MURDER NEAR ANDERSON.
Samuel Hyde, Engineer i'm Mill Near
Anderson Kills Wife and Her
Father.

Anderson, July 1S.-Samuel Hyde,
white man, twenty-seven years old.
early this morning forced an entrance
through a window into the house of
w. b. Beasley, his father-in-law
proceeded to the room occupied bv
his wife who had been separated from
him and deliberately fired upon her.
Three bullets hit his wife's little sis
ter, who was asleep in the bed with
her.
Turning round, Hyde then walked
out OF the room into the hall, where
he encountered Mr.. Beasley, who had
been awakened by the pistol shots.
Mr.. Beasley, who is fifty-five years
old, caught hold Of Hyde and a tus
sic followed. In the tussle HYDE re-
loaded his pistol and fired at Beas-
ley, the shot piercing his heart
causing instant death.
Hyde then took to a corn field and
had friend to telephone for the
sheriff. The officers arrived and
Hyde surrendered and was taken to
jail. The shooting occurred in the
Orr Mill Village, just outside Of this
city.
Hyde stated today that he went
to the house to kill his wife. that he
is well satisfied with his deed and is
ready TO die for it, He says his only
regret is that he had to shoot the
old man. He says he did not know
the child was in the bed and was
not aware of shooting her until this
morning when told by the officers.
His reason for the decd was that he
loved his wife and child, that they
had been taken from him and that
he decided to put an end to the mat
ter by killing her.
Mr.. BeaSley had taken his daugh-
ter back OH account of the bad treat
ment Hyde had given her. Hyde
was employed as an engineer at one
Of the cotton mills while the Beas-
leys worked in another cotton mill.
Hyde served one enlistment and a
part of another in the United States
army.

CREAMERY SHUT DOWN.
Quantity OF Milk to be Had InSufI-
cicnt I'm Gaffney.

Gaffney, July 1S.--The Cherokee
creamery. one Of the county's in
FAINT industries has temporarily sus-
pended business. This project was
established in Gaffney some months
ago, stock company composed Of
Cherokee county men entirely, own
ing it. For some time they ran at
advantage, and the proposition was a
paying one, but the great scarcity Of
milk became q factor in the conduct
Of the business, and it is stated that
this is now responsible for the close
down of the creamery. 1t became
apparent some time ago that en-
ough milk could not be secured to
run the creamery and several of
those most deeply interested import
ed Jersey cattle for the purpose of
securing milk to supply the cream
Uy. Even this however, proved to
he insufficient.

SANIEE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
MEETING.
Fourth OF Series OF Social and Ro.
hSi0us Gatherings at Bethel
Church.

a few notes about the recent San
tee Summer Assembly will probably
be OF interest to some Of your read
ers.
-Four years ago this meeting was
organized by the pastors of the San
tee Baptist Association and its first
session was held in July Of that year
at Bethel church, eight miles out
from Sumter, in the Privateer Sec
ton. The object Of the originators
was to have a meeting, combining re-
ilglous and social elements, a place
and time when all who desired could
come for religious instructions and
social pleasure. Four sessions have
been held and each succeeding one
has marked advance on the proceed
ing one.
1t is Of the meeting, held last week
that is more particularly Of interest
just now. The first service began
Monday evening and consisted
principally Of a sermon by NJ. W.
Gordon Of Summerton. Tuesday.

We're held morning, afternoon, and

The social feature was delightful
This great old church is known for
and wide for its hospitality. Some
ten or twelve tents were on the
ground. These, together with the
school building which many visiting
ladies occupied were tenting places
Of some twenty-five or thirty. An
excellent caterer on the grounds
cared for the inner man Of the tents.
Not soon shall we forget "Stoney's'

the grove, the inspiring addresses in
the house, the hearty hand-shake in
greeting, the delightful fellowship
al! go to make the meeting one not
soon to be forgotten.

WILEY NOT REMOVED,
LIKELY THAT HE WILL RETAN
HIS POSITION.
President Not Thoroughly Conycrsant
With Case but Inclined to be Le-
nicnt With Chemist.

Washington, July 1S.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, probably will not be re-
CURED by President Tart TO resign,
but Will be eprimanded, according
to the consesus Of opinion of visitors
who talked with Mr.. Taft today. The
recommendation of Attorney General
Wickersham that DIR. Wiley be per-
mitted TO resign was barely touched
upon at the cabinet meeting, but this
impression was strengthened in the
minds Of callers at the White House
during the day.
The president thus far has not
read the record in the case, nor ha,
he before him the recommendation
Of James Wilson. secretary of ag-
riculture. in whose department the
trouble arose and who has been di-
rected to pass upon it.
limitations that Attorney General
Wickersham exceeded his authority
in his recommendation were set at
rest by the president today In con-
versation with callers the president
explained that he had requested the
attorney general to pass upon the
legal question involved in the Wiley
matter and that. proceeding on this
theory, the attorney general answer
ed him in strictly legal fashion.
Mr.. Wickersham the president told
some Of his visitors, did not expect
his opinion to be given to the parties
concerned and wrote it largely for
the presidents guidance alone. At q
recent cabinet meeting, at which Mr..
Wickersham was not present, it was
agreed that the papers in the case
should be sent to all parties interest
ed and this was done by the presi-
dent, who did not expect them u be
made public.
The presidents explanation of how
Mr.. Wickersham became involved in
the case led some Of his hearers TO
the conclusion that the attorney
general will have no reason to feel
injured if his recommendation is not
followed by M. Taft when ne re-
views the issue.
There was opportunity to refer to
Dr. Wiley for only an instant at the
cabinet session today. Mr.. Wilson
Immediately theareafter took DR.. Wi
ley's answer back to his department
with him, promising to look it over
and make a recommendation as soon
as possible.
DR.. Wiley's answer t. the charges
made against him by the personnel
committee Of the department Of ag-
riculture was presented to President
Taft today. The outline Of DR.. WI
ley's defense was not disclosed.
Although Attorney General Wick
ersham is out Of the city, the case
was discussed informally by the cabi-
net. Owing to the fact that Attor-
ney General Wickersham, who speaks
in Duluth tomorrow night. will not
be back in Washington before Fri
day and that Mr.. Taft expects to
spend the week at Beverly, it is
unlikely the president will go over
the case before next Tuesday.

SUMTER SYSTEM APPROVED.
Military Training for High Schooi
Boys Endorsed by War Depart
ment.

Nine years ago Supt. Edmuuds of
the city schools decided To make
military instruction a part Of the
high school course and the boys of
the higher grades were enrolled in
cadet company. This feature Of
the school work proved so popular
with the school boys and the results
were SO gratifying and beneficial that
II has become permanent depart
ment of the school system. The
high school now has a battalion of
four companies. commanded by the
school commandant, who is a grad
uate OF the South Carolina Military
Academy. The cadet companies are
armed with old Springfield rifles
which were purchased from the
United States Government after
much difficulty. When the effort
was made to buy the old rifles
from the government the officials of
the War Department fatty refused to
sell them, and IL was only after an
appeal was made to Senator Till
man TO use his influence with the
War Department. which he promptly
ard effectively did, that the officials
were able to see that it would be
just as we'll to sell a few of the dis
carded army rifles that were stor-
Ca, to the Sumter High School, as
to sell them as old junk. The high
school boys have made good use OF
the old rifles and each year the sum
ter school graduates a large class
Of boys who have been thoroughly
drilled in the manual of arms and in
company and battalion field evo-
lutions.
So far as the writer knows the
Sumter schools were the pioneers in
the organization of cadet companies
among the school boys-the Sumter
High School battalion was certainty
the first to be organized in the State
Of South Carolina and probably the
first in the United States.
The success of the plan in Sumter
has demonstrated it's usefulness and
the endorsement of military instruc-
ton in public schools by Assistant
Secretary of War Oliver proves that
the officials of the War Department
have changed their point of view
since they refused to sell old army
rifles to the Sumter High School.
The following news article in the
Columbia Record indicates that the
Sumter plan Of giving military in
struction in the public schools may
soon be adopted throughout the
United States.
Il heartily endorse the plan. said
Adjutant General Moore. referring to
the proposal by Gen. w. Il. oliver,
assistant secretary OF war. that 9TH
er States pass acts similar to one
which has been tried out in Cali
fornia, permitting the enrolment Of
high school students into cadet COM
panies for military instruction. Ad-
jutant General Moore said the gen
eral adoption of the California idea
would create a highly efficient re-
serve corps and that besides the mill
tary training would be worth much |
In itself to the students.
General Oliver has dispatched TO
the governors of all the States a |
Letter inviting their attention to the
enactment by the California legisla- |
ture of a law providing for the or
ganization Of companies and batal-
lions Of high school boys. who are
to be armed with Krag-Jorgensen
rifles and trained by competent in
structors detailed from the regular
army"
