AN ILLEGAL MARRIAGE
A Travelling Salesman With a Wife
r jjn North Carolina, Marries Young
I>ady at Kingstree, and Faces Imprisonment
on Charge of lligamy
for Having Two Wives.
A. W. Phelps, a travelling salesman
for the International Harvester
Company, lies seriously ill at the
Kellahal Hotel at Kingstree, while
Sheriff Graham holds a warrant of
charging nlm with bigamy,
^Ki which will be sc'Nod as soon
jrVlps is sufficiently recovered to be
removed to the jail
| Three marirages were performed
at Kingstree on Easter day, one of
which waB that of A. \V. Phelps to
the daughter of a respectable farmer,
living a few miles from KingsI'
tree. The couple took the train at
9.12 on Sunday night, going to Lanes
and spent the night there. On Monday
they came back to Kingstree,
^ Phelps having suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis, and put up at
* the hotel.
' l^oanwhile, the Rev. Mr. Hurt, of
the Baptist church, who had performed
the ceremony and to whose
congregation the young lady belonged,
received information that Phelps
was not legally entitled to contract
a marriage, as he then had a wife
living in North Carolina.
Mr. Hurt promptly began an investigation,
which uncovered facts
sufficient to warrant him in going
to Phelps and charging him in having
practiced a gross fraud, both on
the minister and the innocent girl.
Phelps admitted that he had been
married, but was divorced at Greensboro,
N. C.
When the minister, however, offered
to wire the clerk of Court at
Greensboro for proof of this statement,
Phelps objected, saying the
clerk of court might be dead and
please to wait until he was recovered
from his attack, when he wou'd
& straighten the matter.
I Investigation further disclosed the ;
fart thnt Phelns had told other nar
-ties that he was married. These
factjj unfortunately came to knowledge
after the ceremony had been
performed on Sunday morning. The
father of the young lady was communicated
with, and came at once
to the hotel and laid the facts before
J) 1b daughter.
The poor girl is, of course, crushed
and mortified, so are also her
parents. She returned home with
her mother about sundown, and on
the advice of the solicitor .her father
8w<^o out a warrant, charging Phelps
witP^Jgamy, and he is at present
undor the supervision or Sheriff Gra- i
ham. i
The sheriff wired the clerk of <
court at Greensboro 4o know if
Phelps had been divorced there, as \
he claims. If he cannot set himself
straight before the preliminary,
which will be held later, he will hava '
to face a Williamsburg Jury on a
charge of bigamy.

MUST BE OBAYED
NEW ORDERS FOR THE EXPRESS 1
COMPANY AGENTS.
All Packages of Whiskey Must Re S
Received by the Person to Whom
They Are Addressed.
Under a new order of the Southern
Express company it will be ajs
little difficult for a person to "get t
fire water" from a foreign point d
shipped into this city or county over {*
the express lines. The new rule ^
went into effect last week.
Hereafter shipments of whiskey to ^
be delivered at a consignee's residence
may not, as has heretofore 8
been the case, be signed for by thelr
consignee's wife, or child or servant,
but must be delivered to the r
\
person who ordered dt, unless there ^
it a bona fide signed order, properly ^
dated and naming the party to whom j
delivery is to be made. Here's why:
Section 238 of the penal laws of 8
the United States, which reads as ^
fc'lows:
"Any officer, agent or employe of
any railroad company, express com- ^
pany or other common carriers shall
knowingly deliver or cause to be
delivered to any person other than ^
the person to whom it has been consigned.
unless unon
der in each Instance of tho bona
fide consignee, of to any fictitious
person, or to any person under a .
fictitious name, any spirituous, vinous,
malted, fermented or other intoxicating
liquor of any kind which
has been shipped from one state, ter- .
ritory or district of the United States ,
place non-contiguous to but subject
ject to the jurisdiction thereof into
any other state, territory or district
of the United States, or place non- ^
contiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, or from any foreign
country into any state, territory
or district of the United States, or .
place non?ontiguous to but subject v
to the jurisdiction thereof shall be
fined rot nore than $5,000 or imprisomnrnt
not more than two years, .
or both."
This law *veit into effe j; January j
?st, 3 010, but it is understood has w
sot been etrictly observed by the
agents of the companies it affects. | h

Murderer, Who Was Accompanied
by Another Man.
A special dispatch to The State !
ays in the vicinity of Parks Station,
hree miles east of Laurens, Saturay
night Toney Anderson was shot
lead in the cabin home of Ida Mc)oy
Nelson, the negress herself morally
wounded, dying a few hours
ater, and Alex Ray, living a mile
listant, was called to his door and
hot through the heart, expiring alnost
instantly.
Anderson and the woman were
nurdered by Claude Ferguson, who
vas accompanied by, another negro,
im Davis, on his death dealing tour.
Ferguson was armed with a shotgun,
)avis with a pistol, according to a
itatement made by the woman before
ihe died, and that of her daughter,
iosa, an eye-witness to the tragedy
n their house.
It is believed that Ray was killed
>y the same murderers, though the
:oroner's jury Sunday returned a verlict
to the effect that he came to
lis death at the hands of parties
inknown.
Ferguson and Davis made their esape,
although every effort has been
nade to apprehend them. Roth lived
n the community in which the crimes
vere committed, and it is known
hat trouble, involving all parties,
vith the possible exception of Davis,
lad existed for some time. Ferguson
vas only recently liberated from jail
ifter the settlement of some misde- i
neanor with which he was charged
nd preferred by one of his broth- <
rs. <
The ante mortem statement of the i
nordered woman and the testimony <
f her daughter, who was in the |
ouso when the shooting occurred,
rere to the effect that Ida and two
f her small children had retired
nd that Andersn was a caller. Be ^
ween 9 and 10 o'clock some one
tipped on the door, saying it was
im Davis. The door was opened,
'hereupon two men rushed in, Feruson
leading with a shotgun in his 1
and. Without a word Ferguson f
lised the gun and shot Anderson
ead in his chair over against the t
Lher side of the room, and then a
irned and fired into the woman as c
io attempted to raise herself in *
2d. Both her hands were mangled e
' riddled with shot, but she manag1
to escape from the room and had 11
;ached tho road, some 50 yards '
-vay, when the murderers came up
ith her and shot her down. Both 8<
?d. The woman was carried to
ie house of her brother, whom
ed two hours later. She was literalshot
to pieces. c<
About an hour after the double ii
Ime at Ida Nelson's, Alex Ray was
used by some one In the yard who ii
ished to see him on business. Ray rl
ime to the door and his callers ask1
If he could change a dollar. Ray
(piled that he probably could, and
pon getting his pocketbook return
1 to the door when he was felled to tl
ie floor with a ghastly gunshot

word. Ills wife heard the talking
efore the shot was fired, but did

ASYLUM BUILDERS
? ?
AHLK MEN KKJjKCTKI) FOR TIIK
IMPORTANT WORK.
They arc to Iaiy tlie Foundation for
a New Hospital for the State's
Insane.
Under "a joint resolution to create
a commission to purchase lands for
the use of the State Hospital for
the Insane and erect buildings there-1
on and provide the means therefor,"
Gov. Ansel has appointed Dr. J. W.
Babcock, superintendent of the State
Hospital for the Insane, Columbia, S.
C.,; Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr., chairman
of th? State board of health, Charleston,
S. C.; Judge R. O. Purdy,
Sumter, S. C.; Dr. George B. Cromer,
Newberry, S. C.; Mr. LeRoy Springs,
Lancaster, S. C.; a commission to
be known as the State Hospital commission,
the term of office of said
commission to be for one year from
the date of their appointment.
Under the Asylum Act passed by
tlx. n..? ?? 1 * > i ' ?
me uciiuiai A?s'',iiiuiy, iins commission
is empowered to borrow for the
Improvement of the property of the
Asylum and the purchase of lands.
The amount of money provided by
the Legislature to he borrowed by
the Asylum commission is in addition
to the amount named in the
appropriation bill for maintenance
of the institution. The Asylum received
about $200,000 from the State
this year.
The commission is empowered to
build upon such plans as may be
agreed upon. The commission is appointed
for one year and receives for
each member a i>er diem of $0 per
day and expenses while engaged in
the work for which the commission
is named. The money for the purpose
is to be borrowed from the sinking
fun, at a rate not exceeding 5
per cent, or elsewhere.
'As the Act is effective upon approval,
and the commission has now
hen named, it is expected that the
same will be called for a meeting
very soon. At the last session of the
board of regents suggestions were
made for the needs of the Hospital.
Tho general understanding is that
the land will be purchased, probably
near Columbia, and at least one, if
not more, buildings will be erected,
so that the very crowded condition
of the State Hospital for the Insane
may be to some extent relieved. *
