to Have Become Enraged With Jealousy When His Wife
Was Found Sitting in Another Man's Lap.
Emma Fryer, the wife of E<l String

Inflicted yesterday afternoon by

as Is known has been an ordinarily

Pollock and Jennings Absent
at Monks Corner. Only
Blease and Smith Speak.
Monks Corner, S. C.—One of the
smallest crowds of the cumpaign for
the United States senate, about 400,
heard two of the candidates, says a
special to the Atlanta Journal. Sen
ator E. D. Smith and Governor Cole L.
Illease, speak here Tuesday. A decid
ed majority 'of the audience was anti-
Blease, although the governor carried
Berkley County two years ago. W. P.
Pollock and L. D. Jennings were ab
eent. The former wired his regrets, j
"especially In view of yesterday’s
meeting," stating that he would be at
Manning tomorrow.
Senator Smith was tendered a dem
onstration by many of his Berkley,
supporters, practically all farmers.
He rode to the meeting sealed on a
baJe of cotton In a wagon drawn by
four mules. The parade was led by
a band from Charleston, a long string
of buggies following.
The senator made about his usual
speech, which the crowd listened to
attentively. He discussed the present
cotton situation, as the result of the
war tn Europe, and his effort* to aid
the farmers tn the criet*. concluding
with the declaration that an tnspec- !
tlon of hi* record would show that ho
haa kept ht* promises and predicting
Ills re-election.
Blease Claims Victory,
Governor Blease declared that con
servative estimate*, baaed on reports
from Ids leaders In every county,
ahow that he will be nominated In the
primary next Tuesday, by not less
than from six to seven thousand, per
haps from fourteen to fifteen thousand
majority. He charged the antl-
Bleaaeltes with appealing to faction
alism. displaying an advertisement
appearing tn acme newspaper* urging
the people to vote for Richard I. Man
ning. of Sumter, "the anti-Uleaac can
didate." for governor.
When Governor Blease charged that
F. F. McLeod, a prominent business
man of Charleston and supporter of
Ktnator Smith, had paid for the ser
vices of the hand in the Smith parade.
Mr McLeod approached the stand and
declared th# governor’s statement un
true. and that the band had been paid
for with money raised among Senator
Bmlth’a friend* tn Berkley County.
Latter the chairman read a *tate
ment signed by eight Berkley County
citlsen* who declared that they hud
fumUhed the money to secure the
band.
The governor declared that if o:i r v

it is saiil that she was sitting In a
negro man’s lap at the quarry. On
the Impulse of the moment Stringer
drew a long knife and with all his
might jabbed it into the woman’s
hack, clear up to the end of the blade,
it is said. Had he been able to pull
it out and stab her again it is claimed
that he probably would have killed
her.
Before the weapon could be with
drawn It was necessary to chloroform
the woman.
Stringer consented to return to
South Carolina without requisition pa
pers and was taken to Jail at Aiken,
where he Is being held pending the

have discussed "issues, facts and fig
ures,’’ but that somebody put two
hirelings in the race to help Smith.
Attacks Smith's Record.
In making his usual attack on Sen
ator Smith's record the governor re
peated the charge that the senator
had voted to pay $2,000 to the family
of a negro who had been lynched,
whereupon Senator Smith explained
that such provision was in the consti
tution of 1895, and had been put there
by Senator Benjiman R. Tillman; that
said provision did not contain the
word "negro;” that a jury would have
to pass on such a suit and that he was
as much opposed as any other white
man to paying a verdict under such
circumstances and that his attitude
while a member of the legislature to
ward this provision was one of pro.
lection for the family of a white man
who might be lynched for other than
the crime referred to by the governor.
The executive replied that Senator
Tillman was not infallible; that this
provision was the biggest mistake
Senator Tillman ever made, and that
when an effort was made to repeal it
Senator Cmlth voted against the re
peal.
PRETENDING TO BE WHAT
SHE WASN'T, GOT “IN BAD"
Annie Roberts, Colored Ser
vant for Mrs. Gibson, Ordered
Groceries in Employer’s Name
Presenting herself as Mrs! Gibson.
Innle Roberts, who Is, as a matter of
fact, Mrs. Glßson's servant girl, about
19 years of age, called up Boyle's gro
cery and meat market yesterday, ac
cording to the police, and ordered a
lot of groceries, telling the store
keeper. or whoever answered the
phone, that Mrs. Gibsou was sending
her servant down to bring back the
ai tide*.
Forthwith Annie hies herself to the
store for the groceries, thinking pos
sibly that she would lay In a nice
supply at the expense of her em
ployer. She had ordered sugar. 25
cents; a steak, 25 cents; ham, $2.22:
dozen eggs, SO cents, and a pound of
butter, 49 cents.
Mrs. Gibson had only been buying
meat from Boyle’s and this made the
storekeeper suspect something wrong.
He told the negro girl when she ar
rived for the groceries that he would
call up Mrs. Gibson, and as he started
t< the telephone the negro girl made
for the front door. She caught a
street car, but wag closely pursued by
a clcrq from the store, who also pick
ed up a policeman in the chase. Pret
tv soon she wa* apprehended and sent
to police barracks. There she firmly
maintained her Innocence, saying that
she knew' nothing whatever about it.
After Chief Detective Whittle ques
tioned her in his private office rather
closely, she told what »he had done, or
rather tried to do.
Annie Is now held (or a tnisdea
