Mr. Jacobs ' says the four highwaymen were trav- ( eling in u battered Ford roadster. He ' was unable to decipher the license ' tag, which was almost illegible on 1 account of mud und dust.

The young men say their companion was stricken, in the car, und they ' drove to the home of Dr. Montgomery ' in Union and awokfe him to conic to the girl's aid. When the physician reached the car he found the young woihan was dead. Wright and Fowler then took the body to a Union undertaker and left it to be prepared for burial. An inquest will he held today. The New Money The information comes through the United States Daily that early during 1 next Summer the people will be handling the new money in shape of lUricncy of smaller ? ?*? The notes, says The Daily, are in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20. $50. $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Approximately 58 per cent of the entire issue will he of $1 denomination. The present plan of the department of the treasury contemplates release of the new money for general circulation! about July 1 of next year, according j to the Under-Seeretary of the Treasury. Ogden L. Mills. Mr. Mills has explained, however, that this program i* tentative, and that obviously no delinate date can be set until all factors involved have been determined. 1 he defense for the smaller notes is convenience in handling by the users and economies for the (Joverninout? Charlotte Observer. Southbound Birds Are Interesting To Watch Cleinson College, Oct. 28.?This is a season when bird life is shi ftiiig, says 1'rof. Franklin Sherman, zoologist and entomologist. Some of the birds which have spent the summer with us and reared their young are now going south for the winter, while others which nested in the states north of us are now coming to us to spend the winter. One of the migratory birds is the Chimney Swift, often called swallow, which stays with us all summer and lingers until the approach of cold weather. Perhaps they are seen in numbers until mid-October or possibly a little later in the warmer part of the state, and then suddenly they are gone, not to be seen again until spring. It is a beneficial bird, feeding wholly upon insects which it takes as it flies through the air. The Nighthawk, often called bullbat, nests in South Carolina and northward, and as they begin to fly southward in September and October they often gather in large numbers, coursing over our fields. They fly with mouths wide open and swallow insects as may be encountered, perhaps varying tho flight when an Tn^ sect is seen. At that early-fall season the boll weevils are often on the wing, hence the Nighthawks, perhaps the last bird of whom you would expeet it, devours a considerable number of boll weevils. Stomach examinations have proven this. Soon certain apecies of the Sparrow family, which spend the summer north of us, will begin to arrive for the winter. During the winter these birds feed largely upon the seeds of weeds and are in thia way a help to the farmer. *j V" V - - 4. - .L - Venator Harrison Refutes Charges . . ' r Senator Pat HarrUon, of Missis lippi, in writing to the Democratic bounty Chairman, ha* the following ' :o aay in regard to Republican efforts < ,o defeat Governor Smith: "I have received many circulars I Lhat are being printed and distributed iml run as advertisements in many ){ the papera in the South during the lowing daya of the campaign in un attempt to prejudice the South against the candidacy of Governor Smith through false and misleading statemerits. , "I am writing you this letter so i -hat you may know the facts touchng aome of these scurrilous charges. "In their mud effort to revive a i ost cause, they publish a picture of i i negro Ferdinand Morton dictating ; o some woman, and charging that Governor Smith was responsible for i he appointment. The facts ane that i his negro Morton is one of three < wivil Service Commissioners in the | :ity of New York, holding his ap- < pointment at the hands of ex-Mayor , 11 ylan. lie was appointed for a term < jf six years and has been retained < iy the present Mayor of the city of < New \ ork. He is nut removable from office except upon sustained < barges and the unanimous action of i ihe State Civil Service Commission, governor Smith had nothing in the < world to do with the appointment and j is not responsible for it in the slight- , st degree, it is purely a municipal i pfftce and the employes in the CivU < Service Commission are all under ( Civil Service. , "Here is what Dr. W. E. DuBois. j editor of the Crisis, a negro monthly. > and well-known champion of the colored race, writing in the. current | issue of the Nation, says about treat ment of the negro by Governor i Smith, "In al^ Governor Smith's long career, he has sedulously avoided recognizing negroes in any way. He , has twice vetoed bills which would have given a colored magistrate to ; Harlem. He has never given a negro any major appointment. He has , seldom been willing to receive a negro delegation and it is doubtful if he has met personally in all his career a half-dozen of the 150,000 negroes of his state." "In this advertisement those who are directing the opposition against the Democratic . party state that: "Jack Johnson Working to Swing Votes to A1 Smith." They ought to know that this is untrue. Jack Johnson did volunteer his services to the Demoeratic ( ommittee and they were < refused. In a few days the papers carried a statement from him stating that lact and the further fact that he was going to >upport and make speeches for the Republican ticket. "When the opposite n to the Democratic cause attempt t<. deceive the people of the South through these deliberate misrepresentations, why are they not fair enough l?> state that just opposite Democratic Committee Headquarters in New York City, are the offices of the Deputy Internal Revenue Collector of the great financial district of New York City. That the man in charge of this work, appointed by this Republican National administration, is a negro by the name of Anderson. He has working under him two white women stenographers and one hundred and seventy-nine white persons. "Why do they not state, when they attempt to hold Governor Smith resporisible for a negro being nominated for Congress by the Democratic party in a large negro district, overwhelmingly negro district and overwhelmingly Republican, a negro DePriest has been nominated by the Republican party for Congress. In the St . Louis case the negro is running against Congressman Dyer, who fathered the anti-tynching hill in Congress and has no chance of election. In the Chicago district, there is little doubt about the Republican negro Dol'riest being elected. "Iff has been stated also that Governor Smith allowed to be passed a bill permitting the marriage of whites and blacks. This is untrue. Governor Smith does not believe in the marriage of whites and blacks. nVhen h<> was speaker of the Assembly, Mayor Walker, who was then a Democratic assembly-man, introduced a bill in the Assembly to prevent, the marriage of whites and blacks. This bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee over which a Republican chairman presided and which committee was composed of nine Republicans and three Democrats. The bill never got out of the committee but was killed by the Republicans on the Committee. "As to the charge that negro men teach white boys and girls in the public schools of New York, I beg to say that I am advised that out of the 33,000 school teachers in the public schools in Now York, there are only twelve or fifteen negro school teachii?Sr" , . * - v..- ' -' T; y ' ers. The public Bchool system is! under the control of a State Hoard of Regents. It consists of twelve mem : hers and are appointed by the Legis-! lature of the- State of New York. The' Legislature of the .State of New York has been Republican throughout the, eight years that Governor Smith, has been governor of the State. I may' say that the chairman of the Board; of Regents today is a Republican and every member of it is a Republican except one. "With refrerence to the charge that Governor. Smith and Tammany Hall passed a law which fined whjte J>wn; ers of restaurants who refused to serve ftegroes along with w^ite patrons, I beg to say that neither Governor Smith nor Tammany Hall passed any such law. In 1895 the legislature of the state of New York did pass what was known as-the Civ.! Rights law, which provided against discrimination in the state. , has | remained on the statute books from that day to this. It was passed by & Republican legislature. Governor Smith at that time was not a. member of the Assembty, and was only twehty-two years of age." - VINCENT CHIOCO DBA1> Charleston Alderman Far St Y0r? Hitterly Oppooed Tillman Charleston. Oct. 2.?Vincent Chic i, well known to th? people of Sout/i Carolina aa the man who bitterly oj> |)ortvil the dispensary, jtystem and the late SetattoFfton K. Tillman, when he was governor, died at his home here Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock1 mi the 79th year of his age. Mr. Chicco was ward alderman ( hurleston for almost 20 years and' v. as serving his fifth term as a member of city council. Surviving htm me two sons, Joseph and Vincent Chicco, and two daughters, Mrs, Fred H. Phaefler and Mrs. W. C. Stauss, uf this city, all of whom wit^ other relatives were at his bedside when the end came. Mrs. Chicco died some /ears ago. Mr. Chicco became a state figure when he opposed the enforcement of the dispensary system, which came with Governor Tillman's administration and frequt ntly there were clashis between the state constables, termed in those days as "spies" and Mr. Chicco and his employes. He conJucted his establishment on Market street, .which, as the years went <>n, with frequent raids and clashes, hename one of the best known "blind tigers" in South Carolina. At times the determined fight was such that state constables "camped" nt his place, ordered to do so by Governor Tillman, who was just as determined that liquor law should be enforced regardless of Mr. Chicco's ipinion. Court action almost amounted to naught then as the law was unpopular and it was hard to get a conviction in liquor cases. It was during the heat of this period of the dispensary system that Mr. Chicco brought out his "Two l>eLerminators," two cigars wrapped with a banner upon which were pictures of Tillman and Chicco. The : rigar took like wildfire and for a t while was a popular brand in the state. When national prohibition became | effective Mr. Chicco retired, except for a short period in the grocery business, after which he sold his place and spent the last ten years of his i life in quiet and peace. { He was frequently called the "tsar" ' of Ward d, where he resided and | which he represented in city council under the administration of Mayors Grace, Hyde and Stoney, cover.ng a period of almost 20 years. At a banquet some years ag > when he was culled upon to make an ad- , dress during a state campaign, In*1 said that whenever he voted for a! governor he always hoped that he j would not be any worse than the retiring executive. Mr. Chiioc was a nati\<* of Italy, but came to Charleston \ylur he was in his teens and was employed by the' old Enterprise Railroad * < nrffrawy. f' after which he became a politician: and later went'into business for him-1 self. | He had a wide acquaintance I throughout the state and was .well! known to the politicians of his day. In spite of his fiery opposition to the i prohibition law he was a nran of kind hpart and many are the deeds of his charity to the poor. The patient camel may lose his title "the ship of the deSert." A French, engineer has designed a .desert liner with wheels 50 feet high and equipped with four decks to carry 150 passengers. Judgr Onion of San Antonio fined a newsboy $5 for disturbing the peace by crying "Extra." -Mayor Cham-j bers remitted the fine, saying, "Newsboys have to shout to earn a living." Now the newsies do not f.-ar that particular Onion. _____?. r Unique Wager I? **? < Welter Mqtyanut and <Jene Hough, well known young business men end ardent football fane of Lancaster, atsged a unique wager on the recent Clemson-Cnrolina football game played at the .State Fair In Columbia laat week, and a* a result on { 'ridu/1 laat at 12 o'clock noon MoManus gave Hough a wheelbarrow ride from the Hotel Roy#l on Main street to the end of the paved street, about threequarters of a mile above the city on the Lancaster-Charlotte highway. A large crowd wus on hand to witness the start, and the two young men were cheered merrily along the route. Hough carried in his arms a purebred game cock belonging to Dr. J., K. Kutiedge of this city, this also bringing much comment and laughter from the throngs along the route. The end of the route was to have been at the (jilis Creek bridge, about 200 yards from the end of the cement; * but Hough decided he might get a ducking in the creek and relieved MoManus of this distance. On the return trip McManus came in like a Duke of Wellington, and when within about 100 yards of the stopping point, broke into a lively trot, dumping Hough out on the sidewalk in front of his place of business. The two shook hands, McManus asking, "When does the next game come off?" The novel wager created much interest in the city and over the county, man^ coming from a distance to witness the event. Hough says no more wheelbarrow rides for him; that it was the roughest trip he has made in a long time.?Lancaster News. Three young men, driving a highpowered automobile, held up' H. A. Hay, manager of the Standard Hosiery Mills, two miles south of. Burlington, N. C., shortly after noon Friday and escaped with the weekly payroll of approximately $5,200. Mr. Ray was out of his truck making a minor adjustment on his motor when the robbery took place, and says the first intimation he had of the rob- ; bers was when he looked up to find himself covered with a gun. Ran Away From Home On Sunday, October 21st, sometime in the afternoon, Maggis Sanders, colored, aged 13 years, left home. She answers to the name of Willie, has a scar over left eye and she 13 brown skinned. Anyone having information about her please notify her mother, Lizzie Sanders, Rt. 3, Camden, * r ?Adv.
