PAGE FOUK FRAMPTON'S WOUND MAY PRJOVE EAT Ali?BELIEVED , V THAT DAVIS HAS EXCEL LENT CHANCE TO RECOV ER. Allendale, Dec. 28.?Earl Framp ton, a prominent "farmer and a irnnno- man rtf iJiifl section. V- ? , was shot and probably fatally wound ed about two miles from here this afternoon by his cousin, Lerwis Davis. Davis immediately after the shooting took about 15 grains of poison and lies in a desperate con dition at a hotel here tonight with a docor in attendance. There is a "* possibiliy of his recovery, doctors said tonight, as the period of great est danger has passed. His recovery is considered remarkably as the ddse taken was unusually large. . Frampton, the wounded man, was taken o a sanitarium in Charleston this afternoon. The general opinion was that the wound would prove fatal, he being shot through the ab domen, the ball entering near the : left side in the rear of the body ?*? {?? nrnf J_ fkn fivtnf An fho <111U VUV m %(iv 4.&VUV VI* ?*X/ right side. The weapon used was a 38 automatic. The details or the motive of the erime are very scant, jt appears 'fhat Frampton, who is a first cousin y #of Davis, lived in the home\ ofj Davis together with his father and j' two sisters. Davis1 only statement after'the shooting was that it was due to family trouibles. Members of ; the family of the wounded man | were sd excited that no coherent j statement could 8>e gained at the 1 home where the shooting occurred. It was some time after the .shooting before the news reached Allendale,j although the place where it occurred,; lb only two miles from here. A ' resident' of Allendale happened to pass the home after the shooting oc- 1 curred and coming on^ into Allendale reported the'news te.Sheriff Ben-j1 nett, who immediately went to the ?u*f?TiA <vf th? M*fme ixwethfer with ' several deputies and a doctor. I1 Immediate attention was given to Framptpn J arid he -was taken to^ Charleston by Allendale physicians 1 this afternoon , on the Charleston ' and Western Carolina train. I1 Davis, who did the hooting', was ' found upstairs in his home withvan 1 empty bottle that contained poison j by his side. He stated that he had 1 taken the entire bottle and request-,1 ed to be allowed to stay in the room ( a few minutes as-he believed he would be dead at the end of ,that - time. He was taken in charge by ' Eheif.ff Hennet, however, and ,1 brought to Allendale. He was having," /convulsions when he *?ached here 3 but after attention by a physician' he appealed to have slightly recov ered and is resting fairly well* to-J night.

As the millionaires move in, the janitors are moving out. The reason is largely social?but it isn't that the skyscraper zone, witn its elaborate aerial bungalows or roofgardene, is becoming too exe^is ive for the janitors. The trouble is that despite the influx of millionaires the district hasn't enough social tone to suit the family of the modern big building janitor, who wears the title of "bu'lding superintendent." J. H. Hernon, department manager of a larga downtown management company said today it was becom ing harder and harder to find resi dent superintendents to occupy the apartments that most of the older skyscrapers maintain for that pur pose. "The type of men taking these jobs is becoming higher and higher," he said, "as the complexities of big building operation increase. That means that the wives have social am bitions that' they feel they cannot gratify down here in the business district. They prefer to live upton or in the more exclusiye suburb "Some of. the superintendents' apartments are very handsome, and nearly all of them have magnificent dews of the harbor, with the Statue of Liberty, Governors Island and Ellis [sland looming in the backgrounds. These advantages however, don't seem sufficient to offset the social dis abilities of the neighborhood." G. Thyberg, superintendent of the Old Produee Exchange, is dean of the downtown cliff dweller^, He li^es in the picturesque red brick tower of the exchange at Broadway and Beavef streets, in the heart of the new "millionaires colony. From the south windows of his twelfth story aerie, just under the big tower clock, he can look out across the top of the custom house and see the sixteen room apartment of Henry L. Doh^ ty Wall Street banker, On the roof of the Chezzborough Building. His wrest windows face the new Cunard Building, on the twenty-second story of which Percy A. Rockefeller, capir talist, and - Sir Ashley Sparks, head of the Cunard Line in the United States, maintain their private office dwelling. ' r". "It is true -there aren't as many of us as there were," Mr. Thyberg said. "There isn*t much social life down here?but there are compensa tions for us of the older generation. For one thing, its quiet. This is the busiest place in the world in the day time, but by seven or eight in the evening its as quiet and peaceful, al most, as the country."
