But Was Remorseful B«r o cause It Was Suspected That He Had Been Aided in Escape. Alien Emerson, convicted, mur derer, refuge* from justice, with a standing reward of $1,100 for his capture dead or alive, gave himself up to the authorities of Anderson coupty and donned the- garb of-a ANNUAL tioft of Comity Dteptflurios. convict at the South Carolina Pent* tentiary. He was in hiding for five months and up to the very mhrote that he walked out into the middle of the lone public road In the southern part of Anderson county last Satur day night, and revealed himself to an officer of the law his whereabouts were a mystery to the authorities. Emerson was delivered to the pen itentiary authorities Monday after noon at 4:30 o'clock by Sheriff Green of Anderson county. Emerson was shaved and got the regulation hair cut and a brand new suit of stripes and was registered on the en try book as .No. 17,629. After being weighed and measured and a general Inventory registered Emerson sat down and told the following story of his escape and wanderings: "1 did Sheriff Green a dirty trick by breaking out of Jail and going off leaving hlifi to be criticised," said ISmerson. “I never had a better friend in all the world than that man, and I haven't got a better friend than him .today. I was a long ways from home—I don’t care to say exactly where—when my con science told me tt^kt I must come back and give'up. I had figured on going farther, God knows wherei^- Just farther away. But that thought that I had doue Sheriff Green a low down trick stayed with roe. I saw in the newspapers where he was sus pected of aidin|; me.. Finally I tnade np my mind to come back and from tha day I turned my tracks in this direction I never for a minim* thought of turning back. The near er I got to my old home the better I felt. ® "Saturday I reached the Savannah river and rowed across In a batteau. I had two good pistols with me, load ed all around, and no one looking for the big reward should have tak en me. I had made up my mind to come back and surrender and I did not want anybody to get any of the reward. I didn't want Sheriff Green of the State or the relatives of the Books ,1b Good OondftioB Ooe> of Office Not Heavy-—Aggregate Seles Very Large Tabulated Statement. Mr. W. B. West, the State dispen sary auditor, Thursday submitted his first report to the general assem bly, showing the operation of the county dispensaries aince their es tablishment in March. The report goes Into the work of systematizing the books in each county end ex plains how each book is kept. All of these books have beep examined and Mr. West has met from time to time with the county boards and ad vised them as to the management of the business. The only shortage dis covered during the year was In Col- nmbia when one of the. dispensers fm. $ 1,6(10 short-la -hit- accounts. This amount was paid up. Outside of this'case the books and accounts have been wall kept, Mr. West says that "the cost of this office from the time it was opem ed in March to the 31st day of Dec ember was $4,100.47. The aggre gate gross sales made by all the dis pensaries in the State was $2,691, 663.43. The total net profit was $696,056.61. By a comparison of these figures it is seen that the cost of maintaining this office was 3-20 of 1 per cent, of the gross sales, or -3-6 per cent, of the net profit earned.'

Sweeping* /[rough the crowded restaurant akes up the eighth floor of Macy’a department and into the gentlemen’s cafe, “aTalT, stylishly dressed woman J>ent for a moment over the shoulder of a diner, whispered something In his ear and'then drawing n revolver from her muff emptied the contents of the five chambers Into his body. As the victim, Frank Brady, a hewspaper advertising solicitor, slip ped* lifeless to the floor, the woman flung the ^revolver from her and taking a second revolver from her muff shot herself first in the head, and then twice In the breast. She died half an hour later.. A note fuond In the woman’s purse proved her to be Mrs. Mary Roberts Clark,*a manicurist, the widow of a police officer and stepmother of a six-year-old son, Raymond. Brady was thirty years old and the sole support of » helpless aged mother, for whom he had made a home. The shooting was the culmination of a series of violent quarrels, and, according to the woman*! intimates, In fulfillment of a' threat to murder Brady in a public place. The suicide, who was about thirty years years old, was Mary McLean when she marired John Roberts. When the later died a year ago she assumed the name of Clark and sup ported herself and child first as the wardrobe woman at kn up-town the atre and then a rfihnicurist. She was or a preposslng appearance and had marked business ability. While she wm in prosperous cir cumstances and before tbe death of her husband Brady had lodging at bar home, and she declared that she had helped him to the success which he subsequently attained. A few months ago he left her home and made a home for his mother, whom he brought from New Jersey. Recently Mrs. Clark thought that Brady was avoiding her, and when he called at her home, occasslonally they quarrelled. Thursday Mm Clark went to }er bank, made a cash deposit, wrote a note identi fying herself and referring the read er to her* attorney, and armed with three revolvers went to the store where she knew Brady usually lunch ed. % She made her way hMtily to a small smoaklng room Tor gentlemen just off the dining hall. The big room was filled with women who were lunching after the morning shopping, and amid the buzt of the conversation hep- agitated manner at traded the attention only of The waltressesss.

The address last- not quite two honrt and wm •f Hi Mitfil MORE WMTE PEOPLE in this Only Solution of the la This ed closely followed by those present. His utterances on ths immigration question are perhaps his first from s platform in this State and were therefore of particular Interest to the members. On the race problem the senator' touched, arguing in the main for a repeal of the 16th amendment of the constitution of the United States, but his main argument was that South Carolina needs more settlers of the right sort, the kind authori sed in the act creating the depart ment of agriculture, commerce and Immlgratkrarhnd the only way to get these Mttlers la by advertising the advantages of South Carolina— a plan now being used In the Weet, where there are also many advan tages, where wages are higher and where the negro is not met-te corn* petloa. Senator Tillman annyllsed the re sult of his lectures In the North, told of the dlMppearence of sectlopal feeling and ckMgd with i strong plea for more education of the whites, calling attention to the growing ex tent of the education of the negroes, pointing out the fact that the con stitution of 1196 wm only a tem porary remedy and emphMlslng the growing danger of the use of the educated negro for political purpos- flcatlon on account of the inyita tlon and declared that he would try to comply with its terms. He be lieves ths discussion of immigration and the race quratlon to be so close ly Interwoven that one can not be handled without the other. There Is still n wide divergence of opinion on the race question, but he is not disposed to quarrel with those who differed with him.

These very men were oppos ed to this convention and m "I was one of those who advocated the con vention I have-a right to speak and show that everything Is not quiet."

Therefore he want ed to warn the people that the terms of the constitution requiring a man to read and write or pay taxes on S300 of property before he could ■vote, might react. The report from every county showed that^more ne- groes were ‘ going to school than white chlldrap. There are more of them. « He reviewed the work of the con stltutlonal convention of 1868, which he said wm attended by three-f6ur- ths negroes and nearly all the car petbaggers. The people seemed to forget the negro rule of eight long years thst followed. Of course this can not return, but something worse can. The. school attendance by the negroes shows that, at our expense, they are now getting tlie ability to re*d and write and can comply with the requirement^ of ths constitution He* was not one to object ter tbelr education, but how long would It be before enough of them can read and write fe^equal the white vote and then balance the power? ‘He was not objecting to the negro schools; le wanted to emphMlse this, but they are here.

Coming to a qaesttoa of remedy he In going through this State wm struck with the good stock, the pure blood and the fact that every citi zen was proud pf the State. More of this kind are needed. The general assembly a few years ago passed a bill for a department ol immlgfatlon. Now what is wanted are homeaeekers. Those of us who have thousands of acres of land and are facing labor trouble with the negroes, realising that the negroes are more and more independent, know that something must be done. The difficulties grow day by day and what would be the result of an influx of 290,000 people who seek to be come South Carolinians? Can we expect them to come here, however, when the advantages of the West, with its high wages, anP being constantly advocated everywhere and the government spending millions of dollars on the desert land?

When Lee surrendered at Appo mattox we knew that the Union was one and that slavery existed no long er. But. we did not know that sec tional hatred would make the North forget all the long pMt and declare the. negro m good While Radicalism hM been thrown off temporarily there is only one de finite and permanent remedy—tha repeal of the 15th amendment. 7 He was told that he wm the only Southern representative 4rho advo cated this. He had talked to hun dreds of Northern audiences and found that they had very little use for the negro, although they wanted his vote and are consequently vert polite to the colored brother. It wm a question with him, he said, whether or not it wm not time for the South to unite and call for the repeal of this amendment, if the South never uked for It they would never get It. In roaming over the land he was able to bring the newt back that sec tional feeling was dead. There were a few old men who still cling to the old IdeM. But there are many who have come South during the Span- ish-American war, have invested their money here and have visited here and they have the same Ideas we have.' He claimed that he had aroused more enthusiasm in Wiscon sin than here on the matter of white supremacy; he had followed his old style of hand primaries and usually secured a unanimous vote. It Is now a question of nerve or courage to se cure a repeal of this amendment and the South should demand, it. Ha wishes td have credit for fore sight. He wanted, however, to press upon j£he people the fact that the tltQF will come when the negro vote in the South will count More white map are needed and we can not get them we most say to the North that this amendment must be repealed.
