Hrl wag hanged at Camden Friday
unfiling at the county jaid at about (
liven o'clock for the murder of
Idler John Cook. The following acetfunt
of the crime and the hanging
ve take from The State:
Last Spring Jailer Boone was detlveriag
supper to the prisoners
when he was assaulted by Al. Fields,
a notorious criminal with a number
f aliases, and several other prisonera.
Blx ef the prisoners escaped and
11 were recaptured except Fields,
who Is still at large. Jailer Boone
lingered some time as a result of his
wounds and was finally taken to hln
old country home, whero he died
rfveral months later.
John Cook was appointed Jrller in
the place of Mr. Boone during the
past summer. While a carnival was i
ib iohd Aim. Vyuun iuuk u?r junuien
to the carnival grounds to see a balloon
ascension.
At toon as Mrs. Cook got away
Mr. Cook was called from his room i
by Mary Jones, a negro woman, who
told him that the water pipes In the
cell above hers, occupied by Henry
Hrntley and Jim Cox were leaking
and the water was dripping o?
her bed.
While Jailer Cook was beudlnc
over examining the water pipe he
was struck in the head with nn Iron
spittoon by Huntley. The spittoon
weighed about 10 pounds. Huntley
ao?l Cox then took his keys away
from him and threw Mr. Cook Into
a cell and made their escape, taking
the negro woman with them. The <
woman was ca.'ured the night of the
escape, but It was several days before
Cox and Huntley were captured.
Huntley and Ccx confessed later 1
that they had entered Into a compact
with the woman to make their i
escape at the first opportunity. They I
yf staffed cotton taken from their mut
res*e? into the drain pipe and caused i
ft to overflow and got the negro wo- I
man to call the Jailer.
They were tried at the November I I
term of court and were ably defended '
by lawyers appointed by the court. !
Cox was given a ten-year sentence I
and Mary Jones one of flvo years. I
A crowd of about 100 negroes and '
whites loafed round the Jail this l
morning while the hanging was lak- I
tng place, many of them eager to see <
the hanging, but could not, as all !
tews had been screened. 1
Sheriff Trantham summoned ten 1
witnesses and four deputies?Willie I
Whlttaker, first deputy; W. D. Star- I
ling. second, and Mr. Herron, third.
The negro passed a restless
night, but bhowei r.o signs of bre.iking
down. This morning he ga%e ot;t
* statement to the press and ro two
negro ministers. Hevs. Brown and
Roykin, saying. that whiskey, gambling
and women were respoi -ilde
for his committing the crime and raid
for blacks and whites to avoid them,
as they would soon get the best of
them.
He said that when he stunk th<
jailer he d'd not Intend to kill him,
but only to stun him. Ho sa'd that
he was ready to meet his Jest's and
did not fear death.
Sheriff Trantha.m read his death
warrant at 10:30 and placed the
handcuffs on blm. When asked tf no '
had anything to say. ho said, "Yea."
"I want you, one and all, to turn
your hack on sin and don't let old

DARING FLIGHT
MADE AT CHARIAWTON BY A
YOUTHFUL AVIATOR FRIDAY.
J I ramie Ward, Eighteen Yearn Old.
Circles the Harbor Orer the Porta.
Goea Oat to Sea and Return*.
Jimmy Ward, the 18-year-old aviator,
In a Curtis 25-horse power aeroplane,
gave some fine exhibitions of
his aklll at Charleston on Friday. He
made a daring flight across two rivers,
the harbor and out over the Atlantic
ocean, breaking the world's
altitude record for low-powered ma
chines, and winning a prize of $5,000
by circling over two of the strongest
fortifications on the Atlantic
coast, demonstrating the efficiency of
the aeroplnne as a scout in time of
war.
Landing gracefully on the beach
In front of Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's
Island, he handed a note to
Col. Marsh, which the latter signed.
\ ard then reentered his machine,
rose from the beach and flew back
across the harbor in a direct line
to the aviation field north of the city.
He covered a distance of about 25
miles In 5 i minutes.
Very few people saw Ward begin
his flight from the aviation field,
his unsuccessful attempt of the day
t>efore having aroused a spirit o*
skepticism. News of the dar'ng attempt
spread rapidly, however, ana
many roofs in the city were packed
when the airman made his return
flight.
Leaving the aviation field, he flew
first to the navy yard on Cooper
river, circling above the plant. He
then flew down the river a distance
of about five miles to the city, over
the upper end of which he passed.
He turned eastward, crossed the
Cooper and Wando rivers and the
harbor at a height of about 1,000
feet.
Reaching Sullivan's Island nt the
northern entrance of the harbor, and
on which I'ort Moultrie Is situated,
he circled back over the harbor at a
height of about 2,000 feet, passlns
dose to Castlo Pincknev. Heading
seaward again, he passed directlv
nver For' 'Sumter ut the entrance oi
the harbor and swept for a distance
of about a mile and a half over the
waters o' the open Atlantic. i
Turning he flew about the Isle ot
Palms and Sullivan's Island and ,
landed on the beach in front of Fort (
Moultrie, amid the cheering of soltilers
and officers. A note which he
handed to Col. Frederick Marsh, in (
charge of the fort, was signed by :
ihe latter and Ward brought It back
to the city with him on his return. <
It was on the return trip that he
hroke the world's altitude record for i
small machines. At a point directly
ibove Mount Pleasant, a village on (
the edge of the harbor and opposite 1
to the city, he attained a height of I
f?,3 00 feet, as shown by his baro- ]
?raph. As the aviation field came ]
nto view. Ward, at that time over t
hooper river, shut off hie power and
rlidod for a distance of a mile ,?nd a i
half, land ug safely and easily. He !
was shakh g at though palsied as he j
;>osed for lis picture, so terrible had t

The friends of Pomerone In the

The Sumter Watchman and Southron
says Inn red ay morning when
the eleven o clock train cawo In two
caeea of ?-mall pox would hav? be?n
unloaded upon Sumter had li u</. j
been for the work of Dr. C. W. nimlc
or that city who saved Sumttv from
the unwlshed-for and dreaded v.eltora,
who were two colore 1 men
bound from Marlon to Lynch varjr,
one of them Just Retting over the
disease and the other Just taking ? .
They were not allowed to get off ai
Lynchburg, their desired destln^t'>:i.
and so were brought on to Sumter
where they would have been set frethad
It not been that vhrougu the
warning of Dr. Plrnle, Mayor denning
had had time to notify Ihe
health office and station him with a
policeman at the depot to keep ?*;y
any such undesirable visitor*. Tno
Watchman and Southron aays:
"It seems that the men came from
Marlon and were bound for Lynchburg
or at any rate that was the way
their ticket read. Dr. Blrnie got on
the train at Florence with them and
when the two men got off at Lynchburg
and were Immediately hustled
back on the train by the city officials
at that place, who had received notification
of the kind of visitors the?
were almut to receive. Dr. Blrnie at
once made It his business to find out
what the conductor expected to do
with the two cases of small pox. He
found that the conductor expected
to take them on to Sumter and turn
them off the train there. Ho did not

pvi uu iuc iiniu ill
Mayesvllle but ho got some one to
clephone Mayor Jennings of the two
eases of small pox and what the conductor
expected to do with them,
when he not to Sumter.
"At Sumter Mayor Jennings got In
a hurry as soon as he hid received
the tolophone message from Mavesville
for he kne wthat It would not
take the train long to yet here and
something must be done before It arrived.
Ho at once got the health officer
by phono and told hltn what his
duty was. He also sent a policeman
along to see that things moved
smoothly and to help tho health officer
In case of need. So when tho
ra'n pulled in there they were hoth
waiting to see that no cases of small
,?ov got off In the city of Sumter.
This they saw to. and when the conductor
Insisted, they mildly told him
that they would tie his train down to
the track and kep It there all day
for him. The conductor objected to
this even more than carrying on the
cases of small pox which were In the
smoking apartment of the colore '
coach. Tile matter war linally settled
by the ecu ch being run outside the
city limits and b ft on a side track
while the r?et of the train pulled out
for Columbia.

and shot the night clerk. Both were
arrested and placed on a Btreet car
after a chase through the Interstate
bridge district and while being taken
back to the city, asked that they be
allowed to go inside the car.
The requ- st was granted. One of
the youthful bandits quickly pulled
a revolver from a pocket that had
escaped the notice of Policeman Harry
Chesmore, who had made the arrest,
opened fire on the officer and
killed him. He was shot twice ta
the lungs and once in the forehead.
The robbers then held up the passengers
and crew of the street car
tnd at 6:30 a. m. made good their
escape over the Northern railroad
bridge.
Tl?e two hoys entered the hotel

Clarence Stubsted, the night clerk,
and Charles Feasted were standing
beside the desk.
"Hold up your hands!" shouted
one of the boys, po'nting a revolver.
The clerk nr.d porter thought the
boys were joking. To show that they
vere In earnest, one of the boys
tired a shot through the floor near
rhe desk and the clerk and porter
