Thursday, May 22,1913 Our idea of a cheerful liar is a fellow who says he just loves to go fishing these days and get red bugs all over him. It begins to look like we will have to stay away from the meeting of the State Press Association or abandon our idea of offering a resolution regarding the free pass question. We didn't k-now the brethren were so touchy about their free passes. t ' -V The governor can hardly expect to enforce the dispensary law when he paroles those who have been convicted of the illegal sale of liquor, especially before they have begun serving a sentence. He needn't try to put the blame on the Supreme Court, He kept the constables before the Webb law was passed, and we can see no reason for his taking them off now. . CONSTABLE SHOOTS HJKS1. Henry Moore Desperately Wounded in Chester County. Chester, May 16.?Constable John Varnadore, of Leesville Township, was compelled to use his gun on Henry Moore an otsterepous negro, a few days ago and as a result Moore lies desperately wounded at his home in Lando. Moore, who was night watchman of the Manetta Mill, was suspected of stealing cloth and Mr. Varnadore had been provided with a search warrant and had gone to Moore's home to make a search. Moore refused to let him in and, it is said, made his refusal more em/ phatic by attempting to draw a gun and shoot the constable, who was too quick, however, and fired before the [:v. negro was able to shoot. Mr. Varnadore fired twice and both bullets, struck the negro in the side, inflicting dangerous wounds. Kills His Wife With Poker. ~ 1 n William Sp&rtci, \v ito, iuaj At/. Hogue, 70 years of age, beat his aged wife to death with a poker, fatally shot his daughter, Mrs. Guy Wilson; wounded his son-in-law, Wilson, then took his own life by cutting his throat yesterday. Hpgue, angered at the turn he fancied family affairs had taken, first killed his wife, then attacked the Wilsons in their home", half a mile dis' i tant. He returned to his dead wife's side to commit suicide. Harry Thaw Witness Again. New York, May 15.?Harry K. Thaw to-day took the stand in the Court room where he was twice tried for the murder of Stanford White to tell about the alleged conspiracy to get him out of Matteawan State Asylum. John N. Anhut, the New York lawyer whom John W. Russell, former superintendent of the Matteawan, accused of offering him $20,000 to sign the certificates that Thaw was sane, is on trial. The State charges also that Anhut abetted Thaw in an attempt to bribe Russell. Man Captured Not Austin. Jesup, Ga., May 19.?The report that Austin, the South Carolina negro outlaw, had been captured was erroneous. Sheriff Price and his posse today ran down the negro thought to be Austin and discovered that they had again captured the wrong man. The negro caught had no difficulty in proving his identity and was released by the officers. The report that the cook at a railroad construction camp near here has fed Austin for a week is believed to be false. WORLD MARVEL BY RAIL. Great Engineering Feats Being Performed in the Andes. Down from the summits of *he Andes in Peru to the navigable headwaters of the Amazon river, a sheer drop of about three miles in a distance of about 250 miles, American brain and muscle last fall began the construction of a railroad, says the New York Sun. When this work is completed it will rank among the railroad engineering marvels of the wrorld. The Amazon Pacific railroad is to be its official name. It is to be completed in a year or two, in order to begin operating the line. Early last fall President Legula, of Peru, signed the bill which placed $10,000,000 in gold at the disposal of Alfred W. McCune, the concessionaire and master builder. The line is to be about 270 miles long. It is the first hundred miles, however?the hundred miles of tunnels, curves, bridges, embankments and switchbacks from the summit of the Andes down their eastern slope? that will put the great test upon the ability of the builders. Here will be employed devices in railroad building such as have no counerpart in this country, nor even in the most difficult passes of the Rockies. Marvelous as the railroad will be from an engineering and scenic standpoint, it will be even more notable for'its economic effect on world trade. Although Peru is not more than 500 miles wide from east to west, its trans-Andean products must take a journey of 20,000 miles down the Amazon and to Europe, returning via Panama, in order to reach the commercial cities of. its west coast. The new road will permit the interchange of Oriental and Occidental Peruvian products in four days instead of six months. ? in is pian was an uicamcu u.?, m. the early '70s by Henry Meiggs, the most famous American soldier of fortune who ever visited South America. His greatest work was the construction of the famous railroad from Callao to Croya, on the top of the Andes, a road which for a quarter of a century has furnished stock illustrations of the school geographies as the highest railroad in the world. The difficulties encountered illustrate those the builders of the new road are overcoming. "The road has got to go there, just there," said Meiggs at one time, pointing to the route mapped by the surveyors. "If you can't find a roadbed, we'll hand it from balloons." At points on the road the track leaves tunnels which end in the faces of precipes, crosses the canyons on cobweblike bridges, and then enters other tunnels. At some places the cliffs were so precipitous that the workmen had to be lowered with ropes from the edge^and held there until they could cut footholds in the rock. The famous bridge spanning the gorge called the Infernillo (Little Hell) is an example of this tunnel and bridge construction. The Amazon and Pacific railway company, as the McCune concession is officially known, has been duly incorporated in New Jersey. Peru agrees to give $10,000,000 in bonds to the road builders, payable in installments at the completion of every 25 miles of the roadbed. In addition Peru will convey to McCune 5,000,000 acres of land in the montana country when the road is completed. Sentinel Changes Hands. The Aiken Sentinel, edited for the better part of the past three years by Mr. Walter E. Duncan, has been sold to Mr. Geo. R. Webb, of Warrenville, editor of a weekly paper known as the Korsecreek Valley News. Mr. Webb, it is stated, will move his paper to Aiken and consolidate the two, editing under the name of the Valley Sentinel-News. Heretofore the Sentinel has been issued on Thursday, the Warrenville paper on Saturday, and the new paper will be issued on the latter day. Mr. Webb has been in the newspaper business for a number of years.?Aiken Journal and Review. SHOT IX SCUFFLE WITH WIFE. H. P. McNeill, of Jacksonville, Dies of Pistol Wound.

McNeill, well known business man of this city, and a nephew of United States Judge Emory Speer, of Macon, Ga., died tonight from wounds received while in a scuffle with his wife over a revolver yesterday morning near Pablo Beach. In some mysterious manner the weapon was dis charged, the bullet striking MCNein just behind the ear. He died without having regained consciousness. Mrs. McNeill is suffering from a nervous breakdown. The negro chaffeur, alleged to have witnessed the affair, and a negro woman who cooked for the McNeills, are held in connection with the shooting. GARRETT NOW SAFE IN JAIL I Slayer of Campbells Taken Without Bloodshed. OLD FRIEND OF THE DOGS. Fugitive Surprised by Posse in Thick of Swamp at Daybreak. Bishopville, May 19.?M. L. Garret, who killed his son-in-law, Aaron Campbell, and the latter's father, Jno. H. Campbell, is now in the Lee county jail, having been placed there ' this morning by Sheriff R. E. Muldrow, Jr., of Lee county, and his aides, without further bloodshed. Sheriff Muldrow, who went to the scene of the double killing immediately upon notification, was unable to track the slayer who was in the swamp with his daughter, until the 'arrival of Guard J. C. Robbing, of the State Penitentiary, with his dogs, "Joe" and "Ben." These dogs were placed on the trail about 7 o'clock yesterday evening and immediately took the scent and the hunt began. The swamp had previously been surrounded as far as possible by many citizens who were assisting in the search. The dogs bayed the fugitive t about dark and Sheriff Muldrow, pushing into the undergrowth, caught sight of the girl's- dress and calling her by name, ordered her to come to him which she did, to the relief of all, as it was feared that she would also be killed by her father. Gertie Campbell then informed the Sheriff that her father had forced her to accompany him by threatening her life; that he was heavily armed, had a large supply of ammunition and had declared that he would defend himself to the last and never be taken alive. It being then too dark to proceed with the search, close guard was kept until daybreak. Sheriff Muldrow then took a dozen men with him and followed the dogs into the thick swamp. The sheriff and his aides, with the valuable assistance of the dogs, were soon upon the fugitive. Pressing forward rapidly, they came suddenly upon Garret, who was apparently asleep, or seeking to hide himself because of the early morning light, when he was immediately overpowered and handcuffed. Garret's record before the double killing yesterday was probably the darkest in the history of Lee c >unty, he having been tried in court here September 13, 1910, for an unnatural offence and entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced by Judge Geo. E. Prince to a period of two years in the Penitentiary. Hp served his time and returned to Lee county the latter part of July, 1912, and, it is said, . resumed former relations with his daughter. He was again arrested and tried on several charges and sentenced to the Lee county gang for a period of five months. After serving two months of his time he escaped and, it is said, he has since been living near Dalzell, in Sumter county. His daughter has been staying with relatives near Rose Hill since Garret was first arrested, and last Friday she came to town with Aaron Campbell and they secured a license and were married. Garret is said to have made the threat that he would kill anyone who married his daughter, and hearing of her marriage, it is said, he loaded his gun with slugs and on Sunday morning made his way to the home of the Campbells. On his way he saw Mr. J. E. Brown, a white man, near the hofiie where his son-in-law, Aaron Campbell, and his daughter, T.,,^/-v nomnhol 1 anH .T T-T (~!amrt VJCl li UUC X^LAXXXJ^ f. bell, the father of young Campbell, lived quietly together. Arriving there about 1 o'clock, it is said he shot the old man in the abdomen, as he (Campbell) was standing in his piazza, and when the young man attempted to run in the door, Garret shot the top of his head off, and forcing his daughter to go with him, made his escape in the swamp. The coroner held an inquest yesterday afternoon, and the jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the above. , The Story from Sumter. Sumter, May 19.?M. L. Garret, ' the slayer of John H. Campbell and ' his son, Aaron Campbell, was cap- 1 tured this morning by a posse headed by Sheriff Muldrow, of Lee county. ; CAUGHT IN BELT AND KILLED. C John Presdey, Operative in Lancas- J ter Mills, Meets Horrible Death. Lancaster, May 16.?John Pressley, an operator at the Lancaster j. cotton mills, was killed today in the mill while engaged in his duties in the card room. His clothing came in contact in some way with one of the ^ belts and he was hurled to the ceiling ? o and down again, his body falling on another carding machine. He was ^ badly mangled, but still living when picked up, and was rushed on a special train to the hospital at Chester, but was so badly injured he prob- ^ ably died before the train reached J Chester. Pressley was 33 years old t and came here from Monroe, N. C., two weeks ago to work. He leaves a r wife and two children. Died Before Reaching Hospital. Chester, May 16.?John M. Presse ley, who was brought over this morning on a special train from Lancaster, died before reaching the Magdelene Hospital. Pressley was caught in the shafting of the Lancaster cotton mill and was fearfuly mangled. His re- ^ mains will be taken to Monroe* N. C., g this afternoon for burial. Garret offered no resistance until the ^ posse was upon him, when he made j one frantic effort to secure his gun, which proved fruitless, as he was ] already in the hands of his captors. All night the posse surrounded the Mechanicsville Mill Swamp, where the dogs had brought their quarry to j bay about 9 o'clock Sunday night. g All night long the pursuers, numbering about eighty men, gathered from ^ various parts of Lee and Sumter counties, waited for sunrise, so that j they could bring to an end their sue- T cessful man hunt. The dogs had ^ taken the trail near the scene of the c crime and followed it through swamps for a distance of eight miles, c finally locating the fugitive about x two and a half miles from the place j where the shooting had occurred, as the dogs approached, the girl, who had been with her father up to then, , forced to go against her will, broke t away from him and made her way out of the swamp to the South Caro- . lina Western Railroad track, where t she was found and taken in hand by c members of the posse. She reported * that her father was in the swamp j fully armed with a double-barrelled shotgun loaded with buckshot, and would kill anyone who approached c him. j It was this advice that held back ^ the members of the posse until day- c light before they made their final at- * tack upon Garret. During the night . there was a number of shots fired into the swamp and calls were made for Garret to come out and give himself t up, but save for one shrill whistle the * hunted man gave no sign that he q heard his pursuers.' About 6 o'clock g this morning, a dozen men were se- ( lected, and these approached from J various directions the place where 5 the baying of the dogs indicated that a Garret was hiding. When first seen r he was lying near a stump, apparent- . ly in a stupor. He made no resist- s ance to the officers until he was seiz- <5 ed, when he tried desperately to get r his hands on his gun, but'it was too 2 late. _ a The news of Garret's capture reached Sumter shortly afterwards, a * telephone message conveying the in- c formation to police headquarters, p Shortly after 9 o'clock J. C. Robbins, s of the State Penitentiary, who had i charge of the doge, and R. F. DuBose, t a former guard at the Penitentiary, a made their appearance here and gave an account of the chase after their a arrival. Robbins stated that he was 3 loath to bring the dogs as he knew the ground to be extremely dry owing to the long drought, but he was prevailed upon to do so and was very much pleased with the work done by them. The dogs had been very slow g at times and at others the fugitive 1 A 1? i?,:i?j "U.-WT "\fm HnDncA hnf naa lo lk? udncu uy iui lyuj^uo^, ^ w the chase was hnally successful. " Garret was taken from Mechanics- ^ ville to Bishopville, where he was t lodged in the county jail. He was re- 1 ported to be badly lamed, when ^ found, owing to a fall ovfcr a stump i, in the swamp last night, when he was d being chased by the dogs. A peculiar incident of the chase was the fact that the dogs recognized Garret as an j old friend and would not attack him E in the swamp. It seems according to t Mr. Robbins's account that while ^ serving his term in the Penitentiary, a Garret in a way had charge of the 1< animals, often doctoring their wounds and treating them for their j" diseases, thus insuring their friend- 5 ship, which came in well for him p last night, when he was trailed and s located by them. ? When captured Garret was armed ^ with his double-barrelled shot gun C which, it seems he had never discard- s ed, and his pockets were filled with 1 shells loaded with buckshot, indicat- ^ ing that he expected trouble when he set out from home Sunday morning. J The gun found in' the porch of the Campbell home was that which young Ci Campbell had grabbed up when he r first saw Garret, and offered resistance to him. ? i >PPOSES WOODS' APPOINTMENT. ohn T.

CDGEFIELD COUNTY MAN KILLED ^ice Ripley May Have Been Shot in Scuffle With Woman for Gun. Edgefield, May 19.?According to -eports received here today, Price Ripley, a white man, was shot and initantly killed near Trenton yesterday ifternoon. It is claimed the tragedy vas due to the accidental discharge >f a shotgun in the hands of Miss 3essie Davis. There was no eyevitnesses to the shooting. Miss Daus, it is said, has been hiding out ;ince the tragedy. Price Ripley lived in the Johnston ;ection of the county, while the wonan claimed Edgefield as her home, laving recently worked in the cotton nill there. An inquest was held this morning md from the meagre testimony ob:ainable it seems that the parties vere in a house together and became nvolved in a quarrel, and that one of hem seized a gun nearby, and in a scuffle for its possession it was dis;harged, the entire load taking effect n the breast of the deceased. The jury held Miss Davis as being -esponsible for Ripley's death, and Sheriff Swearin^en went this morning ;o arrest her, but she escaped him. !t is the general belief that as soon as ?he recovers from her fright that she vill surrender voluntarily.
