Plpl' Damage Done in Southern
Part of Town.
Greenwood, March 25.?Green15
;v wood was visited by a severe and disastrous
tornado early this morning
which did great damage to houses in
the southern part of the town. On
. either side of the town, also in the
ppig track of the storm, there are reports
of serious damage. So far only one
V death has been reported, that of an
pld i^egro man named Henry Roof,
' who lived alone in a house on tne
, Partlow place, about three miles east
of the town. On this Partlow place
almost all the tenant houses and a
gin house were blown down, the lat?
ter a complete wreck.
In town the residence of Mr. R.
" P. Pinson was badly damaged, part
?f the roof being taken off. Further
up the street the home of Mr. W. H.
Napier was even more badly wrecked,
p-vis? his chimneys are blown down and a
part of the house torn off. It is a
large two-story house and the dam
age is considerable. Right around
|p^ Mr. Pinson, Dr. R. E. Mason had
fejj;. chimneys blown down, two tenant
" houses, Mr. J. P. Addy had chimneys
blown down and his store roof
taken off, Mr. J. M. Pratt had considerable
damage done to his house
' an(* in fact tlie bouses in that
^ part of town were damaged more or
i^ v*. less seriously and almost all of the
negro cabins were blown down. It is
almost miraculous that there were
* no other fatalities. Mr. J. W.
Wells had a barn blown down and
a numDer 01 came in me uam wcic
-killed by the timbers.
R- ,. . There was also considerable damage
out at Salak. Mr. J. H. Davis, a
young man who had just built a residence
and a store, lost both, both being
completely wrecked by the
storm. No one was hurt.
Reports continue to come in of
great damage to buildings in the
path of the storm on either side of
town, but no other deaths.

ASSASSINATED IN HIS HOME.

Jerry Bigford, of Columbus County,
Slnin.
Wilmington, N. C., March 23.?
Jerry Bigford, a young white farmer
and storekeeper, living near Freeman's,
Columbus county, this State,
was murdered last night by an assassin
who fired upon him through a
window of his home where he lived
alone near his store, his body being
found weltering in blood by a negro
woman, who went to the store this
morning to make a small purchase.
The sheriff was notified and with
bloodhounds trailed the supposed assassin
to and across Cape Fear river,
where Cleveland Russ and Stilmore
Russ, brothers, were arrested, one of
them, it is alleged, being a rival of
w young Bigford for the hand of a
Miss Squires, of an adjoining county,
whom the dead man was to marry
to-morrow night. The Russ boys are
held pending a coroner's inquest.

DEPUTIES FIGHT NEGROES.
Bloody Battle at Hickory Settlement
Oklahoma.
Guthrie, Okla., March 25.?On th
scene of the famous Creek Indiai
uprising of last year at Hickory set
tlement three negroes were killed
five wounded and 41 captured in j
battle between 20 deputy sheriffs am
100 negroes. The fighting began lab
Wednesday and continued with in
terruptions until 10 o'clock to-day.
Five deputies went from Henriet
ta, 18 miles north, to the negro set
tlement to arrest cattle "thieves
thought to be concealed in th<
house of one of the negroes. The;
were met at the edge of the cam]
by a party of armed negroes, who re
fused to allow them to enter. Th<
deputies persisted and were fire<
upon. Being outnumbered, the fiv<
deputies fled.
A few hours after the first clash i
larger posse, neavny aruieu, icouuci
the settlement. Some one fired a sho
j and the rioting was on. When nigh
fell the excitement increased and ne
; groes roamed through the woods
firing and yelling.
The fight continued as a series o
duels throughout the night, the ne
groes retreating gradually fron
tree to tree as the deputies advanced
[ firing steadily. Reaching the set
tlement the negroes barricadec
themselves in the huts and could no
be dislodged.
At daybreak firing ceased anc
neither party made another move un
til 10 o'clock, when the deputies re
newed the attack on the negroes
who now numbered 100 against 2(
deputies.
About 300 shots were fired in th<
last encounter, when the three ne
groes were killed and Deputy Sherif
Fowler injured.
At the first onslaught the negroes
were dislodged and fled. The depu
ties pursued and captured 41.
All is quiet to-night and no furth
er rioting is anticipated.
Bucks Pay.
Kate V. Saint-Maur, who has woi
a reputation by her success in show
ing people how to make money a
home, tells how to make money wit)
ducks in the April Woman's Homi
Companion.
"Ducks are so profitable," say
Mrs. Saint-Maur, "that I cannot un
derstand why so few keep them, un
less it is the mistaken idea that the;
must have a stream or pond ii
which to swim. It is true that th<
old-fashioned puddle duck did seen
a miserable creature out of water
but the improved strains are almos
as much land birds as chickens are
My stock started with two ducks am
a drake which had cost me sevei
dollars. The first season I raise*
fifty-eight, sold forty-six, and kep
twelve to stock. They were read:
for market when eleven weeks old
and the lowest price was eighteen
cents a pound."

STILL FOUND NEAR ANDERSON.
Twenty-five Gallon Liquor Plant !

n 25-erallon liauor still 1
'? this afternoon. It was located in a ?
a cave and had been in operation uhtil 1
j a short time before discovery. The 1
worm and still were brought to the 1
' jail here, but one barrel of corn 1
" whiskey and three barrels of mash 1
were poured out. The still was near 1

? The Curse of Liquor. 1
5 Read this practical application: j
j "Statistics tell us that 90,000,000 j
5 gallons of alcohol are annually 2
poured into the blood and brains of
j people. When it is remembered that
j alcohol is a poison classed with arse- ;
t nic, corrosive sublimate and prussic
t acid, it is easy to conceive how "woe" ,
. attends the use of strong drink. The (
3 drinking man is ever a promoter of (
vice and crime and "wounds with- ;
f out cause" are his portion. (
"We build insane asylums, penitenj
tiaries, jails reformatories and alms
houses to take care of the traffic we ]
I legalize. Strange economy! The
j revenue gained through license is a t
paltry sum when compared with the 3
cost of the drink traffic. Language is ]
j inadequate to portray tne sorrow, am *
. and suffering caused by intemper.
ance. Men and women are blinded
by prejudice, policy, ignorance and
j indifference. Christian citizens have .
failed at the place where God gives
3 them power, and as a result the liI
quor traffic continues. Who is rej
sponsible for the evils of intemperance?
At the bar of God, justice
3 awaits all."
Predicts Pan-American Nation.
Asheville, N. C., March 28.?That
the whole of the American continent
will eventually become one great republic
under the government of what
i is now the United States, is the pre
diction made by Former Governor
t Folk in conversation here to-day.
i Gov. Folk declared that a clash be- v

is inevitable, and that it will come in
s the not distant future is his belief.
- The great influx of Americans in the ]
- grain fields and lumber region of t
y southwest Canada, each carrying <
a with him his natural allegiance to ;
e the United States, is the leaven i
q which he thinks eventually must de- i
, velop the clash between the United j
t States and her sister country on the
!. north. 1
i The situation in Mexico also offers
a food for serious thought, he admit- '
i ted. The natural antagonism of the ]
t Mexicans to the American mining in- 1
y terests in that country, which has ;
I, been kept under by President Diaz, <
a he thinks, will break out afresh at i
the death of the Mexican president. ]

Richardson Shoe Company, which in
1907 was decided insolvent. At that
time it was discovered that besides
money in this concern the president
tiad a credit of $250,000 on false
statements in Pennsylvania banks.
Warrants were sworn for his arrest.
A telephone message from Elmira

for an instant. Then before the
chief had a chance to make a move
the fugitive observed him, slammed
the door and bolted it. An instant
later the pistol shot rang out.
The door was broken open and Richardson
was found lying on the floor
with his head under the bed. A
3tream of blood was pouring from
bis head.

where it was run over and mangled
by a train some hours later. Bragg
was captured some distance from
Vesuvius and after a preliminary
bearing was sent to jail at Lexington

KILLS CHILDREN AND HERSELF.
Finding of Bodies in River Reveals
Doable Crime of Mother.
SImsbury, Conn., March 24.?The
bodies of Mrs. Amos Miller and her
two children were found in the
Farmington river this morning. The
children had been tied together before
drowning ensued and through
a note left by Mrs. Miller, the probabilities
are strong that she took their
lives and her own while mentally depressed.
Yestdrday afternoon Mrs. Miller
left home with the children. Mr. Miller
returned to the house about 5
o'clock and for a time did not worry ~
About dusk he began to look about
for some explanation of his wife's
disappearance and found a note in
his desk to the effect that she intended
to kill herself. Soon after daylight
this morning the three bodies
were found in the river some distance
from the Miller home.
The Psalm of Strife.
(With apologies to Longfellow).
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Strife is but an empty dream!
For unto the town that slumbers
Kickers are more hurtful than
thpv seem.
Business is real, contracts pressing,
And the kickers do them harm;
Pests they are, that keeps us guessing?
Knockers, that are void of charm.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Ts their destined end or way;
And they act that each tomorrow
People wish they'd leave and stay.
Work is long and time is fleeing
And our hearts, though stout and
brave,
We are up against it when competing
With a kicker and a knave.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of strife,
They're Mauds?-dod gast the cattle!
Whose hoofs are sharper than a
knife.
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant,
When the kickers have full sway; !
Act! Act in the living present,
And chase them all clear away.
Lives of Boosters all remind us
We can also help our town,
And departing leave behind us
Kind words and deeds, but not a
frown.
Deeds that perhaps another
Hap'ning to pass this way?
A moneyed, investing brother,
Seeing hustle will decide to stay., i
Let us then be up?get something )
doing,
With a heart for any fate,
And the kickers, still pursuing,
Chase them early, chase them
late.
