on conditions in Churleston and Co?

The attention of (lov. Manning was
called to an editorial in n recent issue
of the Abbeville Press and Banner
on "Law and order." in "huh this
statement occurred: "Some wee'
ago a negro man was taken in tie
open day from his home in this
county by a party of white men.

goes on to say that this matter has
been cajled to the attention of GOT.
Manning and Robert A. Cooper, so?
licitor of that circuit, and asks what
they are going to do uhout it. refer?
ring to their statements hist summer
in the campaign that they were for
law and order. The paper calls upon
both the governor and solicitor to
prove that they are for law enforce
ment.
c,,.v Manning said the matter re?
ferred to had been called to his :\\ -
ten'ion in a conversation with a citi
ten. n??t I \ in officer. He aaked for
affidavits .?n *hleh tu proceed, bol

Oov Manning said that he had b* Id
a conference w^th Solicitor Cooper
when the Abbeville stm.item was dls>
coas+d. "I believe that Solicitor
? ooger will do his duty.'' said the
governor.
The Instance In which the gov?
ernor has acted on complaints which
have come to him about "blind tigers"
are numerous. In replying to u letter
f.om Sheriff Ackerman of t'olleeton
county In which the sheriff reported
his acmtts in suppressing "blind
tigers." the governor said: "I hope
that you will soon huve this traffic
broken up."
Several sheriffs have mini'' repOTtl
?very few davs us to the results or
their efforts to suppress Illicit whis?
key dealing. In a letter le Sheriff
Thomas of Cherokee counts the go\ -
crnor said "Keep ag POU! work, tin
\erv fact that the sheriff in alive and

Among the most important pro?
visions of this law thut should be
generally known are the following!
The body of no person who dies in
South Carolina can he legally hurled,
cremated, or otherwise disposed of,
Of removed from or Into any registra?
tion district, or held more than 72
hours after death, until a permit for
Initial, removal, or other disposition
thereof shall have been property Is?
sued by the local registrar, or his
deputy.
If a body is brought into the State
let burial, the transit permit which
accompanies the body must be bled
With the rettistrur, who will issue a
buiial permit.
II a person ?lies without medical
attendance the registrar must be no?
tified, and. if there is no suspicion ?I
death hy unlawful means, he has au?
thority to issue a burial Of removal
permit. If there is suspicion attach?
ed t<> the death the coroner will be
notified.
All births must be reported within
10 days after birth. If there is no
phyniclun of midwife in attendance.
Ihi parents, af other responsible per
1 son. shall report the birth to the
reKistrar. In case of a still-birth a
death certificate as well as a birth
certltlacte has to be issued, and a
midwife has no authority to issue a
j death certihcate in these cases. The
still birth must be reported to the lo?
cal registrar as is done In case of
death oecurhng without medical at?
tendance. It is of importance to
name the child in time to include the
nume in the report of birth, but. if
this is not done, the reKistrar will
furnkM a blank for the later report of
the mime.
The law Is very strict, ami for the

Columbia, March 4.?The atten?
tion of D. C. Heyward, collector of
internal revenue, was today called to
a local article in The News and Cou?
rier of Monday regarding income tax
delinquents, There being some slight
errors in the article, the collector
was asked for a Statement covering
the matter, and he issued the follow?
ing:
) . "A return is required of all In?
dividuals having a net income of
OuO or more, and this return should
have been filed in the ohVe of the
collector on or before March 1. and
the ofllce was kept open until mid?
night last Monday night to receive
such returns. It was not proper, as

Deputy Collector r. B. d?mmet, at

be entitled to an exemption of $4,
"UO does not relieve him Of liability
from making p. return if his net in?
come is more than $3,000. The re?
turn should have been made and Ihe
exemption of $4,000 claimed in case
he is a married man.
"The taxes on income from corpor?
ations and individuals are payable
at any time between now and the
30th of June, and taxpayers will bo
notified of the amount due by the of?
fice of ihe collector.

tion as to the time for payment be?

without serving a day in the new con?

The most interesting development

dead. of the w.mmhd Gunner Tol

Donald probably will die.
The dead are. 11. F. Dunwoody, a
prominent attorney; W. M. Hackett,
an undertaker; Ilex Beavers, a police?
man, and W. P. Padgett, a former po?
liceman. Several of the wounded are
prominent citizens of Brunswick.
The police believe that Phillips be?
came suddenly insane because of
financial troubles.
It was at the busiest hour of the
day that Phillips, carrying a shotgun
entered the office of Harry F. Dun
woody, a lawyer, against whom he is
said to have cherished ill feeling, and
killed him. Phillips then shot Albert
M. Way, who was in Dunwoody's of
jtice. Although badly wounded, Way
I probably will recover.
Walking calmly from the office,
! Phillips faced a crowd which had
! been attracted by the firing. Without
I
a word Phillips suddenly began shoot?

pede for shelter followed. R. M.
Beavers, a policeman, was killed when
he attempted to arrest the crazed
man. Phillips continued to fire on
everybody in sight until he was shot
down by E. C. Butts, an attorney,
more than half an hour after Dun
woody had been killed.
NEO ROE'S FIRE DANGEROUS.

Olanta, March 4.?Monday night at
the lumber camps about one mile
south of Olanta, George Xesbit shot
a negro woman through the abdomen
with a pistol, and it is thought she
will not recover. A few minutes later
Ed Wright passed several negroes who
w ere grouped around a camp fire, and
after telling *hem to look out shot
into them wit i shotgun. While none
of them was seriously hurt, several of
them were hit by shot in the faces,
legs, hats and very much frightened.
The two negroes. Nesbit and Wright,
then ran away and have not been
heard of since.
There was apparently no immediate
cause for the shooting. It was no?
ticed that these two negroes were
much together for two or three days
before the shooting, and it appears
now that they had planned to do mis?
chief and leave immediately after pay
day.

that morphine had to be given me.

felt much relieved. While taking the

Washington, March 4.?Many fea
turee of the elaborate exercises
planned for the formal opening of the
Panama canal in July were abandoned
as a result of the aetiOM of congress
In refusing to make the appropriation
for the purpose asked for by Secre?
tary Garrison.
The appropriation requested was to
del ray the expense of a trip to the
canal of President Wilson, members
I of congress, members of the diplo?
matic corps, representatives from for?
eign governments and o:her special
guests, including Former Presidents
! Roosevelt and Taft. It was intimated
tonight that the president himself
would not go to the formal opening,
but it is possible he may change his
present plans. The navy department
has an appropriation for sending the
fleet to the canal, and it was said some
kind of exercises probably would be
held.
All of the president's plans for the
'spring and summer months were said

Effort to Prevent Foot and Mouth
Disease.
Columbia, March 5.?Gov. Manning
yesterday called upon the State
veterinarian at Clemson college to use
every effort to prevent the shipment
of cattle affected with the foot and
mouth disease into South Carolina.
The matter was brought to the at?
tention of the governor by A. H.
Miller of Greer.
Following letter was received from
Mr. Miller:
"As a breeder of cattle I appeal to
you to take some steps to prevent
railroads shipping cattle or horses
into this State until the foot and
mouth disease is stamped out. It is
now In Virginia and if allowed to en?
ter South Carolina the loss will be
appalling."
Gov. Manning replied as follows.
"I beg to acknowledge your wire of
this d;ite. I thank you for calling
this matter to my attention and will
immediately go about getting control
of this situation. If you have any
data or can give any suggestions 1
would be glad to have them.*'
