Mrs. Bowser!''
1t was Mr.. Bowser WHO spoke, and
in such deep, bass voice as made the
Piano tremble on its legs.
Mrs Bowser looked up inquiringly.

He had accepted story and sent
check for $50 in payment. Do you
know any young lady named-Jean
Carew?"
'Why--why, was going to tell you
all about it" said Mrs. BOwser. ''The
editor of the magazine said he wanted

one to suit him, and so sat down and

"Why, Mr.. BOwser. you talk very
strange" exclaimed Mrs. BOwser.
"TlAe editor of the magazine Is sup

is bad. He thought this story Of mine
good enough to publish, and was worth
the check he sent me. I don't praise it
much myself, but I don't think you
ought to condemn it as you do. Mrs.
Green and two other ladies read 1t,

Care Of PeonIAa.

If you want big crop Of peonles
next spring, prepare for it right now.
These plants are heavy feeders, but
they don't like fresh manure. Prob
ably the best fertilizer to use is bone
meal. A handful is none too much
for each large plant, and should be
WORKED lightly into the soil around the
roots. Unless 1t happens to be q
wet season, peonies are benefited
greatly by mulch Of straw or grass
clippings, and this mulch should be,
several inches deep. It will keep the
ground cool and moist without the
necessity of forking 1t over. Don't
try to divide your peonies now. Sep
TENDER is the one month for doing fhin
work.

Aged Man Tells His Story.
DAILY Mail, Sept. 13.)

That Walter Allen, when he mur-
dered his wife and mother-in-la
yesterday morning in Orr Mill viii
lage and then committed suicide, did
only part Of what he had planned is
tho statement Of w. r. Lanier, of
pear Old Stone Church, who came to
Anderson this morning. Mr.. Lanier
stated that Allen had told him Of his
intention to kill out the whole fam
lily, including
Mrs. Alice McAlister, his. mother
in-law.
Mrs. Sally Allen, his wife.
Jim McAlister, his brother-in-law
Nora Allen, his stcp-daughter.
Mrs. Allen, his mother.
Mr. Lanier came to Anderson this
morning and told OF Aliens coming
to his home one night about two
weeks ago, and told him that he was
going to kill out the whole family.
He came to Lanier's Mouse armed
with two pistols, and declared that
he was going to kill the whole lot Of
them.
What might have been an attempt
to put tho five-way murder plot into
execution Was enacted Wednesday OF
last week when Allen came to An
derson to see his wife. He met her
as sho was on the way to the cotton
mill, and told her that he had come
to take her home. This information
was furnished by jim McAllister, who
was at home at the time.
"My sister was going to tho mill
with my wife," he said, 'and l was
at home eating breakfast. Allen
drove UP and met them and told his
wife that he wanted her to 60 back
with him. She refused him, telling
him that she had tried him before
and that sho would not return.
Well, which would you rather
do-go back to Greenville with me
CT dic?' he asked her.
ia die FIRST, jim McAll1S.er
says his sister told him.
about that time the whistle blew
and my wife and sister came on back
to tho house. He came on there just
a little later, and then went out on
tho front porch. AS he drove of he
told me to tell Sally he was coming
back"

came to Anderson this morning. She
was with Mr." Lanier when he told Of

J. STATE. y.
+ j. 4 i IL !. !. !. !. !. !. !.

Greenville, Sept. 11.-Editor Keo-
wee Courier: Will you allow me a
little space nlyour splendid paper to
say few words for the good Of our
State-for the good Of those who are
now mature, those who are young
and those yet unborn?
During the last ninety days we
have heard great deal about the
enforcement Of the laws. We have
heard candidates pledging them
selves 10 enforce laws if elected. We
have heard newspapers urging the
people to vote for the candidate who
would enforce the laws, and we have
heard the "dear people" themselves
saying that they intended to vote
for the man who, in their estimation,
would enforce the fQws. The election
| will be over by the time this is pub
lished, but are we going to promptly
forget to display further interest in
the enforcement Of the laws? Is the
enforcement Of law to be classed
amongst the light campaign pledges
or amongst the vote-getting cam
paign issues?
Without laws life and property
would be hopelessly insecure and
would be wasted without con-
science or fear by those Of crimi-
nal bent. Laws and the enforcement
OF laws spells security and freedom.
There could be no independence
without laws for the government OF
all and the restraining Of those who
have within themselves no regard
for the rights Of others. Instead Of
robbing our people Of their liberties,
just laws, properly enforced, consti-
tuto the only guarantee Of our liber-
ties. Cannot we, therefore, continue
our campaign for enforcement Of
laws? Cannot wo now practice what
we have heard preached for tho last
ninety days? 1t would make our State
q much better place in which to live,
both for ourselves and those who arc
TO be the South Carolinians Of the
future.
,All citizens must take hand and
display q practical interest. The press
must get squarely behind the issue
and our ministers Of the Gospel must
devote some Of their time to the
work themselves and instructing
members Of their nocks in the mat
ter. When the law Is being violated
as it Is to-day around every corner,
on every brook, in every patch Of
woods-yes, even In many homes
1t Is impossible for the officers of the
law to discover all violators so long
as they are unassisted by the public.
The officers can mako the arrests.

AT THE ORR MILLS.
Walter Allen Kills Wifc and Her Mo.
thor and Then Shoots Himself. =.

Anderson, Sept. 12.--Mrs. Alice
McAlister and her daughter, Mrs.
Walter Allen, are dead, and Walter
Allen Is dying as the result of an
early morning tragedy at Orr Mill,
mill village near this city.
The two women were shot ana
killed as they sat at the breakfast
table by the husband of the younger
woman, who turned into an adja-
cent room and fired shot into his
own body At o'clock he was lying
on the floor of the bedroom in which
he fell, still living, but despaired of
by the doctors. Domestic troubles
are thought to have been the cause
Of the triple tragedy.
First accounts Of the tragedy do
not include the statement Of an eye
witness to the killing, but neighbors
who reached the homo Immediately
after the shots were fred say that
the husband entered the house and
demanded to know where his gun
was hidden. Upon being told by his
wife that she did not know where his
pistol was, he Is said to have de-
manded in a gruff voice:
well, what are you going to do
about it,"
With that he whipped out a re-
volver and fired first at Mrs. Alice
McAlster, killing her with bullet
through the heart He then fired up
or his wife, Mrs. Sallie McAlster Al
next room and fired bullet into his
own body.
Family Disscnsion the Cause.
The tragedy this morning comes
as the culmination of Il long string
OF events which have wrecked the
happiness of the home Of Walter AL
len. Speaking to the brother of Mrs.
Allen, James McAlister, this mora
ing the reporters learned ihat his
sister had como home to Anderson
about two weeks ago and That she
had Separated from her husband.
He, had always been mean to
her" said Mr.. McAlister, "and two
weeks ago she and her little daugh-
ter came home to mothers to be
away from him. This was the first
time they had been separated He
had abused and ill-treated her until
she was forced to leave him.
81 don't know just exactly how
the, thing happened. l had gone to
work in the mill when the shooting
occurred, and he was lying there on
the floor when reached home after
hearing the news. My wife, think,
was in the room when the trouble
started, and think she saw the
whole Of 1t.
"All know is that he just came
here this morning some time and
shot and killed them both"
