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.

Shoots Pin Into Her Eye.
Asbury Park, N. J., July 17.?
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.

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<?"?

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

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.

Leg Broken in Baseball Game.
Allendale, July 17.?The "Fats

End park yesterday afternoon. An accident
occurred, however, which !
brought the game to an abrupt close.

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

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.

GREEWILLE THIEF ARRRESTE1
Xegro in Jail Accused of Over Forti
Robberies.
Greenville. 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

"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. We of the railroad
would judge the prosperity ol
the nation as much by the number ol
