ELECTED GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA
ANDERSON, S. C., Sept. 12.—Mrs.
Alice McAlister and her daughter
Mrs. Walter Allen, are dead and Wal
ter Allen, Is dying as the result of an
early morning tragedy at Orr Mill, a
mill village near this city.
The two women were shot and kill
ed as they sat at the breakfast table
by |he husbandof the younger woman
who turned into an adjacent room and
bred a shot into his own body. At
eight o’clock he was lying on the
floor of the bedroom in which he fell,
still living, but despaired of by the.
doctors. Domestic troubles are thought
to have been the cause of the triple
tragedy. 1
First accounts of the tragedy do not
include the statement of an eye wit
ness to the killings, but neighbors who
reached the home immediately after
the shots were fired say the husband
entered the house and demanded to
know where his gun was hidden. Upon
being told by his wife that she did
not know where ljis pistol was he is
said to have demanded in a gruff
voice: “Well, what are you going to
do about it?’
With that he whipped out a revolver
and fired first at Mrs. Mary McAllis
ter, killing her with bullet through
the heart. He then fired upon his
wife, Mrs. Sallie McAllister, Killing
her, and went into the next room and
fired a bhllet into his own body.
I The tragedy this morning comes as
Mrs.'the culmination of a long string of
John ever's which rave wrecked the happi
ness of the home of Walter Allen,
James McAllister, this morning re
porters learned that his sister had
come home to Anderson about two
weeks ago that she had come lor pro
tection from her husband.
“Ho has always been 1 mean to her,'
said . Mr. McAllister, “and two weeks
ago she and her little daughter came
home to mother's to be away from
him . This Is the first tlme.they have

ernor over Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick
by ncounty unit vote of 298 to 114; ac
cording to unofficial returns from all

Mr. Hardwick the remaining 4ll. The

Moore. The incumbents who It was
indicated were safely returned are
William D. Upshaw, fifth; J. W. Wise,
sixth; C. H. Brand, eighth, and T.
M. Bell, ninth.
Georgia will have at least two wo
men ln her legislature for the first
time according to virtually complete

regarded as equivalent to election.
They are Mrs. Viola Napier, a Macon
attorney, and Miss Messte Kempton,
an Atlanta newspaper woman.

sioner of Agriculture favored J. J.
Brown. Incomplete figures gave him
forty-two counties with 108 unit votes
against twenty-two counties and 62
unit vote| for A. O. Blalock, his near
est competitor.
For Chief .lusUce of the Supreme
Court, Judge Richard B. Russeli, of
Winder, apparently has defeated
Chief Justice William H. Fish and
Judge R. C. Bell, of the Court of Ap
peals, seems to have defeated Judge
Harper Hamilton of Rome.

his place on the Public Service Com
mission, while Walter R. McDonald,
the blind lawyer of Augusta, and sev
eral times member of the State leg
islature, was leading J. E. Palmour

inlssioner.

have won by a large mapority over
W. C. Bryant, Atlanta, for the Pris

Owens has gone home ill.
Private Willis Duke, Co. C., Twenty*
ninth Infantry was struck just above
his left knee by a stray bullet. Just
how the accident occurred was never
quite determined, but a large number
of persons on the scene were of the
opinion that when Clements was lifted
up following the shooting his gun fell
to the ground and exploded. Others
were of the opinion that It was fired
while Clements was lying on the floor. '
The soldier, who has been on spe
cial duty at the depot, w«s taken to ’
physicians office ln the Murrah build
ing and later to the hospital at Fort
Banning. The wound, while painful
is not serious.
The shooting occurred in front of
the store of the White company and
•i the lobby of the Bonita theatre.

statements to the Enquirer-Sun to the
effect that Clements, who was a mem
ber of the county police force several
years ago, Was shot by Chief Huling.
Others state that both the chief and
his son fired at the bailiff.

wounds of entrance. There Was J.
slight injury on the left scalp above
the ear, .caused by a bullet. The nose
was skinned .but the Injury did not ap
pear to have been caused by a bullet

It Is asserted both by friends of thq
defendants and the deceased, that tho
shooting was the 'desuit of a raid
staged by the county police force on
Clement’s home in East Highlands
several weeks ago. Clements, at the
tlnie was under a |1Q0 bond for his
appearance ln the city court charged
with violation of the prohibition law
