WHITE MAN KILLS ANOTHER.
A Quarrel in Hampton County Over Whiskey
Leads to Fatal Affray.
Hampton, ' June 18.?News reached
here early this morning by telephone
communication that John Henry Pope,
Jr., killed Mont D. Ihley Saturday afternoon
at John Garvin's store, about 12
miles from Hampton. The facts as gathN
ered are as follows:
Ihley had been to Lena station, on the
Southern railway, where he received a
jug of whiskey by express, and was on
his way to hiB home, when he met Pope'
at Garvin's store, a few miles from Lena.
Pope demanded that Ihley sell him the
jug of whiskey. Ihley replied that he
would give him a drink bat would not
. sell the jug, whereupon the two men engaged
in a'heated quarrel and cursed each
other severely. Pope went to his wagon
and armed himself with his shot gun, firing
upon Ihley. The load entered under
the right arm, penetrating the lungs and
liver, almost severing them from the
body. Ihley returned the fire with a reb
volver, hitting Pope three times, injuring
him seriously, but not fatally.
Ihley died shortly afterwards. Both
men are supposed to have been drinking,
Pope especially, when the difficulty occurred.
Ihley leaves a wife and four
small children. Pope has a family also.!

bed early. As her mother was about to
^ leave her, she called ber back.
"Mamma," she said, "I want to see my
papa."
"No, dear," her mother replied, "your
papa is busy and must not be disturbed."
"But, mamma," the child persisted, "I
went to see my papa."
As before, the mother replied: "No,
your papa must not be disturbed."
But the little one c me back with a
clincher:
"Mamma," she declared solemnly, "I
am a sick woman, and I want to see my
minister."

IA QUEER POKER GAME=
, IT WAS PLAYED BY TWO STOCKMEN
IN A DENVER HOTEL
The Turn. That Came When the Fortunes
of Both Men Were Piled on
the Table?A Side Bet and a Card
That Was Not Shown to the Board.
The old St James hotel in Denver
was one of the landmarks of the city
for over a quarter of a century, and
many famous sporting men were
among its guests. Numerous stories
are told of the "stiff" poker games that
used to be played there in the late
eighties and early nineties of the last
century.
A game was played one night between
two stockmen, a banker and a
mining man. The story goes that the
mining man and the banker played until
they were "all in," leaving the two
stockmen to battle it out It came up
to the "consolation" jack pot, and those
who had lingered to 6ee the finish were
not disappointed when they expected
something spectacular to take place.
The stakes were running high, the ante
being $500, with no betting limit One
of the stockmen opened for $2,500 and
was promptly raised before the draw.
Then there followed a series of raises
and counter raises until the pot contained
$11,600 before cards were
drawn.
"Gi' me that one," blandly announced
the man who had "seen" the last
raise. The dealer slipped one card
annnta fho tnhip. laid the deck down,
| relighted his neglected cigar and said
unconcernedly, "I'll play these."
Then the betting commenced in earnest.
The player had opened, and he
led off with $2,600 as a "feeler." The
dealer raised a like amount and the
other fellow followed suit It was
plain that one or the other of the men
was going to lose his ^fortune. Checks
were written, torn up and made out
for larger amounts, and finally mortgage
papers on real estate and cattle
were passed into the pot Finally one
man said to the other:
"Say, Henry, I'm going to stay with
you until everything I've got, right
down to the clothes on my back, is represented
on the table. Now, I'm in
doubt as to some of my property holdings.
so I'll make you a proposition.
Give me until tonight -(it was then
4 a. m.) to find out just where I stahd
and we'll play the hand out. Meantime
let us seal up my hand in one envelope,
yours in another and the deadwood in
still another. We'll leave the three enTToi/inoo
in tha nff?r?p snfp. to be deliver
ed to both of us together."
The other player agreed, and envelopes
and sealing wax were sent for.
The hands and remaining cards in the
deck were duly sealed and deposited
as per arrangement.
Meantime friends of the two players
endeavored to get the men together on
some sort of compromise proposition,
knowing full well that neither could
afford to bank his entire fortune on a
poker hand, leaving his family destitute,
but both men were obdurate and
would listen to no proposition to split
the pot An interested and expectant
group gathered in the lobby about 8
o'clock in the evening, among them being,
the man who had opened the pot
They talked together in a friendly manner,
speculating upon what would happen
when the man who went to look
up bis assets returned. While they
were talking he walked in.
"Well, Henry, I'm ready to resume
our little argument" he announced in
a matter of fact tone. Then the crowd
repaired to the room where the game
had been played. The man announced
that he had $38,000 to "play back."
Securities and certified checks representing
this amount were piled on the
table. Then, and not until then, did
either of the men show signs of nervousness.
The opener had drawn a
check for $33,000 and started to tear
it out of the book when the other man
said in a slow, deliberate voice:
"Looks a little strong for either of
us, doesn't it, Henry?"
. 44Well," rejoined the other man, toying
with the check, "what would you
consider a fair proposition at this stage
of the game?"
44It's not gambling, I know," said the
other, "but if you want to split the pot
and"?
"She's split,** calmly announced the
man who had opened for $2,500. The
currency, gold, checks, mortgage papers
and securities were equally divided.
Not a word was spoken. Silently
the man who opened took up the ennnan

two hands on the table, faces downward.
"Bet yon a cigar I had yon beat," he
bantered.
"You're called," said the other, turning
over four cards, jacks and sixes.
The orener also turned over four cards.
They were Jacks and sixes.
"I'll bet you," said the dealer, "a
thousand dollars that I've still got you
beat"
The other man peeped at a corner of
his burled card, toyed a moment with
a stack of currency and shoved $1,000

by a motion of bis band and -whispered:
"Lockhart, I may have but a
minute to speak to you. My dear, be
a good man. Be virtuous, be religious
?be a good man. Nothing else will j
give you any comfort when you come

Nelson in the midst of his gratefulness
for having died victoriously for
England thought for a flashing moment
of his early record in its relation
to the life after death. "Doctor," he
said to the surgeon, "I have not been
a great sinner."
On the other hand, there are Innumerable
instances in the records of biography
pointing to the fact that men
die without a thought of the world beyond.
Charles II. died thinking of
"Poor Nell." Sir Richard Grenvllle
died with his mouth full of oaths, cursing
the "traitors and dogs" who had.
surrendered his little Revenge to the
Spaniards. History is full of such instances.

( Is one wilderness of snares, and the
end of It for those who fear the last
pinch is irrevocable ruin. And yet we
go spinning through it all, like a party
for the Derby."
A doctor tells me that in a very long
hospital experience he has never known
of a sensational deathbed. The approach
of death is, as n rule, doubted,
and up to the last moment of consciousness
the passing soul retains its
conviction in the endurance of earthly
things.
Soldiers tell the same story. To die
Jesting seems the last act of courage
possible to a fighting man, and he
makes the most of it. Endless are the
stories of soldiers dying In action with
a shout of humor on their lips.
, Even more wonderful is the cold
blobdedness of men going to the scaffold.
To feel the edge of the ax was
something of a jest in old days, and
there is the story of the felon going to
Tyburn who blew the froth from his
last mug of beer because It always
gave him indigestion!
And yet it is only in brief moments
that the true horror of death sweeps
over the soul. We do not thfnk about
it. We put it away from us. Humanity
has made up its mirfd not to be
frishtened. Death indeed is even preKofnro

tion for a painted doll will drive Fortunatus
to suicide. Money troubles
will fling a man under a passing express,
and dyspepsia has loaded many
a revolver. Life may be unendurable,
but death is not to be feared. Into the
unthinkable mysteries of the universe
a soul casts itself in a petulance and
the waters of death close over It without
a sound.
What has become of that soul?
Where is that consciousness gone?
that personality, that Individual force
which differed the man from every
other who ever lived?
But the mob who watch the poor
drenched and bloated and horrible
body wheeled away t& the mortuary
turn away without any realization of
death. They go to their taverns and
their merchandise, take up the old
greasy and well worn threads of their
existence, and getting of food monopolizes
all their thoughts.

The Dispensary (*rafters.
The case against dispenser John Black
was dropped and he will hold his place.
The committee did not appear against
him. Black has shot no one yet and it is
probable that he will not go into the killing
business. J. M. Cantey was before
the investigating committee. He testified
that he received $300 a month from
Fleischmann, whiskey dealers, for super[
intending the posting of their advertising
matter. He is a son-in-law of Mr. Childs
and a brother-in-law of L. W. Boykin, a
member of the board of control. Receiving
that money was not criminal.
The whiskey house had the right to give
J it to him and he had the right to use it.
{ So with all the grafters. Many of them
received money for nothing. They did
not earn it in a legitimate way. When it
dropped into their hats or laps, they
pocketed it and asked no questions. We
do not believe the most greedy and grasping
can be convicted of fraud in dealing
with the whiskey houses.?Carolina Spartan.
