that she killed herself, there is no
cause known by relatives or friends, s
to strengthen this belief. 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. However, the autopsy revealed
nothing that could have beena taken(

The Mayor and Council,
Manning, S. C.
Gentlemen:
We are wvriting you a personal
prayer and petition again asking for
the erection of a light on the corner
of street near Caroline Mack's prop
erty, also property of Aaron Wein
berg, John Dickey, and others, on the
Paxville road near this endJ of the
tow.n's line.
We must complain that we have
not been treated as the other citizens
and tax payers of the towvn. We
have paidl and (10 pay the assessed
amount of taxes, yet wve (10 not en
joy in common wvith the other citizens
the benefit to be dIerivedl from our
supplort to the towvn government and
its expenditures.
We would memoralize the Council
with the fact that this town made
levy for a water system for the
benefit of its citizens and to promote
goodl health. To this we are paying
our~ part and yet we must suff'er be
cause we cannot get water nor lights
in common with the other citizens.
We have no other way of letting you
hear from us hence, wve pray and p~e
tition your body for similar conside
ration given other tax payers and
citizens in the Town of Manning.

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.

Forty thousand people publicly thank
Doan's. What other kidney remedy
can give this proof of merit, honsety
and truth ? Home testimony must
be true or it couldl not be published

shape with rheumatic pains and my
joints were so stiff and swollen that
I could hardly walk or do any work.
My kidneys actcd irregularly and I
had dizzy spells and headaches. The
kidney secretions were unnatural and
annoyed me codisidlerably. I' used
