Mother and Son Found Murdered.

Chicago, H., Jan. 22.-The decapi-
tated bodies Of Mrs. Margaret Tier
ney, 26 years old, and her 3-year-old
son Ralph, were found to-day in their
home. They had been murdered with
hatchet, which was found near the
bodies. The room had been tightly
closed and the gas turned on, but the
coroner said there was no doubt that
both mother and child were dead
long before the murderer fled. Pat
rick Tierney, Mrs. Tierney's husband,
is sought in connection with the dou-
BILE killing.
Ralph's body was tightly clasped
in his mothers arms and police think
that she was defending her child
from the murderer's attacks. The
hatchet apparently had been pur-
chased for the killing, as it was new
and still bore the price mark.
William Brennan, landlord Of the
building In which the Tierneys lived,
told the police that Tierney several
times had threatened Mrs. Tiernay.

DEATH CALLS POPE BENEDICT
Noted Prelate Succunbs to Pneumo-

Rome, Jan. 22.-Pope Benedict g
death occurred at 6 O'Clock this
morning.
The end had been expected for sew
eral hours. The attending physicians
and Cardinal Gasparri and other
members of the Pope's household
were present at the bedside.
From midnight all hope had been
.aaba9doned and Sat. 2, O'clock Dr. Bat

Lying IN State.
While the body Of Benedict XIV
lies in state in the throne room al
the vatican, with a constant process
sion Of princes Of the church, papal
emissaries, archbishops, priests and
other high dignitaries passing in ST.
lent tribute to the dead pontiff, the
Italian State, for the first time in the
history Of federated Italy, has off,
cially recognized a period Of mourn
ing for the Pope.
In view Of the long struggle be-
tween the state and the vatican, and
the noteworthy attempts Of Benedict
XIV to bring about an understanding
between the church and the govern
ment-as successfully instanced In
the resumption Of relations between
France and the Pope-the action of
the italian government is considered
significant in ecclesiastical and civil
quarters.
Cardinal Merry Del Val, who acted
as cardinal chamberlain during the
last few days Of the Pope's illness,
las been replaced by Cardinal Gas
parri. papal secretary of state. The
cardinal chamberlain Is vested with
all the papal authority in the interim
between the Pope's death and the
election Of his successor. He issues
no bulls or papal edicts. however,
for Benedict's seals have been broken
in order that no further acts may go
out under his name.
The call has been issued for tho
convening of the college Of cardinals,
and from every part Of the world
high church officials are fastening 20
Rome for the conclave. Already pre-
lates from various European coun-
tries are arriving.

SENATOR w. p. MASON WRITES
or Matters in tho General Assembly.
Nothing Of General Interest.

Columbia, Jan. 20, 1922.
Editor Keowee Courier:
AS you have been so nice to me by
sending me your paper while in Co
lumbia, desire to express my aDpre-
citation Of your kindness by furnish
ing you with some legislative mat
ters.
Nothing of special interest has as
yet passed the Senate. Several bills
have passed the House. They are tax
revenue bills--a bill to tax gasoline
two cents per gallon; q bill for tax
ing moving picture shows; also bill
calling for an inheritance tax, grad
uated, with certain exemptions.
The great question seems to be
How can we take care Of the educa-
tional interests Of the State at large
and at the same time lower taxes---
TO say nothing Of the good roads
movement? In my opinion, this can
not be done. If any one of my con-
stituents can see how 1t can be done
l wish he, she or they would let me
know. It will be information appre-
ciated by the General Assembly. I
will be glad to hear from any one
In regard to their views on this mat
ter. DO any want their home school
crippled or their roads to go un-
worked? II We ever do decide to pass
any legislation worth while at this
session, l will write you again and
let you know.
In my opinion, 1t is a bad time TO
change legislation, as everything else
seems tc he bad enough without do
Ing anything to make 1t worse. We
might legislate in haste and repent
at leisure. I think I will try to kill
bills at this session instead OF intro
ducing any bills. From what can
learn, we have more commissions
and commissioned salaried people
than we have money to pay them
with. Everybody wants more pay
and less work.
We had with us this week John +.
Craig, cashier Of the West Union
Bank. He was attending meeting
Of the Railroad Commission in the
Of getting a depot at West
Union. The Oconee delegation feels
honored by his presence.
The Railroad Commissioners have
promised to meet the town council
Of Seneca on Jan. 21st for the pur-
pose OF considering the putting in of
certain underpasses.
AS ever, Your servant,
w. P. Mason.

was engaged in conversation with a
friend, whom he met while out hunt

cha'"ed, the load entering his body
nea the heart. He lived only a very

doubly sad is that 1t is the second
tragic death in the family within
year, his step-mother having met her
death by jumping from moving au-

a bare outline. The details showed
careful planning and painstaking prep
aration Among them was group en-

Nations"
Among the other features were some
excellently executed drills and dances
by grade pupils
Aside from the credit due the pupil,
the success Of the big affair was du,
to the vision, skill and patience of Miss
Markham and Mrs Nespor.

AN APPEAL

sFill you open your heart and your
home for two weeks this summer to
some little undernourished youngster
who is just dying for a chance to roll
in the green grass in your back yard
and to eat his fill of your good country
food?
For the last four years the Summer
Outing Department of the Big Broth
ers and Big Sisters has made it possible
for hundreds of kiddies of Milwaukee's
poor to leave for short time their
Easements and crowded tenementS,
their Fairgrounds of alleys and streets,
for the joys and attractions of rural
Wisconsin.
The organization has been able to do
this through the splendid cooperation
of the railroads who transport these
children to their destination, free of
charge.
While this organization is grateful
for benefits already received, it, like
Oliver Twist, is asking for more-that
is: asking more homes to be opened so
that this year when the children are
leaving for their happy two weeks, no
little girl or boy is left behind.
In the past the Summer Outing de-
partment has been forced to pick and
choose its little tourists, taking those
who are most in need of an outing.
In the summer of 1921 the registra-
ton was 647; those sent out 286; a dis
crepancy which we wish to avoid in
1922.
Do take one or two; you wont regret
it. 1t will be lots of fun. Remember
these sophisticated city dwellers are a
different type from the sheltered youth
which grow up around you.
viii all churches and local woman's
and girls clubs which have not already
done so and are interested, communi-
cate with this Office at once for full
information?

POLITICS

Our city has the honor or distinction
of having its mayor the candidate of
the Socialist party for lieutenant-gov-
ernor. His Honor said on his return
from Milwaukee that if he thought
there was any chance of his being
elected he would gladly let some one
else make the run. He has been can
didate of the Socialist party for con
gress once or twice and, we believe,
has been on the state ticket before
District Attorney Brady this week
announced that he would again permit
his name to go on the Republican
ticket. There is no primary opposition
to Mr.. Brady discernible
John eastman, a La Toilette Repub-
lican residing in Kewaunee county, isl
a candidate for the nomination for
state senator for the new first district,
comprising ManitOwOc, Kewaunee and
Door counties. Local Democrats are
said to be getting ready to make de
mand on Albert Karel of Kewaunee
that he take the Democratic nomina-
ton.
