4 DEsPERADc'S DEADLY WORK
Two Members of a Sheriff's Posse
killed and Seven Wounded.

In desperate battle, fought near
Tuscumbia, Ala, Sunday between a
sheriff's posse and viii Reynolds, a
negro desperate, two members Of the
posse were killed and seven wounded
by the deadly fusillade Of the negro,
who afterWard was killed and his body
thrown in burning building. Early
Sunday accompanied by Will CASA
way, a deputy sheriff went to negro
settlement ''Knardtown," to arrest
Will Reynolds, on charge Of obtain
ing goods under false pretenseS. The
negro was barricaded in a house and
opened fire with Winchester, NOR
tally wounding Sheriff Gassaway and
Will Gassaway, who was some 300
yards away.
AS soon as tllv news Of the encour-
ter reached Tuscumbia, posse left
for the scene. Owing to the location
none of the officers could venture
within the open space. Dynamite
was procured and the house IN which
the negro had fortified himself was
fired upon but to no effect. at l
o'clock Capt. Simpson Of the Wheeler
Rifles arrived with - guns and 1000
cartridges which were distributed
among - picked men. This company
was stationed around the house and
riddled it. but the negro had taken
refuge in the cellar and returned the
fire, killing Jones and Woundlng
Finney. Coal oil vas then procured
and after four hours Of hard work the
adjoining houses to that in which
the negro was were fired. At So'clock
the house in which the negro
was located was fired by the Wheeler
Rifles, who had arrived on the scene:
The negro fled to shed and reopened
fire, killing Wallace and Wounding
Davis but fell in the next yolley from
the posse and militiamen. The crowd,
numbering 1000, seized the riddled
body and threw it in the burning
building.
Wallace was killed while advancing
on the negro, who shot him through
the body. His body fell in the burn
ing debris, but was recovered. Davis,
Wallace and Falkner were the men
who fired the building. Relic seekers
badly mutilated the body. Three
houses were burned in the efforts TO
reach the negro and several horses
were killed in the battle.
Tonight it is reported that the
sheriff and his brother have no chance
to live. So deadly was thenegro's aim
that it was possibly an hour before
the body of Prout could be recovered.
Not shot was fired by Reynolds that
did not tell when those whom he was
firing on could be seen. The excite
ment all day was intense. Fully 2,OOO
people from Florence and Sheffield
were here and every surgeon IN
Tuscumbia, was pressed into service.

SWORD OF HONOR
Presented to Major Micah Jenkins by
President Roosevelt.

President fOOSeTelJ.
Immediately after the conclusion Of
the presidents speech at the auditor
ium President Wagner presented thai
distinguished South Carolinian, ex
Gov. Hugh S. Thompson, who a.
Spokesman for the State sword func
committee delivered the sword into the
hands of President Roosevelt. whOwa;
to present it to Maj. jenkins. Gov
Thompson was associated with Presi
dent Roosevelt on the United States
civil service commission for years anC
it was very appropriate for him tt
place the sword in the hands Of his
former co-worker. Gov. Thompson
made an eloquent and very appro-
pirate speech which was received with
wild enthusiasm. At the conclusion
of his speech ex-Gov. Thompson said:
Permit me, Mr.. President. to hand
YOU this sabre with the request that
you present it to Major Jenkins.
President Roosevelt, who remained
standing during the speech, advanced
with a bright smile on his kindly face
and taking the beautiful blade in his
hand, he called upon Maj. Jenkins.
There was another scene Of enthusiasm
and the president in words ringing in
their sincerity, placed the sword in the
hands of his former comrade. Presi-
dent Roosevelt said:
Mai. jenkins: Nothing could give
me greater pleasure than to hand to
YOU. my old friend and comrade. whose
courage I saw tried again and again,
and whose courage was Of temper
that made it a matter of indifference
what the trial was. l am glad to do
this as the guest Of South Carolina. |
am glad to do it as president OF the
United States, but I am gladder still
to do it as your old friend and COM
rade."
Then running forward, the president
grasped Maj. Jenkins by the hand,
shaking it violently, and with his left
hand handed him the sowrd. Then
stepping back, President Roosevelt,
swinging his arm above his head,
yelled: ''Three cheers for Micah
Jenkins" and led in the yell that made
the great building tremble.
Maj. Jenkins, who is slender, SOL
diery man, who may yet be called
young, was smiling modestly as he was
being a6 :essed by the president. He
was dressed in the uniform Of a major
in the volunteer cavalry Of the United
States army and handled the sword as
if he had been accustomed to using a
sabre. Maj. Jenkins, as is well known,
is a son of the late Gen. Micah Jenkins,
G. S. A., who was killed in battle. He
was born in Orangeburg and lived in
Yorkville during his boyhood days.
He graduated from West Point and is
now recommended for retirement from
the United States army as captain.
His appearance was the scene OF anoth-
er burst Of applause. although he mod
cStly held back from q too prominent
place on the stage. In accepting the
blade Major Jenkins made d timely
and patriotic little speech in keeping
with the occasion.

A Doctors Responsibility.

A somewhat remarkable case has
been tried recently by an English court
in the city Of London. 1t involved
the responsibility Of a physician for
habits which had been acquired by a
patient as a consequence Of his treat
ment. The plaintiff was a Miss For
sythe, professional nurse, who had
undergone a long course of treatment
by Dr.. w. T. Low, q prominent Lon
don doctor. The woman suffered from
an acute form of asthma, and the doc
tor resorted to morphine to relieve her
during her spasmodic attacks.
Miss Forsythe at length took her
case out of DR.. Lows hands and en-
ployed another physician, who
Immediately stopped the use Of NOR
phine and cured the habit Miss For
sythe had acquired. She then sued DR..
Low for damages. The case was fought
with great vigor on both sides, and at
tracted much attention in medical
circles. \ number Of prominent ply
sicians testified that the remedies
employed by DR.. Low were proper
ones, and that he had used them
reasonably. The court not only order
ed verdict for the defense, but de-
clared that the suit should never have
been brought, holding that the doctor
could not be held responsible for the
excessive and habitual use OfmOrphine
by his patient.
One of the most interesting points
brought out by the experts for tie de-
Tense was as to the difficulty of curing
the morphine habit. Most Of them
testified their belief that it is i'm
possible to exercise control over victims
of the morphine habit when they are
left where they can obtain that drug.
The evidence also brought out con-
sensus OF opinion that this habit IS
| increasing at terrible rate. very
| few Of the witnesses expressed any nope
that it will be checked. The number
and variety of drugs used to ease pain
or induce gratifying sensation was
shown to have increased great y in re-
cent years. The most popular are
morphine, Strychnine, atrophlne,
chloral. bromides, opium. laudanum
and ether.
There is a strong demand in Eng
land for closer legal restrictions Of the
sale OF these dangerous drugs, but it IS
admitted that the subject presents
difficulties that will be very difficult to
overcome to any considerable extent.
The Atlanta Journal, from which
paper we get the above facts. says IN
this country the drug habit is growing
RAPIDLY and makes hosts OF Victims
every year. There is no doubt OF this,
and some means should be found to
stop the terrible curse. We believe
that a great many people contract the
drug habit from lack OF knowledge
of of the danger OF its use. In other
words. we believe that if people gen
orally knew more about the insidiouS
character of these drugs they would
guard against acquiring the habit OF
using them.

One of His Fighters.

While the train with President
Roosevelt and party was in the Union
Depot at Columbia Thursday evening
a young man in the crowd walked up
to the end of the car, where the Presi-
dent was standing, with a genial
'howdyedo, colonel" and the President
at once recognized him as one of the
members Of a troop in his regiment
of Rough Riders. None could mis-
take the genuinenesS of his hearty,
"Old fellow, I'm real glad to see you"
This young man was Mr.. A. N.
Tohmas, who joined the Rough Riders
in Oklahoma, and is now a clerk in
the Atlantic Coast Line office il Co

VIII Absorb Both.

The Chicago Record-Herald says.
Upon the authority of large stock
holder in the plant system it is stated
that the Pennsylvania interests will
soon acquire possession of the allied
Plant and the Atlantic Coast Line
systems. In this fact, it is alleged, Is
to be found the reason for the pur-
chase by the Atlanta Coast Line Of
the Plant System, which has surpris-
ed the railroad world. Should the
Pennsylvania secure the two systems
thev will add a total of 1910 miles of
line, bringing the total to 10000 miles
under one control"

A Gruesone Find.

Wednesday at about 2 o'clock some
negro fishermen who were fishing on
Long Cane creek about 5 miles from
Abbeyille made a gruesome find. 1t
was the body of a negro man with his
throat cut from ear to ear. The
wound appeared as if it had been done
with an axe. The body had evidently
been in the water for several days, as
the skin was coming off the body
where exposed. The body is supposed
to be that of Morgan Belcher, who
disappeared two weeks ago. There is
no clue so far as to the perpetration OF
the deed.
