NEGRO MURDERS Wife
ABE CLARK PUTS THREE LOADS
OF BIRDSHOT IN WIFE's BODY.
Sheriff Turner Went to Scene With
Track Dog, But Clark Made His
Escape by Riding Mule.

Track Dog, But Clark Made His
Escape by Riding Mule.
Abe Clark, negro, shot and kill
ed his wife on the Cherry Hill farm
below Doverel Saturday afternoon at
about two o'clock.
There were no witnesses to the
killing, but there were several ne
groes nearby who heard the shots
and hurried. to the scene, where they
found the woman lying face down
ward in the public road with two
loads of birdshot in her face and one
load in her back between the shout
ders. She was dead when her body
was reached and her husband was
gore.
Sheriff Turner was notified and he,
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Thorn
as, went to the scene and carried the
track dogs. The dogs took up the
trail and ran it few hundred yards,
when the track of a mule was discov-
cred coming out of the woods, and
the tracks showed the mule was in a
gallop. From this it was presumed
that Clark was met by some friend
with mule, who assisted in making
his getaway The dogs followed the
mule tracks for a while, but as the
track was several hours old and cold
they lost it.
Coroner Marshall empaneled a
jury composed of J. R. Smith, fore
man; NJ D. Turner, w. w. Kelley,
w. w. Jolley, George Mathis and j..
C. Rogers and went out to hold an
inquest.
The only witness before the jury
who was able to throw any light on
the subject was a negro man, who
passed Clark and his wife in the road
quarreling. Clark had his gun with
him. After he had travelled about
two hundred yards he heard three
shots fired, and later some other ne
groes told him that the woman was
dead in the road. The jury returned
a verdict that the woman met her
death by gunshot wounds at the
hands of Abe Clark.
Clark is still at large.

NEGRO CONVICT ASSAULTS
ANOTHER WITH A SPADE
Dave Jones Knocked B. A. Amos in
the Head Monday.

Dave Jones and B. A. Amos, two
negroes doing time on the city chain
gang, got into row Monday, which
came near resulting in tragedy. The
quarrel started about a match one of
them had which the other wanted,
and ended by Jones knocking Amos
in the head with the spade he was
using, inflicting such serious injuries
that incapacitated Amos for work and
made the immediate attention of a
physician necessary.
After Jones completes the sentence
he is serving he will have to face
trial for his murderous assault on
his fellow convict, and will no doubt
continue in the service of the city
for a longer period than was first
given him.

HEN HATCHED ALLIGATORS.
The Little Animals Caught the Hen
and Scared Her to Death.

The following from Kinstan, NJ C.,
recently appeared in several North
Carolina papers:
A barnyard panic followed the ap-:
pearance ''in public of the best set
ter in the flock of C. j. Overton, at
South Creek, with the queerest brood
ever Matched by hen. A tragedy
followed. the hen being the victim
of fright. Overton found a nest with
81 alligator eggs in it on the banks
of South creek, in which the reptiles
abound. He took the eggs home,
selected half dozen, placed them in
a box with straw and the over-zea1-
Gus hen, '*absoluteIy devoid of
means Immediately seized upon the
opportunity. Just how long was re-
quired to hatch the eggs is not GER
tain, but that three produced is
known to reliable neighbors as well
as to Overton,. man of splendid
reputation. The hen clucking led her
brood, their mouths wide open, out
for the other fowls to pass judgment
on.
She scratched, and then trouble
started. The alligators did not get

seized her by vulnerable parts, al

arranged. The frightened hen elud

he finally cornered her. The un
grateful offsprings were still cling

}, Relieved, the hen immediately f1ev
into tree, and would not be coaXet

: hours. Overton will try the expert
ment again.

[ FORD'S SUBMARINE.
What the Automobile Man Has t,
Say About the Little Terror.

Henry Ford, the automobile manu-
!. facturer, who is going to New York
Sunday night preliminary to a con.
ference with Secretary Daniels, will
submit to the latter plan for new
submarine one-fourth the size of the
average submarine, far more destruc-
tive and, in Mr.. Ford's opinion, like
ly to hasten world peace.
Is The new submarine would be
equipped with a gasoline motor only
ene-fourth the size of those now in
use aaG far less expensive.
This is what Mr. Ford has to say
about the new submarine:
It would be no trick at all to pro-
duce a submarine equipped with a
gasoline engine for it's entire motive
power which could sail anywhere un-
der the sea carrying pill at the end
of pole powerful enough to blow
the mightiest battleship ever built
into a wreck of junk. l am going to
tell Secretary Daniels so when 1 see
him in Washington next week.
f'The new submarine would be
One-fourth the size of the present
submarine and would be able to pro-
pei itself and guide itself up and
down TO the right and to left, by its
own power. Electric storage batter
les are unnecessary.
ssAnd the best of all, these sub
marines can be built at such a slight
cost that all the incentive for greedy
armament makers will. be taken
away from them. They will cost on
" a fraction of what the present sub
marines cost and only fraction OF
one per cent. of the $15,O00,OOO
dreadnoughts which they will be able
to blow to pieces.
eff the public is interested
enough, we may arrange to give
demonstrations of this new machine
some time in the near future. l be
1ieye that education will be the great
est factor in bringing about univers
al peace, but this new submarine i
likely, by the very terror it inspires
to hasten world peace"

RIG CROP OF PEANUTS.
Three Hundred Acres Planted by r.
Nj. Rogers, Sr., of Florence.

Florence, Sept. 30.-One of the
most interesting sights to be seen on
a farm hereabouts is that on the
farm of Mr.. Frank Nj. Rogers, Sr., in
Back Swamp Township, where at this
time he has begun the harvesting OF
his large peanut crop, mention OF
which was made in these news items
some weeks ago. Mr.. Rogers plant
ed this year 800 acres of Spanish
and Virginia peanuts, which was
nothing more than an experiment,
for nothing like this great acreage
has ever before been planted IN
South Carolina. It is said that the
next largest acreage planted by any
one farmer in this State is near
Bishopville, where some Is or 100
acres are planted.
Mr.. Rogers began about ten days
ago gathering this new crop, that is
in this section, and one who mas
never seen the peanut crop grown or
harvested would be amazed were
they to pass along the highway and
view the result. Hundreds of hands,
negro men, women and children, are
employed in ploughing, lifting the
vines with their tubers, stacking and
curing them, making ready for pick
ing and separating.
The vines with their tubers are
, stacked in the field on poles which
have been erected with an arrange
ment at the bottom about a foot
from the ground for ventilation.
These poles are placed about fifty
yards apart and in rows the length
of the field. There are several thou
sand poles or stacks, which resemble
hay stacks, only they are not so high
or so bulky, and it certainly is in
teresting to pass along and take a
view of these farms.
Mr.. Rogers will net anywhere from
80 to 120 bushels of peanuts to the
acre, and it is stated that he will be
able to dispose of his entire crop at
80 cents to 81 the bushel.
It will be remembered. that Mr..
Rogers was the pioneer tobacco
planter in this State, which crop is
the outcome of the News and Cour-
ier's efforts some twenty odd years
ago and which has proven to be
great big crop in South Carolina.
Mr.. Rogers planted no cotton on
his plantation this year at all, and
by his not doing so he will no doubt
be much benefited.

KILLED IN EUROPE.
VIM. Nj. Nichols Slain on Battlefield,
Says Report From London.

Spartanburg, Sept. 30.-Second
Lieut.. w. Montague Nichols, with
the 18th battery, Royal Field Artil-
lery, of the British army, was killed
in battle September 26-27, according
to information received this morn
ing from the British war office in
London by Judge George W. Nichols,
father of Lieut.. Nichols.
The message conveyed no details
as to the actual engagement in which
Lieut.. Nichols fell, but it is believed
that he was killed in the desperate
battle in the region of Hulluch and
Loos, when the British and French
forces opened strong offensive
movement against the German
forces, driving them from their
trenches and making advances for
the allies, as indicated in war dis
patches published here during the
early part of the week. The copy
of the cablegram received by Judge
Nichols at his Office today was as
follows:
London, September 80.
George w. Nichols, Spartanburg,
S. c.: Deeply regret to inform you
that Second Lieut. w. M. Nichols, R.
F. A., was killed in action between
1921 September. Lord Kitchener
express sympathy
Congressman-elect Sam J. Mich
oils, brother of Lieut.. Nichols, i'm
mediately filed cablegram to the
British war office requesting infor-
nation as to the possibilities of hav-
ing the body delivered to South Car
olina for interment. The United
States war department was wired
asking the department. to assist rela-
tives here in having the body deliv-
cred to Spartanburg. Every effort
will be made to secure the body.
Quit Naval Academy.
Lieut.. Nichols, who left for Eng
land soon after the European war
was declared, having resigned from
the United States Naval Academy, at
Annapolis, a year previous to be-
come a member of his fathers law
firm here, spent several weeks IN
London before his services in the
English army were accepted, but fl
nally, after taking the oath of al
1egiance to England, secured COM
mand as second lieutenant in the
Royal Artillery and was sent to the
front about year ago.
Last March, 21st, he was wound
ed, being shot through the thighs
This caused him to spend several
months in a hospital, but recovering
from that wound, he was again sent
to the front possibly three months
ago.
Lieut.. w. Montague Nichols was
the third son of Judge and Mrs.
George w. Nichols and one of the
most popular young men of the city.
He graduated from the city schools
with honors and spent one year at
Wofford. He next entered the Cita-t
del and had completed two years
when he received his appointment at
the government naval
school. In March, before he would
have graduated in June from the
Naval Academy, he resigned his COM
mission and returned to Spartanburg,
where he remained until September,
1914, when he decided to enlist with
England in the great European con-
flict.
