' BRUTAL FATHER #Whlps His Daughtar to Dtath With a Whip. THE BRUTE IN JAIL So Sever? W?n the DcAtinn Given the Girl by Her Inhuman Fathor That Her Skull Was Fractured by It, From the Effect* of Which She Died. A special dispatch from Lamar to the Columbia Record says word reached there on Tuesday afternoon that a young negro woman, daughter of Kills Woods, who lives on the place of Mrs. Board, near Carters ville, was dead under suspicious circumstances. Sheriff Blackwell. of Darlington county, upon being notified appointed Trial Justice J. W. Boykin to act as coroner. Judge Boykin went to the scene about 6 o'clock with a crowd of others and a coroner's jury was empaneled. Witnesses were examined and it developed that Ellis Woods had beat bis daughter, a girl of 18 years, until she died from the treatment Another daughter of Woods testified that he hnd beaten the dead woman with a wagon whip. There were cuts and bruises on her face and head and it appears that her skull was fractured. Woods claims that his daughter was complaining of feeling sick and that she fell out of the door and killed herself. The jury rendered a verdfct to the effect that the deceased came to her death at the hands of her father. Woods was carried to Lamar and placed in jail for safe keeping.

The Astounding Revelations Made by Senator lleverldge About tins Stealing of the Tobacco Trust, No revelation of the extra session has been more startling than that which Senator Beverldge made about the almost unbelievable graft of tho Tobacco trust for eight years, says the Washington Times. That was a case of legislative partnership with a trust in a project to fleece the peo pie. Somebody must havo been "fixed," "Greased," "oiled." It Is inconceivable that congress will plead guilty to such sublime Innocence and incompetence as would be testified by the explanation that nobody in congress saw what was being given to the Tobacco trust. Here is what happened: When the Spunish war taxes were imposed, the internal revenue duty on tobacco went up. The law was so arranged that tobacco dealers were permitted to sell underweight packages, deducting enough from the weight to compensate them for the increase in the internal revenue tax. Thus a "tobacoo pound' was considerably less than a 16-ounce pound; but it was legal because of this legislation. The tax was thus carried down to the consumer, and nobody particularly felt it. But when the war and the need of war taxes passed, what happened? The additional tobacco tax was repealed, but the trust's privilege of selling underweight -packages was not stopped. The trust was left collecting the war tax from the people, but pocketing it instead of turning it into the Federal treasury. By this process, in eight years, the trust has got away with $184,000,000 of the people's money. That money ought either to have been left in the pockets of the tobacco users, or else to have gone to Hie Federal treasury. In fact, it went to the coffers of the Tobacco trust. It is manifest that to repeal the war tax, but to forget to repeal the shortweight privilege must have been difficult and complicated. Some skilled person or persons must have steered that thing through congress with consummate cleverness. Whc did it? Was he an "inside worker' or an "outside man?" If he was an insider, his identity ought to be known, so that he can be duly de toaiea next election oy a betrayec constituoncy. If ho be merely a smart lobbyist. he should at least, be questioned alioiit. 1 methods b> which ho Induced committees and leaders and organizations to permit such a tremendous steal. Senator Heverldge has gone about this business in a fashion which indicates purpose to stick by it till the whole inwardness of this Strang* transaction is bared. The present $25,000,000-a-vear largess of the Tobacco trust should first be taker away; then the process by which congress was either befooled or corrupted should he investigated. It is a wondrous interesting circumstance that the trusts which seem most influential with congress are those which most often appear in tho criminal courts as defendants The Sugar trust has seldom been out of the criminal courts in the last two decades, on one charge or another or defrauding the government Its reward is the privilege of taking $660,000,000 in twelve years from the people. Why should such a special privilege be freely given to a criminal o! the most fixed and persistent criminal habits? The American Tobacco Company if now defendant in a great case brought by the government under the anti-trust laws, charging it with conspiracy in restrain of trado. That it is actually, if not techinally guilty, is the com moil knowledge. Does it not seem strange that it, too. should ; be able to have conferred upon it a special delegation of tho taxing power? Does congress have any particular preference for the great criminals? Its distribution of its favors seems to suggest something of the kind. Kills Man and Mule. A bolt of lightning killed Jim Ryrd, a negro plough hand, on the plantation of Mr. J. A. Clinkscales. south of Anderson, and the fine mule he was working. Same Clinkscales. the young son of Mr. Clinkscales. who was ploughing two hundred yards awav, was knocked down and badly stunned, and liis mule was also knocked down by the bolt. Victim of Lightning. William Camp, a farmer, wa*; killed by lightning at his home on North Pacelet River, 19 miles from Spartanburg Tuesday afternoon. William Simmons and his family of five rhildren in the retnie section were terribly shocked hv a holt that sei Rre to their home. ________ Refuses to Ojhmi Case.

From Ksquimalt mid Has Never In Ileen Heard From Since Sailing ? ai Until Found a Short Time Ago. r| The wreck of the British sloop of g war Condor, whose fate and that of the 140 officers and men forming P her company have been one of the 11 mysteries of the sea since Decern- c her 3, 1001, has been located, sub- a merged In comparatively shallow wa- c ter, about one and a half miles off h snore at Long Ueach, mid-way be- e tween the southern entrance to Berk- c eley Sound and the settlement of n Calyoquot, on the west coast of Van- n couver Island. The wreckage is t about fourteen miles distant from d the village of Clayoquot and seeming- r ly rests upon an uncharted reef, of l which there are many in the vicini- r ty of Long Beach and W reck Bay, 1 which adjoins it. The news of the discovery of the r long missing sloop of war was r brought from the coast by Bonney- 1 castle Dale, an English naturalist i and Journalist, who has communl- 1 cated his discovery to the British t Admiralty. He regards the evidence i of identity as incontrovertible, and t ' it is expected that immediate inves- I tigations will be made by the admi- i rality upon his report. The principal ] obstacle in the way of salvage oper- i ations is believed to be the prevail- i ing heavy swell-met within this loi cality in the calmest weather. 1 A surface wave beyond the line of i : the barrier reef that fronts the bay i : marks the spot where the vessel is . , supposed to lie. A few weeks ago a ' I spar stamped with the udmirality i ? mark, with nitches patched with copper in naval style, after being vis- 1 s ible four days, floating attached to I ; the wreck beneath, drifted ashore, i Upon the same beach some time ago ; s there drifted a jib boom spar stamps ed "Condor." a life buoy similarly i marked and several signal rocket ? cases marked with the name of the ' ill-starred vessel, mute testimony or i the .whereabouts of the long missing ? sloop. About a mile and a half out from I Long Beach the surface ripples over i the ship that is supposed to be the ! sepulchre of one hundred and forty ' officers and men of His Majesty's I navy. At high tide it is hardly vlsll bio hut at extreme low tide the sea Hollo ulvnut !?? ?* * * ? nuuut me ousLTUcnon. Half ' a dozen residents of the west coast . who have pone out to the spot in ? smooth water and at low tide declar( ed that the hulk of the submerged ship is plainly visible. On the morning of December 3. i 1901, the sloop of war Condor, in . company with H. M. S. Warship, left 1 . ICsquimalt, the former never to return. The Condor was bound for . Honolulu and Tahiti heavily laden l with coal for a long cruise and carry5 ittg a large consignment of mails for . the British inhabitants in the isolated South Sea Island. In the straits a strong southeast > gale prevailed and the war ships parted company, the Warspite con- ! tinning on her way south and the i - Condor starting to carry out gun , practice at the entrance to the straits 1 prior to making for Honolulu. I Whether this gun practice was car- ! - rled out has never been ascertained. 1 Outside the straits that fateful night ' a terrified storm was raging, which . compelled every vessel in the region ? , to tight for life, and in this storm i , the Condor was seen for a brief t moment, laboring heavily and flying c signals of distress, by Captain James i Iloyd, now of the Bank line steamer ( Aymeric, and then In command of 1 the south bound lumber ship Spring- 1 bank. t Naturally the name of the strug- l gling waship was not made out, but * there was no doubt of her Identity t in the minds of Captain Boyd and j his officers. They did not go to s the supposedly disabled gun boat's f assistance. Indeed, they gavo her s scant thought or attention at the a time, as they were having all they t could do to save their own ship and o their lives. This was the last seen of the Condor or any of her com- ii pany. The flmnter * ihici rencnen ti Honolulu and gradually her name t! passed into history as identified with * one more of the tragic mysteries of a the sea. S Toward the end of that December d a stern sqiff and lifebuoy with the li name "H. M. Condor" on were 1, picked up in the neighborhood of sj Wreck Hay. Theories are numerous d> as to the fate of the vessel and the f< 140 lives she carried. ol The same night was responsible 'or another mystery of the North ] Pacific. The collier Mattewan left Nnnnimo for San Francisco on Docember 2 and never reached her port. Some believe she foundered. Some say she crashed into the Condor and both vessels were sunk. I The Condor was of similar typo to the Algerlne and the Shearwater, *''' now at Ksquimalt Station. She had a very low free hoard, and tho the- k. orv has been advanced that sho ship- to ped a tremendous sea. and before ftn it had time to run through, tho snippers were struck by another, which caused her to founder. Another fa- an vored theory is that her coal cargo shifted in the gale, and that, she co turned turtel. An investigafion of the wreck beneath the waves off Long Beach may throw light, on the mys- on terlous happening and will doubtless co disclose the bodies or many or the 'ot bluejackets penned beneath decks sfr when the ships went to their doom. r MORE DAYLIGHT HE MOSt VALUABLE THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. * 'liy Not Have Two Hour* More of It When It Dock Not font You | Ouo <Vnt? If. on May let of each year, the j andard of time throughout the nlted States wns advanced two nurs, so that what is now five clock become seven o'clock, etc., ad changed back to our present andard on October 1st. it would add retaly to the health, comfort and leasure of all, through the sumler, without necessitating any I hange as to daily habits, or create 1 ny more confusion than Iff a West- I ra men went to some puint East, jiving a time one or two iiours fastr than that tn which ?? wuh ustomed, but would give two hours dditional light for reci>-ation and lealth-giving, and the use of two of he coolest and best hours of the lay for labor. Americans, in this nanner, would obtain "what thoso n England greately enjoy today, lamely, two additional hours of ight. This would leave the same aumlier >f hours for business au<l sleep as iow, and would give two better hours or the day's work, and two addttonal hours of daylight to the evenng hours, which today are too short o be of much benefit to tho*? livng any considerable distance from heir place of business, and, as the hours after business are the only jortion of the week-day devoted to pleasure and exercise, the longthenng of same would be appreciated by ill. Nothing is more conducive to health than outdoor exercise, tuch is ball, tennis, golf, boating, bathing, gardening, etc., so why not readjust the hours devoted to business, sleep, and pleasure to the benefit or all? Thousands of families would, under these .circumstances, move Into the country or suburbs, who are nowheld back by the fact that the men at the present time could not reach their homes until too late to get much benefit from a move of this kind. As elderly persons and children are given to early rising, the breakfast hour will become more regular, and many annoyances of today will be avoided, and. during the heated term, it should prove of special benefit to the school children. As a rule, nearly every rrroposcd rule, law, or custom works a positive injury or hardship to many who rlub together and bring about much opposition; it delays and discourages those interested in its juissage, but, in this case, as no property is destroyed or depreciated, no one can be interested in opposing it. and it is one of the few changes that could be made to benefit all citizens of each and every state in exactly the sanio proportion, and i?ot call for the expenditure of money by the government, State or people. Railroads would not be compelled to change their time-tables, as all trains would leave in future at the same hour as today. Ixical travel would be greatly increased, additional money put In circulation by the purchase of such things as are used for pleasure j and recreation, and additional value would be given to what already exists iu the way of parks. play grounds, gardens, resorts, boating and bathing facilities, tennis courts, tutomobiles, carriages bicycles, etc.. tc. In England, though they enjoy in summer time the benefits to lie deuced from a movement of this kind, hey are endeavoring to establish a Mistom to more closely follow the novements of the sun, which would >nahle them to gain millions of dolars paid out each year for artificial ight. This change is being opposed, lowever, by every gas and eleetric ight company, and their stockhold rs In every village and hamlet hroughoul the kingdom, so that the iropoHed movement in America hould not be confused with that ?eing agitated in England. and hould be accomplished at a eompartively early date, from the verv fact hat is injures none and would be f great benefit to millions. To be beneficial and not confusing, j is necessary that the law or cusmn become universal throughout he United States. It has no political ignificance, so all should lend their id to the movement. Talk it up. ee that your friends thoroughly unerstand it. Remember that milons in England, for centuries, have 1 eon accustomed to exactly these 1 imo hours and its benefits. If you '' ? not need these additional hours 1 >r recreation on yourself, aid in ' btaining it for those who do. ?IIT,K KILLED liY LIGHTNING. s 1 t wo Colored >len Driving i? llad : f Narrow Kscnpo. r The Columbia Record says a mule o longing to Wilson Herbert, color- $ I. was killed on Sunday afternoon t r lightning in the road near Mrs. $ S.

The 1 following write-up of the speech w-as * furnished The News and Courier by ' its Washington correspondent: "The whole tendency of this leg- * i islation has been to cheapen the raw * material and raise the price of the * ! finished article," said Mr. Smith, f thereby giving to the protected 1 manufacturer a double advantage, lessening the price of what he has 1 to buy and raising the price of what f he has to sell. "I am not pleading for, nor sbtflt 1 I vote for, protection for the raw * material. I believe a thing is worth ' what It will bring in the open mark- 1 eta of the world. What 1 shall vote 1 against is the Iniquitous* and inde- ' feasible system of legislating a profit 1 by artificial methods. 1 believe that American skill and the wonderful J mechanical devices operated by steam, water and electricity, our 1 nearness to the source of supply for ' the raw material makes it possible ( for us to compete with the nations of the world." Senator Smith said It was absolutely idle to talk abont the protec- ' tive tariff being a benefit to the cot- ' ton and grain growers of America. In support of his position, Mr. Smith quoted, though not by name, a "leading manufacturer of the South," who, he said, had told hint that he believed it was right aiul just that the protective feature at the turifl on cotton goods should be entirely wiped out. The protection of the Government. asserted Mr. Smith, giving such a margin of profit, has invited and brought into tJhe cotton manufacturing business "a lot of financial buccaneers and plungers, who, by the ' marvelous profits that could bo figured. possibly on paper, put on foot impossible schemes, which have resulted dlsasterouly to the milling I indUHtry of the country." Ho said that what is true of the cotton ih- ! (lustry is largely true of every other manufacturing industry. "The monstrous injustice of this hill is made in two particulars." continued Mr. Smith. "This bill de- ' dares that it is for the purpose of encouraging American industries and guaranteeing to them a reasonable profit, while on the other hand, in sharp contrast with it in the bill, is incorporated a tax on the very . fertilizing element upon which the agricultural laborer is dependent for the enrichment of his soil. This ammonia, or this nitrogenous ele- , ment that is so costly and so essential in the production of this crop, must be taxed because of a few coke and ( gas companies, who, already protect- . ed and making their millions, canmot be denied the privilege of maklfig other millions out of that which the fjoVerument ought to see that the farmer gets at the lowest pos- , | slide price." j During the course of his speech ( Mr. Smith read some., interesting , figures to bear out his contention v that the protective tariff worked a hardship upon the people of the South, who had to pay most severely for the prosperity enjoyed by the t] manufacturers. The eleven cotton growing States last year produced $716,352.265 worth of raw cotton, he said, and $90,000,000 worth of cotton seed. This cotton they had to put upon the market at a price fixed by Liverpool. That price was fixed in Liverpool upon the basis ( of the cost of labor in Europe and ' the price at which they sold the 11 finished product. ' "Therefore the whole American 1 cotton crop is sold upon the basis ~ of free trade." said Senator Smith tc "so that, in the cotton growing ir States, according to the census fig- oi ures of 1900, there are enM??d (?? n. agricultural pursuits 4.000.000 peo- A pie, and their average earnings for ni the year are $133. ot "Taking the outcome duties on l'' articles imported, such as are used .hi tiie farms, there are consumed r<" ihout $06,357,000 worth. Taking he consumption of domestic man- Wt u fact u red goods, the proportionate tu art of the South is $2,885,000,000. The indirect tax paid on this con- KO sumption, due to protection, is ('u 1855,000,000. Now this for the enire South, regardless of the work co mgaged in. Dividing this by the *? lopulation of the South, the taxation ter capita due to these duties paid SP' n domestic and foreign articles is f'n 61 in round numbers.

Southern States BUY PR Machinery Plumbing OOL.UME CAN'T AGREE LXD WILL ARBITRATE THEIR DIFFERENCES. die Georg&a Railroad and the White Firemen Will Soon Settle Their Trouble. Unable to agree on terms of a ettlenient, says a dispatch from At unta, the officials of the Georgia tail road and of the Brotherhood of firemen have invoked arbitration inder the Erdman law. It was neary 7 o'clock Monday night when Commissioner of Labor Neill and Chairman Knapp. of the Inter-State :ommerce commission, reluctantly tave up the battle to bring the waring elements together. Commissioner Neill notified both j parties to the dispute to select an j irbltrator within five days. Those wo men will select a third. The Grdman Act provides that should the :wo arbitrators be unable to agree upon the third member of the commission. be will be named by Knapp tnd Neill. The decision of the arblirators is made binding upon both parties by law. As expected the disagreement :anie over the retention of negroes. The firemen first demanded the dismissal of all negroes. This was refused flatly by the railroad. After considerable labor on the part of Messrs. Neill and Knapp, the firemen submitted another proposition. They agreed that those negroes now employed or who were employed prior to April 10. should be retained on their present footing. Recent promotions of negroes had been cancelled before the men returned to work. They demanded that all white liremen should have seniority over all negroes. That is. if a white fireman was employed today, he would rank ahead of all negroes no matter how long they were in the service, when it came to promotion to better runs. In addition, they asked that at no time should the total number of negroes employed exceed 2T? per cent of the white firemen on the company's pay-roll. If nt any time the null) 1h>r of negro employees dropped below 2T> per cent no more were to be employed. It is said that the Georgia Railroad might have consented to this were It not for the opposition of the terminal company. When it was seen that agreement was impossible the Federal otlicials gave up the fight and ordered that the dispute go to arbitration. When the men returned to work Saturday afternoon the road agreed that tho status of April 1 should be restored. It was upon that dute that the trouble began. The company had then promoted several negroes to good runs and removed white firemen to make room for them. Already the company has restored the white firemen to the runs they held jp April 10. All other disputed icints and demands were conceded ;xceot the seniority of white men and he limitation as to the number of U'gioes employed. The white firemen claim that negro firemen are not held to a strict mforcement of the rules as are the he whites, and they intimate that he policy of the road seemed to he o discharge whites at every opporunity and replace them with blacks, vho get less wages. General Maniger Seott denies this and declares lis willingness to agree to a strict nforcement of all rules against tho leg roes. HlwHiting at I'niou.
