after drinking heavily about four
weeks, Sam J. Norris of Augusta
shot and killed his wife and very
probably mortally wounded William
Dennis, about 17 years old, in a
front room of Norris' home in that
city Wednesday afternoon.
After Norris had killed his wife
and wounded Dennis, ho attempted
to and probably woul dhavo, shot
Mr. Felix Gunter, tho first person
who entered the room where Mrs.
Norris' body lay, had Gunter not
backed out of tho room. Dr. W. 1).
Jennings Jr., police department surgeon
and who is also Norris' family
physician, covered Norris with a rovovler
as the latter was in tho act of
raising his own weapon on Dr. Jennings,
and disarmed Norris.
William Dennis was hurried from
the sidewalk, where he fell, to the
City hospital, where an operation was
performed. Just before going to the
operating table, young Dennis made
Die following statement:
"T wns in Mr Nnrria' hnn?r> wlinro
Mtb. Norris was, preparatory to taking
her out for an automobile ride;
wo had already arranged for the ride.
Mr. Norris had given his consent for
his wife to go. All at once ho just
rushed in and, cursing, drew his pistol.
11 is hand went up and ho began
bring."
Previously ho had made the following
statement to Dr. Jennings,
who gave Dennis first attention, at
the scene of the shooting, and accompanied
him to the hospital:
"i was at the homo of Mr. and Mrs.
Norris, and was preparing to take an
auto rid? with Mrs. Norris, acting as
her chauffeur, all of which was
known to Norris and had his approval.
Just before wo were ready
to depart, Norris came in, whipped
out a revolver and opened fire on
Mrs. Norris and myself." Dennis
said he knows no reason why Norris
should seek to kill him.
According to the witnesses Mrs.
Norris was preparing to come downtown
to do flomo shopping and had
stepped across to talk to a neighbor.
After a few minutes of conversation
she saw her husband calling Dennis,
the chauffeur, into the house. Fearing
that Norris was not going to let
her go down in the automobile she
loft Mrs. Clark and ran into the
house. The front door closed and
the woman's scream was followed by
three shots.
The snots wore hoard all over tho
neighborhood and Mr. Felix C.unter,
who lives next door, rushed over to
the house and met young Dennis
coming, staggering, out. He then
opened tho front door and rushed
thrued through the hallway into the
front room, where he saw Norris
standing in the middle of the room,
holding his still smcking pistol. At
another glance he saw tho body of
Mrs. Norris lying with her face to
the floor.
Hooking up at Norris, ho said,
"Sam, you've played hell," whorelinnn
TsJnrria nnlflflv lnvolorl lilo nio.

tol on Ounter and replied, "Yes, and
I'm going to play hell again." Guntor,
peeing the man appeared to he in
a wild frenzy, ran out of tho house.
On the front porch ho was met by
Or. W. D. Jennings Jr. and Policemen
Reals and Davis who, hearing
the shots, were rushing into the
house. Dr. Jennings was the first to
enter and as he stepped into the hallway
he called "Sam" and getting no
reply he repeated the name. Norris
answered him and the doctor told
him who he was and Norris replied,
"Come on in doc, T won't hurt you."
The doctor found Norris sitting in a
chair. At first the physician did not
notice the pistol, which Norris had in
his right hand with his left hand
over it trying to conceal It. Dr. Jennings
and Policemen Reals and Davis
made one lunge for the crazed man,
the doctor grabbing the weapon from
his hands while tho officers pinned
him to the chair and placed him under
arrest.
Dr. Jennings then turned his attentions
to the woman who was lying
faced downward on the floor, lie
made an examination and pronounced
the woma dead. Dennis was dangerously
wounded. The police arrived
at, this time and he was placed in
it to he rushed to the hospital. Norris
was also placed in the patrol.
Norris yelled and whooped and
appeared very much amused at the
auto patrol tearing down Proad
street, and encouraged the chauffeur
to "burn the wind". The wounded
man was carried to the hospital
while Norris was taken to tho barracks
and later carried to jail.
In a free and easy manner, with a
mind apparently blank to his surroundings,
Ram Norris calmly crawled
between his blankets In his cell at

TO SAVE RADIUM
GOVERNMENT MAKING EFEORT
TO CONSERVE SUPPLY
SAY IT CURES CANCER
?
Tillman in the Senate and Jtyrnes in
tho House Have Places on Committees
Who Wyi Decide Whether the
Government Shall Reclaim Public
liasids Rearing Radium.
Positions on the mines and mining
committees ut the Senate and House
have become suddenly enviable in the
eyes of legislators who hitherto had
been inclined to avoid this assignment
as "a dead one" unless they
came from sections in whirh the mining
industry is important.
The cause of the sudden boom in
tho mine and mining assignments is
the tremendous public interest in the
use of radium in the treatment of
cancer, the most conspicuous case being
that of a member of Congress
itself, Representative Rremner of
New Jersey, whom Dr. Howard A.
Kelly, of Baltimore, is trying to rescue
by tho aid of the magis and
nricnlouu nr/\<l iin?
|/i luvivon yi\j\i UVl.
It is an interesting coincidence
that South Carolina, with her comparatively
small delegation, is represented
on each of the committees
which are to consider the great problem
of conserving tho raidiun-bearing
deposits of the United States in the
interest of humanity. Senator Tillman
is on tho mines and mining committee
of the Senate, and Representatives
Ryrnes is on tho corresponding
committee of the House.
Roth of them attended the lecture
given a few days ago by Dr. Kelly in
the interest of the movement to save
out radium from selfish exploitation I
at the cost of human life and health,
and both expressed themselves enthusiastically
about the famous surgeon's
explanation and demonstration
of the problems and of tho wonders
of tho mysterious substance
which is now much rarer than the
diamond or the ruby.
Roth Senator Tillman and Congressman
Ryrnes, it is needless to
say, will lend their utmost endeavor
. in aid of the movement to legislate
1 for the protection of tho unfortunate
peoplo who are in need of tho radium
treatment. There is little doubt that
a law will be put on the books at the
f present session of Congress to effect,
this result.
Another coincidence is that the
chairman of the mines and mining
1 committee is himself a physician, Dr.
M. D. Foster, of Illinois. Dr. Foster
is a veteran member and one of the
' most popular and sensible men in
' Congress. In a statement about the
radium question, he said:
"In view of the tremendous humanitarian
problem Involved I can
r not believe that the good people of
' Colorado will oppose a plan which
seeks to stop the terrible ravages of
a disease that is levying a toll of
. Tu.OOO human beings every year in
the United States. 1 find it imposj
sible to believe that any considerable
number of the citizens of Colorado
1 can be back of any such movement
x unless they have been woefully mis3
led by a few.
I "The deaths from cancer each
! week, in the United States represent
I a tragedy as great as the sinking of
the Titanic?fifty such tragedies in a
year's time. We could not save the
victims of the Titanic, but Colorado
has, within her boundaries, on the
public domain, a mysterious magic
s powder that gives every evidence of
its ability to stop this continuous
and ever increasing death roll from
R can-cer.
1 "Some of those who are opposing
r the withdrawal of the land declare
* that suffering humanity will not be
~ deprived of this great boon if private
* parties exploit these ores. Well, we
can only judge from what has hap*
penod.
^ "It. was less than a year ago that
the bureau of mines made the discovery
that tons and tons of this pre*
eious ore had been shipped from Ool'*
orado to Europe and that no radium
had ever been made in the United
States. Tn the year 1912, suflieient
of this earnotite ore to make nine
grams of radium, the cream of the
deposits, was shipped to Europe,
n while the total radium in this country
at the present time is less than
two grams,
"Wo shipped this wonderful carr
notite at iron-ore prices and then our
s surgeons bought the radium hack at
1 diamond prices. We are now making
I radium in the United States, hu I

of a contract with an American firm

?
Garrison and Militia Heads Agree on
Terms for Pay,
Secretary Garrison and adjutants
general representing National Guard
I organizations of more than 30 states
Wednesday agreed on terms of the
proposed militia pay bill, under
which the federal government would
provide pay for militiamen, who in
turn would enlist as "federal reservists"
subject to the call of the president
to duty either within tho United
States or abroad.
It is proposed that tho militia bill
shall provide on annual appropriation
of $1 4,600,000. Of this $4,000.000
would be for encampment and
manoeuvre nurnoses. S8.000.000 for
home service pay and $2,500,000 for
armament and equipment. Secretary
Garrison will lay a draft of the measure
before President Wilson with an
explanation of just what the federal
government may expect in return for
the money appropriated. If the president
gives his indorsement the hill
will go before congress as an administration
measure.

Kcinnnnts of Huerta's Northern
Army?Food is Scarce.
Footsore, ragged, almost famished
from their three days' march on foot
of 67 miles over a wind-swept mountain
road, the 3,300 Mexican federal
soldiers and generals routed from
Ojinaga, Mexico, by the rebels, with
1,067 women and about 300 children
and infants, Sunday arrived '
within a few miles of Maria, whence
they are to be transported by train
to Fort lUisa at F1 1'aso.
The ragged remnant of the Iluerta
army will be formally interned at
Fort Hliss, as wards of tho government.
They will be held there indefinitely
on footing of prisoners of war.
None of those in tho unlquo caravan
was moro visibly affected on coming
within sight of Marfa than Gen.
Salvador Mercado, Huorta's former
military chief, who ordered the evacuation
of Ojinaga in face of the
rebels' fire.
Beside (Jon. Mercado wore Federal ,
(Jens. Castro, Aduna, Cauda, Orpinal
and Romero, all shorn of thoir
swords, but some still retaining on
theirs uniforms the hits of gold braid
which had not been torn off or worn
away in tlight. The picturesque
march afoot through American territory
of so many foreign soldiers and
women with their baggage abounded
with incidents.
The birth of a child, the death of
several wounded soldiers, the search
for water in the desert, the constant
straggling away from the line of
march and the rounding up again of
scores of the refugees were some of
t lie difficulties with which the United
States cavalrymen had to contend.
The Mexicans outnumbered the escorting
American soldiers ten to one.
Viewed from a hilltop, the oncoming
army was the picture of exhaustion.
Since they were routed from Ojinaga,
the Mexican soldiers have had
only scant food supplies. Their
march to Marfa was made possible by
the establishment of the three camps
provided en route. But these camps
were supplied with limited rations,
because all foodstuffs and water had
to be carried by wagon. Many of
the foreigners were poorly clad and
without blankets, and their suffering
at night was intense.
Of all the marchers the Mexican
women are the best. There were instances
of women who yielded their
places on horseback or burros to
mon. The marching column was
stretched over a great distance to
prevent confusion and to reduce as
much as possible suffering from the
dust. All semblance of the uniform
ranks of an army was gone. It was
a curious mingling of people and animals,
while in places tho women,
with their red dresses and shawls,
cave a touch of brilliant color to the
scene.
A little group of women by the
roadside attested the birth of a child.
The old women who attended announced
that, a little girl had joined
the procession, and the news traveled
down the entire line, arousing a lire
of conversation. The procession passed
a rcude cross stuck in the middle
of a little pile of stones. It marked
i the spot where a man had been killed.
Many crossed themselves at sight
i of tho emblem.
A burro dropped from his back a
bundle of little iron wood sticks, the
, principal firewood of the district, and
the Mexican woman, as a thrifty
housewife, refused to move on until
it was again stripped tightly to the
. pack saddle.
Rations for the Mexican soldiers
and refugees, who will be interned
at b'ort IMiss, Texas, were ordere by
- Rrlg. Cien. Rliss. Soldiers, genorals
' and other ofllcors of tlio defeated
' Huerta army are to bo sheltered in
' 1,200 tents spread out on the reservation
of Fort Bliss. The monthly
food supplies required for the refugees
will he 22,000 pounds of beef,
20,000 pounds of beans, 125,000
loaves of bread and 5,000 pounds of
coffee.
The refugee camp will bo Inclosed

Figures announced by W. J. Harris,

tlio boll weevil has caused a Iohh in
the production of cotton in the United
States In excess of 10,000,00^
hales, valued at least at $500,000,*000.
Tho reduction in the production
of cotton due to the fact that
tho farmers refrained from planting
because of the fear that tho weevil
would not permit the plant to mature,
he said, never can bo estimated.
In seven selected counties in Mississippi
tho production of cotton in
1907 amounted to 191,790 bales,
valued at nearly $11,000,000. The
boll weevil, Mr. Harris said, reduced
this production to 30,809 hales in
1912.
Louisiana's largest cotton crop,
1,089,526 hales, was grown in 1901.
The production was reduced to 245,684

a young Polish woman, one of

with tho crime. Sho said
that two of tho men now In prison
killed Martyzwicz with a drink of

Tho murderers, she said, lured
their victim to a houso whero sho
