The Foul Oime Was Committed la a Boarding House in Prince ton, N. C. ‘ ^ News from Princeton, a small North Carolina town twelve miles from Goldsboro, tell of a homicide in that town about 11 o’clock Sat urday night, when Frank Langley, a young white man, was shot and Instantly Allied in a boarding house run by A. Ols Pearce. Troy Pearce, hla father and two brothers, Albert and Andrew Pearce, and n blacksmith by the name of Lem Sauls, are in jail charged with the .crime, Which^ according to the reports, was cold»blood|ed murder. Sauls, the blacksmith, left Prince ton last Saturday night but was cap tured later by the sheriff near Set me and placed in jail. He denied being in the crowd which did the killing, but later admitted that he was a member of the party, but did not know who committed the deed. John E. Pearce, an uncle of the Pearce party, was also in the house at the time of the killing and says that the crime lays between Troy and Andrew Pearce, that he had re tired for the night and the clock in his room had begun the stroke Of 11, but only a few strokes had broken the stillness, when the sue ceedlng ones were drowned by the discharge of a shotgun which was followed by a blood-curdling yell. This is the only statement he would make. The body of the deceased was placed in a cart by the murderers and carried down the Southern rail way track about half mile from the scene of the tragedy and left on the rails In order to try and hide the crime by letting the train pass over the body. The night train going WMt severed the head from the body, but at the coroner’s Inquest held Sunday afternoon, it was dis covered that the deceased came to his death as the result of a gunshot wound.

Some time ago while hunliag in the swamps on Rocky river, Mr. W. K. Bray, of Anderson, killed a duck, and on one of the legs of the bird was found a silver band bearing the Inscription "Box 48, Kingsville On tario.’’ He at once wrote to the address, and has Just received In reply a letter from Mr. John T. Min er, manufacturer of brick and the In that distant town. He sa/s that the duck shot by Mr. Bray came to his home, where he has a small pond and a flock of tame gray and black wild” ducks, and Joined the flock about the 6th of last August. The luck was very wild for a time, but about August 20 he had gotten so It would almost eat out of my hand,’’ writea Mr. Miner. "Later the duck became very tame and would follow me over to the tile factory and look in at the door, and I often threw crumbs of bread and corn to it. Then she would follow me Into the barn, and knew right well where the corn barrel stood. I became very much attach ed to the duck, and wished to see If I could get any trace of her after she left here, so I put the band on her leg.’’ Mr. Miner says that the duck was Mr. Miner.says the the duck was fcnaEfr-trlftm as M^r-mL left hl« little pond about December 1. He says h,e is a great admirer of birds and la often called all kinds of "green things" because of this fan cy; petting birds and not shooting more than he does. "But this,” he says, "is worth a whole season’s shooting to me. “I suppose,” he continues, “you will think I have wheels In my head, and sometimes I think the same, but I am a great lover of birds and can’t help It.” In his letter Mr. Bray wrote that the duck had come to the best place In the United States, and following out the thread of humor, Mr. Mine*- writes that the duck was fed in the only heaven on earth. BOOZE DOWNED HIM. Another of Rag Time Music Goes to the Poor House. Hugh Cannon, who wrote "Goo Goo Eyes,’’ "Ain’t That a Shame, ’ "Bill Bailey” and other classics of " T —- .. ragtime, was sent to the Elolse poor house at Detroit Tuesday at the age of thirty-six. He told the pathetic story of his life in short, expressive sentences. “I quit coke easy," he said. "I hit the pipe in New York for a year and stopped that. I went up against morphine bard and quit, but booze, red, oily booze, that’s got me for keeps. Except for seven ujbflfhB <h* the water wagoa, T’v* been pickled most of the time." Shot Him Down. John B. Tatiim, a prouinent reel dent of Autauga, Ala., was shot dogrn Sunday night by an unknown man and instantly killed. Tatum was on his way home with his son-in-law Wh«n the shot was fired from am- bush Is said to have been the result of an old food, - — ♦ ♦ ♦ President Taft Tuesday made pub lic the following statement as to the reports that the administration Is planning/4 crusade against unlaw ful combinations of capital: “No statement was Issued either from the attorney general’s office or the White House Indicating that the purpose of th« administration to in Atitote prosecutions under the anti trust law la other than aa aet forth In the message of the president of January 7, 1910. Sensational state ments as if there were To be a new departure and an indiscriminate prosecution of Important industries have no foundation. The purpose of the administration is exactly as al ready stated in the president’s mes sage." The statement was issue! atter the president had talked with James J. Hill, the railway magnate, ami had received information that prices were crumbling In New York under the various reports printed the day before and that morning. Mr. Hill on leaving the White House, said he was sure that the president would not attack corporations for them selves, but the sins of the corpora tions. If corporations were vlolat Ing the laws of the country he sup posed they would be brought to book. James J. Hill’s visit to the White House, It was said, was merely a coincidence. Mr. Hill declared that he had discussed “general condit ions," with the president and had not gone Into the subject of the prosecution of the trusts. "Normally conditions are satlsfac- tury In all directions,’’ said Mr. Hill, “but we don’t want a lot of wild stories to get abroad that will cause depression." Mr. Hill did not want to discuss the president's recommendations as to railroad legislation, saying it was too important a subject to take up "off-hand.” "But we do need the rest-cure badly," he said, adding that the country should be allowed full time to hecover from the panic of 1907. He thought that three or four months of rest from agitation would do a lot of good. ELECTIONS HELD BY HOUSE. Judges, School Trustees and Other Officers Chosen.

Tillman ui His Wife By MRS. BENJ.R. TILLMAN, JR. For the Recovery of Her Two Daugh ters, Who, She Alleges, Were Tak en From Her by Her Husband, Who Then .Abandoned Her in Washington While She Was Sick. Mrs. BenJ. R. Tillman, Jr., Mon day instituted habeas corpus proceed ings before the supreme court at Columbia to compel Senator and Mrs. B; R; Tillman to return her two children to her, aged three and five years, and be perpetually re strained from interfering with them. Sensational are the charges the younger Mrs. Tillman brings against her husband. They are that after repeatedly outrageously Insulting her and brutally an^ cruelly treating her while he was drunk; that afte r she had given him the Keeley treat ment, following which he only grew worse in spite of promises to reform and at times had attacks of deli rium tremens; that after he had squandered much of her estate; that she had appealed to his parents, Senator and Mrs. Tillman, with the result that the senator only insult ed her and both blamed her for the trouble between herself and her hus band and for his drinking to excess —that after all this, and much more, her husband, she having gone back to him following their separation, for the sake of their two children, and in violation of their written agreement to divide their time be tween their father and their mother In case of separation, had her order the two children dressed while both families were at Washington last November, under pretense of taking the children on an evening’s visit to their grandpartens, turned them over to Senator and Mrs. Tillman, who brought them to South Caroli na, her husband then deserting her when she was "in a condition too delicate to mention,” he also leav Ing for South Carolina shortly af terward and filing a deed at Edge- field giving the children to Senator and Mrs. Tillman, alleging In this deed his wife’s "unfitness and inabilt ty to raise my two children as they should be raised,” although Mrs. B. R .Tillman, Jr., has a handsome an cestral home at Edgefield and annual rentals In addition of J1.100. The younger Mrs. Tillman is of bearing giving all the Indications a delicate beauty, her features and of high birth and of having been reared In an atmosphere of culture and refinement. She Is the grand daughter of the late Governor F. W. Plckips, who was also ambassa dor to the Russian court, where her mother was born and christened by the czar, Douschka. which means “little darling.’ Her mother’s sis ter was the first wife of the late United States Senator M. C. Butler, whom Senator Tillman defeated for the senate after the dramatic Till man gubernatorial administration. She Is a blood relative of many of the old-time ruling families of the State, and of course her social stand ing is the highest. Mr. and Mrs. Tillman's domestic troubles appear to date from the time Tillman came home to Edge field and found Col. James H. Till man at his home, but thought he Insulted his wife on this occasion. It is alleged, he apologized and ack nowledged he had wronged her; Col. Tillman, it is said, was at his R. TilliuflP, of Edgefield; D. W. Mc- Laurln, of Dillon.

In an affidavit submitted to the court Monday Mrs. Tillman says that one orraslon she was forced by her husband's drunken cfebauches and cruel treatment to separate from him, but “not until deponent’s hus band under the Influence of exces sive drink made a most outrageous, false and degrading attack upon de ponent's character, that deponent, so outraged and Insulted flew through the night time with her two infant children from deponent's home at ’Edgewood’ to her sister’s home In Edgefield for protection, where she remained for several months.” It would seem from the number and character of the affidavits read Monday In support of Mrs. Tillman’s right to the children, that practi cally every man and woman of stand ing in Edgefield Is up in arms against Senator and Mrs. Tillman and their son. Among the signers of these affidavits are several relatives of Justice Gary, himself a member of the supreme bench. There are over signed by two or more, and several fifty affidavits, practically all of them having from 25 to 50 signatures. The signatures Include the follow ing. all testifying that they have known Mrs. Tillman either several years or from infancy, and that she Is a woman of irreproachable char acter., modest, refined, cultured, dis peculiarly fitted and amply finan cially able to care for and educate cate her own children. - Dr. J.

Influx of I nun {grants the Cause of Increase of Criminals. That the recent remarkable in crease in prison population in New York state is due largely to the influx of immigrants Into the state, Is the conclusion of C. V. Collins, superintendent of state prisons, who, In his annual report to the legisla ture, suggests that the federal gov ernment, which permits these alien criminals to land on Its shores, should assume the burden of main talning them till they have served their sentence when they should be deported and never allowed to re turn. A census of 4,320 prisoners in Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton prisons, showed that 1,091 or 25 per cent were aliens. While the Pension Office Had Him Dead Once in 1815 and Once Again in 1847. Zach McGee in his letter to The State from Washington says a form er South Carolinian. Sumeral Dennis, bears the record of the nearest ap proach to the nine lives of the cat, and the pension office Is at work try ing to figure out how many times he really has died- The Washington Star prints the following story, which while the pension case is of special Interest in Alabama, is still of interest in South Carolina if there is anybody there now whose name -is- Dennia:—— — “The officials of the pension office In Washington are accustomed to receive claim for pensions which are stranger than fiction. They are at work on a claim made by Mrs. Sum mers! Diennis of' Dadeville, Ala., which caused them no end of sur prise. "Sumeral Dennis, it appears on the official records, died in 1815, af ter serving in the American army during the war of 1812, According to the records, he also died in 1847 at the close of the war with Mexico, in which he also did good service. Now comes his widow and declares that Sumeral Dennis died only a few years ago, having lived to a ripe old age. "Senator Johnston of Alabama has taken much interest in the claim and is pushing it before the senate committee on claims with the hope of winning the pension for the old lady, who lives now in Dadeville with her son, Perry C. Dennis, a prominent attorney. "If the pension claim goes through Mrs. Dennis will receive in the neighborhood of |3,000, including the back pension which Is due her. “Sumeral Dennis has a death rec ord that few can beat. The officials in Washington are afraid that he may yet be discovered alive. "Way back in 1812 he lived In South Carolina. During the second war with Great Britain, Mr. Dennis became a member of Cap. Beatty’s company in the First regiment of the South Carolina militia. He serv ed gallantly during the war. But according to the records on file In Washington, he died his first death In 1815. “But, In spite of the fact that he was officially dead, Mr. Dennis, who was still a young man, moved to Alabama, where he settled and lived prosperously until the Mexican war broke out. His old spirit for war was still alive, and he organized company of volunteers himself and Joined the army of Invasion. “After this war he was officially reported dead for the second time. However, he lived to return to Ala bama and to marry Mrs. Eva P. Den nis some years later. It Is Mrs. Dennis who is now seeking the pen sion. The old man was 94 years old when he died the third time. “When the officials in Washington raise the crticlsm of the claim that Mr. Dennis died after the Mexican war, before Mrs. Dennis claims to have married him, Senator Johnston points to the fact that, according to the records, Dennis was dead in 1815, and yet the later records show him to have served in the Mexican war. “The senator argues , therefore, that if the records as to his death were wrong in the first Instance, they might be wrong In the second, and that Mr. Dennis’ widow should know, If any one, when her husband died and If she married the shadow r ‘ t a man.” C.

I have followed up this matter on account of my personal interest then enlisted. Not In the purchase of land any more* but to see that the people have the right to buy according to the terms of the grants to the railroads and to the military roads. I found out long ago that neither I nor any one else could buy them according to the terms of the grants.” He then read a letter he had written inquiring of the attorney general if any had been bought in accordance with the resolution of congress passed two years ago. Continuing he said there had been a tempest In a tea pot over the Bal linger affair, but that 2,000,000 acres of valuable timber land Is held by the Southern Pacific railroad or by the Harriman interest in abso lute and direct violation of the grant which they refuse to sell to anybody.

Mr. Van' Norden saw two women walking along Fifth avenue. One dropped a pocketbook and Mr. Van Norden politely picked It up and re turned it to her.
