TAKKES POISON AND DIES.
Snmter Farmer Puts an End to His
Life.

Sumter, September 13.-W1lllam
Edward Dick, a well-known farmer,
of Sumter county, put an end to MS
life this morning by taking poison at
his home at about o'clock. Death
was almost instantaneous. Mr.. DICK
had been in poor spirits for long
time, but yesterday seemed very
much better. He went to the polls
to vote and remained there good
part of the day, showing a great deal
of interest in the election. The news
of his death this morning at his own
hands came as great shock to his
family and friends.
Mr.. Dick was in his fifty-s'xth
wear. He was the son of the late Dr.
Leonard White Dick and a native OF
Sumter county. He attended the
Citadel as young man and always
took an interest in that instution. He
is survived by his wife, who before
marriage was Miss Annie Blanding,
youngest daughter of the late Col.
James D. Blanding, of Sumter; two
DAUGHTERS, Mrs. James w. Fowler,
of Fountain Inn; Miss Gertrude D..
Dick; two sons, Messrs. w. E., Jr.,
and Anthony White Dick. The fu-
neral services will be held Friday and
the interment will be at ST. Philip S,
Bradford Springs, burying ground.

Could He?

He was a perfect wonder, was the
parliamentary candidate for a GER
tain agricultural district. And he
was never shy of telling the voters
why they should return him as their

Il am practical farmer" said he,
boastfully, at one meeting. Il can
plow, reap, milk COWS, work a char
cutter, shoe a horse-in fact ne
went on, proudly, II should like you
to tell me one thing about farm
which I cannot do"
Then, in the impressive silence, a
small voice asked from the back of
the crowd:

Thrifty.

1t is said that Scottish humor is
an electric spark that flies back and
forth between the two extremes of
whiskey and religion. But the fol-
lowing anecdote is Scottish, without
touching either extreme.
A wife was asked by her husband
what kind of bonnet one would like
him to bring her frae Glasgow, and
she replied:
"Weel, ye'd best make it a straw
bunnet, Jock, and when I'm done wi
it I'll feed it to the co.,"
If silence is golden, the man who
invents a process of smelling it ought
to make a fortune up Oyster Bay
way.

She Asked to Know.

Stella called on her newly married
friend, Bella, and found her attired
in a businesslike overall, while her
arms were full of fashion papers and
cookery books.
"Hello!" she exclaimed. what
are you going to maKe?'
"Some cakes,'' replied the young
wife proudly.
"But why have you got out those
fashion papers, as we'll as the cook
cry books?"
"You see,' confessed Bella, rather
I'm bit of novice
at cooking. Tell me, do you make
cakes from a recipe or pattern?''-

Angelic Treatment.

tThe late Jno. Townsend TroW-

His Flying Machine,' had quaint
way of expressing himself" said a
New York editor.
"A girl asked Mr.. Trowbridge's
advice one day about marrying an
impecunious young poet.
"'How much does he make?' Mr.
asked.
. "'Oh,' said the girl, he only
makes about six dollars a week. He's
no pay-your-own-way poet. But,
she added, fervently, but he says
he'll treat me like an angel

Some Kicker.

A man who lives in Savannah and
owns a plantation in chatham coun-
ty, Georgia, bought a mule with a
reputation for owning set of gifted
and hair-triggered hind legs and
shipped her out to his place to be
used in plowing for cotton.
A Sunday or so later he visited
the plantation. The darky whose
particular job it was to take care OF
the working stock came up to him to
report.
"Jim," asked the owner of the
plantation, "does that new mule kick
much?"
"Kick?" said Jim. 'Bos, dat der

MARITIME TONES DOWN
PLEA FOR EASEMENT
Changes Language Because of
Hostility in Senate.

Washington, July Ex-senator Mar
tine abandoned his resolution appeal
ing to the British government on be-
half Of Sir Roger Easement to-day In
the face of the evident hostility Of a
majority of the Senator'S. He substi-
tuted a milder form of words, which
will be taken up on Monday.
For the United States to make Off
cial representations would do more
harm than good" said Senator Stone,
chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee, when the matter came up.
"The State Department already, on the
request Of Easements sister, has had
Ambassador Page transmit a personal
appeal for clemency to the British gov
ernment. Ambassador Page has ad-
vised the department that official rep
reservations would not be received in
a kindly way. If Great Britain is dis
posed TO extend clemency to Easement
it will do it on its own motion rather
than have it said that clemency was
shown at the request of a foreign gov
ernment To pass this resolution
would be an international blunder."
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, agree
ing with Senator Stone, said he be-
lieved Great Britain would commute
Easements sentence TO life imprison-
ment and pardon him after the war
Mrs. Agnes Newman, sister of Sil
Roger, sat in the Senate gallery dur
ing the discussion.
Senator Williams asked what the
United States would have thought II
the British Parliament had adopted a
resolution of intercession in the case
Of Mrs. Suratt when she was executed
for completely in the murder Of Abra.
ham Lincoln.
Senator Vsrdman, in sympathy with
the resolution, urged Senator MARITIME
to eliminate from the preamble criti-
cism of the British courts, and Senator
Phelan suggested a substitute merely
expressing sympathy of the Senate and
Urging clemency.
Senator MARITIME finally offered hi.
new resolution, which would reques,
the President to advise the American
Ambassador to Great Britain "to use
his kindly Offices unofficially to ask FOL
commutation in the sentence of death
passed upon Sir Roger Easement"
