I Infant of Graniteville Parents Meets
Fearful Death. j
Aiken, April 25.?Information has
reached this city of the harrowing
death of an infant in Graniteville
last night, when the little. 6-months'old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce
Howard had the misfortune to have
its neck broken. Last night, in the
early part of the evening, while Mr.
Howard was in Aiken, Mrs. Howard
placed her baby on a bed to sleep.
The bed was an iron one, with perpendicular
rods at the head and foot.
Mrs. Howard stepped out of the
house for two or three minutes, and
during her absence, in some way the
little child got its head between the
norTM>nriinnlfl.r rods, and when Mrs.
Howard returned to the house she
found her baby with its body dangling
from the bed, and its head fastened
between the rods. It survived
a few minutes after she rescued it
from its position, but its neck had
. been broken in its attempts to free
- its head from the bed. Mrs. Howard
wasx almost prostrated with grief.
Mr. Howard arrived a few minutes
later from Aiken. Mr. Howard is a
brother of Chief Henry Howard, of
the Aiken police force.
Unknown Negro Killed.
Florence, April 24.?Train No. 79,
running between Fayetteville and
Florence, killed an unknown negro
? < this morning just beyond the transfer
station of the Atlantic Coast Line.
It seems that the negro was aaleep
on the track with his head across one
of the rails when the engine struck
' him. In the absence of the coroner,
Magistrate C. S. McClenagahan held
the inquest, and after viewing the
body the jury returned a verdict that
deceased came to his death from his
own carelessness.
Hardee ville Man Drowned.
Savannah, Ga., April 22.?Earle
Lanier Wayne, of Hardeeville, S. C.J
son-in-law of Capt. W. W. Starr, of
Savannah, and well known here, was
drowned in Isle of Hope river, near
here this afternoon when the boat
from which he was fishing was capsized.
His body has been recovered.
A young boy who was with him swam
to the marshes and was saved. Mrs.
Wayne, his wife of less than two
years, was waiting for her husband
on the river bank and the announcement
that he would not come back
caused her almost complete collapse.

BLACK HAND WORK.
Diabolical Injury or Insult (?) Perpetrated
on Prominent Citizen.
The Black Hand is at work here,
oo-ee. Sure. Ask Mr. A. S. Hartzog.
Last week the following letter reached
him through the Greenwood postoffice.
It was addressed:
"Mr. Sid Hartzog,
Non Compos Mentis."
Mr. Hartzog got the letter. He has
under advisement the matter of
I * * s TT^aIa
urmgius ail auuuii against. uuuc
Sam for delivering the letter.
Inside the letter, on the top of the
page, appears a skull and cross bones
on one side, and a rude, but unmistakable
coffin on the other, and these
words that "freeze the soul"?(See
patent medicine ad. in this issue):
"B ware we ARE on Yore Trail.
If you WANT to avoid a horibul
deth plase 45 cents under the Sity

drawn the terrible and unmistakable
Black Hand.

To Register Lies.
i
One of the latest electrical devices
is designed to register emotions, and
incidentally to tell when a man is
lying. The idea is that the instrument
is placed in contact with the
pulsation of the heart, say of a witness
on the stand, and when the witness
tells an unusually big lie, the
emotion or fear of detection exciting
the pulsation register in large disturbed
lines on the instrument. If
this is not a correct statement of the
working of the instrument, some one
else may give a better one.
It is said that the instrument is
not yet perfect. We hope it may
never be, and furthermore if it
should be, that no agency be established
in this town.
It is not that we lie without occasion
and out of malice, but we
would not be deprived of the constitutional
privilege. It would be
manifestly unfair to expose the conscience
to public gaze. We are like
the old lady who visited a sleight of
hand performance and insisted on
leaving because as she said: "her
calico wasn't no protection agin that
man's eyes."

TILLMAN TALKS.
Is Opposed to Breaking of the Solid
CI XU
guuuji
New York, April 2 2.-^-Senator
Benjamin R. Tillmaii talked on the
Taft policy of breaking up the solid
South to-night before a dinner of the
South Carolinians at the Hotel
Knickerbocker. Senator Tillman
does not approve of it and he said
so without making much ado over 1
it.
"I'm not the sort," said he, "that
likes to throw bouquets at anybody.
I'd rather throw rocks instead." Then
he got to it. "There is one thing

most of the time. It boils up once
in a while and when I'm called on to
make a speech, why, it just naturally
comes to the surface. I mean the
problem, the South's problem, the
problem of the Sphinx.
"Why is -the South solid? Why
does it always vote the Democratic
ticket? We are in the minority.
Why should the other fellow be com- 1
ing along now and try to bamboozle
us and lead us off after false gods
after all these years? Why the Democratic
ticket?the Democratic ticket
in this day and time? Why do I vote
for the Democracy? Because I'm a
white man. That's why.
"Taft thinks seriously and earnestly
that it would be good to have
the South split up. It would be a
great thing for the Republican grab i
game in Washington. He says the :
election laws that the Southern
States have passed have made us
free of this black peril, and that it
would be well for us to get some of
the goods that comes from being
uiemuerB ui tutj uuu.uua.iii pany.'
"You might think, if you only
think on the surface, that there are
benefits to be derived from what Mr.
Taft urges."

ATTEMPT TO KILL NEGRO.
John Hill Seriously Wounded in Higgins
Ferry Section.
Saluda, April 21.?News has been
received here of an attempt at assassination
of a negro, John HilL
who lives on Mr. W. E. Long's place
in the Higgins Ferry section of the
county. The negro is badly and
perhaps fatally shot. About 8
o'clock Tuesday nignt young uiauae
Long heard a gunshot, hut no especial
attention was paid to it. It developed
this morning that it was this
shot that wounded the negro, John
Hill, who lived in a small house on
the place by himself and that all
night long he had suffered and lost
blood 'on the floor of his home and
that no one heard his cries for help.
He is shot in the head. All that he
recalls of the incident is that some
one called to him to open the door.
As he did so he says he was clubbed.
An examination of the wounds shows
that he is mistaken in this as the
only wounds are those of a gunshot.
The theory is that when he opened
the door the party from the outside
fired upon him.
There is a party suspected, but
no arrest has been made.
Injunctions Against "Tigers."
Charleston, April 22.?Five injunctions
were received here and
Berved to-day by the constables upon
alleged blind tigers and owners of
premises. The injunctions, with
probably one exception, were against
parties who are less prominent ur uw
torious in the business. The injunctions
have been expected for some
days. The receipt and service of papers
in contempt proceedings against
blind tigers who have been already
enjoined but who are violating the
order are now expected.
Floyd's Nomination Confirmed.
Washington, April 23.?William
M. Floyd, in the vernacular called
"Mart," is happy. The senate of the
United States in executive session
sitting to-day formally, unequivocally
and unanimously confirmed him as
postmaster of Spartanburg, which he
had rather be, he says, than "king
of England." His commission dates
from to-day. He will return to
Spartanburg forthwith and make formal
announcement- of the policies of
his administration.

HEMPHILL AT WHITE HOUSE.
Editor of The News and Courier Calls i
on President Taft.
Washington, April 24.?Mr. J. C.
Hemphill, editor of The News and
Courier, was in Washington to-day on
his way home from New York. He
made a call at the White House and
was cordially received by the President.
When Mr. Hemphill reached the
executive offices, just before noon,
much of the available space was occupied
by delegates to the D. A. R.
convention, but in a few minutes the
South Carolina editor got to see Secretary
Carpenter. When the president
heard that Mr. Hemphill was there
he had him taken in immediately,
~ ^ v./-,,-,or, troro mnnv nfhfirs
a 1111 tuuugu tUVAV ?? VAV ,
present at the time, stopped everything
to welcome him.
Mr. Hemphill received a most cordial
invitation to dinner.
He also saw Senator Tillman and
other South Carolina friends during
his brief stay in Washington, and
left for home this afternoon.
Just as Mr. Hemphill was leaving
the White House the president said
that he thought as much of him as he
could think of any Democrat, and
Mr. Hemphill replied that he thought
as much of the president as he could
of any Republican.
BYSTANDER STRUCK BY BULLET.
Shot Aimed at Another Kills Tennessee
Merchant.
Knoxville, Tenn., April 25.?Sim
Sexton, a merchant at Huntsville,
Tenn., was killed at that place on
Saturday night, although nothing
was known of the tragedy until Sunday
morning.
His dead body was found on a
business street. When killed he was
on his way home from his store.
Shortly after he had stepped out into
the street shots were fired, trouble
having arisen/between several young
men from Helenwood, a neighboring
town, and a party of young Huntsville
men.
Sexton was seen to start on a run
when the shooting began, and it was
not known that he had been struck.
Buster Reed, of Helenwood, aged 18,
was arrested to-day, charged with the
shooting.
It is said that Reed was shooting
at Caldwell Phillips, when Sexton
was killed. The deceased is a man
of family and a son of County Trustee
R. B. Sexton.
