The State, goth.
The Rev. A. J. Bowers, D. D., pro-
fessor of Latin and Greek at New
berry college, was in Columbia yes
terday and preached in the morning
at the Lutheran church of the Ascen-
sion in Eau Claire.
DR.. Bowers has been connected
with Newberry college more than 20
years. Many of the young men, who
were students at the Lutheran inst1-
tuition with DR.. Bowers now send their
sons hack to be taught by their class
mate He has seen the students OF
two generations come and go like the
seasons.
Few men in South Carolina have a
better knowledge of the personnel OF
the Lutherans in the State than he
has, and few teachers hold so en-
yiable a record for a long and useful
period of service at an institution OF
learning.

the neighbors to make search for
him and for them to find him dead.
His last consultation with me was
not quite three weeks ago. l have
seen him since then but not profes-
sionally. His most emphatic state
ment of the many he has made to ne
was uttered when he said: I don't
mind dying, but l can't leave my
family behind. This thing can't last
much longer with me-"
DR.. Eleazor and Mr.. Jacobs were
close personal friends in addition to
the professional relationship between
the two of physician and patient. The
physician had been deeply concerned
over his friends condition and had
many times discussed it with Mrs.
Jacobs.
This entire community is StllI deep-
ly shocked over the tragedy. The cit
izens of the countryside, with the
burial of the ill-fated family done,
can only speak Of the terrible affair
in whispers and wonder.
It has been learned that the life
of Mr.. Jacobs was not insured nor
was there any insurance on his home

Reward for Slayer.
Record, 1St.

Record, lst.
Governor Blease Tuesday afternoon
issued a reward of $500 for the mur-
derers of John D. Jacobs, Mrs. John
d. Jacobs, Miss Ellie Jacobs, Leslie
Jacobs, Hugh Jacobs and Oren ia
cobs, who we're killed and cremated
some time Saturday morning. 1t will
be remembered that the whole Jacobs
family was exterminated. The heads
of all but the father, John D. Jacobs,
were crushed, supposedly causing
death, and the latter was shot. The
bodies were afterwards cremated in
the dwelling which was burned to the
ground. The tragedy occurred near
Peaks, a small town across the
Broad river in Lexington county, ap-
proximately 26 miles from Columbia.
The theory advanced is that the
father, John D. Jacobs, who was sup
posed to be afflicted with suicidal
mania, killed his family and then
committed self~murder. 1t is thought
that the exploded cartridge from the
shotgun ignited the bed on which
Jacobs was reclining when he COM
mitted suicide, causing the house to
burn. But there are those who think
that the family was murdered; so the
chief executive decided to offer re-
ward for the apprehension of the per-
petrator of the bloody deed.

with fife and drum to SpanSler
woods, where the columns OF Pickett
formed on July 3, 1863, to begin the
charge that marked the high tide OF
the Lost Cause. They did not charge

blades of grass in that wide stretch
where death stepped with them be-
fore.
On the edge of the Union side Of
the camp the veterans of Meredith's s
Iron brigade and Of Pettigrew's bri-
gade of North Carolina got together
to go over the story of the fight Of the
first of July. The struggle between
the regiments of the two brigades was
the most disastrous in number of
those killed in the entire three days
fighting and was seldom equalled in
the whole history of the war. They
met today, many of them for the
first time since '63.
Few Real Prostrations.
Out and out cases of heat prostra-
tions were unusual and altogether the
veterans showed their mettle was still
good throughout the trying day.
Down town in Gettysburg, where the
temperature was even higher than
in camp there were more cases OF
temporary exhaustion treated at
emergency stations and at the Penn
sylvania health departments hospital
Although the army doctors were
not given to talking about such mat
ters, it was evident tonight that many
of the old soldiers would have been
better off if they had not undertaken
the trip. Two veterans, apparently
without friends, have been found in
camp. They are totally blind and are
uuartered in hospital tents. Mlcagga
Weiss, a New York veteran, who was
taken to one army station today, an
nounced that he is 112 years old.
The average is about 70 and there
are hundreds who are over 80. The
long Journey, added to the fact that
they arrived here thoroughly tired
out and the hardships that they have
undergone in addition to the heat
wave made the sick list fill up.
The first death of veteran in the
town of Gettysburg occurred this aft
ernoon. The victim was J. D. Albert
of Washington, D. c., about 70. He
is said to have been prominently con-
nected with the United States pension
Office. Death was due to stroke OF
paralysis.
The fifth death reported in camp
was that of C. Yates, aged 70, a vet
eran from Latrobe, Pa, who died
late today as a result Of hGat pros
tration.
The agitation for the closing Of the
barrooms in the town of Gettysburg
appears to have died away tonight
and they remain open for flourish
ing business. 1t is stated that the
intimation came from the county
court house that no drastic action
would be taken unless the necessity
is greater than appears to be the
case at the present time.

Three hundred and fifty PhiladeI-

were scattered about the camp at
various stations. Fourteen Red Cross
stations were established on the bat
tie field to serve as rest stations and
temporary hospitals for the veterans.
A thousand cooks have arrived for
duty at the camp and everything is
complete for the opening tomorrow
evening.

THE ECONOMY oFM
 USING CREDIT FOR
 FAMILY PURCHASING.

Many families find it almost impos- sibIe at the seasons of the year when it is necessary to buy new clothing, to have the ready cash on hand that will enable them to purchase to the best advantage. In such cases by force of circumstances it is necessary to buy cheap" clothing, for little money, clothing that will not give good service. The wearers of this kind. find themselves before the sea- son is over forced to again purchase new wearing apparel and their total expenditures are thus more by sew eral dollars probably, than what one good garment would have cost them. Cheerful Credit, given by Caesar Misch, Inc, should appeal particu- larly to such eases, for by its liberal provisions anyone can purchase what they need when they need it, depend able qualities that are guaranteed to give REAL service, and the prices are generally so low as to make whatever is bought the best value Ohta4nsble.
