AT Judge Clarke, of the Federal court,
sitting at Nashville, has just decided a
curious case in favor Of N. N. Gonche-
nour, a Democratic county chairman,
who was accused of trying to defraud
the government. Gouchenour needed
funds with which to pay campaign ex-
penses. He proposed to a number Of
fourth-class postmasters that if they
would contribute $40 each, he would
mail at their offices enough matter to
more than make good the sum. Fourth
class postmasters receive for their pay
their entire cancellation up to a GER
tain sum and percentages Of the bal
ance. Under the proposed arrange
ment it was possible for them to make
the subscriptions asked for without
having to pay out any actual cash.
Gouchenour GenG:red to the indict-
ments on the ground that he had a
right to mail matter on which postage
had been paid and the judge sustained
the demurrer. The case has been ap-
pealed to the United States court of
appeals.

Beat His Son to Death.
Sumter special to The News and
Courier: One Of the most brutal and in
explicable crimes ever committed In
this county was reported to the sheriff
late Saturday evening. Nelson Shaw
a Negro, who runs a small country
store, near Scarborough's Mill, four
miles from this city, whipped Nathan
lei Williams, a Negro boy, II years old
to death Saturday morning, for steal
ing a can of sardines. The boy was
the child Of woman living with Shaw
and the boy himself had been required
to work in the store. The coroner held
an inquest yesterday and the testimony
Of numerous witnesses showed conclu-
sively that Shaw had whipped the boy
for hours in a most brutal and inhu-
man manner. The body of the boy
was itself a most horrible testimony of
the brutality of Shaw. It was a mass
Of bruised and lacerated flesh from
head to heels, and more than two hun
dred bleeding whip marks being count
ed on it. Shaw has confessed that he
beat the boy and the proof is positive
that the boy was killed by him. Shaw
Is in Jail, but has employed the best
legal talent to defend him and 1t is re-
ported that he will be released on bond.
He has a thousand or more dollars
worth Of property and will spend it all
to save his neck. The Negroes living in
the neighborhood in which the crime
was committed, were very much work.

deemed advisable to keep Shaw in Jail

Outlook Club last week was treat
ed to an excellent paper by Miss
Slocum, who discussed the question;
''What can we do toward village i'm
provement?" She said that the aim
of the Outlook Club should be to
''look out for the best interests of the
town. Everything that would help
make this an ideal city should be en-
couraged.
She suggested Improvement along
three lines.
Material The extension and re-
pairing of side walks, obtaining water
works, establishing of parks, planting
of trees, shrubs, etc., in streets and
yards.
Intellectual = Encouragement of
schools, libraries, clubs, and elevat-
ing public entertainments.
Enforcement Of present
laws and enactment of new ones nee
essary for the protection of the
youth of our city The subject was
handled in most instructive and
suggestive manner. The discussion
which followed was generally partici-
pated in by the ladies present. The
parliamentary drill conducted by Mrs
Feltham was very instructive. She

Railroad Company and Hornet Creek
Farmers Can't Agree.
Judge Stewart Names VIM. Allison, Frank
Potter and Nose Neal.

The Pacific and Idaho Northern
Railway Company and the Hornet
Creek ranchers, through whose land
the railroad runs, have ceased try
ing to get together on the question
of right of way damages. The COM
pany, by it's attorney, Judge Rich
ards, Monday asked the district court
to appoint appraisers to pass on the
damages. Attorneys Rhea & Lovejoy,
of this city, and L. L. Burtenshaw,
of Council, represent the defend
ants. The latter are Preston D. An
derson, Kelsey Lindsay, James NJ.
Ross, Joseph L. Eaton, 7. J. Strust-
man, H, E. Warner, b W. Wilson,
M. B. Lane, VIM Brauer, James A.
Lakey, and Erasmus Hansen. They
own the land along Holnet creek for
distance of fourteen miles, and
claim that the valley is but one half
mile wide, the land all cultivated
and valuable and that the damages
offered are inadequate. Also that
the creek is winding one and the
railroad company has thrown up en-
bankments and caused the stream to
run IN more direct route, thus de-
nying the farmers the use of the
creeks as they had before. The com
pany alleges willingness to pay
fair price for the right of way, but
consider the damages asked as ex-
orbitant.
The court today, named the follow
ing appraisers of damages. VIM.
Allison, of Salubria, Frank Potter,
of Crane Creek, and Nose Neal, of
Salubria. They must meet within
five days, go over the proposed right
Of way, and assess the damages, which
will allow the railroad company tc
proceed with their construction
work, although the proposed ap
praisement of damages will not bt
final unless the settlers see fit to ac
cept it. The principal effect of thi'
action is that the railroad can nov
proceed with its work.

in huge ricks at Council awaiting
shipment to the big smeIter now be-
ing ere cted ten miles above Weiser.
Work on this smelter is progress
ing with all possible speed. The
frame is now up and it is hoped to
have it in operation within month.
Mr. Jacobs say that between two
and three hundred men are at work
in that portion OF the Seven Devils
visited by HIM. This, of course,
does not include those engaged in
freighling. All the mines are look
ing fine and the branch railroad from
Council into the mining district is
being pushed as rapidly as possible.

Sol would occasionally flag them with

try under favorable conditions than
is the lot of many more ambitious

The building will be of brick, "a

will be arranged to accommodate q
