BELIEVES GUARD IS IKK)MEI>.
Governor Declares tiie Military System
Will Have to be Cluinged.

Washington. Dec. 1 6.?Governor |
Richard I. Manning took a prominent
part in the deliberation of the Gov-j
ernors' Conference which closed here
today. Yesterday ho had something
to say about law enforcement. In
the discussion this morning with regard
to the National Guard, the
South Carolina executive was heard
with special interest when he said:
"I feel that the National Guard is!
doomed. The system will have to be'
changed. The First Regiment of
South Carolina troops have returned.
It is evident to all who have seen
them that their experience has been
of value to them as men and as sol
diers. Their physical condition is
fine and their military bearing and
training are admirable. When the
men enlisted, however, they thought
that it would be for active service,
and they were eager for it. but to
have been called away for six
months from their vocations and
professions for inactive service at a
heavy sacrifice will deter many from
being willing to join the guard hereafter."
Other State executives spoke in the
same way. Governor Manning was
made a member of the executive committee
of three governors for the ensuing
year.
During the day the governor had a
conference with Secretary of War
Baker on military matters and would
say no more than that "the interviewwas
encouraging." Governor Manning
would not deny that he had
urged the return of the Second |
South Carolina Regiment from tne
border. There is an impression here
? . among the newspaper men that
there are more troops now on the
border than are needed and that a
good many will be released very
soon. It is assumed that the Second
South Carolina will be among them.

OFFICERS XAB JOHNSON.
Negro Wanted in Connection With
Harrelson Murder.
Dillon, Dec. 16.?State Constable
M. L. Rowell, Rural Policeman Sam
O. Cole, and a Mr. Dennis, of Florence,
arrived in Dillon tonight about 8
o'clock with John Johnson, the negro
wanted in connection with the
murder of Rev. Hugh Harrelson, of
this county. The officers were going
be^ow Florence to make a raid when
Mr. Dennis of the party recognized
Johnson as the man wanted in Dillon.
They captured him and rushed
toward Florence with the fugitive,
but on nearing Florence they decided
to come on to Dillon as Johnson
seemed unconcerned about his arrest.
As they neared Dillon Officer
Rowell stated that Johnson asked
him if the woman was dead. Johnson
was connected with the murder
. of the Rev. Hugh Harrelson, according
to a statement by Mrs. Harrel
" A * r- a U ^
-son, who deciarea at tne time 01 me
crime that he was the negro that
beat her.
Tracks around the commissary
where the murder was committed, it
is stated, were recognized as those
of Johnson. Johnson had had some
trouble, it is asserted, with the Rev.
Hugh Harrelson a few days before
the crime for which he had been reported
to the rural policeman.
Johnson has been lodged in jail
and has been identified as the man
wanted. Johnson was well known in
Florence as "Bully Howard.'
He has served several chaingang
sentences in that county. A reward
has been offered for Johnson's capture
by local men and by Governor
Manning.
NATURAL INHERITANCE.
The Musical Birthright of the Children.
In the most remote villages in
this country, in purely industrial
communities, among the poor and
among the rich (troth having fprgot-t.
\ -LIU , A
ienj, cmmreii iuv? guuu suugs,
writes Thomas W. Surette, in The
Atlantic. It is their natural inheritance.
Xo excess of materialism in
the generations affects it in the least.
This is the primitive endowment;
deep down in human character there
lies a harmony of adjustment with
nature. Overlay it as you may with
custom, or habit, sully it with luxury,
it still persists, for without it
human life, which is never destroyed,
appears fresh and unstained in children
and in song it bubbles up as
from a Dure spring.
An Automobile Tax.
Would it not be a good idea for
the legislature at the next session to
provide for an annual license tax on
automobiles, the money thus raised
to be devoted to road purposes. It is
a well-known fact that automobiles
are harder on the roads than any
other kind of vehicles; and all the
States in the union except South Carolina,
we believe, provide for an annual
automobile tax on that account.

CHESTER WOMAN KILLED.
Mrs. W. A. Wilkinson Murdered in
Mysterious Way.
Chester. Dec. 16.?.Mrs. Maggie j
Wilkinson, wife of W. A. Wilkinson, j
manager of the Chester waterworks j
station, was found dead in a pool of i
blood at her home at the station this
afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. Investigation
of the body shows that she
was murdered by being struck in the
back of the head with some blunt instrument.
Mrs. Wilkinson was one I
of the county's most highly esteemed j
women. She was about 50 years of J
age.
Her husband left the station, which j
i3 located on Pinckney street on the i
banks of Sandy river about three i
miles from Chester, this morning. J
He returned at 5:30 o'clock and
found his wife murdered, lying head
downward on the dining room floor. |
She was cold, indicating that the
tragedy had been committed sometime
prior to that hour.
The murder is a complete mystery.
Mrs. Wilkinson did not have an enemy.
She was big hearted, kind and
charitable to all. There was some
money in the house which has nv/.
been found at 11 o'clock tonight and
it is thought that she may have been
murdered and then robbed.
Sheriff D. E. Colvin with several
deputies and many friends are working
on the case. The blood hounds
from the State penitentiary will be
brought here tonight.
She was a devoted member of the
Presbyterian church. She is survived
by her husband and one daughter.

STATE BAPTISTS ADJOURN.
Convention Will Meet Next Year in
Columbia.
Newberry, Dec. 14.?The State
Baptist convention held its closing
session today adjourning at 1 o'clock,
to meet next year in Columbia. It
was decided to place the entertainment,
of the convention on a pay
basis. The churches were requested
to provide for the additional expense.
Dr. E. V. Baldy, of Hartsville. is to
preach the sermon with Dr. G. W.
Quick, of Greenville, as alternate.
The convention passed a resolution
in opposition to combining the home
and foreign mission boards of the
Southern Baptist convention as was
proposed at Asheville last May. The
convention was addressed by Dr. J.
V. Love, of Richmond, Va. Dr. W. T.
Deereux, of Columbia, addressed the
convention relative to the State mission
work. After announcement of
standing committees to report next
year the convention adjourned to
meet in Columbia.
Governor Urges Return.
Columbia, Dec. 18.?"I am doing
everything possible to insure early
return of troops from the border,"
said Gov. Manning yesterday in a
telegram to his secretary, O. K. LaRoque,
in response to the telegram
sent to him Saturday morning advising
him of the petition from the
Charleston mothers. The telegram
was sent by the governor from Philadelphia,
where he was spending the
day with relatives before going to
New York, where he expects to spend
Monday and Tuesday on personal
business. The telegram from Governor
Manning indicates a hope on the
part of the chief executive that he
will be successful in securing the return
of the four units of the South
Carolina National Guard now on the
border.
The governor's telegram is as follows:
"Telegram referring to petition
received. Please inform petitioners
that I am doing everything
troops from border. I believe they
possible to insure early return of
will come soon, but have little or no
hope of their return before Christmas.
This would be hardly possible."
Gov. Manning has for some time
been in touch with the war department,
looking to the early return of
the South Carolina troops and it is
the belief that the Carolinians will

demoblization and muster out. There
is no desire on the part of the governor
to have these men returned if
there is any possibility of their services
being needed to defend the nation's
"honor but since the danger of
a fight seems to have passed and the
men apparently held in camp for
training, Gov. Manning feels that the
need for their services at home in
their usual occupations is such that
he is justified in asking for their
early return. The governor is seeking
to have the four units returned
together when the orders are issued.
This matter is left largely to the discretion
of Gen. Funston, commanding
general of the Southern department
at Fort Sam Houston. Texas. A
large number of Christmas boxes
have been prepared by the folk at
home and forwarded to the South
Carolinians at El Paso.
The principal activity of many
public officials consists of passing the
buck to the other fellow.
