TROLLEY LINE COMMISSIONED.
Plan for Piedmont Traction System
Taking Shape.

Columbia, January 3.-The Green
vile, Spartanburg and Anderson
Railway, with a minimum capital OF
100000, was commissioned to-day
by the Secretary of State. The conn
pany is backed by Greenville and
New York capital. The maximum
capital is to be $2,000,000. The
company proposes to operate an cleo
trio line from the city Of Anderson to
the city of Spartanburg. The princi-
pal place of business will be at
Greenville. The petitioners of the
company are J. B. Duke, Somerville,
N. j.; B. N. Duke, New York city,;
w. S. Lee, Charlotte, and Ellison A.
Smyth, Lewis w. Parker, w. ].
Thackston and H. J. Haynsworth, OF
GreenvilIe.
1t is stated in the petition for char.
ter that the road will use the lines OF
the Anderson Traction Company.
The road. will run for a distance
of sixty-five miles, and will be. .oper-
ated by electricity. Leaving the city
of Anderson the line will go direct to
Greenville by the way Of Williams
ton, Piedmont, Pelzer and Belton.
From Greenville the line will run to
Spartanburg by the way OF Chick
Springs, Taylors, Greer. Pelham,
Duncan, Reidville, Wexford, Lock-
hart, Fair Forest and Spartan Mills.
This announcement has been ex-
pected for some time for it has been
known that the Duke interest con-
templated the building of an cleo
trio road through the up-country.
All the powers usually granted to-
railroads are asked in, the petition
for charter.
The building Of the road will mean
a lot to the up-country, as. it Will
connect three of the largest and most
prosperous towns of the Piedmont
section.
From the names on the list Of petit;
TONERS, it is certain that the road
will be constructed, but no announce
ment has been given out as to when
the work will commence. 80
The Duke interest controls one OF
the great power transmission lines
over the up-country, and 1t is ex-,
pected that this will be used In the
operation of the cars.

The South Carolina legislature will

The session will no doubt last the

A State meeting of the farmers de-

DR.. S. A. Knapp, mead of this work,
to be held at Greenville the 18th of

The counties which voted out the

The handsome residence of Major
Marion Noise in Sumter was totally
destroyed by fire early last Thurs
day morning. The fire originated in
the boiler room in the basement,
caused by an explosion Of the hot
water tank. The pipes had become
frozen, and when steam was put into
the pipes an explosion resulted. The
residence was worth $4,000 and was
handsomely furnished. The insurance
amounted to $4,000.

Will Be Tried Soon.

Greenville, Jan. 3.-General ses-
sions court convenes the middle Of
the month. There are a number Of
murder cases yet on the docket, but
probably the most interesting of these
will be the trial of Jess Fuller and
his brother-in-law, Joe Barker, for
the murder Of J. E. Liddell, a real
estate man, on Christmas eve.
Fuller is still held in Spartanburg
Jail and Barker is in custody at some
place in the county, it Is supposed.
The two men, it will be remembered
having been spirited away to avoid a
lynching at the time of Fuller's' SEN
sational confession to his friend, w.
O. Slower, who in making state
ment concerning Fuller's confession
said that he felt it duty bound to
give Fuller away after he had learned
that the slain man was an Odd Eel
low.
Gov. Ansel has employed detec-
tive from the Pinkerton forces and
this man is now here gathering evil
dence in order that the case may be
properly presented to the approach
ing term of court.
There are many people in the city
who believe Fuller was drunk when
he confessed the crime, some even
declared that Fuller was under an
hallucination, and that as soon as he
heard of the killing of Liddell, his
befuddled brain led him to believe
that he had committed the deed.
However these obsessions may have
Influenced Fuller, Stover maintains
that the man was quite sober when
he told him of the crime, giving every
detail, even telling him about the
bottle with which Liddell was killed;
the bottle afterward being found
near the scene Of the crime.

Negro Child Fatally Burned.

Edgefeld, Jan. 2.-Can, the g.
year-old son of Can and Lucy Nor
gan, negroes, died this morning from
the effects of burns received yester-
day. The mother went to neighbor-
ing residence to perform some service,
leaving the child alone in the house
with a fire.
Soon after leaving home, she heard
screams and ran back only to ind
the child in flames which she sue
ceeded in extinguishing but not until
he had been badly burned. The
father, on reaching home, was so
crazed by the accident and enraged
by his wife leaving the child alone in

Mayor Rhett to Retire.

Charleston, Dec. 29.-It is not
likely that Mayor Rhett will offer
again as a candidate for the mayor
atty. In fact he said to-day In con-
versation with newspaper men that
he had no idea of running again and.
probably would not do SO unless
some crisis arose which would require
him to enter the race. Mayor, Rhett
has served two terms, which Is the
limit heretofore observed by the
mayors Of Charleston. There is no
statute to prevent him from running
again but two terms have been recog-
nized as the limit for a mayor and
as stated it is not likely that Mayor
Rhett will attempt to make a record
in this respect.
The names of a number Of candi-
dates have been mentioned but the
election is yet about year OF and
it is really too soon to make any
statements along this line. G. W..
Williams and Edward w. Hughes are
probably the most prominently men
toned names for the Office. Mayor
T. T. Hyde's name has also been
heard as have the names of Lawrence
M. Pinckney, Wilson G.. Harvey, John
F. Rafferty, and D. L. Sinkler. &
The name of Major Harvey has also
been mentioned in connection with
the Office of lieutenant governor.
None of the names mentioned are
used with authority of the parties
as the election is 80 far of that the
candidates are difident about conn
hitting themselves.

TURKEY THIEF KILLED.
Negro Resists Arrest and is Shot to
Death.

Sumter, Jan. 3.-As the result Of
the theft Of a turkey, Jack Jackson
is now dead, and John Loney is held
in the county Jail charged with MUIR
der. The killing occurred on Sun
day afternoon about l O'Clock on
Mr.. w. B. Burns's farm, near Shot
Pouch Branch, just outside the city
limits. All of the parties are col
ored people.
Mary Davis came to Sumter on
Saturday and complained to the po-
lice officers that Jack Johnson had
stolen from her turkey, and Police
man Owens was commissioned to
effect the arrest. As soon as Jack
son saw him approaching he took to
fight, and seeing how difficult it
would be to make the arrest, the
officer offered Loney, as was testified
to by Loney at the coroner's inquest,
two dollars to arrest Jackson and

Mr.. W. J. Rivers, and told him Of the
agreement he had made with Officer
Owens, and borrowed a pistol from
him to protect himself with in case
Jackson offered him any bodily harm.
When Loney found Jackson, the tur-
key thief swore that he would not be
arrested, and whipped out razor,
and came so near to injuring Loney
az to cut his clothes with the sharp
blade. Loney then pulled out his
pistol, and as Jackson began to run
Loney fired at him four times, two
of the bullets entering the back Of the
fleeing man and entirely penetrating
his body. Either of the two wounds
would have produced death. Loney
then came to town, reported the kill
ing to the chief Of police, and said
that he wanted to give himself up
to the law. He will have to remain
in jail until next April to stand trial
at the Court of General Sessions.

CHAPTER XVIII,
A Tramp and tn. Too,hscb.


Inc bitterness toward the dead
president of the Traders bank seemed

memory was execrated by people who
had lost nothing. but who were filled
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans crashing
ayarice.
But, like everything else those DAYS.
the bank failure was almost forgotten
by Gertrude and myself. We did not
mention Jack Bailey; | had found

is also good soothing lotion The
relief that comes from little aiten-
