One Killed, Two Shot.

Lancaster, June IS. - Joseph
snipes, a white farmer of this coun-
ty is dead, and Albert Cunningham
and Manly Cook, young white men,
are charged by Coroner Kings jury
of inquest, which was held to-day,
with killing him, the homicide occur
ring yesterday afternoon about l6
miles east of Lancaster.
According to the testimony taken
at the inquest, Snipes lived on Cum
ningham's farm and was working a
crop on shares. The men had some
trouble Friday, when Cunningham
told Snipes not to work his mule any
more. Yesterday Cunningham went
to Kershaw and on returning in the
afternoon, accompanied by his friend,
young Cook, was informed that
Snipes had been working the mule.
Cunningham and Cook then went to
Snipes' home on the place. finding
him out in the yard. After some
words, one of the men, it is said, shot
at Snipes, who ran into the house,
followed by both men, where a num-
ber of shots were fired, Snipes being
struck by four of the bullets in the
body. neck and both arms.
Cunningham and Cook were also
shot, the former in the arm and the
latter through the hand, although
Snipes, it is said, did not do any of
the shooting. 1t is thought that
Cunningham and Cook accidentally
shot each other.
Snipes was about 35 years old and
leaves a widow and several children,
who were witnesses to the tragedy.
Upon the rendering of the jury
verdict this afternoon, Coroner King
issued a warrant for the arrest of
Cunningham and Cook, and placed it
in the hands of Sheriff Hunter, who
will bring the parties to jail if the
condition of their wounds will admit
of their removal.

FOUR CONVICTS KILLED.
Twenty-six Others Injured when
Bull Pen CollapSes.

Waynesville, June 1S.-Four con-
victs were killed, twelve seriously in
jured and fourteen convicts and
three guards slightly injured to-day,
in the collapse of bull pen near
Waterville, n. c., in the heart of the
"Smokies. the only remaining
mountain pass to the east. The con-
victs were all negroes and were en-
ployed on the construction work OF
the Transcontinental Railroad.
The men killed were: Albert
Wynn, Will Green, Henry Paul, and
Clarence Walker.r All four men had
only a few months of their time to
serve, one or two being due to leave
the camp in August. Major Wynn,
convicted at the same time as his
brother, who was killed, and Sylves-
ter Parham, serving 30-year SEN
tence for murder are not expected to
live
Capt. J. E. Hoskins, of Raleigh,
who was in charge of the prisoners,
went down with the pen and had to
be dug from the debris, suffering
several painful injuries. Guards j. E..
Nichols and Ed. McKerney had mar
row escapes from death, but were
only slightly injured.
The bull pen was built entirely OF
heavy logs and the weight of roof
caused it to collapse. The structure
slid down the mountain side without
warning for sixty-fve feet and not
one of the occupants escaped unin-
jured. The Tennessee and North
Carolina Railroad, which is fighting
the Transcontinental for right of
way, sent a special train from New
port, Tenn, to the scene with phy-
sicians and nurses and coffins for the
dead. The injured were taken to
Newport for treatment, under guard,
and the dead will be sent to Raleigh,
where the State penitcntiary is locat-
ed.

WATERWAYS TO BE INSPECTED
Rivers and Harbors Committee Will
Make Tour.

Washington, June 1S.-Durlng the
recess of congress. and for that mat
ter during the long days when the
senate alone will be discussing the
Canadian reciprocity pact, while the
house will be taking it easy, Chair
man Sparkman and members of the
rivers and harbors committee plan tc
visit a number of the more important
waterway projects which have strong
local backing. These personal IN
spections will be made for the pur'
pose of familiarizing the members
and particularly the new men OF the
committee with the needs of com
munities, cities and States in the de-
velopment of the inland waters OF
the country.
The first of the planned inspection
trips on the part of rivers and har-
bors committee was taken few days
ago under the personal direction OF

Chairman. Sparkman, speaking OF
the contemplated visits to other Sec

committee had been invited to inspect
the Ohio rivers from Oil City to
Pittsburg, the invitation coming from
Col. John L. Vance, president of the
Ohio Valley Improvement associa-
ton. This trip will probably be
made, but just when is largely de-
pendent on what the house will do
after the passage of the wool sched-
ule. Mr.. Sparkman will inspect some
of the rivers of South Carolina, &C
companied by Representative Eller-
be of that State, and he will endeavor
to look over part of the Mississippi
river above Kansas City, especially
that portion of the river which is in
cluded in the Fourth Missouri con-
gressional district, represented by
Charles F. Booher, member of the
rivers and harbors committee.
Mr.. Sparkman said he hoped that
a river and harbor bill would be

"Cross on the crowded ferry; there

teeth decayed, though CLOSED with
filings; eyes larkly pocketed beneath,
and their lids often quivering; skin
bleached; brows nervously contract

in a thousand compelling the eye of
on an artist to revisit his figure and
features. This, if you stop to think
upon it is really little startling, for
the human anatomy has been the

and in other departments OF art we
usually prefer the inspiration to the
