A 5000 cLAMBAKE.

("The Tattler'' in New London Day.
The mammoth clambake provided
by Con Leary for the Shriners at Os-
wegatchie last Saturday is worth more
notice than the passing mention
made Of it by the newspapers. 1t is
no small stunt to prepare successfully
a clambake for 1900 persons, espe-
cially clambake of the extra fine
kind built by the steward of the
Thames Club. It not only requires
large force of men and careful buy
ing, but a lot of head work to make
everything come out at the right time
A big tent was erected in an open lot
near the Oswegatchie House, one of
the Barnum & Bailey kind. Thirty
barrels of bake ingredients were pre-
pared, that is, thirty individual bakes
one barrel for each Of thirty tables.
Each table was calculated to accom-
modate forty people, and that made
the total number served at once just
1900. A barrel was brought to the
head of each table and the contents
dumped out, and two men served
the steamed clans, chicken, fish, sau-
sages, sweet and regular potatoes
and green corn. Eighty-fve were en-
ployed in all capacities. Although the
illustrious potentate of Connecticut
and his immediate court were little
late, the time was used to advantage

KILLS WIFE ON HIGHWAY

p. Laurens, Sept. ~6.-After killing
his wife by shooting her dead in the
public road near the Huff place, in
the lower part Of Sullivan township,
Friday night, George C. Smith, ne
gro, Immediately rode to the home
Of N. B. Wood, magistrate Of Sulli-
vans township and surrendered him.
self and requested the officer take
him at once to the county jail at
Laurens. Accompanied by the ne
gro's landlord, J. q. Carlisle, Mr..
Wood brought Smith to the city be-
fore daylight. and delivered him to
the sheriff.
It is stated that Smiths wife had
gone to church some six or seven
miles with other parties, two negro
men and a negro woman, after Smith
had warned her to go, it is alleged.
Borrowing a horse from Mr. Carlisle
Smith is said to have followed the
party and met hem coming back to-
ward home. Riding up to the buggy
he ordered her to dismount and as
she stepped out in. the road he delib-
erately fired on her, one Of the shots
piercing the heart, killing her in
stantly. She fell over into a side
ditch. The party and Smith drove
away, leaving the body where it lay
until some time Saturday, when the
inquest was held by Coroner Owings.

THE INCREASE OF SUICIDE.

Is a4suicide Fwayep sweeping over
the country? The extraordinary in
crease in the number Of cases Of self
destruction during the first half OF
the present year points to some pecu-
liar cause. According to the figures
Of the Save-a-Life League, there were
$500 suicides during this period as
compared with 2,771 in the first six
months of 1920. The number Of males
taking their lives rose from 1910 to
4,527 and the number of children
from 225 to 5o7. : 80
That the number Of suicides
should more than double in year is
an alarming social phenomenon. Is
the indicated cheapness Of human life
a reaction to the wars memories be-
come less fresh in mind?>- The in
crease of juvenile suicides and the
fact that the average age Of the male
suicides was forty-three years would
point to some other compelling mo-
tive. No doubt the business depres-
sion and loss of work were important
factors.
So many conflicting impulses en-
ter into suicide that deductions as
to causes are difficult. But there is
no question about the lamentable
fact Of the sudden access of self
slaughter. And most painful of all is
the revelation of juvenile despond-
ency shown in the great increase OF
suicides of boys and girls. Something
is radically wrong with conditions Of
life somewhere when 507 children
commit suicide in six months.-New
York World.

GUN FALLS; FARMER WOUNDED
Thos.f T. Hane, Of Fl. Motto, Victim
- OF Accident.

St. Matthews, Sept. S.-While at.

which had been bothering the chick
ems around his home, Thomas T. .Hane
of Fort Motto, accidentally received
gunshot wound this afternoon
which instantly. ended his life.
Mr.. Hane had finished his noon
meal and was resting at his home. A
member of the family called to him
that q hawk which had been giving
trouble in the chicken yard was again
making a raid. Mr.. Hane took up his
automatic gun and started out in
quest Of the hawk. After having
searched for some time he did not
end the hawk and evidently decided
that he would go over to the home of
W. C. Hane; .Jr., only few hundred
feet away. No ene saw him when he
attempted to cross the board fence
but from the position in which he
was found it seemed that he had
mounted the gate to climb over and
that the gun had slipped from his
hand and fallen on the ground. the
explosion being caused by the impact
with the ground. The load took effect
in the left side of the neck, severiug
the large artery and death being
almost instantaneous. When found,
his arms were hanging over the top
board and his feet were in. the open
ing between the first and second
boards and the gun lying on the
ground.
A few moments after the explosion
of the gun was heard, one of his en-
ployes happened to be passing and
saw him. W. G. Hane, Jr., was at
once notified and was upon the scene
within few moments. but the wound
ed man. had expired. Mr.. Hane was
an expert with the gun, being one of
the most successful huntsmen in the
county. He was especially accurate
with the automatic gun and was
known always to handle it with ex-
ceptional care.

prominent planters Of Calhoun coun-
ty and was one Of the most genial
