Happy new year greetings. At T.
your door to-night, (Tuesday,) cit
stands an old friend, ragged, torn,
leaving you forever. He has served yo
you for three hundred and sixty-six an
days. How have we served him? su]
Have we done the very best we could da
at all times; or have we just pulled
along in a matter-of-fact way? May
each reader of The Herald resolve to
make the year 1913 the best yet er<
spent. br<

1VSTERY ABOUT MAX'S DEATH.
qKUtanburg Man J)ies from His Injuries?Woman
Held as Witness.
Spartanburg, Dec. 28.?Was M. R.
Ldkins, the North Church street
narket man, assaulted Christmas eve
r early Christmas morning, or was
ie injured by falling out of Andy
'lark's hack? This is the problem
hat the police department is trying
o solve.
In connection with the mysterious
nanner in which Mr. Adkins sustaind
injuries which may result in his
ieath, as the attending physicians
ntertain little hope for his recovery,
rene Godfrey, a while woman, was
aken into custody by the police yeserday
as a material witness in the
ase, as it become known that she
vas in the hack with Mr. Adkins
Christmas eve. When questioned by
he police, she denied being in the
iQflr hut 1 ator nrtnm'ttpri that she was
rith Mr. Adkins, stating that he was
lerfectly well when he left her. She
aid that if he fell out of the hack
r was assaulted by any one, she did
lot know it.
Mr. Adkins was carried to the
Lome of J. Q. Davis by Andy Clark,
. hack driver, Christmas morning
.bout 4 o'clock. The man was in an
mconscious condition and failing to
egain consciousness, Mr. Davis called
in an ambulance and had the inured
man sent home. He has never
egained full consciousness. Once or
wice during Thursday he showed
artial signs of consciousness.,
Clark, the hackman, says that beore
he caried Mr. Adkins to Mr.
Davis's home on Wofford street, he
[rove him to H. G. Armfield's resi[ence,
on?Green street, and in getting
nto the hack he fell and injured his
lead. Mr. Armfield told the police
hat when Mr. Adkins left his home
hat he got into the hack as well as
tny man and he di.d not see him fall.
Lfter leaving the Armfield home Mr.
Adkins was carried to Mr. Davis's
louse and when he was lifted into
he house he is said to have been in
m unconscious condition.
It was reported on the streets that
Dlark and Mr. Adkins might have
lad a quarrel about the hack fare,
esulting in a fight, but when Clark
vas asked about this phase of the
luestion he said that he and Mr. Ad;ins
had not had the slightest
rouble about hack fare.

Springfield, Mass., Dec. 28.?The
lev. Dr. Conrad Hooker, pastor of
he First Methodist church of Westield,.
who was detained Monday by
he Springfield police for alleged
hoplifting and who was later releas.d
on payment of $20.50, will coninue
his duties as pastor, it is said.
Dr. Hooker's church has a mem>ership
of several hundred. The oficials
of the church assert that not
inly will Dr. Hooker's flock stand by
tim, but that the stores in which Dr.
-looker admitted he took articles
vill receive only scant patronage
rom members of the congregation. (
Resentment is expressed against the
Jpringfield police forf treating Dr.
looker "like a common thief."
Members of the church assert that
lalf a dozen powders taken to relieve
i headache became operative after
le reached Springfield. In the
rowded overheated stores they asert,
his mind became a blank and
hat he experienced an irresistible
mpulse to take articles which aptealed
to his fancy.
At the regular quarterly conference
of Dr. Hooker's church tomorow
night a vote of confidence in the
lastor and a request that he con
inue his work will be passed.
The Springfield police are "standng
pat" in the case. A plain clothes
nan stationed in a large department
tore says he Saw Dr. Hooker making
way with a toilet set and traced to
)r. Hooker, articles taken from two
ther stores.
