MURDERED By POACHERS.
A Tragedy, the Circumstances of which are
New to American Experience.

CALAIS, Me-, August 20.-The fish
ing grounds on Tobique River, near
Andover, was the scene of a murder
on sunday morning. On Saturday
several men supposed to belong to the
vicinity were found fishing on grounds
owned by private persons, Que OF whom
is Major Howe, Of Philadelphia, for
merlY Of Boston, who, about a month
ago started with his family Ona salmon
fishing trip to the head waters of Tobi-
que River. The major ordered the tres
passers OFT the ground, and after some
angry words, his orders We're suilenly
obtyed Major Howe calnped that
night at Galquac.
On sunday morning Major Howe,
his wife, four children and three Indian
guides were enjoying 4 sail on the river
near that place, when they were fired
upon 10y parties in ambush on shore.
The first shots passed over without
injury. Major Howe ut once directed
his wife and children To lie down in the
boat, but before his directions could be
0Ecyvd Il bullet entered Mrs. HOWe's )
left temple and came out back Of the
right ear. She dropped without a
sound. and Major Howe did not know
that she was dead till after the firing
ceased. About ten shots We're fired.
Major Howe and his children reached
Andovcr last night with the body OF
the murdered woman. All were com.
pletely Frustrated with grief. Major
Howe had casket sent from Wood
stock last night, and the body was EN-
balmed and sent West tonight. The
murder was, no ldoubt, committed by
poachers in revenge, and William Day

We see where it is possible for five men
to get 1850 votes, but we do not see
where it is necessary. If there are 1890
votes cast and one should receive only

are only two others who have received
more than that number According to
the rules of the primary if all five re-
ceive more than majority the three

CLEMSON COLI FGE.
Sun.est;ons Growing Out OF Col. keitt' Z
Letter-What tie State did i'll the
Mason Lee Case.
News and Courier.

The letter of Col. Ellison :. keitt in
vour issue of the 18th brings out some
new views i'll reference TO Clemson
College. 1t especially suggests lnJus-
tice in diverting the property from Its
aarura! channel, and the State taking
the property belonging to another and
applvin@ it TO her own Use without
compensation.
This recalls to mind the case OF the
heirs of Mason Lee vs.. the Executor Of
Mason Lee, 50 often cited by lawyers
in contested will cases; t McCord,
p. lS3.
Mason Lee, of Marlborough District,
an unmarried man, having y strange
belief in witches, devils and evil spirits,
and full Of cranky notions, the least Of
which perhaps was the belief that all
his relatives wished him dead to get
his property, devised and beGueathcd
the whole of his estate, valued 1T
$5O, 900, to the States of South Carolina
and Tennessee, because be thought
those states were strong enough to con-
test the claims Of his relatives and sus-
tain his will. He provided liberal
compensation for his executors, and the
best lawyers in Charleston We're to be
employed to defend the will against
the claims of his relatives. The will
was sustained by the Courts, and after
its validity was established the State Of
South Carolina at the next session of
the Legislature, December, 1925, gave
to the heirs at law Of Mason Lee all her
interest in said estate. She gave the
property to the persons who above all
others the testator desired should not
have it. Stat. at Large, vol. 6, p. 3S9.
Some Of our earnest advocates of
Clemson College have already dis
counted the additional $4,000 which
will be gained by Miss Lee contesting
the will Of Col. Clemson, but it is
possible that the precedent of the Act
of 1929 would allow her at least this
much of her patrimony.
Many of Us dissent from some of the
views of Col. Keitt, and are in favor of
Clemson College, of separate agrlcul-
tural college, believing that the present
arrangement will be a cource Of bitter
contention and division among our
people as long as it exists. The estab-
Iishment of one, and its possible failure,
might prove lesser evil than perpetual
discord. 3.

ATLANTA, GA, August 2O.-This

stranger, "but people tell ne that l

Thoroughly interested by this time,
Col. Abbott requested his visitor to take
chair, and in the course of half an
hour, drew from him a detailed story
of his life. In 1874, when he was about
four years old, the youngster was found
wandering about in Southwest Georgia.
He was picked up and duly cared for,
but when he was found he had under
gone so many hardships that he was
unable to give his name or to tell
whence he came. His age corresponds

Arrested Near Charlotte.

Especial 70 the News and Courier
CHARLOTTE. y. c., August IS
Yesterday evening gang OF negroes
numbering nearly one hundred, passed
through this city, some in cal IS and
wagons, others on foot. They said they
were from South Carolina and We're
going to Winston TO work on the new
railroad there. IN their wagons and
carts was plumber Of various dlscrlp-
tions. The negroes presented 4 very
savage appearance. They looked like
desperate characters, however, but
little notice WAS taken of them, al
though they tarried about one hour.
Many imbibcd freely Of corn whiskey.
Excitement ran 70 its highest pitch
this morning when the news was
brought here that the negroes last
night had boldly entered gardens and
watermelon patches and taken any
thing they wantcd, and also that they
had robbed numbers Of chicken rocstS,
insuitcG all the white residents on the
road, and We're openly defylng the
authorities of the law. They had opened
fire Oh some whites, but fortunately 10
one was killed. The people along their
route became considerably alarmed.
Appeals were made TO the sheriff, who
at once ordered out the military conf
pany, sending the chief Of police and
others mounted in pursuit. 1t was
learned that the gang had gone up the
Statesville road. 4 special train was
secured, which pulled out from the
depot at II .35 \. NJ, having on board
thirty-eight members ofthe Hornets
Nest Ritlemen, Sheriff Cooper and a
reporter for the Southern News Bureau.
The chief of policies mounted posse
being overtaken, boarded the train,
when again the throttle WAS thrown
open.
At Davidson College it was learned
that the gang was only few minutes
ahead. Window-blinds were closed as
the train moved on. Soon the gang
was seen, but the train went whiZzing
by. Stopping after passing the crowd,
the military marched out. Some went
into the woods, others marched for
ward to meet the gang. When the
sheriff hurried upon them and gave the
signal calling for unconditional surren-
der, the military came from the woods,
while all marched up showing the gang
| that they were surrounded by rifles. A
veil of defiance was made by the gang,
but they surrendered without further
resistance. Twenty-four were taken,
brought here and placed in Jail for a
hearing OH Monday morning. The
! others went on.
