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.

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

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. ?|

Hardware merchant, bailed him out. j,
Jim said after that he'd stick
Close as brick to good ol* Dick.
Sluce he left the I'ossum jail ^
Says he won't buy goods by mail; ^
Says Dick's cheaper, anyhow?
Might have saved some on the plow, On
the other goods some more, I,
At his ol' friend's hardware store.
Jim says, "We can't sell no truck
To such folks as Shears-Sawbuck.
They'll take all our cash away.
Rut won't buy our corn or hay."
That seemed purty strange to me
So I wrote them that night S
J 1st to see if Jim was right. V
Ast 'em what they'd pay for oats?
Ast 'em what they'd pay for goats? 1
Could they use some likely shouts? *
Had about four tons of hay ^
I could ship 'em right away.
Could I furnish Mr. Shears I
With his family roasting ears, j g
Also would my friend Sawbuck t
Ruy some of my garden tru^k?
Answer came one summer day. 1
Said they couldn't use our hay; (
Couldn't use our oats and shoats, i J
Didn't like our billy gouts.
When they needed truck to eat
Roupht It down on Water street? ^
Sorry, but they must refuse i *
Anything but cash to use. '
! I sat down and wrote 'em then; ^
"Hate to trouble you again, i
Hut I want to thank you. sirs.
For your bunch of cockle burs, 1
If you love your feller man, <
Do him good, sirs, when you can ? i
While our merchants sweetly sleep
Shears & Saw buck shear your sheep."
I
When women borrow trouble they
usually pay back double.
It doesn't take much dough to buy
u paste diamond. 1
