FATALLY SHOOTS HIMSELF.
LIE Grand c.. Griswold Dies at Aiken
From Wound Accidentally Inflicted.

Aiken, March 10.-Mr. LIE Grand
C. Griswold, of New York city, acci-
dentally shot himself with double
barrelled shotgun, while returning
from a dove hunt on the farm of Mr..
Richardson, six miles from Aiken.
The injured man was rushed to the
city and taken to the home of DR..
E. S. Cross, where surgical treatment
was resorted to. Upon arrival at the
office of the physician, the condition
of Mr.. Griswold was seen to be hope
less, as the wound was in the ab-
domen. The charge of the shotgun
entered from the side, tearing hole
in the body and penetrating the ab-
dominal cavity. Mr.. GrisWold re-
gained consciousness just before
reaching the city, but Immediately
lapsed into state of coma, from
which he never revived, sinking
rapidly until the end came at g
o'clock. The dove drive had been
organized by Mr.. Oakleigh Thorne
for the entertainment of friends,
among whom was Mr.. Griswold. The
party had just finished a successful
hunt and were on the way to the
waiting automobiles, laughing and
exchanging congratulations, and Mr..
Griswold seemed to be one of the
most animated men of the party. He
had just started to unbreach his gun
when the contents of one of the shells
we're discharged, the load taking et-
feet as described. This accident has
cast a gloom over the Aiken winter
colony. Mr.. Griswold leaves a wife
and two children.

Is 1t Legal.

Francis F. Carroll, a lawyer OF
Bamberg, has raised the point that
the circuit created at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature is illegal BE-
cause it will deprive certain persons
Of their constitutional rights. Sec
tion 2 of article Of the constitution
of the State provides that either par
tv to a suit in the circuit court shall
have the right to a change OF venue
whenever it can be shown to the
court that a fair and impartial trial
4annot be had in the county where,
the trial or action has been COM
menced or offence has been commit
ted. The same section further pro-
vides that where change of venue
is ordered the trial must be had in
a county in the same judicial district.
ssNow," asks Mr.. Carroll, "how can
a change of venue be ordered and the
trial held in another county within
the same judicial district if Charles
ton county is alone in the judicial
district? The act would deprive
party of substantial constitutional
rights!"
The News and Courier comments
on Mr.. Carroll's card as follows:
"Mr. Francis F. Carroll, whose
communication will be found in an
other column on this page today, is
the second disinterested lawyer to ex-
press the opinion that the recent act
of the legislature providing for a new
judicial circuit is unconstitutional.
Mr.. E. F. Warren, of Hampton, took
the view that the general assembly
was without authority under the con-
stitution to transfer a solicitor from
one circuit to another, as the act un-
der discussion did. The lawmakers
ignored his suggestion. 1t now re-
mains to be seen if the courts will
be able to ignore the point raised by
Mr.. Carroll. If he is right, his OBJ
lection is certainly one of the utmost
gravity. The right under certain
conditions to obtain a change OF
venure is fundamental, and Mr.: Car
roll maintains that no Charleston liti-
CANT or defendant would be able to
obtain such a change of venure un-
der the terms of the act making
Charleston a circuit to itself. II Mr..
Carroll knows what he is talking
about, will the courts in any of the
counties affected by this legislation
have authority to try cases at all
during the present year?'
1t seems that the points raised in
connection with this new circuit
should be passed on Immediately. We
are inclined to think that of the two
points raised the one brought for
ward by Mr.. Carroll is the more Sc
rious.- -Spartanburg Journal.

HOW GEN. CAR SUCCEEDED
Says Newspaper Advertising Was
Basis Of His Success

The story Of how newspaper ad-
vertising and a trademark built up
a fortune of s4,OO0,0O0 from an
investment of $4,000 in twenty-five
years was related by General j. S.
Carr, of Durham, n. c., when he ar
rived in New York from Honolulu
recently.
Carr was the first manufacturer
of Bull Durham tobacco. He told
how he had spent 100000 in law
suits to protect his trademark, but
he added advertising had done the
most to make the success of the
brand Mr. Carr said:
when 1 signed my first advertis-
ing contract for s250,000 1 didn't
sleep for a week. l thought l was
ruined. But the results justified the
expenditure, and soon I was spending
S5OO,00O a year for advertising.
The biggest part of it went to the
newspapers, for l had learned that
the newspaper ad is the best in the
world. There is no line of business
that it does not help.
AZ was in the banking business,
and l built up as much trade as my
two nearest competitors combined
by newspaper advertising. My four
boys are the biggest hosiery manu-
facturers in the country, and they
have relied on newspaper advertis-
ing to make their success. The first
thing, of course, is to have the goods,
but after that you must make your
goods known
General Carr is one Of the few re-
naming generals who surrendered
at Appomattox. He is now lieuten-
ant general of the veterans OF the
Confederacy. He is retired from
business now, having sold out his
tobacco industry in 1898.

BURNS PROVE FATAL.
Frank w. Bean Dies at Home in
Georgia.

Clinton, March 14.-On Sunday
night, March S, DR.. w. S. Bean, of
this city, was summoned by a tele-
phone message to leave for Washing
ton, Ca, where his son, Frank w.
Bean, had been severely, perhaps
fatally. burned. DR.. Bean left at
2:30 a. m. Monday, but reached
Washington about noon, only to find
that his son had died about o'clock
that morning:
The accident occurred Sunday
morning while Frank Bean was
dressing, his night clothing catching
fire. In his excitement he ran down
stairs seeking help, which only made
the flames worse. The physicians
reached him very soon and relieved
the intense pain, and he seemed to
regain his normal cheerfulness. But
there was no pulse perceptible at his
wrist, and the injury to so much OF
the skin caused a nervous shock
from which he never rallied. He
was 40 years of age last December
and unmarried. He was a graduate
of the University of Georgia and had
been admitted to the bar, but never
practiced. His disposition was very
generous and unselfsh, and he was a
consistent Christian and church
member.
During his last hours he was al
ways considerate and expressed to
those attending him the hope that
he was not troubling them. He fell
asleep without struggle in the early
light of the day.
The funeral was held from his
grandfather's old home, where he
was born, and the casket was cover
ed with flowers. So sudden a death
came as a great shock to his relatives
and friends, but his pure life and his
peaceful departure softened their sor-
row for his death.
