Bill Shuler, a negro, in a brawl near
Sixty Six Sunday, September "a, the
preliminary trial of the case that
was to have been heard by Magistrate
A. S. Dukes Tuesday has been post
poned. Young Warn was slashed
with knife several times in the
throat and neck and he was sent to
Charleston, as complications were
feared.
Bill Shuler, who cut Warn, has not
been arrested. Very little has been
learned of the causes leading up to
the difficulty. A warrant has been
issued for Shuler, charging him with
assault and battery with intent to
kill. Warrants have also been issu-
ed for Fletcher Warn, Thomas Fairey,
an uncle of Warn, and five negroes,
John Scott, Elliott Leaven, Tom Will
liams, Aaron and Wesley Thomas.
All are charged with gambling. Leav-
en- and Williams were arrested and
released under bonds of 5000 each.
Williams has since become crazed,
and ran all the way to Bowman a few
nights ago and told a wild story of
being chased by a mob from Branch
vile, Aaron and Wesley Thomas
were also arrested and are held in
Orangeburg jail without bail under
the additional charge of aiding Shu-
Ter to escape.-Branchville Journal.

TO EDIT CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
Major j. G. HemphilL will Leave the
Richmond Times Dispatch.

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 5.-Novem'
ber 1, the Observer Company, pub.
Usher of the Charlotte Daily Observ'
er, is to undergo reorganization
On that date Major j. G. Hemphill is
to become the editor of the Observer
and Mr.. A. E. Gonzales is to assume
the Office of publisher and managing
director.
Both of these gentlemen became
stockholders in the company. Two
other new stockholders will be Mr.,
George Stephens and Mr.. Word H.
Wood. Mr.. D. A. Tompkins, the
present controlling stockholder, will
retain some of his stock, and will
continue to be identified with the OBJ
server.
This announcement will be made in
the Observer tomorrow morning, the
plans for the reorganization, which
have been under consideration for
some time, having been perfected to-
day.
The new editor of the Observer is
known the South over as one of the
ablest editors, having won renown as
editor of the Charleston News and
Courier, on which paper he spent 80
years of his journalistic career. For
a year and a half he has been editor
Of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Mr.. Gonzales is principal owner OF
the Columbia State, and is possessed
of unusual business ability, as has
been amply proved.
In Messrs. Stephens and Woods,
the Observer Company acquires two
of the most active business develop
ers in Charlotte. Mr.. Stephens is
president of the American Trust
Company and is interested in other
concerns in Charlotte, and is also
president of the famous Kanuga Lake
Club, near Hendersonville. Mr.. Wood
is secretary and treasurer of the
American Trust Company and is in
terested in other business in the
State.
The Observer was founded by Mr..
J. P. Caldwell, and under his editor
ship became one of the most infuen-
tial newspapers of the South. Mr..
Caldwell was paralyzed two years
ago, and has never recovered sufici-
emily to resume his editorial duties.

FOR COUNTRYWIDE MOVE
Foes of tuberculosis Have Plan to
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.

April 80 has been set aside this year
as Tuberculosis Day." and will be OBJ
served in 100000 churches in the
country in a manner similar to that
of tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910,
when 10000 sermons were preached
on the prevention of tuberculosis. In
the first official announcement of the
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, the leaders of the
movement state that they hope to en-
list all of the 100000 church mem.
bers in the country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday of
1910. Instead of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause special Sunday service, the
national association Is going to ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject Of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 80. or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
What we want" says Mr.. Living
ston Farrand, executive secretary OF
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis, In
citation for the study and prevention
report on this movement, SIS to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 100000 churches
Of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible"

And the fields are white and fair;

Through the bosky dells and glades,
For 1t makes a man grow fonder
OF the snow through which he wades.
It's particularly pleasing
Maying with your fingers freezing.
Hear the robbins merry chatter,
Hark the songs that they repeat
While they wonder what's the matter
AS they nurse their frozen feet!
See the butterflies ~leap gaily
AS they dance adown the breeze
They must exercise thus daily
Or with asthma they will wheeze.

When the world about is playing.
See the lamblxin as II gambols
On the hillside near Its dam,
How on frozen slopes 1t scrambles-
Cunning. gentle, frigid lamb!
How the honeybees are humming,
Droning music as they go
See, few of them are coming
Coasting on the flakes of snow
How the tender leaves are shaking
AS from the boughs they're breaking
Come, wen share our joys together;
Welcome spring with hearts elate,
Fare forth in the balmy weather.
We can either stroll or skate.
Going Maying thus is joyous
In our furs and overshoes,
With no sunstrokes to annoy us
Who another mood would choose?
It is pleasant to go Maying
When we have such splendid sieighing!

of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and l myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
Il know it was that, because when
! would leave it off for few day; I
would feel better. But it was hard to
give 1t up, even though realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last | found perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago | abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and also in

the same. Even the children are al

loose reins in hand, saw the banker
wade out waist, shoulder, neck deep,
and then disappear The afternoon
tide rolled the dead body through the
spume upon the sand with the sea-
drift. Forty days thereafter the Bank
of California opened it's doors again,
but Forty-niners did not forget that
the man who had shared his coffee-pot
with Sharon had also accused him.
Ralston's son Samuel went to ST.
IBERIA, where he believed there was an
other Ell Dorado. He failed to find it.,
returned and killed himself. Two of
his friends in the Improbable venture
were murdered; another died with a
point of steel between his ribs on the
heart side in what they called duel.
Getting back to Sharon, the Forty
miner. It should be said here that his
life was not always an open book He
had his failings. Some time after the
death of Mrs. Sharon, who had lived
to see him discard the cowhide boots
forever, Senator Sharon was sued by
plump, roundfaced woman known to
contemporary divorce litigation as
Sarah Althea Hill. She entered into
the contest for Sharon's money with
energy and zeal. For reasons which
the distinguished senator very well
knew, she said, he had refrained from
acknowledging her as his wife. Her
counsel was David S. Terry.
Broderick the Next Victim.
Odd how men and matters shaped
themselves in those days Terry was
i a leader OF the southern California
Democrats, who had his trousers made
with ample pistol pockets. He was
elected chief justice of the California
supreme court and had served Just

the judicial routine when he and Sena.

on. Terry one day surprised his
friends by marrying his client. The
fight to establish his wife's claim to
the Sharon fortune took on new en-
ergy.
In the meantime Judge Field had
been appointed to the United States
circuit court, and the woman's suit
was jumped into that tribunal at a
time when the supreme court of Cali
fornia had decided that there had
been secret marriage between Sarah
Althea Hill and Sharon. Justice Field
ordered the cancellation of the mar
| riage contract on the ground OF
forgery The woman in the case, in a
burst OF rage, rose in court and asked
the Judge how much he had been paid
