About 5000 Worth in the Woods
Near Savannah.

Savannah, May "A colored man
named Hamden has created sensa-
ton in Savannah by bringing into
the city several ancient Spanish coins
of gold and offering to sell them. He
sold one to the Spanish consul to-
day for SIG and sold one yesterday
to a gentleman for $40, to be used
as watch charm. The coins are
known as Spanish "onzas" because
they weigh nearly an ounce each.
The negro says while walking
through the woods east of Savannah
he found one of the coins, and dig
ging into the earth brought 400 OF
them to light. The find is worth
easily $4,000. Hamden is very Sc

the coins from him. Those he sold
were dated 1885 and 1882, respect
lively. He says he found them near
an old battle field west of the city.

his wedding to Miss Mary E. Wine
berg at Haverford yesterday, arrived

made a dash for the home of his

Fire at Allendale.

Allendale, May AT o'clock
this morning fire consumed the four
wood stores owned by B. R. Myrick,
situated between H. Wolff &. Co. S
new brick structure and the Southern
Railroad, in the centre of the busl-
ness section. The cause of the fire
is not known, but began in the build
ing occupied by Louis Hepner, from
which it spread in both directions.
But for the favorable condition of the
air currents and the fire wall of H.
Wolff & CO. the fire would have prob
ably wiped out the greater part OF
the business section. One of the
buildings was used as the grocery
department of H. Wolff & Co., who
succeeded in removing the greater
portion of their goods, sustaining a
loss of about s4OO, with no insur-
ance.
B. R. Myrick occupied one with
his butcher shop, the contents and
fixtures of which was total loss of
about S400.
Louis Hepner, whose stock of dry
goods is estimated at about $4,000,
had $1,000 insurance.
julius Claus's stock of toys and
confectionery, estimated at $1,000,
had $500 insurance.
The barber shop fixtures of Angus
Williams was saved, and so was the
pool table and furniture of the pool
room.
B. R. Myrick carried no insurance
on the buildings, which loss amounts
to about $4,000.

Woman Accused of killing Baby.

Protesting her innocence and VOW
ing that if she should give birth to
baby under conditions which made it
the foulest disgrace possible for
white woman, she would still love
and cherish the child Mrs. Julia
Taylor, 25 years old, of Drayton
mills, was arrested yesterday charg-
ed with infanticide. Her aged
mother, Mrs. Adeline Tissner, was
arrested as an accessory before the
fact. Their arrest followed the find
ing in an old we'll of week-old baby
boy, of whom Mrs. Taylor was declar-
ed by the coroner's jury to be the
mother.
Circumstantial evidence adduced
at the inquest seemd to indicate that
Mrs. Taylor, after working in the
mill up to and including Friday,
April 10, gave birth to the baby that
night without the attendance of a
physician or anybody but her moth
er, and returned to work in the mill
the following Wednesday. The tes-
timony touched on her appearance
before and after that Friday night
and also related to certain noises
heard in her house that night. Wo-
men who worked with Mrs. Taylor
in the mill told of symptoms of ILL
ness of which she complained.
Mrs. Taylor has three children.
She is separated from her husband.
Boys hunting frogs found the
baby, which was floating on the sur
face of about three feet of water in
an abandoned we'll. Drs. James H.
Hunter and G. H. Bunch testified that
the baby was seemingly not more
than one week old and had appar-
emily been born alive.
After the inquest of Coroner John
S. Turner the jury found that 1.-The
infant child came to it's death by
drowning in we'll at the hands of
it's mother, Julia Taylor, and that
Adeline Tissner is an accessory be-
fore the fact "-Spartanburg Herald.

LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING

is the way Miss Alta Abel Of West
Baden, Ind, summed up her existence
after having sought in vain for health.
She writes: 'T was a complete wreck
always tired, worn out and nervous.
I had to spend about one-third OF my
time in bed.
''Vinol, your delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, was recommended, and l
can truly say it has done me more
good than all the medicine I ever took
in my life. That nervous and tired
feeling is all gone have gained in
health, flesh and strength, until feel
like another person" 1--WE guarantee
this testimonial to be genuine.)
What Vinol did for Miss Abel, we
know it will do for every nervous,
rundown, overworked, tired, thin and
discouraged woman in this vicinity.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned If It does not help you.

Seek Dispensary Election.

Chester, May 2.-Nine hundred
and thirty-one signatures were turn
ed in Tuesday, April 80, which was
the final day according to the laws of
the State, to Supervisor T. w. Shan
non requesting that an election be
called on the dispensary question at
the general election day in Novem-
ber.
Before an election can be called by
the supervisor 25 per cent. of the
qualified voters must attach their sig
natures to petitions and those petit
tions must be in the hands of the su-
pervisor on the aforesaid date. AS
Chester has about 1000 registered
voters, it appears that the petitioners
have won, unless a large number of
the names are scratched when they
come under the scrutiny of the coun-
ty board of examiners.

Three Young Men Held.

Spartanburg, May Little cred
ence was placed by Magistrate j. NJ.
Dean in the story of young woman
that Claude Wright, Ben Littlefeld,
Boyce Littlefeld and Robert McCar-
ter criminally assaulted her near
Greer Saturday night, April 20, and
he dismissed this charge after a
preliminary hearing in the court
house yesterday.
An older woman in whose house
the crime was alleged to have been
committed and who fed prior to the
time when the young woman was
supposed to have been attacked, tes-
tilted, however, that the four young
men tore her waist and made vile
remarks as to their intentions con-
cerning her. On her testimony, ac-
cordingly, Magistrate Dean commit
ted the four to jail to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury on charge OF
assault and battery with intent to
commit a felony.
The first young woman whose
original story was that after the old
er woman had escaped three OF the
young men attacked her in the house
and the fourth compelling her to ac-
company him to the woods and de-
tanned her there the rest of the night,
was reluctant to testify at the hear
ing yesterday. 1t was feared that
she intended to flee to escape being a
witness-in fact, it was feared that
she would be bribed to keep silent
and she was accordingly locked up in
Jail until she furnished bond.
The warrants against the four de-
PENDANTS were sworn out before
Magistrate Henderson, of Appa-
lachee, but it was deemed expedient
to transfer the case to Magistrate
Dean, who is one of the oldest in
length of service in the State, having
ben a magistrate for more than 20
years.
The hearing was held in Spartan
h"rg for the sake of convenience.
-olicitor Otis represented the
State at the hearing while c.. P.
Simms was attorney for the defend
ants.
Ernest Rollins testified how, after
he had gone to the women's rescue
with a shotgun, the four youths
wrested the gun from him and broke
up the furniture in the house.

PUTS ON PAD FOR LICKING.
Boy, Prepared for Punishment,
Taunted Teachers.

Because he came to school pre-
pared to take a whipping says a
Springfield, Mo-, dispatch, Carl Glib
son, a 12-year-old student in the
Mentor district, about 10 miles from
here, could not persuade jury in
the criminal court that he had been
assaulted by little Miss Lydia Thorn
hill, instructor, and a jury, after de-
liberating 10 minutes, discharged
the defendant.
The Gibson boy, it was alleged,
padded the seats of two pairs Of
trousers which he wore to school and
became unruly, whereupon the
teacher, who had heard his boast
that if whipped he would have her
arrested, promptly applied the
"birch."

Acquitted for Lynching Negro.

West Chester, Pa, May 3.-Lewis
Dentithorne, on trial for second de-
gree murder in connection with the
lynching of Zach Walker, negro,
last August, was acquitted this
morning by jury.
After the jury had brought in the
verdict of not guilty in the Denti-
thorne case the commonwealth ask
ed for the acquittal of the other five
defendants.
The acquitted men were discharg-
ed, among them being Chief of Po-
lice listed.
The commemorative reason for
asking acquittals was the inability to
obtain convictions because of the
state of mind of the people of the
county. Zach Walker, on the night
of August 13, 1911, was burned by
a mob after being arrested for kill
ing a special policeman.

Why He Left the Church.

A lonely bachelor, at the age OF
70, married young wife. A Sun
day or two after the wedding wild
over asked the minister who had Of
fciated at the marriage of the bach

just died. The minister, in his pray

Der "our aged and grieving brother
upon whom the heavy hand of sore
affection has so lately fallen"
At these words the old bridegroom,
red and snorting with rage, rose
from beside his girl wife.
1T may be a sore afiiction,' he
growled audibly, as he left the
church, "but I'll be hanged if any
man is going to pray in public for

Branchville Man Shot by Negro.

Branchville, May 4.-W. W. All, a
well-known young merchant OF
Branchville, was shot and perhaps
fatally wounded by Noon Evans, a
negro, tonight at 8 o'clock. The
shooting occurred almost directly in
front of Mr.. All's store. The ne
gro is said to have fired four shots,
the last taking effect. The bullet
entered the left breast just below
the heart, lodging under the flesh of
the back.
Evans made his escape, disappear
ing in the darkness in the direction
of the negro settlement in the eastern
part of the town. Searching parties
were formed at once and the country
is being diligently covered in the
hunt for the negro. The searchers
are aroused and if Evans is found
tonight he may be severely dealt
with.
1t is said that Noon Evans came to
the door of Mr.. All's store tonight
when Mrs. All asked him about an
account he owed Mr.. All. His reply
to the question is said to have been
impertinent, whereupon Mrs. All
walked to the rear of the store and
told her husband what the negro had
said to her.
Mr.. All secured an axe handle and
walked out into the street. AS he ap-
preached Evans, who was sitting with
other negroes, the negro fired four
shots from a revolver that he had
drawn.
Mr.. All is about 80 years of age
and has wife and one daughter. He
was originally from Kline and was
formerly a train dispatcher.
The possibility of the wound prov
ing fatal can not be estimated at this
time, although it is feared Mr.. All
may not recover.

Whisky Output Curtailed.

A curtailment in Eheir output has
been agreed upon by local distillers
who fear an overprcduction of Ken
lucky whisky similar to that from
1890 to 1898, inclusive, says a Louis
vile dispatch. The 9O,OO0,000 gal
Ions produced in the last two years
is more than 2O,OOO,OOO in excess of
the demand.
The distillers say that jobbers
have practically ceased to buy whls-
ky younger than 1910, due to the
overthrowing of DR.. Wiley's ruling
as to what constituted pure whisky.
