by the Supreme Court in tlie ease of
Harry Mcintosh and John W illiams,
two negro hoys who wore convicted
of killing Andrew Jackson, a little
white boy, in the city of Florence.
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.
Florence was greatly stirred by
the disappearance of little Andrew
Jackson and for days scores of men
searched every nook and corner of
Florence County, tho body being

State Penitentiary, where they were
brought for safe keeping some time
ago.
Governor BJease late Monday afternoon
sent the following telegram
to the sheriff of Florence County:
"Harry Mcintosh and John Williams
subject to your orders for return to
Florence."
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

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. Garrison has been appointed
postmaster at Ten-mile, Herkeley

"It is the hope of those who believe

NEW INVENTION THAT MAY END

+
Soldier, After Reing Shot, Will Takel*
a Nap?Hig Game Can be Obtained (
llunianely and Fleeing liurglnrs c
Sent to the Land of Nod I'ntil the <
Police Arrive. i
The painless blowing off of one's
arms during war time, the humane f
shooting of wild game on hunting expeditions,
and the simple operation of
firing the specially prepared bullet .
into the heel of a fleeing burglar to
have his run a few yards farther and
then go off into peaceful slumber, is A
what a Pittsburg scientist hopes for
a medically treated bullet with which
he is experimenting, says the Wash- j
ington Post. .
lie hopes to have the United State? t
Government adopt the bullet for i
army use. 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.
The man whose wound is mortal
sleeps away his last hours, thus dn
ing away with most of the .battle field 1
horror. The fleeing burglar is shot 1
in the arm, runs forward a short dla- i
tance, stretches himself on the side- '
walk, and all the policeman has to do ?.
is to summon an ambulance and haul \
him away. The big game hunters, t
Humphrey says, will feel no feur of i
a counter-stroke from a wounded i

rho Senator Tells Wry Tliere Are So
Many Negroes and So Few Whites
Employed.
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.

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

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.
