That the oiled streets of the city

been proved by the recent long spell
of dry weather with its dusty roads

The GRAND JURY
ARE CHARGED With HOMICIDE
Clarke Was Killed Out Near
Plains

Further developments into the find
ing of the mutilated remains of ne
gro upon the brake beam of Seaboarl
freight train in the Americus yards
Tuesday has revealed the fact that the
negro, identified later as George Clark,
Jr., had been killed near Salter's
Crossing, between Plains and Amer!-
Gus, and his body left upon the railway
track by his slayers.
James Idelett and Jett Christian,
two negroes said to have been seen
with Clark late in the evening of the
day of the homicide, have been ar
rested and jailed here, pending inves-
tigation of the case by the grand jury
at the November term of court.
The negroes occupy separate cells,
and while they deny all knowledge Of
the killing, Coroner Jenkins, who re-
quested warrants for their detention,
believes that they know the facts re-
garding the tragedy.
Deputy Sheriff Harvey went to the
scene of homicide near Salter's Cross
ing, and there found the greater por
ton of the mangled body, together win
Clark's hat The hat contained a bull
let hole, while three pistol balls Were
found imbedded in crosstie, indicaf'
ing that Clark had been shot while ly'
ing upon the track.

thought might connect the negroes
Idelett and Christian with the homl
eide were found by Deputy Sheriff Har

TEACHERS ARE
PAID SALARIES
SUMNER session
over $1,000 WAS DISBURSED
In Payment Of Accounts for
August

Sumter county continues uninterrup-
tedly her record for the prompt pay
ment of her school teachers, and not a
penny is due any one of the sixty7six
teachers, except for the current month
of September, and, of course, not ye'
due. Every dollar of salary account
otherwise is paid up in full.
County Supt. w. S. Moore paid out
yesterday the sum of $1,000, consid
cradle portion of the amount being due
colored teachers for August salaries
Incidental bills for repairs upon build
ings were also paid.
No other county in Georgia pays its
public school teachers with greater
promptness than does Sumter. The
money is always in readiness in bank
here, and the siXty-siX teachers in thu
county schools have, for years past
received their salaries every month
and upon the day it was due.
The same condition applies to the
payment of teachers in the city schools
All are paid promptly without the de-
lay of a days waiting.

BAGGING BLAzED

Contents Of Car Well NIGH
Destroyed

A Central railway freight train Came
into the Americus yards yesterday af-
ternoon with a carload of jute bagging
on fire, although the fact was nor
known at the time. Later, when
smoke poured from the car, the fire
department was called hurriedly to
the scene.
The car doors were opened and wa
ter poured upon the burning cargo un-
til the flames were subdued, although
the shipment seemed welInigh de-
stroyed.
The bagging, probably several hun
dred rolls, had been loaded at Buena
Vista and consigned to Atlanta. The
fire in the car had evidently been
smolderfng for some time. Many &C
the rolls were half burned over and
they were dumped upon the grounf
and water poured upon them.
The burning car was backed up to
the Cotton avenue crossing where ths
iremen could most conveniently get

TARIFF REVISION

AFTER STRUGGLE
OF -FOUR MONTHS
Louisiana Senators FOrsdke
Party and Vote Against Bill
LAFOLLETTE AND POINDEXTER
VOTE FOR MEASURE-PRES-
ENT RATES ARE REDUCED %
PER CENTS GREAT VICTORY
FOR DEMOCRACY.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The demo-
cratic tariff revision bill passed the
senate at SAB o'clock yesterday after
noon amid a burst of applause that
swept down from crowded galleries
and found it's echo on the crowded
floor of the senate.
It's passage was attended with sur
prises in the final moments of the
voting, when Senator LaFollette, re-
publican, cast his vote with the dem
ocrats, and was joined a few moments
later by Senator Poindexter, progress
sive
The democrats had counte
throughout the long tariff fight upon
losing the votes of Senators Ransdell
and Thornton, of Louisiana, demo-
Gratis, who voted against the bill yes
terday, because it would put sugar on
the free list
Until the names of Senators LaFol-
lette and Poindexter were actually
called, however, no one knew def
nitely the stand they would take, and
their votes were greeted with enthus
iastic applause.
The vote was "A to 81, in favor O
the bill after all amendments had
been defeated.
President Wilson tonight expressed
great qualification over the end of the
long struggle in the senate. Senator
Simmons, chairman of the finance
committee, who had piloted the bill
through the finance committee, the
democratic caucus and the senate,
predicted that it's passage would
bring immediate stimulus to the COM
mercial life of the country.
AS it passed the senate the tariff
lbill represents an average reduction
! of more than 4 per cent. from the
rates of the original bill that. passed
the house, and nearly 2S per cent.
from the rates of the existing law.
In many important places, the SEN
ate has changed the bill that passed
the house, and conference commits
tee of the two houses will begin work
at once to adjust these differences.
Leaders of both houses predict that
the conference will consume less than
two weeks time.
The senate endeavored yesterday
to hasten the bill on it's progress to the
white house by naming it's member;
of the conference committee as soon
as the bill passed.
Vice President Marshall appointed
Senators Simmons, Stone, Williams
land Johnson, democrats and Senators
Penrose, Lodge and LaFollette, re
lpublicans, as the senate conferees.
Senator Stone withdrew from th'
lc7 mmittee, and Senator Shively wa!
Iappointed in his place. The house
conferees, 1t was reported last night
will be Representatives Underwood
Kitchin and Rainey, democrats, ant
Payne and Fordney, republicans. Eact
house will have an equal vote in thu
conference committee even thougi
each does not name the same numbe
of conferees.

Ell and free, he did not know what to
do. The newspaper men Following him
took him into their car and are now
travelling with him. Already they have
passed over Vermont into New Hamp-
shire. AS the car progresses the news
paper men report Tnaws movements.
The situation that Harry ThaW
finds himself in today is by far the
most extraordinary that has mark
the progress of the sensational case
since he fed from the Matteawan in
some asylum, August 18th.
Believing this morning that he was
being kidnapped he resisted forcibiy
his removal from Coaticook, only to
find that the outcome of his quick
DASH in an automobile to American
territory was to bring him uneX-
pected freedom and place him in the
hands of the men who up to the
present time had devoted their ener-
gies to the reporting of his case.
ThaW was dazed at the suddenneSS
o. the events of the morning; without
his array of legal counsel he did not
know where to turn for advice.
After brief consultation with the
newspaper men the automobiles hired
by the reporters with Thaw in it went
on to Averill. Here a brief stop was
made and by 10 o'clock he had cross
ed the Vermont line into New Hamp-
shire.
Armed with written orders to de-
port Thaw E. Blake Robinson, assls;-
ant superintendent OF immigration,
came here unherald last night. Ac-
companied by two subordinates and
two policemen, Robertson went tn
lThaw's quarters in the detention pen at
lS o'clock this morning. They found
him IN and dressed. Robertson, as
spokesman for the group, told Thaw
he had orders to deport him to Yer
mont. Thaw could not have been more
surprised had he been told that he
was free. Before Thaw could reply
Robertson ordered him to get ready
at once for the trip, adding that an
automobile was waiting for the dash
to the border.
| Thaw's surprise changed to fury in
In moment. He refused to go and
picking I'D bottle hurled it at Rob
ertson. The missile went wide of its
target. crashed through a window ard
broke on the roadway outside. Roo
ertson and his men seized the pris-
oner and forcibly elected him from
the cell.
A knot of spectators witnessed tne
struggle, as Thaw was hurriedly placed
lin an automobile, fighting madly al
1.-The time, and crying that he was being
kidnapped. Except for the principals
they were the only persons in Coat
Icook who knew what was going on
None of the attorneys on either sid
were present, or knew anything o
the plan to deport Thaw..
The immigration officials after plac
