this fall.
The military court Of inquiry,
which was the result of personal
row between Adjutant General Boyd

Loss to the Bench.

Columbia, June 20.-Oficial cir
cles were profoundly moved at the
news of Judge Dantzler's death,
which came through telegraph ad-
vices from Senator Lide to the Gov
ernor's office. Gov. Ansel has not re-
turned from Kentucky, and so will
be unable to attend the funeral.
Judge Dantzler's father, a wealthy
planter, was educated as lawyer.
He fell leading charge Of the Twen-
ty-second South Carolina volunteers
in 1864.
Judge Dantzfer was educated at
Mount Zion Institute at Winnsboro,
Kings Mountain Military Academy,
under Col. Asbury Coward, and Wof-
ford College. He served six years in
the lower house of the Legislative
and early in 1902 was elected cir
cult Judge.
Advising young men, he said two
years ago. "Have an unalterable pur-
pose to live pure life and a determi-
nation to add to your knowledge
from every source and to cultivate
the mind by every means within
reach, and always be a definite OBJ
ject for achievement"

JAMES VI. TUCKER BURIED.
Branchville Mourns Loss of Valuable
Citizen.

Branchville, June 20.-In the pres
ence of one of the largest assem-
blages of people ever seen upon a
similar occasion in Branchville, the
remains of the late Mr.. j. NJ. Tucker,
cashier of the Bank of Branchville,
president of the Branchville Hard
ware Company, the Fairey Brokerage
Company, and the Branchville Tie
and Timber Company, were laid
to rest with Masonic honors here to-
day, beneath a mound of flowers,
which though profuse and costly.
were but slight token of the great
esteem in which he was held, both
here at home and throughout the en-
tire State.
When the news was flashed from
Florence last Saturday night that Mr..
James NJ. Tucker had been suddenly
called to the other land Branchville
felt that it had lost man and citi-
zen whom it could i'll afford to lose,
for a helpful, useful citizen indeed
was Mr.. Tucker. Possessing a genial
disposition he led all people whom he
met to respect and admire him. His
charity knew no bounds and his gen.
tie, kindly heart responded to all.
Coming to Branchville poor boy
he set himself the noble task of prov
ing his own mettle and manhood, and
by his sterling honesty and unim-
peachable integrity climbed round by
round to the SUBMITS of success.
He was Mason, Knight of Py-
thias and was also connected with the
Woodmen of the World. A wife and
one son survive him.
Beloved by his fellow citizens here
in Branchville and respected by a
large body of business men all over
the country, Branchville's loss is also
a loss to the State. His youth barely
past and his splendid career just
rounding out, his death is signally
pathetic and deplorable. The mourn
ing for him will be deep and sincere.

Parks Case a Mystery.

Lancaster, June 19.-The coroner
of Union county, N. c., was engaged
until about IL o'clock Friday night in
the case of Carter Parks, the young
man murdered in that county Friday.
The taking of testimony was not con-
cluded, however, the matter being
left open until additional evidence
can be secured.
It is stated that young Parks was
shot while sitting on log in the
woods, the load striking him in the
back of the head and blowing out his
brains. His wife said when he left
home he had a pistol but no weapon
was found on his person nor on the
ground. She is of the opinion, it is
said, that he was entrapped into go
ing where he was assassinated. The
motive for the crime was evidently
not robbery, for his money and other
valuables were found intact on his
person.
An attempt was made to assassi-
nate Parks few months ago, he be-
ing called to his door one night and
fired upon by a party in the yard, the
load striking him in the leg. He said
afterwards that it was his brother
in-law who, shot him, and that the
reason he was not killed was because
he was standing on the piazza and
not on the ground, as his assailant
thought he was.

Rev. E. NJ. Lightfoot has resigned
the pastorate of the North Augusta
church, much to the regret of all.
1t is his present purpose to take a
course of study during the summer,
and perhaps enter the Seminary in
Louisville next fall. Brother Light
foot is one of our best men, and
we shall greatly regret to see him
leave us, but we hope his absence
will be temporary, for we are sure
that there will be pastorates in this
State that will seek his services. At
Orangeburg, and more recently at
North Augusta, he has been greatly
beloved by the people.-Baptist Cou-

How to Keep a Wife's Love.

When you 60 home from business
have the maid send your name up'
just as in the old days. A wife likes
these little attentions, and II she fisI
the right sort, she will send down;
word that she will be down in a few
minutes. Then put five-pound box;
bf candy in a prominent place and;
wait patiently. When you hear her,
coming, run to meet her and kiss
her in manly way as II you had
waited all day for the privilege. Then
give her the candy. If there is but

witty way that will appeal to her
love of fun. -

Then, with bow, seat yourself opl

Urge her to tell you about the cooks

Never light cigar until you have

NEAR-BEER.
A North Carolina Judge who Knows
What it Really Is.

A North Carolina Judge who Knows
What it Really Is.
In introducing Attorney General
Thomas w. Beckett to the commence
ment audience at Dallas last week,
Mr.. A. l.. Bulwinkle made reference
to Mr.. Bickett's now famous descrip-
ton of that article SO much talked Ut
in prohibition territory, near-beer.
Gazette readers who have not read it
will be interested in it so we re-
print it below:
What is near-beer?" he asked.
"The testimony in this case shows
that it is beverage that finds ready
sale as a substitute for real beer.
Our bibulous constituents cry for it
as children cry for castoria. 1t is
made by the people that make beer,
and drunk by the people that drink
beer, tastes like beer. 1t is served
by the same white aproned, many
chinned friend who was wont to
comfort us in other days. 1t is
showed across the old oaken counter
and the mirrowed back bar, while the
picture of Aphrodite springing from
the foam makes the illusion complete.
And some times in the cleaning the
alchemy of a shadow projected from
policeman's expansive back and
falling athwart the bar, works a
transformation and suddenly, even Us
the thirsty one lifts the cup to his
lips, near-beer becomes real thing.
And yet this court is asked to
relegate this juicy beverage, this
scion of centuries of vats to the in
sipid level of soda water. Perish the
thought! It proclaims itself in North
Carolina as sole heir and successor to
the gaudy fluid. 1t boasts of it's bub-
bles and sparkle and snap. 1t says
to the disconsolate legions IN an
arid land, I may not be entirely
wicked-but try me- 1t capitalizes
it's kinship with Budweiser and
Schlitz. 1t scorns soda water as
Roosevelt scorns molly-coddle, and
lords it over grape juice like a mint
julep over a milk shake ''-Gastonia

DR.C. KINSEY WOUNDED.
SHOT BY A NEGRO AT WILLIAMS
SATURDAY NIGHT.
His Wounds Not SeriouS-POsse
Fired at Negro but He Made
His Escape.

Walterboro, June 20.-At Williams
Saturday night at 10 o'clock, DR.. G.
E. Kinsey was shot and seriously
wounded by Joe Freeman, negro.
Saturday afternoon DR.. Kinsey's
son was standing at the door of the
store Of Oquin Bros. when Lena Free
man a negro woman, came up the
steps to enter the store door and said
to Mr.. Kinsey: "Some one wants to
come in" Mr.. Kinsey stepped out OF
the way and looking back saw this
negro woman. He expected to see
some white woman enter, and Joking
ly remarked that he thought it was
somebody. The negro took out q
knife from her pocket and began to
abuse Mr.. Kinsey, who insisted that
she hush stating to her that he did
not mean any harm by the remark,
which was jokingly made.
Got a Gun.
She continued her abuse and short
ly left the store, and going to her
home, returned with her husband, Joe
Freeman, she carrying a gun, Mr..
Kinsey was informed of this fact and
went to his home and returned with
his gun, which he put in Mr.. Brab-
hams store. His father, hearing of
this, came over to the store and in
structed his son to put the gun up
and go to Magistrate Wilson and take
out warrant for the negroes and
have them arrested. This Mr.. Kinsey
did and turned the warrant over to
Constable Maxey, who went after WI
liams to make the arrest. Maxey ap-
pointed DR.. Kinsey and others as spe-
cial constables to aid him in making
the arrest.
The party proceeded to the home Of
the Freemans, but just before reach
ing it, they were informed that Joe
Freeman was back at the store Of
Quin Bros. with his gun. They re-
Oquin Bros. with his gun. They re-
turned to the store and attempted to
arrest Joe Freeman, who seeting the
party approaching ran. They went
back. to the home, where the woman
was arrested. After securing her they
started to leave and Joe Freeman ap-
peared behind a clump of bushes near
the house crying: "Get out of there" "
Shot Into Crowd.
At the same time he shot into the
crowd, the shot taking effect just
above DR.. Kinsey's hip. The negro
then made his escape into the dark
ness.
DR.. Kinsey was taken back home
and was attended by DR.. H. M. Car
ter, who dressed his wounds. It was
found that the gun had been loaded
with a slug, but fortunately the load
produced only painful flesh wounds.
Efforts were made again early Sun
day imorning to catch Freeman and
he was seen several times by the pur-
suing party, but owing to the thick
ness of the underground in the bays
near Williams, he has so far eluded
| capture.
AS DR.. Kinsey was shot, Constable
Maxey instructed his deputies to kill
the negro. Two of them had guns and
fired at him, and it is thought, he
was wounded. The woods were
secured Sunday by about 100 men to
capture freeman but to no avail.
Constable Maxey put the woman in
jail Monday afternoon. Continued
| efforts will be made to capture Free

In the investigation of the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland it
has been observed that there is at
times a wide difference in the direction
Of the drift Of icebergs and that Of the
fat or pan ice. which, having no great
depth, is governed In its motions by
the surface currents and the winds,
whereas the icebergs. the larger parts
Of which are submerged to great
depth. follow only the movement Of
the ocean water as a whole and are
uninhuenced by the winds. In conse-
quence a huge berg may often be
seen majestically maintaining its slow
advance in opposition to the wind and
across the general motion of the fields
Of fat ice surrounding it. The sealers
often take advantage Of this fact by
mooring their vessels to an iceberg
In order to prevent drift to leeward.
