common for it to keep in company of
the traveller for several hundred yards.
No resident Of Arizona would kill a

the bird is the deadly enemy Of that

We don't know whether any Of our

cd that Mr.. Brown. whose yard leaves
much to be desired, has started a
small hedge. To be sure the piazza
rails are broken. the steps unsteady
and the lawn badly In need of atten-

by way Of a start. So the secretary
goes home and writes letter. using
the Improvement society's extremely

The result Is that Mr.. Browns ef-

Fees Larger.

Columbia, July 4.-For the first
half of the year 1911 the secretary of
States Office has taken in fees far in
excess of the fees for the whole of
the year 1910 thus indicating that
the amount of capitalization invested
in enterprises in South Carolina for
the six months of 1911 is greater
than the total amount invested in
the year 1910. Not only were the
fees in excess through June 80, but
through May 81 or for the first five
months of 1911, the fees received by
the secretary of State exceeded the
aggregate fees for 1910 by a small
amount. For the year 1910 the fees
at the Office amounted to S23, 1922.
For the five months of 1911 ending
may 31st the fees were s25,256.37.
For the month of juno, 1911, the
fees were s2,357.66. This years
business has been helped a few
thousand dollars by the notaries
public fees. The actual amount of
capital invested in new enterprises
for the year 1911 is not yet available
for publication as the books have not
yet been gone over to get the figures.

Speaks for Commission Plan.

Augusta, Ca, July wv. H.
Gibbes, mayor of Columbia, made a
fine impresson here tonight at the
meeting of citizens for discussion
of the commission plan of govern
ment, and did effective service for
the promotion of the cause in Au-
gusta. His advice, which was frank
to the point of beldness, was pitched
on high plane and frequently inter-
rubted with outbursts of applause.
He dealth largely with the basic prin-
ciples of the system, touched in no
uncertain words on the duties of citi-
zenship, and concluded with an out
line of what it had accomplished in
the capital city of South Carolina.
Mr.. Gibbes was given a rising vote
of thanks for his excellent speech and
the valuable information it obtained.
When the vote was taken, every man
in the hall arose in unanimous ex-
preston. Other speeches were made
by prominent citizens of this city.

Laborer Injured by Dynamite.

Anderson, July >6.-Vic Smith, a
negro employed on the grading force
by the interurban electric road be-
tween Belton and Greenwood, was
fatally wounded this afternoon when
a stick of dynamite exploded in his
face. It seems that six charges of
dynamite were placed and that when
one charge failed to explode the ne
gro went to investigate. The explo-
sion occurred as he was bending over
to make an investigation. His skull
was crushed, both, eyes were burned
out, his legs and arms broken, and
his body was otherwise horribly
mangled.
At the hospital tonight where the
negro was carried right after the ex-
plosion it was said that his condition
was very low and that he will die.

BLACK HAND FAILS.
Negro is Caught and Stolen Jewelry

H. T. Bledsoe, a prominent citizen
of Greensboro, Ala, received a
<tblack hand note Tuesday demand
ing $3.50 and that night recovered
jewelry valued at $500 that had been

Policeman Must Serve Sentence.

The supreme court in decision
given by Chief Justice Jones affirmed
the verdict of the Clarendon county
court in the case of the State against
Robert NJ. Barwick, who was convict
ed of manslaughter with recon-
mendation of the mercy of the court.
Robt. M. Barwick, who was employ
ed as a policeman of the town of
Pinewood, in Clarendon county, in
1908, was opening the way through
a crowd for passengers upon the ar
rival of train from Sumter. Thos.
Singleton, according to Barwick' g
version, declared in strong language
that he would not stand back for any
man. Barwick tried to arrest Single
ton who broke loose and ran. Bar
wick shot at him and killed Sam
Bracey, a bystander. There was
some question raised as to whether
Bracey was killed by Singleton or
Barwick. No official record is given
as to the length of the sentence of
Barwick.

MODERN ROMAN EMPIRE.
Survival of Some Phases of the An.
cient Conditions.

The Roman Empire is not yet ut
terly destroyed. Even in Rome there
still sits upon his throne a direct
successor to the Roman Emperor
the Pope, writes Guglielmo Ferrero,
in the Atlantic. He bears the very
title, Pontifex Maximus, with which
the Emperors were once accustomed
to adorn their names. He is the head
of that spiritual and religious en-
pire into which the material and po-
litical structure of the Roman En-
pire was transmitted at the downfall
of ancient civilization. From Rome
he still rules over interests and men
scattered throughout the whole
world, and the empire of which he
is the head has the same constitution
and is to-day affected by the Identical
maladies from which, even in it's
palmiest days, the Roman Empire
was perpetually suffering. Again, as
in the case of the Roman Empire, an
Emperor is elected for life under
purely autocratic methods, by virtue
of which, as head of the empire, he
is invested with prodigious authority
and burdened with responsibilities so
enormous and of such diverse kinds
that to cope with them demands tall
lents vast and varied as the response
bilities themselves.

DAN DUNCAN HANGED.
Charleston Negro Meets Death on
Scaffold for Killing Lubelsky.

Charleston, July 7.-Daniel Dun
can, a negro, was hanged at 11:01
o'clock for the murder on June 21,
1910, of Max Lubelsky, Jewish
merchant, the crime being among the
most atrocious in the annals of this
State
Until the last moment Duncan
showed great nerve but as the black
cap was being adjusted he tainted,
the trap being sprung while he was
in this condition. To the last the
negro stoutly maintained his inno-
cence of all knowledge of the crime,
leaving a statement for the newspa-
pers.
The murder of Lubelsky, a King
street tailor, occurred on June 21 Of
last year. He was found in his shop
senseless and lying in pool of blood.
The only clew left by the murderer,
whose motive was robbery, was a

later the widow of the murdered man
was attacked in her husbands place
of business in a manner similar to
that which resulted in the death of
Lubelsky. Duncan was seized out
side the store and recognized by a
neighbor as the man in whose hands
he had seen the stick with which the
tailor was killed shortly before the
murder took place. The negro was
tried and convicted of the crime. His
case was carried to the State SUI
preme court, which tribunal declined
to interfere with the verdict. Gov.
Blease declined to interfere also.

Smith Guilty of Manslaughter.

Walhalla, July Last night at
10 o'clock the jury in the case Of
Jesse Smith, charged with the kill
ing of his son-in-law, Beasley, re-
turned a verdict of guilty of man

A new trial was granted and the

considerable means and many
friends. The case has been aitterly

LOANS 81; RECEIVES $1,000.
Friendly Act by Nebraska Man is
Returned with Big Interest.

Omaha, Neb., July 1.--Fred T.
Redmond, a resident of North Plat
te, a year ago was approached by a
stranger who asked him for loan
of 81.
The stranger explained that ne
was broke, but figured that if he
could raise the money he could buy
a railroad ticket to point where
work awaited him and would have
81 left, which, if invested judicious-
", would enable him to recoup his
fortunes.
Mr.. Redmond laughed in the
strangers face at first and told him
he was not in the habit of lending
money.
The stranger pleaded SO hard,
however, that Mr.. Redmond at last
gave him the 81, wished him good
luck and told the bookkeeper to
charge it to profit and loss.
Recently Mr.. Redmond received a
certified check from the stranger for
$1,O04-the 81 being the original
loan and the $1,000 the interest
which the borrower had figured on
the same.

Judge and Attorney Quarrel.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 7.-Charg-
ing that Judge William Dickinson
had "mutilated" the record of the
George B. Cox perjury case, Assistant
Prosecutor Coleman Avery precipi-
tated a quarrel in chambers to-day
that ended in his being ordered to
leave the room. The irate Judge is
said to have offered to settle the dis
pute by personal combat.
"You made up this bill of excep-
ton to suit yourself" Avery told the
judge. The row followed. Judge
Dickinson declared afterwards that
he had attempted to correct the bill
in few minor particulars and then,
in order to send a neat bill to the
higher court, he had the pages con-
tanning the determinations and eras-
ures copied.
