Negro Kills His Baby.

Georgetown, Nov. flames Sher-
rell, negro man about 25 years of
age, is in jail here charged with the
INJURED of his S-months-old baby.
The negro's wife is in critical con-
dition as resul. of knife wounds in
flicteu by her husband. The woman,
it is alleged, was holding the baby in
her arms, when her husbind attacked
her. One of the knife strokes in
tended for her landed on tt baby's
head, the knife burying itself in the
infants brain. Death was instan-
taneous.
It is charged that this morning
about o'clock this man, who is a
native of Parkersville, negro village
situated on Waccamaw Neck across
the Waccamaw river from George
town, attempted to persuade his wife
to accompany him back to their
home, but she refused to go with
him, whereupon he commenced to
carve her up with pocket knife.
The fact that the woman held their
S-months-old child in her arms was
no deterrent to the onslaught and one
of his strokes intended for the wife
cought the infant in the top of the
head and the knife buried itself in
the brain of the child, death being in
stantaneous. After his deed the ne
gro ran down one of the principal
residential streets of the city and
threw his knife over into the yard of
prominent white citizen, where it
was found by the police little later.
After short chase the man was cap
tured and is now safely behind the
bars of the county jail.
Upon inquiry it was asccrtained
that the man is not Of the depraved
class from which it might have been
expected one guilty of such an in
human act would have come. To
the contrary he is a graduate of the
Howard graded school and is car
'penter by trade. His father has been
a school teacher He also has an
uncle who was a school teacher, but
this uncle got into trouble with the
federal government, having been too
much interested in securing pensions,
and is now in federal prison serv-
ing out his term.
The prisoner says that he did not
intend to kill the baby but says that
he intended to kill his wife. The wo-
mans chances for recovery are
slight,

New Motor Car at Greenvil1e.

Greenville, Nov. 3.-Coming all the
way from Omaha, Neb., by means OF
it's own engine, the Southern Rail-
ways new motor car for the Green
ville-Anderson run, arrived in this
city Tuesday morning, and begins it's

"gas-electric" car which has been in
use for several months past.
The new car is about seventy feet
long, has a seating capacity of about
eighty passengers, and with its six
cylinder 2OO-horse power engine, can
make a speed of 80 miles per hour.

New Hotel for Greenville.

Greenville, Nov. 2.-More than
half the stock for a new hotel has
been raised in less than four days of
active work, and the balance of the
funds to finance the building of a
100000 structure is now practi-
cally assured.
The movement for the new hotei
was started some weeks ago by A.
A. Gates and the structure will oc-
cupy site on McBee avenue, now
owned by Mr.. Gates. The building
will be six stories, OF fire-proof con-
struction throughout, and will be
thoroughly modern in every respect
When the building is finished
Greenville will be, for a while al
least, amply provided with hotel fa'
cilities. AS it is now there is hardly
room for the transient custom to get
a place to stay.

At quiet command from her
father, the child set the pals down

WHISKEY FIRM COMES ACROSS.
Grabfelder & Co. Admit Overcharg-
ing Dispensary and Pay $4,000.

Practically admitting that they had
overcharged the State to the extent of
thousands of dollars, Grabfelder &
Co., a whiskey firm of Louisville, has
abandoned it's injunction proceedings
and will pay the sum of $4,000 to
the dispensary commission. The
company was seeking to permanent
~ enjoin the commission from hold
ing the sum of $4,000 due from the
several county dispensaries.
Compromise Reached.
A few days after the argument IN
the Grabfelder case before Judge
Shipp, in which Judge Shipp delayed
deciding the case for three days, at
Mr.. Hough's request, to enable him
to file his authorities, which he said
he wanted to do, Mr.. Hough, who is
the immediate legal representative of
S. Grabfelder & Co., and the leading
counsel in the case, requested Gov.
Sheppard to communicate with the
attorney general and ascertain if the
State would entertain proposition to
settle the case. The attorney general
advised Gov. Sheppard that the case
. could be settled upon terms which
were satisfactory to the State commis-
sion.
The amount of money which was
in the hands of the dispensary boards
amounted to something over $4,000,
and the attorney general stated that
he believed the State dispensary COM
sion would accept $4,000, upon the
payment of the costs and expenses
which had attached in the case, and
which were considerable, and which
had to come out of this $4,000.
This proposition was then made to
the commission and accepted.
The business on which these over
charges were made, according to the
claim of S. Grabfelder & Co., ante
dated 1906. The settlement, there
fore, practically took up the amounts
which the commission had held up.
Refused First Offer.
Grabfelder & Co., through their
representative, offered first to settle
the claim of the State at $4,000,
which was refused by the commits
sion, and just prior to the argument
of the case before Judge Shipp Mr..
Hough increased the offer to $10,-
600, which was also refused, and it
was Immediately after the argument
of the case before Judge Shipp that
they agreed to come to terms agree
able to the commission, which was
the payment Of $4,000 and the costs
and expenses incident to the litiga-
ton.
This case involves the constitu-
tionality of the act of 1910, which
provided that the funds owing sun
dry liquor houses by county dispensa-
ries should be first applied to the pay
ment of claims in favor of the State
found to be due by the commission.
The abandonment of the litigation
by Grabfelder & Co., and settlement
in accordance with the views of the
commission would seem to indicate
that the attorneys for Grabfelder re-
gard the act as valid, although this
question is yet to be determined by
the supreme court in another case.
The conclusion of this case leaves
little to be collected under the provi-
sions of the act of 1910, except the
Carolina Glass company matter, in
which is involved the sum of several
thousand dollars.
