VOL. XXIII MANNING, S. C. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST HIS RECORD CLEARED. OLD SWEETHEART SAVES SOLD [ER BETRAYED BY HIS WIFE. Shooting Affray of Three Years Stand ing Led to Sensational Incident in New England. The remarkable story of William Howard, who was betrayed into the arms of the law by his wife, and then saved from imprisonment by the testimony of a woman he had loved, but given up, is still the sensation of Southern New England. The ordi nary quiet city of New Bedford, Mass., was the center of the sensation, which occurred three yeaiu ago. The fatal shot was fired at Hazelwood park on the evening of July 12, 1905. The persistent work of the New Bedford police failed to clear the mystery, which surrounded the death of Edward D whurst. Clew after clew was taken up and aban doned. In .July, 1908, a few days after the anniversary of the shoot ing, his bride of ten months betrayed Howard to the police, cnaz on him with the -killing of Dewhurst. Her story was a sensation. The betrayal came as the result of a series of complications in Howard s life. It appears that on the night of the shooting the soldier was walking through Hazelwood park with a Miss Grace Strutevant. They were' assaulted by Dewhurst, who was- not known, to -either- Howard shot him in self-defense and he and Miss Sturtevant vowed never to tell the secret Suspicion was never directed to- them. Then Howard married another woman. He felt it a " duty to keep in touch with his former sweetheart that she might not change her mind, as his marri age was being kept secret. His wife became jealous. Howard then con fessed the killing to her and gave this as his reason for paying atten tion to the former sweetheart. Lat er the 'wife came to the conclusion that the devotion was too real. Then came her confession to the police. Since the trial the ocouple have been living apart. t 'Howard was arretsed, charged t with- manslaughter and tried on the c statement of his wife of an alleged a confession. At the hearing Miss b Sturtevant -testified she had been u with Howard on the ;mght of the shooting. ;: They were -walking to- b gether -hen a man stepped in front i of them-sand. pointed a revolver into t Howard's -face. He in turn pulled b his revolver and fired just in time b as the wounded .man's revolver e- t] ploded as be fell..

As it was a good-siz s ed hole w as knocked through the outside Wall of the building, while on the front a clean aperture that looked as if it might have been made Lt by a missle about the size of a base L ball, is to be seen. A considerable quantity of plast ering was torn from the ceiling in one of the front rooms, and pictures and ornaments on the mantel were thrown far and wide, and some of them broken and otherwise damag ed. The bolt seems to have struck one of the chimneys of the house and divided, a s part gassing down f the chimney on the outside, while the rest of the bolt went down the chimney. * EARTH IN CALIFORNIA. e d Wall Cracked and Crockery Broken by Two Shocks. t Three sharp earthquake shocks, -which knocked down more than a -hundred chimneys, shattered about s forty plrate glass windows in the gbusiness portion of Eureka, Cal., 0 broke much crockery in the houses -and sent many people scurrying from ~their beds into the streets, occurred :t there early Tuesday.

TALKS ON TARIFF ., BRYAN SPEAKS TO THE IOU e FARMERS. s d e He Arraigns the Republidens For D a manding Revision When ThE Have Had Power to Revise. W. J. Bryan delivered an exhau tive speech on the tariff at Des Moi: es, Iowa, Friday. He showed ho _ the Republican party has complete: abandoned the earlier argumen for a protective tariff because of "ix fant industries" and because tb "foreigner pays the tax." The have come to demand tariff revisio immediately after the election, whe it has been in their power for year to make revision. He discussed a length the action of the Paper Trus made possible because of the hig tariff on wood pulp ant. :r artic. es from which paper .. 3.ade. H sharply criticised the 100 per cen1 protection the Standard Oil is get ting to keep out its rival in Russia. In concluding Mr. Bryan state the Democratic position as follows: "The Democratic party has'declar ed for an income tax as a part of th revenue system, and for a constitu tional amendment as as means of se curing this tax. Secretary Taft an nounces in his notification speec that he is in favor of an income ta whenever the revenues are so low as to require it, and expresses his be lief that it is possible to secure sucl a tax without a constitutional amend ment. If it is possible to frame a law which will avoid the objections raised to the income tax law of 1894 well and good, but that is uncertain If an income tax is desirable, surely Secretary Taft 'cannot consistently oppose the adoption of a constitu tional amendment. If the principle is right and the tax wise. Congress ought to have autliority to levy and collect such a tax and no supporter .of Secretary Taft can oppose our position without dissenting from the Republican candidate. "The -whole aim of our party is to secure justice in taxation. We be lieve that each individual should con tribute to the support of the govern ment in proportion to the benefits which he receives under the protec tion of the government. We believe that a revenue tariff, approached gradually, according to the plan laid down in our platform, will equalize the burdens of taxation, and that tae addition of an income tax will make taxation still more equitable. If tne Republican party is to have the sup port of those who find a pecurniary profit in the exercise of the taxing power as a private asset in their business, we ought to have the sup port of that large majority of the people who produce the nation's wealth flag in time of war, and ask foi- nothing from the government but even handed justice. * TAK~ES HIS OWN MEDICINE.

KILLED HIS FATHER A: A FOUL TRAGEDY NEAR EUTA VILLE. Mr. Harry Clark, Aged Sixty-Sev Slain and His Body Concealed it Thicket by his Son. A letter from Eutawville to T 5 News and Courier, under date August 15, says that community w very much shocked Friday aft( :s noon upon hearing of the horrit L- death of Mr. Calvin W. Clark. 1 e Clark was missed by his relativ y and friends on Thursday mornin a but little was thought of this uni a Friday morning, when a little neg s boy Informed the eldest of M ,t Clark's sons, Newton Clark, that I had accompanied Jeff Clark, tl L youngest son, with the body of M - C. W. Clark in a wagon to a thick, e on a nearby plantation, called Brus Pond. Newton Clark then informed M W. B. Stroman, the man to whom I was hired, what the little negro b( had told him. Mr. Stroman came once to Eutawville and notified ti proper authorities. A party was once organized and a search con mened. This little negro boy, wit out hesitation, carried the party t a thick clump of bushes and tol them that they would find the bod in this thicket. When the party ex tered the thicket they saw what al parently was a pile of straw,but upo: a removal of the upper layer a: odor was detected, and upon furthe removal of the straw the body - wa found, with the face so badly mutil ated that the person was scarcely re cognizable. Suspicion, of course, rested upoi the youngest son, Jeff Clark, and h, was brought to tie scene imme diately, but he said that he knee nothing at all about the affair. Th< house where the father and the so were living together was thei searched, and blood stains wer< found upon the "set" dining table and on the floor under the table. Upon further investigation and in quiry, it was found that Jeff Clarl had gone to his brother, Newton Clark, early Wednesday morning and tried to borrow his pistol. Thii Newtcn Clark refused to give him and he went to a store nearby ani bought a can of concentrated lye and then returned to his father' house. Jeff Clark prepared breakfast foi his father as usual, and when Mr Clark had begun to drink his coffej he stopped suddenly, and said: "There's something wrong with mi: coffee, for it is barely warm and m3 mouth has begun to blister already.' Jeff Clark left the house then ver3 hurriedly, but returned during th day finding his father still alive Therefore, it was concluded that th fatal shot or shots were fired on th4 following morning. Jeff Clark was removed from the town jail Friday night, and carried on the Coast Line train to Ellore: for safe keeping, as there was somi fear of lynching. Later he was tak en to Monck's Corner, and put it jail, along with his mother, who is thought to know more of the mur der than she is willing to tell. Mer. A W. Clark was about 6' years of age, and lived on the placi of Mr. W. B. Dantzler. Jeff Clark i: about 21 years of age, and there ha: been apparently no ill feeling betweer him and his father. Jeff Clark thi murderer, is a bright mulatto, hi: mother is a negress, and Clark, the aged victim, was a white man. It was reported by Special Con stable B. Press Winter, who carried the Clark woman to the Monck'; Corner jail, that a determined ef fort was made near Eutawville t< lynch Jeff Clark, the crowd even go ing to the length of putting a ropi around the accused man's neck. Mr Winter also says that on the wa: over to Monck's Corner from Eutaw ville the woman told him enough o the crime to indicate that youni Clark is the umurderer of his father An effort will be made to secure bal for the woman, but it is not hough that young Clark would be wIling ti leave the safety of the county jai to face probable vilence outside even if bail would be granted.
