L. Smith abort $£,144.18, and severely criticising several former and present county officers for loose ness In methods and direct violations of law. The report divides the Smith liabilities aa follows: Horrowed- money account $1,031.62, bond ac count $2,450. dispensary account $1,662.5*. v Following hla services aa county treasurer. Mr. Smith was a member of the legislature, and was accuaed by Representative J. Wright Nash of Spartanburg of appropriating his prohibition bill and running It in under the name of Smith aa a ruse to defeat the local option bill. Mr. Sash made a dramatic speech to knife his own ‘'baby” under the Smith name, so as to save the day for local option and put the old State dispensary out of business. Mr. Smith was at one time spoken of as r candidate for governor Accountant Wilson of the comp troller general's office, who has twice checked up Mr. Smith as treasurer, the final checking being when Mr Smith left office, was surprised by the "report of today. Mr. Wilson offers to bet $100 each that each of the three Items referred to by Mr. Hill are in correct. Mr. Wilson does not believe Mr. Smith Is short at all, that Mr. HIM has made some error Governor Ansel will not take any action on a report for the present The act requires the report to be pub lished In one of the county papers and this will be done. In the mean time the governor will reserve ac Uon. The treasurer's office was held by • Mr. D. L. Smith's father, Mr. A. R Smith, from 1899 till the spring of 1900, when he died and was succeed ed by D. L. Smith, who was succeed ed early in 1 907 by the Incumbent R. E. Jones, who the report finds is conducting hls office properly, except that he has a habit of cashing claims, “which Is liable sooner or later to cause trouble if it has not already done so, to say nothing of the Tact that It is directly contrary to law. "Concluding to begin work in the office of county treasurer. ' says the repQrt, ~“we called—rrprm ttrr- cotmtr auditor theld by A. A Patterson Jr.) for abstracts of the duplicates and copies of the settlement sheets from 1899 up to the last settlement which was for the fiscal year begin uing January 1, 1907, and ending June 30, 1908. "We were informed by that office that he knew little or nothing abou inch papers, as he had only recently gone into office and bad been kept busy ever since In taking tax returns and in making up hls duplicates prt paratory to the next collection of tax es, and that therefore he had not had an opportunity or ths time to ar quaint himself with the other affairs pertaining to hls office. He did, however, point out to us an indiscriminate mass of papers and books piled on top of tables, In dry goods boxes, etc., In an utter state of confusion, with no sort of dis tinction between the papers of one year and those of another, saying at the same time that they were In Just the condlNon In which they were turned over to him by hls pre decessor. "After spending considerable time in a futile effort to obtain some re liable data that would be of service to us. we applied to the comptroller general for the settlement sheets filed in hls office for the period to be covered by our investigation, but as he seemed somewhat indisposed to allow these papers to go out of hls office, Mr, W. W. Bradley (the expert accountant employed by Mr. Hill to assist in the investigation) went up to Columbia and made cop ies of them, save those for the year *^905, which he was informed, could not be found in the office." Colleton having soffl the Green Pond and Walterboro road, for which the county was bonded to the extent of $60,000, to the Plant System for $35,000, is now entirely out of debt with about $1,000 on hand to meet — Tba report aaya: .

It was arranged that Corcoran should drop with hls parachutea when he heard a certain number of revolver shots after the balloon had reached height of approximately 5,000 feet. Corcoran had barely left the ground before promiscuous firing be gan, but the man to give the signal ailed out to him to keep on up Above a few hundred feet it Is hartT for an aeronaut to Judge correetlv hls exact height, and^ so when Cor coran heard a second fusillade It Is believed he was certain the signal had come. He was seen to drop, al though he was barely 500 feet in the air. The distance was too short for the parachute to open properly, and the man dropped like a plummet, strik ing the ground about 1,000 feet from where the ascension was made. He sustained a fracture of the skull and other Injuries and he soon died.

With these startling words did Bob Belch er clear up Tuesday the mystery as to who fired the fateful shots that removed forever Deputy United States Marshal W. B. F.

B Palmer, Charley Palmer, father and son, and Lou Belcher and Bob Belcher, mother and son, stand charged with murder ing the two officers near Walhalla on the night of March 8, 1909.

Each received two wounds of a serious na ture. The minister In attempting to act as peacemaker, came within the range of the flying bullets and fell at his son s feet mortally wounded. St ISHIKO BOY FOUNT). Murder Mystery at (Tinton Proves to bis a Canard. Tho boy, Ben Deane, who was re ported missing from Clinton since ■Saturday a week ago, has been found at Ware Shoals This puts an end to 'he sensational rumors which were flying about of murder at the Lydia Mill. The police found on close in vestigation that the reports about Joe Franks and his friends were based on facts, but they were greatly exaggerated, and there is no reason to make any arrests iu connection with the matter. were those in the auditor’s office the papeds relating to one year's transactions mingled and mixed up with those of another, in the moat Indlscrlmate manner conceivable.” The occupants of this office have been J. O. Jacques, whose term last ed four years; he was succeeded by J. E. Moore, w ho was succeeded last year by J. O. Griffin. The report finds that the board of which Mr. Griffin is chairman had or dered claims paid which were not properly sworn to as required by law and that claims amounting to $206.5.' had been twice paid. The county would have been short to this extent but for the investigation. Ex-Supervisor Moore's accounts were correct, hut Joe Jacques bad left a lot of jury certificates not con ceded. The present clerk of court Is con ducting his office properly, but ex- Clerk E. R MoTeer did not keep a book for recording "fines and for feitures" as required.by law, except for last three months of his term, term. The superintendent of education. Dr. H W. Black, is conducting hls office all right. The manner in which the offices of master and judge of probate are run are highly commended. The magistrates are strongly con demned for not making regular re ports. The present sheriff Is doing all right, but of ex-Sheriff L. G. Owens, who held office about 12 years, the report says’: “In examining hls tax execution' books for severaf years back, we found that In the case of quite a number of taxpayers who had return ed lands, running from an acre up on bond account $2,450; on dispen -rary ttceotnit t!,6fl?-.5e; total $3,.-) 'o.-156- acres, aggregation, aver_3DO 744.18."

Belcher, nervous aud perspiring, told the following story of the event of that night: • About 2 o'clock that night some one knocked on the door. I start ed to open It, but my grandfather said: Let me open it.' He asked who was there, the reply was Cor bin.’ Open the door or 1 will busi it down. Rap, J. B. Palmer, un buttoned the door and the Corbin s the old one (W. B. F.). came into the room where we were sitting about the fire with a cocked pistol iu his right hand. 1 did not run and hide. 1 did not know who they were, nor what they wanted. 1 backed into u room to the left, aud W. B. F. Cor bin glanced at me, but said notn- ing. Pap asked him hls business, and he made no answer. He went into the cook room, took up a lamp there, and climbed up on the stove. Lou told him to get down, as we had stolen nothing. He said: 'That's all right.' Lou said he could not walk around the house with cocked pistol. Again he replied: ‘That's all right.’ Lou and Charley Palmer, my uncle, followed him. He search ed around in there about five min utes. I stayed in the front of the house watching Chris Corbin, who was standing with a pistol drawn in the front door. Bill Corbin came back into the big room, and with out a word walked up to me and put hls big pistol barrel right over my heart, Charley knocked the pis tol to one side just as it was fired He wanted to kill me, but did not have time to fire. 1 dodged. Chris then ran in and grabbed my hand amf in jerking looSe Tf6tn him my elbow knocked a board from the side of the house. Chris grabbed me by the coat, aud pulled me to w'ard the front door, firing again Just then Lou said; Oh, you shot me, - and 1 grabbed the pistol to pro teot my mother. He dragged me out of the door and fired twice at my head, but 1 turned the pistol. He dragged me out doors toward an apple tree. About thkt time, when Charley and Ixm Were begging them not to kill me, I heard Charley say: Oh, Lord, you have killed me,’ and fell. 1 Jerked loose from Chris to run to Charley, when I saw Bill Corbin trying to chop my mother with an axe! I ran iu the house and got my shotgua Pill kept com ing with his axe as if he meant to kill either m© or Lou, so when he was three feet off, I shot and he fell. Chris Corbin then fired again at me, and 1 returned the fire aud he fell. I thought Charley was dead on the ground. I shot because I saw they were trying to kill me. I never did know what they wre trying to kill me for. I saw no papers. I could have ©scaped through the win dow when they came.” If there was ever any doubt as to the plea of the defendants it is now removed Illegal invasion of n manw house and firing to kill all the defendants will be charged against the two dead men. On cross- examination by Solicitor Bonham, the witness was considerably confused. It was truly a gruelling examination. Court adjourned for the day with the witness still on the sand. The State rested its case before the dinner hour. It was evident that they will try to prove a conspiracy to prevent the arrest of Bob. Judge Dantzler ad mitted testimony going to show that the defendants knew that a warrant for Bob's arrest- for shooting into a mall box w-ould b© Issued. Wit nesses were Introduced to prove and d+sprove that some one had been In the loft, where, the State contends. Bob was told by the others to hide. Many gruesome objects were of fered in evidence, including bloody gun wads and shots, taken from the tings of the'd’ead mariV broody «*1rtB, trousers and waists worn by the de fendants. The crowd overflowed from the court room Into the square and streets nearby. Many women were present. A dispatch from Danville. Va., says as the result of a mysterious Are, which totally destroyed the home of fL EL li&oxlett at South Boston «arly Monday morning, five of their children and H. A. Strange, aged 7 4, were burned to death, and anoth er child, aged four years, seriously Injured. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlett es caped without injury. The victims of the frightful affair are: M. A. Strange, Vernle Hamlett, aged 14 years; Beatrice Hamlett, age seven years; Violet Hamlett, age six years; Cecil Hamlett, three years; Henry Hamlett, age 18 months. Mr. Hamlett, who is employed with planing mill at South Boston, re sided in a two-story frame building on the west side of the city, near the Norfolk and Western Railway The Are was discovered at about 3 o'clock Monday morning by neigh bors. At this hour the occupants of the house had not been aroused and the building was almost com pletely enveloped in flames, the fire ranging - THe worst oir the south stde of the structurej The residence was threatening to fall In at almost any minute, when Mr. Hamlett and bis wife were aroused. They were on the north side of the house, and their four-year-old child was in the same room. They crawled out of the window on the front porch and drop ped the child to the ground. Both of the child’s arms were broken by the fall. The baby was also slightly burned and its face lacerated. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlett reached the ground in safety. All of the occnpants of the build ing were sleeping on the second story, and those who met death were on the south side of the house. W 7 ben the Are was discovered It was Im possible to save any of the children or Mr. Strange, all of whom It is thought had been burned to death by this time. Mr. Strange was a Confederate Veteran of Halifax coun ty, and was in South Boston to at tend the Fourth of July celebra tion. The building collapsed and fell a few minutes after Mr. Hamlett and hls wife escaped. The six bodies of the victims of the fire were burn ed to a crisp, the remains an un- recognltable mass of bones being taken from the debris. George Bush Shoots His Wife Six Times, Mortally Wounding Her | and Then Taken Refuge In Swamp, Where He Puts a Bullet | Through His Own Brain. Several parties from the neigh borhood where the awful tragedy occurred, brought the news to Edge- field Monday that Mr. George Bush had soht and instantly killed hls wife, Alice, the weapon used being a pistol The homicide occurred at the home of Mr. P. P. Doolittle, an uncle of Mrs. Bush's, near Rehoboth Baptist church. Mr. and Mrs. Bush have been sep arated several years, their trouble being due to the former’s alleged very dissipated habits. He has lived in Augusta for some time, but re cently returned to this county, of which he is a native, and In the neighborhood where hls wife resided, amp has beetr using efforts to get her to return to him. This she refused to do. On Saturday last he avowed his Intention to take hls wife’s life and then his own, and while little credence was given to what he said, as a precaution, Mrs. Bush was mov ed from the place where she was staying when the threat was made, to her uncle's home, and it was there that Mr. Bush appeared at 11 o’clock Monday morning, and it seems, with out warning or excuse shot her to death. The circumstances of the homicide afe not known. Bush, it Is said, fled as soon as he got In his bloody work. At 12 o'clock Monday Sheriff Ouzts received a telegram from Modoe the Charleston and Western Caroli na railway to come there at once, that Bush had killed hls wife, and the presumption at Edgefield was that he had been captured at that I>lace about three miles from where the killing occurred. Bush is well known, having car ried the mail from Edgefield to Parksville for several years. He was a hard drinker, It was alleged, but was thought to be harmless. Mrs Bush before marrying was a Miss Doolittle, and a most estimable wo man, her family being prominent in the county. 4#0 acres—1 1-2 to 2 miles frsm Clarendon, Columbus Co., N.

Mr. Stoney Bouchlllon, of Bor deaux, engineer of a hoisting engine on the A. C. and W. C. wreck train operating near Barne's station, was probably fatally Injured when the engine overturned Monday morning The engine and one of the work cars turned over, and Mr. Bouchillop was caught underneath the engine. His fellow workers jumped to safety Mr. Bouchlllon was quickly placed on a special train and was carried L the hospital at Anderson. His condition is precarious, and hls death is expected almost at any moment. Hls right leg was almost crushed to a pulp, his hips were also crushed and other Internal Injuries are fear ed. He is severely shocked, and is getting worse^ His condition has prevented any close examination and, of course, no amputations have been made. It is doubtful whether he will sufficiently recover from the shock to even permit an examination. The cause of the wreck is a mys tery. It blocked the track for some time and several trains had to trans fer. Several persons employed on the work train were more or less injured by Jumping, but no other than Mr. Bouchlllon was seriously Injured. 124 H Acre* In Cattail Bay, Colum bus Co., N. C., uncleared.

The body has beta Identified. V ' _ -i; Mrs. Rush Still Alive. Later information brought by a party direct from the scene of the tragedy is that, although Mrs. Bush is shot six times, she is alive with no hopes of recovery. Her statement is that her husband met her coming from the spring and demanded that she come back to him. She refused. He then said: "Well, you are a dead womiro “ and commenced firing, shooting her twice after she was on the ground. The news spread like wiidflre, and soon hundreds of citizens gathered and are hunting Bush.
