Homicide in ASheville.

Asheville, N. c., July 5.-Stealth-
lily approaching his victim from the
rear, J. B. Allison, aged As, a for
mer janitor at the city hall, fired
five shots into the body of F. NJ. Nc
Ghee, driver Of the city patrol wogan,
this afternoon, every bullet taking
effect. After his victim had fall
len, Allison beat out the mans brains
with a ten-pound hammer. Allison
surrendered and is now in jail.
Indignation runs high among the
citizenship and tonight there is some
talk of lynching. Acting on persis-
tent rumors, the sheriff tonight re-
quested the local company Of militia.
which had been out on drill prac-
tice, to stay out until midnight. The
killing is, according to the prison
er's statement, the outcome of an
old quarrel concerning a woman. Nc
Ghee was standing at the door Of the
livery stable when Allison without
any warning, slipped up from behind
and fired point blank at McGhee. Two
bullets penetrated the heart, the
others taking effect in the head and
right side. The deceased was 33
years Old and leaves widow.
Allison has a record of having
killed three men and in each case
was acquitted on the ground of
self defense. Little over year ago,
he attempted to kill negro in a
local livery stable. He was never
tried for this offense.
A crowd late tonight gathered
about the jail and there was talk
of lynching. After time, however,
the crowd peaceably dispersed.

Girl Gives Life to Save Chum.

Evanton, ILL.,, July 8.-Florence
Burden, 16 years old, high school
girl, sacrificed her life in Lake Mich
igan to-day to save that of her chum,
Ethel Moulton, Is years old. The
girls were bathing. Miss Moulton, who
was unable to swim, waded into
deep water and was swept from her
feet. Miss Burden, a good swimmer,
went to her rescue. Miss Moulton
was supported by Miss Burden until
William Bruder reached the strug-
Cling girls.
"Take her, 1 can swim," Miss Bur-
den is reported to have said to Bru-
der.
Bruder, weighted down by his
clothing and Miss Moulton's weight,
reached a boat that put out from
shore. Miss Moulton was uncon-
scious but soon revived. Miss Burden,
exhausted by her efforts to rescue
Miss Moulton, sank. Her body was
recovered an hour later.

BATTLE IN CHARLESTON.
Woman and Policeman Exchange
Shots-Woman Wounded.

Charleston, July 6.-Sadie Miller
and Police Officer Smokes engaged in
a running duel with pistols to-day in
the tough section of Market street,
the officer being unhurt but the wo-
man receiving wounds in the breast
and abdomen which may prove Sc
rious. She was taken to the Roper
hospital, where it was stated this
afternoon that although she was bad
ly wounded, her condition was not
critical and she may recover. Sadie
is one of the well-known characters
on the street. She was quarreling
with a negro woman in a Greek cook
shop on market street, using profane
language, when Officer Smokes stop
ped at the doorway and ordered her
to desist. She would not and he ven-
tured in the place, separated the bel
ligerents and showed the white wo-
man out of the place, telling her to
go home. She seemed peaceable
enough and she repaired to another
place conducted by a Greek named
Seragleos. Here she was telling of
her row with the negro and he picked
up knife with the intention of 60
ing after the negress. She was dis
armed. Later when Smokes passed by
the place, the report of the discharge
of a pistol was heard and the ball
grazed the officers head. Thinking
that the woman whom he immediate
ly recognized was going to escape by
rear door, he ran around the cor
ner of Church street and entered the
place. The woman ran from him
but continued to shoot and he pulled
his pistol and fired in self-defense.
She fired five shots and when she was
finally cornered, she continued to
snap the pistol at Smokes, but the
cartridges had been fired.
The woman wes sent to Roper hos
pital. where she was given prompt
attention. She is, a notorious char
acter and more than match for the
average man. She meant to kill
Shokes for interfering with her, it
is evident, and there was no alterna-
tive to the policeman but to use his
weapon to defend himself. He was
congratulated by the by-standers for
his GOODNESS and on his good fortune
in escaping death and injury. 1t has
heen Shokes's misfortune to get into
several shooting affairs recently but
he has so far managed to save him
self from injury.

Triple Tragedy Done by Woman.

Chicago, July Mrs. Henry Null
saw, goaded to desperation by the al
legged brutality and unfaithfulness Of
her husband, ST 'eet car conductor,
to-day shot and fatally wounded the
latter and their three-year-old daugh-
ter, and then killed herself by taking
carbolic acid.
Mrs. Mulsaw borrowed revolver
from her father, alleging that she
needed it for protection when her
husband worked at night. Then she
wrote letters to her parents, to her
mother-in-law and to the public. In
these she declared that she had been
good and faithful wife but that
Mulsaw spent his spare time with
other women and often beat her.
Mulsaw is alleged to have been
with another woman until 4 O'Clock
this morning, when he returned to his
home. According to the police he be-
gan abusing his wife, seizing her by
the hair and kicking her. She then
drew the revolver and shot him in the
abdomen. He fell to the floor and
she sent another bullet into his back.
She went to her bedroom and fired (;
bullet into the body of her little
daughter.
Satisfied that both we're dead she
completed the tragedy by taking pois-
on. That she kissed her child after
taking the poison is shown by the
marks on the child's face.

Longer Terms of Office.

Mr.. C. G. Featherstone, a candi-
date for the governorship of South
Carolina, has come out strong in
favor of the four-year term for gov
ernor and biennial sessions of the
legislature, instead of the present
t~o-year term with annual legisla-
ture sessions. AS regards the gov
ernorship the people of the State
have practically made the longer Pc
riod effective in their almost inva-
riable habit of re-electing each in
cumbent upon the completion of his
first term. So regularly has this oc-
Cured for a number Of years that
there can hardly be a question about
the view of the matter taken by the
State at large. The chief gain which
would accrue from the change would
lie in the lessening of the political
agitation incident upon the biennial
compaigns, resulting as they do in
no inconsiderable and unnecessary
waste of time, money and energy.
The benefit wrought by change
from annual to biennial sessions of
the legislature would be even more
marked. Contributing the elimi-
nation Of the political unrest just re-
ferred to it would also make for
more carefully considered laws. 1t
is generally agreed that nearly all
Of the States are burdened by too
much legislation, and movements to
reduce the bulk have resulted in the
Inauguration Of quardrennial terms
for the lawmakers in not few in
stances. Alabama has adopted this
system, and although the last legis-
lature held in that State came in
for much criticism, none of it was
based upon the quadrennial feature.
A number Of years ago the people of
South Carolina adopted constitu-
tional amendment providing for just
such change as the one urged by
Mr.. Featherstone, but through a
technical defect in the wording it
never became effective and the ques-
tion was not resubmitted to the eiec-
torate. Judging by the experience of
North Carolina with the four-year
term for governor and the biennial
legislative session, our neighbor
would make no mistake in adopting
the change proposed.-Charlotte OBJ

TALK ABOUT TILLMAN.
Little or No Foundation for Rumor
That the Senator Will Resign.

Washington special in yester-
days Columbia State: Every
now and then a rumor starts
around in the press of these
Washington and New York parts
about Senator Tillman. Either
he will resign or he is determ-
ined not to run again. Again,
today as l arrive in Washington,
the first thing that confronts me
is the story printed in several
Washington papers this afternoon
and in a New York paper this
morning that the senior South
Carolina senator is about to re-
sign. 1t is but a step further
from the speculative idea that he
will not run for reelection in
1912.
Some of Senator Tillman's
most intimate friends did state
here at the time of his last sup
posed stroke of paralysis that
even before that he had made up
his mind not to be a candidate
for the senate again. That, how
ever. was not an announcement
by the senator himself.
Upon investigation as to the
source and basis of this rumor
printed today, l learn that it is
that sta ement made by the SEN
ator's friends of his intention
not to run again, and 80 far as
can be ascertained that is all
there is to it.
Two weeks ago l myself saw
letter from Senator Tillman to
member of the naval affairs COM
mittee in which he stated that
he expected to be back in his
seat before the close of this ses-
sion. From that it can be in
ferred that whatever others may
think about his condition, the
senator himself at that time at
least thought there was no reason
why he should resign.
