MEETS DEATH IN HAZING.
Governor of State Has Called on Pres
ident of University to Investigate.

Raleigh, n. c., Sept. Ex-Governor
Kitchin tonight called upon Presl-
dent Venable of the State university
to make complete Investigation of the
death to-day of Isaac William Rand,
a freshman, as the alleged result OF
hazing by four sophomores.
The coroner's inquest at Chapel
Hill this afternoon resulted in hold
ing A. R. Styron, of Wilmington;
w. C. Merrimon, of Wilmington; A.
C. Hatch, of Mount Olive, and R. w.
Oldham, of Raleigh. All are sopho-
mores and are held in default Of
$4,000 bond each.
The evidence brought out was that
Rand was forced by the sophomores
to sing and dace o ma barrel and
that while performing the part he
was either thrown by the barrel be-
ing kicked from under him or ne
fell. A piece of broken glass pierced
his neck, severing the jugular vein
and carotid artery. Two freshmen
fed, but two others and Rand's room
mate, also the victim of the prank,
remained and called for help. Rand
died in ten minutes.
President Venable had the four
BOYS arrested and an inquest was held
this afternoon. Gen. Julian S. Carr,
Millionaire of Durham, announced to-
night that he would raise the bonds
and allow the boys to return to their
parents.

MORE FRAUD IN ANDERSON.
Negro's Name Appears on Polling
List Twice.

Anderson, Sept. 14.-The sub-com-
mittee of the county executive COM
mittee which is inquiring into the
charges of fraud in the, recent elec-
tion had another session to-day.
Nothing of much Importance came to
the surface, except that the name of
L. S. Stamps appears on the Orr mill
polling list and also on the Ward 4
polling list.
The committee spent most of its
time in rearranging the polling lists
and club rolls in list of alphabetical
order, which is a considerable job,
as there are SO boxes in the county.
The committee will hold frequent
meetings to receive testimony and
aff1davits and to check the rolls. Also
corps of clerks will remain on the
job in the work mapped out by the
members of the subcommittee.
The fact that the name of G. w.
Wright, a negro, appears on tie Con-
crete precinct polling list twice, has
caused more comment and interest
than any other alleged irregularity
that has yet been brought out.

SEQUEL TO MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY.
Man Who Slew His Brother-in-Law
Arrested.

Nashville, Sept. IA story
redolent with the flavor of the noun
tains is contained in a special from
EliZabethton, Tenn, recording the
Identification of a man in the Sulli-
van county jail as John Triplett, al
legged to have killed his brother-in-
law, John Potter, near the North
Carolina line six years ago and said
to have escaped. At the time BROTH
er, Will Triplett, was arrested, but
acquitted.
The Elizabethton story alleges that
the feeling of the Triplett boys
against Potter went back to Potter's
courting days, when they were chill
dren. Potter and his sweetheart would
sit up late and consume the firewood
prepared by the boys for morning.
When this occurred the father vigor-
ously corrected the boys. Finally one
night the suitor arose to replenish the
fire and the youngsters protested, a
fight resulted in which the boys were
worsted. 1t is alleged that they never
forgave Potter, though he married
their sister.

Oldest Paper to Suspend.

1t is reported from China that the
oldest newspaper in the world, the
Pekin Gazette, is about to suspend
publication. The first number ap-
peared in GIL A. D. and since 1851,
more than a century before the dis
covery of America, it has appeared
regularly.
The Pekin Gazette has published
daily budget of the imperial court
news and has been a repository Of
edicts from the throne, memorials
from Provincial Governors and re-
ports from Chinese officials 1t would
be wrong to infer that it's contents
were always dry. Frequently the
Gazette has contained news of great
interest to the world and information
illuminating one phase or another of
Chinese character or the government
al regime.
The files of the venerable paper
are among the curiosities of typog-
raphy. During a part of the eight
eenth century it was printed in the
imperial palace from movable copper
type and in the last eighty years
from movable type carved out of
wood.
The Chinese government will now
supplant the publication by the Gov
ernment Gazette, which will be much
larger and conducted along more
modern lines. It will be the official
government organ. The disappear
ance of the Pekin Gazette is one of
the signs of the times illustrating the
mighty changes that are coming to
pass in China.-The Fourth Estate.

She Was Not So Stout.

A Chicago man in London was in

course, as everybody does in London.
The accent was puzzling to his Chi

He danced waltz with the wife of
his host. The lady spoke with an
especially broad accent, and she ran
somewhat to flesh. When they had
finished the round of the floor she

JOHNSON TELLS QUEER TALE.
Negro Pugilist Says Fight with JEFF
fries Made Him a Nervous Wreck.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Etta Duryea
Johnson, the white wife of Jack
Johnson, champion heavyweight pu-
gilist, died suicide after wrecking
her health in caring for the cham
pion, who was victim of nervous
prostration and had been afflicted
with suicidal mania for year on ac-
count of injuries and exertion dur
ing his fight with Jeffries. This was
the testimony of Johnson at the in
quest here to-day over the body Of
the woman who shot herself last
night in her rooms over the champi-
on's saloon.
81 am still suffering from the ef-
fects of that fight to some extent, -
he said.
Johnson gave his testimony in
tears. He declared that his wife's
efforts to keep him from committing
suicide were what broke down her
own healtn. he SAID:
Il believe that I incurred brain
fever or some similar arrangement
from the exertions of the Jeffries
fight and the heat that prevailed ct
the time 1 was not myself for a
year. My wife saved me twice when
I tried to choke myself to death. She
seized me and struggled with me
and prevented the act. She had an
awful time taking care Of me for
over a year. l am only telling this
now in justice to my wife. 1t never
has been told BEFORE
Testifying as to his wife's suicidal
mania, Johnson said:
During the last two years she Of
ten told me she was tired of living.
She tried twice to kill herself. Once
she attempted to jump out of win
dow in a London hotel, and before
that she tried to take her life by
leaping from a train out West
Il did everything 1 could to make
her happy and spent money on her
lavishly, but most of the time she
seemed despondent. Her father died
-four months ago and since then she
seemed more nervous and despond-
ent than before
