Prohibition in Texas.
Over 200 Counties Have Voted
Themselves Dry?Begins New
Year as a Teetotaler.
Austin, Texas, .fan. 1. ? Beginning
today Texas virtually takes
rank among the Prohibition states
of the union. The anti-saloon
movement was begun several
years ago, but it was not until the
last summer that its success became
assured. In three months
more than 200 counties "went
dry" as a result of a vote of the
people. The saloon element put
up a bitter tight, both at the polls
and in the conrts, but it was
worsted every where with the result
that the Lone Star stats hegins
the new year as a teetotaler.

was received by the mother
of the dead woman, Mrs. Julia F.

gave no particulars, merely stating
that Mrs. Forbush was among

A HOMK DESTROYKU l'lMSllKD.
Anderson, Dee. 31. ? Frank
Pickens and Sam Wilkie, two
negroes living on Mr, W. Q.
Hammond's place near the city,
had trouble yesterday and as a
result Pickens received a gunshot
wound in the abdomen that will
likely cause his death. Wilkie
was captured snnn nftoi*
M.wvt Viiv OlIUUl
ing and is now in jail.
It seems that some time ago
VVilkie stole some chickens and
was convicted in a magistrate's
court and sentenced to serve 130
days on the cliaingang. During
his absence his wife and Pickens
developed a fondness for each
other. Upon his return from the
gang he found out was .going on
and has been absent from the
plantation ever since, it is said
that he has been lying in ambush
j for one or both of the couple for
I some time.
j Yesterday afternoon ho met his
wife and Pickens walking along
together. Ho was armed with a
shotgun and without waste of time
or words tired upon Pickens, the
entire load of shot taking effect
in the right abdomen. lie then
clubbed his wife over the head
with the gun ocd then ran off.
H in wife waa not badly ._hurt.
SAFE CRACKERS IN SOCIETY HILL.
Socioty Hill, Jan. 1.?Professional
safe-crackers put in some
of their skillful work here lust
night. As a result Messrs. W.
C. Cokor & Son are losors to the
amount of $400, ca9h and checks,
Messrs. Coker & Son conduct a
large general merchandise business.
Mr. A. 51. Coker, the
proprietor, left the store at 11
o'clock, and on account of the
death of u relative, the clerk, Mr.
VV. E Hostess, who sleeps in the
store, was not in his accustomed
place.
Entrace was made by a side
window and the explosive used
was evidently nitro-glycerine.
Nobody heard the explosion and
the burglars made their escape.
HIS HOLIDAY ENDED IN DEATH.
Hampton, Jan. 1.?A tow days
ago Mr. Eddie W. Hiets, a cle
ver and popular young student of
Nowberry college, came to spend
the Christmas holidays with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. H.
Hiors of Weimer. On arriving
at the lailread station he received
information that his grandmother
was seriously ill, and driving several
miles in the cold night air in
order to reach home as early as
possible, he contracted pneumon*
ia, from which he died on Christmas
day. Leonard, a younger
son, who had been siek for a few
iJujh, also died a few hours later.
Many relatives and friends deeply
sympathize with this family on
whom the hand of atlliction has

this vuoruiog the store and stock
of S. T. Dagnull, his residence
and the residences of Mrs. Emmie
Russoll and Thos. ltoundtree, all

Shocking Record of Homicide.
The Attorney Genoral Finds That
There Wero 222 Cases in This
State in 1903.
There wero 222 cases of manslaughter
reported to the attorney
general during the year 1903.
The record is appalling. And it
is possible that there are some
homicides which were not reported
by the clerks of court.
In 1S97 ami in 1900 the number
of cases repoited was 225,
exceeding the record of 1903.
Mr. Gunter has been examining
the records oi other States and
finds that South Carolina shows up
badly. Only 91 homicides wore
reported in North Carolina last
year, and that number was thought
to be a fearful record for the adjoining
State.
