FORMER AIKEN MAN ACQUITTED
Thomas O. West, enlarged With
Shooting Woman, Goes Free.

Louisville, Oct. 26.-Thomas o.
West, tried on a charge of shooting
and wounding Miss Hattie Weather
by last June, has been acquitted.
Attorneys for the defendant, a native
of Aiken, S. c., now secretary and
treasurer of a life and accident in
surance company in Louisville, based
their defence on temporary mental
responsibility at the time of the
shooting. The young woman, shot
as she rode with a neighbor, has re-
covered.
It is said that West will settle
$4,000 on her instead of waiting
for possible civil action for dam
ages.

KILLED BY GAFFNEY MAN.
Would-be Slayer of Autoist Becomes
the Victim.

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 29.-Be-
cause he allowed his prejudice
against automobiles to carry him to
the extent of drawing pistol on a
passing car this evening, Sam Whith-
er, wealthy Cleveland county
farmer, lost his life. Facing the
drawn weapon in Whither's hand
and believing that he intended carry
ing out his threat, Lucius Randall,
prominent Gaffney, S. c., business
man, shot Whittier twice, killing him
instantly.
The tragedy occurred two miles
from Shelby, in Cleveland county,
Randall, who is native Of Cleve-
land, made the trip to North Caro-
lima to-day to visit relatives. On a
public road he met Whittier in his
buggy. The latter alighted, and
drawing his pistol, approached Ran
dall's machine and announced that
he was going to kill him.
Randall pleaded with him, but as
he continued to approach, reiterat-
ing his threat, Randall drew his own
weapon and put two bullets in the
farmers head. He then surrendered
to the sheriff. The men were not
acquainted and Whither's well known
antipathy to the invasion of the au-
tomobile is the accepted theory in
accounting for his actions.

THE CoLoRED FAIR.

The fourth Annual Fair Of the Col
ored Farmers of Bamberg County
will begin, November 18th, 18th, and
18th. This will take place at the
old fair ground at the Vorhees In
dustrial School, under the auspices
of the Negro Farmers Fair Associa-
ton.
The obje.c Of this fair is to show
our progress along Industrial lines
and stimulate our people to a great
er effort.
The demonstrations Of the farm
ers' cooperative demonstration work
are to make a great display Of the
products grown on their special
acres. They are planning to have
great corn show. Members Of the
Boys Corn Club will make display
of their corn.
We want this to be booster" fair,
to boost our great county by showing
the products grown on It's soil ana
the great prospects for the future.
We want all the farmers, minis
ters, teachers, and all who desire
the progress of all the people 70
come and help make this fair sue
cess.
Space will be given to any of our
white friends who may desire to
make a display of any Of their pro-
ducts. We cannot afford for them to
be better to us than we are to them.
We also make a special appeal to
them to help us in this great boost
ing" and uplifting movement.
South Carolina stands third in the
average yield of corn and cotton. We
want our State to take the first
rank. County fairs will go long
way to solve that problem. With the
aid of our white friends, we are go
ing to have one one Of the greatest
industrial fairs ever held In this
county.
ATTRACTIONS.
While we shall make our agricul-
tural and industrial exhibits OF the
fair the main feature, driving and
speeding spirited horses around our
quarter mile track will be a specially

have a merry-go-round and a splend-
i'd brass band. A match game Of ball
will be played each afternoon, follow
ed by a concert at night Rev.

HEROINE SAVES EIGHT LIVES.
Rescues Men Forced to Abandon
Burning Dredge.

Savannah, Ca, Oct. 26.-The
burning of the river dredge No. Is,
belonging to the P. Sanford Ross
Company, eight miles from this city,
on the Savannah river this morning,
is supposed to have cost one life and
has proved Misss Annie Martus, who
lives in a light tenders house, a
heroine. When the dredge caught
fire and became so hot the thirty-two
men on board could no longer re-
main, all hands attempted to escape,
seeking different means.
Eight of the men got aboard a
small pontoon moored to the side of
the dredge, and cut away from it..
They were being rapidly carried to
sea and to almost certain death. The
cries of the men in distress were
heard by Miss Martus, and getting
into boat she rowed to the scene
and took the pontoon in tow. The
other men later were rescued from
the marsh. All hands were brought
to the city this morning, on the
dredge Cumberland, except VIM. Au-
gustus, who is believed to havesper-
ished. Miss Martus is generally
known to maritime travellers as the
"Waving Girl" because of her GUS
tom of waving flags or lanterns to
all passing ships both day and night.

LOCAL OWLS UNWORRIED
BY ATLANTA FLURRIES
Have Secured William JGn-
ningS Bryan

The local Nest Of Owls is in the
same position as the Birmingham
order with regard to its attitude
towards the recent reports sent out
from Atlanta concerning the conduct
of the business of that branch of the
Order, according to officials Of the
local organization.
Briefly stated, this position is that
they will continue to conduct their
business affairs without being influence
ed by the example set by the Atlanta
Owls. Like the local order Birming-
hams Nest has secured William Jea-
nings Bryan to lecture The following
clipping from the Birmingham paper
shows the position Of that Order:
The Birmingham Nest of the Order
Of Owls, which has a membership Of
more that 500, will not give up its
charter nor will it disband Despite
many rumors that were not so very
encouraging, the local nest has decided
to retain its organization and will car
ry on the business as first planned
until such time as it is positive that
things are not what they seem. G. F..
Riddle, the president of the local nest
is authority for the statement that
there are no reasons for any dis
bandmen5, and says further that in
case it is not desired to continue
along the lines originally set out, the
local organization is to be kept intact.
There is positively no assault made on
any one or thing here and the 1880
member Nest promises to boom, says
Mr.. Riddle, who was one of a commit
tee to go to Atlanta to make inyestiga-
ton into conditions

ton with wh.ca New York is concern

ginsers, They do not say how muea

may be expected to rise-whether 10

that none of the buildings planned up

perts, will outlast the Pyramids.

fqrever There's no reason why they
should ever wear out
Along VITA the elaborate wind-brac-
ing Of the steel frame and the strong
founda ions, what makes the modern
skyscraper indestructi5le is the protec-
ton Of the steel from fire and corro-
SIGN If the metal started to rust, the
destruction of the building would re
only a question of time.
The way in which the steel-and-hol-
low tile buildings went through the
San Francisco fire showed that this
type Of skyscraper was practically in
destruc ible In every steel building
that gave way under the heat the frame
had been left unprotected or half pro-
tected.
The recent demolition of a skyscrap-
er in New York, to make place for a
larger one, gave a striking illustration
of the durability of protecting steel
Architects and builders, eager to see
how the frame had stood, found that it
was just as good as new when the pro-
tecting material was stripped off. The
type of construction proved to have
been so satisfactory that it was follow
ed in the new building on the same
site
