TWO SISTERS DIE IN A DAY.
Became Suddenly Ill After Taking
Anti-Typhoid Serum.

st. Matthews, July 1.-THE four
and-a-half-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. O'Neal Sandel, of Pine
Grove, near Lone Star, in Calhoun
county, died this morning, and their
two-and-a-half-year-old daughter died
this afternoon. Both children were
taken i'll last night, after each had
received an injection of anti-typhoid
fever serum. 1t is stated that neith-
er showed any signs of illness before
taking the serum, and the belief is
held by some that the serum was the
cause of their deaths, although such
has not been definitely established.
1t is also said that portion of the
serum used is in the hands of a ply
sician, who will examine it with a
view of ascertaining, if possible, whe-
ther or not the effects of the serum
was fatal to the two little girls. 1t is
stated that the injections were made
in the usual manner and that the
illness of the children was wholly
unexpected.
Great sympathy is expressed by the
people of the community for the par
ents who have been doubly bereaved
within the space of few hours. Mr..
and Mrs. Sandel have one child, an
infant. left.

$1,000 SHORT, SAY EXPERTS.
Report Follows Examination of Bank
OF Lodge.

WATERFORD, July IA commit
tee of expert accountants has just
finished checking the books OF the
Bank of Lodge. at Lodge, in the up
per end of Colleton county. and they
have reported to the officers an ap-
parent shortage of $500. the same
being scattered over period of three
years, since the bank was organized.
c. l.. Gooche was cashier Of this bank
until short while ago. The former
cashier claims. it is said, that the
alleged shortage is merely the result
of irregularities or mistakes in book
keeping.
The bank examiner made his usual
inspection about a month ago, and re-
ported nothing wrong. with the books
of the bank, but the officers, on ac-
count of the bank not paying as
large dividends as they thought it
should and for other reasons, decid-
ed to have thorough examination
made which resulted as above. Mr..
Gooche had been with the bank since
it was organized. 1t is understood
that the matter has been reported to
the bonding company, in which he is
bonded in the sum of $4,000. While
the books are alleged to show short
age of the $500, no charge has
been made by the accountants or the
officers of the bank, and every op-
portunity will be afforded those in
terested to show that the shortage
is only the result of bad bookkeep-
ing. The alleged shortage has in no
way interfered with the business OF
the bank, which is in excellent con-
dition. While the matter has been
the cause of much conversation
throughout the county for some time.
vet it has not been heralded sensa-
tionally, and everyone seems perfect
ly satisfied to wait for matters to
clear up themselves.
DR.. w. NJ. Moorer. practicing
physician of Lodge, is president Of
the bank. Cyril Fox, who has been
assistant cashier, is now acting cash
ier. Among the directors may be
mentioned DR.. .Moorer, w. NJ. Fox,
A. P. Carter, A Bennett, and J. B.
Miley, all prominent in their COM
munity and well-known financially
and otherwise all other the county.

CLAIM L. S. HOLDING FUNDS.
Suit for Division of $6S,O72,388 En-.
tered in Supreme Court.

Washington, July 16.-Claiming
that Secretary McAdoo Of the treas
ury department is the custodian of a
fund of s6S,072,3S8, gathered into
the treasury as the fruit of the labors
of slaves in the Southern States be-
tween the years 1859 and 1868, H.
N. Johnson, of Louisiana, R. Bowers,
of Texas, C. B. Williams. of Mississip-
pi, and Mamie Thompson, of Ten
nessee, have filed suit in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia for
recovery and the establishment Of a
lien on the fund for their alleged
share and for such others as may be
entitled. The court is told that the
claimants we're subject to a system
of involuntary servitude in the South
ern States and performed work in
the production of cotton and in its
preparation for market, and that the
fund was collected by the government
as internal revenue on raw cotton.
The title of the United States is
questioned by the plaintiffs, who say
that this sum is not the legitimate
property of the United States and
should be distributed among those
by whose labor cotton yielding the
revenue was produced. The plaintiffs
further declare that the system of
involuntary servitude by which plain
tiffs were dominated forced them and
their ancestors against their will to
render the labor while in justifiable
fear of bodily harm or destruction.
Through Attorney E. N. Hewlett.
of the local bar; Cornelius ]. Jones,
Of Muskogee, Okla, and H. A. Guess,
the plaintiffs ask that the matter be
referred to a master in chancery to
take proof of their claims.

GIVES OWN FIRE ALARM.
Blazing Auto Toots Horn Until As
sistance Arrives.

Sumter, July 15.-Wednesday
morning the family of R. F. Haynes
worth was attracted by the loud and
continued blowing of their automo-
bile horn and upon investigation it
was found that the automobile was
on fire and the blowing of the horn
was caused by the fire. The blaze
was extinguished after the automo-
bile had been badly damaged and the
building partly burned. The automo-
bile had not been used since the
night before and it is supposed that
it caught from short circuit. Any
way it was this short circuit or fire
which caused the horn to give the
alarm before the fire had spread to
do further damage.

THAW SHAKES OFF LAW.
Jury's Verdict Declaring Thaw Sane
Adopted by Supreme Court Justice.

New York, July 16.-Harry X.
Thaw shook off the grip of the law
today. motored down Broadway to
the applause of admirers. crossed the
ferry to Jersey City, bade the sheriff
good bye and whirled' away toward
Philadelphia, followed by process
sion of automobiles filled with news
paper men.
He reached Newark, ten miles
away, about 2 o'clock and stopped
for luncheon. A crowd quickly as
sembled outside the restaurant. They
cheered MIN. Thaw's announced in
tention was to motor to Philadelphia
and there take train for Pittsburg.
Outside Newark, Thaw lost some
of the cars which followed him.
Apparently he had headed back for
New York as ruse to elude the
newspaper men. This created some
speculation, as he had previously
said he wanted to attend theatrical
performance on Broadway tonight,
and had abandoned the idea rather
reluctantly.
Free After Nine Years.
For the first time in over nine
years Thaw was free today to go and
come as he pleased. Supreme Court
Justice Hendrick, shortly before noon.
announced that he had adopted the
verdict of the jury which Wednesday
found Thaw sane. The writ commit
ting Thaw to Matteawan seven years
ago thereupon automatically became
imperative
The States lawyers appealed and
Thaw was released on $4,000 bail.
Under the terms of the bond he is
to hold himself amenable to the
courts orders until the appeal is f.
nally decided. Meantime he may go
wherever he pleases.
Thaw- seemed delighted He said
he was very happy and frequently
stood up in his automobile to bow to
those around him.
What Thaw's attitude would be to-
wards Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was a mat
ter of considerable speculation. He
would not return a direct answer to
any question on this point. When
one interviewer asked him if he ex-
pected to see her soon Thaw looked
at his questioner steadily for a few
moments and turned away without
a word

he attacked Frank as the latter slept.
Green admitted that he had talked
with convicts on the Frank case, but
said that they had not Influenced him
in any way. He took all the blame
for the crime on his own shoulders,
and said while he thought at the
time that he was doing right, he now
regretted his act.
Superintendent Smith said this af-
ternoon that Green had not been per-
mitted to read newspapers or anti
Frank literature.
Green Studied Bible.
Green read the Bible said the
superintendent. The Bible was fur
nished to him at the library. He
studied it whenever he had an odd
moment. He seemed to be getting
religion. I know that Green was
bad man, but never dreamed that he
would attack a fellow convict. l had

MORE RESTRICTION on COTTON.
England Plans to Limit Export to
Neutral Countries to Actual Needs.

London, July 15.-The British
government hopes very shortly to
limit the export of cotton to neutral
countries to the precise amount of
actual need.
The Marquis of Crewe. lord presi-
dent of the council and liberal leader
in the house of lords, made an an
nouncement to this effect in the up
per house.
The Marquis of Crewe's statement
was made in reply to series of ques-
tions by Baron Charnwood regarding
the supply of cotton and other mate
rial through neutral countries to Ger
many, and whether the government
had found that the measures taken
since March l were effective.
The real question, he thought, was
whether it was advisable to add cot
ton to the contraband list. On that
question there had been number Of
misunderstanding and misapprehen-
sions and some of them, the speaker
said, undoubtedly obtained not only
in this country, but in neutral coun-
tries.
So far as could be ascertained, he
continued, the naval measures taken
to prevent fresh supplies Of cotton
from reaching Germany had been sue
cessful. The government hoped by
continual friendly negotiations to i'm
prove the position progressing toward
what must be their main purpose;
namely, to limit the exports to those
neutral countries to the precise
amount of their actual needs calcu-
lated on the average imports which
they had employed at home during
the last few years.
Under Present System.
The Marquis of Crewe said that on
this question of N>contraband there
could be no magic in the mere dec
laration of any commodity as contra
band 80 long as the government pur-
sued its present system Of examining
all goods. He did not think anyone
would suppose that under interna-
tional law or the most elementary
rules of fair play it was possible to
institute a blockade of neutral coun-
tries with whom England had no
quarrel.
Therefore, the government had
adopted policy, which admittedly
was novel, but which was rendered
necessary by the changed conditions
of maritime warfare. The desire Of
the government was to admit the ex-
port to neutral countries Of goods
representing the needs of these coun-
tries, and absolutely no more.
I'm the United States" he said,
"the placing of cotton on the contra
band list would cause no small
amount of alarm, and the govern
ment is convinced that so far as the
entrance of cotton into Germany is
concerned we should gain no benefit.
At present we stand better in in
structed public opinion in the United
States than our enemies, and, there
fore, unless it is clear that change
of this kind is absolutely necessary,
the government is averse to taking
action, which would be regarded by
a particular interest in the Southern
States Of America as being unfriend-
ly.
II certainly am not going to say
that if the military considerations
were found I'd be paramount we
might not have to face corresponding
disadvantages, and We should be un-
wise to bind ourselves strictly.
