France last Saturday suffered an, other marine disaster and lost her fourth submarine when the Vendemiaire, in the mimic warfare off Cherbourg peninsula was crushed down by the battleship Saint Louis and disappeared In 150 feet of water. The submarine was undoubtedly ripped apart by the steel prow of the Datneship, and all hope has been abandoned of saving the crew. An official statement issued by the minister of marine this evening fixes the number of men aboard as twenty-three, including the commander, Lieut Prioul. and Ensign Andic. Although a board of inquiry was appointed, it is said that no blame attaches to the Saint Louis, the submarine came to the surface directly under the battleship's bow and the collision was unavoidable. The other submarines lost were the Lutln, the Faradet and Pluvoise. ? Seattle, Washington, June 8: Three slumbering volcanoes in the Aleutian range of Alaska suddenly have come to life, and are throwing out great quantities of smoke and hot ashes. The awakened peaks are Illiama and Redoubt, in the Cook Inlet country, and Katmai, which overlooks Shelikof strait. It is likely that Bogoslof, Shlshaldin and Pavloflf, which are active volcanoes and much further west, are also spouting flames. Dispatches from the north say he volcanoes are emitting lava and nicks, but the discharge from the Alaska craters usually is only ashes and smoke, and it is hoped there will be no loss of 1'fe. Apparently Kodiak and its neighboring islands have been covered by ashes. The cable dispatches received tonight report the situation as more serious. St. Augustine, as well as Illiama and Redoubt are in eruption on the west shore of Cook Inlet, but these three will do small damage, as their ashes do not cover Indian towns. As soon as it is possible to operate wireless instruments the revenue cutters will be asked to go to the relief of the people in the volcano districts. It is expected that the whole of the waters along the Alaska peninsula and the Aleutian Islands will require a new survey because of a readjustment of the ocean floor. Including Indians, it is estimated that 1,500 persons are in peril. It is the height of the salmon canning season and large crews of men are engaged in Ashing and canning. ? Raleigh, N. C., June 8: After an all night session the state Democratic convention elected delegates at large to the Baltimore convention, and by a vote of 503 to 396 indorsed Gov. Woodrow Wilson's candidacy. The delegates were uninstructed, but six are said to favor Gov. Wilson and two are said to be neutral. The convention was a tumultuous one and adjourned at 6.39 o'clock this morning. Each delegate will have a half vote. The convention battled until after midnight last night over the nomination of a state ticket and a resolution indorsing North Carolina's state officers and representatives in congress. Friends of Gov. Kitchen vainly endeavored to prevent the indorsement of the record of Senator Simmons, whom the governor is opposing for reelection. Locke Craig was unanimously nominated for governor and candidates for other state offices were chosen without opposition, except E. L. Draughtridge, for lieutenant gov uriciiuani i vptroruitu iiiuiovii. ? t? .? available seat in the court room was taken long before the hour for the hearing to begin and standing room was soon at a premium. When Mr. Watson entered the room he was greeted with vociferous applause by a decidedly pro-Watson crowd. Marshal White warned the crowd at the time that they would have to be quiet. Not another outburst came until Mr. Watson was defending himself. He said that if the questions printed and which he claims are asked by priests in the confessional are obscene, what about the priests asking them of virtuous young women? The applause at this juncture was deafening and the commissioner adjourned the hearing to his private office, excluding all save principals, court officials and newspaper men. Mr. Watson stated at the outset that the warrant should not have been sworn out against him personally anyway, and that if there was sufficient ground for a warrant it should have been sworn out against the Jeffersonian Publishing company, a corporation. He asked that his magazines not be submitted in evidence on this ground. ' but was overruled. The proposition of ascertaining who was his accuser also disturbed Mr. Watson, and he said that he was being tried without knowing who the person was who was behind the prosecution. Mr. Watson also said that there was animus behind the warrant, as oiher papers are printing the sanfb things he is and they are not disturbed by t' law. Mr. Akertnan i rather heatedly .-plied to Mr. Watson that he himself was responsible for the prosecution. The motive which prompted him to publish the alleged obscene matter was offered as an excuse by Mr. Watson, who said that he was publishing the series on the "Roman Catholic Hierarchy" for the upj lift of mankind, and he read from a number of books and referred to others in which there was obscenity, but which were not considered obscene be cause of the motives for which the.v ' were written. Mr. Watson also refer- | red to copying from copyrighted books, but the district attorney said that any- ' one can get a copyright for anything 1 by establishing the fact that he is.the i author. Mr. Akerman contended that , the United States supreme court decisions do not take into consideration the 1 motives in sending obscene matter, but that anything which tends to deprave is considered obscene by the courts. Jhf ^(otiu'ilk (Itujuiw. | Entered at the Postofflce In YorKyille as Mail Matter of the Second Class. TORKVILLE, S. C.i TUESDAY, JUNE 11,' 1912 The Taft people have a majority of the Republican executive committee and that means they have control of the steam roller. ernor, and George P. Pell, tor longterm corporation commissioner, who won after hard fighting. The eight delegates at large are: Ex-Gov. R. B. Glenn. W. C. Dowd, E. J. Justice, Gen. Julian S. Carr, Maj. E. J. Hale, A. W. McLean, W. C. Hammer and Lieut. Gov. W. C. Newland. Francis W. Winston and C. Ellis Gardner were chosen for electors at large. ? Washington, D. C. June 8: Six feet, 7 inches tall, with a weight of about 200 pounds, William X. Surratt, alias William Broadus, colored, 40 years old, manslayer and ex-convict, and believed to be the tallest prisoner ever taken in custody by the Washington police department, will leave tnis city in care of Sheriff John Coyle for Gaffney, S. C. Beside the giant prisoner, Coyle who is but five feet, five inches tall and weighs not more than 150 pounds, looks like a midget, but the diminutive sheriff is armed with handcuffs and a six shooter, automatic revolver and he declares that if he does not deliver the prisoner safely at Gaffney he is willing to admit incapability of holding his office. Detective Sergeant James Springman, one of the smallest men in stature in the central office, arrested Surratt Saturday afternoon in 7th street between P. and Q streets, when the giant was armed with a razor. When Springman, alone and without any help in sight, calmly walked up to the towering man and placed him under arrest he gave a decisive reply to queries as td whether policemen earn their money, demonstrate bravery, etc. Springman hailed a passing auto and in the machine the prisoner was conveyed to police headquarters. There the razor was found in his pocket. He was disarmed and charged with carrying concealed weapons in order that he might be held until word could be sent to the South Carolina authorities. Sheriff Coyle arrived yesterday and will leave with the prisoner as soon as the proper papers arrive. Nine years ago, Sarratt, in a dispute over ten cents after a game of craps, drew a knife and stabbed Ridge Hale, also colored, to death. Hale was cut in thirty places. Surratt was sentenced to five years, but after being in jail a year he sawed his shackles with a file and escaped. He has been living in Washington eight years, working as a hod carrier. Since he arrived here he married and has two children. ? Augusta, Ga.. June 7: At the conclusion of a court session lasting for two hours and twenty minutes, Thomas E. Watson, the McDuffle county publisher, was bound over to the Federal court in the sum of $500 by Commissioner W. H. Godwin here today. District Attorney Alexander Akerman represented the government and the hlmaoir Ci^rv Is it really a fact that the only issue in the gubernatorial race is one of men? The Enquirer is unable to see it that way. Col. Roosevelt has contrived to let it be known that he will not bolt the Republican party If he gets the Chicago nomination, which is very reassuring. There are many points of resemblance between the present political situation and that of 1890, except that the main issue is not quite so sharply defined. The Lancaster News wants to hire the Anderson Daily Mail to make The Enquirer declare itself for governor. It seems to us that the News should get busy and give somebody some reason why. Although we think Senator Lorimer ' 1 J wa holiovp hp will SI1UU1U I1UI uc oramu, .. v. win when the matter comes to a vote on July 6. Most of the senators who voted for Lorimer's vindication before will do so again. The Chicago convention is only furnishing another illustration of how all political conventions are run?a few w-ire pullers who are able to do so hoodwink the other fellows, and call the final results "the will of the majority." While it Is very much to be deplored that candidates are lied about sometimes, and which lying is not creditable to the people who indulge in the practice, still it is a fact that lies do very little real harm. It is the truth' [only that hurts, and it is the truth that most people are afraid of. Counsel for the defense In the Hawkins case spent a good deal of time flaying the press for the publicity it gave the matter. Well, it will have to be admitted that if it had not been for the press the whole horrible affair would have been hushed up long ago. Why, even the counsel for the defense would not have been able to get a job out of it. The Anderson Daily Mail thinks that Ed DeCamp would be a good man for secretary of state because that official has nothing to do but sit in his office all day with a negro to black his shoes. Anybody ought to know that De Camp is not going to submit to a shoe blacking operation when there is any baseball in progress. The South Carolina Press Association is holding its annual meeting In Spartanburg. The members began to assemble yesterday evening, and their business programme continues through today, concluding with a banquet at the Finch hotel tonight. Tomorrow a large party of editors and their friends will start on another trip on the C. C. & O. railroad and will be gone, for three days, covering practically the same ground that was covered two years ago. "If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he would insist on a currency system elastic enough to meet the needs of a great industrial and commercial nation, but absolutely fortified against a central control and the influence of coteries and leagues of banks, to which it is now in constant danger of being subjected."?Governor Wilson. Since this is a very important matter and since Thomas Jefferson is not here to attend to it, it is up to other big ^Inoiutintr a tirl un tf? thP people generally to see that the thing goes. It is being talked now that Maj. Hemphill's resignation from the editorship of the Charlotte Observer came about as the result of his connection with the Harvey-Wilson matter. When the big interests that were trying to groom Woodrow Wilson through Mr. Harvey began to realize that Wilson was not their kind, they i decided that it was desirable to try to undo what they had done for Wilson's political benefit. That Harper's Weekly, Harvey's paper, was not the place for operations, was clear for obvious reasons, so after considering the whole situation it was decided that the Charlotte Observer would suit the purpose in hand better. As to how the Observer backed up the efforts of Mr. Watterson and others in the plan to put Governor Wilson out of the running is fresh 1 in the recollection of the readers of that paper. Says a Hendersonville, N. C., dispatch of last Thursday: W. A. Smith, counsel for the defense in the Hawkins case, wept during his argument here today, and stated that "not for righteousness' sake, but to satisfy the clamor of the public for innocent blood," his clients had been placed on trial. He strongly denounced the press for the publicity given to the case, the parents of the dead girl for the reward offered and the state for supplementing that reward, and the officers and counsel for the state for their prosecution. Attorney J. P. Spainhour spoke for the state, gently deriding the attitude of Mr. Smith. Now is it not all too bad that the pul lie should be clamoring for innocent blood? It is enough to make anybody weep. And the horrible newspapers, the dead girl's parents and the state of North Carolina, why should they not have left this murder alone neatly covered up as they found it? There is no use meddling with such things, and except on account of the newspapers seeking to satiate a bloodthirsty public there would be Bo fuss about such purely private matters. There would not even be any demand Tor the services of such a shallow hypocrite as the fellow who made such a plea, and fellows like him would be forced into other lines of knavery for subsistence. Yes, really, it is all too bad. If Tom Watson is guilty of sending obscene matter through the mails he should be punished; but from what we have seen about the case the charges against the editor of the Jeffersonian are absurd. Watson has been attacking the Roman Catholic church. What he has been doing it for Is none of our business, and we do not care. But in his attacks, as we understand it, he has reproduced "in Latin," certain quotations that priests ask female penitents at confessional. The reproduction of these quotations are held to be obscene. Watson has claimed that there was no obscenity in his motive; but the district attorney holds that this has nothing to do with the matter. That is where we cannot agree. There is nothing obscene in the Holy Bible?not in a criminal sense. But the man of low motives who revels in obscenity, can find obscenity there without limit. Roman Catholics, we believe object to tne 100 puDuc use 01 me oiwe uui uu one else does. ROOSEVELT OR TAFT? Everything Depends Upon Action of Republican Executive Committee. Chicago, June 9.?The Republican national committee will resume tomorrow morning Its consideration of the large number of contests for places on the temporary roll.of the Republican national convention which Is to convene in the coliseum at noon Tuesday of next week. Upon the results of its deliberations depends, (o a great extent the control of the convention and therefore thve nominations which it will make for the offices of president and vice president of the United States, to say nothing of the lesser matters of the organization of the convention and the text of the platform. The contests in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Georgia which were decided last week, added a total of 72 delegates to the strength credited to T*aft. Whether it foretold a "steam roller" policy of "giving the whole business to Taft," as the Roosevelt adherents now claim; or whether the contests still to be decided will give some to Taft and some to Roosevelt is a matter of much speculation and bitter interchange between the leaders. To Consider Indiana. It seemed likely tonight that the Indiana cases, involving 12 delegates ?four at large and two each in the First, Third, Fourth and Thirteenth congressional districts?would be taken up first when the committee meets at 10 a. m. but the cases from Arizona (six delegates at large) and form the Fourth district of California (two delegates) which were postponed, may be considered before Indiana. The vital importance of the decisions of the national committee on the contests is apparent to anyone studying the lists of delegates. Such study incidentally discloses the great weight which may attach to the 26 delegates from Wisconsin and 10 from North Dakota, instructed for La Follette, and the 10 from Iowa, instructed for Cummins. There is no reconciling the conflicting claim of the Taft and Roosevelt managers regarding the respective strength of their followings; each Is figuring into his tables delegations emphatically claimed by the other on the strength of convention indorsements, alleged pledges and other more or less substantial grounds. -* Facts and Figuras. Reasonably dependable, however, seem the figures collected by the Associated Press from which can be derived what may be described as the "bare bones" of the situation. These figures, which are unofficial and by no means guaranteed, are as follows: Whole number of delegates 1,078. Necessary for nomination. 540. Instructed for Roosevelt and uncontested, 411. Instructed for Taft and uncontested. 201. Instructed for La Follette (no con4 \ Of? icsio;. DO, Instructed for Cummins (no contests) 10. Unlnstructed (including New York's 90) 166. Contested, 254. Of the 254 contested, the national committee has thus far given Taft 72. For Roosevelt. These figures analyze as follows: Instructed for Roosevelt and uncontested: California, 24; Illinois, 56; Indiana. 10; Kansas, 18; Kentucky, 1; Maryland, 16; Massachusetts, 18; Michigan, 10; Minnesota, 24; Missouri 12; Nebraska, 16; New Jersey, 28; North Carolina, 16; Ohio, 34; Oklahoma, 16; Oregon, 10; Pennsylvania, 67; South Dakota, 10; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 6; Vermont, 2; West Virginia, 16.?Total, 411.

It all depends on how the national committee decides the contests: who gets the uninstructed delegates, and?most important of all ?whether the delegates now listed one way or the other "stay put." ? The senate will vote on the question of unseating Senator Lorimer of Illinois July 6. This date was agreed upon at a conference last Saturday afternoon, at which the views of both the pro-Lorimer and anti-Lorimer senators were voiced. The agreement, however, was with the understanding that in the event of the adjournment of congress earlier than July 6 the voting time would be advanced, so that the case would be finally disposed of at this session. The arrangement of a final disposition of the greatest election contest in the history of congress was made suddenly as the result of the activity of Senator Lea. He favored July 1. There were hurried conferences among the senate leaders and brief meetings of the majority and i minority of. the investigating committee, at which Monday, July 1, was agreed upon. This was changed to the "legislative day" of July 6, at the insistence of Senator Curtis of Kansas, who has to leave Washington at that time. Senator Lorimer was consulted i and agreed to the action taken. He will defer his speech until the last op- ' portunity to make it before the vote i is taken. # li LOCAL AFFAIRS, NEW ADVERTI8EMENT8.

Reports are coming in from different sections as to damage to cotton from caterpillars. Mr. F. M. Stewart, of No. 2, Smyrna, recently received from his son, M. L. Stewart, who is living near Mill's Point, Texas, a pair of Jack rabbit ears. The ears are six inches in length. Referring to the unusually low temperature that has prevailed during the past few days, Mr. W. H. Herndon, of Yorkvllle states that in June, 1903, people slept twenty-seven pights under blankets. Inquiry at the office of the county treasurer develops the fact that there have been very few commutation road tax payments up to this time. The explanation probably is that the people liable are too busy with their crops to attend to the matter and that they will come down later. While in the* absence of more definite information than is available, It, is probable that neither Governor Blease nor Judge Jones will be at Sharon on July 4, it is safe to say that there will be a large crowd on hand on the occasion of the monument unveiling and picnic. This Is the first Fourth of July picnic announcement in this part of the country and as people are fond ot going to Sharon anyway, there will likely be enough people out to make the occasion interesting. WITHIN THE TOWN. ? There is renewed agitation of the question of concreting the Liberty ntrppt niripwnlkn frnm Pnnerpss atrepf to the two depots. ? The recently elected town council was inducted Into office last Friday; but no business was transacted, the new members especially desiring time for a little consideration before undertaking to embark upon a line of policy. ? The local determination to have an effective board of trade Is evidenced in the increased activity of the board of directors as recently re-organized. The town is being canvassed for additional members and there is talk of renting rooms in the McNeel building for a permanent home. The proposition seems to be meeting with pretty general favor. RAILROAD RUM0R8.* The recent change of schedule on the Southern railroad as the result of which the northbound train from Columbia to Marion is held up In Rock Hill from eleven o'clock a. m., to five p. m? is proving very satisfactory to the business Interests of Rock Hill; but it is causing complaint from a portion of the traveling public. In the case of people from the east of Rock Hill who desire to go to that town on business and return home the same day, the arrangement is very convenient indeed; but where a passenger starts from some point east of Rock Hill for some point west of that town he esteems it quite a hardship to be held up all day without-any business to attend to. The matter will probably be laid before the railroad commission. There are rumors of a further extension of the service of trains Nos. 117 and 118, now being operated between Yorkvllle and Columbia so as to make Blacksburg the northern terminus; but so far as the Enquirer has information nothing official has been given out In this connection. 3UST A CANARD. So far as the Enquirer has information there has been no confirmation of that story sent out of Rock Hill to the Charlotte Chronicle, alleging disrespectful treatment of Governor Blease by Wlnthrop graduates on the occasion of the presentation of the diplomas. A Yorkvllle man who was in Rock Hill Saturday told The Enquirer that the Rock Hill people generally seemed more or less indignant that such a story should be sent out. more especially when there was no foundation for it other than in the imagination of the correspondent. The fact is, said the Enquirer's Informant, Governor Blease's conduct at Rock Hill was so faultlessly dignified and proper that It occasioned favorable comment even from people who might naturally be expected to be most critical. He took occasion to say at the beginning of his very few remarks that he was there solely in an official capacity rather than for the purpose of making a speech; but at the same time he wanted it understood that he had always been friendly to Wlnthrop, to nrnt'o txthlnh hp n\if*r\ hla IpcIqIqHvo record and especially the fact that the Winthrop appropriations were untouched in the long list of Items he sought to cut out of the last appropriation bill. In view of the governor's conduct, and what he said, it was particularly regrettable that such a story should have been sent out to the world, and the Rock Hill people did not relish the incident at all. BACK FROM THE WEST. Mr. J. Lesslle McGill, of Bethany, returned last Thursday from a three weeks trip to Texas, where he went with the Eastern ad men, in their recent big swing around the circle. While of course he did his full part in advertising old York county and South Carolina generally whenever opportunity offered, his main purpose In taking the trip was to visit relatives and friends and see the country. Among the Texas towns visited were Dallas, Fort Worth, and Garland, particularly Dallas, the home of his uncle, Mr. John McGill, whom he brought back home with him. Mr. McGill crossed the Mississippi river at Memphis, both going and coming. As he went out the river was forty miles wide and when he came back it was within its banks again for the first time In a little over two months. Hie says that the conditions he witnessed in Memphis on the outward trip were most distressing. He remained in the city more than a day, and one of the sights was thousands of refugee negroes who had been driven in from the river bottoms and who were being sheltered and fed in temporary quarters on the fair grounds. He saw hundreds of head of horses, mules, cows, pigs, etc., being taken care of in the upper front porches of houses, and in some instances the animals were on rafts that had been enclosed with pickets. Although the people were feeding the animals as best they could to keep them alive, most of them were quite thin. On the return trip, the waters had subsided and farmers were planting as fast as possible, following close up to the water as it flowed back toward the river. It seems that because of the richness of the soil out that way there is no harm in planting wet. The Texas cotton crop is about two weeks late; but generally it is very Brood. Mr. John M. McGill who first went to Texas about 1860 by the wagon train route, and who last returned to this country about fifteen years ago, is very much astonished at the improvement that has been made. He says that If he had been set down here without previous knowledge of his whereabouts he would not have been able to Identify the country. He had no Idea forty years ago that this country could ever make the progress that Is now In evidence on every hand, and he has no hesitation in saying that this section Is well up with the best to be found In Texas. Mr. John McGIU will remain in York county until next fall. 0^3 AND VETCH. Mr. J. M. Wllllford called at The Enquirer office yesterday afternoon to take the editor out to see a field of oats and vetch belonging to Mr. W. J. Fewell, about a mile and a half east of Yorkvllle, and although the editor was unable to go, from what Mr. Wllllford said there Is no question that the sight was worth while. "There are three acres In the field," said Mr. Wllllford. "The oats struck me here," indicating a height of about three and a half feet, "and they are as thick as they can stand about all over the place, with the vetch filling In the spaces between. I do not think I have ever seen anything like It." Asked as to how many bundles there would probably be to the acre. Mr. Wllllford explained that because of the vetch, it was impracticable to tie the oats In bundles; that they would Just have to be mowed; but he felt safe in saying that when cured the yield or the mixture ought to be something like live tons to the acre. "But this is just a guess," explained Mr. Willifard. "One year I made ten tons of sorghum cane to the acre, and estimating the probable difference in height and weight as well as I can, I would say that the yield of cured oats and vetch ought to be at least five tons to the acre. In Mr. Williford's opinion, the oats and vetch when "cured ought to be worth at least as much per ton as Timothy hay, and as Timothy hay is worth in the neighborhood of $33 a ton, the value of this crop of Mr. Fewell's is close to $160 per acre.

Speck had charge of him and drove the machine, the doctor of course not being strong enough for anything like that. He was very much benefited by the trip. He has practically no use of his legs yet; but there Is every reason to believe that within ft. few days more he will be able to get around on his crutches. LOCAL LACONICS. Light Frosts. Light frosts are reported from various parts of the county on last Saturday and Sunday mornings. Cotton was slightly "nipped" In places. Hickory Grove Bond Election. In the election held at Hickory Grove yesterday on the question of issuing of $5,000 of bonds for the purpose of erecting a school building, 78 votes were cast, of which 44 were in favor of the bond issue and 34 against. The Blacksburg Fire. From additional Information The Enquirer has picked up during the past few days, it is fair to say that the first advanced theory that the origin of the Blacksburg fire is traceable to the work of negroes who sought to even up for the recent lynching, is not as well founded as another theory that takes the matter up along more tangible lines. The other theory is based upon the idea of incendiarism, but the motive is considerably more practical than revenge. Facts and circumstances are being talked in connection with the matter, but the case is not in shape to arrant tha nnhllcfl t Inn of names. C. & N.-W. Allowed New Rate. That the Carolina & North-Western railway may more successfully compete with the Southern railway the Interstate commerce commission on last Friday, granted long haul rates from Newton, Conover and Gastonia to Tidewater, which shall be lower than Intermediate rates between those towns land eastern and northern ports. The order is the result of protests by the Carolina & North-Western that shippers using Its lines were discriminated against by lower rates afforded shippers In contiguous territory that utilized the Southern. The* new rate is identical with the rate which the Southern operates from contiguous territory to the three towns involved, to the coast. Will Mset at Chester. E. W. Comer of Rock Hill, president of the South Carolina Rural Letter Carriers' association, announces that the state convention to be held at Chester July 3-4 will be attended by from 150 to 200 delegates and visitors. He is busily engaged on the program. However, several things are thus far certain that will be of interest to the carriers throughout the state. A banquet will be given by the Chester County Rural Letter Carriers' association to the state association and it will be projected on an elaborate scale. The following speakers will be here: Congressman David E. Finley of the Fifth district; F. H. Hyatt of Columbia, president of the South Carolina Good Roads' association, and Gov. Blease. Will Raise *55,000. The Presbyterian churches composing Bethel presbytery are this week engaged in raising their share of the proshare of the 155,000, and some of the three educational institutions in this state, which are owned and controlled by the South Carolina synod. Bethel presbytery's portion of the endowment fund is $55,000. The active campaign to raise this amount began Sunday, with special services in the Presbyterian churches to awaken interest in the educational institutions and their needs and on yesterday canvasses for subscriptions were begun, a report to be made to a central committee each night as to results. Each church of the presbytery was apportioned its portion of the $55,000, and some of the churches were able to report last night that their subscriptions had been Turner-McConnell. Mr. R. Sidney McConnell and Miss Ethel Turner, of Yorkville, were married In Shelby last Sunday, and both are back at work In the store of the McConnell Dry Goods company, of which Mr. McConnell Is one of the owners and with which Mrs. McConnell has been for two years past in the capacity of saleslady. The tparrlage was quite a surprise to the many friends of the young people. They took the train for Sholhv Snnrlav mnrainsr. and a few hours later there came a telegram that they were married. They returned to Yorkville Sunday night and were back at work yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. McConnell have the best wishes of a host of friends for their continued happiness and prosperity. Dr. A. H. McKenzie Dead. Mr. J. P. Sifford of Clover, received Information on yesterday to the effect that his uncle, Dr. A. H. McKenzle, of Dardanelle, Ark., had died on Tuesday of last week of heart failure.

After graduation, in the early seventies, he settled In Centerville, Yell county, Ark., where, by reason of his skill as a physician and character as a man, he built up a large practice. About ten years ago he removed to Dardanelle, the county seat. Dr. McKenzle was in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He is survived by his widow and eight children?six sons and two daughters.

A committee of the Winnie Davis chapter, U. D. C., with headquarters at Yorkville, has completed the work of copying the Confederate records in the office of the clerk of the court and has sent the copy to the Confederate museum at Richmond for future reference. The original records referred to were made some years ago by committees of old soldiers on the authority of an act or the general assembly and include as far as possible information like this: Date of enlistment; name of command; rank; time and place of wounds; whether killed in battle, dead from natural causes or living at the time of the making of the record; also date and manner of discharge from the service. These records were originally made up by committees of the various townships, about ten years ago and considering the obstacles that had to be contended with the work was done remarkably well. In all there are 2,123 names on the list for York county. It is a fact also that the York county list is the most complete and accurate that was made up in the state under the law authorizing the work. Many of the counties did nothing. The work of copying the records was quite tedious; but having taken It up the ladles did not let go until they finished It. WALL STREET ELECTION ODDS. Even Money That Colonel Roosevelt Will Not Be Named. An assortment of political betting offers, Republican and Democratic on nomination and election is presented by a Consolidated Exchange house. Money from $5 to $6,000 is on hand. And here are the bets: Even money is offered that Colonel Roosevelt will not be nominated, or 7 to 10 that he will be. Even money is wagered that he will be elected if nominated, but 6 to 5 is wagered that President Taft will be beaten if he is nominated. There is an offer of 1 to 3 that the colonel will be the next president likewise 2 to 1 that he won't be. Belief that neither the Colonel nor President Tfift can be elected is further reflected in the offer of 2 to 1 that Mr. Taft will not be re-elected. But if both run the president gets the best of it in a 1 to 2 bet that the colonel, running independent, will capture more votes than Taft will get on the regular ticket. A certain amount of confidence in Democratic success shows in an even money offer that the next president will be a Democrat as contrasted with the odds wanted against Roosevelt or Taft men winning. The odds on the list of present Democratic candidates follow: 9 to 5 that Clark will not be nominated; 2 1-2 to 1 that Wilson will not; 3 1-2 to 1 that Underwood will not; 4 to 1 against Harmon; 6 to 1 against Bryan, and when the list slides down to Gaynor the Wall streeters are willing to wager 8 to 1 against his capturing the nomination. They'll also bet 15 to 1 against any other man you want to name. This consolidated firm says it has $10,000 to spend on the Clark bet.? New York Sun. Situation in Cuba.?The presence of of American warships in Havana harbor this afternoon may be regarded as , greatly diminishing the likelihood of intervention in Cuba, according to the construction placed upon that fact by the administration. It is felt that the mere presence of the two warships will restrain the restless and excitable ele- i ment of Havana. i Secretary Knox, who all along has ; lost no opportunity of declaring against any purpose to Intervene polit- i lcally In Cuba unless absolutely driven to do so by the failure of the Cuban government to uphold the law and protect life and property, felt called upon today to renew that assurance directly to the Cuban people through Orestes Ferrera, speaker of the Cuban house of representatives. And he also let it be known to the American people, not only that the United States does not contemplate intervention, but that he believed the Cuban govern- i ment would be able itself to suppress 1 the insurrection. Senor Ferrera is believed to have derived great comfort from his talk with the secretary of state. The heavy torrential rains in Havana are now believed to have been an important factor in preventing the outbreak of race riots there. When the rains stop it is believed here the opposing elements will make no further effort to create race riots, because of the presence of the cruiser Washington and the battleship Rhode Island, in Havana harbor. The gunboat Nashville reported today that Sagua was being attacked by rebels, but the fruit company manager felt confident of his ability to defend the property unless attacked by overwhelming numbers. The present troubles are rapidly being transferred to the northern coast of Oriente province and the Nashville has returned to Nlpe bay.?Washing- 1 ton lispatch, Monday. ( SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? President E. W. Dabbs has called a meeting of the state Farmers' Union to be held at Columbia on July 24. ? Governor Blease filed his entry In the race for governor and gave out the following statement: "This is perhaps the first pledge filed In the campaign," said the governor. "I do It this early for the reason that I want to put to rest once for all the story that Is being told around that I will not be in the governor's race, but will enter the lists against Senator Tillman. Only death can prevent me from being in the governor's race to the finish." ? After enjoying his liberty for seventeen years, Tom McKannon, a negro, 66 years old, has been arrested at Kocky Mount, N. C., and taken back to Bennettsville, to answer the charge of the murder of his employer, Wm. Brickman, a prominent farmer of Marlboro county, who, It is alleged, he shot to death with a gun loaded with slugs and nails in 1895. McKannon admits that he Is the man wanted and justifies his action with an allegation of cruelty against his former employer. McKannon Implicates another neero. ? Washington, June 6: B, J. Rhame, of Sumter, state bank examiner of South Carolina, who is resisting Oov. ernor Blease's order removing him from office, is among the applicants for national bank examiner to succeed Giles L. Wilson, of Spartanburg. Mr. Wilson has resigned to go into business at Jacksonville, Fla. Others who are applying for Wilson's place are: T. C. Dunlap, of Yorkvllle, assistant bank examiner of South Carolina; S. B. Jones, of Spartanburg, and J. ?.. Barksdale, of Laurens. ? Governor Blease has named as a commission of alienists to examine Sam Hyde, the Anderson county man under sentence of electrocution for July 6, Dr. J. W. Babcock. superintendent of the hospital for insane. Dr. W. G. Houseal. of Newberry and Dr. Robert Wilson, of Charleston, chairman of the state board of health. With these men the fate of Sam Hyde largely rests. This commission will examine Hyde and report to the governor, recommending whether he be electrocuted or his sentence respited to allow for treatment or his sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. Hyde will be taken to the penitentiary in a few days and the commission will examine him soon thereafter. ? Beaufort, June 7: Rogar Pinckney, Jr. contractor for boring' deep and shallow artesian wells, is now putting down a well for the Pat Wall company, at Sheldon. At the depth of 668 feet he has found a deposit of black sand, which is said to be a true Indication of oil. Mr. Plnckney has put down many wells of various depths and 'says this is the first time he has ever found a deposit of this kind, which, if found in an oil region, there would at once be a hunt for an oil vein. Petroleum, or earth oil, is found naturally in many parts of the earth, and is formed by the gradual decomposition of homologues of marsh gas. It is very probable that oil could be found at Sheldon. ? Columbia correspondence News and Courier, Monday: Governor Blease's threat to arrest Thos. B. Felder as he passes through the state en* route to Baltimore to attend tne Democratic National convention as a delegate at large from Georgia, stirred South Carolina last week, and the people have been awaiting a reply from Pelder, it having been announced in Atlanta that he was absenjLJiL. CWeager -On-Ms return to Atlanta yesterday he gave out the following statement, according to an Atlanta paper: "I will go and come when I plehse," said Mr. Felder. '1 am absolutely unconcerned at this latest effort of Blease to obtain cheap political rtotorlety. It Is nothing more nor less than clap-trap. I will attend the Democratic National convention In Baltimore and I will go on with the Georgia delegation. There's nothing In the charges Blease and his henchmen have brought against me. This was clearly demonstrated last fall, when the grand jury in bis home county (Newberry,) by a vote of 11 to 6, returned a 'no bill* on the warrant taken out against me. I am perfectly Indifferent to Blease and his threats and I will attend to his case in the not distant future." The Atlanta paper further publishes: "That, asked if it would not prove inconvenient and embarrassing to him if he was put under arrest while en route to Baltimore or after his arrival In that city, Mr. Felder said: 'Not necessarily.'" ? Camden, June 8: Attorneys E. J. Bldkeney and Thomas J. Kirkland have returned from Ashevllle, N. C., where they went to appear before the Uited States circuit court of appeals, as attorneys for the Kershaw and Lancaster oil mills, who are being sued by the National bank of Savannah. The case Is quite an unusual and interesting one. As it is generally known, the oil mills put out an article known in the commercial world as "linter8." which they obtain off the seed before crushing them. The cotton thus obtained Is an inferior quality and is very rarely worth over 4 cents a pound. A cotton merchant of Savannah, who according to the details of the case, had an agent in Kershaw county, instructed him to buy about four or Ave hundred bales of linters and ship them by freight, describing the linters in the bill of lading as cotton. His agent bought the required number of bales from the Kershaw and Lancaster oil mills, and shipped them as instructed?making the two oil mills appear on the bill of lading as shippers, and the bill of lading describing the shipment as cotton. According to the defendant companies, when the bill of lading reached the merchant in Savannah he took It to the National bank of Savannah and requested a loan, offering the bill of lading as security; that the bank loaned this merchant (60,000 on the bill of lading, which purported to represent 600 bales of cotton. The bank was never paid the amount of the loan and it was found that it held a bill of lading for 600 bales of llnters, Instead of cotton. By this transaction the bank lost (40,000. The bank then started suit for this amount against the two oil mills for shipping linters as cotton. The case was tried before the district court of South Carolina and Judge H. A. M. Smith, presiding, ruled that they were not liable for the loss of the bank. The case is being watched with great interest by many lawyers, railroad men and cotton merchants, for it Is the first time, so far as the attorneys on both sides of the case can determine, that such a scheme has been worked or that the shipper of goods has ever been sued for improperly describing in the bill of lading. ? Havana, June 8: The Intensity of the racial antagonism is hourly In creasing: in Havana and there la serious apprehension of an outbreak at any moment. The whites are fearful of a sudden nocturnal rising: of the blacks and, at the same time, are showing: a strong: disposition to precipitate an open race war by planning: an at- , tack on the negroes. Blacks and whites alike are armed. A movement was discovered tonight on the part of many j young white men to drive all negroes from San Rafael street, an important thoroughfare. Strong police patrols frustrated the plans. The same element announces Its intention to break up the regular Sunday night concert in Central park attended almost exclusively by the better class of negroes to whom it is an important social function. Beginning tonight all the police of Havana are armed with long new machetes, discarding their clubs. Race rioting among the longshoresmen, which began last night was resumed \ this afternoon. One negro was killed, i The police finally restored order. 1 i ? The Cuban problem was thrust 1 upon the senate last Saturday when measures were introduced and referred , to the committee on foreign relations, one directing that committee to inves- ' tigate the authority for American : military operations in "any foreign j nation" except under express direction , of congress and another to ascertain , vhether insurrection in Cuba and Mex- ' co L being fomented in this country, rhe resolution regarding the ques:lon of authority was introduced oy Senator Bacon of Georgia, and that egarding insurrectionary activity In :he United States was presented by Senator Nelson of Minnesota. The 'orelgn relations committee probably vlll consider these matters next Wed- 1 lesday. The committee on Cuban re- 1 atlons so far has been unable to agree ] >n a recommendation as to what I authority should determine the necessity and nature of intervention In $ Cuba. The United States government is awaiting developments in Cuba i and officials of the state, war and navy departments concur In the opinion that nothing is likely to happen within the next day or two that will Involve the employment of any American forces In addition to those already landed in Cuba or made ready to go.
