the hand OF the
dead man.
Relatives are at a loss to explain
the suicide. Only recently Major
Noise lost his beautiful home by
fire, and it IS believed that this
worried him a great deal. Moth
ing was said by him so far as it
is known, to lend to any explana-
tion of his taking his own life. He
must have repaired to the office
with the intention of killing him
self, but he safely guarded his
purpose.
When Mr. Lee found the body he,
after notifying a physician, started
home to tell his father, who is the
senior member of the law firm.
On the way he met Mr. Davis
Noise, a son of Major Noise, but
did not tell him of Major Noises
death, hoping that the son would
pass by the office. But MIR Davis
Noise did 60 into the offices, and
found the body of his father lying
there.
Major Noise shot himself in the
head, the ball entering near the
right ear. Death came almost IN
stantly.
MAJOR NOISE was born on
Sullivan's Island, June IA, 1855.
He was the son of Edward
Warren Noise and Esther Lyon.
His father held the position of Ad-
jutant and Inspector General for the
period between lS76-lSe0. He
studied at the South Carolina
College, after attending Virginia
Military Institute at Lexington. He
was married to Isabel DeLeon. Of
Charleston, November Z, 1877.
Major Noise has filled usefully
many positions of trust and honor.
He served as State Senator from
1sS6-1S9O. He was also intend
ant of the city of Sumter for tive
terms. In the financial world he
attained prominence. He was
president of the Sumter Cotton
Mills, vice president of the Bank
of Sumter for seventeen years and a
director of the Sumter Savings
Bank for several years. In many
other business institutions he was a
leading figure.
He was member of the board of
school trustees for the Samter
Graded schools for the past sixteen
years. He was member of the
knights of Pythlas, Knights and
Ladies of Honor, the Masonic Fra
ternity and of number of other
organizations. He was a Jealous
member of the Jewish congregation,
Sinai, Of this city.

YANKToN, 8. D.. Jan. s.--The members
OF the First Congregational church of this
city are very much pleased over their
showing for the last year, one Of the most
successful from all points Of view since
the church was founded forty years ago.
Although only a few years ago a new
church erected at a cost of S25, 900, the
treasurer's report at the annual meeting
showed the church entirely out Of debt.
The church has also grown in members
in a most satisfactory manner during the
year. Officers elected were as follows:
L. l. Tyler, clerk; G. L. GILMAN, Treasurer;
Mrs. H. o. Garnet, tresshuferi Of benevo-
lences; w. ]. MoMurtry and B. 81 Williams
deacons and Prof, Durand andgDr. B. M.
Banton trustees, Prof. e. S. Meyers was
elected Sunday school superintendent and
Miss Marguerite Hill primary superintend-
ent. A feature of the annual meeting was
the unanimous decision 20 do away with
rented pews and the church is now free
seated.

the matter Of new buildings and improve

during the last twelve months, The con-
struction OF business buildings has not
been so much a feature the last year, but
the development of the residence section
has been marked, Three OF the big build
ing enterprises of the year was the erection
Of the Milwaukee passenger station at n
cost of $4,000, the United States post
office building, costing $50. 900. and the
public high school building, costing with

pleted It's big manufacturing plant as
another adjunct of the growth Of the city.
The city Of Mitchell started late in the
fall sewer construction, for drainage pur-
poses, for which bonds to the amount OF
$4,000 was voted, and the work is we'll
in hand. This big piece of work, covering
more than a mile. will be finished in the
spring. Another contract was awarded in
November for the construction of three
lateral sewers for sanitary purposes, and the
work will be taken up in the spring. The
residence section has been developed to
a greater extent than for several years,
and some magnificent residences have been
constructed. Fully 150 new houses have
been erected during the year, ranging In

Packers bought up the better kinds OF
killers with little or no delay At prices
that were generally steady with last week 9

yesrling values appeared, II anything, to
be somewhat stronger. In q word, the

was just about steady and the tone 10

Although there was a very fair inquiry.
for short-fed and warmed-up stock, suit

were absorbed by killers and the volume
of actual business on the feeder branch Of
the trade was necessarily too small to af-
ford anything like a broad test OF values.

II did not really become effective until

public amusement places we're given until
January 1, 1910, TO get their buildings with

chapter "a OF the laws OF 1909. requires
that every theater. opera house or other
building used or TO be used for theatrical
or operate purposes or for public resort
or entertainment, for the accommodation
Of 100 or moro persons shall on or before
July l OF each year paw an annual license
Of IS to the state The law makes the

amusement places, and provides a fine OF
$500 for failure or refusal to meet the re-
quirements of the law.
Up to the present time fourteen out OF
the hundreds of opera houses" over the
state have take out the REQUIRED license,
and It is not likely that any OF them have
attempted to meet the other requirements

given them to get under Its provisions.
Now that the time Is up, the inspector Is

CATTLE-There was a decent run Of
cattle this morning for this season Of the
year, 16 cars being reported, but OF that
number only about half of the cattle were
in sight when the market opened. The trade
as q whole was in a good, healthy and
entirely satisfactory condition.
Only about a dozen cars of beef steers were
in sight when the market opened, which
was not enough to create very much in
terest among buyers. Still there was a
fair demand and the desirable kinds for
the most part sold in very fair season In
the morning. Buyers were out early and
the prices paid generally looked around l0c
higher than late last week.
Cows and heifers were in more liberal
supply than beef steers. At the same time
arrivals soon changed hands. They, too,
sold around loo higher than last week and
the trade generally sa very satisfactory
to the selling interests.
The feeder trade looked q little better
this morning owing 20 the fact that the
yards were cleared of that kind of cattle
last week and spectators were all anxious
for a few this morning. The result was
that what few desirable cattle OF that
kind were offered sold around l0c higher
yearlings brought t4.56 to go back into
