AS HE SEES US
A Northern Man's Views of the
Chain Gang in
ORANGEBURG COUNTY.
Mr. lteers Engaged In tlio Lumber
1 Justness in Orangeburg County
Writes an Interesting Letter to a
Conneetieut Newspaper. He Thinks
We Have Solved the Problem fur
Healing With Lazy Negroes.
The Hartford, Conn., Courant says
Mr. Geo. A. Beers, formerly of Bristol,
Conn., but now engaged in the
lumber business in Rowesville, S. C.,
writes interesting of what he has
seen in South Carolina with reference
to the manner in which the whites
deal with the idle or vicious negroes.
The chaingang, he thinks, is adapted
to the needs of that section and is
operated without inflicting undue
cruelty or hardship upon the men
sentenced to serve time in its ranks.
After living in the South for two
month in a community where the
whites do not number over 200 and
the blacks are at least 1,100, and after
having had an average of 40 negroes
employed for that time. Mr. Beers
puts forth his ideas in regard to the
negro on the chaingang. The negro
will not work more than he is obliged
to in order to keep body and soul
together and he has no idea of the
future and no care for it. If he has
a reasonable amount of rice and honey
today with a little pork fat to help
it out he is all right and the morrow
may take care of itself.
It goes without saying that in every
community in the South there are a
large number of idle negroes who
will not work under any consideration
and in many cases, most for that
matter, they are young men. The old
time plantation darkey has practically
ceased to exist and there are
grown up in his place a modern negro
who was taught to believe himself
as good, or p little better than
the whites, and it is from these the
vagrant class is drawn that make up
the men who work on the chaingang.
From vagrancy to the commission
of small crimes is but a step and it
seems Mr. Beers says, that the South
has solved a question as to what to
do with a class that will not work
and is a constant menace to the civil
welfare of the communities, in a way
that is right for this section. The
North is considering the question
what to do with the "rounder" and
the idle moderately vicious persons
in order to escape constant conviction
in the courts with the attendant
expenses.
The judge of every local court in
South Carolina corresponding to Connecticut
police and justice courts imposes
an alternative sentence for the
crimes that come under her jurisdiction.
He give $10 or 20 days on the
chaingang, or a proportionate penalty
for the offences that come before
him. When a negro goes to jail he
is kept there only long enough to fit
him out with a striped suit and then
he is turned over to the county commissioners,
who place him on a chaingang
and he is sent with his gang to
some piece of country road and put
to work.
Practically all the roads in South
Carolina are country roads and, until
recently, were not much better than
cartpaths, but during the last few
years many of the roads leading from
one large town to another have been
put in fine shape. It is no great job
to work roads in South Carolina as
the land is practically level and all
that is necessary is to run the .road
machine along the highway and
scrape the sand into the middle of
the road and then, with the men on
chaingang, open the ditches down to
clay and cover the sand with a coating
of clay, which hardens and makes
a good road surface. The gang operating
in one part of the State put
into good shape in four days nearly
a mile of road. There were 15 of the
men chained together, four trusties
wearing the stripes, but no chains,
and four white men who acted as
roadmakers and guards.
The county of Orangeburg owns
the equipment, which consists of one
big wall tent, 16 by 20 feet, a smaller
tent for cooking, two old stoves,
bunks for the men, eight mules, the i
necessary wagons for transportating
baggage from place to place and a
road machine. Altogether the invesmtent
on the part of the county
may be $2,000.
Four men are paid wages but even
white men do not earn big pay in
this county and county commissioners,
who by the way are elected by
the people, receive $400 a year except
one of their number who is road
commissioner and who is paid $700.
It was Sunday when Mr. Beers visited
the camp arfd the men were
resting on their bunks, which were
..A _ 1 A.\. A 1 ? ?
strung aiong tne two sides 01 the
tent. As it was a cold day a stove
had been put up in one end of the
tent. The pipe was run along crotched
sticks to the other end and the
interior of the tent was comfortable.
All the men wore chains attached to
each ankle and these chains were attached
to short ones, which in turn
were attached to a long one and these
held all the men on one side of the
tent together. The chains are never
taken off day or night.
Practically all of the men were
FORTUNE OR PRISON
The Awkard Fix Confronting a (
Man Left a Fortune.
Ilo In l'|i AkuIiinI a Forgery Indict- *
nicnt If He Hot urns to Claim the
Millions Ijpft Hint.
With a fortune of millions of dollars
awaiting him on his mere return
to Lake county, 111., John Yule
Smith, the only brother of the late
"Silent" Smith, who died recently in
Japan, is in a perplexing predicament.
The whereabouts of the missing
brother is not definitely known,
but he is thought to be in Chill. But,
whereever he is, he Js a free .nan,
while, If he returns to Chicago to
claim his share of his dead brother's
$50,000,000 fortune, he runs a long
chance of lauding in jail. Many of
the residents of Lake county still
remember John Yule Smith, find a
great many of these declare the heir
of the Smith millions will never appear.
For 1212 years John Smith has been
a fugitive from justice, having been
indicted on several charges of forgery
and later jumping his bail. The
other members of the Smith family
tried to forget the "black sheep,"
and as a result there was general
surprise when, after "Silent" Smith's <:
death, t became known that he had a }
brother. In the last ten years before i
his death the millionaire was not *
known to have mentioned his brother's
name, nor even the fact that he
had a brother living.
If John Smitli fails to appear in
Chcago for liis share of liis brother's
fortune it will only be becaiise of his
own fear of arrest. The indictment
still hangs over him, but he will not
be prosecuted even if he does re-appear.
The money which he fradulontly
obtained was refunded by "Silent"
Smith, who also reimbursed the
man who went tlio fugitive's bond.
Time has also softened the wrath of
his victims and it is quite certain that
none of them would seek to have
him punshed if he should return. The
official who caused hisarrest is now
chief of police in Waukegan, and he
says that if Smith should return to
the State he would do nothing unless
compelled by one of his victims, and
that in all probability the indictment
against him would be quashed.
The crime for which John Smith
was indicted was frauduletly obtaining
money on worthless mortgages,
lie sold a large number of these documents,
and evaded suspicion for a
long time by paying the interest upon
them when it became due. When the
fraud was discovered Smith fled but r
a year later was arrested in Kansas,
and after extradition papers had been
secured he was lodged in jail in Lake
county. He had considerable difficulty
in securing ball, not withstand- '
ing the fact that "Silent" Smith '
worked hard for his brother's release '
When he Anally was set free on a <
bond, he left the country, two days i
later, and is at present supposed to 1
be located in Chili, where he had 1
considerable money, it is rumored.
WOMEN OUT TO PIECES.
Mutilated With lta/ors at their Home
In New York.
I
At New York Mrs. Maria Vite and
her mother, Mrs. Maria Brlgnoli were
literally stashed to pieces with razors
in their home. Gievannl Vite, the
husband of the* young woman is under
arrest, charged with the crime.
Vite says that two men broke in
and killed the women, and that he had
a struggle with them in their defence.
Mrs. Brlgnoli gave the alarm
which called the police.
An occupant vof a neihboring
apartment hoard a tapping on the
window. Looking out she saw Mrs.
Brlgnoli on the tire escape in her
night dress with blood flowing from
her throat. She fell back dead.
under 25 years of age and they did
not seem to feel their degradation in
the least. As a matter of fact a negro
who had been released from the
gang came into Rowesville, his home,
Saturday night and went around
shaking hands with all, both white
and black, and did not seem to feel
that he had been in a position at all
out of the ordinary.
The question was asked if the county
could not get better service out of
the men if they were not chained together,
and the answer was that it
would require a guard to each negro
under these conditions as the men
would run away and once lost in the
swamps they could never be found
again.
In considering this question it must
be remembered that the Southern
negro has not the same sensibility of
feeling that the white man has and
he does not feel his degradation.
Again, he will not work steadily unless
he is made to. In a mill under
Mr. Beer's care there are 40 negroes
and not a Monday morning comes
that half of the gang are not absent
under one pretext or another and the
slightest pretext is enough for him
to stop work in the middle of the
week.
They receive $1 a day, and that is
big wages for them when the cost of
living is considered. Mr. Beers has
watched them making their purchases
of honey and rice, flour, sugar,
pork and tobacco on Saturday night
in the stores of Rowesville. These
supplies were calculated to last a
week and it was evident that an average
of $1 purchases all the food
that the family will need for a week.
As nothing has to be spent for fuel
and but little for clothing, it will be
seen that the negro does not have to
work much.

yommissioiicr Mclilienny's I'ndertnking
Strolled by President. Thinks
Prejudice is living Overcome.
An effort is being made to popuarize
the civil service among the
teople of the South and it is underitood
that it was with that idea in
liind that President Roosevelt a few
nonths ago appointed J. A. Mcllhenly<
one of his rough riders, as civil
service commissioner.
It is known that the President has
lot been satisfied with the class of
leople who enter the civil service
ists from the South. Inquiry devel>ped
the curious fact that among the
letter class of people in the South,
here existed a real prejudice against
he lower grades of the government
service. In a measure, at least, this
irejudice was due to the fact, doubtess,
that many, perhaps a majority,
if the supplicants for civil service
lositions from the South were ne;roes.
lu the opinion of Commissioner
dcllhenny this prejudice gradually
s being over come. The people are
leginning to understand that poliics
cut no figure n a civil secvice exunination,
and that, although the
itepu 1)1 lean party has heen tn nationil
control for many years, the submllnate
positions in the government
km*vice are open alike to persons of
ill shades of political opinion, if they
satisfactorily demonstrate their camel
ty to till them.
Commissioner Mcllhenny is conduced,
too, that an important rea1011
for tlie receipt of so few application
from young white men and wonen
of the South through the Civil
lei vice is that that section of the
lountry is experiencing a phenomenal
ndustrlal development. This lias
ifforded both men and women of
food capacity exceptional opportunlies
to better t hemselves in a material
vay and the government service does
lot offer them so many attractions
is it might offer them if the condiions
were different.
Practical steps have been taken,
lowever, to induce well equipped
'oung white men and women of the
killth to enter the public service,
Jome Southern educational instituions
are now preparing their stulents
particularly to take civil service
examinations, and it is expected
hat this will have an important inluenee
in improving the class of apllicants
from that part of the county.

By the sudden death of Charles H.
Halllwell, vice-president of the American
Tobacco Company, the bulk of
liis great fortune will go to his wife
:>f a few months, who, before her
marriage to him, had been Ruth A.
Coles, a pretty train nurse, dependent
upon her labor for her daily
bread. He left, it is estimated, $20.1)00,000.
The fatal seizure came to' the Tobacco
Trust magnate while he was
at dinner in the Holland House with
his bride and his neice. He was telling
the two young women a humorous
story when liis face suddenly became
swollen and flushed and ne fell
from his chair unconscious. Some
hours later he died. Apoplexy war
given as the cause of Mr. Halliwell's
death.
It was last October that he married
the handsome young woman who
had nursed him through to convalescene
following an operation for appendicitis.
His physicians had ordered
him to Virginia. Miss Coles
chanced to he the nurse who was detailed
to accompany the Ilalliwell
party.
Later, while he was recuperating
in Maine, Miss Coles went along,
still in the capacity of nurse for the
ailing millionaire. Long before he
became convalescent he had fallen in
love with the woman.
Before he went with the trust,
Mr. Halliwell was the head of the
big tobacco firm of Liggett & Myers,
at St. Louis.

SCARED TO DEATH.
When the Gentleman Got His Silver
Ear Trumpet
The Negro Hotel Porter Thought It
Was a Big Horse Pistol ami Han
For His liife.
A laughable mistake occurred one
night last week at the Piedmont,
one of Atlanta's big hotels. The following
is the story as related by the
Atlanta Journal:
A shattered cup of coffee, a porter
frightened almost into hysterics and
a narrowly averts panic on the se
cond lloor of the Piedmont hotel wae
the result of an effort by Grand Commander
John J. Seav, of Rome, to
employ his harmless ear trumpet as
a means for communicating with a
negro empl jye at T>:30 o'clock Thursday
morning.
Grand Commander Seay who numbers
his friends by hosts in other organizations
as well as Masonry, Is
compelled to use Ills ear trumpet on
nearly all occasions. This little
black trumpet Is a most harmless instrument
In the eyes of his friends.
To the porter this same ear trumpet
was a means of terror and it required
much persuasion to convince the
negro who had taken refuge behind
the elevator shaft and was peering
with wide anxious eyes at the trumpet
Mr. Soay held in his hands.
The grand commander was not
able to sleep well Tueday night on
account of a severe headache. IInable
to secure any relief he thought
that a cup of black coffee might he
used us a remedy. He telephoned
to the night, clerk and asked him to
please send up the coffee.
Realizing that he would not he
able to hear the porter knock at his
door when ho came with the cup of
coffee Mr. Seay left, his door slightly
nnon with thn nun Innnnflnci'pnt liftit
turned on.
When the negro came to the door
Mr. Seay saw him in the half dim
light. He sprang from the bed and
started rapidly toward the dresser
where his ear trumpet was. As he
renehed out his hand for the trumpet
there came a piercing shriek from
the negro and as the grand commander
turned he saw the cup fall from
the negro's hands and shatter on
the floor, the black coffee spattering
the walls.
Then the negro fled to the elevator
shaft, and wrestled vainly with the
door to escape by means of the shaft.
Mr. Seay with his ear trumpet followed.
Seeing the negro's alarmed
condition Mr. Seay called to him,
telling him he did not intend to hurt
him.
"Well then, lloss, for Gawd's sake,
put down thut big Colt's pistol you
have in your hands."

Schedule of Increased Salaries of
ltural Mail Carriers.
No branch of the public service is
of more interest to the rural population
of the country than the rural
delivery of mail matter. It has had
a pm'uomtMiui development, aiui careful
administration and efficient management
has brought with it increas.
ed responsibilities for the rural carrier.
These employes are required to
perform services in a suitable conveyance
which they must furnish
, themselves.
The postoffice department, having
| these facts in mind, succeeded during
the last session of congress in
securing substantial recognition for
, the class of employes through an increase
of upwards of $6,000,000 in
the appropriation for the next fiscal
year.
, The calculations incident to a proportionate
distribution of the amount
appropriated under authority of congress?to
Increase the maximum sal.
aries of rural carriers to not exceeding
$000 per annum?necessarily
| required most careful consideration.
The work has been progressing under
the immediate supervision of the
fourth assistant postmaster general
and the superintendent of the rural
| delivery.
Postmaster General Meyer has approved
the detailed adjustment and
the new schedule, which will become
effective July 7, 1907, will make a
graded increase in the compensation
of carriers of from 9 to 2 5 per cent,
based upon the number of miles traversed
by carriers as shown by the
records of the department. The re1
adjustment adopted will involve an
expenditure for rural service during
the fiscal year of nearly $35,000,000.
The schedule is as follows:

DIED AT HIS POST.
An Engineer Killed by Robbers for
Defending His Train.
Northern Pacific Train Held Up in
Montana, Hut No Hooty Secured.
One liobbcr Captured.
North Coast Limited, eastbound
train No. 22 on the Northern Pacific
railway, was held up by two masked
men near Welch's Spur, a siding 18
miles east of Hutte, Mon., at 2:15
Wednesday morning.
Engineer James Clow was shot and
Instantly killed and Fireman James
Sullivan was shot through the arm.
Without making an attempt to blow
up the express car, as was evidently
Intended, the robbers jumped from
the engine and rau down tho mountain
side dissapearlng in a gluch several
hundred yards from the track.
Sheriff Henderson of Hutte was notified
and with a posse left on a train
for the scene of the hold-up. Sheriff
Webb of Yellowstone county was on
the train with one of the the train
ere started on the trail of the holdup
men live minutes after the shooting.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail
and one of the fugitives was captured
at Woodville, near Butte.
Tho robbers left a telescope grip
on the tender of the locomotive. The
grip was full of giant powder, evidently
intended for use in blowing
up the express car. The men boarded
the train presumably at the Butte
transfer station, where a locomotive
for the Montana division was attached.
One mile west of Welch the men
crawled over the tender and with
drawn guns, commanded the engineer
to stoj) the train, which he did.
Engineer Clow, however, made a
show of resistance and one of the
robbers fired, shooting him through
the body, killing him instantly. The
other man shot at Sullivan, breaking
his arm.
Whent the train stopped Conductor
Bert Culver and the train crew ran
to the engine, where they foun a colored
man, who related the circumstances
of the hold-up. This man
said that he had been stealing a ride
and that the men offered him a third
of the "booty" if he would assist
them. He said he had refused and
had taken no part in the hold-up. He
says h can identify the robber, and
the man is being held for this purpose.
The posse with bloodhounds was
joined at Welsh by R. If. Goddard,
chief of the Northern Pacific detectives
at Livingston; Deputy Sheriff
Jas. Keon of Gallatin county, and
.las. Latta of Boxeman. Keon and
Latta are the men who tracked and
captured "Ike" Gravett, who some
time ago tried to force the Northern
Pacific Railroad company to pay
$50,000 blackmail.

KILLS HIS BROTH I
Shocking Tragedy Occurred Sun1
day Night in Saluda.
I *
WalkH Into The liedroom of His
Brother and, In u Drunken Condition,
Shoots Him Down.
A shocking fratricide was committed
on Sunday night in the extreme
northwestern section of Saluda county
when Lawton Lowery, a young
white man, shot his brother, Preston
Lowery, to death in the home of the
latter.
From the meagre information obtained
Monday morning at this distance
from the awful tragedy it appears
that Lawton Lowery, who lives
in the home of his bro er whom lie
lias slain, came in some time during
the night, and going to It is brother's
room with a shot gun told him lie
was going to kill him. The dead
man replied: "Xo, 1 reckon not; but
seeing (he drunken condition of Lawton
and fearing he would do something
rush, lie ran under the bed
from him. After remaining under
the lied for a short time lie started to
come out, whereupon the fatal shot
was fired and he was killed almost
, instantly.
The affair is deeply deplore! by the
people In that section who know the
two boys. Lawton was the older and
unmarried. Preston Lowery was
married. They lived in the same
home and were farming together.
Tnere seem to have been no cause
at till for the homicide and it is at-^
tributed to the drunkenness of Law-W
ton. who, it is said, was addicted not *
only to drink but also to the use of
morphine.
Realizing next morning the enormity
of his crime, it is said that the
livng brother is now begging that he
also be killed. The home of the
Lowery boys is In the Panhandle
section of Saluda coonty and close to
the Edgefield line. They are sons of
Mr. James Lowery.
