V* W . A Vt. K. BHA Ikl.EY, K'l Horn * llltKVILLE, 8.C. i * . i iitoititeti i-verj WKl!ieHit?y ti * y 'in *-lvwj>ow. Wednesday, Feb. 14, 1912 D WAmAn in IViOil l\Clliai nauiv n wu?_ ? the State. Mrs. Mary Caroline, widow of the late Dr. Franklin F. Gary, is now living at Abbeville with her son Judge Frank B. Gary. Slie is in her seventy-ninth year, enjoying good health, and in the posses sion or her mental 'acuities. She is now the oldest graduate of Limestone Female College, which coflege in Its day was oae of the two leading colleges in the south, and she Is perhaps the only woman who has had the distinction of having her tbree sons to preside over the courts of iSouth Carolina at the same time. She is the mother of Chief Justice Eu gene 15. Gary, who was elected to the Supreme Bench 1892, and who was recent ly promoted to the position of Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court. She is also the mother of Judge Ernest Gary, who was In 1891, elected Judge of the Fifth Judicial Grouit, and who is now in point of service the oldest Judge in the State. Her youngest son, Frank B. Gary, was in 1912, elected Judge of the Eighth Judi cial Circuit, after having previously serv ed a term in the United States Senate. Mrs. Gary is the mother of one daugh ter, Sirs. Marie G. Eason, of Charleston, who is thought by many to be the most remarkable member of the family, and of whom Mrs. Gary is, if possible, more proud than sne is 01 sods, m j?ro. cwuu D chil dren Mrs. Gary realizes the truthful ness of the scriptures when It says that "children's children are an old man'6 crown." The sole object In writing this pieoe 1b to extend hearty congratulations to thia most remarkable woman, who has lived to see proud results of her motherly train ing. It is our sincere hope that she may yet live many years to enjoy the good things of life which she so richly deserves. The mother of Judges, she may well point to her children, as did the mother of the Gracchi and say, "these are my jew ~ els." ? . ? Looks Like Roosevelt. In a convention held in Chicago on the 10th, instant the Roosevelt forces set the ball in motion to secure the re-nomina tion jof the ex-president. There werr ?4 nnnvonfinn tha ^nvBIDftrf prvseub iu uio wuivk.-v^, -? c of eight republican states and representa j; tlves of twenty-eijjht states in all. If Mr. Roosevelt forgets his obligation to the President, and permits his own nomination, in order to stand a ghost of a chance of winning, he will have to cut loose from his. old friends the stand pat element of the Republican party. The ei-preeident Is so elastic, however in the matter of promises, that the "old guard" would prefer him with a show of hostility to Taft, who seems to have been doing - something in the wiy of trust busting. If Boosevelt will swear eternal allegianoe to the cause of Progressive "^publicans,; he can win against any Democrat except Harmon. That so large an element of the Repub lican party is willing to throw down President Taft, after one term of service, and from a Republican standpoint, of faithful service, shows the desperate straits to which [the party leaders arc driven. Not to renominate Mr. Taft would be as humiliating to the Republi can leaders as to Mr. Taft himself. But iKa onnool tA TinnfiATOlt, in A PAfiA of "savp U1IV W ' ? ? Mr. Caeslus or I sink." There Is no doubt but that the Republi cans can elect any man who will harmon ize their differences ; but can Mr. Roose velt do this? "Will the tariff reform Republicans of the middle west again trust his elastic promises 1 Governor Harmon comes from this very section and he Is In hearty sympathy with the tariff reform Idea. Ohio Republicans have been voting for him and they will vote for him as against Taft or Rooeevelt and other states of the middle west wll! do likewise. If we want to put up an able man and a profound thinker, Bryan would do us again. If we want to put up a scholarly man and one who every South Carolinian would delight to have we might pnt up Woodrow Wilson. If we want to put up a man who for geographical as well as oth er reasons, can win against the Republi can Held that man is Harmon. Betting on your favorites is allrignt but the horse with the record is the horse that usually wins, in many ways either Speaker Clark or Governor Wilson is preferable to Harmon but politically neither of them Is as strong. Hon. L. F. Livingston Dead. Hon. Lou F. Livingston for 20 years member of Congress, representing the city of Atlanta and adjoining counties, died in Washington last Sunday morning. He was one of the best known men In Congress. In the primary two years ago Col. Liv ingston was defeated for re-electJon and though he was an old man, 79 years old at the time of his death, disappointment rather than age, It Is thought hastened his death'. New Building*.

Mies L/Oulse Allen, who has been attend ing the Womae's College at Due West, died in Knowlton's Hospital, Columbia, at four o'clock Monday morning, Feb. 12, 1912, as the reeult of an operation for ap- ( dendlcitis. Her remains were brought to iKKauiii# Mnmliiv. Funeral services were held Id the Presbyterian church yesterday by Rev. H. C. Fennel, and her many friends filled the church to overflowing. Miss Allen was a daughter of Mr. 8. A. Allen, who lives between Abbeville and Warrenton. She was just 19 years of age and an only daughter. She leaves a father, mother and one brother. Never have the people of Abbeville been more shocked by sudden death. Ber ill ness was known to only a few and her death came as a distinct shock. Miss Allen was beautiful and accom plished. Her beauty of person was rare and her lovely disposition made her a favorite with all who knew her. In her college course she was giving especial at* tontlon to the training of her voice. In the commencement exercises of the Woman's College at Due West last year her singing was the ev nt of the occasion. The volume and sweetness of her voice captivated al her hearers. That one so lovely, and so accomplished should be taken while in her tender years Is one of the unfathomable mysteries of Providence. It strikes a chill to the heart to consider how little consequence are the beauty and grace and accomplishment of the creature lu the plans of the Creator Many who the world would say have noth ing to live for reach their three score year and ten. But the gardener cuts the pret tiest flowers?takes them Irom the seem before time blighted they fail away. And In this there is a lesson to those who have a vacant chair in the home. In after years they are remembered in the fullness of their virtues and accomplishments, free of the burdens and disappointments that come with every life, Miss Allen's remains were carried from the depot to the home of her aunt Mrs. M. Harvey Wilson, In the city, Twice In a few brief mohths has this home been visited by the Dread Beaper, and in each instance the death was sudden and exceedingly sad. Mr. Wilson died of appoplezy only a few months ago. He with his wife idolized Miss Alien. That his death should be fol lowed so soon by the death of one who of all her sorrowing friends and reiatjyes, haM flraf n1*/>A In h?r hftart 1a sad In deed. Deepest sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Wilson. Among those from Due West who at tended the funeral of Miss Louise Allen were Col. B. C. Brownlee, Mr. D. 8. Ed wards, Misses Mary Boyce and Louise Brownlee, President B. L. Robinson, Miss, Long, vocal teacher of the Woman's Col lege, ! Shortly before Miss Allen's death she said she wished so much that Miss Long could be present to sing ''When I shall meet Him face to face,"and then repeating the ohlld's prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep" she expired. Miss Long sang the hymn most touohingly as a part of the funeral service in the Presbyterian church. EAST END. I; What "II" Sen id Run m Rounds About tfao City aid Along Be lit* lo.

Hand, Miss Marie uromer, air. u. a. aianm aim mr. * addressed a meeting in the Court House on the subjects of oorn clubs I and tomato clubs and education. The meeting was presided over by the Superintendent of Education,1 Mr. Foster Hammond. - The first speaker introduced was Prof. Hand, Superintendent of High Schools. He spoke along educational lines. Every man needs' a good mental training. The farmer is no exception to the rule. The farmer endeavors to run his farm as long as possible, and In many cases he tries to run the school as short a time as possible. The time a school runs is Important, but not so Important as the kind of teacher that is at the head of the school. A good I three months school *s better than a poor [six months school. Mr. Hand told the story of the mother, who on being asked about her children said: One is living, one dead and one teaching school, placing the pedagogue outside the pales of the living or the dead. People will go back to the country when the country offers the pro per attractions. Not before. The low rate ' ?* ? ?? ? I r-t AftA UK rbLUI Ilb VI |/iu>uoi u jr 1U1 UUUUII ID uuc cause for lack of funds. These and many other things Prof. Hand said. The next speaker introduced was Mies Marie Cromer. Miss Cromer is an Abbe ville girl and Abbeville is proud of her. After graduating at the Abbeville Graded School she went abroad to teach, and most successfully1 oonducted schools In Aiken oouuty, where she was at work ? hen she was inspired with the tomato club Ideas. She is a young woman of boundless energy and splendid intellect, and her work Is making its Impress not only on South Car olina, but as well on other states. There are now tomato clubs In India! Miss Cromer saw what was being done for the boys in the way of corn clubs and felt that there was a need for something of the same kind for the girls. With thfp idea before her, she went to work. At fin t it was uphill business. In her talk s! e told of hefr difficulties. She was at first unable to get anyone to offer prizes. When she could not prevail on any of her rich acquaintances to help her, she offered the first prize herself. Think of that. A little school teacher offering a scholarship to promote the welfare of the girls in her community. But that is the kiud of stuff Miss Cromer is made of and when she had set her heatt to accomplish something, nothing could have prevented her. She spoke enthusiastically of her work, how the purpose of the clubs was not alone to can tomatoes, but to can anything that can be canned?and ther* are few things that cannot be canned?and also to pro mote industry and thrift among girls. Miss Cromer was listened to with rapt at tention. The other, speeches were a rehash of ^ ^ J In ik A U/ktlOA WUttl UOO LWCII NUU IU iuu IA/UIU AAUUOU many times before.

In January, 1C<>8, Gustav Jimjinger, a literary man. and bis wife. Mury Jinslnger, rented a house at 145 Croker street, in the city of London. They lived apparently happily together till the husband took In Ruth Klrkwood. a typist and stenographer. From that time the author and the typist were seen by * ? ' ? J tne neigQDOrs lO L>e lrequeuujr lutEw er, and Mrs. Jlnsinger was observed often in tears. She was In poor health, and a. specialist in h-ain diseases was seen to make visits to the house. On the 10th of March, 1908, Mrs. Jinsinger was seen for the last time at her home. Miss Martha Ellison, living opposite, saw her enter her house and close the front door behind her. No one after this date saw her come oat Her husband and Ruth Klrkwood were seen to come out and go away, both separately and together. On the 30th of April vans appeared before their door and removed the furniture. Miss Ellison saw Mr. Jlnsinger and the typist leave the house together. The next occupants of the house were Peter Hartigan and John Flynn. They were old men, living exclusive mm ?J? ? sOsif hff><7 lives, weuriiig iub iu?ui?? vw~.~D and evidently very poor. They left the premises after occupying them three months, never having paid any rent The agent for the house report ed that he went to it and found it de serted. No one saw them move oat, and it was supposed that they had done so at night when no one was about During the autumn of 1910 No. 145 Croker street was razed to make room for a business block. The cellar was w^lened and deepened to fit the new structure. Several feet under the old cellar, floor the excavators came upon a human body, or, rather, the remains of a body, that had been considerably eaten away by quicklime or some de structive agent The place of burial and the attempted destruction of the body excited suspicion. The case was reported to the police, who made In quiries as to the past occupants of the premises, and the doings of the Jln singers came to light On chemical analysis the body was found to con tain traces of arsenic. The case at once arrested the at tention of detectives. The appearance of the typist, the facts of Mrs. Jlnsln gei^s depression and that she had not been seen to leave the bouse seemed to Indicate - that Jlnslnger and Miss Klrkwood had been lovers and that they had removed Mrs. Jlnslnger that they might marry. If Jlnslnger could be found living with the typist there would be sufficient evidence against him to convict him before any jury. Jl hunt was made for the author, but f?r a long while nothing was heard of him. At last It was learned that he. accompanied by a girl, had sailed for America. A detective crossed in a faster steamer, arrested him and the girl, who proved to be Miss Klrkwood, and took both to London for trial. AAnw1itfA4l nrlnnlnollv aiUDlU^Cl TTM wu?iV bW |/?auv?^u*v on the evidence that baa been stated here.* Miss Kirkwood was acquitted of being an accessory to the murder after the fact Jlnslnger was sen tenced to be hanged, according to the English law, about three weeks after his conviction. One morning In the spring of 1008 Edward Burnes, a tinner living on the i outskirts of London, on going out to 1 work found a woman lying uncon scious before his door. He carried her into the bouse and put her under the care of bis wife. She soon regained consciousness, but could give no ac count of herself. She could not even remember her name. She was per mitted to spend the day in the tinner's house, and when he returned In the Avan<n9 Ha fho /iflaa tft A physician. Through the doctor*! Influ ence the woman waa removed to a hospital, where she was entered as a permanent patient Two years after her going there one morning on taking up a newspaper she gave a shriek. She had seen a notice of the coming exe cution of Gufltav Jlnslnger. A number of persons collected about her and learned from her that the name Jin finger had brought back her memory. She said she was the woman for whose murder Jlnslnger was to be ex ecuted. A reprieve was granted to Jlnslnger, who, on proof of the Identity of his wife, waa released. Subsequently the detectives made a hunt for Peter Har tlgan and John Flynn. After a long search they found Hartlgan and de manded to know what bad become of Flynn. He contradicted himself In hi* replies and, being further questioned by experts In such cases, finally told that while the tw? lived together at 146 Croker street the house had been Infested with rats. Hartlgan bad bought arsenic with which to poison them. One night Flynn, being 111, arose tn the dark for some medicine he had been taking, got bold of the arsenic by mistake and died from taking a large dose. Fearing that be would be accused of having poisoned Flynn, Hartlgan bad endeavored to destroy tiie body with quicklime; but, failing to do so entirely, be bad burled wbat waa left of it In the cellar. Hartlgan, being asked why be bad not called In medical assistance for Flynn. gave two reasons for bis failure to do so? first. Flynn had died very Boon after taking tbe arsenic; second, Plynn was a miser with ?10,000 hoard ed.

I shall tell you a story of the adju tant bird. He felt so much like a sol dier that he began to think that all the birds should become soldiers and go to the bird store and release the birds that were In captivity. Well, he paid a visit to all of his friends and urged them to join in this scheme, but none of them was in favor of it "It is of no use to try any such plan that," thej said to him. "We wilJ BUCKLED OH H3B BWOBD JJTD BTABTXD an. All be caught or killed. We cannot do any good by making any such attempt aa you propose." He talked and talked to them, but thqy would not believe that the Idea was a good one. "Well, then, I know what I will do," be cried boldly. "I will go alone and release all the birds that are kept In cages in the bird store and at private homes." , So he put on his uniform and buckled on his sword and started off, feeling that he was a' Very mighty fellow in deed. Now there Isn't very much more to my story except this: As soon as the bird store man saw him coming he got out a big net and threw It over the adjutant bird's head. Then he took off the bird's sword and pretty uniform and pot him in a cage with his other birds. And not long after that the ad jutant bird was sold to a lady, who bung him np in her parlor to show her friends what a fine creature he was.
