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. ! Airplane Crew Taken to Key West j New York. Aug. 23.?United j j States cruiser Denver, which res i cued Lieut. Walter Hinton and j 'companions from the wrecked sea I plane Sampaio Correia, is on the j jway to Key west, naval officials: said today. The seaplane fell j 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 coli in a model of the head of the I person who was buried in it. The Charlotte Observer A Carolina Newspaper For Carolina People ?

(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. j Winthrop Daughters Entertain. j With Miss Emily Smith of Dal i zell as their guest of honor the j Winthrop Daughters entertained at a most delightful shower Wed nesday afternoon at the Baptist community house on East Liberty j street.

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. - - There is an effort being mady present an amateur theatrical ? production for the benefit; of; the Sumter High School Athletic "As sociation.
