Gov. Dunno of Illinois was
scheduled to meet the president
this afternoon for a conference
over the senatorial deadlock in
his state. President Wilson, it is
believed, will not indicate a choice

she has served him as slave were
made to the police and humane OH

fering frequent beatings.
The girl for some weeks had been
telling fortunes IN a little booth on
Main street, between First and Sec
ond streets. The other day, she says,
she earned s21, which she took to
her alleged master, but the latter was
not satisfied with this, she declares,
and she was compelled to go to some
PLACE, the location Of which she does
not know, and dance and sing before
men until a late hour.
The arrestlng officer was told OF
the case by a girl in whom the child
had confded. The Humane Society
was called in, the child turned over

Plant q Garden.

You don't need to be an expert to
make your spare land a source OF
revenue. Neither do you have to
know anything about botany to be-
gin raising flowers. Your land is
good for something, no matter how
unpromising. II You can't do any
thing better, put a nickel's worth
of Sunflower seed or wild cucumber
between the ash barrel and the back
fence. Then watch results. II you
once begin gardening, even in this
modest way, you aren't likely ever
to stop. From things needing no
care you will go to others needing a
little, and by and by, working in the
garden, feeling the soft ground un-
der your feet, getting the fresh fra
erance Of the morning air, wathching
the little green shoots come up and
develop, seeing the brilliant colors
take the place Of the dirty browns
and grays Of winter, will be more fun
than anything you have done since
you weze boy.

GANG OF THIEVES AT WORK.
Said to be Operating in This Section
Of the State.

The Herald says on wednesday
night of last week the store OF the
Bamberg Furniture and Hardware
Company in Bamberg was broken in
to and robbed Of about 500 worth
of goods, among the articles taken
being a fine shot gun, knives, razors,
and the like. The thieves made
their entrance through rear win
dow but went out the back door.
The next afternoon a telephone
message was received from Aiken
saying one Of the robbers had been
captured there, he being arrested by
Mr.. H. W. Kearsey, a game warden,
who found the negro, John Green
in company with two other negroes.
However, he only arrested Green
who carried the shot gun taken from
the store there.
Green has been brought to Bam-
berg and lodged in jail His story
is that he did not assist in the rob-
berry, but came to Bamberg with the
other two negroes Wednesday night.
That they walked to Denmark and
took the early Coast Line train to
Augusta. where they pawned watcn
taken from the store, and were back
in Aiken county when arrested by
Mr.. Kearsey.
He says the other two negroes are
the ones who did the stealing. No
doubt all are guilty, and Mr.. John
Cooner, secretary and treasurer OF
the hardware company, has offered a
reward Of SIS each for the capture
Of the other two negroes. Green says
there Is a regular gang Of negroes
organized for robbing in that section
and that the two negroes wanted to
belong to It.

foul MURDER INDICATED By THE
BODY Of A Man
With Ills neck HACKED
Stiff and Cold, His Neck Literally
Cut to Pieces, Isaac DuBose, Mid.
dlde-Aged White Man, Was Found
Cead Wednesday Morning About
One Half Mile From Bath.

What seems to be a foul murder
has been discovered over in Aiken
County. Stiff and cold, his neck 1T
orally cut to pieces, Isaac DuBose,
respectable, niddie-aged white man.
was found dead at Bath Wednesday
morning, the body having been dis
covered just after daybreak in a
swamp, or branch, about half mile
from the mill village, where it had
lain apparently for many hours. The
dead man is survived by wife and
small son.
Without any clue to the affair, It
il believed that the man was fouliy
done to death some time Tuesday
night, and one OF the most atrocious
crimes in the annals Of Aiken County
is indicated. The whole affair Ii en-
veloped in mystery.
Sheriff Henry H. Howard, Rural
Policeman S. E. Holley and q ply
sician fastened to Bath when ths
news was received at Aiken, at nooa
Wednesday. There they were join
ed by Coroner A. G II. Spradley, who
started an inquest, but this was ad-
journed until Saturday. The cor
oner's inquest, as far as it has gone,
served to reveal only one possible
clue that may ultimately reveal the
identity OF the dead mans assailant
or assailants.
One witness, a Bath preacher, tes-
tifed to having seen four men late
Wednesday evening travel leisureIy
toward the swamp where DuBose was
found dead; that DuBose was one OF
the four, and the only one whom he,
the witness, knew. Later three men
emerged from the swamp and went
away.
This is all that the authorities
have, as yet, connected with the
crime. However, they Will continue
to Investigate and the resumption
Saturday Of the coroner's hearing
may develop something Of interest.

THEY GO TO AUGUSTA
CONVICTS ARE RELEASED AT.
TER LEGAL DETENTION.
It Is Charged that the South Caro-
lima Authorities Are Negligent in
Sending For Them.

oE0UluS COS 4ASAhs
The Augusta Chronicle says Police
Lieut.. e. B. Hatcher is responsible
for the statement that Augusta is ov-
errun with criminals from South
Carolina, and that in the greater
mum Der Of instances, the city author
tiles are poWerless to act.
In the first place, he says, there
are any number OF pardoned GRIM
inals, who have found their way into
the city from "across the river, and
in the second place, the authorisies
are lax in sending for escaped con-
victs when they are apprehended and
held in the city.
Whether the recent excessive num-
Der Of burglaries are attributable to
any Of the escaped or pardoned con-
ricts, Mr.. hatcher would not say, for
if there were any evidence against
any Of them the situation would take
on a different aspect.
Mr.. Hatcher referred particularly
to a recent case wherein two con-
victs escaped from the South Caro-
lima chain gang. The customary no.
tice was sent the Augusta police de-
partment, and the two men were
arrested. The South Carolina author
tiles were formally notified, but the
men were never sent for. One is
said to have been a more or less
prominent burglar, and the other
was held for robbery.
They were detained at the Augusta
headquarters as long as the law al
lowed, or a longer period, and were
finally released. South Carolina has
not sent for them yet, and unless
they have left the city within the
last twenty-four hours, they are still
walking the streets within the law.

SENATE Is DEMOCRATIC
HAVE TWO MAJORITY NOW IN
THAT AUGUST BODY.
Can Garry Out Their Measures With
out the Aid of Any of the Pro-
gressive Republicans.

gresSive Republicans.
With tho election Wednesday "f
Willard Salisbury as United States
senator from Delaware. the Demo-
cratic strength in the next senate
swung from the precarious figure Of
47 or exactly one-half senate to the
safer total of ~, a majority Of two.
Mr.. Saulsbury's election, added to
the victory recently secured In Ten
nessee, assures the Democratic party
absolute control of the senate after
March 4. The vote of Vice Presi
dent Marshall would have been the
deciding factor in any event, but the
addition of another Democratic vote
to the column gives the party leaders
what they believe to be safe margin
for tariff and legislative action.
Contests still exist in the leglsla-
lures Of New Hampshire, West Vir-
gIhia and Illinois with total of four
senators to be elected about whose
political Affiliations doubt now exists.
A victory in any one Of these States
would so materially strength the
Democratic party that the senate
would be completely removed from
the element of uncertainty.
The attitude of the Progressives
and the progressive Republicans up
on tariff matters Is as yet unknown,
but the margrin of strength promis-
ed to the Democrats makes it un-
necessary, it is believed, to count
upon any combinations with the Pro-
gressives.
OF tho entire membership Of IS
senator's, So will hold over beyond
March 4. OF these 80 are Repubi
cans and 81 Democrats. The terms
Of 32 senator's expire in March, and
there Is, in addition, one vacancy in
Illinois. Thus far II Democratic
senators have been elected and the
election Of Senator Bacon in Georgia
is certain, making 1S Democrats to
take the oath Of Office March 4.
The opposition forces, including
both the Republicans and the Pro-
sressives, have elected II new sena-
tors. The senate, after March 4. will
stand as follows, If the deadlocks are
not broken in Illinois, New Hamp-
shire and West Virginia: Democrats,
40; Republicans and Progressives,
43; vacancies, 4.

KILLED BY A SINGLE VOTE
SENATE REJECTS LEVER AGRI-
CULTURAL BILL.
The Measure Will DO Brought Up in
the Next Congress When it Will
Pass Both Houses.

The vote OF Senator Obadiah Gard
ner. Of Maine, who Is generally be-
lieyed to be slated for Secretary OF
Agriculture In the Wilson Cabin.-,
defeated the Lever agricultural ex-
tension bill in the Senate Wednes-
day. Thisty-one Senators voted to
substantitute the Page vocational bill
for the Lever bill, and thirty Sen
ators voted against the substitute.
Four Democrats, Senators Chiffon.
Of West Virginia: Gardner and John
son Of Maine, and MARITIME. Of New
Jersey, supported the Page subs.:-
tute, while six Republicans, Senators
Bourne, OF Oregon: Bristov Of Kan
sas; Burnhan, Of New Hampshire;
Burnton. OF Ohio; Cummins, Of Iowa,
and LaFoliette, Of Wisconsin, voted
in favor Of the Lever bill. Other
wise, the division was strictly On
party lines, the Republicans as q
body standing by their Vermont col
league.
When seen after the vote, Repre-
sentative Lever said: II am not dis
courased by the situation because
the Page bill was passed by one vote
and included the substantial features
of my bill, as the latter was unani-
mously adopted by the House. I
have not determined whether to have
the matter referred back to the
House committee on agriculture or
&c ask for q conference. I do not
know what the attitude Of the House
will be, as the Page bill has never
been considered on that side"
The Lever bill is confined to agrt-
cultural extension and is a contin-
uation and development Of an estab-
lished policy, while the Page bill also
includes vocational and industrial
features and means the beginning Of
an absolutely new line Of activity by
the Federal Government. Again, un-
der the Lever bill, South Carolina
would have to spend only $4,000
to secure the benefit, while the state
would have to put up about s35o,ooo
under the Page bill before getting a
cont.
II the Lover and Page bills are
referred back to the House commit
tee on agriculture, there will prob
ably be no further action on them
at this session. II they go to confer
ence there L. bare chance that some
agreement may be reached. The
general view is that the subject Is at

He says that he Is very much in

If it has to be done, but does not
think it FOR the good Of the State.
He thinks the Federal Congress
will do very little before the inausu-

the Republicans are trying to leave
as much over as possible to handicap
the Democrats and make them act
on the appropriation bills and there
5y defer action on the tariff.
