Death from a wound inflicted by a
gun in the hands of Charlie Foreman
was the verdict returned by the
Jury the case of Henry Nobles
In the Farmville section of the
Sunday. It appears that case
was one of first degree murder, as
the evidence taken at the coroner's
inquest seems to be to the effect the
murder was premeditated.
Before the coroner's Jury Mr. John
C. testified that he heard Char-
lie Foreman say that he was
to Henry Nobles before Saturday
night. In about an hour after that
lie saw Foreman coming up the road
with a gun. He Immediately got on
Ms wheel and went to meet Foreman
and asked him to carry the gun back,
whereupon the replied that he
would not do It went on a
little distance with Foreman and
again asked him to return the gun
to the place where he secured It, and
the refused. After this
on passed on by the and late.-
saw a mule and a buggy coming down
the road. Discovering that it was the
fellow wanted by Foreman he told
Nobles that he had better stop. Char-
lie Foreman said to Nobles have
been bulling around here, and I am
going to kill Nobles ran his
hand in his pocket but took nothing
out, and got out of the buggy,
the buggy whip with him. The
two were In the road, with the
mule between them. Foreman point-
ed the gun at Nobles, and Nobles said,
me, shoot In a second or
two the gun Ired, and Nobles fell.
Foreman then walked off to the side
of the road and into the field, where
he reloaded his gun, and came back
with the else wants to
take it but there was no reply
to his query.
testified that he was within
fifteen yards of Nobles when he fell,
but that he did not hear him say
one word.
Foreman was brought here this
morning and was placed the lo-
cal Jail, where be will await trial at
the next term of criminal court.

THE POOL BOOM MATTER.
A bare quorum of the members of
the board of aldermen last night
advantage of the absence three
men and voted to grant license to pool
rooms in Greenville. Of course, the
same the meeting last
was one of politics, and it appears
to have tow well handled.
We do not believe that the
formerly passed refusing
to pool rooms could have been
n pealed had the other three members
of the board been on hand to cast
their ballot in the matter, and are
sorry that the four members present
favoring pool rooms saw their duty
to lake the that they did.
One member the board remarked
this morning that he would do all in
his power to repeal the
en last night, and that the very first
time his supporters were present at
the meeting of the board, he would
call the matter again, and demand
that some action he taken. If this

HIS FIRST PUBLISHED WORK
Lighting Plant Sails Away.
The people of the town of
Guatemala, have Just lost their light-
plant in a rather strange way, for
this lighting plant has borne away to
sea. Four years ago a steamer of the
line ran ashore on the shoals
near the town and remained aground
In the lagoon without, however,
any damage. The
the original Idea
of using the dynamos on board the
vessel for lighting the town. The
connections were made without
difficulty and the plant was a great
success. But an engineer employed
by a wrecking company arrived and
decided to float the steamer. This was
done; the electric plant put out to sea
and the people of were left to re-
turn to their discarded oil lamps.

Partly because she has inherited her
temperament from many generations
of fussing, fuming, drudging women.
Partly because she is too convention-

cultivate that particular brand of

Less Coal Used In Making Coke.
The quantity of coal required to
produce a ton of coke Is much less
than formerly. The average gain in
1912, compared ten years ago, is
probably at least pounds. It la
doubtful If In the earlier years the
actual yield of coal in coke exceeded
per cent, whereas In 1912 It was
per cent., according to the United
States geological survey. This gain Is
largely due to the Increase in the
production of by-product coke, In which
the yield of coke from a ton of coal if

He had some ingenious men among

by little pieces for his paper,
which gained it credit and made It

Greenville, Sept.
What is believed to be careless
handling of a pistol resulted last
Saturday afternoon in the death of
a boy
teen years old, living In the
section of the county. While it la
not known exactly whether the boy
was a suicide or if he came to his
death by accident, It Is believed that
the latter course is the more prob-
able.
With another boy, went
out about o'clock Saturday morn-
to look for cows in a pasture,
and both of the boys had guns. They
hunted for cows and roamed the
woods for the greater portion of the
I morning and far into the afternoon,
lit was about o'clock in the after-
noon when mounted a log
and began looking for a tick which
he had crawled on him. Theron
Daniel, the other boy who was with
him, stated that when he himself
j stepped from the log, he heard the
gun fire. Looking around he saw
Hardison fall, and heard him e-
I claim. He struggled
about two or three minutes and died,
I Daniel ran to the house
and told the boy's father.
To the coroner's Jury the father of
the dead boy said that the young
low was found lying with bis head
and his hands in mud. and that it was
in this position that the coroner's
jury found him.
Coroner J. C. Green held the In-
quest yesterday morning, and found
that came to his death at
the hands of a pistol in his own hands.

AH Clues Hate Failed to Reveal the
Identity of Dismembered Girl.
NOW YORK, Sept. again
the mystery of the murdered girl, parts
of whose body was found in the
son river more than a week ago, is
a puzzle, all clues having failed to re-
veal her identity or the manner of
her death.
The body is not that of Annette Day,
the Brooklyn girl, who has been miss-

ed. Day and his sister,
Mary Day, today went to the
Morgue and carefully viewed the
upper and lower portions of the dis-

that the fragments were not

Francis Day admitted that the body
was not that of his sister.
The police of New York now have
no tangible clue in the case. They
have no idea as to the Identity of
the murdered, or her murderer.

Less Coal Used In Making
Tho quantity of coal required to
produce a ton of coke Is much less
formerly. The average In
compared with ten years ago, Is
probably at least pounds It Is
doubtful If in the earlier years the
yield of coal in coke exceeded
per cent., whereas In 1912 It was
per cent., according to the
States geological survey. This gain is
largely due to the increase In the
production of by-product coke, In which
the yield of coke from a ton of coal Is
very much higher than in bee

Sales of tobacco on the Greenville
market during yesterday, and that

the season on this market. One
mate of the number of pounds that
were yesterday brought here for sale
placed the figure at This
may and it may not be accurate, but
some have expressed their belief that
the market contained about that much
yesterday.
Seven hundred thousand pounds of
tobacco Is the most that has been
on this market during the present
season, and yesterday's was one
of the only three that have been
blocked this year, thought It was much
the larger of tho number. Two ware-
houses In all failed to dispose of all
the weed on their during the
day, and their sales continued
until this morning. of the first
sale today beginning with the houses
scheduled, the two selling forces went
to the houses that failed to get through
yesterday.
While the sale today Is thought
to be a little above the overage, it
Is that all of the weed on
tho local market will be disposed of
before tho hour for the day's work
to be done.
It can stated that prices for
tobacco have scarcely ever been bet-
than they are the present
time. The average for the past few
days was given this afternoon at
nearly twenty cents, and this Is said
to be high and very good.
