POLICEMAN KILLED.
Sergt. Franklin Slain by Burglar in
Orangeburg.

Orangeburg, March 9.-Police
Sergt. H. H. Franklin was shot and
mortally wounded here this morning
by Mackey Palmer, colored, whom he
was trying to arrest. The wounded
officer was rushed to a hospital IN
Columbia for treatment, but died OF
his wounds early tonight. After an
exciting man hunt which lasted all
day Palmer was arrested this even
ing by Sheriff R. F. Dukes just out
side of the city. The sheriff tagged
a passing freight train and took his
prisoner to Denmark, there to catch
another train for Columbia, the plan
being to spirit the prisoner away
from the angry crowds searching for
him. AS soon as it was learned that
the sheriff had gotten off with his
prisoner two parties are reported to
have left Orangeburg in an attempt
to intercept the officer. 1t was fear
ed there would be a lynching if the
men succeeded in getting their hands
on the prisoner.
The shooting of Officer Franklin
stirred the city, and as soon as the
report got out men armed themselves
and went out to look for Palmer.
The negro escaped from the county
jail last Tuesday night, where he was
being held pending his trial on the
charge of robbing the home of Mrs.
Mary Dibble. While mayors court
was in progress this morning it was
learned that the escaped prisoner
was in a house on Calhoun street.
Sergt. Franklin started at once for
the scene determined to arrest the
man. He was joined on the way by
Officer Marion Wolfe. Mr.. Franklin
entered at the front of the house,
while Mr.. Wolfe guarded the rear.
When Mr.. Franklin attempted to ar
rest Palmer, the negro fired three
times at the officer, one shot taking
effect in the chest, another in the alb
domen and a third in the thigh. The
negro left the building by way of the
front and made his escape.
: Crowds of angry citizens searched
the woods all day in the direction the
negro was reported to have taken.
Toward evening Sheriff Dukes, &C
companied by Sheriff Hill, Of Cal
houn county and other officers, found
Palmer hiding in hollow log. The
negro was armed with two pistols.
The officers quickly disarmed him.
The arrest took place near the river
by the coal chute on the Atlantic
Coast Line. A freight train was
passing and the officers tagged and
boarded it with their prisoner, pre-
sumably to take him to Columbia and
place him in the penitentiary for
safekeeping.

SENATOR WITH A PROGRAM.

Judge Charles L. McNary, the new senator from
Oregon, is not to be a deadhead in the game at Wash
ington. He has been practicing law in Salem for 20
years, served two years on the state supreme bench,
and was chairman of the Republican state committee
in the last campaign when Oregon was the only one
of the western states to remain in the Republican
column.
But Judge McNary does not intend to stand on his
record of the past to gain favor in Washington. He
has a program. Following his appointment by Gov
ernor Withycombe he gave out a statement in which
he announced that he was in the fight for national
prohibition and national woman suffrage. These
propositions, he says, were endorsed by the voters of
Oregon at the last election and he proposes to stand
by them.
This statement is proof that Judge McNary is fully
abreast of his times; it is a clear indication also that
he will be heard from after he reaches Washington.

her listeners.
So, one finds oneself studying with
increased interest the billboard on
Main and Eighth, that other one on
Sixth and Washington; that one we al
ways look at when going to the post
office, and all the other big and little
signs tackled up all over town. One
even frequently picks up the Star
Mirror and pretends to take a precious
interest in the war news when, in real
ity, n is only reading the latest say
ing of "the good judge
No long ago, | heard someone re-
mark that such tobacco advertisements
were not allowed to be- displayed on
the s~ignboards in some of our middle
western states. Here you can travel
for miles along splendid auto roads
without being reminded every so often
ito save the coupons" The state au-
vast numbers of young boys are led in
to the habit of clandestine smoking
through the influence of advertise
ments that are forever Haunting them
selves in the face of the public. No
one need moralize on hte evils of the
tobacco habit, for as a brain-killer and
b~ody-toner it has . been well dem
onstrated. But it does seem hiatt our
city authorities might take some steps
toward minimizing the tobacco appeal,
and thus do their "bit" toward lessen !

virile and less efficient citizenship.

by the brilliantly-colored bits of
scenery that are purposely designed to
catch the eye and mind of the passer-

WAR WARRANTS IN DOUBT

Governor Alexander and other state officials have
been going about over the southern part of the state
holding what they claim are patriotic rallies. others
look upon them as political rallies. Who is to draw
the line? The officials insist they are arousing the
people to the necessity of enlsting, buying bonds and
raising big crops. Others insist they are building up
d political machine.
On this point it is net the Intention here to pass
judgment. Every citizen has his right to his own
opinion.
But the issue has been brought to the front in,
an interesting way by the refusal of State Treasurer
John w. Eagleson to allow the expense account of
these officials in their trips over the state. An ex-
pense account of $307.25 came up the other day. 1t
was incurred by the governor, the attorney general
and the state auditor in one or more of their trips. 1t
was approved by the state board of examiners COM

MAKE IDLE. DOLLARS FIGHT.

There is no reason why dollars should be permitted
to stink away like dirty towards in such times as these.
Make every one of them get out and hustle now when
everything in life worth fighting for is at stake.
Every dollar should be put under whip and spur
to do double duty now in business. Keep the wheels
of industry hot. There is plenty for the dollars to do
in business. There should not be a Stacker, a
skulker or a traitor among them.
Then there is work for them to do in their more
intimate relation to the war. Here are three important
fields for their activities
The Red Cross.
The Army Y. M. c. A,
The Liberty Loan.
What are dollars good for anyhow if they cannot
render service at such times as the present and in
such a cause as is now presented? Drive everyone Of
them cut into the open. Make them show their colors.
Every dollar that is not for us is against us.

HOMES OF THE BRAVE

Somebody who has been studying the enlistment
figures calls the attention of the New York Times to
the fact that the west is leaving the east badly in the
rear in this particular.
Of the first states, in point of enlistments, IA are
western and Pacific coast states. Of the eastern states
Pennsylvania is the only one to come within the first
20 in the percentage of enlistments.
The percentage of e%nlistments May 16, 1917, to the
total population, census of 1910, places Idaho fifth in
the list. Nevada leads with .458O, Oregon next with
.223O, Utah next with .2174, Indiana next with 1875
and then Idaho with 1889. Indiana is ranked as a
western state.
This leads this writer to conclude that the heart of
the nation is in the west and that the east is full of
dead mems bones."t

Of state. 1t was a deficiency claim drawn upon what
is styled the war fund"
Payment of the warrant was refused by Treasurer
Eagleson on the ground that no such fund was au-
thorized by the legislature and that the legislature is
the only agent in the state with power to authorize
funds of any kind.
Attorney General Walters has been asked to rule
on the legal phases of the question and no doubt some
way will be devised for getting around the snag so
that the officials may continue rousing the patriotic
spirits of Idaho at the expense of Idaho.
