MURDERS SPOUSE; KILLS SELF. John S. Bal>er Author of Ik)ul?le Tragedy. Spartanburg, Nov. 11.?John S. Baber, a 50-year-old white man, who lives in this city, shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Cora Lee Baber. here this afternoon, and then turned the gun on himself and took his own life. The killing occurred in an upstairs room of a boarding house, situated on Magnolia street near the Southern depot, about 1:30 o'clock. Baber and his wife had been separated since last January, but were apparently on friendly terms, and at least twice in the last few months she had * ^ in the come to town irum un ... country, where she lived after the separation, and spent the night with her husband. Early this afternoon she came to town and inquired of Mrs. L. G. P. Carout.h, the proprietor of the boarding house where Baber was staying, where she could find her husband, and received the answer that he was probably up town. She drove away in the buggy in which she came to town and later returned to the boarding house. Baber meantime had returned, and when his wife drove up he went to the buggy and helped her out. They went up stairs to his room, and in a ^vv minutes Mrs. Carouth heard the shots and called for help. J. W. Becknell ? ? - onon-op tn Mrs. Carouth's V4&U10 1U H>UU ff v* ?v call, and when he got to the room he found Baber lying on the floor with a pistol in his hand, dying, and Mrs. Baber lying on the floor already dead. Baber had been married to the woman he killed 17 years, and four children survive them. It is said that on account of the father's love for whiskey Mrs. Baber left him last January, but that no cause had been assigned for a quarrel, and they had \ seemed to be friendly since they \ parted. ; Four shots were fired into Mrs. Baber's body, one of which passed r through the heart. Only one shot < entered Baber's body, passing through his heart. - Mrs. Baber had been married twice previously, both her other husbands vainer Hpfld. She was about 49 years old. A coroner's inquest was held over the two bodies this afternoon and the verdict of the jury was that Mrs. Baber came to her death by pistol - wounds inflicted by her husband, and that Baber committed suicide, following the murder of his wife.

Willcox, chairman of the Republican national committee, plan to remain in New York for a week or more to await the result of the official count of the vote in California, it was announced today.

Later Mr. Willcox said: "We are in the same position as we have been since the election night.

Paris, Nov. 12.?A wireless dispatch from Madrid says that it was a German submarine which sank the American steamship Columbian. According to this information the Columbian encountered the submarine on November 6 during a violent tempest. The submarine compelled the Columbian to interrupt her voyage and lie under surveilliance until November S. When the storm subsided, tne aispaicii says, me ?uuniarine ordered the crew to abandon the ship and then sank her. A Havas dispatch from Madrid quotes the newspapers of Corunna, Spain, where the crew is reported to have landed, to the effect that when the Columbian was held up the submarine ordered the crew to disembark but that the storm was so severe that this was impossible until two days later. The dispatch says that the Norwegian steamships Balto and Fordalen were destroyed in the same manner on November 9. (A report of the sinking of these steamships was received from London last night.) The term "Yankee" is derived from a corrupt pronunciation of the word "English" by the Indians. MR. RHODES HAS BIG MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE OF BAMBERG. Mr. Rhodes, from Charlotte, N. C., arrived in Bamberg last night and expects to spend several days in our city. In talking Mr. Rhodes mentioned the fact that the object of his trip here was the promotion of health conditions, in and around this city. Mr. Rhodes has been much in Charlotte, Richmond and Augusta, and many other Southern cities, where recently, his company has been conducting an aggressive campaign of publicity and sale of their world renowned specialty, MRS. JOE PERSON'S REMEDY, which according to reports from various sections of the country where this great medicine has been introduced, it has done magic wonders towards the relief of suffering humanity and made one or the greatest sellers, in the short time, of anything yet discovered by any of the medical profession. According to the statements of thousands of people, both local and foreign who have tried this wonderful discovery it must be indeed a God-send to suffering humanity, as some of the people have been cured of such long standing cases of Rheumatism, Exzema, Indigestion, Chronic Malaria, Nervousness, etc. As this remedy treats only the blood and organs of the stomach and is merely a vegetable compound blended perfectly so as to render it a constitutional treatment. It has stood the tests of both government experts and the world renowned W. H. Morse, authority on Research of Chemistry, and is endorsed by both as being a great tonic, possessing therapeutic value of twelve great blood purifiers provided by nature. This is enough to convince most people of the fact that it should be a true medicine and not a vile beverage. The lucky Drug store who will have controlling sale on Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy will be Black's Drug Store. MASTER'S SALE. By virtue of a decree of the Court of Common Pleas for Bamberg county, S.
