Sunday afternoon was appropriately observed at the Presbyterian church here as "Sunday-school Rally Day," when a highly intersting programme was carried out by members of the Sunday-school classes and others. The exercises which took place at 4:30 p. m., were opened by the singing of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," followed by the invocation by the pastor, Rev P S McChesney. An interesting feature of the program was the scripture reading. This reading was based upon the theme "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" and I was read in sections ascribed to the superintendent, the pastor, the congregation, officers, junior intermediate and primary departments, men and boys, women and girls, each of these reading separately. Recitations were charmingly ren * i i-^I. **_ T aereu Dy nine ivusses uaue umauu and Annie Laurie Singleton, also by George Ansel Nelson, Steele Singleton and Miss Mert'se Mcintosh and Peden Montgomery. The most brilliant feature of the exercises was perhaps the address of Rev James 0 Reavis, D D, of the faculty of the r Theological Seminary at Columbia. Dr Reavis is an able, eloquent and forceful speaker, and every word of his address was interesting to the four or five hundred men, women and children who heard him on this occasion Sunday afternoon. Dr Reavis also occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church here Sunday at the regular morning and evening services.

Animosities arising out of the municipal campaign ending in the primary at Charleston Tuesday,October 12, with the apparent nomination for Mayor of Tristram T Hyde over the incumbent, John P Grace, by a majority of 19 votes, flamed into bloodshed when the city Democratic Executive committee met at noon last FriHav to canvass the returns. Hardly had the chairman, Joseph A Black a Hyde man, declared the meeting open before a shot struck down Sidney J Cohen, a young reporter of the Charleston Evejjng Post, and in the more or less general exchange of shots which followed four men, all of the Grace faction, were wounded, two of them seriously. During the affray two or three ballot boxes and several club books were hurled out through windows and in the ensuing scramble in the street two men were clubbed. W A Turner has a bullet in his righ lung, W E Wingate is wounded in the hip and has a scalp contusion, Harry L Wilensky is shot in the arm and Jeremiah O'Brien is shot in the ankle. Max Goldman and Tristram T Hyde, Jr, suffered minor bruises. Then men were arrested and afterward released on bail, but of these none is charged with actual participation in the affray. Some of them are he:d for carrying concealed weapons, the others being merely detained. Stories of the clash differ wideband no dependable account in detail as to just how or by whom the shoot of the court, as the result of the hearing on a writ of habeas corpus by Circuit Judge Mendel L Smith Monday morning, the two men having been arrested by the police last Friday. The jury, composed of Andrew J Geer, foreman; E P Guerard, Samuel G Stoney, Edward N Chisholm, John E Gibbs and T Grange Simons Jr, retired at 8:15 o'clock last night. During the three davs of the inquest in the county courthouse sixtynine witnesses appeared. Members of the executive cor mittee were 1 heard first. Ten witnesses were heard Monday, twenty-four Tuesday and thirty-five yesterday. Tpsfimnnv rpcrarHincr thp first <shnt conflicted. A number of witnesses asserted that Henry J Brown fired the first shot, while a number of others stated that he did not. Testimony on other points also conflicted. ing was done has been determined. Forty naval militiamen guard the committee headquarters and 250 other men are held in armories under command of Col E M Blythe of the First infantry. Gov Manning at Columbia, immediately upon being informed of the shooting, ordered the Washington Light Infantry, a Charleston company, to the scene. The company, with bayonets fixed, quickly cleared the streets outside the building where it was feared trouble would develop. Later the guardsmen aided the police and spelial deputies in patrolling the street and remained on duty late Friday night. LATER REPORTS. At 1:07 o'clock this morning the jury in the coroner's inquest into the death of Sidney J. Cohen, a reporter for the Evening Post, shot in the room of the City Democratic Executive Committee last Friday, an nounced the following verdict: "That the said Sidney J. Cohen came to his death October 10, 1915, at the Roper hospital, Charleston county, from a 38-calibre pistol shot wound, said pistol having been fired from the vicinity of doorway between anteroom and executive committee room on southwest corner King and George streets, Charleston county, by party or parties unknown to the jury, on October 15, 1915." Henry J Brown, a former ice wagon driver, and Edward R McDonald, a stevedore, are in the nnnnfu Jail onKJonf tr? fnrthpr ordprs Says Simple La Better Case ot Chronic Constipation Yields to Mild Laxative Compound. Writing from The House of the Good Shepherd, at Sunnyside Aye and 50th St, Seattle, where she is the i guest of her life-long friend the j Reverend Mother, Mrs Mary Austin, I widow of a wealthy San Franciscan, | who lost everything in the fire of j 1906, says she experienced speedy relief from the use of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and that she found this gentle, pleasant-tasting laxative more effective than several doses of castor oil. The active principles of several laxative herbs are combined in Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin to act on the eliminative organs in an easy, naturaf way, without griping or other discomfort. Its freedom from opiate or narcotic drug of every description, combined with its gentle action and positive effect, make it the ideal laxative for family use. Druggists everywhere sell it for fifty cents a bottle. Big Rattler Killed. Mr W N Clarkson, a progressive farmer of the Heinemann section, reports to us that while cutting hay ?e day last week the machine beonme so badly clogged that the cutting blades refused to vibrate. The driver, seeing that a quantity of hay was clogged into the machinery, was about to put his hand in to remove it when he heard a peculiar noise, which proved to be that of a large rattlesnake caught in one of the blades. About twelve inches of the serpent's body was projecting upright through the hay and, being in severe pain, was striking furiously j about him. Mr Clarkson says the I noise of the rattles probably saved i his driver from being bitten. The ! snake,when killed, measured about 5 feet and carried a bunch of IT rati ties and a button, which, according to theory, indicates that the snake was about 18 years old. The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head Because of its tonic and laxative effect. LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE is better than ordinary Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor ringing in head.
