PECULIAR DEATH OF BABY.
Choked to Death by Nipple from
Nursing Bottle.

Greenville, Jan. 1.-THE 2
months-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. L.
Pruitt, of this city, met death in a
most unusual manner early this af-
ternoon, when the nipple of a milk
bottle, from which it was feeding
slipped so far down its throat as to
choke it. 1t seems that the child was
placed in it's crib by it's mother and
the nursing bottle inclined on the
pillow by it's head. The nipple was
placed in the baby's mouth, and IN
this manner the mother left it for
a short while. Returning, she dis
covered her baby dead, the nipple OF
the bottle having slipped far down
it's tiny throat.

EUGENE b. GARY CHIEF JUSTICE.
No Opposition to Senior Member of
Supreme Court.

Columbia. Jan. 10.-The Hon.
Eugene B. Gary, of Abbeville county,
who for practically twenty years has
been an honored member of the Su-
preme Court, was unanimously ele-
waited to the position of Chief Justice.
made vacant by the resignation of
Chief Justice Ira B. Jones. There
had been talk of other nominations
and mention had been made of the
elevation of other members Of the
Supreme Court bench, but seniority
and good service outweighed and AS
sociate Justice Eugene B. Gary is
to-day Chief Justice of this State by
the unanimous vote of the members
of the general assembly, when Sena-
tor Mars nominated the Hon. Eugene
B. Gary one second followed another.
No other nomination came. Delega-
ton after delegation seconded the
nomination, and when all had COM
mended the new Chief Justice the
roll was called and 153 members and
senators announced their vote for
Eugene B. Gary.
Mr.. Gary's service to the State and
court are we'll known and it was a
graceful compliment that all his as
sociates on the Supreme Court Bench,
whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the position, should
have stepped aside to do their senior
member, in service, this honor.
Judge Watts, the newly elected as
sociate justice, took the oath of Of
flee this morning.
Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary will
take the oath of office at once, there
by making a vacancy on the Supreme
Court Bench. This place will prob
ably be voted for tomorrow.
Justice Watts Sworn In.
Judge R. C. Watts, who was last
night chosen to the position of fourth
associate justice on the Supreme
Court Bench, handed in his resigna-
ton as judge of the 4th circuit this
morning and was sworn in as men,
Der of the Supreme Court. Chief
Justice Gary administered the oath,
and Gov. Blease, who was present in
the Supreme Court room during the
ceremony, Immediately signed JUS
tice Watts's commission, Justice
Watts asking for the pen with which
the governor signed his commission,
and it was given him. Judge Watts
was presiding over the Richland
court, and his elevation to the su-
preme bench necessitated adjourn
ment of the court until Friday. 1t is
thought that this may result in a
postponement of the trial of the "la-
BEL case.

Fire Loss Heavy.

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 14.-Flre
which ragged for several hours early
this morning resulted in an estimated
loss of between s250,o00 and $780,
900 to Cable Piano Company and
Southern Bell Telephone buildings
on Second avenue, and indirectly
was responsible for the death of one
man. The Bell Telephone service in
this city is demoralized.
The fire originated in the Cable
Piano Company building and after
having been gotten apparently under
control burst forth anew, leaping tc
the adjoining building of the tele-
phone company.
George Adams, while rushing
across the street toward the fire
was struck by an automobile and al

PARCEL POST ON r. F. ID.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener
al Urges Prompt Establishment.

Washington, Jan. 14.--The estab-
lishment of parcels post delivery
along rural mail routes should not
be delayed any longer, in the opin-
ion of P. V. Degraw, fourth assist
ant postmaster general, as expressed
in his annual report submitted to-
day to Postmaster General Hitch
cock.
Every consideration of practical
bility, business expediency and good
administration, he says, "favors the
plan as being a probable source of
large revenue and great public ac-
commodation.'
Mr.. Degraw bases his recommen-
dation for a parcels post on the
ground that the expenditure for ru-
raj delivery is increasing much more
rapidly than the receipts, and the
parcels post, he says, would provide
much additional revenue. During
the past year the rural mail receipts
were s7,75O,OOO while the expenses
were s37,13O.000. For the present
year there has been expended S42,-
700, 900, while it is not expected that
there will be any appreciable in
crease in receipts. This loss will be-
come greater each year, he says, un-
less a parcels post is established to
help.
There are at present more than L.
100000 miles of rural mail routes
and the average mileage per day for
each carrier is 24.19 miles. During
the past year ST routes were added,
making the present total 41,656.
More than 100000 letters and
parcels were received at the dead
letter office during the year, the
daily receipts averaging 44,5OO, an
increase over the previous year Of
per cent.

CONSCIOUS DURING OPERATION.
Was Oh Operating Table for Forty
Five Minutes.

Saginaw, Mich, Jan. S-When it
comes to presenting medals for hav-
ing a super-abundance of nerve Fer
dinand Heyman, % years old, of Sag
inaw, ought to come in for his share
and then some.
Mr.. Heyman submitted to an op-
ration at st. Mary's hospital. when
three quarts of fluid were removed
from his right lung and two and
half inches of the fifth rib broken
off to permit DR.. Karl Kanzier to
make a more complete job.
And this was done without the use
of an anaesthetic. The patient was
on the operating table for As minutes
and although begged by the physici-
an, sisters and nurses to take some
anaesthetic, he refused and he stuck
it through. He never lost conscious
ness.
For some months Mr. Heyman has
been troubled with his lungs and it
wes believed for time he was suf-
fering with tuberculosis; in fact,
many of his friends gave him but
short time to live. One lung, the
right, gave him much trouble and he
was bothered with cough.
After consulting a physician he de-
cided to submit to an operation, as
it was thought his ailment was only
an aftermath of congestion. Believ-
ing that the fluid could be removed,
Mr.. Hyman went to the hospital, but
with the determination that under no
circumstances would he take chloro-
form. Several months ago he had
slight operation and as is customary
under those condit :ons took an an
aesthetic For days afterward he was
deadly sick as result, and during
the operation it was thought he
would never recover, as his heart was
so weak.
This time he knew of his heart
trouble and realized that his chances
of coming out from under the influ-
ence of an anaesthetic were very
slim, hence his refusal to take any.
While in bed at the hospital the in
cision was made in his right side and
some of the fluid drawn off with a
suction pump. A complete operation
could not be made, so it was decided
that part of rib must be removed
to give the doctor better access to
the lung. Mr.. Heyman was taken
into the operating room where he was
conscious of everything that was
transpiring.
The first step was to break the
fifth rib. A mallet was used. AS
the physician thumped to break the
bone, some of the nurses and other
attendants pleaded with the patient
to take an anaesthetic, but Mr.. Hey
man refused, saying he would stand
the torture rather than be sick for
days afterwards and take a big
chance of never recovering from it's
effects.
After three-quarters of an hour he
was taken back to his room, and
since then has not suffered from a
cough. 1t is believed that he will
fully recover and will regain his for
mer vigor.

BLEASE ON THE PRESS.
Denounces Editors to Legislature as
Lot of Dirty Liars.

Columbia, Jan. 10.-ln a special
message to the general assembly to-
day accompanying his veto of bill
passed at the last session Of the legis-
lature permitting newspapers in case
of libel suits to plead in mitigation
of damages the fact that correction
of the libel complained of had been
made, Gov. Blease bitterly assailed
the press of South Carolina, and was
especially ferocious in his assaults
upon the Columbia State and its edl-
tor, although he branded the whole
tribe of newspaper men in this State
as dirty set of liars.
The message with exhibits attach
ed covers fifteen typwritten pages.
The word "lie" appear some 80
times, liar times, and intermix-
ed at frequent intervals are such
choice epithets as 'falsehood'" wi
tuperation," Islander" "scurrilous
attacks" dirty" ''cowardly," "as-
sassin-like,'' slime Infamous, !"
-'blackguard," ''low-down," ''unscru-
pulous," malicious and contempt
ible.''
The governor recites long list of
stories which he says have been
printed about him in one newspaper
or another during the last year, such,
for example, as the Winthrop College
matter, the incident of the alleged
insult to young lady at Bolton, as
to being drunk and stopping at a
blind tiger" on the way to his in
auguration, the Langdon Cheves
story, the alleged Gaming of negro
in Cleveland, the liquor constable
who was accused of selling liquor,
and particular the matter of the
Cromer story published by the Co
lumbia State on the eve of the second
primary in the campaign of 1910.
All of these he pronounces dirty
lies
There are many other Infamous
and dirty lies that could call your
attention to-" says the message, but
these, I feel, are sufficient to show
you that these dirty editors, assassin
like, strike their victim in the dark
and from behind, and then, when
seen on the streets, dodge, to keep
from meeting the man whom they
have lied about; and, of course, he
who is thus insulted, cannot go into
the Office and shoot the dirty editor,
for your courts hold that no words
will justify blow; and here you
wish to allow man to publish lie
and have seven days in which to cool
off and apologize for it, after all the
injury has been done and when they
cannot require or have all parties
who read the lie, to read the apology;
hence, the injury is done and can
not be remedied by apology; yet, if
a man shoots another in sudden heat
and passion, after reading one of the
dirty ISLANDERS, your beloved and
highly learned courts say that it is
'manslaughter,' or possibly, as no
words justify blow, it is murder. y
The shooting Of Mr.. N. G. Con-
<zales by Lieutenant Gov. Tillman is
referred to-, although no names are
called, and the governor paints pic
4ure of the prisoner, following ver-
dict of not guilty, leaving the court
house with the endorsement of the
law of his State as having done we'll
for himself, his family and his fel-
low citizens"

 misunderstanding with R. G. Burrel

 fine was given MT. Ekels. in consider
 ation of it's being his first Offense and there was no evidence that he intended to entirely paralyze his Op- pOnent The trouble grew out of stock running al large for which there s no law outside of incorporated i cities nd towns.

A SEARCH WITHOUT RESULTS

Arthur Woolf and Chet Cummins returned Sunday night from a five days bushes trip in the southern part of the state.

Three men were sent out in search of the missing, the following morning the two aforementioned going by horse back and the ther Juan Lopez by rail. Lopez covered all the ground between here and the Mexican line but was un- able to find any trace of the men and gave it up Friday. The other two though received descriptions at num- erOus points along the route Going as far as Maricopa on horseback they took the train for Gila Bend. The next day they returned to Maricopa, rode to Casa Grande and boarded the train for Tucson. That night was spent there and the next morning they again returned in this direction.

TEMPE
VALLEY BALL TEAM
 LOSES TUCSON GAMES
But Came Near Bringing Home One
 Game of the Two.

A picked nine of men having played with local valley teams during the past
 ball season returned yesterday morn ing from a two days visit in Tucson. Those composing the team were: Jos. Morris, Earnest Williams and Rolly Pomeroy of Mesa, Andrew Scott, Lewie
 Scott and Zones of Phoenix, John Spikes, Albert Spikes, Horace Griffen and Joe Easaw of Tempe. Frank Baum manager of the local team during the past few months acted as manager in company with Nick Osborn of Phoe- nix.
 The first game played Saturday af- ternoon with the well known Brannen team of TSucOn resulted in a victory for the latter nine by a score of seven
 to two. Williams and Morris held
 down the battery boxes during the en- tire game The hard hitting Bran
 mems though, three or four of whom are league ball players, were too much
 for the valley boys. Clean hitting on their part won the game. The oppos- ing pitcher of the local boys seemed to be exceedingly easy but at the same time they were unable to connect up for more than a half dozen hits The Sunday game rather surprised a large portion of the many fans ow- ing to the tightening up of the valley ] boys It looked as though three or | four times that they would come home with at least one victory to their creHit 1 but each time their hopes were badly ! shattered by bad play a mistake be- | tween base runners and batters, or | some other equally as bad a cause. 1 The final score was nine to ten in | favor of Tucson but that one winning l tally was made in the last half of the ninth inning with two men out. Spikes pitched for the locals while other | players retained their respective posi- | tions It is the opinion of some that
 even as the results were. they might have been different had there been a l change in umpires at the start of the
 game. Although both sides were kick l ing it seemed that the locals received | the worst of the deal from start to l finish.
 Arrangements for portion of the team combined with others of the val | ley to return to the Old Pueblo city
 two weeks from last Sunday, were | made before the departure taken Sun day night. Whether the plans will be 1 carried out or not remains to be seen,
 but should they, there is a good chance
 with little practice before time, for the valley boys to return with victory
 to their credit.

HARD LINES IN KANSAS

J. A SiZemore arrived in Mesa yes terdav from Columbus Cherokee coun- ty, Kansas, and will probably secure a tract of land in this valley. He has an uncle who is already a property owner here, J. H. SiZemOre and the nephew is looking for a location to suit him. MT Sizemore says that in the section of Kansas including much of the southeastern portion, the crops are practically a failure. Everything is burned up by the heat and drought. At Great Bend and west of there an epidemic of some kind has broken out among the horses and many thousands of them have died. Veterinaries from all over the country have been on the ground. studying the disease, but so far as Mr SZemOre could learn none of them had discovered what the disease really was, and knew of no remedy. The horses sickened and died within a very few hours, and nothing that the doctors could do seemed to af- ford any relief Some thought it was poisoned grasses, because of the quick action, but that appeared inn possible for the reason that the epi- demic was travelling eastward at the rate of about fifteen miles per day.

The road turns south 113 miles east of town, thence to Gilbert and on to Higley The road is already in good shape except for one bridge across the canal and about a mile of brush that needs to be cut from a portion of the roadway. The entire road passes through a very fertile and thickly settled agricultural portion of he valley.
