LOVED HER TO THE END.
Leaves Big Fortune to the Children
of Old Sweetheart.

Although he lost the hand of a girl
he wooed in his youth, James Carey
Russell, head of coffee brokerage
house in New York, kept green the
memories of his romance and reveal
ed them in his will in which he be-
queathed S25, 900 to each of the three
children of the woman he had hoped
some day to marry.
Russell died a bachelor and his
most intimate friends were ignorant
that he even had boyhood romance.
When he left NorwichtoWn, Conn.,, as
a young man in 1880, to seek his for
tune in New York, he hoped to go
back some day for Mary Walt, only
daughter of former Congressman
John Turner Walt. But it happened
that in Washington she met John
Howard Welles, a nephew of Lin
coins secretary of the navy, and ac-
cepted his proposal of marriage.
The Welles had three children,
John Phillip, who is now a cotton
broker in Norwich, Conn.,, Winnifred,
aged twenty-one, and Russell, now a
student at Cornell, who was named
for James. G. Russell. After the
death of Mr.. Welles in 1907, Russell
took an interest in his rivals children
and on his own deathbed last March
he sent word for Mrs. Welles, who
was also dying, of his decision to pro-
vide for her children. She died two
weeks ago.

QUEER KIND OF DRUNKARD.
Used Ether in Port Wine to &c
Quick Action.

A bartender, writing an article en-
titled What a Man Will Do for a
Drink" in the American Magazine,
tells the following story:
Il had one customer who was
puzzle to me.
He was a whiskey drinker-a
hard one Recently he began to call
for port wine. The change made me
curious. He came in one day cold
sober.
"'Jim,' he said, I'm dead broke.
1 want a drink. I may never pay you
for it, but can have it,
Il looked at him in surprise. He
was clean, we'll dressed, close shaven
and sober.
"'sure, what'll it be?' I inquired.
":Port wine
''If he had asked for whiskey, bran
dy, anything else, would not have
given it a thought. But l could not
conceive of any one begging for a 8
per cent. alcoholic drink which was
sweet. He took the glass of wine, sip
ped a little from it, took small vial
of ether from his pocket, fioated the
ether on the wine, and gulped it
down. In few minutes he was
mauldin, pitifully drunk. He re-
covered in a short time, and went for
walk, returning inside of an hour to
beg for another glass of port. The
fumes of the ether had cleared away,
and he was sober. 1 asked him why
he took that stuff.
The confession he made amazed
me, in spite of my long association
with drunkards He loved to get
drunk and drank with the set pur-
pose of becoming drunk. He loved
whiskey. but the firm that employed
him gave him his choice of quitting
whiskey or their employ. He quit
whisky. On his day off he wanted to
get drunk as quickly as possible, and,
as he said 'enjoy himself SO he had
evolved the ether drunk. He died
about two months later, and the
coroner kindly said heart disease.

MOTION TO REMOVE RECEIVERS.
Argued Before Judge Rice at Aiken
i'm BrunsOn Bank Case.

Aiken, May pa motion to re-
move the receivers of the Bank OF
Brunson at Brunson was argued to-
day before Judge Rice by attorneys
representing the creditors. The Bank
of Brunson was placed in the hands
of receivers under direction of the
attorney general through the State
bank examiner, B. J. Rhame, in April
and Walter E. Richardson, of Beau
fort, and w. NJ. Robertson were nam
ed as receivers.
The creditors want Richardson and
Robertson removed On the ground
as alleged, that Richardson, who IS
connected with banks at VarnVllle,
Yemassee, Hampton and Beaufort
has interests which will not permit
him to deal justly with the creditors
of the Bank of BrusOn. A personal
reason is argued against the confinu-
ance of Robertson as a receiver.
George Warren, of Hampton, and
P. F. Henderson, of Aiken, represent
ed the creditors, and w. B. DeLoache,
of Camden, and W. ]. Thomas, OF
Beaufort, the receivers. Judge Rice
reserved his decision in the matter
until next week.

FLUNG HIS CHILD TO WOLVES.
Animals Ignored Baby and Pressed
Attack on Sleigh.

A terrible story of fathers des-
perate act IN throwing his child to the
wolves is related here.
A peasant named Grusneijoff, &C
companied by his wife and 4-year-old
child, it is stated, was travelling by
sleigh to Volchuni. Towards dusk,
when only few miles from the town.
he suddenly came on pack of
wolves
Grusneijoff's wife, in her terror,
suggested that he should appease the
famished beasts by linging them the
child. This, however, the man at first
refused to do, continuing to belabor
his horses.
At length, however, seeing that the
wolves were gaining on the sleigh, ne
flung the child into the road. HIS
sacrifice was in vain, for the wolves,
discarding the living bundle, flew to
the attack with renewed fury, and at
length dragged the peasant from the
sleigh.
When the horses arrived in the
town the woman was found lying un-
conscious in the sleigh.
The child, which had not suffered
the slightest injury, was found lying
peacefully sleeping on the road.

report that President Wilson will in
few days nominate Charles NJ. Gal
loway, secretary to Senator E. D
Smith, and clerk of the immigration
committee of the Senate, to succeed
Gen. John G.. Black as a member Of
the United States civil service com
mission.
At the same time the President will
nominate Geo. R. Wales, of Vermont
who is now chief examiner of the
commission, to succeed William
Washburn, of New York, as a mem
Der of the commission.
The third member of the present
civil service commission, John A. Nc
Ilhenny, of Louisiana, will be retain
ed, and will become by seniority the
president Of the body. Mc1lhenny is
a Democrat and former Rough Rider,
who was appointed by President
Roosevelt. He supported Wilson in
the campaign. Wales is a Republi-
can.
''Rattling of Dry Bones
The decision of the President means
that he has determined to have a
rafting of dry bones in the ad-
ministration of the civil service,
which has been the target of steady
and effective attack by Democratic
Senators ever since the new admins
tration came into power.
It has been demonstrated that in
spite of the supposedly non-partisan
rules of the commission, the result OF
it's labors for a number of years past
has been to give to the Republicans an
enormous advantage in the distribu-
ton of Offices. After having num-
Der of fragrant charges brought to his
attention, President Wilson made up
his mind to change the personnel of
the commission and give the country
a new deal.
Former Newspaper Man.
Mr.. Galloway is a lawyer and a
former telegraph operator and news
paper man, having been news editor
of the Columbia State when chosen
by Senator Smith to be his secretary.
By his ability and courtesy, he has
made a great many influential friends
in Washington, who were glad to en-
'dorse him for the important position
to which he is about to be appointed.
He is generally admitted to have high
qualifications for the office. Both OF
the South Carolina Senators have
urged his appointment, and the ma
jority of their Democratic colleagues
have backed them up.

ACCUSED FATHER OF ARSON.
John G. Bryan Brings Serious Charge
Against His Parent.

Aiken. May 22.-John NJ. Bryant,
a well-to-do farmer of Aiken county
has been arrested on warrant
sworn out by his son, John G. Bryant,
who charges his father with arson.
Young Bryant's barn was burned
on Friday night of last week. In the
warrant it is alleged that the elder
Bryant set fire to the building, which
was in close proximity to the dwell
ing house of John C. Bryant, his resi-
dence being in danger from the fire.
The Bryants, father and son, are near
neighbors, living a few miles from
town.
Son charging father with a crime
of this nature, the penalty of which,
if he is convicted, is death under the
South Carolina law, has created
something of a sensation here,
Friends of the elder Bryant declare
that the charges grew out out of a
family row which has been on for
some time past and which has es>
tranged father and son.
John NJ. Bryant is we'll known
throughout the county. He is a man
of means and regarded as a sub,
stantial farmer.
This is the second warrant charg-
ing arson that Magistrate Smoak has
issued in the past two weeks. The
other charges was preferred against
Capt. J. NJ. Richardson, and was dis
missed Tuesday after a preliminary
examination which lasted practically
all day.
Bryant will be given preliminary
hearing before Magistrate Smoak to-
morrow morning.

THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

As Christian Bible Students-The Sat-
isfactory Proof of "Whx God Permits
Evil"
One Of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today Is,
"Why does God permit evll?" As we
look about us In the world we observe
that IL Is filled with sorrow and trouble.
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumernte. and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS 1T.
We realize that lie Is almighty and
that He could prevent It If He wished.
We read in His Word that He is more
willing to do for His children han
are earthly parents for theirs. and we
know how much hat means; yet Of
tentimes It seems That those who Try
TO do and live right have the most
trouble. This question Is made very
clear in a book entitled, 'The Divine
Plan of the Ages" Every statement
Is backed by Scripture, and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
