MURDERER HANGED.
Luke Chisholm Pays Penalty for
Killing Rohara Graham.
The First Hanging That Has Ever
Taken Place In the County Of
Dorchester.
Dorchester.

A dispatch from st. Georges to
The News and Courier says the first

ed Friday when Luke Chisolm paid
the penalty Of death 2or the murder
of Robert Graham, in SummerYille.
last August. At the term of Court
in October Luke Chisolm was found
guilty of murder and sentenced to be
hanged by his neck till his body be
dead, on the 2eth day Of November. y
From the rising Of the Court till
that morning just before Chisholm
was taken to the scaTold, the minis
ters of his race have been untiring
in their efforts to save his soul, and
before the black cap was adjusted to
close his vision Of things Of this life,
he testified that his soul was saved
as he has often done since sentence
Of death was passed upon him.
He told the spectators that he was
ready and willing to die and that
whiskey was the cause OF his filling
a felon's grave. He asked that all
would look upon him and take
lesson as to the evil of strong drink
and the degradation it would bring
upon man.
Then the black cap was adjusted
over his head, his feet and hands Sc
curely tied, the moose PIT around his
neck and at Ills Sheriff Limeaouse

His body was taken down and
placed in coffin to be taken IN
charge by his people.
A large number of people were
in town to witness the execution, but
nndar the law only certain number
were permitted to see it. There were
numbers on the outside Of the jail

MUST TAKE THEM.
Clearing House Certificates Can
Be Used to Pay Taxes.
The County Treasures Who Construe
Law Too Literally Are Making
Trouble Aplenty and Must Stop.

The Columbia Record says State
Treasurer Jennings is doing all be
can to stop the drain upon the cur
rency supply of the state, which IS
being made by certain county treas
urers who reject clearing house GER
tifcates and demand cash in payment
of taxes. He announced several days
ago that at his own Office clearing
house certificates or any other paper
of the kind that was current at par
in Columbia would be accepted and
the county treasurers who will con-
strue the lay on the subject in the
same liberal way can do much toward
ameliorating the situation.
State and county taxes are due
all over the State. They will amount
to several million dollars. The coun-
ty treasuTers who are declining
clearing house certificates in payment
of taxes claim that the law forbids
their accepting anything but gold,
United State Currency and state
bond coupons About half the state
tax, amounting to a million and
quarter dollars will go to New York
in hard cash as fast as it arrives at
the state treasurer's office, winch
owes 5000 in floating notes due
in December and January, and s143,-
900 in semi-annual interest on the
states bonded debt, much Of which
money goes to New York.
Richards treasurer, whose e2-
ample in rejecting the certificates,
has been followed by many other
county treasurers, cites section Isl
of the state tax laws in defense OF
his course. This section reads as fol-
lows:
Taxes are payable in the follow
ing kinds of funds and no Other:
Gold and silver coin, United Sttaes
currency, including national bank
notes; coupons due and payable dur
ins the current year in the consoi1-
dated bonds known as brown bonds;
and the bonds of this state known as
blue bonds, and other state bonds
which may be issued by any act OF
law, making the coupon receivable
for taxes. Appropriation act, 1905,
XIV Statutes, es5; Code Section
41A. Mandamus shall not issue to
compel receipt Of any other fund
Mr.. H. ]. Southern, the treasurer
of Greenville county, is one OF the
treasurers constituting this section
very literally. He is quoted as say
ing:
Il shall continue to accept these
certificates as I have been doing since
they were first put into circulation.
know the law states that only gold,
currency and bonds of this state are
acceptable in payment OF taxes, but
do not construe that to mean that
cannot accept certificates which are
as good as gold. ! deposit the money
which I collect in the bank each nlgnI
and these certificates are accepted
there each night the same as gold
and as I am accommodating quite
number in accepting these certln-
Gates. why shall continue to re
ceiye them unless I get orders not to-
T think that the state should DO al
in its power to aid the financial slt'
nation and as these certificates are
good 1t runs no risk of losing any
thing BY taking them Tor taxes.

HAD A HARD time,
Two Men Starved Three Days in
Boat on Bay.
Drifting Without Food OF Drink
They Hail Passing Vessels But to
No Await.

Without food or drink for seventy
TWO consecutive hours, and Tearing
evidence OF having been buffeted by
storm, Charles Losee and George
Gof. amateur fishermen, arrived at
their homes in Fort Hamilton
on Thursday evsning. They told how
a little boat in which they went adrift
was passed by several fishing smacks,
although the two endangered men
signalled wildly for help.
The men had caught good many
ish and had started back for Fort
Hamilton. AS they got to the mouth
of the narrows big storm struck
them. The sail Of the skif was rent
as if it were tissue paper. The mast
cracked and fell overheard, tipping
the vessel until the men believed
they would be drowned. The storm
not only destroyed sail and mast,
but even ripped the rudder loose, so
CNSC 1C was USELESS.
Losse and GoR were helpless They
had taken along only enough water
and food to last late in the afternoon,
and as the night wore on and the gale
swept hither and thither in the cold
and darkness they began to suffer
from thirst. AS morning broke the
storm increased in fury, and the fish
ermen had no idea where they were.
Rain descended in such volumes and
was driven in such vapor like clouds
that they could not even see the
shore.
A sailing vessel. struggling with
the choppy sea, passed close to the
skiff. Losse and Gof shouted wildly
and waved pieces of the tattered sail
But the craft went lurching on her
way, the captain paying no attention
to the yells for help.
Later another vessel, big fishing
smack, hove in sight, and the cries
we're renewed, but again they were
ignored. Several other vessels sailed
passed the seemingly doomed men
and they abandoned hope.
Meanwhile the police had issued
general alarm for them, and all the
life-saving stations along the New
Jersey coast were notified. Crews OF
outgoing fishing vessels were re
ouested to keep a lookout for the
missing pair. but no word was re-
ceived from them until late Thurs
dav. AT seven o'clock they appeared
at their homes.
They had drifted into Point City
Cove. about eight miles from ATTAIN
tic Highlands. and had managed so
as to manoeuvre the boat as 10 per-
nit a landing The two were be-
draggled and haggard from exposure
and lack of sustenance. They won
90 out in the skin again.
