prove our highways-that is, give us
permanent roads. And when "O do
start, for Heavens sake. let's build
them wide enough for two tracks and
keep them so. Any practical plan
for better roads will have the hearty
support Of this newspaper, and if
any pet idea we may have is not
carried out we will not stand back
or kick out of harness, but continue
to assist as best We can those pro-
gressive and public-spirited citizens
who are endeavoring to develop the
county. There is no better invest
ment than money in good roads, but
remember. all places cannot be
reached at once. There must be a
definite plan laid out and followed,
and in the end each section OF the
county will receive the benefit. The
committee appointed at Mondays
meeting has done we'll, and we feel
sure the interest of these gentle
men is not temporary but abiding.

MERCHANT SELF SLAIN.
Bartsville Retailer, G. l.. English
Fires Bullet Into His Temple.

G.. L. English, a young merchant OF

3S calibre bullet from one Of two
revolyers in his possession. j. A.
Scott. coroner, had the body removed
TO the Mccormick undertaking estab-
lishment and will decide today

Young English, according to the
coroner's information, had been IN

q patient at the Kelley institute, but
came there to see kinsman. Last
night his relative gave the young
man some medicine to quiet MS
nerves. The sedative apparently hac
the intended effect and Mr.. English
undressed and went to bed. But he
had been alone in the room less than
five minutes when the shot was heard
at 1915 O'Clock. he was uheon-
scious and dying when found. The
heavy ball had entered the right tenn
pie and emerged through the left
eye.
Mr.. English was in his early thir-
ties and was unmarried. He went 10
Hartsville from Union and for five or
six years was shoe salesman in the
store of J. L. Coker & Co. About two
years ago he entered into a partner
ship with J. P. Mcleod, under the
style of English & Mcleod. and the
firm opened mems furnishings store
in Hartsville. They have been sue
| cessful in business, it is said. Mt.

YOUNG WOMAN WOUNDED.
Miss Margaret McFaddin Accidental
Iy Shoots Herself With Pistol.

Miss Margaret McFaddin, pOpu-
lar and attractive young woman Of
Columbia. accidentally shot herself
with a pistol late yesterday afternoon
while she was closing safe at the
court house in the Office of heH
brother, A. D. McFaddin, master il
equity of Richland county. She was
taken to hospital Immediately after
the accident. Her condition, while
grave, is not regarded as desperate.
Miss McFaddin was alone in hel
brothers office, where she is employ
ed as stenographer, when the acci-
dent happened about 6 o'clock yes
terdav afternoon. The exact clrcum-
stances surrounding the accident are
not known, but those who reached
Miss McFaddin first are of the opln-
ion that the pistol fell on the floor
while she was slowing some papers
in the safe and was either discharged
then or while she was putting 1T
back.
w. R. Couturier, deputy clerk of
court. whose office. is. across the hall
from that of the master, was the nrst
person to come to Miss McFaddln's
assistance. J. Frost Walker, clerk o;
court, reached her side few MIN
utes after Mr.. Couturier. Together
they assisted her into an automobile
and she was rushed to hospital. A.
D. McFaddin and Miss Edith McFa5-
din, a sister of Miss Margaret Nc
Faddin, who is the stenographer for
Sylvan Brothers, hurried to the hos
pital as soon as they were notified OF
the accident.
The bullet from the pistol went
through Miss McFaddin's body. The
wound was regarded at first as very
serious, but after an operation last
night the physicians announced that
the internal organs were not per-
forated and that the wound was hot
of the desperate character they had
feared.
Besides her brother and sister in
Columbia, Miss McFaddin has a wide
family connection in Clarendon coun-
tv, where her mother, another broth
e1 and five sisters live. Miss McFad-
din has many friends in Columbia
who we're shocked when they heard
of the accident and who hope that
she will recover speedily from the ct
fects of the wound.
At a late hour last night it was
said at the hospital that Miss McFad-
din was resting well.-The State

MRS. CANNON WILL RECOVER
Woman Accused of Attacking Her
Not Yet Caught.

NOT Yet CduSnt.
Orangeburg. January 6.--Mrs.
Sue C. Cannon, who was seriously
injured several weeks ago, during an
attack made upon her by negro Wo-
man, at Mrs. Cannons home, near
Vance, this county, is making good
progress toward recovery, her phys:-
clans having pronounced her out of
danger. Mrs. Cannon sustained
number of cuts and bruises, and
while none of them in itself was con-
sidered dangerous, there was fear
that blood poison would set in.
Mrs. Cannon is still in this city. at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. w. J.
Morgan.
The woman, Mary Gaillard, who is
alleged to have attacked Mrs. Cam
non, has not yet been caught. At
one time it was believed that she
had gone, by the Santee river, to
Charleston, where it is said, she for
merly lived, but the county authori-
ties now seem to be of the opinion
that the Gaillard woman is still, in
Iiding n the vicinity of Vance, ant
the officers are still on the lookout
for her.

GOOD WORK.

Bamberg county certainly took Il
long step forward Monday IN
the effort to obtain better roads.
True the meeting was small, but
it was most certainly repre-
sentative body OF men, repre-
senting most if not all sections
Of the county. In the meeting we
heartily favored appropriating the
entire dispensary profits to roads and
bridges, and we still think it the
best thing to do. AS to the govern
ment offer, that is another matter.
If the contract to be entered into is
one that could be accepted by the
county, we'll and good, but it seems
to US that We can certainly build good
roads in this county for less than
$1,000 a mile. However, the matter
of government help can be investi-
gated fully later.
The recommendation of the COM
lulltSS IUdt luc ION lis dlSO COuIll-
butte a portion of their dispensary
profits to this purpose is commenda-
BILE, and Bamberg has in the past
shown her appreciation of good
roads by an appropriation from the
city treasury of $4,000 for this pus-
pose. That our present city council
will continue to do all that they
consistently can for better highways
we feel certain. However, the treas
ury is very much depleted at present,
and we do not know how the other
towns of the county are fixed fnan-
cially.
But whether the towns contribute
the proportion Of their profits asked
by the committee, we feel sure that
something is going to be done 70 inl-

man at Atlanta Depot.
Atlanta, Jan. 3.-When J. A. Muir
dock of lat Kelly street went to meet
his wife and her mother at the train
this morning strange physician
whom he never had seen before met
him at the Pullman door and told
him that Dr.. Stork was attending
Mrs. Murdock just then and that
everything was fine.
One hour later, or at 7.30 o'clock,
a tiny cry was heard in the dark Car
under the train shed of the union de-
pot. A little son had come just in
time to be met by his father and to
leave the train with his mother and
grandmother. An ambulance carried
them all to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Murdock.
By good fortune a physician hap
pened to be on the train which
brought Mrs. Murdock and her moth
er. The physicians own wife was III
in another car and after Mr.. Muir
docks arrival a second doctor was
called to relieve him.

One great drain on the resources
of Bamberg county is the money that
goes off to mail order houses which
should be spent at home with OH:
merchants. We trust every merchant
in Bamberg and in every town in the
county will make a determined effort
this year to get this trade which is
going to the mail order houses. Peo-
pie generally have little idea of the
amount of money that goes out OF
the county for goods which could be
bought just as cheaply and possibly
cheaper at home. But the catalogue
mail order house advertises and gets
the business. The wise merchant will
see the point.

The people of Bamberg should not
let pass the opportunity to secure al
election on the question of sewerage.
There must be constitutional
amendment voted on by the State at
large to allow the town to issue
bonds for this purpose, and our re-
presentatives should be instructed
by petition to secure the passage of
a Joint resolution at the approach
ing session Of the general assembly
authorizing a vote on this amend
ment. This procedure must be gone
through with, and if the amendment
is not voted at the general election
next fall We will have to wait two
years more. Now is the time to act.

Let's give her another boost, and
nothing will be of more benefit than
extension of the water mains and

CHAPTER LIX.


remember once my mother
telling me (she used to love to
talk to me about the father who
died before l was old enough to
really know him, although my
father was very orderly man,
yet he never seemed to know
where his clean clothes were kept.
81 placed your fathers shirts
for fifteen years In the same
drawer of the bureau, and I know
that he never put on a clean shirt
in all that time that he did not
call out, Margaret, where did you
say you put my shirts when they
came from the laundry | think
he did this simply because he
liked me to wait on him.
"Men, my dear, love to have
their wives fuss over them. They
are like children In their anxiety
to be petted and have the atten-
tion Of those they love focused
upon them. And we are all born
with that maternal instinct which
makes us pet and care for any
thing We love-"
l, of course, did not think much
about this little lecture on conju-
gal amenities at the time, but
since I have been married | have
found that nothing pleases Dick
more than for me to put the but
tons in his shirt, to lay out his
sox, collars, ties and handker-
chiefs and to look him over when
he has finished dressing to see
that he is all correct.
The first morning after we
hNd moved into our new rooms l
thought | would see If he really
liked me to do these things for
him. and as1 had shown him the
night before where all his clothes
were kept ] did not get them
ready while he was taking his
bath.
When he came out he looked
on the bed in a surprised sort of
way and said: Where is my
shirt. Madge?'
I'm the drawer" answered,

PANTAGES

Little Hip and Napoleon are
coming to the Pantages newt week
to provide the big comedy feature
of the new vaudeville bill. Since
they formed partnership in
vaudeville two years ago, Hip,
the elephant, and Napoleon, the
monkey, have perfected a comedy
entertainment that will keep the
audience in a constant roar. Ma
poleon does screaming stunt ON
roller skates in which he races
with his trainer, with Little Hip
too ungainly to get out of the
way. Napoleon does not mind
for he skates under Hip. but the
trainer is to tall, and has to go
all the way around. Hip and Ma
poleon close their sketch with a
game of football. Little Hip, by
the way, was trained in Tacoma
and made his vaudeville debut in
this city, so he is really coming
back home for visit.
There are many other comedy
features scheduled for the new
weeks bill. Walter Leroy and
Emily Lytton will present their
farce playlet. "A Horse on Ho-
gan," In which they have been
appearing In vaudeville for the
past two or three seasons.
The Xylphonos, who stand at
the head of xylphonists In the
vaudeville world, will be an add
ed feature of the bill They are
recognized as not only the best OF
their line in this country, but en-
joy similar reputation in
Europe.
There will be no room for gloom
at the Pantages for the week, for
Rice and Franklyn will offer their
new skit, won by Ten" which is
said to be clipper. Both are
graceful dancers and their sing
Ing Is also a feature. In the
matter of acrobatics, the three
Jahns will show Tacomans some
thing entirely new and speedy.
Dainty Peggy McClelland's sing
ing will also be a feature. There
will be new motion pictures.
