than YOU know about yourself! And it answers,
once for ALL that famous question: DOES absence
make the heart grow fonder?
Moreover, it goes still further and tells whether
fondness, so parented lasts-or whether longed
for presence, suddenly restored dissipates it.
At least, it tells how it was in the case of John

KILLING AT HOT SUPPER"
White Man Dead - Three Aiken
County Negroes Accused.

Aiken, Oct. 6.-Aaron' Henderson
and Milledge Washington, as princi-
pals, and Joe Rouse, as accessory, are
in jail here, charged with the killing
of Louie Morton, a white man, at a
hot supper Saturday night at Jackson
Station, in this county. All of the
prisoners are negroes. Sheriff How
ard went to the scene of the killing
yesterday and Magistrate Radford
held the inquest yesterday afternoon.
There seems to have ben free fight,
in which knivs and pistols were used.
Morton was shot twice and lived only
a short time.
Morton and his brother came from
Walhalla some time ago and were
engaged in the saw mill business. 1t
was stated at the inquest that Morton
had been drinking. Magistrate Rad
ford and his deputy had the whole
party arrested when Sheriff Howard
arrived on the scene, and last night
the prisoners were brought to Aiken
and lodged in Jail.

KILLING IN BATTLE COSTLY.
Ton of Cannon Balls Required Tor
Each Soldier Slain.

For every man killed in battle one
ton of cannon balls is required. Al
though this was an old theory IN the
davs of the flintlocks and muzzle-
leaders, this is a known fact to-day.
Gen Rohne, of the German army, has
proved this to be true by a careful
study of statistics on the battle OF
Kin Chu, which preceded the siege
of Port Arthur during the Russo
japanese war and has just published
his analysis of them.
In this battle the Russian army con-
sisted of 1850 men. Of this num-
Der 4,40O men were actually engaged
while the japanese who fought num-
bered $500. The Russian killed
we're 1,475 officers and men. The
Japanese loss numbered 4,204 officers
and men. The japanese discharged
4O,15O cannon shots and 100000
rifle cartridges, while the Russian
forces fired $4,000 rifle cartridges
and 1880 cannon shots.
Eighteen per cent Of the losses
were caused by the artillery and 81
per cent by small arms. According
to Gen Rohne it took 1O5 cannon
balls or PA cartridges to kill each
Japanese and ISL cannon shots or
$3.50 rifle cartridges to kill each
Russian. The cannon balls used by
the japanese had an average weight
of 142 pounds, ounces, and the
rifle cartridges discharged by them
weighed 1852 grains. Therefore it ap-
pears that about 1900 pounds OF
steel and lead in the form of cannon
balls, or seven pounds in the form OF
cartridges, were required to kill each
Russian lost in that battle.-NeW

up unobserved, ordered Freytag to
