HNNRY CAIN KILLS HINlSEIE.
Domestic Troubles Said to Have Led
to His Rash Act,

Henry Cain, a citizen Of the Oak
way section Of OcOnee, killed himself
last Sunday morning by blowing Off
his head with n shot gun. We have
heen able to get but meagre details,
but the following statements have
come to us through sources to all
appearances reliable:
Mr.. Cain was married about 20 or.
20 years ago, but domestic relations
were not satisfactory for some rea-
son, and his wife, who was q Miss
Williams, left him not long after the
marriage. They remained separated
for years, the two having become
reconciled only recently, and had
been living together in harmony for
several months past A short time
back, however, 1T Is stated, Mrs. Cain
found among Mr.. Gains papers a let
ter recently written to him by wo-
man In Greenville, and upon learn
ing Of the letter and its contents
Mrs. Cain left her husband, stating
that 1t was this time for all time.
It seems that Mr.. Cain brooded
great deal over the second separa-
ton, and on Sunday morning he told
his father, William Cain, that he was
going to end all of his troubles by
killing himself Later in the day he
shot himself, using shot gun, and
his death was instantaneous What
other particulars are known, IL any,
we have been unable to gather from
any source, but the above was gotten
through inquiry Of citizens of that
part OF the county in which the sui
eide took place, and seems to be au-
thentic.
Mr.. Cain was about 40 years Of
age. Shortly after the first separa-
tion OF the couple 4 son was born,
and he has always gone by the name
Of Lee Williams, his mother having
refused to retain her husbands name
after the separation, which took
place before the child was born.

tive. The crowd took Richards a
mile distant, tied him to tree and
riddled his body with bullets. Later
the body was placed in front of the
court house In Warrenton. Still
later another crowd carried the body
to the outskirts of the town and
piled woou about 1t and fired the
wood. Sheriff Brinkley and Robert
Williford, who were shot by Rich
ards during the night, are painfully
but not seriously hurt.

SHORT LIME RAILROAD IS SOLD.
Man from Florida buys GrccnvilIo
Road for $40, 900.

GreenVilIe, May 5.--The Green
vile and Western, a bankrupt rail-
road from Greenyille to River Falls,
a distance Of 25 miles, was sold at
public sale to-day by order of the
Federal Court. r. A. McTyer, OF
Orlando, former president Of the
railroad, was the purchaser. The
road was sold for the upset price Of
$4,000. Mr.. McTyer said that he
purchased the road as an investment
and that unless he received bids
from investors for the road as an
operating railroad he would sell it
off for junk. The railroad will con-
tinue under the supervision Of Capt.
V. =. McBee, company receiver, until
June i, with daily freight service.
After paying $4,000 cash on the
railroad Mr.. McTyer left the city for
his home in Orlando. He will return
tho latter part OF the month to pay
the remainder Of the purchase price
and be ready to assume charge Of
the road Oh June /.
This railroad was first built q
number Of years ago with the inten-
uon Of extending it later to Knox
vile, Tenn. The railroad was placed
in the hands of receivers about a
your hBo ny Ine teOeFal court upon
the petition Of the Central Bank and
Trust Company Of Atlanta, who are
tho mortgage bond holders for the
railroad. A lengthy fight has been
carried on in the Federal Courts by
the real estate owners living along
the line Of the railroad to prevent
the mortgage bond holders from SELL
ing j. off as junk, their contention
being hat the railroad could be
maintained as a paying investment.

given to gardening and the keeping of
chlckens, bees, rabbits or other things
which materially contribute TO the
country's food supply.
ndoubtedly one Of the best and
most lasting results of food control
is the community spirit which has
been fostercd among women and which
exhibited itself so clearly during the
past year through the medium of can
ming and cooking centres. An era Of
better and more thrifty housewives
has dawned. Food control has taught
them to be more self-contained.
Women have come to know the value
Of homegrown foods-to appreciate
the fruit and vegetables of their own
backwards and the fish caught in Ca
madam waters. 1t is questionable if
one woman out of ten could have es-
timated a fortnight's food supply in
advance for her household before the
food restrictions caused her to figure
1t all out and put her housekeeping
on a business basis. Better shopping
methods. more first-hand buying, more
evenly balanced meals, kcener sense
OF food values and better health have
all come in the wake of women's
efforts TO comply with the Food
Boards rulings and requests"
