THE TITANIC s.
TERRIBLE TALE

The ocean was calm as a mill pond
when the Titanic crushed into the
iceberg. Most of the passengers
were in their cabins. Then came
the shock of collision-not SO violent
crash as has been depicted, but
enough to disquiet all who felt It..
Three was a general and orderly
scurrying hither and thither crying
Nothing to be afraid Of, There's
no danger."
Some of the passengers even re-
turned to their rooms and prepared
to retire. But gradually the cessa-
tion of the engines vibration caused
uneasiness, and the groups on the
decks grew greater and greater. Still
the sailors announced that there was
nothing to be feared
Sailors Work
With Discipline.
Then with perceptible suddenness
the ship began to list.
"All passengers on deck with life
BELTS" was shouted. Then for the
first time the gravity of the situation
began to dawn upon the passengers.
The sailors, working silently and
without excitement, yet fast as their
hands could move, began to remove
the tarpaulins from the lifeboats and
-tersely. without excitement, came
the order. repeated upon every side
Women and children in the life

The sailors helped the nearest
women and children into the boats.
And-it was the beginning of ex-
citement-other sailors began to
lower the boats.
Failed to Grasp
Their Danger.
4 Thus far the men, standing idly
by, failing entirely to grasp the sig
nificance of the moment, had helped
the sailors. Many of the passengers
report that the men were laughing.
We'll be safer here on the ship
than in that cockleshell." one man
cried to his wife as she was helped
over the rail.
But the Titanic began to settle in
the ocean and 1t was difficult for the
men to remain on their feet. Then ii
was that the appalling nature of Il
all dawned upon these men. And
then also it was that the officers OF
the ship drew their revoivers.
Stand back" they cried. only
women and children go into the
boats"
Three Revolver
Shots Heard
Some of the men leaned against
the. rail and looked down over the
towering sides of the ship. Others
lslowly paced the deck as if they were
waiting.
The ship sank lower and lower
Three revolver shots were heard
i Three passengers in the steerage had
attempted to force their way past the
sailors and had been shot down.
The ship had now listed to ter.

and were pushed back. And in that
moment the heroism of hundreds as
serted itself 1t was the passengers

and the first blow must have been
dealt from his rear as he was leaning
over the box in the act Of placing the
crackers in the bag.
Mr.. Hutto's body was removed to
Tolly's morgue where Coroner Beasley
began an inqunest this afternoon. The
inquest was adjourned tonight until
Monday when the taking of testimony
will be resumed. The officers expect
to gather something tangible by that
time. At the inquest this afternoon
two negro children testified that they
saw two young white men go up to the
store door about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon and write the sign which
was found tackled on the door today.
It is believed by the officers that the
young men intended this as a. joke,
having no idea that information given
in the notice was correct This clew

are expected to occ:c soa..
Mr.. Hutto is survived by his widow

ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE
MURDER OF WILL RUFF
Anderson Merchant Murdered in Store
Robbery Apparent Cause-Just
=. Outside City Limits.

Anderson, Dec. 29-DaVid Hutto an
old Confederate veteran about so
years of age, who kept small store
on the extension of Greenville street
just beyond the city limits was found
dead in his store room today with the
left side of his face and head smashed
to pulp. The last time he was seen
was On Monday afternoon and judging
from the decomposition Of the body the
murder must have been committed
Monday night.
Mr.. Hutto was eccentric, and the
fact that he failed to show himself
since Monday among his friends and
relatives was no occasion for alarm
so no search had been made by his
family to locate him. A negro woman
who went to the store this morning to
purchase some groceries noticed that
blood had trickled through the floor
of the little building, and sign read
ing "This man dead on inside" was
tackled on the front door. She notified
Sheriff King and he with Deputy Mar
tin forced the door open which had
been locked from the outside, and in
a crouching position partly on the cot
in the rear of the store and partly on
the floor was found Mr.. Hutto's body.
The lick over the mans head was a
terrific one as his brains and blood
were spattered all over the cot, the
floors and the walls nearby. There
were evidences Of other licks, also pos
sibly after Mr.. Hutto had fallen on the
cot. A blunt instrument, possibly an
axe, was used by the murderer, but
no instrument has yet been found by
the officers. Evidently robbery was
the motive for no money was found by
officers in the mans clothing or in the
cigar box in which he was accustomed
always to keep some change. Mr.. Hut
to was probably called from his cot
after he had retired Monday night, for
when found today he was in his bed
clothes.
The man who committed the deed
very probably called for sardines and
crackers for on the counter were found
two boxes Of sardines which had been
opened and in the arms Of Mr.. Hutto
was found aag Of crackers Tue

The season of JOY has been prevalent
in this pastorate.
The cotton mills suspended work
for three days in order that their
operatives might participate IN the
ioys of the season. And we have rea-
son to believe that many enjoyed the
true Christmas JOY.
There were services at each OF the
churches, which set forth the Biblical
story of the birth of Christ and its
present day applications. Santa Claus
and such mythical allusions were set
aside in the recitations.
The exercises at Mayer Memorial
were on Friday night before Christ
mas. On this occasion through the
generosity and considerateness OF the
Newberry cotton mill company, a
bountiful treat Of fruits and candies
was given to the Sunday school.
The Summer Memorial Sunday
school, through it's own efforts and the
assistance Of it's friends, gave its Of
ficers and teachers and pupils a SIM
liar treat at the time of its exercises
on Christmas night. At this place and
time there was also a nicely decorated
Christmas tree, which was we'll filled
with individual gifts-there being only
two gifts with which the Sunday
school, or congregation, had any thing
TO do. One Of these was fine Water
man fountain pen, costing $3.50, and
given by the Sunday school. In ap-
probation of his efficient and self sac
rifcing services as superintendent OF
the Sunday school, it was given to Mr..
John C. Goggans. The other came
through the church council. 1t is a
beautiful watch fob with safety at
tachment and said to cost S14.5O. 1t
was most happily received by Pastor
J. B. Harman.
In the Mayer Memorial Sunday
school many gifts were given by the
teachers to the pupils, and by the pu-
pills to the teachers, but all were given
privately, except one. This was pre-
sented on Sunday morning just after
Sunday school, to Mr.. John O. Kin
ard, the superintendent. 1t was a
pair of cuff buttons given by the class
that he teaches. In the exercises held
the behavior was excellent and the
attention good. Several valuable and
useful gifts were given to the pastors
family by the Mayor Memorial congre-
cation, which are highly appreciated.

In accordance with those instruc-
tons, Mr.. Capers received by regis
tered letter today the Official call from
the secretary Of the national commit
tee in which is contained the follow
ing statement:
Pursuant to instructions contain
ed in the call, I am enclosing you

"Will you be kind enough to advise
me the correct name and postofice

secretary of your State committee for
our records in this Office, and, at the
same time, acknowledging receipt of
the enclosed copies of the CALL"
The "Real Thing"
Mr.. Capers acknowledged receipt of
the call and stated that lIaj. Blalock
was chairman and Dan H. Wallace
was secretary of the "only real" Re-
publican organization in South Caro-
lima.
Just what the Tolbert faction will
do in view of this situation is prob
; lematical. This matter was brought
up after Mr.. Capers had left the
White House yesterday, where he was
in conference more than an hour
with Mr.. Hilles, secretary to the pres
ident.
When seen in his Office here today,
Capt. Capers stated that he thought
it best to have nothing particular to
say about the matter, especially as

Columbia State.

Columbia State.
Washington, Dec. 28.-John G. Ca
pers, the South Carolina member Of
the national Republican committee,
has received the Official call for the
next national convention at Chicago,
June 18. The receipt Of this call by
Mr.. Capers, is interesting in South
Carolina because of the existence
there of two factions of the Republi-
can party each claiming to be the
regular organization. L. W. G. Bla-
lock is chairman of the Capers fac
ton, composed almost entirely of
white men, and Joseph ". Tolbert is
chairman of the other faction, COM
posed, with few exceptions, of ne
groes.
1t has developed that while, the ma
tional Republican committee was in
session here on December -, Tolbert
and a number of negroes came to
Washington, hoping to challenge Mr..
Capers' right to sit on the national
committee. Finding that impossible
of accomplishment, they made every
effort to obtain from the secretary of
the national committee, the official
call for the convention hoping in that
way to get the advantage of that rec
ognition of Regularity" While they
were working to that end, Mr.. Cap
ers, who was one of the five members
of the national committee appointed
to draft the call for the convention,
was busy on that work, and when the
call was drafted and adopted, after
the rejection of the minority report
presented by Senator Borah, it was
found that the last paragraph of the
call contained the following direction
to the secretary Of the national com
n1itTpl.
