' 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.' Harrv

choke the boy after he fell to the
ground. 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.

CASE OF CADET SAUNDERS.
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.

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.
Often the hunt for a rich wife
ends when the man meets a worn- '
an that uses Electric Bitters. Her 1
strong nerves tell in a bright brain '
and even temper. Her peach-bloom
complexion and ruby lips result from
her pure blood; her bright eyes from
restful sleep; her elastic step from
firm, free muscles, all telling of the
health and strength Electric Bitters
give a woman,and the freedom from
indigestion, backache, headache,
fainting and dizzy spells they promote.
Everywhere they are woman's
| favorite remedy. If weak or ailing
try them. 50c at M L Allen's. i
