grange, Ca, was shot and instantly
killed here tonight by Uriah L.

the police. He made statement
charging that Harris had wrecked his
family and declaring that he was
happy in getting revenge.
Starnes had spent the day in Dal-
ton, Ca, where he had purchased a
revolver with which to shoot Harris.
On returning to town tonight he
went to the hotel where the latter

Homesick Man Seeks Death.

Greensboro, N. c., Dec. 29.-Wil-
liam Rodenkirchen, foreigner, reg
istering at a local hotel as "Roden-
kirchen, Adrian, Siberia" was dis
covered by a hotel clerk this morn
ing groaning and vigorously jabbing
his throat with a penknife. When
disarmed it was discovered that Rod
enkirchen had slashed each wrist
thrice, stabbed himself just above the
heart and had dug large hole in
his neck. Rodenkirchen left a note
saying that he was all alone in a
strange land and homesick. On an
other card, evidently scratched in the
mans own blood, were these words:
''This is me death. 1t is finished. y
A memorandum showed that Rod
enkirchen had $500 on deposit in a
savings bank in Barre, Vermont. He
willed $50 to the poor. There is a
chance for the man to live.

About Posting Lands.

An impression seems to prevail to
some extent that if landlord has
not "posted' his land, or advertised
it in some way, one can hunt on it
with impunity. Not so. 1t used to
be that one was not trespasser in
going upon another's lands unless the
land had been advertised; but some
years ago the legislature made it a
trespass to go upon the lands of any
person without his permission. Land
owners, we are sure, understand this.
The reason some of them advertise
their lands against trespassers is that
they do not wish to deal harshly with
trespassers, and they hope that a no
tice of this kind will obviate the ne
cessity. There are so many kinds OF
hunters that many farmers suffer,
not only annoyance, but loss from
trespassers, who roam over the coun-
try in the daytime with dog and
gun and at night with dog and
torch, till forbearance ceases to be
virtue. 1t is as little as any man
can do, if he wishes to do right, to
get permission of landowner be-
fore hunting on his land.--Newber-
ry Observer.

Hon. J. Emile Harley. A Mr.. Miley,
member of the house of representa-
tives from Bamberg county, We un-

NIishap Upon Mishap.

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. 27.-Dr
Carl A. Hickman and Miss Bette
Durrett were married last night af-
ter the ceremony had been interrupt
ed by a remarkable succession of
events.
The doctor only recently was en-
gagged to his brides twin sister Lii
lie. Miss Lille, almost prostrated,
went to see the wedding. The church
was filled.
The Rev. E. NJ. Waite was reading
the service when DR.. w. A. McKen-
zie, the best man, tainted and knock
ed over several large palms. Mr..
Waite stopped to raise DR.. McKen-
zie to his feet. Others dashed water
into his face. There was a near
panic in the church and the father of
the bride, in an effort to straighten
out the confusion, stood on front
pew and started a speech. Hardly
had he begun when the lights were
turned out and women screamed.
The two sisters became hysterical
and it was some time before they
could be calmed. And as a fitting
climax, Miss Lille Durrett gave away
her sister to the man to whom she
formerly was engaged.

Senator Bates for Judgeship.

Senator George H. Bates, of Barn
we'll, who has represented that coun-
ty in the higher branch of the gen
eral assembly for twelve years with
distinction and ability, urged by
Spartanburg friends to become a
candidate for judge of the second
circuit succeeding the late lament
ed Judge Robert Aldrich, has con-
sented to the presentation of his
name to the legislature.
Senator Bates is member of the
State senate who has always stood
for those things that mean progress,
development and higher ideals. He
is a man of sterling character and a
lawyer of talents and wide expert
ence at the bar, being the senior
member of the firm of Bates and
Simms, who have large practice in
their section of the State.
Should the legislature see fit to
honor Senator Bates the bench OF
South Carolina would not suffer. The
Spartanburg delegation will find
that as a member of the senate Sena-
tor Bates's record commends him to
their support. There are few men
of a higher type among those who
may be elevated to the bench by the
legislature at it's approaching ses-
sion.-Spartanbu Herald.

Murdered His Wife.

Raleigh, N. c., Dec. 3O.-"The
Jury, court and governor of North
Carolina will be accountable to God
for my murder"
With this expression on his lips,
L. NJ. Sandlin, of Wilmington, con-
victed of wife murder, paid the death
penalty in the chair. He was the
second white man to be electrocuted
in the State.
Preparatory for the death Sandlin
was baptized last June. Sandlin went
to the home of his wife, whom he
had abandoned and pleaded with her
to live with him again. When she
refused he shot her three times. Eff
forts to prove him insane failed.

PISTOL GOES OFF; BABY DEAD.
Unfortunate and Deplorable Acct

Unfortunate and Deplorable Accl-
dent in Florence County Home.
Florence, Dec. 2S.-The little ba-
by boy of Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford
Hutchinson, of the Efingham Sec
ton, was brought here Tuesday night
and taken to local infirmary for
treatment for a gunshot wound, the
result of an accident at it's home
Tuesday afternoon. The little fellow
died yesterday from it's injuries and
it's body was carried back to Effing-
ham for burial.
1t is stated that a young gentle
man visitor at the Hutchinson home
was handling a pistol in the house.
Nearby sat the mother holding the
child, when suddenly the pistol fired
and it was found that the child had
been shot in the head. The bullet
entered the side of the head and ran
around the scalp, lodging itself near
or on the brain. The parents rush
ed the child here with hope of saw
ing it's life but without avail.
Coroner Cooper held an inquest
and the verdict was to the effect that
the child came to it's death by gun
shot wound in the hands of the young
man above alluded to-all of which
was of an accidental nature.
The young man deeply deplores
the unfortunte affair.

A LAND WITHOUT A WOMAN.
Ten Thousand Men Comprise the Re
public of Mt. Athos.

There is womanless republic on
a peninsula south of Macedonia, in
Greece, where 10000 men live,
studying and praying constantly, and
where policemen guard the course to
keep out women pilgrims and other
persons who would make undesirable
guests. Prof. Casper Rene Gregory,
theologian of the University of Leip-
zig, student of Biblical manuscripts,
who located at Kansas City recently
at the Fine Arts institute, told of
this most unique of all countries.
"The place is Mt Athos, classic
peninsula of Alike, the eastermost of
three little peninsulas below Mace
donia," Prof Gregory explained. ut
is called Mount of the Twenty Mon
asteries, and was used in ancient
times as a signalling station to Asia
Minor. It is a real republic. There
are 10000 monks there, who govern
without interference from Turkey
or any other country. There are,
however, no government buildings,
no president or other officeholders.
''The only police force is composed
of men who patrol the coast to keep
out women and men who have no
permit to enter this most exclusive of
countries. Only those who have a
letter of permission from the Greek
patriarch in Constantinople are ever
allowed to enter the holy place. The
holder of the letter must present it
in Karges, the village capital of the
peninsula.
''Some reports have it," Prof.
Gregory said, that this republic
was formed in the ninth century. 1t
is said that the Pot of a woman has
not touched the soil of the place for
centuries. All the monks represent
the Greek Catholic church. They
work the soil some, but live chiefly
upon contributions from pilgrims.
Probably the greatest collection of
Biblical manuscripts is in the monas-
teries of this republic.
''It is the. most interesting place
in the world for the student of the
Bible" the doctor said: 81 have been
there three times and I will never
tire of going. There are in the mon
asteries thousands of Greek manu-
scripts, and hundreds of them are
connected with the New Testament.
Hundreds of students have studied
many of these manuscripts carefully,
but there are other manuscripts that
have not yet been read carefully. 1t
may be that great discoveries, valu-
able to the Bible scientists, will
emanate yet from this great store
house of manuscripts. kansas City

Judge Smith was born in Fond

spent in the schools OF that city.
When he started in life for himself
he became a railway store room

as telegrapher that ne took up
the study Of law. He was admitted
to the bar in Wisconsin in 1855.
