ERNEST GARY DROWNED.
Son of South Carolina Chief Justice
Was Testing Ice.

Lexington, Va, March 1.-Ernest
Gary, the 17-year-old son of Chief
Justice Eugene B. Gary, of the South
Carolina Supreme Court, was drown
ed to-day while testing ice on a pond
one mile from Lexington. Gary, a
student at Washington and Lee Uni
versity, was out walking with Cadet
Smith, of the Virginia Military 1nsti-
tute, when he decided to see if the
ice was thick enough to hold him.
He ventured too far and fell into
twelve feet of water. Smith made
a brave attempt to rescue him, and i'll
so doing, went under. With plank
he endeavored to save Gary from
drowning, but Gary was chilled and
weak and in a moment he sank.
Smith was rescued. Gary's body was
recovered. 1t will be sent to Able
vile. S. c., tomorrow.

squad of deputies, under orders OF
Colonel Charles c.. Higgins, sergeant
alarms of the senate, for Miss Min

The officers are also looking for
two men, who accompanied Miss

Colonel Higgins announced he

while young Strickland is said to have
made a complete confession. 1t is

ham is wanted in other places for
one offence or another, and the two
men will be kept closely confined.

CASH DRAWER ROBBED.
Ticket Agent Said to Have Been
Knocked Unconscious

Chester, February 27.-The bold
est robbery committed here in years
occurred this afternoon at the Sea-
board Air Line depot, when Mr.. A.
Pat Wilson, day ticket agent, was
knocked down, it is said, by two
strange white men, who then riled
the cash drawer of s261.S0, and fled.
The robbery was committed just af-
ter the departure of passenger tram
No. SO, after the crowd had left the
station and Mr.. Wilson was prepar-
inc to cross the street to the freight
depot. One of the men is described
by Mr.. Wilson as being about feet,
6 inches in height and heavy set,
while his companion was taller. They
are believed to be strangers. Mr..
Wilson was knocked unconscious
with some blunt instrument, and lay
in that condition for half an hour,
or more. Upon coming to his senses,
he was able to give only a partial
description of his assailants, as he
was knocked down just as he opened
the door, and was preparing to step
out.

GERS of adjoining counties and posses

But actually, as in the Gore case, the
law assumes a man guilty until he
proves his innocence.

A headless hen, that for IL hours

residing at No. 408 Eureka street.
The nen had been suffering several

after a conference with his wife
Tucker decided to cut the hens head
off and end her misery.
When he performed the opera
ton the wound did not bleed. In
stead of fluttering to the ground, the
hen walked off a few feet and stood
STILL Tucker was puzzled.
When he returned from the Elks
show at II o'clock he went back to
the corral with lantern. The hen
was still standing and in addition
had laid an egg.
The next morning the merchant
went to the chicken yard once more.
The headless hen had moved 20 feet,
but was apparently as full of life as
any of the other chickens.
Tucker could stand it no longer.
He seized the hen and with the
hatchet cut off what was left of its
neck. This time the hen luttered

University Extension Work Ac-
compIishing Big Results.
Bureau of Education In Washington
Describes How Universities ana
Colleges Are Reaching Thou
sands Of Students In v. s.

How universities and colleges, Doth
public and private, in every state III
the Union, are reaching with lnstruc-
ton. not only students who come LOT
the regular college course, put also
thousands of other men and women
eager for educational opportunities, Is
described in a bulletin on University
Extension In the United States, pup
lished by the bureau of education.
Dean L. E. Reber, director OF the ex-
tension department of the University
of Wisconsin and leader in the move
ment to make the university serve the
state, is the compiler of the bureau
bulletin on the subject
Dean Reber shows that, while ele-
ments of university extension WORK
appear as early as 1881 in the United
States, the real beginning of the move
ment was in 1887, and its most rapid
development has taken place In the
last half dozen years.
In 1891 twenty-eight states and ter
ritories reported university extension
in some form. Between 1892 and 1906
twelve institutions organized extension
teaching, mainly in agriculture, and
since 1906 twenty-one others have re-
organized their extension work on a
basis of separate divisions or depart
ments.
Beginning largely as correspond
ence, bulletin, and package library
work, university extension has now
come to include all university service
done away from the institution, as
we'll as a certain kind of work done
within the institution, such as popular
short courses, conferences, extra lee
lures, and the like. Many of the uni
versities give corresp ondence courses
in college subjects and allow credit
for such work toward the regular col
legiate degrees.
In discussing Dean Reber's findings,
Doctor Claxton, United States commits
sioner of education, declares: No
longer don colleges and universities
confine their work within their own
walls. More and more they attempt
to reach all the people of the commu-
mites to which they minister. The
, campus of the state university has
come to be co-extensive with the Dor
ders of the state whose people tax
themselves for it's support

"CRMNG CHILD" A PANTHER
Berry Plekers In Washington, Hunt'ns
Lost Tot, Found Animal Doing
the Wailins.

Cathlamet, Wash.-A plaintive cry
apparently that of child lost In the
woods. attracted the attention OF a
party picking berries in the WOODS
near Cathlamet. The berry pickers at
once started to the rescue. Presently
the cries stopped. The party was per-
picked but still attempted to find the
little one. Again the wailing was
heard some distance away and the
party was puzzled.
After an extended search the pick
ers came upon the object OF their
search. 1t lay stretched upon the low
er bOugh OF pine tree, its tail NOV
ing restlessly to and fro-six feet Of
hungry panther. The search for the
child was discontinued at once and
rottlng berries and footsteps far apart
mark the course the party took on
its return to town.

stranger than the occasion demands.
Jealousy arises, and lovers quarrel
follows. There is a parting OF the
ways.
This does not seem to end the com.
pact which each entered into so
thoughtlessly recklessly. Neither
feels possessed of the right to en-
courage another love. Two entered
into the betrothal compact. 1t took
two to make 1t. One cannot have the
sole privilege of breaking it, II takes
two! Thus both are held in the
grip of honor until each releases the
other. The man and maid who hold
a betrothal sacred cannot be said to
be tickle in. affection.
If man discovers that the sweet
heart with whom he has parted has
ceased to love him.. lit is cruelty for
him to hold cher in honor bound to
fulfill the engagement. He should be
resigned to having found out the state
of her heart before marriage, rather
than after.
The same rule holds good in regard
to a man. A girl should be too proud
spirited to hold a man in the grip OF
an engagement of marriage which has
become ,irksome to him. Those VINO
are forced, as it were, to the altar
against their will, always hold in
their heart feeling of keen resent
ment. This feeling never resolves
into love. On the other hand, those
whose hearts are welded together, but
not mated, are apt to blame them
selves bitterly for being SO foolish as
to allow themselves to believe that II
were impossible to loosen what tney
thought to be honor's grip.
Love is serious and sacred Mar
rage is still more so. A girl and her
sweetheart should feel that they could
not exist without each other to pro-
duce sufficient faith to wed. One-s1ded
unions are not Gods purpose OF mat
ing. 1t is not honorable to give the
hand when the heart does not go
with it.
The girl who has waited patiently
through a long engagement for her
lover to fulfill his matrimonial engage
ment with her feels that she holds
him in honors grip not to forsake her,
even though her youth and beauty has
faded. In such an instance, the WON
an has the worlds sympathy and takes
issue with those who would decide
against her. Men and women should
be chary pledging their love But ex-
change of hearts once made, each
should consider wedlock loves grip
tender and sweet as it is firm.
