THE FORT MILL TIMES VOL. XVII. FORT MILL, S. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1909. NO. 44. SOUTH CAROUI News of Interest Gleaned Fro Arranged For LAUREN'S TRAGEDY. Officer Stone and Burglar's Fatal ' Fight. Laurens, Special.?Few tragedies have so shocked the people of the community as the result of a deadly encounter Wednesday night between Patrolman McDuflie Stone and \V. Frank Walker and an unknown burglar, whose outfit of tools indicates that he was a safecracker. The unknown yeggman lies dead at the city station house and Patrolman Stone died at 0:30 Thursday afternoon. The story of the tragedy as learned from Mr. Walker and Mr. Stone is that in the course of their nightly rounds the two policemen met the through freight from Spartanburg, which ar. rived here at 2:15, as is their custom. Upon reaching the depot Mr. Stone walked down one side of the train of cars and Mr. Walker down the other. Seeing a stranger with a little moat sack in bis linn<l, Mr. Stone accosted him and inquired what he was doing. "I am a trainman," replied the stranger. "I am going back to the caboose." "Well, where is your lantern?" said Mr. Stone, "train hands don't walk around here in the dark." Thereupon Mr. Stone advanced in reach of the man and laid his hand upon his shoulder, about to arrest him, such being instructions relative to loafers at the depot. As soon as Stone's hand touched the stranger lie whipped out his pistol, a .4o calibre, magazine, from inside bis vest and began firing, emptying tho eharmber, five of the shots taking effect in the body of Stone, one in the bowels, three in the fleshy part of the leg nnd one in the lower lip. So close was the range that Stone did not have an opportunity to draw so clinched his antagonist and together they fell to the ground. They were so lying when l'ol iceman Walker crawled under from the other side of the train, the stranger struggling to loose himself, lie was almost free from the weakening hold of Sfone and was reloading his pis tol when Walker came upon him. "Don't shoot," cried tlie stanger, ' "I am already shot to pieces," which 1 of course was a bluff to gain time, \ for Stone had never drawn his pis 1 \ tol. I will surrender," said lie. I "Give me your pistol then," said \ Walker. Pretending to hand the pis1 tol to the policeman, the stranger ) flred at Walker, who quickly drew I and sot the man to his death, four or five shots taking effect. In the sack [ i which he held in his hand was a com| plete yeggmnn's outfit with nitrol glycerine, dynamite, keys, wrenches, j etc. He had .fllO.GO about him. ^ An Educated Pig. Mr. J. It. Henderson, of Branch ville, has a very tine milk cow that gives a great quantity of milk, and, I of which he is very proud, says the Anderson Intelligencer. For the pnst few weeks this cow has not been giving the usual amount of milk, even when the feed was increased and the best of attention given she still failed to give any more milk. Suspicion , tvas aroused by this and thinking that ! someone was visiting his barn yard ; in the peaceful and still hours of the j time when men should sleep, and ap' preprinting the milk to their use a watch was made to find cut the pnr' ties. The one that was getting the milk from this fine stock was found, and who do you suppose it was? One of those Berkshire pigs in the same lbt had learned that this milk was the best of food for himself and he was peacefully making a meal on tho I l._4 ZJ11IK liutl miuuiu ijuvy Uiiu tut? pail. \ ! !??s 1 - -.

INAUGURATED Provisional Governor Magoon Escorts General Gomez to the Palace For the Inauguration Ceremonies, and Then Sails From the Island on the New Maine?Cuban Gunboat Sees the Americans Safely Off. Havana, By Cnblc.?Major Gen. i ernl Jose Miguel Gomez was inaugurated President of the restored Cuban republic Thursday at noon and with- , in an hour after he had taken the solemn oath of office administered 1 by the Chief Justice of the Supreme 1 Court, the American officials who had 1 been in control of affairs since the ( autumn of 190G had departed from the island. I The American provisional Gover- , nor, Charles E. Magoon, who escorted , General Gomez to the palace and here turned over to him the reins of government, sailed on the new Maine. The Maine was followed by the battleship Mississippi and the army transport McOlellan. A swarm of small vessels joined in the procession out of the harbor. A Cuban gunboat also aceompnnied tho ships some little distance to sea with a band on board playing from time to time tho Cuban national anthem. Earlier in the day Governor Magoon and President-elect Gomez were seated side by side in the carriage en route to tho palace in tho wake of a galloping escort of rural guards or native cavalry there was silence on the part of the holiday throngs who lined the sidewalks. Hats were lifted as the carriage swept by. and the salutes were returned in the same manner by the Governor and General Gomez. At night fireworks burned through out tne city in tlie same profusion that characterize the 4th of July in the United States, and the cafes were gay with music and sinking. About 3,000 troop are still on the island under the command of Major General Thomas L. Rarry. These will be returned to the United States as fast as the transport sendee will permit, the last of the troops leaving on April 1st. Cuba begins her new period of independence under conditions which seem as propitious as could b? evolved. Peace reigns from the western extremities of Pindar del Ria to the eastern promontories of Santiago province, and no disturbing element is anywhere in evidence. TWO MORE JURORS ACCEPTED. Nine Men Are Now In tbe Jury Box to Hear the Cooper Trial?Fourth Veniro is Ordered. Nashville, Tenn., Special.?The ninth day of the trial of Duncan B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp, for the murder of former Senator Edward W. Carmack closed with two additions having been made to the jury, which now numbers 9. The two recent acquisitions are Gus Knipfer and P. O. Beirman. Up to Friday Night, 1,165 talesmen have been examined in an effort to get the 12 men. Of those who qualified the State challenged 13, the defense challenged 23 and the court summarily excused two after they had been declared satisfactory to both sides. It is conceded that the action of the State in charging two talisment with perjury has greatly reduced the chances of getting a jury at once. Many of those summoned say they may have expressed an opinion at the time the murder occurred, and for fear of an indictment, they disqualify themselves. After hearing testimony in the case of Juror Whit worth, whose health is said to he such that his life would be endangered by the confinement incident to the trial of the case, Judge Hart was disposed to excuse him at once, but the State asked that a derision ho withheld until the next panel was exhausted. European Powers Keeping Peace Between Turkey and Bulgaria. Paris, Special.?An official note issued hero sets forth that the powers of Europe are earnestly continuing their efforts to prevent an outbreak of hostilities between Turkey and Bulgaria, an outcome threatened Dy the recent mobilizations by both countries couoerned. 5J MORE ABOUTPELLAGRA A. Grave Menace to Hoalth Consideration in the South. i Washington, Special.?Looming up as a gravo menaco to health conditions in the South is the recent appearance of a deadly disease known to medical scientists as "pellagra." For several centuries "pellagra" is known to havo existed in the Old World, but its presence in the Somh hus but recently been discovered. This peculiar disease has been diagnosed as true pellagra and the rcedit for its discovery in the South j belongs to Passed Assistant Surgeon li C. H. Lavindcr, of the public health I and marine hospital service. "Pel- J logrn" is a malady caused by the < eating of spoiled "maize" and pro- r duces in persons afflicted with it a sort of intoxication. The disease gen- x orally occurs among the poorer 1 classes of the rural population who ( CllKptot 1 t Miuom mrgeiy or exclusively, on li corn most usually prepared by boiling ' corn menl in salt water called "pol- ^ cntia" in Italy. Dr. Lavinder states j that in pellagrous countries the corn is often of a poor quality, gathered v before maturity and not properly cured and stored, so that parasites more easily develop upon it. (j "The disease usually begins with gastro-intestinal disturbances," says s Assistant Surgeon Lavinder, "follow- i; ed shortly by the erythema of the | skin, and in a brief while there is j more or less involvement of the ner- \} cons system. It is slowly advancing ( toxemia, the brunt of whiuh, in the ( end, is borne by the nervous system, < find each annual recurrence leaves a , deeper and more indelible mark on ( the mental and nervous condition of the sufferer." The great gravity lies in the number of people affected, j and in its immediate and remote con- . sequences not only to individuals, but j, to the race?intellectual feebleness, y lessened resistance, economic loss, phvsical deterioration of the race, .. etc." ' v Concerning the etiology of the discase, it is said to be an intoxication 0 due to using as food Indian corn s (maize), which under the influence of unidentified parasitic growths t (funppl), has undergono certain changes with the production of one . or more toxic substances of 11 cliem- 11 icnl natures. Within the past twb or y three years, for some reason or rea- . sons unknown, this disease lias rap- I idly increased in numbers and ex- (. tent of territory affeetd. '"Pllngra" V bears a close resemblance to the notent to territory effected. "Pellagra" v it occurs in the old world, though dif- 11 fering in some particulars, and the , acute cases greatly preponderate and 1 the mortality is high. "Since it is of a serious nature, and epidemic in 11 character," declares Dr. Lavinder, "knowledge concerning it is becoming of much importance to the American physician and especially to the c practitioner in the Southern States." 1' a Roosevelt and Fairbanks Gue3ts at * Dinner of Gridiron Washington, Special.?Farewell to ( President Roosevelt and Vice-Presi- n dent In their official capacity only, M was said to them Saturday night by c the famous Gridiron club of Washing- * ton newspaper men. v The occasion was the annual winter n dinner of that club. In all there were nearly 200 guests, and. as its always the case, the roll included many that b figure conspiciously in the hall of o fame. Ambassadors, justices of the ii supreme court of the United States, t cabinet officials, senators, representatives, editors, publishers and men of u affairs generally, were in this gather- i; ing of guests of the newspaper men. n It was far from a sad affair, g though the occasion was of a farewell v nature, Gridiron dinners never are sad. As the president and vice-pros- \ ident were the guests of honor, so they came in for equal prominence n in the fun of the evening. Water Wagon a Feature. The temperance movement that has swept over the country showed its effect on the club. As the souvenir c of the dinner, the guests were given I "H-2-0," illustrated Grid-Iron alma- \ nacs, published by the "Grid-Iron r Water Wagon Press." P.etwecn its covers there was no remedy given for the ills of 'statesmen, journalists, real newspaper men, molly coddles, d malefactors of r-ronf wonltli '' nfVinr . ^ than plain "II-2-0" In this nlnmnnc, h the "Teddy Roar" formed the een- h tro of the Zodiac, while the entile / production was marked as forwarded h to con press as "special message No. a 232323232323." i "A Total Eclipse." b The guests observed particularly I that a total eclipse of the year is s due "early in March," and "will h? t viewed with interest by the United r States, Canada, Africa and Oyster a Bay." t Glass Works Resume.
