The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1902-02-05

Congressman Finley is asking con-
gress for an appropriation Of Sis, 600
with which to make survey and car
re- out certain Improvements on the
Great Pee-Dee river to Cheraw, and
on the Wateree to Camden. He had
the desired appropriation in the last
river and harbor bill that was killed
during the closing hours of the last
session of the ate.-Yorkville En-
quirer.
Pittspurg, Jan. 3l.-Edward Biddle
in iail, dying, John Biddle, riddled
with buckshot and in precarious
condition, and Mrs. Peter e. Soffel
living in the hospital with self-in-
ficted bullet wound in the breast is
the sequel of the sensational escape Of
the Biddle brothers from the Allegheny
county jail, aided by Mrs. Soffel, the
wife of the Jail warden, on Thursday
morning.
It took roundabout route to get
this item, but here it is and for what
it is worth: Two popular society
women engaged in a scrap over piece
of lace at a bargain sale in Greenville,
S. c., the other day. One slapped the
others face, then the trouble began.
They were finally separated. but not
until considerable damage was done
on both sides. The affair has caused
a great sensation in Green~ille on .ac-
count of the high socia position of
the two ladies. Augusta Chronicle.

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Columbia, Feb 5. Yesterday the
governor offered a reward of $1,000
for the capture and conviction Of Barlow
Warren, tee man who on August 26
last killed Thomas II. Watson at
Brancnville and has since been at
large. This new reward takes the
place of the original reward offered.
The governor has not stated his
reasons for increasing the reward SO
materially, but he says be has good
reasons for doing so.
Barlow Warren is the man who was
tried for the single-handed hold.up
OF the Southern railway train at
Branchville few years ago, at which
time 81, TOO vas secured from the ex-
press car by the robber. He was out
on bond in this matter when he met
Watson who was one of the principal
witnesses against him and killed him
on the streets of Bfancbviile.

AIKEN ADJUSTMENTS.

We see from the papers that ten
thousand pigeons have been shipped to
Aiken, S. c., to furnish targets for
the members Of the Aiken Gun Club.
It seems a terrible commentary on the
rich and idle that those who have the
money and the opportunity to enjoy
themselves, and to leave the, cold and
discomfort Of the North for the beau
ties of snch spot as Aiken, should
not be able to occupy themselves in
any more humane way than by such
wholesale butchery. For those scions
of millionaires who wish to spend
their winters in playing polo at Aiken,
and their summers in pursuing sbe
same glorious game at Newport, we
have nothing to say. They, at least,
are taking manly exercise, and they,
perhaps. understand their limitations
better than we do, but we cannot see
suchssports as pigeon butchery intro
'duced into the South without raising
our earnest protest against it. We do
not believe that South Carolina will
be behind New York in humanity, and
what has been outlawed in other states
should not be allowed to find resting
place in State with such a history
and record as South Carolina.-Rich-
mond Times.

REDUCTION OF WaR IlxEs.
Ways and aEeans. Committee Re-
Dorts the Bill. to the House.

Washington, February 3.-Fhe ways
and means committee of the House.
bysa unanimous vote today, ordered
a favorable report on the war tax re-
duction bill. A surprise occurred
when Representative Babcock, Repub-
lican member, offered his bill, largely
reducing duties on the steel schedule
and placing some articles on the free
list, as an amendment to the tax repeal
section, The amendment was defeat
ed--6 to 7-Msssrs. Babcock and Taw-
new and all the Democrats voting in
The Affirmative.
The Cuban reciprocity question also
came up Unexpectedly, Representative
Steel of Indiana, moving. % per
cent concession on Cuban sugar. The
motion was withdrawn, however, after
a brief exchange of comment.
The closeness of the vote on Mr.
Babcock,s amendment, reducing the
steel schedule, caused much comment.
Messrs. Ne#lands and Cooper, Demo
crats, and Long and Hopkins, Repnb-
licans, were absent. It was explained
on .behalssof the absent members that
they were either out of the city or
detained at important meetings else
where, and that the. Babcoek motion
massentirely itutionaI.
The motion oflM. Steele esfor % per
cent reduction on Cuban sugar was
regarded as rather faeetious and as
raioinder2to the unexpected motion on
me steel schedule Repseseasasive
Bosbgrtson, of Louisiana, who IS op-
posed te a reduction on Cuban sugar,
Was among those who voted for the
Babcock ameRmeast
The bill was reported to tie ssHouss.

Frank Player Pardoned.

Columbia, Feb. 5.-Gov. McSwee-
ney yesterday granted a pardon in the
case of Frank NJ. Player, the former
dispenser OF Kingstree, who was con-
victed of breach of trust with fraudu-
lent intent in Williamsburg county in
March, 1901, and was sentenced to
three years and one month in the
State prison.
The application has been under con
sideration for some time. Senator
Williams has recently been urging ac-
ton. He said yesterday that he did
not believe that Player had received
one cent of the dispensary money he
was charged with taking.
Solicitor Wilson said: Believing
that the ends of justice have been fully
met in the punishment already under
gone by Player, and further on account
of the helpless condition of his large
family and his own advanced age and
former good reputation, l most earn
estly and respectfully recommend his
immediate pardon. Player is nearly 60
years old.
Petitions signed by nearly every
body in that section of the State were
presented.
There was a strong letter also from
Hon. Joel E. Brunson, the noted pro-
hibition advocate. The State board
of directors of the dispensagy also ask
ed it. Judge Watts declares in let
ter that he was in error in recommend
ing that the governor refuse the par
don, and says he wishes to Withdraw
all opposition and leave the case with
out recommendation.

bill in Congress several years ago, ap-
propriating a sufficient sum for the
erection of:.a monument to Gen. Sum
ter, but it never became Law. Moth
ing need be said Of Gen. Sumter's
services to the country during the
Revelation and TO this State in sue
ceeding years up to the time of his
death. IF any Revolutionary soldier
and patriot is worthy of monument,
he is, but 40 stone has ever been reas-
ed to his memory, while hundreds Of
other men whose services were not SO
great bare bad costly monuments
erected to their memory By the U. S.
Congress. Congressman Lever can
not do more popular thing than to
revive the Stokes bill and use his best
efforts to, secure. an appropriation for
the Sumter mohument.

If any effort is so be made this year
TO beautify the Court House, work
should begin pretty soon. Supervisor
Scale is ready to do bis part, and if
there was such thing in Sumter as
Village Improvement Society" it
would be easy to convert the now
desolate and forlorn looking square
into a pretty little park. We are con-
fdent that those who have gardens
would gladly donate all tie plants and
flowers needed for the square.
