Declaring that she had been Insulted,
Mrs. J. P. .McCrea shot and
instantly killed Allen Garland In the
McCrea home at Opelousas, La., 011
Thursday morning. Both are prominently

' Mrs. McCrea used a revolver and
sent three bullets through Garland's
back, any one of which it is thought
I would hyave produced death. She is
the wife of a division superintendent
of the 'Frsco Ralroad. Garland's
family is one of the most influential
j iu that section of the State.
Although Mrs. McCrea alleges that
she shot Garland to protect her honor,
it is stated that the young man
was seated in a chair in her room
and that all three bullets entered his
P body from the rear. They were alone
^ at the time, there being no eye-witnesses
to testify at the coroner's inquest.
Mrs. McCre has been placed in
jail. Her husband is with her. According
to the sheriff, a charge of
murder will be entered against her.
Mrs. McCrea will have nothing to say
further than that she killed Garland
to protect herself.
Young Garland was a student and
m a graduate of Tulane University, New
Ik Orleans. It is said that he was a
slave to his books and cared for
little else. Mrs. awurea wn? noiqtiently
left alone in her home because
of business calling her husband
away. On these occasions Garland
was called upon to stay in the
McCrea residence, as a protector to
Mrs. McCrea and the children.
Thursday about ten o'clock Mrs.
McCrea telephoned to the Garland
home and asked to borrow a spool
I of thread. It was sent to her by
young Garland. Garland lived with
his grandmother, a widow of the late
Henry L. Garland.
WILL HELP SOME.
Organization Formed in Macon, Ga.,
to Market Cotton Crop.
The organization of a $4,000,000
concern known as the Southern Cotton
corporation with an eye to controlling
the marketing of the cotton
of the South was announced at Macon,
Ga., Wednesday, by George Dole
iWadley of Bolinbrooke, one of the
wealthiest men in Georgia and representing
financial interests of great
extent. Associated with Mr. Wadley,
? - - T-u- m
who will be president, are jouu ik.
Wadley of Wlaycross and John T.
Moore, Leon S. Dure, Jesse H. Hall,
John Mockey and W. E. Dun woody
of Macon.
The concern will work in connection
a string of banks operated by
the National Hank Audit Company,
of which William Barret Ridgely,
former comptroller of the currency,
is president. The Southern Cotton
corporation will advance farmers
money up to 75 per cent, of the normal
price on cotton deposited in
warehouses. This cotton will be
held, and when the time arrives each
year when a correct estimate of the
crop can be made, a price will be fixed
and the cotton held until such
price is paid.
Organization work, it was stated
by Mr. Wadley, has started in 1,000
counties throughout the cotton belt.
In each county will be an advisory
hoard, all stockholders in the corporation,
composed of five business men
and bankers and 2 0 farmers This
county board will watch the crop
and report to the main oillces which
will be in Macon. iMr. Wadley announces
that Eastern capital has already
been secured to insure sucfcess.
Propaganda will start at once.

SENATOR TILLMAN CERTAIN TO
ASK RE-ELECTION. |
He Is More Interested in His Farm
Operations Than Politics Just Now
Though.

Tillman spent Wednesday In Columbia
011 personal business, passing
most of the ime with his friend, Dr.
Babcock. He returned to his home
at Trenton on the afternoon train
and carired with him two real pitchforks.
The Senator bought the pitchforks
uptown and had them sent down to
the union station for him at train
time. They were wrapped up in paper
until they were unrecognizable,
and when he told Dr. Babcock what
they were the doctor insisted they
ought to be unwrapped and carried
openly by the senator, so the paper
was taken off and Pitchfork Ben
toted the two pitchforks home on
the train without any concealment.
Two of the Senator's friends, Congressman
Lever and Mr R. I. Manning,
happened to be present and assisted
in the opening up of the characteristic
package. It was seen that
he tines were tipped with gold and
'he senator was twitted about hoistng
the gold standard, against which
he used to proclaim eloquently in the
lays of "3 6 to 1 or bust."
But the Senator is very much more
interested in pitchforks agricultural
than pitchforks political. The news
that there will be at least one candidate
to oppose him for reelection,
Col. W. J. Talbert, does not seem to
have disturbed him at all. Senator
Tillman expects to stand for re-election
to make at least a few speeches,
if his health is no worse than It is
now, and if he is better he may
make a good many speeches.
The Senator enjoys meeting the.
people and only the strict orders of
his physician and of Mrs. Tillman,
who has always been his chief adviser,
have prevented him from going
around more this summer. It is his
determination to offer for a fourth
term in the senate. That may be
set down as certain.
If Senator Tillman is relected or
renominated in the 1912 primary, he
will on the 4th of March, 1913, begin
his fourth term as' senator from
South Carolina. Having served aB
governor from 1891 to 1895, he was
first elected to the senate in 189 4
to succeed (Jen. m. u. ?uuer ana iouh
his seat on the 4th of March, 1895.
He was reelected In 1900 and again
In 1906, both times without opposition.
Col. W. Jasper Talbert, formerly
congressman, has announced he will
be a candidate for senator next year,
no matter who else runs. Governor
Blease has announced that he will b?
a candidate for senator If Senator
Tillman is not in the race; otherwise
he will seek reelection as governor.

A V?RY STRANGE CASE
A Man Turns lrp in a Uttle Michigan
Town Claiming to bo Ceo. A. Kimmel.
Who Is Supposed to Have
IMed Sometime Ago and Causes
Much Discussion.
A dispatch from Niles, ;Mich., says
n A lf??nd \Z I m m n 1 hnl to vnH
VJCVl rvui vu AVIUiUIVlf VV?iV ? V\A ^ J
relatives to have been dead for thirteen
years, arrived at his old home
there from the penitentiary at Auburn,
N. P., late Tuesday and was
identified by former friends and associates.
Despite Kimmel's identification,
however, his mother, Mrs. Stella
Kimmel, refused to see him. The
mother continued to denouce Klmmel
as an imposter who was attempting
to deprive her of $25,000 insurance
which she had on her son's life.
While dozens of persons positively
identified him as the son for whose
supposed death thirteen years ago
Mrs. Estella Kimmel received $5,000
in life insurance, an equal number,
was as positive that it was not the
same.
Then Mrs. Kimmel, 70 years old,
who had asserted that the man was
impersonating her son merely to deprive
her of the money she had already
received and to prevent the
payment of $25,000 more in insurance
to other relatives, scrutinized
the man who claims her as mother.
Hirougth face to face with the woman,
"Kimmel," just released from a
five-year term in the Auburn (N. Y.)
penitentiary, streched forth his arms
I A .
an u oaiu.
"Mother! Don't you know me your
boy? Don't disown me any longer.
You know I am your son."
Mrs. Kimmel, withdrawing from
the man as he attempted to embrace
her, stood sternly scanning his face.
"No," she said, "I don't see in you
any positive resemblance to my son."
The meeting took place at the
home of Mrs. H. L. Fox, who had already
accepted "Kimmel" as cousin
and positively identiled him as the
son of Mrs. Kimmel. It was made
known Mrs. Kimmel has no direct interest
in any money which the insurance
campanies refuse to pay on the
ground that the son is still living, but
that a $10,000 policy is held by a
daughter. Mrs. Edna Kimmel Bonslett,
and another $5,000 policy is held
by a distant relative.
"I would have no selfish motive !a
denying the identity of my son if he
were alive," said Mrs. Kimmel. "For
years I have felt sure he was dead,
and I can not believe that this man
is he. It seems ihat some motherly
instict ou$ht to tell me the truth,
yet when I look at him I do not recognize
him. He only puzzles me. It
has almost prostrated me to look
upon this strange man and have people
insist that he is my son."
"Kimmel," on looking at the wo
1 i I _1 l. I -
I man, saia ne was positive sue was uis
mother.
"I wanted to take her in my arms,"
he said," for she looked the same as
years ago. I love her with all my
heart and can't understand why she
should insist I am dead. Still, I will
not worry her, and if she continues to
disbelieve me I shall do as she wishes
I know I am Kimmel, for I recognide
overy one."
To test his acquaintance with Niles
"Kimmel" was escorted about the
streets. He repeatedly pointed out
landmarks and related instances
which citizens said were correct. He
called persons by their fu?l names,
but many of them professed not to recognize
him as the real Kimmel.
"Now to prove 1 am familiar with
the town," said Kimmel, "I will tell
you that behind that hill there is a
big red brick house, on Hie south side
cf which is a large elin tree, from
which we used to swing when boys."
Every one declared the statement
was correct.
There was evidence after Kimmel
left suggesting that he had died and
the insurance money was asked for.
The life Insurance company is said
to have expended hundreds of dollart
in running down a theory that Kimmel
did not die. He was traced tc
Arkansas City, Kan., where, so far at
his family knew, lie was last seen
Then a man answering the descrip
1 tion of Kimmel was found in a dazed
1 condition in St. Louis. He recover
ed in a hospital and later left for Nev
York, where, under the name of An
drew J. White, he was arrested on f
larceny charge. After more warn
' ings he was found in an asylum ir
1 New York and afterward traced t<
' Auburn penitentiary.
Several years after Kimmel's dis
' appearance his mother instituted suli
in the St. Louis courts to secure insurance
which she held on his life
A Jury returned a verdict in her fav
1 or and declared Kimmel to legallj
dead. Upon this verdict one com1
pany paid Mrs. Kimmel on a $5,00(
i policy. Another company which car
. led a $20,000 policy, however, fought
the claim and carried the matter t<
higher courts. ;
STRUCK BY CRUlSiR
THE LAHGE STEAM EH OLYMPIC
HAD A CLOSE CALL.
? .
Despite Effects of Warship's Specially
Designed Ham, Great Ocean Liner
Survives the Shock.
The great steamship Olympic of
the White Star line which left Southhampton,
England, about 12 o'clock
Wednesday with a large crowd of returning
tourists, lies off Calshot castle
at the entrance to Southhampton
u'otora with n caning hnla in her side
as the result of a collision with the
British protector cruiser Hawke.
No lives were lost, and of the 2,000
or more passengers and crews of
the vessels, not one was even injured.
There also was 110 panic. The
accident took place a few miles from
where the American - liner St. Paul
and the British cruiser Gladiator collided
nearly four years ago.
The Olympic left her dock at 11.25
o'clock Wednesday morning, steaming
at a moderate rate eastward on
her way to Cherbourg to pick up the
continental passengers. She already
had on board nearly 1,700 persons,
excluding the crew. The first cabin
passengers were just answering the
call to lunch when attention was attracted
to the Hawke which was undergoing
steam trials.
The warship, moving at great
speed, followed the liner, but apparently
was quite clear of her but suddenly
she swerved and before the
passengers could realize what was
happening, struck the liner on the
starboard quarter near the stern,
tearing through a section about 40
feet in extent.
The miracle is that the Olmypic
was not sunk, as the Hawke is fitted
with a ram esneciallv designed to
sink a vessel In spite of its watertight
compartments. The liner's
frame stood the shock well, and the
watertight doors, which automatically
closed, held the compartments hermetically
sealed. The Olympic listed
slightly to starboard but not to a sufficient
angle to cause any serious
alarm.
So far as can be learned the Hawke
suffered no more severely. Curiously
enough 12 feet of her upper deck was
twisted out of all recognition. The
stem appears to be completely gone.
The engines of both ships were stopped
immediately, and as soon as the (
watertight doors were secured the engines
were set astern and the vessels
drew apart. The Hawke sent wireless
messages for tugs and remained
alongside until they arrived to convey
her to Southhampton, where she
dropped anchor.
Many theories are advanced as to
the cause of the collision, but generally
the warship is blamed. It is
suggested that the cruiser's steering
gear failed to act. The naval officers
and the officers of the Olympic are
withholding comment until the inquiry
which the admiralty will institute
immediately. The cruiser proceeded
to Portmouth under her own
steam.
TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN
Work of a Fiend to Destroy Many Innocent

A dispatch from Chester says dastardly
attempt to wreck the northbound
passenger train on the Carolina

morning. The trestle is 50 feet long
and 50 feet high, and about the middle
of the trestle the spikes bad been

Injured was Trainer Martin, who was

The escaping animals were a leopard,

Their escape was first noticed when
