r _ LEAPS TO DEATH. I P 3Irs. Mary Robertson Kills Self at Lando.?Ties Rock in Apron. Chester, July 2S.?With the strings of a gingham apron tied around her i neck amd a seven pound rock -ec-ured [ in the body of her apron. Mr*. Mary j Robertson, wife of Sam Robertson,, leaped to her death from the bank j to 15 feet of water to the mill race j at the Manetta mill. After much j 1 ? 1 +-Vi r\ TX'Qfi ! Qivmg uy r i eu ncuc,* ? i recovered 35 feet down stream. The village of Lando, in Chester county, was stirrd by the affair. Mrs. Robertson left Wylie Camp-1 "bell's house at Lando about 2 o'clock I apparently in a state of great nervous j ness. She borrowed an apron fromj Mrs. Campbell which was afterward j found tied around her neck at the! bottom of the stream. Mrs. Robertson is said to have made threats recently to kill herself but the villagers paid little heed to her Oil yesterday her husband left for Columbia to stay some time and this seems to have precipitated the deed. She is said to have claimd that she had no friends and that the only and dearest friend in the world was goin? and she thought the suicidal course +}>o tsv to end her suffer ing. She removed her shoes and had x she not left this clew it might have been a week before her body would have been fou'nd. When she leaped into the stream the noise attracted considerable attention from some boys that were fishing further down the stream. They immediately made an investigation, which led to the discovery of the shoes on the bank. The alarm was spread and an immediate search instituted. Mr. Hefley. I an expert diver, was near, and he be- j gan diving and soon brought the body; to the surface. This made the 11th . person that he had pulled from the ; water. It was at first thought that the , drowning had been the result of violence on the part of some outsider and Sheriff D. E. Colvin and Coro-! nr J. Henry Gladden, along with Deputy C. Y. Young, were rushed to the scene in an automobile. Coroner Gladden made a careful investigation of the body after empaneling J" a jury, with G. B. Heath as foreman. ^ He could find no marks of violence ~ save a confusion on the nose which g was attributed to its striking a root or rock at the bottom of the race. ^ t '<?>^<?>^<$><^<$><?<^<?><?><?>'$><S><$><$><?> * <$> <S> ja <$> CITY PLAYGROUND. <$> 1 <$> <8> e ^ Early in the season, the trustees ] of the city schools made this proposi-j1 tion to the civic association that 11 _ i h they would turn over the grounds ~ t around the school buildings to the association to be used as playgrounds d and parlrs during the summer months a if the association would assume the responsibility of putting the grounds in order and providing seats, swings, ^ etc. Tbe Civic association accepted the proposition, began the work and with the cooperation of the city government and the water works come missioners, has the work well under way. The Speers street school grounds . are now in condition and open to the 1 public. V The equipment for the grounds at i I r the Boundary street school has been | ordered, arrangement has been made! j for the lighting of the grounds and j they will be ready for use within the 1 0 next two weeks. The High school grounds will not v be prepared this season by reason of s lack of funds, but work will be done 1 there this fall and winter which will prepare them for use next sear son. The citizens of Newberry are cor- 1 r dially urged to cooperate with t]ae Civic association in this work. It " was necessary to postpone the light- * V inor ar thp Sneers street school cu \ \ lixZD v*v ^ ? x account of the greater expense in- 1 volved.

WALLACE BACK. s >~ow Keady to Complete His Historical lVork. 11 Spartanburg Journal, 29th. Dr. D. D. Wallace, professor of conomics in Wofford college, has reurned after several weeks research ^ork in the great libraries of Washngton, Philadelphia and New York, n collecting further data for his nanuscripts on the life of Henry Lauens which he proposes to have pub- i ished in book form within the next : ew months. Dr. Wallace in speaking if his visit and researches said this i Qorning that he found the libraries j well filled with Southern historical ketches and in fact there was more nformation about the life of Henry ,aurens than he could possibly ui?. 1 )r. Wallace has his work about com ileted and his visit was made for the * mrcose of securing data concerning 1 inly the latter part of the greatj( outherner's life which he could not jrocure south of Washington. Students of history are greatly inerested in the life and works of ( ienry Laurens and the contribution if Dr. Wallace will no doubt be one if the popular works of history pubished within recent years. Henry -aurens was the greatest southern ;tatesmen during the revolutionary >eriod. He was president and practi ally ruler of South Carolina during he first months of the revolution. ; Wanted Another. 'levels nd Leader. , A suit having been brought against i defendant his counsel interposed a lemurrer that had the effect to throw t out of court. Soon afterward the nme lawyer was elected to congress, mw while at his post of duty re was surprised one day to receive a letter "rom his former client, saying: "I am sued again. Please send me mother one of them things they call lemurrers." A man ought to feel satisfied with limself when he feels that everybody :lse is. EXCURSION I -ESTON j I A and A. C.
