IRATE HUSBAND KILLS TWO MEN Alleged That They Mad Kidnapped the Wife of His Bosom. SOUTH CAROLINA TRAGEDY ’ Slain Men Were Prominent Doc tor and His Son. Dr. Thomas E. James, a prominent physician of Greenville, S. C., who has many friends, and who enjoyed a lucrative practice, and his son, Wade Hampton James, were killed near Six Mile church, in Pickens county Wed nesday night, just before midnight. The shooting was done by Sam Lanier, a prosperous and popular iarmer of Pickens county, and the alleged cause of the double killing was that Dr. James and his son were driving away, so Lanier thought, with she latter’s wife. The physician was instantly killed, but his son lingered until about noon Thursday, when he expired, despite She attention given him by several physicians. It was at first reported that Wade Hampton James was only slightly wounded, but his friends were later informed that he, too, was dead. Dr. James and his son left Green ville a few days ago to visit their plan tation, which is in the vicinity of Six- Mile mountain. On their way they stopped at the iouse of Sam Lanier and there, it is »aid, by some means, procured Mrs. Lanier and the three started towards their destination, which is unknown. They had not gone very far, however, whan Sam Lanier intercepted them. He had learned, it is represented,that •they had driven away with his wife. The irate husband, armed with a shotgun, started in pursuit. As soon as Mrs. Lanier saw her husband ap proaching, she, it is said, leaped from the buggy and disappeared in the darkness. Just as she leaped Sam Lanier emptied the contents of his shotgun into the bodies of the men he thought were carrying his wife away. Lanier went to Pickens Thursday morning and surrendered to the sheriff. Dr. James was for many years a resident of Anderson county and has practiced at Piedmont and Newry. For the past four months he has been residing in Greenville. A wife and several children survive him. The coroner held an inquest late Thursday afternoon and found a ver dict to the effect that the two men had been killed by Sam Lanier. The shooting caused considerable sxcitement in Pickens, although the aoan who did the killing has many friends in the county, who announce that he will be exonerated. n’VEAGH FOILED. Carter’s Attorney Received No Encouragement In Plea For His Client. A Washington dispatch says: The president has heard what he has ex pected ever since he approved the findings and sentence of the Carter eourtmartial, a plea for the commuta tion of the former captain’s sentence ®f imprisonment. Wayne MacVeagh, the chief of Carter’s big staff of coun sel, called at the white house Thurs day morning and called the president’s attention to what he believes the harshness of Carter’s sentence. When he went away from the execu tive mansion, Mr. MacVeagh said he had called to pay his respects and to eongratulate the president on the re »nlt in Ohio. After doing that the iarmer cabinet officer brought up the matter of Carter’s sentence. His ef fort was apparently made chiefly for She purpose of getting some expression from the president which would af ford him an idea of what kind of re eeption his appeal for executive clem ency will receive. So far as can be learned he received no encouragement. It was not the president’s intention that he should. McVeagh says that Carter has given ap hope of a favorable hearing on his appeal to the supreme court, and is, therefore, preparing the way for an effort to get the president to commute the sentence. The ex-captain is still stt Governor’s Island. The time he is spending in prison there does not count off on the term of five years he is to serve at Fort Leavenworth. Warden Claughrey will put Carter in charge as an assistant superintend ent of construction in charge of the addition that is being built to the prison at Leavenworth. The warden proposes that the gov • arnment shall get some return, even though it be small, for the instruction it has given Carter as an euginner. Senator Hay ward Very 111.

REPORTER WORTH A MILLION, Now Editor and Proprietor 0! the Jersey City Journal. Col. Sheffield Phelps, owner of the Jersey City Journal, was the richest newspaper man In America several years ago. From his father, the late William Walter Phelps, he Inherited a fortune of several millions, and under his active and practical management be made his newspaper the foremost Journal of the State. At the end of his first year he was bitterly attacked by his political ene mies, who brought libel suits for many hundreds of thousands of dollars against him, but he won easily In the courts. Since then he has been a pow erful political factor In Hudson Coun ty, and his course has been signally In dorsed by Gov. Voorhees. The Colonel, whose title comes from appointment on the staff of Gov. Griggs, lives in one of the showy places of the State, directly opposite New York City, on the crest of the Pali sades. The family estate comprises more than 3,000 acres. It Is probably tho costliest farm In America. The land is worth In the neighborhood of $3,000,000 for building purposes. After his graduation from Yale, in 1880, Col. Phelps began active news paper work as a reporter on the World at New York. Later he became an ed itorial writer on the Mall and Express, and afterward filled the position of act ing managing edltoroh the same paper. Once, while on thp World staff, he was sent to report the wedding of the daughter of a Wall street man recently from the West. The reporters were met at the front door by a trained ser vant, who quickly separated them from the guests and led them to the host’s private room, where the banker met them In and fiave them type written slips containing the Informa tion they were sent for. Then cham pagne was opened, and the banker took some cigars from a drawer in his desk. “Have one,” he said to Phelps. "They’re genuine conchas. I Import them myself.” "Thanks,” said Phelps pleasantly, as he took the cigar. "Have one of mine. They're real ascura maduras.”—Phila delphia Saturday Evening Post People Who Live ia Nests. who have returned from the heart of Africa and the Australian continent, tell wonderful stories of nest-building people who inhabit the wilds of those countries. In the bushmen of Australia we find perhaps the lowest order of men that are known. They are so primitive that they do not know enough to build even the simplest form of huts for shelter. The nearest they could approach to It is to gather a lot of twigs and grass, and taking them into a thicket or jun gle, they build a nest for a home, much as does a bird. The nest is usu ally built large enough for the family, and if the latter be very numerous then the nests are of a very large size. Into this place they all turn and snuggle and curl up together like so many kittens. Sometimes the foliage will grow together and form a sort of natural covering, but there is never any attempt at constructing a protec tion from the rain and storms, and it is a marvel how they endure them. Where there is a particularly good piece of jungle for home sites it will be quickly appropriated for the pur pose, and sometimes hundreds of these nests will be found together in the bush, as it is called.

Suddenly seeing Sam mle's shadow, she seized scissors, snip ped savagely, still singing softly. Sammle said slyly, “Sweetheart, sing Sammle something sadly sweet.” Sallle started—seemingly surprised— saylrg: “Sammle Sampson, stop saying such silly stuff. Spoony sentiments sound soft. Say something sensible.” Sammle Straightaway said: “Sweet est Sallle, set some time soon." Sally serenely said, "Say Sunday.” "Surely, surely,” shouted Sammle, supremely satisfied.
