Special to The Herald. BATESBURG, H. C. Batesbar* people tell of a eurlouH Incident with regards to thee death this week of s\lr. J. I). McAllister of that place. Several years ago when his wife died he had a double tomb erected in the village cemetery for himself and his wife. He even went so far as to have the date of his own death .en graved on hts side of the tomb. This he put down as March 20, 1909. This also was his birthday. Strange enough he died In little more than a month after that date, on May 12. He now lies hurled under that tomb with the date unehanged. He was an aged man and seemed to feel the loss of his wife to such an extent that he was cognizant he could not long survive her. But It should be left to the psychologists to figure out whether hts setting the date of his death had much to do with having It occur so near that date.
