SCHMIDT NOT CRAZY.
That is Verdict of Three Physicians
Who Examined New York
Prisoner.

New York, September 23.-Hans
Schmidt, the erstwhile priest and
confessed slayer of Anna Aumuller,
was visited in the Tombs today by
three physicians. One was Dr.. Mich
ael Erlwein, a member of St. Joseph's S
church, of which the prisoner was as
sistant rector. The others were DR..
John H. Brantn and DR.. Charles w.
F. Horn. All expressed the opinion
that Schmidt is not insane but is
shamming insanity
DR.. ErIwein said: 81 saw Father
Schmidt frequently in his state OF
holiness. wanted to see him in his
criminal state I found him sitting on
the edge of his cot in his cell.
"'You're in fine fix, said when
he recognized me.
"sI know it. said Father Schmidt,
"'Are you sorry I asked.
"No' was the reply. I'm not sorry,
for that is a matter between myself
and God. Only God knows what ] did.
I want to die as quickly as possible -"
The district attorneys office an
nounced this afternoon that DR..
Charles F. Macdonald and DR.. Will
liam Mabon had been selected as the
aliensts to examine Schmidt. The
examination probably will be made
tomorrow. The inquest into the death
of the Aumuller girl will be postpon-
ed until after the alienists have made
a preliminary report.
Schmidt's aged father has decided to
come to New York from mis- home in
Aschaffenburg, Germany, according to
dispatch received here from the
German town last night. The parents
of Hans Schmidt still hope to find
that the accused priest is not their
son.

REVENUE CUTTER SEES DANGER.
The Bear Narrowly Escapes De-
structiOn When Menaced by Ice
bergs in Alaskan Seas.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The revenue
cutter Bear, moored to a menacins
iceerg and completely wedged in by
heavy foes of Artic ice, drifting in
swirling current towards the North
pole, narrowly escaped destruction
on ner annual cruise from Nome to
Point Arrow, Alaska, Americas most
northerly settlement in the Frigid
zone In a report to Secretary Nc
Adoo made public today, Capt. J. c.
0ollinger commanding the Bear, re-
counts narrowing experiences of his
vessel, unmanageable in the vice-like
grip of the ice pack and dependent
on favorable winds to reach point of
safety. In the grasp of the ice the ship
drifted helplessly with the current
for a night and a day.
"No apparent damage was done to
the vessel" reported Capt. Ballinger,
E'but her situation for a short time
seemed extremely critical, She finally
drifted broadside through between
two heavily grounded icebergs with
but a few feet to spare at either end
and was worked around into clear
water and anchored"
This was the Bears annual cruise
on a mission of justice and mercy
enforcing the law and Furnishing Of
tenders through the United States
commissioner and marshal aboard
and dispensing medical aid and as
sistance to the sick and needy.

A WARRANT FOR REv. NETTLEs,
Minister Wants Matter in Shape for
Future Reference, He Says.

. Spartanburg, May 21.-Rev. Jas.

before Magistrate CAN'T for the ar
rest of Rev. S. A. Nettles, of Green
Vile, editor of the Southern Chris
tian Advocate, on charge of as

cial transaction, in the course of

Chicks left cheek badly discolored.
Magistrate CAN'T said he did not
deem it advisable to send a consta-

as he felt confident the editor would
come to Spartanburg and give bond
for hearing as soon as he was no.
titled OF the issuance of the warrant.
Mr.. Chick said to-day that his
principal purpose in instituting the
legal proceedings was to vindicate
his own conduct, in anticipation of
an airing of the matter at the next
meeting Of the South Carolina Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, Of which both he and
Mr.. Nettles are members.
After he had been sent reeling by
Mr. Nettles' blow, Mr.. Chick, it is
said, recovered himself and picked
up his glasses and then advanced to-
wards Mr.. Nettles with these words

cruel, savage blow the same hand
which administered the bread and
wine OF the communion? Do you
call this the ministry"

no answer, but strobe away.

CHAIR CANNOT sUrPLANT ROPE
Fourth Appeal iii Bethune Case Goes
10 United States Supreme Court.

Columbia, May 22,--Chief Justice
Gary of the Supreme Court yesterday
granted stay of remittur in the
case of the State against William Be-
thune, the negro who has been sem
fenced to death three times for mur-
der. The sentence Is held up that
his attorney might appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Bethune was tried in Clarendon
county for murder on June 12, 1909,
and was convicted without recon-
mendation to the mercy Of the court,
and on the same day he was SEN
fenced to be hanged The murder
was alleged to have been committed
on February 21, 1909. From this
Judgment Bethune appealed to the
Suprme Court, and the decision of
the Circuit Court was affirmed, with
leave to plead the cause of his sanity
when called upon to show cause why
he should not be re-sentenced. This
plea was made and tried by jury.
Bethune being found sane, the case
was again appealed. This judgment
was affirmed and he was again SEN
fenced to be hanged, execution OF
his sentence having been stayed by
Judge Shipp to permit Bethune to
move for new trial upon after-dis-
covered evidence. Such motion
was made before Judge Copes, and,
being over-ruled, Bethune was again
re-sentenced to be hanged. From
this Judgment he appealed and this
judgment was affirmed. On January
21, this year, Bethune was again
called upon to show cause, if any he
had, why sentence of death should
not be pronounced against him.
In the brief presented to the SUI
preme Court the attorneys of Be-
thune presented the following as
among the causes why he should not
be sentenced for the fourth time:
THAT when the crime with which
he Is charged is alleged to have been
committed, and of which he has been
convicted, the penalty for murder
without recommendation Of mercy
at taat time was death by hanging,
anNIha since the commission of the
alleged offense, and since his trial
Iandi conviction, the punishment for
|mLIder upon conviction without rec
ommendation is death by electrocu-
ton, as is provided by the act of the
General Assembly of 1912"
The Supreme Court refused to
agree with the reasoning, and few
days ago sustained the Judgment of
tho Circuit Court.

securing the gold, they removed it
and the two women to place of Sc
curity. They buried one-fourth of
1T in an iron pot at the foot OF Kings
Mountain. Then they moved around
the mountain to where they could
throw death and destruction into the
ranks Of the enemy from a place of
security, until Morgan, together
with Pickens, slew Ferguson and
captured his men. Then Horseshoe
and Kieessa returned to the retreat
where they had left the women.
And after resting there till next
morning they were preparing to re-
turn home, when they heard q COM
motion in cane brake, and upon in
vestigation found 1t to be wagon
with four horses hitched to it and
loaded with clothing and provisions
and driven by single British sol
der. So they relieved him OF all
and gave him a parole and told him
to tell Tarleton what they had done.
They started home and drove tn-
til they came to Saluda River, where
they camped, and in the morning
Horseshoe, wishing to go by and see
his uncle, asked Kieessa to go on
and wait for him at point where
there was ledge of rock in the
fork of the branches. At this point
Kieessa halted and .ground-hogged
hole Tx feet at an angle and ram
med two-thirds of the gold down in
1t, and when Horseshoe had joined
them they moved on home, taking
two of the horses and a pack of
clothing behind each OF them. They
then joined the Swamp Fox" who
was stationed on the Little Pee-Dee.

Georgia Man Victim of Terrible
Accident at Saw Mill.

Elberton, Ca, May 21.-Charlie
McCranie, young white maj, had a
piece Of timber driven through his
stomach Friday at Phillips Mill,
west OF Adei, Ga, and is yet alive
and conscious. The doctors are non
plusseu, but hope for his recovery.
They ay it is the most remarkable
case they ever encountered. .
The young man was working near
the carriage, and in some way the
saw struck 2x8 sixteen-feet-long
and hurled 1t at the young man. The
end which struck McCranie had a
sharp, beveled point. The piece of
timber went entirely through his
stomach and the sharpened end
stuck in the ground. He was
Strengthened up, saw was hurriedly
procured and each end of the piece
of timber was sawed OF. The piece
stayed in his body two hours, while
waiting for a doctor to arrive. He
begged to have the piece pulled out,
but the skin crimped under and
made it hard to get it out. He was
finally made to understand that it
would be safer to wait for the doc
tor to get it out. When the doctors
finally arrived, the piece of timber
was removed and he was carried to
his fathers home in Adel. All the
doctors available were summoned,
and they performed very careful
operation. The intestines were sew
gether. The piece Of timber barely
missed the kidneys.

TRAIN is SWEPT FROM TRACK.
PIunges 500 Feet Down Mountain
side--ProbabIy Six Killed.

Hinton, w. Va, May 21.-Six
persons are believed to have been
killed and a number injured to-
night, when Chesapeake and Ohio
train was swept down steep noun
tain side by landslide. The train,
composed OF an engine, three freight
cars and a caboose, the latter carry
ing passengers, had been stopped
between Sewell and Landisburg so
that debris deposited by cloud
burst early In the day might be
cleared away. While this work was
in progress another slide occurred
and the train was thrown from the
tracks down three hundred feet of
the mountain side.
Among the dead are James Wal
ker, of Hinton, travelling sales
man, and Mrs. Amick, of Landis-
burg. A young girl is known to
have been killed. Three other pas
sengers, all men, known to have
been aboard the caboose, have not
been seen since the accident, and are
believed to be dead under the wreck
age.
The train left Sewell at 6 O'Clock
and encountered number of small
landslides along the right Of way.
Several times it was necessary to
clear away debris before proceeding.
The slide that engulfed the train
and sent it rolling down the noun
tain side in a tumbling mass Of
rock, earth, steel and timber, came
without warning. While the crew
was working to clear the track there
was terrific roar, and before any
one could save themselves the crash
came.

Foods That Bind
Little Children
START THEM OFF RIGHT WITH A
GOOD LAXATIVE AND THEN
WATCH THEIR DIET.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give 1t in
dfgetsion, and urge it to take more
of what is quickly digested,
If the child shows tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately
be given mild laxative to help the
bowels, BY this is not meant a
physic or purgative, for these should
never be given to children, nor any
thing like salts pills, etc. What the
child requires is simply small dose
of the gen'tlest of medicines, such
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
in the opinion Of thousands OF watch
full mothers is the ideal remedy for
any child shown; a tendency to con-
stipation. So many things can hap
pen to constipated child that care
Is necessary. Colds, piles, head
aches, sleeplessness, and many other
annoyances that children should not
have can usually be traced to consti-
patton.
Many Of Americas foremost fami-
lies are never without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when
some member Of the family may
need it, and all can use it. Thou
sands endorse it, among them Mrs.

Hog Cholera and It's Control.

(This is the third Of series of
short press bulletins on hog cholera.
Preceding articles described the
symptoms Of the disease and the le-
sions found in cholera carcasses.)
The following are a few of the
most common ways by which the
disease is spread:
l. By failure to properly dispose
Of the carcasses Of dead hogs. Buz-
yards, dogs and other animals feed
upon these carcasses and carry in
fection to other premises. All car
cass \ should be burned or buried
imme lately. (This is now requierd
by State law, and buzzards should
be destroyed in communities where
they are not protected by law. In
communities where these scaven-
gers are thus protected, the law
should be repealed and the birds de-
stroyed.
2. By persons walking through
yards or fields where sick hogs are
kept and carrying the infection on
their shoes and clothing to other
premises where healthy hogs are
confined. 1t should be remembered
that discharges from a hog infected
with cholera are very infectious and
owners should not go, or allow any
of their help to go, on premises
where there are sick hogs. Neither

should they allow neighbors to go
among their hogs when cholera eX-
. lists in a community. Healthy hogs
should be cared for by persons who
have not been where the disease ex-
lists and no one else should be al
lowed near the healthy drove.
8. BY streams receiving drainage
from infected premises. If streams
running through hog lots are drain
ing infected premises, the hogs
should be Immediately moved to
other premises.
4. BY buying hogs from premises
where the disease exists or from
public stock yards. Hog cars and
stock yards must always be consid-
cred dangerous.
5. BY allowing neighbors the ser
vice of your stock hogs. This is a
dangerous practice.
6. BY failure to isolate newly
purchased hogs until their freedom
from disease has been ascertained.
New hogs should be isolated for a
month. If they have cholera or
have been exposed, the disease will
develop in this time.
CThe next article will be on sani-
tary measures which should be ad-
opted to control this disease'.)

plead guilty to the charge of simple
assault lodged against him by Rev.
J. B. Chick, as the aftermath of a
difficulty between the men at Wof-
ford College on Monday. This ac-
tion on the part of Mr.. Nettles
means that the case will be terni-
mated with a small fine in the mag
lstrate's court. A statement will be
secured from Mr.. Chick, which will
be all the testimony taken.
Charges against Rev. Nettles, for
his alleged attack upon Rev. Chick,
will not be preferred at the Spartan

opens it's session at Woodruff to-
night. Rev. A. J. Cauthen, presid-
ing elder Of Spartanburg District,
says that the matter Is out OF his ju-
risdiction, and til 1T the case, if han
died. will have to be done by Pre-
siding elder Kilgo, Of the Green

Rumors have been current on the
streets that Mr.. Nettles would have
to answer for his breach of conduct
before the Woodruff Conference, and
