TRAGEDY IT LAURENS.
PATROLMAN ?TONE AND YEGG
MAN KILL BACH OTHER.
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.

ANTI-JAPANESE BILLS POST?
PONED.
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.

EXPERIMENT STATION.
Pamphlet Just Issued Shows What
Station Accomplished in 1908.
Clemson College. 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.
It is such a remarkable cure, and so
positive in its action, that DeLorme's
Pharmacy goes so far as to guaran?
tee it to cure catarrh or money back.
A complete ouflt, which consists of
a hard rubber pocket inhaler, a bottle
of Hyomei, and a unique dropper for
filling the inhaler, only costs one dol?
lar, and if an extra bottle is after?
wards needed the price is only 50
cents.
Hyomei is a healing, antiseptic bal?
sam, taken from the mighty eucalyp?
tus trees in the health-giving forests
of Australia, Where diseases of the
respiratory tract are unknown.
All the sufferer has to do is to in?
hale the antiseptic air of Hyomei over
the Inda med parts where the germs
are entrenched, three or four times a
day.
It cures coughs, colds, asthma, hay
fever and croup without stomachy
dosing.
