Pacific Blockade. "Pacific blockade" Is a term invent ed by Hautefeullle, the French writer on International maritime law, to de scribe a blockadc exercised by a great power for the purpose of bringing pressure to bear on a weaker state without actual war. The pacific block ade has apparently established Itself as a legitimate means of coercing a weak power to observe its interna tional obligations without resorting to war for that purpose. It is a modern development and has usually been the act of several powers acting'ln concert. It was first employed in 1827, when the combined fleets of Great Britain, France and Russia blockaded a por tion of the Turkidh coast. More re cent instances of its exercise were the blockade of Crete by the powers in 1897, the blockade Of Venezuelan ports by Great Britain, Germany and Italy in 1902 and of Turkish ports by the powers in 1905.

"The soldier watched the barge a long time, and, when the bridge was at last reach?*d, he took the cigarette from his mouth and shouted down to the plucky oarsman : ,, "'Well, so long, old timer! Don't forget to bring us n parrot back with you!'" What la Biggeat Woodcock? What Is said to be the heaviest woodcock was one shot by Arthur I>uane near Whlttaker's, L. L, about .rthlrty years agft.

Apparently new light has been thrown upon the mysterious killing of Jim Hogg and H. I). Marley, j the two well known planters in the Al lendale section last week. The report . flrst sent out broadcast over the coun- J try that Hogg was shot by Marley, and then while Hogg was wounded and lying on the ground that he shot and killed Marley has been completely upBet, ac-* cording to the testimony of Carrie Stan ley, at Aiken before Hon. Robert L. Gunter, the eolocitor of the circuit. From the evidence of Carrie Stan ley. who is separated from her husband and has been Marley's housekeeper, it appears that a crowd of- white farmers of the Allendale section shot Marley to death after coaxing him out of his house with the promise of protecting him on Iiim way to surrender to the ?herllT.

D. Marley, about three-quarters of a mile from Cohen's Bluff, to pay a visit As Hogg reached the Marley gate he was attacked by Marley's dog, t)iid being afraid of a bad bite from the animal is alleged to have yhot and kNled it forthwith. Marley, seeing the dead dog, and Hogg with hia gun in his hand, came out of hit) home and is said to have fired one load of allot in the breast of Hogg, who fell face down on the ground. Lewis then dodged behind a tree until Marley en tered hia home, when he ran to the oth er mejrubers af the fishing party and told them of the shooting. It is testified by Carrie Stanley fur ther that the whole party, sotne eight in number, then hastened to the Marley home, and after coaxing him outside shot hint to death. The affidavits of each member of the party conflict with tiie woman's state ment, the party claiming that Marley was standing over tile prostrate 'body of llogg when ithe >party arrived and that Marley appeared in a threatening manner. ?* The testimony of the woman states that whinkcy wan on the breath of hcv orrfi unenvberK the fishing party, she especially designates John Dunbar, whom she charges with firing the ,two shots into Marley's body. Dr. Johnson Peoples, .Hworn, stated "I find nine shot holes from t&e back of Marley's .body. Five in the front, and complete laceration of the lower part of the skull at the back, as if from a number of shot. Some of the wounds were due to shot going through from the front. v ' The (people in the KMenton section and many in this locality are well ac quainted with all the parties concerned and great interest is being taken' in the ferreting out of the killings. , The men are under arrest but will apply today for bail.
