HAD FIGHT WITH DISTURBER
OF WORSHIP AFTER CHURCH
SERVICES,
MANY BELIEVE HIM INNOCENT

big MOuntaineer Preacher Taken to
Penitentiary From GiImer County
to Serve Term of Eight Years for
Manslaughter.
ATLANTA. Rev. James A. Kim
mons, a big raw-boned mountain
preacher passed through Atlanta to-
Gay en- route to the state farm to
serve a sentc-ce of eight years for
killing Carter Lingerfelt in the yard
OF Mount Pisgah Baptist church in
OlImer county on Christmas eve.
The minister denies that he killed
Mngerfelt, but says he isNgoing quiz
city to serve out his sentence, then
return to his ministerial duties in
me mountains. He declares that he
only knocked Lingerfelt down when
ne was advancing upon him with a
par or brass knucks, and that when
ne got up and started at him with a
pistol he took the weapon away from
the man.
We were holding a conference,
ana was in the midst of my sermon
"nen | saw Lingerfelt, accompanied
ny nye others, walking around the
cnurch," he said. 1.-TWO of them had
Shot guns, Lingerfelt being one of

VI they amused themselves shooting

ne usual business session Lingerfelt
n'cked open the door and walked in.
ne mad threatened my life and l
thought he was going to shoot, but
ne ne amused himself in other ways.
NAen the services were over he ad-
T1anced toward me with brass knucks.
"Aen he started to strike I threw
NY hand with a Bible in it to ward
oH the blow and with the other
struck him to his knees. He then
started for me with a pistol, and as
We struggled l heard a shot, but |
HHeW nothing of it. Later I heard

NO affair in the mountains has
lLtGated as much excitement as the
hIiIlng of Lingerfelt. The man had
somewhat of a bad reputation, and

W eye-witnesses, to have been en-
urely unprovoked.

WILD WEST WAYS,
Six Men Shoot Up a Saloon in New
York City.

4 - N'N~AOOAA AAh WV
York City.
Six men, all armed with heavy
revolvers, entered by twos at three
entrances to the saloon of Henry
Fehn on upper Second avenue, New
York city.
At signal from the leader all six
began blazing away at the mirrors
and glassware.
About forty shots were fired with
such excellent effect that broken
glass was strewn all over the place
by the time two policemen ran up,
attracted by the fusilade.
The bluecoats found the saloon
empty except for the two bartenders,
who were crouching uninjured close
to the floor behind the bar in fear
of renewal of hostilities.
The six visitors had disappeared
as suddenly and as silently as they
came. The police believe that they
intended to rob the saloon of the
$500 in the till, but were frightened
at the racket their revolvers caused
and escaped without accomplishing
anything.

WANTS TO PAY A $40 DEBT.
Uncle Sam Has Spent $500 in an
EndeavOr to Do So.

EndeaVOr to Do So.
During the last seven years the
postoft1ce department has spent 5000
in fruitless attempt to pay a debt
of $40. The creditor has not been
located, but the department will
keep up the search.
In 1903 George w. Weart, post
master at Deal, n. j., paid the gov
eminent $40 to make good the loss
of a package held for which he was
responsible. Two years later the
package was found, and investigation
showed it had never arrived at Deal,
and Weart was not responsible. In
the meantime Weart had died.
His only heirs were ewo sons, both
of whom had gone west. James T.
Weart, the older, was traced to Ba-
kersville, Cal, where the trail was
lost. George S. Weart, the younger,
was believed to have been located in
Butte, Mont, last December, and a
check for $40 was mailed him. The
letter came back unopened. Weart
was not known at Butte.

CENTENARIANS.
Some of Them Were Men Who Got
Drunk Every Night.

Some of Them Were Men Who Got
Drunk Every Night.
The majority of centenarians have
been poor people who have led very
simple lives. A few rich men have
reached extreme age, but they are
exceptional. Wealth does not tend
to promote longevity. Poverty car
ries with it sobriety, especially in
old men, and it has been shown that
sobriety tends to prolong life, and
that most centenarians are known
indeed to have been drunkards, as
the English surgeon Politman, who
died at 10 in 1895, and who was in
the habit of getting drunk every
night after spending the day per-
forming difficult surgical operations.
Another example is the Irishman
Brown, who lived to 100 and who
had the inscription placed on his
tombstone that "he was always
drunk, and while in this state looked
so terrible that even death was
afraid of him" A good constitution
nevertheless and simple habits pro-
mote long life.

GIRL HAS A LONELY VIGIL
WHAT THE CROWD AT RAILROAD
STATION NIGHT HAVE SEEN.
A Five Year-OId Lass Was Accom-
panying Pine Box Containing
Body of Her Mother.

Body of Her Mother.
1t was just growing dusk in the
big outside world last night, but in
the Union Station scores of great
great electrics flickered and sputter-
ed in ceaseless brilliance, says the
Washington Herald. The hurrying
crowds, well dressed and merry,
passed in ever varying panorama be-
fore a tiny bit of humanity cuddled
up in corner of a bench in the
waiting room, so small and incon-
spicuous that she was unnoticed.
Had even one of the happy throng
stopped for a moment to investigate
it would have seen that the little girl
was crying and that one travel-stain-
ed hand continually dabbed at her
big tear-dimmed blue eyes with a
wee handkerchief, limp and soiled
from much use.
She was waiting for the train from
the north that would convey her and
her mama, who was lying in a big
pine box that seemed strangely like
a coffin, in the baggage room, to
her auntie's home in Savannah, Ga.
For more than an hour she had
been waiting and watching for the
guard to tell her that the train had
come in, and all this time her little
heart had yearned for some word of
comfort and cheer. She knew that
in the busting city other girls and
boys of her age were being fed their
bread and milk and were being tuck
ed into bed by the loving arms of a
mother, and rocked to sleep to the
tune of simple nursery rhymes.
Mama and I lived in New York,
but mama died yesterday and now
we must go to auntie's house." and
the tears would creep down her
white face, however brave she tried
to be. 1t was a pathetic story of
poverty and trials in a great city,
and the lonely heart of a 5-year-old
girl.

TO PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECT
ING THE FAMILY WE'LL.
Report by the United States GeOIog-
iCal Survey on Matter of Inter-
est and Importance.

Report by the United States GeOIOg-
ical Survey on a Matter of Inter-
est and Importance.
The menace of typhoid fever in
country Districts menace arising
from polluted drinking water-is
thoroughly considered in a report
by Myron l.. Fuller, of the United
States Geological Survey, in which
the various sources Of pollution are
indicated and suggestions are given
for means of protection.
Typhoid fever rates are usually
greater in the country than in cities,
despite the prevailing belief that
farms, isolated as they are from
areas Of congested population, are
ideally situated for obtaining pure
and wholesome water
Wells Unprotected.
Failure to protect adequately the
wells in farming districts is given in
the surveys report as the#most COM
mon reason for their pollution, and
ignorance of the manner in which
ground water circulates is the cause
or the faulty protection Chemical
analysis is not rated high by Mr..
RULER as means of detecting poll
luted water, for he asserts that a
careful common-sense inspection of
the district is usually much more to
the point.
Radius of Danger Zone.
Sources of pollution in the vicinity
OF a well or spring should be noted
Wherever possible, and drinking wa
ter should not be drawn except at a
safe distance from them. The dis
lance required for absolute safety
varies greatly with the character of
the rock. For wells sunk in sand
stone, slate and shale 100 feet NAV
be sufficient; where the surface STRAIT
UNI is composed of fine sand 200
feet should be allowed; and where
IL is limestone or granite much
greater distances will he NECESSARY
water may run polluted in limestone
Tor miles, so that wells in regions
Where limestone makes up the great
er part OF the surface rock should be
carefully examined after rains for
mud and floating matter, for these
are pretty sure indications of pollu-
ton.
Suggestions for Protection.
For protecting wells, springs and
clsterns Mr.. Fuller advocates. first
OF all, a water-tight lining to keen
out surface water. Wells and sprin Is
should always be covered and pro-
tected from animals, dust and fall
Ing leaves. Watering troughs should
always be located a safe distance
away, though the custom prevails
in country districts of having we'll
and trough side by side.
