Says a Conway special to the Columbia Stale: A mammoth whale has been washed ashore near the terminus of the Conway Seashore railroad, and President Burroughs has been running excursions to uccommodate the crowd wisning to see the "big fish." It is 66 feet in length and 24 feet iu breadth. It has in its side a harpoon with about 30 feet of rope attached. The supposition is that it was attacked by a whaling crew and that it escaped but died from the effects of its wounds. To prove to those who did not see it that this was not a "fish story" of the usual type, several took snap shots of the monster. Preacher Kills Stenographer. Quite a sensational homicide oc' curred at Bamberg last Friday morning. Rev. W. E. Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church, shot and iustautly killed Mr. W. T. Belliuger, court sten* r* li! I J ? ...... ograpner. rsemnger naw a rcvuivu and Johnson used a shot gun. Bellinger is thought to have fired the first shot; but this is not certain. Johnson was not hit. Bellinger was riddled with buckshot and died in a few moments. The shooting is generally believed to have been the result of a family feud of some kind ; but the exact nature of this feud is not known. Johnson surrendered to the sheriff shortly after the shooting and is not doing any talking. Homicide Iu Chester. Chester special of May 7, to Columbia Stale: Watchman Lindsay killed Operative Weathers today at the Springsteiu mill, just as the whistle was signaling dinner. As the operatives were leaving their places, Lind say walked up to Weathers, and shot him through the heart with a 38-calibre gun. The deceased caught hold of Lindsay, threw him down and was about to administer a souud clubbing when he rose, staggered back and fell dead upon the floor of the mill. Lind say gave himself up to the sheriff and is now in jail. He is not talking; but says he can show sufficient grounds for acquittal. His attorney, S. E. McFad. ilen, will apply for bail at ouce. Coroner Shannon held an inquest over the body this afternoon and the verdict rendered was that Weathers came to his death from a gunshot wound at the hands of Lindsay. The KusineHH Man In PoIUIch. August Kohu iu News and Courier: The announcements in the various county newspapers and in the daily press again emphasize one thing. Business men, men who have achieved conspicuous success in their own affairs, are not runuing for county and state offices. There must be some reasons for this. Some say that it is because of the couuty to county, precinct to precinct campaigns that are in vogue. A businesss man who will cousent to allow his name to be used .as a candidate for the general assembly thinks that for him to devote a month or more of his time during the session of the general assembly, is doing about as much us he can, and when it comes to going from precinct to precinct to make campaign speeches, it is asking too much. That is no doubt one reason so few well known and successful business and professional men run for county offices, and particularly for the general as sembly, where they are so seriously needed. It is to be uoted, also, that in the last few years practically no business men have run for offices, and it is now being admitted that there would be no injury done the public service if the business interests of the state would take a more active hand in the elections. The fi-st place where business inen are needed, and where there would not be so much tax upon his time and patriotism, is in the general assembly, and iu each county the Democrats would do well to see that successful meu are elected rather than men who merely want to go to Columbia without much idea of what they are to do when they get there. The business and industrial interests of the state are growing very rapidly, and I some means ought to be devised I whereby other than the professional office-seeker and politicians can get to the general assembly. Atlanta's Mayor in Troublk A ( a i n .?Says an Atlanta dispatch of Monday: The city council tonight adopted a resolution callling upon Mayor James (?. Woodward to resign his office. The resolution was the culmination of a sensational sermon last night by Rev. L. G. Broughton, in which the minister made a violent attack on the mayor's personal habits. The resolution calls upon the mayor to resign before the next meeting of the council, two weeks from today. The leader of the opposition to Mr. Woodward says he is in honor bound, under the terms of a statement made last summer, to resign. The mayor tonight declined to say what his action would be. His term expires Jan. 1 next. Has Trampkd Ovkr thk Koutk. ? There is probably but one member of the house who enjoys the distinction of having tramped on foot over both the Panama and Niearauga canal routes. That gentleman is Representative Romeo Hovt Freer, of West Virginia, Yesterday Judge Freer arrived at the capitol early, arrayed in his new spring suit of light grey. He hung his bea ver hat on a peg in the Republican cloakroom, and remained like one glued to his seat from the beginning to the end of the canal debate. Not many years ago Judge Freer was American counsel to Nicaragua, and during his term of office he familiarized himself with the proposed canal routes. Once he traversed the distance between the two oceans with a surveying party of which Commander Lull, of the navy, was at the head, and again he went over the route with only one companion, a New York newspaper man. The trip was mostly through a wild country, and only a part of it was accomplished by canoe. Judge Freer, to compare the advantages of the two courses, likewise took a trip over the Isthmus of Panama, along the line where it is proposed to complete a deep inter?WaoKimftnn Pncf uucmm; UIILU,? ?? oouiubwu * ?.. ?

To York County Prohibitionists : WHILE we are probably as strong in this county as in any other county i?f the state, we are not organized, ami without organization our strength goes for naught. Without organization, two years ago, York county gave 1,338 votes for Featheratone, the Prohibition candidate, against IJifiO for Ellerbe, the dispensary candidate. This is a fair indication of the sentiment that exists amongst us, and there is reason to believe that with a determined purpose in view, all Prohibitionists working to the same end, the cause of alcoholism can be still further restricted in our county and state. Under authority, therefore, that has been duly delegated to me, I hereby call for a Conference of York County Prohibitionists, to be held in the Court House it York ville on Saturday, May 12, at 12 m., for the purpose of perfecting a Conn ty Prohibition organization aim electing delegates to the State Conference to be held in Columbia 011 Mav 2.'?.
