Efird's, on Sunday i night, -while meeting was in progress. The ball, a 22 calibre, entered the cheBt just above the heart, and the extent of the injuries cannot, as yet, be determined, according to the statement*, of the attending physician, Dr. B. P; Derrick. Tucker, it is said, claim*'that he shot in self defence, ' but others assert that it was entirely unprovoked. Deputy Sheriff Miller ' was notified of the shooting, and in - less than an hour had Tucker arrested. Tocker is in jail awaiting farther dei velopments. CapL ft. L. Shuler's Canidldacy Eedorsed by bis Home-Folk. * The people of Brooklapd desire to thank the voters of the county for the spienaia support given uapt. K. Jj. Shuler of our town on August 30, in which election he lacked only 24 votes of being elected. Capt. Shuler's high moral character, his temperate habit9, his educational qualifications, his fair-mindedness, all vie to make him a worthy representative from our county. Two years ago with two competitors from New Brookland Capt. Shuler lead the ticket by a handsome majority. This year, with one other Brookland man in the race, Capt. Shuler received 344 votes out of a total of about 400. This proves conclusively that Capt. Shuler is the choice of th's section for representative, and, since other sections have already been given representation, we think it just and wise to give the other representative to this section. By a vote of the people a free bridge has been assured, would it not be iminently fitting to let a man from this section champion this measure in the House ? And wouldn't the confidence of our people in the proposed i.t. j i_ i. pian ue strengtnenea Dy uapt. Shuler's election ? For the above, as well as other reasons, we ask for Capt. R. L. Shuler favorable consideration by the voters of the county on September 13th. Voters. New Brookland, S. C., Sept. 6, 1910. I | , ?aiumi II wish to announce to large stock of Genera !i!

" Like a thunder-clap from a cloudless sky came the announcement of the death of Mr. J. B. Rhude Meetze. e' On Monday night, as the hands Of the 8* clock were pointing toward half past % eleven o'clock, surrounded by friends c' and loved ones in his homo at 1601 Bull street, Columbia, the Grim Reap- E er came. For several days ho had a] fought the great monster, but to no avail. About three weeks ago he was 81 taken ill with typhoid fever and was ^ doing well until last Friday when he ? contracted pneumonia. He gradually "( grew worse inspite of the heroic ef- ! forts of the most skilled phj'sicians, and the end came as a sweet relief tc JJ his terrible sufferings. " He was the youngest son of the late ^ John H. Meetze, of our town, and was *l only 31 years of age. Five years ago he gave up his position with the firm ? of Meetze & Son to become travelling salesman for the Armour Packing Co., ~ of Columbia. He was continued in ] A this position up to about six months ago, being considered one of the best salesmen in the employ of the compa- 11 ny, when he was promoted to the im- n' portant and responsible position of general manager of the Armour office b in Columbia, and was rapidly rising when he was stricken down.' Four years ago he was married to pi Miss Fannie Oswald, of Barr, one of ai the most popular young women in the h county, who, with one son, survive. the public trade that I have add< 1 Merchandise a complete line of Buggies, Wagons, Vhips, Lap Rob nd the prices are as low as you wil find in f 1 Hfnn/>linn<llCA UtllCldl 1VAC1 CllOJituiisv ,ndise, consisting of Dry Goods, Notions, S s will please the closest buyers.

Rhude Meetze. Truly, God's ways re mysterious! Besides his wife and little son he 19 lrvived by two brothers and six sis^rs as follows: Thomas P. Meetze, f Lexington; W. B. Meetze, of Gabottsville, Ga; Mrs. John Wilson Butir and Mrs. Frank George, of Lexigton; Mrs. Jule A. Krentzlen, of Washington, D. 0.; Mrs. Chas. B. .'arman, of Augusta; Mrs. W.
