TILLMAN EYEING LEGISLATURE.
"Hoping and Praying for Some Rea-
sonable Railroad Bill"

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Tillman said to-day to the News and
Courier's correspondent:
Il am watching the legislature of
South Carolina and hoping and pray
ing that it will pass some reasonable
railroad bill. 1t ought to pass bill
requiring every railroad selling mile
age books to sell one good for any
number of persons to go anywhere on
the system, just as they do all over
the North, east of the arid prairies.
The requirement that holders of
mileage books shall exchange mile
age for tickets is nuisance and an
abomination, and the requirement
that a man shall buy separate book
for each member of his family is
robbery that ought not to be per-
mitted.
Il don't see why the railroads in
South Carolina can't treat white peo-
pie as they do in the North, instead of
like cattle. Only 'cussing' will do the
subject justice. These nuisances
ought to be abated, and the legisla-
ture can do it."

"Joy Riding" Caused it All.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-"Joy riding
in automobiles is one of the reasons
given by Robert Webb, confessed
slayer of Detective Peter Hart, and
leader of Chicago's automobile ban
dts, for turning to career of crime.
1T was Joy riding and loan
sharks that made a thief out of me, V
said Webb. These loan sharks got
me in bad for about $50. l paid that
much back, but 1 never got square
with them. l still owe them. When
I'd take these Joy rides in auto
mobiles I used to think how easy it
would be for a fellow to stick up
some one and make a quick get away
in a machine. I kept thinking about
it and finally I thought I'd get some
easy money!

TILLMAN'S IDEA IN 1897.
Webb Liquor Bill Identical with that
of South Carolina Senator.

Washington, Feb. 15.-It is an in
teresting fact that the Webb bill,
just passed by overwhelming majori-
ties in both houses of congress, is
practically identical with a bill which
was introduced by Senator B. R. Till
man January %, 1897, to divest the
shipments of intoxicating liquor of
their interstate character after they
have entered the territory of the
State of destination. A favorable re-
port was secured by Senator Till
man on this bill from the senate
committee on interstate commerce,
February 9, 1897, but it went no far
ther. 1t has taken the proposition
sixteen years to get through con-
gress. Now sentiment is so strong
for it that it's advocates believe they
could pass it over a presidential We

TOM HIGHTOWER LOCATED?
Charged with Literally Cutting to
Pieces His Wife in 1904.

Bennettsville, Feb. 15.-Informa-
ton is received here to-day to the ef-
feet that Tom Hightower, who is
charged with having murdered his
wife in this county in 1904, is on
the chain gang in Pickens county,
near Easley. The sheriff with par
ties to identify Hightower will leave
at once.
Hightower was charged with one
of the most brutal murders that has
ever been perpetrated in this county.
DR.. j. H. Reese, who examined the
body, gave the following certificate
to the coroner's jury on the 22nd
day of May, 1904:
Il have this day examined the
body of Mary Hightower. l find the
wound extending from under the left
ear to about two inches beyond the
right ear, cutting the windpipe and
the large blood vessel of the right
side. This, in my opinion, was done
with sharp cutting instrument, and
was cause of death. 1 find the body
cut entirely into, just below and in
line with the lower ribs. Both arms
were taken off at shoulder. joints, and
both legs at the knee joints. All
these wounds, in my opinion, were
done with some sharp cutting instru-
ment."
Tom Hightower and his wife were
seen together on the Wednesday
morning preceding, before sun-up,
going in the direction of Tatum Sta
ton. Mary Hightower was not seen
alive after that. Tom Hightower
was at his home the -: c., Thurs
day. and stated that J.. did not know
whe- rs wife was, and that he was
going off to try to find her. He has
not been seen in this county since
then. Hightower was supposed to
have murdered his wife, cut her
body up and to have buried parts of
it in what is known as the Ocean,
a large tract of sandy land near Ia
tum. He was seen going in that di-
rection late Wednesday evening with
a grubbing hoe and sack.
Hightower, after leaving the coun-
ty, has avoided all attempts OF locat-
ing him. He was recognized by an
ether negro, who was put on the
chain gang at Pickens, and who had
formerly known Hightower in Marl-
boro county. 1t is understood that
Hightower's terms of service on the
chaing gang in Pickens will expire
March 1. In that event he will, no
doubt, be tried at Bennettsville for
the murder of his wife, at the March
term of court All of the testimony
tending in connection with the muir
der of his wife is circumstantial.

HOUSE PASSES PENSION BILL.
Largest Measure of Kind Ever Re.
ported to Congress.

Washington. February 1S.-The
largest pension bill ever reported to
congress. carrying appropriations
aggregating S1S0,30O, 900, was pass
ed by the house to-day by a vote of
PIG to 40. with an amendment, which
will make necessary an additional
appropriation of more than S1,000,-
600.
A small number of Democrats, led
by Representative Roddenberry, of
Georgia, made futile efforts to add
amendments to bar from the pension
rolls veterans having incomes eX-
ceeding $1,000 year, and not en-
titled to pensions on account of
wounds or disability sustained in the
military service.
AS reported by the committee, the
bill contained a, paragraph providing
that after July /, 1913, no pension
should be paid to nonresident not
citizen of the United States, except
for actual disabilities incurred in the
service A motion by Representa-
tive Goode, of Iowa, to strike out
this paragraph was carried, 154 to
112, many Democrats joining with
the solid Republican minority in sup
port of the motion.
1t is estimated that something
over s1,0O0,0O0 is paid annually to
veterans who would have been barr
ed by this paragraph.

DANGER OF LYNCHING.
Men in Construction Camp Threaten
ed to Do Violence.

Newberry, Feb. 17.-Sunday even
ing about 8 o'clock teleph ne mes
sage reached Newberry for the sheriff
to come to Parr Shoals on Broad
river, II miles from here; that there
was trouble there Sheriff Blease was
in Columbia, having gone to see his
wife, who was very i'll in hospital
in that city. Deputy Sheriff Tom
Berley responded Immediately to the
call, going down alone in the sheriff S
auto. Crossing the river by means
of a boat at the Hope place, and
walking a mile up the river he found
George Hensinger concealed in the
office of the superintendent of the
J. G.. White Construction company,
and slipping him out of the office and
to the river bank they crossed to the
island in the steel cage and thence
to the Newberry side. There was a
great deal of excitement in the camp
and danger of Hensinger being lynch
ed. The deputy told his man that
he had no right to bring him without
his consent, and he replied that he
would go readily anywhere to get out
of that place.
Mr.. Berley made the trip down to
the river in an hour. 1t took some
time to get across the river back and
forth, and he spent some time on
the other side and got back to town
about midnight.
The facts in the case of the Parr
Shoals trouble, as far as could be as
certained from Hensinger, are about
as follows: Sunday at midday Hen
singer had a row with one of the
white laborers, a foreigner whose
name he does not know. He got the
best of the fight, and the man said
he was satisfied. But at night, when
Hensinger was sitting at the supper
table, the laborer came up behind
him and struck him singing blow
on the side of the face. Hensinger
jumped to his feet and drew his
pistol and fired two shots; one of
them killed his assailant and the
other penetrated the lungs of a by
stander, producing what is supposed
to be mortal wound. Fearing more
trouble, and knowing that the two
policemen of the incorporated camp
would be helpless against large
mob, officers telephoned to the sheriff
of Newberry. The killing was on the
Fairfield side, but it was thought help
could come quicker from this side.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
Berley wired to the sheriff of Fair
field telling him that the man who
did the killing was in Jail here. Hen
singer is a man of pleasant and in
teligentappearance and good address.
He says he lives in Chattanooga,
Tenn, where he has a home and a
wife and child. He was superintend-
ent of the dining room for the whites
at Parr Shoals; had been there little
more than a week.

IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading-Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.

The Campobello oil mill was de-
stroyed by fire last Friday. The loss
is $4,000 with insurance of S20,-
600. The mill will probably be re-
built.
The bill providing for passenger
rate of two cents a mile on all rail-
roads in South Carolina has not yet
passed the legislature nor is it likely
to do so.
The appropriation bill of congress
carries an item of S225,000 for a
new federal building in Columbia.
Representative Lever hopes to in
crease this amount to s275,000.
The governor has again notified
the general assembly that unless a
one mill tax is levied for the COM
mon schools he will veto the appro-
priations for every college in the
State.
The report of superintendent
Swearingen says there are 4,463
white teachers in the State, of which
over 5000 are women. The total en-
rollment of pupils for the year was
156,2S0 white pupils and 175,307
negroes.
The new Spartanburg city direc-
tory puts the population ct 21,207.
Adger E. Greer and Mrs. Minnie
Shevely, passing as man and wife,
were arrested in Spartanburg Sat-
urday. He has a wife and she a
husband in Greenville.
1t now seems likely that the senate
will kill the Rittenberg liquor bill
which provides for a system of high
license in Charleston under dispen-
sary restrictions. There is much op-
position in Charleston to it, the may
or especially being against it.
Geo. w. Long, who was convicted
a year ago of manslaughter in the
killing of Luther Mullinax, of Troy,
in October, 1911, and sentenced to
the penitentiary for three and half
years, has abandoned his appeal and
begun serving his sentence.
The Barnwell People says: There
were 50 prisoners lodged in the
Barnwell county jail during the
month of January, charged with
nearly every crime in the calendar.
At present time there are rs in jail,
the others having obtained bail or
had their cases settled"
There are now seven candidates
in the race for congress to succeed
the late Geo. S. Legare, four from
Charleston, two from Colleton, and
one from Berkeley. The State exec
utive committee will meet to-mor-
row to fix the date for the primary
election, which will likely be held the
latter part of April.
Leonard Guyton, the 3-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Guyton, of
the Cox mill village, in Anderson,
was burned to death last Friday
when his dress caught fire from an
open fireplace. The child's cries
brought assistance, but before the
flames could be extinguished he was
so badly burned that he died three
hours later.

PLANTS THAT GIVE LIGHT.
Some Animals Also Shed Strange
GLOW i'm the Dark.

To the city dweller the phenom-
enon of animal phosphorescence is
rarely if ever presented.
Still in spite of it's apparent rarity,
animal phosphorensence is a COM
mon occurrence in likely localities.
says the Boston Herald. 1t is wide
distribution, being seen in the high
Alpine SHOWS, in the deepest ocean
valleys, while the property of emit
ting light is possessed by bird, beast
and fish.
Very few of the higher animals
are phosp but notable ex-
ceptions are the night heron and blue
crane. These birds have been OBJ
served repeatedly, and there is little
doubt that the greasy patches of
down on the breast and thighs are
visibly luminous up to distance of
fifty yards. A hunter states that in
a heron he shot, the light was as
bright as a hand lantern, and that
his gun sights were plainly visible
against it. The light quickly disap-
pears after death and does not
recur
The eyes of certain monkeys are
sufficiently bright in complete dark
ness to illuminate objects within a
radius of a foot. This is different
phenomenon from the brilliant eyes
of cat, which shine only by absorb
ing and rejecting light near at hand.
Many flowers and plans have been
observed to be luminous for short
periods after sunset. The flowers
of the nasturtium' possess a light
ning-like phosphoresence. Common
marigolds sometimes have an aura
of pale golden yellow that play from
petal to petal, and smoky finishes
of green flame have been seen or the
scarlet long-haired poppy. Several
of the lily family are luminous in
very dry weather.
Many bushes also give out light.
Decayed and fungold wood is also
"fox fire." On one occasion some of
this was used for a camp fire, and
many of the broken fragments were
scattered over the ground where the
men were sleeping. The fire died out
during the night and one of the party
awoke, and in his fright awoke the
rest, who were equally terrified, be-
lieving that they were lying among
live Goals.
Many reasons have been assigned
as the cause of animal and vegetable
luminosity, but until recently none
had been put forward that were wor-
they of consideration. The recent re-
searches on radio-activity have shown
that within the atom lies mighty
force that man has not succeeded in
utilizing. SO tremendous is the lat-
ent energy that were it possible to
loose only a part of it, boy, by
turning a crank, could manufacture
sufficient electrical energy to drive
the engines of London's countless
workshops and factories.
Radium owes it's wonderful prop
critics to the fact that its atoms are
in state of decay, and the disinte-
grafton produces certain amount of
energy. 1t has been thought that to
some creatures the secret of using
this interatomic energy has been re-
vealed, with the result that they can
transform the light.

Uniform Milage Rates.

The question of uniform milage
rates is one in which the people
of every community is vitality in
terested. On March "a and Is
the announcement is made that
the Railroad Commission will hold
a session in the city of New Or
leans to consider the question of
establishing uniform mileage
rates in Louisiana. This will put
all shipping points and all ship
pers on an equality, and in the
long run will be directly in the
interest of the consumer, who
in the end has to pay the freight
on every article. The present
parcel post system, which is CIV
ing such universal satisfaction to
the common people, is based on
the fairness and justice of this
plan.
There is no justice in allowing
one railroad to charge twice as
much for hauling any given arti-
Gle fifty miles, when another rail-
road hauls the same article the
same distance for half the money.
This matter is being taken up by
the Farmers Union in various To-
calities, and the Grand Cane To-
cal has gone on record in a letter
to the Railroad Commission fav-
oring the establishment of uni
form milage rates. Other local
unions have been requested to
take similar action.
Freight rates are something
that affects every community
alike. and in this day of Demo-
cratic triumph, it stands the
great mass of the common people
well in hand to be united in de-
handing that their rights be
recognized and respected. We
hope to see the demand for uni
form mileage rates urged by the
people of every community in
Louisiana.
