The two negroes had been sentenced to die in the electric chair. The decision was written by Associate Justice llydrick and concurred in by the entire Court. The body of young Andrew J tickson was found in sin empty box car on the repair track at Florence on March S, of last year. Circumstances indicated that he had been murdermi. The tracks of a man were found leading to and from the car. Several days later four negro boys, William Foxworth, Freddie Mcintosh, Harry Mcintosh and John Williams, were arrested on suspicion. Freddie Mcintosh and William Foxworth made statements to the sheriff implicating Harry Mcintosh and John Williams, which statements wero reduced to writing and signed by the two boys. These two wore used as witnesses for the Sfate, but when on the stand Freddie Mcintosh denied his statement and charged it had been obtained under duress which the sheriff denied. The statements were admitted and the Su-' promo Court holds that the lower Court erred in admitting it.

YEGUMAN AT FOHT MOTTE. Tried to Enter Post Office Hut Was Frightened Away. The State says a fourth visit of yeggmen has been reported. An attempt was made early Sunday morning, just three hours before the Kingville robbery, to enter the post oflice at Fort f.Motte. A stranger appeared at Fort Motte Saturday. He represented himself to Town Marshall Furtiek to be a detective of the United States post office department, and inquired as to whether or not the marshal would care to do some sleuth work for that department. The stranger wanted to know, too, whether the marshal would be on duty Saturday night. The questions aroused suspicion. Saturday night Marshal Furtiek took a position on a perch in view of the post office and waited. About 1 o'clock Sunday morning he saw a man appear at the post office, feeling his way about with a flashlight. It was too dark for Town Marshall Furtick to distinguish any one. Coming off his perch in order to get a nearer view of the mysterious party, Furtiek stumbled and the noise that ho nindi* was imnra Um ? ? .. ??./ M M J I UU Illtlll at (ho post oflice. Furtick fired as the man sprinted toward the river in the direction of Kingville. The pursuit continued for some distance with Furtick firing as he ran, until tlie party with the flashlight disappeared in the darkness. Whether it was his detective friend or not Furtick never found out. Sheriff Hill at St. Matthews was communicated with and asked to bring his bloodhounds to the scene, but the sheriff said that as everything was extremely dry the dogs would not work. At 4 o'clock Sunday morning the post oflice at Kingville was robbed by two yeggs, making the fourth job in as many days. As yet no arrests have been made. ? Worst Typhoon In Many Years The worst typhon experienced in years struck the Philipine Islands Saturday causing many deaths and wrecking several small steamers and numerous lighter craft. The known fatalities at sea total 5 8, but the total death list from the storm swelling with incoming reports. It is believed no Americans lost their lives. Two More Taind Jobs. W. D.

He is trying to get the ( Society for the Prevention of Cruelty ( to Animals to recognize its merits, t and then induce sportsmen to adopt < it. He later will givo the police f chiefs of the country a few boxes to i experiment with. 1 The new compound, "the narcotic i bullet," is tlie invention of Alexander ( F. Humphrey. Experiments are being t conducted by a committee of army i officers, police officials, and sports- t men. It is considered alike humane i in warfare and deadly in hunting big ( game. In self-defence it provides the poor marksman with all the advan- i tages of an unerring aim. i In his sleep-producing missile ( Humphrey uses a minute particle of i morphia. The drug is carried in tiny ^ wells in the steel jacket of the regu- f lation army bullet. f Humphrey claims that it in no wise interferes with the effectiveness 1 of the missile. The slight lndenta- * tion in the steel jacket, ho says, 1 causes no splintering when it comes ( in contact with the bone. The wound * of the narcotic bullet, according to I his theory, does not differ from that 1 caused by the regulation bullets now 1 used In the approved army cartridges. ( Xo deleterious effects will follow the unique administration of the drug. The soldier, receiving a slight flesh wound from the new bullet, fights no t more that day; he calmly stretches 1 himself on the ground and goes to r sleep. 1 The man receiving a serious wound ' suffers no agony, as the narcotic 1 from the bullet is absorbed by his 1 system and he is insensible to pain ' before he reaches the hospital.

A question which is more or less igitated in Washington right now is lie segregation of the races in the Jovernment departments. This plan s favored by senator Tillman of < South Carolina and Senator Yardman )f Mississippi. In discussing this luestion Senator Tillman was asked vhy there were more colored persons i n the Civil Service than whites from he South. It is said that there are 12,000 negroes in the service. Senator Tillman answered the qu>stion with charasteristic frankness. 'I think it is due to the unwillingness )f the white women and white men )f the South to go to school as it vere, alongside of negroes," he said. "The white people of the South are lot much in love with the equality mplied by the Civil Service examinaions. They therefore, neglect to take he examinations and get on the eligi lie list. These lists are humbugs, if course as we all know because the jertification of the three names at he top from which the appointing ifficer must ehooso and failing to ind the proper material for the clerk n the first three can call for another, f President Wilson," continued Senitor Tillman, "and the Cabinet otli- 1 ers under him use the proper correcive, and it need not he drastic or evolutionary, I should think in three ir four years we would have a very adical chance in conditions in thn ivil service in Washington." Whether the civil service reforms idvocated will be carried out or not, t is a fact that some of the cabinet ?lllcers and their assistants are seekng to separate the negroes and vhites in the service as much as posdble. John Skelton Williams of Virginia, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in paying a visit to the bureau of Printing and Engraving a 1 ihort while ago found the white and legro employees eating lunch together. Ho ordered it stopped at once ind insisted that separate places ho erovidod. lie said that it might be , iccessary for them to work together 3 ut it was not necessary for them to eat together. Earned His Pension A mule which belonged to the late I. Warren Purely died at the home of lis son, 3. C. Pursley of Clover. This mule was 3.r> years old. It was purchased when three years old and lad worked 2 7 crops, for tho last Ive years it has been well cared for. It was given decent burial by memaers of the family. Wagon Was Struck. Near Tulse, Ariz., four men were nRtantly killed and another perhaps I 'atally injured when lightning struck i wagon in which they were riding ruesday. The driver was uninjured. tiger, lion, or grizzly hear. Although ;he bullet may make but a slight ivound, the game is as good as bagged once it is struck. STOLE SHIP PLANS SEVERAL PAPERS OF IMPORTANCE ARE TAKEN. j ? BATTLESHIP DRAWINGS! St mot llt'ill I'lllllS of I ll'Kiiiliiiiu trlif Pennsylvania Aiming the Missing I ?Navy Officials Not so Much C011! corned Over Wliut lias llecn Lost as What May he Taken in Future, j Special agents of the department of justice oflicers of a nationally known detective agency and the local police have been called in by the navy department to investigate a "leak" through which during the last four months several relatively unimportant plans of ships and also minor documents have disappeared. Navy olllciuls are inclined to minimize the importance of the losses. The first losses were discovered on the night of March 1. Some minor structural plans of the dreadnaught Pennsylvania, now building, and other ships were among them. Documents not especially secret disappeared. Navy officials said they are not much concerned over the importance of what already has been lost as they are to find the leak and prevent further losses. ICach battleship has several sets of plans which are sometimes widely distributed among the bureaus and contractors. The gen eral plan is never very much of a secret. The navy department late Tuesday Issued (his statement: "On the night of March 4 (inauguration day) when there were a large number of people in the State, War and Navy buildings, assembled to witness the inaugural fireworks, there were taken, by persons as yet unknown, from the draughting room of the bureau of steam engineering, uncompleted plans of the electric wiring of the new battleship Pennsylvania. These plans showed the general arrangement of the decks and hatches, but would be of no particular value to any one wishing to obtain naval information not generally made public. A short time after similar plans were missed from the same draughting room. The matter is still under investigation." The rooms of the Rteam engineering bureau commanded a line view of the fireworks and a number of visi- 1 tors were in them on the night of March 4. For the most part these I were members of the families of officials and clerks and no one was ad- ^ mitted without a pass. The plans were ordinary blue prints, lying on the drafting table, but were large pnnilph t r? mnlro nulto o r, ~ ? ?D.. <[uiiv cv v,unt>j/ii;utlU? roll. The fact that other plans for electrical wiring were missed after the 4th of March tended to relieve the visitors from suspicion and as this was the last occasion upon which the rooms were open to others than employees the investigation turned in their direction. 4 LUNATIC KILIaS GENERAL. #. , High Prussian Officer Was Shot j Down On Streets ( At Munch, Bavaria, Major Gen.
