- -V* : * x ALLENDALE FAVORS LAW. t\ Organization is Formed to Report all Violators of State Statutes. * Allendale, August 6.?The Allendale branch of the Barnwell County Law and Order League held a very enthusiastic meeting in the town hall 4.. yesterday, when resolutions and bylaws were read for the government of * the league. The object of the league is to uphold the law in everything, but particularly to prosecute violas tors of the cotton seed, dispensary, or prohibition law, as the case may be, and the carrying of concealed weapons. Rewards ranging from * $100 to $25 will be paid for reporting with proof to convict in the above mentioned crimes. The league has a large enrolment, and every member * is pledged to report all violators of the law. After the close of this meeting a prohibition rally was neia, ana speeches were made by the Rev. H. B. Browne and Sheriff F. H. Creech. The result of the election on the 17th is doubtful in this county. ?? t Drowned in Pool of Water. North, Aug. 6.?The citizens of our town and community were very ^ much shocked Wednesday morning by the sad intelligence that Mr. Emmett Wolfe, son of Mr. Fred A. Wolf, had been found dead in the public road just above North in a very shal* 'low puddle of water, which was not > ' more than three or four inches deep. The body was found by an old color* woman early in the morning ile on her way to her field not far n the scene of the horrible accir. She at once gave the alarm, "v . :ch attracted Mr. J. S. Craft, and at first the body was not recognized by Mr. Craft, as it was lying upon Sthe face, but Mr. Craft summoned assistance, and, upon examination, it ^ - was soon recognized as the body of Mr. Wolfe, as he was very well > known by the parties present Mr. Wolfe had come down to the town that morning about 4 o'clock to assist an old gentleman off on the early morning train and was on his way back home and had only gotten a short distance out of town when he was seized by an attack of epilepsy, v supposedly, and fell from his buggy just as he was crossing the puddle of water in the road. The horse with the buggy going home, and was found, after the body of young Wolf had been discovered. Mr. Wolfe was 26 years old, and the second son of Mr. Fred A. Wolfe, a and had been employed as baggagemaster on the S. A. L. railroad for / several years, but had given up his position on account of his health, and was staying at home with his father. - * 1 J V ? ^,.,7 Vl < CT-Vl ^ H IB Bam iuai ue biuuu iw; with his superior officers in the railroad service.

Lancaster, Aug. 4.?The Charleston lawyers, Messrs. Holiman & Grace, who made application before Chief Justice Jones here last evenV ing for a rule to show cause in the case of Thomas M. Pellico against the ^Charleston election commissioners, a proceeding in which question is f raised as to constitutionality of act providing for closing of dispensaries ~ - * -v ai iv ? and tne noiamg 01 an eiecuuu uu me > 17th instant, as published in to-day's State, added a third ground to-day * to those submitted last night in support of their contention that the act in question is unconstitutional, # namely, that it is class legislation, in that it gives 21 counties the right to hold elections automatically every four years, while the remaining counties are allowed the one election only. ' \ . It will be recalled that the other . ? grounds are: First, that it violates the article in the constitution requiring the subject matter of the act to * be stated in the title. Second, that the act is special legislation. Chief Justice Jones forwarded copies of the papers to-day to the associate justices, and until they are , heard from it will not be known whether the supreme court will assemble to hear the case. 2 Crops in Fine Condition. i Denmark, Aug. 8.?Prospects for a good cotton crop in this section T were never better. The first open boll was brought to town to-day, which indicates cotton picking very soon. The merchants are in good spirits and expect a good fall and winter trade. Corn and other products are looking well, but the farmers in this immediate section make plenty of corn and hay for their own use, and have some to sell. Fair prices are being realized for watermelons, of which quite a lot have been shipped from this place. This is a fine section of Augusta ter/ ritory. Good people and good land make good crops. Prohibition people say that Bamberg county will go dry. Dispensary people say it will go wet in the coming election. k * FARMERS SHOULD SUPPORT. Those Newspapers that Fight Their Battles. In an audience composed mostly of the members of the Farmers Union one of the speakers recently expressed the mutual friendship between the farm and newspaper in the following: "As a rule the farmer has no firmer friend than the country press. The home paper is distinctly the farmer's own paper, supported di rectly and indirectly by farmers, who compose the backbone of the subscription list of the printer and largely for what the enterprising merchant advertises. Now, brother, let us not forget our friends. Let us see that our subscription is paid a year in advance. We can do it. "The man or the paper that fights my battle shall have my support. Another thing, the merchants advertising are the ones that make it possible for us to get a good local paper. The man or local firm that is too penurious to advertise and help support the local press has no right to the farmer's patronage. "I promise hereafter to go to the live advertiser and the man who does his share in supporting the local press, thus contributing to my support, rather than buy of a man who proposes to take all and give nothing back. If farmers as a class would support their friends, the other fellow would soon go out of business." Statewide Prohibition for Carolina. Columbia, S. C., August 6.?Representative J. G. Richards, Jr., of Kershaw, prohibition floor leader in the house and who got 'his bill through that body last year after a most memorable contest with a stubborn filibuster, will reintroduce his bill at the next session, and though it will be identically the same legislature, he is confident a statewide bill will pass both houses with ease. "We are going to pass her this time as sure as gun is made of iron," lie said. There will hardly be twoj counties in the State "wet" when l these August elections are over and j we will complete the job next winter in the legislature by passing a Statewide act. These spasms they are having in various parts of the State about the last act being unconstitutional, about how soon after the election the dispensaries shall be reopened and all that sort of thing are not TrnT-TOi'nff tha nrnhibitionists who V**v r - know the situation. We have got liquor beat in this State and that had as well be accepted." * Mr. Richards will not be a candidate for governor next summer as many people over the State have been expecting on account of his prohibition activity and by reason of the fact that he carried a successful fight through against the lien law after ten years hard work. At least so far as he can see at present, he will not run for any office in the next State campaign. Though a former ardent State dispensary advocate, and who fought hard in the legislature against its abolishment, he is an enthusiastic supporter of the graft-hunting committee. "I hope that committee will succeed in putting the stripes on the State officials who have been stealing from the State," said he. "They are the people who did more than all -i?

New York, Aug. 5.?The Cunard line officials have confirmed the report that their steamships Umbria and Etruria are for sale. Both of them are now at English shipyards. Both vessels played conspicuous parts 25 years ago when they were first launched, in lowering the transAtlantic record and are still rated as the fastest single screw steamships afloat. The Umbria and Etruria lowered the trans-Atlantic record to 6 days, 1 hour and 55 minutes, but since the construction of vessels with triple expansion engines, twin screws and turbines, the company finds that the old types bum too much coal. A Week Enough. New York, Aug. 5.?Just how often a father of ordinary and proper affections should desire to see and visit with an infant son of 16 months was officially passed upon yesterday by Justice Brady in the supreme court. The issue came up on a writ of habeas corpus secured by Joseph Magnas, directing his wife, Josephine, to produce in court his 16-months-old son, Joseph, Jr. The mother's attorney explained that the father and mother were not living together. Judge Brady said he thought the proper place for the child was with its mother, but said the father could come and visit it on Sundays. "Once a week, I think, is all that any ordinary father, no matter how devoted, would care to visit an infant of 16 months," commented the court. RIDES HORSE INTO HOTEL. California Millionaire Creates Sensa- I tion in London House. New York, Aug. 5.?Frank Jay Mackey, the well known California t millionaire, who resided chiefly in 2 England for a number of years, has 3 been fined $10 and costs in a London police court for riding a horse in- i to one of the hotels, according to a < cablegram received here to-day. I Mr. Mackey is said to have made a wager that he would ride the z horse into the hotel and around the ( billiard table. He did so and was j cited to a policeman and taken to the 2 police court. t Tr> navi-nc his fine he said he was t satisfied because he had won the j wager. Kidnappers Planning Demands. New York, Aug. 5.?The kidnap- y ping of two children within a week f from the same family has led the ? police to believe that efforts are be- < ing made to blackmail the parents. ] When Stephen Guardino, four years j old, was stolen from in front of his ^ home in Spring street on Sunday aft- j ernoon, the kidnappers apparently j stole the wrong child, because he was released the following morning, j and was picked up on a strange j street, and returned to bis parents, j At 2 o'clock the same afternoon, j Stephen's six-year-old brother, An- j thony, was sleeping in a bed-room of j the Guardino flat when a strange t man entered and carried him away \ without awakening him. At the time j the other members of the family ] were visiting a neighbor. < Anthony has not been found, and the police force of New York city is seeking him. The father is prosperous and owns the lease of the j tenement in which the family lives. { He has a brother, in Brooklyn who } is rated *as wealthy, and the family . believe, with the police, that a de- ] mand will be made for the missing ] child's ransom. A letter which came into the { possession of the police to-day is believed to be the first communication1] received in St. Louis from the kid-'] nappers of the Viviano children since . the father of Grace Viviano received = through the mails a demand for $25,000 ransom. The letter, addressed to Joseph j Pagano, one of the two men held by j the police, came from Chicago and the writer tells Pagano that he cannot claim "the trunks" because the police are watching them. The police are keeping the text of the letter a secret and will not divulge the name of the writer. ] Marchesi Benedettro, whom the police are seeking, opened a saloon at . Milton avenue and Oak street, Chicago, two years ago. He was known there as Ben Marghesi He sold out his business and came here 6 months ago. A special officer will not be sent to Chicago as the Vivianos will not pay the expenses. ^ l Will Fight to Secure Children. St. Louis, Aug. 5.?Rumors that the Vivanos, father of Grace and Tommasso Viviano, who were kidnapped from their homes here Monday, were communicating secretly with the children's abductors were dispelled to-day by Pietro Viviano calling at the police station and an nouncing to Captain Scnoppe an intention to prosecute the abductors when captured. Pietro Viviano told the police that he and his cousin of the same name, did not have $25,000, which the special delivery letter demanded as a ransom. The police are holding Joseph Pagano and Lamancia Ciroloma, the latter having confessed last night that Pagano, Marchesi, Benedetto, Samuel Turrisi and Vincenzo Ricardo arranged with him last Sunday to have the trunks, which were found in Chicago, hauled to an express office here. Pagano when told of Giroloma's confession, pleaded ignorance and begged to be allowed to commit suicide. Benedetto, Turrisi and Ricardo and the latter's wife and mother-inlaw are being Bought. It is thought they are in Chicago. Gets Black Hand Letters. St. Louis, Aug. 5.?Two black hand letters, demanding $300, have been sent to Jbseph Palizolio, a brickmaker, and to-day the police began standing guard about his house. Fright at the kidnapping of the Viviano children caused him to report the letters to the police. WILL USE SOUTHERN'S DEPOT. C., C. & O. Arranging for Trains to Enter Spartanburg. Spartanburg, Aug. 5.?The general contractors have received orders from the officials of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio railway to connect up the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio roadbed with the roadbed of the Southern railway just east of the Southern's passenger station. This means that temporarily the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio will operate its passenger trains into the Southern j railway depot. This connection can be made in 10 days. V "' -v- V HUNTING WILD CATTLE. Vorth Carolina Herd That Became Troublesome Had to be Killed. For several days a hunt for wild :attle has been in progress within ten niles of Fayetteville. A number of -ears ago Major J. B. Broadfoot turnid several cows loose on a stretch of and he owned between Carver's :reek and Cross creek, says the Fayitteville Observer. There they have been ever since, nultiplying and growing wilder with iach generation, until now the herd lumbers fully a hundred, all wild as :ebras. These animals ranged for a listance of seven miles between two :reeks and along their banks 10 or 12 niles. Finding it almost impossible to :atch any of them, and hearing that certain parties were hunting them vith rifles, Major Broadfoot decided o take a hand in the matter himself, ind enlisted the services of J. A. Hatiliffe, a crack rifle shot. So for the ast several days, accompanied by a ?ilot, a man in the neighborhood, vho knows the wild cattle and their ange, Mr. Ratcliffe has been having eal sport So far he has been able to get withn rifle range of six of the animals, md he has brought them all to the ground. One of them, a great bull, ifter being shot twice, made a dash ' >?- <+ tAAV ?V,KQO .or mr. xvaicjiuc, auu iw two. nore bullets in the head before the mimal dropped at the hunter's feet. The pilot, Sam Elliott, estimates the lumber oj these wild animals at 100, laving himself seen as many as 75 lifferent ones. Fully Appreciated. Raymond, age five, returned from Sunday-school in a state of evident incitement. He strutted around the room as if about to burst with importance. The sympathetic eye of lis mother was not slow to observe this. "What's the matter, Raymond?" she asked. "Oh, mother,'" exclaimed the small Poy, his eyes sparking, "the superin:endent said something awful nice ii?out me in his prayer this mornng." "What did he say?" "He said, 'Oh, Lord, we thank Thee tor food and Raymond.' "?Woman's Home Companion for August. *T W M B 1 IT i If H. XXL. UA AHA XXL Attorney-at-Law BAMBERG* S. C.

S. Stowell, of Pitts- J field, on his first trip as pilot, to-day made a drop to earth in the balloon J Pittsfield. A perfect landing was effected. With him as passengers were John T. Manning and Miss Blanche Hulse, a trained nurse. TT71* A **1*1 ** ?-? *v lieu over asiiuciu duu dutaiauu, the aeronauts struck a vortex which swept the balloon rapidly upward to a height of over two miles.
