CHANGE IN EL|DA
BY SELMA ELIZABETH HIGGINS.

For whole day our darling had
moved about the house as one In some
dream-like trance. Never was a be-
ing so gentle, and she was gentle now
The same sweet smile framed her
lips, the clear earnest eyes showed
the old-time tenderness in their depth,
but-there was change.
Elida was listless. She would sit
for an hour gazing at seeming moth
ingness. When she was spoken to, her
pretty brow would wrinkle, there was
a puzzled Pickering Of the delicate
eyelids. 1t would take her quite a
minute or two before she would seem
to understand what was spoken-she
usually so quick to comprehend Her
thoughts seemed far away from her
habitual environment-her soul at
times, as though her emotions were
wandering in some vague distant
sphere-yes, Elida was changed
l. her aunt and guardian, wondered
if it was anxiety for her absent lover
Willard Hull, that had brought on
this deep abstraction But when
spoke of the estimable young man
whom we ell liked intensely, she only
smiled and spoke quietly of his speedy
return, as though her heart were at
perfect ease regarding him and his
prospects.
1t was early that evening when a
warm friend Of the family dropped in.
She was music teacher and quite an
attraction at local social entertain
ments. She looked around for Elida,
who had retired to her room saying
she was wearied | did not wonder at
this. Elida had acted so all that day.
She had been out late the evening
previous at soiree that knew Miss
Evans had also attended

mood that had held Elida in strange

NEW STORY WITH OLD MORAL
Had Young Wife Remembered Maxim
She Might Have Been Happier
and Richer Today.

There's a mean old man In Sweden.
He suspected his wife, and played
dead so as to see what she would
do. He got his doctor to pronounce
life extinct and place him in a coffin.
When his wife came in and saw him
lying there in his white crayat she
laughed till she almost cried, and
stepped right over to the telephone
and called up nice young man who
adored the very ground she walked
on eighty acres in fee simple, unin-
numbered, with Improvements, city
water, etc, only ten minutes ride
from the city Of Stockholm.) The
young man responded to her hurry
up call like fire chief to a third
alarm, and, thinking her a widow,
took her in his arms without more
ado.
II the old mans vanity had led him
to hope that he was going to hear
any compliments about himself he
was destined to disappointment The
happy pair alternated between abusing
the old curmudgeon and doing the
maxixe for Joy around his bier till
he got Jolly well bored and sat IN
in his dignity and threw damper
over the party. Then, in a huff. he
scrambled out and went to his law.

YORK MOTOR VEHICLES.

There are 42S motor vehicles on the
register Of the clerk Of court Of York
county-400 automobiles Of many and
varied makes, and % motorcycles
Most of the automobiles are Fords
while a majority of the motor cycles
are Indians
The law requiring registration OF
motor cars went into effect in 1906. On
April 26, of that year, Mr.. V. B. Nc
Fadden Of Rock Hill, registered the
first car in York county. That was
more than eight years ago, and 1t Is
quite likely that this first automobile
has long since been discarded and con-
signed to the place where all wornout
machinery goes.

want to quarrel about their circulation
for, we do not know. OF course, we
understand that to boast Of circulation
Is a weakness that is common to many
newspapers; but in our opinion it is
quite silly. Take the papers of New
York, for instance. The Herald, the
leading paper of that city, If not the
world, is willing to publish its circula-
ton figures; but it does not allow it
self to be aggravated by the claims OF
any would-be competitor that wants to
claim more. The same is also true OF
the New York Sun. The World and
the American both claim more circu-
lation than the Herald, Sun, Times,
Tribune or any other paper in New
York; but these claims do not seem to
worry anybody but the World and the
American. The other papers get along
all right. While we do not know, we
do not much doubt that the Record has
more circulation in Columbia than the
State has; but everybody knows that
the State has more circulation outside
of Columbia Even if the Record real
ly has more circulation in Columbia
than the State, since both papers have
good, substantial circulations, the ad-
vertising value Of neither is seriously
interfered with. OF course from some
standpoints the two papers are COM
petitors, but from other standpoints
they are not. At any rate, there Is
need for both, and business for both,
and each would do better to attend to
it's own business and leave the busi-
ness of it's neighbor alone. Neither the
general public or the business public
is interested in that circulation quar-
rel, the main effect Of which will be to
bring both papers in question.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS

- President Wilson has accepted an
invitation to speak ir Cheraw on July
8, the occasion of the celebration OF
the 150th anniversary of the founding
of the town.
- DR.. Lewis A. Griffith was elected
mayor of Columbia, last Tuesday, over
DIR. F. S. Earle by majority Of 191
votes in one OF the most interesting
and hotly contested mayoralty races
the city has ever witnessed. Griffith
polled 1,415 votes to 1924 for Earle.
Earle carried wards 8, 4, s, and by
heavy majorities. DR.. Earle polled a
big vote in ward one but could not
overcome the Griffith lead in the other
wards.
The Columbia newspapers, the
State and Record, have been quarrel
ing about circulation in the city of
Columbia The Record claimed that
it had more circulation than the State
and offered to give $1,000 to some
charity if its claim was disproved.
Later the Record stated that the State
was claiming fifty or more circulation
at a place where less than a dozen
families got mail. A Columbia dis
patch says that the State has brought
suit against the Record for $4,000
damages.
Col. John M. Cannon, prominent
attorney Of Laurens, was shot and
killed last Tuesday, by Joseph G. Sui
livan, a farmer Of the Tumbling
Shoals section. The tragedy grew out
of case in the magistrates court.
brought by Miss Maude Sharp, teach
er of Mt. Bethel school, in Sullivan
township, against Herbert Sullivan,
aged IS. a pupil of Miss Sharp, and a
brother Of Joseph G. Sullivan, the
slayer Young Sullivan was charged
with common assault and abusive Ian
guage and committing depredations
on the school property. There was
lots Of feeling in the case and change
of venue. Col Cannon made the OPEN
ing and closing speeches and took oc-
casion to indulge in some very rough
talk as to young Sullivan. After the
speech, Mr.. Wood, a patron Of the
school, talked to Col. Cannon and de-
manded an apology. Cannon refused
to apologize and Mr.. Wood said that
he must have an apology or trouble.
Later ]. G. Sullivan took the matter
up and called Col. Cannon a liar. Col.
Cannon struck him with a stick that
he had been carrying since he had
broken a leg in a railroad accident.
Sullivan drew a revolver and fired five
shots, several Of them taking effect in
the body Of Col. Cannon and one
striking Mr.. Willis, a bystander. Col.
Cannon was caught by friends as, he
fell and died after he had declared
he had done nothing but his duty and
requested that his body be taken to
his wife and baby Col. Cannon was
prominent in Laurens politics. He
was a colonel on the staff Of Governor
Blease and had recently been appoint
ed a regent of the asylum. He was
elected county chairman in Laurens
by the recent convention and was a
delegate to the state convention. Just
about the time the shooting occurred,
the jury which had gone out in the
case Of young Sullivan, returned a
verdict OF guilty.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-05-15

That Laurens tragedy is a most la
mentable affair and should not have
occurred. We do not know either of
the parties to it: but from the testi-
mony Of the correspondents it appears
that both MessrS. Cannon and Sulli-
van stood high in the community.
From the editorial comments it ap-
pears that most of the blame is being
laid on Sullivan, because he went to
the trial with a pistol in his pocket.
Unless his life was threatened or he
had reason to believe himself in seri-
Gus danger Of bodily harm, for protec-
upon the officers of the law, this was
very reprehensible. The only other
purpose he could have, as we see it..
would be to kill or bulldoZe somebody
in case he should so choose. But that
is not all there is to it. Abuse and
caStigatiOn of defendants and witness
es by lawyers. while common, is not
warranted by law. If a plain, dis
passionate presentation of the facts in
Il case is not sufficient to justify a
proper verdict. then the law has poor
means of vindication. In this case, it
appears that the jury thought the de-
fendant who was the real occasion of
the tragedy. guilty. as no doubt he
was But it is a well known fact that
as rule this abuse business is not
necessarily resorted to so much for the
purpose of securing justice as for
venting spleen. We would not charge
such Il thing against Col. Cannon, who
had the reputation of being an unusu-
ally fair man; but either way the eff
feet is the same The man who Is
guilty and deserving of abuse. is more
apt to try to retalate under abuse
than the man who is not guilty and
not deserving of such treatment.
There was probably feeling between
these two men before this trial: but
whether there was or not. there is
