Stolen Silver Recovered.

Anderson, Oct. "a recovery of
a large amount of silverware has been
made by Chief of Police W. N. Scott
of the local police force. On April
29, 1909, nearly two years ago, the
home of Chas A. Davis, in Atlanta,
Ca, was robbed of lot of silverware.
Several days ago the police detectives
in Atlanta arrested negro who con-
fessed to being one Of the burglars,
and told where and how he had dis
posed of the things stolen. Part of
the silverware, he said, was sold to
a negro in Anderson Immediately
after the burglary occurred. When
this confession was made Mr.. Davis
a day or two ago wrote to Chief Scott
here to investigate. Chief Scott
found all the silverware that was
missing, but also found about dozen
extra pieces, all bearing the same en-
graved initials, those Of Mrs. Davis.
The Anderson negro bought the sill
yer for $1O.50 he says, and it is easily
worth $50 or $50. The local negro
packed the silver away in his trunk
when he purchased it nearly two
years ago, and he had never used any
of it. He turned it over to Chief
Scott without any resistance, and it
will be sent to Mr.. Davis in Atlanta
Immediately.

Soldiers Protecting Negro.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 5.-Sol
diers with bayonets fixed are patroll
ing the streets of Montgomery con
tiguous to the jail and heavy armed
passe is inside the jail guarding John
Adams, a negro, who this afternoon
shot and killed Patrolman T. W. Ber'
ry and seriously wounded Officer l.
A. Ellington.
On the streets away from the pa
trolled districts are gathered crowds
of men discussing the assassination
but they lack leaders, and it is not
believed any attempt will be made tt
rush the Jail tonight. Two other
companies now sleeping on their
arms at the armory, can be instantly
called out. The instructions to all
the soldiers and deputies are to shoot
at the first movement on the Jail.
Adams was shot through the lung
by Officer Ellington after he had shot
the officer, the latter using his left
hand in handling his gun.
Adams is said to be dying.
The officers went to his home to
arrest him on a awrrant, charging
larceny of funds belonging to a
lodger.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS
Among Southern States in Produc'
ton of Rough Granite.

Columbia, Oct. 8.-South Carolina
leads the South in production of
rough monumental stone and riprap,
according to bulletin just issued
by the United States geological sur
vey on the GRANTEES of the South
eastern Atlantic States.
The chief granite producing States
are North Carolina, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and South Carolina, their an
nual output being valued at S3,-
100000. This compares with the
production of the New England
States in the ratio of 37s to g.
North Carolina leads the South on
granite building stone quarried.
Maryland produces immense quanti-
ties of granite road metal, railway
ballast, concrete stone and paving
blocks. Virginia quarries the most
granite railway ballast. Some OF the
best Southern granite beds remain
unexploited. They lie in mountain
regions, far from railroads.

Kerosene Cure for Hook Worm.

New York, Oct 6.-John D. Rookie
feller got the surprise of his life
yesterday. The commission of scien-
lists to which he gave 100000 for
the purpose of finding out the best
way to eradicate hook worm in the
south sent a preliminary report to
him, in which a real live cure for the
microbe that breeds laziness was nam
ed.
The cure is within reach of all, for
it costs but a few cents a gallon. In
cidentally, whether one is a hook
worm victim or only an humble vic
tim of the trusts seeking light by
means of oil, he must buy it from the
Standard Oil Company just the same.
Mr.. Rockefeller gave s1,O0o,0OO
for a hook worm cure on October 26'
1909. Twelve scientists took the
money and organized the Rockefeller
commission for the eradication OF
the hook worm disease.
1t chased the festive uncinariniasls
as his worship is known to science
from Mason and Dixon's line right
into the delta of the Mississippi.
Then from New Orleans the scien-
lists sent the word they had found
the cure-kerosene.

Two Counties go for Joe Brown.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. ~5.-Hoke Smith
was to-day elected to serve a second
term as governor Of Georgia. 1ncom-
plete returns indicate that Governor
Joseph NJ. Brown, who was defeated
for the gubernatorial nomination in
the August Democratic primary and
whose name was to-day placed before
the voters as an independent Demo-
cratic candidate probably received a
majority of the votes cast in two OF
the 146 counties of the State. All of
the regular Democratic nominees for
State and county offices were elected,
the vote for the socialist ticket being
inconsequential.
Three constitutional amendments
were apparently adopted by large ma
iorities. One of these provides that
counties may levy taxes in support
of high schools, the others being To-
cal in effect.
The disaffeotion in the Georgia
Democracy manifested in the opposi-
ton to the regular nominee for gov
ernor, was the most serious party
split in many years and resulted in
to-day's vote being much larger than
that normally polled in a general
election. Governor Brown stated
that the action of Thomas E. Watson
and others in placing his name be-
fore the voters as an Independent
was without his authorization, but he
declined to state whether or not he
would serve if elected. He announc-
ed, however, that he would support
the nominees of the party.
Tom Watson's home county, Nc
Duffie, went for Smith by vote of
nearly two to one.

bing J. NJ. Sumaga, millionaire

GIVES BLOOD TO SAVE SISTER.
Wofford Professor Gave up Pint of
His Blood.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 9.-After suffer-
ing with pellagra for two years, Mrs.
NJ. E. Bush, of Milledgeville, Ca,
may be restored to health as the re-
suit of her two brothers giving up
their blood in aid of the TRANSMISSION
theory, which the attending physici-
ans had decided was the last hope OF
saving her life.
Robert L. Virgins, professor OF
English at Wofford College, Spartan
burg, S. c., went on the operating
table to-day at the local hospital,
where Mrs. Bush is a patient, and
gave up a pint of blood in the effort
to. save her life. Two days ago an
other brother, the Rev. Sterling P.
Virgins, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church, at Milledgeville, made a
similar sacrifice for Mrs. Bush.
Before the first infusion Mrs.
Bush's pulse registered 160. Almost
Immediately following the operation
it dropped to 125 and her tempera-
ture fell from 103 2-5 to 101.
After the operation to-day the at
tending physicians announced that
Mrs. Bush's condition was very en-
couraging. 1t was also announced
that the recent experiments with
blood infusion in Mobile, Ala, had
resulted in at least half dozen cures
in nellagra cases.

Identifies Men on Circus Train.

Lexington, Oct. 5.-Felton Gilbert,
the negro who was brought over from
Columbia last night and who alleges
that he was attacked and thrown
from the circus train on Saturday
night, was given an opportunity to
say who his assailants were to-day.
Several of the men were carried be-
fore him in the presence of the sher-
in and the special agents Of the
Southern railway. He at once recog-
nized three of them, stating In posi-
tive terms that they were the ones
who assaulted him. The negroes ac-
cused remained silent. Neither Of
them had anything to say as to his
guilt or innocence. The negroes who
Gilbert says assaulted him are coal
black. Each of the accused gave his
name after Gilbert pointed him out,
but the officers refuse to divulge the
names now.
Ralph Ingle, of Peru, Ind, Carl
Shiftlet, of Atlanta, and John Dennis,
of Massachusetts,, three of the young
white men who were lodged in Jail
last night, pleaded guilty to the
charge of riding a freight train with
out ticket in Magistrate Thos. l..
Harman's court this afternoon and
each sentenced to serve 20 days on
the county chain gang or to pay a fine
of $40 each.
These were the young men picked
up at Graniteville yesterday, it being
thought at the time that they had
some connection with the killing Of
Paul A. Williams on the circus train
on Saturday night last. Later inves-
LEGATIONS, however, revealed the fact
that the three boarded freight train
at Cayce yesterday morning, and that
there could possibly be nothing that
could connect them with the murder.

TAKES HIS LIFE.
Desperado, After Wounding Two Of
ficers, Kills Himself.

Ocala, Fla, Oct. 5.-After fatally
wounding Deputy Sheriff Hudson and
ex-Sheriff Gordon at his home in the
suburbs of Ocala, William Summerlin
placed the muzzle of a Winchester
rifle in his mouth and blew his head
off.
For three hours Summerlin was
barricaded in his house, where he
successfully resisted the efforts of the
police department and sheriffs and
sheriff's deputies to arrest him. Fir
ing on every person in sight, it was
finally decided by the officers to call
out the Ocala Rifles and surround the
house.
Find Desperate Dead.
This was done and shortly after
nightfall the Gordon closed in, the
door was broken down and Summer
Inns body was found lying on the
floor with half his head blown off.
Eearly in the afternoon Deputy
Sheriff Hudson went to Summerlin' g
home to serve a warrant for some
minor offense. Summerlin warned
the officer not to come into his yard,
and when Hudson started in he was
shet down. Ex-Sheriff Gordon, hear
ing the shot, went to the assistance
of Hudson.
While bending over the PROSTATE
form of the deputy, Gordon was shot
down, the bullet inaicting a fatal
wound. Seeing the two men lying
PROSTATE, Summerlin left the house
and secured the rifle carried by Dep
uty Hudson.
= Resists Arrest.
Barricading himself, he offered
stubborn resistance to all who at
tempted his arrest.
A large crowd quickly gathered
around the house, keeping a safe dis
tance, as Summerlin fired at every one
in sight A guard was thrown around
the house and several volleys were
poured into it. Shortly after nightfall
a concerted movement was made to
capture Summerlin. A rush was
made for the door. 1t was quickly
battered in. Inside the body of
Summerlin was found Weltering in a
pool of his own blood. He had placed
the muzzle of the rife in his mouth
and fired.
The two wounded officers were
hurried to local hispital, where an
examination was made and their con-
dition announced as critical.

HEAVY PENALTY FOR SIN.
White Mother of Negro Baby Turned
Out of Two Hotels.

Sitting in the squalid room of a
cheap lodging house near the South
ern railway station last night, a
young woman leaned over a baby
which lay on a bed beside her and
said: "The buzzards will be picking
us tomorrow, darling"
The baby chuckled and gurgled and
kicked out it's little legs. In a storm
of anguish the young woman picked
up the mite of humanity and kissed
it. Then she calmed down and soft
ly crooned lullaby.
The woman was white; the baby
was negro.
A more revolving story than this
young woman's or a problem more
difficult of solution than hers was
probably never presented to the Spar
tanburg police. 1t *as story of sin
and its punishment.
The woman did not find a resting
place for herself and her baby until
she had been turned out of two other
places and had faced the bitterest
scorn and humiliation. She felt it
the more keenly because she had
once been respected here.
When she arrived here yesterday
afternoon she went to the Spartan
Cafe, on Magnolia street, near the
station. She was neatly dressed, of
refined appearance and we'll spoken.
She was given a room but an at
tendant had a glance at the baby's
face and demanded an explanation.
She said she came from Lynchburg,
Va, and had been sent here by a
hospital to find somebody who would
adopt the baby.
The management Of the cafe was
dissatisfied with her story and called
in Policeman Cudd. The problem
was too hard for him and he sum-
moned a physician.
In the meantime, howevre, the wo-
man and her baby had ben ordered
to leave the cafe. The policeman
took her to nearby hotel. The ba-
by's face was covered with a hand
kerchief and all went we'll until the
wife of the proprietor Of the place
entered the room to see that every
thing was in good condition. Wo-
man-like, she lifted the handkerchief.
She was about to make some pleasant
remark, but her tongue was stilled
by a look at the child. Without a
word she walked out of the room.
The physician has had consider
able experience with babies and it
did not take him long to come to the
conclusion that the woman was the
mother. He taxed her with it, and
she broke down and confessed. She
told terrible story.
She comes of respectable people.
She lived in Spartanburg several
years ago and was married in this
city to a travelling man. They left
Spartanburg and later separated. She
does not know where he is.
The woman went to Asheville and
obtained employment in sanitarium.
It was there she met the negro,
the father of the child.-Spartanburg

Primary Regulations.

The Bamberg Herald, the Newber-
ry Observer, The Greenwood Index
The Spartanburg Journal and various
other South Carolina newspapers are
urging that the rules governing the
holding of elections under the Demo-
cratic primary in this State ought to
be so amended as to permit only vo-
ters who are qualified to participate
in the general election to take part in
the primaries. The Spartanburg
Journal thinks that the opportunity
for fraud would be minimized by re-
vising the registration lists every two
years and that no voter who has not
enough interest to enroll his name
and get a certificate should be allow
ed to vote in the primary election.
The Newberry Observer thinks like
wise. ''The primary plan is the right
plan for selecting officers" it says,
but since that is the real election it
ought to have the real rules" 9th
erwise The Observer does not think
the primary can be preserved. The
Bamberg Herald thinks that "the pri-
mary system as now conducted does
give room for crooked work, and it
often happens that the best man is
not elected" The Herald holds fur
ther that "the people who own the
property and pay the taxes, thus bear
ing the burden of government, should
not be dictated to by the non-taxpay-
ers, who too often have vicious ideas
in regard to government, for the
reason that no system effects them"
It takes the same ground as that oc-
cupied by the Newberry Observer,
that the primary plan should be regu-
lated or abandoned.
All of this is familiar doctrine to
the readers of The news and Courier.
eW are glad that so many of our con-
temporaries are beginning to view
the matter sanely. Nevertheless, we
fear that it will be some time before
the Democrats of South Carolina shall
again have so good an opportunity to
undertake the revision of the party
rules as that which was offered them
last summer. Governor-elect Blease,
it must be remembered, is earnestly
opposed to any such change in the
primary regulations as is now being
urged, and the foremost champions
of restricted primary went down in
defeat in the recent elections. The
sentiment in favor of changes in the
primary rules is gaining substantial
headway for the first time but perse-
verance must be had to win success.
The cry of sore-headism will be suf-
ficient to defeat the omvement for
the time being.-News and Courier.
