New Stone Tower Light House
at Vineyard Haven.
Boston Seamen's Friend Society Erect
1t in Memory Of the Dead of the
Merchant Marine--ChapIain
Originates Idea.

Boston.-A unique and striking me-
mortal structure lis the new stone tow
er in the form OF a lighthouse, erected
at Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vine
yard, in memory of dead seamen OF
the merchant marine, by the Boston
Seamen's Friend society. The tower
is practically completed, although two
bronze tablets, one bearing the dedi-
cation, and the other the names of the
men buried in the shadow of the
tower, have yet to be placed. The
Boston Seamen's Friend society main
tains a Bethel at Vineyard Haven,
with a chaplain who has charge OF
both the spiritual and the physical
welfare of the seafarers who put into
port there.
The chaplain, Madison Edwards,
originated the idea of such a memorial
five years ago. Funds to the amount
of nearly $500 were collected from the
seameL in the harbor, and the work
was undertaken by Edwards assistant.
Austin Tower, who built the monu-
ment from specifications obtained from
the u. S. lighthouse board, Mr.. Ed
wards, in the Bethel boat, the Helen
went to the islands of Naushon and
Nashawena, nearby, for field stone OF
suitable size from the rocky hills. 1t
is estimated that over 80 tons of small
stone were brought across for the pur'
pose. The trimmings are of granite.
The work was done by Mr.. Tower
in spare time, with the aid of Mr.. Ed

GRANT WINS HABEAs CORPUS.
Attorney General Says Negro Charg'
ed with Murder Must Come Back.

Columbia, April 1.-THE negro
Joe Grant, who is wanted in South
Carolina for the murder of white
farmer in Edgefeld in April, 1908
won in his habeas corpus appeal be.
fore a Judge in Harrisburg, Pa
Ten days are allowed the State OF
South Carolina to appeal.
Governor Blease some time ago is
sued requisition papers for the ne
gro and Solicitor George Bell Tim
norman, Of Lexington, was sent tc
Pennsylvania to represent the State
Despite the pleas of the attorneys OF
Grant that he would be lynched il
brought back to this State, Governor
Tener honored the papers.
Attorney General Peoples has re-
ceived wire from Mr.. Zimmerman
advising him of the turn the case has
taken and informing him that he has
put the matter in the hands of the
local district attorney and is return
ing home. Mr.. Peoples said that he
intended to get the negro back in
South Carolina even if the State has
to take the matter into the United
State Supreme Court; that men can
not be murdered in South Carolina
indiscriminately and the assassin get
off scot free.
The wire of Solicitor Zimmerman
to Attorney General Peoples is as
follows: "Won before Judge, but

SOLICITOR ZIMMERMAN BACK.
Believes Joe Grant Will Yet be Tried
in Edgefeld.

Lexington, April 23.-George Bell
Zimmerman, solicitor of the 18th Ju-
dicial circuit, returned to Lexington
last night from Harrisburg, Pa,
where he went ten days ago to rep
resent the State of South Carolina
in an effort to bring back to Edge
field county, a negro by the name of
Joe Grant, who is wanted for the al
legged murder of J. T. burst, at Johns
ton in 1896. Mr.. Zimmerman was
successful in so far as getting the
Governor of Pennsylvania to honor
the requisition of the Governor OF
South Carolina, but Grant, through
his attorneys, brought habeas corpus
proceedings to further delay the ef-
forts that are being made to- bring
him back to this State for trial.
Mr.. Zimmerman is of the opinion,
however. that the question of Grants
coming back to this State is only held
I'D temporarily and the solicitor be-
lieves that he will win out in the end.

Less Liquor Consumption.

Some contend that there is as
much whiskey consumed now as
when Abbeville had dispensary
The receipts at the express office and
the cases docketed before the mayor
do not warrant such an assertion.
The receipts at the express office
for the month of February, 1911,
were about 800 packages; 1912
about 500 packages, and 1913 about
showing a decrease of 2OO
packages in three years.
The cases in the city court for the
last two years of the dispensary for
drunkenness for the month of Feb
ruary were &C, while for the past two
years for the same month only seven
cases were docketed for the same Of
fense.
From these figures it does not ap-
pear that there is as much whlskey
consumed now as when the dlspen-
sary was in operation.-Abbevllle

DIED LIKE A HERO.
Virginian Gives Up His Life to Save
That of His Wife.

Roanoke, Va, April 14.-While
crossing the James River Sunday af-
ternoon in a row boat near Buchanan,
Va, Samuel Hope, 33 years old, was
drowned when the swift current sent
the light craft against a ferry tow
line and upset it. His 15-year-old
bride Of less than a month and her
brother, Raymond Booze, were res
cued.
AS the boat turned turtle, Hope
seized the tow-line and was holding
firm. The swift current of the river,
swollen from recent floods, carried the
line out of his wife's reach and she
was rapidly being swept away. I'm
hesitatingly Hope released his hold
on safety and swan to the rescue OF
his bride. He succeeded in keeping
her afoat until relieved of his bur-
den by a negro boatman, who had
come to their rescue. Exhausted by
his efforts to- stem the current and
support his wife, the husband sank
to his death. His body has not been
recovered.

TOOK THE SHERIFF'S ADVICE.
Woman Returns Home, Abandoning
Plan of Shooting Up St. Matthews.

St. Matthews, April 13.-It is a
cold day in August when this gay vii
lage is without a novelty of some
kind, but the newest and most up-to-
date innovation ever known to "the
oldest inhabitant,' transpired yester-
day, and there is no fake story about
it. Sheriff Hill was made wise to the
fact, early in the morning, that a
strong, brawny white woman with
muscles like a prize fighter had got
ten aboard of train at a flag station
near the Congaree River bridge with
a rife and was threatening to shoot
up the town of St. Matthews. When
the sheriff arrived at the depot, few
minutes after the train rolled into
this burg, he found this belligerent
Amazon pazing up and down the sta
tion platform with fire in the eye, the
forbidding weapon at attention and
pouring forth a volley of imprecations
unsuited to "ears polite" 1t appears
that she had been receiving sundry
and vigorous "duns" from an expert
mercantile collector of ST.. Matthews,
which rounded up with visit to her
home of vigilant constable, and she
had to come to town to redress her
wrongs on the field of honor" Un-
der the suave. but positive arguments
of Calhoun's doughtery sheriff she
was induced to take the first north
bound train for her domicile in the
cane brakes of the Congaree River
swamp-a sadder and wiser cru
sader.

RAT PROOF YOUR BUILDINGS.
Government Health Bureau Recon-
mends Such Measures.


Washington, April 14.-As a fur
ther step in it's crusade against rats
as breeders of disease, the United
States public health service, has is
sued an appeal to property owners
to rat proof" structures now under
construction and to transform build
ings now erected so that rats and
mice may be kept out.
DR.. French Simpson, Of the SER
vice, gives direction for "rat proof
ing" and dwells on the Importance
of the subject.
Those contemplating the erection
of a new or the repair Of an old
building" says DR.. Simpson, "wheth-
er of frame, brick, rock, concrete or
other construction, Should be inform
ed as to the sanitary and economic
benefits to be derived from rat proof
ing measures of a permanent char
acter, and should require the scru-
pulous application of such measures
as part of the builders contract. :"
DR.. Simpson characterizes as "a
popular fallacy,' the idea that sue
cessful war can be waged on rodents
through the use of traps or poisons.
They are so prolific, he declares, that
the birth rate always keeps in ad-
vance of the death tolls
