KELLY SUCCUMBS TO WOUND.
Kershaw Man Dies After Remarka
BILE Fight for Life-CornwcII Il
be Prosecuted

Camden, April 11.-Special: At
ter lowering between life and death
for about seven weeks with a large
hatchet wound in the top of his
head and a pistol ball lodged in the
back of his head, which passed
through his forehead, AdoIphus Kel-
ly, of Blaney, died last night at 7
O'Clock. His fight against death was
one of the most remarkable on rec
ord. Kelly, according to the story
told, came home drunk one night
and threatened to kill everyone in
the house, including the women.
! Brooks Cornwell, 1S-year-old boy,
lnterferred, and Kelly resented the
interference and attempted to
shoot Cornwell. Cornwel snatched
up a hatchet and split Kelly's head
open, exposing his brain. Kelly
still tried to shoot and Cornwell
forced the pistol against Kelly's
forehead, and in the scuffle it went
| off, the bullet going through the
brain and lodging in the back of
/ his head. Kelly then got a gun and
went through the rooms OF the
/ house looking for young Cornwell,
but was stopped by his wife, who
saw his condition. Az operation
was performed on Kelly that night,
ana since Jhen he mas been under
the care of Drs. J. w. Team, of
/ Ridgeway; Watson, OF Colum bia
and Grisby, of Blaney A piece of
brain as large as a hens egg. en-
closed in the brain tissue, protrud-
ed from the hatchet wound 1t was
impossible for the doctors to puf
/ it back i'll the proper place. KellYs
side was completely paralized 1he
pistol ball was never removed/ All
hope for Kelly's life was giVEn up
by the doctors as soon as they saw
his condition, but he has fingered on
week after week, gradually losing
ground, but never losing conscious
ness, until death relieved/his suffer-
ing last night.
Kelly's brothers will push the
prosecution of Cornwell. Cornwell
declares that no i'll feeling ever ex-
listed between them He said that
he is closely related to Kelly and
has lived with him all his life, and
| it was necessary for him to strike
/ Kelly as whiskey had him in a
craZed condition, and that he would
have killed him as well as the wo-
men in the house if he had not
struck him with hatchet.

PREACHER DROWNED.
Loses Life While Duck Hunting
Near ASheyille.

Charlotte, n. c., April 15.---News
was received mere this morning that
the Rev McNeely DuBose, well
known Episcopal rector was drowned
in the Catawba river r-Mersan-
ton, N. c., this morning white
duck hunting. DR.. DuBose was for
several years rector of St. Mary S
College, in Raleigh, N. c.. and occu-
pied other prominent pulpitS in the
South.
In company with his two young
sons, the minister-known through
out North Carolina by his pastorate
at one time of Trinity church in
Asheville and as once director of
St. Mary's College in Raleigh-left
his home in Morganton early in the
morning for a duck hunt.
By the side of the roaring Cataw-
ba, swelled by recent rains, he sat
and waited for the ducks that flew
near. Firing upon one of the fowls
which came close to the bank, he
killed the bird and the waves
brought it to the shore.
Leaning far over to take the duck
from the water Rev. Mr.. DuBose
lost his foothold, the bank caving
just trifle. Into the stream he
plunged and Immediately sank from
sight. Once he arose and grasped
at a floating piece Of wood. His
two sons. frantic with grief, knew
not what to do. The water was fast
rolling and they could not reach
their father had they jumped into
it,
With all possible haste they rush
ed to the homes of neighbors and
soon afterwards all Morganton knew
of the drowning of the pastor whose
voice has echoed through all North
Carolina
The river is being dragged while
the banks are lined with people who
are searching in every drift pile for
the body

McCurdy Airship Tied Up in Red
Tape.

For the last four days the United
States government has exerted itself
to keep off American soil the aero
plane i'll which J. A. d. McCurdy
flew from Key West to Cuba. The
argus-eyed officials of this port dis
covered that the aviator had failed
to secure clearance papers before he
scared away. There was nothing
within the scope of marine law
covering flight throgh the air from
one port to another, and they did
not know what to do
The aeroplane came to the port
of New York in the hold of the
Ward liner Saratoga. But there
was no evidence that anyone in au-
thority had ever authorized il to
leave this country. Neither could
it be put in bond as a foreign i'm
portation, because the CurtiSs COM
pany could prove that every stick
and shred in the craft was American
! grown and American made; further
more, it had made its debut as an
American flying machine at the
Belmont Park meet.
SkeinS of Red Tape.
After four days of anxious consul
tation among the various legal
lights in the office of the Collector
OF the Port ii was determined that
the machine could be admitted pro-
visionally because the craft had
landed on Cuban soil from the deck
OF the United States torpedo destroy
| er Paulding. Consequently the ma
chine is now on it's way to Ham
mondsport, n. Y, for repairs. But
the final dicision has been referred
for adjudication to the Secretary of
the Treasury, and the Curtiss COM
pany would not be surprised if it
should be necessary for Congress to
! pass a special law to permit the ma
chine to remain in this country.
When the aeroplane arrived in
this port on board the Saratoga,
Thomas T. Tuttle went to the dock
with a dray to get it out. He was
met by Assistant Collector of the
Port Symmons.
Il don't see how we can permit
this craft to land" said Mr.. SYM
mons. I'VE have looked up the rec
ords and we have telegraphed to
/ Key West, but we find no properly
authenticated record of its passage
to Cuba"

own flesh and blood to reward his
personal ambition in becoming a
member of the "SYSTEM".
LEONIDAS F. LIVINGSTON, w.
M. HOWARD AND w. G.. BRANT-
LEY are named by NORTHERN
MAGAZINES to be members of the
HSYSTEM' which saved CANNON
AND HIS RULES.
The Democrats pretended to favor
any method whereby the House
Rules could be blotted out of exis-
tence and which would allow the
members of the House to name COM
mittee members. At their recent
Caucas they endorsed plan far more
dangerous than to have allowed the
Speaker to name them, which was to
give this power to the Ways and
Means Committee; the present one
being named by Cannon himself.
This leaves Jos. G. Cannon in the
same position as such a small change
from Cannon to Cannon's Committee
will amount to but little.
Among the many despicable and
dangerous combinations we find the
heartless lumber trust. Can Mr..
Brantley explain why he voted for
higher duty on lumber?
1t would also be interesting for him
to explain why he voted for free pot
ash. Could it be possible that he
is interested in a fertilizer factory?
Other stains on his record can be
brought to light and the flippant ed
itors of the subsidiary presses had
just as we'll keep their columns open
for Brantley. In but the brief period
Of two years Old Man PeepuI will feed
the Deserter out of the same spoon
that Old Lon and Bill Howard drain
ed their last dregs.
1t is strange that our Congressman
had rather appoint some narrow
minded newspaper editor as Gin
Reporter etc. instead of some compe-
tent person who is accessible to the
ginneries. The despicable dema-
gogue knows that he will need the
pecuniary sheets to defend the stain
ed record he has made while serving
the "System'.
No person can inteligently deny
that this Congressman is partly re-
spOnsible for the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. The law which robs the con-
sumner and enriches a trust magnate
every time an article is purchased.
The purpose of the tariff is to raise
revenue and a law which favors and
protects one class at the expense of
another is plainly unconstitutional.
The producers share but very lit
tie benefit from their toll We wit
ness an industry in our own land
which makes more private gain than
every farmer in the South. The ag
ricultural people produce abundant
wealth yet they have no voice
whatever in the price it brings.
With Livingston and Howard in
the down and out club" every loyal
Democrat should join hands in plac-
ing Brantley among the same crew.
Brantley has faced charges without
making an explanation. He has kept
his subsidiary editors from denying
them, save one exception. 1t is
needless for them to elevate him
to the Senatorship for he will do
exceedingly well to hold what he has,
and the next election will result in a
verdict from the people demanding
that the corrupt henchman of Repub
licans abandon his seat in Congress.

DESERTER BRANTLEY: HIS AL
LANCE WITH REPUBLICANS
in HELPING PASS THE
TARIFF LAW, AND HOW
cone GALLUS" NEWSPA-
PERS ARE SUBSIDIZED.
BY Grover G. Edmondson.
N the parsonage of Represent
tative w. G. Brantley from the
18th. Congressional District
of Georgia, there is nothing
but narrow Righteousness and a char
acter that is destitute of regard for
an honor which has been conferred
upon him by his constituents.
This is shown by a careful perusal
OF his record which proves that
he has abandoned the interests
of his people on more than one &C.
cassion.
When the people elect a servant
they expect that he will be governed
by their wishes; that he will protect
their welfare in the Office where he is
placed.
They also expect him to follow the
obligations of his party's platform.
Ine collupC DeSerIer from the lltn.
District showed his regard for his
constituency when he abandoned his
own party to join hands with the Re-
publicans in rescuing Speaker Can
non.
The National Democratic Conven-
ton pledged itself to support any
movement made for the purpose of
depriving the Speaker of the House
Rules which allowed him to pack
Committees with his special appoint
ees. Pompous Brantley with this
headlight before him not only be-
trayed every principle of party trust,
but he abandoned Democracy to save
Autocracy in it's most vile stage.
This pretending Representative of
Democrats has proven himself to be
an advocate of Republican doctrine;
