NJ KISSICK KILLED

SHOT IN CAROLINA HOME
Brother of v. ]. MCKiSSiCk
Of Americas

Mr.. W. I. McKissick returned -
Americas yesterday from a visit to his
former home at Union, S. c., where he
was called recently by the tragic
death of his brother, Jack P. McKis-
sick, a prosperous farmer and highly
esteemed resident of the community.
who was shot to death, it is claimed.
by n A Nicholson, white tenant Oh
his farm. 1t is said that Nicholson
lay in wait for Mr.. McKissick at the
latter's residence, shooting him TO
death.
There were no witnesses to the hon.
icide, so far as known. Later, Nichol-
son surrendered to the authorities ami
is now in custody.
Mr.. W. I. McKissick stated yester-
day upon his return here that feeling
against Nicholson was very high, and
for time, it seemed that he would
be dealt with summarily. MIR. McKis-
sick himself pleaded for the man ac-
cused of having killed his brother, and
he was locked up to await trial at a
later date.
The slain man, Mr.. McKissick stated.
had been blowing in his field during
the afternoon, sowing rye, and hal
gone to the dwelling for drink of wa
ter. AS he stepped upon the rear porch
he was shot down by some one con-
cealed there. The load of shot tore
away part of his face, infiicting q
CHASTITY wound, which was instantly
fatal. The homicide, it is said, arous
ed the greatest indignation in that
peaceful community.
The dead man bore an excellent rep
utation, and for long time was chief
of police of the little city of Jones'
vile, S. c.

NJ AOOO WILL HELP TEN
NESSEE ARRANGE
LOAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-(Special
I'm connection with the alleged refus-
al of national banks to extend credits,
Secretary McAdoo today issued this
statement
Senator Lea, of Tennessee, informs
me that the state of Tennessee has
S1,600,000 of short term notes, ma
turing October 1st; that the state de-
sires to renew or extend s1,40000
OF these notes; that commission rep
resenting the state has been in New
York for some time trying to effect
this loan, but without success.
ut is preposterous that one of the
great states of the union should fni
it impossible to procure from the
banks such comparatively small
amount of money. Senator Lea in
forms me that he was going to New
York last night for the purpose Of
joining the commission in its efforts
to secure the needed loan.
IF Senator Lea and his associates
are unable to procure from banks n
the city of New York or elsewhere to-
day and upon reasonable terms, the
desired loan, l will myself, see II
banks cannot be found to take up this
loan for the state of Tennessee on
the first of October next, upon reason
able terms, and at a reasonable rate o..

when the Washington government held
that peace had been established IN
Mexico at Carranza's ascension to

Six other cars were sent by Villa
agents from the east, but instead OF
being delivered at Juarez were rushed
to Noga.es.
Nothing has been heard from the
villa forces which are on their way
into Sonora by an overland march
along the border Carranza agents here

Chapter ".

In defense Of many Of the methods
Of modern evangelism it is often urged
that when the Savior chose his Disci-
pies he called Peter from the fish
nets, and Paul from his job as tent
maker. In a word, those who were
chosen to be messengers of the new
salvation were the people, and they
preached primarily to the people. In
varying degrees this has been true
of all great evangelists who have
achieved an acceptable ranking in his
tory.
1t is true Luther was equipped with
the academic training Of the clergy
of his time, but his life, his habits
and his language were essentially
those Of the common people. The
German into which he translated the
Holy Writ, Is the German of the
masses, and on his authority alone
against all photographers, there are
German expressions sanctioned which
do not conform to the ordinary usages
of good German diction. Modern evan
gelism has numerous. IL not such
marked, examples of the same truth.
Nor do these men ever shake OF
the vernacular of their early calling
and association. Human nature is 80
constituted that that which smacks OF
the soil, is considered to smack of
sincerity. What there Is about stu
.dious and philosophical preparation
that robs the masses Of confidence in
the man who uses 1t, might be hard
to explain. The fact that such SEEM
ing prejudice exists Is too well known
to any who have occasion to deal with
the masses habftually.
There is no question but that base
ball is the great American game. Its
vigorous, IL unschooled exertions typ
fly the American spirit, restless Of all
control. Full Of the element Of con-
test, rapid in its action. exhilarating
in its effect, essentially contest in
every aspect, the game Is reflex OF
the national life of today.
Whether or not an ALI Wise Provi-
dence gave thought to this when he
constituted W. A Sunday, his messen-
ger, or whether more natural causes
sufficiently account for the bounding
popularity of the evangelist, who came
from the ranks Of the most popular
spirit In America, IL a matter for
speculation, the outcome of which Ia
of no particular importance. Whether
a coincidence or cause leading to an
effect is immaterial- The facts are
that In stepping from a baseball team
to the rostrum Of tabernacle Mr..
Sunday achieved feat without par
allel in modern history. but quite in
keeping with the best traditions OF the
calling he espouses.
It Is not Of record that the evan
gelist cherished any youthful ambition
to shine upon the baseball field
Rather It is probable that baseball
meant to him what 1t means to most
healthy boys, pleasant sport and an
agreeable means by which they ex-
press their energy. A hardy and 1.-the

Fried Chicken, Milk Gravy.

Clean a tender young chicken and
cut up for frying. Cook Immediately
or let stand for "a hours, placing it on
ice. Put a deep frying pan on. the
stove, put in it enough lard, or equal
parts of lard and beef fat to cover the
chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with
salt and white pepper, then roll in
flour When the lard is very hot put in
the chicken, few pieces at time, but
not enough at once to cool the fat.
Cook rapidly for the first few minutes
to form a crust, so that the juice will
not escape. Then lower the heat and
fry to a golden brown, turning fire.
quently. The chicken must not be
rare, neither should it be very dry.
Frying chicken properly is more diff
cult than it seems, and great care is
needed. There are more hygienic ways
of cooking chicken, but if it is fried
do it we'll.
For the gravy-Remove the chicken
from the pan as soon as cooked, drain
all but four tablespoons of fat from
the frying pan, add three tablespoons
of flour, brown slightly, then pour in
gradually two cups of thin cream or
rich milk, stirring constantly, bring
gradually to the boiling point, add
salt to taste, and quarter of tea
spoon of white pepper Strain into a
gravy dish and serve with the chick
en-. A more hygienic gravy may be
made by heating the cream or milk
in a double boiler, then adding the
-four, moistened in a little cold milk,
cook for five minutes, season and
serve. Add one tablespoon of butter
after removing the gravy from the
fire.
