Seventy five secret service men
are now travelling the country in an
effort to locate spurious coins and take
them out of circulation. There is
a clause in the banking laws making
it imperative upon the banks to con-
6scate all the counterfeit money
presented to them and then turn it
over to the government, but the
provision is not usually observed.
Usually the banks return the money
to the person who would pass it for
fear of offending an old patron. Thus
the money is kept in circulation. 1t

Two Killings In Baynwe1l.

Barnwen, September Especial
Barnwell County has had two more
murders added to her list. On Satur-
day afternoon Mr.. L. F. Miles had q
fuss with a negro named Caleb Nix.
A short time afterwards Mr.. Miles met
Nix and after a few words shot him
four. times, each shot taking effect.
The negro died almost Instantly. Niles
gave himself up to the authorities.
Nix had a large knife open in his
pocket when searched after his death.
This afternoon Mr.. L. W. Dewitt,
of Blackville, cut to death Mr.. Gruber
in his front yard. There seems to
have been some personal matter be-
tween the two men. Mr.. Gruber
came by Mr.. Dewitt's yard and after
"a few words started in the gate. Mr..
Dewitt advanced in his shirt sleeves
to meet him. Gruber reached for his
pistol and as be did SO Mr.. Dewitt
pulled his pocket knife and closed in
on him. He cut Gruber about the
head and neck, almost severing it from
his body. Gruber died almost in
stantly. Mr.. Dewitt gave himself up
to the sheriff Immediately after the
killing. Sheriff Creech happened to
be in Blackville. Both Dewitt and
Miles are now in jail.-News and

Loss BY Flood Was Enormous

Commissioner Watson is receiving
daily letters form those who have
been asked to send in. estimates of the
damage done in South Carolina by the
recent flood. All of the estimates
made are by conservative business
men and farmers and therefore will
not be above the actual loss. Some of
the figures give but faint idea of the
damage done the State. In one county
the loss to crops is estimated at about
$500, 900. In another the damage to
county bridges alone is estimated at
over 81, 900. Mr.. Lewis W. Parker,
president of several of the Columbia
mills, estimates the loss.in pay to the
operatives at the Olympia at s., 600, at
CRANKY at about $1,000 and at the
Capital City mills at about $3.50.
As soon as all of the returns are in
Mr.. Watson will compile acomprehen-
sive report for Mr.. Bauer of the
weather bureau, who is at work On
similar date eforthe government.-The

School Opening.


Monday morning marked one Of the
brightest and most promising open
ings OF the Palmetto Collegiate Insti-
tate. Parents, friends, students and
teachers assembled at 9:3O a. M, and
Thoroughly enjoyed an interesting pro-
gram. Rev. W. D. Quick, who pre-
sided, led the devotional reading and
prayer. Mrs. e. B.Roof at the organ,
was the leader of the musical part of
the program. Patriotic and sacred
songs blended the love Of church and
state in the hearts of our youths and
Inaidens.
Our worthy superintendent of edu-
cation, J. E. R. Kyzer, ma6e a prac-
tical talk on the value of maintaining
a good school in every community.
Prof. W. E. Black, principal Of the
institute, followed with another prac-
teal talk on the object of work done
in schools from the standpoint Of the
parents, the pupils and the teachers.
Following the opening exercises the
pupils and teachers assembled in their
respective rooms to enroll and organ
ize for the incoming years work. The
enrolment is the largest that has
been in recent years. About 125 pu-
pills were present opening day. The
different departments promptly or
ganized. The teachers and pupils
are ready to 60 forward together In
the educational ranks.
Lexington should be proud of the
good work done by her Institution of
learning. This good work should not
lessen our zeal, but serve as a stimu-
lus to greater excellence.

The Election Yesterday.

We present to our readers today as
near complete report of the county
vote as it is possible to obtain without
waiting for the official count tomor-
row. Not in the history of the county
has there been 80 much interest man
ifested in an election. At some of
the precincts personal encounters
were narrowly averted by the inter-
ference of cooler heads. But it is all
over now, and there will probably be
no more fussing. 1t is to be hoped so
at any rate.
It appears from the returns now in
hand-and there are only five boxes
yet to hear from-that County Treas
urer Frank W. Shealy has defeated
the present Clerk Of Court, Sam B.
George, by about fifty votes. It also
appears that MIR. Isaac Edwards, of
Batesburg, has defeated Col. J. B.
Wingard for the House by a good
majority; Langford has defeated
Koon for Supervisor; E. l.. Wingard
is elected Treasurer over j. M. NAL
pass by small majority; James
Caughman and S. Rufus Smith are in
the lead for County Commissioners,
and will probably be elected.
a full statement of the vote will be
given next week.
