Tiner, formerly president of SM^ the Law and Order League, of Pacolet, went to Columbia last Friday and surrendered himself to the su-; perintendent of the State penitenti-1 ; It appears that instead of making j an appeal to the State supreme court j {g|J from the verdict and sentence of the ^ lower court, he will begin to serve ?3^ sentence with the hope that some Sp- time he will receive executive clemlpt.V; ency. He was convicted of man: slaughter, having been tried in January for the killing of Ed Kirby, at Pacolet station, on the morning of ?j|?,v November 20, last. Tiner's plea was self-defense. He fc- seems to have stood well in the com -L ma- 1 munity, ior Mr. victor m. jyiumgumery, president of the mill, and one of the most prominent mill managers in the South, made a plea to Gov. Ansel in Tiner's behalf. In fact, the petition for pardon was presented i"V some time ago, but Gov. Ansel declined to give it any consideration at - alf, as the defendant had not surrendered himself to the prison auKj thorities. A special to The State from Spartanburg says that "Hon. Stanyarne Wilson, who represented Tiner, said to-night that the effort to secure pardon had not been abandoned, and he hoped for favorable action on the part of the governor in a few pp days." p INDIANS GOOD FARMERS. pc*; Up in Saskatchewan they are Industrious and Prosperous. The Indians of the great Canadian prairie province of Shaskatchewan ' are disproving the theory that the Indian won't work unless he has to. They are becoming not only industri4 nrAonOrAn C? UUO UUl piVO^/ViVUO. There are nearly 8,000 Indians in the province, and last year they had about 9,000 acres under crops. They raised 150,572 bushels of grain and roots and 36,000 tons of hay, all of a value of $136,023. The department of Indian affairs reports that the Indians are turning more and more to the soil for a living. The agent of the Assiniboine agency, which may be regarded as typical, writes: "I was greatly pleased to find that the area under crop was almost double what it was the year before. The band had about 600 acres of wheat and 200 acres of oats. The Indians of this agency are beginning to farm on a large scale, and if they continue to do as well as they have in the past two years, there will be some good sized farmers among them. One man had 155 acres in crop and another 125 acres, and several had 75 ? acres each. There was a decided improvement in the way the land had been farmed." \ I fciv-V.; . ; Foil : have the goods. 1 lollar saved is a do "stung," for good > 7| Shoes for Me .?

B RUCKSTUHL SELECTED. To Make Monument to Women of Confederacy. J The woman's monument commission, recently appointed by Gov. Ansel in conformity with an act of the legislature, met in the governor's office and was in session for three hours. The commission is composed of Capt. J. G. Richards, Jr., of Kershaw, Gen. C. Irvine Walker, of Charleston, Capt. C. A. Reed, of Anderson, Col. T. J. Moore, of Spartanburg, and Capt. Wm. E. Gonzales, of Columbia. Gen. Walker was eleoted chairman and Capt. Gonzales secretary and treasurer. Several letters were read from Daughters of the Confederacy sugegsting other forms of memorial than a monument, but the commission is of course powerless to deviate from the act of the legislature, which specifies a monument "with a granite base" and with inscriptions. Upon motion of Mr. Richards, the * 3 J r.

A resolution was also adopted expressing the thanks of the commission to The State and to the press of South Carolina generally for the work in behalf of the fund that has been done and urging continued activity by the newspapers in this cause. The matter of the selection of an artist was considered very thoroughly, the debate on this point occupying the greater part of the long session. The commission finally determined that it could not do better than to elect the same sculptor who had performed such admirable service to the people of South Carolina in the production of the Hampton equestrian statue, and the mar' * - ?-1-- x ?? vrrVtisilt 4a fn cm 019 5leiIU9 U1 l/aiuuuu, nwi/u ID W 0-~in Statuary hall in Washington, and the model for which has recently been accepted by the Calhoun monument commission. Mr. F.

It is probable that Mr. Ruckstuhl will have a conference with the committee about the middle of May. He will leave in June for Italy to complete the work on the Calhoun statue.?Columbia State. | "I'd Rather Die, Doctor than have my feet cut off," said M. L.

Traveler Explains How the Troubles of Missionaries Arose. Consul General Wheatley, of the Congo Free State, who was seen at the New Willard by a Washington Herald reporter, spoke in regard to the reported request made of Secretary Bacon by a representative of the Southern Presbyterian church that an investigation be made into the circumstances of the trial of certain American missionaries in the Congo Free State for libel, in connection witn meir rtjyona ui mc tuuumuu of .the natives, and said: "The trouble seems to have arisen from the fact that certain Protestant missionaries in the Congo, who apparently have little sympathy with the Belgians, have wanted to run the country according to their own ideas, and have used indiscreet language about Belgian officers who disagreed with them. "According to the accounts which we have from trustworthy sources in the Congo, Count Ferdinand de Grunne, who is a young man of high reputation, and a member of one of the best families in Belgium, found it his duty, for the maintenance of public order to compel certain natives who were loafing about the American Presbyterian mission at Luebo to return to the- tribes to which they belonged?just as the American government compels the Indians to stay on their reservations. For this action some of the American missionaries seem to have called him names, and brought charges for cruelty, and even of slaveraiding, against him. It seems that the Rev. Mr. Morrison, of the American Presbyterian mission, was the chief person with whom Count de Grunne had disputations. The Count de Grunne brought suit for libel." Killed by Falling Timber. Wilmington, N. C., April 5.?E. M. Gregg, a well known merchandise broker, while talking to a friend on the street here this morning, was caught under a collapsing pile of brick and building material on the site of the new Woolvin building, near Third and Princess streets, and instantly killed. The accident occurred as Mr. Gregg was on his way down to business and stopped for a talk with Mr. John Hand at the Woolvin building. Mr. Gregg was standing with his back to the pile of debris whem for some unknown reason, it gave way and came crashing down. Mr. Hand jerked his associate to one side, but was too late. A heavy window frame on top of the brick struck Mr. Gregg on the back of the head, killing him instantly. Mr. Gregg was about 55 years old and belongs to a leading South Carolina family. He leaves a wife and one little daughter. - ... .. i :s Up ave you money. T sell you and we gi a fact.

John Ackerman, who lives near Livingston, N. J., has a horse that is as skilful at punching the bag as any amateur or professional boxer. Sam, the bagpunching horse, is a 5-year-old bay, with a distinguishing white star between his eyes. Two months ago Ackerman's son, George, inspired with a desire to develop his muscles, purchased a punching bag and set it up in the barn. It was placed so it hung diretly in the path of the horses as they entered and left the place. Three of the four horses paid little attention to the leather sphere suspended from the ceiling, but the first time that Sam bumped into it he was aroused to a fighting temper which prompted him to snap at it with his teeth. Gradually the horse learned to play with the bag as he passed in and out of the stall, and soon he was able to bang it so hard that it flew back and forward several times with one sharp blow from the animal's nose. Young Ackerman then started the training of Sam, and in a few weeks the horse developed remarkable skill at punching the bag. So far he uses only his nose to keep the bag going, but young Ackerman, delighted with his success as a trainer, expects to educate the animal to use his forefeet as well. The horse enters into the game with great enthusiasm, and with flashing eyes and arched neck he is a picture of grace as he keeps the bag humming for ten minutes at a stretch.?New York Press. Trouble With Indians. There has been a good deal of excitement throughout Oklahoma during the past ten days, because of an Indian war that has been in progress there. The trouble commenced with the Creeks, under the leadership of an old chief named Crazy Snake. He took out a band of full bloods, half breeds and negroes, declaring that he would fight for his rights. The Indians have never been reconciled to the allotment of their lands in severalty and do not like to pay the taxes required by civilization. Two deputies named Odom and Barm were killed by the Indians, and also a negro named Barnett. There were reports of the killing of a large number of Indians by a sheriff's posse and the militia, but this has not materialized. Under pressure of quite a force sent against him, Crazy Snake has surrendered. Up Before the Bar. N. H.

E DO NOT CARET SHODI EtE KNOWN AS "THE MC ? SOI1* TIGERS IN CHARLESTON. i Dispensary Auditor West Reports to Governor. Columbia, April 1.?Dispensary Auditor West last night made bis report to Gov. Ansel of his investigation into the Charleston beer scandal, revealing that the Charleston board is admittedly impotent to control the situation in the face of the tiger situation. He finds that while the sale of beer in Charleston, outside the tigers amounted last year to $245,386.15, the net profits to the county board was $28,396.16. Although Richland county with sales of $91,073.33 got a net profit of $23,159.19; and although beer was sold in the latter county $.1 cheaper per cask and Charleston had a big advantage in water freight rates. Briefly stated the report reveals that the tiger and beer people in Charleston are holding the board up for $50,000 to $75,000 a year in profits, the board being afraid to tighten the lines for fear that what little business it has will be taken away. Eighty per cent, of the public are now buying from the tigers. In its method of dealing through the beer establishment the reports says the board is violating the law and that the Robert L. Graham beer concern is also violating the law. Fine Setter Dog. 4 You have heard about foxes raising litters of rabbits and cats acting the mother to little mice," drawled the unvarnihed nature faker as he helped himself to a slice of cheese, "but, gentlemen, I have one that beats these yarns all to a frazzle. When I was living in the next State I had an old dog that scared the hen off her nest and hatched out a brood of chicks." "Come off Judson!" chorused the four and twenty loungers sitting on the barrels. "It's a fact as I told it. Before that setting incident in the hen house that old dog wasn't worth a dollar, hut after that I sold her to a drummer for $50 down." The loungers gasped. "You did?" "Yes, I told him it was the finest setter dog in the country."?Chicago Daily News. Words to Freeze the Soul. I "Your son has consumption. His [case is hopeless."
