Laurens Shocked at Double Tragedy ??Two Policemen Attempt to Ar? rest Suspicious Character, Which Results In the Death, of Two Men. Laurena. Jan. 28.?Few tragedtes have so shocked the people of the community as the result of a deadly encounter last night between Patrol? man McDuffle Stone and W. Frank Walker and an unkonwn burglar, whose outfit of tools Indicates that he was a safe-cracker. This morning the unknown yeggman lies dead at the city station house and Patrolman Stone la at the point of death, with five pistol wounds In hla body. The story of the tragedy as learned from Mr. Walker and Mr. Stone, who Is still conscious, Is that In ths course of their nightly rounds ths two police? men met ths through freight from Spartan burg which arrived here at 2 15 o'clock, aa la their custom. Upon i reach ing the depot Mr. Stone walked down ons side of the train of cars and Mr Walker down ths other. Seeing a stranger, with a little meal sack in his hand. Mr. Stons accosted him and Inquired what he was doing. "I am a trainman." replied the stranger. * "T am going back to the caboose." again rsplisd ths unknown. "Well, where la your lantern?" aald Mr. Stons, "train handa don't walk around hers in the dark." Thereupon Mr. Stone advanced In reach of the man and laid hla hand upon his shoulder, about to arrest him, such being instructions relative to loafers at ths depot. Aa soon as Stone's hand touched the strsnger he whipped out his pistol, a 46 calibre, magaslne, from Inside his vest and began firing, emptying ths chamber, five of the shots taking affect In the body of Stone, one In ths bowels, three in the fleshy part of the leg and one in the lower Up. So doss was the range that Stone did not have an opportunity to draw, so clinched hla antagonist and together they fell to the ground. They were so lying when Police? man Walker crawled under from the other side of ths train .the stranger struggling to loose himself. Hs was almost free from ths weakening hold of Mr. Stons and was reloading his pistol when Walker came upon him. "Don't shoot." cried the stranger, "I am already shot to pieces," which of course was. a bluff :o gain time, for Stone had nevSr drawn his pis to\ "I will surrender,'* said hs. "Give me your pistol then," aaid Walker. Prstsndlng to hand ths pis? tol to ths policeman, ths stranger flred at Walker, who quickly drew and shot ths man to his death, four or five shots taking effect. Policeman Walker than hurried to the atatlon house summons*! the phy? sicians and notified Chief Bagwell. The stranger lived about three-quar? ters of an hour after being carried to ths police atatlon, but hs could not be mads to talk in spite of the numerous efforts to ascertain his identity. About his person were found some letters, but in them there Is nothing of a clue. In the sack which he held in his hand was a complete yeggman'* outfit with nltro-glycerlns, dynamite, keys, wrenches, etc. He had ISO In cur? rency. One of the train hands states that there were two men down at the sta? tion and that one escaped in the me lee; Mr. Walker saya. however, thut he saw only the one. Mr. Stone died at 6:30 this after? noon, never having recovered from the severe shock. Death waa caused by ahock and Internal hemorrhages. The body of the dead yeggman ha ? been embalmed and will be kept here for Identification. MAY NOT MOVE AI KEN LEPEK. Believed That Injunction Will De Made Permanent.

Action on California Measures Aimed At Aliens Put Off Temporarily by Agreement. Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 27.?Legisla? tion against Japanese was temporarily put aside by the State legislature to? day as a result of an agreement be? tween President Roosevelt, Gov. Oll let and the leaders of both houses. As? semblyman A. M. Drew agreed, after a conference with the governor, to amend his anti-alien bill. Grove L. Johnson was not willing to postpone action on his Japanese bills, but a mo? tion to put all the measures over for a week prevailed with little opposi? tion. The governor received the fol? lowing telegram from the president today: "I must again express from the standpoint of all our people the ap? preciation of the great service that you are rendering. I have absolute and entire faith in the judgment and patriotism of the people of the great State of California and I know that they will support you. My letter is already on its way to you and you may make it public whenever you desire." Senator Mark Anthony introduced in the upper house this morning a joint resolution calling upon congress to require that the Japanese consul general at San Francisco be recalled by his government on the ground that the official had attempted to influence the action of the California legisla? ture. The alleged affense of the con? sul was that he had called upon Gov. Gillett and asked him to prevent the enactment of the anti-Japanese bills pending. Don't Ridicule Your Boy. (Orison Swett Marden, in Success Mag? azine.) Many a boy has gone to bed In tears because his father criticized or de? nounced his effort at playing the vio? lin; made fun of a simple little com? position or story which he wrote; dis? couraged his attempt to make some little mechanical device, or threw a wet blanklet on his dreams, laughing at his prediction of what he would do in the future. A man who has recently come into great prominence in his profession says that when, tremblingly, he told his father what he wanted to be, he was told that a padded cell was the only place for a boy with such crazy ideas, and that he was forced for years to do that which God had for? bidden in every fiber of his being, and against which every drop of blood in him protested. The father who has made up his mind that his son must continue his business and keep his estute intact, is not in a position to decide on the boy's bent?his special aptitude. He is pre? judiced at the very outset. The reason why there are so many mediocre men and women in the world, and so many failures, Is be? cause they never found their right places. Everywhere we see men and wo? men, capable of much better things, who were discouraged and diverted from their natural bent when young. Their own families did not take stock in them; they laughed at their young ambitions, and strangled their aspira? tions, either by harsh treatment, or. what is even worse, ridicule; and their teachers did not understand them. You cannot read the sealed me nage which God has wrapped up in yoal boy or girl, and you should regard It as sacred. You should respect the dreams of future greatness of your son, because the Creator may have in? tended him for a grand and far reaching mission. You cannot tell what possibilities are locked in his 1 rain. He may be perfectly conscious at this moment, that he was intended for a much higher place in the world than you are occupying yourself, and to denounce him, to scoff at his dreams, to laugh at his predictions for the future may be a source of great humiliation to you some day. It may also work incalculable Injury to your boy. A thousand times better strike him with your hand than blast his hopes by ridicule or by a cruel, chill? ing, cutting word. ?Hoarse coughs and stuffy colds that may develop Into pneumonia over night are quickly cured by Foley's Honey and Tar, and It soothes in? flamed membranes, heals the lungs, and expels the cold from the system.

Jan. 27.?The 1 twenty-fifth annual report of the South Carolina experiment station has been issued, showing what the station has accomplished during the past year. The pamphlet contains the re? ports of the director, the chemist, the horticulturist, the agriculturist, the geologist, the animal husbandman, the botanist and bacteriologist, the veter? inarian, the zoologist and entomologist and the secretary and librarian. The agricultural division has carried on experiments on various farm crops. Cotton experiments have been made to determine the best varities for the dif? ferent types of soil in the State, to find varieties resistant to disease, va? rieties with large boll and higher yield of lint, and varieties of better length and quality of lint. Experiments show that to grow al? falfa successfully it is necessary to use lime, about 1,000 pounds per acre, an abundance of phosphate at time of planting and a liberal supply of stable manure. The station has reached the conclu? sion also that the best way to apply fertilizers to oats, in addition to that used when plainting, is to use ample supply of nitrate of soda and small amounts of phosphate and potash as a top dressing in the spring. Tests to determine the relative value of nitrate of soda and cotton seed meal as the source of nitrogen have led to the conclusion that on poor soils depleted of humus titrate of soda gives better results, but that the sec? ond year cotton seed meal gives better results. The determination of the most econ? omical fertilizers for different kinds of soils has led to valuable results. Of the $12,000,000 spent annually for fer? tilizers in this State it is estimated that $2,000,000 is lost to the farmers by their not knowing the proper pro? portions and amounts to use on a given kind of soil for a given crop, and by the failure of the farmers to rotate so as to get the best results from fertilizers applied. The work of the horticultural de vision in experimenting with grapes, Irish potatoes, tomatoes, etc., is given, showing what has been accomplished in breeding plants, fruits and vege? tables. Details of this work will be given in bulletins. Studies of the peach crop borer and how to control It, of the codling moth, of the plum curcullo and of pecan in? sects have been made by the entomol? ogist, who has also given much at? tention to the stomach worm and the hook worm in stock. The division of animal husbandry has come to the conclusion from feed? ing experiments that corn silage and cotton seed meal Is the most econo? mical ration to feed to dairy cattle at present in this section. Corn silage can be produced in the State more economically than In many of the Northern States, where the dairy in? dustry is a success, and that fact, to? gether with the fact that the meal does not have to be hauled long dis? tances at considerable expense, should make our farmers give the dairy in? dustry the attention which it deserves. The botanist and bacteriologist spent much time during the year on the study of anthracnose in cotton and how to check and prevent it, as this disease is now causing the loss of thousands of dollars in this tSate. Other work done by this division was on diseases of cotton, wheat and other grains. CATARRH MUST GO. And Hawking, Spitting, Snuffles Must Go Too. Hyomel (pronounced High-o-me) will give the sufferer from catarrh joyful relief In five minutes.
