Homicide in Aiken County
Young Man Drained Step
father with Axe.

Aiken special in the News and
Courier: Last night about 8
o'clock Riley l.. Johnson, a high
ly respected citizen of Warren
vile, met a horrible death at
the hands of his stepson, Ben
Turner, lad Of nineteen. The
dead mans body laid on the
ground at his home, about one
mile from Warrenville last night
and this morning the coroner went
down to the scene of the tragedy
and held the inquest. The body
was found in the yard just as it
had fallen when he was struck
on the head and brained with an
axe. Early this morning Turner
came to Aiken and surrendered
to the sheriff, and he is now in
Jail TO await trial on the charge
of numbering his stepfather.
At the inquest the. following
facts were brought out: For some
time there has not been good
feeling between the boy and his
stepfather. Last Friday they had
a quarrel, and on Sunday alter
noon Mr.. John Murrell testified
that Johnson told him that if he
had to whip Ben he would do it
or kill him.
Monday night as the family
were about to retire Johnson was
seated on the front porch. Turner
went into the house to retire
and it was then that Johnson
asked him about the ploughing
of some land, and a quarrel
arose in which johnson told
Turner that he must leave at
once. Turner replied that he
would leave as soon as he finish
ed his crop, or something similar
to that. Mrs. Johnson, wife of
the deceased and mother of Tur
ner, testified that Johnson drew
his pistol on Turner, whereupon
Turner picked up an axe that
was in the room and struck him
on the head. Johnson fell under
the piazza railing and on TO the
ground. At this stage Mrs. john
son turned from the scene and
did not see what happened after
that. AS his head bore four terri
fic blows it is supposed that Tur-
ner went out when johnson fell
and dealt the other blows, and
there is no doubt but that it was
the intention to kill the man.
From two of the wounds the
brains were knocked out, and in
the others the skull was broken.
On the ground about two feet
from him lay the pistol, and in
his pocket this morning were
found pair of knucks.
The jury found that death had
resulted from blows from an axe
in the hands of Ben Turner.

Our New York Letter.
History of the First Charter
ed Corporation in America
Governor Hughes of New
York.

said and written about corpora
tions.
The first one organized--char-
tered-in this great country was
by Aaron Burr (of certain
memory.) 1t was the Manhattan
Water Company (now the Man
haitian Bank OF this City.) Burr
was a schemer-a power in poll
tics in his day or at least until
up to the time of his disgrace.
The promoters proposed supply
ing water to the residents of
New York City. Little attention
was paid to the measure-so SIM
ple-merely "water bill" and
at that time was an object to the
growing city. 1t was found after
wards that Burr had incorpora-
cd in the bill broad privileges,
exclusive rights, not only water
rights, but all manner of things
were granted, banking, trading,
specializing, anything, every
thing could be carried on under
the protection OF law and to the
exclusion of others. The water
company is defunct and has been
for years, yet the far reaching
charter is preserved and under
it score of enterprises are today
operated.
The great Manhattan Banking
Institution takes the lead among
the many under the wings of
this franchise. The law-mak ers
at the time incorporated in the
measure a clause requiring the
daily pumping OF water and the
minimum was placed at gallon.
From that day to this water has
been pumped daily and now
every day l gallon is forced
through the pipe, to save the
valuable franchise.
A good man, no matter what
his politics or religion is, de.
serves the commendation of his
fellow men. Governor Charles
E. Hughes of New York State is
the one your correspondent has
in mind at this time. This is not
written to further the political
chances of Governor Hughes but
simply and solely to give honor
to whom honor is due. Hughes
is a mana make up such as the
writer has never before seen,
and it is a truth that the man
does not care whether he is fur
ther favored or not politically
he is natures nobleman who
does right though the heavens fall
and let's fly the chips no matter
whom they hit; his first and sole
thought seems to be the Right. A
christian tried and true, son of
Baptist preacher, his training
was correct and he has never
deviated from it. AS some one
put it, "novelty is great asset
in politics. The people at large
have an instinct for discovering
the new thing, and the Hughes
method is unquestionably new.

sociated with extreme conserva-
tism to an incorporating radi-

IMPUREWATER

Typhoid in nearly every case,
as we'll as malaria, dysentery and
,the other hot-weather complaints
that so often end fatally, has
been traced to impure water.
Because to the naked eye the
water appears clear is no guar
antee that it is pure. Often one
has but to look at it through
magnifying glass to see millions
of deadly microbes.
The water supply in many
country places, small towns and
summer resorts at times becomes
contaminated with sewage and
other impurities owing to one or
another of several causes that are
common.

POLIcEMAN'S WIFE SLEPT
WHILE BURGLAR ROBBED

A daring burglary was committed last
night at the residence of Patrolman
Grant Mozart of the central police de-
tail while he was absent from home at
tending a meeting of his lodge. The
burglary was not discovered until he ar
rived home from lodge, although Mrs.
Mozart and the children were all asleep
in two of the rooms ransacked
The burglar effected an entrance by
breaking open a front window with a
jimmy. He then leisurely searched the
drawers of a dressing case and chest
of drawers and a bureau. Jewelry to the
value of $500 and $50 in money was stolen.
Officer Mozart resides at 126 Salt Lake
Terrace and the police are of the opinion
that the robbery was committed by
someone thoroughly familiar with the
premises.

MUSICAL ACT FEATURE
OF oRPHEUM PROGRAM

The five Byrons at the Orpheum last
evening presented a carnival of music.
They played everything from the banjo
to the harp and did everything well.
The stage was dark, when with the
burst of the music colored lights
flashed forth. producing symphony of
color as well as of sound. Their last
act was novel. The instrument they
used was shaped like a guitar and had
two sound holes, one for mandolin
and the other for the guitar. One man
held the guitar and played the mando-
lin strings. Another played the guitar
strings and held up a tambourine for
the third one, who fingered the mando-
lin strings to strike. The last one
fingered the guitar strings and played
the castanets, and every one of them
sang and danced at the same time.
John w. World, who with Mindell
Dryfus Kingston presents a singing
and dancing act, is excruciatingly
funny They are both fine singers and
good dancers and have full store of
laughable songs and sayings. Miss
Kingston wears a dress covered with
ostrich feathers in their native state
which she gathered herself in Africa.
Frank Seymour and Emma Hill are
billed as 1.-The Mix and the Mixer.
Miss Hill has plenty of nerve, at least.
She fell last night in way she did not
intend, but she showed a laughing face
and only remarked to the audience,

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Messagcs re-
ceived from London by diamond brokers
in the last few days say that the alb
sorption of the Premier mines by the De
Beers diamond trust, already reported,
was only one of number of develop

control Of the business in all parts of
the world, which is said to be absolute.
Besides getting control of the Premier
mine the trust has closed contracts under
which it will take for term of years
the products of the other two mines.
One of the largest Maiden Lane i'm
porters said that there is now no pos
sibility of any serious competition. THE
trust he said, was following the policy
of maintaining the market at high
and advancing level.

Gibson stated that he was on his way

dressed, accosted him. One of them gave
him the "strong arm while the other
attempted to go through his pockets.
He struggled and both attacked him
with their fists. Finally one pulled a
short club from his pocket and struck
him several heavy blows on the head.

told. perhaps half a dozen such lines in

1--WE are in a position to handle all the
business that we are getting. The num-
Der of operators available today is above
the usual number required at this time of
year"
This is the position of the Los Angeles
office of the Western Union, according to
Superintendent F. H. Lamb.
In the office yesterday afternoon were
eighteen men and eight women telegraph
ers. I'VE have, all told, forty-four," said
Lamb. "Of course all of these are not on
at one time. The normal staff is thirty
two.
There has been an appreciable falling
off of business, of course, though what
per cent of the usual number of messages
the public is filing L cannot tell.
'"Today's business has been better for
us than that of any preceding day since
the men walked out The public is be-
coming used to the situation. Then, too,
the striking of the employees of the Postal
company has thrown an extra amount of
business to us.
1--WE are serving meals to the present
operators in the building Beyond the
local situation 1 have no official knowl-
edge"
TeIegraphers Are Satisfied
IT'S no doubt gratifying to the officials
to have such good forces of good opera
tors and to be so close up on business"
said member of the strike committee
last night. I'VE know about how much
the public believe of those statements.
Let them keep it up; both sides are
happy. If 10 per cent of the normal
amount of kilograms were filed they
would be swamped and the suit case and
mail service would be called upon again.
I'm San Francisco our men have gone
out again. We have on file in San Fran
cisco eighteen specific cases where the
company officials violated the agreement.
Those cases are authentic and are covered
by affidavits.
"The means resorted to by the northern
officials to annoy our men after their re-
turn are almost unbelievable. The agree
ment signed by union officials and Western
Union representatives stated in terms
clear and unmistakable that men were to

A TERRORIST RusE

The fertility of the terrorist's ingenuity
is illustrated by the plan used in Warsaw
last summer in an attempt to execute the
sentence passed upon Skallon, governor
general of Poland, who was responsible
for innumerable deaths under the field
courts-martial. The governor knew of
this sentence, and neither official duties
nor terrorist wiles could draw him from
his palace. Then the terrorists thought

in full uniform, walked into the office of
the German consul at Warsaw, slapped
that gentleman, walked out and made his
escape.
That slap threatened an 'affaire inter-

Nothing but an official apology from the
governor general could atone for the in
suit. The ruse worked; the governor, af-
ter waiting eight days, rode forth in state
to administer diplomatic balm. But the
plan as a whole failed, owing to the mis-
take of the nervous woman, worn by con-
slant watching at a window, who threw

The news that San Francisco men had
gone out again was received without Ella

with approval, but no cheering.

but it's true. We would like to see some
thing done to stop it. The workers seem
