Xeill McCormack, Aged 8, Meets
Tragic Death at Sumter.
Sumter. Feb. 19.?Xeill McCormack,
tlte S-year-old son of C. E.
McCormack, a well-known jeweler of <
this city, met a tragic death this af
ternoon, when he fell in one of the <
clay holes at the brickyard and was
drowned. The body was found more 1
than two hours afterward by one of
the searchers.
The whole city was shocked to
hear of the drowning of the little
* boy, and in less than an hour more
than a hundred persons had joined
in the search for the body. It was in
a hole only a couple of hundred feet
. away that three little boys were
drowned about five years ago.
Gives All He Makes.
*
The Atlanta Journal says that H.
Z. Duke, who went West from Carroll
county, Ga., to grow up with
the country, has covenanted to devote
his twenty-one nickel stores to
God.
. He and his wife agreed with their
consciences three years ago to turn
v the earnings of his stores to the
' uses of Christianity when his savings
} should amount to $100,000. He then
< had $50,000.
Within a year he had $75,000;
within another year his savings were
little short of $100,000; last year the
sum he named was completed, and
on the fir^t day of this year he entered
upon his covenant. As he explained
Wednesday morning at the
home of his brother-in-law, A. P.
Morgan, at Oakland City, he will conduct
the twenty-one nickel stores
-during the remainder of his life purely
in the interest of God.
Every penny earned from the
candies, the toys, the thousand and
one things of a nickel store, will be
used in the Christian church. These
stores will support missionaries,
they will pay the salaries of minis/
ters, they will comfort the needy, i
they will furnish the lessons of Christian
it.v to the untaught. The nickel
stores scattered through Texas will
spread a Christian influence throughout
the States and to foreign lands.
Mr. Duke married in Carroll county
years ago, and set forth for the
West to find a young man's country.
. With $700 he entered business. His
one-room store was the size of a
close-in modern flat and his stock in
. trade would furnish one counter of
the smallest of his twenty-one nickel
stores.
But even then he gave a tenth of
* his earnings to Christian work.
Bit by bit the stores grew, and
finally other nickel stores of H. Z.
Duke's appeared in other Western
towns. They seemed to meet with
instant success. Wherever he established
a nickel store he prospered.
And as he prospered he increased
his gifts to the church.
"I believe," he said Wednesday
morning, "that these gifts were the
secret of my success. They taught
> ' me many things. They impressed
upon me the value of money; they
convinced me of the necessity of
method and system in all things;
they showed me how essential it is
V
to have more than petty interests.
"At last I decided that I had earned
enough, and I told my wife that
t whatever else I earned should be
given to the church and work of the
church. She agreed that when I
had $100,000 I should stop earning
money for myself or for any one
but God, and we made a covenant of
that sort. I am now keeping it.
"Last year I made something over
$24,000, and I think that by increas/?
ing the number of my stores I can
increase these earnings to $30,000
or $40,000 a year, all of which shall
be used as I have agreed.
"1 am a member of the First Bap- ,
tist church of Dallas. I am sixty
years old and I joined the church
at the age of thirty-five years. During
a large part of my life I have
devoted a part of my means to the
church.
s "When I first went West I met a
man, a lawyer, named R. L. Rudy,
who gave a tenth of his income to
church work. He gave with such
little effort and got such good from
his giving that my pastor, Mr. Mc^1
TY1 Tool f we
^/UUilCli, auu uij avii .. would
do the same thing. We
were not willing to let any one else
, get more out of religion than we
did. So we also began tithing, and
I found that this giving to God was
the greatest experience of my life.
No man, no matter what his condi
tion, what his responsibilities, should
give less than one-tenth to the
church. Only then can he know the
full benefits of religion,
r "As I made more money I gave
more. From a tenth, I increased
my gifts to a seventh, then to a fifth,
and now to all. During the first
year that I began systematically giving
to the church my offering
amounted to $110; second year,
$154; third, $360; fourth, $88; fifth,
$530; sixth, $662; seventh, $556;
v eighth, $250; ninth, $556; tenth,
$1,040; eleventh, $650; twelfth, $1,
PRISONER JUMPS FROM TRAIN.
Alleged Bigamist Escapes wliile Be- Sj
ing Taken to Columbia.
Greenwood. Feb.. 20.?While en
route to Columbia last night with one ne
C. Eugene Campbell, alias E. C. Tuck- an
er, alleged bigamist; Sheriff McCain, sv
of Richland county, suffered the loss ch
of his prisoner somewhere between R<
Greenwood and Pegram, a flag stop ch
about a mile south of Greenwood, w;
Campbell had been arrested in At- ob
lanta and was being carried to Co- dr
lumbia. He seemed willing enough a
to go, but after boarding the train hi
here last night to go to Columbia, ga
having come over the Seaboard here ha
from Atlanta, he managed to get out an
of the toilet through an open win- di
dow. Sheriff McCain telephoned the pi
Greenwood officers from Dyson last to
night, but it was too late to do any- co
thing in the way of getting on Camp- sa
bell's trail. So far he has made good ril
his escape. th
The warrant for Campbell was co
sworn out by Mr. D. N. Smalls-, of m
Columbia, who alleges that Campbell, A1
alias Tucker, had married his 1Syear-old
daughter, and that as a
matter of fact Campbell has a wife ^
and three grown sons.
Campbell ran away with Emma
Small last week, leaving his wife
and several children in Columbia. se
Emma Small is now in Columbia. cp
The story of Campbell's alleged be
courtship and marriage and his. cap- Uj
ture in Atlanta makes a romantic tr
chapter. Campbell, 40 years old, te
with a wife and three children, lived ne
in Columbia. Miss Emma Smalls, se
organist in one of the leading w;
churches of the capital city and a Wi
prominent figure in Columbia so- je
ciety, was won by him in a whirlwind
courtship, while he masquerad- br
ed as traffic manager of the Southern cj:
Railway with all the State of Ten- be
nessee as his domain. n
Living with his lawful family, he c0
laid siege to the heart of the pretty
young organist and was successful.
The wedding day was set. Saturday, aj.
however, he declared that business t0
called him away and urged the mar- wi
riage take place on that day. ta
Young Telegrapher Stabbed.
Florence, Feb. 23.?Mr. James R. sa
Shipman, a well-known young tele- ar
Ti
graph operator and farmer near
Effingham, was badly stabbed by
Isaac Fillyaw near his home on ^3
Saturday. Mr. Shipman was brought
to Florence and the wound treated
at the infirmary, and he is getting
along as well as could be hoped for. lie
It required 16'stitches to close the ar
wound. m
From what can be learned, it w!
seems that Fillyaw had been drink- m
ing and he attempted to get up a fuss of
with Shipman, who ordered him away ra
from his place. Later, it is stated, ar
Fillyaw approached Shipman from be- w
hind and stabbed him with his pock- st
et knife. , wj

State supreme court to-day directed ^
the attorney general of the State to
issue an order citing Jesse Littleton '
and W. B. Miller, prominent ChattaSL
nooga attorneys, to show cause why
they should not be adjudged guilty
of contempt. Littleton and Miller
represented C. J. Hebert, now in m
ra
Chattanooga jail, who is being held ^
pending requisition by South Carolina.
The supreme court in reviewing
the case held that the requisition
papers were properly drawn and v>
remanded Hebert to jail for 60 days
or
pending an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States for writ of
error. Hebert's attorneys instituted
habeas corpus proceedings in the fer
court of Judge A. B. Neal, of Davidson
county, an inferior court.

In a pamphlet published by him t0
at the request of the Baptist laymen
of Texas he gives his experi- *h
ence of "Fifteen Years of Tithing."
"I have tried the Lord in this busi- t0
ness way," he says, "and I would ^
no more quit tithing than I would tr
quit providing for my family. Tith- cc
ing has systematized our business as ar
nothing else ever did. It is worth m
all it has cost us, just for this one d*
thing; if for nothing else. Luke er
6:38 says: 'Give, and it shall be
given unto you; good measure pressed
down, and shaken together, and
running over, shall men give unto h<
your bosom. For with the same of
measure that you mete withal, it of
shall measured to you again.' " cc
He is interested in the laymen's in
conference that is to be held early
in February, preceding a campaign M

Dbert J. Gantt will investigate the
arges this week. As Bennett was
alking along a road near Campello
he asked Alexander, who was
iving a load of wood, to "give him'
lift." The negro offered to take
m on board for 5 cents. Bennett
,ve him the money, but after they
id travelled a mile or so told Alexider
he would be dishonest if he
d not give the nickel to his emoyer.
The negro made a pert rert,
and tliey came to blows. Acunts
of what followed vary. It is
id the negro struck Bennett a terble
blow with a stick of wood, and

nsciousness the wagon was a half
ile further down the road, ana
exander was nowhere in sight.

Libs at midnight last night, in which
>nds aggregating $9,000 were put

arrants issued against W. G. Goodtt,
Tom Harrison and G. L. Renir,
charging bribery, solicitation of
ibery and conspiracy, it being spe[ically
alleged that these men have
?en active in keeping the city's witisses
from attending recorder's
>urt. The men were released un;r
bond of $1,000.
The second sensation was brought
>out by the flushing by Sheriff R'ecr
of a cocking main in the suburbs,
here spectators and managers were
ken in custody.
When the county officer swooped
>wn upon the chicken fighters it is
i chere was a great main going on,
id bets were being made lavishly,

sing sports here from several nearr
towns.
Made Large Liquor Haul.
Orangeburg, Feb. 20.?Rural Pojemen
T. M. Hall, W. H. Ballard
id M. O. Browning of this county
ade probably one of the largest
hiskey raids on yesterday ever
ade in this county. The premises
B. Munston at Branchville were
ided and 107 gallons of whiskey
id 22 gallons of beer were seized,
'hen the raid on the contraband
uff was made, Munston, the owner,
as not to be found. When Munston
turned to Branchville, he was arsted
and placed under a $200 bond
secure his appearance at the May

.ids at Holly Hill, also in Orangelrg
county. The premises of Claude
utton, Macky Martin, and Sneed
3dfrey were raided. Not much
hiskey was found. These parties
ere placed under $300 bonds to
jpear at the criminal court in May.
? Carried Father's Liquor.
A few days ago two boys were seen
nerging from one of the dispensaes
with their pockets filled with botes
of liquor. As selling liquor to
inors is positively prohibited by
w the matter was promptly drawn
the attention of a member of the
spensary board, who seems anxious
i have the law strictly enforced,
ivestigation disclosed the fact that
e boys were not over 16 years old,
it that the liquor had not been sold
them, but to the father, *who had
tern help carry his booze to the
ain. A parent who will thus en urage
his children in the handling
id consumption of liquor it seems
ight properly be classed as an unisirable
citizen, and a worse fath .?Union
