Fox, lis most unusual for this time of the year and 1 attribute such a state of affairs to the improved methods employed in the handling of the garbage. "The same methods have been employed at Miami and that town is also free of typhoid disease" Dr. Fox said that the decrease in typhoid meant a saving of over $50,000 to the citizens of Globe.
 Graham Guardian: Joseph All red, of Thatcher, has received notice that he is one of the several heirs to an estate in England valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. The property to be divid- ed is that accruing from the estate of Lord Calvert, who received land grant from the king of En- gland during the colonial period. Attorneys have been trying for many years to secure the property for the rightful owners, and it is only recently that their efforts have been successful. It is estimated that each heir will receive at least two million dollars as his or her share.
 Prescott Joural- Miner: Robert Burns, dry farmer of the Lucky Star mine, arrived from his ranch yesterday and states that with the assistance of copious rains that have fallen during the week, he is assured of big crop of hay, grain and vegetables. What the results would have been if storms had not come to his rescue, is problematical. He lost all last years crop through hail storms and is anticipating a recurrence of this danger.

breeding work in this State and for
the corn exposition. When the meas
ure came before the committee for
final consideration, A. D. Hudson,
with others associated with the expo
sition, was out of the State. Members
of the ways and means committee
were averse in their opinions to the
APPROPRIATION, contending that no
material results haG been obtained.
Ira w. Williams, being an expert ag-
riculturist, was called in by members
Of the committee and as an official OF
the federal department Of agriculture,
WAS asked to give his opinion as to
the results secured from the corn ex-
position and the Corn Breeders as
sociation. He gave his opinion, the
exact nature Of which is not known.
Following this conference the con-
mittee cut out the appropriation for
corn breeding work. Just before the
final adoption and when the measure
was before the finance committee OF
the senate, an appropriation or So
600 was inserted.
During the latter part Of tho last
session of the legislature it was
rumorcd that Mr.. Williams would be
removed from South Carolina, and 1t
was reported that DR.. Knapp was
about to take this action on represen-
tations made by him by Gov. Blease.
The governor, it is said, refused TO
consent to the appropriation Of $1O,-
600 for the farm demonstration work
unless this was done. Later, howey-
er, Mr.. Blease withdrew his objec-
ton and consented to the reta1nment
Of Mr.. Williams here. 1t Is known
that, meantime, Ira W. Williams,
together with several friends, ex'

consin had the anti-Taft field all to
himself, but he was not making any
progress, and 80 the whole scheme
OF opposition to the denomination OF
the president was recast. Zig busi-
ness, which does not want either Taft
or Wilson in the White House, agreed
to support a Roosevelt movement.
Then came a decision on the part OF
the anti-Taft Republicans to bring out
some favorite son candidates.
Senator Cummins Of Iowa was urg-
ed to permit the use Of his name In
this connection, and the understand
ing now is that he will make fight
for an Iowa delegation pledged to
support him. The real object is, OF
course. to prevent, if possible, the
Iowa delegation being instructed for
Taft. A good deal Of consideration
was given to the situation in Indiana
by the ants 1t was finally decided
to use the three names, La Toilette.
Beveridge and Roosevelt, in an ef-
fcrt to prevent instructions in that
State for President Taft.
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1911-12-30

planned to the governor that he had
not mixed in politics and that he had
never waged a campaign against the
governor. The appropriation Of S10,-
900 for the demonstration work went
through and nothing more was heard
about the removal OF Williams until
a few days ago.
1t is said that l.. L. Baker Of Bish-
opvlle, g. district agent OF the work,
is spoken Of for the position Of State
agent.
The State agent is appointed by DR..
Bradford Knapp on the decommenda-
ton Of the commissioner Of agricul-
ture. The State agent has the ap-
pointment Of 40 or so subordinate
workers throughout South Carolina.
That is an explanation Of the interest
of the governor in an election year Of
having the department operated to
suit him.

live IN MISERY
DRIVEN TO CONFESS ELS CRIME
BY VISIONS OF VICTIM.
News That Another Was Held For
Crime Drove the Fugitive Murder
er to the Confessional.

Haunted by visions Of his victim,
John Henry Marty surrendered to
the police at Baltimore Wednesday,
declaring that he was the murderer
Of William H. Mickle, an old store
keeper in 7th street, Washington. on
November II last.
Martin, who appears to be a ner-
yous wreck, said that he entered the
store, struck the man over the head
with a wrench, took the contents OF
the cash drawer and fed.
He said that he went to West Vir-
sinia and did not know that the man
he assaulted was dead until he read
it two weeks ago in a Washington
paper. He saw also that someone
else had been arrested for the crime.
The memory Of mis- deed and the
thought that an innocent person
might suffer for 1t, drove him to a
confessional where he told his story
to the priest. 1t was on the advice
of the latter, Martin said, that he
surrendered himself.
Martin formerly lived at Cumber-
land, Nd. He has been in Baltimore
only few days, he said. Martin told
the police that his first thought after
reading of the arrest of another for
the murder, was that he had had q
lucky escape.
"Then," he said, II began worry
ing. I could not rest; I could not
sleep. I have been in misery. I
would rather he hung or have any
thing else done to me than to be
tormented by my thoughts. The man
I killed kept cigar store on 7th
street, Washington. I went in there
asked him for money.
"He refused me and I struck him
over the head with monkey wrench.

Virginia and came here about three
weeks ago from Berkley Springs. I

At Berlin thirty-six homeless men,

others are sick, several of whom are

The cause of death has not yet

are confident that the putrld fish Is

WHAT HUDSON SAYS
SAYS BE is IN NO SENSE A CAND-
date.
Newberry Man Denies That BE Has
Been offered Position Of Commits
sioner Of Agriculture.

sioner OF Agriculture.
A. D. Hudson of Newberry Thurs
day made the following statement to
The State over the telephone from
his home:
"My attention has been called to
the article in The State Of this morn
ing. have had only one conVersa-
tion on the matter with Gov. Blease
and that was during the corn exposl-
ton. The only allusion he made to
the department of agriculture was
that the department was farce as
now operated, and he intended Veto
ing the appropriation for 1912, un-
less he had some assurance Of its do
ing some good for the farmers. Moth
ing was said about offering me the
position I am in no sense a candl-
date for the place.
"The suggestion that I was con-
nected with Mr.. Williams removal
is not true. When found that Will
liams had gone before the ways and
means committee (and, was reliably
informed, without invitation) and
opposed the appropriation for the
corn exposition, I took the matter
up with DR.. Knapp and requested
that Mr.. Williams be required to at
tend to his own affairs. I was sure
there was room for us all to work for
the betterment of agriculture in this
State, and I have neither the desire
nor the inclination to bring about
his removal.
"The party that furnished you this
story knew the facts but deliberately
distorted them. This same party did
seek to secure Williams removal, but
rumor had it that Williams had a
great deal of influence with Gov.
Blease. Then came his usual change
of front and ever after he has been
an ardent supporter of Mr.. Williams.
It does not take a very brilliant mind
to understand why.
am not in any sense an appl1-
cant for the position Of commissioner
Of agriculture or for Mr.. Williams
position. Alex u. HUDSON.

KILLED BY HUSBAND
HORRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED
NEAR GREENVILLN.
Victim Was Found in Bed With Head
Laid Open by and Axe With Her
Babe by Her Side.

Babe by Her Side.
In one Of the mill villages of
Greenville the coroner Is holding an
inquest into the death Of a woman
who was found in her bed at daybreak
Wednesday with her head split open
with an axe and her 2-year-old babe
immersed in a pool Of blood by her
side. The woman's husband Is locked
In q cell at the county jail, and finger
nails bearing blood stains uncleaned
by water used in erasing other traces
OF the foul crime point at him as the
guilty man.
At $50 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing Sheriff Poole received,a call from
Brandon mill, and in responding dis
covered. one of the most hideous
crimes that has stained the pages OF
Greenville's criminal history in some
years. In their three-room apart
mont the sheriff discovered Mrs. Alice
Campbell, wife of Lafayette Camp
bell, grovelling in her bed in pool
Of blood.
Her head had been mutilated some
time during the night with aome In
strument, huge cash laying open the
skull over the temple. A horrible
bruise on one check and other
wounds about the face almost blotted
out her identity. The woman was
not dead, and by her side lay her
babo, unharmed. Physicians were
called to tend the woman but after
removing sections Of her skull d ma
jor portion of brain, she died Wednes-
day afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock.
Immediately the sheriff and his as
1stants went to work to apprehend
the person guilty OF the crime. Living
in the house was another family, out
none of them had heard any distrub-
ance during the night. The husband
pointed out the bed in which. he said
be had spent the night, but 1t was in
another room from that in which his
wife slept.
Going on into the kitchen the Of
ficers discovered an axe leaning
against the wall and resting upon a
cow chain which had been piled on
the floor. The chain itself was
bloody, but the axe had been washed
OF all but a few stains OF crimson.
This led the officer to believe that
Immediately after tie commission of
the crime the bloody axe had been
stood upon the chain; that Later 1t
was taken up and the blade Of it
cleansed, then stood once more upon
the chain.
The officers also found an old sack
in the kitchen, which, though freshly
washed, showed traces Of blood. In
the stove they discovered scraps Of
burned rags bearing traces OF blood.
Later in the day suspicion began to
point to the womau's husband and
traces of blood on his finger nails led
the sheriff to place him under arrest
and carry him to tho county jail.
The murdered woman herself has
been In the courts Of this county.
Some years ago while defending her
husband from an attack by her own
brother she secured a revolver and
fired four shots into the latter's body.
For long tmie 1t was thought the
woman's brothers would die. The
case dragged through the courts for
some time and finally wore itself out
without any one being convicted.
