hope his niece, Miss Crueo McKin

bicoming a young lady. If so, her
graduation was an occasion well
worthy of the President’s attendance
if not, the fact that she is the Presi

From the little that wo learn ol
tiovernor McSweenoy’s ollicial acts
thus far, we think that lie is taking
up tin* r* ins with a firm and steady
hand, lie lias positively refused to
interfere in the ease of Mrs. (-arson,
in the peni tentiary for the murder
I of her husband, and his refusal will
^ he endorsed by all who are familiar
with the circumstances of her liurri-
crime. The murder of Carson by
her.-elf, (in en, and Page, in the upper
par: of Spartanburg county, was one
of the most cruel and cold blooded
crimes ever committed in this coun
try, and a life-lime in the poneten-
tiary will make hut poor atonement
for it.

We are tired of the sickly howl
set iin by some fossilized pencil push
ers against so many sponsors and
maids of honor being taken by the
I -. C. Veterans to their re-unions,
just, as if tlieir presence w as a hinder-
ance and drawback to the festivities
of the occasion. This is wrong.
\\ hut are these re-unions for but for
the old “vets” to have a general jubi-
!eje and at the same time teach the
young people that the cause for
which they fought was a living prin
ciple worthy of their respect and
veneration? And to whom are we to
transmit this precious legacy if not
to those who are some day to become
the mothers and angel guardians of
the Republic? Corporal Tanner said
in his speech at tin* Richmond re
union that “if it hadn’t been for the
women of the South we would have
whipped out, the men in one year.’’
Don’t try to deprive the young girls
of the little pleasure they have in at
tending these re-unions, as though it
was no place for them, ^or they were
unwelcome.

Today the abroad covers the silent
form which once contained the soul
of the generous, the gallant, the kind
hearted John (fotnlmun. Ritter tears
have been shed by an aged father
anti mother, and the hearts of sisters
and brothers are wrung with deep
agony.
Last night at 7 :f>0 the young man
shot himself through the head with
a 15 caliber Colt's revolver, the bullet
entering just above the right ear and
coming out near the top of the head,
lodging in the ceiling.
'rime will never reveal whether the
lie. d was accidental.
John was sitting at his ilc-slv in the
rear of the store closing up the day’s
business. Mr. Jno. Booth usually
assisted him in closing tip the sales,
putting the books in the safe, etc.
Hi; went to the olTico to assist John
in the final work. Seeing that the
young man was writing, ho asked
him if lie was writing ti letter, and
John replied that he was. Mr. Booth
reirmrki'il, “Well, I’ll sit here till
you linish,” sitting down on a high
oflice stool. Mr. Booth hits been sick
several days anil was suffering with
vertigo. He leaned his head over on
the desk, and thinks he must have
gone to sleep. In a few minutes he
was startled by a pistol shot, and
hastily turning around saw that Joint
had shot himself ’[trough the head.
Mr. Booth sprung to the dying
i man’s side, saying, “My Cod, John
! why have you ilone this?”
But thare was no reply. The
deadly missle had already done its
terrible work. The rich life blood
of John Coodtnan gushed from the
jugged, gaping hole in the head and
ran down in little rivulets on the
floor. Mr. Booth, aided by the
clerks and others who hud been at
tracted to toe store by the pistol
shot, laid the dying man down on the
floor.
Sam Coodman came in a few sec
onds later, and his wife, accompanied
by Miss Sailie Coodman, Will and
Frank Coodman, and other ridatives
soon arrived on the scene. The grii-f
of (hi' stricken ones was beyond de
scription and their agonizing cries
were most pitiful to hear. Sam was so
overcome at the sight of his brother
lying on the floor sweltering in his
own blood that lx* fuinttd anil had to
be carried from the scene.
A physician was sent for, but of
course he could do nothing, and after
a few gasping breaths John expired.
The body was prepared for burial
by Undertaker .Spear nnil then car
ried to the residence of Mr. Fam
Coodman, Jr., on West Krwin street.
Mr. Sam Coodman, Sr., and wife
and daughter, Miss Raimdia, hud
been sent for and arrived sometime
before the corpse was carried to tlm
house. The grief of the father-und
mother and sisters anil brothers and
other relatives as they viewed the re
mains brought ti.'urs tn the eyes of
all present.
John had been unfortunate in the
matter of aeeidents during the past
few years, having been dangerously
hurt several times, the most serious
one occurring about live months ago,
falling as lie did down a Might of stairs
over his place of business. A fearful
gusli was cut on his head in the fali.
At times after his recovery he had
been known to suffer from this injury
to the extent of causing his relatives
to feel anxiety for him. Through
carelessness in handling firearms he
hud hurt himself several times; and
coupled with other accidents of his,
it is the opinion of many friemls tiiut
the shot last night was accidental.
This opinion is further stregthened
in the fact that ho was successful in
business and surrounded by pli asant
kindred ties and worthy and social
companions.
The letter which John h-ft Sam
was in regard to his will, giving di
rections on tills point. It was dated
June (i and contained nothing of
speidal interest to the public.
A few minutes before the shooting
John was talking to clerks in the
store on some husim ss matters, and
it was noticed that parts of ids con
versation was somewhat discon
nected.
Mr. W. li. Robinson, of tiie Cotton
Belt, was also talking to John some
time before tho shooting. Mr. Rob
inson, however, did not notice any
thing strange in John's conduct, but
they '.nude all arrangements to go to
Gilmer today to attend to some busi
ness matters and were going to make
the trip together.
John Goodman was the second son
of Mr. and Mrs. Sam V. Goodman,
lie was born in Tyler in 1N70, and
wa* therefore twenty-nine years of
age. He received a common school
education in Tyler anil later went to
Poughkeepsie. N. Y., where he t mk
a course in Fust man's Business Col
lege, graduating with distinction.
Upon returning from school lie occu
pied a position with Gaston A Ratter-
son. Later lie kept hooks for A. ]’.
Moore, who then conductetl u retail
gmce.y business in this eity.
A few years ago the firm of Good
man Bros., begun business, with Sum
and John as purl tiers. The firm at
first ilid a small business, but by
push and energy they have built up
a large and successful grocery busi
ness in this city.
Upon John devolved J lie principal
part of the business management of
the firm, Sam applying himsidf more
particularly to liiu books The emi
nent success of this firm si limped
John as a business man of keen
ability and rare qualifications, and at
the time of ids death lie was recog
nized us one of thu leading young
commercial men in this part of
Texas.
John was a generous, big-hearted
fellow, lie hail plenty of friends—
friemls who were justly proud r>f (he
success lie hud achieved in life and
proud that they were ids friends.
John leaves a father and mother,
three brothers—Sum, Will and
Frank—and two sisters—Misses Ru-
inelia anil Sailie. He lias hundreds
of oilier relatives in different parts of
Texas, all of whom are saddened at
Ids untimely death.
We would not di re presume to
offer sympathy to those whose hearts
are torn and bleeding. There is a
Higher Rower to whom we would
point them, and who alone can give
consolation. Ho knows best, and we
should resign ourselves to the inevi
table, and say, “Thy will be ilone! ’
John was a prominent memeber of

BOER PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

I ii a Fort night.
London, June 1.) —The St. James Ga
zette, this afternoon, claiu s to have re
ceived from an absolutely red able source
at Pretoria, capital of the Trausva d,
tiie plan of campaign which will be fol
lowed by General Jouberr, now com
mander-in chief of the Beers, in the
event of war between the Transvaal
and Great Britain.
General Joubert’s force, it appears,
will consist of :i0,000 men armed with
Mauser rifles in addition to 4t» quick
firing guns and 1,000 artillerymen, most
of them drawn from the Gorman and
Dutch armies. With the>e troops aud
help expected from the Orange Free
Suite, Joubert expects to take the offen
sive immediately after tiie declaration
of war, enter the Orange Free State and
march on Kimoeriey, the British dia
mond mining center in West Griqua-
land, which forms four of the 70 divi
sions of Capo Colony.
Kimberley is also 100 miles north
west of Bloemfontein. In his march
on Kimberley, Joubert will use the rail
road as tar as available; expects to cap
ture the town with slight loss aud blow
up the De Beers diamond mine. Si
multaneously, it is added, the railroad
from Cape Town to Bulawayo will be
destroyed by Boer sympathizers and
agents in Capo Colony, who will also
destroy the Port Elizabeth Pretoria line,
south of Bloemfontciuf to prevent Brit
ish troops from using it.
Finally, immediately after Kimberley
is captured. General Joubert will ad
vance on Capo Town, the capital of
Cape Colony, through the western
provinces, where the Dutch predomi
nate and are expected to join tho Boers.
Joubert calculates tiiat he will be mas
ter of ('ape Town a fortnight after the
declaration of war and that he will
then bo aide to dictate ferms of neaca.

Tho year B. C. ‘PI, by order of Julius
Ctesar. tho then reigning Roman em
peror, contained 44o days. To clear
away all tho cnidusimi which hud pre
viously existed in reconciling the lunar
witli tho solar year, Ca:sar, with tho
help of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian as-
tn uimter, undertook a thorough reform
of too calendar. Ho offoctcd it by mak
ing tho year now called 4ti B. C., “tho
year of confusion, “ consist of 445 days,
and tho succeeding years of !5<55 days,
with the exception of every fourth year,
which was to consist of This
method is called the Julian calendar.
Tho number of days in tho mouths
from January to December before Cm-
sars time hud been respectively 2‘J, 2B,
81, SRJ. 31, 81, 29, 21), 81, 2‘J, 29.
These numbers Caesar changed to 31
and 30 alternately, with tho exception
of February, which was to have 2‘J in
ordinary years and 30 in leap years.
In honor of himself he changed to July
tho namo of the month that followed
Juno. Tiie Pontiffs in applying tho Ju
lian calendar went wrong by inserting
leap year every three years instead of
every four years, and this continued
till tho year now called 8 B. (J., when
tlm Emperor Augustus ordained there
i should bo no leap year for twelve years,
which made b ap year occur in 4 A. D.
At tiie same time Augustus gave his
own name to the month following July,
adding one day to it, which he took
away from February.
