Breaking it Gently.

At an amateur performance an ar
tiste gave limitations of several popu-
lar actors, one of whom happened to
be present.
Afterwards the ambitious amateur
sought an introduction to the 'star,
and asked hopefully:
did you see my imitation of you?"
Il did," replied the great man,
promptly.
"Then sir" persisted the aspiring
youth, may I ask you to give me
your opinion of me as shown In

did make some statement about being
on their way to church, but after
something had been said about going
to church any time the car was then
driven on into the country.
The officers were practically ex-
hausted when they placed the men
behind the bars here last night. They
had not been to bed for 4S hours, con-
tinually on the go and under the high
est tension.
The error in arresting the wrong
men at first was wholly incident to
the excitement of brother and moth
er of one of the girls, who mistook
the name Gossett for Wallace. Be-
ing informed that the assailant OF
one of the girls was named Wallace,
and a young man from Greensboro
being in Abbeville that day by the
name Of Wallace with another young
man set up string of circumstancial
evidence which wholly misled the Off
GERS.
One of the Gossett boys said last
night that the car they were driving
Sunday afternoon was one stolen in
Columbia last Saturday morning and
identified in Honea Path Monday
morning by description carried in
The State last Sunday. The car be-
longed to L. S. Earle, of Blythewood,
and has since been returned. A Co
lumbia boy was implicated in the
stealing Of the car.

LEONARD JORDAN KILLED.
Colleton Boy Killed in Far Off Cali
fornia by Bullet of Jealous Man.

Leonard NJ. Jordan, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. S. Jordan, of Lodge, was shot
to death at Los Angeles, California,
Sunday, March 7th, by Charles Orr,
who then committed suicide, accord
ing to a story appearing under a
Washington date line in the News
and Courier. Mentioned in connec-
ton with the killing is the name of a
former Colleton girl, now Mrs. Bes-
sic Kelly, who is daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. T. R. Risher, of the Provi-
dence section. The affair is shrouded
in mystery.
Young Jordan had many friends
and relatives in this county who will
regret to learn of his tragic death.
His body will be brought to this coun-
ty for interment, and the story of the
tragedy learned. Mr.. Jordan has re-
ceived brief kilograms and cannot
give any information as to his sons
death. Much sorrow is felt over the
unfortunate affair.
The following is the news story
appearing in the News and Courier:
Washington, March 12.-Leonard
NJ. Jordan, of Lodge, Colleton coun-
ty, S. c., who was chief machinist
in the United States navy, was killed
last Sunday at Los Angeles, Cal.,
while on leave from the U. S. S.

over Bessie Kelly, an old friend of
Jordan's, took the South Carolin-
ian's life and Immediately thereafter
committed suicide.
The body of Jordan will be sent to
Lodge by the government.-Walter-

sible for a mans nerves to be derang-
ed from service in active fighting,
and that it might impair mans
mind.
Wayne Sandifer testified that he
saw the two men together twice the
day of the shooting and that they ap-
peared friendly. After the shooting
witness went to the engine room and
picked up gun wadding and saw
where shot had struck the tool house.
The conditions he saw indicated that
O'Quinn must have been sitting down
and that Warren must have been
standing on an elevation.
S. A. Gardner, foreman of the En-
bree mill at the time, testified that
O'Quinn was engineer and that War
rem was sort of general utility man,
whose duties carried him over the
mill. He saw them together sew
eral times during the day apparent
ly friendly, and that on one occasion
O'Quinn was smiling. During the
day Warren told him he was going
to quit working at the mill; that he
could not work with O'Quinn, who
had mistreated his siste1 On satur-
day previous Warren had told him
his sister was to be married the next
day. Tuesday Warren told him
O'Quinn did not show up for the we'd
ding; that he had hunted O'Quinn
Sunday to kill him; that he did not
come to work Monday because he
was afraid he could not control him
Self, but that Tuesday he thought he
could meet him. After the shooting
O'Quinn had told witness Warren
shot him. The wounds indicated that
the shots ranged downward.
d. P. Babson said he was standing
across the canal when he heard the
two shots fired in the mill, the last
one sounding less loud than the first.
He went to the mill and met Warren
on the way, who said he mad shot
O'Quinn; telling witness to go and
take the gun off O'Quinn. Later he
saw o'Quinn, but saw nothing of
a weapon on him.
This ended the main testimony on
behalf of the state. None Of the wit
nesses testified that pistol was seen
or found on the deceased.
Wimberly Bessinger was the first
witness for the defense. He told of a
conversation he had with Earl
O'Quinn about ten days before the
shooting, in which O'Quinn told him
it was reported he was going to mar
ry Miss Ellen Warren, but that he
was not, and made slurring remarks
about her to the witness, who told
Warren what he had heard on Mon
day before the shooting.
The defendant, Hancy R. Warren,
took the. stand next. He told in a
manner that impressed his hearers as
being very candid his entire story,
and did not make any attempt to con-
ceal the fact that he meant to have
satisfaction from O'Quinn, and that if
he failed to give him the proper sat-
isfaction, which was to take his sister
out of disgrace, that he intended to
kill him. The defendant served in
the world war, and was engaged in
some of the big battles on the western
front, but he was not permitted to
go into details of his service in the
army. He returned home and took

MORE ACRES WHEAT
At STANFORD THIS
YEAR THAN BEFORE
Mercantile Man Says Despite the
Seed Shortage Acreage Is
Greatest Ever Known.

Farmers in the country adjacent to
Stanford will this year harvest the lar
gest acreage of wheat ever grown III
that territory Growers were fortunate
last fall in getting in a big percentage
of their prepared land sown 10 winter
wheat, but it was by planting greater
amount of spring wheat than formerly
that the total acreage was brought above
normal according to r. G. Frisbie. man
ager of the Stanford Mercantile COM
pany. 1t is Mr.. Frisbies belief that In
view of conditions now showing the pre-
diction can be safely made that the west
Judith basin country will next fall mar
ket more wheat than any other prev
ious year.
The seed problem which nearly all
farmers found themselves confronted
this spring was the greatest obstacle
in the way of increasing the acreage, and
that this handicap was entirely over
come may be accepted as coclusIye proof
of the countrys recuperatiye powers and
of the obiding faith which the people
have in Montana's future as an agricul-
tural state.
Early in the spring it did not seem
possible that any more than small per-
centage of the farmers would be able TO
get seed wheat Mr.. Frisbie said, but
now that the planting season is over we
know that with one or two exceptions
everyone secured all the seed they need
ed. | know of only one man whose ac-
reage is smaller than he expected to
SOW, but at that be will harvest more
than 1000 acres. Where the money all
came from after three years of drouth
and after we apparently exhausted our
resources in buying hay during the win
ter is something of mystery, but 1t was
secured is certain. The history made in
the Judith basin this spring should be
sufficient to forever dispel any doubt as
to the confidence the people have in
their territory.
Both winter and spring wheat are
showing up splendidly now and condit-
ions approximating the average during
the remainder of the season vii inquest
ionably give us big crop. Spring plant
ing was delayed to an extent by the
| weather. but it was all sown in good sea-
s0nand has every opportunity to mature.
| Winter wheat came through without
winter killing and is now showing up as
well as could be desired"
Mr.. Frisbie states that everyone in
! the Judith basin is greatly interested IN
the coming division election and in the
campaign that is just getting under way
with several towns which will enter the
race for county seat honors.

A Man COd-Size

From out of this state of strife and hate,
From out of earth's noise and fuss,
There will yet arise a man God-size
Who will stand for the whole OF u.s.
Our ears sore with the noise and roar
Of the partialist's rant and fuss,
Who stands TO rhis class and not for
the mass,
For the whole big bunch of us.
In childhoods day we were taught to
pray
To one who was father of all,
Who strengthened the weak, protected
the meek.
And noticed the sparrow's fall.
We were told of a man, wonderful
man,
The greatest this earth ever trod,
Who told each man whatever his clan
To measure himself with God.
So we wait today and deeply pray
In the midst of earth's noise and fuss,
For man to arise, in love God-size,
In the heart of each one of us.
