TO REMAIN IN JAIL AWHILE
Nursing Mother Will Begin Serv-
ing Life Sentence Later.

Columbia, Aug. 5. - Special AT
the urgent request of the trial
Judge, the Hon. r. c. Watts, Gov
ernor Blease has commuted to ten
years the life sentence imposed at
Spartanburg last month on a negro
youth, John Henry Drummond, who
killed his stepfather, it is alleged,
at the command of his mother,
Anna Drummbond was also con-
victed and given a life sentence,
put in her case the Governor, act
ing on the recommendation of
Judge Watts, has ordered that the
woman be kept in the Sparttanburg
county Jail for some months be-
fore being committed to the Peni-
tentlary, because she has a young
baby, which requires her care.
Judge Watts wrote the Governor
on July 81: Anna Drummond and
John Henry Drummond were con-
Vlcted before me to-day of murder
with recommendation TO mercy.
They were charged with killing the
husband of Anna Drummond. An
ma Drummond has a nursing infant
in her arms, about two months old :,
and l think it would be in the in
terest of humanity that she be al
lowed to stay in Jail here until the
10 SS'Si dl IlohIIS OlueI. JOHn
Henry Drummond is only about 12
years old and whatever he did in
the homicide case was evidently un-
der the influence and direction of
his mother. l think that his SEN
tence should Immediately be COM
muted to ten years. / think it
would be better to let him stay in
the Penitentiary until that time; at
the expiration of that thine he
should be freed. desire to act
on this matter at once by reason
of the fact that in ten years time
from now there is no telling wheth-
er | will be living or not and no
telling what the Governor at that
time would do. l have already SEN
fenced him to the Penitentiary for
life: With kind regards and best
wishes" etc.

MAINE WRECK OUT OF WATER
Removal of Mud the Task Now
Lying Before Engineers.

Havana, July 21. - All the wa
ter in the cofferdam surrounding
the Maine has been removed, show
ing the wreck embedded in the mud
from the estimated depth of thirty
seven feet around the after part
of the vessel to an indeterminable
depth. Part of the lower deck of
vessel has completely disappeared.
The engineers intend to begin the
work of drawing out the soft mud
suction. simultaneously they will
begin the work of dissecting the
great confused mass of metal The
bow section now stands upward of
twenty feet high.
A curious feature resulting from
the removal of the water is that
amidship the main deck and CEN
tral superStructure, remaining prac-
tically level, constitute in effect
great cantilever sustaining their
own weight without any direct un-
der support. The structural parts
Of the ship beneath this section
have been destroyed. The aft mid
ship section of the berth deck in
which were the ward rooms. is full
ly exposed and almost entirely fill
ed with mud, the removal of which
will be slow and difficult Hopes
are entertained that in this sec
tion may be found the body of
Assistant Engineer Merritt. who is
believed to have been in his state
room at the time of the disaster
Some bones were discovered near
the overturned coming tower,
where the remains of probably four
bodies were previously found.
From present indications three or
four months will elapse before the
mud surrounding the wreck is re-
and all portions of the ship
made visible

TWO DROWN AT COLUMBIA.
Boat Springs Leak and browns Two
Young Men at Park Lake.

keene Brown and Clarence Orig
gers, well known young men OF Co
lumbia, were drowned n Ridgewood
lake yesterday a few minutes before
noon. The lake is about 200 yards
from the end of the car line and
is summer amusement park.
The two young men who lost
their lives and J. w. Parent and
j. b. Lewis, all employed on the
Seaboard Air Line, were taking a
boat ride on the lake Brown.
Driggers and Parent were in one
boat and Lewis in another with a
boy whose name is not known.
They had been down to the dam
about half mile from the
pavilion and were on their way
back to surrender the boat when
the accident occurred. Lewis and
the little boy were possibly 100
yards ahead of the other young
men.
Parent, the young man who
was in the boat with Brown and
Driggers, but was saved, said that
the boat they used, No. 3. had wa
ter in when they took it. 1t was
dipped out. John Fause, the negro,
who rented them the boats, said
the water had been splashed in by
the people who last used the boat.
Lewis verified this statement by
Parent.
Parent said the water contiued
to come in as they went down the
lake and back. He thought the
boat leaked. They continued to dip
it out, the best they could, but
the boat went down about 200
yards west of the pavilion and about
rs yards from the shore. Parent
clung onto the boat, and Brown and
DrigRers made an effort to swim to
the bank. A little boy came to
Parent and gave what assistance
he could.
Boat Examined.
Several hours after the accident
the boat was brought up to the
pavilion and examined. but no leaks
were found. 1t is the theory that
the occupants of the boat were sit
ting too much on one side and the
water gradually came over in the
boat.
The place where the accident oc
CURED is about seven or eight feet
deep,if they went down in the chan
mel of the creek, the water in thi:
part of the lake is only four OIL
five feet deep. 1t is not known
whether or not Brown and Driggers
could swim
The young men, with the eXcep
tion of Driggers, had worked Sun
day night. Keene Brown wa:
night watchman; J. w. Parent i;
night hostler: J. E. Lewis is nigh
clerk in the yard office, and Clar
ence Driggers was employed a.
fireman. He had not worked fol
the past few days, owing TO the en-
gine on which he fired being
"cutt Off" They went out yester
day morning for a little recrea.
ton, rowing on the lake. Driggers
joined the party on the corner OF
Main and Taylor streets

THE PRIZE ACRE OF COTTON.
Clifton &. Stanton Has Acre That
Challenges Attention.

Mr.. Editor: We have heard
OF many boys in this section COM
peting for prizes in the corn con-
test, but little has beens aid of
Lrize acres of cotton, as the corn
seems to take the day, but if some
of the men in this section who are
interested in farming will call
around to see a prize acre of cot
ton that Mr.. Clifton c. Stanton
has on the ID. McDaurin plantation,
ujst above Little Rock, we believe
they would open their eyes. 1t was
with some difficulty that Mr.. Stan
ton succeeded in getting good
stand, and because somewhat dis
couraged at first, and did not
wish it known that he expected
any unusual or remarkable yield
from this acre, but he does not
now seem to be ashamed to con-
fess that he did plant and fertil-
iZe with the intention of gathering
as much cotton as any farmer in
this community from one acre of
ground. Barcadwells double Joint
ed is the variety that he planted
and we are constrained to believe
that more will be heard of it later.
Respectfully.

AUTOMOBILE TURNS TURTLE
Three Injured Near AsheviIle, One
PerhapS Fatally.

Hendersonville, NJ c., Aug. s.
Special: Within plain sight of
helpless passengers on the passing
Carolina Special" an automobile
with five occupants turned turtle
on the level ASheville highway,
near here this morning. Three of
them prominent people of Char
lotte and Columbia, were caught
underneath the car with possible
fatal injuries to one of them. The
cause of the accident is still uneX-
planned.
Mrs. Fred. II. White, of Charlotte,
sustained a broken arm and serious
internal INJURIES. She may recov-
er. Mrs. J. B. Whitford, of Char
lotte, has her collar bone and arm
broken. Although seriously injur-
ed she will recover. The car was
driven by it's owner, Fred II. White,
of Charlotte, who was ghtly in
jured. The other occupants, both
of whom jumped and escaped in
jury, were J. b. Whitted, and Mrs.
S. II. Norcombe, of Columbia.
The party were guests of Kanuga
Club en- route to Asheville. The
first aid was rendered by the
of a passing car, who
made record time in getting the
party back to Kanuga Club, where
the injured are now receiving med
ical attention.

MANY EVADE INCOME TAN.
Properly Enforce or Repeal Law,
Says Jones.

Columbus, August 4. - Special:
The chances are that Comptroller
General Jones will repeat the re-
commendation that he made last
year with reference to the income
taX law. Last year Mr.. Jones report
ed: Unless provision is made to
secure impartial enforcement of the
law i'll common justice to those
who are now making true returns,
the whole law should be repealed"
The law appears to operate in
spurts. While there can be no
doubt that the incomes in this
State are larger than they have
been, the record shows that dur
ing the year 1910 the income tax
received by the State was less
than in previous years. The whole
fact of the matter is that there is
a disposition to ignore the law
Practically half of the entire
amount paid now comes from
Richland and Charleston counties.
In Greenville county the total
amount paid on account of the in
come tax is less than $4OO, while
in 1906 it was almost twice this
amount.
Powerless Under Present System
Mr.. Jones admits that he is
W SSCuTS q DeIIGr ell
forcement of the law unless he
has more direct control over the
county auditors, and this seems to
be impracticable. AS Mr.. Jones
points out, it is found that the
auditors in some counties are dis
posed to be careful in the en-
forcement of the law, while in
other counties they are entirely
Indifferent. There are eight coun-
ties in the State that make no
returns whatever, indicating that
there are no business men in'l
those counties having an income of
over $4,000.
The Supreme Court has indicat-
ed that the law is constitutional,
but the court is powerless to sug-
gest method by which it can be
more generally enforced. and all
that it can say is that the prin-
ciple is right, but it has no meth
cd of enforcing the law. OF course
the whole situation resolves back
into the efficiency of the county
auditors
The revenue from the income
tax law, which has been on the
statute books since 1898, is now
$l4 900; last year 1t was $4,000.
IL Mr.. Jones could stir up the
auditors in the counties the in
come would probably be four-fold,
but 1T has been vain fight for
more than ten years.
