Thursday, April 15, 1909 .. jj.' . Why, of course the Southern Democrats in oongress voted for a duty on lumber, and nobody ought to be surprised. We' are free traders for buncombe solely. The South wants protection just as much as the 3j0gt\i. North or East or any other part of V the country. loirV; It looks like we ought to have a mass meeting or something of the %|||? kind, at which meeting the canditotes for mayor and aldermen should give the voters their views ||%p. on town government. Certainly the voters should know the ideas of the men for whom they vote. j$? (If Governor Ansel's administration should not be remembered for anything else, it will always be a source v of gratification to the law-abiding people of the State that he used the pardoning power with wisdom and iv . discretion. We are not an advocate p. of pardons as a usual thing, and ; never have we signed a petition for . executive clemency, but we think the governor was exactly right in pardonz7 " V* ing Tiner, of Spartanburg. Small pox has broken out in several towns of this State, and it would he well for the people of Bamberg to look after the matter of vacp$?r cination. We had a few cases of this disease here several years ago, > which cost the town considerable money, and another such experience as this should be avoided. The only way to prevent it is to have everybody vaccinated, and yet there are lots of people here who are not vac cinated. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The death of Judge T. J. Mackey : . removes one of the most picturesque figures of reconstruction days in >ir.. South Carolina and ODe of the few remaining veterans of the Mexican war. Judge Mackey was a member of the - Palmetto regiment in the Mexican war, which Col. J. D. Blanding, of S Sumter, commanded, but most of the members of this gallant band have passed away. We had an uncle in this regiment, who went West many years ago, and he was alive the last we heard of him, but this was about * fima in IOU JCdlB agU, auu at, uuib) iu conversation with Col. Blanding, he informed us that there were only about six members of the regiment then living. The State of South Carolina is pursuing a very foolish policy in regard to banks. We notice that Comptroller General Jones is instructing county auditors that bank stock must be assessed at its "true value in money." Why this discrimination? No other class of property pays taxes on anything like its true value in money, and the time will come and that soon when the banks will not submit to such gross discrimination against them. We believe in a square deal for corporations as well as individuals, and it is outrageous to require banking institutions to pay three times as much taxes in proportion as do individuals. All property should be taxed equally. Rate Bill is Introduced. Toll ohoeeno TTlo A nril 1 9 A I i axiauaoov/v, x iu.) xx^* ** x M* AX number of important bills were introduced in the lower house of the Florida legislature to-day, among them being one by Representative Tidwell, of Jackson, to provide for lower passenger fares on railroads within the State and one by Representative Alexander, of Volusia, prescribing fixed rates for transmission of telegrams within the State. Tidwell's rate bill provides for a passenger rate of two and three-quarter cents per mile on all roads in the State. Knowingly to charge or accept a higher rate than that prescribed is made a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. Alexandria's telegraph bill prescribes a rate of not more than 25 cents for any message of 10 words or less between points within the State. Violation is made a misdemeanor.

Voight, proprietor of the New York bakery, was killed about 11 o'clock to-day by his father-in-law, Mr. W. F. Flake. Voight was shot in the right chest with a single barrel shotgun, while he was attempting to enter the home of his father-in-law, after having been warned not to do so. The shooting was done at close range and death resulted instantly. Immediately after the tragedy Mr. Flake surrendered himself to Officer Tribble, of the police force, and was locked up in the city guard house and later on transferred to the county jail. Mr. Flake talked freely to a number of persons and says that while he regrets the tragedy, he feels that he was forced to kill Voight in order to save his own life. I The deceased, who was a German, came to this city about 18 months ago as a baker in the employ of the Sumter bakery. Later he bought the business and changed the name to the New York bakery. About six months ago he married a daughter of Mr. W. F. Flake, and soon after his marriage he began beating and ill treating her. This seems to have become a well-known fact and neither pleadings nor remonstrance, it is alleged, had any effect towards improving his conduct. This morning he met his wife on Dugan street and it is said slapped and cursed her. She then went to her father, asking that he do something to protect her, as she was very much afraid of her husband. Mr. Flake then went Derore Ke-1 corder Hurst and swore out a war-1 rant for Voight, charging him with assault. The warrant was served by Officer Weeks,. Voight putting up a bond of $10. Soon after this Mr. Flake was standing in front of the Farmers' Bank and Trust Company when Voight rode up on a bicycle and stopping on the edge of the sidewalk I said: "You got a warrant for me, did you?" Mr. Flake replied that he had, when Voight, it is said, making some threat, rode off. Mr. Flake went on to his home, and soon saw Voight approaching. He went to the front porch and warned Voight not to come to the house, but Voight, he claims, would not heed him. The warning was repeated several times, without effect, and as Voight reached the second step Flake fired, killing him instantly. Coroner Flowers soon empanelled a jury and they rendered a verdict that Andrew C. Voight come to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by a gun in the hands of W. F. Flake. Mr. Voight had no relatives in Sumter except his wife. His body was turned over to the Craig Furniture Company for oreparation for burial and will be held while efforts are being made to communicate with his relatives in New York. Mr. Flake has held a responsible position with the Sumter Telephone Manufacturing Company for some time and he has a reputation for being a quiet, peaceable citizen. Efforts will probably be made next week before Judge Gary to secure bail for Mr. Flake. Charleston Lad Died of Rabies. Charleston, S. C., April 11.?^Jarl Rink, nine years old, who was bitten three weeks ago by a mad dog while .-playing in front of his residence on Meeting street, died Saturday morning in frightful agony at the Riverside Infirmary, where he was sent for special treatment. The very day that the child was bitteft, his father took him to Atlanta, where the little fellow was treated at the Pasteur Institute. The dog's head was taken on to the institute and the fact was established that it was t>?3 Vvirl Vn< a'itViato nHin cr tho nrnmnt i ak/iu. vi n ivuovuuuiuq vu\/ i vu^v treatment, the inoculation must have been so serious that the usual sue- ; cess did not attend the treatment. The child was brought back to Charleston, apparently doing well, but his condition grew worse a few days ago and then the disease developed in all its serious forms and death alone ended the child's suffering. Given $50 for Being Born.. < New York, April 12.?Fifty dollars just for being born is the reward received by a boy baby, who arrived yesterday at the new Jewish Maternity hospital in East Broadway. The hospital authorities had promised $50 to the first child born 1 in the institution, and Mrs. Rose Epstein was the first to receive a visit from the stork. Fifty mothers had sent in their names, hoping to win the prize. Shot Three Peoplg. Hutchinson, Kas., April 12.? Horace Schwartz, a teamster, yesterday shot his wife, her brother, Marion Green, and a neighbor, Phineas Spain. He then attempted to end his own life by drinking carbolic acid. Mrs. Schwartz is in a critical condition. The men will recover. The police are looking for another man who took part in the shooting. Family trouble caused the affair. Dies in Electric Chair.. Ossining, N. Y., April 12.?For the murder of his mother, Susan Carlin, in her home in Brooklyn one year ago, Bernard Carlin, aged 22, was put to death by electricity in the State prison here at 6 a. m. today. One shock of the current, consisting of 1,840 volts only, was applied. A short delay in applying the current was caused by the accidental disconnection of one of the wires with an electrode. After a delay of nearly a minute the wire was adjusted, the current was turned on and a minute later Carlin was pronounced dead. Carlin had been an inmate of charitable or reformatory institutions a greater part of his life, beginning in infancy when his father died. He blamed his mother for permitting him to remain in these institutions and when he was released from the reformatory a year ago he immediately purchased a revolver, went direct to his mother's home and killed her. , * ' I LETTERS DISMISSORY. On Saturday, May 15th, I will file ray final account as guardian of Llewlie B. Wyman with Geo. B. Harmon, Judge of Probate for Bamberg county, and will thereupon ask for letters dismissory as such guardian. MRS. M. A. BAMBERG. Bamberg, S C., April 14, 1909.
