Execution Must Go Forward.

Columbia, June 1.-THE supreme
court to-day refused to interfere in
the sentence passed on ]. B. Bates,
the Spartanburg man who entered a
plea of insanity and for whom a 1u-,
macy commission was recently nam,
ed. Bates is under sentence of death
for murder and is to be hanged in
August. The appeal to the supreme
court was from the motion of cir.
cult judge refusing new trial and
for a stay of sentence pending this
appeal. The supreme court Friday,
in an order, refuses to Interfere.
Bates was policeman Of Spartan
burg. He shot and killed his former
mistress, after she had married an
other man. The plea of Bates's attor-
ney, Mr. Stanyarne Wilson, was in.
sanity. Bates has twice been SEN
fenced to hang. A commission was
by Judge Wilson to ex-
anime him and the report was that
Bates was responsible for his actions
at the time of the murder.

Venire DISCHARGED. .

Hampton, June 19.-Judge DeVore
to-day discharged the entire venire of
iurymen drawn for this term of
court, thus necessitating further de-
lay in the case of L. B. Tuten, charg-
ed with the murder of J. R. Langford.
The ground for the discharge of the
venire was that it was illegally
drawn. Following the discharge of
talesmen, the State decided to ask
for a change of venue in the Tuten
case. This will be argued before the
Judge tomorrow. After a decision
on this motion the court will ad-
journ.
The irregularity in the drawing of
the jury arose through the county au-
ditor's relation. to the defendant,
Tuten. Both the sheriff and clerk of
court were unable to attend at the
drawing of the jury, and the county
auditor held himself disqualified to
assist by reason Of his relationship to
the defendant. A deputy sheriff, the
county superintendent of education
and the county treasurer then pro-
ceeded to draw the jury. The court
held this method to be irregular, and
hence discharged the venire.

$4,000 Fire at Kingstree.

Kingstree, June 16.-Kingstree
suffered serious loss to-day by fire.
About l o'clock fire was discovered
in the residence of DR.. A. Snider.
There was strong breeze, and the
fire spread rapidly to the residence
of B. F. Patrick and from there to
that of A. S. Coker. The fire is sup
posed to have started from the ex-
plosion of vulcanizer in the dental
office of DR.. Snider, which is attach
ed to his residence. All of the build
ings were very dry and burned very
rapidly. DR.. Snider had very fine
library which was totally destroyed.
The entire loss is estimated at
about $4,000, as follows: DR.. Sni-
der, $4,000, with $4,000 insurance;
r. F. Patrick's residence, owned by
the Kingstree Building and Loan
association, $4,000, with $1,000 in
surance; residence of A. S. Coker,
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance.

In fire at Rock Hill last Saturday

United States engineers have be-
gun the work of making a prelim-
mary survey of the Edisto river from
Orangeburg to Charleston to ascer-
tain if the Stream can be made navi-

There is a movement on foot to
make a national park at the Cowpens
battle field in Cherokee county, near
Gaffney. The Gaffney board of trade
has taken up the matter, and will
interest the South Carolina represen-
tatives in congress in the project.
Other places are having trouble
over the dates Of the Clemson train.
The train was advertised to be at
Ridge Spring a few days ago, but
it went to Batesburg instead. A lot
of people were in Gaffney last Sat-
urday to see the train, but the date
for Gaffney is July 18th instead of
June 18th. The gentlemen in charge
had best look we'll to their dates if
they wish an audience.
United States Senator T. P. Gore,
the blind Senator from Oklahoma,
has written us letter declaring that
Woodrow Wilson is his choice for
president. William ]. Bryan was in
terviewed in Columbia this week and
stated that he did not regard Har-
mon as a possibility, and his nomina-
ton by the Democrats would be a
step backwards and mistake. Mr..
Bryan did not commit himsef to any
candidate, but he appears to like
Woodrow Wilson and Champ Clarke.
J. B. Stroman has sent in his res.
ignation to the governor as game
warden of Orangeburg county, as he
states in his letter of resignation that
he has no funds at his command to
enforce the law and receives no sup
port from those citizens who should
be interested in having the law en-
forced. MFR. Stroman says that peo-
pie from an adjoining county come in
droves to the South Edisto armed
with dynamite and Winchester rifles
and filled with corn whiskey, and af-
ter breaking loose as many boats as
possible, proceed to blow up every
living or creeping thing near the
river. If the fish are being slaugh-
tered as he states, some action should
certainly be taken at once.

PHONED WIFE AND DIED.
Mangled in Wreck, Preacher Called
Her up from Operating Table.

Sorrow swept over the community
when the accidental death of the
Rev. Cecil L. Marrack at Ross be-
came generally known. From all
sides were heard expressions of
sympathy and sorrow and words of
tribute to the character of the Rev.
Mr.. Marrack as clergyman, social
worker, and man.
From the scene of the accident he
was carried to the Hund Sanatorium.
AS soon as he was carried within he
asked for the telephone. The slight
est jar caused shocking pain, but he
asked the attendants to place the
head cf his stretcler on the phone
table. Fire Chief Daniel Schneider,
of San Rafael, supported the foot of
his couch. One of the uninjured
clergymen called Mrs. Marrack while
another held the receiver to the dy-
ing mans ear. He controlled his
voice by supreme effort.
''Is this you, dear?" he asked his
wife.
She answered, asking what was
the matter.
Il am here in Ross, in hospital -
he replied. I'VE have met with an
automobile accident Don't be afraid.
1 am alive. 1 think it would be best
for you TO come over here. I will not
be home tonight. Good-by, dear.
And pray for me, won't you?
These were the last words his wife
heard her husband utter.
He sank back exhausted with his
effort, and never again fully regain
ed consciousness.
81 never saw finer example OF
nerve and endurance said Daniel
Schneider, chief of the San Rafael
ambulance and fire service, in telling
of the accident.
MIR. Marrack was Sucn a large
man and so badly injured that we
placed him in the ambulance alone.
The lower part of his body was
crushed and the lower leg completely
shattered, yet he bit his lip and kept
from groaning. When we passed
over the railroad tracks it was more
than he could endure, and he cried
out sharply. But when the hospital
door was reached he pulled himself
together pluckily, and I have never
seen such grit displayed by any man
as when he insisted. on telephonine
to his wife. He died before Mrs
Marrack could reach him" San
Francisco Call.

Fell from 2Sth Floor.

New York, June 16.-The financi-
al district witnessed a gruesome Incl
dent at is busiest hour this after
noon when VIM. Anderson, a stone
cutter, fell from the 2Sth floor of the
Bankers Trust company building,
nearing completion at Wall and
BroAd Streets In setting a stone An
derson slipped and fell. His one
wild cry as he realized his doom at
tracted the attention of bankers and
brokers as the body came hurtling
down through space. On a stone
coping at the fourth floor the body
struck and it's impact. at that point
was so tremedous that an arm was
torro off and left lying on the sill
as the body bounded out and crash
ed onto the heavy wire netting at
the first floor which had been spread
over Wall street to protect traffic
while the building was being erected.
The screen acted like spring
board and threw the body into the
air again. 1t dropped finally, horri-
bly, mangled, in front of the Wall
street entrance of the stock ex-
change. Excitement in the street
was so intense and the crush SO
dense that the police reserves had
to be called out from the nearest sta
ton to resore order.

President Replies to Detractors.

Washington, June 15.-The first
authoritative answer to the charge
that the administration uses the ap-
pointive power of the president to
further political ends was made by
President Taft to-day. In conversa-
ton with friends the president de-
clared that he would be delighted ii
congress takes from his hands the
duty of naming collectors of internal
revenue, United States marshals and
postmasters of the second and third
classes. The president told his Wis
itors that nothing which congress
could do would be received more
gladly by him than this act. He
would be happy, he said, if congress
would extend the civil service law to
include such Offices. Practically
every post up to the grade of United
States district attorney, the president
told his callers, should be put under
the civil service regulations.
He has recommended such action
to congress in past messages and said
he expects to make similar recon-
mendations in the future. He de-
clared his belief that there is a lot
of Hypocrisy IN the charges made
by senators and others that a politi-
cal machine has been built up
through appointments to such Off

Ehrhardt EtchingS.

Ehrhardt, June 19.-The farmers
are all interested about rain. The
corn crops are needing rain very bad
in this section; cotton, where the
farmers succeeded in getting the cot
ton up, looks very fine. Mr.. Frank
HERS brought me cotton blossom
last week one day; says his cotton
crop is very fine. We have gotten a
few little showers of rain along, but
not enough moisture for long time.
Fish fries have been the order of
the day for some time, but the water
in the streams is so low until the
fish are hard to get any more.
The weather has been very warm
some of the tony folks are talking of
going to the mountains for relief.
Quite a crowd went to Charleston
Sunday to pass away the time on the
Isle of Palms.
The Hacker Mfg. Co. will soon
have their new mill ready for cutting
lumber They are very busy work
ing on their machines.
Mr.. J. B. Ramsey went to Savan-
nah, Ca, Saturday night to take a
little recreation from his work.
Will return on Sunday night.
The work of taking the levels of
the Ehrhardt & Denmark railroad is
progressing nicely Will soon have
same completed and ready for build
ing.
Will soon have the Ehrhardt
phone line up and at work. Poles
are up, and a man will be on the
ground to put up the line and con-
meet with the switch board.
A young man in town returning
from church Sunday night with two
young ladies and another young man,
left the crowd very abruptly at a
corner of the street. When asked
why he did thus, said: ''Why, --
took the prettiest young lady and l
did not know the other so we'll, so
went home"
Mrs. w. L. Mitchum died very
suddenly Sunday night at her home.
She went to visit her mother Sunday
and returned about or little before
sun down; seemed to be cheerful and
in good spirits, talking jovial with
her friends as she met or passed
them on the streets. About one or
two O'Clock at night, her infant babe
commenced crying and Billie got up,
after calling his wife without re-
sponse, and lighted lamp; found
she had passed away. He spread
the alarm as soon as he could, sum-
moning their physician at once, who
said that Mrs. Mitchum had passed
away at least an hour or more. She
will be buried at st. Johns church
at about five o'clock this afternoon.

made no formal announcement and
his interests are largely in the hands
of his friends.
John NJ. Slaton is another. He has
long been prominent in State politics,
having been speaker of the house be-
fore going to the senate. He is said
to have large and especially strong
following. Thomas Hudson, former
commissioners of agriculture, is yet
another. His strength lies principally
in south Georgia, which has not been
represented in the governors man
sion for long time. John G. Hart,
former attorney general, is men
toned. He is little of the politician
as the term is popularly used, and is
not considered strong campaigner.
On the other hand, Richard B. Rus
sell is good campaigner and has
held some kind of public office ever
since he grew up. Another among
those mentioned is Judge Charles H.
Brand, of Athens.
Organization of the two houses is
not causing much concern. Mr..
Slaton seems to have everything his
own way for president of the SEN
ate. A. O. Blalock, of Fayette coun-
ty, has no opposition for president
pro tenn nor Charles S. Northen, of
Atlanta, for secretary.
In the house John n. Holder, OF
Jefferson, Jackson county, has no op-
position for speaker since William
H. Burwell retired from the race.
There has been some talk of H. W.
Hopkins, of Thomas, but little has
been heard of his candidacy recently.

HOSIERY MILL NATTER.
Prison Directors to Consider Fur
ther Annulling of Contract.

i
ther Annulling of Contract.
Columbia, June 1S.-Wednesday
is the day set for the special meet
ing of the State board of penitentiary
directors, at which time the details
of the annulling of the hosiery mill
contract will be arranged, according
to schedule.
Following a recent meeting of the
board, at which the agreement was
reached that the hosiery mill be abol-
ished, it was announced that at the
special session on the 21st, the meth
cd of procedure would be outlined
and the matter taken up with Capt.
John NJ. Graham, who has the con-
tract with the penitentiary directors
in the matter of the labor in the
hosiery mill.
Nothing that has come up in recent
months has created so much COM
ment (save the Fielder incident,) as
the hosiery mill abolishment. The
State board of health's report, COM
ing after Gov. Blease had asked for
an investigation and the same had
been directed by the legislature, stir
red the State as to this form of labor
and at the meeting of the board of
directors it was decided to adopt the
State board of health's recommenda-
tion
What to do with the convicts has
been generally discussed in the press
of this State There are about 800
workers in the hosiery mill and it
will be quite task to give them out
door work. Most papers have ia
vored the work on the chain gangs.
This will be impossible with some of
the dangerous prisoners. Safeblow-
ers and murderers work side by side
in this mill and there are here the
worst element of the States crimi-
mails.
In the list of suggestions is that
of farm work. For the same reason
some of those in the hosiery mill will
not be able to be placed on the work
in the farms of the penitentiary.
The State board of penitentiary di-
rectors has made no official an
nouncement of what form of work
will be given the men and women in
the hosiery mill. Chairman Sanders,
being asked for a suggestion along
this line, replied this would be work
ed out at the meeting here and in
advance he did not care to make any
statement for publication as to this
part of the matter.
There are other suggestions of the
State board of health to be taken up
at this meeting of the board.

A TERRIBLE BEATING.
Greenville County Man Victim Of
Mob.

Charging conspiracy with intent
to MURDER" arrest warrants for ten
white men were sworn out yester-
day morning before local magis-
trate at the instance of S. M. Babb,
of Austin township, who related a
terrible story of how he was trapped
at his home last Sunday about mid
night by a mob and dragged to a
patch of woods where he was beaten
into insensibility.
The deponent is a brother Of Tul-
ly Babb, the man who is now serv-g
ing sentence for the alleged killing
of a man by the name Of knight sew
eral years ago in this county.
Babb was brought to the city yes
terday by his aged father and the
two went before a magistrate of the
city and had the warrants for the
ten parties issued. The names Of
the parties for whom the warrants
have been issued cannot be divulgeds
until all arrests have been made.
S. M. Babb presented a truly pitt
liable appearance yesterday when heSS
appeared before the magistrate, the
man having to be supported by his
aged father. Babb was so sore from
the beating, or some other cause,
that he could scarcely walk. His
face bore marks of terrible blows in-s
f1icted in some manner. The mans
forehead was almost a solid sore
from one temple to another.
If the story told by Babb yester-
day is correct, this is one of the
most terrible acts perpetrated in the
county in some time. Babb stated
that on last Sunday night, some
where about the hour of midnight,
so far as he was able to Judge, hes
was awakened by someone calling
him from the yard.
On being awakened, Babb said hes
went to the door in his night clothes:
to ascertain what was wanted. AS
he stepped into the yard he said hes:
was seized from behind and that 81
mob of men closed in on him and
beat him right in his yard. Babb
said he was then dragged to patch
of woods some two hundred yards.
from his house and that there he
was dubbed and beaten into insen-
sibility. 5s 5s
Babb lives on what is known ass
the "old Adams place." in Austin
township, some three miles below
the station Of Mauldin. The depon-
eAt was unable to say precisely how
many men were in the crowd which
he alleges attacked him, but he was
able to swear out arrest warrants
for ten. He said that the crowd
was composed mostly Of young men:
and that they had been drinking
since Saturday night. Babb could
offer no reason as to why he should
be set upon by mob like this and
|sbeaten.
1t was stated yesterday that par
Elephants in the alleged fray of Sum
day night say that they beat the
wrong man, for they were searching
for man who had been living i'm
adultery in the neighborhood, wish
ing to administer a fogglng to him
in the hopes of running him out Of
the community.
The affair has created consider
able excitement in that section Of
the county and the outcome Of the.
situation will be watched with great
interest," News.
