Held Records for Eccentricity.

St. Louis, Dec. 12.-John Nor
rison-Fuller, formerly banker in
Glasgow, Mo-, died here to-day from
q fractured skull which he received
by falling on ice last week. He was
a man of wealth. He took his wife's
name when he married.
When his home town voted for 10
cal option, Morrison-Fuller opcnd up
a free drinking place and in one year
gave away $1,000 in drinks to his
friends. He established "a bank in
Glasgow so he would have a place TO
loaf, as he thought the bank then IN
existence objected to his loahng
there.
Some years ago when he disagreed
with the opinions of the editor OF a
paper already established, he began
publishing newspaper OF his OWL.

GIRL HANGS HERSELF.
Disappointment in q Love Affair is
Thought to be Cause.

Lake City, Dec. 12.-Susie Gore,
the 15-year-old daughter of Henry
Gore, of Vineland, N. c., to-day be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock deliberately
took her own life by hanging herself.
She went in the barn near the house
Of her cousin, where she had been
staying for the past five months,
placed rope over the joist by stand
ing on barrel, then around her
neck and jumped OF the barrel. 1t
Is thought that she could have easily
saved her own life even after she had
jumped had she felt so inclined, as
there was a wall near, to which she
could have easily caught with her
hands.
On the barrel she left note, d.
rected to her cousin, in which she
gave instructions as to what disposi-
tion they should make of her body.
She also mentioned the name Of the
young man with whom she had been
going recently and it is supposed that
she had been disappointed in love
affair. There seems to have been no
other possible reason for the rash
act.
Her body will be sent to her home
in North Carolina tomorrow for
burial. -

Propose Merger of Cotton Mills.

Charleston, Dec. IA number OF
representatives of cotton mills In
which Lewis w. Parker is interested
held conference to-day at the Com
mercial club building with view of
merging the properties under one
management and forming a syndicate
with capital of s10,000,000,
The plan was generally approved,
it is said, but not actually determined
upon and probably will not be for
a time to come. It seemed to be the
opinion of the mill people that merg-
ing of interests offered possibilities
of increased profits, economy Of oper-
alton and generally improved condi-
tion Of the industry.
The cotton mill people were not in
clined to discuss the proposition in
advance of the final action, yet to
be taken on the matter.

IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
acknowledgements About
Men and Happenings.

Rev. Jno. F. Matheson, now Of
Washington, Ca, has accepted the
call of the Presbyterian. church at
Union. He is native Of Cheraw,
this State.
O. L. Schumpert, a prominent
lawyer Of Newberry, died last Sat-
urday night. He had been solicitor
and ran for governor several years
ago. He held high rank as a lawyer,
and often had held court as special
Judge.
The merger suit, brought by the
State of South Carolina against the
Southern Railway, is still being tried
in the Richland court The trial Of
the case consumed all Of last week,
and there is no intimation of when ii
will be concluded.
The Evening Piedmont, of Green
vile, has gone into the hands of a re-
ceiver, L. A. Mills being appointed
by Judge Prince. The paper was re-
Gently chartered with a capital of
$4,000. J. r. McGhee has resigned
as editor and is succeeded by H. C..
Booker.
South Carolina's' increase in popu-
lation is only 175, 5,084, and is not
quite sufficient to entitle the State
to another congressman on the pres
ent basis of one representative to
each 1874, 200 of thes population. II
W-apportionment shall be based on a
larger number than heretofore, it is
probable that South Carolina may
lose a congressman.
State Bank Examiner Giles L. Will
son has rendered his resignation to
Governor Ansel to take effect early
in January. Mr.. Wilson resigns to
accept position as national bank ex-
aminer, his territory to embrace
Georgia, South Carolina and por-
ton of North Carolina. Mr.. Wilson
succeeded Examiner Holleman, OF
Anderson, in Office about two years
ago and has made one Of the most
efficient State officials, his ability
attracting the attention Of Comptroll-.
er Of the Currency Murray. He was
offered a position in his department
some time ago, but did not reach 9
decision in the matter until within
the last few days. The territory he
will have is regarded as the very best

KILLED BY HIS sTEPsON.
Was Preparing to Strike Boys Moth
er When Shot.

Protecting his mother against an
attack of her husband, Jim Cham
bers, colored, shot and instantly kill
ed Cary Palmer, also colored, at their
home which is situated on the farm
Of T. R. TRIMMER, located on the
Forest road about seven miles from
the city.
The tragedy occurred Saturday
night about o'clock. It seems that
Cary Palmer was engaged in dis
pute with his wife, Emma Palmer,
over the ownership of some cotton
bills. Jlast as the dead man was on
the point OF striking his wife, her
son entered, the room and was cursed
by Palmer. At the time Palmer had
a shotgun. He put this weapol
aside. however, and went to the yard
where he secured an axe. Returning
to the house. the quarrel was re-
shmed and the testimony In the in
quest showed that Cary struck
Chambers with the axe.
When hit with the axe, Jim Inn
mediately fred on Cary with the shot
gun, the entire load taking effect in
the face and head. He died instant
ly.
Coroner Turner was notified and
went to the scene where an inquest
was held yesterday morning. But
one witness was sworn In the inquest.
This was Emma Palmer, the wife of
the dead man and the mother of his
slayer. She was the only eyewitness
to the affair. The verdict of the
coroner's jury was that the deceased,
Cary Palmer, came to his death
from the effects of a gun shot wound
inflicted by Jim Chambers.
Chambers has been arrested and is
in the county jail. He will probably
be tried at the next term of criminal
court.-Spartanburg Journal.

also playing the part of innocent by

MUNICIPAL TROUBLES.
Mayor Dukes and the Aldermanic
Board Clashes.

-
Board Clashes.
A very harmless looking little mat
ter produced quite a storm at the
meeting of the Orangeburg city coun-
ell last Friday night, during which
Mayor Dukes put the aldermen on
notice that If they did certain thing
he would resign his Office, After q
little deliberation, the aldermen did
exactly what the mayor did not want
them to do, which was returning (
bail bond Of $50, which had been
forfeited BY a colored woman, who.
it is claimed, bears an unsavory rep-
utation. The Evening News, Of that
city gives the following account Of
the affair: - IS;
Under the head of police commit
tee, came a report which brought
forth some heated remarks. Chair

the house damaged, and that one

stated that he had investigated the
case, and that upon the testimony
of the officer, who made the arrest
there was on disturbance at this,

Mrs. White, who is a young and very
attractive woman, was as fluent of
speech as her consort is with the pen.
There is not a phase of the Kansas
politics that she doesn't know with
thoroughness, even to the small de-

as is Murdoch himself. and if betting

MRS. ENrNIA~ALLEN DEAD.
Was Indicted for Murder by Grand
Jury at Arkansas City.

Arkansas City, Kan, May 30.-Mrs.
Emma Allen, foster mother of Louis
w. Potterton, who was indicted by a
coroner's jury on April 80 on the
Potterton on January 1. 1910, died at
her home here yesterday. She had
been i'll for two months and the cause
of her death is given as organic heart
disease. Her son, Henry Cease, and
wife Of Augusta, Kan, and her broth
er, Chief of Police Barton of Trinidad,
Colo, were with her when she died.
While the belief is generally preva-
lent here that Mrs. Allen made a state
ment some days ago declaring that
Potterton was not implicated in caus-
ing the death of his wife. the report is
not given as a fact. Potterton, who is
charged jointly with her with causing
the death of Mrs. Potterton by adj
ministering arsenic, is still in the coun-
tx iail.
