States Attitude on Webb Law.

The attitude which the State
of South Carolina will take on
the Webb law, will come up for
a hearing before the Supreme
Court the first Monday in May.
At that time the cases of the
Abbeville people, whose liquor
was seized under the Webb law,
will be argued on a return to a
rule to show cause, which was
issued by Chief Justice Gary.
At the time the Attorney Cen
eral will file brief in this mat
ter, setting forth the opinion of
the State.
Governor Blease has stated
that as soon as he gets the opin-
ion of the Attorney General, and
if the latter decides that he can
enforce the Webb law. he will
seize all liquor or beer shipped
into the State, except for the
dispensaries. All people will
have to buy their alcoholic bev-
erages through the dispensaries
in this event, or they will lose

perished in the sinking of the
Titanic last April, left a gross
estate of $87, 340,9i7, according

c'ught her 10y the left arm and
swung a long handled wrench.
used by car inspectors, striking
her on the head. He forced her
into the room, striking her
several times with the heavy
wrench, she screaming aloud.
Her son attempted to dash from
the room tor assistance and
Kelly caught him. dealing him a
fearful blow on the head with a
wrench and following him to the
yard, striking him again. He
then dashed towards the back
fence, as the lady's cries were
attracting PERSONS from all
around, tor the home is near the
old Jacob hotel on Front street.
In trying to get over the back
fence his feet slipped and his
arms were skinned, but he got
away before the crowd reached
him. He was captured at the
restaurant next door several
hours later, with every evidence
of beng the right negro, even to
blood stains and freshly washed
cuffs and skinned arms. He is
now in Jail. Both the lady and
her son are in Il serious con-
dition. The victim is the wife vi

Groceries Will be Cheaper.

Should the tariff bill pass as
introduced in the House it will
materially reduce the price of
many articles that are used by
all the people of thus country.
Charles Thorpe, editor of the
Grocers' Advocate, in speaking
of the bill, says that sugar will
come III practically free. This
he says will not mean anything
to the retail grocer, but to the
consumer it will mean a differ
ence of two cents less per pound.
Flour will also be greatly re-
duced in price to the consumer
and the difference will be about
81. 40 less barrel for average
grades. There will be similar
IT ductions in rice, buckwheat
flour and other staple groceries.
Common soap should, in cases
where it now costs seven cents a
cake, be reduced to something
nearer five cents cake. I'M
ported biscuits should also come
down a similar amount. These
are only a few of the articles
that will be cheapened by the
bill. These reductions will help
the poor people, the very class
that needs help, most.

Murdered Victim Nay be Identified.

Sheriff John P. Hunter, of
Lancaster county, a few days
ago received from merchant
in Bishopville a letter of inqniry
about the unknown body found
on the banks of Twelve Mile
creek, near Osceola, about three
weeks ago. The letter follows:
We received news concerning
person that was murdered
about Is miles north of Lancas-
ter and from the information
received from the party he seems
to think that the description the
foreman of the jury of inquest
gave him was H. Hyman Harry
Hyman as we all know him).
This party-H. Hyman-is 21
years old, clean face, very dark
skin for a white man, rather
Indian color, a Jew and weighs
about 1876 pounds. He hal an
operation last fall and one of
his toes and the nail was taken
off. He was about 5 feet 7
inches tall; or under. If he had
any papers on him or letters
that bear his name they are in
the Hebrew language, or if he
had checkbook, this might lead
us to think he was Harry Hy-
man. How long has this body
been dead, and on what day was
it found? If this party does not
answer to the description, and if
he was Jew, please let us
know. Also sinform me when
and where you buried the body"
Sheriff Hunter, after receiving
this letter, renewed his efforts
to unravel the mystery. The
governor has offered a reward
of $75 for the apprehension of
the party or parties guilty of
this murder, and Sheriff Hunter
has personally offered reward
of $25 for the same purpose.

Want Your Income Taxed?

Now that there is fair pros.
pect of the passage of some sort
of income tax law, an article in
the current issue'of Farm and
Flreside proves interesting. Fol.
lowing is an extract:
AT the outset there are two
opposing views. Shall it be made
to affect a very wide range of
lncomes-say, all down to SIS, 600
or small range say, all above
perhaps $4,000 If you raise
500, GOO. 600 year from incomes
above $25, 600, the rate will be
much higher than if you spread
1t over all incomes down to $5,-
600. The people with the very
ing incomes want it made 'popu-
lar that is, applied to the
widest possible range; a device.
OF course, that would really make
1t unpopular. It'll never be very
popular at best with those who
pay. On the other hand. many
people want this tax to hit those
with the big incomes; they want
1t to keep the great fortunes
from growing too fast: to make
them pay a big share of the gov
ernmental burdens.
'Objections to income taxa
ton as inquisitorial is little heard
IN Britain nowadays, because
they have a careful system of
taxing the income at the source
That is, if you draw $25, 900 SAL
airy as president Of railroad,
the railroad reports that fact to
the government, pays your tax
for you, and takes it out of your
pay envelope"

Senator Works Attacks Newspapers

Thursday in the United States
senate Senator Works, of Cali
fornia, attacked present day
journalism and newspapers of
the country in a speech in sup
port of his bill to make it un-
lawful for the District of Colum-
bla newspapers to publish de-
tails of crimes, accidents and
tragedies.
Whether the people want
this kind of news or not is not
the one question to be considered.
Looking at journalism as nothing
higher than means of making
money, newspaper men main
tain they furnish this kind of
news because people want and
will have it and therefore it is
the only way of maintaining
their publications on a paying
basis. If this is true it certainly
is melancholy fact. If it is un-
true it is a grave charge to make
against the American people.
Undoubtedly it is true of
some people but | am convinced
that the masses of the people
who support newspapers would
prefer to have such news omitted
and many people do not read
newspapers and exclude them
from homes because of objection
able matter.

HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK
IN THE GOLD HILL SECTION
Correspondence Fort Mila Times.

correspondence rOrt Mlfq Times.
The Gold Hill school came to
close last Friday The pro-
gramme was an interesting one.
and the exercises Were enjoyed
by large ctowd. The most
interesting feature of the MORN
ing exercises was. with the ex-
ception OF Mr.. Rembert's ad-
dress, the debate. The affirmative
side won by vote of two to one
over the neGativeS but, as Mr..
Rembert said, excellent speeches
were made oil both sides.
After the debate. the crowd
listened with k een interest,
while MIR. Rembert of Columbia
delivered most encouraging
and enlighteniug address on
education. Then dinner was
served on the z rounds, at the
conclusion of which the crowd
spent their time in numerous
ways, as there was no pro-
gramme for the afternoon.
A much larger crowd witnessed
the evening exercises than the
morning exercises. The plays,
drills, and Tom Thumbs We'd
ding were interesting and were
enjoyed by everyone present.
The commencement as a whole
was greater than any that has
been held at Gbld Hill in a num-
Der of years.
The prizes given by the school
to the best pupils were won by
Brice Windle and Winnie Crook.
The fishermen of this section
spent very enjoyable evening
down on the river Saturday.
They ate so many fish that some
OF them think that they can
swim in the air."
Messrs. G.. B. Kimbrell, of
Charlotte, and G. c.. Blanken-
ship, of Rock Hill, spent Satur-
day night and Sunday at their
homes in this community.
A light shower of hail fell in
this section last week, but for
tunately, we are glad to say, it
was too light to do any damage.
The Gold Hill people think
Magistrate Harris acted wisely
in selecting w. f. Windle as his
constable. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Windle will make as good a
constable as anyone that Mr..
Harris could have selected.
An unusual large crowd was
present at Flint Hill Sunday
afternoon to hear the excellent
sermon delivered by Rev. Mr..
Hair. Mr.. Farmer, you can do
a mighty good thing by sending
that boy or girl of yours out to
Flint Hill to hear the excellent
sermons delivered from Sabbath
to Sabbath by Mr.. Hair.
Ii the weather stays like it has
been for the past few days,
much will be ACCOMPLISHED
towards the planting of our crops
by Saturday night. G.. w.
