He bad called up his wife at his home, about ten squares from bis office. As the shot rang out she heard his shriek and then the sound of bis body as it, fell to the floor, overturning a chair Mrs. Rucker, running at full speed through the streets in the busy part of the day, leached the little office, wherein lay her husband, almost aw soon as did occupant) of the other offices in the large building. The as sassin bad stood on the pavement, bis office being on the first door and next to the street, and from that point bad fired the latal bullet tbrpagh a win dow. It went straight to Rucker’s heart. Two arrests have been made l)ut the evidence Is purely circum stantial. The suspects had quarrelled with Rucker, who was a real estate agent, and bad threatened btmr -ter the shooting they wera-among the first to enter the brig- SLOT MACHINES, There Except Those Where Element of Chance, AEX DEAD IE MUTE CAROLIh A The Fraaehi— Tax- Bill Piaa Several Other Bllla Receive ' Their Third Reading In , * the Senate. * At tlte morning session of tlte sen ate Wednesday two bills of much i m- portance were disposed of. Tlte slot machine bill provides with certain amendments that no machines shall be either operated or kept on any one's premises. rfThe exemptions made are as to machines in which tlte coin put in gets a certain and uniform return and In which there is no element Qf chance. The other bill is that to tax the franchises of corporations, that is, on a basis of the amount of business done. Both of these bills were sent to the house. As said, the slot machine bill was amended so as to exenfpt weighing, measuring, musical and vending ma chines and all machines which give for the coin a certain fair and uniform return and to which there is no ele ment of chance. Tims it is seen that slot gas and electric meters, telephone booths, shoe lace, chewing gum ma chines, weighing machines and those of a like kind will not be shpt out. The exemptions were made through amendments by Senators Hydrick and Sheppard. Th6 bill also provides that none of the machines pot exempted shall be kept on anyone's premises. There was a very lengthy debate on the bill, some senators wishing to exempt the slot machines Indicated, others wishing to kill the use of all and others taking the position that the bill was striking against the rights of the individual. The matter of thief Boyle’s raiding the machines in Cliarleston was closely linked w ith the debate. '' __ - The immigratiotr “bttT with its amendments%as received by the sen- mte,'which concurred in the amende ments. The tax commission’s house bill to require corporations to pay annual license fees and to report their sta- ■ttstlca to the secretary of state came in for discussion, Senator Raysor wishing the reports to be made to the comp troller general. His amendment was adopted. ’ , • j Senator Peurifoy opposed the one- half mill tax on the property values of corporations as lie was convinced tiiat it would keep out of the State foreign corporations and force some domestic ones to suspend business. Senator Walker made an expected move when he proposed to kill the bill. He did not thinkihat the State should enforce double taxation and that was what the bill amounted to. John Smith, the merchant, cannot be taxed but if his firm is the John Smith com pany he is subject to taxation unless protected by '‘limited liability" which Senator Walker thought, was .really meant by the constitutional convention as a help to corporate Interests. He could understand the taxation of the intangible property of the express, telegraph" and telephone companies, but the railroads own tangible proper ty which could be taxed. Senator G. W. Ragsdale said he did not think this was the right way to raise money and that he agreed with Senator Walker. He did not think it would be just to exempt merchantile institutions. It is not right to make one pay a tax which his competitor does not and thus it is not right to ex- eraptr any. ting a bondsman, who will stud In the sum of 1500 for his good bebsvior for s year. He osonot, however, be y 0 [employed by bis bondsman unless tbs magistrate sees that a regular con tract is entered into. This Is to pre vent peotnge. V The following third reading bills wei e read to allow Robert Stephenson Simons to apply for admission to the har^ Mr. Simons is a minor but will be of age in one month. To allow the State veterinarian to destroy and regulate the care of animals with contagious diseases. To raise the salary of the adjutant - general; to amend the traveling expenses of the county superintendent of Abbeville; to extend the deer bunting season in Darlington by beginning in January Instead of 1 February; relating to magistiatcs in Kershaw; to grant lands in Columbia, Spartanburg, Georgetown and York to the govern ment for federal buildings; to pay L. M. Mahaffey past <£ue school salary; to determine Hie oounty line between Sumter and Lee. , If money had not been ex pended so extravagantly in the pa.st 10 years there would be no need for the bill. Senator Hood thought there were some corporations which enjoyed such privileges that they should be taxed. Others, however, enjoyed no mpre privileges than individuals and they should be exempted. He wanted to. strike out the section providing that all Statu corporations other than those of a quasi public nature be charged the one-half mill tax. *——* L Senator Raysor spoke agaihst -any distinction of this kind. He thought any corporation of ahy kind sitould be willing to pay the fee for the privilege of being incorporated. Senator McLeod announced that, lie was personally interested in mercan tile concerns and that he thought it perfectly fair for them to be requited to pay this fee.

The Whole Truth About the First “ Fight at Port Arthur. - JAPS LOST THREE WAR VESSELS. What au EnglishCorreapond$a»tSays About the- l^oasea of the Rtu- siuns and the Japanee ^ f War Ships. There lias been a great deal written about the first battle betweefi the Japanese and Russians at Port Arthur. It was claimed tiiat the Russians lost three vessels, while the Japanese, loss was notliing. These dispatches came from Japanese sources, as was censor ed to suit them. 11 now appears that the Japanese lost more than the Rus sians. The correspondent of the Lon don Morning Post, which paper is op posed to the Russians and in favor of the Japahese, cabling from Manchuria to his paper on Wednesday says: ‘ I have Jut readied hereby special train from Port Arthur, and, to save time, have written my account while traveling on a locomotive. About midnight on Monday. JCeb. 8th, the town was roused by the firing of big guns. I hastened to a hill battery and saw that six Japanese torpedo boats had approached within half a mile of the Russian fleet 'and were showing-lights, funnels and ^signals just like those of the Russians. The Japanese torpedo boats crept quite clbse to the Russian ships before they were discovered. Each of the Japanese boats dis charged torpedoes, three of which took effect, striking \the battleships Tsarevitch and Retzivan and the cruiser Pallada. The three damaged ships returned to the harbor to avoid sinking. Notwithstanding the continuous fire from the ships and forts, four of the Japanese torpedo boats escaped. One, however, was. sunk, and another, which was in a sinking condition, was deserted by her crew and was after wards captured by the Russians. Tlie action ceased at 3 a. m. The loss on the Russian ships was eight killed and twenty wounded. Apart from tiie disablement of three Russian stiips. the damage done -to the fleet and forts was not very great. There were many Russian torpedo boat de stroyers in the harbor, but they were not readj to resist the attack. The Japanese, in fact, created* great deal of surprise, not only by their unex pected onlslaught, but by the prompt- IffspppsRjl bravery with which they acted. • As a member of the committee room.and enUat in [which framed Die biii, Senator Mower the search for the assassin, And the explainetTU purposes clearly'amTE Col.

A great many merchants in South Carolina are very much Interested in the slot machine bill which has pas* ed both bowses of the legislature and now awaits the governor’s signature to make it a law of the State. The bill provides. “That from and after 5be passage and approval of this act, it shall be unlawful for any perston to keep on his premises or operate or per mit to be kept on his premises or operated within this State any slot machine of whatever name or kind ex- pept automatic weighing, measuring, musical and vending machines which arc so constructed as to-give a certain uniform and fair return in value for each coin deposited therein, and in which there Is no element of chance. Any person who shall violate this act shall be subject to a fine of not more than (100 or imprisonment upon the public works of the oounty wherein the offense is committed, for a period of not mote thah 3Q dayfc”- 4 • Worth Two Dollars, The Columbia State says: “When cotton was sellings for five and aix cents a pound the publishers of many weekly papers reduced the price to one dollar a year. They probably now realise the unwisdom of tha; course, when everything that _ newspaper and to keep the' makers of newspapers alive has advanced in price. Any weekly paper worth read ing is worth M a year, according to present standard. ' • 1 , -***' :■ -— :X4 ■' - . ' L,.' x' I telligently. He said that it was merely a-tax on the franchise of the corporatioas. The line' was drawn between quasi public corporations and others. The committee had made the most equitable disposition that it could; nothing was taxed in the bill which is untaxed under the laws of the. State for the reason that this one- half mill tax is placed on the right of the corporations to do business and the only tax .now existing is a proper ty tax such as on Pullman com panies, etc. Senator Walker's motion to kill the bill was re tec ted. Senator Hood's mo tion to strike out section four of tlie act did not ineet with favor. He then moved to reduce the taxon, certain companies, but this was also killed. Another amendment tabled was that of Senator J. W. Ragsdale to Include in the bill only corporations enjoying condemnation and universal domain. Senator Hood sent in an amendment to bang up the application of the bill until Jan. 1, 1905. The bill was then read a third time and sent to. the bouse. ^5- ()n Tuesday morning, Feb. 9, news arrived from Dalny tiiat the Japanese flee) was steering westward, in attack format ion. It came in sight about ll a. m. Tlie re were in ail fifteen ships, two lines of battle—six battleships, six first-class cruisers and three sec ond class cruisers. The Russians had outside thirteen large vessels, under Admiral Stark, on the flagship Petro- pavlovak, and Rear Admiral Prince Moktompsky, on- the flagship Peres- viet, excluding th6 Tallada and the Tsarevitch, The latter the flagship of Rear Admiral Mollas, and the Retvi- san, which was lying aground across the inner harbor entrance. It was iow waterr . The action was* commenced by the big-guns of the land, battery. The morning was ddll, with a light wind, and tlie lieavy smoke rendered it diffi cult to observe the details of the. ac- tion, but I witnessed all that was pos sible from Beacon Hill, opposite the entrance to the hartjor, in line of the “Two 'Sliel Is^fetl—near -us and about twenty others fell in the old town and the. western harbor whqre many steamers flying neutral flags were anchored. After the commence ment of the action all of the people fled toward a hill outside the town, under protection. A little while after the first shell was fired a big 12-inch one exploded, smashing the office fronts of the Suen- berg’s Valu Concessions Company, and the Russo-Chinesff^bank., The Meets were then entirely deserted but the local police kept splendid order. [""There was no looting; women and children wpre very brave. On both r sides I encountered over 300 shells, few of which rg^ched the mark. Others dld not explode. During the action several merchant steamers ou side the roads moved their position, but none was allowed to leave its an chorage in the harbor. Regiments from the adjoining bar ks and camps came pouring through town to take up defensive posi tions In the event of the Japanese landing. The Japanese warships steamed slowly past, In line of battle, to the westward and about four miles I G Ball, Sec’y A Treat Geo A Wagener, Pres. Geo Y Uolemaa, Vice Pres.
