Sheng negotiated the loans for the

detectives are on the trail and a

A minister of Gaffney who read
the above article stated to a news
paper reporter that the finger of sus
picion pointed to a certain man and
that circumstances led him to believe
that the man was then in Gaffney.
The story goes that a man of Ruth-
erfordton county hired a boy to work
for him, or rather the boy was bound
t him. The man was of a rather
penurious disposition and did not
provide for the boy very suita
ble clothing.
Finally the youngster prevailed on
his employer to purchase a new suit
of clothes and this was done but
shortly after, the employer became

where they caught him. They then
forced him to remove the clothing
and gave him his choice of swim

decided to try the swim, and had
started when the two men opened
fire on him. It is said that several
shots w.ere fired from pistols and that
the boy sank.
He was never heard of or seen af
ter that but later the skeleton was
found further down the river. It
is further stated that the man who
first had the boy hired died a short
time after this and on his death bed
confessed to the crime, and stated
that the other man had since moved
to South Carolina.

killed Lillian Porcher, aged eight, of

The child was choked unconscious
and is in a critical condition. A
teacher pulled the snake from the
chiid's neck and killed it. The little
girl and a companion were playing
in a building in the school yard when
the snake dropped from the rafters
and colled around her neck. She
tried to dash the reptile to the
ground but it gripped tightly and
she fell struggling.
The other child danced up and
down In horror and screamed at the
top of her voice. This attracted the
teacher. When the latter entered the
building the Porcher child black in
the face, was unconscious. The teach
er seized the snake by the neck and

“The statement given by Gov.
Blease at Barnwell Tuesday contains
nothing new to me; for-It is only a
rewrite of a letter 1 wrote him re
cently, and in which I wrote nothing
to lead him to believe that I had any
intention of doing otherwise in the
approaching gubernatorial contest,
than I stated to you when you were
here a few weeks ago; that is that I
Intend to remain strictly neutral in
the campaign,” said Senator B. R.
Tillman Wednesday, at his home In
Trenton to a representative of The
Chronli'fe:
“I could not afford to take sides in
the contest for both Gov. Blease and
Judge Jones are personal and pollti-
il (yiendj of mine, and I have told
Blease that. I also told him that. If
1 saw reason to take sides against
him at any time I certainly would
not knife him, but would tell him
before I told any one else.”
Senator Tillman smiled several
times, and winked during the read
ing of the article to him by tbe
newspaper man—he somehow had
missed getting his paper Wednes
day.
"It Is going to be a close fight,” he
said "and Blease Is losing no time.
He is campaigning now and has been
for months.
“He is keeping before the people
and he is making friends, while
fudge Jones is seemingly doing noth
ing yet. The newspapers, somehow
always have some kind of a story
about Judge Jones.
“There are two things In Blease's
statement that he is mistaken in
though.
“One is with regard to Richards
being in a frame-up to bring Judge
lones out to oppose him. Why, 1
know that Richards was aeriously
considering entry Into tbe race him
self. It has been his ambition to be
governor and be thought thft, with
my condition—supposed to be liable
o drop off at any moment—if he
ould beat Blease and be governor,
he would be in line for promotion
ind be able to beat any other man;
and he was one of the most surprised
men in the State when Judge Jones
announced himself.
“The other error Blease makes is
In saying that I was about to pub
lish a letter indorsing him In 1910,
but was persuaded from It by a news
paper.
‘I did write a letter such as he
speaks of, but I did not publish it. I
changed my mind, and no newspaper
nor man connected with a newspaper
had anythlg to do with that letter
not being published after it waa
written.
However I voted for Blease in the
second primary, I voted for Richards
in the first.”
Commending further on the silu-
tlon or as he railed It, “muddle,’’
the senator said that because he had
proclaimed neutrality it did not fol
low that he must maintain an armed
neutrality.
“But,” he said, “It Tom Felder or
any one else goes before the legisla
ture and proves—actually proves—
that Blease is, or has bee®, crooked.
I’ll take sides quick and fight him;
for South Carolina Is ft proud State
and will not stand for rottenness If
she knows it,”
“Senator Gov. Blease says In his
statement that there are no differ
ences between you and him. is that
true?” was asked by the newspaper
man.
“There are no friendly, personal
differences between uft I suppose
that’s what he meant.’’'
The senator said that h« does not
know who Is responsible for the can
didacy of Judge Jones but that ke
had no idea but what Judge Jonfee
told the truth when Judge Jones said
he had been urged by letters and
men all over the State to run, and
that he had a laudable ambition to
be governor and “in line of promo
tion” for the senatorial tog* “If any
thing should happen to me.’'
“Don’t you think the attitude of.
the governor toward him a# ebl
justice, and the clashes wfth him
the governor has precipitated had
something to do with his annonnee-
ment?” was asked.
“Why, if a man, has any spirit and
pugnacity In him at all I should
think he would want to get at the
other fellow, nnder such clrcumstan
ces—meet him on his own plane—
and fight him. Don’t yon? I know I
would.
.“And that’s Ju«t what-Jones has
got to do if he expqcts to win-fight
him. He has got to take the stamp
and fight—and he’s got to use Blease
tactics. If he does that and makes
hie fight on Blease’s record, he vrttl
At Kill Devil, N. C., Orville
Wright In his glides Wednesday in
a fifty mile gale went aloft and re
mained virtually stationary nearly
ten minutes,^ and maintained an al
titude of one hundred and fifty feet.
The record-breaking “flight” was
the seventeenth of the series that be*
gan Wednesday when therain ceased.
The first glide lasted only £4 seconds,
each lengthening until the final one.
When Lorift Wright and Alexand
er Ogilvde, the English aviator,
brought out the machine for the In
itial flight the wind gauge showed
that the gale was 35 miles and fresh
ening. Sand carried by tbe wind
pelted the aviators, the tiny particles
cutting like small shot. In the opin
ion of the experiments no more try
ing weather conditions, under which
to make the test of the machine,
could be found.
- -The glider - waa- equipped
rear rudder of 24-foot spread. In
front, to preserve the balance, a 10-
pound bag of sand was swung on
the end of a rod extending eight feet
in front of the aviator’s seat. Tbs
ailerons, or balancing wings on the
sides of the machine were adjusted
and Orville Wright lifted himself In
to the seat.
“Le* it go" he shouted. Lorin
Wright and Ogilvte thrust the glider
Into the face of the riaing gale and
It shot up. Again and again this
was repeated until for almost tan
mlnutee Wright soared like a brood
ing buzzard on the crest of s fifty-
mile gale.
Orrille Wright admitted bis satis
faction with the reaulta and declared
the conditions nnder which the flight
was made were unusually severe. The
success of the experiment Is under

the science of aviation and to point
the way toward solving the problem
