Begged that she Assume
the Responsibility.
New York, Dec. 3.?-Roy D. Miller
a telephone superintendent in an
uptown hotel, at an carlv hour t himorning
aroused the occupants of
the apartment house where he lived
in east Forty-third street, by shouting
that some one had been shot.
Horace Hodden living in the adjoining
apartment, rushed out and followed
Yliller to the latter's dining
room, where a woman supposed to
be Millers wife, fully dressed, and
unconscious, was lying on the floor
Miller fell to his knees and begged
her to say she had shot herself, but
there was no response.
Hcdden hurried out for help. Returning
a few minutes later with a
policem \n and a doctor, he found the
woman dead and Yliller gone. An
all day search has failed to locate the
man. There were no signs of a
struggle.
The woman's clothing was scorched
by the flash of powder, but, the
police say, there was no trace of
powder on her lingers. The pistol
lay near the body on the floor, one
chamber empty.
A search on the woman's effects
leads the police to believe that her
real name was Miss Nellie Brod and
that she came here from British Columbia.
Several letters addressed to

Ilricc Act Cases Postponed.
(News & Courier)
Columbia, December 4.?Special:
Delay! delay!! delay!!! that is tlx
epitome of the fight on the Brice
Act. At the time the Pickens
County case came up it was under
stood that the Court would hear and
determine the validity of the Brier
Act in October. Then came the de
lay until November and December
To-dav when the returns in a series
of the cases were due there was
another delay. The cases have now
been set for January S, of next year,
and when that dav and hour arrives
u :s not at all unlikely that the
Court en bane will bo asKed to hear
the cause and thero will bo. unolhei
delay! delay!! delay!!! That is the
song and the tactics to all appearances.
The case will bo argued a
few days before the Cleneral Assembly
meets and then and then when
the Supreme Court has the ease to
doeide, members will cry: ' Wait
until the Supreme Court decides
wha. is la v. " and so it will go.

leading from the spring in roar of
the old Pcndergrass house and the
other across the opposite end of
the square, and tint the drains
across the street and side ditch

other matters that led the board to
in ves ti gate.
The secretary of toe board was
directed to notify the health oflicei

A number of the advanced and
more advanced school girls of the
town, and others of no less beauty
and importance, accompanied by an
equal number of [not beautiful] but
handsome and jolly young men assembled
at the modern homo of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Spivey, where they
waited until all arrived. Tht wagons
now being ready, the drivers
with whip in hand, in extreme
awkwardnoss, (for they were unaccustomed
to driving such teams)
drove to and down Main street to
third avenue, whero they set out
for a beautiful hillside on the vVaccamaw
road about two miles from
town at which point the writer, because
of the mutuality of each and
every one to join and assist in ihe
suggested games, was reminded of
by gone days where running base,
drop the handkerchief, go front and
face your lover, kiss and never tell,
where all played in unother grove,
where sat a log academy. While
thi} occasion of scrambling over
fruit, playing running base, and the
boys tussleing over cane was not
exactly like those spoken of above,
yet, at the same time, it did resem
ble them a little.
Soon the (piestion was sprung as
to who the prettiest young lady and
most handsome young mas was, aud
there was probably more excitement
and certainly more electioneering
over that, than over any subject,
tlie cane scuffle not excepted:
as this distinction was much desired
by each and every one. it was sug
gested that it be decided by vote
and when each and overy one had
wisely put his ballot, wo, for there
were about thirty, found that Miss
liurbageand Mr. Bpivoy had receivi
ed Mattering votes for which they,
with only an air of dignity, thanked
. the whole of the crowd.
At this junctureourleader informed
us that it was time to go to town,
k and wc all took our respective places
f in the one and two hor^o stays and
soon the faithful steeds shambled us
into town and all in high spirits
' returned to their several places of
' abode.
Wo present our many thanks to
i Miss Sweet for planning and worki
ing up this occasion.
The having of Mr. J. H. and Prof.
. S. A. Spivcy, two of Georgian
. popular young business rneu with us
added to the pleasure of the aftert
noon.
With best wishes to the Herald.
