killed himself at his winter home
here today. Evading a nurse who
had been attending him since he re-

the muzzzle of his rifle in his mouth
and pulled the trigger with toe.

illness which necessitated a major on

Returning here recently he seemed
to be exceedingly nervous and Mrs.
Post engaged trained nurses to attend
Rim. Mr.. Post; arose at his usual
'nour this morning., Dre6kfasted snd
lounged about until 10 o'clocs when
ne excused himself, telling the nurse
on duty at the time that he wished
TO go to his apartment to lie down.
what happened then is a matter of
conjecture. A shot was heard; Mrs.
Post and a nurse rushed to the APART
ment upstairs and found the million
are stretched on the floor dead.
Both Mrs. Post and the nurse said
they did not know how Mr.. Post had
procured the rifle. Its presence in
the room was taken by them to indi-
cate that he had planned his death
some time In advance.

DEATH OF THREE
CHARGED TO LAD.
Sixteen Year Old Preston Williams
Held--Jesse Sumner, Ebert and
Robert Gay Succumbed to
Wounds Inflicted by Gun.

Ocilla, Ga, May 1O.-Preston Will
liams, the 16-year-old son of J. w.
Williams, well known farmer in
irwin county, is lodged in the county
Jail here, charged with the murder
OF three other youths Saturday af
ternoon. The three victims are Jesse
Sumner and Ebert and Robert Cav.
brothers.
The evidence shown at the coro-
ner's inquest held late last night was
to the effect that the three victims
were alleged by young Williams to
have made some remarks about the
latter's mother which was taken by
Williams as an insult.
Yesterday afternoon about
o'clock, when Sumner and the Cav
boys passed the Williams home, they
were hailed and angry words passed
between members of the williams
family and the three young men.
Evidence at the inquest was to the
effect that Preston Williams went to
the house while the alteration was
on, and returned shortly with shot
gun. 1t is charged that he opened
fire on the three as they were driv-
ing away, emptying both barrels into
their backs. Buckshot was used
Sumner and Robert Gay died almost
instantly and Elbert Gay died this
morning. Young Williams was ar
rested at 10 o'clock last night.
The Gay family is one of the old
est and most prominent in Irwin
county. The tragedy took place with
in sight of where H. E. Bostwick
three years ago killed five officers
when they were attempting to arrest
him. and had to be finally shot down
by the militia.
The Gays boys were neighbors Of
Bostwick. All three boys were sons
of widowed mothers.
Summers father was killed from
ambush near Sycamore several years
ago.

General Lees Last Order.

A Confederate soldier sends us the
last order of General Lee with the
request that it be published in The

Headquarters Army of North Vir.
ginia, April 10th, 1865.
After four years of arduous ser.
vice marked by unsurpassed courage
and fortitude the army has been
compelled to yield to overwhelming
numbers and resources. l need not
tell the brave survivors of so MANY
hard-fought battles who have re.
mained steadfast to the last that
have consented to this from no dis
trust of them. But feeling that valor
and devotion could accomplish moth
ing that would compensate for the
loss that must have attended the con-
tinuance of the contest, I determined
to avoid the useless sacrifice of those
whose past services have endeared
them to their countrymen. BY the
terms of the agreement officers and
men can return to their homes to re-
main until exchanged. You will take
with you the satisfaction that pr,
ceeds from the consciousness Of duty
faithfully performed and / earnestly
pray that a merciful God will extend
to you his blessings and protection
with unceasing admiration for your
constancy and devotion to your coun,
try and q grateful remembrance of
your kind and generous consideration

'CLEAN-UP DAY" FOR
THE COUNTRY HOME
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Farmers Need of Precaution is as
Great as That of the Man Who
Dwells in the CITY.

Clemson College, May 1O.-Manv
cities in South Carolina have been
conducting cleanup" days recently
and; according to reports, much val.
uable work has been accomplished in
Ihls way. But very little has been
heard of cleanup work in rural com.
munltles. Yet it is the opinion
OF Clemson College authorities that
TINS season fully as much as the citv

ed. Yet removing unsanitary CON
dltions from the farm is not a diff
cult task and even if left altogether
to the farm wife and the children,
much good can be accomplished and
perhaps doctors bills averted. Good
common sense, aided by a few neces,
sary tools, is the principal thing re-
quired for the work.
The fly and the MOSQUITO. as the
principal disease carriers against
which the farmer has to fight. are
the enemies to work on in cleaning
up the farm. If man can rid his
place of these two pests he has gone
long way toward establishing san
itary conditions.
For the fly, traps and spray pumps
are the surest and best weapons. Full
information on this subject can be
obtained from Prof. A. F. Conradi's
bulletin. Controlling Flies" which
can be had upon request. Any coun-
ty demonstration agent in the State
will be glad to demonstrate the use
of the fly trap.
The mosquito offers larger prob
lem and the only thorough method
OF getting rid of it is to drain all the
swamp land on the farm and to keep
the premises free of tin cans and
other receptacles in which waite,
can settle and serve as a breeding
place. But keeping a place free of
all standing pools of dirty water and
other possible breeding places will
do much to keep down mosquitoe.
and, therefore, malaria, which can
be caused only by mosquito.
The first step in fighting both
pests is to screen the house as to
both doors and windows. The ex-
tension division of Clemson College
will furnish information about a
cheap system of screening.
Disease seldom attacks people who
live on clean premises.

WARNING AGAINST
SALICYLIC ACID.

Washington, ID. c., May 1.-THE
attention of the Department of Agri-
culture has recently been called TO
the widespread use, especially in ru-
raj communities, of salicylic acid in
putting up preserves. The head OF
large drug and chemical supply house
states that people living in Southwest
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
XeHtuSkys Tennessee and Western
deBfgSS have been purchasing -sali-'
cylic acid in one-four pound pack.
ages for number of years and that
this practice has grown to an enor-
nous extent. This dealer states furth-
er that only a few weeks ago he re-
ceived an order from one wholesale
grocer for fifty gross of these goods.
The department is aware that this
practice is not confined to salicylic
acid under its own name alone, but
that large quantities of this acid, and
of boric acid as we'll, are sold under
fanciful names as preserving pow-
ders or canning compounds at prices
which are much in excess of their
real value.
In the directions for use, the house
wife is told to fill the jar with the
fruit or vegetables, cover with water
and add teaspoonfuI of the powder.
1t Is true that these powders may pre-
vent the decay of the fruit or vege-
table, but they also encourage un-
cleanly or careless work, and their
excessive use may be attended with
very serious effects upon the headth.
Salicylic acid is a medicine of the
greatest value in acute articular
rheumatism and certain other dis
eases. 1t is we'll known as a poison
Gus substance, and one of the evils
arrangement of the digestion. 1t is
therefore plain that its extensive use
in food may lead to disturbance of d.
gestion and health.
1t is entirely practicable to put up
both fruits and vegetables in such a
manner that they will keep indefinite
ly by sterilizing the products by
means of heat, and there is no ex-
cuse for running any risk by the
using OF preserving powders. The de-
partment of agriculture has issued
the following Farmers Bulletins on
canning and preserving:
F. b. 203 Canned Fruit, Preserves
and Jellies.
F. B. $50 Canning Vegetables in
the Home.
F. B. 521 Canning Tomatoes at
Home and in Club Work.
These bulletins, which may be OBJ
tained without cost by applying to
the Division of Publications of the
Department, give exact directions for
canning and preserving foods with
out the use of preserving powders
or canning compounds.
