Vouiiir Medical Student Shot by the Wife of His Friend. Conway, Feb. 5.?Shot four times and instantly klllod by Mrs. N. M. Hayes in her home at Tabor, N. C\, just across the Horry line, late yesterday evening, was yesterday the f.Uo of Hobt. M. Floyd, a native of this coun ty and a student at the South Caro lina Medical college at Charleston. Three shots took effect In the body and one in the centre of the forehead. Only n few minutes before '.'is death. Mr. Floyd had driven up to the Hayes home and had been Invited into spend the evening by the husband of the young woman. Floyd went in the house and while Mr. Hayes was un gearing the horse, he heard four pis tol shots. Ho rushed 111 the 'anus ? where he found his rrlend lying dead and his wife standing by. Says She Was Insulted. Her only answer to Mr. Hayes' ques tioning was that Floyd had insulted her and that she had killed him. There is no telephone connection between this place and Tabor but sev eral passengers on last night's train brought news of the killing around which a cloud of mystery appears to hang. The killing is the talk here today as all the parties are Wfell known in this county and prominent ly connected. Mr. Floyd arrived in Tabor yester day fror- Charleston, having come home to spend Saturday and Sunday with his parents near Gallivant's ferry Parties living in Conway were on the train with Mr. Floyd when he got off at Tabor. Ho Btatcd to them that he stopped there to look alter his farm during the day. that a horse and buggy would meet him either at Tabor or at Lorls, n nearby town, and that he was going to spend the night at Tabor and drive out to his home this morning. Probably no further cause other than the woman's statement will ever be known, rs Mrs. Hayes was alon 1 In the house when she did the shoot ing. From a brother of the dead man it was learned that Mr. Floyd had gone to the house, where he met his death, for the purpose of collecting for books which lie had sold during his \ acat Ion. There are conflicting rumors as to Mr. Hayes' meeting Mr. Floyd at the gate and asking him in. although it Is known that the two young men were close friends. Mr. Hayes runs a barber shop at Tabor and it is 1 stated that on Saturday evenings the rush of business at the place makes It necessary that Mr. Hayes remain at the shop very late. Here Good Reputation. News of the awful occuranee was a shock to the people of this county and especially In Conway where Mr. Floyd has lived an dworked for a number of years. He was colporter for the Wassainaw Baptist association which work carried him into the best homes of this county and of Marion county, where he traveled quite a good deal during the past several years. Three years ago he resigned this work to accept a position as head bookkeeper in the Hank of Conway, now the First National Hank of Con way. He spent several months in tliis capacity until the summer of 1909, when he resigned this position and made the race in this county for clerk of court. Ho made a splendid race but was defeated and later en tered the South Carolina Medical col lege at Charleston where he would have graduated in April. It was Mr. Floyd's intention to open a drug Store In Conway this Summer. While here during the Christmas holi days he practically completed the or ganization of a company for this pur pose. Young Floyd was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Math Flr.yd of near Gallivant's ferry in this county. He was abottl 30 years of age. of splendid educa tional qualifications, having taught in the schools of the county for quite a while, of pleasant address and pleas ing personality. He was modest and gentle and Just why he should be killed in this man. ner and within sjx or eight minutes after his arrival at the home of a friend can not be explained here. Mved Happily. Mrs. Hayes, the slayer, is a young woman. She Is a daughter of J. .1. E. Harrelson of Lois and a sister of 1>. ! I). Harrelson of Lois, formerly county : superintendent of education in this i county and later a member of the general assembly from this county. She and Mr. Hayes were married about three yeara ago, since which I time they have lived happily together ' at liOls, where, the husband conducted a store and ran a barber shop. Dur ing the fall they left Lois and moved to Tabor, a North Carolina town, about seven miles from I/orls. Mi*. , and Mrs. Hayes have one child, ? about a year old.?The State.

Report of the State Board of Health Shows that Although Many Prevent able Precautions are Taken that One Fourth of Deaths In South Carolina are Due to Preventable Diseases. While much opposition to vaccina tion yet exists, the annual report Of the State board of health sent to the general assembly shows that approx imately 85,000 persons wero vac cinated In South Carolina during the past year. "That typhoid fever Ik entirely too prevalent In South Carolina must be admitted," says the report in stating that it must also be admitted that tlu> control and prevention of the (Us jr.se are. among the most Important and dltllcult problems before tin- noard at the present time. It is pointed on that the disease is largely on * of the rural districts, vil:. ges and small towns. The report shows that there were Sfi cases of Infantile paralysis in the State during the year. As to pellagra, it is estimated that there were from 500 to 800 case in the State during the year. "When we stop to consider," says the report, "that about one fourth of the deaths in South Carolina each year are due to preventable diseases and that many lives might be saved by simple and Inexpensive measures, it is evident that oar ignorance of. and Indifference to, public health in costing us dearly." Infantile Paralysis. "Poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) has claimed." says the report. ";?. share of cur attention for the past year. Not until recently has the in fectious nature of this disease been clearly established, and as it was not included In the list of reportablc dis eases, the attention of the board was not called to it until the latter part of the Bummer. Blank reports were then prepared and sent out to all physicians of the State, with the re quest that they be niied out and re turned to us. As a result of this in quiry ,S."> cases were reported, the tabulation of which slrowed the fol lowing distribution by counties: Charleston IS, Orangeburg. 11. Alken in. Williamsburg, i>>.

York 1 "A study of the reports received revealed several Interesting facts in addition to the geographical distribu tion of the disease. "The seasonal distribution of the disease was shown as follows" Vny 4 cases, June 6, July 20, August 23. and September 10, making a total of 68 cases. Seventeen cases reported by Health Officer Green of Charleston did not give the date of onset, cases "As to the Infectlouan ?ss of the disease, it is striking that no two cases were reported from the same family. In the ?S families of which we have accurate data, there w,;r? 18? people over 18 years of age and 16'J under 18 years of age. The pos sibility of abortive cases was in mind when our blanks were sent out and Inquiry was made about other con temporaneous illnesses. Only four other illnesses were reported which could in any way be construed as abortive oasea. These wore four chll. dren between the ages of "? and 1. all from separate homes. In whom a diagnosis of malaria was made. It should .also be stated in this connec tion that no prophylactic measures, so far as we are aware, were insti tuted in any of these Cases. That the disease is communicable there can be no question, but how it Is commu nicated yet remains a mystery." Educational Campaign. "Since the reorganization of the board it has been the sense of all the members that no plan of action would yield better results than an aggres sive, campaign of education. Indeed, at the very first meeting after oath of olllce had been taken a resolution was unanimously adopted, and later presented by committee to the State board of education, urging that body to institute in the public schools, as a part of the regular school curriculum, a course dealing with the communicable diseases and other ele-j mentary studies In hygiene and sani tation. ?The State.

As a curiosity these figures may attract you for a minute, but the most curious thing about them is that three quarters of this money is regularly sent away from the South and the South is that much poorer for it. You tradv at a Southern shoe store. You give the dealer your money. You probably buy a western or northern made shoe. When the dealer pays his bill, this money, less a small per cent to. the dealer, goes north or west and the South is that much poorer. Keep your money at home. Let it work for better times, better wages, more factories, more work for Southern people. Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe. Made in the South, by white labor, for Southern gentlemen. The best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for $3.50 and $4.00. Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays in the South, and pays Southern labor, Southern grocers, bakers and butchers. It builds Southern factories, homes and schools. We can support more and better industries. Let's each do his part. CRADDOCK-TERRY CO. Lynchburg, Va. Special Values at W. G. Wilson & Co.
