1 PUBLISHED TRI-WEEKU5 GIVES HIS PLAN Gtfernoi Wilson Ts?b th Way to Reg ?late Lawlessness of Frosts is to PUT ONE DUMMY IN JAIL Thereafter, He Says, There Will Be No More Irresponsible Dam my Directors to Hire Out to the Large Corporations and Trusts That Prey Upon the People. George E. filler, special cor respondent of the Detriot News, in a letter to his paper from Sea Girt, N. J., the summer capital of ; that state, says if Gov. Woodrow "Wil son becomes President of the Unit 3d States,' his message on the sub ject of trust busting will go to con gress with the decisive emphasis of f: the rifle shots which echo through his library from the range as you sit in conversation with him in the State Executive's summer home here. They will if the Governor retains the opinions he now holds on the illegal things done by the people characterized by Mr. Roose velt as malefactors of great wealth. Gov. Wilson is no hopeless despond ent. He disagrees utterly with those who believe the law cannot be made to reach such as seek to adjust the business machinery of this country so that all the wealth will fall into a few hoppers. His ideas are sharp ly defined and his plans simplicity Itself. He would send violators of the law to jail. That is the whole of. the antidote he prescribes. Fines, he says, place too much burden of the punishment upon the innocent. And he scoffs at the idea that the guilty cannot be detected and convicted. It will be seen that Gov. Wilson's plan, quoted below, for trust busting dif fers very radically from the blus ter and do nothing plan of Taft and Republicans 'generally, but agrees with Bryan's plans. Here is Gov. Wilson's plan as outlined to the correspondent: "The managers of corporations themselves always know the men who originated the acts changed against them as done in contraven tion of the law; is there no means by which their names may be dis closed to the officers of justice? Every' act, every policy, hit the con duct of the affairs of a corporation, originates with some particular of ficer, committee or board. The of ficer, the committee, the board, or dering an act, or originating a pol icy, contrary to the law, or intended to neutralize or contravene it, is a serious offender against society and muse be punished if our insti tutions are to Etand. It is neither sensible or affecv the to attempt to punish the vcr poration. We do not indict the gun, tut the man behind the gun. * Jt is a fatuous and unnecessary fiction to treat a corporation as in all respects a legal person. To control such of its acts as are against public policy, we must cease to deal with it by means of the law as if it were only a single individual, a responsible individual, and must bandle it for what it is?an artificial agency. You cannot punish a corporation. Fines fall upon the wrong persons. Fines fall opon the wrong persons, and more hea vily upon the Innocent than the guilty. Those who know nothing whatever of the offense for which the fine is inflicted must pay as well as those who originated and carried through the illegal act. So the real punishment falls upon Tie stockholders and the customers. "If you will but put one or two conspicuous dummies into the peni tentiary, there will be no more dum mies for hire. You can stop the traf fic in dummies, and then, when the idea has taken root In the corporate mind that dummies will be confis cated, the custom of the business will change. Modern business enter prise make (the corporations indis pensable. None of us, I take it, has any quarrel with business success, but all of us ought to have an irre cincilable quarrel with business law lessness. As I told the lawyers of the American Bar Association in an address last year, corporations do not do wrong. Individuals do wrong. When we stop thai wrong doing we have taken from the corporation all the power of evil of which the people so justly corn-! plain." * Beaten Almost to Death. At Louisville, Ky., a negro was so badly beaten by a mob tonight that his recovery is doubtful. The black had attacked a -fr-year-old girl, and when she released herself he grab bed another, ajed 14. Her cries for help brought her mother, who, too, was beaten by the negro. Infuriated by the cries of the two girls and the woman, the mob was restrained from killing the black only by the police.

Woman Deserts Her Husband at Jacksonville and Marlies Another Man at Hendersoztville. Finding that his bride of only a few days was not a iivorced woman and that she had deceived him into marrying her, young B. C. Howard, a prescription clerk in the local drug store at Hendersonville, N. C, was placed in a very peculiar predica ment when the first husband, W. V. Henry, of Jacksonville, arrived in Hendersonville in search of his wan dering wife. A bit of romance in attached to the affair in spite of the evil wrought and the young man is not so mucfi to blame as it looks. Several months ago, about 'he first of the summer season Mrs. Annie L. Henry as she called herself, went to Hen dersonville for a visit. Young Howard, who is said to be from a well-to-do family in the east ern part of this state, met Mrs, Hen ry and a close friendship resulted. Later in the summer .Mrs. Henry", admitting she was married at that time, stated to young Howard that she would return to Jacksonville and seek a divorce from her hus4 band. Last Tuesday Mrs. Henry returned to the city and informed the youth ful lover that all was well, that she had succeeded in getting a divorce, and that their future happiness would be shadowed no longer. Young Howard proceeded to get out license papers and summoned a. local magis trate who before several prominent local witnesses, performed the cere mony. All went well until last Sunday morning, W. V. Henry, the f'rst hus band, arrived in the city and regis tered at the same hotel in which his wife and her new husband were boarding. Mr. Henry at first would not believe that his wife had marri ed another, hut when shown the papers he was convinced. Realizing that his wife had chang ed her love for another, Henry de cided that with the exchange of all the valuables each had given the other he would not push the mat< ter, but would leave his wife in the hands of one who, though at first deceived, was now willing to take the consequences of the blunder he had made. Mr. and Mrs. Howard loft the city last Monday for parts unknown and Mr. Henry returned to Jackson ville. THOUSANDS DIE OF STARVATION China Sorely Beset by Famine as Well as Disease. I News was brought by the steamer Empress of Japan that thousands are dying of starvation in Kiang Su, along the Yang Tse, following the floods, and the situation was expecb ed to augment gre?:.tly the spread of the rebellion in China. The whole of the country was un der water, according to refugees. Corpses were floating everywhere and famine stricken refugees were dying daily from diseases. In places the Yan.. Tse was thirs ty-five miles broad and floating bod ies, on which starving dogs were feeding, were seen in numbers. A captain of one of the rivet boats tells of seeing a number of multilated corpses in uniform, in dicating the fate of some Imperial soldiers at the hands of the starv I ing peasantry. Between 60,000 and 70,000 refu gees, probably from Anhul, were gathered at Nankiang. Cholera was raging among them and typhus was said to be equally bad, .beside other forms of pestilence. The death rate was reported to be between 200 and 300 a day. Food has been sent to them, but it was almost impossible for medical aid to effect any relief. BALLOONISTS FATAL PLUNGE. Parachute Fails to Work and He Falls 700 Feet. While engaged in a balloon race at the South Georgia Exposition at Tifton, Ga., Thursday afternoon, Capt. John Broder fell 7 00 feet from his balloon and was instantly killed.

Both balloons as cended perfectly, a few yards apart, for a distance of S00 to 1,000 feet, when the signal for :hem to cut i '.oose was fired. Broder dropped slightly in advance of his fellow bal loonist but in some unknown man ner his parachute failed to fill and he plunged to earth like a shot.

SHOT FINALLY BY RUSE A Member of the Tenth Cavalry, Col ored, at Fort Ethan Allen Mur ders Comrade und Defenseless Girl, Then Mortally Wounds an other Negress. He Runs on Ram page. Tre people of Burlington, Ver mont, near which place is located Fort Ethan Allen, have about got their full of negro soldiers. Recently Thos. Carlisle, a trooper of the Tenth Cavalry, which is composed of color ed men, except the officers, came out of his quarters of the fore, where the regiment is stationed, with a rifle and his .belt filled with amir nition, and proceeded to shoo' up several people, all of whom were like himself* negroes. He was a big, vicious, bad looking fellow. Before he himself was brought down by a bullet from a rifle in the hands of Lieut. Blaine, a white of ficer of the Tenth, Carlisle in his homicidal fury had killed Andrew C. Fox, a comrade in the regiment; had murdered a young negress named Clara Washington, coming upon her as she lay ill in bed and sending three bullets tearing into her body while she was in the act of scream ing for mercy, and had mortally wounded another colored girl named Beatrice Stewart. Against Fox he had a grievance, but against the woman none at all; he merely came upon them in his flight after the slaying of his fellow soldiers. He had run into a negro re sort, known as Bluefort's restaurant, and rushed through the rooms seek ing to shoot to death all whom he had found there. Other women In the house ran screaming out into the roads and sought the shelter of near by woods. He had left Beatrice Stew art for dead. Mortally wounded, as the girl was she staggered and floundered and crawled after the other women un til one or two, more courageous than the rest made a dash for her and drew her with them in the shelter of the underbrush and trees. Then Carlisle found himself facing a fight with a corps of thirty armed soldiers. Standing in a second-story window of the Bluefort resort he fought them furiously. Bullets smashed the pane ot glass over his head and tore away the sashinig. He returned he fire as fast as he could pull the trigger of his riffe. In the end he fell victim to a ruse devised and executed by Capt. God son and Lieut. Blaine. He was shot in the hip by Blaine and sank help lessly to the floor of the room. Brought to his senses by the shock of the wound, he signalled his will ingness to surrender. Fox, the mur dered soldier, is understood to have caused Carlisle's arrest for a slight infraction of discipline. The man had simply been remanded to quarters for the day. His rifle and ammuni tion had not ueen taken from him. Fox had no chance for his life. The top of theman's skull was complete ly carried away by the high-powered bullet. A group of soldiers rushed toward Carlisle .But they, like Fox, were unarmed. And he turned on them, his rifle on his shoulder. The maniacal expression of his eye halt ed every man of them. Without a word he turned suddenly and ran down the road, off the military reservation and into the restaurant resort. The dining room and bar were empty at the time. So he tramped up stairs. He put his shoulder to the door of the first room he came to and sent it flying backward. There he confronted the sick woman, Clara Washington. She screamed and ask ed him wha he meant to do. His ans wer was to shoot her in the breast and head and thigh, killing her. He heard after that the voice of women who had just come in downstairs. He leaped down the stairway, swept in on the women, shot Beatrice Stew art and grinned when he saw her fall. As he stood watching the woman writhing on the floor he heard the sound of approaching horses and the tramp of men. He ran upstairs and took his place at a corner win dow, and as the company of soldiers, under command of Capt. Godson and Lieut. Blaine, approached he met them with every bullett that remain ed in tho magazine of his rifle. A i volley came back at him, but, al though it splintered the glass and woodwork of the window he was unhurt. Then strategy was used against him. Capt. Godson drew his men off at a distance in front of the house, taking so open a position as to in vite Carlisle's fire. It nearly proved a fatal ruse for the Captain, for one of the negroe's bullets sent the offi cer's horse to its knees, and Godson had just time to leap free of the an imal as it kicked and writhed in its dying agony. Then while Carlisle's attention was attracted to the men in front of him Lieut. Blaine, armed with a riffe, had made a detour into the woods and approached the house on the right side and shot as he looked out JRG, S. C, TUESDAY, QCTOI COOKED AND EATEN THE CANNIBALS CAUGHT AND DEVOURED PEOPLE. Rev. Frederick Daniels, a Mission ary, and Others White, Victims of the South Sea Islands. A cablegram from Sydney, N. S. W., says that news has just been received of the murder of several Europeans in tha South Sea Islands, some of the victims .being cooked and eaten by the murderers. The Rev. Frederick Daniels, the Queensland missionery killed in the Solomon Islands, was ^conducting a Sunday service in the open air when suddenly a shot was fired " by a native who was concealed in the scrub. The bullet struck the mis sionary in the breast. He fell back wards, murmured, "Lord, save me," and then died. It is supposed that Mr. Daniels was shot because he was a mission1 ary. "The natives," says an officer of the mission, take a pride in get ting scalps, so to speak, and the murder of a white man is a special glory. Mr. Daniels is the first white missionary to be killed in the Sol omon Islands. From New Caledonia comes an account of the butchering of a family of three, father, mother, and child. The name of the victims was devaux. There is no clue to the perpetrators of the crime. The bod ies had been treated with great brutality. The French warship Korsalnt has brought news to Sydney of an out rage at >Maewo, one of the north ern islands of the New Hebrides group, two French residents, named Gerlin ad Baleu, having been killed by natives and afterwards eaten. ELECTS A NEW MAYOR. Blackville Has An Exciting' Election Over Booze. A special dispatch from Blackville to "The State says the municipal election there Monday, which result ed in the selection of A. B. Hair as mayor, afforded enough excitement to last for a long time. The whiskey question played an important part, and the town was worked up. The prohjbitionists put out" a ticket headed by Charles Wil son, but another ticket was later brought out which was also headed by Mr. Wilsora. Then the prohibition ists demanded that he repudiate the use of his name in connection with the last ticket, and a misunderstand ing arose which resulted in the pro hibitionists taking Mr. Wilson's name off their ticket, and substituting that of A. B. Hair. Interest was at fever heat, and personal difficulties were narrowly averted. However, the election pass ed off without trouble, and the pro hibition ticket won. The women of the to.vm held prayer meetings on election day, praying for the success of the "dry" ticket. This was said to be a crucial test for Blackville In the matter\f enforcing the law against the illegal sale of whiskey, and the mayor aind council elected are determined on this course.

THE WICKED TAX That Is What M?ckle Calls the fligh Tariff Duty on Sogars. BE TURNS THE LIGHT ON The Big Sugar Refiner and Coffee Dealer Says the Government is Robbing the Public, So Tliat the Sugar Men May Pile Up Millions of Dollars. Just before sailing for Europe from New York the other day John Arbuckle, the sugar refiner and cof fee manufacturer, Issued a state ment strongly attacking the tariff on raw sugar, declaring it to be a "wicked tax," for the benefit of the beet sugar interests. In his state ment Mr. Arbuckle said: "I have not been well, and am going abroad to rest and recuperate in preparation for the fight to be made in congress at its next session for free sugar. I propose to devote all my time and all my ability and all my strength to the abolition of all import duties'on raw sugar, a most wicked tax on a food necessity Ot all our people. It taxes the man who works for a wage of a dollar a day as much as it taxes an Astor or or Mr. Morgan or Mr. Reckefeiler. Each eats, or at least, needs, the same amount of sugar, and they pay; not according to their ability, but according to their needs, reversing an elemental rule of taxation. "Just look at these figures show ing how the prices of refined sugar to the consumer is made up. I dis charged the abnormal price lately, prevailing for the raw product and take a normal price. "Price paid by Nsw York refiners for raw sugar, 2.4 cents. "Duty per pound, 1.685 cents. "With the raw sugar costing the refiner 4,085 cents, his price to wholesale grocers for granulated sugar is about 4.90 cents per pound, and the wholesale grocers net price to New York retail grocers per pound is about 4.95 cents, and this retail grocers' prices to consumers was be tween 5.15 and 2.25 cents per pound So that for every pound of sugar going into a household in New York City at 5.25 cents per pound the gov ernment of the United States has ex acted 1.685 cents or almost the third of a total price. It means that every household that row buys three and a half pounds of sugar could for the same money buy five and one-quarter pounds il! this tax were removed. "If as someone has said, sugar is the comfort of old age ani the de light of youth, your Uncle Sam is en gaged in taking candies from chil dren, the height of meanness. The duty on raw sugar is 78 per cent of Its value. "You will be surprised to compare this import duty with others: I Sugar, per cent. 7S.S7 I Campagne, per cent .70.00 j Automobiles, per cent.40.00 Furs, per cent.i.50.00 : Diamonds, per cent.10.00 Pearls, per cent . 20.00! "The duty which the Unied States exacts on the importation of raw sugar holds up the price of the beet sugar, as well as the cane sugar for the gentlemen who are manufact uring beet sugar exact from the puly lic every penny they can get. "The beet companies have stated, as I am informed, that they can pro duce bet sugar at from 2 1-2 to 3 cens per pound. They sell at from 5 to 7 cents. The beet sugar peo ple use the tariff to exact the utter most penny for their product. "Everywhere the beet sugar man ufacturer takes full advantage of the tariff tax and it results that the peo ple of the United States pay the tax to the government on the cane su gar and the beet sugar barons on the beet sugar. The saving to the American people on the sugar con sumed lasty ear if the tax were re moved would amount to almost $150 000,000." MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH. Little Girl is Crushed to Death in a Water Mill. I A dispatch from Landrwn to The ?;nte Says that commuuit* was shocked Wednesday night when the news of the accidental death of Ella Bishop, the ten-year-old daughter of William Bishop, was received.

Governor Bieose Refused to Reduce the Sentence and the Appeal Was Then Made. A dispatch to The State from An derson says a telegram was received there Thursday from Governor Blease brought the intelligence that he will not interfere in the Samuel Hyde case. The telegram came to Leon L. Rice, who was appointed by the court to defend Hyde, and who formulated the petitions which were freely sign ed, asking the governor to commute the death sentence to life imprison ment. A counter petition was circu lated by Mrs. W. V. Beasley, mother and wife of Hyde's victims, in the Orr mill village, where the double crime was committed. This petition was signed by several hundred per sons. Hyde killed his wife aind her fa ther on the night of July 18, was convicted of the murder of the form er at a recent term of court, and was sentenced to hang Friday, October 20. Hyde will not hang on this day; however, as Attorney Rice has al ready served (notice on Solicitor Bon 1 am of an appeal to the Supreme court. The appeal will hardly he heard by that tribunal until next January, and it is likely that a de cision will not be handed down until too late for the prisoner to ,be re sentenced at the January term of court be sustained. In that event, and if the lower court's judgment is affirmed, Hyde will be resentenced next May. Hyde sent for Attorney Rice and stated that he understood the gover nor 'had stated he would not inter fere with the death sentence. Hyde said he was ready to die, and. that he was willing to let the matter stand as it is and go to the gallows on the day set. .Mr. Rice told Hyde that he had determined to make as -good a fight for him as he would for a wealthy client; that the court had appointed him to conduct this case and although Hyde and his family have no money to pay the expense of the appeal he intended to carry the appeal up. Hyde then stated that he was willing to do what the attorney thought best to do in the matter; that he was willing for the appeal to be perfected, or he is willing for the execution to ta.ke place next Friday. WAS KILLED BY TRAIN. Body of Unknown Man Found On Seaboard Track. A dispatch from Greenwood says the body of an unknown man who had been ground to death by a train on the Seaboard Air Line was found Friday near iSalak, three miles west of town by a gang of railroad labor ers. The body had rolled down an embankment after being run over by the train and was hidden from view by vines and bushes. From all indi cations the' man had been dead at least ten days. The body was horribly multilated arid the examining physician, Dr. J. B. Owens, could n^jt be positive as to color. From the haTr he judged it to be a white man. A piece of paper, a bill for coods sold, had the name "W. E. Hosty" on it, and this so far is the only clue upon which to go upon to establish the unfortunate's identity. Coroner rihadrack empannelled a jury of inquest this afternoon but the jury could do very little other then find a verdict that the unknown man came to his death by being run over by a train. Who the man Is or when the fatal accident happened will likely remain a mystery. The clothing was of an ordinary qual ity, rather cheap, and appeared to have seen considerable wear.
