THINKS HAvIRD's STORY TRUE
Neighbor Says Man Did Not Kill His
Own Mule.

The State.
Saluda, May 4.-There have been
some interesting developments in the
Pope B. Havird affair.
Mr.. Charlie Smith, who lives near
Havird's home, was here yesterday
and states that it is evident some one
did kill Havird s mule, as claimed by
Ravird, for the direction Of the shots
from the bushes can be traced through
the underground WI here, Havird as
serts, the shots came from.
He further says that an empty shell
was found near where the shots came
from and that a party who was sew
eral hundred yards away says he saw
some coming from a point beyond
where Havird and his mule we're at
the time Of the shooting.
Havird is still in Jail, where he was
placed by the sheriff and Deputy
Padgett on the day after the alleged
killing by some one of the mule.
1t now appears that Havird resist
ed arrest and drew his gun on the Of
ficers and in addition to being held
in jail under warrant for trespass
after notice is also held for obstruct-
ing public highway and for resisting
arrest.
AS was stated in this correspon-
dence Havird was out on bond in the
sum of $4,000, charged with killing
negro some ten years ago, a true
bill having been found against him
here at the December term Of court
and*a change Of venue having been
granted by Judge Shipp after hearing
motion therefor.
Yesterday Messrs. J. S. Merchant
and James Mitchell, who were on this
bond of Havird s, informed the clerk
of court that they desired to be re-
leased therefrom and Havird is now
in the custody of the sheriff until he
can again make bond for this charge.

CONVENIENCE OF CHECK-BOOK

If she keeps her handbook prop

Of bookkeeping. To be accurate it
is necessary to deposit all money re-

The spirit which animates the tenn

the Individual, be he who he may, but
deep-seated antipathy toward the
evils, physical, social, intellectual, and
moral, toward the liquor traffic in all
of its branches. The temperance

toward the solving Of this problem.
He will never give it up until it is
solved, and solved correctly.

Mother hearts all over the country
have been athrill with sympathy for
the parents of little Willie Whitla of
Sharon, Pa, who was kidnapped
some time ago and held for ransom
of $4,000. The money was paid,
promptly and with promise of i'm
munity from betrayal for the kid
nappers by the grief-stricken father
who knew no desire save the reeov-
cry of his son. Happily, for the safe
ty of other children, the officers of
the law were under no restrictions in
the matter, the State offered re-
ward of $4,000, and the conspirators
were speedily under arrest, and will,
no doubt, receive adequate punish
ment.
The circumstance is not without
profit. States will enact more strin-
gent laws for the punishment of kid
nappers; teachers will inquire more
closely into the purpose Of anyone
who calls for a child from the school
room; parents will instruct children
more fully as to the unwisdom of ac-
cepting attentions from strangers;
and children themselves will be more
wary, at least while the memory Of
Willie Whitla's experience lasts.
Btu what of the parents whose chill
dren are hopelessly lost to them
through the channels of degradation
that flourish under the license sys-
tenn? A kings ransom cannot re-
store lost soul! And he State Of
fers no reward for the rescue of sons
and daughters who are victims Of the
vice upon which it puts a premium!
Not many fathers are able to pay
$4,000 for the recovery Of a child,
lost or stolen, but every father has
vote to cast for Or against eondl-
tions that menace the welfare Of his
children. Let him register his pro-
test against the traffic in humanity,
under whatever guise 1T may be con-

1875 that gave counties and cities
bordering on the gulf the rlgnt
to issue bonds and build sea
walls and breakwaters. On
August 20, 1886 a great storm
swept Galveston and a few days
later Judge Ballinger addressed
an open letter to the people OF
the city calling their attention
to the constitutional provision
and enjoining them to build a
sea wall for protection from the
waters. This letter stirred up a
newspaper discussion, but moth
was done. Judge Ballinger dled
before the terrible catastrophe
of September, 1900, came, but as
soon as that storm had passed
his appeal was remembered and
his plan was resurrected and put
into execution.
In November of 1901 the Gal
weston commissioners appointed
as a Board of Engineers Brig.
Gen. H. M. Robert, u. S. A.
(retired), Alfred Noble and h.
C. Ripley, all great engineers, to
devise plan for the protection
of the city. In January, 1902,
this board SUBMITTED a plan call
ing for the construction OF a
concrete sea wall and the raising
of the city 5 grade. The grade
raising was intended both to
furnish a solid backing for the
wall and 10 bring the houses and
street levels above any flood that
might come. The county of
Galveston built the sea wall and
the city, with the aid Of the
state, did the grade raising.
The sea wall, which cost ST.
900. 900. is II, 593 feet in length
and is built on piling founda-
ton driven 43 feet in the ground,
below mean water, with a double
thickness Of sheet piling on the
gulf side. The wall is Is feet
wide at the base, 16 feet high
and 5 feet wide at the top. Every
3 l-2 feet there are steel re-en-
forcing rods. In front Of the
wall is granite riprapping 27feet
wide and from three to seven
feet thick. The top Of the wall
is one and $40 feet higher than
the water rose in the flood OF
September, 1900. the highest
water known at Galveston.
The city issued 100000 IN
bonds to raise the grade and the
S tate granted $4,000 a
year for Il years to aid the city
in taking care Of these bonds.
The great fill is eight feet above
mean tide on the bay side of the
city and rises to II feet at the
sea wall On the gulf side.
We can get IN idea of what
Galveston has had to do if we
imagine Little Rock subject to
overflow by the Arkansas river
and suppose we had built a wall
10 feet high and between three
and four miles long to keep out
floods and then had raised the
grade of the whole city of Little
Rock from 8 feet on one side TO
II feet on the other.
Galveston has paid a great
price for these works, but they
are worth the price. as was
proven in the storm of Wednes-
day. But for these new defenses
against the sea Galveston might
now be filled with death and
destruction.
