Florence, J > ? I > 18." Itrutality of an
almost Inconceivable nature marked the
kUJiui lawt night of Sylbert Myera, a
reminded negro farmer, 1<\ las two
daughter*. J.illian and Rebecca, aged re
m>crtively 1? ami 1H years.
I'sing an axe an a weapon the two
girl* ?tnM-k their father ou the hack
of his head while he was seatod at
the table eating hi* aupper. The blow*
were struck from behind; Myern lived
only a short while after the tlr*t blow
was struck.
According to the statement of hts
daughter*. HWiau first atta<Ae4 her
father. Hhe brought the blunt part
of the #xe down upon hie head 'with
terlffic force, "breaking in the akull.
Am the man leaned over on the table
*he struck again, and he fell to the
floor, ltebooca thou took a hand and
grabbing the axe from her Bister's hand,
struck the ma? as he >ay upon the
floor. They then dragged hkra out iate
the yard where they watched hiin.dle.
After hiding the body of their father
in the woods the girl* returned ->to the
house dre?xed In their Sunday clothes
and went to an ice cream supper Just
a few kundred yard* from the spot where
the b^dy lay.
The Umindor occurred last night about
dietk.J Myers lived near Muhlrow'a mill
and was highly thought of by his own
race as, well aa by the white people
of that comn>t?nlty. When placed under
arrest' this morning by Sheriff Burch.
Tdlliait and Rebecca Myers confessed to
the murder and told the officers all about
It. They al*o made a voluntary state
ment to the. jury of inquest which was
empaneled by Coroner Smith, In their
statement they declared that they killed
their father because he would not let
thTW go^lo a . party at a tobacco bam.
He said he would kill us if we went,
said one (if the girls.
After watching their father die the
girls placed his body in a wheelbarrow
and cartel it into the woods, placing
it near a pat^i about ftO yards from the
public road. They then went back t<>
the house atvd dressed for the party.
.The pi*th near which the body lay was
taken by the girls in going to the
party. .AH of this happened, however,
after they had washed up the blood in
the hopse and had swept the yanl
They djd not attempt to hide the axe
and it Is now in the possession of the
coroner. It is .heavy and blond stained.
Two negroes who returned home with
tin* girls from the party saw the body j
of a man lying near the path. One
of them. Isear I .aw. called, but received
rn> answer. T<ear testified, today that
he knew Myers was careful about his
girls, and he thought it. was Myers ly
ing in the bushes waiting for them to
come back home. When the negro men
called the pirls ran on to their home.
The men returned to the tobacco barn
n ;i ? 1 getting others to follow, came- back
to the spot and found the dead body of
Sylbert Myers. The daughters' did not
tell of their connection with the crime
until faced by the officers this morning
when they broke down and confessed.
I Ho t-h of them tell the same story as
to the manner of the murder.
Sylbert Myers was about 17 years old.
He was well thought of. his acquain- !

THE NORTHERN STATES HAVE OFFICIALLY ADOPTED THE 56' AUTO TRACK WAGON
Neither too Wide nor too Narrow
but Standard 56-Inch Auto -track
--- COLUMBUS ---
Bought by Farmers Because of Its Known Qualities
EGA RD LESS of all other considerations ? the 60-inch
wagon does not fit the road. Any advantages it might
possess are o(f*et by the fart that it is a stranger on its own
load* It rides the ridges, which causes broken axles,
wheels ?,nd other p:\rts.and the tongue whips about which is hard
on the t'\.:n.
I he ;.;stly famous C < dumbus wagon is built only in 56" auto-track because
tins h l!;; standard appro\ed tread of automobiles ? and the automobile
makes th'* in mud or soft roads. If the farm wagon is not made to follow
the s.m.e path it is cut of date for road service. Automobiles are increasing
among farmers because they are a time-saving necessity, and every farmer
who hasn t an automobile intends to procure one at the earliest opportunity.
Th e ( olumbus '3on auto-track wagon will do everything that the old 60"
wagon would do. It will haul cotton bales as easily as the wide track'wagon
and the team < an draw the load without having to pull every inch of the way.
It lends itself just as readily to all kinds of farm work and in addition it fits
the prevailing road tracks.
Besides the auto-track feature the new Columbus has the patented F ifth
VI heel and the "Safety f irst" Swivel Reach Coupling ? two advantages that
are worth $20 apiece to the user during the life of the wagon.
By all means see our Columbus wagons before you buy. We can offer
you something that will save you money and give you service.

Treasurers of United War Work Fund
As'ked to Check I"p Accounts.
Columbia. July 22. ? A statement urg
ing all county treasurers of the United
War Work campaign to check up tbiir
accounts and' make a final effort to se
cure outstanding subscription* at once
in order to show a clean slate for gov
ernment inspection, has betn issued by ;
John W. Simpson of the National Ixian
and Exchange liank and treasurer of
the campaign in South Carolina.
Mr. Simpson likewise makes an ap
peal for individual subscribers -to pay
up their subscriptions in full immediate
ly. ? It is not only the fair and Bfjuare
thing for thorn to do, he say?, %but he
(Htintn out tilie fact that it in to their
interest to discharge such long standing
obligations now and face the forthcom*
ing era of prosperity free of debt and
worry.
"Within the next, few weeks it -is
the piii'|>ose of the leaders who ? over
the Tinted War Work campaign last
fall to clean up all their accounts for
presentation to government authorities,"
said Mr. Simpson. *"As treasurer of
the campaign in South Carolina, I think
it is not unfitting for me to suggest that
treasurers everywhere and the 'public
generally co-operate, with the United War
Work committee in helping South Caro
lina and the South to make the best
jxxsiblc showing in the final check up.
"There are still outstanding subscrip
tions wholly or in part unpaid which
cjiii be piud at mice. This is true of
<'"lunibia. <>f many counties in the state
and of tlic entire South. *
"(Juitc a?id?* from any patriotic con
sideration <?r the fact that these' sub
scribers are as bounden to make good
this debt as they are a note nt the
hank, which volunteered to ijet as treas
tirer in the interest of themselves and
the community at large to complete
their payments. ?
"It is an annoyance an<l poorjpusi"
n?'ss tn 1 .. i this promise slide. ? Our
bank, which volunteered to act as treas
urer for the campaign, has been forced
to keep several people on this job alone.
The United War Work committee has
found it necessary to employ others to
l"ok after the details ..f collection. It
is high time for the public to make i
pos>iblfr the release of these resjionsi- j
bilities.
"Moreover, it is to the individuals
own interest to discharge these debts.
N'o man wants to have these things
hanging over him. to feel in his o-wn
heart that he is lagging in his pay
ments and promises, or to know that
others are aware of his dereliction.
There could be no better time than now,
when times ar e lvxuming and the fu
ture looks prosperous for all, to clean
up these obligations and start afresh
with a clean wlate. .. ...
"If every county treasurer will make
an effort to secure any outstanding aub
*criplions, ami if unpaid subscriber* will
make a final effort to make good on
their i?r^mlse*, we can truly t*4t thC.
the war is over".
