CHIEF 8AM HEATH IS KILLED. Run Over by Party of Reckless Negro Autoists in Greenville. / (Grenville News, Nov. 27.) Chief Petty Olllcor Samuel Heath, United States Navy, in charge of the Greeny Hie navy recruiting station, met a tragic death yesterday after noon about 1.30 o'clock, when he was struck by an automobile in which four negro men were riding. The naval officer had driven bis car a few yards beyond tho garage of the Adams Garage and Vulcanizing Company, on South Main street, and stopped to put on a tire. He drove his car close to the curb on the right hand side of tho street and was in the act of tightening the bolts which hold the tire in place, when a Buick roadster, with a single seat, with the four negroes as occupants, bore down on hii\i at the rate, according to eye-witnesses, of 00 miles an hour, dragging bim a distance of 40 feet and hurling him against another ma chine. Death wns almost Instanta neous. The men who pulled his body from the wreckage stated yes terday afternoon that he breathed "only once or twice after thoy laid bands on him. The machine in which the negroes were riding was almost completely demolished, and their escape from death or serious injury is regarded as miraculous. All of them fled as soon as the accident occurred. Je rome Fisher, one of the negroes, is still at large, while the other three, James Dial, who was driving the death-dealing machine, Butler Mooro and Lawrence Fairer, were arrested and Immediately spirited away in an automobile to tho State penitentiary in Columbia to prevent possible vio lence. Rumors of lynching and state ments from persons as to what should be done with the negroes were heard, but as far a3 ls known no efforts were made to organize a mob. Dial, the driver of the car, was arrested soon after the accident by Sheriff Rector and Rural Policeman G. O.? Bramlett, while the other two ll ^re taken into custody a little later the police. Details of tho Tragedy. According to men who were stand ing on the sidewalk and who had to jump to save their lives, the negroes came up Main street from across the rlvor, going at a terrifile rate of epeed, and on the left hand Bide of the street. Chief Heath, who had his ctir facing toward the river and close lo tho curb, was down on his knees nd justing a tire eui tho left rear wheel, when bofore li? anew what was happening he was struck and dragged up the street and hurled against another machine also against the curb. His own car was only grazed on the left fender beneath which he was stooping. The car against which he was hurled and the one in which the four negroes were riding were both badly smashed up. Chief Heath's body was badly mutil ated, both legs being broken,, his chest horribly mangled and his face lacerated. Those who saw the acci dent say the negroes were all appar ently under the influence of whiskey, the report being that Dial, who was arrested by the sheriff and rural po licemen, cursed and behaved badly in other respects. The death-dealing car was the property of J. D. Woodside, a promi nent cotton mill executive, and Dial had hoon In his employ for some time as chauffeur. Upon being ar rested, it was stated yesterday that the negro admitted that he had taken tho car without his employer's con sent and ha^d started, with his com panions, on a Joy ride. Mr. Wood side, who had been in New York for several days, arrived in Greenville yesterday morning and went Imme diately to hts office. Dial, upon hear ingHhat his employer was in the city, telephoned to/???m and asked If hef wanted tho ear brought down for hyj use. Mr. Woodside told the ne that he did not need the car and lot it stand In his private garage Jit his resldonco until he called- for iL Instead, the negro chauffeur took the machine for bis own use with the fa tal result stated above. Naval Record of Deceased. Chlof Heath was a chief water ten der in the naval service, which is one ofv the highest officers In tho non commissioned grade. Up until the timo of his death he had served 10 years 10 V? months, so that ho would soon have completed the 2f years of service at which ho could have re tired on half pay, in peace times. Since the country is at war, bo would have boen required to stay In tho service until the termination of the war,* nt which timo he would have boen retired. He was on Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, at tho battle of Manila Bay during tho war with Spain. After that engagement he served "on tho Pacific coast and in the Philippines until January of this year, when he waa sent by the Navy Department to South Carolina to en-i ter tho recruiting service. On com ing to this State ho wont to Charles ton, then conducted a recruiting ri il party Which covered a large portion I of SOM th Carolina, and last June waa Bent lo Greenville to take charge of the local recruiting station. After coming to this city he mado friends by the liundreds, and to all of these his deatl\ was a pronounced shock. Ills geittal manner and his even tem per under all circumstance's made him popular with every poison who came th contact with him. A peculiar coincidence is the fact that only an hour or so before he met his death Chief Heath filled out 1 his application for $5,000 worth of i war Insurance. He had signed the I application, but it had not been wit-' nessed, though F. J. Burress, his as sociate in the office, saw him sign lt. | Whether or not big relatives will be paid thc amount of Insurance applied for in the application is not known. The beneficiary named In the in surance application is Margaret Mc Allister, au aunt,t of 4754 Bishop street. Chicago, While tho records on file in the office of the South Caro lina recruiting office In Columbia show tho same person as the nearest of kin. 4n the application Chief Heath gave his age as 43, and it ls understood that ho had never mar ried.

And perhaps some day In the future When my little boy sits on my knee, And ho nsks what I did In the great war, As his little eyes look up at me, , I will have to look back Into those little eyes, , That at me so trustingly peer, And tell him that I wasn't drafted; That i was only a volunteer. -Contributed by A Volunteer. The Chance of Being Killed. (Popular Science Monthly.) If you, a drafted man. believe that statistics tell the truth, you will feel as safe lu Franco as you usually do in the streets of New Yorlc. So says Roger W. Rabson, the eminent statis tician. Fu rllfermore, he says that the man who is connected with the heavy Hold artillery ls no more likely i to be killed than one in the employ of a railroad. However, he does not hold out such high hopes for tho lleu \ tenants, sergeants and corporals, the j death rate being very much greater , among offlcors than among privates. ? Also, the mortality is higher among j volunteer corps than among drafted 1 mon. Six?y men per thousand are i now being killed in the war, and about 150 men out of each thousand aro bolng wounded. - - The Ctulnlne That Dots Not Affect the Heid Becausepf its tonic and laxative effect, LAXA TIVE BKOMO QUININE Jsbetterthan ordinary Quinine and does not cause nervouaness nor rhiRltig in head.
