Of Messrs. Vonderlehr, Brown and

The committee did not think that
the city should be subjected to such
an extra expense. although 1t is con-
tended by the heads of the depart
ments that a special messenger would
actually be a saving to the city. In
that he would perform duties now
performed by regular employees whose
services are far more valuable than

WOMAN SHOOTS MAN
FOR ALLEGED insult
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR JUS T
OVER THE NORTH CAROLINA
LINE FROM HORRY.

At Tabor. N C, just across the
line from Horny county Sunday
night, Robert M Floyd, a native of
Horny county and a student at the
State Medical college at Charleston,
was shot to death by Mrs N M
Hayes, who says that Floyd insulted
her. Mrs Hayes used an automatic
pistol. Her statement in brief was:
That Floyd came Saturday evening
to the door of her house, which was
locked. She opened the door and
let HIM in; they shook hands and he
inquired about an ailment she had
which he had come to treat; that he
made her an improper proposal and
laid hands on her and attempted to
take advantage Of her; that they
tussled toward the head of her bed.
when she ran her hand under a
pillow and drew out an automatic
pistol, which she pressed close to
her assailant's breast and shot seven
bullets into him. She said she was
running backwards while shooting
and both fell out of the door to-
gether. She went back into the
room, got another pistol and shot
him twice more. The nine shots all
took effect, puncturing the mans
body from the waist line to the fore
head.
Robert NJ Floyd, the victim of the
woman's pistol, was about 29 years
old and was we'll known in the com
munity. At college he was regard
ed as a Christian gentleman and he
taught class in the First Baptist
church Sundays in Charleston.

Mrs Hayes admitted that when he
visited their home several times be-
fore he had acted as gentleman in
every respect.
A letter was found in Floyd's
pocket from Mrs Hayes, csuched in
the friendliest terms, requesting
him to treat some moles on her face.
The bearer of this letter walked into
barber shop kept by Hayes. the
woman's husband, Saturday evening,
and stated his business. Hayes, who
conducts a country store in connec-
ton with the shop. told Floyd to go
on to the house and that he would
join him there in a few minutes,
meantime insisting on Floyd's taking
supper and spending the night. When
Floyd was shot he had not removed
his overcoat.
The latest reports state that Mr.
and Mrs Hayes and Floyd Hayes, a
brother of the husband, have been
lodged in Jail pending further inves-
tigat;on of the affair, which has
caused quite g sensation.

Difficult Scriptures on He'll.

A little Book selling at only ten
cents, postpaid, is having very wide
circulation-running up into the mil
lions. 1t contains some very startling
information respecting the meaning Of
the word He'll. 1t claims to demon
strate, both from the Hebrew and the
Greek Of our Bible, that He'll is NOT
a place of eternal torment, but merely
another name for the TOMB, the
GRAVE, THE STATE OF DEATH. 1t
affects to show that man was not re-
deemed from far-off place Of eternal
torture, but quotes the Scriptures prov
ing that he was REDEEMED from the
GRAVE at the cost Of his Redeemer's
LIFE and that the ScripturaI Hope,
both for the Church and the World.
is a resurrection hope based upon the
death and resurrection Of Jesus. The
book is certainly worth the reading.
The information 1t furnishes Is GER
tainly valuable, far beyond its tri6lng
cost. Order 1t at once from the Bible
and Tract Society. II Hicks street,
