I Thursday, October 27, 1910.
For the year 1909 the tax rate in
Bamberg for county purposes was
mills, while in Colleton it was
four mills. At the settlement last
year as well as this year, there was a
large surplus in the treasury for
county expenses, while all the school
districts had money to their credit
at the close of their school year. Can
Colleton make a better showing?
Well, we are still waiting to hear
that something is being done about
about that circular letter. The si'lence,
that comes from Aiken since
the primary in regard to it is not
likely to be broken, and it begins to
look very much like that hiring a defsjc?'
tective and pretending to run down
|?v the author before the second primary
0-y was all buncombe pure and simple?
done" simply to catch votes. If good
faith can be shown in this matter, we
are ready to be convinced.
My but those Spartanburg papers
are going some. Now comes the announcement
that The Herald of that
city will install a fine new press when
it moves into its new building. The
Bib Dress to be installed is one of the
I latest style rotary presses built by R.
Hoe & Co., of New York, printing
from stereotype plates instead of type.
. The owners of The Herald evidently
have faith in the future of Spartan
burg and their newspaper, for they (
are putting in a machine sufficient for ,
, a circulation of fifteen thousand.
Bamberg is a better county than ;
Colleton for the reason that our territory
is small and we have a number j
of banks and business enterprises, as ;
well as a good railroad mileage, j
which makes taxes low. "We now ]
have seven banks in the county, a !
cotton mill, two oil mills, and mile- <
age from the Seaboard, Atlantic Coast 1
Line, and Southern Railway. All' j
these enterprises pay taxes and therefore
the tax rate in Bamberg is not i
as high as it would be in a large '
county where there was more work ]
to do on the roads, as well as other 1

$5 FOR EACH WIDOW.
Man, Who Says He is Unmarried,
Provides for Supposititious Heirs.
The will of John B. Luther of this
city, which has been probated in San
Francisco, where he resided during
most of his life and had his legal
domicile, contains bequests to relatives
in the vicinity of Fall River aggregating
$109,800.
The most singular part of the will
is contained in the ninth clause,
which reads:
"I do hereby declare that I am not
married and that I have no children.
I have noticed, however, the facility
with which sworn testimony may be
procured and produced in support of
the claims of alleged widows and
adopted children and the frequent recurrence
of such claims in recent
years.
"I therefore make express provis'

give and bequeath to such person as
shall be found proved and established
to be my surviving wife or widow
whether marriage be found to ,have
taken place before or after the execution
of this will, the sum of $5,
and to each and every person who
shall be found, proved and established
to be my child by birth, adoption,
acknowledgment or otherwise, and
whether before or after the execution
of this will, the sum of $5, and I
declare that I do intentionally omit
to make for any of the persons in this
paragraph referred to any other or
further provision."?Fall River dispatch

Why the Hen Needs a Head.
Little four-year-old Ollie Jean, on
seeing some chickens fly over a
fence, told her uncle he would have
to clip their wings. "Well," her
uncle replied, "I won't only cut their
wings, but their heads too."
"Humph! you won't get any eggs
then," said Ollie Jean.
"Heads don't have anything to. do
with eggs," said her uncle.
, "Yes, they do, too; they have to
cackle," Ollie Jean positively replied.
?The Delineator for November.
/ Slew Three Persons.
Tampa, Fla., Oct. 24.?News has
just been received here of a triple
murder which took place some time
during the storm last Monday at
Chatham Bend, near Fort Myers, in
which two white men and a white
woman were murdered by Leslie Cox,
i white man, and a negro.
The dead are: Miss Ellen Smith,
a man named Waller and one known
as "Dutchy." The latter is said to be
an escaped convict from Key West.
Details of the crime are meagre. Miss
Smith was visiting at the residence
pf Waller, and it is believed she was
killed when she attempted to interfere
in a quarrel between Cox and
Waller. The negro is under arrest,
and claims that he was forced to kill
the man known as "Dutchy." A
posse now is in pursuit of Cox, who
is reputed to be a desperate character.
He was surrounded in a
swamp near the Caxambas clam bars,
but made his escape. The negro has
been carried to Key West for safekeeping.
Mayor Comes Clear.
Spartanburg, Oct. 24.?The case
against J. B. Lee, mayor of this city,
arrested Saturday on the charge of
speeding his automobile, was dis
missed because of insufficient evidence
by J. B. Ramsey, acting mayor,
in police court this morning.
The mayor was arrested on West
Main street, at the instance of A. Perkins,
at noon Saturday. Mr. Perkins
would not swear that Mr. Lee was
violating the speed limit, and as no
other witnesses were produced, the
case fell through. Mr. Lee swore that
his speedometer showed a speed less
than 15 miles.
Child Convicts Father.
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 24.?John J.
Smith, who shot and killed his wife,
Bridget, and their 13-year-old daughter,
Rita, on September 1, last, was
late to-day found guilty of first degree
murder for killing the former, with
electrocution as the penalty. Alcoholic
insanity was the defense. The
principal witness for the State was
the prisoner's 7-year-old child, . William
Henry Smith, the only eye-wit
ness to the tragedy, who toia now
his sister, standing in front to protect
their mother, was shot down while
begging the father not to shoot.
