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.

; \v.' GRAFT
GALORE
HOW THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
BOBBED OP MILLIONS.
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The additional tobacco tax was repealed,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.

| The Condor, With a Crew of One
Rt
Hundred and Forty Men, Hailed j.
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

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

nanner, would obtain "what thoso

lamely, two additional hours of
ight.
This would leave the same aumlier

hours after business are the only

pleasure and exercise, the longthenng

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

cotton schedule was under consider- 1
ution In the Senate on Tuesday. 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

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

gislature passed a bill, this week,
rovlding that no lease for a flat

rohibitlng children from living

Women, as well as babies, como
i for protection from the legislate,
which has passed the "10onr
law," a hill providing that woen
and children shall not be reuired
to labor more than 10 hours
i 24. This bill is a blow aimed
