Of ficers had located him at the camp and Policeman Wagstaflf of Salisbury uiul Special State Officer Moore, who is a peace officer at the camp were in > the art of taking lludnell into aMo ! dy when the fatal shooting occurred. j Testimony at the inquest was to the effect, that lludnell had t^cn all the cartridges except one out of a pistol he had in his possession, and ft Is not known whether the shot he fired was' intended for the officer who was standing over him, or for himself. Some think he decided to end his life rather than submit to arrest and con ? viction on the charges, which he. is al leged to have admitted, it being re ported that he had served IS months in the Federal penitentiary in Atlanta on some other charge and was out on parole. The bullet entered the right side of the head near the ear, ranging across. The wounded man was put on a stretcher and brought to Lancaster, the intention being to take him to the I hospital. He was dead when Lancas ter was reached so the remains were taken to the J. F^Mackey Company's Undertaking department where an in quest was held and the coroner's jury held that he came to his death by a self-inflicted gun shot wound. Rela tives at Washington, N. C., were telegraphed and instructions were given to prepare the body for burial and ship to his home which was ac cordingly done, leaving here on the 3:36 p. in. Southern train Tuesday.? Lancaster News. A Good Word. Denouncing the younger generation is a favorite pastime of all critically disposed people. Most of us will freely admit that we do not under stand the up-rising generation. Once .1 read that seldom do two gen erations understand each other, and that three generations never under stand each other. There's a lot of truth' in that. Nothing is easier than to distrust people you do not under stand. The other day in Yazoo City, Miss., John Sharpe Williams, 71 years old, made a speech in which he warmly defended the younger generation. What he said was so original, so urf t sua 1 that it should niako us do som? thinking. The following paragraph is quoted from the News and Courier: "Iiut Senator Williams, much as he loved the ways of his own day, has no patience with those who would cry down the youth of today. "This is .In age of youth," he s*fid. "That is one of the reasons why I left public life. I wanted to turn over the reins to some one younger and more acquaint ed with the present generation." A -wise decision and broadly patriotic. And the grounds of Senator Williams' faith in the new generation are worth broadcasting. It is not that/ he dis counts the wisdom of the past. It is because he is confident that what is best in the past will survive. A man's past and his trailing are, he said, like the roots of a tree, "both being necessary for the lijV of either." Then hear him: "Modern scientists . have deserted the old saying that environment had a lot to do with a man's character and work and have learned that there is nothing in a man when he leaves the World that wa< r.r>t. born in him. So they Have introduced this law of heredity and you remember it. "Our children are in the saddle. They sho-w constancy in adversity, moderacy in prosperity arid intr-llt?vi. iti meeting the real problems of the world. They are born with something of the traits <.f their ancestors. The first thing for the new generation to do is to strive to improve on the de red it y of their children, and see ! they cannot rear them better than they themselves were brought up. This new generation has the ability t<> d<? this. Remember every favor which was given your father and mother by your grandparents and when th* chance comes return it and raise your children a little better than we were raised. "--Mrs. H.

The statement was received as in formation and tlu' commission adopt ed a resolution ordering a complete -probe of the' department. Mr. McGowan stated that the shortage lias been mude good by the bonding Jiouse that bonded Mr. Thom f Asked by members of the eonv mission if ho knew whether Mr. Thomas or his friends had made good the shortage through the bonding company, Mr. MeGowan replied that he did not know, but he understood friends of Mr, Thomas in Columbia had come to his aid. Mr. McGowan was also asked if he knew .where Mr. Thomas is, and he replied negatively, j The ^ shortage, Mr. McGowan ex plained, was .in the accounts of the Savannah river bridge commission, of which Mr, Thomas was ex of ficio treasurer. This commission is erecting the new span ovej- the Sa vannah river , rtt Savannah, and is composed of highway representatives from the two states. Following the discovery of the ^shortage, Mr, McGowan said, by the new secretary Ben M. Sawyer, Mr. Thomas' lesignaLkm Wns accepted on July 27. The commission voted to appoint a committee of three members, to make a thorough investigation of the highway department from the time of its organization >to the present time. The committee is authorized to employ experts to audit its books and make a close probe of .its affairs. ' The statement made by Chief Mc Gowan to the commission follows: "Mr. Chairman, it is my painful duty to officially inform 'the com mittee of the defalcation of L. H. Thomas. The amount thereof from the Savannah river bridge commis sion as reported is $17,267.88. This came about to the best of my knowl edge before I came here. It was discovered by Mr, Sawyer, and came to my knowledge first in somewhat detail through friends of Thomas. They asked me if I would accept his resignation and I told them J would if he would submit it that day and the shortage was made good. The shortage has been made good by the bonding company. His resignation | was accepted on the 27th day of July. 1 hat is all. There have been some other minor matters about check;; and things of that kind that don't amount to much.

I made no effort to have him arrested or apprehended. 1 saw no reason for that'. I did not con. j sidor it coming within my proper I power, preferring to wait and state ' the simple facts to the commission.
