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

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

TWO MEX SHOT TO DEATH.
H. A. 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.

where you were reared? Are you
giving any money to help make them
better? Have you remembered them
in your will?
The wealth of the town comes
largely from the country, and some
of it ought to go back to support the
social institutions of the country. Of
the amount that you can, give for
church, charity, and public purposes,
wouldn't it really be a good idea to
set aside 10 to 25 per cent for helping
country communities? Or a better
plan may be to offer the country
community so much if they will
raise so much?either to get a modern
school building, with a community
hall or an extra teacher, or a
good school library, or a school farm,
