CRIES KILL ME QUICK.
Garrett Pays Death Penalty for Foul
Deed.

For the murder on May Is OF
Aaron Campbell, his son-in-law, and
J. H. Campbell, the father of Aaron,
in Lee county, NJ. L. Garrett, who
had served terms on the chain gang
In his county and in the State penl-
tentiary, was electrocuted at the
State prison in the presence OF some
thirty-fve witnesses. In the CROWD
were several citizens of the neighbor-
hood where the crimes were commit
ted. A brother of Aaron Campbell
was present to witness the Legal
atonement for the deed promoted by
Jealous rage which resulted in death
to his brother and father.
Garrett, who, during the period OF
his confinement at the penitentiary'
has apparently faced death with the
greatest fear Monday morning walk
ed into the death chamber and sat IN
the chair with splendid composure'
though it was evident in the low
tones that he used that he felt deep
" the awful seriousness Of the mo-
ment, His last request was: Kill
me quick and don't hurt me any more
than you can help"
Garrett's deed was promoted by q
fierce jealousy. Hatred for the man
who married his daughter caused him
to 90 to her home and the double
killing resulted. Garrett then forced
his daughter to the woods nearby
where he stayed in hiding for sew
eral days. Bloodhounds from the
penitentiary trailed the man and nm
ally led to his place of capture with
out bloodshed.

BRYAN SHOULD QUIT.
TiIlman Thinks he Should Leave the
Lecture Platform.

A special to the New York Herald
says: Senator Tillman, who con-

during vacations of Congress, said he
never had neglected his official duties
to I'LL lecture engagements. He re-
GREETED Mr.. Bryan's devotion to the
platform.
"It is a perfectly legitimate way
to make money" he said, ''but ! re-
gret to hear Of Mr.. Bryan doing It.
Just at this time, when there Is 80
much important work before his de-
partment, / would prefer to have him
stay in Washington. He could better
afford to impoverish himself than to
appear to neglect his official duties.
"The impression prevails-though
don't know how well founded 1t Is
that Mr.. Bran has made great
deal Of money since 1895. He has
published two or three books. The

ton, and has lectured extensively.

him do anything that will belittle him
in the eyes Of the people as this GER
tainly will do. While his speaking
tours will serve a good purpose In
that he always breaches true democ-
racy, and patriotism and Christian
living, he can never again appear as
a knight-errant Of democracy"

BAGGrNG AND TIE PROBE.
Smith Urges Inquiry to Learn Cause
of Price Raise.

Senator E. D. Smith Tuesday intro
duced a resolution directing the Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor to in
vestigate the recent advance Of the
price of bagging used IN baling cot
ton. as we'll as the advance In the
price of ties used to band or bale cot
ton, and to report to the Senate al
the earliest possible time the cause
of such advances. Because Of the
urgency of the matter, Senator Smith
asked immediate consideration Of his
resolution.
Senator Williams, Of Mississippi
objected on the ground that cotton
hagging is put on the free list in the
pending tariff bill. TO this the South
Carolinian rejoined that If the gov
ernment waited for the tariff bill to
pass its benefits would come too late
to apply to the present cotton sea-
son, whereas an immediate inVestlga'
ton might bring results In time to
help in the marketing Of the present
crop and save the farmers OF South
Carolina s16O,O0O or $4,000 and
those of Georgia 100000.

FORESTS ARE VALUABLE
WORLD BUYS HUNDRED MILLION
FROM Us YEARLY.
Immense Value of Our Foreign Trade
in Tree Products Shown by De-
mand for Pine and Oak Woods.

More than s1OO,OOO,o00 worth OF
the products of the forests of the Uni
ted States was sent out of the coun-
try in the fiscal year just ended,
against less than half that sum in
1908, a decade ago, according to Of
fetal figures of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
The total value of wood and man
ufactures thereof exported during
the fiscal year 1913 amounted to ap-
proximately s120,00O,00O and the
bulk Of this was in crude or semi
manufactured condition. Hewn and
sawed timber approximated s11,000,-
900 for the year; boards, deals and
planks, over s60,OOO,0OO and shocks
and slaves over s12,000,000; while
the higher grades of manufactures,
such as doors, sash, blinds, trim
mings, woodenware' and furniture
formed little more than 10 per cent.
Of the total exports of wood and
manufactures thereof. These figures
Of forest products exported do not in
clude naval stores (tar, turpentine
and rosin)", of which the exports
amount to over 25,000,000 annual
ly.
Pine and oak are the principal
classes Of timber being sent out of
the country. Of the approximately
$780, 100000 worth Of wood and
manufactures thereof, exported in the
year just ended, S37,000,000 worth
was pine timber and lumber, and ap-
proximately s15,o0o,oOO worth Of
oak. Of that going out in the come
completely manufactured form, fur
niture amounted to approximately
s7,OOo,OOO.
c The whole world seems to be de-
manding the products of the Ameri-
can forests. The oak lumber export
ed in 1912, for which full details are
available, was distributed to dozen
countries in Europe; about twenty
countries in North and South Ameri-
ca, and in smaller quantities to Asia,
Oceania and Africa. The other
classes Of lumber exported went to
more than seventy-fTe countries and
colonies, including score of coun-
tries in North America, practically
every country in South America; a
dozen countries in Asia; dozen is
lands in Oceania, and various coun-

MYSTERIOUS and FIENDISH VISIT
MADE TO ATLANTA HONE
YOUNG WOMAN DRAINED
awakening, One Of the Family Smells
ChIoroforn,, and Investigates, Find.
ing the Entire House Full Of Dan.
gerous Fumes, Under Which They
Were All Unconscious.
We're All Unconscious.

Five members of the family Of Mrs.
4. D. Duncan, of Atlanta, were chlo-
reformed as they slept, and sixth, a
young woman, was knocked uncon-
scious by a blow from a blunt instru-
ment, some time after midnight We'd
nesday morning.
Tracks were found about the resi-
dence, and the police, who were call
ed there before six o'clock in the
morning, can find no motive for what
they believe was visit to the resi-
dence by an unknown man or men.
Mrs. Duncan, however, IS confident
the visitors came to the house.
Miss Hilderbrand was the first OF
the family to awake, and her first
conscious thought, according to re-
ports, were that her hair was matted
with blood and that blood was caked
on her face. Then she noticed the
odor Of chloroform in the room, and
with some difficulty aroused her sis
ter.
Going through the house the two
young women found the odor of chic
roform in every room, and the occu-
pants when aroused with difficulty,
seemed in. a stupor. Besides Mrs.
Duncan and her two daughters, the
other victims Of the chloroform fend
were Earl Hilderbrand, aged nine
teen years, and Ernest Hilderbrand,
ager eighteen years.
The two young r1en were aroused
with more difficulty than were the
ladies and it is believed that an un-
usual amount Of the drug was held
over their faces as they were sleep
ing.
While Miss Pearl Hilderbrand had
been struck two severe blows over
the head with a blunt instrument, her
Injuries are not serious. and Mrs.
Duncan supposes her daughter STIR
red as the chloroform was being ad-
ministered and that the marauder,
fearing discovery, knocked her un-
conscious.
Although she suffered from an in
tense headache, when she was awak-
ened, Mrs. Deal declares that she
does not remember any unusual oc-
currence during the evening, the pre-
sumption being that she was the first
to be chloroformed.
While Mrs. Duncan asserts that
she is confident that the chloroform-
ers were bent on robbery, an inves-
tigation developed that nothing In
the house has been disturbed and
nothing is missing.
Evidently the chloroform fends
entered the house by a window OF the
room occupied by Miss Hilderbrand
and Mrs. Deal. The tracks led all
Of the way around the house and to
the window, which the young ladies
had left open. 1t was the only WIN
dow open on the ground floor, and
there was no evidence Of any attempt
TO break into a window or door.

BLEASE REPLIES TO STATEMENT
OF SENIOR SENATOR
TALKS AGAINST BRYAN
Governor Says His Hendersonville
Statement Was Misquoted - Said
Nothing About Bryan Drawing Two
Salaries-Does Not Refer to Mill
tia and Registration Criticism.

Governor Blease declared it as his
opinion that Senator Tillman broke
down his health by his lecturine
tours and "ruined his usefulness to
the people Of South Carolina by run
ming round over the country deliver
ing lectures and overworking him
SELF, in a statement Thursday, re-
plying to Senator Tillman's interview
in the morning papers. He repeated
his criticism of Secretary of State
Bryan for lecturing while holding his
present Office.
Says the Governors dictated state
ment: eyes, have noticed Senator
Tillman's interview.
"The first part Of it is brought
about by a statement published in the
newspapers which is absolutely un-
true, and if the Senator had read The
News and Courier, Mr.. Caldwell's re-
port, he would have seen the differ
ence. I did not state, as quoted by
Senator Tillman, and as published in
| The Columbia Record: Senator TILL
man ruined himself with the people
of South Carolina in just the same
manner, when he went about lectur-
ing instead Of remaining in Wash
ington and attending to the business
in the Senate What I said, and now
repeat, was that Senator Tillman
broke his health down and ruined his
usefulness to the people of South
Carolina by running around over the
country delivering lectures and over
working himself. I repeat that now.
"I was also misquoted in the paper
as to what I lid about Secretary Of
State Bryan. I said nothing about
him drawing two salaries, because
anybody with good sense knows that
matter of holding public Office
and az oearing on the platform are
not in conflict with each other, so far
as the salary is concerned; but what I
said was that 7 did not think that the
Secretary of State of this great nation
should be going around Chautauqua
circuit under the management OF
some little fellow like circus rider,
under ring-master, and still think
that it is beneath the dignity Of the
position which Mr. Bryan holds for
him to so act. So far as money is
concerned, that, in my opinion, is not
to be taken into consideration in the
matter at all. 1t is question OF dig
nifty on his part.
Gas for the remaining part Of
Senator Tillman's interview, care
to have nothing to say.
