SENTENCES FOUR MEN TO CHAIR
Quartete OF Negro Murderers Will Die
October 10.

Greenville, Sept. 6-An impressive
scene was enacted in the Greenville
County courthouse here this after
noon in the presence of a crowd of
spectators when four negroes were

Tiff Patterson, who provided a posse
composed of Deputy Sheriff Hubbard,
Chief of Police Cunningham, Rural
Policeman Jackson. State Officer
Kelly and Special Constable Peele and
also Special Constable Walter Mccall,
who had been cooperating and assist
ing P. B. RogArs. Kelly joined the
party after midnight last night and
Sheriff Patterson was taken i'll with
an attack of appendicitis and Deputy
Hubbard had TO return to Bennett
vile with Sheriff Patterson.
1t was thought that the parties were
in a house mar where the distilleIy
was and Ke ly and Jackson were de-
tailed to approach from the front,
while Rogers, Mccall, Cunningham
and Peele made a circuit route and
managed to surround the house. One
of the inmates threw open the door
and as he did so, had his pistol in
hand and covered Chief Cunningham,
but Mccall and others had him SOW
cred with a shotgun and seeing the
situation he Immediately dropped his
pistol After the arrest of those men,
who are said to be from Robson
county, North Carolina, and from
what is known as Scuffle Town, the
scene of the operations of the cele-'
brated Lowry gang, the distillery was
seized. The distillery was located
some distance in the swamp, which
was almost impossible. An inventory
showed 60 gallon copper still, 500
pounds of sugar, 1000 gallons of
mash, ready for distilling. two auto
mobiles, Ford and Buick and sew
eral pistols. One of the men escaped,
the other five were brought to Ben
nettsville and are now in Jail.

stock of goods at $4,000. The tax
commissions figure is $4,000.
A large wholesale concern in the
lower Gervais street vicinity returned
its stock of goods at $4,000. The
tax value at S20,150, more than four
times as much.
A retail jewellery store in the city
returned it's stock at S3,250. This the
tax commission increased to 3,610.
There are many such instances.
The smaller mercantile establish
ments of the county are the ones
whose returns came nearer to the fig
ures as reached by the tax commits
sion, this possibly being due, accord
ing to a member Of the tax commits
sion, to the fact that the smaller con-
cern is more nearly able to reach i
correct estimate of the stock of goods
it carries. The larger concerns find
this difficult, and the failure to re
turn the goods at the value does not
necessarily, stated the commissioner,
mean an effort on the part of the mer
chant to avoid taxation. The fact that
the tax commissions figures are
based on sworn statements furnished
by the merchants themselves is an in
dication, stated the commissioner,
that they are desirous of co-operat-
ing with the officials in reaching the
proper basis for an equalization of
taxes.
One small merchant of the county
returned his little stock of goods at
a value of $3.50. This the tax COM
mission raised by several dollars. An
other, who returned his goods at the
same figure, had his assessment re-
duced to s145.
One Big Reduction.
The one striking instance of where
merchants assessment was reduc-
ed is that of Main street dry goods
merchant in Columbia, one of the
prominent mercantile establishments
of the city, whose goods were return
ed at valuation of S39,400. The
tax commission reduced this to $685.
655. The merchant had made a re-
turn that was higher than the AZ per
cent value of the goods.
The basis on which the tax COM
is endeavoring to equalize
taxes is AZ per cent. This adjustment
of the assessments for Richland coun
ty will mean saving to the county
of $9,413,6S. The equalization of
taxes on mercantile stocks alone this
year will bring to the county treas
ury that much more money than the
same taxes brought last year.

OFFICERS CAPTURE STILL.
Sheriff Lane and Deputy Britt Seize
Complete Outfit Near Hamer..

No longer are the mountains of
western North Carolina the haunt and
habitat of the moonshiner. The fine
art of making the liquid joy has
has spread from mountain to sea-
shore and it is not uncommon these
days to hear of a still being seized in
the centre of culture and refinement.
Dillon county is not an exception
and the Illicit traffic is going on here
the same as elsewhere. Last week
Sheriff Lane and Deputy Britt ran
across full-fledged outfit right near
the town of Hamer ard only a stones
throw from church ana school house.
The plant was not in operation, but
everything was in readiness for the
manufacture of the vile concoction
men are making these days and call
ing whiskey. The boiler was made
of an ordinary tin can holding about
five gallons and the worm was run
through an ordinary wash tub.
The outfit was concealed in a
branch and the officers took it up
to the nearest house where a little
boy unwittingly told who it belonged
to. The officers arrested Manton AL
ford, colored but his associates es-
capped.

ROUGH SHEDDING FOR NIER-

to prepare the merchants for the

will give the Dillon county merchant
an idea OF what is TO come and if he

better get his system in good shape
to stand the ordeal. Auditor Allen
has nothing to do with fixing the
assessments. They are fixed by the
tax commission and his instructions
are to carry out the orders of the COM
mission. This from a Columbia paper
shows what's coming:
Quite a number of merchants in
Columbia viii pay nearly twice the
taxes in 1919 that they paid in 1918
under the new assessment values
fixed by the state tax commission on
the merchandise of mercantile estab-
ishments in Richland county. The
total increase Of assessments for the
county as made by the tax commits
sion, is over million dollars-$1,-
$45,965. This means saving for the
county of oyer $4,000.

they were to pay taxes for this year.
The tax commission by its recent eff
fort at eQualizing the assessments on
mercantile stocks in the county. has
increased this total to S2,356,SSO, al
most twice as much.
Some of the merchants of Richland
county have had their assessments in
creased several times over. Others
have had their returns doubled, ard
In a few cases the assessments have
been reduced. However, such cases
are few.
One prominent hardware merchant
returned the value of lis stock of
goods at $4,000. The tax commits
sion increased this according to fig
ures furni he'd by the merchant him
self, to $123.690, which is AZ per
cent of full value.
A prominent dry goods merchant
on Main street returned his goods at
$4,000. This the tax commission
raised to over $4,000.
A large drug establishment of the
city returned its stock of goods at
valuation of s50,000, but the tax
commission raised 1t to $113 ass.
A prominent distributing concern
returned the value of its stock of
goods at $4,000, which figure was
changed by the commission to s53,-

CUYOT HAS TAKEN
 OVER THE WRICLEY

N. E. Guyot, who arrived from San Francisco Thursday night, reports having taken over the mining proper ty of the Wrigley Sulphide company, situated in IXL Basin, about 16 miles north of Kingman. A deed was re- corded yesterday conveying all the in terest in the property to him. It is the intention of MT. Guyot to at once organize mining company for the further exploration of the mines and the financing of the treasury. The new company will start off with a most desirable mining property, the main shaft on the mines having been carried down 800 feet and some later al work done. A tunnel driven into the vein at point about 1900 feet west of the main shaft shows a won- derful vein with a good body of high grade lead ore carrying values in gold and silver. At other points along the big vein system there are shewings of lead, copper, gold and silver, the vein being we'll mineralized wherever opened.
 The camp, established near the main shaft, is one of the most ideally situated and comfortable camps in the country. A good road leads from the main wagon road to the mines.

CATHERINE MINE
 TO START DRIFTING

The work of retimbering and relin- ing the Catherine shaft has been com pleted and the management is now awaiting the arrival of the new skip before starting the drifts from the End and Sd levels. The 1st level has been carried off 300 feet and this will be continued in the ore body. The other levels will be driven through the fault to the ore, which was picked up on the , first level after driving through the big fault. The ore body on this level is large, crosscuts. show ing 33 feet of rich mill stuff. Some of the ore is exceptionally rich, but it is the intention of the company to mill the whole mass, and a milling plant with that intention in view will be erected on the property soon.

INSTRUMENTATION
 STARTS OPERATIONS

About fifteen men are now at work on the Washington Arizona mine and mill and it is expected that this prop erty will soon be turning out concen- trates. The Washingtn mine has large tonnage of ore opened and with the opening of stopes will be in position to make large output of milling stuff. The average of the ore is high and there is no reason why the company cannot start off in fine shape. The management of the property is in excellent hands and the future development of the mines has been mapped out so that reserves will keep pace with mill demands.
 The Washington mine is situated above the old Keystone, which was one of the large producers of Mineral Park camp in the early days, and is in the same general formation. The ores carry values in gold and silver, the silver occurring as ruby and and in the arsenical iron. The shoots are long and have been followed under the mountain several hundred feet. A shaft has been carried down some dis tance 'on the vein and is equipped with hoist and other machinery. The power used is carried in from the main power line of the Desert Power company, which gives the mine and mill ideal power for all purposes.
 F. F. G. Berry is in charge of the property, having closed up the deal with the old company and Moyle Brothers, who were the owners of in- terests aside from the company hold ings.
