Boy Shoots His Mother.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 28.-En-
trenched at the home of friend, ap-
parently desperate in the belief that
he had killed his mother, and ignor-
ant of the fact that she doubtless will
recover, James F. Roach, scarcely
more than a youth, held small posse
at bay on the outskirts of Memphis
for some hours early to-day.
At daylight Roach still held forth
in the little delling house, we'll
armed, it is believed, and a lone
deputy sheriff with a posse of citi-
zens on guard, awaited the arrival
of reinforcements before an attack
would be feasible. Besides Roach,
it is stated, an elderly man, his wife
and daughter, were in the house.
Later in the day entrance was
gained to the house and Roach was
found to have made his escape.
The shooting of the woman, Mrs
Sallie E. Miller, occurred at the su'
burban store conducted by the two
and followed an argument as tc
money matters late yesterday. Quit,
ting the scene of the quarrel Mrs
Miller went to another portion of the
building, Roach followed some mo-
ments later. AS he entered the room
it is stated, he Immediately opened
fire, the bullet striking the woman
in the head.
In the subsequent confusion Roach
escaped and sheriff's posse trailed
him over a circuitous route to the
house beyond the city limits.
Here the man was hemmed in and
to all appearances, determined to re-
sist any effort to take him into Gus
tody to last extremity.
Mrs. Miller was hurried to hos
pital, where an operation was per
formed last night, and this morning
her chances for recovery are consid
cred bright.

Macon Sewer Bursts.

Macon, Ca, Jan. Gas that had
accumulated in the New street sewer
exploded at 2.30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and the negro driver of a
coal wagon was blown 80 feet into
the air as a result The wagon was
passing over manhole when the ex-
plosion occurred. The metal cov-
ering was blown with terrific force
into the wagon just below the driv-
er's seat, and the man and the coal
were scattered in many directions
The driver had to be taken to the
city hospital in an ambulance. He
will recover.
AS the result of this explosion the
engineering and sewer departments
of the city have gotten busy and will
try and prevent further accidents OF
this kind. Such an accident had not
occurred in years and it is rather
difficult to account for.

Cashier Admits He Got Money.

Niagara Falls, Jan. 1.-Cashier
William Dobson to-day confessed that
he and two others executed the rob-
berry here last November, when four
teen thousand dollars, consigned to
Toronto banks, was stolen after a
sensational holdup in which Dob
sons head was cut open with piece
of lead pipe. The others under ar
rest are P. W. Whistler, express mess
enger, and Charles Flynn, a former
saloonist.
According to Dobson's first story,
he was asked by two strangers to
see if there was any express for
them. AS he reached for the book
one of them struck him over the
head, and seizing the money lying
on the counter, escaped.
Dobson was found unconscious a
few minutes later. In his confes-
sion to-day he said the crack on bis
head was part of the plot.

"The House leaders are using ev-

Governor Ansel Thinks State Officials

Columbia, Dec. 30.-Gov. Ansel
will again recommend to the general

State officials and the members of the

demands Of the present; increased

ton has been made before by Gov.
Ansel but the legislature did not see
fit to take action upon the question.
In a previous message he said: The
salaries Of the State officers and su-
preme court and circuit judges should
be raised to at least whatsthey were
a few years since. It costs more now
to live than formerly, and the officers
should be paid salary commensur-
ate with the work they have to do and
the dignity of the position they hold.
Compare the salaries Of the officers
with those paid by other States of the
South to it's officers Of like rank and
the difference will be manifest.
"The increase will not effect me,
or the other officers now holding
Office under their present terms, but
1 feel that it is due to those who
come after us and I, therefore recon-
mend it,"
The other State officials are of the
same opinion as Gov. Ansel and there
are several after serving terms in Of
flee and feeling the responsibilities
attached do not think that the job is
worth the quest, that is financially.
Just what action the legislature will
take on the recommendation of Gov.

Nineteen millions OF dollars were
on deposit in the banks of Charles

this money was used to build up the
old city, Charleston would indeed be
the best city Of the South. There is

However, Charleston is growing any

100000 FOR MODEL SCHOOL.
President johnson Secures Five Times
The Appropriation.

Rock Hill, Jan. 2.-The people all
over the State who are interested in
Winthrop college can again say,
"Hurrah for President Johnson
For he now has in possession GER
tifcate representing 100000 with
which to build the proposed new
model school for Winthrop.
It will be recalled that the legisla-
ture two years ago appropriated $780,
900 for this purpose, expressly condi-
toned upon DR.. Johnson raising an
additional $25,000. At that time DR..
Johnson thought that a $4,000
building would be. ample. But he
soon drew away from these modest
plans and made up his mind to give
the State of South Carolina $780,
900 model school, the equal Of any
in the country in beauty Of construc-
ton and thoroughly equipped.
With this purpose in view, he
promptly raised the $4,000 required
by the State legislature. This gave
him $4,000. Then he went to New
York and had an interview with Mr..
J. Pierpont Morgan and Andrew Car
negie, the multi-millionaires. Mr..
Morgan gave $4,000 and Mr.. Car
negie gave 5,oO0-but both of
these subscriptions were conditioned
upon DR.. Johnson raising the entire
100000 by January /, 1910.
With these two subscriptions, DR..
Johnson then had in hand and prom
ised $4,000. He felt that he was
nearing the goal. Sc he put forth
extraordinary efforts-and this meant
much, for DR.. Johnson is the most
successful "beggar" in this country.
His next trip was to appear before
the meeting of the Peabody board.
That body gave him $4,000. This put
the fund up to 100000.
Then came the real hard work,
getting that other $4,000.
Martin Moloney, of Philadelphia,
owner of the electric light plant here,
gave him $1,000.
G.. L. Winthrop, member of the
Peabody board, made personal con-
tribution of 5000.
Col. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster,
sent his check for s100.
That made the amount $91,600,
and in the last ten days the balance
of sS,40O was promptly subscribed by
friends of the institution in various
parts of the State.
So it is now a fact that Winthrop
college will be able to present to the
State a model school valued at $780,
900, for which the State appropri-
ated only $4,000.
It is a great victory for President
Johnson. The only thing needed now
is the site for the building. The
question of selling this ground for
$4,000 to Winthrop was thrown into
litigation by the minority trustees
of the local school board. The case
was tried in the York court couple
of weeks ago and a decision in the
matter is looked for shortly. ..
If he can get this land, it is the
intention of President johnson to
proceed at once with the construction
of the proposed building.

We hope that many of the roads

has been done in the past, and little

be a good thing.

Let's organize board of trade or

an organization here, and the time
to organize is now.

The Peruna Drug Co.
In regard to the Peruna Tablets, I
have used about ten boxes in all.
While 1 was In Chicago my oldest
daughter was bothered with a cough
all the time. She has had it for four
years. Sometimes it would go away,
and in the winter time 1t was so bad
that the doctors and professors said
that she had consumption, and the only
way to give her any relief was to per-
form an operation.
I spend SO much money for different
medicines, and for doctors also. Moth
ing seemed to help her.
So saw the Peruna Tablets adver-
tised in the paper, and got box
and tried them. She could get some
sleep by taking them. She would be up
all night and cough. So in all she took
six boxes, and never was bothered any
more.
I will leave this for any one to in
quire at our old residence, where we
lived in Chicago. All our neighbors

he had been accompanied by his own
little girl and her playmate next door
Monninger's grief turned into anger,
hot words arose between him and
Heatherly and IN a twinklfng the two
were engaged in disturbing the peace,
according to q charge that was en-

Heatherly claimed in court that Mrs.
Monninger had given her consent to
her little girl accompanying them to
6ilvis and that they fully expected to
be back by z O'Clock, but matters had
prevented his return until nearly 9
o'clock. Monninger stated that his
