BIG SEAPLANE
WRECKED
< _
Long Flight to Brazil Ended
by Accident
New York, Aug. 22.?Meager de
tails of the wreck of the seaplane
Sampaio Correia were contained
this morning in a message to the
New York World, from George T.
Bye, one of the passengers. The
hull of the boat beneath the planes
was smashed when Lieutenant
Hinton attempted a landing in the j
water from a height of 100 feet.
The five members of the crew
clung to the half submerged sea
boat for half an hour before they
were picked up by the United
States ship Denver. None of the
members of the party was hurt,
according to Bye's message, with
l the exception of Lieutenant Hin
j ton, who suffered a cut lip.
I The landing was attempted in
jthe dark at 8:20 o'clock and Hin
i ton did not realize how close his
i plane was to the water when he
began descending. The force of |
the impact crushed the boat and
J the plane immediately began to i
j sink. Lieutenant Hinton said he!
I hoped to salvage the big sea boat, |
j repair it, and resume the trip to \
i South America.

jway to Key west, naval officials:

while flying from Nassau to Haiti.
The Candidates.
(Greenwood Index-Journal). j
Candidates for state offices ap- j
peared here yesterday and in the i
words of the old negro, who said |
after hearing Roosevelt speak, j
"recommended themselves power- j
fully." It is one of the unhappy !
1 features of our democracy that we j
! impose upon men, and women now.!
jthis business of going about and!
! proclaiming from ty platform their :
j superior qualifications for office.
About ten per cent of the voters J
of the county heard the speeches. ,
The rest of the voters either
know the candidates already, havH
?ing seen and heard them before or J
have read all about them in the !
' public prints, or else they do not j
? give a whoop one way or the other,
j When it conies to making out their
j ballots, however, each and every
; voter will be found to have pretty,
J strong opinion as to the men he or j
j she wants to vote for. The "word" j
? has gone out or he has secured ?
jthe necessary information before!
going to the election booth.
? For some reason or other it J
' seems to be permitted to newspa-1
j pers in South Carolina to advocate,
'or oppose candidates for governor1
' but if the newspapers go below or j
: beyond that office a great breach of \
l propriety is committed and the j
'newspaper is regarded as a great
! offender?by the other candidates
j affected. \
This newspaper does not know j
i whether it is called upon just at 3
; this time to take advantage of even j
j what is permitted it to say but will
jsay it anyhow. And it this, that
i in its opinion McLeod is the pick
j of the lot for governor.
The Southern Cotton Oil com- ?
i pany ginned Thursday for Jas. P. j
j Meeham the first bale of new cot-!
(ton. The cotton graded middling.!
; and was sold to the American Ex- '
i ports and Imports Corporation for |
125c. It was the product of Earlv
i fving cotton.
In Egypt in Roman times it was i
custom to put on the top of the j

i
I The Southern Power Company and
I Fertilizers.
(Spartanburg Herald).
! The Mountain Island plant of the
Southern Power Company, now be
ing constructed is to be devoted to
gfhe manufacture of fertilizers ac
1 cording to recent announcements,
'and while in Shelby. X. C, a few
j days ago, J. B. Duke, the head of
the Southern Power company, talk
i ed of his plans with the editor of
I the Cleveland Star. His idea is the
i delivery of fertilizer to the farmers
j in concentrated form, taking as his
! profit the freight bill farmer has
' been and is paying on the "filler."
i "Mr. W. S. Lee, one of Mr.
! Duke's right hand men," aceord
I ing to the Gastonia Gazette, "has
I just returned from his third trip
[tip Germany, where he studied fer
I tilizers. The three-million dollar
I power plant which Mr. Duke is
j building at Mt. Holly will manu
facture commercial fertilizer in
I concentrated form, and Mr. Duke
is giving his attention to the
'filler' which is freighted uselessly
about the country, hoping to get
the farmer to stop paying freight
on river sand which has no plant
food value.
"An 8-2-2 sack of fertilizer has
about 24 pounds of plant food. The
other 176 pounds is useless. On the
other hand it is costly because the
freight o nthe sand is high. Mr.
Duke says he would be satisfied
with a profit on his fertilizer equal
to the saving in the freight on the
filler. It may take years for a
farmer to get 3out of the habit of
buying filler; but the concentrated
forms are no doubt cheaper and
more successful."
With the development of the
power resources of the Piedmont
there is no reason why the South
ern Power company should not go
quite as far with the manufacture
of fertilizer in this section as Hen
ry Ford promises to do if allowed
the Muscle Shoals property. It is
the same idea Mr. Duke is working
on.
Owing to the prompt response of
the fire department the home of
Mr. S. K. Xash on- Broad street
was saved from destruction Wed
nesday night. The cause Of the
fire is not known, supposedly
through the chimney. The fire was
located in the attic and no one
was able to enter the attic with
in the house because of the inten
sity of smoke and heat. The. fire de
partmfnt, by tearing sections from
the roof, got to the fire, and af
ter failing to extinguish the fire
with chemicals they had to resort
to water. The alarm was put in
at 11:15, and the firemen fought
diligently until 1 o'clock, when their
end was achieved. Quite a bit of
damage was caused by water.
However the extent of the dam
age has not been ascertained. No
body was hurt and all damage was
covered by insurance.
? ?
True to their motto. "Do it
now." Pritchard, Raines. and
Hazelhurst Co., of Savannah, who
were let the contract for the Shi
loh road, have started prepara
tions. Their plant will be located
on the A. C. L. railroad. Their
trucks are expected to arrive in
Sumter today, having to pick-up
foremen and men in Columbia, to
carry on the work. Machinery,
mixers, etc.. will arrive Monday
by rail, and active-'operations wlil
start sometime before September
7th. The weather permitting, the
work will be complete within five
months.
HOMICIDE IN
ANDERSON
Constable B. H. Holly Killed
A. Beard Evans
-
Anderson. Aug. 21.?A- Beu'di
Evans was shot and killed this af-j
ternoon at his home in the Orr mill I
village by B. H. Holley, magistrate's!
constable, the cause of the killing
being unknown. Holley. who had I
gone to the house to serve a war- \
rant upon Evans on a charge of j
fighting, was held responsible fori
Evans' death by the coroner's
jury. He surrendered to the sheriff
and is now being held in the An
derson jail. I
Holley. according to the testi- j
mony offered at the coroner's in
quest tonight, went to Evans3
home with the warrant at about j
5:30 o'clock this afternoon. Evah?.
according to the testimony of his;
I wife, was in the back yard at the I
! time and Holley was admitted to;
the house. The two men met in the
kitchen of the home and a few I
minutes later. Mrs. Evans said.s&e.j
heard several shots and going to the
kitchen found her husband on the j
floor and heard Holley threaten j
: Evans' life. When the first shots
! were fired, young Evans testified, [
! he rushed to the kitchen door and
was 01 d:red by Holley to with
draw. Holley then fired again at
the wounded man on the floor,
voung Evans said. Mrs. Evans
heard nothing of the conversation
be'T.een her husband and the con
stable, she said, and A. J. Evans
j heard nothing more than the threa?.
. to kill Evans, which, he said, was
made by Holley.
Three shots took effect, one
through the head being responsible
? for death, according to the testi
j mony heard at the inquest. The
i other shots took effect in a leg
j and a thigh. Holley's pistol, ex
amined after the shooting, contain
ed four discharged cartridges. Phy
sicians were called in immediately,
but Evans was dying when medi
cal aid was- secured. He made no
statement.
Grasped in Evans* blood stained
hands was found $40 in bills, which
it is presumed was offered by him
to Holley as bond on the charge
of fighting, for which the constable
came to arrest him.

The Criminal Law and the Courts.
(Spartanburg Herald).
What Governor Harvey is digging
into is the surprising operations of
the criminal law in South Carolina,
that allows hundreds of men con
victed of crime to give notice of
appeal, be granted bond and "lie
happily ever afterwards." Just how
far this thing has gone and to what
extent it is undermining the confi
dence of the people in the courts
of the state it is impossible to esti
mate. But Governor Harvey is evi
dently interested in establishing its
extent and call public attention to
the weakness of the criminal pro
cedure in this state.
? The people have considered an:l
wondered over this sort of thing in
every county in the state, where
there are more or less notorious
cases of this character. Not long
ago the supreme court of the state
called attention to the practice of
frivolous appeals and warned
against it, and now Governor Har?
very is evidently making a etuijy
of the situation with a view to di
recting further consideration of thf*
abuse on the part of the court*-of
the state. - -
