L. McElroy Shoots and Instantly Kills Miss Roxie Steadman, a 17Year-Old Girl?Fires Bullet Into His Own Head?Four Shots Fired in Girl's Body. (Monday's Spartanburg Journal) Miss Roxie Steadman, a 17-year-old girPwas instantly killed this morning at 11:15 o'clock by J. L. McElroy, in a pathway leading in the rear of Beaumont mills No. 3. Four bullets of a 38 special were emptied in the body of the young woman and as her slayer retreated he fired the remaining bullets at himself, the bullet lodging in the head, in the rear of the right ear. He will probably recover. McElroy came to town and was arrested by Sheriff White in the rear of the Kennedy library. No reason of a definite nature could be procured from the earliest accounts of the killing at 1 o'clock this afternoon, but telephone communications with parties near the scene of the tragedy intimates that the killing was the result of love quarrel. It is asserted that the man had been jilted by the woman recently, and that he was engaged thereby. . One shot was fired after the body fell to the ground. This shot, it is said, entered the woman's head. There were two or possibly more eye witnesses to the affair. Some heard the bullets and rushed to the scene of the shooting, but so far as can be ascertained no one reached the woman before life was extinct. The number of shots entering the body had not been ascertained this afternoon. New Residents Beaumont The Steadman girl with her mother, it is reported came to Beaumont mills from the Clifton mills three weeks ago. It is reported that McElroy came to Beaumont village, as an operative in the card rooms, shortly after from the same place. It is supposed that the love affair was of recent origin, since it is asserted that McElroy had only been at Clifton for a few months. He came it is stated from North Carolina. Very little is known of either of the principles in the affair by the operatives of the Beaumont mills who were interviewed this afternoon shortly after the man was arrested. Many of them, aroused over the affair came to Sheriff White's office and pledged their support in helping to apprehend the man. Upon arrival here they were somewhat surprised to be advised that the mar had already been taken into custody. McElroy Arrested Less than 45 minutes after the killing was reported to the sheriff's office, McElroy was arrested by Sheriff White near the old Blake house in the tear of the Kennedy library. T*>?* he did not come to the city to surrender, is asserted by Sheriff White in the fact that the man when arrested was not coming in the direction of the city. He appeared to be trailing across the city at this poim was probably making his way to the west of the city. Coroner John S. Turner announc ed at 1 o'clock this afternoon that he had secured a list of material witnesses for the inquest which he will hold this afternoon. It is reported that after the man was locked up he said that the girl he killed was not a lady.

He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke, and carries your account until you are able to pay. He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes exchanges when you are not satisfied with what you have bought. He is the chap who stands behind his guaranty, and makes restoration of all losses that you may sustain on the goods you buy. He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake, and lets you out with a message to the "kids" and a real come again goodbye. He is the chap who meets and greets you on the street every day in the year, and takes a neighborly interest in your family and your affairs. He is the chap whose clerks and bookkeepers and other employees live in Union and spend their money with you and with other Union people. He is the chap who pays heavy taxes to help support Union schools, and build Union streets, and maintain Union fire department and police departments, and parks, and lighting and water service.

Death of Mrs. S. A. Porter. Jonesville, Feb. 15.?Mrs. S. A. ' Porter died at her home here Friday evening about three o'clock. Mrs. 1 Porter had been suffering for many 7ears with that distressing disease, isthma and for the fact that she was i woman of much energy and great vill power, she would have succumbed to the disease long ago, but 1 jrrippe set in upon her only three days before her death and she soon gave way and the end came peacefully and quietly.

Jones, but she bore all this as only a sweet christian spirit trusting in God can do, and she looked forward to a time when she would be reunited to her sweet baby , girl in a better land, consequently death had no terror for her. She had had been a member of the Baptist ' church many years and lived a con1 sistcr.t christian life. \ The funeral services were conducted at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ida E.

A Card to Owners of Rural Telephone Lines We are anxious to see that all lines owned by other parties and connected with us are kept in such condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the owners of rural lines are responsible for their upkeep, we want to co-operate with them. All lines require a thorough overeauling occasionally if the best service is to be obtained. We recommend that every line connected with us be overhauled at least once a year, and that at least one experienced telephone man assist in this work. Th?? cost of this work when divided among all the patrons of the line, makes the amount paid by each man small, and this cost will be more than offset by the ! improved service. If the owners of rural telephone lines in this section are experiencing trouble with their service, we . will appreciate their talking the matter over with our ; Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do what we can toward helping you improve the con dition of your line. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY mJB\ How To Give Quinine To Children.
