HOMICIDE IN GEORGETOWN.
W H Cox Dead at tbe Hands ot W C
James.
7?^ Georgetown, July IT.?Special:
Saturday night about '1 o'clock
while at the house of a woman in
the suburbs of what is known as
"New Georgetown," W G James lie-1
came in vol veil in a difficulty with W
H Cox. both white, in which James1
k, struck Cox a blow on the lie id, from
which he died alxiut 11 o'clock Sun
day.
The coroner was promptly notified.
He empaneled a jury and began an
investigation at 3 o'clock. I>rs Olin
Sawyer and \V M Gilliam were
called in and held 011 autopsy.
Alter a number of witnesses were
examined th" jury rendered tne
following:
"That W H Cox came to his death
b\ a blow on the side of his head
with some kind of a blunt instrument
at the hands of W '' .lames."
James was committed to jail by
the coroner.
Mr Cox w ts an employee of the
Atlentic Coast Lumber Corporation
1 and was considered by all who knew
him to be a gootl, quiet, peucable
citizen.
James is from Florida, where, it
L is said, he hos relations. The svm'<
pathy today is with the dead man
and his family. Cox's remains will
be taken to Lake City, his old home
for burial. He leaves a wife and
several children.
b% . From the testimony at the inquest
it appears that the nieu were drinking.
The testimony is somewhat
conflicting. Cox, it seems, had a
pistol and James claimed that Cox
was about to shoot him. On the
other hand witnesses now say that
James struck Cox with a stick when
the latter was not attacking him. j
Cox went home about 2 or 3
V o'clock and was not known to be
seriously hurt. He became unconscious
about 6 o'clock in the morn- i
ing and soon died. Ilis skull had j
been fractured, so the autopsy de- i
dared.?News & Courier.
DISPENSARY DISCUSSED.
S. R. Gordon Relieves In the Present
System.
Editor Cotnty Record:
t, Having seen my name as one
of a committee that was appointed
to work up a petition
for the purpose of voting out
the dispensary, I wish to say;
- that I don't favor this move*
ment.
We had prohibition in this
countj'before we had this dis-1
pensarv, and it did not do any
ornnrl Whislrev was sold in
Kingstree almost in the shadow
of the court house. In this part
r of the county, people that qould
not get it shipped to them, constructed
tin lard caqs with
_ A worms attached and made whiskey,
or something that could be,
substituted for it that would
make them worse drunk than
f
whiskey.
There is no way to prevent
7 the people from making whiskey
here in a smuggled way. So
what good would it do to vote
out the dispensary; what does
it all mean? It is just this, the
old barroom faction is just tryin?r
tr? u-et the disuensarv killed.
?? " O
knowing" that some people will
have liquor and soon they can
be selling it in the old way.
To show howjrotten this thing
is, the so-called prohibitionists
ran their candidates in the primary
election and were badly
defeated. Their most substantial
support came from men that
love whiskey, or sore-headed
politicians that wanted something
new to help them into office,
or someone that could not
even get a start off unless they'
got it in some unusual way. i
The same people that is push-i
mg this voting out of the dispensary
over the state now, is
the same old barroom faction in
disguise. This is the way they,
manage it, they see that their
force is too small to make a
straight out fight under their
*ttvn colors, but thev see there
itre a few that are so short-1
sighted as to believe that there 1
:s such a tiling as prohibition!
*nd that they can stop men from
drinking whiskey. There are I
others wh* want somethingstarted,
so they can be tije tirst
Jto jump on the|band-wagon as;?
ride into office* they all consol- (
i^ate and call themselves "Pra-1
hibitionists."
The free schools are getting.-a
substantial support from the
aiispeiLsarv, and there are jae;i'
Is.,.
1 * '
who will not spend one cent on
schooling their children, but do
spend all they make on whiskey
and this is the only, way their
children can jLi'et any of it.
The dispensary is the best
way to? manage the whiskey

started. So what is the use of
starting it up'/ Something
worse would follow.

Heredity.
A Virginia representative in congress
says that two ladies in Richmond
with whom he is well acquainted
were one day discussing the
relative longevity of the members of
their respective families.
"I have no doubt," said one of the
lfldips. "that pvprvthincr pnnisidprpd
we Blanks are the most notable family
in Virginia when it comes to a
question of longevity. Do you know,
my father died at eighty-nine, while
mv grandfather reached the advanced
age of ninetv-sever."
"Is that so?" queried the other
ladv. "And which grandfather was
that?"
"Oh," replied the first speaker,
"that was the grandfather by my
first hujband."?Harper's Weekly.
Why Corn Pops.
When the grains of maize or Inr./N
r\ rfnrt f 1 \r yr\Q + flU
UlUil I'Ul II MIC ^CUbU lwaovvu vxivj
burst with a pop and turn inside
out. They are then known as popcorn.
This popping is due to the
evaporation of the oil contained in !
the kernel. Ordinary wheat does
not pop so readily because the outer
portion of the kernel is more porous
and thus permits the escape of the
oil as it evaporates. In the case of
popcorn a great pressure is developed
in the kernel by the confined
oil, which is present in greater quantity,
so that the kernel is suddenly I
exploded and reversed.
Why the Earth Is Hound.
It seems as if text books for children

leave hardly any chance for misun- j

continue to com mm to memory the!
words without much thought of
their meaning, ftflow do we know
that the earth is^^und?" asked a
teacher of one of her boys. The pu-1
pil rose promptly and, with a perfectly
stolid expression, answered
glibly, "We learn that the earth is
round from the following facts," and
immediately sat down again, evidently
feeling that he had given a
full and most satisfactory reply.

Genuine Boston Attitude.
The inhabitants of "The Huh ot
the Universe" are said to have their
own ideas of their own importance.
The comic artists for years have
reaped a rich harvest in caricaturing
the wise Boston children. A story
which is attributed on good authority
to Henry James hits off this
Boston attitude to perfection. At
a dinner party Mr. James told the
storv of a Back bay Boston lady
who in one sweeping classification
spoke of "the people living below
Beacon street, New Yorkers and that
class of people."?New York Herald.

certain comic paper, only to have
them returned almost immediately.
He sent them out a second time, and
again they came back. Then the
author sat down and wrote the following
note to the editor, again
sending his contribution:
Dear Sir?During your absence your office
boy has been returning masterpieces,
several of which I Inclose. Trusting that
you will remit at your earliest convenience.
I am, etc.. .
It is said that the editor remitted.
?Harper's Weekly.
Reti%ned With Thanks.
There are of course various ways
of returning a manuscript, but it is
probable that the following instance
is unique. While Sir Alfred Harmsworth
was actively engaged in editorial
work one of his contributors
\as amazed one day on opening an
envelope to find the following brief
note:
"Dear Sir?The superscription to
your MS. seems to best express our
reason for refusal. Yours, etc."
On examination the title page
was found to read as follows: "His
Great Sin, about 5,000 words."
Curious Leaseholds.
Some of the English tenures are
exceedingly curious. A farm neajr
Broadhouse. in Yorkshire, pays an.flu$lly
to the landlord a snowball ip
<Ri(jj-iimmer and a re.d fpsg at Christ.niiifr.
The manor of Fostpp js hel<J
by a rental of two arrows and a loaf
of bread. An estate in the north of
England is held by the exhibition
before a court every seven years of
a certain vase owned by the family,
another in Suffolk by an annual
rental of two white doves. The
British government holds land in
Chatham by paying the heirs of the
man from whom it was bought two
peppercorns. The man's descendants
now live in Holland, and the
peppercorns are annually 6ent thither
in a gold box.
