TRAGEDY IN GREENvILLE.
Robert McAbee Dead, Lee Holland
Perhaps Fatally Wounded.

Greenville, Feb. TN a pitched
battle tonight, on a public highway,
between a posse, headed by Lee Hol-
land, intendant of the village Of
Mauldin, six miles below Greenville,
and Robert McAbee and his son, Will,
of Enore, Spartanburg county, Rob-
ert McAbee was shot dead and Lee
Holland probably fatally injured.
According to the account of the
killing, told by Sheriff J. Perry
Poole, Of this county, McAbee and his
son left Enore Saturday morning to
spend the night with Thomas Fowler,
who lives near Mauldin. About a
mile above the village the two met a
white man in the road, one Thomp-
son, and fired five times at him, none
of the shots taking effect. The in
cident passed and father and son
drove into Mauldin. In passing
through the village McAbee fired a
pistol ball through both walls of
store conducted by Lee Holland and
fled up the road with his son. Hol-
land organized posse and started
out to arrest McAbee and his son.
1t seems that in fleeing McAbee
and his son took the wrong road and
attempted to retrace their steps. 1t
was while they were going back that
they were met by Holland and the
posse. Immediately Robert McAbee
drew his revolver and opened fire on
the posse, one shot passing through
Hollands right breast. No sooner
had McAbee fired than members of
the posse returned the fire. The
older McAbee fell to the ground, his
body pierced by one pistol ball and
his head by three. He expired about
an hour later in the road.
Despite the fact that he was shot
through the breast, Holland placed
the younger McAbee under arrest
and conducted him back to Mauldin,
where he held him until Sheriff Poole
arrived, about II o'clock.
The sheriff brought young Nc
Abee back to Greenville, and he now
rests in the county Jail. The older
McAbee lies, a corpse, in the public
highway this side of the village of
Mauldin, awaiting the coroner's in
quest.
Fom all accounts McAbee was a
bad character. It is stated that he
left his home, near Enoree, with a
half gallon of whiskey and a pistol
in his buggy. He has brother serv-
ing a sentence in the State peniten-
tiary now for killing a man by the
name of Fowler, near the scene of
this killing, some years ago. 1t is
said that McAbee was going after a
child of the brother, who is in the
penitentiary, at the time he ran
amuck tonight.
Holland is the first mayor of the
town of Mauldin, which was incor-
porated only a few months ago. He
is a substantial citizen, planter and
a merchant of prominence in his Sec
ton, and is we'll known in Green
Vile. He is prominently connected
and is a son of the first supervisor
of Greenville county.

terson introduced house bill number
1866, which authorizes the secre-
tary of the interior to place on the
pension rolls the name of "James H.
Tillman, late colonel, First regiment,
South Carolina Volunteers, infantry
in the War with Spain" This bill,
it was learned to-day, recently passed
the house and now awaits the ac-
ton of the senate. While it is not
known positively what action will be
taken by the senate on the measure,
it is hardly probable that Senator
Tillman would fail to- help it along
there. II it receives a satisfactory
vote, James H. Tillman will receive
the amount set out, $50 a month, as
long as he lives.

Pension for j. HI. Tillman.

Senator Tillman has refrained from
discussing any phase of the situation
concerning the denial, by James H.
Tillman, his nephew, of certain state
ments, as to the latter's physical con-
tdition, attributed to the senator by
northern newspapers. To all inqui-
ries, he has replied that he did not
care to discuss the matter.
However, James H. Tillman will
not die in want, no matter what his
condition may be at this time. He is
to go on the government pension
rolls in the near future, unless the
senate kills a bill that has already
passed the house, providing that he
shall hereafter receive a pension at
the rate of $50 per month.

AIM TO ABOLISH
TIPPING SYSTEM
Commercial Travellers Ask
Hotel Men to Aid.

Determined that hotels in the United
States shall abolish the system of tip
ping, whereby, 1t is said. the employees
derive more than half their income, and
which is almost compulsory on the part
of the patrons. the commercial travel
ers, through the Commercial Travellers
National League, have declared war on
the tipping system, and are preparing to
carry the fight into every city in this
country.
Letter. have been sent to proprietors
of a ma ajOrty Of the big hoStelries and
many 0f the smaller ones, especially
those catering % travelling men, request
ing that the subject be given immediate
consideration, under penalty of being
hlackballed on the travelling mems list.
To make the campaign more effective.
the commercial organizations have drawn
UP plans whereby a big Office located
in the center of each city will be equipped
for the uses of a sample room, where
commercial travellers will show their
goods. Money will be appropriated for
this purpose. and If it bears fruit the
hotels which fail to comply with the
above demands will lose the patronage
of thousands of guest annually.
The commercial men figure that they
spend more than $780, 100000 annually in
hostelry bills. of which s2j.OOO,OOO is used
for tips alone.
The letter states that the tipping
abuse is regarded as a hOld-up, and
that hotel guests are expected to hand
out the coin for every service or atten-
tiOn by the hotel help-frOm the bellboy
who carries the grip of an incoming
guest TO the taxi announcer who sees
him depart"
That part of the public patronizing

nuisance of the tipping system condoned

states.
