C , Wednesday 1922 3c Per Conv SKETCH OF OUR MAYOR-ELECT Mr. O. E. Smith was on yesterday elected mayor of the city of Union. On two former occasions he ran for the office, each time meeting defeat. But his defeat was taken gracefully and his determination to win has been rewarded, a fine illustration of pluck and perseverance. M E7 I M tomrm mat I I Mr. Smith is a native of Laurens county, but, for twenty years, has J been a resident of Union. He has served as alderman from ward two, and has frequently served as mayor of the city, pro tern. For ten years he wag employed in the mechanical department o'f Progress; for two years he was in the job department of The Times. For several years he has been engaged in the job printing business on his own account. He is a man of few words and of strong determination, and his friends, who are many, expect great things of him in the position to which he has been elected, the position of highest responsibility in the gift of the people of Union. His stand for law and order, throughout the campaign gives assurance that the moral conditions of the city will be safeguarded. x Mr. Smith was married in to Miss Maude Whitlock of this city afkd three daughter? and one son form i?" i i lnai lilisH jfr-fjfrti i lltr .<?jM.eat daughter is now a strident Tri Winthrop college. In his campaign Mr. Smith repeatedly said: "I stand for law and order; I have three daughters and one son, and I desire a clean town in which to rear them"?pretty good argument, it seems to us. The Times extends the new mayor congratulations, and pledges hearty ^~RUpport in every effort to advance the moral and material interests of the city of Union.

Arnette of 4401 Ridgewood avenue was murdered in his filling to station at the corner of Main street ed and Elmwood avenue at about 11 T1 o'clock last night. The body, in the qu c pinion of county officers, was then be put^ito Mr. Arnette's car and carried kn out Main street to Kirkland avenue sn where the car and body were discovment beside the Bay branch bridge where th car and body were discov- ha ered at 11:30 o'clock. The murderers, an officers think, then returned to the fill- thi ing station and at about 12:30 o'clock, tic while county officers were at the Kirk- on land avenue bridge investigating the killing( set fire to the filling station, fir The body was found lying in the ev front of the car, which had either been rolled out of the road or driven slow- 1 ly down the embankment where it was P* discovered by six men who were returning home from a national guard re] drill. Sheriff Heise was immediately w< notified and with Coroner Scott and Th Deputy Sheriff Thompson rushed to ni] the scene. The body was lying crum- it pled up in the foot of the front seat, ni* From signs of blood in the back of the front seat the body had apparent- on iy been brought to the lonely spot held pr upright between two men. Mr. Ar- an nette had been sit over the head sev- io oial times with some blunt instrument lie and when the officers first arrived the wi body was still warm. of The tracks of the car were traced to a point abolit 100 yards beyond the LI bridge bgside which the car and body ap were found. Here the murderers, ap- an parently having noticed the bridge as th they passed and decided upon it as a in good spot to drive the car off the road, ed turned around and drove back to the eo bridge, sending the car down into the gi ditch. They then left the scene pos- st sibly in another automobile in which an a third or fourth confederate must fe have followed or walked back to the filling station. en There were no signs of any violence Li near the bridge and no blood except PI in the car and officers therefore be- vi came convinced that the man had been m murdered and then brought to the ov bridge. This theory was strengthened ha when the news was received that the fe Heise then rushed back to the filling gs station. The fire, which was discov- Si ered at about 12:35 o'clock'and was to extinguished by the fire department, sp had been started in a pot of gasoline di; and had been burning only a few min- wl utes when the fire department arrived, he On the spot where the fire had been tr started in the rear of the filling sta- in tion the officers located spots of wi blood, evidently where Mr. Arnette m had b^en struck. The tracks of an ar automobile identical with that of Mr. ne Arnette's were "also found leading into the side door of the filling station "Ni where the murderers apparently backed the car into the rear room of the building and there placed the body in tlin pnr Ia Via pnrriorV ahV fa Virl/1 un/1 ? ? Of avenue. The rear room of 'the filling jj( station where the crime was commit- ^ ted and where the fire was started is kr cut oft' from view from the street. Mr. Arnette had not closed the busi- j no: 3 for the day and money to the W( amount of $122.23 was found in the ^ cash legister. Of this $112.24 was in so bills and silver. The cash register had not been disturbed. Mr. Amette's ] watch and a small amount of money in one of his pockets were also undisturbed and were found on the body. j The crime, officers believe, was com- ^j( niitted at about 11 o'clock. John Roberts of Colonial Heights, the last person known to have seen Mr. Arnette alive, told officers last night that he stopped by the filling station for gasoline at about 10:30 o'clock and was served by Mr. Arnette. The body was discovered by the six national guardsmen at 11:30 o'clock and was still warm. The bridge where the body was found is approximately a mile from the filling station and is only a few minutes automobile drive from the filling station. Kirkland avenue connects Main street with the OT1 Asylum road, leaving Main street just beyond the Seaboard trestle. The six national guardsmen, who m were riding,home in a truck and first st noticed the car in the ditch, are: Boh te Crouch, Jim Crouch, Heyward Hair, * Matterson Bonds, Jack Dent and Willie Dent. These men notified the sheriff at about 12 o'clock and remained at the scene until the officers arrived, shortly after midnight. No suspicious person or persons are ch known to have been seen near the fill- W A . sa*ts ovaviuu cikiici vnmc ui (liter tnr m murder or fire. P. M. Nelson, who tic was in a drug store just across the ol street, however, heard someone close the gasoline pumps in front of the station at 12 o'clock, but thinking that it was Mr. Amette, paid no attention to the noise. Shortly afterward a boy ml ran by the drug store, Mr. Nelson re says, and called out that the filling ti< station was on fire. The alarm was tri sounded and the fire soon extinguish- = ed. dii Frank Jeffords, Mr. Amette's part- co ner in the filling station, was sum- lai moned by city police because of the Ai fire and had just opened the store and St USSIA PRESENTS C REPLY TO ALLIES Genoa, May 10.?The Russian reply the Allied memorandum was hand- ha the Allied conferees this morning, at' le reply, says the Central News, re- co ests the exact discount that would ou made if the war debts were ac- G< mwledged.

Gary yes? {erday issued an order directing the tax commission to show cause on May t 15 why a permanent injunction should L not be issuel against the commission > from enforcing the provisions of the ? Income tax act on the Santee mills, i the Pacific mills, the Winnsboro mills r anci the Union-Buffalo mills. The order was issued* by the chief - justice following a petition present! ed by attorneys for the cotton mills asking for a restraining order ' against the commission to prevent the enforcemnt of the income tax act i on the mills named. The petition I of the plaintiff alleges that the South Carolina income tax act is null and I void in that it contravenes the constiI tution of the state and the United States. While the order signed by Justice I Gary only affects the mills represent' ed in the petition, it is believed the constitutionality of the income tax ? act as it affects all individuals, cor' porations and firms will be decided by the court after the rtuin to the Vule to show cause next Monday, May > 16, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. : The petition of the plaintiffs al' lege that the Pacific mill is a corporation under the laws ol Massa1 chusetts and is licensed to do business under the laws of Souih Caro1 lina. ^he petitioners further claim that they have no method of ascer? taining what profit is made by the miHs in South Carolina, because much r of the finishing work on the goods manufactured here is done in Mas sachusetts, such as bleach'ng, dyeing, } etc. The further claim is made that goods are sold in Boston to customers in other states and that this is ^ interstate commerce. ^ In 'regard to the Union-Buffalo mills it is claimed that these plants " are incorporated under the laws of 1 New York and that the Winnsboro 5 mills are under the laws of Massa> Chusetts, 5 ' The order of Chief Justic Gary is * as follows: "Santee mills, a corporation of 18SLkaof^^^Ttlfio mills, a cor-l r nil 11 ^ ^^ * state of Massachusetts, plaintiffs, vs. W. G. Query, chairman, J. P. Der1 ham and J.

II 'It is ordered that defendants be restrained and enjoined from enforce ing the said act so far as said act c ^ affects the plaintiffs herein until the further order of this court; and that defendants do show cause in this court on May 15, 1922, at 3 o'clock. why the prayer of the complaint for a permanent injunction should not issue; and that a copy of the complaint as filed and a copy of this order he forthwith served on the dov fendants.

ALLEGED FRAUDS L UNDER INQUIRY s Washington, May 9.?In a detailed if statement concerning the prosecution e of war fruud cases, prepared at the y request of the president and transi mittcil today to the house, Attorney a General Daugherty declared that exi animations so far completed disclosed 11 in each instance "sufficient indication i- that a crime has been committed to r warrant submitting them to a grand e jury." Presented on the eve of a Republi11 can caucus, called to consider a legise lative program including a Repubiii can resolution for investigation of s charges of alleged laxity in prosecui tion by the department of justice. ' the attorney general's letter provoked i", a partisan row in which Representae tive Garrett, the Democratic leader, i- broadly intimated that it was intende ed to smother the proposed investigat tion. r Representative Mondel, the Repubc lican leader to whom Mr. Daugherty's letter was sent by the president, did I- not indicate in reply to a question i- on the floor as to whether it meant ?f the resolution already given privio leged status by the rules committee g never would be heard from again, c Taking issue with the attorney gen eral, Representative Woodruff (Republican) of Michigan declared the it former was requested six months ago n to appeal to congress for $500,00(1 >f to clear up his war time docket, d anil that he never acted until ltei publicans had assailed the ilepartd nient in the house. Mr. Wodruff reis iterated that unless the attorney general allowed the court to decide the c pending case against the Lincoln Mod tor company "on its merits, I will 0 move his impeachment in the house n of representatives." I- The Michigan representative asserted that a Republican congress f- could "not face the country in an is election unless it clears up war fraud ' cases which smell to high heaven." g Charging that "little or nothing" 1 had been done by the former admin1 istration to bring war robberies to ?- light. Mr. Daugherty wrote the pres's ident the country would soon have reasons to know that "influential personages. in the government who had knowledge of these transactions and were in a position to make disclosures, were personally interested in concealing them." The department, he said, was handling upward of 200 '>' war contract cases and if recoveries ' were obtained in all, the total would 111 reach $100,000,000. ri" It was a terrible thing, the attorney P general said, to charge a citizen with robbing his own government and for 111 that reason, he said, he insisted upon '* a painstaking investigation of all cases involving charges of criminal30 it y.
