w k FARMER'S BODY IX POXD. John Coles, Stricken with Apoplexy, | Falls into Water. * Greenville. July IS.?A party of four well-known young men of this j city went seining in the old water reservoir, near the toot of Paris Mountain, seven miles from the city, last night, and one of the party, John Coles, became lost and was found in, the bottom of the pond to-day, dead. The party was composed of Arthur * Shockley, L. M. Gray, and Buck Foster. all well-known boys of Green ville, and Coles, who was a prominent farmer of the county. The party was seining in water about eight feet deep, and did not know of the death t of Coles until they started to draw the net in, when they found that no one was on it. They went at once to work hunting for Coles and called and walked all through the woods, but could not find him. They then decided that he had been lost in the -a a. j ji pona ana sianea to aive tor ms uuu.? where they thought he had gone V down. Their efforts were of no avail until this morning, when one of the party dived and found him. The hody was brought to the bank and examined. There was no water in the body. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from apoplexy or some natural cause. It is not thought that he was drowned, as he did not make a sound when he went down and no water was in his body when found. ? ' Coles is survived by seven children. He was one of the largest farmers in that section of the county and was well known in Greenville, where he had a number of friends. His death is much regretted by people of Greenville and by the party that was with him. Tortured on a Horse. "For ten years I couldn't ride a horse without being in torture from " n,.Uno T.

Through a peculiar accident Mrs. Wallace Kittel, of Glendola, has lost the sight of her right eye. ' Returning home from a visit to a niece in Millville, she found her skirt very dusty and started to shake it. Suddenly there was a piercing pain in her eye, and reaching up quickly she pulled out a pin that did not come out easily, but when it did a quantity of waterlike fluid poured forth in her hand. The pin had been shot from the skirt. Suffering great pain and unable to see with the injured eye, Mrs. Kittel was hurried to an eye specialist in Long Branch, but he gave her no hope of ever seeing with the eye again. The physician said that had she pressed a finger over the wound to retain the fluid partial sight would have been saved. Bond Issue Considered. Washington, July 17.?The proposed Panama canal bond issue to meet the needs of the treasury occupied most of the time of the cabinet yesterday. Secretary MacVeagh presented a draft of the measure prepared by him, which authorizes the leonan^o r\f hr?nH? tr> the full extent of the cost of the canal, including $130,000,000 already authorized for that ' purpose. The bonds bear three per cent interest and run 50 years. There will be no issuance of the entire amount immediately and it was even stated that while the present situation warrants immediate steps to safeguard the government by securing the authority for a bond issue, no decision has been finally reached as to issuing any amount of bonds and the change in the tide of revenue might make it unnecessary to put any of them on the market. Jury Disagrees in Kennedy Case. Barnwell, July 18.?After a deliberation of 12 hours the jury in the case of J. Chester Kennedy, charged with being an accessory in the murder of W. Perry Ussery in the town ? of Barnwell last fall, filed into the court room and announced to Judge Gary that there was no possible chance of an agreement being reached. Some reports are that the jury stood seven to five in favor of conviction and some that there were eight to four in favor of acquittal. It is known that there was practically no differences between the jury as to what the facts and law were, immediately after they retired, and there were no changes during the night in the different votes taken. The case may be called again next week by the solicitor for another trial as it is in his power to do so. i Hose Wagon Hams Church. I "Rnslpv Ala.. .Tulv 18.?A serious (panic was narrowly averted at the Ensley First Methodist church to-day when a hose wagon of the fire department, dashing at full speed, crashed into the front door just as the services had ended. Mrs. B. C. Chapman, who was emerging from the church, was knocked down, had her skull fractured and one rib . broken, and will probably die. *' The horses got beyond the control r of Driver C. R. Morrison and ran from the outer corner straight toward the church door. Morrison was arrested but later was released on bond. For a time, because many thought the driver careless, there was considerable talk of violence. * Ball Player Kills Critic. Selma, Ala., July 18.?At Massillon, near Selma, yesterday afternoon, during a base ball game, a young white man named Kendricks struck out. Will Whitley, a negro spectator, made a scoffing remark on the playing of Kendricks, who walked to where the negro stood and striking him on the head with a baseball bat killed him instantly. mi . % DISPENSARY ELECTION. The Last Call Sent Out by Auditor West. By direction of Governor Ansel. Dispensary Auditor West is sending out the "last call for breakfast." as it were, regarding the great drought that is to fall over the State like a sad, sad pall on the morning of Au<?"? '> TT-v.cn ovorv dinnpnearv in the 5UOt U y r% LLS^L* VT vi j -? - State must close its doors tight to stay closed till the morning of the ISth. the day after the election provided for by the act of the last legislature. From the ISth to the 15th of November all counties in the State now wet will remain wet?including those which go dry in next month's election, the dispensaries of the counties voting dry remaining open to dispose of their stock. On the morning of the 15th of November those dispensaries voted out will close and go out of business, while the others will continue to do business. Depot at Yorkville Burns. Yorkville, July 15.?The depot of the Carolina & Northwestern railway at this place, a commodious and well made building, was destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock this morning. The fire, the origin of which is unknown, seems to have started in the freight room, and very soon the whole building was a mass of flames. The fire department responded promptly and by most efficient work kept the flames under control and saved valuable property on all sides of the depot. The little freight on hand and the contents of the office were a total loss by fire and water. Agent Long stated that he left the depot at 9 o'clock last night and parties passing there just before the alarm and neighbors say they saw no signs of fire nor any one about the depot. While the loss on building and contents is considerable it cannot be estimated at this time. The safe with tickets was saved and an office opened in one of the waiting rooms. Through the courtesy of Mackorel Bros., wholesale grocers, in lending the use of their office adjoining, business goes on as usual. Will Build Mill at Greer. Greenville, July 17.?There appears to be no limit to the building of mills in this county, and hardly a fortnight passes now without a new textile plant being projected or actual construction being begun or some new mill. Ground was broken yesterday for the new mill at Greer, the contract being in the hands of the Gallivan Building Company, Greenville, John Robinson is president of the new mill, and he says the plant will be in operation by September 1. The building will cost about $100,000, and the machinery and houses for the operatives will cost about three times that amount. The plant has contracted with the Southern Power Company and it will be electrically driven. The Gallivan Company announced yesterday that it has also been awarded contract for the new mill at Arcadia, the building to cost about $40,000. Three Criminals Escape. Charlotte, N. C., July 18.?James Brookshire, a noted moonshiner, Wilbur James, a retailer, and Hill Loudermilk, convicted of seduction, all serving terms in Cherokee county jail at Murphy, broke jail early this morning and none of the trio has been recaptured, escape was enected by sawing through the stout steel bars of their cage and a window, but who furnished the equipment with which they did this is a matter the officials are trying to ferret out. Brookshire is a desperate character, his arrest in the mountains near Murphy 10 days ago requiring the united efforts of a sheriff and a large posse. Turns Joy to Mourning. Brunswick, Ga., July 18.?Within a half hour after he reached home after an absence of a year at Rome, Ga., and while distributing presents among the members of the family, J. Edgar Smith, aged 20, shot and almost instantly killed his 14-year-old sister, Rebe, who was standing at his side watching him as he showed his father a pistol he had brought home for him. The ball entered the girl's forehead. The father, mother, sisters and brothers were standing near. The girl was young Smith's favorite of his sisters and was nearest him. The young man had examined the pistol, which was of the automatic kind, and believed it empty. He stated that even though he believed the magazine contained no cartridge he would not have Dulled the trigger, but did so accidentally. The father, W. J. Smith, had made special preparations to welcome the young man at his home-coming and it was planned that after he had distributed the presents the family would sit down to a reunion feast. "It Ain't Fair. "The federal government is to-day issuing licenses for the sale of liquor in territory where the local authorities have prohibited the sale. In several States the sale of liquor is prohibited by statute, in a number of States its sale is prohibited in a majority of the counties, and in all States it is prohibited in many villages, towns, cities and precincts. But in spite of the attempt of local authorities in these districts to prohibit the sale of liquor as a beverage, the federal government continues to issue licenses in contemptous disregard of local sentiment and local law. The government receives $25 for each license, and in receiving the money it must either intend to collect that sum without giving anything valuable in return (in case the one receiving the license does not sell liquor) or to encourage the one receiving the license to violate the local law, for he can not use his license without violating the law. Can the Federal government afford to continue a partner with the lawbreakers?"?W. J. Bryan, in the Commoner. COUNTY DEBTS GROWING. Comptroller General Says People Do Not Realize Conditions. Columbia, July 14.?"A classified statement of bonded indebtedness by counties would startle the people of this State into a realization of a most serious state of affairs that exists from one end of the State to the other." said Comptroller General Jones to-day. "Few people realize how steadily and rapidly this indebtedness is climbing up. I really can form no accurate conception of the j true facts myself, but I know that it j has climbed to an alarming degree, | and the situation is getting worse | steadily. "Probably the most serious part1 of this business is the way the debts of the counties are piling up. A county will get behind with a floating debt on its hands, and the next thing we hear of is that the county's delegation is down here with a scheme to dispose of this indebtedness with bonds. 1 know of one county that has had its bonded debt increased to . about $300,000 within recent years. "This office has had in view the work of compiling a statement of this bonded condition for some time, but this would require a great amount of work, the sending of a special man out over the State as well as almost endless work in the office, and we simply have never gotten to it, and probably never will. The legislature does not give us sufficient office force. "People wonder that a county treasurer occasionally gets mixed up in his accounts and goes short. It's a wonder to me that more of them don't get into trouble. The system of bookkeeping has been so complicated by the requirements of the legislature, until I am expecting somebody in the next legislature to advocate the appointment of a State auditor to dc nothing but look after this sort of oifices. "School districts have gone mad ' ? * 5-1 ? ?1 issuing Donas ior special suuuui purposes. There are over fifty new ones thjs year. The treasurer is required to keep each of these separate and the dog and poll tax collected in each district separate. Why, a man paying his tax from any part of the county may elect under the law to have his taxes go to any school district he may name, or even to any special school." Mr. Jones relates an amusing illustration of such a complication in his own experience in Abbeville county. His farm which is split almost in the centre by the Seaboard road, is sliced by four school districts from different sides, each running down on his farm to take in a slice of the Seaboard so as to get part of the taxes the road pays.

Allendale, July 17.?The "Fats and Leans" played great ball at East 1 End park yesterday afternoon. An accident occurred, however, which ! brought the game to an abrupt close. Mr. H. M. Griffin was holding second base for the Leans. A baserunner ran into him, breaking Mr. Griffin's leg ] about six inches above the ankle. The ( patient is doing fairly well this morning. < THIRTY GALLONS POURED OUT. \ Contraband Liquor Emptied Into the Gutter in Laurens. Laurens, July 16.?Thirty gallons of "good licker" coursing down the 1 sewer main of this city is the sad tale of an official act by Sheriff Owings and his constables this morning. 'Twas a mournful spectacle to many ?some "cussed." In the large crowd of by-standers there were watery mouths galore; eyes were widened with astonishment; some wished they were fishes in the waters of Little river, into which this "oil of joy" was flowing. Some one, no names, simply could not stand the sight, and to "get even" with the sheriff wrote on one of tb.e cases about to be opened. "Sheriff Jno. D. Owings, Laurens, S. C. Express Prepaid," and then the laugh was on the officer for bringing out his own "jug" and destroying it by mistake. The 30 gallons of whiskey have been held in the sheriff's office for the allotted 30 days. It has been seized at various times from persons in and around Laurens, who were under suspicion of selling it. No UiaiUl aiiu ucnvci^ yapci a liavmg been served upon the officers, it was destroyed this morning by due process of law. This is the first official act of this kind in these parts in many years. Ways of the Blind Tiger. In speaking of the murder of the two dispensary constables recently in Colleton county, the WalterborO Press and Standard says Messervey, the blind tiger, who did the killing, "bears a bad reputation in his community. He has been a notorious blind tiger for a long time, and has a term on the chain gang to his credit some years ago for selling < whiskey. The package he had in the i wagon was fifty gallons of alcohol to i be used in the manufacture of blind < tiger liquor. This has been captured i by Magistrate Towles." We call the i attention of people who drink blind i tiger poison to the fact that this man 1 Messervey. had in his possession fifty gallons of alcohol out of which he in- i tended to manufacture whiskey for i his customers. That is why blind ' tiger whiskey causes people to com- < mit.such murders as sometimes takes ; place in prohibition counties.?Or- i angeburg Times and Democrat. $ ' SEVEN PERSONS BURNED. Two Dead and Two Fatally Injured by Gasoline Explosion. Sylvesta. Ga., July 14.?Two persons are dead, two mortally injured, while three others are more or less seriously hurt as the result of an explosion of the gasoline tank on the touring car of George M. Hill, late last night at Jacksonboro bridge, five miles from this place. The dead: Howlett Hill, Miss Fannie Mills. The fatally injured: George M. Hill, Jr., twin brother of Hewlett Hill; Mrs. George M. Hill. The seriously injured: Miss Rubie Thomas, badly burned; George M. Hill, severely burned about head and trunk; Miss Lurline Cooper, severely burned; George Hillton, aged 14, painfully burned. Mr. and Mrs. Hill had taken a party of young people for a moonlight outing. While preparing to leave for town the car was backed into the bridge, the tank containing compressed gasoline being ripped off. The fluid was thrown over the occupants and flames quickly spread, covering the entire party. The clothing of the two infants and the women was almost entirely consumed. Several youths gave such aid as they could, but it was not until the shrieking women were dragged into the waters of the creek that the flames were extinguished. News of the accident was telephoned here from a farmer's house, two miles from the scene, and physicians were rushed to the bridge. The injured were brought here at an early hour to-day. MARRIED MAN ARRESTED. N. E. W. Sistrunk Accused of Eloping With Miss Norris. Greenville, July 17.?Charged in a warrant sworn out by the father of Miss Louise W. Norris, of Greenwood, who had eloped from her home in Greenwood with him, with being a fugitive from justice, N. E. W. Sistrunk, a merry-go-round operator, about 24 years of age, whose home is in Spartanburg, where his wife and her mother live, was taken into custody by the officers here to-day and held until late in the afternoon, when his mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma C. Cash, of Spartanburg, said to be worth considerably more than $50,000, gave bond in the sum of $500 for his appearance before the court in Oconee county within the next three months. The father of the girl (she is about 22 years old) came here in company with his friend, Mr. J. K. Durst, president of the bank in Greenwood, and took the young woman home. She confesses to having left McCormick, where she had been visiting, with Sistrunk and to having followed him to Augusta, Atlanta and back to Seneca, where he was arrested and where she naid his fine of 840. She drew out of the bank $300, all the money she had, and left with the man whose wife was in Spartanburg. When the train from Seneca arrived to-day the conductor informed Officer McLeskey of some trouble the man had been in in Seneca and that he was then in company with the girl. Sistrunk was at once arrested and the girl went to the Mansion house, where she registered as Miss Louise W. Norris, Greenwood. After his arrest Sistrunk sent a wire to his wife and she and her mother came to the city at once. In the meantime the father had gone before Magistrate Stradley and sworn out a warrant, charging the man with being a fugitive from justice. Sistrunk went before the justice of the peace with the wife and her mother and Mrs. Cash gave a certified bond for $500. The man accompanied his wife to Spartanburg in the evening. At first it was thought that the charge of abduction would be lodged against Sistrunk, but it seems that 3uch a charge could not be substantiated, the woman being old enough to know her mind, so it was said bv the attorneys for the man. Just what charge will be preferred against him is a matter of conjecture. Mr. Norris is one of the best known citizens of Greenwood. For a number of years he has been the agent of the Seaboard Air Line railroad there and for a long time his daughter worked in the office with him. Recently she went to McCormick to visit friends and while there met Sistrunk, who was operating a merrygo-round and who boarded at the same house with her. He is alleged to have persuaded her to leave with him. They went to Augusta and from there to Atlanta. They are alleged to have registered as man and wife at hotels they visited. The Substantial South. For at least 30 years past Northern capital by untold millions has been pouring into the South?to Chattanooga, Birmingham, Bessemer, to the innumerable cotton mills of Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas, to the sugar industries of Louisiana, to the great forests of 10 States, to the enormous railway systems everywhere, to everything that even promises an adequate profit on the in vestment. Early fruits and vegetables! The Illinois Central has been carrying them into Chicago from Louisiana, Mississippi, etc., for more than a quarter of a century. Florida and Georgia have been gorging New York and the East during the same period. As for water power, look at Charlotte, N. C., and a dozen similar towns. They are lighted more brilliantly than New York, paved better than Washington?which is not saying very much, however?and are clean, prosperous and go-ahead as possible. Consider Staunton, Va., a model city in every way and rich as cream. Go where you please, the indications of growth, expansion and prosperity are visible to the naked eye throughout the South. And it is all a legitimate and logical development?not the product of windy dinner table speeches or newspaper hysterics. The South is all right. It is growing as fast as it ought, and the money needed for that purpose is always forthcoming. Maybe the Southerners are not building good roads as fast as they might, but that is not going to be rectified at Washington. ?New York Sun.

July 17.?The long se ries of robberies which have beei committed in Greenville during th< last month will no doubt now b< brought to an end, as the locai offi cers have under arrest Sun Huff. < negro, whom they charge with th< robberies. Over forty homes hav< been entered in the past month anc money, anywhere from five to a hun dred or so dollars,taken. The citizen: have arisen in arms and their de mand for protection was brought to i head several days ago in the organi zation of a vigilance league of fifteei business men of the city, fully armec and allowed to patrol the streets. Th< local papers have contained account: daily of robberies of the night before and the local officers have workec long and hard on the case, but to nc advantage, until the arrest of Huff. Friday night the negro was met b] two local officers, Algood and Mc Clesky, on Pendleton street, in th< west end of Greenville. The negrt was held up by the officers anc searched and on his person wai found two knives, which have beei identified by the owner. The negn was arrested at 2 o'clock in th< morning. A watch was found on tin person of another negro, who sai< that he had received it from Huff The watch has been identified by tin owner. The negro has not confessed, as fai as can be learned, and it was onl: late to-night that the fact leaked ou that the negro had been placed be hind bars. Since the robberies started a montl ago the home of the mayor of th< city, G. H. Mahon, has been robbed $60 being taken, the home of thi chief of police, where some mone: was secured, and the residences o some forty or more others. Ever; night a number of robberies hav< been committed. Steps were unde way to secure the services of a wel known detective to work on the cas< when the timely arrest of the negr< was brought about by the two offi cers. He was arrested simply be cause he was on the street at so lab an hour, but on searching him th< stolen articles were foundOne man, a white fellow namei Collons, is now serving a sentence 01 the gang. It was generally though here that he was one of the party do ing the stealing. Another arrest wai made also, but nothing came of it. The city authorities are confident however, now that they have th< right man, and his case will be sen to the higher court, where he will b< prosecuted to the extent of the law The women of the city have been se verely frightened by the many rob beries, and during the hot weathe: it was necessary that the homes b< closed tightly, which was inconven ient. SENATOR KILLED. Both Men Drew Pistols, and in Due Bayles Was Killed. Montgomery, Ala., July 16.? State Senator Oscar 0. Bayles, wa: last afternoon shot and killed b: David K. Smith, at Monroeville, theii home, as a result of Bayles' effort t< secure a pardon for Isaac and Jess* Shirley, who are serving terms fo: the killing of Jim Smith, a brothe; of the man who did the shooting yes terday. Bayles made sensational re marks to Smith while the hearing be fore the pardon board was on, ant he plainly showed his irritation a the time. A phone message from Monroe ville says that Smith and Bayles re turned to their homes yesterday Smith at noon and Bayles about flv< o'clock. Shortly after, they met 01 the steps of the drug store and aftei a few words, which could not b< heard, Bayles slapped Smith down at the same time drawing his pistol Smith came up with his pistol out and both began shooting. After thre< shots, Bayles ran into a doctor's of fice, and Smith into a drug stor< nearby. An open door gave each j fiicht at. the other, and each took < fourth shot through the aperture. Bayles then fell to the floor, witl two bullet holes in his bowels, ant died within a short time. Smith who was not hit, was sent to jail where extra guard was kept over hin all night. However, the peopb seem to take it that Smith is justi fled. Smith is a brother of Jame Smith, for the killing of whom Jessi and Isaac Shirley are serving term in the penitentiary. The Shirley were convicted on the testimony o thOir sister, wife of the man the; killed. Recent efforts to secure par don for the Shirleys have beei blocked by Smith and his sister-in law, and because of sensational ques tioning by Bayles, who was attorne; for the Shirleys, Smith grew ver; angry and Mrs. Smith was put t< great embarrassment. This account for the ill-feeling. WAVE OF PROSPERITY. The Tariff Alone is Acting as a Block Says Mr. Hill. Washington, July 16.?"As sooi as the tariff is out of the way," sai( James J. Hill, the railroad magnate who yesterday was one of the presi dent's callers, this country will en joy a prosperity which will at leas equal, if it does not surpass, that ii knew under the McKinley adminis tration. "Last month I traveled extensivelj through the West, and I never sav such activity among the farmers Everywhere I made inquiry anc learned and saw that the crops wer? abundant and the farmers were satisfied. Signs of the financial depression of 1907 are fast fading. "Freight cars will be at a premium within a few weeks.
