New York, Nov. 20.?Half crazed by jealousy because of her husband's attention to another woman, Mrs. Lottie Hitchcock, shot and instantly killed her husband, Robert L. Hitchcock, a compositor, as he lay sleeping in bed in their home in the Bronx this morning, then turning the revolver upon herself, Mrs. Hitchcock inflicted several wounds in' her head and breast from which it is expected that she will die. She was arrested and sent to the hospital, Result of Competition. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 21. ?The news from Atlanta yesterday that Mr. Gentry, of the Southern Bell Telephone company acknowledged before the railroad commission that his company had cut prices in Savannah with the view of running out opposition caused little surprise here. The Bell company has been giving rebates in Savannah for sometime, i * oecause 01 me cumpcuuuxx ux ure Georgia Telephone company, a local concern. Savannahians have enjoyed low telephone rates for several years. The local company is prevented by its franchise from selling out to the Bell and it is doubtful if the Bell people have ever tried to buy them out. Both companies give good service and the price of phones ranges 1 from $18 a year upward to $36. There was a time when phones were put in for a dollar a month but this . . price has been abandoned. Tramps Moving South. It appears from reports in northern newspapers that .the annual movement -of tramps towards the South for the winter months has already set in, and that the volume of the undesirable travelers is quite as large as ever before. Railroad operatives say the wanderers are stealing rides in numbers as large as during the hard times of eight or ten years ago. The tramp population floats with the seasons, going North and West in spring and summer and coming South in autumn and winter. Indeed, it follows the flow of the travel of tourists who pay their, way. . v Gossip Crazed Her. New York, Nov. 20.?Mrs. Lottie Hitchcock, of No. 769 East Fifteenth street, shot and killed her husband, Robert, today and turning the re volveron herself, inflicted wounds from which she cannot recover. The young woman was prompted to her rash act by stories that neighbors had told her husband she had been in company of other men. He admonished her last night and she returned: "I will prove to you in the morning that I am not the woman the gossips ; sot I am." , Mrs. Hitchcock arose before her husband, and, walking quietly to a dresser, secured a pistol which she loaded. Crawling on her knees to the bed where her husband lay asleep, she fired two shots through his heart. He died without uttering a word. She then returned to the dresser, extracted a box of cartridges, coolly reloaded the weapon and then fired three shots into the left side above her heart and a fourth into her head. May Die From Hazing. Vermillion, S. D., Nov. 21? Excitement prevails in the University of South Dakota at this place over the hazing that will probably result in the death of Miss Anna Johnson, a pretty student from Howard, S. D. It is believed several students will be expelled. Locked in a room on the third floor, Miss Johnson, a freshman, attempted to escape by a rope made of lace curtains. She lost her hold, and fell sixty feet to the frozen ground. Dispensary Wins Case. Richmond, Nov. 20.?The dispensary won its case today when Judge Pritchard of the Federal circuit court refused to issue a mandamus asked for by the attorneys of the Garrett liquor house. The case did not even go to the court. Therefore the Garrett concern will simply have to take back the goods which the commission turned down or get nothing for them and the commission will go ahead and pay out the funds on hand in settlement of indebtedness of the old state dispensary. There have been seventeen killings in Barnwell county since the first of January. What a record! A widow of Nuremburg, Pa., fair, fat and forty-five, sued a boy of seventeen for breach of promise. " - in lne jury wry yivyxzuy uwtuvu > . favor of the boy; for they reasoned that a fellow of that tender age was as dough or putty in the hands of an experienced and seasoned widow of forty-five. "If ye please, mum," said the ancient hero, in an appealing voice, as he stood at the back door of the cottage on wash-day. "I've lost my leg"?"Well, I ain't got it," snapped ; the woman, fiercely. And the door closed with a bang. The first ingredient in the making of a clean city is the home. There is something lacking about the minister who is popular with the worldly minded. WOriAN WHIPS MINISTER. Objects to Statement Published About Her and Waylaid Him. New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 20.Rev. P. B. Hambrosky, pastor of the Hungarian Presbyterian church, was horse-whipped Saturday night by Mrs. L. Nanassy, wife of the pastor of the Hungarian Reformed church, of Alpha-, N. J., who declared that Hambrosky had caused to be printed in a Hungarian church paper scandalous statements about her and her husband. Rev. Stephen Boris, pastor of the Hungarian Reformed church /?ifv cmH T?ov Mr Vain of VI tlllO WVJ ) IM1U A?\/? vy ? the same denomination, at Trenton, were with Mrs. Nanassy at the time. Mrs. Nanassy waited all Saturday for Mr. Hambrosky and struck him several times. Mr. Hambrosky said he would take no action against the woman, but denied that he had made any untruthful charges against her. The affair is said to be partly incidental to a religious war between the Presbyterian and Reformed denominations of the Hungarians. Outside organizations have been here for some time trying to start a Reformed church, and Mr. Hambrosky has vigorously opposed them. NEGRO PYTHIANS RAIDED. Alarming Sounds Caused Citizens to Break Into Room. Anderson, Nov. 21?"Help, help! Run for Dr. Earle! Get the turpentine bottle and get it quick!" were some of the shrieks heard by loungers on the plaza last night. Evident? -1-1- ? 1 3 ly some one was in trouoie or nau been fatally wounded thought the loungers and they began rushing in the direction from whence the entreaties came. A couple of Anderson's policemen were in the crowd. The crush finally was attracted to the door of The Enterprise, a notorious negro dive, which furnishes nine-tenths of the cases in police court. The throng took only a few minutes to smash the door into smithereens and they were soon bounding up the stairs to the second floor from which the shrieks were continuing to come. A big black negro blocked the crowd at the door of one of the rooms and gave them to understand that there would be no admittance. "You can't get in here. You ain't allowed," yelled the negro. "If you don't fade away this instant, I'll punch your face," retorted Max Muller, the middleweight champion wrestler, who was in the bunch. The negro was finally overcome and the door pushed open. The officers and their assistant raiders were somewhat abashed with what they saw. About 20 negro men were peacefully sitting around the room and in each end of the room sat a negro robed as if he was presiding at court. "You gentleman are not wanted in here. You have not 4-/V lv% ooi/l flic ally UUSlilCSQ IU UC HCIC) owu vuv prime minister sitting in one end of the hall. "Don't yon know a K. of P. lodge room when you see one? Can't you see we are conferring the third or knight degree on some candidates?" The raiders meekly retreated and the officers went off tc the place whence they came. This was not the first time that officers were attracted to the negro K. of P. lodge room. Two officers made a raid on the lodge about 30 days ago. They did not know what they were raiding and as soon as it was ascertained that initiations were going on, they departed and since they were alone, the fact that they had made the raid never leaked outside of police circles until today. LAKE CITY riERCHANT HISSING. B. Wallace Jones' Whereabouts Since Sunday Puzzles His Son. Columbia, Nov. 21.?B. Wallace Jones, a prominent merchant of Lake City, is missing. The last seen oi him was at the Caldwell Hotel here Sunday morning, when his friend. Chairman Caughman, of the railroad commission, endorsed a check for him for $5. Mr. Caughman met Mr, Jones coming into Columbia from Augusta Saturday night. He told the commissioner that he had beer "out West" for about a week, had Vk/ion /-Jnxxm fMiaeiaemni nnH nnf: intf UV ?f AA WV VM.V. -Arkansas. He said he was a bit short of cash and Mr. Caughmar cashed his check for $5 to enable hirr to pay his hotel bill. Mr. Caughmar says there was nothing about Mr, Jones' appearance to attract his special attention and he thought nc more of the incident until this morning, when he received the following letter from Lake City: "Dear Sir: We were today notified by the bank here of a check mj father had given you for $5, which we were unable to protect. Will you kindly, Mr. Caughman, advise me where my father was when he gave you the check, in what place, and il you can give me any further information as to where we could locate him now.

We can expect movements !rom each present center that will lave eccentric force, whereas controled and directed by wise forethought >n the part of those whose interests ire at stake and converged, as it were, n one mighty movement untold good will inure to all involved in this interlecine commercial struggle. These vast economic interests and :onsequent movements must evolve !rom somewhere a code of ethical ecolomics which will expound in clear I :erms the motif and fundamentals of ] A +A?i^AT,/iiflo Pnnonao t\f jrtfsstjm uaj icuucu^m. mvu??v ?lie very nature of these conditions as liey now exist this movement will not !>e evolved according to conventional expectation. People read, people think md wrongs are righted in these times, is this great wrong will be. Many of the various larger interests ipproached for a solution of this question during the last eighteen months or jo have approved, hesitated, quibbled jnd finally ended up by doing nothing. This failure to bring about an active force to combat the system appears as almost a providential decree for the 1 birth of the Home Trade League of ( America, which will represent in full- j ?st measure the crystallized thought and the best directed efforts of the 1 thousands interested, who are only waiting for the bugle call to fall in line. The Home Trade league stands for an order of commercialism which is essentially American. It stands for the i American retail merchant in the field be has pioneered, pre-empted, has built up and maintained and made it the very foundation on which the commercial superstructure of the nation has been reared. . It stands for a square deal for the consumer. It believes the merchants are for the people and not the people for the merchants. It believes the con- ] sumer is the logical ally of the retail < merchant and should be able to buy J his merchandise in his home town at < prices that compete with the retail < mail order house. < It stands for honest advertising?a ] truthful representation of the merchandise offered. It stands for a square deal for the retail merchant and believes the manufacturer and jobber should place him on an equal footing with the retail mail order houses, believing if he Is thus placed he can hold his own. It believes the manufacturer and jobber cannot consistently sell both the retail merchant and those that are committed to his elimination, and therefore should elect which to supply. It believes in all justice that they should protect the retail merchant (who is their local agent) by refusing to sell the retail mail order houses. It stands for a square deal for the country press, whose very existence is threatened in this effort of the retail mail order system to eliminate the country merchant, which means the /Hcin+Qtrrnf-irm nf ronntrv cities and towns. Neither the retail mail order houses nor the country merchant is selling gold dollars for 50 cents, but the former sometimes use printer's ink to make It appear so. The co-operation of the country press is already assured in this movement, and the country merchants must use it to survive. The Home Trade league is unalterably opposed to the destructive policy inaugurated by the retail mail order system, but stands rather for the upbuilding of the home towns and to so protect the existing order of things that they may hereafter be maintained by those who have built them and the community life centered there may continue to live in peace, plenty and the pursuit of happiness. It stands unalterably opposed to the socialistic contention that the "merchant might as well prepare to take his medicine. He belongs to a fast disappearing age; he Is not even in the race for survival. The only real strug gle Is between the different mail order houses to decide which shall do the devouring and the surviving." The logical outcome of this black doctrine means the utter extinction of American towns and cities. Finally we are opposed to any and all of the parcel post bills. Work Together. Many a town that has little to recommend it has been built up by the citizens working together for its advancement. No town will continue to attract capital and investors if the parties seeking locations are met with the testimony of the citizens "that the town is not what it was several years ago" and similar expressions. Not only should there be an organization of the most energetic business men for the purpose o$ attracting capital and : industries, but each citizen should feel that he is living in a progressive and ^ advancing town and should lend his efforts and encouragement to that end.
