At the c same time there is no reason to sus- ii pect that she was murdered and in- n dications are that the shooting was V not accidental. g The woman was about twenty-three f years of age and was well thought of t by both the whit s people of the com munity and the colored people among a whom she lived. She had been teach- h ing school in the community for g three years nnd Friday she had been a seen by a number of people going t home from school. Saturday after- t noon sometime after about 4:30 'l o'clock several negro women stopped t by her house, but failed to find her c nt home. They took a path from the house to the railroad track, a short distance away, and while passing through a cotton patch about a hun dIred yards frohi the house they saw \ the body lying on the ground. Upon closer insp~ection they sawv a gun lying 3 beside the b~ody and that the top of the woman's head had been shot I away. They became frightened and ran away to give the alarm. I Coroner Seale was among those no tified soon afterwards and he left for il the scene late Saturday evening. In the meantime some of the white men of the neighborhood had be'n noti tied( and had exa;mined the body and 3 grounds. They failed to find any track going away from the place . where the wvoman's body was lying which indicated that death was lby suicide andl not murder. It was also noticedl that a stick about the length and size of a yard stick was lying b~y the gun and that the print of the butt of the gun was on the ground a little in front of and nearly betwveena the woman's footprints. This led t the men to think that the woman 2 had killed herself by putting the muz- '1 zIe of the wvenpon to her forehead and J pushing the trigger with the stick. I There was a round spot on the fore- I head burnt b~y the powder from the I explosion. The bones of the head I were not crushed, but were dislocated and blown off from the rest of the body, a wad of the gun being found lying on a part of the brains. Coroner Scale upon his arrivan em- I panelled a jury, but no witnesses were c heardl except the physician, wvho upon c request of the jury, performed ant autop~sy on the body to see, if by this c means ho could secure any evidence c which would be thought a sufict cause for the woman committing sui-t cIe.

HAVE SCHOOL FOR OWNERS Bishop, McCormick & Bishop, deal ers in Dodge Brothers cars in Brook lyn, have evolved a novel plan for making sure that those who buy cars from them know all about the cars. They have established a school for owners. A tuition fee large enough to make the school self-supporting is charged. The fact that large classes have already enrolled and are attending regular peCriods of instruc t~ion indicates that the owners are in hearty accord with the Brooklyn deal ers' belief that they would derive much more benefit and pleasure from t~heir cars if they knew more about t~hem. 2 The school is in chnrge of Prof. Frank A. Burr, a former teacher of engineering in Cornell University and Penn State. The instruction embraces the ope ration of the car and the care o parts and is very thorough. ADVERTISE IN THlE TIMES.
