IF ^ BABY BREAKS ITS OWN NECK. | I Infant of Graniteville Parents Meets Fearful Death. j Aiken, April 25.?Information has reached this city of the harrowing death of an infant in Graniteville last night, when the little. 6-months'old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Howard had the misfortune to have its neck broken. Last night, in the early part of the evening, while Mr. Howard was in Aiken, Mrs. Howard placed her baby on a bed to sleep. The bed was an iron one, with perpendicular rods at the head and foot. Mrs. Howard stepped out of the house for two or three minutes, and during her absence, in some way the little child got its head between the norTM>nriinnlfl.r rods, and when Mrs. Howard returned to the house she found her baby with its body dangling from the bed, and its head fastened between the rods. It survived a few minutes after she rescued it from its position, but its neck had . been broken in its attempts to free - its head from the bed. Mrs. Howard wasx almost prostrated with grief. Mr. Howard arrived a few minutes later from Aiken. Mr. Howard is a brother of Chief Henry Howard, of the Aiken police force. Unknown Negro Killed. Florence, April 24.?Train No. 79, running between Fayetteville and Florence, killed an unknown negro ? < this morning just beyond the transfer station of the Atlantic Coast Line. It seems that the negro was aaleep on the track with his head across one of the rails when the engine struck ' him. In the absence of the coroner, Magistrate C. S. McClenagahan held the inquest, and after viewing the body the jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death from his own carelessness. Hardee ville Man Drowned. Savannah, Ga., April 22.?Earle Lanier Wayne, of Hardeeville, S. C.J son-in-law of Capt. W. W. Starr, of Savannah, and well known here, was drowned in Isle of Hope river, near here this afternoon when the boat from which he was fishing was capsized. His body has been recovered. A young boy who was with him swam to the marshes and was saved. Mrs. Wayne, his wife of less than two years, was waiting for her husband on the river bank and the announcement that he would not come back caused her almost complete collapse. fv - \ V".'

Ain't it awful??Greenwood Index. To Register Lies. i One of the latest electrical devices is designed to register emotions, and incidentally to tell when a man is lying. The idea is that the instrument is placed in contact with the pulsation of the heart, say of a witness on the stand, and when the witness tells an unusually big lie, the emotion or fear of detection exciting the pulsation register in large disturbed lines on the instrument. If this is not a correct statement of the working of the instrument, some one else may give a better one. It is said that the instrument is not yet perfect. We hope it may never be, and furthermore if it should be, that no agency be established in this town. It is not that we lie without occasion and out of malice, but we would not be deprived of the constitutional privilege. It would be manifestly unfair to expose the conscience to public gaze. We are like the old lady who visited a sleight of hand performance and insisted on leaving because as she said: "her calico wasn't no protection agin that man's eyes."

Is Opposed to Breaking of the Solid CI XU guuuji New York, April 2 2.-^-Senator Benjamin R. Tillmaii talked on the Taft policy of breaking up the solid South to-night before a dinner of the South Carolinians at the Hotel Knickerbocker. Senator Tillman does not approve of it and he said so without making much ado over 1 it. "I'm not the sort," said he, "that likes to throw bouquets at anybody. I'd rather throw rocks instead." Then he got to it. "There is one thing At.i. _ i-J J IM. mat, is oil my iuiuu, aiiu it euiya iucic most of the time. It boils up once in a while and when I'm called on to make a speech, why, it just naturally comes to the surface. I mean the problem, the South's problem, the problem of the Sphinx. "Why is -the South solid? Why does it always vote the Democratic ticket? We are in the minority. Why should the other fellow be com- 1 ing along now and try to bamboozle us and lead us off after false gods after all these years? Why the Democratic ticket?the Democratic ticket in this day and time? Why do I vote for the Democracy? Because I'm a white man. That's why. "Taft thinks seriously and earnestly that it would be good to have the South split up. It would be a great thing for the Republican grab i game in Washington. He says the : election laws that the Southern States have passed have made us free of this black peril, and that it would be well for us to get some of the goods that comes from being uiemuerB ui tutj uuu.uua.iii pany.'

John Hill Seriously Wounded in Higgins Ferry Section. Saluda, April 21.?News has been received here of an attempt at assassination of a negro, John HilL who lives on Mr. W. E. Long's place in the Higgins Ferry section of the county. The negro is badly and perhaps fatally shot. About 8 o'clock Tuesday nignt young uiauae Long heard a gunshot, hut no especial attention was paid to it. It developed this morning that it was this shot that wounded the negro, John Hill, who lived in a small house on the place by himself and that all night long he had suffered and lost blood 'on the floor of his home and that no one heard his cries for help. He is shot in the head. All that he recalls of the incident is that some one called to him to open the door. As he did so he says he was clubbed. An examination of the wounds shows that he is mistaken in this as the only wounds are those of a gunshot. The theory is that when he opened the door the party from the outside fired upon him. There is a party suspected, but no arrest has been made. Injunctions Against "Tigers." Charleston, April 22.?Five injunctions were received here and Berved to-day by the constables upon alleged blind tigers and owners of premises. The injunctions, with probably one exception, were against parties who are less prominent ur uw torious in the business. The injunctions have been expected for some days. The receipt and service of papers in contempt proceedings against blind tigers who have been already enjoined but who are violating the order are now expected. Floyd's Nomination Confirmed. Washington, April 23.?William M. Floyd, in the vernacular called "Mart," is happy. The senate of the United States in executive session sitting to-day formally, unequivocally and unanimously confirmed him as postmaster of Spartanburg, which he had rather be, he says, than "king of England." His commission dates from to-day. He will return to Spartanburg forthwith and make formal announcement- of the policies of his administration. / :ry S kTEFUL FOR THEIR KIN! FINEST GROCERY SHOP D.

Hemphill, editor of The News and Courier, was in Washington to-day on his way home from New York. He made a call at the White House and was cordially received by the President. When Mr. Hemphill reached the executive offices, just before noon, much of the available space was occupied by delegates to the D. A. R. convention, but in a few minutes the South Carolina editor got to see Secretary Carpenter. When the president heard that Mr. Hemphill was there he had him taken in immediately, ~ ^ v./-,,-,or, troro mnnv nfhfirs a 1111 tuuugu tUVAV ??

Just as Mr. Hemphill was leaving the White House the president said that he thought as much of him as he could think of any Democrat, and Mr. Hemphill replied that he thought as much of the president as he could of any Republican. BYSTANDER STRUCK BY BULLET. Shot Aimed at Another Kills Tennessee Merchant. Knoxville, Tenn., April 25.?Sim Sexton, a merchant at Huntsville, Tenn., was killed at that place on Saturday night, although nothing was known of the tragedy until Sunday morning. His dead body was found on a business street. When killed he was on his way home from his store. Shortly after he had stepped out into the street shots were fired, trouble having arisen/between several young men from Helenwood, a neighboring town, and a party of young Huntsville men. Sexton was seen to start on a run when the shooting began, and it was not known that he had been struck. Buster Reed, of Helenwood, aged 18, was arrested to-day, charged with the shooting. It is said that Reed was shooting at Caldwell Phillips, when Sexton was killed. The deceased is a man of family and a son of County Trustee R. B. Sexton. . i V . > ; # . -AM . tore n ) WORDS.
