ported from Athens. M. Lazare Ly-
rites. Greek sculptor, was quietly
talking to his wife, when suddenly he
became greatly excited and began ut
tering incomprehensible phrases.
When his excitement had subsidized
somewhat he told his wife that he
had heard voice saying that his
brothers wife was dead. The sculp-
tor and his wife noted the date and
hour of this strange occurrence.-and

w. L.. Croft, q white man about 55
years old, who resided in Fairfax. was
shot from ambush about o mile from
his home at a late hour Monday MIG Int
and instantly killed. Circumstances
point very strongly to Frank Strong,
u young negro, as the assassin. Strong
and his wife, ELLA, had separated and
the latter had obtained shelter and
employment from Mr.. Croft and his
wife In Fairfax. The evidence shows
that Mr.. Croft and Ella Strong left
Fairfax aboutS O'clock Sunday night
to go to Frank Strong's house, mile
and half distant, to get some furni-
turc that ELLA claimed.
Mr.. Croft stopped at his sons house,
which is about 200 yards from
Strong's, ELLA going on by herself
After Il stormy encounter with Frank
she returned to the place where she
had left Mr.. Croft where the two re-
NAMED until after midnight when
they left on foot together for Fairfax.

BRIBERY is COMMON.
Gov. Gnrvin, OF Rhode Island, In
dulses in Plain Talk.

| III
In Il special message sent to tht
Senate Governor LuciuS +. G. Garvin
or Rhode Island, dcclargcs that bri-
berry is common in many towns OF the
State and that many members of tht
legislature occupy seats obtained by
purchased votes. The Governor re-
commcuds the appointment OF il com
missioner to employ agents to detect
bribery and bring offenders to Justice
Governor Garvin is The first Dcmocr;l-
tic Governor Rhode Island has had in
number OF years. The Senate is
Republican. The Governor in his
message says:
That bribery exists to Il & reat cX-
tent in The elections OF this State is Il
matter OF common knowledge. M
general election passes without, in
some section of the State, the pur-
chase Of votes by one or both OF the
great political parties 1t is true
that the results OF the election may
not often be changed SO far us the
candidates on the State ticket are
concerned, but many asscmblymcn
occupy the seats they do by means oI
purchased votes
In Il considerable number or oul
towns bribery is so common and has
existed for so many years that the
awful nature Of the crime has ceased
TO Impress. In some towns the bri.
berry takes place openly, is not called
bribery, nor considered serious
matter The money paid to the
voter, whether 50, So or $40, is spoken
OF rs Il payment for his time.
The claim that the money paid to
the clcctor is not for the purpose Of in.
llicncing Ills vote, but in compensation
for time lost in visiting the polls, is
the mcrcSt Sophistry, and should not
deceive any adult citizen or ordinary
Intelligence. 1t is we'll known that il
such towns, when one political part,
is supplied with Il corruption fund anc
the other is without, the party sc
provided invariably elects its Assem-.
bly, ticket, thus aifording positive
proofs that the votes arc bought and
| the voters brihcd.

Calls Upon Governor Hayward.
Thursday Vincent Chlcco, the un-.
crowned king Of East Bay street, paid
his respects to his cxcellency, the gov.
ernor Of South Carolina. This uncx-
pectcd honor came about by reason OF
the fact that certain vessals OF the
sovereign State OF South Carolina had
committed dcprcdations upon the ter
ritory Of the impulsive keeper Of the
famous resort for the bibulous in the
old city by the sea.
Chicco is unique. He made no effort
at disslmulation, but approached Gov.
Hayward ina straightforward man
ner and protested against the deter
mination Of the chief executive to en-
force the dispensary law in Charlacs-
ton. But he was unable to stir tie
governor from the firm and uncQuivC-
Cal declaration that the law Shall be
enforced. LII vain Chicco protested
that it would be ruin to himself and
others like him.
WV. ivy VAIN lSSSlSCA a
very kind and dignifictl manner and
gave him consideratc hearing The
new chief State constable, Mr.. Ham
nett was present, and Chicco gave
him the cordial greeting which Chicco
gives everybody. 'Chick" became
celebrated during the administration
Of Gov. Tillman, and the maker of in
comparable spaghetti and mixer of
drinks divine declares that he has had
not less than Sl4,9O0 worth OF fine
liquors seized from his establishment
The raid most expensive to himself
was the one in which a large quantity
of imported liquors were captured in
| collin boxes which had been used as a
rusc.
Another visitor from Charleston
called upon the governor Thursday
Mai. w. a. Boyle, chief Of the police
department. The police and the con.
stables have had some diSputing lately,
it being alleged by tho latter that
they arc not given proper support by
the police Of Charleston Mai BOYLE
presented letter from Mayor Smyth
conveying his best wishes to The
governor, After Il consultation with
the mayor. Chief Boyle had come to
discuss the situation with the COVER
nor and to present some facts from
the standpoint Of the police depart
mcnt.
The governor was assured Of the
support Of the Charleston police de-
partmcnt. Furthermore it was prom
iscd that when the police are notified
| that Il wagon is suspected of convey
ing contraband they will give chase
and assist in making arrests. The
contingency Of Chicco building Il boat
did not come up officially, but he
stated in Columbia that the mounted

rewards be offered for those who h,vn
committed some crime. Sometimes
These lettcrs come only Il day or so az

law expressly states that no reward
should be offered until the officers ,,ad
