ASSASSINATED RULERS i ( Every Country of the World Has Had Its Experiences. 1 < Assassination has always been one 1 of the dangers to which personages ] prominent in the political world have ! been particularly exposed, and hardly ] any country can boast itself free from I that crime. s * ' 1 T CnAAln tVlO M AOraiiaill uuiuuiu, mc inot ui iuv three American, presidents to be mur- 1 dered was assassinated as he was celebrating the trimphant close of the ..< Civil war. On Good Friday, April 14, i 1865. just as the north was rejoicing at I the end of the long struggle with the vl south, he attended Ford's theater in 1 Washington to see a performance of < "Our American Cousin." An actor, Jno. Wilkes Booth, crept to the back of his < "box soon after the curtain had risen 2 and shot him from behind. Then, leap- t ins on the stage, he brandished a dag- t ,gei\ shouted "Sic semper tyrannis!" ^ and escaped through the stag2 door, i Lincoln was carried across th.? street I to a small house and died th-^re at 7 o'clock tie next morning. Ac ih3 same 1 time an attempt was made to assassi- r iiate Secretary Seward in his own { house. c The next president to he slain was 1 - - -_ r James A. Garfield, on July 2, i*jsi, a t few months after his inauguration, s Charles J. Guiteau, a disappointed of- t fice seeker, shot him down in the Bal- ? timore and Potomac railway stition in t Washington. The avowed purpose of I the assassin was to secure the succession of Vice President Arthur, w ho, he I believed, would be more favorably t disposed to the "Stalwart" wing of the Republican party. Garfield \ lingered for mori than two months. r He was taken from Washington to ? Elberon,N.J., and dio(.' there on Sep- ( tember 19. 1 William McKinley fell a victim to t the doctrines of anarchy. Like Lincoln, < Vip had be?n re-electe 1 and seemed to < be about to inaugurate a new and im- < portant policy in regaru to foriegn < commercial relations. He went to j Buffalo to speak at th'? 1 'ar.-American < exposition, and there, as he was hold- ; ing a reception, he was shoe down by j Czolgosz. The man approached him in < the line of citizens, holding a revolver t concealed by a handerchief. As he 1 reached the president apparently in-j \ tending to shake his hand, he fired! j with fatal effect. McKinley was carried ( to a near-by house, and lived for eight days after his wound. Foriegn countries have had 'their full f cv^rp nf such assassinations as these-, and in many cases, death has overtaken a ruler on a state, occasion, when he was making a public progress to perform an important function. ( So, on March, 21, 1S81, the Czar Alexander II. of Russia, was blown to j pieces by a bomb as he was on his wav to the winter palace. He had been distinguished by his liberal views and his J desire to .ameliorate conditions in his! empire, but he was struck dcwji J through a conspiracy of Nihilist. So, too, a few years ago, a plot in tfte army caused an artillery salute in honor of ^ ~ ?->+ nvir* tn tnv.p the form of a! lilt; UiCBCUL w_.ct 1 VV I 1 discharge of loaded pieces directly in the direction of the imperial household President Carnot of France was the only head of a foriegn republic beside j j President Borda Idiarte of Uraguay. to be assassinated of late years. He met ^ his death in Lyons at the hands of av j Italian anarchist, Caserio, who -killed J him on June 24, 1894. He had gone to jc the exhibition of arts and science, and j * had been enthusiastically greeted on;s the way. Just as he stepped into his Is carriage on his departure from the j v building, Caserio sprang up on the jt step, waving a paper as though it were j c a petition. The guards permitted him 111 j + to approach the president, and he-' drew a dagger and stabbed him in the!1 body. The wound was mortal, and | ^ Carnot died the next day. " 1 1 ^ AO 1 ! ^ One of the most temoie 01 puinuaii assassinations was that of King Alex-j G ander and Queen Draga cf Servia on j ^ June 11, 1903. That little kingdom had 1 been torn with internal strife, and J55 King Milan had been forced to abdi-! s cate in favor of his son. Alexand r believed in drastic measures, and in a N countrv seething with revolutionary r : e and liberal feeling attempted to make ( the power of the crown more and more j J absolute. In particular he offended his ' subjects by his marriage. i On the evening of June 10, 1903, aj military conspiracy came to a head. A jc number of officers forced their way in- | 1 to the palace, aided by their comrades, j r? who were supposed to be on guard.1 . They reached the royal chamber and j1 were faced by King Alexander with his j aueen in his arms. They demanded his j( immediate abdication. He refused, and immediately a storm of bullets fell on the royal pair. They were shot down j and the throne was given to Peter of the house of Karageorgevitch, the present reigning monarch. The assassination of King Humbert of Italy on July 29, 1900, on the other hand, was inspired by anarchistic feeli iig'. A band of anarchists with headquarters in Patterson, X. J., selectec A.ngelo Bresci to slay the king, whc tiad already, three years before, beei: exposed to anarchistic bullets. The king went to Monza to present the prizes at a gymnastic competition So special danger was feared, and nc particular precuations were taken; Dut as he was leaving the hall and stepping into his carriage, Bresc: fired three times, one of his shot? finding lodgment in the king's heart King Carlos of Portugal and the Jrown Prince Luis fell victims to a -evolutionary conspiracy on Febuarj L, 1908. The kingdom had been in a 'emient for some time with the repubican feeling which led a year or two igo to the abolition of the monarchy rhe royal family had been at Villi Vix>sa, and it was known that they were ibout to return to their palace in Lis>on. As they drove through the streets he conspirators opened fire upon them vith carbines. The king and the crown jrince fell dead, but Queen Amelia and )rince, now ex-King Manuel, escaped. Of all the assassinations of crowned leads of lecent years perhaps the nost dastardly was that of the Em>ress Elizabeth of Austria at Geneva >n September 10, 1898. The empress lad lived a blameless life, and had ^ 4- V? r> ? 1* AM full V* ft *?/\ uiuvvii muic Liidii ucr i-uii auaic v/i narrows.

Of attempts to assassinate crowned leads there has tnren a very large lumber. Even so beloved a sovereign is Queen Victoria was exposed three >r four times to the shots of wouldje murderers, who were generally ;hought to have been insane. King Ed ivard was the victim of an attack while :raveling in Belgium. But the mosl sensational assault on royalty was committed upon King Alfonso of Spain md his bride, the princess Victoria :>f England as they were driving home after their marriage ceremony.

S0> SHOOTS FATHER TO DEATH. rerrible Tragedy on Clinton Streets Slayer Lodged in JaiL Clinton, Oct. 28.?The good name 01 Dlinton was again terribly blightec today by a horrible killing that toolplace in the heart of town, between the Columbia, Newberry and Laurent :reight depot and J. W. Copeland'ts store, about 2.30 o'clock, wtoe<n Warrer Franklin Lawson, of Lanford Station was shot in the back of the head three :imes by his son, Robt. B. Lawson cvho lives five miles north of here. The 7ather and son had been quarrelling ? - t x ^ M UI" UUUUl IWU VvtitI fc, it 12> ?>aiu, uuiiii? svhich time the son's life was ofter :hreatened by his father. Early this norning Robert left his home to bring i bale of cotton to Clinton,, expecting :o apply it :to his account. He was ollowed by his father and younger jrother, Victor. The son had just turned the cotton )ver to the citizen whom he wished tc iave it when, it seems, his father came md demanded it as rent. The citizen, seeing they were about to have soma sords, stepped into his office. Both he father and the son, with the bale >f cotton, started towards the ware louse, when tne fatner, according 10 he son's statement, commanded him o get out of the wagon or he would :ill him. Instantly the son drew his evolver and fired rapidly five times, laiming that this was done in selflefiance. It is said the father was riving and the first shots were fired tuo the back of his head. The fifth hot was fired, after he fell, into his ide. Without any words young Lawson, vho is about 22 years of age and marled last spring, surrendered and turn'd over to the policeman his pistol Hid his father's that he had picked up rom the bottom of the wagon. In his :ell Lawson expressed 110 sorrow nor 'egret for his action, and showed no excitement. A large number of people were on the streets at the time ind many witnessed the whole affair, The general opinion is that the shootng was not necessary. A young brother, who was just back >f the wagon, says that his father did not draw his gun. Lawson was taker it once to I^aurens and placed in jail CHICHESTER S PILLS ? Tin- IIUMONH BRAKD.

[ > i Ottoman Forces Making What May be j t Last Stand Against Victorious j Allies. a London, Oct 29.?The fate of Turkey ) is in the balance tonight. Reports , indicate that the critical battle of the I Turkish-Balkan war is being fought i somewhere along the line from 5 Tchorlu to Luleburgas, in the eastern . area below Adrianople. The Turkish > army under Nazim Pasha, minister of L war and commander-in-chief, is enr gaged with the advancing Balkan i forces. Dispatches from Constantinople, of ficially given out by the Turkish gov. ernment, indicate that the operations are favorable to the Turks. The dis ' patches, however, do not indicate just where <the chief action is taking place or how the opposing forces compare 1 Turkey's Last Chance. L It is Turkey's last chance to retrieve an almost hopeless campaign. Xazim j Pasha is fighting with his back to the | wall; his communications have been ' cut and it is impossible for him to ge: fresh supplies or reinforcements. In Constantinople the feeling of confidence is reviving. It is believed that 11 war TYiinictor hac at last assumed 11 ICU.V/ Tl Uiiio-ikj W-Vi ?., the offensive. But this is by no means certain, as the battle may have been forced upon him. Sofia dispatches indicate a continued forward movement of the Bulgarians. but give no details. There is still no confirmation of the reported cap' ture of Luleburgas, Demotica and Drama. j The Bulgarians still are fighting in j ' j the direction of Visa in pursuance of 1 their plan to advance to the extreme. g : east in the direction of Constantino- < pie. r I Greeks Continue Advance. < The Greeks also are marching, with ? victories to their credit, towards^ Sa- ( loniki, where a feeling of extreme anx' iety is said to prevail and provisions L | are running short. The fact that no . L apparent effort is being made to stem 5 the Greek advance to Saloniki is held L to indicate that the bulk of Turkey's army there has been transferred to i 1 Thrace. ; i No Tecent information has been received of the operations around Scut i . Ar /-?tv?or nnants to the west, and I LCL I 1 UI \s mv. ~ Sofia today observed a significant ei- i lence. Diplomatic activities continued in London. Premier Asquith had an aud. ience with the king today. No formal action has been taken . or is likely to be taken until the result f .of the great battle is known. ** - ^Tarried Saturday. 5 Greenville News. , Mr. J. W.

( An Unexpected Problem at Panama j A most curious question has arisen " i in connection with the locks at Gatun r j ' and Miraflores, which open on the sea ' level sections. When these locks are ' | filled to the next higher level the ad- 1 j ditional water comes from Gatun lake j * i or Miraflores lake. That is to say, the j | added water is fresh. A fair statement j ' would be that all the water in these I : locks when lull is iresn ironi cue sc??. j : level up. Suppose now that a ship has j < 1 j entered one of these locks with the j : purpose of descending to the sea and j that the gate to the rear has been closed. Suppose further, that commu- n | nication with the sea level section of 0 i the canal by means of the great 1SI foot discharge culvert and all subsidiary culverts has been opened up. Because of the hydrostatic head supplied i f ! -L? ,1. . a 1. [ t. I O}' tile Wai/Cl ill LUC | | ber a rapid discharge will begin. But j 6 j when will it cease? Undoubtedly it will \ ? i cease when the hydrostatic head out- j i | side and inside the lock chamber be- j ' come, in point of pressure equal. But! 6 ; since the water inside the chamber is j ! much less salt than outside, and, con-, I sequently, possesses a lower specific; : srravitv. the eaualization of pressure j J; I will occur when the.- water level inside n i j is higher than that outside. In other h | words, the flow will cease before the | levels are equalized. A difficulty would j ! then arise, it is conceived, in connec-1 11 tion with the opening of the gates?j~ ,; the pressure' being different on the two ! . j sides. It is held that by depressing the | j discharge culvert to a possible point! : j "the difference in pressure can be [! reduced to a manageable amount or t j even t > zero. The presence of tidal | effects must also be taken into account. | in? result 01 an mvetsugetuuu miu mc matter has been the recommendation to place the whole face; of the- dis] charge culverts in a horizontal plane J <:;;d lo locate them at tw.?nty-one feet below the sea level at Gatun and at i tw-nty-fivo feet belcw a Miraf lores.? .
