VOL. X MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JULY 10 NO. 4L BADLY FOOLED. A Clever Negro Posing as an In dian Lionized BY THE RICH PEOPLE Of New York and Other Northern Cities and Summer Resorts.--He Was Once the Guest of President Roosevelt at the Union League Club.-Exposed by Two Artists Who Knew Him Well. Those without the pale of New York society will no doubt be inter ested to learn that one of the lions of the Smart Set, who has been ex tensively entertained by Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. John R. Drexel and others, and whom President Roosevelt has consulted frequently in regard to Indian affairs, is no other than the son of Mrs. Russel Sage's negro cook says the New York American. Though known in the circles of the elite as Antonio Apache, grandson of the famous chief Cochise, this duskv Beau Brummel began life as a Louis iana pickaninny under the obscure name of "Tony Simpson." That such is the true identity of a man whom they- denounce as "the most fantastic fakir that ever fooled . New York." was declared by William M. Cary and Edwin W. Deming, both of whom are well-known New York painters of Indian life. "It is about time the true charac ter'of this imposter is made publicLy known," said Mr. Cary. "He is not only a fakir, but'a scamp. He is the same negro who stole a painting from me about nineteen. years ago. and in consequence served two years in Sing Sing prison." "The alleged grandson of Chief Cochise is a fraud,"-said Mr. Deming. t "I am glad the American is going to i expose him for he has been trading on the sympathies of a lot of good people who believed he was an In dian." Antonio Apache, according to the 4 testimony of Mr. Cary and Mr. Dem ing, has been able to exploit the credulity of the Smart Set for the last ten years because h'e made de ception an art. Not only did he ape the Indian in physical appearance but he also studied the habits and I language of the Redskin. On top of his African curls he has been accustomed to wear a wig of coarse black Indian hair. which he brushed almost as smooth as patent leather. Those who have won his (enfidence say that he posesses an elaborate assortment of scalps, with hair of various lengths, and that be I shifts from one wig to another. as his hair is supposed to grow. Finalry omes the "hair cut" when suddenly he jumps back into wig No. 1. Lest the natural ebon of his fea- Z tures should dispute his claim of In- t dian ancestry, he is said to tint his I skin with a sort of bronze paint, do- I ing it so skillfully,- that he has fren quently _osed to artists for "color." As the lion of Fifth avenue draw ing rooms Antonio Apache .has been 1 wont to tell of his early life. with a great amount of detail which seemedt corroborative. It was a far differ et st'ory than that revealed by the t wo artists who say he is a humbug. le made no mention to Mrs. Drexel. or Mrs. Astor of the fact that, about twenty years ago he used to help hisC negro mother peel potatoes and drain spinach in the Sage household. Instead he boasted that his grand-C father was the fearless chief Cochise,. and that his ancestral realm down min Arizona embraced a territory larger I than Conneticut. That country even i to this day, he said, bore his name. And when he was asked about the i habits and customs of the Apaches. he was always ready to describe them minutely, as if to evidence the 1 most intimate knowledge of his peo p Society first began ta entertain the alleged grandson of Cochise about two years ago, when Mrs. John R. Drexel -invited a select number of uests to meet him. He was calledi Prince Anthony by the most charmed ofi his admirers, and at once invita tions from the most exclusive homes of New York and Philadelphia began to be showered upon him. For a. time he dropped out of the social horizon only to appear a still1 reater favorite last Winter at a ball t the home of Mrs. John Jacob As tor. His dancing attracted special notice, and he was pronounced one of the most graceful figures on tne Acertain New York society editor wrote the following in his praise: "Socity loves a novelty, and of late it has'been delighting itself with en taning that splendid specimen of - lost race. Mr. Antonio Apache. a full blooded indian. who has the manners of a Chesterfield. the education of Gladstone and the beauty of a graven image. He is a most distinguished, and interesting man' and his society has been sought for by the leaders of the Four Hundred. Mrs. John R Drexel entertained him in ber box at the Horse Show, and he has been din d aud feted by the highest. Mr. \pache dresses in the latest fashion and carries himself with impressive dignity."_________ . 1LLED) ON BALL FIELD. Lightinhg Strikes Ohe Play:er Dead and Stuns Eight Others. At St. Anthony.

Wiley Rhodes, Who Had Difliculty With Negro. A special dispatch from Darling ton to The State says the fourth of July celebration was marred that night by the unfortunate killing of Lide Kilgo. aged 16, of Bishopville. The killing of young Kilgo was a most unusual affair. It seems that young Kilgo had gone to the fruit store of J. Wiley Rhodes for the pur pose of making a purchase. While in the store it appears that a negro named Sam Teague was there also and, it is alleged, had insulted the wife of the proprietor. Rhodes came out with pistol in and. with the intention, it is said, f resenting the insult to his vfe. In he melee which followed Rhodes' stol was discharged. the ball strik g the negro in the forehead. the ullet glancing, entered Kilgo's head ust between the eyes, killing him in ttantly. The negro, who was only slightly ,njured, made his escape, and at 10 'clodk Thursday night was being earched for and his arrest Is expect d. as a witness before the coroner's ury. The unfortunate young man, ac yompanied by his father, Mr. J. P. :ilgo, came over from Bishopville to E ttend the Fouth of July celebration. he elder Mr. Kilgo left in the after oon for Bishopville, leaving his son r ith some friends to return later. Mr. Rhodes, from whose pistol the atal bullet was discharged. is re arded as a good uitizen. and is a nger in the choir of the Baptist :hurch. The affair is greatly deplored in t arilngton. 1 Yqung Kilgo had just graduated at V e Bishopviile public school and ex- p cted to enter Furman .Jniversity e .t the approaching session.

Woman Said to Have Been Sold For Small Sum. Girl Was Bartered at the Age of Nine for an Old Horse and a Sum of Money. Leg,! proceeding have been insti tuted in Chesterfield County, Va., looking to the punishment of J. J. Crawley, a dairyman, who has kept an Anglo-Saxon woman in absolute slavery for the past 12 years. The commonwealth of Virginia was shock ed at the announcement of a case of "white slavery" in the state, especial ly within a few miles of Richmond. According to the woman's story and the story of the neighbors. she was deserted by her father when she was an infant. Her mother died be fore the child was old enough to re tain a memory of her name. Then she was sold at the age of nine years by her fosterfather in exchange for an old horse and a sum of money. She says she has been reared with the belief that she was absolute chat tel of her owner and had been forced to work with the men in the field. Her suit is being paid for by neigli ors who inaist that she has been treated as a slave. They have always known her as the "white slave." The girl is now 21 years of age. She answers to the name of Elean ora. From an old artillery man, who knew the girl's parents. the most complete story of her life has been learned. At the time she was born they lived on a farm, adjoining the Palmore place, near Richmond. Her father and mother came from Park ersburg, W. Va. The name of the man is recalled as Gulder or Gulden. The mother's name was Miss Lizzie urrin or Murrell. One year after marriage the child was born and the father dissapeared. The child was left with the Pal mores. who cared for her. The moth er died in poverty. The artilleryman declares that at nine years of age she was taken by J. J. Crawley in ex change with Palmore, the hermit. He says that after the exchange Pal more had a horse and money, but that a trade was made. It is the sup losition t1at Palmore, who is living, could tell the whole thing if he would He will be called to court. Until a few months ago the girl was in slavery according to the talk f the neighborhood. She worked in he fields and in the dairy, 'and was never permitted to visit among the eighbors. She was taken from the Crawley farm by the intervention of eighbors, who are pressing the suit in her behalf and have engaged at Lorneys. Dairyman J. J. Crawley, whose farm is in Chesterfield county, has made no statement as to his rights. e gives no reason for not paying ter for her work or for working her ilmost as a best. He simply says he .as papers to show that the young 'oman was not in peonage and that the law will not apply to the case. SLICK ROGUE. Rated Cafe Cashier Skips -With Five Hundred Dollars.

"Many false impressions have gain ed circulation about the movement," said Secretary Metcalf. "I have held all along that there was practically no significance to this movement from a military standpoint. I might have stated before leaving Washing ton exactly what I am saying now. But I thought that as the news con cerned the people of the Pacific coast, today would be an appropriate time to announce the plans. "It is the policy of the* navy de partment to keep the fleet in Amer can waters as much as possible. It is also our policy to keep as large a number of battleships together as possible. We might as welf spend Lhe money in American ports as broad. In- the past we have sent quadrons to. various European na ions with less advantage than by eeping them at home.. "I have planned this cruise around ape Horn for the practice of the quadron. How long the ships will emain here I cannot say. I can prom se the people of Oakland and San Francisco that they will see one of :he finest naval spectacles ever wit essed in Pacific waters.

The story that Ambassador oki is in disfavor with his own gov rnment. I believe, is purely'an In tention. I know of no reason why [apan and the United States should ot be on the friendliest of terms.
