II only she could keep them with
her! Conversation dragged, but the
children looked pinched and hungry.
DO you like warm beans?" she
asked suddenly as they became I'M

Their expression was enough. Molly
dished beans lavishly, and spread big
slices Of bread and butter. Never had
she SO much enjoyed seeing anyone
eat!
But when they departed, Molly look

was the mems supper?

at last with happy thought. Il must

There was big bowl Of late roses
in the center Of the supper table. and
Dexter had to own to himself that he
liked the innovation.
He had to own too, that the girl In

her cheeks, make fascinating pic

MIR. Brady was In hurry to get
home. so he did not stop for supper"
he explained, helping himself gener-
ously to the tempting beans.
Molly, glancing at him, noted the
astonished look when he placed some
of the beans in his mouth. She hasti
ly tasted her own; in the tender lus-
ciousness, her teeth encountered one
two hard, 1unresisting objects.
The blood pulsed in her cheeks, and
she pressed her hands over her eyes,
breaking into nervous sobs.
Dexter rose quickly 1t was very
annoying to have a woman cry! Still

put his hand gently on her shoulder.

ical superiority. Then why did
he shoot Mr. Baker? Because he
made a practice of carrying, in
violation to the laws of his State,
a concealed weapon-a death deal
ing instrument that in an in
slant, in a fit of anger, was to
be the means by which he was
to betray the respect of his friends
and jeopardize his freedom, and
probably his life. The position
of Hudson in this lamentable
affair furnishes a warming lesson
to the young men of Kingstree
and of Williamsburg county, and
there are many, who are in the
habit of carrying a pistol. 1t is
a most dangerous practice. 1t IS
a violation of the law, and it is
a mark of cowardice.
In less than ten minutes after
Hudson had used his pistol on Mr.
Baker he would gladly have given
anything in his possession had he
not done so. Too late then. The
safest and surest way to avoid get
ting into such difficulties is never
to carry concealed deadly weapon
and we hope this affair will be a
profitable lesson to such as are in
clined to the habit of toting" a
gun in their hip pockets.
Hudson was taken to the State
prison on Saturday afternoon Of
last week.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
Candidates Waxing Warm as
Time Goes On.

The State political meetings are
gradually working down the list as
published prior to the opening of
of the campaign of vituperous
ratings.
Thursday the meeting was held at
Darlington, where Judge Jones was
not permitted to speak on account
of the ill behavior of tho Bleaseites.
The meeting came near terminating
in riot.
Friday the whole retinue swoop-
ed down upon the quiet little town
of Bennettsville where good per-
centage of the Marlboro people
listened to the various candidates
make their little spiel. No blood
shed.
Saturday the meeting was held at
Chesterfield and hot speeches were
made by Blease and Jones. as well
as the other candidates, interest,
however, being chiefly centered in
the remarks of BIease and Jones.
The latter made a powerful and
telling speech, but not without sew
eral interruptions by the Cover
nor (?), who was promptly called
down by the County Chairman,M j
Hough.
After taking a rest from Satur-
day till Tuesday the candidates took
fresh and vigorous start in the
city of Florence, and from all
reports blood was at fever heat and
personal combat between the gu
bernatorial candidates was narrow
ly averted. Outside of those by
Jones and Blease the speeches were
rather tame.
The candidates held forth at Dillon
yesterday and judging from the
news dispatches it was a gala day
for Judge Jones, who made ring
ing speech that was we'll received
by large audience. At this meet
ing Jones' arraignment of Blease
and his campaign methods were
severe.
The meeting is being held at
Marion today.

An Evil of the Pistol.

The shooting affair tnat occur
red here on Monday afternoon
of March II in the office of the
livery stable of Hudson q Baker,
wherein J C Hudson in a tenn
porary fit of passion shot Mr. W
P Baker, reached a fnis in the
court of General Sessions here
Thursday afternoon when Judge
John S Wilson imposed a SEN
tence of five, years at hard labor in
the State penitentiary upon the
defendant Hudson.
The affair was a shock to the
community, especially to those
WHO were we'll acquainted with
both men and the facts as to
the cause of the assault at the
time it happened.
For days Mr. Bakers life was
despaired of. Even after he had
been taken to a hospital at Char
lesion and the ball extracted his
life hung only by thread at
times, and it was feared that
Hudson's rash act would result
in murder. The good people of
Kingstree expressed a deep SYM
pathy for both injured and in
iurer, but that sympathy was tenn
pered with desire for justice.
At the time of the shooting
Mr. Bakers entire family lay sick
with the measles, and his wounded,
helpless body could not be taken
home, but remained all night and
most of the next day in the
dingy stable office where he had
been stricken down. In the
minds of the people this fact
added horror to the already de-
plorable affair on the one hand.
On the other, Mr. Hudson, a

Now, Mr. Hudson had known
