Jerome Harley Acquitted.

Orangeburg, May 6.-Jerome Har-
ley was tried to-day for the murder
of George F. Philips, near North,
about two months ago, and as no
proof could be made out that Harley
fired the gun that killed Philips, a
verdict of not guilty was ordered.
Victor Philips, a son of the deceased,
is also held for the killing. He will
be tried later. Victor Philips testi-
fed that he killed his father by &C
cident. Young Farley and Harley
had had quarrel and Harley had
followed Philips back to Philips's S
home. When Harley entered the
door young Philips saw Harley had
O. pistol and he picked up the gun
that was in the corner of the room.
Philips said the gun went off through
some means unknown to him and the
load struck his father, causing his
death a day later. The elder Philips
was standing at another door of the
room.

Should Attract Immigrants.

Monroe, La, May 5.-Predicting
that the resources of the South will
divert immigration toward this Sec
ton, G.. Grosvenor Dave, director
general of the Southern Commercial
congress, delivered an address to-
night to the delegates of the Louisi-
ana Farm Lands congress on the SUBJ
ject of Immigration"
eff we uphold the standard of our
civilization" he said, "the South is
bound to lead the nation again within
a generation. The Canadian govern
ment expends vast sums annually to
secure selected immigrants. The
South can and should do the same.
The nation should welcome all who
will help build a greater nation
upon the governmental ideas, and
the South will become by the million
those immigrants who meet these re-
quirements and who will help us keep
racial purity paramount"
The congress comes to an end to-
morrow.

To Regulate Saloons.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 5.-FolloW-
ing the defeat of constitutional
amendment for Statewide prohibi-
ton at a recent election the State
senate to-day passed drastic bill
regulating the saloons of the State
by vote of II to 5.
Among it's prohibitive provisions
are sale of liquor to habitual drunk
ards, saloons to close at o'clock
and not open until the following
morning, to abolish all screens, the
use of all music or games and that
no more than one-fourth of a pint of
any intoxicant shall be sold to GUS
toner, this to be in sealed pack
ages. The object is to prevent bar
room drinking. 1t is believed certain
that the measure will pass the house
and become law, that body already
having signified it's attitude towards
the sale of whiskey.

Flat Rock Hotel Burned.

Hendersonville, N. c., May IA
$4,000 fire this morning totally de-
stroyed C. E. Roper's summer hotel
at Flat Rock, two miles from here.
The building, which was situated on
high hill, near the Flat Rock de-
pot, was less than year old, and
the spectacular blaze attracted hum
dreds of spectators. The building
and contents were insured for S1l,-
600. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
Mr.. Roper spent last night in Hen
dersonville and the only occupants
of the building were his two sons,
who awoke to find the forty-reom
structure ablaze in many parts. Mr..
Roper probably would have sold his
hotel Tuesday to an Atlanta man.
The hotel was erected at cost OF
$4,000 and had not yet opened for
the summer.

Two Children Burn.

Batesburg, May 7.-Informatlon
was received here to-day of fire
yesterday on the farm of Henry Der
rick, adjoining the Cedar Grove
church, near Leesville, in which his
two little children were burned to
death and his residence destroyed,
The fire was discovered by neigh
bors, it seems, during the early af-
ternoon, when the parents of the
children had driven to one of the
adjoining fields. The children, one
of them 2 and the other years of
age, were heard screaming inside the
house, and efforts were made to res
cue them, but the flames had gained
so much. headway it was impossible
to get inside the building.
! Their bodies were found In the
debris and taken to Columbia last
night.
The loss, in the destruction of the
dwelling, amounts to about $4,000.

trial in the case against Former
Deputy Sheriff F. G. Watkins, con-
victed of the killing at Black Noun
tain two years ago of John Hill Bunt-
ing, a travelling man representing
Chattanooga, Tenn, concern, upon
the allegation that a juror had gone
into the box prejudiced against the
defendant. The court stated that had
a report of the charge against the
juror been made earlier in the trial
cognizance of the matter woult have
been taken, but that it was too late
now. Watkins was sentenced to- two
years in the State penitentiary, and
notice of an appeal to the supreme
court was given.

GRN1SLEY HELD FOR MURDER.
Inquest Over Remains of Mrs. Bes-
singer and Walter Sandifer.

Columbia, May 1.-The coroner's
jury fastened the blame upon Ernest
Grimsley for the killing yesterday
of Walter Sandifer and Mrs. Cora
Bessinger, at the inquest held this
afternoon. The solicitor of this cir
cult was present and it is stated that
an indictment will be handed out at
the term of court, commencing to-
morrow.
The story of the doSble killing,
as told at the inquest, was not differ
ent in important details from the
story already printed. 1t appears
from the testimony at the inquest
that Grimsley was not drunk. It
was stated by two witnesses that he
had taken drink or so, but no testi-
mony as to his being drunk was es-
tablished.
Frank M. High, Confederate vet
eran, was the principal witness. In
substance he stated that he stepped
into the Bessinger restaurant and was
talking to the man behind the coun-
ter, who was the young man Sandi-
fer, when Grimsley came in and COM
menced firing. This time Sandifer
was shot, and as Mr.. Bessinger step
ped into the room, from the other
room, she, too, was shot by Grims-
ley. 1t was brought out that Grims-
ley had bought cartridges a short
while before the killing.
The only possible motive for the
crime, as brought out, was the ar
gument earlier yesterday over the
bowl of soup. Grimsley wanted to
get two rolls of bread with his bowl
of soup and, upon being refused, he
was angry.
Ernest Grimsley is a young man,
probably about % or % years of age.
He was until very recently employed
as a chaingang guard. Walter San
differ was also young man. Mrs.
Bessinger was the wife of the pro-
prietor of the Acme restaurant,
where the killing occurred. Feeling
against Grimsley is high in all parts
of the city.
A large crowd attended the coro-
ner's inquest, held this afternoon
The verdict of the jury was that Mrs,
Bessinger and Sandifer came to their
death by gun shot wounds at the
hands of Ernest Grimsley. 1t is stat
ed that Grimsley's defence may be
insanity.

INJURED BY TRAIN.
Conductor Nj. A. Strauss Has His
Leg Cut Off.

Conductor NJ. A. Strauss, in charge
of freight train No. 331 bound for
Augusta on the A. G. L. met with an
accident Friday morning in which he
suffered the loss of his left leg and
had the right foot severely mashed.
The accident occurred at Creston just
as the train was pulling into the sta
ton. The injured man was hurried
to this city for medical attention,
and the A. G. L. physicians, Drs.
Lowman and Shecut attended him on
his arrival here. Strauss was con-
scious when he reached the city, but
at that time it could not be stated
as to the extent of the injuries.
A phone message was received
from Mrs. Strauss this morning re-
uuesting that no operation be per-
formed until she could see her hus-
band. She will arrive this after
noon. At that time, the physicians
state they expect to perform an op-
Grafton which will probably result
in a double amputation. Although
the patient is bearing up well under
the shock, the physicians at this time
are unable to say what the outcome
will be.
According to the report concern
ing the accident, Strauss was riding
on the engine and was getting off
the engine at the station. He lost
his footing in some way and fell.
His legs fell across the track and
the wheels completely severed the
left leg just below the knee and Sc
verely mangled the right foot.
Conductor Strauss together with
his family resided in this city for
some years. His home was in Sum-
ter and only week or two ago, he
moved his family to that city.-Or-
angeburg Evening News.

FLETCHER FORD SHOT.
Now Lying at Hospital With Bullet
Through Lung.

Chester, May 6.-Fletcher Ford is
living at the hospital here shot
through his lung and with slim
chances of recovery, and Emmett Rod
man is in Jail charged with the shoot
ing. The affair took place at Rich
burg last night about dark, and the
occurrence is one of the most de-
plorable of any kind which has oc-
Cured in this county in years. The
wounded man is prominent young
farmer of Richburg, while Emmet
Rodman is likewise a well-known
young man of Rodman and the son
of S. A. Rodman, several times a
candidate for the legislature from
this county.
The story of the affray seems to be
that the young men got into a quar-
rel at Richburg last night over some
trivial matter. 1t is alleged that Rod
man, who is cripple, was the ag-
gressor. 1t is said that Rodman
cursed Ford and when the latter re-
monstrated with him he drew a pis-
tol and attempted to hit Ford over
the head. The latter threw up his
arm and warded off the blow. 1t is
alleged that Rodman then fired. The
bullet entered below the left arm
pit, passed through one lung and
lodged in the back. The wounded
man was brought to the hospital
here this morning and the bullet re-
moved. Reports from his bedside
state that chances for his recovery
are extremely doubtful.
Rodman was brought to the city
by a constable and lodged in jail,
pending the result of the fight his al
legged victim is making for life.
Counsel has been retained to defend
him and he is not talking. Fletcher
Ford is a splendid young man, just
coming into manhood. He has been
farming and has made a god record
for himself. People to-day from the
Richburg section spoke highly of him
and expressed the hope that he would
yet recover.

Flames Destroy Negro Hospital.

Yesterday afternoon about 2:30
o'clock, just as dinner was served,
Taylor Lane hospital, the institution
located on the Camden road just out
side of the city, for negroes, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire. The only
thing saved were a few pieces of fur
niture, a little bed clothing and a
piano. The loss is estimated at about
$4,000, with only $1,000 insurance.
1t is supposed to have caught from
a defective f1ue. Last month the roof
caught on fire, but was extinguished
by quick work before any consider
able damage was done.
The flames were discovered after
the sparks had caught under the roof
and there was little chance of saving
the building.

PREFERS DEATH TO SURRENDER
Single-Handed, Bandit Defies Posse
Until Killed.

Jefferson, a., May 7.-Marshal
Busby, of Patton, Iowa, and a bank
robber were killed and highway
man seriously injured in a clash be-
tween sheriff's posse and the ban
dts early this morning, at school
house two miles from Patton.
This morning at o'clock the high
waymen blew a safe in the postofice
at Patton, taking several hundred
dollars in stamps and money. Bus
by, with posse, started in pursuit
of the robbers. The posse came upon
a school house near Patton. The
marshal went to the door, and upon
opening it was shot dead. One of
the robbers dragged the body into
the school house. Then fusillade
of shots was begun between the rob-
bers and the posse.
Shielded by Marshals Body.
The body of Busby was propped
up in the window as a blind, from
behind which the robbers fired on
the posse.
By this time another posse ar
rived. The combined posses then
poured a fusillade into the windows
and doors of the school house. Fin
ally. one of the robbers staggered
through the front doorway badly
wounded, saying: "Boys, I surren-
der, but my pal is going to fight till
you get him.
Shot Through the Heart.
The lone bandit was given a
chance to surrender, but he refused.
The fight was renewed. All the time
the dead marshal's body was hung
up against the window and the rob-
Der was firing from behind it. The
fusillade lasted for 80 minutes. Fin
ally. the posse saw the robber stag
ger and Busby's body fell from the
window. A rush was made for the
door. The robber was found dead,
with a bullet through his heart.
The wounded robber refuses 70
give his name. His leg is shattered
and will have to be amputated.

Patients Removed.

Ten patients were at the hospital
at the time the fire started and one
was in a serious condition, and they
were hastily removed by the nurses,
assisted by r. S. Hipp and w. D.
Grimesly, rural policemen. Those
convalescing were taken to. their
homes; those who were waiting to
be operated or were removed to a
farm owned by DR.. Matilda Evans,
superintendent of the hospital; those
who were in more serious condition
were quartered at 1907 Lady street,
where the hospital was situated some
10 years ago. Ebbie Brooks, who
for some time had been the efficient
matron and housekeeper, was ex-
tremely i'll and it was thought yes
terday by DR.. Evans that the excite
ment of the fire might materially af-
feet her.
Taylor Lane has been under the
direction of DR.. Matilda Evans for
many years. At one time it was only
a few rooms, but 10 years ago was
moved to the old Miller residence, a
two-story, 1S-room dwelling in Wav-
erly:. That was the building burned
yesterday. 1t was owned by Mrs.
Mary A. Chambers and she carried
$1,000 insurance on the main build
ing and $500 on the small house in
the yard, which was used as nurses
home. Her loss is probably covered
by insurance. This was one of Co.
lumbia's old homes, having been
erected in 1889 and later remodeled
in 1S59.-Columbi State, Saturday,
