TAKES HIS LIFE. Desperado, After Wounding Two Of fleers, Kills Himself. Oeala, Fla., Oct. 5.?After fatall: wounding Deputy Sheriff Hudson an< J ex-Sheriff Gordon'at his home in th< suburbs of Ocala, Wiliam Summerlii placed the muzzle of a Wincheste rifle in his mouth and blew his heat off. For three hours Summerlin wa; barricaded in his house, where h< successfuly resisted the efforts of th< police department and sheriffs am sheriff's deputies to arrest him. Fir ing on every person in sight, it wai finally decided by the officers to cal out the Ocala Rifles and surround th< house. Find Desperado Dead. This was done and shortly aftei nightfall the cordon closed in, th< door was broken down and Summer lin's body was found lying on th< floor with half his head blown off. Eearly in tne atternoon ueputj Sheriff Hudson went to Summerlin'* home to serve a warrant for som( minor offense. Summerlin warnec the officer not to come into his yard and when Hudson started in he was shit down. Ex-Sheriff Gordon, hearing the shot, went to the assistant of Hudson. While bending over the prostrate form of the deputy, Gordon was shol down, the bullet inflicting a fata , wound. Seeing the two men lying prostrate, Summerlin left the house and secured the rifle carried by Deputy Hudson. v / ^ Resists Arrest. * Barricading himself, he offeree stubborn resistance to all who attempted his arrest. A large crowd quickly gathered around the house, keeping a safe distance, as Summerlin fired at every one in sight. A guard was thrown arounc the house and several volleys were poured into it. Shortly after nightfall a concerted movement was made tc capture Summerlin. A rush was made for *the door. It was quicklj battered in. Inside the body ol Summerlin was found weltering in z pool of his own blood. He had placec the muzzle of the rifle in his moutl and fired. The two wounded officers were hurried to a local hispital, where ai examination was made and their condition announced as critical. ffiEvv"' Identifies Men on Circus Train. Lexington, Oct. 5.?Felton Gilbert the negro who was brought over fron Columbia last night and who alleges that he was attacked and throwi from the circus train on Saturdaj night, was given an opportunity tc say who his assailants were to-day Several of the men were carried before him in the presence of the sheriff and the special agents of the Southern railway. He at once recognized three of them, stating in positive terms that they were the ones who assaulted him. The negroes accused remained silent. Neither ol them had anything to say as to his guilt or innocence. The negroes whc Gilbert says assaulted him are coal black. Each of the accused gave his name after Gilbert pointed him out but the officers refuse to divulge the names now. Ralph Ingle, of Peru, Ind., Carl Shiftlet, of Atlanta, and John Dennis, of Massachusetts, three of the young white men who were lodged in jail last night, pleaded guilty to the charge of riding a freight train without a ticket in Magistrate Thcs. L. Harman's court this afternoon and v each sentenced to serve 20 days on the county chain gang or to pay a fine of $20 each. These were the young men picked up at Graniteville yesterday, it being thought at the time that they had some connection with the killing ol Paul A. Williams on the circus train on Saturday night last. Later investigations, however, revealed the fact that the three boarded a freight train at Cayce yesterday morning, and that there could possibly be nothing that could connect them with the murder, SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS __ Among Southern States in Production of Rough Granite. ifv,: - Columbia, Oct. 8.?South Carolina leads the South in production ot rough monumental stone and riprap, according to a bulletin just issued by the United States geological survey on the granites of the Southeastern Atlantic States. The chief granite producing States are North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and South Carolina, their annual outJput being valued at $3,500,000. This compares with the production of the New England States in the ratio of 3% to 9. North Carolina leads the South on granite building stone quarried, Maryland produces immense quantities of granite road metal, railway ballast, concrete stone and paving blocks. Virginia quarries the mosl granite railway ballast. Some of the best Southern granite beds remain unexploited. They lie in mountain regions, far from railroads. GIVES BLOOD TO SAVE SISTER. . Wofford Professor Gave np Pint of His Blood. y Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9.?After sufferj ing with pellagra for two years, Mrs. e M. E. Bush, of Milledgeville, Ga., ! may be restored to health as the rer suit of her two brothers giving up j their blood in aid of the transfusion theory, which the attending physici5 ans had decided was the last hope of 5 saving her life. 3 Robert L. Wiggins, professor of 1 English at Wofford College, Spartan. burg, S. C., went on the operating 3 table to-day at the local hospital, 1 where Mrs. Bush is a patient, and 5 gave up a pint of blood in the effort to^save her life. Two days ago another brother, the Rev. Sterling P. Wiggins, pastor of the First Methodist church, at Milledgeville, made a similar sacrifice for Mrs. Bush. Before the first infusion Mrs. Bush's pulse registered 160. Almost immediately following the operation it dropped to 125 and her temperature fell from 103 2-5 to 101. - - x- J 4.V~ ~ i 1 Alter tne operation lu-uay ue ai, tending physicians announced that 5 Mrs. Bush's condition was very en couraging. It was also announced I ? that the recent experiments with blood infusion in Mobile, Ala., had | > resulted in at least half a dozen cures t in pellagra cases. J Two Counties go for Joe Brown. > % i Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 5.?Hoke Smith was to-day elected to serve a second term as governor of Georgia. Incomj plete returns indicate that Governor Joseph M. Brown, who was defeated for the gubernatorial nomination in j the August Democratic primary and whose name was to-day placed before the voters as an independent DemoJ cratic candidate probably received a majority of the votes cast in two of ' the 146 counties of the State. All of the regular Democratic nominees for ctato and count, v offices were elected. ' the vote for the socialist ticket being I f inconsequential. Three constitutional amendments j j were apparently adopted by large ma-' jorities. One of these provides that counties may levy taxes in support of high schools, the others being local in effect. The disaffeotion in the Georgia Democracy manifested in the opposition to the regular nominee for governor, was the most serious party split in many years and resulted in to-day's vote being much larger than that normally polled in a general election. Governor Brown stated that the action of Thomas E. Watson and others in placing his name before the voters as an independent was without his authorization, but he declined to state whether or not he would serve if elected. He announced, however, that he would support the nominees of the party. Tom Watson's home county, McDuffie, went for Smith by a vote of nearly two to one. Kerosene Cure for Hook Worm. New York, Oct. 6.?John D. Rocke^ feller got the surprise of his life ^ A 3 nf O^lDTl- I yesieruay. x uc tuaiimooivu m OVAVU j ' tists to which he gave $1,000,000 (or * the purpose of finding out the best way to eradicate hook worm in the ' south sent a preliminary report to ' him, in which a real live cure for the ' microbe that breeds laziness was nam1 ed. ^ The cure is within reach of all, for it costs but a tew cents a gallon. Incidentally, whether one is a hook ' worm victim or only an humble vicL tim of the trusts seeking light by ' means of oil, he must buy it from the Standard Oil Company just the same. Mr. Rockefeller gave $1,000,000 ' for a hook worm cure on October 26, | 1909. Twelve scientists took the money and organized the Rockefeller 1 commission for the eradication of the hook worm disease. It chased the festive uncinariniasis 1 ?as his worship is known to science ' ?from Mason and Dixon's line right ' into the delta of the Mississippi. Then from New Orleans the scientists sent the word they had found the cure?kerosene. A pood! Joke. Here is a joke that Life would ^ pay $2 for: "A cent anfi a quarter the laurel wreath said to him of., the ' happened to rub together. He of 1 feathers, 'Go away, you horrid red heathen.'

White Mother of Negro Baby Turned Out of Two Hotels. 1 ri Sitting in the squalid room of a cheap lodging house near the Southern railway station last nfght, a young woman leaned over a baby which lay on a bed beside her and said: "The buzzards will be picking us to-morrow, darling." The baby chuckled and gurgled and kicked out its little legs. In a storm of anguish the young woman picked up the mite of humanity and kissed it. Then she calmed down and softly crooned a lullaby. The woman was white; the baby was a negro. A more revolting story than this young woman's or a problem more difficult of solution than her's was probably never presented to the Spartanburg police. It ^as a story of sin and its punishment. The woman did not find a resting place for herself and her baby until she had been turned out of two other places and had faeed the bitterest scorn and humiliaton. She felt it the more keenly because she had i once been respected here. t When she arrived here yesterday E afternoon she went to the Spartan- i Cafe, on Magnolia street, near the r station. She was neatly dresed, of refined appearance and well spoken, i She was given a room but an at- r tendant had a glance at the baby's I face and demanded an explanation, c She said she came from Lynchburg, t Va., and had been sent here by a 1 hospital to find somebody who would adopt the baby. t The management of the cafe was e dissatisfied with her story and called t in Policeman Cudd. The proble^i t was too hard for him and he sum- f moned a physician. t In the meantime, howevre, the wo- a man and her baby had ben ordered i to leave the cafe. The policeman r took her to a nearby hotel. The ba- 1 by's face was covered with a hand- i kerchief and all went well until the c wife of the proprietor of the place i entered the room to see that every- i thing was in good condition. Wo- c man-like, she lifted the handkerchief, c She was about to make some pleasant g remark, but her tongue was stilled i by a look at the child. Without a 1 word she walked out of the room. \ The physician has had consider- 7 able experience with babies and it f did not take him long to come to the t conclusion that the woman was the mother. He taxed her with it, and she broke down and confessed. She told a terrible story. She comes of respectable people, s She lived in Spartanburg several t years ago and was married in this 1 city to a traveling man. They left 1 Spartanburg and later separated. She f does not know where he is. < The woman went to Asheville and t obtained employment in a sanitarium, s It was there she met the negro, I -1-1 r or?Knr?or T IQ6 idmcr ui ue uunu.?o^uauuui^ Herald. < 2 Stolen Silver Recovered. g t Anderson, Oct. 5.?A recovery of a large amount of silverware has been 1 made by Chief of Police W. N. Scott 1 of the local police force. On April 29, 1909, nearly two years ago, the t home of Chas A. Davis, in Atlanta, Ga., was robbed of a lot of silverware. Several days ago the police detectives in Atlanta arrested a negro who con- c fessed to being one of the burglars, i and told where and how he had dis- t posed of the things stolen. Part of l the silverware, he said, was sold to 1 a negro in Anderson immediately s +Viq Vmrcrlsirv nrrnrreri. When T AJLV^I VUV wu* ^ this confession was made Mr. Davis I a day or two ago wrote to Chief Scott here to investigate. Chief Scott t found all the silverware that was c missing, but also found about a dozen t extra pieces, all bearing the same en- t graved initials, those of Mrs. Davis, r The Anderson negro bought the sil- c ver for $10.50 he says, and it is easily a worth $50 or $60. The local negro c packed the silver away in his trunk t when he purchased it nearly two a years ago, and he had never used any of it. He turned it over to Chief t Scott without any resistance, and it t will be sent to Mr. Davis in Atlanta 1 immediately. Falls and Breaks His Neck. a 1; Anderson, Oct. 5.?W. Osee Bur- 1' ris, a well known young farmer, of the county*was instantly killed about 10 o'clock to-day at his home, seven miles from this city, by falling from e a platform at his gin house.
