Bamberg Cotton Weighers.

Hon. H. C. Folk, Chairman, Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, Bamberg
County, Bamberg, S. c.
Dear Sir:-At the recent meeting
of the Executive Committee some
discussion was had as to when cot
ton weigher should 90 into office.
The attention of the Committee was
called to the Act of 1911, page So,
which is as follows:
BE it enacted by the General AS
sembly of the State of South Caro-
lima, that hereafter all public cotton
weighers in Bamberg County shall
be elected in the Democratic Prima-
ries for their respective districts.
as magistrates are now nominated y
BY the terms of this act the weigh
ers were to be elected in the Demo-
cratic Primaries as magistrates are
now nominated.
This was confusing and the ques-
ton as to when the party so nomi-
mated or elected would take place
was governed by another act.
The Act of 1913, page % provides:
There shall be nominated at the
regular primary election for Bam-
berg County, a cotton weigher for
each of the following towns, to wit:
Bamberg, Denmark, Ehrhardt and
Olar, whose terms of Office shall be
two years, beginning Tuesday after
the first Monday in October following
their nomination: Provided. that the
Board of County Commissioners for
said county shall appoint such per-
as are nominated for said positions:
Provided. further. the following vot-
ing precincts are hereby designated
for the voters for said weigherS:
Bamberg territory-Bamberg. Mid
way. Edisto, Hunters Chapel and
Clear Pond: Denmark territory
Denmark. Milhouse's Mill and Lees {:
Ehrhardt territory-Ehrhardt and
Kearse: Olar territory-Olar. Govan
and Colston." This Act is full and
clear. We call attention to this be-
cause some were under the impress
sion that the County Board would
not have to make the appointment,
and that the party would not take
office until January lst.
Very truly yours.

HUSBAND ACCUSED.
Young Mother and Baby Killed and
Body Found.

Mullins, Sept. iG.-A fearful story
comes from Raines today. Mr. w.
". Shelley. a well-Enown citizen Of
the county. living eight miles south
of here, came to town and reported
a tragedy in his immediate neishbor-
hood. in which he said that young
woman and her infant are thought to
have been murdered by the husband
and father. Thos Ammons,' aged
about q and his wife, aged 20 years,
a daughter of Steve Turner, were the
parties to, the tragedy. said Mr.. Shell
lev. 1t was about 3 O'Clock Monday
morning when the neighborhood was
aroused by the cry Of fire, and when
the neighbors arrived, according to
Mr., Shelley, they found Ammons the
sole survivor Of the family.
Ammons claimed. it is said, that
ne was sleeping in a bed near the
window. while his wife and infant oc-
cupied a separate bed: that wher he
awoke the house was abIaze and fall
ing in. and that he barely had time
to jump through the window for his
life. Mr.. Shelley stated that AM
mons made several contradictory
statements concerning the affair. and
soon aroused suspicion.
Suspicion Aroused.
Among other statements attribut-
ed to Ammons was one thar the fire
was caused by lamp explosion. At
ter the fire had swept its force. and
a hurried investigation of the debris
made. the remains of the mother mad
child were taken from the fire and
examined by those present. including
the coroner. 1t was found that the
woman's skull had been crushed and
her arm possibly broken. and other
mutilations of the body were in evil
denee.
1t was also reported here that the
child's body showed signs of fo:l
play, and tLat the whole affair is
wrapped in suspicion.
Sent to Jail.
After a thorough and painstakine;
investigation the coroner's jury felt
warranted in duplicating Ammons
he was accordingly remanded to jai.
to await trial.
J. C. Spirow, a member of the cor
oner's jury was among the first to
arrive on the scene, and he gave his
version of the affair. which is practi-
cally the same as that of Mr. Shelley.
Mr.. Spirow had. together with the
evidence. a copy of the verdict, which
is as follows:
I've, the undersigned, inquiring
jurors, find that Lola Amnons de-
ceased, came to her death by blunt
ended instrument, in the hands OF
Tommy Ammons, her husband.
(Signed) D. ]. Atkinson, foreman,
and the balance of the jury.
The scene of the double tragedy is
near where three negro children were
burned to death in a house three
weeks ago, while their parents were
away from home. Ammons is arrest
ed and in Jail.

Griffin and Fottrell Win Their
Way to Finals.

Cincinnati, July l7.-After California
had eliminated all competitors in the
mems singles Of the clay court cham
pionship tennis tourney here this morn
ing, the San Francisco delegation, COM
posed of Clarence Griffin and Ella Fot
trell, won their way into the finals by
defeating Claude Wayne and Nat
Browne, both of Los Angeles, in the
semi-fnal rounds this afternoon.
Both the San Francisco boys had
rather easy times, and Griffin espe-
cially played good tennis. In his match
with Wayne he was never in any great
danger after the sixth game in the first
set. His service was almost perfect in
the second set, and with his placement
shots working TO good advantage he did
not allow Wayne a game in the second
set. The Los Angeles boy braced, how
ever, in the third set and succeeded in
,akng four games.
The championship in women's singles
will rest between the national cham
pion. Miss Mary Browne, of Los Ange-
les, and her sister. Mrs. r. II. Williams,
of Chicago. Both of these won their
matches in the semi-fnals to-day.

WIND TOO LIGHT
FOR CANOE RACE
Challenger and Defender
Unable to Finish Course
in Required Time.

After drifting over Gravesend Bay
ior Two and one-half hours yesterday
afternoon, the special cup committee
o. the New York Canoe Club called off
the hrst race of the international sail
lng canoe contest between Canada and
the United States
When the contest was declared no
race, Leo Friede. Of the Manhattan
Canoe Club. the successful defender
of the cup last year. was more than
ten minutes ahead Of Ralph Britton, OF
the GananoQue Canoe and Motor Boat
Club. the challenger.
When the canoeists started, at 3
o'clock, the wind was light and from
the south. The course was four times
around triangle. giving the sailors
contest of about nine miles. The start
was off the Marine and Field Club, and
the first round was a beat. The Amer
lcan at once opened up a considerable
lead and was ahead at every mark.
During the second round the wind
died away, and the canoes made little
or no Roadway. 1t looked as though
squat was going to break from the
northwest, but the clouds went around
the bay and left a fat calm on the
water. The little craft continued to
so around the course, with Friede do
ing the better work.
When the race was called off he had
almost completed his fourth round. It
was decided TO sail the first contest
this morning.

compete IN the singles and doubles.
He added that he did not expect TO be

Williams Wins Final
on Seabright Courts

Inns: il twisted, swayed and spun in
its course through the air and it
bounded high and erratically. Neither
Church or Mathey could fsthom it's
eccentricities and thereby lost many
points.
Mclaughlin Not at Zenith.
Occasionally Mclaughlin was his in
imitable, irresistible self, placing.
smashing, driving with incompatible
skill, and at such times he dominated
the court On the whole, however, the
national champion seemed TO be suffer-
ing from lack of practice. IL is believed
that two or three weeks will put him on
edge for his best efforts.
In the morning 1t was Behr who
proved the sensation and almost caused
an unprecedented upset by his splendid
uphill battle against Williams. The
Harvard man and the Middle States
champion had been compelled to post
pone their semi-hnsl match in the sin
giles yesterday, when each had taken a
set and the score was 3 games to in
Wlliams's favor in the final session.
Il looked hopeless for Behr when he
faced Williams this morning to COM
plete the struggle. Probably not ten
would experience any difficulty in run
ming out that last game, the set and the
match.
But they had not taken into account
the heights TO which Behr can rise when
faced by stern necessity. The Middle
States champion Immediately began a
brilliant, irresistible attack, against
which Williams, fine a player as he is,
was utterly unable 10 compete. Need
ing but single game against the five
straight that his opponent required, the
second ranking player in this country
was unequal to the task until Behr had
evened the games score at 5--all.
In the eleventh game, with both men
fighting IN a supreme effort, Williams
broke through Behr's service after the
latter had made two costly errors by
sending the ball out by inches.
Leading again at 6-3, Williams be-
gan the service that was to end in vic
tory for him. Neither man would yield
an inch, and six times the game went
to deuce before Behr gained "advant-
age"
Behr needed only single point to
bring him even again with his rival,
but Williams rallied at length and
scored an ace on beautiful shot to the
far corner of the court. Speeding up
his attack, Williams scored the last
two points and gained the match.
Clother qualified for the final round
By putting out Gustave +. Touchard IN
the semi-final at SIS, 60. In the
first set the battle was an even one,
but in the last Touchard was out
played. apparently saving himself for
the doubles engagement against Nc
Loughlin and Bundy later in the day.
