SUICIDE NEAR FLORENCE.
Youth of Is Kills Himself because
of Ipisappoin ted Love.

of lisappoin ted Love.
The body of Elliott Nelson was
found at trysting place with his
little sweetheart, on the Darlington
road near Palmetto, by the girl ne
had killed himself for and several
of her young friends. In his hand
was a long letter to the girl which
showed evidence of jealousy and
disappointment because the girl
would not promise to marry him.
Nelson was eighteen years of age,
and had been working with his un-
cle's construction gang building a
concrete viaduct near Palmetto for
the Coast Line. He had frequently
visited the house and was we'll
thought of by the people in the neigh
borhood. The girl was but fourteen
years old, pretty we'll grown girl,
attending school in Florence. They
had been accustomed to meet under
the big beech tree near the Darling
ton road, and it was there he chose
for his suicide. He had evidently
shot himself Tuesday night,as ne dis
appeared that afternoon, after send
ing a message to the girl to meet
him. She was detained and when
she did so to meet him she saw him
walking down the road in the direc-
ton of Florence and she returned
home. Yesterday evening a party
of young girls passing the place. in
Joke vert to see if he was still wait
ing, fouLd his body.
The body was brought to Florence
after the inquest and sent to his
home in Parmalee, North Carolina,
for burial.
The girl mentioned in this matter
is a pupil of the Florence schools. a
very bright and pretty girl. but only
child, not old enough to think
|. seriously of marriage. and the boy
himself was hardly old enough to be
dwelling so seriously on the affairs
of life. He was bright. smart boy
and had been doing good work with
his uncle's gang. His uncle is Mr.
DF Andrews. He had been accus-
toned to visit at the houses Of the
people around Palmetto and was a
welcome guest. In his letter to the
girl he begs her not to marry a
drunkard, and gives some good ad-
vice and speaks most respectfully OF
her mother. He is afraid that the
girl does not love him to the exclusion
of every one else, and that she has
smiles for another suitor who had
visited tie home on Monday night.
It was at this gathering that the
suggestion of suicide seemed to come
to the bov.
There was blind musician there
\ on Monday night and he had been
playing some sad airs, and young
Nelson had left the house in tears.
He evidently went back to the
camp and wrote his letter, parts of
it on the typewriter, but most of it
by hano.
The discovery of the body was a
sad shock to the girls and they are
very rnach unstrung. The body
was subjected to an inquest by
Coroner Gun last night, and a ver-
dict returned in accordance with the
facts given. 1t was then prepared
for burial by the Vaughn Furniture
company. of this city, and was TAX

WASHINGTON, D. c., April z.
Income conscription' has
jumped to the front as one of the
issues of the moment. Congress
will include the subject in the
war program" debate.
For war purposes, and during
this war period, let the govern
ment take all private income
above 100000 year; that is the
gist of the proposal.
Below that let a sliding scale
of tax be provided which will run
down to two and a half per cent
on incomes of $4,000.
Finally, provide that profit on
war supplies be restricted to three
and a half per cent net.
This would make it possible al
most to wage pay as you en-
ter" war. No crushing bonded
Indebtedness would be left to pos
terity.
This plan to conscript wealth
comes-strange as it may seem
from conservative and wealth
owning sources. 1t is seriously
advocated in such a publication as
Financial America and finds sup
port in the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States which has
gathered special committee of IA
in Washington to take up the mat
ter of economic patriotism.
It would seem that the rich
mans pride and patriotism have
both been touched. He wishes to
show that he is neither soft nor
selfish, and that he is just as

STRANGE CRAFT SIGHTED

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Z.
The navy department learned
today of a strange craft off Nam
tucket light.
The Nantucket shoals light re-
ported that vessel had passed
there headed westward, in the d.
rection Of New York.
Secretary Daniels admitted he
is investigating the situation,
though he would not go into de-
tails as to what steps are being
taken.
Reports from Boston stated
that the Charlestown navy yard
has been notified of the presence
of German raider off the New
England coast.
That Germany may stage some
thing spectacular against America
within the next few days-such as
a repetition of the U-53 visit-was
the confident belief of some Off
Gals today.
The navy, however, is on the
full lookout for just such moves.

rumors along the Waterfront this

steam fishing trawlers Tide and
Swell have been sunk by German
raider 100 miles east of Boston.
Although no verification of the
sinking can be obtained, the re-
ports were given some credence,
in view of the fact that the trawl-
ers were fishing in the field where
the raider was reported as hav-
ing been sighted earlier in the day.
The vessels are valued at $780,
900 each and carried about 20
men each.
No fishing schooners left port

The raider was described to the
navy yard officials as carrying
two masts, large smoke stack
and being of slate color. Her size
was estimated at 10000 tons.
