in favor of the Dickinson team.
Quite a number of ent thusiastic sup
porters of Co. X were present. and as 1t
was the first game of the season. the
interest was intense, and our boys sur
prised their most loyal supporters by
their brilliant plays
The game in scores was decidedly
one-sides. but some good work was also
done by the visiting team. Co. X ex-
celled in good team work and superb
basket shooting.
OF the two games played with Co. A
last season, each team won a game by
close scores, but Co. X is much
stronger quintet this year. They have
put work and interest into their practice
and are an exceptionally we'll developed
team. Their coo]-headedness, good floor
work and difficult shooting won the ad-
miration of the audience Tuesday night.
Their new man. Fields. at center, did
splendid WORK.

DICKINSON LAND OFFICE
SHOWS DECREASE FOR 1909

At the Dickinson U. S. land office the
total receipts for the year 1909 were
$162, 116. 10, compared with $500, 900. 90
for the previous year. The receipts
show decided decrease. showing how
rapidly the free government lands are
becoming thing of thep asst
The decrease is partly due, however,
to the creation Uf the Lennon district,
cutting off large slice of the territory
of the Dickinson district on the south.
However, the officials at the land
Office have been kept busy and the
number of original homestead entries
for each month are always high.
Following is the report of business
done during December. 1909:

be obtained in a democratic country like
ours if the enforcement is accompanied
by campaign of education as to what
is needed. People are most easily and
most forcibly reached along material,
lines. If typhoid fever and resultant
Doctors bills can be saved by keeping
the city clean. then by all means, the
people say. let us enforce sanitary reg
ulartions and save our money. Ty-
pho;d in the United States causes
yearly loss to the country of $685., O0O,-
900 and tuberculosis 500. 900, 600, al
most entirely preventable.
Asthetic conditions also can be
greatly improved.
brarian to select the best along these
lines, the League should begin and con-:
tinue systematic campaign of educa-
tion regarding health and beauty until
every citizen of Dickinson will insist
upon cleanliness in every particular
and take pride in the beauty of his
city -
J. Harry SERVER, the second speaker.
called attention to that part of the
presidents message recommending a
health department for the benefit of
human beings, as we already have a
veterinary DEPARTMENT to look after the
health of animals.
Mr.. SERVER said the city fire and sani-
tary departments should be combined,
enlarged and made effective. Suitable
quarters should be built and suitable
equipment provided, including a team.
The lack of money confronts the ad-
vocate Of such plan. The city is taxed
almost to the limit. But the speaker
affirmed if the wealthy citizens If Dick
inson were taxed on all their property
as the poor man is. if deposits. loans
and mortgages were made to yield
their quota of taxes. there would be
money enough and to spare to keep the
city clean and beautiful.
Mr.. SERVER said the people who know
better are often the most careless and
cited the waste paper evil, the pack
ing-box nuisance, the over sidewalk
signs. horses left along the business
streets, dirty halls in Office build
ings and such other things as little
thought and little work on the part of
the owner would remedy.
The point was also brought up of the
necessity of removing outhouses with
in certain time after the sewer is
laid on q street.
MIR. SERVER paid q high. compliment
to Ex-Mayor Manning and Frank Kihm
for pushing the matter of water supply
for the city and thus securing its great
est sanitary agent. e:
L. r. Baird said it was one thing to
talk and another to do-and epmha-
sized the necessity of following out one
line to success and then attempting
something else. A fence seems almost
q necessity but it can be kept painted
and in eood repair. vacant lots can be
turned into garden spots if mot into
lawns. All sanitary and aesthetic
effort, while yielding more than value
received to every resident Of the city
in the way Of health. has also none
tary effect in increasing the value of
property in the eyes of strangers:

has very decided views on the subject
under discussion. was uavoidabIy

EXPERIENCE WITH A DEER,
AS John Metcalf and Frank Moul-
,on were returning home from King
field Friday night in Mr.. Metcalf's au-
,omobile they had very unexpected
encounter with a buck deer. The
auto was fully lighted so the road
could be seen for quite a distance
ahead as they were driving along. A
deer suddenly jumped into the road
IN front of the auto, so near that
Mr. Metcalf knew he could not stop
the machine before he got where the
deer was, so he began to shout to
scare the deer out of the way, but
evidently the deer was not so easily
frightened but stood his ground. The
auto ran against him, knocked him
down and passed over him and before
they could stop and get back where
! the deer was run over he had picked
himself up and gone into the woods
! and was not hurt enough so but what
he could keep out of their way. On
| looking around Mr.. Metcalf found one
of the deer's horns which was knock
ed of in the encounter which he will
keep for a souvenir He is thinking
of notifying Mr. Bracket to keep his
deer out of the roads so it will be
safe for him to ride over the roads
around here in his automobile. Ii
was luck that the auto was not over
.urned and some damage done.

but does not say how much. The Sc
lection of a site in this county will eli
inmate the necessity Of an absolute
division of the State Hospital for the
Insane There will be two asylums.
it is true, the old one for the white and
the new asylum for the negroes, but
both will be in this county. At for
mer meeting the commission decided
it would be impracticable to move the
present asylum and the buildings
thereon are being improved and two
new ones erected. This relieves for
the time being the overcroWded con-
dition of the asylum.
Segregation at Last.
At another meeting also the COM
mission decided that the new site
should be utilized for the negroes, SO
that there would be segregation of
the races. This has been one Of DR..
Babcocks efforts for many years. The
segregation of the whites and negroes
aas been aimed at for long time. Il
will now be accomplished. The CON-
mission has 100000 available un-
der the resolution. The land, although
no purchase price has yet been given
out for publication, will probably
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
That would leave about $4,000 for the
erection of buildings. The purchase
price mentioned here is only specula-
ton, to show the amount available for
the new buildings to be erected on the
site.
When the commission meets next
week more definite details with regard
to the purchase will be given out. All
members of commission were present
today, as follows: DR.. James ". Bah

the exact location of the land.
Unanimous on Richland Site.
Out of more than so sites that we're
offered, the Richland land was select
ed unanimously by the members Of
the commission. DR.. Babcock remark
ed tonight that the action of the COM
mittee throughout has been unani-
nous. Sites were offered from many
counties in the State and number

fered in this county. No Charleston
sites were offered, but Charleston men
were interested in some of the sites
offered.
The commission has been at work
several months in the matter and have
given careful thought to the work of
selecting a site. When the commits

RAILROAD MAN KILLED
By CIRCUS EMPLOYES
Horrible Murder of Paul Williams oil
Columbia on Special Train.

Columbia State, Sd.
Paul A. Williams, 19 years of age,
Of the Southern railway in Columbia,
was murdered and robbed about 2.30
o'clock Sunday morning while riding
with his friend, J. c. Weekly, also Of
Columbia, on the first section of the
train which carried the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus to Augusta. The body
was discovered lying beside the track,
between Gilbert and Summit, 26 miles
from Columbia, by Conductor Thrift
in charge of Southern freight train No.
176 yesterday morning about 1890
o'clock There was a bullet wound in
the right eye.
B. D. Clarke, coroner of Lexington
county, held an inquest later in the day
at Gilbert. The verdict of the jury
was that Paul A. Williams came to
his death by a gunshot wound at the
QaDOS OF paTCleS UQhnOWu.
J. C. Weekly was the only material
witness and he told a dramatic story
of the shooting of his friend by three
white men, and how he escaped by hid
ing under piece Of canvas.
Pockets Searched. -.
The pockets of young Williams were
found turned wrong side out. In them
blood-stained one dollar bill
which his murderers failed to find.
His watch and about S., which Weekly
says Williams had when he left Co.
lumbia, were missing. One of his
shoes had been taken off.
The body of the murdered man was
brought to Columbia last night at 7.3O
o'clock on Southern train No. 130 from
Augusta. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
F. J. Williams, who formerly lived in
Columbia, where Mr.. Williams had a
jewelry store, but moved to Athens,
Ca, a few months ago, are expected
to arrive this morning at 1880 o'clock.
Advices from Augusta say that 80
Of the employees of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus were arrested when the
first section of the train arrived. The
circus authorities are quoted as saying
that the train was held up and robbed
by eight negroes Sunday morning be-
tween Gilbert and Batesburg. They
deny that they knew that either yo''
Williams or Weekly were on the train.
There was a great deal of rioting on
the train and three others who were
employees Of the circus are said to be
missing.
Hagenbeck-Walla circus is being
held in Augusta by the police authori-
ties. Special Agent Ehney of the
Southern was also active in making
arrests. :.
