SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ^ Murphy Eicap?i From the Pen. News and Courier, Friday: D. C. Murphy and W. H. Collins, two life convicts, escaped from the penitentiary last night by means of an ingenious scheme. They were both in the same cell and they sawed away the hinges of their cell door, which is situated on the third tier of the prison building. After crawling along the corridor they let themselves down to the yard and in the shadow of buildings in the yard got to the wall next to the canal and escaped. Both are white men; Murphy being the convicted murderer of Treasurer Copes, in Orangeburg. Collins is a man sentenced for life for burglary . and compound .larceny in 1895, in PieVL ens county. The two men were employed in the hosiery mill, Collins being in charge of the yarn "district" in the mill, and Murphy being a hose inspector. The men have been confined in the old prison ward while the new ' building is being erected. They evidently concocted their scheme and secreted a small five-inch saw when they had the opportunity, as well a^ some products of the hosiery mill. The escape was discovered in the morning ^ and Superintendent Griffith immediately sent out armed mounted guards on each side of the river to capture them. Collins is a man of some intellect and he has a sense of humor and sarcasm which Is well shown by inscriptions left on the wall of the cell. One was: "In God we trust. God be with us 'till we meet again." Another is: "Out for South America. W. H. Collins, D. C. Murphy. Good-bye, for we are gone." On the wall where the door had been torn off was this: "God will deliver peace and good-will to all men." Murphy tried to escape once before: but was caught and closely watched. While in the penitentiary he pretended to be very ignorant; but after his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by Governor Ellerbe he got much more intelligent and has been a convict who has been generally watched. The then City Attorney Carroll, of Augusta, who believed honestly in Murphy's innocence, made a number of trips here and had more to do with the governor's % action tnan any other man. MlliUa at the Fair. Adjutant General Floyd has sent out the following to the captains of the various militia companies throughout the state: "Sir: Arrangements are now being perfected, to have during fair week in Columbia, a grand parade and review of the State volunteer troops by his excellency, the governor and his staff, and also for a competi* tive prize drill contest between infantry companies composing the state volunteer service. Both are to be held during the week of the state fair?the drill contest on Wednesday, October 31, and the parade review on Thursday, November 1. Six hundred dollars in money prizes will be awarded by competent judges to the three companies showing the greatest efficiency?3300 to the first: $200 to the second and $100 to the third. It is also contemplated offer ing a handsome silver souvenir, as an Individual prize, to the man showing the greatest proficiency of drill in the manual of arms. Tents will be pitched and camp made ready to receive the troops as soon as they arrive, and meals will be provided for the men while in camp free of charge. Therefore the only expense to be incurred by the companies is the railway fare to and from Columbia. I earnestly urge mat captains exert tnemseives to bring as nearly as possible the full strength of their commands?not only that they may reap the benefits of camp experience?but to swell the number and add to the appearance of the parade and review as well. Cavalry and artillery commands will be welcomed in the encampment and parade, though no prize drills can be arranged for those branches of the service this year. A squad of 21 men, rank and file, will be required from each company entering the prize drill contest. I desire to impres upon you the necessity of assembling your company at once, and advising me at the earliest possible moment whether you can and will bring your company, and also about what will be the strength, * rank and file. The time is short and immediate action and report to the adjutant general is very earnestly requested. Murder In Colombia. Columbia correspondence News and Courier: Howard Allen, a well-known young man who has for sometime been# engaged in 'sporting life," was tonight shot and killed by Ed Smith, a visiting and unknown "sport." Allen was ? a popular young man and lived here all his life. He was about 26 years of age, married, and leaves a wife and three small children. His father was a well-known engineer on the Columbia, Cheraw and Anderson railroad. When a lad Allen played baseball for the Mechanics and other teams here; generally he pitched. Later he was time-keeper at the Southern Railway, and two or three years ago he went into the "sporting" business, and was a manager or assistant in one of the gambling places here. He was a clever, open-handed and well mannered young man. He never drank or showed any bad habits, except that he made his living out of the card room; but he had the reputation of being a straight player, and would allow no underhand business about his place, and it was because of his ordering Smith to keep away from his place that he was killed. Smith has been in Columbia for some little time. He is of a rather florid complexion and wears eye-glasses. The story of the killing is that Allen met Smith at the door and told him that he was not wanted in the place, and to get away. They had some words # when Smith started down the steps. He called back at Allen and Allen said something to him. whereupon Smith fired on Allen. The bullet struck Allen in the stomach with deadly effect. Smith in turning around on the steps lost his balance and fell. He Jumped up and ran down the street without his hat, and. going down Plain street turned into Assembly and soon caught a hack. He made the hack . man take him. at the point of a pistol, and was going down Assembly street, when intercepted by Policeman Dowie. The police station had been advised of tne shooting, and telephone messages had been sent out to all the men to keep on the lookout for Smith, and when Policeman Dowie saw the hack coming at full tilt, he ordered it stop ped at the point of his pistol, and Smith surrendered and was taken to jail. He made no statement tonight. Allen lived for awhile. Dr.? Kendall and Dr. Gibbes were called in and did what little could be done, and Mrs. Allen was sent for and reached the scene just as tne young man was dying. In his dying statement Allen said " that he had been shot by Smith. When tne doctors came to him he was told that he could not live, and when told that he could not live he said that it was awful and spoke to his friend. Mr. Brooks Harley. and begged him to take care of his wife and family. Allen was conscious to the very last, and spoke to his friend. Mr. Harley. and when his wife came, spoke to her and told her that his end was near and embraced her. Mr. Harley in talking about the affair said that ne had received a letter several days ago warn? - ? *-l - ?~ I ? "* OmUU Cirmci on/1 r* _ lrig' mm aguiusi cuuui, cimn auu ??Elroy. It was stated that the three men were crooks, and were coming here to go into the policy business and to beware of them. The three went to the place together: but Smith was ahead of the others, and the encounter was between him and Allen Sims and McElroy being further down the stairs, and all of them were denied admission to the rooms. The mother of Allen was sent for; but arrived at the rooms after the death of her son. The police tonight arrested a young man named Langford. who is held to await developments and will be asked to quit the city. AT THE CHURCHES. BAPTIST. REV. J. B.

And You Will Be Sure 1 Your Nickle o dT TOLD you last week of one phase A of the credit buying system. This week I will show you how it is from the standpoints of the merchant who buys for Cash and the merchant who DCAL buys on Credit. The merchant who tiemist buys *or Cash goes to the Northern ila for market with a credit at his home bank sufficient to pay SPOT CASH for every dollar's worth of goods that his judg, ment dictates, gives a CHECK for the amount of his purchases right on the e best 8pot, taking advantage of the discount ? * * rr*TTT? nn mrv mr>xr nLiTi n"D\rm ^viuo. ui Hum ? r?in.iii?Lt iDii r re sell being thus placed In a position to sell RAN- his goods at just this much less; withbottle, out other considerations. Then, again, 3FAC- the wholesale houses don't want to sell alnlng goods on credit. They want cash. ONEY Why? Because when they get the cash they are in a position to take advan1 sold tage on the spot of any forced sale of manufacturer's goods, which they 0., cannot do on a credit basis, and this Ists. also tends to lessen the cost to the cash buying retailer and the cash buy ing consumer. Then again, the merchant who buys on credit, has to give satisfactory "papers" to the wholesaler, pay an interest of from five to eight per cent, on his 1)111, and a cerIC tain per cent, higher for the goods he IOi buys besides. These per centages all tend to make the cost to the consumlrning er higher. Besides the merchant canto re- not buy on credit, and sell at as low 8 that figures to the consumer as if he bought for cash. It is impossible. Then another phase of the Cash vs. >W. Credit System is this: A merchant cannot sell goods to the consumer who Seed- buys on credit at the same price that c your he can to the consumer who pays spot LOWS cash. Why? Simply because the mer)SIER chant who caters for the credit busibs. of ness and does a credit business, must id you have some security. He must have a , good mortgage on a mule, or a lien on a crop. Everything he sells must be at a \ATjO- certain per centage of profit higher solid than it would be if he sold for cash, it im- For instance a merchant sells $100,000 >r the worth of goods in a year on^'papers." ;ed of When fall comes, and bad crops have ments been made, he experiences trouble in it you making collections. Suppose he fails to collect $5,000 of his accounts. And also CO. finds it necessary to take in 25 or 30 mules on mortgages. The $5,000 he falls to collect is a dead loss unless he tacks it on in small per centages to the cash buyer. That makes his goods cost more. The cash buyer has to make good the losses on the credit buyer. Then again, that bunch of 25 or 30 AliK mules he has taken in. They will very all 11. likely have to be fed during the winter, and they won't live on "wlnd-puddin," although there may be a few in the bunch that are "wind-suckers."

The q cash buyer has to make this expense up. Isn't that so? The merchant cannot afford to lose it. The credit buyer also helps to make up these losses by q paying a higher price for the goods as they go. Again, it is Impossible to mix 2c a cash and credit business, because if you sell Mr. Swipes an article for cash Q you can sell it cheaper than you can sell the same article to Mr. Snipes on n credit. When Mr. Snipes finds out that the merchant has sold the article to f Mr. Swipes for less than he did to him, ot well, there is trouble for the merchant. , Do not be deluded into the plan that da was prevalent here a few years ago of buying on credit. Buy for cash. It is Nl the safest and best plan. Credit buying tends to extravagance; extravagance n,( tends to ruin. Cash buying tends to c< economy; economy tends to success.
