Of them could be found Thinking
that after nightfall Mack Minis would

Horns creek section, Mr.. Prince, one
o. the chain gang guards, accompan-
led by James Smith, whose horse
Mack stole about two weeks ago, went
soon after dark to watch for the ne
gro as he entered his fathers house.
About II o'clock he appeared upon
the scene and entered the house. Mr..
Prince and Mr.. Smith advanced and
called Mack TO come ou. ami sur
render. Instead Of surrendering the
negro slightly opened the door and
fired upon the men with a shotgun,
both loads taking effect in Mr.. Smith,
the first in the face and the second in
the thigh.
Mr.. Prince carried GLr. Smith at
once to his home nearby and sum-
moned a physician. Neither wound
will prove fatal, but it is feared that
ne will lose the sight of one eye. AS
soon as Mr.. Prince could leave Mr..
Smith he secured the assistance Of
several white men and returned to
arrest the negro A thorough search
was made Of the house, but he had
departed, carrying with him a shot
gun and repeating rife.
The sheriff was Immediately notified
and hurried to the scene and imme-
diately instituted a search. After the
dawn of day it was discovered that
Mack mad stolen a horse from a negro
in the community and a sadie from
another negro in order to make good
his escape. He was seen this MORN
ing about o'clock near Trenton, rid
ing in the direction of Aiken, having
in his possession rifle and shotgun.
He is a desperate negro and it is be-
lieved that he will not be taken alive.
There is considerable feeling in the
community where Mr.. Smith, the rep.
resentative farmer whom he shot, re-
sides, and there are whispers OF a
lynching if the regro is taken alive.
The officers of the law will leave no
stone unturned in their efforts to lo-
cate the negro and place him in jail.

Gan SPEND FUNDS on FARM.
Attorney Generals Office Gives Opin-
ion on Appropriation.

W. F. Caldwell in News and Courier.
Columbia, March 14.-The attorney
generals office has given an opinion
to the board of regents Of the State
Hospital for the Insane, as to farm
ing at State Park. The opinion fol-
lows
"The Hon. J. D. Bivens, Regent of
State Hospital for the Insane, Colum-
bia, S. C.-Dear Sir; | am in receipt
OF your request for advice as to wheth-
er the board of regents of the State
Hospital for the Insane can use for
farming purposes at State Park any
part of the amount appropriated by
the general assembly for the mainten-
ance of the State Hospital for the In
sane Of for other uses not specified in
the supply bill.
81 presume that the confusion arises
owing to the fact that a specific ap-
propriation for farming at State Park
was vetoed by the governor, and his
veto sustained by the house of rep
resentatives. This, however, to my
mind does not mean that none of the
funds provided for the maintenance Of
the institution can be used for farm
ing purposes at State Park, or any
other portion of the lands belonging to
the institution.
81 notice in the printed appropria-
ton bill for the year 1914 there is
provided for maintenance of the State
Hospital for the Insane $29O,OOO. This
amount may be expended by the board
OF regents for what the term main
tenance implies; that is, for whatever
is necessary for the proper support
and maintenance of the institution.
at seems to me that as practical
question farming of certain kinds and
the cultivation of certain crops, Vege-
tables, etc., is a necessary incident to
the maintenance of the institution,
and I am of the opinion that for such
purposes portion of this fund can be
so used Notwithstanding the fact that
there is no specific appropriation in
words for such purposes.
yours very truly,
erred. H. Dominick,
Assistant Attorney General

Sacrement0, Cal, March 12.-Sher-
IFS and district attorneys of four Cal
ircrnia counties reached an agree
ment today regarding the problem Of
the unemployed, and their edict was

900 or 100 men remaining of the

the two factions of the army, replied
that they could come to no decision

Speaking for the associated sheriffs
and district attorneys of Sacramento,
Yolo, Colaao and Contra Costa coun-

West Sacramento company, on whose
property the army is tenting, replied
hat he would deliver the communi-
cation as it has been given him. No
action was taken tonigh;.
1t is said the action decided on for
tomorrow is to take groups Of 20, 80
and 50 men to the railroad tracks and
put them into cars. Firemen, police

NOTED INVENTOR DEAD.
George Westinghouse Dies of Heart

New York, Marcn 12.-George
Westinghouse died here today. He
had been suffering from heart COM
plant for three months
Mr.. Westinghouse was 6S years old
and was perhaps bes: known as the.
Inventor of the airbrake which bears
his name and which revolutionized
railroading in this country. He was
born at Central Bridge, ~ Y, and
received his early education in the
common schools. He served in the
War Between the Sections. At mis-
death he was the president of nearly
80 corporations. wn T.
The airbrake which he invented is
used throughout the civilized world
and in almost every part of the globe
are great plants which he founded.
Mr.. Westinghouse became an in
ventor when Is years old, producing
rotary engine Four years later he
constructed a device for replacing
derailed steam cars. Then, when 21
years old, he sought the financial
backing of the late Commodore Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, for his now famous
oirhrake nerfected after three wears
of labor.
"Do you mean to tell me you can
stop a railroad train by wind?" de-
manded the commodore.
"Well, yes, inasmuch as air is wind,
4 suppose you are right" spoke the
youth
The Astute Commodore.
az have no time to waste on fools"
said the commodore, thus abruptly
terminating the interview, Westing-
house sought and found capital else
where, manufactured his invention,
and made high speed possible on rail-
roads, revolutionizing traffic systems.
Mr.. Westinghouse did not confne
mis- genius to railroads. For half a
century he continued to make other
contributions to electrical as we'll as
engineering advancement. His inven-
tions and improvements had to do with
railway signaling and power safety
devices and for economically convey
my natural gas over long distances
and using it for fuel; air springs for
motor vehicles of all kinds; and a
geared turbine system for the propul-
sion of ships, developed in collabora-
ton with the late Admiral George W.
Melville, U. S. ~, and John H. Mac
Alpine.
In return for his achievements the
highest honors Of technical societies
and institutions of Europe and Amer
lea were bestowed upon Mr. Westing-
houes. European sovereigns also con-
fprred distinguished orders. AS re-
Gently as last December he received
from the principal engineering society
