Augusta, Qa.,. July 18.-Investiga
tions of Dr. James Woods Babcock,
of Columbia, proving the existence
of pellagra among the negroes of the

Hospital, at Augusta. Both cases
exhibit marked symptoms of the dis
ease; skin lesions, salivation and
mental disturbances. Augusta phy
sicians to-day announced tests of the

the effort to prove that the disease Is
caused by a micro-organism such as
ls caused by malaria and typhoid
fevers, and is not due to eating dis

FAVORS LOWERING OF SALARIES
Even Uta President Gets Too Much
for HI? Services.
Editors Keowee Courier: I believe
all of the persons requested by Mr.
Jaynes to express themselves In re
gard to the Clerk of Court's salary
have done so. Now, as Mr. Jaynes
aBked "others" I will fall In line and
give my opinion as to the effect of
high salaries in obtaining the best
and most efficient men to fill our
offices, as well as the effects upon the
taxpayers.
First, I will ask who are the best
and most efficient mon to put in
office? Are they those who have the
best literary education? If so, we
many expect to pay them well for
their services. But I am well satis
fied In my mind that most of the
best officials to be found In the State
to-day are not highly educated men,
but have, deep down lu their hearts,
the best Interests of the people at
large, as weil us in then* heads a per
sonal knowledge of what the people
need and want. Therefore they are
willing to serve the people at a rea
sonable salary-a salary In propor
tion to the time lt akes to perform
the work of the office that has been
assigned them by the people.
Now, as to the Clerk's salary In
Oconee, 1 cannot say what it is, but
am persuaded to believe lt to be too
much, when we count the actual num
ber of days required to do the work
of that office, with the Improved sys
tem of keeping the records of it
placed there by the tax-payers of the
county and State.
I was looking with a certain Clerk
of COMM lui Misstate some time since,
over the record books for real estate.
I said to him, "This is a new system
given you to record a deed, is lt
not?" He replied, "Yes, and I tell
you lt is a time and labor saver for
me, too."
Now in view of the fact that the
State t?"d county have by taxing the
people placed in the Clerk's office cer_
tain labor-saving device", thus re
quiring less time and labor to do the
work of the office, he should, in Jus
tice and right to the tax-poyers of
i the State, who have (or most of
them) such a hard way of making
money, serve them for less money
than he IB now getting, say for $1,
500 a year. This is one hundred and
twenty-five dollars per month, with a
good office and fixtures furnished free
of rent-more than a lot of farmers
clear for the entire year, notwith
standing the fact that the farmer has
ito furnish his own tools, supplies and
?stock himself, and pay taxes on them,
too, to furnish a nice office building,
with all necessary fixtures and books,
free of cost to their Clerk at a salary
now greatly out of proportion to
what other officials get, and the work
and responsibility attached to hi?
office.
I believe the best paying offices in
the county should be the Sheriff's
and County Supervisor's, because the
Sheriff has to risk his life and assume
a lot of responsibility, and the super
visor has the financial responsibility
of the county as well as all the roads,
bridges and poor farm. He should
be a man with some knowledge of
practical engineering and finances;
and In view of these facts these offi
cials should be liberally paid for their
services and the risks and responsi
bilities they assume.
But excesBlve salaries never did,
nor never will, necessarily make effi
ciency and competency In office. It
takes honesty, sobriety and a will to
give the people the best service for
the least money. Therefore the man
to-day who is offering himself to the
people for office, prompted alone by
the pay in the office, ls not likely to
make a very good official, whether he
be a graduate of Yale or Harvard or
with but a common school education,
or whether he be rich or poor. What
the people need as their officials is
men of character, sobriety and coin
in ?n sense, and a will to serve all the
peopie alike-men who cannot be
bought by the money of the rich or
influenced by the sympathies of the
poor, and wno will serve the public,
as the public's servant, as he would
his own interest. Once our offices
are filled by such men BB this our
taxes will not be at the confiscating
point, and less grab and graft will
we have in public trusts, and more
general prosperity and happiness
among the people, as well as less
class legislation.
Now, in conclusion, I desire to say
that I think among the many compe
tent, bright and honest young men,
as Weiras older ones, In Oconee, we
can find plenty of them who are
ready and will take any office in the
county for less money than they are
now paying, and more especially the
Clerk's office.
Time was when our County Com
missioners served the people for less
than three hundred dollars per year,
and the county waB out of debt and
had money in the treasury. They did
this with less than two million dol
lars' worth of property to levy on.
But lo and behold the condition of
the county to-day, with over four
million dollars worth of property to
levy on, and-the county in debt about
fifty thousand dollars, and taxes
about fifty per cent higher than they
were in former day?. Surely the
American people to-day are the worst
taxed people in the world in spite of
competent offlce-holdere. Tho best
days the people of thia Republic ever
saw, and when there was less graft
In office and less class leglalatlon, was
Sofore high salaries.

TWO FIGHTS IN ANDERSON.
One W hile Man Smashes his Father?
Ill-Law-Another She 's a Negro.
Anderson, July ly.-Two white
men, Base Williams, aged 21, and
D. C. French, aged 24, are in the
county jail, awaiting announcements
of the deaths of each of their victims.
Williams and his father-in-law,
Henry Martin, both of whom live
near Denver, Were in Anderson yes
terday. They drank nearly two
quarts of whiskey, according to Wll
liams's admission. It is said that
th'-v arrived at Martin's house, near
sundown. Williams and his wife,
who was Miss Margie Martin, began
scuming in the yard at the side of
the house. Martin evidently thought
that Wi'liams was fighting her, and
he advanced on him with an iron rod.
Williams says that Martin hit him
across the head with the rod, when
he (Williams) commenced running
to get out of the way. Martin fol
lowed him, and while running Wil
liams picked up a shovel and hit
Martin across the head, crushing the
skull. Williams then got his wife,
Martin's daughter, and walked to
his home, a mlle distant. He was
surprised while In bed by officers this
morning. He did not resist arrest.
The attending physician says that
Martin is in a dying condition.
French shot a negro, Will Super,
three times with a 32-callbre pistol.
French runs a livery stable In Wll
llamston and Super had been doing
some work for him. Super came to
the stables yesterday afternoon In a
drunken condition and became in
censed at some of French's remarks.
French admits he had been drinking.
Super advanced on French, so the lat
ter says, with an open knife. French
received several gashes in his clothes
and hand and one wound In the arm.
He had a pistol in his pocket and
drew it as Super was making to ad
vance on him. He shot three times,
each bullet taking effect in Super's
stomach. French came to the city
last night with his uncle, W. A. Coo
ley, and surrendered to Sheriff Green.
The negro ls In a dying condition.

at Wllllamston Saturday afternoon,
is dead from the gun shot wounds.
twenty-five thousand dollars annu
ally, lt was then we had less graft
and class legislation than we have to
day, with the President at a salary
of fifty thousand dollars yearly. So
lt takes something more than high
salaries to give the people good and
competent officials. It takes princi
pally honesty and a desire to give the
best possible service to the people for
the least money.
To this end I will say that In view
of the money depression in the couii
try, and that there are plenty of goof
and competent men In Oconee who
would take any office In It for the
same s?lary, or less than they are
now paying, I think lt unwise and
contrary to the best Interests of the
people to raise salaries and thus in
crease taxes and extravagance with
the result of no bette* service to the
people.
Mr. Haley, we think, is about
right in most of his propositions. If
there ever was a time for economy

people, both in their homes and pub
lic affairs, it Is to-day. Economist.
Newry, July 14, 1908.
It Was Only an Imitation.
(Philadelphia Ledger.)
Three carriages with curtains low
ered drove along Huntington Park
avenue to Kenneday's lane, west of
29th street, and to the hollow south
east of the Queen Lane reservoir,
where the occupants alighted.
In one of the vehicles was a negro
bound with thick cords. He was
taken by two men into the woods and
there the cords were untied. He
stalled to run, but was pursued by
the men down a steep hill and Anally
captured. Then, after a short talk,
the captors led the negro to a tree,
threw the end of a rope over a limb,
and, fastening the other end around
the black man's neck, drew him up
until his feet were free of the ground.
The men then walked away a few
paces, and, drawing large pistols, dis
charged them at the hanging man's
body.
Several men working in a nearby
field, who witnessed the performance,
ran to the hollow to protest against a
lynching. When they had finished
talking, one of the "lynchers" stepped
forward and said:
"That ls all right, gentlemen; we
are very glad you came on the scene
when you did, as your appearing will
add greatly to the value of the pic
ture."
Then, pointing to a photographer
in a corner of the field, he continued,
"You see, we are taking films for
moving picture exhibitions."
The rope had been fastened to an
arrangement that had been placed
beneath the negro's coat. The pistols
had been loaded with blank cart
ridges.
