IS SHOT WHILE AT WORK Robbery Was Evidently the Motive for Funl Deed—Xo Clue to urderer. Spartanburg. Dec. 27.— What ap pears to be one of the foulest mur ders ever committed in Spartanburg county, with robbery as a motive fqr the crime, was brought to light this morning when the dead body of Eras- tus D. Smoak, aged 74 years, a deaf mute who lived alone at his home about one mile east of Cedar Springs institute, was found in a crouching position on the floor of his work shop, a room that adjoins his dwell ing, having been shot in the small of the back at close range with a shot gun which was loaded with bird shot. A broken shutter In one end of the workshop and footprints under the window proves almost conclusively that the shot was fired from the out- •.ide of the window while Mr Smoak, who is a cabinetmaker, was at work on a piece of furniture in his shop when he received the fatal load. The murderer then climbed through the window and proceeded to rifle the nockets of the dead man. His right hand pocket in his truosers was found turned wrong side out and a small leather purse in which he is known to have carried small change was missing. An examrnation of his trunk was made end me top was found pried open and the contents ransacked, but whetnor any money was taken cannot be stated as it is not known whether or not he had any money In his trunk. His coat was buttoned tightly and In his inside pocket three $20 bills were found, while in kis vest pocket was found a ladies’ gold watch, both the money and watch being evidently overlooked by the murderer and rob ber In his haste to get away. It is believed that the crime was committed during the n:ght while Mr. Smoak was at work in his shop, for his body was found near the head of the work bench anc between the thumb and index finger of his right hand was a lead pencil about two inches long. A carpenter’s square, a piece of plank, were on the work table, indicating he was in the act of ruling off the board whep he r eceived his death wound. A small lamp, the oil of which had been burned out, was also on the table. The tracks under me window hrough which the shot is supposed to have been fired led from the wht- iow to a patch of woods. At the coroner’s inquest a large number of witnesses were examined though no evidence was adduced to point to the guilt of any one. Some >f the witnesses testified that the last they saw Mr. Smoak alive was last Sunday, while outers stated they saw him late Sunday afternoon. The jury returned a veroict that the de ceased came to his death from gun shot wounds inflicted by a party or parties unknown to the jury. The de- eased is survived by one daughter and four sons, ail of whom reside in distant States except Herbert Smoak. who lives in Union.—The State. IDEAL (XlUXTY FAIR.

Supt. Swearingen Rercmmends One Day as Holiday. Columbia, Dec. 28.—Special: Call ing attention to National Education Day and Boys’ Day at the Fifth Na- ional Corn Exposition here next Jan uary, Mr. J. E. Swearingen, State Su- erintendent of Education haa ad- tressed a letter tp all county super intendents of education and county *ural school supervisors, recommend ing a holiday in the county schools o allow teachers, puplla and trus tees to attend the Exposition on these two days. National Education Day has bees fixed for Friday, January 31. the day following being Boys' Day, tha latter markng the close of the Expo sition School for Prize Winners which will be attended by a thousand boys from all parts of the South. Prominent educators wilt deliver ad- \ dresses on National Education Day ' on subjects pertinent to school 1m- orovement problems, and’a series of ixhiblts demonstrating methods and mmlts of Improvement In the rural schools is being prepared under tha direction of President D. B. Johnson aod other members of Wlnthrop tae? ✓ ulty. Dr. 8. C. Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina, is In active charge of the program of arrangements for National Educa tion Day. Superintendent Swearingen opens his letter with the statement that ‘‘The Fifth National Corn Expoaitloa to be held in Columbia the last week In January and the first week in Feb ruary, offers a rare educational op portunity not only to the farmers, but also to the teachers, patrons and pupils of South Carolina.” After speaking of the value of Industrial education, and its demonstration In ' the boys’ and girls’ clubs, Mr. Swear ingen says: ’"It is highly desirable that the people of every county, of every school district, anc of every ■■1 1 !■ » uavisivi* 441111 1 VvVJljr Pattern for Ideal County Fair to he conimun, ty should profit by this practical demonstration of the worth. methods and accomplishments of In- ustrial education. The teachers, trus tees, patrons and pupils of every a space 48 by 20 feet, together school in your county should be in* incut in affairs pertaining to agricul tural development. Dean Bailey is greatly interested in this exhibit and giving close attention to the plans which are being formulated by the special committee in charge. The college authorities have de cided to make the feature of the New York State exhibit at the Exposition an ideal country fair, and in pursu ance of this purpose, a conference of various persons interested in coun ty fairs of a more advanced order, has been called at the college. Through this conference and by cor respondence with other fair authori ties throughout the country, the most progressive ideas obtainable will be selected and followed In tne construc tion of this exhibit, watch will be educational in purpose, ttepresenta- tives of the college wiM accompany the exhibit to explain the entire set ting. arrangement, etc., teil the rea sons for each feature or change from the ordinary regime, and to answdr questions as to fairs in general. An exhibit of this character is something quite novel in appearance, is well as of significant intefest and value for every visitor Persons In terested in improving their local fairs will hasten to' give a thorough study and examination to this remarkable xhibif. Dean Hailey has some interesting ideas of his own about the signifi cance of the country fair. Recently •« outlined a number of changes he would make In the fair as ordinarily conducted, and. continuing, he said: “In other words. I, should like to see n this single experiment, a complete transfer from the commercial and mrusemenf phase to the education al and recreation phase. I shoald like to see the county fair made the real meeting place for fhe country Mk. I should make a special effort vited to take part in the exercises of Educational Day." Concluding, Mr. Swearingen says: “The program for these two days wil furnish you a message to take home. I recommend that every ~ aiutuc;. 1 iwi'u in menu under the directtonshlp cf Deat^ school In your county he given a holl- .’• H who has long been prom-' day Friday, January 31, I ns'ti t i vi o FT 4 : a • • ..... * ' — on condition that the teacher and trustee* bring at least six pupils to tin expoaitloa on Educational Day and Boys’ Day.” Ehrhardt Personal News.
