TINER SERVING SENTENCE.
||p President of Law and Order League
Who Killed Kirby.
S. S. Tiner, formerly president of
SM^ the Law and Order League, of Pacolet,
went to Columbia last Friday
and surrendered himself to the su-;
perintendent of the State penitenti-1
; It appears that instead of making j
an appeal to the State supreme court j
{g|J from the verdict and sentence of the
^ lower court, he will begin to serve
?3^ sentence with the hope that some
Sp- time he will receive executive clemlpt.V;
ency. He was convicted of man:
slaughter, having been tried in January
for the killing of Ed Kirby, at
Pacolet station, on the morning of
?j|?,v November 20, last.
Tiner's plea was self-defense. He
fc- seems to have stood well in the com
-L ma- 1
munity, ior Mr. victor m. jyiumgumery,
president of the mill, and one
of the most prominent mill managers
in the South, made a plea to Gov.
Ansel in Tiner's behalf. In fact, the
petition for pardon was presented
i"V some time ago, but Gov. Ansel declined
to give it any consideration at
- alf, as the defendant had not surrendered
himself to the prison auKj
thorities.
A special to The State from Spartanburg
says that "Hon. Stanyarne
Wilson, who represented Tiner, said
to-night that the effort to secure pardon
had not been abandoned, and he
hoped for favorable action on the
part of the governor in a few
pp days."
p INDIANS GOOD FARMERS.

and Prosperous.
The Indians of the great Canadian
prairie province of Shaskatchewan
' are disproving the theory that the Indian
won't work unless he has to.
They are becoming not only industri4
nrAonOrAn C?
UUO UUl piVO^/ViVUO.
There are nearly 8,000 Indians in
the province, and last year they had
about 9,000 acres under crops. They
raised 150,572 bushels of grain and
roots and 36,000 tons of hay, all of a
value of $136,023.
The department of Indian affairs
reports that the Indians are turning
more and more to the soil for a living.
The agent of the Assiniboine
agency, which may be regarded as
typical, writes:
"I was greatly pleased to find that
the area under crop was almost double
what it was the year before. The
band had about 600 acres of wheat
and 200 acres of oats. The Indians
of this agency are beginning to farm
on a large scale, and if they continue
to do as well as they have in the
past two years, there will be some
good sized farmers among them. One
man had 155 acres in crop and another
125 acres, and several had 75
? acres each. There was a decided improvement
in the way the land had
been farmed."

RUCKSTUHL SELECTED.
To Make Monument to Women of
Confederacy. J
The woman's monument commission,
recently appointed by Gov. Ansel
in conformity with an act of the
legislature, met in the governor's office
and was in session for three
hours. The commission is composed
of Capt. J. G. Richards, Jr., of
Kershaw, Gen. C. Irvine Walker, of
Charleston, Capt. C. A. Reed, of Anderson,
Col. T. J. Moore, of Spartanburg,
and Capt. Wm. E. Gonzales,
of Columbia.
Gen. Walker was eleoted chairman
and Capt. Gonzales secretary
and treasurer. Several letters were
read from Daughters of the Confederacy
sugegsting other forms of memorial
than a monument, but the
commission is of course powerless to
deviate from the act of the legislature,
which specifies a monument
"with a granite base" and with inscriptions.
Upon motion of Mr. Richards, the

pealing to all camps of veterans and
Sons of Veterans to appoint committees
in their respective counties to
collect money for the monument
fund.
A resolution was also adopted expressing
the thanks of the commission
to The State and to the press of
South Carolina generally for the
work in behalf of the fund that has
been done and urging continued
activity by the newspapers in this
cause. The matter of the selection
of an artist was considered very
thoroughly, the debate on this point
occupying the greater part of the
long session. The commission finally
determined that it could not do better
than to elect the same sculptor
who had performed such admirable
service to the people of South Carolina
in the production of the Hampton
equestrian statue, and the mar'

the model for which has recently
been accepted by the Calhoun monument
commission.
Mr. F. Wellington Ruckstuhl has
impressed all with whom he has
come in contact in his work for
South Carolina, not only with faith
in his splendid artistic ability, but
with belief in his devotion to the
South.
It is probable that Mr. Ruckstuhl
will have a conference with the
committee about the middle of May.
He will leave in June for Italy to
complete the work on the Calhoun
statue.?Columbia State.

IN THE CONGO.
Traveler Explains How the Troubles
of Missionaries Arose.
Consul General Wheatley, of the
Congo Free State, who was seen at
the New Willard by a Washington
Herald reporter, spoke in regard to
the reported request made of Secretary
Bacon by a representative of the
Southern Presbyterian church that
an investigation be made into the
circumstances of the trial of certain
American missionaries in the Congo
Free State for libel, in connection
witn meir rtjyona ui mc tuuumuu
of .the natives, and said:
"The trouble seems to have arisen
from the fact that certain Protestant
missionaries in the Congo, who apparently
have little sympathy with
the Belgians, have wanted to run the
country according to their own ideas,
and have used indiscreet language
about Belgian officers who disagreed
with them.
"According to the accounts which
we have from trustworthy sources in
the Congo, Count Ferdinand de
Grunne, who is a young man of high
reputation, and a member of one of
the best families in Belgium, found
it his duty, for the maintenance of
public order to compel certain natives
who were loafing about the
American Presbyterian mission at
Luebo to return to the- tribes to
which they belonged?just as the
American government compels the
Indians to stay on their reservations.
For this action some of the
American missionaries seem to have
called him names, and brought
charges for cruelty, and even of
slaveraiding, against him. It seems
that the Rev. Mr. Morrison, of the
American Presbyterian mission, was
the chief person with whom Count
de Grunne had disputations. The
Count de Grunne brought suit for
libel."
Killed by Falling Timber.
Wilmington, N. C., April 5.?E. M.
Gregg, a well known merchandise
broker, while talking to a friend on
the street here this morning, was
caught under a collapsing pile of
brick and building material on the
site of the new Woolvin building,
near Third and Princess streets, and
instantly killed. The accident occurred
as Mr. Gregg was on his way
down to business and stopped for a
talk with Mr. John Hand at the
Woolvin building.
Mr. Gregg was standing with his
back to the pile of debris whem for
some unknown reason, it gave way
and came crashing down. Mr. Hand
jerked his associate to one side, but
was too late. A heavy window frame
on top of the brick struck Mr. Gregg
on the back of the head, killing him
instantly. Mr. Gregg was about 55
years old and belongs to a leading
South Carolina family. He leaves a
wife and one little daughter.

HORSE PUNCHES THE BAG.
Clever Animal Keeps Leather Ball
Hamming 10 minutes at Stretch.
, Talk about trained seals! John
Ackerman, who lives near Livingston,
N. J., has a horse that is as skilful
at punching the bag as any amateur
or professional boxer. Sam, the bagpunching
horse, is a 5-year-old bay,
with a distinguishing white star between
his eyes.
Two months ago Ackerman's son,
George, inspired with a desire to develop
his muscles, purchased a
punching bag and set it up in the
barn. It was placed so it hung diretly
in the path of the horses as they
entered and left the place. Three of
the four horses paid little attention
to the leather sphere suspended from
the ceiling, but the first time that
Sam bumped into it he was aroused
to a fighting temper which prompted
him to snap at it with his teeth.
Gradually the horse learned to play
with the bag as he passed in and out
of the stall, and soon he was able to
bang it so hard that it flew back and
forward several times with one sharp
blow from the animal's nose. Young
Ackerman then started the training
of Sam, and in a few weeks the
horse developed remarkable skill at
punching the bag. So far he uses
only his nose to keep the bag going,
but young Ackerman, delighted with
his success as a trainer, expects to
educate the animal to use his forefeet
as well.
The horse enters into the game
with great enthusiasm, and with
flashing eyes and arched neck he is a
picture of grace as he keeps the bag
humming for ten minutes at a
stretch.?New York Press.
Trouble With Indians.
There has been a good deal of excitement
throughout Oklahoma during
the past ten days, because of an
Indian war that has been in progress
there. The trouble commenced with
the Creeks, under the leadership of
an old chief named Crazy Snake. He
took out a band of full bloods, half
breeds and negroes, declaring that he
would fight for his rights. The Indians
have never been reconciled to
the allotment of their lands in severalty
and do not like to pay the
taxes required by civilization. Two
deputies named Odom and Barm
were killed by the Indians, and also
a negro named Barnett. There were
reports of the killing of a large number
of Indians by a sheriff's posse
and the militia, but this has not materialized.
Under pressure of quite
a force sent against him, Crazy
Snake has surrendered.
Up Before the Bar.
N. H. Brown, an attorney, of Pittsfield,
Vt., writes: "We have used Dr.
King's New Life Pills for years and
find them such a good family medicine
we wouldn't be without them."

TIGERS IN CHARLESTON.
i
Dispensary Auditor West Reports to
Governor.
Columbia, April 1.?Dispensary
Auditor West last night made bis report
to Gov. Ansel of his investigation
into the Charleston beer scandal,
revealing that the Charleston
board is admittedly impotent to control
the situation in the face of the
tiger situation. He finds that while
the sale of beer in Charleston, outside
the tigers amounted last year to
$245,386.15, the net profits to the
county board was $28,396.16.
Although Richland county with
sales of $91,073.33 got a net profit of
$23,159.19; and although beer was
sold in the latter county $.1 cheaper
per cask and Charleston had a big
advantage in water freight rates.
Briefly stated the report reveals
that the tiger and beer people in
Charleston are holding the board up
for $50,000 to $75,000 a year in profits,
the board being afraid to tighten
the lines for fear that what little
business it has will be taken away.
Eighty per cent, of the public are
now buying from the tigers. In its
method of dealing through the beer
establishment the reports says the
board is violating the law and that
the Robert L. Graham beer concern
is also violating the law.
Fine Setter Dog.
4 You have heard about foxes raising
litters of rabbits and cats acting
the mother to little mice," drawled
the unvarnihed nature faker as he
helped himself to a slice of cheese,
"but, gentlemen, I have one that
beats these yarns all to a frazzle.
When I was living in the next State
I had an old dog that scared the hen
off her nest and hatched out a brood
of chicks."
"Come off Judson!" chorused the
four and twenty loungers sitting on
the barrels.
"It's a fact as I told it. Before that
setting incident in the hen house
that old dog wasn't worth a dollar,
hut after that I sold her to a drummer
for $50 down."
The loungers gasped.
"You did?"
"Yes, I told him it was the finest
setter dog in the country."?Chicago
