Increased Expen.e Cor Army and Navy.

Increased expense in maintaining our
army and navy is inevitable, in the first
place, because the difficulty of obtaining
recruits to the service makes 1t imperative
that better inducements to enlist be given.
Fair play also requires that the govern
ment do better by the men In certain re-
spects. Even West Point cadets have been
r~esigning from the service, and the gov
m is forced to graduate its 0z class
six months ahead of time in order 10 fill
vacancies. There is little doubt that the
next few months will see decided steps
taken to strengthen our forces, and es-
pecially the infantry arm of the regular
army. Much as this may be regretted In
some ways. it seems. inevitable If our ma
tional safety is to be conserved.-Spring-
field Union.

Eighty-two years ago last Dec. oath
James McCregOr was born in Scotland.
He grew to boyhood and after his faith
er had died came with his mother,
brothers and sisters TO this country and
settled in Brockway, Mich.
About the year 1874 he married
Amanda Warner and for twenty seven
years they jOurneyed together on life's
pathway when six years ago Mrs. Me
Gregor passed on before and Mr.. Me-
Gregor was left To trudge on alone.
During these years his children have
been his comfort and joy.
About IL years ago he left the farm
in Brockway and came TO Yale. Here
he lived for nine years when he moved

has been living with his daughter, Mrs.
VIM. Brooks, at Sanford, where he died

Death Of Mr.. Glenn Kaminer.

The announcement of the death at
Hot Springs, Arkansas, of Mr.. Glenn
A. Hammer, which occurred on Sat
urday, will be read with genuine sor-
row by the many friends CT this highly
esteemed gentleman, who reside in
this county where he was so we'll
known. Mr.. Hammer had been in
failing health for many months and at
the request of friends went to- Hot
Springs, where it was hoped that he
could be benefited if not permanent
ly restored. For a time it seemed
that the change was beneficial, so
much in fact, that he was in the act
of bidding friends good bye to return
to his home when suddenly and SEEM
ingly without warning he was attack
ed with cholera morbus, from the
effects of which he died. Mr.. Kami-
ner was native of this county, having
been born and reared near this place,
where many of his relatives now
reside. In young manhood he moved
to Gadsden, in lower Richland county,
where he at once became identified
with the business interests of that
place and was up to the time of his
death one of the most prominent cltl-
zens of Richland county.
Mr.. Hammer leaves besides a wife
and four children, the following broth
ers, who are all well known in this
county: George A. Hammer. Silas
O., John j., and Lonnie. He also has
one sister living in this county, Mrs.

Sheriff cosley OF for Texas.

Sheriff P. 81. Corley left Monday for
Fairmont, Texas, armed with ,requlsl-
tion papers for Benton G.. Turner, a
young white man wanted in this
county for seducing, under promise of
marriage and violating that promise,
Miss Ella Fraley, daughter of Mr.. 3.
M. Fraley, of New Brookland. The
alleged crime was committed about
the first of May this year, and the
young woman is now in a critical con-
dition.
Sheriff Corley has been at work on
the case since the alleged crime was
committed, and had Turner under
surveillance in Alabama at one time,
but he fed to Texas before he could
be arrested. Lexington's ever alert
sheriff, however, did not let up on
Turner until he located him at the
above named place and had him ar
rested.
The rcquisition was stubbornly
fought by Col. P. 81. Nelson, of Co.
lumbia, attorney for the accused, but
Solicitor Zimmerman made strong
fight and Gov. Ansel granted the re-
quest. Turner will be brought back
to face the crime with which he has
been charged at the November term
of court. The case promises to be a
sensational one.

young woman who, it is alleged, shot
and killed her husband, Capt. McCul-
ley w. Blair, conductor of the @. n.
and L. railway, on the 18th of lasU
January, was found guilty of man
slaughter with recommendation to
mercy in the Richland county court
Sunday morning, after the jury had
considered the merits of the case for
IA hours.
When the verdict was announced
Mrs. Blair, who had held up bravely
all through the trial, tainted, and was
removed from the room and placed
on a couch at the request of Judge
Johnstone.
AS soon as the verdict was announc-
ed Col. P. H. Nelson, attorney for
Mrs. Blair, gave notice of a motion
for new trial, which will be argued
later in the week. It is said the jury
stood nine for murder with recon-
mendation to mercy, two for man
slaughter and one for acquittal, the
jury finally compromising on the
above verdict. y
The defendant was represented by

White Rock News,
TO the Editor of The Dispatch

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Quite an uncommon thing happened
in our town last week. While deco
rating the church for Harvest service
some one happened to look in the
tower and discovered that two Barn
owls had made the bell tower their
nesting place. One was shot and the
other captured, and is now in a cage
at Mr.. w. R. Eleazer's and is an OBJ
ject of curiosity. It's breast and head
is as white as snow and it's eyes are
black. It is very beautiful bird.
Little Helen Haigler is quite sick.
After severe and protracted ill
ness, Mr.. Walter Bundrick, of near
here, died of heart disease, and was
buried at Shady Grove church on last
Saturday. =
The White Rock Glee club is now

entertainment in the school house at

NAV Be End Of County.

From the result of the meeting of
the Calhoun county commissioners
which was held in this city a day or
two ago, it seems that that new coun-
ty scheme has about fallen through.
The meeting was called to be held in
the morning but was postponed until
late in the afternoon cn account of
the absence of a gentleman who is
very much interested in the matter.
The surveyors who did the official
surveying of the new county were
present and made their report. From
this it seems that the line of the new
county passed through the incorporate
limits Of the town Of Cameron, and for
this reason, the matter was held up.
In order that they may be certain OF
this fact, a representative of the COM
mission went to Columbia yesterday
for the purpose of looking up the re-
cords of the esta ablishment of the town
Of Cameron, and secured a copy Of
the petition for charter. From this
petition it seems that the holding of
the Commissioners was correct

jEFcoAT ARRESTED
FOR AN ASSAULT
Rumefed Beforehand He Would Kill
Officers. Crime Alleged Heinous
One-Ceusin OF Dead Desperate.

Aiken, Sept. 13.-David M. Jefcoat,
white. charged with criminally as
saulting an S-year-old negro girl last
MAY, was arrested yesterday and was
brought to Aiken and placed in jail.
Jeffcoat is resident of Orangeburg,
inst over the line, but the crime with
which he is charged was committed
In this county. He was arrested by
Sheriff Raborn and Deputies Busbee
and Cato. When he was arrested JEFF
coat submitted quietly, though it was
reported that he would resist arrest.
It was rumored that he said he would
Kill any man who attempted his cap
ture.
David M. Jeffcoat is cousin of the
desperado Jeffcoat, who created TO
much fear in this county some years
aro and killed several men before he
himself was killed in Alabama. JEFF
coaSis powerfully built man, about
AZ wears Old, and has a wife and five
sons, two married daughters and sew
eral grandchildren. Hedoes not seem
to think he is in a very serious pre-
dicament. but says he will be out and
back at home soon, as he has a farm
to work and q turpentine farm to
gather. He owns some property on
! the Edisto river, but he spends most
of his time hunting and fishing.
This crime that has been laid to bis
blame is alleged to be one Of the most
heinons in the history of Aiken county.
It is said that he went to theshouse OF
"a respectable man while he was at
work in nearby field, and committed
an assault upon the colored mans
little S-year-old daughter, seriously
iniuring her. He was seen in the act
by the girI's smaller brother, who re-
ported the matter to his father. The
man then went to the house and ac-
costed Jefcoat and attempted to res
cue the girl from his clutches, but was
threatened with his life. Afterward
I it n said Jeffcoat went around to the
field where the man was working and
waited at the end of the row where he
was blowing and then shot him with q
shotgun, seriously wounding him.

IS Killed in Wreck.

White River Junction, Vt, Sept.
15.-Twenty-fve people mostly excur-
sionists, returning from the Canadian
provinces, met death and many others
were injured about daylight today in
a fearful train wreck between a pas
senger train and freight, due to a
head-on collision, on the Concord divi-
sion of the Boston and Maine railroad
about four miles west of Canaan sta
ton. The badly injured numbered
nearly thirty, some OF whom it is fear
ed, may not survive.
twenty-five of the bodies were taken
by train to Concord and two to this
place. Before their removal fourteen
of the bodies had been identified. It
is thought that misunderstanding of
orders by the crew of the freight train
caused the accident.
