' NEGROES TO DIE FOR KILLING ROY, / harry Mcintosh and jno wil LIAMS convicted at florence of child murder. The jury in the case of Harry Mcintosh and John Williams, charged with the murder of little Andre* Jackson, returned a verdict at 11:3C o'clock Saturday night at Florence declaring both defendants guilty Both were sentenced to be electro cuted August 9. In this case the reliance of the State was on the statements of Fred' die Mcintosh,a younger brother, anc William Foxworth, another hack driver. These statements were made in the jail and the defense used every effort to break them down by testimony to show that the prisoners had been mistreated and beaten and harrowed into making them. Freddie Mcintosh particularly declared he had said only what he had been forced to say and he was a most stubborn witness in spite of the adroit handling by Solicitor Spears and Solicitor Wells. He would admit practically nothing, and the statements were nut in evidence bv show ing that they had been read to the witnesses in the presence of the defendant. Freddie Mcintosh in his statement said that he had seen the two boys, Harry Mcintosh and John Williams, pass a certain corner near the stables where little Andrew had been looking at the auto engine bogged in the mire. Andrew had jumped on the rear of the hack and been dragged in by the arm by Harry,who told John to drive fast. The witness had returned home, he said, to see them take the boy out of the hack. John Williams held the boy, he said, while Harry struck him twice with an iron bar across the back. The witness heard the little boy call out that he was dead and would never see his mother again, cfotomant coir) Mo eoo.'

He saw them get the skirts Bpnd wrap the body in i?. and afterwards they took it and hid it in a closet until the next night, when they carried it away, and he heard them say that they had it safe. William Foxworth gave pretty much the same evidence on the stand that he had given in his statement, and he declared that he had been mistreated in the jail. He saw the two boys come back in the hack about 6:30 o'clock and take the bun' die out of the hack and put it through the crack in the stables and cover it up. The State showed that the shoe which Harry Mcintosh wore made the very peculiar print that was noted in one of the tracks around the car where the body was found. They proved a fight between Andrew Jgckson and some other little negro Toys, and a threat by Harry Mcintosh to hurt Andrew Jackson if he did not let his little brother alone. The effort of the defense was to prove that John Williams was not driving the hack at that time, having been discharged, and that Harry Mcintosh was visiting friends until the time to go to the depot with the hacks, and that he was there at the time. In rebuttal the State introduced evidence to show that Henry Mcintosh,the father, had made a promise of reward to one negro to swear to anything that would get his boy out of trouble and especially that William Foxworth and not John Williams was driving the white horse that night. They tried also to establish the fact that even though the statements of Henry Mcintosh and J^- women might be true, there was still time for the crime to have been committed as was stated.

How His Pesistency Won Chance to Re-enter Naval Academy. i Washington, June 15:?Following ' a call from Senators Tillman and Smith and Congressman Lever upon the President in behalf of the ap. .1 pointment of former Midshipman VV I H Saunders to the Naval Academy. r the navy department has notified ) Representative Lever that young Saunders will be allowed to take the examination tor admission to tne Naval Academy. The circumstances are interesting enough to review. Saunders was dismissed from the Naval Academy last year upon the I ground of "inaptitude for the naval . service." The charge was that he , was refractory and not amenable to discipline. Mr Saunders has fought , his case with a degree of pugnacity and optimism seldom witnessed in a , boy of his age. Immediately upon his dismissal he took the case up with Representative Lever, who has stood by him in and out of season, and who promptly reappointed him to the vacancy which his dismissal created. The superintendent of the academy refused to pass favorably upon the nomination. This was in September of last year. Saunders did not despair of his fight, but came to Washington with the opening of Congress and has been here every day since fighting for an opportunity to prove that his dismissal was not justified by the circumstances. Both Senators from South Carolina and Mr Lever have called upon the President several times in behalf of the dismissed midshipman, and a few we-iks ago three of them, accompanied by the boy, went to Annapolis and interviewed the commandant of the academy, Capt Gibbons. The interview was in a measure satisfactory, but it did not guarantee the readmission of Saunders, which was the supreme end in view. Last Thursday the Senators, with Representative Lever and Mr Saunders. made a strong appeal to the President, reviewing with him in detail the entire record in the case, with the result that the President called into conference Assistant Secretary Winthrop, of the navy department, who has been inclined to favor Mr Saunders throughout the fight. The outcome is that young Saunders is reinstated?not to his former place, but is given the right to take the initial examination, which is what the fight had narrowed down to, and which Saunders was perfectly willing to do as a condition of reentering the naval service. Representative Lever, speaking of the affair, said: 'It is one of the most remarkable cases I have ever seen. If this young man does not make good it will not be his fault. He has in him every element of a fighter,and mentally he is a genius. When everything seemed hopeless he was optimistic. I am proud of this victory, both for him and for the State, and I do not hesitate to say that but for his own optimism, and the strong support of Senators Tillman and Smith, I do not believe we could have won this fight. I am proud of this boy and I am sure the State in years to come will feel equally proud of him." Cigars and Cigarettes. According to statistics given out by the Tobacco Leaf, there are con-: sumed in the United States every j day 21,718,448 cigars and 23,736,190 cigarettes,not including those rolled by the smokers themselves. These figures are large. Taken alone, they seem to confirm the fears of those who go about dreading the ravage of the cigarette scourge. But measured against the population of the 1 country, they are seen to be small., They show a per-capita consumption of less than a cigarette a day for the male voting population alone, and considerably less than a cigar a I day. It is therefore clear that we have not become so addicted to the; cigarette habit as to make it a mat- [ ter of concern to any considerable number of people. 5 or 6 doses 666 will break any case of chills and fever; it acts on the liver better than calomel, and does not gripe or sicken. 25c. 6-23-4 m Quick Metbod oi Killing Flies. The advent of hot weather makes 1 it important to know something ! about the newest methods of getting l rid of flies. To clear a room of flies, j pepper and sugar may be used in | this way: Heat a shovel or any similar article and drop thereon pepper ; and white sugar, letting it dissolve. The fumes circulating through the room will kill the flies. A cheap and perfectly reliable fly poison,one which is not dangerous to human life, is bichromate of potash in solution. Dissolve one dram,which can be bought at any drug store, in two ounces of water, and add a little sugar. Put some of this solution in shallow dishes and distribute them about the house. Sticky fly-paper and liquid poisons are among the things to use in killing flies, but the latest,cheapest and best is a solution of formalin or formaldehyde in water. A spoonful of this liquid put into a quart or a pint of water and exposed in the room will be enough to kill all the flies. To quickly clear the room where there are many flies, burn pyrethrum powder in the room. This stupefies the flies, when they may be swept up and burned. Ends Hunt for Rich Girl.
