Birae Calls Project Absurd.

The adoption of the Carnegie re-
Roosevelt is not indorsed by the lead

way seeming best to them. Not only
are the changes illogical. but they are
crude and In many cases the real
root Of the word Is entirely lost, they
say. It's absurd to discuss such q

Madison. Wisconsin hunters have
begun an agitation to obtain legisla-
ton which will require sportsmen VINO
confine themselves to fishing to help
pay for the protection of game ana the
support of the large force OF game
wardens who overrun the state.
The hunters assert that as the law
now stands they are taxed for a pur-
pose which benefits anglers as much
as 1t does the men who get their sport
out of handling rifle or a shotgun.
They fail to see any justice under the
present statutes by which hunters are
required under penalty to provide
themselves with state licenses while
the individuals who devote their vaca-
tlons TO handling reel and net are
permitted to go without taxation.
Although the hunting season does
being made by the hunters all over
the state about the present laws.
While they are compelled to go armed
with the authority Of the law permit
ting them to hunt, the people who
wish to fish are working nearly every
lake and stream In the state which
contain game fish.
Attention is directed by the hunters
TO the fact that the state annually
spends large sums Of money to stock
lakes and streams with fry for the
benefit of the anglers. Yet the class OF
persons who derive the most benefit
from this kind OF paternalism are not
required to make any heavier contrl.
button than their neighbors who never
think Of going fishing.

CANNES who have thus far escaped
the gaze of his eye. Between April

catching season ends in September,
the total will probably foot up close to
$3.50. Last year. the total dog taxes
amounted to $762, 50 1t will be seen
that the increase in the number OF
dogs, is augmenting the city treasury
year by year.

FIENDLSH OUTRAGE
QUICKLY AVENGED BY RELA-
TIvEs OF THE VICTIM.
Swift and Sure Justica Meeted Out
to Brute for Heinous
Crime.

A special dispatch from Atlanta Il
to The News and Courier says In tn,
presence Of Annie Laurie Poole, the
beautiful fifteen year.old daughter Of
a prominent Atlanta family, whom he
had assaulted, Floyd Carmichael, q
negro, WAS literally shot to pieces
about 4 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon by
the male relatives of the girl. When
the negro foil, cutssnd torn by q hun
dred bullets, 1t was proposed to burn
the bleeding romans and steps were
taken to ktndle fire, but the rela-
tives of the outraged girl decided not
to go to this extreme. The girl was
outraged in 100 Yards IF her homo, on
South Pryor street, and her assailant
paid the penalty Of his crime in front
of the Poole residence.
The girl was seized by the negro
shortly before noon as she was return.
ing from q visit to q neigh Dor. AS she
passed an alley she felt hand grip
her, and she was dragged from the
street far up into tho alley, which
was deserted and rank with weeds.
The girl struggled desperately, but
waS checked almost INTO insonsibility.
The negro kept her in the alley for
nearly an hour, and as he left threat t.
ened to murder her family IL she told
what he had done. The girl had been
so badly Injured that she could not
move, and was found bruised and
bleeding In the alley by her mother,
who, alarmed at nor absence, had
gone In search Of her. The girl was
almost nude, all her o,osr ing having
b en- torn from her by thu ct-o.
Mrs. Poole immediately IN 'ormed
her husband, and he, after # ring q
reward OF 91 600, summoned lis sons,
brothers and nephews, and started in
pursuft CT the negro. BlJodhounds
were used and the dogs led the aveng.
Ing relatives to cabin In the south
ern portion Of the city. In the cabin
hiding under bed, Floyd Carmichael
vas found. His clothing was bloody
and he bore eYidenc q Of q struggle.
The negro denied that he had d one
anything wrong. Wen take him to

The negro was taken to the Poole
residence, and the girl was borne Ia
the arms Of her father to the front
porch. That's th5 negro" cried the
child hysterically. 20, why didn't
you In mercy kill mep" she screamed,
as she pointed her finger at the assail.
ant. a dozen pistols were out ere the
girPs voice died away and in few
minutes the negro was shot to pieces,

moved tho body shortly after the lyn-
ching. The feeling against negroes
IN this section of the city is now ex-
oeedingly bitter and there are threats

Statistics Brought Out at Board
of Equalization Meeting.
THE FIGURES SHOW
That Property Generally In Every County
in the State, Except One, Has Great.
Iy Increased In Farms as Well
as the Country. Ander.
son Claims BestI. and.

At the meeting of the Slate Board
OF Equalization in Columbia last week
all Of the county auditors but five had
filed abstracts Of real estate returns in
their respective counties. The audi
tors who have not sent in their alb
stracts have good reasons, it is said
and Mr.. w. III. Dorrill Of Georgetown,
who Is late this time, Is said to be be.
hind for the first time in his incum-
bcncy OF 80 years. He is sick now, but
will be reelected without opposition.
The other counties which have not re-
sponded are: Edgefield, Pickens, Un.
ion and Spartanburg.
A comparison Of the figures for the
respective counties Is interesting. Ev-
cry county in the State shows a gain
in property valuation in four years
with the exception Of Fairfield, where
there is q decided loss-and Fairfield
has not ceded any of her lands to other
counties. Anderson seems to think
that her land Is the best in the State
by the way people pay taxes thereon
and York county comes second. The
bOaSted rich lands Of Marlboro and
Orangeburg do not show up so remark
ably on the list.
The following tables are necessarily
incomplete on account Of the fact that
the five counties have not sent in alb
StractS, but the statements therein
contained are of no less interest. Fol.
lowing are the figures showing the as
sesSment of property outside Of cities
and towns.
