ESCAPE OF M. r. REECE.
Mania for Chewing Gum Helps Him
to Get Away.

York, March I'm. r. Reece,
wealthy man, was convicted of mur-
der and sentenced to hang in the Jail
here twenty-three years ago. Reece
developed a mania for chewing gum
after his conviction and he chewed
81 worth a day.
The day before he was to be hang
ed, he made his escape through hole
in the wall with the aid of a drill
still in the possession of officials.
He worked on it many days, using the
chewing gum to hide his work day
to day.
Sheriffs have come and gone since
Reece's escape and have spent hum
dreds of dollars of the county's mon
ey travelling to various sections OF
the country where he was reported
to be in captivity.
Report is that Reece is now III
Mexico. The county refuses to spend
any more money in Investigation. II
Reece is in Mexico, he is safe.

son KILLS FATHER.
Wife and Daughter of Dead Man Say
Act Was Necessary.

Columbia, March 4.-Floyd T.
Meetze shot and almost instantly
killed his father, Joseph NJ. Meetze,
last night shortly after 10 o'clock
The shooting occurred in Floyd
Meetze's room and was witnessed by
his mother and his sister. Meetze
used 38 caliber Colt pistol and af-
ter the shooting two chambers were
empty. A loaded cartridge was be-
tween the empty shells. Coroner
Scott, Sheriff Heise and Deputy Sher-
if Thompson hurried to the scene of
the killing and after conducting an in
vestigation brought Floyd Meetze to
the county Jail. He was delivered to
the jailer at 1 o'clock this morning.
The Meetze home is located in Col
lege Place almost Immediately in
front of the terminal of the street
car line. Mrs. Meetze, widow of
Joseph Meetze, said last night that
her husband had attempted to kill
her son and that Floyd Meetze had
to kill his father. She said Floyd
Meetze was in his room when the
father went there and grabbed him
by the throat. Mrs. Metze said the
father had the son on the floor chok-
ing him, saying, "I will beat out your
brains on the floor" She said she
endeavored to pull her husband off
of her son and she heard the pistol
shot. She could not tell if one or
two shots were fired. Miss Rosa
Meetze, sister of Floyd Meetze and
daughter Of Floyd Meetze, said she
was in the room and witnessed the
killing. She, too, said the son was
forced to kill his father.

SENDS CHLOROFORM
TO BICHAM, CHARGE
MRS. BIGHAM PLACED UNDER
ARREST AT FLORENCE.
Intercepted BY Jailer
Sufficient Amount to Cause Death of
Prisoner, Physicians
Declare.

Florence, March 11.-Mrs. May
Bigham was arrested here tonight.
charged with attempting to convey
to her husband, E. D. Bigham, small
bottle containing sufficient chloro-
form, according to physicians, to
cause death.
The arrest was made at the Allan.
tic Coast Line passenger station as
Mrs. Bigham was preparing to take
the train for Greenville. Deputy Sher-
if Burch did not read the warrant to
her by request until they had reached
the jail, Mrs. Bigham being accompa-
MED by her daughters, the Misses
Louise and Evelyn.
The bottle of chloroform did not
reach Bigham, being intercepted by
Jailor J. E. Cook, working through
one of the trusted prisoners, to whom
Mrs. Bigham delivered it to be con-
veyed by him to her husband.
In the past several weeks Jailor
Cook has in the same manner inter-
cepted several notes written by Big
ham to his wife.
Edmund Bigham is in Jail here
awaiting trial On the charge of MUIR
der of his mother, Mrs. M. M. Big
ham; his sister, Mrs. Margiel A.
Black; his brother, l.. S. Bigham,
and John and Leo McCracken, two
adopted children of Mrs. Black, at
the plantation home, near Pamblico,
January Is. 1t was at first thought
that L. S. Bigham had perpetrated
the crime and then killed himself,
but after investigation Coroner Smith
ordered the arrest of the living broth
er,r charging him with the crime.
Before her marriage to Bigham
Mrs. Bigham was Miss. May James, OF
Greenville.

YOUNG FARMER is KILLED.
Shooting Accidental, Accused Man
Claims.

Orangeburg, March 11.-Wednes-
day night, at the home of J. A. jeff
coat, in the northeastern section of
this county about five miles from
Orangeburg and about five miles
from North, J. A. Jeffcoat, farmer,
shot and killed Estes Cook, it is al
legged. Jeffcoat is about forty-ive
years old, while Cook was twenty
two years of age.
From information received in this
city it seems that Cook and several
other friends of Jeffcoat went to JEFF
coats house for supper. During the
night several of the party went out
into a field near Jeffcoat's house and
about that time some one took the
headlight of the automobile and
threw it out in the section of the field
where Cook and several others had
gone. Jeffcoat is said to have shot
in that direction to scare those in the
field, with no intention at all of hit
ting any one, and Jeffcoat claims the
shooting was purely accidental. All
the parties are white and Well-to-do
farmers in that section of the county.
This (Thursday) afternoon Jeffcoat
was brought to Orangeburg by Rural
Policeman E. NJ. Inabinet and turned
over to Sheriff Dukes.

TOLBERT TO DISPENSE PIE.
Leader of Irregular" Republican Par.
ty in State.

Columbia, March 11.-Jos. W. Toll
bert, of Ninety-six, leader of the
regular" Repub blican party in South
Carolina, will be the dispenser Of the.
Republican patronage, according to
information brought from Washing
ton by several prominent South Caro-
linians, one of whom is well-known
lawyer, close friend of Mr.. Tolbert,
who attended the inaugural ceremon-
les and had first-hand conferences
with Republican leaders in the CAPT.
tol. According to this attorney and
others familiar with the situation
and in connection with Washington
and also with Mr.. Tolbert, the Ninety
six Republican leader has his "slate"
prepared and, if he is finally selected
to pass the pie, will recommend per-
sons already picked for the several
important offices of the state.
For the position Of collector of in
ternal revenue Mr. Tolbert has slated
it is stated, his brother, "Red" R.
Tolbert, of Abbeville county. This is
one of the most important plums in
the state.
For district attorney Of the up
per western district of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Tolbert has selected Err
nest F. Cochrane, of Anderson, form
er. United States attorney, and it is
stated that Mr.. Cochrane will accept
the appointment.
For district attorney of the Eastern
district no selection has been made.
It is stated that the Republican ma
chine is having difficulty in finding a
man to take this position. 1t was
offered, it is said, to former Governor
Blease, but he has asked that some
one else be selected.
Major J. F. Jones, Of Blacksburg,
has been selected as marshall OF the
western district, to succeed Mr.. Lyon,
and S. J. Leaphart, Of Lexington, is
slated for marshall Of the eastern dis
trict to succeed Mr.. Sims, of Orange
burg, it is said.
It is not known yet who will be
considered for the postohices, in case
Mr.. Tolbert is the patronage dispen-
ser. but it is stated that for the Co.
Iumbia postoffice woman will likely
receive the regular Republican en-
dorsement. A negro is expected to DO
annointed as collector of the port in
Charleston.
There has been considerable politl-
cal gossip throughout the state re-
Gently, following publications from
Washington of excerps from letters
from prominent Democrats Of Colum-
hia and other parts Of the state, en-
dorsing Chairman Blalock, of Cold
VILE. of the so called lilly white"
Republican party In the state, as dis
penser of patronage, the idea being
TO recognize a Republican party in
the state that will be wholly OF the
white race. However, it is generally
believed by persons familiar with ma
tional politics, that such course
would not be successful, due to the
large number of negroes In the state
who can not be ignored by the nation
