REPORT ON LURAY LYNCHING. Hampton Sheriff Says He is Unable to Find Out Anything. Columbia, Nov. 27.-Gov. Ansel to day received the written report of Sheriff Lightsey, of Hampton, on the Luray lynching in response to the governor's order to go to Luray and investigate. The sheriff was unable to give a single fact in addition to that reported in the newspapers. He says that he was unable to find out anything. The only witness he reports from is the father of the young woman on whom the attempt is alleged to have been made. The sheriff says that he knew noth. ing of the lynching until twenty-four hours after it was committed. He was in telephone communication with Lu. ray, but nobody there asked for his services. He says that he would have done all in his power to put down the lynching. "A Philanthropist Is a Man With More Money Than Sense"I -Andrew Carnegie. New York.-We must all learn the great truth that oly competence is dirable, - almost necessary, wealth non-essential, and when it does come, it is only a sacred trust to be administered for the general good." Resolved to a single sentence, this is the ground text of the chapter on "Wealth" that holds the initial posi tion of honor in a new book of which Andrew Carnegie is the author and which, under the title of "Problems of Today," has just been published. "Wealth,'" "Labor,'" and "So eialism,'" are the specific subjects to which Mr. Carnegie Tas devoted his pen this iline, though there are chap ters dealing with "Thrift,"''"Wag es," "Individualism vs. Socialism," "Pamily Relations," "My Experi ence- With Railroad Rates and Re bates," and other problems of the present. The book is dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt, "a good and great presi dent who has elevated the standard of duty in both public and private life, apostle of the "Square Deal'' for all classes of men, a true man of the people, and a model citizen in ex ample and precept." H ere are a few of Mr. Carnegie's thoughts in tabloid form: "Beyond a competence for old age, whieh need not be great and may be very small, wealth lessens rather than increases human happiness.'' "Millionaires who laugh are rare. "To keep a fortune is scarcely less difficult than to acquire it.'' "A philanthropist generally means a man with more money than sense." "There can be no hereditary aristo cracy of wealth. Where it is left free, as a rule, it passes in three genera tions from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in all English-speaking lands except the United Kingdom, where the law of primogeniture and legal settlements guard a hereditary class and defeat the operation of the na tural law.'' "Wealth confers no fame, al though it may buy titles where such - prevails." "One of the chief objections to present day socialism is that while it lends itself to endless talk, it is yet I doomed to inaction as a system until and unless human nature itself isj changed in the countless ages to come.I Earnes~t and good men, touched to .fine issues, should not occupy them selves grasping at listant shad- vs while the substance, improvement of the present, lies at their feet ready for treatment.'' AFTER FEW DAYS GET A DIVORCE Enid, Okla.-After a trial marriage which lasted eight days and had crowded into it all the material eJle mnents of a cyclone, Merritt Mason, 80 years old, and Lucinda Mason, 76, ap peared in court and asked for a di vorce. Judge Cullison, who had married them, granted it in self defense. Disregarding t.he pounding of the * judge's gavel, the old man and the old woman ran a race telling what each thought of the other. Never, perhaps, in the history of Oklahoma courts were so much vituperative crimination and recrimination crowd ed into the same space of time. After the court stenographer had despaired of keeping the testimony of Mason and his wife. separate and the judge had mushroomed the end of his gavel, the court silenced the couple long enough to say: "The divorce is granted. Now, will you shut up" I' A. W. JONETIS, THE PLUMBER, has op'me~d s.hop i:st back of post ofice. i :timates furnished oni application.
