It is really astonishing to note the number of papers in this State that "fell for" that free advertising of the new ship of a certain steamship line. The people of South Carolina should remember that poverty, not prosperity, follows in the wake of lawlessness. Crime never brought nrnenaritr Qnd nrflirTPSK a T1 TieVeT 9 JVOpC'libJ UU\4 will. And now our good old friend, exgovernor M. F. Ansel, is trying to get in the way of political, lightning again. He wants to be Federal Judge to succeed Judge Goff, who has been elected United States Senator. Fact is, if the air is charged with anything like an office, you can depend on the old fellow getting in the way if he can. However, we wish him well. Is human life to be held so lightly in South Carolina that a lynching will cause little comment and no effort made to find the murderers? It seems so. A negro was shot to death by a mob in Clarendon county a few nights ago and nothing has been done about it. Yet he was put to death for a trivial charge. The report of the lynching says he was charged with assault and battery. The administration of law in South Carolina to-day is a shame and disgrace on the peace officers, and yet the best people seem not to be concerned \ about it. His Wife Spanked Him. "Rppancp his wife snanked him with a board in which there was a large nail, J. A. Brown, of Atlanta, Ga., has asked the superior court to grant j him' a divorce. The above is given in his petition as a specific instance of cruelty on the part of Mrs. Lizzie Brown, who, her husband says, owns a 27-acre farm in DeKalb county. Brown recites that the nail pro-' truded through the board, and when he was struck by the board the nail penetrated the flesh to the bone of his thigh. He adds that if he had ? not held bis wife until he could get a chance to get away he believes he would have been seriously injured. * The couple were married in Feb ruary, 190S, and lived together until August 25, 1911, when the alleged spanking took place. The husband says he was deserted by his wife. He also claims that she made married life impossible by a violent temper, and that she would fly into a frenzy without cause, and would curse and abuse him. YOUNG GIBSON ACQUITTED. Miss Clarke's Testimony Before Renatvlor llwnlvp? irrnsed. Atlanta, Feb. 24.?Cole Blease Gibson, of Orangeburg, S. C., and Robert S. Coleman, of Savannah, the two young medical students who were charged with persuading 15year-old Mary Clarke to leave her mother's home in Atlanta, were acquitted in police court this afternoon. The court room was packed and jammed with students of all the local medical colleges and the noise they made was so great that the recorder and police were called upon to restore order. Miss Clarke testified that she was not persuaded to leave her mother, but that she already intended to do so and that all they did was to aid her with her baggage. Gibson, it is declared, is in love with Miss Clarke. He stated, when arrested, it is said, that he intended to marry her. NEW STATE GAME WARDEN. Col. A. A. Richardson, of Barnwell, Appointed by Governor. Columbia, Feb. 24.?Upon th* recommendation of Mayor Gibbes as president of the Audubon Society Gov. Blease has appointed Col. Al fred Aldrich Richardson, of Barn well,- as chief game warden. Sectior 747, Volume 2, of the Code, provides that the Audubon Society of the Stat( , shall send in the name of a suitabk person to the governor to be chie: game warden and the governor must transmit this name, with his recom mendation, to the State senate. Th< governor will send this appointment to the senate to-morrow night. Gov. Blease is very much opposec to this position and will so stat< in his message to the senate. How ever, the law provides that he shal transmit the name, and in view o the fact that the legislature has jus ordered the claim of James Henr? Rice for his salary last year as gam< warden paid, which claim the gov ernor fought so vigorously, the gov ernor has decided to put the matte: up to the senate. He hopes that th< senate will refuse to pay the Ric< claim and refuse to have a game warden, as the governor consider: this a useless office. Charges Favoritism. Washington, Feb. 24.-?Charges o favoritism of the postoffice depart ment toward B. F. Cummins, con tractor and a brother of Senatoi Cummins, of Iowa, in that C. P Grandfield "entered into an out rageous arrangements with Cummin! and that the department cancelling machine committee was guilty o: gross neglect," were made to th( postoffice to-day in a report of th( committee on expenditures in th< postoffice department. The commit tee majority reported that B. F Cummins exerted an influence 01 both Grandfield and E. T. Bushnell chief clerk to Grandfield, w-hich was "highly prejudicial to the govern ment's interest;" that Grandfielc and Bushnell delfberately and syste amtically favored the Time Marking Machine company and the B. F. Cum mins company represented by Cum mins and that-there was an under standing between Cummins anc the department officials in the adver tisements of four year contracts foi the cancelling machines, that if hi< lump sum bid was the lowest, h( would receive an exclusive contract. The report also charged that th( cancelling machine committee wai dominated by Dr. Grandfield so as t( render its findings partial. Avenges Sister. Elizabeth City, N. C., Feb. 24.? Declaring that J. Fenton Towe, < prominent young business man o: Chapanoke, had ruined his sister burden Stokely shot him thropgl the brain this .morning and coollj awaited the officers on the scene o! the shooting, Armstrong's stables this city. Young Stokely is a son of Rufus Stokely, a prominent farmer of th< Chapanoke section, and is said t( have come with his father early this morning on a search for his 17-yearold sister, who had left home witt Towe Saturday night. The searcl ended at the home of a relative where the girl had given birth to i child. Soon thereafter young Stokely saw Towe on the street in an automobile and informed him that th( elder Stokely wanted to see him ai the stables. Arriving there Towe was asked tc marry the girl whom he is alleged tc have ruined, and is said to have refused. Thereupon Murden Stokelj drew his pistol and shot*him througi m the brain. Towe, fell, mortally wounded, anc was carried to the Arlington Hotel; but died before relatives from Chapanoke could reach him. His slayei awaited the officers, maintaining tha1 he felt justified in avenging the wrongs of his family. Both families are well known anc prominent in their community. The tragedy has shocked the entire town Family Sentences Him. Charles Weiss, who last wee! pleaded guilty to having three wives faced Judge Mulqueen, of New York to-day for sentence. Turning to hi: numerous family, which was present the judge said: "What shall I do to this man?" "He is a menace to womankind I Send him to prison for life," dec-larec wife No. 1.

AN( , Smith, Byrnes and Ellerbe Lodge And Protest with Taft. 5 Washington, Feb. 24.?Senator E. ' Tt 3 D. Smith and Congressmen Byrnes folio , and Ellerbe called at the White that - House this morning, protesting Fi - against the resolutions of the cus- pints i toms service, which proposes tt> make pints 3 Beaufort and Georgetown subports beer, i of the port of Charleston. While Mr. Fi i Byrnes would not state exactly what Tins f the president had to say on the sub- of w t ject, yet he was somewhat encourag- Fi - ed that no change would be made by barn 5 Mr. Taft. .Fi T J T-? J3 ' t Majority jut:a.uei uuuci?uu? uc- ci. < clared on the floor of the house a few key. 1 days ago that the president would ap- Fi j prove and promulgate the plan be- son i - fore going out of office, and Attorney land 1 General Wickersham is understood to pints f have rendered an opinion that the beer t laiw requires Mr. Taft to do this. The F] president can make any changes he barr 5 chooses in the resolution proposed by appL - the treasury department, provided Milv - only a saving of $350,000 a year is Se r effected by changes, and some per- liquc 3 sons who are close to the administra^ tion believe that Mr. Taft will coni solidate new ports enough with oth- A 3 ers to meet the reduced appropriation Fla., of the next fiscal year and leave the E< status quo of the rest undisturbed. the of t' Tighe, Murderer, Bought Freedom. kave ? - - comi A New York telegram says: Martin J. Tighe, the wife-slayer, baby r who was liberated from Sing Sing beril . prison shortly after he offered John ne&r - L. Hinkley and Alderman Thomas Johl] 5 D'Arcey, of Poughkeepsie, $25,000 ^Iasi I to obtain his release, is living at No. f 18 Perrin street, Binghamton, N. Y. ney? j It was learned yesterday that within Paln j a few months of the time he left his *be J ? cell he married the widow of Charles S1?n' - F. Petry, a wealthy saloonkeeper. quisAs told yesterday Tighe refused to forei i pay the $25,000 and was sued by Mr&, D'Arcey. It was this suit that caused the s Gov. Dix to investigate and trap the nam' - sellers of pardons last spring as they as sI were preparing to obtain the release bow< - of other prisoners. y r Charles F. Petry died in 1908, ish ( - leaving his widow property valued - at about $500,000. This largely Vins - comprised real estate and included M 1 the buildings at the northwest corner conc - of Broadway and One Hundred and r Twenty-second street. In one of the UP b 3 buildings the Tighes went to live and w j remained there until some months boy ago when they removed to Bingham- be is * ton, where Tighe invested in a chick- ed c s en farm. . cbilc ) Former Police Captain William feet Walsh, who has a saloon at No.-601 d?n' West One Hundred and Twenty-sec- tren< ond street, rented from Mrs. Tighe, - and wrho is well acquainted with com] i Tighe, said yesterday the ex-convict &urs f is supposed to be suffering from dia- Prec' , betes and general debility. bim i "We never could figure out how his * Tighe obtained his pardon," said the brou E former captain.^ "I guess, the story with , yesterday explains it/ However, it boy, doesn't make much difference be- my ^ 5 cause his condition was such when Ja 5 he was here last that we wondered bis e ) how he was able to get about. whei 5 "The ex-convict looks all of fifty hne - j years old and it is hard to believe he roon i is in the early thirties. He is try- spec; i ing to regain his health running a the 1 , chicken farm, but I understand he fami i will never be well again. My un- the < - derstanding is that Tighe has no ing - money." Di i Mrs. Petry was well known in the both t vicinity in which she lived and her playi friends expressed great surprise when froni ) she announced her intention to marry mad< > Tighe. That she should choose an ex- and - convict for a mate shocked her ac- they r quaintances.
