THREE DEATHS DAILY
RECORD FOR WEEK
Grim Reaper Visits Twenty one Homes
Since Last Sunday-Fifteen
Property Transfers.

The death rate in this city increased
alarmingly during the week, when
twenty-one cases, an average of three
a day, were recorded at the town
clerks office. With the absence of
any particular dangerous disease with
the exception of grip and neumonia,
this total number of deaths is con-
sidered a high figure. In the greater
number of instances, the deaths were
due primarily to the above maladies,
but two cases scan be laid to infirm-
aties incident to old age while another
was due to the swallowing of oxalic
acid by women through mistake.
Physicians about the city are very
busy.
Fifteen real estate transactions and
fifteen marriage licenses were among
the business transpiring at City hall
building during the week.
These transactions embraced the
following:

most sensational tragedies In the his

death from a pistol wound inflicted
by Lovelace, and that he had commit

dead mans body, however, read:

do the same thing she did," and owl
IDENTIFY was intended to convey tho i'm
preston that the girl had taken her
own life.
A negro woman, despite the note.
insists that In lonely spot in the
woods, 90 miles from Rome, she saw
Lovelaco embrace Miss Kerr with his
left arm. then place pistol to her
head with his right hand and fire the
shot that caused death.
1t Is rumored that the tragedy ia

gan years ago. when the young wo-
man was child attending school

say that by Intervention Of the father
the affair was broken Off, and that
LoVelace left the community by Oh
tanning school in another part of
the county. His wife and three chill
dren continued to reside near Early
station. and Lovelace was at home for
the vacation season.
According to testimony before tho
coroner's jury, Miss Kerr asked a ne
gro woman to go with her, Sunday
morning, through the woods to the
house Of a neighbor The woman
consented, and went for consldera-
bic distance. Finally she told the
young lady that she had to 70 back
home and under protest from the
girl left her alone. The negress says
she turned to look back, saw Love-
lace emerge from the woods, seize
the young woman and draw his pis-

palling. Greenville men, returning
Sunday afternoon from the weather.
beaten area, presented gloomy pic
ture OF those North Greenville farm
ers whose cotton, corn and other
young, growing crops we're laid waste
by the terrific storm which cut q
swath three miles wide and extend
Ing for distance Of 10 or Is miles,
striking heavily in the region around
Travellers Rest. This deplorable con-
dition appears not to be confined to
any one locality.
According to the hest information
obtainable, the storm in its fury
ragged in a Zig-zag path from the
Pickens county line to the vicinity Of
the old Rock House, on the Bum
combe road, and circled to the noun
tains, beating vegetation to the
grounds level as If huge army had
trampled over the area in a mad
charge.
The storm was at it's height Satur-
day afternoon, and a second down
pour OF hail Sunday morning was
but grim reminder Of the destruct-
I've elements OF the day before.
