weeks in the swamps along the banks
of the Savannah river are brought

THAW BACK TO NEW YORK.
Supreme Court Rules He Should Be
Extradited From N. H.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Harry K.
Thaw lost his fight in the supreme
court of the United States today
against being extradited from New
Hampshire to New York. The court
held that Thaw should be turned over
Immediately to the New York author
'ities to answer an indictment for con-
spiracy to escape from Matteawan
asylum. \,
Whether his escape, while, as his
counsel contended, he was insane,
constituted a crime, and other ques-
tions, the court dismissed with the
comment that they could not enter
into habeas corpus proceedings and
that they were proper questions for
the State of New York to decide.
Actually, the Thaw case-the kill
ing of Stanford White-was not be-
fore the court. Merely the question
of returning him on the conspiracy
question was up for decision.
What other moves, if any, were
open to Thaw's counsel to prevent
his return to the State where he was
twice tried and had made many futile
efforts to be released, those familiar
with the legal procedure were at a
loss to forecast.
To those who have followed the
case it seemed that the fight against
returning to New York was lost and
that nothing remained but for the
sheriff of Coos county, New Hamp-
shire, to turn Thaw over to New
York officers upon the extradition
which was granted by the governor
of New Hampshire, but stayed by the
decision of Justice Aldrich, which
was today reversed.

MILL MAN KILLS HIS WIFE
VICTIM SAID TO HAVE BEEN
CHOKED TO DEATH.
Young Greenwood Mill Man Said to
Have Admitted Killing to Sew
eral Persons.

Greenwood, Dec. 21.-Albert Toll
bert, young white man, working at
the Pamela Cotton mill here, choked
his wife to death yesterday afternoon
while they were alone in a. room, ac-
cording to statements Tolbert is said
to have made to several persons, in
cluding Sheriff Mcmillan. Tolbert,
it seems, was utterly Indifferent to
the affair, sending a message to the
sheriff to come and arrest him and
to the undertaken to attend to his
wifes remains,
The dead woman before marriage
was Miss Nola Hall, from Donalds
section of Abbeville county. She and
Tolbert had been married several
years, but had/not been able to live
together, and had separated several
times. Lately, however, they had
been living together and working in
the Pamela mill. They occupied two
rooms of a house and Mr.. NJ. D. Ell
lenburg and family the other two
rooms. Yesterday Mr.. Ellenburg
said he heard them quarrelling and
heard the woman scream; that he and
his family thought they were fighting,
but did not suspect the actual nature
of the struggle. A little later, it
seems, Tolbert came to the door and
asked Ellenburg's son to- go for the
sheriff, saying that he had killed his
wife. He had knife in his hand.
Mr.. Ellenburg sent for Superln-
tendent McCuen. When Mr.. McCuen
arrived he found the woman dead on
the floor and Tolbert sitting by the
fire smoking. a cigarette. He said
Tolbert told him he had choked his
wife to death; that it had been done
about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t
was then 2 o'clock. Sheriff Mcmillan
and DR.. Lyon were soon on hand and
the examination showed that, the
woman's neck was broken. The doc
tor said he observed that the woman
seemed to have been strangled and
that Tolbert replied that she had;
that he had choked her to death.
Tolbert was taken to Jail. There
was considerable talk of lynching
but cooler counsel prevailed.
The dead woman was about %
years of age. Tolbert appears to be
about %. He is from the McCor-
mick section.

That Would Do Nicely.

The kid is only years old; some
of the things he says may be clever
on purpose, but the most of them are
only clever because we think they
are, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Take this one, for instance:
The other day his mother said to
his father, in his presence:
Billy is awfully naughty. I
don't know what to do with him. He
disobeys me, he is bad to his play
mates, he acts like little fiend to
the maid. What shall I do? I
have tried spanking him, have sent
him to bed, have shut him up in
a dark closet. None of those things
seem to do bit of good. What shall
I do?"
While the father was thinking it
over the kid himself Clipped in
with a suggestion:
"Why don't you cut my head off,
he inquired.
What can you do with a child
like that?

A Dowry for Mcbride?

A Philadelphia mill owner of great
wealth, meeting an attractive widow
at church, is alleged between hymns
to have made it plain to her that if
there was husk in his voice when
singing it was due to Cupid, not cold,
says the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
He is 72 years of age, she somewhat
younger, but not child. Both have
grown children. Business woman
that she was, she arranged for
dowry of $4,000 upon her marriage.
Perhaps he had the same keen sense
of business, because in her allega-
tions in a suit just filed it appears
that, after thinking it over, he de-
cided to indefinitely postpone nup-
tia!s.
The question as to whether bride
that failed to materialize can recover
a dowry in lieu of orange blossoms
is a delicate one. The lawyer makes
the dowry contract the basis of his
suit. and thereby reduces the affair
to one of dollars and cents, rather
than a broken heart. This is not at
all fattering to the man in the case,
who may have imagined at one time
that her chief interest was sentimen-
tai; but, in any event, the issue is
squarely drawn.
Can disappointed bride-to-be get
her dowry?

BAMBERG S. G. THURSDAY, DECEMBER "a,
TWO NEGROES KILLED.
Several White Men Injured in Battle
at Fairplay.

Anderson, Dec. 21.-Two negroes
were killed and four white men
wounded in battle between the four
white men and a party of negroes at
Fairplay, in Oconee county, last
night. News of the affair has just
reached surrounding towns, and, on
account of telephone lines being out
of commission, full details have not
been obtained.
Allen Green and Green Gibson are
the dead negroes.
The white men suffering wounds
are: Magistrate w. C. Mcclure, shot
in the wrist; John Mcdonald, shot in
the eye; Woodrow Campbell, suffer-
ing a wound on the hand; Paul Mar
rett, sprinkled with shot.
1t is said that a negro burned a
barn near Knox's bridge in Oconee
county Saturday afternoon and that
Magistrate Mcclure, Woodrow Camp
bell, John Mcdonald and Paul Mar
rett went to the suspected negro's
house and, carrying him to the place
where the barn was burned, gave him
a severe whipping.
Returning they are said to have
been attacked by party of negroes
led by Allen Green. Green was killed
in the fight which followed, and
Green Gibson died later from wounds
received in the battle. None of the
white men is believed to be fatally
wounded.
This affair may be a sequel to the
wellnigh fatal stabbing of Julius Mar
rett in this community a few days
ago. Marrett was seriously stabbed
while trying to arrest a negro who
had escaped from a Georgia county
changing. The negro successfully
eluded pursuit in South Carolina, but
was later arrested and is now in jail
at Toccoa, Ga.

If This Be True.

Never mind how big a rascal he may
be
Every fellow has another entity!
There's a good man and bad,
Both a sane man and mad,
In most every human being that we
see.
Carve the hide of any saint and you
may find
That the sanity epidermis is a blind
When the cuticle is scratched
Many hipocrite it's hatched-
1t is seldom men are covered as
Many good-for-naught has value in
his hold,
And some fools are worth their
weight in solid gold.
No one merits our abuse
Every human is of use
Even dead men bring a price, so we
are told.
Nature never made a freak in human
guiSe
Altogether ignorant or wholly wise;
Every stretching human skin
Holds at least two egos in,
Though but one may be detected by
our eyes.
AS this theory of mine is strictly
true,
Don't forget how many egos are
your due;
Better train them all to be
Fit for humankind to see,
Lest the wrong one should show up
and hoodoo you.

FIGHT FOR FRANK CONTINUES.
Federal Judge Newman Declines to
Issue Certificate Sought.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 21.-Federal
Judge Newman today declined to
grant a certificate stating that, in his
opinion, there was probable cause"
for an appeal to the United States
supreme court in the habeas corpus
proceedings instituted by Leo NJ.
Frank, under sentence to be hanged
January % for the murder of Mary
Phagan.
Judge Newman stated, however,
at the close of an extended hearing,
that he was willing to allow Frank
to appeal to the higher court, but
that he would not certify the appeal.
According to Franks attorneys, un-
der the law of 1908, relating to ap-
peals in habeas corpus cases from the
Federal district courts, Judge New
mans decision in effect means that
they will> be compelled to 60 before
an individual justice Of the supreme
court, and make application to him
to grant an appeal before the matter
can be brought before the higher
court. This, they stated, they In
tended to do. 1t was stated the mat
ter first probably would be brought
before Justice Lamar.
In announcing his decision on the
appeal, in open court today, Judge
Newman said:
Il would be glad to have the su-
preme court pass upon the question
presented in this proceeding, but
since 1 have heard the petition and
decided that. could not issue the
writ, believe. that cannot say there
is probable cause for an appeal. TO
do so, it seems to me, would be con-
Trajectory. To have granted the writ
would have meant the discharge Of
the prisoner, and from the record
and what was presented, I did not
feel that l could do that.
81 am willing to allow the appeal,
but I cannot give a certificate of
probable cause for the same"
Judge Newman said he would give
Franks attorneys copy Of his opin-
ion in denying the writ last Saturday,
and also a statement of his reasons
for his decision today, which they
might present to the supreme court
in connection with their application
for an appeal.
Attorney General Grice and Solici-
tor Dorsey, for the State, opposed the
granting of the appeal, declaring the
State supreme courts ruling that-the
question of Franks right to have
been in the court room when the veri
dict was returned was a matter in
volving State practice, had been up
held by the justices of the supreme
court. They contended that the mat
ter was presented in the habeas cor
pus proceeding in order to delay ex-
ecution of the judgment of the State
courts.

GEORGETOWN HIT BY FIRE.
Four Homes, Including Mayors, To-
tally Destroyed.

Georgetown, Dec. ia disas-
trous fire occurred in this city about
5 o'clock this morning, when the
homes of Mayor W. H. Andrews, DR..
NJ. P. Moorer, A: P. Weber and a
residence belonging to Herman
Schink burned to the ground, entail
ing a loss of about s5O,O0O, which IS
partly covered by insurance.
The main cause of the spread of
this fire, which could have been easily
extinguished in the beginning, was
the inefficiency of the present water
works and failure to supply the neces-
sary pressure.
Water Mains Burst.
At the first alarm the engineer in
charge of the pumping station, 1t
seems, instead of grading the pres
sure on the water mains, turned it
on too suddenly, shattering sections
of the mains. After this had occur
red. instead of shutting off the mains
in that section of town, so that the
Georgetown water works pumping
station could have supplied the neces-
sary pressure, such a supply Of wa
ter continued escaping from the
broken mains that at no time could
a pressure of over fifteen pounds be
eXerted.
