MOST FATAL DISEASE.
Consumption Kills More People in
Augusta Than All Others.

Augusta, Jan. 1S.-The most fatal
disease in Augusta in 1908 was con-
sumption, or tuberculosis as the
board of health authorities term it.
Out of every eight and five-tenths
deaths during the year, one resulted
from the dreaded white Plague.
Records of the department show that
the spread Of the disease Is not be-
ing restricted, to any material extent.
The ratio of tuberculosis to mortality
has, within the past Is years, been
only a little greater than it was in
1908.
During the fiscal or board OF
health year of 1908, SCI people died.
OF these deaths 101 were due to tu-
berculosis.

Found Dead.

Found Dead.
Seattle, Wash, JAM. Nv. l..
Seeley, an attorney and former nat
ional bank examiner for Illinois, his
wife, Mrs. Kate M. Seeley, a member
of the Daughters OF the American
Revolution, and her daughter, Miss
Irene Seeley, a student at the Uni
versity of Washington, were found
dead in a bath room of their home in
the fashionable Capital Hill quarter
today.
The victims had been dead since
last Thursday. The women, clad
in night robes, had apparently been
murdered with a hammer. There
was no mark Of violence on Seeley.
He is believed to have been partly
chlcroformed and then drowned in
the bath tub.
That Seeley killed his wife and
daughter while insane over worries
and then committed suicide is the
theory of the police. His night
gown, blood stained from the bodies
of the two women, was found be-
meath clean pillow in the room oc-
cupied by him and his wife. The
pillow on which Mrs. Seeley had been
sleeping was saturated with blood.
Seelpy came here less than two
years ago from St. Joseph, Mo. He
moved there from Ottawa, Ill. He
was SIS years old, his wife about
three years his junior, and his
daughter %.
The bodies were found by Guy M
Smelzer, affianced husbs'l of Miss
Seeley, and E. R. Seibbel, a friend
of the family. The family could not
be communicated with after o'clock
Thursday night, when Smelzer talk
ed over the telephone with Miss
Seeley.
Although keeping up the appear
ance cf prosperity, Seeley had been
forced to borrow money for his last
months house rent from w. w
Wiltshire, an attorney, from whom
he rented desk room in the New
York building.
Detectives were unable to find any
blood-stained implements in the
house, although hammer was
found. No article of jewelry or any
thing or value was taken. Every
window and door was securely lock-
ed

Choked His Wife to Death While
She Slept.
TWO MEN ARE I'M JAIL
At Aiken Charged With the Awful
Crime-Verdict Of Coroner's Jury
Results in Holding of the Wo-
mans Husband as Principal and
Another Man as Accessory.

Aiken, Jan. 17.-Coroner John
son returned to Aiken last night
from Sleepy Hollow, bringing Sow
ereign Lowe and Lee Boyd, both
white, who were placed in iail,
charged with the murder of Rainey
Lowe, wife of Sovereign Lowe, at
loves home in the Sleepy Hollow
section. The arrests were made as
result of an inquest held yester-
Gay afternoon by Coroner Johnson
! and a post mortem examination con-
Quoted by physician. Mrs. Lowe
| died last Sunday night, and was in
tered on Monday; but at the re-
quest Of Mrs. Counts, of Augusta,
mother of Mrs. Lowe, the authori-
ties had the body disinterred yester-
day and an inquest held.
The evidence at. the inquest show
ed that on Sunday night Lowe came
| to his home accompanied by Boyd,
both being in drunken condition.
During the night Alfred Glover, a
negro residing nearby, heard wo-
man in loves house and begging
for her life. The screams were also
heard by other parties. Next morn
ing the woman was found dead.
Mrs. Counts came over from Angus
ia and said that she found bruises
on the throat and body Of her daugh-
ter. and was not satisfied as to her
death. After the burial she became
so convinced that something was
wrong that she came to Aiken and
asked for an investigation.
Boyd and Lowe both testified to
coming to loves house in drunk
en- condition, and said that they re-
tired soon after arriving. During
the night, Boyd said, he went to
loves bed, called him and told
him to get up, that he had long
way to go to his home and that he
must have an early start. Lowe
got up, and when ne looked at the
clock he saw that it was 8 o'clock
and they went back to bed early
Monday morning.
Lowe said that he called to his
wife, who was sleeping with him,
and that she did not answer. He
shook her and found that she was
cold. He then called Boyd and they
found her dead. When testifying,
Lowe Is said to have almost broken
down. The examining physician
found bruises on Mrs. loves throat
and body, and that there had been
sufficient external violence to have
produced death. The verdict Of the
jury was that the deceased came to
her death from choking at the hands
of Lowe as principal and Boyd as
accessory.
The two men staunchly maintained
their innocence. Lowe is about 25
years of age and Boyd some years
younger Boyd is unmarried. The
deceased was the mother Of four
children, the youngest of whom is
only seven months old, and was her
self about % years old. The case
has created a good deal Of interest
here, and any further developments
will be closely watched.-News and

Stored in One.

unique deposit was made at one of
the local banks here yesterday just
before the clock struck the closing
hour. A well-to-do farmer Of Broad
away township, who is considered
a good business man and prosper
Gus one, walked into the bank, and
in his hand held little brown jug,
stopped up with an ordinary corn
cob
The cashier pulled out the corn
cob, and protruding out of the neck
of the jug was a crisp ten dollar
bill. The cashier then got busy and
with The assistance Of all the clerks
in the Office managed to draw out
$1,000 in new bills, resorting to
a hat pin to extricate the money.
The farmer had decided on this
unique way of keeping his money for
deposit.

a greater profit If the gain made
from October to the time they were
voted out had been reported. Ches-
terfield county showed the usual
profit at the time it was closed, but
the stock had to be sold at con-
siderable discount, which accounts
for the very small profit shown
above.

COUNTY SYSTEM
D1spENsARY PROVES A GOOD
MONEY MAKER.
The Old State Dispensary Had More


Dispensaries but Less Profits.
Sales by Counties.
The following tabulated statement
Of gross sales and net profits for the
years 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906 is
given by Dispensary Auditor West in
his report, together with a similar
statement of the business done under
the county dispensary system for
che years 1907 and 1908 for the pur
pose of comparison. 1t will be noted,
however, that the year 1907 en-
braces only about nine months, since
the law did not go into effect until
March 1, and many of the dispen-
saries were not open for business for
two or three months following. The
year 1908 is complete from January
1 to December 81, inclusive.
November, 1903-Number Of dis
pensaries, 1873; sales, s2,4S9,S94.79;
total net profit, S63S,4S2.35.
November, 19O4-Number of dis
pensaries, LAG; sales, s3,O12,402.-
SO; total net profit, s775,375.95.
November, 19O5-Number of dis
pensaries, 145; sales, s3,122,796.09;
total net profit, sS70,31S.07.
November, l906-Number of dis
pensaries, 1872; sales, s2,5S5,137.16;
total not profits, S575,975.94.
March to December 80, 1907
Number of dispensaries, 100; sales,
1851, ,663.43; total net profits,
s6e5,O56.61.
January i to December 81, 1908
Number Of dispensaries, 90; sales,
S3,644,214.S1; total net profits,
$934,600.9O.
From this it will be seen that
the profits Of so dispensaries were
much lagrer than the profits of las
dispenaries under the old State dis
pensary system. A large part Of this
total net profit under the old system
really never materialiZed on account
of the method of crediting the school
fund as an asset.

the Character Of the Officials He
May Appoint in the South, and He
Will Bear Them in Mind After
March.

Atlanta, Jan. 16.-President-ele
Taft attended big banquet in At
lanta Friday night, given in his hon
or. Judge Taft had given care to
the preparation of his banque-
speech, regarding it as his important
utterance of the day, and in its de-
livery he followed his manuscript
closely.
Mr.. Taft said with feeling that
he was proud to have been the first
revolution candidate for the Presl-
dency who had carried his canvas
south of Mason's and Dixon's line.
''In the presence Of Democrats ana
Republicans here at a non-partisan
banquet expressing the welcome OF
the whole community, it would neilh-
er be courteous nor appropriate for
me to go into a partisan discussion, .
Mr.. Taft continued. II can only
refer to the fact with qualification
and congratulation that today the
expression of any political Tiews IN
the South is possible without in
volving social ostricism or any of the
penalties with which it might have
been visited in earlier times. Ten
years have made great difference
in the situation which the controll-
ing people Of the South occupy TO-
wards the North and the govern
ment.
The President-elect then summar-
lied the causes which had worked
and were affecting the change-tEe
Spanish war; the attitude of Me-
Kinley, his lovable character and the
principles he stood for in his cam
paign; the succession Of Roosevelt
with his Georgia mother; and final
ly the wonderful business develop
