While the European war brings
hard times along by reason of the
! high cost of all we have to buy and
the low price received for all that we
have to sell, by the practice of self
denial and careful living for a time,
it will be possible to bring fortune
, out of misfortune in the couhe of a

therefore, lets all practice what
' we preach.

There are some men who can talk
5 very big and make you think for instance
that money will grow on trees.
Of course you know that it will not.
' The gas is about all there is such men
and this is what you find out in the
end. But you wonder why it is that
the man can talk to you so convincingly
and still turn out to be nothing
. but talk. The reason lies in the fact
. that such men have never done anv
thing else in their lives but practice
the talking stunt. Experience makes
them perfect like it does in other
i things. That is the reason and the
only one.

There is plenty for the farmer to do

WAR ON SICKNESS.
War has been declared on industrial
sickness by the American Association
for Labor Legislation. Following
the successful campaign for accident
compensation which now has
captured the principal states, a committee
of the nation's experts who
have been working quietly on plans
for a year and a half, declares that
sickness insurance must be establish'
ed with emphasis on medical care in
. order that it- shall lead to a campaign
of health conservation similar to thf
? "safety first" movement resulting
s from accident compensation. The
j committee includes such leading authorities
as Henry R. Seager, Mile?
M. Dawson, Edward T. Devine an<
e Dr. I. M. Rubinow ot New York, Cha?
' R. Henderson of Chicago University
IT
- nenry J. Harris of the Library ol
Congress, and Carroll W. Doten ol
Boston, and has the cooperation of ex.p
pert legislative draftsmen and leading
representatives of workmen an<
employers. The Association for La^
bor Legislation called the first American
conferences on Occupational Diseases
in 1910 and on Social Insuran3
ce in 1913, and announces it is now
j drafting bills for a vigorous legislative
campaign to iniate the movement
for sickness insurance in the Uniteu
States.

r &<*** ?w. . .#V > ** P
His Death Contrary to Hdp? of Re- I
covery at First,?Parties Atcnaed I
? Arrested After T]hey Made Bofid on I
First Charge. ' ?
Edward M. Tart, who w&b shot at I
Aynor in this County about 8 o'clock* I
on Saturday night, September 19th, B
contrary to the expectations held out I
at first by his physicians, died on Wed I
nesday of last week from the effects fl
of the wound in the head. Hub John- B
son, the Town Marshall of Aynor, and B
Pearson F. Speers, the latter it was B
said having been pressed in to assist g
the Marshall, were both placed in Jail B
on Sunday following the killing and H
on the same day made bail in the sum I
of $1,000.00 each, the charge against?'
them at that time being assault and |
battery with intent to kill. Later, on I"'
Tuesday of last week, when hope of?
Tart's living was given up, they werejp
re-arrested by D. C. Johnson, Deputy ?
Sheriff, and placed again in jail.
Sometime during the night of the day Ifj
on which Tart died, Coroner V. D.'| j
Johnson was notified to hold a nin-? :
quest and the Coroner went, withiB
Sheriff J. A. Lewis, to Aynor last g
Thursday morning where the inquest J:
was held, the Jury returning a ver-'g
diet that Edward rM. Tart came to hisjg
death from a pistol shot at the hands I ;
of Pearson F. Speers, Hub Johnson | j
being an accessory thereto. j-i<
On the night proceeding the holding |u
of the inquest, Coy McKenzie had g
been arrested and placed in jail, it is jl
supposed as an accessory, but when L
the Coroner's Jurv failed to irrmlirate
McKenzie in the killing, it is stated [i
I that he was released by the Sheriff.! IN
The inquest was held by the Coro- I'
ner in the open lot near the store of IJ
' J. T. Shelly, in the presence of a large |
i crowd of people who gathered to hear |*
the proceedings; most of those there ?i
seemed to be shocked by the terrible g
: occurrence. No expressions were R
heard by any of these people either I
j for or against the parties charged B
with the crime. There seemed to be R
some impression among the people H
I that Edward Tart had probably used
| profane language while on the streets ~
i that day and that there had been some of
previous ill feeling between Johnson in]
or Speers and the deceased, and it m;
was known that the only ground upon ab
which the Town Marshal had to put wi
Tart under arrest was a mere charge ws
of disorderly conduct. It also appears fir
that. Tart in company with his brother Ti
and his father had started for home ha
and were on their way out of town th
when they were halted by the Marshall
by the side of the road.
The story of the sad affair may be
found in the following report of the ac
witnesses sworn by the Coroner and
me substance ot what they said: ^
J. R. Crawford, sworn, said: pC
Heard the report of the pistol and ol,
wqnt: down there, went'from Powell's ^
store to place where it occurred. w.
Found Hub Johnson standing in the sj,
road, Ed Tart lying in the edge of the Uj
road, Coy McICenzie and Pearson yy
Speers were on the other side kicking
' in saw dust, hunting a pistol they
said. Hub Johnson said to me Ed (j.
! Tart was shot down, that Pearson jp
Speers was the man who did it. Pear- e(
son asked if I had any matches. I
handed him some matches and struck
one myself and looked at him. There
were no cuts on his shirt. No sign of ^
Pearson Speers' clothes. They were r
not torn. Pearson did not deny it ('(
when Hub Johnson said he did the ^
shooting. Saw Speers live minutes ^
later at diirerent place. He walked M
up to me and said: "Ain't I in a "
fix?" His shirt was cut, his necktie
cut in two and left suspender was cut
in two. None of these was done when ^
I saw him first at place where Tart
was shot. C(
,1 Preston Tart sworn said: *^(
I ?t
Am first cousin of Ed Tart. Shoot- '
Of
r ing occurred on September 19th, about "r
> 8 o'clock at Aynor. I was ten or fif- ^
. teen feet away and heard pistol fire. ^
; I was standing near Powell's store n<
1 with Coy McKenzie and another man.
? Lonnic Roberts came up and said (
that Hub Johnson said for Coy Mc- A
f Kenzie to go down there. Coy broke ^
f and ran in that direction. Me and the
. other man walked on down there.
. When in ten or fifteen feet of place I M
I saw flash of pistol. Hub Johnson had ei
. hold of Ed Tart's hand. Just before n<
. the pistol fired I heard Hub Johnson d<
. tell Pearson Speers to shoot him, then fc
. Speers shot and I saw flash of fire. J<
? Ed Tart was lying with head in the si
. edge of bushes. Coy McKenzie ahd a:
Pearson Speers were standing just-^h a<
[ the other side of Tart. Hub Johnson V
was standing on the side near the feet hi

down over Tart as I struck a
itch to see, did not see anything cut
out Speers' clothes. Jasper Tart
is leaning down to see if he
is dead, I think. Before shot was
ed I heard Hub Johnson call Ed
trt out of buggy, saying Ed would
,ve to give bond before he left town
at night.
Dr. W. E. King, sworn, said:
Came for me about 8:15, said Tart
as shot. They were bringing him
ross road into light. Saw he was
ot in head, ball went in just above
e corner of the right, eyebrow was
rwder burned, brains were coming,
it and blood. After getting into
>use found that left side of the head
as splintered or crused about the
ze of a silver dollar. Ball ranged
>ward, backward and to the left,
ound caused his death on Scptem:r
23rd. I and Dr. J. S. Dusenbury
ok ball out about noon on last Sunly.
(Ball produced by witness and de j
/ered to Coroner.) Skull was crush1
from the inside by the ball.

single-tree, we went few steps and
)hn Tart ran up behind us and said
op. Said Hub Johnson had shot his

Ir. Tart said give me a pistol, I had
one, said he would get a gun from
[r. Floyd. I told him he had no use
>r gun then, and Tart went on with
le and he came back down to the
lace.
C. K. Gerrald, sworn, said:
I started home with C. F. Powell.
Je passed those men, looked like sevral
men standing in road, did not
otice buggy. Did not see any disorer
or hear loud talk. Drove on and

I had seen Tart laid down, I went (
back to place of shooting, saw Speers c
and Coy McKenzie with lantern. I (

Pearson Speers shot him. Asked '
Spears what he shot him for, he said \

His tie was cut in two, pocket cut {
nearly in two. Saw no weapons (
around there. I saw the clothes after \
a time and not just after. It wac over 1

clothing of Speers. \

side of Ed Tart, Pearson Speers was 1
on other side next his head. Coy McKenzie
was standing off to one side. "
Pearson Speers asked J. R. Crawford (
for a match. Ed Tart was trying to J
crawl in bushes. Speers looked like
trying to hold him out of the bushes. '
Speers struck match and stooped (
down, Speers shirt at this time was '
not cut, if it had been I would have
seen it. It was fifteen minutes after
that I saw him up the street and saw
shirt cut. Piece of tie was cut and
he took piece of tie out of his pocket
or had it in his hand. Did not see
that he was cut anywhere except his
clothes. s
W. L. Roberts, sworn, said:
I was with Hub Johnson on the
street. This buggy was stopped be- '
yond the stalls when shooting was (
done. They were John Tart and two 1
sons, Ed and Jasper. Mr. Tart had ^
lost some meal, or said so. The two '
boys told him it was in the buggy. (
Mr. John Tart cursed an oath or two. 1
Hub Johnson told me to get Coy Mc- 1
Kenzie. I got him and he ran, as I
went up I heard Hub Johnson tell *
John Tart not to come on him, he had
