BLIND TIGERS
CHARGED WITH KILLING THE
MAYOR OF NEWPORT.
S. j. Sanders and His Brother Ar
rested in Newport, n. c., for Az
sassination of Fearless Officials.

At Beaufort, n. c., the grand jury
Monday brought in a bill of murder
against S. J. Sanders, who had been
arrested for the death of II. u. New
berry of Newport, n. c., who was
shot to death Saturday night at the
door of his home there. Judge
Guion ordered the sheriff to summon
200 talesmen in order to get a jury.
The case is set for Friday at 10
a. m.
Sanders is locked in the Carter
county Jail, while his brother, i.
+. Sanders, also is under arrest, held
as an accessory. The prisoners were
carried to Beaufort by Sheriff Han
cock, after a coroner's jury at New
port had returned "a verdict that
Mayor Newberry's death resulted
from gunshot wounds inflicted by
S. ]. Sanders and that his brother
also was implicated in the shoot
ing.
The assassination of Mayor New
berry was the direct outcome, it is
said. of the prosecution of "blind
tiger cases. The mayor recently
had had several persons arrested for
illegally selling whiskey and four
of the men, including the two San
ders brothers, were bound over for
court at Beaufort next Monday. 1t
is alleged threats have been made
against the mayors life and after his
assassination Saturday night suspic-
ion was directed to the Sanders
brothers.
Great excitement prevailed in New
port after the tragedy occurred Sat-
urday night. Requests for blood
hounds were sent to Tarboro and the
road in front of the mayors home
was roped off in hope that the dogs
might be able to readily pick up the
scent and lead the authorities to the
assassins. The dead mans wife was
i'll in bed at the time of the murder
and his little daughter stood by his
side when he was shot.
Word of the shooting was semitic

nethy, accompanied by Sheriff Han
cock, and a %coroner's jury, went to
Newport in a special train. Upon
arrival of the train at Newport the
| Sanders brothers were arrested and
later the coroner's jury ordered them
held.

TO MARK THEIR GRAVES.
NorthernerS to be Honored Who
Stood by the South.

A special from Aiken says Mr..
C. K. Henderson is receiving sub
scriptions for a fund to erect a mon
ument to mark the grave Of the Rev.
S. P. T. Fields and his wife, whose
remains lie in unmarked graves in
the cemetery of the Methodist church
in that city. The Rev. Fields was
for many years a resident of the
city. He was in Aiken during the
reconstruction period. Coming from
the North at this time, it was but
natural to suppose that he would
align himself with the Republican
Sympathizers, but instead he stood
firmly by the side of the white peo-
pie and was a leading factor in the
ranks of the Southern whites in rs.
Now his remains lie in an unmarked
grave. His relatives are poor and
unable to erect monuments to these
good people, and consequently Mr..
Henderson is endeavoring to raise a
sufficient amount to mark their
graves.

WEISKOPF ARRESTED


The State says Denis Weiskopf,
president of the Nivisson, Wieskopf
Company Of Cincinnati, Ohio, was in
Columbia Monday and gave boal for
$4,000 to appear here in January
to answer to the charge of conspir-
acy to defraud the State, perjury
and bribery. Weiskopf is the head
of the concern which put through
the famous label transaction. He
sold the State dispensary twenty-one
million labels, receiving therefor
$35,677. The Investigating commit
tee at that time put in evidence the
claim that the State was overcharged
about $4,000. 1t Is now stated that
the attorney general has evidence
to show that not only were the calcu-
lations correct, but that he knows
where every dollar of the graft went
and that Weiskopf's rake-off was
about $1,000.
Weiskopf was indicted along with
others on the charge of conspiracy
to defraud the State, and when he
did not appear here at the recent
term Of court a bench warrant was
issued for his arrest. Gov. Ansel
upon this warrant made requisition
upon Gov. Judson Harmon Of Ohio
for the arrest and delivery Of Weis-
kopf's person to the agents of the
State. Gov. Harmon last week, after
careful Investigation, honored the re-
QUESTION, and Weiskopf became a
prisoner of the State of South Caro-
lima.

President Taft apparently was led
into a serious blunder in the closing

when he changed his attitude on the

an open letter addressed TO the chlef

time ago, was made public a few
DAYS ago., following its Endorsement
by the International and Daily Press
association. MI. Riders letter fol
lows:
"To the President:
THE full text of your address at
Winona, Mimi, on the tariff bill
passed just come to hand. With
the utmost respect We submit that
your statement respecting the paper
schedule shows that you could not
have correctly read or understood
what the print paper paragraph con-
tanned, as it passed the house OF rep
resentativeS.
You were apparently misled by
designing men into a serious blum
der when, in the closing days OF the
tariff conference, they induced you
to reverse your previous attitude on
print paper, and changed your no.
lions of what the Mann committee
recommended and of what the house
of representatives had approved. The
Mann committee, after a 1O-months
investigation marked by unusual
thoroughness, reported that a rate OF
