Blow.
Mr. J. D. Norrie, oversee: for Mr.
J. H. Myers, met with a f.ital acci?
dent on Monday afternoon while
erecting a wire fence near White Sid?
ing. In some way the ir strument
failed to catch in the meshes of the
wire and the lever flew back, striking
Mr. Norfrls on the temple. He was
knocked unconscious and died from
the ?ffe:t of the blow several hours
later. The accident took place about
noon and death came betweon 6 and
fi o'clock In the afternoon.
A negro and a white man were
working with Mr. Norris at the time
and they at once went to Myers' store
and telephoned to Sumter for a doc?
tor, who arrived in less than half an
hour, but he was unable to do any?
thing to save the injured man. The
accident was a most unfortunate one
i
and the people of the community
deeply deplore Mr. Norris' tragic
death, and heartfelt sympathy is felt
for the widow.
Mr. Norris wao about 40 years of
age and is survived by his wife and

RI FlSE TO RECEIVE PRIEST.
Many Injured When Effort Is Made'
to Force Catholic Father on Peo-1
pic of South Bend.
South Bend, Ind., Feb. IB.?Seven
persons were probably seriously in?
jured and nearly 100 others slightly
hurt hero today in a riot that re?
sulted when 25 policemen attempted
to aid Sheri.f Edward Swanson in car?
rying out an order of Judge W. A.
I unk that the Rev. Stanislaus GrutS
be placed In charge of St. Casimier's
Polish Roman Catholic church. The
rm b comprised about 2,000 men and
women and after righting two hours
they successfully blocked the efforts
of Father Gruza to take possession of
the church.
Father Gruza was transferred to
the parish a year ago but the parish
loners refused to accept him. Six hun?
dred families in the parish then took
charge of the church, barred the
doors and windows and petitioned the
Mshop to assign them another priest.
Thlg was refused and the matter was
taken into court where Judge Funk
ordered the sheriff to place Father
Gruza in charge.
Early today the sheriff, a deputy
and the priest drove to the church but
mm diately were surrounded and the
police were called on for aid. Twen?
ty-five policemen were sent to tht
church and the doors broken open.
The angry parishoners then charged
the otllctrs and the battle was fought
In the street
The fire department was called to
aid the police but was unable to help
as the mob surrounded the wagons
and threatened to cut the hose.
Father Gruza watched the fight
from a house two blocks away.

RETURNS FROM ATLANTA.
R, L Manning Thinks That Favor?
able Showing Was Made by South
Carolina Delegation,
Mr. R. I. Manning returned to Sara
ter Sunday morning from Atlanta,
where he has been for the past three1
days with the South Carolina delega?
tion, in attendance upon the hearing
before the regional reserve board con?
sisting of Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, Comptroller of the Treas?
ury John Skelton Williams and Sec?
retary of Agriculture Houston and to
express the views of South Carolina
bankers on the establishment of a
regional reserve bank.
Mr. Manning stated that he con?
sidered that the delegation of fifteen,
representing the general assembly, the
I .-ankers and the commercial organiza?
tions of the s(ate. had made a very
favorable showing bet?re the board.
.Messrs. W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw, R,
1. Manning of Sumter, and B. F. Tay?
lor of Columbia and E. J. Watson of
Columbia had stated the views of the
South Carolina bankers to the board.
They had advocated, first, to have a
regional district north and south, the
latter to consist of the District of Co- '
lumbta, Virginia, the eastern part of
West Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. They
asked that the regional bank be suffi?
ciently large to furnish resources to
meet the borrowing needs of-the dis?
trict
The committee advocated Columbia
i
as their Aral choles a* a ^itc for the
regional bank, and Richmond as their
second ch< Ice, with the exception that
?Ome of tli" I Linkers preferred to have
Maryland included in the district and
i altirnore as the site for the regional
. a rvs auk, while others though*.
ihat the regional reserve1 bank should
be situated In Washington if ColumJ
da couid not socure it. I
The views of the South Carolina
delegation seemed to make a favorable
impression on the board and it is
thought that South Carolina will
bo put in the desired district with the
location of the regional reserve bank
still unsettled.
AMEND TAX LAW.
Will am Fortune Tells of Conference
With Oscar Underwood. No Action
Now.
Indianapolin, Ind., Feb. 15.?That
the income tax law may be amended
by congress to meet objections voiced
by business interests was the state?
ment made here today by William
ortune of Indianapolis, chairman of
a committee, representing the Cham
berg ot Commerce in mnay large
cities. The committee was appointed
to Inquire into requirements of the
new law.
"In a conference at Washington,
Mr. Underwood, chairman of the
house committee on ways and means,"
said Mr. Fortune, "told us that he
does not think it necessary, according
to law, to report any Income on which
j there are exemptions or on w hich
there have been deductions at the
'source. He does not think it Is neces?
sary to require certificates from for
< Sign owners of American securities.
There seemed to be danger that on
account of troubles connected with
the Income law there might start an
avalanche of selling by foreign own?
ers of American bonds.
"Mr. Underwood advised our com?
, mlttee that congress could not now
make any changes in the law before
Match I and ioj the Hist of the Indi?
vidual returns must be made by that
time, It would make no difference if
the modifications to bo made by con?
gress should be deferred until near
the end Of tho year."

RED CROSS W ORK.
Final Report Shows Large Number of
Seals Sold In this State.
Coumbla, Feb. 16.?The llnal re?
port of the Red Cross Seal Commie?
s'on of South Carolina on the year's
campaign for selling . the Christmas
seals in the fight against tuberculosis
has recently been made public by
Reed Smith, who as secretary and
treasurer has had charge of the work
in the central office in Columbia. The
results are gratifyingly large and suc?
cessful. Generous assistance and co
operation was received on all sides.
116 agents from all parts of the State
Joined in the effort to make the sea?
son's success noteworthy. It is owing
chiefly to their earnest and enthus?
iastic efforts that the sale met with
such splendid success. Altogether a
grand total of 240,000 seals were sold
during December, realising the hand?
some sum of $2,400. Of this only 10
per cent, $240.00, goes to the Nation- i
al Association. The rest, with neces?
sary expenses taken out, remains in
the State for advertising and relief
work in the fight against tuberculosis.
This is the first year that a State?
wide campaign has been attempted,
and neither the Commission uor the.
National Association anticipated such j
gratifying results. In a letter to the
Secretary, Dr. Phillip P. Jacobs of
the National Association in New
York writes:
"I am completely surprised and
very much delighted to hear of the
remarkable sale of Red Cross Seals in
South Carolina. When we organized
the work in your State, I was hope?
ful that probably the sale throughout
the State would aggregate 100,000 and
after Mr. Van Blarcom returned and
gave me such a flattering report of
the situation, I said that probably the
sale might reach 160,000 but it would
hardly exceed that amount. Imagino
my surprise, therefore, when I learn- j
ed from your letter that the sale Is
approximately 250,000."
Mr. Ernest P. Dicknell, National
Director of the American Red Cross
in Washington writes: "During 1911,
>,2J0 seals were sold in your state
and in 1912, 9,260 were sold. You
can, therefore, readily understand
the great satisfaction we feel in the
success of your 1913 seal campaign,
which has resulted In the sale of
practically one quarter of a million
seals. Permit me to express to you
the appreciation of the American Red
Cross of the helpful co-operation of
yourself and the other members of
your committee In the fight which Is
being waged against tuberculosis.'*
The commission naturally feels
encouraged over the year's work and
congratulates the State and the j
splendid corps of agents on the show?
ing made. The year's work has put
the Red Cross Seal Christmas move?
ment on a firm footing. Most of the
work done this year was pioneer in
nature. The next year, and the suc?
ceeding years should witness even
arger returns.
Almost without exception the
agents did fine work. To give full
credit would mean to name all com
i munitlOg in which the seals were solo.

FEDERAL GENERAL SALAZAR
UNEASY LEAST RE BE SHOT.
Five Thousand Prisoner* Held at Fort
Biles by Gen. Scott.?-Federal Com?
mander Han no Desire to Escape.
El Pao, Texas, Feb. 15.?Hundreds
*t visitors today went to Fort Bliss
to view the prison camp where Gen.
Hugh L. Scott is caring- for more than
f.,000 Mexican men, women and chil?
dren, who fled after tho federals were
defeated at OJinaga a month ago.
Meanwhile Gen. Jose Ines Salazar,
prisoner, was uneasy and sulked with-j
hi his tent. Gen. Scott has him con
fiacd in a special barbed wire stock
ale away from the other prisoners
aad recently Informed him that if an
a tempt was made to rescue him he
would be the first person shot. Today
baJazar sent word to Gen. Scott that
ho feared tho rebels at Juarez would
take advantage of the order and make
a false demonstration from the rail-!
road tracks nearby, probably firing aj
few shots in the air, and before the,
ruse was discovered the guard would
have carried out the instruction with
reference to himself.
'I have no more desire to escape
th in a 10-year-old boy," was the mes- '
aage Salazar sent. Gen. Scott said he!
might enter the post guardhouse if
he wiRhed. Here he would be in a cell,
)\x: safe, and the Mexican may try the
experiment for a week.
?n the camp there are 63 wounded*
federal officers and 187 wounded men j
and 218 federal officers and 3,1801
men who are physically fit. Then j
are 1,259 women and 556 children. Oil
the children 400 are of school age, j
and as soon as possible Gen. Scott will j
inaugurate a school, at which some of]
the educated olflcers will be the in- i
structors. There are four cases o; :
smallpox and this has delayed th.
school period.
The prisoners live in tents, brown
like the whole verdurelcss landscape.
It costs 18 cents a day to feed each;
prisoner, or about $900 for the camp,
whi e the cost of subsistence for an j
American soldier is 23 1-2 cents. Th. ,
prison rations consist of Mexican \
beans, chilli peppers, corn meal, po?
tatoes, onion, bread, fresh meat and j
coffee. A guard today detected one of,
ihe prisoners giving away some of his
coffee to a fellow countryman on the
outs'de. i
Moat of the prisoners are far bet-:
i
ter off than when in the field. They,
are ttouaed and fed regularly and by
dint of much urging the Americans
have trained them to police their'
camp and take proper sanitary pre?
caution* The prison is of about 40 j
acres, surrounded by a barbed wire!
tenet). The sentries do not enter the
amp except for special purposes, but
patrol it on the outside. Visitors are'
kept at a distance from the fence and
the prisoners themselves are kept |
way from it.
In the crowds today were many
Mexicans from El Paso, who brought
gifts of tobacco, cigarettes, bananas,
apples oranges and other delicacies.
Visiting priests today celebrated
mass and there was a concert in the
afternoon by the band of 40 pieces,
! sent by President Huerta to Inspire
ais soldiers at Chihuahua and OJi
naga.
The prisoners are well clothed.
Huerta. recently provided all with
shoes, hose, underwear, hats and
overalls, or dresses. Officers also re
I elve $5 a month and privates $2.
j They are permitted to make purchases
! at the regimental store at the same
r.ces paid by American soldiers.
A special permit not eas ly obtain?
ed is iequired for a visitor to go with?
in the camp. This is due largely to
; tho cases of smallpox. Americans
j who have enjoyed the privilege and
j the guards say the prisoners generally
j are sullen in tho presence of their
' Jailers.
At Vsleta today soldiers discovered
14 rtlleg and 3,000 rounds of ammunl
' tlon hidden away. They probably were
left behind Wednesday night by Mex
. lean recruits who lied across the Iii?
j Grande.
j Rumors reached Gen. Scott that at
, tempts to run more recruits across
j would be made, but details of the
plot wero lacking.
