GOV. MANNING KILLS DEER. State's Chief Executive Also Bags 38 Ducks. Georgetown, Dec. 28.?"The time of my life," is the way Governor Man- < ning characterized his stay of a few days as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. B. < M. Baruch at their delightful win- i ter home, Hobcaw, near Georgetown. ; Yesterday the governor and his party, ] Dr. Williams and .Mr. Benet, were < taken on deer drives. Accompanying 1 them as the guests of the popular i host were several Georgetown citizens i and friends from New York. The latter were Mr. Richard Leyden and Dr. A. J. Wittson, while the local friends ; were Col. Hugh L. Oliver, of the gov- < ernor's staff; Mr. W. H. Fraser, Dr. ] W. H. Moorer and Dr. Durant, State . fi?h onmmissioner. Four drives were '< made of the deer and twenty of the fleet-footed animals were jumped by i the dogs. Six were killed. Governor ?. Manning getting one, Dr. Williams ' one, Mr. Christie two, Dr. Moorer one and Mr. Fraser one. Last night the party spent at the i lodge in the marshes and this morn- ; ing started in to shoot ducks. The sport was royal and Governor Man- ; ning killed thirty-eight of the webfooted birds, while Dr. Williams bagged 114 and Mr. Christie fourteen. Dr. Williams says it was not a very j good day for shooting either, but the rest of the party declares he was "spoofing." Mr. Christie had never killed a deer before and he was initiated in true and ancient manner by haino' Htomilv covered with the blood WWiU& ??vv. ??V .of the animal he slew. SAY THEY LOST THEIR JOBS. - U 7 Governor Receives Letters from Men of First Regiment. 1 Columbia, Dec. 30.?Gov. Manning . has received several letters from members of the First regiment who lost their positions because of their absence for several ninths on the , Mexican border while in the service of the United States government. The men gave up their positions in ; response to the call of their country and several of them had lucrative employment. On their return home after being mustered out they found ' others in their places. The goverr nor is doing all he can to find these men employment and asks anyone in the State who could give employment to worthy and competent citizens to .Ammnninflto urith Vl i TYI in C!f>llimbia. Will III uuivwtp I14?U ??? .? ? , and he will furnish them the names and references to the men seeking employment. Governor Manning told the men of the first regiment that if they had any trouble in getting employment on their return to their homes or found others in their old positions to inform him and he is anxious to see everyone of these patriotic men placed in positions. They can be had for bank clerks, clerks in dry goods or other stores, farm employes, and in other capacities. No figures of the number who are deprived of means of livelihood through joining the National guard are available, but the governor wants anyone who is in a position to give these worthy men employment to write him immediately so he can furnish them with the names and references of the man or men who would fill the place. Robert Elliott Gonzales. * ' In giving the life of Robert Elliott Gonzales to his country, South Carolina has made a sacnnce most notable. The announcement which came today brings a personal sorrow to hundreds of South Crolinians, and it brings a sense of loss to thousands who did not know the shy and gentle youth. He knew the great privilege which he enjoyed and it was his endeavor to bring at least one smile a dav into the lives of the reading public which he took into his confidence, and for which he felt the affection of a big brother. The "column" which he conducted in the Columbia State was one of the most brilliant contributions to American journalism in the last half century. ?iis was a generous ana nowing humor, which seemed to be limitless, and never unkind. His was a pen of great versatility as well as of fecundity, for his contributions to the literature of the State will live in the future as among, the best and purest of lyric verse. But it is not easy to think of "Bob" as one apart, as a personage in literature as one who will be known in the years to come as a greatly gifted son. We of today know him as the gentle "Bob," and his loss to the circle which was permitted to know him is a deeply personal sorrow.?Columbia Record. Eve Up-to-Date.

Preacher and Keb Xettles Killed by 1*. W. Lightsey. Brunson, Dec. 29.?H. A. Preacher and Keb Kettles were killed by P. W. Lightsey, a substantial farmer, it the home of the latter about five miles from Brunson, this morning about 11 o'clock. The killing took place in Lightsey's house and yard, j and the weapon used was a double barrel shotgun loaded with buck shot. The men involved are prominent and all have families. Accounts obtainable indicate that Preacher, who was about 36 years of age, and who was a rural free delivery carrier, went to the Lightsey plantation with a view of moving Kettles, who was a tenant on Light sey's place. Nettles, it is saia, was indebted to Lightsey to the extent of several hundred dollars and for this reason Lightsey objected when Nettles started to move. Early tlys morning Lightsey telephoned Sheriff J. Herman Lightsey at Brunson and said that he felt his life was in danger and asked the sheriff to come to his protection. Sheriff Lightsey and a deputy, Eric Harrison, both of whom were present when the shooting occurred, went to the Lightsey farm, and tried to dissuade Preacher and Nettles from entering Lightsey's premises, but could do nothing with them. Witnesses say that about 11 p'clock Preacher and Nettles, each with a revolver in hand, entered Lightsey's yard, Preacher in front of Nettles. Lightsey was in his house and when Preacner waiKea upon mo puicu Lightsey shot him twice through a window. Lightsey then came out on the porch and it is said that Nettles wheeled toward him and Lightsey shot Nettles twice. Lightsey then surrendered to the sheriff and was taken to Hampton,- the county seat. H. A. Preacher, a life long resident of Brunson, and who is from one of the oldest and most respected families of this community, leaves a wife and four children. He had been a rural free delivery carrier from Brunson for about six years. Keb Nettles, who was about 43 years of age, came to Hampton county from Colleton county, and has been a tenant on the Lightsey place for about two years. He, too, leaves a wife and several children. Perry W. Lightsey, about 50 years of age, is a native of this coqnty. He has large family connections and is a man of influence. A SUGGESTION. Foreign Students Learn American Methods. I know of no better way to develop the good will between nations which must precede business transactions than the education in this country of young men and women from all the nations of the world, says Leslie's. It would pay our trade associations to establish scholarships with this object in view. The students coming to this country would represent wealth, leading industries and influential families, and they would return to their homes proficient in English and with a love for American ideals, institutions, methods, machinery and American products. Each pupil in his or her home city would act as a focus of infection for everything American and materially help to increase the demand for American goods. There are today in the United States approximately 10,000 foreign students. Of this number perhaps 2,500 are from the Latin-American countries, 1,500 from China, 1,500 from Japan, 500 from the Philippines, 500 from India, 200 from Asia Minor, and hundreds from Russia and the Near East. The majority are taking up engineering, chemistry, banking, commerce and business administration. They are becoming acquainted with our latest inventions and modern appliances. They are studying our trade methods. It is to be hoped that our business men will make the most of the great possibilities thus afforded for the introduction of our goods abroad.
