Don't be q KnOcker.

If there is any chance to boom

smile and look for better things. Hide
your little hammer and try to speak
we'll of others, no matter how small

friend of him. Tell him this is the
greatest town on ,earth-and it is.
Lead him to believe he has at last
struck a place where white people
live.
Don't knock.
Help yourself along by becoming
popular, and push your friends with
you. It's dead easy. Be good fel-
low and soon you'll have process
sion of followers: You can't climb
the ladder of success by treading on

There is no end Of fun minding

on a knocker.
And God bless the friendly.

INDIGNATION in Oconee.

Walhalla, Jan. 4.-Mann Phillips,
yoL. e white man, was found dead
two miles south of Walhalla yester.
day afternoon. Officers and an Inn.
mense crowd rushed to the scene. II
was seen at once that young Phillips
had been murdered and clue was
started that led to the arrest last
night of two young men, Dewitt ana
Cleo Vandiver of Westminster.
Taking testimony OF inquisitlon
has been postponed until tomorrow,
when Solicitor Boggs will be pres
ent.
It is believed that Phillips was kill
ed Thursday night and carried dead
or dying to the place where he was
found, as tracks Of several others
were seen there. The only wound
was stab in the heart. Young Phil
lips had on his overcoat and heavy
driving gloves and no knife was
found upon his person.
This murder has stirred the com.
munity as it has never been stirred
before and wild rumors of sensa.
tional nature are afoat everywhere.
Mann Phillips formerly lived here
and is well connected. The. Vandivers'
people are among the most promi-
nent in the county.

Wife q Business Partner.

A farmer should remember that
his wife is business partner. She
makes the butter, helps prepare
things for market, is a watch dog for
the premises when he is away, and
assists with the poultry and garden;
and when he secretly signs away
money she has helped to earn, he Is
cheating his partner as well as rob-
bing his wife; and it is an ofense
the law would not tolerate in any
other co-partnership, nor should 1t
in this. There is a law which pre-
vents a man from selling his farm
without his wife's signature, and II
sounds as If a wife was Of some i'm
portance; but it is rendered non-ef-
fective as preservative of her home
from the fact that he can mortgage
it and endorse other mems papers to
any extent without her knowledge
or consent, and thus dispose of the
family possessions-and the sheriff
can sell, and she has no right that
he is bound to respect This statute
is a mockery until it Is supplemented
by another making mans signature
as security invalid when written
without his wife's approval; and
still another making it illegal for
him to mortgage the farm to pay
debts that she has no knowledge OF.

KILLING IN LEXINGTON.
Taylor Pepps Dies from Wound In
flicted by Pink Tobias.

Lexington, Dec. 30.-Coroner
Clarke returned from the Dutch Fork
this afternoon, where he had gone to
hold an inquest over the dead body OF
Taylor Pepps, negro who was shot
by Pink Tobias. another negro, on
Saturday night, December 19, and
who died early yesterday morning
from the effects of the wound.
From the testimony adduced at the
inquest it seems that the trouble oc-
Cured about woman and that
whiskey played no little part in the
killing. There were several other
negroes in the house at the time OF
the trouble, but the coroner was un-
able to make them tell true story
of the crime. Nearly all of the wit
nesses testified that Pepps and Tobias
had a free-for-all fight in the house
which lasted for 10 or Is minutes.
There was a single-barreled shotgun
standing in the corner Of the room,
and both made an effort to get the
gun, Tobias finally beating Pepps to
it. The shot was fired at close range
and the entire load took effect in the
left thigh, which resulted in the
lockjaw. Both were under the In
death of Pepps, he having died from
fiuence of whiskey. Deputy Sheriff
Miller brought Tobias to Jail this af-
ternoon. They both worked on the
plantation of Mr.. W. c. Huffman.
The jury returned verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts, that the said
Taylor Pepps came to his death by a
gunshot wound in the hands of Pink
Tobias.

Refused to Pay Poll Tax.

Lexington, Jan. 5.-The noted T.
ID. Mitchell, who has so often been In
the tolls for offenses Of various
kinds, was arrested here Monday for
refusal to pay poll tax. Mitchell is
now said to be resident Of Colum-
bia, but resided in this county, at
Brookland, in 1907. Mitchell posi-
lively refused to pay the treasurer,
claiming that he was not resident
of this county and therefore, was not
liable to pay a poll. County Treas
urer Shealey promptly went before
Magistrate Derrick and had a war
rant issued for Mitchell. The war
rant was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Corley, who made the arrest.
He was given a hearing before Magis-
trate Derrick and was ordered to
pay his tax and also a fine Of 81 and
all costs. Mitchell paid the fine and
was released.
Yesterday Archie Wilson, another
white man, who resides near New
Brookland, was arrested upon the
same charge. He was given hear
ing before Magistrate Derrick and
was fined 81 and all costs and order
ed to pay his poll.
This makes the third case that has
come before the officers for non-pay-
ment Of poll tax.

Hunters Case in Supreme Court.

Columbia, Jan. An the supreme
court to-day arguments were heard
for a new trial for G. Wash Hunter,
now under sentence Of eight years
for manslaughter. The case in some
respects is a remarkable one. Hunt
er, who is prominently connected
with families of Laurens county, kill
ed Ed Copeland about two years ago
over a game of cards. On his hrst
trial he was convicted Of manslaugh-
ter, but new trial was granted and
he was afterwards tried three times
in Laurens, each time a mistrlal re-
sulting. Finally the State obtained
a change of venue to Greenwood
county and he was found guilty OF
manslaughter and sentenced to eight
years, The appeal is on the charge
of the Judge and the adminission OF
certain testimony. Hunter was IN
the court, being out on bail, pending
a decision, while the arguments were
made; a decision will be rendered
later.

Minus Remains at Clemson.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Capt. Jo-
siah c.. Minus will remain as COM
mandant of cadets at Clemson, al
though retired from active servica In
the army. An order was to-day is
sued by the adjutant general of the
army redetailing Capt. Minus for
duty at Clemson. Retired officers OF
the army are frequently detailed for
active service, in which case they re-
ceive full pay, but such service is al
ways voluntary on the officers part.
In this case Capt. Minus requested
the detail, but as it is an assignment
by courtesy to the State and not to
the regular duties of the army, Clem-
son College will have to make its own
special arrangements with Capt.
Minus, which doubtless the authori-
ties have made.

TWO TOWNS VOTE "DRY."
South Boston and Houston, Va, Gust
Saloons.

Danville, Va, Dec. 31.-Banlster
district, in Halifax county, which
comprises the towns of South Boston
and Houston, located eight miles
apart, voted dry by majority OF 134
in a total vote of about 730 cast to-
day in the local option election.
The election means the abolition OF
eight saloons in South Boston, which
pay city tax of five hundred dollars
each and two saloons in Houston pay
ing tax of a thousand each, and one
brewery and two distilleries. South
Boston smajority was sixty-eight and
Houston's sixty-six for the dry ticket:
Since the voting out Of liQnor In
many of the cities of Virginia and

been doing a large mail order ship
ping business into prohibition terri
tory. This election to-day will likely
be contested.

Stenographer Appointed.

Mr.. E. A. Brown, of Aiken, will be
the new stenographer of the second
circuit. Mr.. H. N. Bellinger, who
was an applicant for the position, re-
ceived a letter yesterday morning
from Judge Robert Aldrich stating
that the result of the competitive ex-
animation was in favor Of Mr.. Brown
and he would therefore appoint him.
Mr.. Bellinger's many friends in this
city expected him to be the ap-
pointee, and they will regret that
Judge Aldrich did not appoint him.
We all know that he is fully compe-
tent, and if the result of the exami-
nation showed that he was compe-
tent, his friends here think he
should have received the appoint
ment, as Bamberg has never had
anything In the second district.
Aiken has had the Judge all along,
and now that county has the sol1c1-
tor and stenographer. Judge Aldrieh
has treated Bamberg rather shabbily
we think in this matter.

WANT NEW COUNTY.
People of Hartsville Start Agitation
for Cutting the Older Districts.

Darlington, Jan. 2.-"Hartsville
county," or Cocker county" is the
latest in new counties.
Much work has been and is still
being done in figuring, calculating,
and surveying the proposed boun-
daries, property values and popula-
ton of the new proposition. Earts-
vile, of course, is the proposed
county seat of the new county. The
territory is to be taken largely from
Chesterfield county and small areas
from Darlington and Lee. The great
est difficulty, it seems, that is being
encountered is to get a sufficient
amount Of Darlington county's terri
tory to include Hartsville in the new
county and still leave Darlington
with the constitutional limits as to
territory.
Auditor ]. P. Mozingo, Jr., says
that the taxable acreage in Darling
ton county is about 523 miles. The
minimum constitutional limit for old
counties is 500 miles. To run lines
down into Darlington county from
the Chesterfield side 80 as to include
Hartsville and at the same time leave
the minimum limit in Darlington
would result in the new county's hav-
ing something like the boot of Italy
on it's southern side-in which the
court house would be located, thus
having it in one corner of the coun-
ty, a matter of complaint against a
great many of the; old counties.
Hartsville. is a growing, progress
sive town, filed with young, live and
energetic business men who are
pushing it's interest in most ag-
gressive manner, and they are de-
serving OF the very best, that Is in
store for them. Unless, however,
the constitutional limitations are
changed, it is difficult to see how the
laudable ambition of the Cokerites
can be gratif1ed at this time.
Whether proper or improper, the
new project will doubtless meet with
much opposition from the mother
counties, and many will be the trials
and tribulations encountered before
the denizens of Hartsville will have
the pleasure of having court house
in their corporate limits.

dred bales of cotton were destroyed
and 1000 bales seriously damaged in
warehouse fire at the Spartan Mills
yesterday afternoon. The good work
Of the fire department prevented a
total loss. The damage is covered by

The fire originated in warehouse
No. Z and evidently had been burning
for some time, for when the fire de.
partment arrived great volumes OF
smoke were issuing from the crevices
in the building. The cotton was
packed into the building clear to the
doorways and it was impossible to
gain an entrance. Bib holes were
cut in the tin roof and several
streams of water were placed on the

Coroner's Jury Holds Vandivers.

Walhalla, Jan. o.-An inquest was
held to-day over the body of Mann
Phillips and the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was that Mann Phillips
came to his death at the hands of
Cleo Vandiver and that Dewitt Van
diver was accessory.
This verdict was reached after
more than rs witnesses had been
sworn in the presence of the largest
crowd that has ever gathered in
Oeonee's court house. None Of these
were eye-witnesses, but most of them
stated only what the Vandiver boys
had told upon their return to West
Minister on Thursday night with Phil
lips missing. Many of the witnesses
stated that Cleo Vandiver had told
them that he had had a row with
Phillips, had knocked him out of the
hack, had jumped upon and knitted
him, that Phillips had got up and
walked away. Dewitt Vandiver had
severe cut on one of his hands and
| had stated that his brother had cut
him in his endeavor to get to Phil
lips.
Little did these witnesses dream
at the time that Phillips was lying
dead several miles away.
Phillips and the two Vandivers
had left Westminster together, Phil
lips driving the hack. They had
gone to dance and had started
home when a row was raised about
what no one has told. All three
were said to have been more or less
under the influence of whiskey.
Solicitor Boggs represented the
State at the inquest and Maj. W. j.
Stribling and Col. r. T. Jaynes the
defendants. What the defense will
be is not known. It is going to be a
| hard fought case. Interest Is intense
and immense.
