Bps* ^ - ' r?-V ; ? WHISKEY BUILT CHURCH. Big Profits Made from Dispensary in Part of Orangeburg. Orangeburg, S. C., Jan. 27.?There seems to be a good business for the dispensary at the town of Livingston, in this county. So much so in fact that the profits could not all be expended in improvements about the town and were donated for the purpose of erecting a church. The church has been about completed, and doubtless a portion of the last quarter's ? profits will go towards furnishing the interior of the edifice, and in a short while the house of worship will be P ready for use. * This is perhaps the first instance in which money from the dispensary . - has gone in this direction, and it was done, so it is stated on good author: ity, with the full consent of the citizens of the town of Livingston. The % . story of the building of the church V with dispensary money was told some 1 days ago, and this morning the facts ?*; in the case were learned. The town gets on an average of ; ?/miethiner like 55.000 a year from t the dispensary, to be used in the im?< .provement of the town, and the past year saw all the improvements so far advanced that it was not necessary to expend all of the money received from the dispensary in making any ^additional improvements to any great extent. It seems that the town expended all the money for this puri^.^ose this year that was needed and there was still a good sum left over and there was some difficulty experienced in deciding in what manner the remaining sum should be expended. ?v It was suggested that the church be g||lNtilt, and so upon the furnishing of a ||| certain amount by the members, the I^vtown donated a sum of something like $1,900. The total co^t of the &- church will be about $3,000. It was I;! stated that there was some little ob1 jection on the part of some of the church members to accepting this k^mosgy, but they were finally persuad:3fce church building, though not ^entirely completed as yet, has been already turned over to the Methodist 0 .conference. Preached Hypnotism. iartanburg, Jan. 25.?The Rev. Roper, pastor of the First Bap hnrch, delivered a novel and unt sermon last night before a congregation. The subject of ermon was the "Emanuel Movebut the speaker devoted most s time and attention to hypnowhich, he said, is being largely in the treatment of diseases, and which he said the Emanuel ment is -avowedly based.

Cincinnati Jan. 28.?Race feeling, \ it is said, inspired a fight between wtite boys and a negro youth in front of the East night school in Woodward " street last night, which culminated in the death of William Wiebold, aged 17 years; the probable fatal injury of William Dorsey, aged 20, and the self?. rious injury of Charles Ruff, aged 17. The alleged murderer, Atlas Telford, aged 20 years, a negro high school student, employed as house man for |V Judge Thompson, of the federal court, has been arested. He declares ml that he cut the white boys in self-de(fense. A party of friends were jollying Marie about her sweetheart, when one said: "Oh, I think he is a weakkneed chap, anyhow." "Well, you just don't know him as well as I do, he ain't a bit weak-kneed," and then she blushed, and they all wondered p>rif she sat on him.?Englewood (III.) Times. ROBBED BY MAN AND WIFE. Hardaway Young, of Mobile, Says He Was Held Up. Mobile, Ala., Jan. 29.?Fleetwood Lester, traveling salesman for the Southern Supply Company, of this city, and his wife are in jail charged with holding up Hardaway Young, president of the company, at the point of a revolver and robbing him of $5,600.25. The alleged robbery occurred at the home of the Lesters this afternoon and was sensational in the extreme. It is charged that Lester telephoned to Young to come out to his home on business connected with the sale of stock which Lester owned in the company. As soon as Young entered the Lester home, it is alleged Lester held him up at the point of a revolver and forced him to write an order to his cashier, directing him to pay Mrs. Lester $5,600.25, the amount of stock which Lester is said to have owned in the company. Mrs. Lester took the order to the cashier, who wrote out a check for the amount, l accompanied Mrs. Lester to the bank 1 J - J J A AVIDOV TTQC ana laeunueu uci auu cashed. Mrs. Lester then returned to her home, where Young alleges he was held at the point of a revolver during her absence, and gave the money to her husband, who then advised Young that he could depart. Two hours later Young swore out warrants against Mr. and Mrs. Lester, charging them with robbery, and they were lodged in the county jail. Lester and his wife declined to make any statement. The affair is said to be the outcome of recent misunderstandings betweeen Lester and Young concerning certain business transactions. Discontent. (Written for The Herald.) The rich and the poor, the admired and caressed, In the midst of their blessings but seldom are blest, There is something still wanting, whibh, when they obtain, Another new wish is beginning to reign. In childhood we wish for an age that's mature, 'Tis liberty then that we wish to procure. Lin manhood the Scares overbalance the pleasure, ! We wjsh then fox ease, for retirement and leisure. What we wish is attained?for awhiie it can charm, But solitude then rises up to alarm. I Now we've time to examine our kingdom within. Where we find that a warfare is like to begin ^ Still, the love that our ease disinclines us to fight. And we run off like cowards, and give up our right. They are happy alone who enlist in their youth, Beneath the bright banner of virtue and truth, Tis such, though they be not admired or caressed That alone can in storms or in sunshine be blest. ?M. G. J. Feb. 1st, 1909. Mrs. Blair Freed of Murder Cliarge. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 30.?Mrs. Ethel W. Blair, after spending in alternate laughter and tears, both hysterical, the five and a half hours during which the jury deliberated her fate, fainted dead away when late last night there was returned a verdict of acquittal. She has been on trial the past three days for the second time, on the charge of murdering her husband, Conductor McCully Blair, at their home on Marion street, in this city, in January, 1907. t+ TCoa a minutes after mid night Saturday when the verdict was returned. Mrs. Blair was quickly removed and spent some moments greeting her friends. She was still hysterical, however, when she left the court room. Mrs. Biair is an exceedingly handsome young woman, and this fact, taken in connection witn the gravity of the accusation against her, has kept public interest in her fate at high tension. She refuses to discuss her plans for the future. "Anti"Jug" Law Planned. Washington, Jan. 30.?A series of conferences were held by house leaders to-day to determine on some method of getting the house to agree to legislation that will regulate the shipment of liquor from State to State. Representative James E. Watson, of Indiana, "Republican whip," whose defeat for governor of his State last November, is charged to his anti-liquor platform, is leading the fight for the proposed legislation. The programme finally decided upon probably will be to tack liquor legislation on to the bill for the codifica tion of the penal laws of the United States, which has a privileged character on the house calendar. As a bill for this purpose has already passed the senate, it is believed that both houses can be brought to an agreement to enact liquor legislation more quickly than by voting on a separate bill. Statehood Measure Introduced. Washington, Jan. 30.?An omnibus bill providing separate statehood for the territories of New Mexico and Arizona was introduced in the house to-day by Representative Hamilton of Michigan, chairman of the house committee on territories. The bill was framed by the Republican members of the committee and submitted to the minority members, who have approved it. New Mexico is given two representatives in the house, to be elected at large, and the city of Sante Fe is designated as the capital of the State until 1920. For Arizona, Phoenix is designated as the capital until 1920. Arizona is given one representative in the house. Hearings on the bill will be held by the committee on territories next week and it probably will be Veported the end of the week. ' ' ' V HORSE THIEF CAUGHT. Vastine Chavis, Wanted in Georgia for Larceny of Live Stock. Lexington, Jan. 29.?C. E. Hall, chief detective for the State of Georgia, with the assistance of Sheriff P. H. Corley and Deputy Sheriff Sim J. Miller yesterday morning captured a white man by the name of Vastine Chavis, wanted in Richmond county, Ga., upon the charge of horse stealing. The arrest was made at the home of Britt Hutto, in the sand hills, where Chavis had been spending a few days with his relatives. When.the officers approached, it is said Chavis made a desperate effort to raise his gun to shoot, but was prevented from carrying out his purpose by Sheriff Corley, who grabbed the weapon and threw it to the ground. The warrant upon which Chavis was arested was issued by Judge William F. Eve, of the city court of Aiienista. and charees Chavis with horse stealing. On the night of the 6th of January, Chavis, it is alleged, stole a mule belonging to Mr. C. D. Carr, the "well known wholesale grocer in Augusta, and rode the mule to near Langley, in this State, and swapped it to a man by the name of Nat Hamlet for a bay horse and $20 to boot Chavis then proceeded on his journey to near Lexington, it is said, where he sold the horse for $7 and a shotgun. He then walked back to with?in thre miles of Ellington, in Aiken county, and stole a cow, it is alleged, from George Brown, a negro. Chavis, it is charged, took the cow to White Pond and sold it to Mr. Oscar Weeks for $12, Mr. Weeks giving him a check on the Williston bank for the amount. While Chavis was trying to get the check cashed at the bank he became frightened and ran off without the money, leaving the check behind. Chavis then went to SfJringfield, secured his little boy, about 6 years old, and came over in Lexington county to the Britt Hutto old mill place, where he was captured early yesterday morning. Chavis was carried back to Augusta by Detective Hall. The mule has been returned to its owner by Mr. Hall and the Lexington officers will make an effort to get the horse for Hamlet. Chavis is a man about 32 years of age and is said to have left a wife and two-children about 15 miles below Augusta on the Savannah river. It is said that he confessed his guilt to the officers. Detective Hall was for eight years on the police force of Columbia and is well known in this State. Arrested in Augusta. Laurens, Jan. 31.?In response to telegrams sent out everywhere by Chief of Police William S. Bagwell on the day of the police-yeggman trag eay nere, tne purport ot wmuu was to put the officers on the lookout for the deceased burglar's supposed pal, Chief Bagwell last night received a letter from the chief of police of Augusta,. Ga., stating that he had in custody a young white man who had been fined in the recorder's court $100 for some offense and seemed anxious to pay out; that he was unknown there and was regarded as a suspicious character; that he would hold him for identification, it being understood from here that the dead man and his partner had been seen together by certain i^aurens people a day or so prior to the killing. In consequence of this letter Chief Bagwell this afternoon sent Steve Owens, night watchman at the Watts mills, to Augusta to see the man held there. Owens claims to have noted the two - men wnne tney were at ncaiuu o shop at Watts mills, giving particular attention to the one who remained outside while the yeggman who met his death the next night was inside buying a coca-cola. He is positive he can identify the fellow. It is possible that the Augusta authorities' man may be brought here if there be the least clue to connect him with the dead man. Purchased by Coast Line. Lexington, Ky., Jan.. 30.?It is reported here to-day that the Atlantic Coast Line Railway company has purchased the Lexington & Eastern railway, leading from here to Jackson, Breathitt county, a distance of 90 miles, which penetrates rich coal and timber territory It is said the purchase price was $500,000. It is reported that the road will be extended to Big Stone Gap, Va., and through to tidewater by the purchasers. This would give the Atlantic Coast Line control of the richest coal and timber lands in the South. Taft Wants Crum Confirmed. Washington, D. C., Jan 28.?The senate committee on finance to-day reported in favor of confirming the reappointment of the negro, Crum, to be collector of the port of Charleston. The name was sent in several weeks ago and was held up by thecommittee, which had^bout decided to pigeonhole it along with other important nominations made by Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt is the settine sun and holding up his nomi nations is one of the ways old enemies have of taking a whack at him. But there is a complication which caused the committee to act to-day. Mr. Taft in one of his speeches has expressed himself in favor of making (appointments in the South which would have the sanction of the best element of white people. But he does not want the question of ap| pointing a negro put up to him so so straight and so early in the game ?so he has sent word to certain senators to hurry along the Crum confirmation. Senator Tillman, when asked what he was going to do about it, stated tonight that he would fight the nomination if the people of Charleston give him their support and furnish him with data and so forth. He says he held it up before for two years and he ought to be able to hold it up now for five weeks. Mr. Taft seems very much concerned about having these entanglements removed before he comes into office and he wants Crum confirmed now so the responsibility will be taken off his shoulders. POWER OF WATER. JCnder Certain Conditions it is Practically Irresistible. When a man goes in swimming at the seashore and slaps the water forcibly with his hand and takes a dive back from the pier ana lands squarely on his back he realizes that the unstable liquid offers not a little resistance. Yet, says a writer in the New York Tribune, it would surprise almost anybody to see what water will do under certain conditions. A stream from a fireman's hose will knock a man down. The jet from a nozzle used in placer mining in the west eats away a large piece of land in a day, toys with great boulders as if they were pebbles and would shoot a man over the country as though he were a projectile from a cannon. There is a story of an Eastern blacksmith who went West and made a bet that he could knock a hole through the jet of one of these nozzles with a sledge hammer. He lifted his arms, swung the sledge and came down on the ten-inch stream with a force that would have dented an anvil. But the jet, never penetrated, whisked the massive iron hammer out of the blacksmith's hands and tossed it several hundred feet away in the debris of gold-bearing gravel beneath a crumbling cliff. After this the blacksmith left out iron when he spoke of hard substances. There is also a power plant near Durango, Colo., where a United States cavalryman one day thought he had an easy job in cutting a twoinch stream with his sword. He made a valiant attack but his sword was shivered in two and his wrist broken. Almost at Rest. A kind hearted, but somewhat close fisted man who was sorely afflicted with a conscience came to a friend, holding a visiting card in his hand. He looked deeply troubled. "I know," said he, "this man wants to borrow money. I know he will drink it. What am I to do?" "It is perfectly simple," said the friend. 'Send down word that you are out." "I can not," he said. "I have never told a lie in my ilfe." "Then,' said the friend, "lend all your money to me, and you can tell him you haven't a penny in your poeket." After some hesitation the kind hearted man complied and, having seen his caller, returned. "Well," asked his friend, "are * ? _ J - j. Oft your conscience ana minu m rc?i; "Not quite, man," he replied, "but they will be as soon as you have given me my money back."?Bellman. Dollar at Interest for 99 Years. Joseph Osborne yesterday placed a dollar in deposit in the Citizens' Savings and Trust Company under a contract to be signed, sealed and delivered, to the effect that it shall not be removed for 99 years. At the expiration of the long period, during which interest shall be compounded annual-' ly, the total sum is to be presented to the oldest surviving Osborne in the direct line of descent from Joseph Osborne, the present owner. The odd compact was entered into by Osborne, who is a contractor, when he found, in balancing up an old account, that a balance of 27 cents existed. He added 73 cents under the foregoing provisions.?Des Moines Capital His Sign Down. I A disheveled man, much the worse for liquor, staggered out of a Maine "speak-easy" and laboriously propped | himself against the door. For a while he owlishly surveyed the passers-by.

Bud jerked his thumb toward the slumberer on the sidewalk. "Yer sign has fell down," he explained, and briskly resumed his walk up-town.?Everybody's Magazine. Buries Her Dog Amid Roses. After the body of her pet bulldog had lain in state in her home two days Mrs. William E. Benton, widow of a wealthy restaurant proprietor of Peoria, 111., buried the animal to-day with solemn funeral rites. The body was placed in a costly coffin, lined with satin, and was borne to the grave by four pallbearers. The coffin was covered with a blanket of roses and when the grave was filled in it was surmounted by a pile of flowers. Mrs. Benton endea-j vored to obtain musicians to play a dirge but her request met with re-i fusal. Every local bandmaster drew Lhe line at furnishing music for a dog's funeral.?New York Press. Jury Fails to Agree. Union City, Tenn., Jan. 28.?After being out for 16 hours the jury in the trial of "Ed" Marshall, alleged night rider, reported to-day that they could not agree on a verdict. "Do you think you could agree in two days or six months?" asked Judge Jones. "No, sir," was the response of the foreman, and the jury was at once discharged. The stood 10 for acquittal and two for murder in the second degree. Announcement was made by the prosecuting attorneys that they will endeavor to have the hearing of others charged with having had part in the Reelfoot lake lynching deferred until( May. It is the plan of the State to present a motion to Judge Jones to-morrow ordering the removal of 16 men confined in the military barracks and three in the county jail to other points in this judicial district, pending their trials. ' V; RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL Surveys for Streams in South Carolina Included in Measure. Washington, Jan. 30.?The South Carolina items in the abridged rivers and harbors bill, which will be reported some time during the coming week, are items for surveys of the Coosaw river in the First district, the Wateree in the Fifth district, the Great Pee Dee, Little Pee Dee, Santee, Black, Waverley rivers, Lynch's creek and Clark Creeke in the Sixth and the Congaree in the Seventh. Mr. Ellerbe, a member of the river and harbors committee, had charge of the items for South Carolina, each one of the other members from South Carolina placing the matter in his charge. He managed to get in all the projects asked for by the South Carolina members, it being understood that only surveys would be authorized. Shoots Wife and Himself. Roanoke, Va., Jan. 29.?Without a word of warning, J. C. Edwards, a former commission merchant of Richmond, shot and fatally wounded his wife at the front door of her home, attempted to shoot his little daughter, and put a bullet through his own brain, later dying at St. Vincent's hospital. The shooting was the result of domestic unhappiness. ....A.... C. & K. HAT For $3.00 and $3.50 and a Florsheim Shoe For $4.00, $5.00 and $6.00 C. It. BRABBAH'S SONS BAMBERG, S. C. . Jas. M.
