The officers OF the Alameda have
heard this story from the best of au-

and the same tale has been brought
TO this city or the recent steamers of
the Pacific Mail line. From the fact
that the story, with the same general
details, has spread through San Fran

there must be something TO it
The Oceanic Steamship Company Is
being reorganized under the personal
direction of Jack Spreckels and there
will be many changes made both in
the management and in the working
force before the San Francisco-Aus-
tralian route is recommended.
The last payment of interest on the
bonds Of the company was delinquent,
but was paid up before July l, and the
Oceanic is still, on this account, under

Moonshlners Got tho Upper Hand.

Greenville, May 3.-Moonshiners gave
party OF officers big surprise in the
Dark Corner section of Greenville county
yesterday by surrounding distillery,
which the raiding squad has captured,
and, at the point of Winchester rifles,
demanding and effecting the release of
two prisoners.
1t was daring piece of work even for
blockaders and rather out of the ordi-
nary for these times. Since the Carey
Cothran law went into effect Magistrate
Rector, of Highland township, has been
active in destroying illicit distilleries.
Wednesday night he started a raid
near the North Carolina line and early
Thursday morning big distillery was
located. The magistrate was accom-
panied by two coustables. One was sent
off to Tryon to notify the deputy revenue
collector at Greenville, while the mags-
trate and his constable held the still.
Just at daylight three men came to the
distillery, presumably to start operations.
Two were captured, but one escaped.
Half an hour later the distillery was
surrounded by mountaineers, who Gov
cred the officers with their rifles and
effected tho release of the prisoners.
The mountaineers then destroyed the
distlllery and ITO gallons of liquor in
order to prevent the property falling into
the hands of the Federal Government,
several women assisting in the work.
Magistrate Rector and his constables
were told to clear out and they lost no
time in getting away.
A number of warrants will be sworn
out for the arrest of the guilty parties.

Many Killed in Explosion.

Hong Kong, May 3.-Great destruction
OF life and property was caused at Can
ton yesterday evening by the explosion
of gun powder magazine. Twenty-on
bodies already have been recovered from
the ruins. Hundreds of persons were
injured. Fifteen buildings we razed and
over hundred were seriously wrecked.
A section two hundred feet long Of the
massive city wall was thrown down.
The historical many -storied pagoda es-
capped with slight injuries. The officials
and stats of the hospitals are doing their
best to succor the sufferers.

eigners live, terrific shock, caused by
tho explosion, was felt, but the residents
were unharmed.
The city of Canton is about six miles
in circumference and is enclosed by walls
about twenty feet thick and from
twenty-five to forty feet high. There
are sixteen gates into the city, besides
two water gates. The famous nine.
storied pagoda, dating from the begin
ming of the middle ages, is situated in
the western part of what is known as the
old city. The foreigners reside in the
Shannon suburb, founded in 1859, on an
artificial island on the Honan side of the
rive. The population of Canton is esti-
mated at 100000.

Much Damage by Lightning.

Abbeville, May San electric storm
of considerable severity passed over the
northern section of this county last night.
At about o'clock the hofae of Hon.
Joseph Norton Nance, who represented
this county for one term in the Legisia-
ture, was struck by lightning and was
consumed in short while. One of his
children was considerably shocked. The
fact that the house was on fire was not
discovered in the storm and confusion
until it was too late to arrest the pro-
gress of the flames.
Mr.. Nance's first efforts wero directed
to getting his family in safe place, 80
that almost the entire contents of the
house were consumed. The house was
located about one milo northwest of the
town of Due West. On account of the
lateness of the alarm help from the town
was not in time to do much. 81 fur
niture and a handsome piano were taken
out, but very much SCARED by the fire
and the piano remained in the rain,
which continued for nearl, two hours.
The house was a large and comfortable
one, having been very lately repaired,
and the insurance of ono thousand dol
lars on the house and five hundred on
che furniture will not compensate for
more than one third of the loss.
Some hail fell, but the stones were not
large and very little damage was done.

Negro Murderer Dies on Scaffold.

Spartanburg, May 4.-Jobn Shelton,
who killed Alf Briggs, his father-in-law
in November, 1905, and who was cop-
victed at the January, 1909, term of the
General Sessions Court, was hanged in
the county Jail at noon yesterday. He
walked to his death in calm and indif-
ferent manner, showing no signs of
fright or nervousness. Before the trap
was sprung he was asked If he had any
thing to say. and in a steady voice re-
piled that he had no statement to make.
The trap was sprung after the black cap
had been adjusted and prayer offered by
his spiritual adviser. The fall broke his
neck and in twelve minutes the body was
cut down.
Three times since his conviction Sael-
ton has been within the shadow of che
gallows, escaping each time through the
efforts of his counsel, who succeeded in
having the execution stayed. This time,
however, neither the Governor nor the
Supreme Court would interfere, though
every effort was made up to the last mo-
ment to secure respite. Shelton seemed
hopoiui VI IcSplIo uuIll INC ldSC nOur. AS
he was being led from his coll to the
death chamber he seemed to realize that t
his last hour had come. for as he passed
by the cells he said goodbye to the pris-
oners.
Tho hanging of Shelton is the first
since Chris Cannon was hanged in 1898
for the murder of X. II. Blassingame,
chief of police.
On November 10, 1905. Shelton shot
his wife's father, ALI Briggs, at the old
mans home, in this COUNTY. 1t was testi-
fed that Shelton and his wife had sepa-
rated and that she was living with her
father. Shelton went to the house and
he and his wife quarreled. Her father,
who was sitting in the obair, arose to
stop the row, and Shelton shot him to
death. In the petitions filed it was al.
legged that the deceased, Alf Briggs, was
living in an unlawful relation with his
own daughter, Shelton's wife, and that
he was the father of her child.
