OUTLAWS BEGGED FOR FOOD.
Mountaineer's Story Spurs Posses to
Renewed Efforts.

Hillsville, Va, April 5.-According
to "Sug" Smith, who lives over
Mount Airy way toward the Carolina
line, Sidna Allen and Wesley Ed
wards, the two court house assassins,
came to his cabin last night and beg
ged for food. Allen came to his
door, he said, and Edwards stood
guard. Allen declared neither had
taken food that day. They got none
from Smith and took to the noun
tains. The mountaineer feared to
tell the detectives until midnight, and
it was morning when posse took up
the trail. Sheriff Haynes, of Mount
Airy, took the blood hounds, but
they refused to scent the trail, and
the posse went off on Smiths direc-
tions.
The posses are posting copies of
Gov. Mann's proclamation calling
upon all citizens to withhold aid
from the fugitive outlaws. Allen
and Edwards are the only free men
of the gang of eight, which on
March IA raided Carroll county
court house and murdered five per-
sons, three of them officers of the
court.

FOUND DEAD AT ROADSIDE.
Orangeburg Farmer Accidental,
Kills Himself.

Orangeburg, April 4.-The dead
body of Mr.. G. Walter Zeigler, a resi-
dent of the Fork, a few miles from
this city, was found some time early
this morning in the public road near
Cordova. The deceased had been
shot in the body with a load of shot
from gun, presumably his own,
which he carried, and which was
found near the body in the road, with
the stock broken and one barrel dis
charged.
The coroner has made an investi-
cation with a jury, and verdict
of accident has been rendered. There
seems to be no grounds for any other
conclusion, and the verdict will prob
ably be accepted.
Mr.. Zeigler was a widower and
leaves two children and one brother
and several sisters. He was a promi-
nent farmer of his section.

FINE OF $4,000 SUSTAINED.
Ignorance no Excuse, Rules Court in
Savannah Rebate Case.

savannah floDaCc OdSC.
New Orleans, La, April A
penalty of $4,000 fine, imposed by
Judge Emory Speer, upon the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Company in the United States Dis
trict Court, was affirmed here to-day
by the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals.
The case practically involved the
giving of rebates to shippers through
the application of freight rates lower
than those filed with the Interstate
commerce commission. The Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Company offered testimony intended
to show that it was honestly mistaken
as to the precise rates legally appli-
cable to the shipments described in
the Indictment. The rates were filed
with the Interstate commerce COM
mission by the Atlantic Coast Line
duu SGdUOdIu ALI hluS 1ScllNo oyS c@lAo
were applicable to shipments moving
from Philadelphia by way of Savan-
nah to Jacksonville, Fla, the trans
portation by water from Philadel-
phia to Savannah being furnished by
the Merchants and Miners Company.
The steamship company filed with
the commission concurrence in the
tariff. Judge Speer ruled that rail-
ways and steamship companies were
bound legally to know all rates estab-
lished by them and that any testi-
mony tending to prove that the in
correct rate has been exacted by
inadvertence was not admissible.
This ruling was sustained by the
circuit court and the fine was imposed
in accordance with Judge Speer's de-
cision. In this case the rebates were
given to Miller & Sons, grain dealers
of Philadelphia, Pa.

KILLS FRIEND AT FIRESIDE.
Slayer's Mother Tells of Greenyille
County Tragedy.

Greenville, April 7.-As an aged
mother, her son and his friend were
seated about the fireside of the home
near Travellers Rest, about 1 o'clock
Saturday night, the son, who is said
to have been drinking heavily, sud-
denly drew a revolver from his pock-
ct and fired a bullet through the
brain of his companion, killing him
instantly. At the coroner's inquest
held this afternoon, the mother, Mrs.
Anna Nichols, who was the only wit
ness to the tragedy, testl1ed against
her son, D. Harris Nichols, man 80
years of age.
She stated that her son and his
friend, Newton Hit, an 1S-year-old
boy, came home at II o'clock Satur-
day night. Her son, she stated, was
drunk, but so far as she could tell
young Hit was not drinking. The two
came into the house and Harris Mich
els prepared two eggnogs, one of
which he took himself. The other he
offered to his companion, but the
young fellow is said to have declined
it. Mother, son and guest were seated
about the fire two hours later, when
Harris Nichols, without warning,
drew his pistol and shot his COM
panion dead on the floor.
Nichols has been placed in the
county Jail and a warrant charging
him with murder is to be issued Mon
day by the coroner. The parties
are rather prominent in that section,
Mrs. Nichols owning considerable
property.

Texan Offends House Members.

Washington, April 4.-Represent
ative Randell, of Texas, Democrat
aroused indignation among member:
of the house to-day when he charged
that many congressman were "unap'
proachable" while engaged in legis'
lative work.
II make the assertion" he declar'
ed, that nearly every member o1
this house is in the employ of some
interest or is subject to some inf1u'
ence, and what holds true of the
house is equally true of the Senate
I say this with the hope that 1 may
hurt no ones feelings"
The Texas member was discussing
his bill before the judiciary commit
tee to prohibit any federal employee
whomsoever from receiving any re-
tainer from any corporation engaged
in Interstate commerce.
Few men are guilty Of being cor
ruptly Influenced, but the fact re-
mains that they are subject to in
fuences which this bill, if enacted
into law, would remove" he declar-
ed.
Representative Nye, of Minnesota,
a Republican, took exception to Mr..
Randell's allegations. Mr.. Nye said
it would be better for the author of
the bill, the house and the country,
if Mr.. Randell would appeal from the
committee to the house, "instead of
rejecting Indirectly on the member
ship of the house,
Mr.. Randell protested he meant
no reflection on any one and said
that nothing he had said could be
so construed. The incident was
dropped.

DEBTS

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers had
dark, glossy hair at seventy-five,
while our mothers are gray before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers
kept their hair soft and glossy with
I Sage Tea" which also restored
he natural color.
One objection to using such a prep
lration was the trouble of making it..
This objection has been overcome b.
the Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York, who has placed on the
market superior preparation of
Sage, combined with Sulphur and
1ther valuable remedies for dandruff
itching scalp, and thin, weak, falling
hair. The beauty Of the hair de-
bends more on its rich, even shading
than anything else. Don't have dry,
harsh faded hair, when a simple
harmless remedy will bring back the
color In few days; and don't be tor
mented with dandruff, itching scalp
and loose, falling hairs. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy will
quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to
your hair.

Two Sessions Of Congress.

The decision OF President-elect
Wilson to call congress in extraordi-
nary session assures us OF two SEES
sions in the near future, the short
one OF the Sixty-second congress,
meeting the first Monday in Deem
Der and ending ON March 3. and the
special session OF the Sixty-third con-
gress, beginning not later than
April Is and ending the Lord knows
when. This will make three con-
gresses that have been assembled la
extra session at the very beginning
of their official life and all on ac-
count of the tariff. President Taft
called the Sixty-flrst congress 70
meet almost Immediately after he en-
tered office In March, 1909, the re-
suit Of which was the Payne-Aldrlcb
bill. Again he convened the Sixty
second congress in March, 1911, to
deal With Canadian reeinrocity Now
his successor has Indicated that he

It is not probable that the shof
session will do much more than pass
the usual appropriation bills. Il
takes three months to prepare for til Z
spending Of s1,0oo,Ooo, 900, and even
then there must be considerable Of d
hurry and scramble in the last days
In this connection 1t Is safe TO say
that congress will never Join tht
new order of the Spugs, or Socler!
For the Prevention of Useless Giving
Congress has followed the othe
course so long that it has become {
habit. Giving is the average mem
bers middle name. If the Lord 10y

course the newly elected congress
may change all this. The first tern
members usually promise to do &
before they get on the job. After

members outvoted them. You know
how it H.
AS TO the special session, it will, o
course, revise the tariff, but to wha
extent or In what manner Is yet opeI

that the chedule-at-a-time meth
cd will be followed, probably begin
ming with the much discussed SEIZED

Another question that will demand
settlement Of the new congress Il
that OF banking and currency reform
II is even possible that an atteinp
will be made to take this up at thu
short session, but 1t is practically
certain that no definite action will b.
taken before the meeting Of the new
congress.
