Atlantic. Dec. 2l.-When the local
train from the west arrived in Wiota
Monday morning there alighted from
it a we'll dressed stranger about So
years of age. carrying two suit cases.
Leaving his grips at the depot he went
uptown and to the hardware store.
where he purchased Stevens rifle OF
twenty-five caliber. Nothing more was
seen of the man till Tuesday when his
body was found near a little creek
near Wiota. shot thru the heart by his
own hand, and beside him lay the rifle
with which he had ended his life.
Evidently the man had come to the
town with the deliberate intention Of
the train at Wiota because 1t IL q
small place and he considered 1t the
best to carry out his plans. The body
had lain the greater part OF the day
and night when found.
AS soon as the body was discovered
Sheriff Berry and Coroner Neis Jen-
sen were notified and they fastened
to Wiota. An inquest was held over
the body, the coroner's jury being
composed of F. w. Beebe. c. G. Nord-
mann and r. r. Bell and the verdict
was to the effect that deceased came
to his death by his own hand.
Investigation Of the dead mans ef-
fects showed the grips packed witt
photograp hic supplies and no money
on his person. His grips are valuable
and he had about him several articles
of iewelry of some value. Letters in
his pockets bore the name Of P. Sanda :

them was 722 South Twenty-eighth

MESSENGER BOYS, ON
STRIKE, INACCURATE
COOPERATIVE PLAN

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 6.-You
can't lose a messenger boy, though
you may lose a message.
November IA the messenger boys
of the Western Union and the Amer
lean District Telegraph companies
went out on strike under the leader
ship of Harry Murray, secretary of
the Messenger Boys Protective union.
It was a hard fight for them, a
bunch of youngsters against two big
corporations, but the boys were en-
dowed with pluck to spare, and held
out for what they regarded as just
demands.
The small strikers were all poor in
dollars but rich in ideas. and soon
one of them proposed to open a CO.
operative messenger company.
1t was an immediate and effective
solution of the financial difficulties Of
the young rebels, but when they at
tempted to carry out the idea they
found their plans blocked by the red
tape of the city government.
BY some strange fatality their ap-
,plication for a city license was amaz-
ingly delayed in it's passage through
the tOrtuOus route of officialdom.
: eve will get it by and BY" said
Harry Murray, and he advised the
boys to keep brave heart. The
brave heart was kept accordingly,
and now the boys see the way to the
end Of their troubles.
The long delayed license has been
secured and the cooperative mes
senger service is In full swing, and it
is now up to all who love a plucky
fighter to give patronage to the new.

PANTSMAKERS OF new
YORK GO OUT ON A
new YEARS STRIKE

New York. Jan. 6.-The knee pants
makers Of this city are starting the
new year with a. general strike,
which affects from 1000 to 5000 men
and women in about 500 shops.
The strike is the result of the wage
reductions of the workers which have
been going on since the beginning of
the dull season. This time the fight
will be centered against the manu-
facturers and not against the contrac-
tors, as in previous years.
Since the beginning of the dull sea-
son the manufacturers have been cut
ting the wages so that the workers
say it is now impossible to make a
living in the trade.
For the first time in ten years the
workers employed in the shops will
also join the strike. There are about
ten of these shops. An energetic
campaign has been waged to organize
them, and as a result, the majority
of them have enrolled in the organ
ization, and will respond to the strike
call and lay down their tools. The
principal demand will be the estab-
lishment of a standard wage, which
the union has been planning for 4
number of years.
The strike will practically be for
the restoration of the wage which
has been cut during the last year
and which will amount to about

100000 WORKERS VICTIMS OF
INDUSTRIAL DISEASES EACH YEAR

-. st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. Cat the
fourth annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Association for Labor Legtsla-
ton here, an interesting discussion
was held ON three important topics
Industrial hygiene, limitation Of the
working hours of women, and en-
forcement Of labor laws.
DR.. John B. Andrews, secretary Of
the association, took up the ques-
ton. do we need a special clinic
for the study and prevention of in
dustrial diseases?" He referred to
the fact that every year there are
at least 100000 cases of sickness
among the workers, due to the injuri-
Whole categories of industrial
diseases yet remain to be investigated
and adequate treatment for their
cure studied out. A great per-
centage of total sickness is due to
occupational diseases; but physicians
have no opportunity in the course Of
their education to study them, and
no systematic study of them is I'M
dertaken by any state authority in
America.
Under these circumstances, con-
Guided DR.. Andrews, the establish
ment of such a special clinic as sug-
gested would enable physicians to
study occupational diseases as part Of
their educational equipment; and it
would materially facilitate the dis
covery of the best methods of treat
ing such diseases.
The subject of industrial hygiene
was opened by Frederick L. Hoffman,
of the Prudential Insurance COM
pany, who urged that our system of
factory inspection is inadequate, and
pointed out the lack Of useful in
formation in the reports of the state
factory inspectors, their slight value
being largely due to the lack of
qualified medical assistance.
Mercurial Poisoning.
A short report on "mercurial pois-
oning in the industries of New York
and New Jersey" was submitted by
the women's branch IN. Y. and N. j.
Of the National Civic Federation. No
statistics were obtainable on the sub
| ject, hospital records being either
nom existent or helplessly defective,
physicians, for reasons Of self-in-
terest or professional secrecy, often
being unwilling to give the infor-
nation at their disposal, and the
workers themselves being afraid to
say much lest they offend their en-
ployers. The greatest impeachment OF
| all, however, was the reluctance OF
| factory owners and managers to al
! low any inspection of health condi-
! tons in their factories.
In spite Of these conditions the
committee had, in three months
! through a special investigator, Miss
| Florence Roehm, compiled a record
| of sixty cases of mercurial poison.

! Orange. The figure is significant
when compared with the reports fol

in twelve months only ninety
cases were reported. The committee

g rLEASE PARDONS G. w. HUNTER
f4aurens Man Had Been Under Pc
role for Several Months.

Columbia, June 30.-Goyernor
i'lease has pardoned G. Washington
lLunter, the Laurens county man who
mas been under parole for the last
several months. Hunter, who is
generally known as Wash" Hunter,
vas convicted Of the killing of Ell
hert Copeland, at Clinton, and SEN
'enced to eight years in the State
lenitentiary. The case went to the
supreme Court of the United States,
having gone through the courts Of
this State. Hunter lost his appeal
% the United States Court last fall,
md shortly after Governor Blease
came into Office he was paroled until
July |.
Hunter was tried at the February
term Of court, 1906, and being con-
ricted of manslaughter was sentenc-
I'd to eight years imprisonment
There was a change of venue In this
case from Laurens county to Green
wood.
Four times Hunter was tried in
Laurens county, there being one con-
giction, the verdict Of the jury being
set aside. Then there was a change
Of venue granted. This came up to
Lhe Supreme Court and the Circuit
Judge was sustained. Then the trial
came at Greenwood with the result
that the conviction and sentence was
secured. Then up through the State
Supreme Court and the United
States Supreme Court the case went.
The Hunter trial was one of the most
noted in the history Of criminal trials
IN South Carolina.
There were over 700 names signed
on the petitions for pardon.
Among the signatures were seve-
al of the jurors who served when
the case was tried in Laurens.
Governor Blease stated Friday
that he was moved in this case by
The Supreme Courts reversal in the
lazarus case, this case reversing the
Hunter case. That if the Hunter
case had had the advantage Of pre-
Visions decision in the Lazarus case
It would have been decided differ
emily. Governor Blease indicated
that he would, later, at the proper
time, amplify his statement in the
Hunter case as to the reasons for
pardon.
