Negro Woman Slain.

With her throat cut and quite
dead Hattie Suber, a negro woman,
was found by Policeman Hite about
1880 o'clock last night. The woman
was killed by another negro woman,
Annie Lee Boyd, who, following up a
difficulty commencing at negro
dance earlier in the evening, made an
attack on the dead woman with a
knife. The Suber woman's throat was
cut from ear to ear, and the jugular
vein severed.
The policeman who was first to
reach the scene of the difficulty was
summoned from police headquarters
by J. N. Finley who lives short dis
rance from the scene of the killing.
The woman was sitting in pool of
blood backed up against the wall OF
the house in which the fight occurred.
The attack by the Boyd woman
upon Hattie Suber occurred in Metts
alley on Washington street near the
corner of Washington and Lincoln,
at or near Hattie Suber's house. Af-
ter the killing of the woman, Annie
Lee Boyd disappeared.

moned and the dead body of Hattie
Suber removed to an undertaker's
establishment. Chief Cathcart, Coro-
ner Walker and police officers at once
took up a search for the Boyd woman,
which at a late hour last night had
not been concluded. James Counts
and Ethel Green, negroes, were ar
rested and locked up. as witnesses in
the case.-Columbia State.

SUICIDE OR ACCIDENT?
Solomon Cone Found With Bullet
Wound in Head.

Greensboro, n. c., Oct. S.-Solo-
mon n. Cone, member of the mil
lionaire family of that name, which
controls vast industrial interests
throughout the South, and of the
New York, Liverpool and New Or
leans cotton exchanges, was found
in his bachelor apartments at s
o'clock this morning with blood
streaming from a bullet wound be-
hind his left ear and a revolver in
his right hand. From all indications
his shooting was the result of an at
tempt to commit suicide, although
his intimate friends are of the opin-
ion that the pistol was discharged
accidentally.
Mr.. Cone was discovered by his
valet, who went to his apartments
at the Raleigh House to wake him
up. Entering he discovered Mr.. Cone
fully dressed, lying on the floor in
an unconscious state. He immedi-
ately summoned aid and physicians,
and the wounded man was hurried
to a hospital, where the bullet was
later extracted. 1t is said tonight
that chances for his recovery are very
favorable.

a few weeks ago paper was start
ed at Allendale, and last week the
editor stated editorially that he had
sdrummed every merchant in the town
for advertising, and yet his income
from advertising was only about $40
a week, while his expense for printers
alone was sS3 a week. The paper
certainly cannot live very long at this
rate. Too many towns want newspa-
pers when they are not willing to
support them. Fact is, no more
newspapers are needed in South
Carolina, either dailies or weeklies.
What is needed is improvement OF
those already published. But we
suppose they will keep on being start
ed and fail, just as has been the rule
for a long time past.

In reference to the article in an
other column from the Walterboro
Press and Standard, this newspaper
knows nothing of any attempt at the
present time to add Warren town
ship to Bamberg county, and it is
news to us that any remuneration
has been promised anybody by pro-
moters from Bamberg. If anybody
in Bamberg is connected with the
movement in any way, they are keep
ing mighty quiet about it. Of course
Bamberg would be glad to have the
good people of Warren township as
citizens, and they will be heartily
welcomed should they decide to be-
come a part of one of the very best
counties in the State. They are in a
good county now, but we feel they
will better themselves in many ways
should they vote themselves into
Bamberg.

Commission for New Paper.

Columbia, Oct. 7.-George R.
Koester and D. w. Robinson, the
latter a Columbia attorney, to-day
secured a commission for the News
Publishing Company, capitalized at
$4,000 for purpose of publishing a
daily morning paper, The News, in
Columbia. Mr.. Koester, who start
ed newspaper work in Charleston,
was managing editor of The Colum-
bia Register, founded The Daily Rec
ord and sold that journal year ago
to James Hoyt, said to-day:
IAN erroneous impression has
gone out that the new paper is to be
the organ of the incoming gubernat-
torial administration. Nothing is
further from the purposes and inten-
ton of those connected with the new
paper. It is to be essentially news
paper, will be owned and controlled
by business men in all sections of
South Carolina without regard to po-
litical associations of affiliations, men
who believe there is wide field in
this State for morning paper pub
lished at Columbia, which will give
news as it is, uncolored by prejudices
or bias, and whose editorials will be
devoted to temperate discussions of
measures, principles and policies
without degenerating into bitter per-
sonalities.
Mr. Koester says feature will be
a board of control consisting of nine
representative men, who will be un-
der pledge to make the paper adhere
to the course above outlined.
He says $4,000 is named as the
initial capital because that amount
has been practically all subscribed.
He says a large increase of capital
stock will be made when the paper
has been organized and set going.
This is the first authorized state
ment about the new paper.

We still cannot hear that anything
is being done about that circular let
ter. If any efforts are being made to
run down the author, it is being kept
mighty quiet. 1t is high time that
some sort of showing was being made
in this matter, for if not the people
of the second district will know that
all this buster and noise before the
second primary was for political eff
feet only. We would be slow to
charge bad faith on the part of any
one, but it begins to look mighty sus-
picious.

should leave no stone unturned in our

deepening of the river. Capt. Adams
will soon make his trip of inspection,
and we must be up and doing.

that it would be well to hold both

ROMANCE IN BOSTON.
Rich Society Girl and Famous Filler
Who is Poor.

w ll0 Is L OOI.
Eleanor A. Sears, the meteoric
Back Bay belle, who startled Boston
not many months ago by declaring
that she admired grooms more than
the men in her set has set society
here gossiping by her constant as
sociation with Claude Grahame-
White, the British aviator. For the
past week she has been daily spec
tator of his flights at the Brockton
fair, and the two have constantly been
together.
1t would not surprise New England
society folk to hear of an engagement.
Yesterday the aviator and Miss Sears
spent hours at the fair together, and
this morning, while she was looking
over the horses, Grahame-White was
constantly at her elbow. The young
woman is lavish and frank in her
praise of his daring, and he does not
conceal his admiration for her horse
manship.
They met barely three weeks ago
on the aviation field at Squantum.
White took the young So
ciety girl for sensational sail in his
airship. Immediately afterwards she
took him on an exciting automobile
ride. Then the two were constantly
seen in the restaurants about Boston
at dinners and after-theatre supper
parties.
Miss Sears worships any man or
woman who excels in feats of
strength and daring. Her adventures
on horseback, in automobiles, at ten
mis-, boating and as pedestrian have
furnished gossip for two continents.
AS a polo player she was the first
woman in America to adopt the riding
breeches supposed to me the exclusive
costumes for men. Several months
ago she made an ambitious attempt
to walk 100 miles on the Pacific coast
garbed in male costume.
Her admiration for athletics and
men of daring-do is so great that she
became impatient with the society
men of Boston.
'The men of our set are all sis
sies," she is reported to have remark
ed after a polo game. II just love a
groom. He is a real man. He is
willing to take a sporting chance"
There is no question as to the Eng
lish aviator's daring. He demonstra-
ted it at the aero meet at Squantum.
In appearance he is handsome, after
the style of Faversham. He stands
over six feet in his stockings, is stall
wart and has reputation as cross
country rider.
But Grahame-White is not particu-
larly we'll endowed with this worlds
goods. For this reason he came to
America and has been earning consid-
cradle money by flying as an exhibitor
and by taking up passengers at the
rate of $50 minute. His father
is farmer in England.
Miss Sears is the daughter of Fred
erick R. Sears, one of Boston S
wealthiest residents. Her family is of
the most aristocratic. Her personal
fortune is figured in millions. At one
time she was reported engaged to
Harold Vanderbilt, son of w. K. Van
derbilt, who for several seasons was
her most devoted swain. Then So
ciety had her engaged to Paul ]. Raj
ney, the wealthy Arctic sportsman.
Out in California her engagement to
Captain Gill, the English polo player,
was momentarily expected. One of
her earliest affairs was with young
FREDDY" Prince, wealthy Bostonian.

WEDS RICH NAN.
Trained Nurse Becomes Wife Of Mil.
lionaire Without Family.

With fortune Of 100000,
John S. Lyle, who will be SO the
thirteenth of next month, has just
taken a wife, whom he established
to-day in his beautiful country home
at Tenaf1y, N. j.
The bride, who was Miss Julia
Harmon, a trained nurse, is 63 years
younger than her husband, whom she
met when she was sent from the
Presbyterian Hospital to care for his
sister-in-law, two years ago.
The wife will inherit his entire
fortune, as there were no children
from his first marriage.
The marriage was almost an elope-
ment, for the pair went by automo-
bile to Yonkers to have the knot tied,
without saying word to anybody.
Once there they lost no time in seek
ing the Office of the city clerk, where
they asked for a marriage license.
The clerk smilingly recorded
Lyle's conf fession as to his age. The
nurse admitted to 80.
f'sIs it necessary that we be mar
ried in Yonkers, or is this license
good any placer" asked the aged
bridegroom.
sInasmuch as you are not resi-
dents of this State, you must be mar
ried here" said Clerk O'Brien.
Then the latter referred the couple
to a justice of the peace, who has
memorized the ceremony, thereby
winning something of reputation
among the matrimonially inclined.
Mr.. Lyle's first wife, who was
Mary K. Newcomb, died a little more
than two years ago.-New York

While wind is sweeping a sea OF
fire eastward on the north side OF

an hour, the great body of flames
passed this section revealing a ca

portion of an international disaster.
Sixty blackened corpses have been
found in the path of the flames and
a vast area is yet to be searched for
dead, while towns of Spooner, Beau

not be calculated at present. With
the exception of the destruction OF

touched a corner Of the town, but the
principal loss is confined to the south
side of the river and chiefly sustained
along the American border.
