husband had been given a new SOM

the third person-Karl Reed, a lawyer

Thus he had the hat firmly impressed

he saw the top of the familiar SOM

During the last three or four days
many isolated parties of the Germans

KILLING IN UNION.

J. P. McKissick, better known as
"Jack" McKissick, was shot and in
stantly killed late Wednesday after
noon at his farm, few miles north
Of Union.
n. A. Nicholson, a teEant on this
farm, is charged with the killing,
McKissick lived at Jonesville. We'd
nesday, according to the testimony
given by a negro who was with Mr..
McKissick, the latter came to the
farm, got off his horse and started
to enter the back porch of the farm
house, to draw some water from a
we'll there, and as i, d:i 50 4 s..ot
was fired and on returning to the
we'll the negro said he found Mr.. Nc
Kissick lying on the ground, dead,
with a hole in his left face just be-
meath the eye.
A shot gun was used and the
whole load Of shot entered the face,
making a frightful wound. The ne
gro testified that the shot was fired
from the house and he saw no one
until the shooting took place. 1t is
thought there had been previous
trouble between the parties. Nichol-
son came in and surrendered to the
sheriff.

The allies aviators apparently dis
covered the placements Of big Ger

beneath an earthern covering strewn
with the branches of trees. The al
lies artillery opened concentrated
fire on a certain portion Of the line
and tie heavy German artillery
shortly afterward lapsed into silence
at that spot, although it is not known
whether they were rendered impotent
or merely were effecting change OF
position.
It is impossible to learn from any
one portion of the line what is occur
ring at other places, but an incllna'
ton to recede slightly seemed evl-
dent on the German side, although
they offered the most obstinate re-
sistance. The allies at the same time
doggedly pursued the small advan'

British troops formed part of the

Burnt But Examination Brings
Doubts.
". NJ. Shelley, well known citi-
zen living eight miles south of Null
Inns, reported tragedy in his
neighborhood, in which he said that
young woman and her infant are
thought to have been murdered by
the husband and father. Thomas
Ammons, aged 81, and his wife, aged
20 years, daughter Of Steve Turn
er, were the parties to the tragedy.
said Mr.. Shelley. It was about two
o'clock Monday morning when the
neighborhood was aroused by the cry
Of fire, and when the neighbors ar
rived, according to Mr.. Shelley, they
found Ammons the sole survivor of
the family.
Ammons claimed, it is said, that
he was sleeping in a bed near the
window, while his wife and infant
occupied separate bed; that when
he awoke the house was ablaze and
falling in, and that he barely had
time to jump through the window
for his life. Mr.. Shelley stated that
Ammons made several contradictory
statements concerning the affair, and
soon aroused suspicion.
After the fire had spent its force
and hurried investigation of the
debris made the remains of the moth
er and child were taken from the fire
and examined by those present, in
cluding the coroner. It was found
that the woman's skull had been
crushed, an arm possibly broken and
other mutilatiols of the body were
in evidence. The affair is wrapped
in mystery.
After a thorough and painstaking
investigation the coroner's jury felt
warranted in holding Ammons, and
he was accordingly remanded to jail
to await trial.

SLASHES WHITE MAN.
Negro Cuts Aiken County Farmer
Infiicting Severe Wound.

The Aiken policemen are hunting
throughout the rural district of Ak

son, who Saturday night attacked
John Shellhouse, son of Henry She'll
house, one of the leading farmers
of this county, with razor, slash
ing Mr.. Shellhouse about the head
and face and inflicting wounds from
which he may die.
Jackson, who is known to the po-
lice as a bad negro, and his wife had
been picking cotton for Mr.. She'll
house, and had come to Aiken Satur-
day afternoon. Mr.. Shellhouse took
them in his buggy to carry them back
to the farm Saturday night, and
when about FIVE miles from the city
an alteration arose. Mr.. Shellhouse
was left by the roadside practically
dead from his wounds and the loss
of blood, the negro escaping.

MONEY FOR THIS STATE
BANKS ASK FOR SMALL AMOUNT
OF AVAILABLE CURRENCY.
Lever and Ragsdale Secure Informa-
tion and Plan Amendment to the
Emergency Measure.

Representative Lever, as resul
of a conference with treasury depart
ment officials concerning the com
plants of South Carolina banker
that they could not get hold Of an!
Emergency currency, received Thurs
day a letter from W. P. Malburn
assistant secretary of the Federal re
serve board. declaring that out OF the
thirty-six banks forming the State
Currency Association twenty-thret
had applied for emergency currency
under the amended Aldrjch-Vreelanc
act, and that they have asked fol
only S1,304,750 of che total Of s6,.
072,000 available for the national
| banks of South Carolina.
OF the applications made s1,301,'
900 has been approved and $642,40C
of this has been actually shipped, the
remainder being in process Of print
ing and likely to be shipped within
week.
Representative Ragsdale, mem
Der of the banking and currency COM
mittee, will offer an amendment, pre-
pared by himself and Mr.. Lever, to
the emergency amendment, which
has already passed the Senate, pro-
viding that the Secretary of the
Treasury shall require banks receiv-
ing emergency currency to report
each week the amount issued upon
warehouse receipts for cotton, grain
and other agricultural products and
naval stores, the amount loaned up
on such receipts, the amount request
ed for loan upon such receipts, the
rate of interest for such loans and,
in case of rejection, the reasons
therefor, which statements shall be
published in newspapers OF general
circulation in the locality Of the
banks.
Messrs. Ragsdale and Lever hold
that if these statements are publish
ed the force Of public sentiment in
the communities affected will COM
pei the banks. if not disposed volun-
tarily to do so, to carry out the in
tent OF the government that the emer-
gency currency shall be used for the
purposes for which it is being pro-
vided.
It is now apparent that the bank
ing and currency committee will not
endorse that feature of the Hoke
Smith amendment to the Emergency
act admitting State banks to its priv
ileges directly and removing the 10
per cent. tax on State bank currency.
Instead the committee will probably
report in favor of the first part Of
the Smith amendment, raising the
amount Of commercial assets on
which emergency currency currency
may be based to Is per cent. instead
of 80 per cent. as at present.
The Federal reserve system will
probably be in operation by October
Is, and it will afford much more re-
lief, in the opinion of experts, than
the Aldrich-vreeland act, even in the
latters amended form. Under the
Federal Reserve act commercial as
sets may be accented even up to 100
per cent. as a basis for currency.

Part of Crew Reached Shelter
After Many Hardships.
| Twelve members of the Stefanssor
Antarctic expedition have perished
it was learned Monday when the
United States revenue cutter Bear
arrived at Nome, Alaska, with II
survivors of the exploration ship
Karluk's crew rescued from Wran-
gell Island by the gasoline schooner
King and Winge and transferred to
the Bear Is miles from Wrangell
Island.
The Karluck was crushed in the
ice last January and part of the crew
after incredible hardships and perils,
reached Wrangell Island, 80 miles
distance on March - with 70 days
rations. These were exhausted about
June 4. Death by starvation and
cold was ever near the castaways
until September 6, when the rescue
ship arrived.
The King and Winge after leaving
Nome September went to East
Cape, Siberia, to take on Eskimos
ard skin boats. She then laid her
course for Rogers Harbor, Wrangell
Island, arriving there about 1870
o'clock on the night of September G..
Four Eskimos in a skin boat found a
lead through the ice, reached shore
and brought back a number of men
who had been in camp near shore.
The schooner then proceeded to the
other side of the Island, where it
picked up the remaining survivors
who were in another camp.
The King and Winge started for
Nome with the rescued and had gone
rs miles when she met the revenue
cutter Bear, to which the survivors
were transferred. With them was
brought cat picked up by the Kar-
luk's crew at Victoria, B. c., last
year, and kept with them through
out all their hardships
Counting the eight men who per-
ished on the ice while trying to reach
land after the Karluk was crushed
the three who died on Wrangell Is
land. and Andrew Norman Of the
Anderson party, who committed sui
eide by shooting while insane from
exposure. Twelve men of the Stef-
ansson exposition have died. Nal
loch and Bretty, who died of scurvy,
and Mamen, who accidentally shot
himself, were buried on Wrangell
Island
After the accident to the Karluck
last January, when the ship was
crushed in the ice north of Herald
Island, her party remained in camp
on ice until they had agreed that
the. best course was to make for
Wrangell Island They divided into
parties and set out. The party led
by Dr. Forbes-Mackay, changed it's
mind and headed for the Siberian
shore. It repented and was seen to
lay its course again for Wrangell
Island.
Four days later, in the third week
of February, terrible blizzard rag
ed which opened the ice in all direc-
tions and churned it. There was no
hope that any of the eight escaped
the storm, but to ease their minds
the survivors on Wrangell Island
made Journeys in all directions, even
to Herald Island, in search Of the
eight lost men.
After their rations were exhausted
the castaways subsisted on whatever
food they were able to gather. They
killed three Polar bears and many
seals and birds.
