THE AFTERMATH
j . .My 8-days wrestle with the flu end|
ed last week. It was a terrible scuft
fie. As soon as I felt better in my
i left leg, a thousand pains broke loose
l in my right ear. But the next day,
i the aches landed right ker-dab in the
i middle of my chest. Pain and misery
played hide-and-seek in my anatomy
jfor 10 days.
. . Betwixt coughs and sneezes and
moans and groans, my sweet little
nurse took my temperature and
counted my pulse and looked out the
window. The doctor came twice a
day and changed my medicine twice
a day so's it would show that he was
really trying to do something.
. .It looks like I proved a terrible disappointment
to our 3 leading undertakers.
All of them sent regards frequently
to me by their friends and
mine. I don't know which one of
them would have had the pleasure of
laying me away, but now, all of them
will simply have to wait. I can say
this for them: they all 3 have plenty
nice designs and sweet-smelling embalming
fluids.
. .The flu seems to be a ctosb betwixt
the rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago,
nervous prostration, bumble - bee
stings, bad colds, croup, brown-kitis,
nostril deflation and mental perturbation.
And things don't taste right
either. The steak I had for lunch
today made me feel like I was chawing
up the rubber mat that we sit
the flower pot on in front of the looking
glass on the dresser.
..Everybody was good to me during
my illness except the men I owe,
they just kept right on sending me
duns. The stock in the drug store
I bought my medicine from advanced
from 4 to 6, but the par value is 100.
The check I gave the nurse for services
rendered cleared at the bank all
right. We ha*e good bankers in our
town. But I have idver got my nose
completely unstopped. I think I will
get a plumber to drill it out for me
!State Takes Lives of
Three Negro Slayers
For the third time in 14 months
South Carolina yesterday took the
lives of three people for crimes calling
for the death penalty.
Friday it was Jaipes Jones, 24,
James Arthur Ducks, 26, of Aiken
county, and William Sanders, who
claimed to be 14 years old but who
looked somewhat older, of York county.
The two first named were cousins
and had killed a 68-year old white
man, Charles Green, from whom they
took about $400 after hitting him in
the head with clubs Green died five or
six days afterwards from pneumonia.
Will Sanders, who said his?real name
was Mongomery, killed a 68-year-old
white maiden woman of York county,
I for whom ho had cut somo wood,
but refused to draw some water for
her, and becoming enraged by her insistence
he beat her to death with an
ax handle. He said he had been mad
several times before but never so
j mad as he was then, and that he
would not have done the deed if he
had taken his mother's advice and
controlled his temper. *
Capt. C. A. Sullivan of Jfne penitentiary
guard had chargs/of the executions.
He had askyd the prison
chaplain, the Rev. Sj^C. Phillips of
Arsenal Hill Presbyterian church and
the assistant negro chaplain, the Rev.
T. H. Broadus, to have .their devotions
in the cells with prisoners, so
as to avoid any dramatic scenes that
would add to the tenseness of the actual
executions. This was done and
the tragic endings of the lives of the
three men were accomplished in silence
except only for the mumbled
prayers of the three who sat in the
chair, one after the other, and a few
words from each. There were about
60 witnesses, 20 to each execution.
No relative of Sanders was present,
and he was buried by the state
in the Tickelbury cemetery, on
the banks of the Broad river
where convicts are buried. His mother
and father had written they
could not come. The father of James
Arthur Dicks, Isaac Cummings, and
the grandfather of James Jones, John
A. Jones, were present to claim the
bodies of the son and grandson and
they were taken to Aiken in coffins
furnished by the state in the truck
in which Cummings and Jones had
come to Columbia.
Before the executions Chaplain
Phillips called upon the spectators to
consider the solemnity of the occasion
and to observe the amenites.
Both ministers had done their work
well, art'd the negro chaplain, the Rev.
T. H. Broadus, the day before the.
execution, said after the Baptism of!
Sanders that he felt sure the three j
had made their peace with God, and j
that they would go to the death chair"
sustained by Christian faith.. This
expectation was fulfilled and the
three men marched from the prison
cells to the death chamber with unemotional
fortitude. The executions
of the three, with adjustments of the
electric apparatus, and the exits and
entrances of the three sets of witnesses
and the yard of the penitentiary
was cleared of all visitors within
one hour after 7 o'clock, the hour for
the beginning of the executions.
A brother and three nephews of
Miss Stephenson witnessed Sanders'
execution, and five nephews of XJreen
saw his slayers put to death.
Sanders apparently did not close
his eyes when the head-piece was
placed on him, for he said: "Wait a
minute, let me shut my eyes." A readjustment
was made. He said,
"Now," and the executioner threw the
switch.
The American Civil Liberties union
and the National Association for Advancement
of Negro People had urged
Governor Blackwood to commute
Sanders' sentence.
Dr. E. L. Horger, clinical director
of the State hospital, had reported
the Negro sane, but with the mentality
of a normal seven of eight year
old child. The average Negro adult
has a technical nine year old mind.
Jones died mumbling a prayer. He
had said: "We ain't got but one way
to come here, but we got all sorts of
ways to leave, and I got to go this
way."
Dicks, saying he was "ready to go,"
added, "Tell my folks to meet me in
Heaven."?Saturday's State.
next week.
. I believe I had the old model flu,
the 1919-1920 type. It started off in
high, but soon back-fired. The first
day my temperature stood at about
102, but after the second day, it went
to around 96 in the shade and stayed
there. I got so weak at times it took
me and 3 other fellowB 6 minutes to
sneeze just once. Several thoughtless
friends brought me whiskey for
medicinal purposes, bless their dear,
sweet souls. I am all O. K. How and
hope to go back to work with plenty
strength of mind, character and rim,
but I will be weak financially for m
long titte.

Stevenson Is Named
For Home Loan Bank
(P. H. McGowan in Columbia State)
Washington, March 0.-?With the
speed of a Seaboard Air Line express*
for which road he was counsel before
he came to congress 10 years ago, the
senate today lost no time in confirming
the nomination of Former Congressman
William F. Stevenson, of
Cheraw, whose nomination President
Koosevelt sent to the senate for a
position on the Home Iawu Hank
board. . .
Mr. Stevenson terminated his service
in the house last Saturday* losing
his place in the South Carolina
primary of last August to John P.
Richards* of Lancaster, who is now
in Washington. He was immediately
sworn in. .
Mr. Stevenson had been a member
of the house banking and currency
committee for several years and when
the Democrats took over the house
machinery about two years ago ho
was made chairman of the committee
on printing. Among tho bills that
claimed Mr. Stevenson's attention as
a member of the banking and currency
committee thero were many
looking to the rehabilitation of banking
conditions generally.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
problems with which he will be fucetl.
This nomination, excepting that of
Daniel C. Roper for secretary of commerce,
is the first official recognition
from the White House of men from
the Palmetto State.
It has boen known for some time
that Mr. Stevenson had tho indorsement
for this place but it was not
believed that President Roosevelt
would act as quickly as he did today
in sending the nomination to the
senate.
Others are expected to follow in a
few days.
In Anderson county, the topers are
using bay rum, rubbing alcohol and

tho electrification of its State railways.
A party of 15 Cubans were arrested
at Tavernier, Fla., Tuesday, charged
with attempting illegal entry into
the United States.
Farmers Bring'
Suit For Damages
A big lawsuit, remarkable for the
number of plaintiffs, the prominenco
of the defendant, the amount of money
involved and the principles of law
invoked, is being started in the common
pleas court here.
Over 60 farmers in York and Lancaster
counties are suing the Duke
Power company and its subsidiary for
a total of $200,000 or $000,000, for
damages done to their farms below
the big India Hook dam, by the operation
of that big engineering
work.
Aipong the first things done in developing
a wator-power in a river is
to buy from landowners above the
site tjie land overflowed by the dam,
or the right to overflow it, and usually
a wide margin of safety on each
side of the river is included in such
purchases.
Hut little attention is paid to riparian
owners below the dam, as a
rule und seldom are their overflow
or flood rights bought by a power
company. These suits here will test '?*
the rights of a dam owner to releaso
waves of water over the dam to go
down stream und overflow riparian
owners of farms down stream.
While there are and will be a multiplicity
of suits in the York circuit
court, each and all of them are practically
alike, except in the damages
claimed by each land owner, which
varies from $1,000 upward in the different
cases.
The claim in each caso is, that thq
power company by opening gates in
the India Hook dam in time of a
flood on the river, sent excessive
water down which drowned the farm
land below to the damago of land
and crops.?Yorkyille Enquirer.
The house on Wednesday by a vote
of ?0 to 36 threw out the entire proposed
item in the treasury-post office
appropriation bill for the maintenance
of the airmail service.
Three negroes at Denver, Col., have
been sentenced to servo a total of 28
