What Smythe Said

"Once upon time there lived a
good man who was soliciting contrl'
buttons for the erection of an orphan
asylum" said the story teller, &C.
cording to Answers. "He had been
to many rich people and received
liberal contributions, which were en-
tered in a book he had for that pur-
pose. Among these many names ap-
peared Mrs. Rupert Smythe.' The
good man went to Mr.. Smythe's office,
and showing him the contribution
entered by Mrs. Smythe, asked If he
would not give like sum. And what
do you suppose he did,"
"Well, I suppose he doubled it.
remarked listener.
Doubled it? Not Rupert!" ex-
claimed the teller of the story. "Why,
he simply took his pen and wrote,
Mr.. and Mrs. before his wife's name
and handed the book back"

TAG TAX RECEIPTS INCREASE.
Decided Gain Over Last Years Fig
ures is Anticipated.

Columbia, May 2s.-The fertilizer
movement, as shown by the tag tax
receipts, will aggregate s250,000 in
receipts at the Treasurer's Office, or
about $4,000 more than last years
receipts, on the basis of 25 cents per
ton.
The tag tax received to date is
S212,050.03, which is s41,545.91
more than to the corresponding date
last year. The figures for last year
to March 29 were S170,504.12.
The total for the last official year
1909) in tag tax receipts was $780,
741.31.
From May % last year to the end
of the fiscal year the receipts were,
therefore, s32,237.1s.
1t is considered very probable that
this years receipts, from now until
the end of the fiscal year, will equal,
if not exceed, last years receipts for
the corresponding period. BY adding
last years after May receipts it will
be seen that this years receipts will
probably reach the s250,000 mark.
AS the tag tax Is 25 cents per ton,
the amount turned into the Treasur-
er's Office represents nearly S50,0v0
tons.
"In my opinion" said today Judge
J. Fuller Lyon, who handles the fer
tilizer tax in the Office of the State
Treasurer, "the reason for the in
crease in the fertilizer sales, as shown
by the tag tax, is that the farmer in
South Carolina is now using more
fertilizer for the small crops, that
is the grain crops. corn and so forth.
l have noticed a general disposition
to increase the fertilizer used on the
early fall crops

Savannah Sheriff Killed.

Savannah, Ca, May 29.-James
w. Mcintyre, Jr., sheriff of the city
court of Savannah and a member OF
a very prominent family died early
this afternoon at St. Joseph's hospi'
tai as the result of two pistol wounds
inflicted late last night a mile from
the city on the Augusta road.
Several negroes are held by the
police in connection with the shoot
ing but the murder is yet wrapped
in mystery, and except for theories,
any one of several of which may be
correct, the police are at loss to
determine the identity of the slayer
It was stated that Mcintyre stated
he knew who shot him. Further than
this, however, the police seem to
know but little of the circumstances
surrounding the tragedy. Four shots
were fired in the Darkness.
Mr.. Mcintyre is brother Of Frank
P. Mcintyre, commander of the Geor-
gia Huzzars.

him. His cries could not be heard.
After the first bullet had brought
him down he made an effort to drag
himself out of range, but no matter
which way he turned his escape was
cut off by the flying missiles.
Finally he sank on the sand mound

NO PARDON FOR BRIGHAM.
Wealthy Farmer Who Whipped a
Woman Must Serve Time.

Columbia, May 27.-Because he

wealthy Marion county farmer, will
have to serve his sentence in the

BODY FOUND IN EDISTO.
Believed that Young Negro Girl Com
mitted Suicide at Orangeburg.

Orangeburg, May 2S.-What is
supposed to be the suicide of a 49,
year-old negro girl has just been dis
covered by the police of this city.
The facts of the case, so far as
known at this time, are about as fol-
lows:
On last Wednesday, negro girl,
Henrietta McDuffie, 13 years, was re-
ported to the police as missing from
her home. Investigation disclosed
the fact that on Tuesday she had been
punished by her aunt, who lived in
the house of Lea Brunson, the grand
mother of the girl with whom she
lived, and had then threatened to
take her own life, saying that she
would kill herself and go to hell,
rather than stand the ill-treatment
of her aunt" She remained at a
neighbor's house on Tuesday night,
but on Wednesday morning she re-
turned to her grandmothers remain
ing a few minutes, then leaving.
Later in the day she was reported
missing.
Late on Wednesday afternoon a
hat, dress and shoes, supposed to be
the clothes of Henrietta, we're found
on the banks of the Edisto River.
While the girl failed to return on
Thursday and. Friday, few thought
she had executed her threat to kill
herself. In fact, it was reported
late on Friday that she had been
seen on the streets of the city with
an infant. However, this afternoon,
while fishing in the river, George
Peoples and another negro saw sthe
dead body Of a person floating in
eddy water, and reported that fact
to the chief of police, who dispatched
Officer Jennings to the scene, who
found that it was the dead body OF
the girl, Henrietta McDuffie, covered
only by under clothing. The body
was in a good state of preservation
and was easily identified.
The matter has been reported to
the coroner, and an inquest will be
held tonight or tomorrow morning.
The case, if it be one of suicide, is
unusual, considering the age and
color Of the girl.
It is barely possible that the inves-
tigation by the coroner may disclose
some things not now known or even
suspicioned.

Tries to Rob Court Room.

Chicago, May 25.-A sensational
turn was given the Lee O'Neil Brown
alleged bribery trial here late to-day,
when it became known that an at
tempt was made during the noon re-
cess to rob Judge McSurley's court
room in the criminal court building
A lock on the main door had been
jammed so badly that it was neces-
sary to remove the door before 1t
could be opened. Whoever attempted
to secure access to important papers
by breaking into the court room had
apparently been frightened away by
attaches Of the building- All the
court officers were at lunch when the
attempt was made. When he was in
formed of the matter, States Attor-
ney Wayman said that he does not
think that he took the alleged con-
fessions made by Representatives R.
J. C. Beckmeyer and Michael Sink,
the contents OF which have been kept
a close secret, to court with him.
Against the objections of States
Attorney Wayman, Alec Forest, for
the defense, secured a continuance of
the hearing until o'clock to-mor-
row. Attorney Forest said he de-
sired time to look up federal authori-
ties regarding the election of United
States senators and congressman.

Whiskey Traffic on the Rivers.

Perhaps it is well known that a
river that is boundary between two
States is, or has been heretofore,
outside the jurisdiction of any State
and subject only to federal law as to
certain acts performed or committed
on it's waters. In this way the sale
of liquor has continued on the river,
despite the prohibit laws Of Ar
kansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Trading and regular line boats have
done big business in whiskey on
both shores, and prohibition along
the river was a nullity in conse-
quence. Recently, however, Arkan-
sas and Mississippi concurrently en-
acted laws extending their jurisd1c-
ton over the river, each State reach
ing to the farther bank of the stream,
and Sunday evening the steamer Sa-
die Lee, from Memphis, was held up
at Greenville, and two wagon loads
of LIQUOR were confiscated. The pro-
ceeding was thoroughly effective In
accomplishing it's object. The only
point in doubt is whether the law
will hold good, as it seems to In
volve question Of interference with

Negro Slain by White Man.

St. George, May 25.-A negro was
shot and instantly killed by Peter
Harley at Harleyville early this af-
ternoon. There were no eye-wit-
nesses, and particulars regarding the
tragedy are rather meagre. The ne
gro was in the employ of young Har-
ley as a farm laborer.. Harley came
to st. George, and upon his return
home found that the negro had not
been performing his duties properly.
He is said to have upbraided the ne
gro for failure to work in his alb
sence which enraged the negro. He
advanced upon young Harley. The
latter drew his rifle and began fir
ing. The negro, it is said, continued
to advance then after he had been hit
by the first shot. Harley had his
rifle in his possession when he went
to the negro's shack which is in the
rear of his residence. No inquest
has vet been held over the remains
of the dead man.
Harley is within the walls Of the
county Jail, having surrendered him
self to Sheriff Owens Immediately af-
ter the shooting. He is young un-
married man and is member of a
we'll known and prominent family.
He is a brother of Bill Harley, who
was killed at Harleyville couple OF
years ago while attempting to enter
the front door of the residence of a
prominent citizen of that point.

Too Truthful.

Truth-telling in itself is not always
particularly wise nor praiseworthy.
Indeed, it is sometimes the reverse.
Perhaps this can be illustrated in
the case of the young man who called
on a young lady early one spring
morning. He wanted to give her a
spin through the country in his big
touring car. A little girl-the young
lady's niece-answered the bell.
"Is your auntie in?" asked the
young man.

That's good. Where is she?" he

little girl, "in her mighty, looking

DEATH SENTENCE FOR HUNTER.
Savannah Man Convicted of Killing
Three Women.

Three Women.
Savannah. Ca, May 28.-Guilty OF
the atrocious murder Of his wife,
Mrs. Maggie Hunter, and aged Mrs.
Eliza Gribble and her daughter, Mrs.
Carrie Ohlander, in the Perry street
murders here last December, was the
verdict returned after midnight this
morning against J. C. Hunter, in
Chatham Supreme Court.
With the Court rooms silence
broken only by the sound of the voice
of Judge Charlton, the sentence of
death was pronounced and unless
saved by legal formalities the aged
prisoner will die on the gallows June
10.
Looking steadily at the Judge with
his one remaining eye, Hunter,
shrivelled with age and hard usage,
and after the ordeal of the trial, ap-
parently was as calm as any one else
in the Court room.
The verdict came after the jury
had been out but twenty-six minutes,
and was a distinct surprise, both be-
cause many persons believed the
solely circumstantial evidence ad-
duced by the prosecution would leave
a reasonable doubt in the minds of
the jurors and because it was be-
lieved the jury would not agree
quickly upon verdict in any case.
Nearly all the afternoon and night
sessions Of the Court were devoted to
two arguments, that of Attorney Don
Clark, for the prisoner, and Of Solici-
tor General Walter Hartridge. The
latter in his argument paid as much
attention, in his attacks, to the opos-
ing counsel as to the prisoner.
At noon, just before the testimony
was ended, the jury was led from
the court room to the Perry street
house, and saw the rooms in which
the three women were killed.
Mayor George w; Tiedeman, of
Savannah, was one of the last wit
nesses, and was offered to combat
Hunters story of the cruelties Of the
third degree" as he declared on the
stand it was practiced by the local
police.
The, States case against Hunter
rested upon evidence that he had
quarrelled with his wife; was sepa-
rated from her; knew Of alleged in
timacy between her and w. H. Walls,
also charged with the murders, and
yet to be tried; that he was seen
near the house of murders about the
time OF the murders, and he had
threatened to "bust her brains out, -
referring to his wife. e.
Hunters defence was an alibi.
The murders for which Hunter is
under death sentence were committed
in the early afternoon Of December
12, in a small frame two-story house
on Perry street. Mrs. Gribble's skull
was crushed in with blows of blunt
instrument. She was very old. Her
daughter, too, met death almost in
stantly from blows over the head.
Mrs. Hunter, the wife Of the con-
victed man, was not dead when a
patrolman pushed open the door OF
the house on the terrible scene, but
died several days later in a hospital,
without regaining consciousness suf-
fciently to tell who struck her. She
babbled of white man" who at
tackled her.
w. H. Walls, white man, Mrs.
Hunters alleged, lover, and John
Cooker, a negro, who are charged
with aiding Hunter, and are prison
ers. A second negro who confessed
the crime was not held, his story
being proven Untrue.
