CHARITY in TIME OF PLENTY.

+ Associated Charities organizations
and the Salvation Army over the
state are preparing for the winter
with funds and clothing for the poor.
I'm this year of plenty there seems
something deplorable in the fact that
such advance steps to relieve the suf-
6ering and destitute are necessary,
but the unfortunate is ever with US.
To many it seems inexcusable that
there should be paupers in the midst
Of the bumper crops and overatures
for hearty contributions may, in
some instances, be met with scorn.
Society owes a duty to the needy,
no matter from what cause. It may
be Incidence, carelessness, wasteful-
ness, 1ntemperance, incompetency or
procrastination when opportunities
are at hand. Whatever may be the
reason there are always those not re-
sponsible for their condition, have
suffering forced upon them, and to
them society owes assistance. This
does not mean that the world owes
every man a living" without working
for it. He may be worthless, but
what of his wife and children depen-
dent upon him.
SO long as society takes no steps
to remove or prevent the cause Of
The weekly times-record., 1912-10-03

poverty, it is duty bound to give sue
cor to those unfortunates who can
not justly be held responsible for
their misfortune. Then, there are Of
ten mitigating circumstances, of
which society or even close neigh
bors, know nothing about that brings
the wolf to the door, or, perhaps a
spirit too proud to let family destitu-
tion be known. So charity has its
place, even in time of plenty, and in
time of plenty is a good time to give
to charity.

Mayor Sweet is of the opinion that
ed surplus among the taxpayers than
it is to build a market house with the
money or allow the banks to pay in
terest on the fund. His plan is to
give it to the taxpayers so they will
have something to pay interest with
on a bond issue to build a market
house. Neither the Commercial club
nor the citizens of Fargo quite under
stand the mayors method of finan-
ceering, but they will probably come
around to his view some day.

.MORk AND WOMEN

An the national Progressive plat
form are many planks that have So
ciaa and industrial justice as their
aims. Here is discussion OF the
Qarty's stand on Working Conditions
%of Women from the Chicago Tribune:
For working women the Progress
sSves propose to limit the hours of
work to eight per diem and to insti-
rtute q minimum wage.
Both Of these proposals are radical.
The Democratic platform hasn't a
word about either minimum wage or
~eieht hour day.
When women are overworked the
next generation is born tired. Work
ing women must be regarded not
merely as so many economic units,
but also as the mothers of the future.
1t is to protect maternal functions
that the eight hour restriction is pro-
posed.
The minimum wage is somewhat
more experimental. The Chicago vice
commission, composed OF persons of
varying creeds and experiences of
life, reported unanimously that the
underpayment of working girls was
the chief cause of prostitution. II
by statute law working girls can be
assured a living wage such a law
should be put on the statute books,
for it would prevent more human mis-
cry perhaps than any other hundred
laws put together.
We confess We do not know if such
- Law would work. We believe, how
ever, that the subject is worth the
most careful and earnest investigation
which wisdom can give it. This in
vestigation the Progressives have
pledged themselves to make.

Camden Hackman Shot.

Camden, Jan. 24.-Last night at
the Seaboard Air Line passenger sta
ton. at II O'Clock, John Hinson, Jr.,
shot Vanderbilt Hendricks, negro
hackman, with a shotgun, making a
wound that may cost the negro a
leg. The trouble arose, so it is said,
by Hendricks backing into John Hin
sons hack and cursing Hinson. Hin
son, who is only about 19 years old,
it is stated, secured shotgun and
shot Hendricks in the leg. He was
about twenty feet from him when he
fired. In the meantime, it is said
that John Hinson, Sr., the father OF
the boy, who was using the shotgun,
fired at Tom Hendricks several times
with a pistol. Tom Hendricks is a
brother to the wounded man, he is a
hackman. Hinson denies that he
did any shooting. Both Hendricks
and Hinson were arrested and all OF
them are out on 500 bonds. The
trial will come up at the recorder S
court on Monday morning.
The licenses of all four hackmen
have been revoked. Hinson runs sew
eral hacks and has number of times
gotten into trouble with other hack
men.

Greenwood Man Kills Himself.

Greenwood, Jan. 23.-M. F. San
ders, a prominent business man of
this place, committed suicide last
night about 1880 o'clock, by shooting
himself in the right temple with a
9S calibre pistol. That the act was
premeditated is evidenced by the
fact that he left in a note to j. B.
Haltiwanger instructions where to
find his body.
The note, which evidently was
written only short time before his
death, is as follows:
"Get Pat Blalock and some other
of our friends and come down to the
Seaboard. You will find me on the
lower side of fill below switch near
large drain pipe, that is under I'LL
below Taylor ring. You will see my
coat near the pipe, so don't say any
thing to many, as don't care for my
family to be alarmed until you see
me. M. F. SANDERS.
Mr.. Haltingwanger received the
note, which was sent by a. negro.
about $3.50 o'clock, and of course
hurried to the spot designated and
found the body in pool of water
and mud at the end of the passenger
station. Another note was found
pinned to his coat, as follows:
There is no foul play responsible
for this act. 1880 O'Clock.
M. F. SANDERS"
Mr.. Sanders had met with business
reverses lately and the probable
cause Of his act can be attributed to
this fact. For the past several years
Mr.. Sanders has been actively en-
gagged in the dry goods and millinery
business here and during this time
has made many firm friends. He was
so years old. Mr.. Sanders is survived
by his wife and three children.

WEIGHS 5S5 POUNDS.
w, T. Brinson Believed to be Largest
Man in the World.

Waycross, Ca, Jan. 18.-Waycross
continues to enjoy the distinction OF
being the home of the worlds largest
man, despite the reports to the con-
trary. When "Baby" Bliss died this
month in Bloomington, Ills, the
country generally was told that the
world had lost it's largest man, but
the largest man went to his work at
the usual hour, and so far as is
known, is enjoying better health
than he has for years. His name is
W. T. Brinson and Waycross is his
home.
By the figures given in the account
of Leonard Bliss's death, Mr.. Brin-
son, in average weight, topped Bliss
by As pounds, weighing 5S5 pounds,
and at times as high as 600. Bliss
is said to have weighed $40 pounds.
In addition to being the worlds
largest man, Mr.. Brinson is the
worlds largest Elk. He is mem
Der of the Waycross Lodge No. 369,
and has been for years. His initia-
ton is now a matter of history in
Elkdom.
Despite his large size, Mr.. Brinson
has no trouble in getting around. He
goes to his turpentine business, near
Waycross, almost every morning and
is an active man in business. He
laughs and jokes about his size and
always has a satisfied look. On one of
Gov. Joseph NJ. Browns visits to
Waycross he rode about the city with
Mr.. Brinson, and while on this trip
photographs that have been sent all
over the country were taken. Gov.
Brown stated at the time that he
was glad to have such abundant evil
dence of the health conditions of this
section.

GIRL SCHOOL TEACHER KILLED.
Shot by Husband of Woman She Ac'
cused of Slander.

Salem, Va, Jan. 24.-Miss Eva
Chambers, a young school teacher,
was shot and killed near her school,
at Lockett's store, in Roanoke coun-
ty, to-day by Joshua Raines. Later
he shot and wounded Charles Day,
one of his neighbors. Raines then
surrendered himself to the police
authorities here. The killing is said
to have been the result of suit for
slander against Mrs. Raincs, filed
several days ago by Miss Chambers.
The contention is substantiated by
a statement reported to have been
made tonight by Raines, to the effect
that he went to see Miss Chambers,
walked about a hundred yards with
her and tried to get her to dismiss
the suit, and when she refused he
shot her.
The SANDER suit was instituted af-
ter Mrs. Raines had attempted to
oust Miss Chambers as teacher. 1t
was then that Mrs. Raines is alleged
to have circulated reports rejecting
on Miss Chambers's character.
Raines was taken to Pulaski to-
night and lodged in Jail there. This
was a precautionary measure, the
Judge fearing a lynching.
Raines's only motive for attempt
ing to kill Chas. Day was because OF
the interest that Day had taken in
Miss Chambers. The grudge that
Raines held against the young wo-
man began when she left his home
as a boarder and took up her resi-
dence with Day and his wife,

Died Just Before His Trial.

Orangeburg, Jan. 26.-John D.
Hungerpiller, who has resided in
this city at intervals, died at his
home, on West Russell street, this
morning at 4:30 o'clock. He was
about 60 years of age.
Hungerpiller was under a charge
of arson, having been arrested sew
eral days ago and charged with burn
ing the residence of Mr.. Frank
Champey, in the Fork section of the
county, and the preliminary hearing
was to have been held this morning.
The coroner empanelled jury and
held an inquest over the body this
morning at IL o'clock. Mrs. Minnie
Hungerpiller, wife of John D. Hun
gerpiller, testified that the deceased
came home at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon in a very serious condition,
and he gradually grew worse, until
about $3.50 p. NJ, when she summon
ed help and DR.. D. D. Salley was call
ed in. By this time Hungerpiller
was unconscious, and remained in
this state up to the time of his death.
She said that in searching his cloth
ing in the belief that he had taken
poison of some kind and that some
may have remained on his person,
a letter, evidently intended for his
wife, was found, of which the follow
ing is a copy:
Orangeburg, S. c., Jan. %, 1912.
the time is come that I must say
goodby for life is no longer for me
mimic please due with the money as
I told you I don't Blame you I take
it to end the truble so I must close.
JOHN D. HUNKERPILLER.
1 take it myself I have dide inner
man to all I say don't think my wife
did this / take it myself to end the
truble.
JOHN D. HUNKERPILLER.
Drs. D. D. Sailey and D. J. Hydrick
testified that, after careful examin-
alton, they found none of the symp-
toms which would be caused by pois-
on, and that, in their opinion, death
was the result of hemorrhage of-the
brain.
After a short deliberation the jury
returned verdict to the effect that
the deceased came to his death from
natural causes unknown to the jury,
and that their had been no foul play
whatever. The theory upon which
the verdict is based is that Hunger
piller intended by what he said in
the letter to his wife, to commit sui
eide should he be bound over at the
preliminary hearing, which was to
have been held this morning, and
that constant worry over the situa-
tion brought on the attack which
caused his death.

MRS. SOLON JACOBS
 HOSTESS AT TEA

Mrs. Salon Jacobs introduced Miss Mary Johnston yesterday afternoon to few friends at tea. An informal event, 1t was one of the gracious incidents that take color and life from the vivacity and charm of the hostess. Miss Johnston was intro duced, on this occasion, to-. the members of the executive board of the Equal Suf- frage organization, in whose behalf she is in Birmingham this week, and to 6 few others who are giving their interest and cooperation to the general Woman Movement" in the various lines of pro- gress in this city.
 The most practical talk presented by Miss Johnston during her stay in Brmins- ham she gave informally to this little circle of % or more women gathered in Mrs. Jacobs living room. She was talking to women already convinced of the justice and worth of woman franchise, women who are familiar with the strong points of the subject. and so she went into a practical analysis of conditions as she has known them in Virginia, outlined the steps taken in progressing to the present point in the work in Richmond. She made many fine suggestions for carrying for ward the work in the young Birmingham organization. complimented the women or the local league in the splendid effort

ART IN STAINED GLASS
Wonderful Twelfth Century Windows
 in Chartres Cathedral
From Handieraft.

From Handieraft.
 In Chartres cathedral there are 175 stained glass windows. which are regard ed as being among the most wonderful in the world. most of them dating from the 12th century. Scarcely one of them dates from later than the 18th century, and the entire collection is considered the most complete gallery of the rich mo- saic glass of that period.
 This is the reckoning, 124 great win dows, three great roses. 35 lesser roses and 12 small ones. And in these are painted 3sS9 figures. including 32 con- temporary historical personages, a crowd of saints and prophets in Ss separate le- gends and groups of tradesmcn in the costumes of their guilds.
 Tho reds. like those at Reims, are ev- anywhere wonderful; the saffron also and the citron yellows. the brown and the emerald green; but most superbly beau tiful of them all are the blues. the lucid transparent azure of the l2th century lancets, and the deep sapphire, the blue of Poitiers, which fills the lower windows of the nave.
 The secret of it's manufacture is lost, but you can understand. when you be hold it, how easily that story was believed

they have put forth-in the results they have achieved. The most practical of the three addresses made by Miss Johnston, indeed, shorn of much of the beautiful metaphor and imagery which made she first two a veritable treat from literary standpoint even though they had not been bristling with powerful facts in behalf of the suffrage movement. It was an inn- promptu talk; earnest. simple, womanly, but marked by that charming dignity that exquisiteness of diction, and the keen wit, too-which everyone observed in the larger meetings. And, when Miss John- ston completed her entirely unexpected little story of the Richmond women's en- deavor, she gracefully requested that her hostess the president of the local organ ization, give her in return the story of the local endeavor for suffrage that she might take it back to her own organization. Mrs. Jacobs gave thls little history briefly, modestly chronicling the various little steps which the Equal Suffrage league has taken toward development and growth; spoke of the lecturers, of the au- diences that have greeted them all; of the methods that have been followed to in- crease public interest; of the help that has been given by individuals and by the local press; of the final unquestioned triumph that the movement has achieved in the meetings this week with Miss John ston ais the speaker, and out of which 1t is expected that the cause will have many converts.
 Later, over the teacups presided over by Mrs. John Turner, Jr., in Mrs. Jacobs charming dining room and about pretty tea table, Miss Johnston completed the thoroughly delightful impression which she has made in Birmingham,
