Will White, a young ne&ro lighed foP the purpose of training ' labored, \vho was sentenced to six ] years for grand larceny. The jail i doors and windows stand wide open today. Sheriff Macfie and his family also vacated the building, which now goes into the hands of John Ameen Brothers, the recent purchasers, who | bought the jail at the price of $15, 600. The old building will be torn down and several new modern brick stores arc to be erected on the lot, according to a recent statement given out by Ameen Brothers. Judge Memminger of Charleston has filed with the clerk of court of Charleston county an order decreeing that the Orphan Aid society of the Jenkins Negro Orphanage have judg ment against the Atlantic Savings Bank of Charleston "in the sum of $15,000 with interest thereon at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum from the date of the filing of tbe claim with the administrator." II. A. Due, according to the papers filed in the ( case, was a wealthy philanthropist, who took much interest in work hav- 1 ing to do with the uplift of the negro race. According to the papers, he ordered the Rev. D. J. Jenkins of the orphanage to establish a bakery, to be known as the "Poor Child Bread company." It is understood that this company or bakery was to be estab negro children in the art of bread making and distributing bread to tho negroes at cost. Mr. Due, however, according to the papers filed, would n<#t sign any agreement ti? finance the proposition, ordering Jenkins, however, to proceed. The building was erected, but the philanthropist died before payment was made and in his latest will to probated U-ft n<> provision for the payment of the $15, 000 expended on the structure. A claim against the estate Was filed by the Key. 1>. J. Jenkins, but when this was brought before the master in equity it was decided adversely to thu claimant. Exceptions were raised by counsel for Jenkins to the report of the master and the case was heard by Judge Memminger, who after due de*. liberation made his decree. The order is voluminous and contains many paragraphs of interest. In one in* stance, it states, "As a matter of common notoriety (though of course this is not taken into consideration by this court in reaching its conclusions) Jenkins, though not so notorious, has done more efficient service for his race than Booker Washington ever did; and would have better manners and form than to lunch with a presi dent." Among other things regard ing the work of . the Kev. Jl). J? Jenkins and the effectiveness of the Jenkins bands in collecting funds, it is pointed out that "he (Jenkins) has ?carried them over the world. Tkjs court itself has heard them in the Strand in London, and at the Champs Elysees in Paris, and it is said they have stood in the shadows of the pyramids, where Napoleon stood, and broke the silence of the 40 centuries, which were looking down with raw American syncopation." Dual Tragedy Near Spartanburg. . Spartanburg, June 27. ? Believed to have been driven insane by protracted ill health, Perry Thompson, 72, wealthy and well known farmer, re siding near Switzer, crushed the skull of- his wife, 65, with the butt of n shotgun after the load in the gun had been fired into the pillow upon which she slept without striking its target and then took his own life by slashing his throat with a pocket knife and hanging himself in the barn, where he staggered after hav ing gashed his throat. The double tragedy was enacted last night, Mrs. Thompson dying in the hospital in* Spartanburg this morning. "VOU can't always tell where the knock is from the seat," says the old-time Fleet Boss. "We traced this one back to the rear axle. There's a tooth chippe^ off and every time it passes the pinion you hear a knock up front. A differential or transmission gear that isn't hardened right will often shed a tooth, especially if you don't keep it well lubricated. Your motor isn't- the only place where oil or grease kills noise. And remember, noise usually means trouble." There are hundreds of car models and almost every one has a spot or two at which experience says to watch lubrication with particular care. You'll have less to watch if you stand ardize on "Standard" Polarine Motor oils and greases. Fifty four years of lubricating experience have made the "Standard" Polarine line the last word in quality. You can be sure of the finest lubrication all around ? at a very reasonable price? by insisting on "Standard" products. * STANDARD OIL COMPANY (New Jersey) Buy the best oil but buy it by name , and the name is " Standard " Polarine TAXES OFF YESTERDAY Man* Articles Wert Freed From Taxes By New ltuling. Washington, July 2.-- -The pubhc purse will heave another sigh of re lief at midnight tonight when further cuts in the nation's tax bill under the new revenue law becomes effective after the sixty- clay period stipulated from its enactment. The so-called nuisance taxes arc abolished entirely, while in the field of miscellaneous taxes material reductions take effect. Included among the old law assess ments which are eliminated out right are those on telegraph and telephone messages anil the stamp tax of two cents a hundred dollars on drafts, checks and promissory notes. The tax on theatre admissions of one cent 'for each ten cents charged is changed to apply only on admision in excess of fifty cents. The live per cent tax oil Jewelry articles, including musical instru ments so classed, will apply only on those exceeding $30 in value, and on watches only of a value in excess of $50. Although the. law levies a new tax of five per cent on automobile chassis and bodies and motorcycles and three per cent on truck or wagon chassis selling- """for more than $1,000 and bodies selling for more than $200, it compensates in a measure by cutting in half the five per cent tax on auto mobile parts and accessories. Another cut to become effective is that from two cents to one cent a hundred dollars in the stamp tax on sales of produce, boards of trade and similar trading marts. ? Among articles freed entirely of the tax levied under the old law are: Pleasure boats and canoes, candy, hunting and bowie knives, dirk knives, daggers, sword canes, stilet tos, brass and metallic knockles, smoking stands, liveries and livery boots and hats, hunting and shooting garments, riding* habits, yachts and uinotor boats not designed for trade, fishing ^r national defense, and X-ray films and plates.
