FAMILY MURDERED
and HOME BURNED

Columbia, S. c., June 28.-That
John D. Jacobs, a farmer living
near Peak, Lexington county, to-
gether with his wife and four child
ren, were murdered, the house being
afterwards set ON fire in an effort to
conceal the crime, was the conclu-
sion reached a e today by the coro-
ners jury after an inquest which
lasted all day.
Early this morning a milkman
man discovered dense smoke is
SUNG from a grove where the Jacobs
residence was located. Investieat-
ing ne fonud the house almost en-
tlrely destroyed and his further
disclosed the presence of several
charred bodies among the ruins.
The inquest developed the fact that
Jacob, his wife, his daughter Ellie,
aged %. and three sons, aged 18, IA
and 10, were all dead.
The bodies of all except that of
the Oldest son, were found lying in
their beds as if they had been mur-
dered while they slept. The body
OF Leslie Jacobs was found before
the fireplace, with shot gun be-
side it. A gun was also found be-
side the charred body of Mr.. Jacobs
and an axe near the body of an
other of the boys.
The skulls of Mrs. Jacobs and the
daughter were crushed as if by
heavy blows. and blood was found
beneath the other bodies. The
mattress upon which the youngest
boy lay was soaked with blood. No
arrests have been made and there
is no clue to aid the officers in
their search for the murderer. The
verdict of the coroners jury was
that the dead were slain by persons
unknown.-Observer.

WORK OF Commission,

July 1.-Lively debates on the
initiative and referendum increased
pay for Legislators. additional taxa
ton talk, and some legislation to
abate the special legislation nui-
sance, occupied the commissioners
time today.
1t was the best day of the session
now finishing it's seventh days work.
More matters were acted upon than
upon any former day. None of the
discussions has been rancorous. 1t
has been interesting throughout.
1t became known today that the
report made by the subcommittee
on taxation exempting from taxa
ton the income from property tax
ed, will be adopted.
The amendment to prohibit the
Legislature from passing certain
local, special, and private bills, pass
ed its second reading, and will GER
tainly appear in the final report of
the final report of the commission
to the Governor and the LEGISLATURE
The initiative and referendum
discussion was warm. The amend.
ment passed it's second reading
a tter a resolution not to
submit it at this time had been
voted down. The vote was eight to
seven. The debate on this was the
feature of the meeting thus far, in
tellectually speaking.
The proposition to increase the
pay OF the Legislators from 81 to $6
a day and the presiding officers
rom So to $40, passed it's Sec
ond reading by a vote of II to 1.
The proposal to change the elec-
ton of members of the Legislature
and the time of the Legislatures
meeting from two years to four
years, was defeated. There is no
sentiment for this measure in the
commission. The amendment to
change and make easier the amend
ing OF the State constitution was
voted down.
The public appears to have gotten
the wrong idea as to the reading of
the Bible in the public schools. The
proposition submitted, only permits
the reading, and does not compel
it. This passed its second reading
tonight.

Frank Stammers of 1861 Mission
street is 10 years old. He goes to
the Commercial school in Mis-
sion street. He reads The Call and
Post. Yesterday morning he saw that
The Cali and Post offered thrifty,
hustling boys chance to make money
selling copies of the paper.
Frank has a little bank at home
with over a dollar in pennies and
nickels. He wanted to get more money
to buy his little sisters and brothers
some presents and after Christmas
save enough to buy a. bicycle.
So yesterday afternoon he went to
his little bank and took out five cents.
He then walked down to Sixteenth
and Mission streets and bought 10
copies of The Call and Post. 1t was
his first experience selling papers for
himself. He was surprised to find how
quickly he sold out. He returned to
the agent and got 10 copies more.
After two hours selling he had %
cents.
Frank took his % cents home. re-
placed the five cents he had borrowed
from his bank, held out five cents for
today's business, and banked 10 cents.
Il was not used to selling papers
at first, but soon got the hang of it, /"
said Frank. Tomorrow 1 expect to
make more than 1 did today. 1t is
the easiest thing 1 ever did to make
money and am going TO save up until
I get enough to buy a bicycle. But
I want to buy some Christmas pres
ents for my brothers and sisters first"
II was with reluctance that the lad
left his post long enough to have his
picture taken, so interested was he in
his new experience.
The same opportunity is open to any
live, wideawake boy who wants to
earn money for himself.
