A Sad Affair.

One of the saddest accidents
ever recorded in Codington
county took place on Sunday
afternoon about ten miles west
of South Shore when Sylvia and
Blanch Lamphy, the thirteen
and eleven years old daughters
of E. l. Lamphy, a prominent
farmer of Dexter township, met
an untimely death dy being
drowned in the Big Sioux river.
The particulars of the sad affair
are about as follows: Soon after
dinner the girls took the family
horse and drove to. the home of
a neighbor, some three miles
distant, to spend the afternoon
being enjoined by their parents
to return home before dark. AS
the evening wore on apd the
children did not return Mr..
Lamphy became anxious and
drove over to Mr.. Mitchell's
where the children had went and
learned that they had started for
home at four o'clock but had
taken different road from the
one usually traversed. Taking
the road Mr.. Lamphy soon reach
ed the Sioux river and found the
buggy overturned in the stream,
which at this point is about four
feet deep, and under it the life
less form of one of his daughters.
The other girl was found further
down the river, and as both had
been in the water for a consider
able time there was no chance of
resuscitating them. The horse
had gotten loose from the buggy
and was found alive and well
nearby.
It is not known just how the
accident happened, as no one
saw it, but it is supposed that
the horse either ran away or the
girls tried to ford the river at
the wrong place and in turning
back turned too short and upset
the buggy.
The parents are well nigh
crazed over the loss of their
loved ones, their only girls, and
the blow is indeed bitter one.
The funeral took place Wednes-
day South Shore Republican.

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
Treasurer Parks Statement to GOV.
Gambler Made Public.

Atlanta, May S.-The Treasury state
ment made to the Governor by Treas
urer Park and Comptroller General
Wright, was made public to-day. The
statement covers the receipts and dis
bursements for the first quarter of the
year, and shows that there was a
balance on hand in the treasury on
March 31st.. of S2.122.1e. This, how
ever, includes about $114,00O remaining
of the public property fund, expenses
Of the civil establishment for the re-
naming three quarters of the year.
July interest on the bonded debt and
about 10000 extraordinary eXpendi-
lures for the State Lunatic Asylum
AS a matter of fact therefore the net
balance is only about $174,O00 and as
the payments to the teachers for one
month amount to more than $500, 900
the governor will have to borrow about
$4,000 if he intends to make them
another payment at this time. 1t is
believed that he will do so though he
declines to make any statement with
regard to the matter at present.

AGAINST PLANT SYSTEM.
Jesup short Line Must BE Return

Real Estate at Brunswick and New
Jesup short Line Must BE Return
ed for Taxation.
Atlanta, May Sin an opinion rem
dered to-day Attorney General Boykin
Wright sustains the contentious of
Controller General w. A. Wright with
reference to two important points con-
nected with the Plant Systems tax re-
turns. The railroad refused to return
for taxation certain real estate and
buildings thereon at Brunswick, valued
at $4,000, because it states the prop
erty belongs to the city of Brunswick
and is simply under lease to the road.
1t developed that the lease was an
indefinite one and the controller general
held that the road should pay taxes on
the property The road also objected
between Jesup and Folkston, because
it is not yet in use. This line. So miles
long, the controller general held should
be returned the same as the other prop
erty whether it is in use or not. He
thinks the return should be the sMme
as for the other main line, $4,000 a
mile, or a total of about $780, 900. In
both these contentious the attorney
general sustains the controller general
throughout, and Capt. Wright will in
sist on the returns being made accord
ingly.

Amelia Beach, which is considered by
many to be the finest on the Atlantic

Heur-Au interesting session Ut
MfIIedgeNille.
Milledgeville, Ga. May S.-The w.
c. T. u. convention at the Baptist
Church held what was probably its
busiest session to-day. Mrs. Sibley.
president of the organization. in a
magnifcently entertaining address,
outlined the policies and work of the
organzati ton for the next year and
begged the various organizations of
the state to give especial attention to
the new requirements of public school
teachers to instruct as a department
of science the effect of alcohol upon
the human system. This law, she said,
she considered the greatest victory Of
the w. c. T. L. in a number of years,
since such instruction would, if thor
ough and conservative, eventually be
the strongest influence to instill into
the young youth of the country de-
sire to abstain from strong drink.
During the morning session officers
were elected for the ensuing years as
follows: Mrs. Jennie Hart Sibley,
president: corresponding secretary,
Mrs Harris of Sandersville; recording
secretary, Mrs. T. e. Patterson of
Griffin; treasurer, Mrs. J. S. Moore of
Oxford; state superintendent of Loyal
Legion work, Mrs. l.. c. Rogers of
Milledgeville.
The date of the convention was
changed from May to October and will
meet by special and urgent request at
Thompson. Invitations for the next
convention were received from Griffin,
Washington and Savannah.
At the Y. NJ. c. A. here to-day at
noon the ladies of the Presbyterian
church served the members of the con-
vention and a few other specially in
vited guests with an elegant dinner.
The tables were spread in the gym
nasium hall and seated more than six
ty. This dinner was one of the most
thoroughly enjoyable events Of the
week. After dinner the reception
rooms of the hall were thrown open
and the townspeople met the visiting
ladies in d general reception.
Tonight was held the Demorest gold
medal contest Much interest was
centered in this contest, there berg

PosToFFICE BURGLARIzED.

Safe Blown Open and Money stolen
at Thomson.
Thomson, Ca, May S.-Last night
the safe in the postoffice was blown
open, and $122.54, together with a
pocket book containing a small sum,
was stolen. The burglars appear to
have been two in number and were
evidently professionals. 1t appears
that nitro-glycerine was used TO open
the safe.
Shortly after 10 o'clock last night,
Night marshil C. K. Scott heard an
eXNlosion similar to that made bv
firing a gun. He ran down Main street
to see what was the matter. The post
Office is situated on Main street next
to the Georgia Railroad. AS Marshal
Scott ran he was fired on by one of
the burglars who was standing outside
the postotfice building. Mr.. Thomas
B. Hamilton was also fired
upon. When Messrs. Scott and Ham
ilton reached the postoffice a hurried
examination was made, and it was
found that it had been entered by the
back door and robbed.
Mrs. Ira e. Farmer, the postma ster,
was at once notified, and she hurried
down to the building. The door of the
safe had been blown open, and draw
ers containing the amount previously
stated, had been taken out. About
81 was found on the floor which the
burglars had left in their flight. They
are supposed to have gone up the
Georgia Railroad, in the direction of

A South Carolina Private Confirms
Stories of Atrocities in Philip


Stories of Atrocities in Philip
pines.
Columbia, S. c., May S.-Private
Adam Loskoshie of the Nineteenth In
fantry, who has served in the Philip
pines for the past three years, has been
spending a few days with relatives at
Anderson.
Mr.. LoskOskie in an interview to-
day fully corroborates the stories that
have been printed in the newspapers
about the cruelties practiced upon the
natives by the American soldiers.
Some of the atrocities the soldiers have
been guilty Of are, he says, almost be-
yOnd believing. He witnessed the FAM
out water cure administered several
times, and on one occasion he saw fif-
teen natives hanged because they
would not give information regarding
the insurgents. He said it was not the
wish of the soldiers to do these things,
but that they were ordered to do them
by the officers.
Mr.. Loskoskie said that the orders
given by the officers We're often dis
tasteful to the enlisted men, and that
much dissatisfaction prevailed in the
ranks.
