MEN SH0T.J0D DEATH
IN DOUBLE TRAGEDY
BENJAMIN HALLE SHOOTS M.
GOODE HOMES AND TAKES
OWN LIFE-TROUBLE OCCURS
IN ADMINISTRATION BUILD
ING AT UNIVERSITY.

Columbia, May TN. Goode
Homes. head of the school of engi-
neering of the University of South
Carolina, was shot and killed Satur-
day morning about 1910 o'clock IN
an office adjoining the ~treasurer's
office in DeSaussure college on the
university campus by Benjamin Halle
superintendent of grounds and of
buildings at the university. Mr. Halle,
a few minutes later, went into the
treasurer's office and turned the
weapon upon himself. There were
no eyewitnesses to the murder nor to
the suicide.
Last night the inquest was held at
the court house by Coroner Scott and
after hearing considerable testimony
the jury brought in a. verdict to the
effect that Professor Homes came to
his death from gunshot wounds in
hicted at the hands of Benjamin
Halle while the latter was TEMPORARY
ly insane. 1t also brought in a ver-
dict to the effect that Mr.. Halle came
to his death from a self-inficted
wound, inflicted while temporarily
insane.
Both Professor Homes and Mr..
Halle were popular with the student
body; knew hundreds of the alumni
of the institution in Columbia and
over the State, and both have wide
family connections. Hardly in the
history of the university had the in
stitution been so stunned by an event.
There were no ey~ewitnesses to the
tragedy, this fact being clearly
brought out at the inquest and what
Immediately preceded the shooting of
Professor Homes in the small Office
adjoining the treasurer's Office will
never be known; whether words or
blows passed between the men, who
were known to have bitter feeling of
long standing against each other, a
not be ~ascertained, though DR.. Oscar
LaBorde, who examined the bodies
testified at the inquest that Mr. Homes
"had a scratch on the right ear and
the right cheek" Mr.. Halle, he testi-
fed had fired straight into his right
ear and no other injuries were noted
by the examining physician on the
body of Mr.. Halle.
Soon after the bodies Of the two
men had been taken from the build
ing, DR.. W. S. Currell, president of
the university, issued a statement in
which he told of the shooting as he
knew of it and in giving a cause for
the tragedy he said, "There had long
been bitter feeling between the two
men growing out of their conflicting
duties at the university" Again at
the inquest last night it was said
by several persons examined that the
feeling between the two men was one
of bitterness.

CALOMEL SALIVATES

You know what colonel Is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver Calomel Is danger
Gus. 1t crashes into sour bile like dy-
Mantle, cramping and siclIening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilionus, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle OF Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your. liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the chill
dren because 1t is perfectly harmless
and can not salivate.-Advertisem

EMPIRE TIRE HAS
SPLENDID RECORD
Put In More Than Year and Half Service
Without Having to Be VulcanIzed.

Many automobile tires have excellent
records for durability, but the one on dis
lay in the window of Watson Parker and
Reese's store has an exceptionally fine
one, and one that is not often equaled.
It is an Empire cord and has a record
Of having put in IS months and 81 days
service on a one-ton Republic truck OPP
Grated by Borras Transfer Company.
During this time the tire carried besides
the weight of the truck a total of 2,848, DOL
pounds, according to an accurate record
kept by the Borras Transfer people. The
total number OF miles which the tire
was driven was 1885. During the year
and one-half which it was used the tire
was punctured only six times, and es-
capped entirely without a blowout, rim
cut, or without having to be vulcanized.
This is an exceptional record for QUAR-
bility and speaks well for the manufac-
turers.

A CARD OF THANKS.

The many kindnesses which we have
received during our recent bereavement
have been greatly appreciated. We never
knew so we'll before the depth and the ex-
tent of human sympathy. The friends of
our loved one were many. They covered
his grave with an abundance of beau
tiful flowers. They showered upon US
kilograms. letters and resolutions from
every part of the state-aH expressing
sympathy for US and the high esteem in
which he was held. Close to his heart
lay the welfare of Florida schools. The
rural schools felt this interest in them
and they too remembered him.
To all who have in any way spoken OF
him kindly we wish to express our heart
felt thanks. We who knew him best and
loved him best find your praise of him a
source of comfort in our great afflic-
ton.

think it fair to assess it at any such
valuation.
The board took the matter under
advisement and will report at a later

SURETY co MAN
IS INVITED TO
MAKE ADDRESS
Chamber OF Commerce Invites Vice
President National Club Here

Among the matters taken up at the
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon was an address
which will be made by Fred N. Whitney,
resident vice president of the National
Surety Company, New York, who will
talk on matters of national interest.
Mr.. Whitney will be invited to address
| the Chamber of Commerce at an early
date, and while in Pensacola, will also
talk before the Kiwanis and Rotary
Clubs.
Water Pollution
The commercial body also decided
to take up the matter of water pollu-
ton from the oil which is wasted in
the harbor, not only being injurious to
the fish in the bay but also being
looked upon as a fire menace.
The Chamber of Commerce took this
action in response to several urgent
letters, calling attention to this prac-
tice, and have taken up the matter
with all coast towns in this state, ask
ing that their Chambers Of Commerce
take Joint action in overcoming this
practice.
The idea of the Chambers of Com
merce of the state, who have inaugu-
rated this movement, is to advocate
the payment of a salary sufficient to
the game and fish warden of the state,
to efficiently look out for the preser-
walton of the fish in the water of the
coast citeis.
Menace On Coast.
The matter, which is proving mem
ace in many coast cities throughout
the United States, will be taken up at
the meeting of the National Chamber
of Commerce, in Atlantic City, when it
will be discussed from a national
standpoint. The Pensacola Chamber
of Commerce will not have a repre-
sentative at this meeting but will ad-
vocate some movement to stop the
practice, and will assure the body Of
their cooperation.
