ACCUSED OF KILLING FATHER.
HARRY COLEMAN, IN JAIL AT
UNION, DENIES CHARGE.
Arrest of Young Man Result of Ef-
fort of Officers. Aided by Blood
hounds. to Capture Assassin of
Robert Coleman, Aged and Well
to-DO Citizen OF Upper Union COun-
ty.

Union, Feb. Robert Coleman
% years of age, an excellent citizen
OF this county living near Jonesville,
was found murdered between and
o'clock last evening, having been
shot in the left face and neck as he
sat by his fireside alone reading a
newspaper. His son, Harry Coleman
about years Of age, is in jail charg-
ed with being the murderer, the mo-
tive ascribed being the desire to come
into his inheritance at once.
The dead man was quite well-to-d do,
and, except for a son who has not
been heard Of in number Of years,
Harry is his only child or heir.
There was a rain yesterday and
when Sheriff FAINT early this morning
examined the premises he found that
the assassin had stood behind a clump
Of evergreens close to the house and
fired a big charge of slugs and bull
lets into the old mans head; the trail
led to and from this point to a black
smith shop.
Robert Coleman's gun had been in
this shop. During the night Harry
Coleman got this gun, it is said, and
took 1t to the house Of a neighbor,
and when examined this morning one
barrel was wet and showed every
sign OF having been recently fired.
The tracks in the soft mud fitted
the shoes Of Harry Coleman, it is
said, exactly. Dogs were sent to the
scene from Columbia this morning.
They took up the trail and went over
1t. Harry Coleman was seen to climb
"a tree some distance away, and the
dogs put on his trail promptly treed
him, 1t is said. He was then taken
into custody.

FUTURE PRESIDENTS.
III Houses Action il Favorable and
States Ratify Proposed Amend
ment Neither Wilson, Taft nor
Roosevelt will Again be Eligible to
Nations Highest Characterization
Passes by Margin of One Over Ncc-
essary TwO-Thirds.

Washington. Feb. IA constitu-
tional amendment which would re-
strict the president of the United
states to a single term of six years
and would bar Woodrow Wilson. Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William III. Taft
from again seeking election, was ap-
proved by the Senate today by the
narrow majority of one vote After a
three-day fight, in which the Progress
sives joined with many Republicans in
opposing the restricted Presidential
term, the Senate adopted the original
Works resolution by a vote of AZ to 23
The language which it is proposed
to insert in the Constitution In place
of the first paragraph Of article two
Is as follows:
The executive power shall be vest
ed in a President of the United States
or America. The term of President
shall be six years. and no person who
has held the Office by election, or dis
charged its powers or duties, or acted
as President under the legislation and
laws made in pursuance thereof, shall
be eligible to hold again the Office by
election. The President. together with
a Vice President chosen for the same
term, shall be elected as follows:'
The resolution proposing the consti-
tutional amendment goes to the House
for It's approval. If ratified by a two
thirds vote. 1t will be submitted to the
Legislatures OF the States and will be-
come effective when three sourths Of
the As States in the Union have Of
ficially approved it.
The adoption of the resolution came
at the close of a three-day fight in
which repeated attempts were made so
to change 1t that 1t would not affect
past Presidents or the President in
office when L may finally be ratified by
the States. All these efforts failed. I.
Two votes taken today again indi-
Gated that the Senate did not care TO
exempt any person from the operation
OF the single term provision. An
amendment by Senator Hitchcock that
would have exempted past Presidents
and made the new provision take eff
feet March 4. 1917, was voted down
AZ to 27. and an amendment by Sena-
tor Sutherland TO exempt the Presi-
dent in the Office when the constitu-
tional amendment may be ratified was
defeated, 3S to 20.

Columbia, Feb. 1.-The visit of
James Wilson, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, and the committee on agricul-
ture Of the National House of Repre-
sentatives, to the National Corn -
position was the feature of tod. ~.
served to attract another .ous
crowd The fact that it Satur
day. holiday, the public schools, also
increased the attendance, many
school teachers and children coming
from all parts of South Carolina.
The interest in agricultural dis
plays was increased by the arrival of
the Illinois exhibit, which was delay
ed in transit, and of which all trace
was completely lost for several days.
In simple and emphatic language,
talking as a farmer to farmers, Sec
retary Wilson made an address in the
afternoon, in which he preached the
doctrine that the salvation Of the
Southern farmer lay in the raising Of
hogs and cattle and the growing of
grasses and other forage crops.
Don't sell your corn; feed it to
stock he repeated again and again,
and asserted that by following his ad-
vice Southern farmers could bring
their soil to a high state of fertility
and could maintain it's fertility with a
minimum use Of commercial fertiliz-
ers.
Il realize" he said, that if the
South should turn to the raising of
live stock, it would mean a smaller de-
mand for the hogs and cattle of my
own State Of Iowa, but as a citizen of
the United States. Whatever will bene-
fit the agricultural interests Of one
section Of the country will benefit the
whole country"
After his address Secretary Wilson
was rendered a luncheon by the girls
Of Winthrop College. He said he did
not know when he had ever enjoyed a
meal so much. Shaking hands with
the girls he said they simply must pay
him a visit at Washington.
Besides Secretary Wilson, Harry P
Atwood, OF Chicago; John Lamb, Of
Virginia, chairman of the House COM
mittee on agriculture, and Senator E.
d. Smith, Of South Carolina, made ad-
dresses.

 A BlC SUCCESS

The people of Ketchikan show cd that there was a tender spot in the heart of nearly every one of them last night in the way they packed and damned the Dream theater to the doors. Many other bought tickets long after the house was crowded to it's fullest capacity to show their sympathy in the benefit. The show was good and the vocal numbers by Mrs. Burgun and MT. Williams were a big hit. Manager Purinton started the show ten minutes early ow ing to the house being packed before starting time and the only trouble with the show was the Dream was too small.

 Mrs. Ask does not claim to have been able to swim, but she says she was able to swim OF this occasion and she safely reached the beach which must have been fully a quarter of a mile away. With no means of making a fire, she had to spend Inc night in her wet clothes ou shore waiting for some help to come. The woman was shouting when the Lark came in view or her and was making frantic efforts to attract at- tention. She was taken on board and made comfortable. Her clothing bad to be exchan- god for some of the men's while her scant apparel was dried. She was weak from eX- Eaustion, but the captain and his companion did all they could to make her comfortable rntil Prince Rupert was re- ached.
 Capt. Dahl states that it is in- de1d wonderful t1.hat she should eyer have reached the shore a. live for the night was clear and .cuId and she had over a quarter of a mile at the least to swim.
