Barn Burned.

On Saturday night, April 25th, at
3 o'clock, while at supper, fire was
discovered in my hay house. The
alarm was Immediately given and in
q few minutes about rs people were
fighting fire but the flames spread so
rapidly to the corn house, then to
the large barn and another small
house and to stack of hay. All the
buildings in the lot were burned and
about ESQ bushels of corn, 5000
pounds of fodder, 5000 pounds of
oats and two tons of hay. Just now
want to thank my friends who so
nobly rendered such valuable assist
ance in fighting the flames and saw
ing my dwelling and other buildings,
also for the help in erecting some
temporary stables, etc. Substantial
aid has already come from some of
nv friends, which is thankfully re-
ceived and highly appreciated. We
saved all the live stock, wagons, etc.,
and about 100 bushels parched corn,
which the hogs will eat. Origin OF
fire is unknown. Theory points to
incendiarism, but no suspects at this
time. No insurance.

their babies.
with my last 25 cents" he says,
"I bought the poison at a drug store.
I took it home and my wife and 1
mixed it in the little milk we had
left. The milk was the only food
we had in the house. Some was
given to the children, my wife drank
some and I drank the remainder.
There was not enough for me or 1

Silver Deposit in Calhoun.

St. Matthews, April 29.-ls there
a silver mine in Calhoun county or
was it just a small bit of the metal
that happened to be away down IN
the earth? That is the question
which is to be settled. J. S. Wanna
maker exhibited on the streets OF
St. Matthews on yesterday speci-
mems of a deposit which were bored
from well at the depth Of 10 feet,
and those who have seen it. say that
there is little doubt that it is silver.
The we'll is being bored on part OF
the holdings of the company about
three miles south of st. Matthews.
Yesterday while the augur was slow
ly drilling it's way through the ada
mantine substances at this great
depth, everything seemed to give
away and the augur suddenly de-
scended about eight feet. When 1t
was brought to the surface. for the
purpose of unloading, the discovery
was made. The substance Is very
heavy, the exact color of silver, is
very firm and recognizable. It seems
imbedded between the strata OF
rock, and seems to abound In rich-
ness of quantity. A sample will be
sent to Clemson. college for analysis.

MAKES STATEMENT ON LOAN.
Treasurer Tells How Rate of Interest
was Secured.

r. H. Jennings, the State treasu-
rer, last Friday made statement in
which the facts in connection with
the loan of $50O,000 to the State
government are correctly given.
The statement follows:
"Inasmuch as some erroneous
comment has been made in regard to
the money recently borrowed by the
State as required by law, respect
fully submit the following statement
of facts in connection Herewith:
After due notice the bid by the sew
eral banks for the loan to the State
of 100000 were submitted on
April II. These bids were consid-
cred by the governor, comptroller
general and State treasurer on the
10Th, and the award for the loan
was then made to the Palmetto Ma
tional bank, their bid being 3 per
cent for the entire sum.
THE next lowest bid was by the
Peoples National bank of Rock Hill,
which was 31z per cent. with allow
ance of 1 per cent. interest on the
average deposit during the life Of the
loan, which would reduce their rate
to about 3A per cent. on 100000
for six months, or ~ to January 1,
1912. These were the only bids
made. On April 20 notes were exc
cuted for 100000 at 8 per cent.
and delivered to J. P. Matthews, cash
ier of the Palmetto National bank,
to whom the award had been made.
eve know of no agreement by
which deposit of these funds will
draw interest. During my admins
tration it has never been necessary
to leave on deposit any amount OF
the funds borrowed. In 1908 we
borrowed portion of the money for
the State at 3% per cent. interest.
In 1909 the money was borrowed at
per cent. interest, as it was need
ed, which is the lowest rate during
nv administration"

pected to live through the night.

SHOOTS WIFE AND SELF.
Double Tragedy Within Ear-shot Of
Revival Meeting.

Athens, Ca, May 1.-With a lit
tie wide-eyed baby girl the only wit
ness, r. w. Mckinney, until recently
of Newport, Tenn, shot and killed
his wife and then himself at $3.50
tonight within ear-shot of a revival,
which was progressing at the Young
Harris Memorial Methodist church.
It was at first believed that the two
people had been murdered by a third
party, but a careful examination of
the grounds and room in which they
were found by the police served to
convince them that the man had first
shot his wife and then killed him
self.
No cause for the shooting is
known.

OPERATIC SINGER ARRESTED.
In Jail at Bamberg on Suspicion of
Cashing Worthless Check.

Bamberg, April 28.-An itinerant
operate singer, claiming to be
representative of the Victor talking
machine, was arrested in Summer
vile, S. c., and brought here this
morning by Chief of Police Hand, on
a warrant sworn out by DR.. H. F.
Hoover, charging him with having
obtained $50 last Saturday on a
worthless check. He gives his name
as Victor Canares, and represents
himself to be the author Of several
fine operate productions.
He, with a woman represented to
be his wife, spent most Of last week
here, and gave an entertainment at
the graded school building, which
was pronounced by music lovers to
be unusually fine.
On Saturday night he prevailed on
DR.. Hoover to cash draft on the
First National bank, Of New York,
for $50, signed and endorsed by ].
Morris, cashier, and also endorsed
by Victor Canares. When DR.. Hoover
went to the Peoples Bank Monday
morning to deposit the draft for col
lection, Cashier Smoak noticed the
unusual form of the draft and the
similarity of the handwriting and
suggested that it might be bogus
draft. This aroused DR.. Hoover
suspicion, and he began to make in
quiry, and found that Canares had
left town owing several small
amounts to other persons. He then
swore out a warrant and Canares
was arrested as stated above. His
wife returned here with him, and has
spent part of the day in jail with
Canares. A preliminary examination
will be held tomorrow. Canares
claims to possess only 80 cents in
cash, and declares the draft was
given him by travelling man named
Morris, who owed him $50.
DR.. Hoover has wired to the First
National bank of New York, concern
ing the draft, but no answer has yet
been received.
i Mrs. Canares has two children in
Branchville, where she and her hus'
band expected to give an entertain
ment tonight. She is said to be
from Johnston, s. c., and It is also
said that her husband, from whom
she claims to have been divorced
lives there.

HOLD UP IN SPARTANBURG.
Landrum Man Relieved of $3.50
Two Under Arrest.

Spartanburg, April 28.-On war
rant issued before Magistrate Can't,
of this city, Baxter Thomas and
Charles Foster, white, aged about %
each, were arrested by policeman
and charged with holding up and
robbing Robert I. Whitener, of near
Landrum. It is alleged by Whitener
that he came to Spartanburg yester-
day, after drawing $3.50 out of the
bank at Landrum. In this city he
fell in with Baxter Thomas, well
known local character, who, it is al
legged, on the pretext Of meeting a
woman near the Southern station,
lured Whitener to the open field on
Magnolia street, and there they wait
ed for the woman who never came.
In the meantime, however, it is
alleged, Foster put in his appear
ance and, with a loaded revolver
staring the victim between the eyes,
demanded Whitener's money. He
got the "long green" quick, it is
said, and no howl was raised on the
spot.
While Whitener was peeping
down the barrel of the gun, Thomas
is said to have remarked to Foster,
who is his pal in this city: Don't
you shoot my partner, please" When
Whitener got away from the scene
he notified the police department,
who, after working on the case, caus-
ed the warrant to be issued and the
men to be placed in the county jail,
pending a preliminary hearing. The
hold up was well planned and took
place in the centre of the city.
