Johns, son Of Superintendent Johns,
Of the South Carolina Industrial
School, and Earle Parker, Of Column
hia, one Of the school boys, were
badly burned this afternoon when
tank Of gasoline from which they
were printing the cylinders OF their
tractor exploded. The boys were
stunned by the force Of the explosion.
Their clothing was covered with the
burning stuff, and both suffered seri-
GUS injuries before assistance
reached them. The Parker boy Is
most dangerously burned, but it is
thought he will recover. A school
boy named Powers saved their lives
by wrapping sacks around them and
smothering the flames. The boys
had been driving the tractor all day,
and it had run hot, and when they
poured gasoline into the cocks the
explosion was immediate.

statement which he had carefully
prepared. He quoted in turn j. J.
Rousseau and Romain ROLAND. He
said he glorified in his attempt on
tho aged premier and insisted he had
committed Il laudable act, saying:
you may kill me, but you will
not kill the priciple for which shot"
Coffin listened calmly to the presi-
dent OF the court as he read the
sentence and then said:
"I am glad to die for the cause of
the proietariat. If my death will

WANTS EXTRA SESSION,
Speaker Cothran in Favor of Early
Road Lcgislation.

Columbia, March 14.-Should the
rlembers Of the General Assembly
meet with the determination of en-
acting good roads legislation, he Is
in favor Of calling an extraordinary
session, says Thomas p. Cothran, of
Greenville, Speaker of the House of
Representatives. The adoption Of
,he bill for reform in assessments Of
property, said Mr.. Cothran, would se-
cure an additional revenue far in ,ex-
EtessT or the cost Or the ex TIA session.
There has been much agitation
recently for an extraordinary session,
despite the positive statement of
Governor Cooper that he would not
issue the call unless some extraordi-
nary necessity arise for such an oc-
CaSlon. In his statement the Cover
nor took the position, in his opinion,

itself. The friends Of an improved

said:
"lf the members of the General
Assembly determine to pass a good
roads law providing for one-mill tax.

and an assessment on abutting
property owners for reasonable
part of the cost Of concrete roads, al
lowing the counties that have voted
bends credit for the cost Of the work
adopted by the State Highway Com
mission, l should be in favor of an
extra session.
Coupled with this is the very i'm
portant matter Of reform in assess
ments OF property which, If adopted,
would secure an additional revenue
for the State far in excess of the
cost OF an extra session. This effort
should be directed not only to the
equalization Of the burden Of taxa

tax books Of vast amount Of proper

now escaping taxation.

BIG FIGHT OVER LIQUOR.
Pickens County Officers Hurt-One
Negro Seriously Wounded.

Officers in Pickens county last Sun
day ran into bad liquor nest about
two miles north Of Easley, and a
general fight with negro lawbreakers
ensued. The trouble occurred carly
in the afternoon last Sunday, when
county officers went to negro house
reported to them as liquor rem
devious. The officers found four gal
Ions Of liquor during their search
Of the premises and were starting
away from the place when negro
woman made lunge at Rural Police
man Dick Chapman. cutting and
slashing him with a razor. This was
the beginning of the general fight,
eight negroes appearing on the scene,
one Of whom struck Mr.. Chapman
with an axe, presumably using the
handle as his means Of offense. Mr..
Chapman was stunned for the mo-
nent, going partially to the ground,
when his pistol dropped and negro
grabbed 1t. The weapon was turned
on Policeman O'Dell, Of Easley, who
was shot four times. one wound quite
serious, being in the head. one In
the arm, one in the shoulder and
one in the leg.
Four Of the eight negroes were
placed under arrest, the others maxi
ing their escape at the time. Ben
ILovinagood was one Of the four
negroes who escaped, but he was
captured in the mountains Of Pickens
county Tuesday morning by Pickens
county officers, and it was found that
he had been shot in the general fight
the bullet having gone entirely
through his body in the region Of
the stomach. The information that
comes to us is that Lovinggood has
small chance of recovery.
