Chester Reporter, Dec. 20: Mr. W. Lw Fennell, a native of this county and son of Mrs. F&nnie Fennell of East Eacy street, committed suicide yesterday morning at his home in Charlotte as the result of bad health. Today's Charlotte Observer has this about the sad occurrence: In a fit of melancholia brought on by his enfeebled condition, resulting from pel_ lagra with which he had suffered for mL > more than a year, Mr. W. E. Fennell, n 39 years old, committed suicide yesmorning at his home near the mill by shooting himself _ Fnizamh the brain with a rifle. Mrs. PiUMK was in another room at the time, getting breakfast and she rushes ed into the bed-room as soon as she heard the report. Her husband was lying in bed, with the smoking 22calibre magazine rifle on the floor where it had fallen immediately after the shot. Mr. Fennell had gotten the rifle, placed the muzzle above his right ear and then pulled the trigger with his thumb. His death followed within a few moments.' Mr. Kirkpatrick Wins. The North Carolina supreme court has reversed the court below in the case of J. W. Kirkpatrick and Kate Kirkpatric against the Piedmont and Northern Traction company. The complaint in the case was because of alleged damage to residence property of the plaintiffs in Gastonia, because ~ of the raising of the bed of the rail_ ^ rood on the street The suit was for $2,000. The traction company secured a non-suit on the ground that as a street railway it also had a right to the street The supreme court holds that the character of the road is to * be determined by the character of the business it does and as the Piedmont SB and Northern road hauls freight it should properly be classed as a steam railroad. The court also holds that the question as to whether the foe of a la tn thn fAtrn AP thft flhlltiinC property owner is not material, for the abutting property owner has such proprietory interest as will enable him to prevent the wrongful use of the street The effect of the court decision is to give the plaintiffs and all who may have been similarly damaged the right to have a jury assess those clam age a Drowned in Broad River. Gaflfney Ledger, Dec. 21: While his friends were gone to get some matches and kindling'with which to build a fire to dry his clothes after he had fallen in Broad river, about a mile above the Ninety-Six Island dam, John Spurling, a flat tender, again rolled into the water and was drowned Saturday night about 9 o'clock. The body was recovered Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock by searching parties. At an inquest held Sunday night by Coroner / E. R. Parker, witnesses swore that k' - Spurling was drunk when he rolled r_ into the river. Marion Owens, accordk~' ing to his own testimony at the corI or.er's inquest, was at the home of P Drayton Harris Saturday night when K Spurling came in and asked the way V to Jet Dq. vis's. Owens and Rufe Har^ ria went "out to direct him and at the W read they found Marmion Moss, who said he wished to cross the river. Owens volunteered to take them, but by the time they reached the river, Sourlinir was so drunk that he was not in a condition to continue the trip. When Owens and Harris returned from taking Moss across they found that Spurting had fallen into the river, but had managed to climb out. At the point where they were, the ground slopes down to the river at such a steep grade that it is almost impossible for a man to keep his footing, and after making several ineffective efTorts to get Spurling up the hill Owens and Harris decided to get some matches and kindling wood to make a fire as it was apparent that he was getting cold. They placed the drunk man in what they thought to be a safe position by a pine sapling stump and left; when they returned a short time later he had disappeared, leaving one shoe, his hat and lantern. Owens and Harris immediately began a search that proved unsuccessful. Sunday a number of men dragged the river about the spot where Spurling disappeared, and Sunday afternoon - Marion Owens found the body. He was assisted in removing it from the water N _ by Ed Upchurch. Hockey at Winthrop. 7s* An unusual precedent was set at v J Winthrop last Saturday afternoon J when the freshmen hockey team dewJf feated the seniors, and thus won the championship of the college. Hockey was only introduced at Winthrop during the present term, and because of that fact all the classes were on an equal footing, the principal advantage of the higher classes being longer training in athletics. The freshmen ? ? Am, jofootoH tha "anaolals" and iraiu in ol uwvuivvi %*iv wrv?.~?, ? then the sophomores. The seniors had already defeated the juniors, and if the juniors had been able to defeat the freshmen, there would have been no occasion for a contest between the freshmen and seniors. However, the freshmen had little difficulty in defeating the juniors and that brought the matter down to an issue N*. between the freshmen and seniors. The game took place last Saturday afternoon with the entire student body drawn up in championship of the re4^^ spective classes the seniors and sophomores for the senior team and the * freshmen and juniors backing the jg freshmen. There was a lot of banter, defy and challenge on both sides preBW. liminary to the opening of the game, and the opposing lines of backers handed class yells at each other with vigor and spirit. Each good play by either side brought forth enthusiastic yells of encouragement that would have done credit to the rooters at a National league game and when the freshmen went back to their rest lines at the end of the first half with the score standing 5 to 0 against them, they seemed to be pretty well discouraged if not defeated. But in the sceond half the freshmen scored ten to nothing for the seniors, the freshmen lines went into transports of enthusiasm that found expression in hugging and kissing, yelling and H|H blowing their horns. Some of the seniWHHf ors seemed to be sufficiently crestfallen for tears; but they took their de feat along with the kidding of the freshmen in a becoming manner. There were but a few spectators outside of the faculty and student body. Hockey is very similar to the old time WW game of shinny, but not quite so rough. If FORT MILL MATTERS Mr. Hafner's Resignation Accepted With Regrets?Prohibition Lectures ?Bad Roads. Corr*apoua*nc? Th# Yorkvlll* Enquirer Fort Mill, December 20.?At a meeting of the congregation of the Presbyi terian church held Sunday morning ? after the regular service, the request of the pastor, Rev. W. A. Hafner, that the congregation unite with him in asking Bethel presbytery to dissolve the pastoral relation existing between I , the two, was unanimously granted. and Elder D. G. Kimbrell was appointed by the chairman, J. A. Boyd, to represent the congregation at a special meeting of presbytery at Rock Hill this week. It is with much regret that the many friends of Mr. Hafner learn , that he has accepted the call to Limestone church, Gaffney, but as it was his urgent request that they not dissent from his desire, no contrary mo|A tion was offered at the meeting. A committee from the elders, the deaconate and the laymen of the church was appointed to begin itn effort at once to secure a pastor for this church. Over 200 people were at the school auditorium Sunday afternoon to hear the addresses of Dr. John G. Wooley .'tnd Rev. George W. Morrow, representatives of the National Anti-Saloon league, who delighted the audience with splendid speeches in behalf of the Anti-Saloon league and Its fight for national prohibition. At the conclusion of Dr. Morrow's address quite a nice contribution was made to aid the league in its fight. The municipal election pot is beginning to simmer and new candidates are daily announcing themselves for the different positions, but so far there is but one candidate for the mayoralty. Th incumbent is standing for re-election. After such wet weather as this commimif ?p Vio o V? a r.n o t fori /lfliro uiuiuvj nao uau kite icu uajo, ordinarily the red clay road leading to the Mecklenburg line is hub deep in mud, but the procession of dry Tar Heels with wagons, buggies and automobiles has been so constant that the water has all been thrown from the roadbed to the ditches and the mud packed as hard as macadam. This is about the only redeeming feature of the conditions now existing. HICKORY GROVE HAPPENINGS '^>rrespondence The Torkrllle Enquirer Hickory Grove, December 20.?

CARROLL SUPPLY CO. They All Look Good There are over 250 so-called Old Line or "Legal Reserve" Life Insurance companies in business in the United States today, and 175 of them are less than 10 years of age. The agents of each one of these companies claims, no doubt, that the particular company of which he carries a rate book, is the best in the business and issues the most liberal contract, etc., while many of these agents write business the large majority could not do so but for the fact that the average insurer in buying life insurance, buys the agent's gab instead of the contract? in other words, he never undertakes to see for himself whether or not the company the agent represents is old, strong, and well established and has a record, covering its entire career, for giving each policy holder a square deal, issuing liberal policies and carrying out the contract at a low net cost?the all-important features to consider in entering what is expected to be a life-long contract. In other words, he does not "look before he leaps.'' The contracts of all companies look good and liberal and most of them are liberal when compared with those issued previous to 10 or 12 years ago, but when compared with the contract of onmo nthftp onmnflniM thft Mutual Benefit of Newark. N. J., for instance, they do not appear so liberal. Don't buy insurance from any agent for personal reasons, but solely because you are convinced that what you are buying is the best from every viewpoint, that is to be had; as you will probably go on paying premiums on an illiberal policy in an illiberal company for many years after the "personal reasons" have vanished. Don't buy from the agent who talks nothing but "low cost" any more than you would apply the same reason to buying a suit of clothes, because while there is a material difference in the cost of clothes and also a material difference in their value, there is not a material difference in the cost of Life Insurance, but there is in the value of the contracts. I do not know. Mr. Man, whether or not you are figuring on buying Life Insurance, but you do; but I do know that if you are and will give me an opportunity I can prove to your satisfaction that the Mutual Benefit has a record covering a period of more than 70 years, that is as white as snow?that no company Vino n sunorlnr nni> fnr low cost, or is sues as liberal policies.
