AN OLD FEUD
PROBABLE CAUSE
RaWls Now in Aiken Jail.
Very Little Hope for
Hoover's Recovery.

On Saturday night about lo
o'clock, a serious shooting affair oc-
Cured about three miles from Horses
Bridge, on the North Edisto river,
which may cause the death of w. H.
Hoover, young white man. He was
shot by NJ. L. Rawls.
This is very near the scene where
the outlaw Jeffcoat killed Deputy
Aull some years ago.
Sheriff Howard in company with
Rural Policeman Holley was notified
of the shooting on Sunday and left
for the scene. They met Rawls in
the road going toward Wagner, and
arrested him, and brought him to
Aiken.
Rawls was seen yesterday by rep
resentative of this paper, and gives
the following account of the shoot
ing. He said that there had been
trouble between him and Hoover, dat
ing back to August, 1911, when
Hoover ran away with his wife, and
took her to Florida, where they lived,
for several months. Rawls says that
Hoover married his wife in Florida.
Hoover returned to this county the
last part of 1911, and later the Wo-
man returned. RaWls and his wife
remained separated, but at times she
would be seen with Hoover.
The shooting happened at the
home of Mr.. ]. G. Hoover, and &C
cording to Rawls, they met there by
chance. Rawls went there to see Mr..
Albert Hartley, but found Hoover and
another man sitting on the front
steps. AS Rawls approached, Hoover,
who was sitting near his gun drew it
On Rawls, and Rawls believing ne
was about to be shot, fired first. He
used a shotgun, loaded with No. 8
shot, but was so close to Hoover that

left arm, and the next shot took effect
in Hoover's shoulder.
Hoover's friend claim that he was
deliberately shot, and had no gun at
the time. When the reporter asked
Rawls why he carried gun when he
went to meet Mr.. Hartley, said that
he always carried gun everywhere
he went, as he had been assaulted
twice recently by other men, and the
gun was his protection.
A doctor had to amputate the
stump of Mr.. Hoover's arm, and it is
stated that the wounded man cannot
recover.
Hoover is unmarried, as far as is
known here.-Aiken Journal and Re-
view.

Columbia, May 19.-That certain
citizens of Chester have asked the
Attorney General to bring proceed
ings to recover for the State some
$4,000 from Jos. B. Wylie, of Ches-
ter, which the latter admitted on the
stand in the graft trials that he OBJ
tanned as rebates from the purchase

Confederate general, had a hearing
before the Senate postofice commit

circumstances leading to her dis
placement as postmaster at Gaines
Vile, Ga. Mrs. Longstreet did not

Mrs. Longstreet declared that she
was the victim of the Georgia Rail-

said had pursued her because she
urged legislation Ito curtail its fav-
ors."
She presented a long list of en-

community who knew her were more
competent to judge her than the
Postmaster General.

WOMAN FIFTY YEARS A MAN.
She Fought in Northern Army and
Until Recently Kept Her Secret.

Until Recently Kept Her Secret
To go masquerading as a man for
over so years without detection is the
record of a woman inmate of the Sol
diers and Sailors home in this city,
who enrolled under the name of Al
bert D. J. Cashier. The woman adopt
ed the garb of man before the Civil
war, in which she fought for three
years. and has worn the clothes and
taken the part of man since. Only
twice has her secret become known
and it was not until today that it was
made public.
The woman has been in the soldiers
home almost two years and has al
ways been extremely companlonaDle
with the other members. She has be-
come enfeebled mentally and her
secret became knownto the author
tiles at the home a few months ago
when two male attendants attempted
to give her a bath. She appealed to a
female nurse and told her story. Since
that time her secret has been known
to only a few of the home attaches
but so far the authorities have been
unable to learn her real Identity
which she refuses to disclose.
The first time her secret became
known was two years ago, when she
was run over by an automobile owned
bv former Senator J. NJ. Lish in Llv-
ingston county. Her leg was broken
then, but Mr.. Lish, by whom sne was
employed as chauffeur, never betray-
ed her long guarded identity. The "o-
man soldier is a native of Ireland, and
says that she came to this country
shortly before the Civil war broke
out. She donned boys clothing and
obtained passage across the Atlantic
as stowaway.
When the struggle between the
North and South broke out she en-
listed in Company G, Ninety
fifth Illinois infantry, in the
war. When her company was
mustered out the records show there
we're only 80 survivors. From sur
viving members of the company, Col.
J. O. Anderson, superintendent of the
soldiers home, has learned that she
was a fearless and faithful soldier.

Luck at Cards.

New York, May 19.-Miss Teresa
Haley, of San Francisco, arrived on
the Kaiser Wilhelm De Crosse with
a bank roll of more than $4,000.
She took it away from the "sn1ar-
ties over in Europe, who think
they know how to play games.
81 have the true western instinct
for games of chance" said Miss
Haley. 81 have gambled for ten
years, and 1 can count on the -fing-
ers of one hand the bets I have
lost. I've always had the gambling
spirit, and I've always been lucky"
Miss Haley said she went over
especially to take crack at Monte
Carlo. She did to the tune of sew
eral thousand. Then she made the
rounds of the best known European
gambling places, and cleaned up in
each.
On the trip Miss Haley played
poker six hours a day, and took in
about $1,000. She won four pools
on the ships run in succession. The
men tried to beat her, but they
couldn't think up new games fast
enough.

Miss Haley played and won every
pitch. The men gave up after that.
Il just about tripled my expenses, y
said Miss Haley. "Maybe I'll go back

HELD FOR HIS CHHD'S DEATH.
James Huey May Have to Face
Charge of Murder.

Chester, May 1S.-The jury OF IN
quest over the remains of Anna Huey,
the negro infant that was killed by
it's father, James Huey, on Mr.. Il. G.
Guys plantation Saturday evening,
May 10, brought in a verdict Friday
that the deceased came to her death
from the effects of pistol wound IN
the head fired by her father, James
Huey, on the evening of May 10.
Mr.. w. o. Guy was foreman Of the
jury.
Three witnesses were examined.
Sue Huey, the child's mother, and
William Harper. The latter testified
that the woman came to his house
and told his family that she had had
2. quarrel with her husband and ne
had fired at her. The woman, how
ever, in her testimony denied that
there had been any such quarrel or
cause for quarrel.
If it should develop that Huey was
firing merely to frighten his wife, as
he asserts, the charge of criminal
carelessness will be brought against
him, but if it can be proven that ne
was firing at his wife with deadly IN
tent and his bullet went wild and
killed the child instead, he will have
to facet he charge of murder.

ARE TWO SAIXAHONS BUT NO SECOND CHANCE
Evangelist FSse breaches Striking SermOR-SayS There
Salvation Provided for the World Well as for Church

Filled with enthusiasm over Gods
future provision for the world, Pas
tor Daniel Toole of New York city
spoke here last night to an audience
which showed intense interest in
what he revealed from the Scriptures
as to the Two Salvations. The speak
er made it very emphatic that none
will get a second chance, though
every one will get one full chance for
salvation, either in this world or in
the world to come.
Pastor Toole pointed out that
many, who think of the Divine Pro-
gram as merely an endeavor to res
cue mankind from sin and death to
righteousness and eternal life in the
present time, are much confused, be-
cause it must be acknowledged that
comparatively little has been done, or
is now being done for mans uplift.
After six thousand years it is stifl
true that "the whole world lieth in
the wicked one;" darkness covers
the earth and gross darkness the
heathen." In order to have any con-
fidence at all in this theory, those
who hold it are obliged to greatly
lower their standards. They are
forced to hope that God will admit
millions of unfit people, crude, rude,
ignorant and wicked, to eternal life
and happiness or else provide for
them purgatorial experiences, to
make them fit for life eternal. He
maintained that, as whole, Chris
tian people are greatly bewildered
and that the tendency of their be-
is toward doubt, skepti-
cism. atheism.
He pointed out, also, that others
believe that God never intended the
of the world, but merely
the salvation of the Church, "elect
according to the foreknowledge of
God through sanctification of the
Spirit and belief of the Truth"
Those who hold this theory are great
ly confused, also, because it seems
neomprehensible that God would
make no provision for the "thou
sands of millions" of Adams race,
bat allow them to be born in sin,
shapen in iniquity, and to go down
to the tomb with almost no knowl-
edge of their Creator, to suffer, ac-
cording to this theory, an eternity of
unspeakable torments.

not for ours only, but also for the
sins of the whole world" Il John
2:2-) The. New Covenant, which was
sealed by Jesus blood, win go into
effect under Him as Mediator, and
under its provisions mankind are to
be resurrected to life and perfection,
and will gradually be brought back
to all the glorious conditions lost in
Eden. Paradise Lost will then be
Paradise Restored. So we read that
God will have all men to be saved
(from sin and death and the binding
influences of Satan) and to come
unto knowledge of the Truth" for
the purpose of furnishing every child
of Adam a fair chance to be saved
and to gain eternal life. This re-
stored earth will be the eternal home
of mankind.
In conclusion, the speaker urged
upon his hearers the necessity of
giving more earnest heed" to the
diligent study of Gods Word rather
than to the creeds originated during
the Dark Ages, that thus their faith
in God might be increased and their
joys made full.
Pastor Toole was most emphatic in
his assertions that none need expect
a second chance. A chance of saliva
tion is now being afforded the
Church; and in the age to come each
individual of the world will be given
his chance to believe and attain per-
feet life. This will include all the
heather; not that all will gain eter-
nal life, but that all will be' 'given
chance to hear and accept if they
will. Those who disobey the Lord
will be destroyed in the Second
Death.-Adv.
