HE GAVE UP. Allen Emerson, Murderer of Mr. 11 Drake, Voluntarily Surrenders ENTERS ON LIFE TERM. 1 A Reward ot $1,100 Was Offered for ? His Capture.?He Says He Is Not Worried About the Crime He Com^ in it ted. But Was Remorseful Because It Was Suspected "That He Hud Been Aided in Escape. Allnn Fmoraon ' ? ? wu?iv,ifU, in ur- * derer, refugee from Justice, with a 1 staudiag reward of $1,100 for hlB , capture dead or alive, gave himself , up to the authorities of Anderson county and donned the garb of a convict at the South Carolina Penitentiary. He was in hiding for five ' months and up to the very minute that he walked out into the middle of the lone public road in the southern part of Anderson county la6t Saturday night, and revealed himself to an oflicer of the law his whereabouts were a mystery to the authorities. Emerson was delivered to the penitentiary authorities Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock by Sheriff Qreen of Anderson county. Fmerson was shaved and got the regulation hair cut and a brand new suit of stripes and was registered on the entry book as No. 17,62 9. After being weighed and measured and a genoral Inventory registered Emerson sat down and told the following story of his escape and wanderings: "I did SherlfT Green u dirty trick by breaking out of jail and going off leaving him to be criticised," Bald Emerson. "I never had a better friend in all the world than that man, and I haven't got a better friend than him today. I was a long ways from home?I don't care to say exactly where?when my conscience told me that I must come back und give up. I had llgured on going farther, God knows where? just further away. But that thought that I had done Sheriff Green a low down trick stayed with me. I saw in the newspapers where he was suspected of aiding me. Finally I made up my mind to come back and from V, ~ ^ ~ T * J ^ * 4t * um uu; 1 LUIUl'U Uiy ITUCKH 1(1 ID1H direction I never for a minute thought of turning back. The nearer I got to my old home the better I felt. "Saturday I reached the Savannah river and rowed across in a batteau. I had two good pistols with me, loaded all around, and no one looking for the big reward should have taken mo. I had made up my mind to come back and surrender and I did not want anybody to get any of the reward. I didn't want Sheriff Green of the State or the relatives of the man that I killed to have anything to pay. I just wanted to give up. "I made up my mind ot go to the house of Will Adams, a magistrate's constable, who lives about 13 miles from Anderson. I was on my way to his house when I met him in the road. He was in a buggy. I don't believe he would have recognized me but I called out and asked if that was Bill Adams and he said it wus. I told him who I was and what my purpose was. He said he would bo glad to take me to Sheriff Green's and turned his buggy around right there in the road and carried me straight to the sheriffs house. He told the sheriff that I surrendered tn him on tho forma hot nn ran? o r-A was to be paid. "I was sure glad to get back and put myself in SherifT Green's hands again. It's an awful thing to be in this place, but I feel better than I did any day I was away because the thought that I had done my best friend an injustice left me?it Just made me miserable and if I hadn't come back I never would have seen any peace. I wouldn't be in this trouble now if I had listened to that man, but that's done and there uin't no use to talk about that now. "It wasn't the crime that worried me. I killed Drake and the Judge sentenced me here for life and I am here to serve my sentence. I don't believe I should have been found guilty of murder in the first place, but I am here and I've got nothing to say against the court's decision now. It wasn't the crime, but it whs the thought that I had done Sheriff Green a mean trick, that brought me back?and the Jailer?I want to clear them both." Emerson was asked to tell about his escape, and this i6 his story about that feature of the affair: "I was In tho upstairs part of the Jail and nobody else was up there. ' One day, about a week, I guess, before I got out some plumbers were up there fixing something about the sewer and they had to go back to the court house for some tools or something. They left their things In the jail and while they were gone I hid a piece of the solder. They never mlsed it. anyway I never heard anything about it if they did. "I knew the shape of the key that unlocked the door which led up the upstairs cells for I had been deputy sheriff nnder Sheriff Green two years and had handled the key hundreds of times. I went to work on that piece of solder to make a key. "A small knife which was left in the Jail by a prisoner who had gone was the only thing I had to work with. I used this to cut the key out of the solder. Of course, the first time I tried It it didn't work, but by turning it in the lock I ?.ould see Just how and where it needed to be trimmed and cut and I kept on working at it until I had it all ? . made so it would do the work. "About a quarter of one o'clock on the night of August 20. 1907. I unlocked the door and slipped down the stairway into the Jaller'6 offlco, turned the thumb-latch on the out- ( side door 'which is not a steel door) , ANNUAL REPORT. nteresting Statement on Condition of County Dispensaries. looks In Good Condition?Cost of Office Not Heavy?Aggregate Sales Very Large?Tabulated Statement. Mr. W. B. West, the State dispenlary auditor, Thursday submitted lis first report to the general assembly, showing the operation of the :ounty dispensaries since their establishment In March. The report ;oes into tho work of systematizing the books in each county and explains how each book is kept. All }f these books have been examined and Mr. West has met from time to Lime with the county boards and ad/Ised them as to the management of the business. The only shortage discovered during the year was in Columbia when one of the dispensers was $1,500 short in his accounts. This amount was paid up. Outside of this case the books and accounts have been well kept. Mr. West says that "the cost of this office from the time it was opened in March to the 31st day of December was $4,100.47. The aggregate gross sales made by all the dispensaries in the State was $2,691,663.43. The total net profit was $695,056.61. By a comparison of these figures it is seen that the cost of maintaining this office was 8-20 of 1 per cent, of the groBB sales, or 3-5 per cent, of the net profit earned. "After having had 10 months experience in the work it is my opinion that it can be done in accordance with the law if I am given the assistance of two competent clerks and a stenographer, but as it stands now it is a physical impossibility for me to cover tho territory in the limited time required by law."

A sensational shooting occurred during the lunch hour Wednesday in the restaurant of a large Headway department store in New York. At a time when the room was crowded, mainly with women, a young woman entered, and walking rapidly to a table at which Frank Brady, an advertising solicitor was sitting, shot him causing instant death. She then shot and killed herself. and went out that and then climbed the wall and got down by resting my foot on a little house which stands just outside the Jail yard. "I won't say Just where I went to, no where I have been since I have got out, but this I will say, I crossed several States und ta one time figured on going a mighty long wove f ?*nm hnmn /\nlu fKo# Krvn i about tho trick I played on Sheriff Green kept working on me until I made up my mind to come back, and I walked most of the way from where I was back to Anderson. I slept all right at night, but while I was awake the thing troubled me. "There ain't a better man in the world than Sheriff Green and I am Juat as glad as can be that I came back. It was a dirty trick, a mean, low trick and I am sorry I ever did it. That man's been too good to me for me to treat him that way, but It is all right now, as much all right as I can make it." Allen Emerson was convicted of having shot and killed Thomas F. Drake, August 12, 1906. Drake had a daughter to whom he hadn't spoken for thirteen years. The woman had married William Bailey, who was alleged to have been the author of her downfall. But Bailey disclaimed this and deserted the woman. She two years later became a mother and alien Emerson was alleged to have been visiting her clandestlvely. In consequence of her immoral conduct, her father became completely bstranged from her. AWFUL TRAGEDY In a Crowded Cafe in the City of I New York. MURDER AND SUICIDE. Frank Brady, Newspaper Advcrtis- ] ing Solicitor, Made Target tor Five Pistol Balls from Weapon in the Hands of Woman at Whose House He Had Boarded, Which Created a Panic in Cafe. The was a terrible tragedy enacted in a crowded cafe In the city of New York on Thursday. Sweeping through the crowded restaurant takes up the eighth floor of Macy's department and Into the gentlemen's cafe, a tall, stylishly dressed woman bent for a moment over the shoulder of a diner, whispered something In his ear and then drawing a revolver from her muff emptied the contents of the five chambers into his body. As the victim, Frank Brady, a newspaper advertising solicitor, slipped lifeless to the floor, the woman flung the revolver from her and taking a second revolver from her muff shot herself first in the head, and then twice In the breast. She died half an hour later. A note fuond in the woman's purse proved her to bo Mrs. Mary Roberts Clark, a manicurist, the widow of a police officer and stepmother of a six-year-old son, Raymond. Brady was thirty years old and the sole support of a helpless aged mother, for whom he had made a home. The shooting was the culmination of a series of violent quarrels, and, according to the woman's Intimates, in fulfillment of a threat to murder Brady in a public place. The suicide, who was about thirty years years old, wus Mary McLean when she marired John Roberts. When the later died a year ago she assumed the name of Clark and supported herself and child first as the wardrobe woman at an up-town theatre and then a manicurist. She was of a prepossing appearance and had marked business ublllty. While she was In prosperous circumstances and before the death of her husband Brady had lodging at her home, and she declared that she had helped him to the success which he subsequently attained. A few months ago he left her home and made a home for his mother, whom he brought from New Jersey. Recently Mrs. Clark thought that Brady was avoiding her. and when he called at her home- orensslnnniir they quarrelled. Thursday Mrs. Clark went to her hank, made a cash deposit, wrote a note Identifying herself and referring the reader to her attorney, and armed with three revolvers went to the store where she knew Brady usually lunched. She made her way hastily to u small smoaklng room for gentlemen Just off the dining hall. The big room was filled with women who were lunching after the morning's shopping, and amid the buzz of the conversation her agitated manner attracted the attention only of the waltressesss. In a moment she stood behind Brady's chair and spoke to him. Before he had time to reply she had shoved a revolver In his face and commenced firing. The head, the neck, the shoulder, the breast and the abdomen were successively pierced by bullets, and Brady lay dead at her feet. Giving one glance to the half dozen men nearby who were momentarily stunned by the pitiless murder. Mrs. Clark whipped another weapon from her furs and put a bullet near her right ear and two others In her bosom. The report of the discharges created consternation and there was a rush for the elevators. Employees of the place quickly closed the doors, shutting off the view of the smoaking room and reassuring the women patrons, few of whom realized what had occurred. The police broke the news to Brady's aged mother and the Gerry Society took charge of the dead woman's body. t SHE CAPTURES HIM. A Frail Little Woman Held IlurgluiUntil Police Came. At Waterbury. Conn., Mrs. Lizzie Wolff, a frail woman, wife of Adrian F. Wolfe, superintendent of the tool room in the Scoville company's works, held up a flat thief in their home on Ridge street Friday night, made him disgorge, and then with a revolver, held him cowed in a corner until the police arrived, eighteen minutes later. Ho is Arthur Itosontha!, a Boston crook, sentenced for burglary in Concord, March 28, 1D06 and having a long criminal record. Mrs. Wolff was at supper when, hearing a noise, she grabbed a revolver. swung the electric switch lighting the apartment, and found him ransacking her chamber. t Bank Your Money, The Newberry Observer gives this good advice. "If you have any money put it in the bank. Don't keep it about the house as a temptation to thieves and robbers. Banks are safe. Not one in a thousand ever falls. A railroad engineer in Augusta had $1.R00 stolen from his residence one night last week. It has not been many years since a good woman of this county had $1,300 stolen from her premises aud ? good man had $700 from his. The bank Is the place for your moeny until you get ready to spend it. Of course one ought, to keep a little loose change about him for convenience; but home is no place for laying up money for saving.' i. * i THE RACE ISSUE I Mscussed Before the Members of the General Assembly. MORE WHITE PEOPLE Veeded tii this State.?Sees in This the ?nly Solution of tho Itace Question.?Constitution of 1803 Was But a Temporary Subterfuge Which Must Loose Efficiency.? Favors Immigration. Before several hundred people Senator B. R. Tillman Thursday night delivered in the State capitol an address on immigration us it affects the race question. He spoke in responce to an invitation from the general assembly. The address lasted not quite two hours and was closely followed by those present. His utterances on the Immigration question are perhaps his first from a platform in this State and were therefore of particular interest to the members. On the race problem the senator touched, arguirg in the main for a repeal of the lbth amendment of the constitution of the United States, but his main argument was that South Carolina needs more settlers of the right sort, the kind authorized in the act creating the department of agriculture, commerce aud Immigration, and the only way to get these settlers is by advertising the advantages of South Carolina? u plan now being used in the West, where there are also many advantages, where wages are higher and where the negro is not met in competlon. Senator Tillman anaylized the result of his lectures in the North, told of the dlsappearence of sectional feeling and closed with a strong plea for more education of the whites, calling attention to the growing ex rent or rue education of the negroes, pointing out the fact that the constitution of 1895 was only a temporary remedy and emphasizing the growing danger of the use of the educated negro for political purposes. After being introduced by Lieut. Gov. McLeod he expressed his gratification on account of the invitation and declared that he would try to comply with Its terms. He believes the discussion of immigration and the race question to be so closely Interwoven that one can not bo handled without the other. There is still a wide divergence of opinion on the race question, but he is not disposed to quarrel with those who differed with him. He is willing to debate his views with any one, however, because he believes he is right. He is now three score years of age and he had found that young men who were infants in the days of Hampton. Gary and 1876 are undertaking to lay down rules of conduct on the subject. Sees u Crisis. He believes that the most dreadful crisis is ahead of us and claimed thut he could prove it to an intelligent audience. Some huve Bald there is no race problem; that it was solved by the convention of 1895; that the negroes are now quiet, why stir it up? These very men were opposed to this convention and as "I was one of those who advocated the convention I have a right to speak and show that everything Is not quiet." It is true that the new constitution disqualified many negroes and that the government Is now conducted by white men, but his analysis of conditions is that despite the educational and suffrage qualifications, the expedient is only temporary, not a remedy but the beet that could be done at the time. Therefore he wanted to warn the people that the terms of the constitution requiring a man to read and write or pay taxes on $300 of property before he could vote, might react. The report from every county showed that more negroes were going to school than white children. There are more of I them. I He reviewed the work of the constitutional convention of 1868, which he said was attended by three-fourths negroes and nearly all the carpetbaggers. The people seemed to forget the negro rule of eight long years that followed. Of course this can not return, but something worse can. The school attenCance by the negroes shows that, at our expense, they are now getting the ability to read and write and can comply with the requirements of the constitution. He was not one to object to their education. but how long would It be before enough of them can read and write to equal the white vote and then balance the power? He wna not objecting to the negro schools; he wanted to emphasize this, but they are here. The 14th and 15th amendments are staring us In the face and the Southern people are manacled to them. With the millions of dollnrs being poured into the South for negro education it can ^not be denied that in the future there will be a strong struggle for mastery?no doubt urged by unprincipled white men who wish power. And yet it is charged that "Tillman is running up and down the country making money < n lectures on the rao question. ' Those who believe this were characterized as either ostdche.t. who hid from danger by stiking their hend.in the sand, or fools. Nothing has saved the South trom the negro being the balance of power but the Democratic primary. He referred to North Carolina and "the rapture of that State by Pritchard." Such a thing would not happen in South Carolina In his day. Immigration the Remedy. Coming to a question of remedy he wanted to say first that the problem SHEARS & SAWBUCK. j 1 i The Pathetic Tale of Two Far- \ mors Who Bought Away i i From Home Things That They Should Have Bought at Home From the Country Merchant. Shears & Sawbuck kept a store Such as never was before. City folks they wouldn't sell, Wouldn't let them have a smell. Fetched their money?but by Jlns! Couldn't buy a blessed thing! Couldn't meet 'em face ? fuce An' then sell 'em with good grace. Country trade was what they sought; Folks would pay for what they bought 'Fore they saw it, hide or tail. They sent catalogues by mail Out to ev'ry blessed one Gittln' mall at Possum Run. We set tip nights and read When we'd orter been in bed. Hook was 'bout as big as sin? Had a lot of pictures iu. And a list of merchandise, Ev'ry kkind and every size? Givin' prices that they swore Knocked out ev'ry country store, Looked so straight and seemed so true I bit at it?and Jim did, too. had not yet been safely solved but ho believed there was only one answer | to the question?the whito race must bo reinforced. We have no race suicide or divorce and we have the purest blooded citizenship in America with the most glorious history. All this should nerve us to get at once more white men und women iu South | Carolina. Iu his travels across the continent he had noticed that other States want more settlers and a great many of these States have far more udvuntages and it could be euslly understood why the people are not breaking their necks to get here. "It's a good State, but a great many coldblooded people will see the gulleyB aud the swamps and may go elsewhere." However there are things iu this State wo have to offer and these advantages can be displayed. He has found people who do not want newcomers. He would like to udopt that theory, but conditions are such that j settlers are needed and are necssary. ] As to what kind ar best, he declared that ho had a fellow feeling for the English, German and Irish, having that blood in his veins. He, however. In going through this State was struck with the good stock, the pure blood and the fact that every citizen was proud of the State. More of this kind are needed. The general assembly a few years ago passed a bill for a department of immigration. Npw what Is wanted are homeseekers. Those of us who have thousands of acres of land and are facing labor trouble with the negroes, realizing that the negroes are more and more independent, know that something must be done. The difficulties grow day by day and what would be the result of an Influx of 200,000 people who seek to become South Carolinians? Can we expect them to come here, however, when the advantages of the West, with its high wages, are being constantly advocated everywhere and the government spending millions of dollars on the desert land? He had served notice, however, that if this government was going to put water on the desert lands of the West he expected the government to take the water off of the lands of tha coast of South Carolina. But suppose this Is done. The settler will find the negro there, five and 10 to one. He believes firmly that immigration Is the solution. True, he did not believe In the certain classes now pouring into the country, but the other kind make good citizens and they are needed. . . Fifteenth Amendment. When Lee surrendered at Appomattox we knew that the Union was one and that slavery existed no long er. Hut wo did not know that sectional lintred would make the North forget all the long past and declare the. negro us good as the white. While Radicalism has been thrown off temporarily there is only one definite and permanent remedy?the repeal of the 15th amendment. He was told that he was the only Southern representative who udvocated this. He had talked to hundreds of Northern audiences and found that they had very little use for the negro, although they wanted his vote and are consequently very polite to the colored brother. It was a question with him, he said, whether or not it was not time for the South to unite and call for the repeal of this amendment. if the South never asked for it they would never get It. In roaming over the land he was able to bring the news back that secMonal feeling was dead. There were a few old men who still cling to the old ideas. Hut there are many who have come South during the Spanish-American war, have invested their money here and have visited here and they have the same ideas we have. He claimed that he had aroused more enthusiasm in Wisconsin than here on the matter of white supremacy; he had followed his old style of hand primaries and usually secured a unanimous vote. It is now a question of nerve or courage to secure a repeal of this amendment and the South should demand it. He wishes to have credit, for foresight. He wanted, however, to press upon the people the fact that the time will come when the negro vote in the South will count. More white men are needed and we can not got them we must say to the North that this amendment must be repealed. The question must be pressed upon them bcause the North knows nothing about it. Every day he sees evidence of more and more friction between the races. He had no purpose of creating more of It, but all that he wished say was that South Carolina would never submit to negro domination. ?| rim's my neighbor, cross the way? 3est man ever worked In hay, rust let him top off a stack? sheds rain like u turtle's back. tl< Pleasure Jest to see him work, S'ever knew ol' Jim to shirk; Swings a scythe like It was play& St Love to watch him in the way. u Well; we,like-a pair of fools, K0 Sent off?got some hayln' tools.
