Books that were owned and manu
scripts that were written by Samuel
M. Clements (Mark Twain) collected
in New York for disposal at auction
at an early date.
•'One of the early manuscripts is a
page of notes for an outline of a
portion of the story of "Tom Saw
yer.”
Among the other manuscripts is
one described as "An article on the
Inauguration of President Taft and
the deliverance of the country from
Mr. Roosevelt." dated March 6. 1D09.
A portion of it follows:
"Astronomers assure us that the

face of the sun is 28 times *s powci -^
fnl as Is the force *t the earth’s sur-'
fice, and that the object which
weighs 417 pounds elsewhere would
weigh 6,000 pounds there. For sev
en years this country has lain smotb-
erlng under a burden like tha , the
Incubus representing, in the person
of President Roosevelt, the differ
ence between 417 pounds and 6,000.
Thanks be, we got rid of this disas

At last! Fprever? Probably not.
.‘'Probably only for s brief breath

we may hope to get Ifsck some of our

to have Mr. Roosevelt sitting on us

any other presidential burden that
hostile Providence would Impose on
us for our sins.

Big New York Structure Will Tower
to a Height of 7SO Feet.
From the profits of hie five and
ten-cent stores Frank W. Wool worth
Is about to erect the tallest office
building in the world on the wester
ly side of Broadway, New York city
7t trill be 760 feet high or about 50
feet higher than the Metropolitan
tower, and nearly 160 feet taller than
the Ringer tower.
The Idea Is to have the main build
ing of from 27 to 3 0 stories Sur
mounting this, directly in the mid
dle, will rise a tower about 80 to 85
feet square, containing 25 stories,
making 56 stories In all.
This new skyscraper, which will
only be exceeded In height In the
world by the Eiffel tower. 985 feet,
will cost $12,000,000. or more. The
laud, which has been acquired In the
past year, has cost shout $5,000,000.
Ths building will cover s total ares
of 39.500 square feet and there will
will be 13.000,000 cubic feet in the
structure. It will be of the highest
fireproof construction.

The latest developments In the
tgaglc drama of Saturday night is
that the McAbees engaged In yet an
other pistol bout a short while liefore
the old man met his death at Hol
land's hands. Furman Turner Mon
day swore out a warrant for Will
McAbee, the dead man's son now In
the Greenville county Jail, charging
him with assault with Intent to kill.
The deponent alleges that he met
the McAbees In the road Just before
they reached Laurel creek bridge the
point where the men discovered that
they had taken the wrong road and
tamed to retrace their way, and that
when he falled^to produce whiskey,
which be says they demanded of him,
they opened Are on him. A second

Remitting the jail sentence* in the
case of Ed. Abbott and Frank Dear-
man Govarnor Blease Monday acted
In these well known cases. Abbott
and Dearman pleaded guilty to gam
bling In Spartanburg in 1907 and
were each sentenced to pay a fine of
$60 and serve a year on the public
workg of Spartanburg county.
The statement came from the gov
ernor's office that "they paid their
fines snd the governor has relieved
them of their sentences.”
• Abbott and Dearman pleaded
guilty to the charge of gambling in
July, 1 907, and were sentenced by
Judge R. O. Purdy to pay a fine of
$60 and serve a year on the public
works. The chain gang sentence,
however, waa suspended during good
behavior.
In July, 1910, Abbott and Dear-
man were caught In a gambling raid
at the Oregon hotel In Spartanburg
and were fined In the police court
and, later, upon a warrant sworn
out by representatives of the Law and
jOrdpr league, were taken before
Judge W. B. Gruber to show cause
why the sentence of one year on the
chain gang, suspended by Judge Pur
dy during their good behavior, should
not be enforced.
Judge Gruber decided the case
against Dearman and Abbott, direct
ing that they serve the sentence oi a
year on the public works.
From Judge Gruber's decision an
appeal was taken to the supreme
court. Solicitor Otts appearing for
the State. Last week the supreme
court sustained the lower court, di
recting that they serve the sentence.
When news of the court's decision
reached Spartanburg Abbott and
Dearman got busy with a petition for
a remission of the jail seatence This
was freely signed, it is said, and was
presented to Gov Please Sunday by
S. J. Nichols, of Spartanburg, who, it
is said, supported Gov. Blease.

At Coroaer'a Investigation, Slayer
of Yonng Medical Student Testifies
That She Shot to Defend Her Hon
or. as Floyd Had Istid Hands Upon
Her to Assault Her.
Facts brought out at the inquest
over the body of Robert H. Floyd,
which was held at Tabor, N. C., Mon
day, make the story of the killing
even more sensational than at first
reported. Mrs. Hayes was the only
witness at the inquest and coolly,
calmly and deliberately she told her
story, without a tremor and appa
rently without being moved.
Nine times she shot him, accord
ing to her account—seven times
while In a struggle, emptying a Crilt’s
automatic revolver. After she and
Floyd had fallen through hei - bed
room door on the floor of the hall.
Mrs. Hayes got up, went back Into
the room, got another pistol and
shot him twice more. y
The reason assigned by the we-
man for her act Is that Floyd made
an Improper proposal to her and
upon her resenting it laid .hands on
her and tried to overcome her by vio
lence.
It was learned from Tabor late
Monday afternoon that N. M<jjlayes,
the husband, and his brother, Lloyd
Hayes have both b^en arrested and
taken along with Mrs. Hayes to the
Jail at Whiteville, the county seat of
Columbus county. There was no In
timation given as to what connection
Lloyd Hayes had with the tragedy or
why he had been arreated.
A letter was found in Floyd's
pocket from Mrs. Hayes, written to
him In Charleston, In which he was
asked to come to Tabor as soon as
he could conveniently do so and
treat some moles which Mrs. Hayes
had on her face. Floyd, who had
jome local reputation as a "cancer
doctor." It is stated, had successfully
treated moles for Mr Hayes and for
this reason both he and his wife were
desirous that he should treat those
of Mrs Hayes.
The letter was of the friendliest
nature and Floyd was urged to come
as soon as possible and assured that
his expenses would be borne and that
he would be paid for his trouble He
and Mrs Hayca had been sweethearts
previous to her marriage to Hayes,
and the two men had been rivals for
her hand at the same time.
Floyd, with this letter, came to
Tabor and first called upon Vir
Hayee at his place of business down
town, showed him the letter and told
him he was at hla eervlce. Hayes,
who was often detained down town
late In connection with his store and
barbw shop, told the young man to
go on up to the house and Insisted
that he take supper and spend the
night
From this point nothing Is known
except what Is learned from M r s.
ayes’ account of the killing. After
entering the home Floyd waa killed
before even removing his hat or over
coat .
Mrs Hayes testified before the
coroner's Jury that Floyd came to
the door of her home, which was
locked: that she opened It. that they
spoke and he made Inquiry about her
moles, which he had come to treat,
he then made an Insulting proposal
to her. which she resented, and that
he then laid violent hands on her.
That Mrs Hayes acted coolly jmd
deliberately and fully Intended to
*111 Floyd Is borne out by further
Statement in her testimony: "SV’e
tuaselled toward the head of the bed,
when I ran my hands under the pil
low. got an automatic revolver, and
holding It close to hla breast I shot
him seven times. 1 wag running
backward toward the door and he
heldlng me We fell out the door
together, when I went back and got
another pistol and shot him twice
more."
The nine shots took effect, punc
turing hie body from the waist line
to f'e forehead.
' I had always considered him a
gentleman when he had been to our
house v 'several times before," was the
estimate put on the deceased by his
slater Mrs. Hayes was the only
person put on the stand and she re
lated her story calmly and distinctly.
Her htiiband, standing nearby, evi
denced not the least concern.

“You remember the great forest
fires which recently devastated so
many hundred square miles In Min

the Canadian border. Hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of people were
burned out of house and home. Their
misfortunes, like that of the suffer
ers of the Sicilian earthquakes, w»s
of a dramati- character which ap
pealed to the Imagination and
aroused human sympathy. A great
ery for relief went up from the
sufferers—and what shape do you
suppose It took? It was a demand
for the removal of the tariff duty
upon lumber.
"Of course, they wanted to rebuild
their dwellings as soon as possible,
also their outhouses and fences, and
therefore they wanted lumber at the
lowest obtainable priep. ^ Some of the
very men who, In ^ Congress, had
voted in favor of the Lumber Trust
and who had argued that the tariff
duties were an unalloyed and boun
