Stephenson, supposed to be Nj. ).
Stephenson, formerly of Fort Mill. :.
c.. was killed near Grilliths. four miles
south of Charlotte. Sunday night d
few minutes before o'clock. j. T.
T.. kimball, an employe of the Queel
City Brick Works, is said to be his
slayer, he having admitted as much
to Mr.. Oscar Hunter, his employer.
and to Sheriff n W. Wallace. who ar
rested him. While nothing definite j.
known as TO the trouble which arose
between the two men, Kimball : WIFI
Is said To have figured in it, When
placed under arrest shortly after tho
homicide, Kimball refused TO talk
saying that he would keep his mouth
shut until he had consulted with his
attorneys. About 10 O'Clock he was
brought into the city and lodged in
the county Jail. In the trial which
will follow, the unwritten law will
likely be the plea of the defense.
The killing occurred in the "big
road" near Griiliths few minutes
before 8 O'Clock. Stephenson had
hired horse and buggy from Wads-
worth s early i'll the morning and had
driven down to his old home near
Fort Mill, S. c., to visit relatives. He
called at the stable very early. be
tween and 6:30 o'clock Mr.. Sam
Ross, who was III charge, refused to
accommodate him until Mr.. \. n.
Deaton came up. Mr.. Deaton arrived
shortly after, and knowing him. let

Stephenson was next seen by Mr.. Will
Brlssie shortly after = 30 near Pine.
VILE. lie was then on his way home
The killing took place about two
hours later at point 800 yards on
this side of Kimball s house. AS he
passed, it is not known whether or
not he stopped. 1t is hardly probable
that he did, for there were no tracks
to indicate it. Owing to the fact that
not one of the principals would talk
very little information of a positive
nature could be learned.
Besides his wife, Kimball has one
child. His mule and buggy was re-
ported to have been found in the
cotton patch near the scene of the
killing.
ii Is believed that bad blood had
existed between Kimball and Steph-
enson fol some time. Both came
originally from York county, South
Car"liha. where they probably knew
one another. Kimball formerly
lived ia Charlotte. Some six months
ago he moved down to Grifliths TO
work in the bIlch plant there. Stcph-
enson mo"ci 10 Charlotte about eight
months ago. Sunday night they prob
ably met o. ;he road ant Ir,luw",l
their quarrel. Mrs. Kimball was Ike
ly present and witnessed the sirug-
gle. 1t is very probable that Mr.. Os-
car Hunter heard her screams Wien
the gun Shots were fired. The rvi-
dence duplicating Kimball is very
strong. Mr. Oscar Hunter knows
more about it than any one else and
Will tell when the proper time comes.

TO ENFORCE GOOD LAW
Fraud in Transfers to Evade Taxeo
Will Eo Punished

The recent session of the general
assembly passed an important act af-
fecting the records made on audi
tors books in the transfer of proper
ty. 1t has been often charged By
auditors who attempt to enforce the
law that prices paid for property are
not correctly set out in the deeds or
on the books, the object being to de-
ceive the county board of equaliza
ton when assessments were made.
The law, however, makes the courts
refuse to endorse such action in the
following language:
''Be it enacted by the general
assembly of the state of South Caro-
lima:
"Seetion L. That all contracts
that are entered into, with intent to
cvade payment of taxes or in fraud
of the tax laws of this state. be. and
are hereby, declared against public
policy.
"Sec. >. That no court in this
state shall lend its aid in the enforce
mcnt of such contract whether the
same has heretofore been entered into
or may hereafter be entered into.
"Sec. ;. That the courts of this
state shall not lend their aid to en-
force any contract entered into as i
substitute for or having rs its con-
sideration previous contract here
inbefore declared against public poll
ley Hereafter, the law is going to
be rigidly enforced.

MAKES UP LOSS.
State Makes Up fpv Repeal OF Oecu-
patton Tax

patton Tax
Austin. Tex, May 21.-It Is now
contended that the loss to the state
TN revenue, which will be incurred
by the repeal Of the tax on useful
occupations, will be fully offset by
the passage of the Baskin- n-McGregor
high license and saloon regulation
law which goes into effect on July
II. The occupation tax law brought
into the states Golfers about 5000
600 year and it is expected that the
increase imposed on the liquor deal
ers by increasing their licenses,
will Just about reach that amount
over the present taxes, consequent
" the state will get the tax from
the saloons instead of from the mer-
chants and others pursing what are
termed useful occupations.
The comptroller's department has
just notified the tax collectors over
the state of the repeal Of the occupa-
ton tax bill, which, however, does
not become effective until January
1908, and list of the occupations
on which the tax has been repealed
has been sent to the collectors and
are as follows; Bankers and brokers,
cotton. wool and hide buyers, lead
ers in cotton seed products. dentists
in county of residence. grain eleva-
tors. hacks and other vehicles. local
insurance agents. land agents. steam
laundries. lawyers. livery and feed
stables. merchants. photograph gal
leries. toll bridges and wagon Yards.
