The guilty pair were arrested ^and tried and sentenced, the woman being the first and only woman hanged in this State. The following account of the case is taken from King's "Newspaper Press of Charleston, South Carolina." "Too frequently the torch of the in cendiary, together with the machina tions of the desperado, gave scope for individual condemnation. Not less frequently were the warnings given by the City Journals to the authorities to suppress the then existing evils. This Condition of ftoclety, bad as It wasl in the city. was much worse In the! environs. O&fyffb of WhLtO despera roes occupied certain houses, and ln?j fested the roads loading to the olty.

It was evident that she flattered herself with the expectation of pnrdon from the Executive.

This steadily increasing pobttc pref erence is proof of the recognition by car owners of the ^gr eater values of fered by Firestone. It is a tribute to Firestone men?all stockholders in the company?atf actuated by the operat ing principle of Moot Miles per Dollar. The high average performance of Firestone Cords is without equal in the annals of tire making and is reflected by the general tendency to specify Firestone for - hard service. Tsjdcab and bus lines, buying tires by the mile, are universally equipping with Fire stone Cords. There are many reasons for the hifh quality oi Firestone tires but chief among the special manufacturing proc are danbla gum-dipping, te elinfautja| internal friction by Ing each cord strand, and sir-hag mowing ? well-balanced and perfectly shaped product.

HAVE SLANG OF THEIR OWN "Hobohcmi.m?" Dw*lt *4 40 Cents a Day in Chicago?Lead Mer. ry Existence in "Jungles" in Summer and Cities in Winter. Chimin. Men ari? IIvIiik on West Madison street on 40 and MM'ohIh a day, accord I hk to Nels Anderson, Alio Is making a study of homeless and mi gratory moii under the direction of Professor l<>iiest W. Burgess, of t tie University of Chicago, for the United Charities and the Juvenile Protective society. Mr. Anderson became a wanderer himself as a boy. he explained, but happened to And work on a ranch, where the family took on an Interest In him. At the age of twenty-urn! he entered the high school. Kverttually he was eoufrunted by the problem of selecting a topic for his doctor's thesis, and finding, according to ids statement, that no study had been made previous ly of the hobo, he J)egan to write on that subject on the basis of his early experience. After he had written 2S0 pages he felt a desire to strengthen his preparation for the task by re. newed Investigations, Accordingly he has been mingling with tramps as one of them at their "Jungles" or summer camps, on the rood, In the city streets, and in Jail. Slang of Their Own. "The average student who hasn't been on the road himself," said Mr. Anderson, "Is apt to And himself un able to approach a tramp and get his true story. Not only are tramps full of suspicion and prejudices, und likely either to exaggerate or to keep still if they suspect their questioner, but they have a slang of tnelr own. "For example, a man who works with a shovel Is known in the fra ternity of ?working stiffs' as a 'muck er' ; the man who drives a team Is a 'skinner'; one who tramps ties on ths railroad Is a 'gaudy-dancer.' "In the winter the tramps flock to the big cities. They manage in some cases to make $50 last a long while, for they know where they con get three doughnuts and a cup of coffee for 5 cents and lodging for 10 cents, If In the morning they will sweep off the floor they slept on. You will find 800 men on the floor of one of the popular Chicago 'flop houses' in the winter, thoiiKh In the summer the same place will be nearly empty. 'Where are the men In the summer? Many, of course, are engaged In sea sonal occupations. The Idle ones are often gathered at the 'Jungles,' which Is an Institution In Hobohemla like the fashionable club In another stra tum of society. The men select for their .camps a shady place, near enough to town for 4in occasional handout and far enough from town to seem secure from the 'bulls' or constables. They build shacks of wood or rooflng-tln or whatever ma terial they find handy; I have seen very good shacks built of rlpped-up oil cans. Tabulates 402 cai?t. "I*uat summer I tramped through Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming, covering 800 miles. I talked to some 2,000 wanderers, and tabulated 402 cases. I had slashed my vest to carry my Index cards; only one man noticed the slashes and the slight bulges; he asked me If I was an organizer for the 'Wobblles.' I said no, and that waa, all." No man ever sinks too low "to re tain some spark of self-respect," ac cording to Mr. Anderson. "Many take to the road or the city j streets because they are physically | Incapacitated and therefore dependent,1 and they feel that they are unwelcome Incumbrances upon their families. I "Many are the dodges employed to get means of subsistence. One man addresoes a street corner crowd thus, 'I am different from the rest of youse stiffs. I want to get enough for a flop tonight; I want to eat today, tomorrow, and the day after. I'M talk to you on any subject you choose.' Then he makes his speech and hands round the hat. Anybody can get up a crowd on West Madtaon street, for there are always Idle men who are glad to listen."
