Columbia, March 11.?Senator and **!<
Mrs. Tillman spent a couple of hours ?
in Columbia today. Senator Tillman
was on his way home from the meet- ju
ing of the trustees of Clemson Col80s
lege. Mrs. Tillman had been on a
visit to relatives at Greenwood.
Senator Tillman looks remarkably ^
well. He said that he had never
felt better. His face is well filled, ?rC
inc
his complexion ruddy and healthy,
and altogether he looks well. He is gQE
devoting himself to indoor exercise ..
,l , a tha
and says it is fine. g.R
Senator Tillman says that the .
Clemson board transacted consider- nQj
able business. The board has asked j .
that Major Marcus B. Stokes, originally
of Hampton county, be detailed ern
to Clemson College as commandant .
to take the place of Capt. Minus, f
resigned. for
Senator Tillman expects to spend mJt
a month in Trenton, as he does not not
think the Democrats can do very nec
much in the tariff situation, and he a^.
is satisfied that the Republicans will gon
carry out the'r policies. N *
Senator Tillman said he did not orn
know what President Taft would do an(J
with Dr. Crum. He had heard noth- ^tti
lng whatever about any appointment g^.
for Dr. Crum and would not be sur- j
prised If he were not appointed to ing{
btaiilH Via hp snrnris
any piauc, uu. ? r ? CQU
ed if he were given some place in ha^
Washington. mei
Senator Tillman talks with much aQd
interest about his fight against the ^
confirmation of the appointment of ^
Dr. Crum, and sai \ that one of the g
remarkable things about his fight ?
ven
was for hours he held up sixty sen- ^
ators, while he was relating his reWftS
mlniscences of reconstruction and his
- fight with McLaurin. Qecl
The senator says he feels quite
well enough to go out on another
of his lecture tours, and incidentally
lie thinks that the "wild talk" in Toll
which he indulged while on his lecturing
tour had done much to clear
up the atmosphere with regard to ^
the race question. age(
Mrs. Tillman 6ays that Senator
Tillman is not to go on any lecture Moi
tours, but she is quite willing for urlj
him to go to Europe again. she
Senator Tillman continues to be on (
much interested in the Navy Yard ^a,
at Charleston, and says that he had gtat
the work there well cared for in ave,
the appropriation bill, and that "as ^
long as he is alive the Charleston
yard has nothing to fear."?News ^

the earth was in danger of colliding tan

of such an event is about "one in pia(
one hundred millions, raised to the

"A more possible danger,' he added,
"but nevertheless an improbable
one, is that the solar system In its ?
journey through space may come
close enough to some such a dark
body as to cause a disturbance in the (
orbital motion of planets and per- w'h
haps carry some of them, the earth chi

so remote, however, that there need Gis

IN DEAD EARNEST TO FIGHT
CONSUMPTION.
Aiken Employs a Trained Nurse Who
Will Devote All of Her Time to
Tuberculosis.
The Columbia Record says Miss
Susie S. Ravenel has been employed
fiy the Aiken County Antituberculosis
League, as a trained nure, to as
?ist in us work or prevention or the
white plague. The league has been
/ery active In Its Inauguration of a
var against consumption. Although
:he league has been organized only
i few weeks, practical results are
low being obtained, and the people
ire being instructed in the means
)f preventing disease.
It is only recent years that means
'or cope with this dreaded disease
iave been discovered and this knowlidge
is not yet prevalent among the
people; and the dissemination of this
cnowledge is the primary object for
he league in this county. No dues
ire paid for membership in the
eague, but voluntary subscriptions
ire being received by the officers for
he prosecution of the work. Many
>f the Northern visitors have liberaly
helped in this work.
Miss Ravenel has already comnenced
her work. She devotes th*
orenoon to the work, making visits
0 all parties who may need her
issistance. No charge is made for
ler assistance, which is given not
rom a charitable standpoint, but
s a matter of giving valuable suggestions
for the caring of patients
nd prevention of the spread to oth:r
members of the family, and the
iblic, with whom infected persons
ay come in contact. Miss Ravenel
las had long experience as a nurse,
;nd she has entered the work with
1 spirit. She will make periodical
eports^ to the president of the
eague, Dr. Filmore Moore.
The trained nurse will conduct
ter work In conjunction with, and
n harmony with the board of health,
fiss Ravenel will also consult with
he physicians of the city, and work
a conjunction with them. Such
ases that are reported to her, as
eeding assistance, advice, or in any
lanner that she can help them, she
/111 visit. The object of this is, of
ourse, to prevent the further spread
f the disease, and it is stated that
/here persons refuse to heed friendly
nd voluntary suggestions for the
afety of the people against tuberulosis,
such cases will be referred
o the board of health, to take such
ction as they see fit for public
afety.

SHOULD SHUN SOFT DRINK3.
Jovernment Pure Food Evpert Warns
Girl Students.
Washington, March 10. ? The
langers of "the soft drink habit"
md the innocence with which girls
)ecome addicted to it, were emphasized
tonight by Dr. Harvey, with W.
kViley, the Government's pure food
jxpert, in a lecture before one hunIred
girl students at Holy Cross
\cartemy.
"If you only know what I know
about what those soft drinks con:ain
you would abstain from them,"
lie said. "It will surprise you to
know that most of them contain
more caffeine than coffee, and a drug
svhich is more deadly. So beware
Df the soft drink. It is more harmful
than coffee, and I advise all
young people against the use of this
stimulant. Perhaps you would be
interested to know I have collected
more than one hundred samples
of soft drinks sold at soda fountains,
and each contains caffeine, and
many of them a deadly drug."

A CKItS I SLAIN
In His Study at Newark, N. J, by
Assassins
SHOT AT WOMAN ALSO
Three Men Walk into Room of the
Rev. Erasmus Ansion and Shoot
Him to Death?Dead Priest Had
%
Ousted Several Trustees, Causing
Much Dissatisfaction.
Newark, N. J., March 10.?Three
men whose features appear to have
been concealed by their heavy over- _
coats and slouch hats, walked into \
the study of the Rev. Erasmus Ansi-'
on, pastor of the Polish Church of
St. ^tanislaus, this morning and
opened fire upon him. Three bul
icld iiuui uitn lui w revoiwro nit me
priest, killing him instantly.
The trio turned to make their escape
and found their way blocked
by Mrs. Antonio Sewrzytska, the *
housekeeper. One of the visitors v
turned his revolver upon her, inflict- /
ing a wound which is likely to prove
fatal. Then all three made their escape.
The police were put to work on
the case within a few minutes of
the murder' and by noon had
rounded up four suspects, one of
whom the housekeeper, now in St
Barnasbas Hospital, thought bore a
resemblance to the leader of the trio
who had done the Bhooting. The others
she was unable to identify. All
four denied any knowledge of the affair.
No adequate theory to account for
t.he attack upon the priest has beea
presented to the police. It was learned
that there has recently been con- siderable
factional trouble in the congregation,
and Father Ansion, when
he came from Paterson to take
charge of the church five months ago,
made several changes which are said
to have caused widespread dissatisfaction.
All the men arrested are members
of St. Stanislaus church, and the.
police ordered the arrest of all the
former trustees, whom the dead
priest ousted when he took charge
of the parish.
The police tonight arrested three
men, suspects, all Poles, who reBlde
near the church. At the same time
it was announced that the belief was
growing that the priest's assassins
were not Newark men, although It
was thought that the murder has
been planned here and that some of
those under arrest may be able to
shed light on these plans.
A crowd of 5,000 Poles gathered
early tonight in front of the rectory
in which lay the body of the murdered
priest, expressing their grief ,and
demanding to see the body. The
police succeeded in getting It under
control by promising to grant Its demand.
Accordingly, a double line of
police was arrayed from the street
through the house, and for two hours
or more the Poles marched in single
file past the casket In which the
body lay.

Laurens Breaks a Record Covering
Fifteen Years.
Laurens, March 10.?For the first
time in about fifteen years a Laurens
jury has returned a straight verdict
of murder without a recommen
dation to mercy. Tnis occurrea tnis
afternoon in the Court of General
Sessions, when the jury returned a
verdict of guilty in the case of the

and killed old man Joseph Carter
at the Cedar Grove church at the
funeral of one of Anderson's children.

without immediate provocation.

assault were tried today in /the
General Sessions Court, one against

young girl in Waterloo Township,
the home of both. Duncan was

by the jury. The other case was
against Will McCollough, colored,
charged with attempting to ravish
a young white girl in Sullivan's
Township. The jury returned a verdict
of not guilty.
"WEATHER CLERK EXPLAINS
How He Made Such a Mistake About
tiio Weather.
Washington, March 8.?Just how
it happened that there was such a
blizzard in Washington March 4, and
in the fact of his telegrams to Mr.
raft, on the night of 3rd that the
weather would be clear, was explained
to the president today by
Willis T,. Moore, chief of the United
Stalo weal her bureau. Prof. Moore
admitted he had waited for several
days with some timidity before
attempting to "pay his
respects"* to Mr. Taft. Mr. Moore
has an explanation which he brought
to a climax with all sorts of proof
that 110 such "highs" and "lows" ever
before produced such a snowstorm,.
