tempt of the State court of appeals.
He was sentenced to pay $4,000, and
given ten days in which to pay 1t.
In the event of his failure to do so'

cism of the court of appeals for twice

KILLS HUSBAND AND SELF.
six-Year-old Son Finds Dead Bodies
of His Father and Mother.

Adele, Ca, Oct. 13.-The dead
bodies of M. A. Crosby, cashier OF
the Bank of Adele, and his wife were
found in their bedroom this morn
ing by their 6-year-old son.
The woman was lying on the floor
with a 3S calibre Tevolver tightly
clasped in her cold fingers and bull
let through her brain. Crosby was In
the bed with the covers still drawn
over him and had met his death by
a shot in the right eye.
The little lad fearful, ran to neigh
bors, and upon discovering the trag-
edy, a coroner's inquest was held.
The verdict held that both had come
to their death at the hands of Mrs.
Crosby. That sudden insanity on the
part of the woman caused the trag-
edy is the only solution that intimate
friends can offer.
She had been somewhat despond-
ent for some time because of slight
ly failing health.
The couple lived happily as TAR as
is known. The will of the dead man
was found in a bureau drawer. 1t left
everything to his wife and children

TAKE TWO MORE PRISONERS.
Only One Escaped Spartanburg Des'
perado is Now at Large.

Gaffney, Oct. ia third member
of the party of four convicts that
waged a battle with officers and citi-
zens on the edge of Gaffney last night
was captured this morning. Ellis
Sampson, the leader of the convict
band at large all day supposedly in
the vicinity of Blacksburg, was cap
tured tonight. George Fleming, the
convict who shot Arthur Hooper, Il
member of the posse, was captured in
the Austell woods about 10 O'Clock
this morning. B. B. Byars, rural
policeman, Lloyd Austell, special Of
ficer, were searching the forest for
the fugitive, when Mr.. Austell sud-
denly stumbled upon him. Fleming
was found to be shot in the leg and
unable to get away. On his person
was the pistol used in shooting Hoop
er and Fleming acknowledges that
he was the one that did the shooting.
He was taken into custody and
brought to the county jail. This
makes three of the party now in JAN
with only one missing.
Earle Coleman, who was shot last
night in the course of battle by Chief
Lockhart, died in the county jail at
6 o. m. At first it was thought that
the negro was only suffering from a
flesh wound, but the bullet seems to
have passed entirely through the
body.
The attending physician states that
Mr.. Hooper's condition is now most
satisfactory and that he will prob
ably recover from his wounds if no
complications set in.
Sampson was captured by a posse
at Cherokee Falls at 6 o'clock and
is now in Jail. Sheriff White is en-
route from Spartanburg to take
charge of the prisoners.

TWENTY CONVICTS ESCAPE.
Reign of Terror in Wyoming Town.
Nine Recaptured.

Rawlings, Wyo., Oct. 12.-Twenty
convicts, led by Jim Dalton, member
of the Whitney gang Of bank robbers,
escaped through a broken fence IN
the penitentiary yard this afternoon.
Eleven still were at large tonight
and the possibility of their recapture
is remote. 1t is believed they gained
the hills north of the town before
nightfall.
The reign of terror which holds the
town tonight began at o'clock this
afternoon, when from the peniten-
tiary burst bedlam of shouts of con-
victs and through the streets nine
teen men in prison uniform ran in a
body. Horses hitched in front Of
stores were seized by the leaders and
bore them away to the hills, outdis-
tancing the guards that closed in on
the rear of the fug gitives after losing
some time investigating the cause Of
the uproar in the cells.
Meanwhile four of the convicts
seized a grocery wagon and compell~
ed the boy driving it to race for the
hills. When the horse gave out they
loaded themselves with provisions
and ran.
Four of the fugitives hiding in a
canyon north of Rawlings were
caught half. an hour after the out
break and a fifth was captured while
making for the railroad tracks. Three
were cornered in another canyon 2
mile west of the town by mounted
pursuers, but have not been taken.
The guards returning with the five
prisoners were greeted by the con-
victs with groans and it was then
discovered in the excitement of pur-
suit that another prisoner had escap-
ed, making twenty in all.
Shortly before 7 o'clock tonight
four fugitives were discovered in
barn within a block of the prison.
Two were caught by guards, but two
got away from the officers, who fear
ed to fire because of crowd in the
vicinity. A little later Warden Ais
ton arrived at the penitentiary with
two men he had taken single-handed.
A searching party of citizens is
securing the vicinity and armed men
patrol the streets to prevent pos
sible night descent of the convicts in
search of clothing and arms.

Fairfax FanCieS.

Fairfax, Oct. 14.-On Friday even
ing all of our townsfolks, visitors
from surrounding country and other
towns turned out to hear the Fairfax
Minstrels. Realizing that in union
there is strength, our town ladies
and the teachers worked together to
produce as amusing play as has
ever been acted here. 'The Bells of
Blackville" twas called. The dra-
mats personne were: Misses Crump-
Ter, Joella Padgett, Ruth Wilson,
Sadie Harter, Mary. Harrison, Mar
garet Youmans, Albergotti, Kenney,
Lightsey, Porter, Best; Mesdames
Harter, Talley, Youmans, Myrick, and
Lightsey.
'Twould not be fair to discriminate
when all did so well. The costumes
were amusing and were those of the
ambitious, initiative darkey. Some
of the songs were weird and scary,
others rollicking, and all of them
full of tune, impelling them to dance
as we'll as sing. Many instruments
of the bones and tambo order were
used, but the piano was the chief
accompaniment. The program was
beautifully carried out, and Allen
dale and Brunson must go out and
see and hear for themselves when
our artists visit their towns. Miss
Harrison very obligingly played while
the crowd was waiting and conduct
ed most of the music during the
play. We were proud of our Fairfax
amateurs and they showed what Wo-
men folks can do, for there was not
man in the play.

visiting Mrs. Lilly Myrick.

St. Johns, October IA, 1912.
Editor The Bamberg Herald
Please give me space in your valu-
able paper to make a few remarks
in connection with the praises from
old St. Johns, that was published in
the Ehrhardt news of October lotn.
St. Johns is one among the best
communities of Bamberg county. She
has furnished some as good business
men as can be found. For instance,
she has furnished one boy to Stokes's S
Business college who won the medal
among ten thousand other contest
ants. She has furnished Charleston
with three book-keepers, Savannah
Ga., with several, and other large
cities, and still preparing more busl-
ness men; has some ct Furman Unl-
yersity and at Newberry college.
AS the writer spoke of the phone
line which is now in operation in our
community, it was gotten up by one
of our young farmers who is under
the age of twenty-one. This same
voung farmer raised thirty bushels
of corn per acre on a patch Of four
acres this year, last year raising 4SA
bushels per acre on patch of three
acres. (How is this, Mr.. Editor, for

TORRENs LAND SYSTEM
Matter Will Probably Come up in the
General Assembly This Year.

The Torrens land system will prob,
ably come up for consideration at the
approaching session of the general
assembly.
The following from the Charlotte
Observer, will therefore be of inter-
est:
s'The Observer does not intend to
hold up in it's fight for an improve
ed North Carolina system OF regis
tering land titles as long as there is
hope of persuading the legislature to
give the State a good thing. 1t is
admitted on all sides that an improv-
ed law is needed. Under the present
system, in order to sell or mortgage
a piece of land, of say 100 acres, the
following things are necessary
CD A lawyer must examine the IT,
ties, at charge of say-.-----S25.O0
Every new transfer or mortgage
means the same.
(2) A lawyer must draw new deed,
at an expense of say -.-.------..S 5.Oo
(3) Recording deed --..-.----S LOU
A. total of ......--.-.---.--.-S3l.5o
Every time the land is sold or
transferred this expense is charged
and nothing is guaranteed. Accord
ing to the proposed new way to trans
fer or use 100 acres of land on mort
gage to borrow money: The State
would have it surveyed, and If neces-
sary, put it through the courts ana
give a title guaranteed by the State.
Then in case of sale, deliver the new
paper for keeps by signing it. over.
In case of use for mortgage, sign IL
and hand it over to the man or banl--
er loaning the money. 1t is private
transaction and no publicity or ex-
pense is incurred unless this debt IS
defaulted. This is in effect the same
as is sometimes called the Australian
or Torrens system"
