But the second chapter wan not so pleasing. The Senate bank ing committee, which it conducting the hearing, finding no instructions to convert it.ixrto a cheap, midway affair, promptly warned newspaper photographers that if pictures of Mr. Morgan and the midget were used their cameras would be barred from future hearings.

Because of the fact that it was not known as to what j>oison was I used the excretion was carried to Charlotte by Mr. Deaton for an i anaylsis. Mr. Deaton .made the trip to Charlotte in record breaking time. Officers h?ye eet ont in pursuit of him after he pussed through the city but on his way back he stopped and told the police why he was making his wild ride. Mr. Howell, who has been employed by the .Standard Oil Company for| eme time, <waa believed to have tab on bichloride of mercury tablets in an endeavor to commit suicide. However, it was reported at noon on Monday that he wee doing well. It is reported that Deaton made the flying trip from Kershaw to Charlotte, a distance of fifty-five miles in a little more than forty minutos. Financial troubles is given as the cause for the rash act Mr. Howell.

It was the largest rise of price since April 1919.

The atory is writj ten by Sidney N." Sh unci iff, member of the American society of landscape ! architects, who was a visitor here I last spring. Ho also took a number of interesting photos which took up i four payee in the Sportsmen.

It ?was one of the most profusely illustrated articles of Camden and her estates appearing.in many years: ^ in 11*27 Mr. Harry 1). Kirkover and Mr. Ernest' *L. Woodward, both of Buffalo, New York, were so fascinated by the unhurried coloniu! atmos-1 phere of the historic old town of Camden, South Carolina, its mild climate, and its unexcelled opportunities for sport that both deckled to make their winter homes there. * Mr. Woodward purchased "Holly Hedge," the old Governor Johnson estate, one of the few places which had been kept, complete with its gardens, in an almost perfect state of preservation. Across the street Mr. Kirkover built on an old site a fine new home which he calls "The Hedges." These two gentlemen have shown an almost unprecedented public spirit by*purchasing nearly all the land on one side of the town, and by building [on this land the huge Springdale Have Course with stables arid kennels Uidhdning, all of which they maintain.

I know of no small place in the Sout^i which can equal the perfection of detail to be found in Mr. Ernest L. Woodward's "Holly Hedge." The simplicity of the old white clapboarded house with its dormer win\> dowa and two-story shady portico accounts for a part of its attraction, but no camera can do justice to the verdant dark green of the evergreen privet, holly, cedar, magnolia, and laurel foliage which contrasts ?o pleasantly with the brilliant blossoms of azaleas and camellias. Clipped holly hedges wind along each side of the formal entrance driveway and then, turning into the garden in fronti of the house, go into a series of ^er-j pent.ne curves which could ?>niy have j hovn laid out by a disciple of the natura..-t:c style which reached Amer-j :t early r. he la-* century.

M iss Elbert a Shealy, 20, and Ernest Knon, 21, of the same section, were so seriously injured that phyirsieians said, their recovery was I doubtful. The Long sisters died en route to the Leesville inftrmary where Miss uShoaley, suffering from a fractured [ skull, a broken arm, and other injuI ries, was taken for treatment. Koon was taken to the Baptist hospital at Columfbia. Attaches there said tonight he was "barely ahve." Persons wbo investigated the accident said an automobile in which the four were riding collided with A machine driven by Mre. Marion Steele at a road intersection. Airs. Steele and occupants of her automobile were said to have escaped serious injury. Columbia, June 5.?One boy was killed, a ftve-year-old girl had her neck fractured, and nine other persons were injured, some seriously, last night about 7:30 o'clock when two automobiles came together in a cloud of dust on the Monticeilo road, about 18 miles from Columbia, near Hinnant's store. r>,The dead: Douglas Rutland, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Rutland, of Rion, Fairfield county.

Four negroes were released after they were not identified in a hospital by Madison Stone, dangeorusly shot when Miss~Thelma Martin was killed by two negroes a few miles from Spartanburg. Two of them were arrested at Calhoun Falls, and the lone policeman there had difficulty in preventing mill workers from lynching them, and in getting them to the Abbeville jail, from which they were taken to Spartanburg later. Hundreds of people attended the funeral of Miss Martin at Pacolet Mills churdh on Wednesday. Officers are without definite idea of the identity of her slayers, but are trying to trace a homemade walking stick with which she and Stone were beaten, which was found at the scene of the crime. Patrolman Killed Spartanburg, June 1.?J. D. Cunningham, 30, a state highway patrolman, was fatally injured near here today when his motorcycle was in a head-on collision with the automobile of Miss Ruth Drummond, 45, Woodruff school teacher. Cunningham died at a hospital here several h-urs after the accident. Slightly hurt. Miss Drummond also recc.ved treatment at tho hospital The patrolman reeeived a crushed ,-k'uh and h.s left arm ar.d both legs were broken. Cunningham is survt . ed by a widow and a small son here, where the family had lived for five months. "Mulberry" plantation near Camden. which originally included 4,100 ucres, is now owned by Mr. David R. Williams, a direct descendant of the Ohesnut family to whom the land was granted six generations ago. The house, built about 1820, is the third on the same site, and one of the first to be constructed in this part of the South with three living floors in addition to its high basement. At one time "Mulberry" was run on so grand * svale that over a hundred slaves .vere quartered jr. the old slave yard, tow destroyed. Still remaining are some of the old barns and individual legro houses The stable, where Mr. rViliiams keeps some thirty horses, is >f more modern construction. 1 About 20 towns in 12 counties in South Carolina were killed as municipalities by an act of the legislature without many people knowing it. They small places, often without offices filled, containing a store as the princijial reason for existence, The last session of solons placed a tax on all stores in incorporated towns, and it was cheaper to cancel the charter of the town than to pay the special tax on the store. Others are expected to comtmit suicide thus this year. Wants?For Sate FOUND?A girl's coat, sife to At an 11 or 12 year old girl.
