Florence
is Easy Meat

The Sumter Gamecocks contin-
ued their string Of straight VIC
tories yesterday by defeating Flor
ence by the score CT seven to five.
The first few innings all went Sum
ter's way and it looked as if Flor
ence would be shut out. Three
scores were checked up to Sumter's
credit at the end of the first in
ming and she added to this so that
at the end of the fifth inning Sum-
ter had six scores. In the first in
ming the first man up for Sumter
got clean single and Shealy up
next put the bali over the center
field fence for home run and also
winning five dollars by putting the
ball over the sign put up by Booth
& Mcleod to encourage heavy
hitting. Carlson pitching for sum-
ter pitched a wonderful game for
Sumter until the seventh inning
when he seemed to blow up and
the Florence batters hit him al
most at will. Florence brought in
four runs in this inning by heavy
hitting and added another run to
their list in the eighth. Things
began to look bad for Sumter but
she made another run in the eighth
putting her two runs ahead Of Flor-
ence. No one scored in the ninth
and the game ended in victory for
Sumter making the fourth consecu-
tive win for the Gamecocks.
Today Sumter meets Florence
again in the last game of the sea-
son and the fans will have one
more chance to see Luther pitch.
This Will. Very likely. be Luther $

as he leaves for Chicago next year

fans are urged - turn out for this
last game and give til" team and
promoter the necessary support.

Shot Himself
Through Head
Greenville Man Was Too
Careless With Pistol

Greenville, Sept. 11.-As his.
wife was in the act Of warning him
to be careful with a revolver which
he held to his head, Sam Shelton,
&c. bookkeeper Of this city, blew
his brains out at the house in
which he lived on River street here
this afternoon. Young Shelton
had been exhibiting the pistol to
some friends that were spending
the day with him and had Offer
ed to sell the weapon to one Of
them and when he became careless
in handling the pistol, he was
warned to be careful. He then
unbreeched the pistol and, as he
thought, all OF the cartridges fell
out. 1t was then that he held the
weapon to mis- temple. apparently
to demonstrate that there Wa: no
harm in it, and, pulling the trigger
shot himself through the head
with the one cartridge that remain
ed in the chamber. His wife, hav-
ing heard the warning Of his
friends. stopped at door and as she
begged him to be careful the fatal
shot was fired. Young Shelton
lived about As minutes after he was
shot, though the bullet went clear
through his head, spattered MS
brains on the floor and lodged IN
the wall beyond. He never regain

Former Football J.
aStar Found Dead
Handouts on Wrist, Small.
Rope Around Neck and
Head Almost Severed

Chicago. Sept. 9.-The body of
Bernard ]. Dougherty, who was
chosen as an all-American end by
Walter Camp, when he played on
the Harvard football team in 1901
and 1902, was found manacled and
mangled in the Desplaines river
near Chicago this morning. Carl

Car company. is missing and II. w.

expensive motor car yesterday, is

A pair of handouts were at
tached to one of Dougherty's wrists,
a small rope was twisted about his
throat and the head had been al
most severed from the body.
Yesterday Dougherty undertook
to deliver an automobile to Church,
who said he was buying it for his
father. He asked to be driven to a
bank so that he could obtain a
certified check to pay FOR the ma
chine. Dougherty, accompanied by
Ausmus, driver and followed
by another car which was to return
them to the salesrooms, soon after
the transaction had been complet-
ed, started out with Church.
The two machines became sepa-
rated and the second drove alone
to the bank and waited. The driver
finally became impatient and en-
tered the bank to look for Dough-
erty. When he returned he found
a note tied to the steering wheel
telling him to return to the shops
and signed with Dougherty's name.
According to officials Of the COM
pany, this note was not in Dough
erty's handwriting.
Neighbors told of seeing Church
drive up to his home in the car
accompanied by two men. The
three were said to have entered the
house, which is a two-story apart
ment building, the lower floor be-
ing occupied by Church and his
mother. No one has been found
who could remember seeing the two
automobile men leave, but several
hours later Church took the car TO
