A special to The Observer from Marion, N. C.,says: "Deputy Sheriff Cox has just reached here with 14 < Slavs, who are charged- with a shock- i v ing murder. Fifteen of these foreignf ers came to camp No. 5 on the South <& Western railroad a year ago and have been at work there ever since. According to the officer's story the m<?n miftrreled amoncr themselves Thursday, the brunt of the war of j ( words falling upon the member of the little colony who had been serving as its cook. The 14 Slavs fell upon the unfortunate cook that night and securing him with ropes they led him to a spot in the forest a mile from the camp. There they bound the cook hand and foot and placing him , , in an upright position agaihst the end of a fill, the crowd stepped off a few paces and began shooting, using the cook as a target. The unfortunate man was riddled with bullets. After V;-. satisfying their thirst for blood the murderers dug a shallow trench ' in the fill and and buried their victim, f The hastily provided grave and the > blood on the ground led to the discovery of the crime by a foreman. The dead man was known to have had $100 in cash, but no money was v found on him. Not one of the'prisoners speaks English and though court -is convened, the trial can not be held < until an interpreter is secured," The Woman Wanted. \ * ' * V When Senator James A. Hemen ? way, of Indiana, was campaigning in Southern Indiana, recently, he delivered an address before an audience or farmers in a country school house. In the course of his remarks, says an exchange, he reviewed the great agriculturalprosperity of the country, and as an illustration told a story of . a poor farmer who had died, leaving to his wife the farm heavily mortgaged. He said that the widow set to work with a will and succeeded upon one year's wheat crop in paying off the entire mortgage. When he had completed his speech, the Senator, as is customary ^n such occasions, shook hands and greeted the members of his audience. One middle-aged farmer finally approached him thoughtfully and began: "Senator, you tole a story 'bout the widow raising a mortgage on one year's crop?" "Yes, my friend, that was a true story. It happened only last year, during our prosperous times. "Senator, could you tell me who that widow is?" queried the farmer. "She's jist the kind of woman I've been lookin' for all the time."

Charged With Assault and Battery With Intent to Kill. Anderson, Feb. 13.?Charles R. Brown, a former employe in the weave room of the Brogon cotton mills, is in the county jail charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, it being alleged that he attacked Mr. W. N. Callas, section hand in the weave room, with a pistol and a pair of knucks. It is learned" from Brown and from witnessses that Brown was discharged from the employ of the mill Tuesday because he seemingly purposely broke some machinery. It was Mr. Callas who reported Brown's conduct to the superintendent. Yesterday morning as Mr. Callas was entering the mill to go to work at 6.10 o'clock Brown had some words with him, Brown claiming that he had come on the premises of the mill to tell his friends goodbye. Brown hit Callas over the head several times with a pair of knucks and then drew a pistol and fired at him. Callas' hand got caught in the knucks while attempting to defend himself and when Brown jerked them from his grasp Callas' finger was broken. The bullet fired hy Brown went wide of its mark. Callas has several painful wounds on his head. Brown was arrested by Officer Cobb as he was fleeing toward Greenville. Brown claims that his parents live near Greenville. He is a man of 22 years of age. High Finance. A lady who had a kindly remembrance for all her domestic servants met an erstwhile washerwoman and stopped to ask her how she fared.

Work's in a fair state o' stiddiness and not a cint do I owe, but it's lashins o' trouble I've got!" "Are you not paid promptly?" "As promptly as the day cooms round." "What is your financial distress, then?" | "Well, mem" (in aburst of horror), "what's killin' me is, I earn $6 the week an' pay $8 for me boord, an' God only knows how I do it!"?Short Stories. ? . Negroes Barred from Convention, j Tampa, Fla., Feb. 13. -Three negro delegates sent to the immigra-! tion convention by local colored organizations today were refused seats and asked to retire, delegations from Sou^th Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia objecting to their presence. Another feature of the proceedings was W. P. Nells, Socialist, of this county, who appeared in the convention and demanded a seat as an American citizen. On motion of Immigration Commissioner Watson of South Carolina, Nells was made a member of the convention, which Nells followed by vigorously opposing immigration of any sort. C. F. Zimmerman of Memphis declared the convention was wasting time, as the prohibition wave now sweeping the South would prevent desirable immigrants coming to this section and drive away many worthy foreign residents already here. The central trades union of Portsmouth, Va., presented resolutions opposing immigration, declaring foreigners brought disease germs and sent away good money. Secretary of State McCown of South Carolina introduced a resolution referring the question of immigration to the several States, each "State to work out its own solution. All resolutions were referred to committees Provocation Enough. A deaf old gentleman dined with a family where grace was always said.

A low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with embarrassment, raised his voice and repeated the verse. The deaf old gentleman did his best to hear, but failed. He placed his hand upon his host's arm. "What did you say?" he demanded, irascibly. \ The host cast him an angry glance. "D?n it, I'm saying grace," he snapped.?Harper's Weekly.
