NEGROES AWAIT DEATH.
Two Electrocutions This Month
One Appeal.

Two negroes are scheduled to be
electrocuted at the state penitentiary
this month. Another has been sent
enced to die by this route, but the
execution of the sentence has been
stayed by an appeal to the supreme
court.
Jesse Murphy is now awaiting July
21 as his last day on earth. He was
sentenced to die by electrocution dur
ing the last term of the Richland
court. Murphy killed a negro woman
in 1916 and cut the body into pieces,
placing it in trunk. He escaped and
was not captured until several years
later.
Albert Wilson was sentenced to die
on July s, but his case has been ap-
pealed to the supreme court. Wilson
killed Bryan Butler, a white man,
several months ago on a crowded
street car.
Max Thompson, Lexington county
negro, is under death sentence. He
was to have been electrocuted last
week, but was granted a reprieve by
Governor Cooper. Thompson was con-
victed of attempted criminal assault
on a nine-year-old white girl near
Batesburg. Some doubt seems to exist
as to whether the negro should be
killed. 1t is said that he is only IA
years of age, but on the other hand
those who say they know maintain
he is older. The date for this elec-
trocution is July 23.

propriation and the Republican lead
ers include this in the reduction of
estimates and call it a saving But

Makes Total $5,4O3, ,SeO, ,327.3O.
1T is impossible to tell how many
more similar reductions have been
included in appropriation bills but the
amounts made available for expen-
diture in these three items alone total
100000, which must be added
to the total direct appropriations. In
addition, the expenditure of S72,-
100000 has been authorized in sew
eral bills, but no appropriations have
been made to meet these expendi-
lures. These amounts added to the
direct appropriations make total ex-
penditure by this congress of SIS, o.
0,327.3O.
"Confronted by their record of ex-
travagance, the Republican leaders
vainly endeavor to excuse themselves
by explaining that the estimates Of
the departments were S1,312,417,-
65O.3O in excess of appropriations,
and that therefore they saved this
amount of money. No more ridicu-
lous statement has ever been made by
a. public official.
'FIf such a reduction constitutes a
saving the last Democratic congress is
entitled to special commendation, for
that congress reduced the estimates
of the departments for the fiscal year
1918 by S5,554,161,59S.31." New

Augusta, July T.-M. D. DoIIlCh,
messenger for the American Railway
Express Co., who lives at 936 Broad
street, Ernest Hart, Stovall street,
and w. J. Quatflebaum, living about
seven and a half miles from Augusta
on the new Savannah road, yesterday
confessed to the robbery of the Char
lesion and Western Carolina train
that left Augusta at 5:15 last We'd
nesday morning and the theft of the
payroll of the marine corps, amount
ing to s59,725. A considerable por-
tion of the money has been recovered,
but there is reason to believe that
the officers have not recovered more
than a third of it.
Special agents of the express COM
pany appeared before U. S. Comn1is-
sioner C. ]. Skinner, Jr., last night
and put a detainer of SIS, 600 on
each of the defendants for violation
of section Al and others, of the fed
eral penal code, for embezzling OF
government funds, conspiracy to OBJ
tain government funds, and larceny OF
money in interstate commerce. This
means that if the trio should make
bond on the state charge, supposi-
ton that seems very unlikely, they
will have to meet to additional bond
of $4,000 before they can be re-
leased.
The arrest of the three men was
the result of some of the cleverest po-
lice work ever pulled off in this Sec
tion of the country. There were num-
erous express superintendent and
special agents of the express COM
pany working on the case, as well as
the sheriff and county police, aHd the
express men speak in the highest
terms of the work of the sherif and
his men. On the other hand, the sher-
iff gives much of the credit to the

Harris Arrest.
The arrest of Hart occurred Friday
morning. Derrick was arrested about
thirty minutes later on Campbell
street, and Quattlebaum, the last OF
the trio, was taken into custody
shortly after 4:30 yesterday morning
bv county officers who watched his
home on the new Savannah road from
midnight that night until the arrest
was made.
In pile of cotton seed hulls IN
Ouattlebaum's barn the officers re-
covered s16,340. They also recover
ed the silver money, nickles and pen
nies in Butler 's.Creek swamp about a
fourth of a mile south of the OLD
Savannah road at CarmichaePs cross
ing. Yesterday afternoon Ernest
Hart, or "Pete," as he is KNOWN
brought the express men and county
officers to a place where he said ne
had buried $4,000, but no sign OF it
could be found. Hart said he had
buried it there.

The Camp Fire girls and their
chaperones, who have been making
headquarters at the Community club
left for their homes last Tuesday
They have been having royal out
ing, and left with the unanimous vote
that the town people had treated
them royalty and henceforth, this
beautiful city by the sea would be
their camping ground.
It certainly was an inspiration to
see the unity and harmony in which
this organization works, and the deep
interest the guardians and chaperones
take in the girls. Sunday from three
to five song services were conducted
at the club, Mrs. Mathis presiding
at the piano, after which the ladies
of the town kindly donated cars for
the use of the girls.

plenty of shade and are close to the
water where the swimming is good.
