Killed near tne neart.oi Auauui weu- ^
nesday afternoon by two boys who j
p*" found him in a vacant lot at the cor-; ^
ner of Spring and James streets, in! f(
? the center of the west side business J ^
district. : ^
Real rattlesnakes are supposed to j
be almost extinct in Georgia, save in j t]
the mountains of the Blue Ridge or
the swamps of the Okefinokee or the u
jag asylums of big cities. To find B
one so close to home is unprece- ^
. dented. ^ sj
v Three colored bovs were flying a n
i 4
kite on the vacant lot when they
heard a buzzing noise. They looked c,
around and saw the rattler coiled on u
a rock that will soon mark the site
i o.
of a big building. :|
f According to Hoyle, the darkies a]
should have turned a pale blue. But w
they didn't. One of them seized a
brick, mashed the rattler's head in I
o
and brought him to The Journal of- ! t
fice. Several printers have taken the i w
pledge since the darky walked in the H
door with his prize package.?At- y<

Effect of Tropics. j
? | ^
.Melbourne, Australia, Feb. 14.? j,*1
Dr. Anton Broinl. director of the;
Australian Institute of Tropical Medi- ! **
cine, who has been studying the pos- j w
tc
sibilities of maintaining tropical Aus- j
tralia as a white man's country, con- j
I V(
lirms the observations made bvi
i t
American scientists in explosion of
the theorv that a white man's blood i
! te
deteriorates or becomes thin in tropi-;
cal climes. The American observations
had been made in comparison
of the blood corpuscles of acclimated ^
East Indians and American soldiers
of long service in the Philippines,
' and these showed that no appreciable
change had taken place. Similar re- a
suits have been obtained by Dr.
Broinl from experiments on school
children in an Australian town.

climates, is really due, not to any in
defect in their blood, but to minute w
changes in the outer skin, accord- s"\
ing to Dr. Anton's belief, and along r<
these lines there is need of further w
research to establish the actual in- h<
fluence of high temperatures on phy- a
sical organisms. / al
Dr. Broinl's first report concludes ]c
as follows: "It is yet too early to w
say definitely whether the great ex- w
periment of populating tropical Aus- a
tralia by a white working popula- fc
lation can be accomplished. This,
however, is certain, Northern Australia,
when compared with other
tropical regions, offers the most n<
favorable conditions for permanent ei
white settlement. The position cer- P<
tainly justifies the application of un- tl
limited effort, as the prize in view is E
the successful holding of a whole ii
continent for the white race." tl

barged with the killing cf Chief o:';
olice J. B. Harter, of Allendale, last j
eptember. pleaded guilty to man- j
laughter in the Court of General Ses- j
>ns here to-day and were sentenced j
y Judge Sease to serve ten years and
ve years, respectively, on the public
orks of Hampton county.
The Court of General Sessions for
lampton county convened here this
lorning. Judge Thos. S. Sease, of
partanburg. Solicitor R. L. Gunter
nd Stenographer E. A. Brown being
1 their respective places and transcting
the business of the court w^th
ispatch. The Judge charged the
rand jury in an able address of
hirty minutes, explaining to them
hat the reason behind the great
umber of homicide cases on the
ockets of the court of South Carona
was not the trouble with the
iw, but lies in the fact that the
eople comprising the great body of
etit jurors were not properly eduated
from a moral standpoint to
onvict men guilty of crime. The
uties 'of the grand jurors were exlained
to them in detail in a charge
matured with sound logic. Comments

rand jury was one of the best ever J
eard from the local bench.
The case of the State against J. F.
/alker and Ben Walker was called
or trial, and the defendants, through
leir attorneys, George Warren, E. F.
barren, C. A. Best and J. E. Harle'y,
nnounced readiness to proceed to
rial and the trial was set for -3
'clock. The Walkers were charged
ith the killing of Chief of Police J.
. Harter, of Allendale, at Lena, in
[ampton county, last September. The i
looting of Mr. Ha>ter attracted
uite a good deal of talk and newsaper
comment. At 3 o'clock the
ourt was called, and the defendants,
pon being arraigned, entered pleas
f guilty of manslaughter, which
leas were accepted by the solicitor
nd approved by the court. Sentences
ere passed as follows: J. F. Walk-,
r was sentenced to the public works
f Hampton county for a period of
m years, and his son, Ben Walker,
as sentenced to the public works of
ampton county for a period of five
sars. An unusual interest was nonnested
in this case, there being on
le court yard and in the court room
great crowd of people, about one
undred of whom were witnesses.
The next case tried was the case of
le State against Ida Jones, charged
ith assault and battery with intent
> kill. The trial occupied most of
le morning hour, and resulted in a
^rdict of guilty of assault and batiry
of a high and aggravated nature,
he prisoner received a sentence of
in months on the public works of
ampton county, or a fine of $200.
There are about ten other criminal
ises of more or less importance to
^ tried during the present week.
SAFETY FIX REMOVED.

Spartanburg, February 13.?Sheperd
John James, the little son of
r. and Mrs. W. L. James, of Greer,
in Dr. Steadly's hospital, recovertg
form a serious operation by
hich a safety pin, which the boy
vallowed Tuesday, February 3, was
mioved from his intestine. The pin
as open when he swallowed it, but
e suffered very little for more than
week. An X-ray examination made
t Greenville showed the pin to have
>dged in his small intestine and he
as brought here for the operation,
hich, though of an exceedingly deli
ite nature, was successfully per>rmed.
Not Proud of Suicide Record.
Vienna, February 14.?The Vienese
are trying to shake off the unaviable
record of having a higher
ercentage of suicides among them
lan the residents of any other
uropean capital. For the first time
1 many years there is a decline in
le number of suicides and cases of
ttempted self-destruction in Vienna,
le record for the past year being
,485 as compared with 1,558 in
912, notwithstanding that the past
ear was a bad one from a commerial
and labor standpoint. It apears
that a large number of women
ho decided upon suicide failed in
leir attempts, while men generally
ndertook their self-destruction with
determination tiiat was successful,
s usual, the black record includes
lanv children, whose motives were
aced to unfavorable school reports.

FRANK MUST DIE.
Atlanta Pencil Factory Superintendent
Xears Gallows.
Atlanta, February 17.?Leo M.
Frank, under sentence of death for
the murder of 14-year-old Mary Phagan
here on April 2G of last year, today
was advanced one step closer
to the gallows when the Georgia supreme
court sustained the verdict of
the lower court which pronounced
him guilty. The opinion, written
by .Justice Atkinson, also was signed
by Justices Hill. Lumpkin and Evans.
A dissenting nninion was rendered by
Chief Justice Fish and Justice Beck.
Although Frank's lawyers to-day
would make no statement as to what
steps they would next take, it was
reported that they have not yet given
up the determined battle which they
have waged for the freedom of the
young factory superintendent. News
that the highest court of the State
had denied him the right to be again
tried failed to shake the iron nerve
of the condemned man. He received
the tidings quietly, refusing to comment
thereon.
While the supreme court's decision
is voluminous, the path of the rulingis
contained in the head note which
says:
"Evidence Supports Verdict."
"The evidence supports the verdict
and there was no abuse of discretion
in refusing a new trial."
In their dissenting opinion. Chief
Justice Fish and Justice Beck held
that the trial court erred in admitting
the evidence of James Conley
and C. B. Balton regarding alleged
acts involving immoral conduct on
Frank's part toward women prior to
the murder of the PM|agan girl.
Unless an extraordinary motion for
a new trial or some other move in
behalf of the convicted man is made,
Frank will be resentenced within the
next two weeks. The decision of the
supreme court first must be entered
as that of the trial court, after which
sentence may again be imposed.
May Live Months Yet.
Frank's fight for freedom may be
prolonged in a number of ways, and
to-night it 'was pointed out that
months may elapse before his fate
finally is decided. According to court
officials here, it is possible that, in
view of the dissenting opinion of two
of the six justices of the supreme
court, Frank's lawyers may move
to reargue the case before that body.
In the event that such a motion was
denied, an attempt then probably
would be made to get the case before
the United States Supreme court on
the grounds that Frank has been deprived
of his liberty without the process
of law. Another course open to
Frank would be to file an extraordinary
motion for a new trial before the
court in which he was convicted.
Should the court deny "this motion,
an appeal could be taken to the State
supreme court. As a last resort, it
was pointed out an appeal could be
made to the governor for an extension
of executive clemency.
BANKER RECEIVES LIBERTY.
M. A. Carlisle Pardoned?Tried in
Greenville.
Charleston, February 1<\?After
having served a little more than half
of the sentence which was imposed
upon him for violation of the national
banking laws, Milton A. Carlisle, former
bank president of Newberry, has
been pardoned by President Woodrow
Wilson, and was yesterday released
from the Newberry county jail, where
he has been confined since July 31.
The order for the release of Carlisle
was sent through United States Marshal
J. Duncan Adams, who yesterday
received official notification that President
Wilson had pardoned the former
Xewberrv banker from Attorney General
McReynolds. Upon receipt of the
message Marshal Adams immediately
wired the jailer at Newberry to release
Carlisle. As soon as news of
Carlisle's release had been received at
the marshal's office Attorney General
McReynolds was notified that his instructions
had been carried out.
The case against the banker, which
was tried in the United States court
in Greenville several years ago, attracted
State-wide attention. Carlisle
as president of a Newberry bank was
convicted for violating the national
banking laws and was sentenced by
T - ^ 1 ~in
JUage H?c jcaio iu tuv
Federal prison in Atlanta. Attorneys
for Carlisle, of whom the Governor
was one, appealed the case, but the
the verdict of the lower court was
sustained. Then a long fight to gain
clemency for the aged banker was instituted.
The matter was brought to
the attention of President Taft, but it
was not until President Wilson had
taken office that the sentence was
commuted to one year and one day.
Instead of being taken to Atlanta to
serve the sentence in the Federal
penitentiary Carlisle was admitted to
the county jail in his home town.
