ANOTHER KING BEE

Col. S. J. Wakefield, of Antre-
vile, was here Wednesday. He in
forms US that real estate is about to
take another big advance. He has
just traded the place he bought for
a home and where he was about to
build, and has bought another place
where he now thinks of building,
but things will be SO lively in few
weeks that he fears he will not get
started at any early date. He has
laid in a full supply of all varieties
of land for the July boom and is
ready for the boys. He bears about
the same relation to land that Dale
Barksdale does to cotton-he is a
regular "bull association" in him.

MORE REAL ESTATE
CHANGES HANDS
Southeastern Realty Co. Sell The
Cromer Property on South Main
Street-Graves House on
Ferry Street Sold

Yesterday was another day for the
traders in real estate, three separate
sales being held in the city by the
Southeastern Realty Co.
The first sale was of the lots be.
longing to S. F. "I-Golly" Cromer on
South Main street near the Abbeville
cotton mill. There were quite num-
Der of these lots sold, the principal
buyers being R. W. Smith, D. H. Hill,
B. T. Cochran and Roger Simpson, j.
S. and J. H. McClinton.
The Realty Company had bargain
ed with Mr.. Cromer for rne entire
property but upon their request Mr..
Cromer released them and the sale
was held on a purely commission ba-
sis. All of the sales have peen rati-
fled by the owner except that of one
lot purchased by John F. Sutherland.
BY error this lot, a part OF which had
been given by Mr.. Cromer for a
street, was knocked down with the
others.
The Graves property on Ferry st.
was the second property sold. The
dwelling house was purchased by T.
G. White and DR.. G. E. Calvert for
$5,315, and Mike Kustas, T. J Douth-
art and w. A. Calvert were largest
purchasers of the lots adjoining.
The property on Washington street
including the Hellespont apartment
house, was the last put up but no
bids were sufficiently attractive for
the "king of the Greeks" TO ratify
the sale.

SENATOR LODGE
IS CHAIRMAN
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN OF
REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS
WINS ON FIRST BALLOT
OVER BEvERIDcE AND Nc.
CoRNAcKt- JOHNSON AND
WOOD MANAGERS SATISFIED

Chicago, June 8.-Senator
Lodge, temporary chairman of the
Republican national convention,
was selected today by the commit
tee on permanent organization as
permanent chairman and his name
will be presented tomorrow to the
convention for approval.
There were three nominations
for the place and Senator Lodge
was named on the first ballot over
Former Senator Beveridge, Of
Indiana, and Senator Mccormick of
Illinois. The vote was: Lodge, %;
Geveridge, 9; Mccormick, z. On
motion of the Illinois member the
recommendation was made unani-
nous.
The remainder of the temporary
organization was recommended for
permanent service without oppo-
sition.
No Speech Making
Senator Lodge was placed in
nomination by William Barnes, of
New York; Mr.. Beveridge by Gov
ernor Goodrich, of Indiana, and
Senator Mccormick by Lieut.. Gov
ernor Oglesby of Illinois. No speech
making followed the nominations.
The real job of framing the re-
publican platform was entrusted to-
night to a resolutions subcommit-
tee of thirteen while the full COM
mittee of fifty-three appointed by
the convention was conducting
public hearing for all those who had
suggestios to offer.
Senator Watson, of Indiana, over
wEelmingly elected chairman of the
committee earlier in the day, fol-
lowed the usual custom and as
sumed also the craftsmanship of the
subcommittee. Among the other
members named by him were Sem
ator Borah, of Idaho, who wants a
plank rejecting entirely the league
of nations; Governor Beckman, of
Rhode Island, who has publicly OBJ
jected to too much senatorial con-
troll in the convention and Ogden L.
Mills, of New York, who headed
Chairman Hays policies committee
of I'll.
Although the leanings of some of
the members has not been revealed
it was said an effort had been made
to make the subcommittee repre-
sentatives of all the extremes Of
Republic opinion, particularly on
the still unsolved treaty issue.
The Wood forces are elated TO-
night, although the general trend OF
the talk among the oldtime politi-
clans is toward Lowden. They won
a victory in the principal business
transacted.
Instructed Wood delegates won
the two most important committee
chairmanships-Senator Watson, of
Indiana, for resolutions, and Ed
ward D. Dufield, of New Jersey,

Mr.. Armes is a forceful speaker
and outlined concisely the organi-
cation and plans of the South

old S. C. Land Owners association,
which had been formed some years
previous.
The board has assumed eighteen
commissions which include practi-
cally every activity looking to the
advancement of the Palmetto state
in all fields. The slogan of the board
is 'Do it For South Carolina"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Armes
address the chairman for Abbeville
Coutny, Joel S. Morse, appointed a
committee to further the organiza-
tion in this county.
This will be the executive COM
mittee to cooperate with Mr.. Morse
in arranging for meetings next
week when speakers will explain
reasons that prompted the organiza-
tion of the South Carolina Develop
ment Board. This committee will al
so assist in the selection of team
captains and team workers to solicit
members during the drive, the week

cipal speakers. This meeting will

lowed by another at Due West.

paign in Due West. Those on this
committee are Mr.. J. P. Pressly,

BRoTHER-soNS OF JAS. MAN
MING OF CALHOUN FALLS.
Firing five shots from his pistol in
to the breast of his brother, James
H. Manning, C. L. Manning of Lown'
desville, killed his younger brother
who was living with him, about noon
Monday. After the killing Charlie
Manning sent for magistrate j. G.
Huckabee and surrendered to him.
The report of the killing received
from Calhoun Falls, where James
Manning, the father of the parties
lives, states that there had been some
trouble and hot words between the
brothers at the Falls Saturday. Just
what led up to the killing is not
known.
Jim Manning, who was killed, has
been living with his brother, who kill
ed him, for some time and was work
ing a crop for him. They both visited
Calhoun Falls Saturday, Z. L. Man.
ming returning to his home near
Lowndesville, while jim remained at
Calhoun Falls over Sunday. The lat
ter did not return to WORK at all Mon
day morning, but it is alleged, did re-
turn about noon that day, and when
Charlie Manning came with his
mule from the field, met him on the
front porch of the Manning home
with chair drawn back to strike
him. Charlie Manning wrested the
chair from his hands as an overhead
blow was aimed at him and threw the
chair into the yard. 1t is further al
, legged that Jim, then picking up a
loose brick lying in the front walk,
drew it back, exclaiming 20 Charlie,
"G--d-you, I am going to kill
YOU" Charlie Manning testifes that
it was when this statement was made
by his brother, who had the brick
drawn on him, that he fired the fatal
shots.
The first persons to reach the scene
of the fratricide were Paul Waters
and W. B. Crocker who testified at
the coroner's inquest that they had
heard the pistol shots fired and the
voices of children crying at the Man
ming home. They ran in that direction
and met two of Charlie Sianning's
:nildren, crying, and saw the body
of Jim Manning lying dead on the
front porch, and Charlie sitting on
the front steps. They also testify that
Charlie Manning told them he had
killed Jim but that he had not done
so until it became necessary in order
to save his own life.
DR.. Thos. o. Kirkpatrick, who per
formed the autopsy, testifes that
he found five separate pistol wounds,
one in each shoulder, and three in the
breast any one of the last three suf-
fcient to cause death.
The coroner's jury, Of which E. o
Clinkscales was foreman, rendered a
verdict yesterday that deceased was
killed as result OF pistol shot
wounds received from the hands of
his brother, Charlie l.. Manning.
Application was made before Judge
Frank B. Gary here this morning and
bail was granted, a $1,000 bond hav-
ing been given by Manning.
Charlie Manning is a man Of fam
lily, having married some years ago,
a Miss Waters, daughter of John
Waters, of Lowndesville. Mrs. Man
ning's brother, Lester Waters, was
drowned with eight others when the
ferry boat overturned in the Savan-
nah river in April last. Jim Manning
was unmarried.

Interesting Lecture in Prospect.

Shepherdstown friends can look
forward to treat in the near future in
an illustrated lecture on the Philippine
Islands by the talented wife Of the
Commissioner from the Philippines to
the United States, Mrs. Jamie c. de
Neyra, who is herself a Filipino and
most charming and attractive person.
The Commission has come to this coun-
try for the promoting of mutual &C
quaintance and good feeling, and is
made up of a large body of the most
representative citizens Of the Philip
pines, headed by Nj. de Veyra. ana
SHepherdstown is very fortunate in be-
ing included in the other important
places in this country to obtain a free
lecture on these more than interesting
colonies, as perhaps we should call
them.
We hope that when our fellow-citl-
zens from across the Pacific return 10
their island paradise, as the Philippines
have been called, they will be able 10
treasure in their recollections as hav-
ing had a most warm and cordial hear
ing in Shepherdstown. Be sure and
let nothing interfere with a pleasant
evening spent in getting acquainted
with these marvellous islands and their
delightful people-peoplc who are
linked to us by the strong chain of
mutual good feeling and mutual re-
spect. The pictures are said to be the
finest ever and will be shown some
where near the twentieth of May. II
before another Register comes out, the
notice will be in the postoffice. SO
don't miss it. Let us come one and
all and make new friends and rejoice
in the good will and good feeling that
is still to be found in this old world.
and which will, we trust, be the order Of
the future. ID.
