Thursday, May 16, 1912. Of course Mr. N. B. Dial, of Lau} rens, has the right to run for the United States Senate, but the question is why is he running? Support the ladies of the civic league in their efforts to make Bamberg a clean town. Don't wait until midsummer to clean up. Now is the - . tlmp Every citizen of Bamberg should be interested in its sanitary condition. A clean town is a healthful town. Let us all unite to make Bamberg a clean town. Filth breeds disease. If your premises are unsanitary, you may expect illness in your family. Is not -the lives of your dear ones worth more than the few dollars it will rV take to clean up your premises and keep them clean? r. At this time we do not know what the State convention, which is to meet in Columbia to-day (Wednesday) will do, but if there ever was a time in the history of the State when wise and conservative action was needed, that time is now. This is ||*V i not the time for a display of partisan feeling, and we trust the convention will rise above such things and act with the single purpose of bringing good to the old State and its people. The times demand patriots p> and statesmen, not politicians mereColumbia people are not greedy at all. Their latest proposition is to convert the State house grounds into a Dark, the State to bear a portion of the expense. The idea is one which could originate nov here else except in Columbia we believe. That city now has no park, having sold Sidney ; | I park some years ago to the Seaboard Air Line. Of course the people of p that city deserve a park, but the State of South Carolina should not ; furnish it. If Columbia wants a park, let her people pay for it. The tax payers of the State have no busij| liess furnishing a place of amusement EHf*# for Columbians. There is a movement on foot among the newspaper men of the State which has for its object the formation of an organization for the purpose of regulating foreign advertising. We sincerely trust such an organization will be perfected, for while a few of us get the same rate for foreign as we do for local busi? +L a nAuronQTYAro nf JLltJSS, L<JU LUdilJ' L?1 IUC ULC" 0 \s*. the State accept foreign advertising at a rate entirely too low for the service rendered. We have heretofore discussed this matter with a number of editors, and while all seemed to favor getting together, nothing has ever come of the agitation. We trust that the present effort will be successful, and every newspaper man in the State ought to come into the organization, for it will mean money in his pocket. ? i Hard to Beat.

MERTINS, Augusta, Ga. & * \ JACOB JETER AGAIN IN TOILS. Lexington Man, Pardoned by Blease, Faces Assault and Battery Charge. Lexington, May 13.?Jacob B. Jeter, said to be the fitst man to be pardoned by Gov. Blease when he was inducted into office, is again in the toils of the law, having been lodged behind the bars of the Lexington jail yesterday afternoon, with the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill resting against him. On the 24th of February last, it is alleged that Jeter attempted to shoot Chief of Police P. L. Redmond, of Swansea; W. L. K. Johnson and H. K. Hooker, who went to arrest him for being drunk and disorderly and making an assault upon bis wife, Maggie Jeter. Jeter fired at the chief twice with a rifle, and, having missed his aim, deliberately snapped the firearm at the men several times, but fortunately there were but two bullets in the gun. He still held them at bay, however, and it became necessary for the men to shoot Jeter i in order to effect his arrest. He was shot in both legs, the wounds being so serious that he was carried to Knowlton's Hospital, in Columbia, for treatment. A warrant was immediately sworn out for his arrest and placed in the hands of Sheriff Miller for execution. The sheriff had been on the lookout for his man, and had planned to bring him to the Lexington jail as soon as the doctors would permit. Several days ago, however, it is said ' that Jeter asked to be permitted to take a little exercise on the streets, 1 hoincr nrtvistfvri that his wounds J were not healed sufficiently fo,r him '1 to take the risk, he slipped away J and went to the depot, where he boarded a train for Sally. Upon * reaching Sally he hired a horse and 1 buggy and drove to the home of his brother-in-law, who lives within six 1 miles of Neese's station, in Orange- 1 burg county. . Upon learning that Jeter had es- ] caped from the hospital, Sheriff Mil- ? ler immediately laid plans to effect ( his capture, and on Saturday night s the officer went to Swansea, secured ' an automobile and drove to the home of Jeter's brother-in-law. Having ] been warned of the threats that Je- ( ter is alleged to have made, to the { effect that he would shoot the first * man who attempted to arrest him, ^ the sheriff left the automobile when within a half mile of the house and took to the woods afoot. After tak- , ing a careful view of the situation, ^ Sheriff Miller went direct to the ( house, and was in the room where ^ Jeter was with his wife, and made j the arrest before the man had time . to make good his threat, if, indeed, J he had made the threats. ^ Jeter was brought to jail in an j automobile. His left foot is in a dangerous condition, according to j the statement of Dr. E. P. Derrick, t county physician, who was called in ^ to see him. The wound was caused i by several buckshot and the foot is swollen considerably. ^ This is not the first time Jeter has , been in trouble since he received his i pardon from Gov. Blease. Several ^ months ago he was arrested at the instigation of his mother and sister, ^ who reside at Swansea. It was al- j leged that Jeter had entered the ,, home of his relatives and had taken ' a number of articles of clothing and j other valuables. The articles were found in different places in Columbia by P. H. Corley, who was then sheriff of the county, and returned, i A ^ A *- ? 4- r-V lr AAn V fit L Hilt Li Hit; jeiei, iu uiuci lu ?. from being tried upon the charge, i agreed never to go to the home of J his mother again, an agreement to t this effect having been drawn up by Frank W. Shealy, clerk of the cir- I cuit court, and signed by Jeter. I - A few months later Jeter married * a Miss Redmond, the ceremony being g performed in the court house here 3 by N. P. Shipp, notary public. It is i said that he has since treated his wife 1 badly while under the influence of whiskey, and it was for this oflience * that efforts were being made to ar- ] rest him when he shot at the chief 1 of police at Swansea. Jeter served a term of years in the penitentiary for having killed a man on the streets of Union before < he wras pardoned. When sober he is < said to be a peaceable citizen. ?

Child Dies From Attack of Rattle Snake. , 1 Leesburg, Fla., May 12.?Allery ^ Morrison, nine years of age, died this morning from the effects of an attack made on him yesterday after noon by a rattlesnake. The child had gone into the garden to pick some tomatoes when the reptile struck him, burying its fangs in the boy's instep. He screamed with pain, and when assistance arrived, he was unconscious. He is a grandchild of ( Bishop Morrison of the Methodist church. Wait for O'Riley. ] SUICIDE IX JAIL. a Man From St. Louis or Atlanta Killed 8 Himself. 8 Tampa, Fla., May 12.?R. L. Gray, 2 of either Atlanta or St. Louis, com- 2 mitted suicide in a cell in the local 3 city prison here this morning at 7 S o'clock, by swallowing carbolic acid. 8 Gray arrived in Tampa Friday and g gave his name at the hotel, where he g stopped as Carl Gannon. He rented a 2 typewriter Saturday afternoon and a 3 few hours later sold it for $20 to an 8 automobile dealer, who became sus- 8 picious when the price was mention- 8 ed. Gannon was subsequently ar- J rested and carried to the police sta- 2 tion. At 6 o'clock this morning he S was served with breakfast, and at 7 ? was found on the floor of his cell 8 dead. A cell mate was still asleep 8 when the dead body was iound. g Letters, laundry marks on gar- 2 ments worn by the man and his baggage identify him as R. L. Gray. The ? carbolic acid was bought in Atlanta 6 and clothing marks indicate that he & had also purchased clothing there. g Gray carried cards in his pocket 47 with the name, "Carl Gannon, Flori- S da Land Company, Chemical build- ? ing, St. Louis." ? Cut His Throat With High Collar. ? Atlanta, May 11.?Elmore B. Stan- > ley, a business man from Utica, New vS York, cut his throat seriously with ? his own high-standing collar this g morning when he tripped on a street 2? car track. )? He was wearing one of the stiff 5| pniinrc nnt often see.n anv Dl/i WAAMA K/ AAWV V ~ longer with every-day dress, and its 8 top had been frayed slightly by its g latest experience in the laundry. a Mr. Stanley was running to catch ? i street car when his foot caught in a| the track and he fell heavily for- 8 ward. The collar was jammed up 8 tinder his chin, and the twist that g follower drew the saw-like edge g across his flesh. He got up stream- ? ing with blood and people on the street thought he had attempted sui- 8 lide. It was only after a search for 8 i knife that the police understood 8 aow the accident had happened. g Stanley was taken to a room in a /z learby hotel, where physicians sew- |Sf ad up his wound. He will recover, 8 ind has already announced his inten- 8 :ion of wearing low, turn-down col- 8 iars the rest of his life. g Miss Yoe Out of Prison. 8 Greenwood, May 11.?Miss Belle 8 foe who was sentenced to 30 days in 8 iail by Judge Thomas S. Sease for g jontempt of court, was released at ? L0 o'clock this morning, her time _ laving expired to-day. She left the ? iail with little ceremony, bidding noiody good-bye and drove off with her ^ irother, Mr. Tom Yoe, supposedly to lis home. For the past two weeks Miss Yoe las had nothing whatever to say to ?r ;he jailer or any members of his | th :amily. Contrary to reports she has aj. nade no threats as to her intentions )f returning to her property, which se vas confiscated by order of the court w. md the supposition is that she will . lot cause the officials to take any urther action against her. The ge jrice paid for her land and house, >7,100, is still held to her credit in a ci1 ocal bank. It is thought that Miss p foe will call for it, now that her >roperty has been legally taken from 0? ler by condemnation proceedings. Must Net Chew Gum in Church.
