ANNOUNCE CABINET MARCH 4.
Wilson Makes Statement That. He
Will Give Out no Names until lie
Sends Nominations to the Senate.

Princeton, y. j., Feb. 12.-Prest-
dent-elect Wilson announced definite
ly tonight that he would not make
public the names of his cabinet until
he sent them to the senate for con-
firmation March 4.
1T will be the good old fashioned
method" he said, "and l shall not
make any announcements until the
names Of the cabinet members are
sent to the senate"
Gov. Wilson's remarks were occa-
stoned by the publication of reports
from Washington that he would an
nounce his cabinet tomorrow. He said
there was absolutely no truth or
authority for the reports.
Gov. Wilson, it is indicated will ask
the men to whom portfolios are Of
fered to regard the proffer as conf
Dental. He believes also 1T is said,
that he ought not to make any i'm
portant announcement until he is ac-
tually president.
The premature announcement from
outside sources, however it was adj
mited, may upset the governor $
plans.
The president-elect was asked if his
policy Of reserving announcement
meant he still was undecided as 10
the personnel Of the cabinet and eX-
pected further suggestions.
Il certainly do intend to keep my
mind open," he said, It'll the last
moment in number of cases. I think
the field Of possible choices is as full
as it can possibly be, but aust say
that the number of men who have
entered themselves has not been
large"
The governor received in silence the
information that he had been officially
elected president of the United States
through the balloting in the house to-
day. He said he had been working
hard in his study all day examining
papers and documents which had been
accumulating ever since his nomi-
nation. He got press reports of the
Mexican situation, but offered no COM
ment.

blood shot down and killed Police
man c. 1. Barwick at Pinewood Mon
day evening. is now in the Roper Hos
pital In Charleston with bullet
wound I'm his back and not expected
to live, according to reports which
reached here Wednesday night and
Thursday morning.
According to a staement made by
one OF the members of the train crew
OF Atlantic Coast Line train No. So,
Dukes was picked up by the train
wednesday night at Ashley Junction
where he had been shot and probably
fatally wounded by another negro and
taken on to Charleston where he was
placed in the Roper Hospital. Dukes
wound was In the back and II was
thought that IL was mortal.
IL seems from this account that Sam
Dukes got Off Southern train No. IA
at Ashley Junction shortly before 10
o'clock Wednesday night. While in
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad yard
he was held up and robbed by an
other negro. who took a watch, a
3s-calibre pistol and some money
on Dukes person. Dukes then at
tempted to get away and was shot In
the back as he ran off, Dukes slay-
er then made his escape. The wound
ed man was placed ir the baggage car
OF Atlantic Coast Line train No. SO,
which rolled up to Ashley Junction a
few minutes later. and taken on to
Charleston, where he was placed in
the Roper Hospital for treatment.
The news of the shooting of Sam
Dukes at Ashley Junction reached
here through long distance message
from Charleston to Pinewood and
much speculation was caused as to
whether or not the negro was actual
ly Same Dukes. II Is stated that
Dukes confessed while on the train
going from Ashley Junction to Char
lesion that he was Sam Dukes and
told OF the killing at Pinewood. At
this time, II In understood. the negro
had been told that he was mortally
wounded and would probably not live
TO reach Charleston.

this morning on the Atlantic Coast

will probably reach about 2 o'clock
today. From Charleston Mr.. Minis
will telegraph back whether the man

The details OF the trouble in which
Dukes was shot are not fully known
but from kilograms received and long
distance phone messages, II seems
that he was shot In an encounter
with the Atlantic Coast Line night

after he reached that place last night.
After the shooting he was taken on
TO Charleston on the Atlantic Coast

Hospital. Dukes. II seems, from the

HOLDS UP Ne
GRO WHO SLEW PINEWOOD
OFFICER.
News and Courier, Feb. 13.


News and Courier, Feb. IS.
Lying on a cot in the Roper Hos
Dukes, the negro who is wanted in
Pinewood for the murder of Chief of
Police Isadore Barwick there late
Monday afternoon, confessed to Chief
Cantwell last night that he fired the
shot that killed the Pinewood police
man. Dukes had only few minutes
before been sent to the Hospital by a
policeman at the Union Station, when
he left a train with a pistol shot
wound in his back, which, he says, a
highwayman inflicted on him at Ash
ley Junction. He is thought to be Sc
riously shot, and little hope is held
out for his life.
According to Dukes statement to
Chief Cantwell he shot Policeman
Barwick, the Pinewood officer, at the
railway station there late Monday af-
ternoon. when. he says, the latter at
tempted to kill him. The shooting Of
Barwick caused a great deal of ex-
citement at the time, and bloodhounds
were sent to the little town to run the
negro down. The dogs found the trail
OF Dukes shortly after their arrival
on the scene of the killing and follow
ed it to the house Of Dukes mother,
where they lost the scent. 1t was
learned later that the negro took
buggy and drove off towards the rail-
road.
Chief Cantwell learned last night
that Dukes boarded train at Preg-
nails, and came on to Ashley Junction,
where he says he left the train to
board another that was expected few
minutes later to go on to Beaufort.
However, while he was waiting at the
wayside station, he says, a tall, un-
known negro held him up at the point
of a pistol and took the 3S-calibre
revolver with which he says he killed
Policeman Barwick, and SO cents. He
claims that after he was relieved Of
these things the highwayman shot
him in the back and made his es-
cape.
Realizing that he was seriously
shot. Dukes boarded q train for
Charleston to come to the Hospital,
whittier a policeman sent him on his
arrival at the Union Station. That
he was Barwick's slayer, however,
was not discovered until 1t was learn
ed that he had sent a telegram to his
mother at Pinewood, requesting her
to come to his bedside as he was
badly wounded. Chief Cantwell i'm
mediately got busy, and the negro
broke down and admitted the shoot
ing, which he claims was done in self
defence.
The story Of his being held up at
the junction and his being shot by
a highwayman Is thought to De true,
for the wound in his back was still
fresh. On searching his clothing,
Chief Cantwell found $40 in the fob
pocket of his trousers. His condition
Is considered very serious, and he is
being guarded at the Hospital by
policeman.

your soil is good and Of proper depth
this will not be within two or three
days. Too much and too frequent
waterings not only weakens the
growth Of grass but also tends to
form a surface crust Of baked soil, on
which no lawn can flourish.
Do not gauge the quantity OF water
you use by the amount used by your
neighbor. Study intelligently the re.
suits Of your treatment Of your lawn.
1t may have a far different soil from
that Of your neighbor, and need less
water or more water. His may have
more fertilizer, or greater soil-depth,
or richer humus-and 1t may have fal
less of each than your own. Use YOU
own judgment. Good lawns are not
the result of haphazard methods.
In some sections of a city where the
soil is Of a porous character more
water is actually needed for good
results than in more favored portions
but this may be largely controlled
by the use of manures and other
plant foods. Some gravels cannot
grow grass even with the assistance
of copious applications OF water. On
the other hand when soil is deep and
rich, too much watering will result
In teaching the soil OF the very plant
which should be carefully retained
