If the governor decides to call
the legislature in special session
for the purpose of passing an

prove very embarrassing to

The January term of the Ran

lasted only six days, was the
most inexpensive one for many
years. The report of the clerk,

ficulty Between Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
+. Culpepper.

Hartsville. Dec. 21.-Mrs. B. F..
Culpepper shot and seriously wounded
her husband, Ben. E. Culpepper, near
the Coast Line passenger station here
this afternoon. The young couple
were recently married. The cause of
the trouble is not known. 1t appears
that they were standing on the street
leading from the depot to the cotton
mill talking and that the husband
turned to walk away when his wife
pulled revolver and fired. It is re-
ported that five shots were fired at
close range, two taking effect, one
shot entering near the right shoulder
from the front, another entering
from the rear about the left shoul-
der blade.
Mrs. Culpepper was taken into Gus
tody by John o. Folsom, chief of po-
lice, and was carried to Jail at Dar-
lington to await the pesult of the
wounds. The injured man is being
given careful attention by physicians
and while his wounds are serious he

Italian Headquarters i'm Northern
Italy Wednesday, Dec. 10 (By the
Associated Press) Tho situation in
the northern fighting zone has as
sumed more serious aspect with the
enemy's occupation OF Monte Asolone,
whence there is a stretch of hills be-
tween him and the level plains.
Monte Asolone is the last of the
heights in that section with an alti-
tude of more than 1000 feet and
snowless except during severe win
ter.
The enemy's heavy guns already
have the range beyond Bassano,
which lies on the Venetian plain near
the entrance to the Brenta Valley.
and while the city itself has not yet
been shelled occasional shells have
fallen In the outskirts.
Reports show that the enemy is
employing IL divisions in his opera
tions between tie Brenta and Piave
Rivers. OF these six are certainly,
and nine probably. German. Desert
ers say that the enemy troops declare
they will be in the plain by the holi-
days. as they are strong in their de-
sire to get down from the mountain
heights before winter sets IN.
Five different attempts to cross
the Old Piave near its mouth indicate
that the enemy is adopting the plan
OF striking the two extremities of the
line with the purpose of bending one
or the other back on the center.
