Will Prosecute Clark and Jones.

w. A. Clark and Willie Jones, pres
idents of the two leading banking in
stitutions of South Carolina, are to
be indicted on a charge Of conspiracy
to defraud. The announcement was
made yesterday by DR.. E. j. Ether
edge, chairman of the board of re-
ceivers. The other members of the
board are Huger Sinkler of Charles
ton. F. G. Tompkins Of Columbia,
DR.. R. H. Zimmerman of Aiken and
R. M. Kennedy of Allendale.
DR.. Etheredge stated last night
that the board had been in session
two days and that, after considering
the matter from every standpoint, it
was decided to let these prosecutions
be made.
The prosecutions will not come in
the name of the receivers, it Is said,
but in the name of individual stock
holders, and the action will be in
another county, possibly Kershaw.
DR.. Etheredge stated that every
person connected with the Seminole
company would be prosecuted-with
one exception, Thos. S. Bryan, one OF
the trustees. He would give no fur
ther information.
Gen. Jones stated last night that
he had been expecting something OF
this kind, "for any hysterical stock
holder of any corporation can with
shrewd lawyers cause a lot OF
trouble" said Gen. Jones. How
ever, l am innocent in my motives
and I invite rather than defy exami-
nation of my record"
w. F. Stevenson, e. L. Asbill and
E. D. Blakeney, attorneys who had
been here for several days consulting
with the receivers, had returned to
their several homes last night. and
nothing further about the case could
be learned.-Columbia State.

Washington, February 9.-Cotton
growing in Africa is becoming an i'm

American cotton in Great Britain, as
that country, which uses so much
cotton from the United States, Is en-
couraging the development of the
growing Of that staple In her colo

West Africa is estimated at $780,

ASSAULT NEAR TAMPA.
Escaped Negro Convict Outrages Mrs.
Jane ElIerbee.

tampa, Fla, FeD. lU.-EScdplnS
from a turpentine camp six miles
from here. where he was detained as
a convict, Rowland Flower, negro
went to the home of Mrs. Jane Eller-
bee, a prominently connected white
woman, two miles away. at o'clock
this afternoon, and at the point Of a
gun forced the frightened woman to
submit to an assault. AS soon as the
negro left the woman ran distance
of two miles, with no shoes on her
feet and but the scant attire the
brute had left on her, and gave the
alarm.
Officers from Tampa hastened to
the scene in automobiles and, secur-
ing bloodhounds, we're soon on the
trail of the negro. Half hundred
men on horseback also took up the
chase, but the sheriff's posse was
first to sight the fugitive, which
probably saved summary punishment
being visited on him. When sighted
the negro had a gun, which he had
taken from the Ellerbee home. When
commanded to halt he started to
shoot, but the officers fired first, one
of the bullets piercing his thigh. An
other went through the. two barrels
of the gun.
The negro was placed in an auto
mobile and hurried to Harney, a
small station several miles distant.
Anticipating that the roads would be
watched by the infuriated citizens,
who outnumbered the officers ten
to one, the latter took wide detour,
and arrived here with their prisoner
at 6 O'Clock and lodged him safely in
Jail. He is now under heavy guard
and it is hardly probable that any
violence will be attempted, for the
present at least.
Mrs. Ellerbee tells story revolt
ing in detail. She was in the yard
at the time the negro arrived, and
was the only person about the house.
The negro asked for drink of wa
ter, and permission to sit down and
rest. He walked into the house to
sit down, and when Mrs. Ellerbee
protested he forced her to go into
the house also, pointing gun which
he found in the house at her. Fore
ing her to divest herself of nearly all
of her clothing he accomplished his
fiendish purpose. Mrs. Ellerbee is
about fifty-four years old, and lives
with her son in a small farm house.
Flowers admitted going to the
house and getting the gun, but denied
that he outraged the woman.
1t was announced early tonight
that a grown son of Mrs. Ellerbee
was at the head of a mob which was
proceeding to Tampa for the purpose
of attacking the Jail, and taking the
negro out, but up to this hour moth
ing has materialized. The jail Is an
unusually strong structure, with
high brick walls enclosing 1t. Sheriff
Jackson does not believe it possible
for a mob to reach the prisoner if an
attempt is made.
The automobile police patrol in
which Flowers was being brought to
the city ran into a street car on the
outskirts, and was badly damaged,
but was able to proceed to the city.

MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS.
House Passed Bill Introduced by
Hon. G.. w. Garris.

The house passed with little dis
cussion Mr.. Garris' bill providing for
an annual appropriation of not less
than 100000 for the free public
schools. When the appropriation bill
was under consideration, Mr.. Garris
secured an increase in the appropria-
ton from $4,000 to $4,000, and
yesterday he called up his bill max
ing the proposed appropriation one
of the regular sections of the appro-
priation bill.
The bill was changed in several
particulars and. after an explanation
by Mr.. Garris and amendments, pass
ed as follows:
Section /. That sum of not
less than 100000 be, and the same
is hereby, appropriated annually for

by authority in section 6, article H.,
of the constitution Of 1895.
"Sec. 2. No more than 500 shall
be appropriated to any one school in
any one scholastic year, but no school
now running for a period of 100 days
or more, or hereafter to run a
period of 100 days or more, out of
funds accruing from said school for
the regular school funds, shall re-
ceive aid from this appropriation.
And no school shall receive aid un-
der authority of this act unless the
district in which said school is To-
Gated does now, or hereafter shall,
first levy in accordance with law at
least 2 mills special school tax.
"Sec. 8. Schools running less
than 100 days as provided in section
2 of this act, may receive aid from
this fund in amounts equal to the
number raised by special taxation,
not to exceed 500 for any one
school
"Sec. 4. Funds appropriated un-
der the terms of this act shall not
become available in any school dis
trict except upon petition Of the
board of trustees of the school dis
trict asking aid, approved and coun-
tersigned by the county superintend-
ent of education for the county in
which the district is located.
"Sec. 5. The State superintend-
ent of education may refuse aid under
the provisions of this act If it is made
to appear to him that the expendi-
ture would be unwise and detrimen-
tai to the interests of free school edu-
cation in said district.
"sec. 6. The State superintendent
of education, with the State board OF
education, shall provide rules and
regulations for the distribution of
this fund and shall advise such regu-
lations to the various county super
intendents of education who, In turn,
shall advise the various district trus-
tees.
"sec. 7. Applications must be
filed In order of their receipt and
paid or refused in the same order:
Provided, That such schools as now
have on deposit funds raised by pri-
vate subscription under the terms OF
No. 105, acts of 1909, shall, for the
present scholastic year, receive aid
in accordance with the terms OF said
act. t."-Columbia State.

SCANDAL AT ALBANY.
Charges of Corruption in Legislature
! Being Made.

man who handled the money was
brought before the Senate to-day by
Senator Benjamin Conger to confirm
Conger's charge that lothian P
Aids, its majority leader, accepted
$1,000 for influencing legislation
He proved to be Hiram G. Moe, vet
eran ex-bank cashier of Grotop
where Conger lives, and he declared
positively that on April %, 1901. he
lad handed Senator Aids an en-,
yelope containing $1,000 at the Capt,
tol.
The purpose for which the alleged
transfer of money occurred did not
appear in the direct testimony TO-
day; but Senator Cenger filed an
sdidayit in which he declared that
the payment was made to Aids. upon
Allds's demand, :.'in the interests OF
the American Bridge Company"
The rattle of dead mems bones
added a mysterious hearing this at
ternoon. For Moe declared that on
the same day he paid Aids $1,000
he gave to another legislator $4,000
and to another $1,000. The tense
anxiety displayed By both sides to
guard the identity Of the alleged re-
sdpients of these sums was explained
when Senator Bracket arose and
pleaded with the contestants not to
smirch the names of those who could
not possibly appear to defend them
selves.
The man who, Moe said. sent him
to Albany with this $4,000 to dis
srfbute to three legislative leaders
also is dead. He was Frank Conger
brother of the Senator, and at the
time these events occurred vice presi-
dent of the bridge company.
The only other witness to-day was
VIM. A. Smyth, editor of the Owego
Times, (Tioga County, Owego was
the home of former United States
Senator Thomas C. Platt. Smyth
testified that in 1901 the Owegc
Bridge Company was threatening tc
move it's plant if certain Legislation
became a law. The witness appealed
to Senator Platt and received the
following reply:
According to Aids statement, the
bill that passed is not Objectionable
10 the bridge people, provided thu
other bill is held. There is no deub'
the other bill will remain in the com
mittee.'
There is an impression here to
night that the introduction of Plat
into the controversy is welcomed By
the defence, and that it opens a wa!
for Senator Aids to plead that In re
gard to this highway legislation ht
only followed the instructions of tht

MURDERER E. {. PETTY
CHEATS THE GALLONS

He was immediately carried IA
the hospital and examined and il
it was at once seen that he was
fatally injured. Battered and
smashed from the awful shock,
Petty could hardly be recognized.
His features were crushed and
pounded into horrible shapele' 8
mass. But through it all, Il g
guards thought they could detect
a trace of the gibbering smil. that
had adorned his face when he
made the fatal Jump. He had
cheated the gallows.
The crime for which Petty was
rentenced to hang was committed
a year and half ago in Sparks.
He deliberately planned and
murdered his wife in cold blood
shooting her in the back with a
revolver.
