OFFICER KILLS FLEEING LAD.
Merely shooting in Air" to Frighten
Boy, He Declares.

Columbus, Ca, August 29.-Luthe1
Hawkins, lad about Is years old
was shot and killed this afternoon by
Bailiff 1. Willis, in North Highlands
as he was fleeing from the officer. The
officer is held at police headquarters
charged with murder. Il wouldn't
have done this for million dollars, y
he said tonight.
Hawkins came here day or two
ago from Atlanta to seek employment
in a cotton mill. When settling his
board bill this afternoon he lacked
fifty cents of the required amount
and the bailiff was sent for. Hawkins
ran out of the yard and the officer
gave pursuit and fired at the lad with
a pistol, the bullet passing through
his head. He died in less than a half
hour without regaining conscious
ness. The bailiff declares he was
merely shooting in the air" tc
frighten the lad.

WARRANT FOR POLICEMAN.
Spartanburg Officer Charged with Ill
Treating Boy.

Spartanburg, August 2S.-On COM
plant of J. T. Suttles, a mill work
er, Magistrate A. H. Kirby issued a
warrant for the arrest of M. S. Turn
er, a city policeman, on charge of
oppression. Suttles alleges that while
his Is year-old son was lying in bed
Sunday, suffering from the effects of
whiskey, Turner and man named
Tom Nix came into the house and ar
rested him. They dragged the boy,
it is charged, to the police station,
where physicians found he was in
such a serious condition that they in
sisted he should be taken back home.
Magistrate Kirby will investigate the
case Saturday.

Cochran Will Resign

Anderson, Sept, Announce
ment was made at the Office of Dis
trict Attorney Ernest F. Cochran to-
day that Mr.. Cochran will tender his
resignation to President Wilson with
in the next two or three days to be-
come effective on a day named by the
President. Mr. Cochran, Republi-
can, has served as district attorney
for South Carolina with marked abil-
ity for eight years. For several
years preceding his appointment as
district attorney he served as the at
torney's assistant under President
Harrison. His term does not expire
until February 10, 1914.
Mr.. Cochran is at Watkins Glen, n.
Y, for his health, but the announce
ment from his office here today de-
clared that Mr. Cochran would take
this step because conditions had
arisen which had caused the present
administration to think it desirable
to make some changes in the Federal
offices in South Carolina and he does
not desire to stand in the way of the
plans of the administration.

PERFORMS IMPOSSIBLE" FEAT
Life-saving Captain Swims from Bat
terry to Sandy Hook.

New York, Aug, 2S.-After many
unsuccessful attempts by long dis
tance swimmers for years past to
swim the 22 miles from the battery
to Sandy Hook, Capt. Alfred Brown,
of the Flushing Bay Life Saving sta
ton corps, accomplished the feat to-
day. Diving off the battery wall at
SIS this morning, he landed at the
Sandy Hook proving grounds at 6.35
D. m, having been in the water 13
hours and IL minutes.
Capt. Brown was accompanied by
four men in launch and motor boat.
He had to be assisted up the stoop-
ing beach when he landed, but after
walking about a short time he lin
bered up and declared he felt no bad
effects from his long immersion.
During his swim he ate three small
sandwiches and drank a small quanti-
ty of tea. Part of the swim was
against a strong flood tide and a
fresh southerly wind.
Many swimming authorities have
declared the feat never could be ac-
complished because of tidal condi-
tions Numerous swimmers have
reached a point within few hundred
yards of the beach and had to give
up, owing to the power of the inrush-
ing tide which met them.

A Clock That Talks.

"Six-thirty, six-thirty, six-thirty;
time to get up; get up, can't you;
get up, you miserable lazybone; get
up before 1 souse you with wet
washrag, get up, get, GET UP! -
That's the way the new patent
French Photographic alarm clock
routs you out in the morning. No
more pestiferous ding-a-linging of a
measly little tin alarm clock, but a
call in human voice, in plain words,
more or less polite, does the business.
Of course even this new device
does not make you get up; all it can
do is to tell you the time and apply
a few appropriate remarks to you,
and then if you prefer to stick to
your couch and waste the beautiful
hours of the morning in the slothful
vice of lying abed, you may do So.
The clock will do it's part, but not
yours. So don't buy one with the
idea that it will do impossibilities.
monographs alarm clocks are not
a new thing. 1t is simple enough
matter to apply the talking machine
principle to clock.
The mechanism is ingenious but
simple. 1t provides for the calling OF
the time every quarter hour day and
night. If you wake up in the night
and are curious to know what time 1T
is, all you have to do is to press a
button by your bedside and the clock
will promptly tell you the nearest
quarter-hour-for example, "two-flf-
teen"
The photographic record is made
in the form of an endless belt or
band. The tiny grooves which cause
the voice vibrations run parallel,
lengthwise round the belt, and there
are As of these grooves side by side
namely one for each quarter hour of
the y hours. A reproducing neeole
follows the grooves, just as in an or
dinary talking machine.
AS each groove runs clear around
the band, the clock will continue to
call the time, or anything else that is
recorded, until Is minutes have
elapsed or until you shut it up by
touching button. The clock talks at
present 35 languages and is learning
more-all that is necessary to make
it talk another lingo being to substi-
tute the corresponding belt. When a
belt is worn out a new one can be
inserted or if you get tired being
called in your own language you can
choose a variety of others. All that
is needed to make the scheme perfect
would be an attachment which after
calling you a reasonable number of
times would either let the bed down
and dump you out or which would
reach out and seize you bodily and
dress you.

The Day of Hypocrites.

The following extracts are taken
from a report of the Anderson Mail
of w. S. Lees address before the
State Bankers association at Toxa-
way:
Asking and answering the ques-
ton, Are We all hypocrites?' W. S.
Lee, of Charlotte, N. c., vice presi-
dent and chief engineer of the South
ern Power company, in his address
before the South Carolina Bankers
association recently delved into his
subject, which he considered in many
ways an unpleasant one. The speak
er felt that the disagreeable, as we'll
as the agreeable, topics must be
broached; for there are certain acts
transpiring in our country to-day that
it would be we'll for us to stop and
consider.
Mr.. Lee spoke of the young men
who go out from college to the pro-
fessions: The doctor who becomes
a. hypocrite in the sick room when he
is called to minister to patient who
is a hypocrite; the lawyer who neg
lects to pitch his profession on high
ground, but follows the easiest way
too often he is seen pursuing courses
which, while within the law, are not
within the range of good citizenship;
in arguments he frequently appeals
not to the highest side of mans ma
ture, but to his meanest passions and
basest senses. The lawyer in politics
was discussed in that these men Oft
times seek to insure the passage of
laws that will make easy the winning
of big verdicts.
'Is there any greater hypocrite
than many of our so-called politi-
cians?" asked the speaker. A pre-
tense that they are aiding the people
is ever to the front, when really self
ishness controls their every action.
This type of politics has gone so far
that even in the highest legislative
bodies disgraceful investigations are
necessary to-day.

Austria Wars on Snakes.

Austria's new territory is undesir-
ably rich in snakes, mostly of the
poisonous variety, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, and the government is TAX
ing vigorous measures to extermin-
ate them.
In the ten years from 1895 to 1905
the average yearly death roll from
snake bites in Boznia and Herzegovi-
ma was thirteen persons, and 1888
head of cattle, horses and domestic
animals. Besides this, hundreds of
persons were bitten by snakes, but
recovered.
Since 1906 the provincial authori-
ties have given money premiums for
the killing of snakes. In that year
30,O56 dead snakes were brought in,
OF which 25,43S were poisonous. Next
year, when the official reward became
more generally known, these figures
increased enormously, no fewer than
2S0,71S snakes being killed, includ-
ing 271,6S5 poisonous.
Last years figures were very near
ly the same, and it will be some years
before the work of determination
can be anything like completed. But
at the same time the number of per-
sons reported bitten by poisonous
snakes seems to be steadily decreas-
ing-2O6 in 1907 and 140 last year.

Old Trouble Alleged.

Allendale, August 31.-J. B. Har-
ter, chief of police of Allendale, ac-
cording to news received here, was
shot and killed to-day about 3 p. m.
by A. L. Walker, at Lena, station
on the Southern Railway, in Hamp-
ton County, where he had gone to
take into custody a negro prisoner.
While Harter was waiting at the de-
pot to take the train home, Walker,
who is the section foreman at that
place, is reported to have approached
without warning and shot Harter,
killing him instantly.
1t is said that Walker had an old
grudge against Harter and had made
threats against his life. 1t seems
that about a year and half ago
Harter arrested and disarmed Walker
on the streets of Allendale, but
whether or not this incident had any
bearing on the tragedy to-day is not
known.
Mrs. Harter was in Charleston to-
day when her husband was killed.
She returned to Allendale tonight.
Chief Harter was an efficient and
faithful officer and highly respected
citizen, prominent Mason and
knight of Pythias His sudden and
tragic death is a great shock to the
community. 1t is recalled that he
made a brave stand against the ne
gro, Henry Austin, when Magistrate
Fred Edenfeld was shot down by the
latter from ambush on May l, last.
He leaves a wife and six children.
1t is reported that Walker is un-
der arrest and is slightly wounded.

CHIEF OF POLICE KILLED.
TRAGEDY IN HAMPTON COUNTY;
J.F. WALKER ACCUSED.
J.B. Harter Receives Bullet in Heart
While Standing on Depot Plat
form at Lena, S. O.

Hamptcc, Aug. 31.-Chief of Po-
lice J. B. Harter, of Allendale, was
shot through the heart and instantly
killed on the depot platform at Lena,
near this place, at about $50 o'clock
this afternoon. Harter was waiting
to board a train to return to Allen
dale when shot.
J. F. Walker, section foreman for
the Southern Railway at Lena, is
charged with the shooting and was
arrested at about o'clock by Magis-
trate E. A. Zeigler, of Estill, and
turned over to Sheriff J. H. Lightsey,
who will bring Walker to the Hamp-
ton County jail tonight.
Walker, it is said, will not deny
having been one of the principals in
the shooting, refusing to make any
statement regarding the affair by ad-
vice of his attorney.
Details of the shooting are meagre
and have been very hard to obtain.
So far as is known there were no
eye-witnesses to the shooting, except
ing the man who did it and his vic
tim.
Had Bought Ticket.
The purpose of Chief Harter's visit
to Lena has not been learned. 1t is
known, however, that he had pur-
chased his return ticket and was
waiting on the station platform for
his train when he was shot. The sta
ton agent at Lena stated that he
was on the inside of the building
when the affair took place, and has
no knowledge of it.
The weapon used in the shooting
was a SO calibre pistol. A post NOR
tenn over Harter's body was held by
DR.. D. E. Wyman, it being found
that the bullet had entered the breast
and taken effect in the heart, causing
almost instant death. The inquest
will be held at IL o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Chief of Police Herter was a very
popular man in his community, and
was a faithful and efficient officer.
He was prominently connected with
the chase, which resulted in the cap
ture of the desperate Austin a few
months ago. Harter was formerly a
resident of Hampton County, having
been a policeman at Brunson several
years ago. He was man of family
and is survived by a widow and six
children. He was about forty years
old.
Walker Declines to Talk.
Walker, who is charged with the
shooting, is a native of Hampton
County. He is a married man and
also about forty years of age. Walker
engaged counsel soon after his arrest
and declined to make any public
statement, either denying or admit
ting his guilt.
1t seems that no one has been found
here who can say anything of trouble
between Harter and Walker. Because
of the meagerness of details sur
rounding the shooting, nothing has
been learned as yet to warrant as
signing motive for the shooting to
Walker or anyone else.
An inquest will be held tomorrow
morning at II o'clock, but there is
some doubt that Walker will be taken
to Lena to attend, the indication to-
night being that he will remain in
Hampton County Jail. Harter's body
was still on the platform of the little
depot at 6 o'clock this afternoon.
