NEGRO LOSES BOTH ARMS.
William Maybin Fell Against Saw in
Mill

Newberry, May 1S.-William May
bin, a. negro about 80 years of age,
met with a terrible accident on
Thursday at A. c. Thomasson's saw
mill, on Jas. G. Browns place, five
miles north of Newberry. In remov-
ing lumber from the saw he fell and
trying to catch himself fell again the
saw and was badly cut. Both arms
were so mangled that they had to be
amputated between the wrist and Ell
bow. The left leg had both bones
shattered just above the ankle and
the big bone at the right knee was
cut by the saw. The right knee will
likely be stiff, but that leg will be
saved, and the doctors are trying to
save the left foot also. After all he
has gone through, the negro's pulse
and temperature are reported normal
this afternoon and he is apparently
on the way to recovery.

"Jack the Shooter" EXcites Little
Rock.

Little Rock, Ark, May ia
mysterious prowler, whom the police
call Jack the Shooter entered the
residence of D. P. Coulter, three
blocks from the center of the busl-
ness district, early to-day and at
tempted to assault Mrs. Coulter.
When she made outcry the man fired
twice at her. Her nine-months-old
baby was lying on her breast and
both bullets struck the babe, killing
it instantly. Mrs. Coulter was not
injured by the bullets. The intrud-
er then fled.
The murder follows a long series
of crimes believed, to have all been
committed by one man. He has
wounded two women who made out
cry when he attempted to assault
them, assaulted one woman and made
several other unsuccessful attempts.
Mayor Charles E. Taylor this af-
ternoon issued a proclamation calling
upon the citizens of Little Rock TO
arm themselves and aid the police in
capturing or killing the murderer.
Half an hour after the murder Of
the babe, a prowler, supposed to be
the murderer, entered the home Of
NJ. NJ. Hankins, half block from the
main street of the city. He fired at
Mrs. Hankins and also at two po-
licemen who were attracted by her
cries. The police emptied their re-
volvers at his fleeing form but he
made his escape.

4 DELAYED PAYMENT.
Edgefield Citizen Reimbursed for An
imal Lost 81 Years Ago.

Edgefeld, May 18.-Yesterday AL
bert R. Nicholson, Confederate SOL
dier, received a check from Washing
ton in payment for horse which was
taken from him 81 years ago by the
federal authorities. Two days before
Mr.. Nicholson surrendered at Amelia
Courthouse, Va, his horse was taken
from him by federal soldiers. Soon
after the surrender as he was about
to depart for home, he had the good
fortune to "pick up" a horse that be-
longed to the Union army. The ami
NAL bore the brand ~. S." as all
other federal property. While in the
field plowing, after being at home
about two months, the horse which
Mr.. Nicholson had ridden from Vir-
ginia was seized by soldiers that were
stationed at Edgefeld at the time.
Having been informed that other
Confederate soldiers in this section
had been reimbursed by the national
government for horses that were
seized without authority by federal
soldiers soon after the surrender,
Mr.. Nicholson made out a claim for
the damages which he had thus sus-
tanned and through the assistance of
Congressman James F. Byrnes he
succeeded in having the claim paid.
If other veterans who sustained
similar loss will present their claims
properly attested they will likewise
be reimbursed. The time for filing
such claims will expire on the first OF
June, so no time should be lost.

Silver Half-Dcllar Worth $1,000.

Atlanta, May 20.-City Policeman
G.. Allen Maddox has carried a for
tune in his frayed trousers pocket
for many years without suspecting it.
Mr.. Maddox, who is in modest cir
cumstances, has g. pocket piece,
silver half dollar minted in the year
1853. He supposed it might posi-
bly, be worth a little more than its
face value, because of it's age, but
never took the trouble to inquire.
Yesterday he found out by accident
that there are only two other coins
of that mintage in existence, and that
his is worth at the lowest estimate
s2,5OO.. Mr.. Maddox has refused
that sum and is holding his coin for
a better offer. But he doesn't carry
it around as a luck piece any more.
1t is locked up in safety vault in
stead. 1t is worth more than his
house and lot.

Blease Commission Files Report.

The official report Of the commits
sion appointed by Governor Blease to
wind up the affairs of the late State
dispensary, known familiarly as the
Blease or Stackhouse commission, has
been made to the governor and is
now in the safe in the governors Of
flee.
Governor Blease states that the re-
port of the Blease commission had
been filed in his Office several weeks
ago, but that yet he had not read it.
He said it had not been opened, but
was then in. the safe in his office. He
further said that he did not intend to
open it, but would let it lie in the
safe until the convening of the gen.
eral assembly in 1913, when he
would follow the provisions OF the
act passed this year abolishing the
Blease commission and hand the re-
port to the president of the senate.

Gaffney is taking steps to extend
an invitation to the Confederate vet
erans of the State to hold their an

At the meeting of the State Demo

Columbia last week, John Gary
Evans, of Spartanburg, was elected
chairman, succeeding Col. Willie
Jones. Col. Jones was presented with
a handsome silver pitcher by the
members of the committee, and he
was elected as treasurer.
The Grace faction in Charleston
seems to be in bad way politically
Not only did they lose out in the
State convention, but now their can
didate for sheriff, W. F. Carr, OF
Meggetts, has announced that he will
rot run, as he approves the action OF
the committee on credentials in seat
ing the Barnwell delegates and he fs
opposed to the tactics of the Grace
faction and will not accept their sup
port. This makes the fourth man
who has announced for sheriff against
Capt. Martin, all of whom have with
drawn from the race: 1t looks now
like the genial sheriff will have nc
opposition for reelection.

Tries to End His Life.

Union, S. c., May 20.-Because of
despondency, W. G. Tippett, who re-
Gently took position with Progress
as linotype operator, late Saturday
night attempted suicide by taking a
big dose of laudanum, which he pour
ed in a glass of coca-cola, and it was
only after physicians had worked for
hours that he was pronounced out
of danger.
It was only about a month ago that
Tippett came here from Latta, S. c.,
to take his present position. For two
years he was employed by the State
printers of Montgomery, Ala, but his
wife having been shot and killed IN
a boarding house there by a drunken
boarder then, Tippett came to this
State to bring his infant daughter to
be with his sister, though his home
was in Georgia.
For the murder of Mrs. Tippett the
man was sentenced to death this
month, but an appeal was taken to
the supreme court and is still be-
fore that body. For some time lip
pett's troubles have been bearing on
his mind and on Saturday night he
went to a drug store and bought a
two-ounce bottle of laudanum, and
going to another, poured it into a
glass of coca-cola that he ordered
and Immediately drank the entire
mixture. AS soon as he had done
so, he asked for a piece of paper on
which to write the address of his Sis
ter.
A clerk, realizing the mans terri
BILE danger, summoned help and Tip
petit, who had hurriedly left the
store, was overtaken and doctors at
once began to work on him, but II
was not until after hours had elapsed
that he was revived. He is now able
to be at work again and is grateful
that he escaped death.

Levee to Protect Augusta.

Augusta, May 18.-Augusta will
decide on June "a whether or not she
wishes to have levee to protect her
against food water. A proposed bond
issue of s1,O00,000 is to be voted on
at that time. The levee is expected
to extend for IL miles along the river
bank. Along the river front direct
ly at Augusta the levee will be of con-
crete and it is expected to protect the
city against 42-foot river. The rec
ord flood stage here is 80 feet.
Two expert levee engineers, one
from Mississippi and the other from
the Colorado river, were brought
here to prepare estimates on the best
plan to protect the city against
floods, which are frequently recur-
ring, and both agreed that g. levee
was the only practical plan Of pro-
lection. The levee itself will cost
S1,OOO,OOO, while the property that
will have to be purchased for a right
of way will cost in the neighborhooc
of s25O,000.
In addition to protecting the city
the levee will be an incalculable boon
to the farmers of the Savannah val
ley as thousands of acres of fertile
soil will be protected from overfows
and crops made certain each year,
whereas now they are uncertain.

KILLED BY LIVE WIRE.
Chester Foster, Young Man 1s Years
of Age, Lost His Life Yesterday.

Newberry, May 17.-Chester Fos-
ter, young man Of 18 years, was
killed on Main street near the centre
Of the town this afternoon at $50
o'clock by live wire while he was
assisting in swinging cable Of the
Southern Bell Telephone company for
which he was working.
The electric light wires and the
telephone cables run on the same
pole. The young man was up on
the cable about midway between two
posts and 80 feet from the ground
when reaching round to get some in
strument out of his belt he touched
a live wire. The shock threw his
body across another live wire where
it hung suspended. Persons near
cut the wire as soon as possible and
then one of his fellow Workmen
climbed out on the wire and tying a
rope round his body let him down to
the ground where physicians went to
work Immediately to attempt to re-
store life trying for nearly 80 min
utes by vigorous rubbing and artif-
cial respiration to bring back the vi
tai spark, but in vain.
It is said that $500 volts passed
through his body.
The young man was the only son
of his mother and she widow, Mrs.
Della Foster, who lives with her only
other child, a daughter, younger than
Chester, in that portion of the city
known as High Point. Chester Foster
was a grandson of J. A. Foster at
KiIard's, who was for many years
engineer at the Newberry cotton
mills, and the son of William Foster,
who was killed four years ago by
the explosion of locomotive that he
was running in Mexico.
Great sympathy is felt for the
mother, who has lost husband and
son by violent deaths.
The son was an industrious young
man and the chief support of his
mother.

Denmark Doings.

Denmark, May 21.-The most
unique affair of the season was the
Mother Goose Party given by Mrs.
G.. A. Calhoun in honor of her guest,
Miss Sara Haskell, of Abbeville.
Upon arriving the guests were re-
ceived by Mrs A. l.. Blount and pre-
sented to the lady of honor, and i'm
mediately afterwards they were serv-
ed to delicious fruit punch by Misses
Edna Steadman and Ina Calif.
The parlor and reception hall was
decorated very tastily in asparagus
fern, yellow daisies and ivy. Small
tables had been placed around the
room, and two couples being seated
at each one, a lively contest was be-
gun. Every one was given card
decorated with geese, upon which
was written an appropriate rhyme
selected from a Mother Goose book.
Each one was required to draw the
picture which the verse brought to
mind. Mr.. Tindall Califf reproduced
the best picture among the young
men and was presented with lovely
tie. Miss Virginia Faust's was the
best among the girls, and she was
presented with box of Nunally's.
One of the most amusing features
of the evening was the rhymes which
the boys were required to make up,
about the young lady they accom-
panied. The most of them were very
original and afforded great deal OF
pleasure to the listeners.
The guests were next given cards
on which were written the first three
words of 'old SAYINGS and were
asked to fill out the rest of each one.
Miss Louise Zeigler succeeded in
getting the greater number correct
among the girls, and was presented
with a beautiful silk fan. Mr.. Ira Gar
ris secured the greater number
among the boys and was presented
with q tie.
After the awarding of the prizes a
course of delicious cream and cake
was served by Misses Califf and

Cousin Killed Another.

Waycross, Ca, May 1S.-Clifford
Bennett, Baptist preacher, was kill
ed and Carey Bennett, a cousin, was
injured in a pistol duel here to-day.
Two bystanders also were slightly
hurt by stray bullets. Clifford Ben
nett, who was wealthy, had been
separated from his wife for some
time and the wife filed suit for di-
vorce yesterday. The shooting is
said by friends of the two men to
have been due to young Carey's at
tentions to his cousins wife.
The cousin had been notified to
keep away from Milwood, the village
where Clifford lived, but to-day got
off the train there in company with
two young women, for the first time
in several months. Clifford was at
the station, and it is said that the
shooting began Immediately. A
brother of Carey ran between the two
men, but Clifford fired over his shoul-
6ers, striking Carey in the head
The latter than returned the fire,
shooting Clifford three times.
Carey was arrested when he went
to a doctors, four miles from the
scene. Further trouble was expected
because of the prominence of the
participants, but everything was quiet
tonight
