Is Sacrifice to White Plague.


Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-As a
sacrifice, Mrs. Lena A. Skunk, aged
So, wife of Alonzo w. Skunk, a
clerk in the Office of the adjutant
general of the war department, de-
liberately killed herself at her home
here by inhaling Illuminating gas.
Mrs. Skunk was afflicted with tu-
berculosis. Every means to cure the
malady had been resorted to without
success. The woman had been to
many health resorts and on several
occasions had met with difficulty in
obtaining accommodations because
of her condition. This greatly wor-
ried her.
Late yesterday when her husband
returned home, he found his wife
seated in a chair dead, with a tube
from a gas jet in her mouth. Letters
to her doctor and her husband re-
yealed the motive for her suicide
the fear that she would be the means
of spreading tuberculosis infection
to others.

Took Wrong Medicine.

Lake City, Nov. 30.-A. Middleton
Matthews, prosperous farmer living
fla few miles west of here, died early
this morning of what the attending
physician thought was heart trouble.
Later in the day it was found that a
tablespoonful of Boyd's collie cure had
been taken out of the bottle and the
general supposition is that he got
this, thinking that it was one of the
common family remedies, all of which
were kept in the same place. In the
absence of the coroner, Magistrate
Baldwin went to his home this after
noon and after taking such testimony
as was available he decided not to
hold an inquest, it being his opinion
that he came to his death through a
mistake on his own part.
He leaves wife and seven child
rem.

Following words:
Friends and Neighbors: I am
grateful for past favors and having
supplied my store with fine line of
choice liquors, allow me inform you
that I shall continue to make
drunkards, paupers and beggars for
the sober, Industrious respectable
part of the community to support.
My liquors will excite riot.
s'They will diminish your COM
forts, increase your expenses and
shorten your life. shall confidently
recommend them as sure to multi
ply fatal accidents and incurable dis
eases.
*They will deprive some of life,
others of reason, many of character,
and all of peace. They will make
fathers fiends. wives widows, child
ren orphans and all poor. l will
train your sons to infidelity, dissi-
patton, ignorance, lewdness and
every vice. I will cause as much
temporal and eternal death as can.
I will thus accommodate the public;
it may be at the loss of my never
dying soul. But 7 have family to
support, the business pays and the
public encourage it.
81 have paid my license and the
traffic is lawful, and If I don't sell
it somebody will. I know the Bible
says Thou shalt not kill, no drunk
ard shall enter the kingdom Of heav-
en-, and I do not expect the drunkard
maker to fare any better, but I want
an easy living and have resolved to
gather the wages of iniquity and fat
ten on the ruin of my species.
81 shall, therefore, carry on my
business with energy and do my best
to diminish the wealth of the nation
and endanger the safety of the state.
AS my business fourishes in proper
ton to your sensibility and ignor-
ance, I will do my best to prevent
moral purity and intellectual growth.
Should you doubt my ability, l
refer you to the pawn shops, the
poorhouse, the police court, the hos
pital, the penitentiary and the gal
lows, where you will find many Of
my customers have gone. A sight of
them will convince you that l do
what 1 say.
ALLOW me to inform you that you
are fools, and that am an honest
saloonkeeper.

DOUBT AS TO NEGRO'S GUILT.
Some Question as to Identity of Slay-
er of j. r, Langford.

Brunson, Dec. 1.-While Richey
Williams, a negro, is in Columbia IN
the penitentiary under charge Of hav-
ing killed J. R. Langford, the promi-
nent planter, who was found dead in
the woods near here Tuesday night,
and Mary Harris, a white woman of
20 years, is in Hampton Jail in con-
nection with the same charge, there
are serious doubts in the minds of
many as to whether the negro had
anything to do with the killing.
Mary Harris admits being with Mr..
Langford in a clump of woods some
little distance from where his horse,
hitched to his buggy, was found Sc
curely tied to tree. Mr.. Langford's
body was found lying on his buggy
robe. These two facts would indicate
that he left his buggy premeditatedly
and he was probably killed on the
buggy robe, there being no indication
of struggle and nothing to indicate
that his body had been placed on the
robe after he was killed.
Mary Harris lived near where Mr..
Langford's body was found. She was
reticent about talking at first, but
later broke down and said that the
negro crept up. from behind and
struck Mr.. Langford over the head
with a stick, killing him instantly.
The only evidence connecting the
negro with the crime is that of Mary
Harris. He denied the charge en-
phatically and as he could not give
very straight story of his doings on
the day of the murder he was taken
to Columbia for safe keeping until
the time for the trial. The coroner's
jury rendered a verdict charging the
negro with the crime.

The negro was brought to Colum-
bia last night and lodged in the peni-
tentiary for safe keeping.

UGLY CASE In HAMPTON:
White Man Dead, Negro and White
Woman Charged With Murder.

Rapid and courageous action by
peace officers having him in charge
prevented the lynching in Hampton
county of a negro, Richey Williams,
who was brought to the State peni-
tentiary in Columbia Wednesday
night charged with having killed with
a club, early on Tuesday, Mr.. ]. R.
Langford, middle-aged white plant
er Of Brunson.
White Woman Involved.
Williams was arrested near Brun-
son upon the testimony of white
woman, Marry Harris, aged TO- VINO
is held in the Hampton county jail
as an accomplice, and he was dexter
iously spirited away from the threat
ening crowd that had gathered, car
ried in an automobile to Barnwell,
lodged for time in the jail there
and finally removed to Columbia,
the portion of the journey from Barn
well to Blackville being made by au-
tomobile
An Ugly Case.
Reports that have so far reached
Columbia indicate that this was an
exceedingly ugly tragedy. The girl
under arrest is said to have admitted
that she and Mr.. Langford were to-
gether in a clump of woods near her
home, wher the negro, according to
her story, crept up behind and struck
Mr.. Langford with his bludgeon. The
stricken man, she said, never stirred
or spoke after being felled.
This must have been about .
O'Clock Tuesday morning, for when
the body was found, Tuesday night,
rigor mortis and other evidence in
dicated that life had been extinct IL
hours or longer. At o'clock Tues
day morning, Mr.. Langford had left
his home to go to his sawmill, three
miles distant. His horse was found
tethered near his body.
Williams is negro of about 80
years. Stories he told of his move
ments on the day of the murder con-
fiicted and suspicion accidentally fall
ing upon the young white woman, she
was closely questioned, with the re-
suit that she broke down and told
the story above outlined. The de-
ceased was brother to former Treas
urer Langford of Hampton county.
He leaves wife.-Columbia Record. |.
