.. 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.

(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.

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.

SUMTER BAKER KILLED.
German Named Voight Shot Down by
his Father-in-Law.
Sumter, April 10.?Mr. A. C.
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.
