~J??~ ' ???
Spartanburg, May 6.?A kind of
boycott new to the South has been
discovered here. Negroes are refusing

was tried, convicted and sentenced
to hang for attacking a white woman.
To-day six negro men were bound
over to the criminal court on a charge

Coroner's Jury Reports on Fatal
Wreck.
Easton, Pa., May 4.?"By the evi-,
dence before us we conclude that the
accident was caused by a defective
roadbed," was the finding of the coroner's
jury in Phillipsburg, N. J., following
the inquest of the victims of
the wreck of the Pennsylvania at
Martins creek last Saturday. This
fin/linor nroc modo in nnnTioofi'rtn TcftVl
juuuiu^ n uo xu vvuuvvvxvu ttivu
the death of Eleanor Rutherford, the
Utica school teacher, who died from
her injuries in the Easton hospital.
Prosecutor Striker, who assisted
Coroner Kinney in his investigation,
said he would have liked to have a
more explicit verdict.
"The case is now up to the grand
jury for further investigation if they
care to take it," he said. "No one
being charged with neglect, there is
no one against whom a charge can
be made. There was no evidence to
show any person charged with the
care of the roadbed had any knowledge
of a defect, if any there was."
Testimony tending to show that
ballast had been taken out of the
roadbed in order to straighten the
tracks, which were from 6 to 12
inches out of line, and that no one
had warned the engineer of the
special that there was danger ahead
was given by Jacob Huff, one of the
section men, at the coroner's inquest.
Leonard Miller, another section
hand, admitted that with a couple of
buckets of water the fire which followed
the derailment could have been
extinguished immediately after the
wreck.

OFFICER CLUBBED LADY.
Prominent Atlanta Woman Injured
in Police Patrol.
Atlanta, May 5.?Mrs. Flora Pittman,
241 Whitehall street, is severely
bruised about the body and cut on
the face and Police Officer Braselton
is minus a considerable portion of.
his cuticle as the result of a roughand-tumble
fight which occurred between
the two in the police patrol
wagon when Mrs. Pittman, arrested
with friends, for speeding in an automobile,
refused to go to the police
station. I
- It is said that the officer picked her
up bodily and threw her into the patrol
wagon and that then the investigation
to see whether or not Braselton
was justified in handling Mrs.
Pittman &s roughly as he did. Braselton
is also said to have used his
club severely and without good
cause upon the head of J. T. Tuggle,
another member of the party.
Mrs. Pittman, who is sufficiently
rnnrwraraA fhla mnrniner tn make a
statement, declares that she was
clubbed unmercifully and cursed by
the officer. She is a woman of eminent
respectability, and her friends
are going to insist on a full-investigation
of the whole affair.
Disinterested eye-witnesses have
been found who declare that the po*
lice handled the woman in the roughest
possible manner. Finally, after
pushing her in the patrol head first,
it is said, they took hold of her feet
which were hanging out of the back
of the patrol, and turned her completely
over on her head. Her clothing
was torn almost from her body.
Her face and hands were bloody, and
her features swollen. Mrs. Pittman j
says she made no attempt to fight
the officer until Braselton had struck |
and begun to abuse1 her.
Saves Doctor's Bills.
If all understood the value of the
tomato, and the comparative ease
with which it may be grown, no
garden would be without, and every
family would eat them three times a i
day from early June till frost. Their
acid-and mineral salts are very valuable,
especially in warm climates.
A cool, crisp, fresh tomato eaten for
breakfast all through the summer is
both an appetizer and a corrective
that helps to keep the system in order,
thereby maintaining health, saving
suffering and doctor's bills.

TRIAL PUT OFF.
Two Men Accused of Dynamiting
Times Building.
i Los Angeles, Cal., May 5.?John J.
, McNamara, secretary of the International
Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers' Association, to-day was formally
arraigned before Judge Walter
Bordwell of the superior court on
charges of murder and dynamiting,
and his brother, James B. McNamara,
' i
was arraigned on a charge of murder,
in connection with the explosion
which wrecked the Los Angeles
Times on October 1, 1910, and killed
21 men. Ortie E. McManigal was not
arraigned. It is not expected that
he will make any appearance in court
until the trial begins. The day for
the McNamara brothers to plead was
fixed for June 1.
The McNamara brothers, with
hands manacled, were brought into
court by Sheriff Hammel and three
deputies.
Assistant District Attorney Ford
read all the 19 indictments charging
the men with the murder of employes
of The Times plant. Accused with
the brothers in the indictments were
William Caplan, alleged to have been
an abettor of James B. McNamara ip
the explosion, and four others, one a
woman, who were masked by the
names of "John Doe," "Richard
Roe," "John Stiles" and "Jane Doe."
The accusation was followed by a
list of the scores of witnesses examined
by the grand jurors in the
weeks since The Times disaster, and
with the. late addition of Ortie E. McManigal,
who appeared before the inquisitorial
body only yesterday.
"Considering the importance of the
case and the distance which it may
| be necessary to bring witnesses," At!
torney Rappaport for the defense
said, "I would like to have 30 days)
before the pleas are entered."
"If you are allowed an unusual

1 cutor Fredericks, " will you waive the
provision of the statute which declares
that the men must be tried |
within 60 days after they are arraigned?"
Rappaport signified his willingness
'and the district attorney said he
would consent that the pleas be made
on June 1. The other indictments
were then read.
James B. McNamara was permitted
to sit down, and then an indictment
was read charging John J. McNamara,

)RK1NQ FOR
NEGROES ARE MOVING.
Over Fifteen Hundred Left Beaufort
in Ten Years.
The Columbia St?.te says in 10
years 1,597 negroes, one-half the ne:
trrrt nrmnlntinn left the town of
? 7
Beaufort. Where are they? The
population of the coast counties of
South Carolina has not increased.
While Charleston city has gained
3,000 people, the county's population
has remained practically stationary
and it is said that the colored population
of the city has not increased.
Certainly there are no evidences that
the negroes have increased in the interior
of the State, signs pointing directly
contrary. In a word, examination
of the census figures so far published
tend to the conclusion that the
publication of the census race figures
will reveal that South Carolina is
losing a considerable part of its negro
population and that the ratio of negroes
to whites in the State has
grown perceptibly smaller. That the
negroes are "thinning out" in what
has been regarded the "black district"
is of particular interest and
significance.
Insult to Naval Uniform.
New Orleans, May 5.?An alleged
insult to the uniform of the United
States navy was officially called to
the attention of Mayor Behrman today
by Capt. J. H. Helm, commander
of the New Orleans naval station. The
action of Capft. Helm resulted from
the refusal of the managers of the

Mayor Behrman expressed regret
at the occurrence, hut said he knew
of no law by which he could control
the operation of a private dance hall. 1
"It is an honor to wear the uniform '
j of the United States army or navy," i
said the mayor, "especially when the i
wearer demeans himself properly."

Visit to This State.
Washington, May 5.?Congressmen'
Sparkman, of Florida,, chairman of I
the committee on rivers and harbor* I
of the house, has agreed to visit J
South Carolina during the month of 9
June with a view of getting acquaint- J
ed personally with the river and harbor
system of the State. ;
He was a member of the commit- fl
tee for a number of years before bo- fl
ing made chairman, and has in * !>fl
general way a good idea of the needs fl
of South Carolina rivers and harbors, fl
but it is desired that Mr. Sparkman fl
come in closer contact with the peo- vB
pie of the State, and at the same ;'M
time get a more intimate knowledge
of its needs with respect to waterways.
To this end, Representative . ^
Ellerbe, a member of the rivers and - M
harbors committee, has arranged . fl
with Mr. Sparkman to have him visit ?ffl
the State. fl
Mr. Sparkman will first visit Ma- ^fl
rion, the home of Mr. Ellerbe, and -'^B
from there it is the intention of Mr. ! fl
Ellerbe to have him look over the fl
projects in his district. When he has fl
completed his inspection in Mr. EI- fl
lerbe's district, it is proposed to hav?
him visit Orangeburg and Columbia I
in Mr. Lever's district to look over
the Edisto and Congaree rivers, -fl
it is likely, if time will permit, thai *
Mr. Sparkman will make inspection
of other projects in the State.
