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

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.
Tumulty Wires Congratulations.
- Asburv Park, Nov. 9.?Secretary
Tumulty wired formal notification
to the president of his reelection.
The message was wirelessed to the
^ president aboard the Mayflower. It
was as follows:
"I am here surrounded by the local
Democrats of old Monmouth, and beg
leave to send you our greeting and
congratulations. The cause you have
so nobly represented has at last triumphed,
and we greet you. Our
hearts, our thoughts and our affections
go to you."

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 9.?Headquarters
of the Anti-Saloon league at
Westerville report that they have information
that the dry forces had
wnn state-wide prohibition fights in
five States in Tuesday's election. The
States named were:
Michigan, Montana, South Dakota,
Utah and Nebraska?Michigan by
80,000.
With the addition of these States
Anti-Saloon league officials said 23

CONCEDE NOTHING.
Republicans Will Wait for Official
Tally.
New York, Nov. 12.?Charles E.
Hughes, W. J. Hughes and William
R. 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. Once the
official count is finished they expect
to take a vacation, Mr. Willcox said.
The national chairman called upon
Mr. Hughes at his hotel this after
noon. Later Mr. Willcox said:
"We are in the same position as
we have been since the election night.
We want an official count in California
to assure the reelection of Mr.
Wilson before we are willing to concede
defeat. Far be it from us to deprive
President Wilson of one single
vote that is properly cast for him."
Injustice.
Colonel South was under the pain-'
ful necessity of administering a sound
thrashing to his son, Samuel. After
he had completed his labors he said
sternly to his suffering victim:
"Now, tell me why I punished
you."
"That's it," sobbed Sammy. "You
nearly pound the life out of me, and
* now you don't even know why you
did it."?Pittsburg Post.

COLUMBIAN* SUNK.
More Details of American Vessel's
Destruction.
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.
