Merchant und Wife Shot Down by Negroes, Who Rob House. Macon, Ga., June 22.-J. T. Hew- I ell, a country merchant at Long Branch, near Dublin, and his wife were murdered early this morning, after being called from their beds. Bloodhounds placed on the trail led the posse to the cabin of three ne groes, Smith Harris, Joe May and Henry Kitchens. These negroes were hurried to the Jail, and* although a heavy guard was estahlished, a crowd outnumbering the guards formed out side the jail and demanded the sur render of the prisoners. At. 6 o'clock to-night several .hun dred citizens had joined the forces outside the jnil and had begun to storm the jail at Dublin. At supper time the mob adjourned for its even ing meal, and the sheriff hurried his prisoner to the railroad, where an extra train was waiting, placed the prisoners aboard and rushed them to this city for safe keeping. Mr. Uewell was shot down with a shotgun. The right side of his face was riddled with No. 4 shot, and his right eye was shot out. It was be fore daylight and he carried a lighted lamp in one hand. The lamp set his clothing on fire and he was badly burned about the chest. Mrs. Hewell ran to her husband's assistance and was ordered back in tho house, it is believed, as her body was found on the doorstep, ns if try ing to enter the house. The sheriff and coroner were noti fied of the shooting by a neighbor, who, on hearing the shots, set out for the town of Dublin. When the officers and a quickly summoned pos se appeared on the scene Mrs. Hewell was dead, hut her husband ?vas 'still breathing and suffering awful agony from the wounds and burns. He died while being carried to Dublin by the coroner. Hewell muttered something about a negro having done the t hooting, but nothing tangible couM be ob tained from hlm.s The county's dogs were placed on the tracks and they led to the cabin of Harris, where they aiso found Joe May. Both negroes were placed under arrest. Harris's, tracks are alleged to flt the tracks found *t the H cv; ol I home. There were barefoot tracks at the scene of the shooting also and the bloodhounds were placed on these tracks also. The dogs went straight | to the home of Henry Kitchens, also a negro. A single barrel shot gun I was found in Kitchens's home that | had been recently fired. He also was j arrested. Robbery Motive of Murder. . The motive for the murder is be lieved to have been robbery,, and the theory is that Harris borrowed Kitchens's gun to commit the deed. They evidently met in the woods to divide the SJMJIIS. Mrs. Howell's trunk was ransacked, the suit cases and grips were thrown into the yard after their ccyitentB had been search ed, while a small grip'*in which Hewell kept his money was found in the woods near where the shoe prints and barefoot tracks met. Search of the premises of Hie ne groes failed to disclose any money that had been obtained. Hewell ev idently *put up a hard fight with the negroes, as both of his revolvers were found in the yard near the scene of the shooting. Hewell had removed his clothing after it caught fire and he was practically nude when found. Hewell'8 son travels out of Macon for a packing Arm. The son was lo cated at Hawkinsville by phone and has gone to the scene of the crime. Hewell was 53 years old and his wife was 30 PIEDMONT SECTION IRON ORE. Expert Finds Specimens that Amaze Him Greatly. (Anderson Mail, 21&t.) Frank Hess, the government ex pert who came here to examine the places where oil was suspected of be ing, completed his visit and has re turned to Washington.

He did find some specimens of copper, how ever, that amazed him, and ho took a large number of samples to Wash ington. Mr. Hess was greatly pleased with Clemson College, and declared after his visit to that nlaco th^t it is an institution of which the State has great reason to feol proud. On his return to Washington Mr. Hess will report and recommend that the government sei.d another man here to follow after him and make a more detailed examination of the country. He was morely making a gi-ne ra. observation, aid that obser vation Is that there ls no oil here, but he thinks the government should send a man to spend about a year, making a careful, detailed study and maps of the geological conditions. 8.

FIRST NAVY AERONAUT TO DIE. Ensign IWIingsley Killed-Muet. Powers Barely EecajHsl With Life. Washington, June 21.-Ensign W. D. Billingsley, of Mississippi, Was killed and Lieut. J. H. Powera, of Georgia, waa seriously hurt by the collapse of their aeroplane while fly ing over Chesapeake Bay, near An napolis, yesterday m/Mning. The two officers started early to day from the Naval Academy in a hydro-aeroplane for Claiborne, Md. i When a.bwU,JJv Annapolis the hydro-aeroplano, at an altitude of about 1,600 feet, capsized. When it had dropped about 400 feet Ensign Billing8ley fell or was thrown out. His body has not been re covered. Lieut. Powers remained in the ma chine and fell with it into Chesa peake Bay, where he was rescued and hurried to the Naval Academy Hospital injured, although it is not known how seriously. Nine Fatalities Do Date. The death of Ensign Billinsley makes a total of nine fatalities in the government service since the army began experiments with heavier-than air machines at Fort Myer in 1908. His death is the first in the aviation corps of the navy. Bllllng8ley was bern in 1887, grad uated from the Naval Academy in 1909 and was attached to the avia tion corps in that year. Lieut. Pow ers was born in 1885, graduated from the Naval Academy in 1906 and was assigned to the aviation corps last December. Sudden Gust Hit? Airship. When about four miles off Kent Island and a quarter of a mile abovo Chesapeake Bay a sudden gust of wind struck the hydro-aeroplane, throwing Ensign Billingsley against the steering gear and putting it out of order. The machine began to tack rapidly, but despite the precarious situation lt is thought Billingsley would have regained control had he not lost his balance and fallen from the craft. Lieut Powers attempted to balance tho machine, but without avail, and he, too. fell from his seat. He was fortunate, however, to catch one of the vertical uprights, to which he clung desperately until he was about o00 feet from the water. He came down a few feet away from the wreck and kept himself afloat until picked up, although he was suffering Intense pain. GIVES $3,000,000 ANNUALLY.

WILSON MA HKS HKOON? CALL. President Urges Immediate Currency Reform Action hy Congress. Washington, Jene 23.-Hearing & personal plea Tor immediate action by Congress to revise the banking and currency laws, that business may be aided in meeting tariff .revision. President Wilson for the second time went to the Houso of Representa tives to-day and personally read his address on tho subject to both Houses of Congress assembled in joint scBBlon. Although shorn of some of the novelty that attended his tlrst ap pearance, when ho upset Presidential traditions of more than a century, to day's visit of the President to Con gress took on a deeper significance. On his first _v1slt he delivered a message, long anticipated, urging the carrying out of the party's pledgee for Immediate revision of the tariff. His address to-day was an appeal to every member of the Houso and Senate to lay aside personal oonsld era'Jons and sacrifice comfort, and even health, If necessary, to secure at once a revision and reform of tnt nation's banking system. Only in that way, he declared, could the country secure the benefit of tho tariff revision soon to bo completed. "It ls perfectly clear that it is our duty to sepply tho new banking and currency system the country needs, and that lt will immediately need more than ever," said President Wil son. "Shall we hasten to chango our tariff laws and thou be laggards about making it possible and easy for the country to take advantage of the change? There can be only one answer to that question. We must net now, at whatovor sacrifico to our selves." The vigor and strength of his s|>e cial message held the attention of his large audience through Its deliv ery. The chamber was filled wit?. Senators and Representatives, gal leries were crowded with mon and women from the official set, and cor ridors were jammed with those una ble to gain entrance. The President gave nb direct en dorsement lo tho Glass currenoy bllL, counsel and approx al. "The committee of Congress te which legislation of this character is referred has devoted careful study to the means of accepting those ob jections," he Bald in conclusion. "They have honored me by consult ing me. They are ready to suggest action." , Mr. Brynn Won C 7er. Washington, June 23.-Back of the formation or the Owen-Glass-Mo Adoo currency bill and its introduc tion in the House to-day Iles another story of vital significance to the Dem ocratic party and the country gene rally. It concerns itself with the achievement of President Wilson In winning Secretary Bryan over to the bill. The complete meeting of the minds of the masters of the party on this Question-ono which dragged dows the second Cleveland admin?stranos and kept his party from power and in dissension during all the sixteen years of Bryan's leadership-has a significance extending far beyond the drafting of a currency measure that commands .tho united support of the administration forces. It mean.-; that Bryan's radical rea soning Is now in accord with the thinking of his chief, the President, and the very lively fears of a break between the President and the Com moner, which have been a subject of common ?rossln ?nd conjecture, are overcome with a success that a short time ago seemed to be impossible. There has been an honest dread of that break between Wilson and Bryan. Both men have been getting along famously, but Bryan's owa statement this morning carries an In timation of what tho President has been up? against in his determination to have immediate currency legisla tion. There Is a world of meaning in this sentence by Bryan: "Con flicting opinions, honestly entetrain ed and strongly adhered to, have been reconciled with a success hardly to he expected." I*. S. Kn gi 11 cors in Watery Grave. New Madrid, Mo..
