Governor McSweooey Semis Telegram
of Congratulation to
Captain Hoy ward.
Columbia Record, 11th inst.
Governor McSweeney last night
sent the following telegram to
Capt. D. C, Ileyward at Wnlterboro:
4'Permit me to extend my congratulations
and best wishes. May
your administration as governor
be successful in every particular,
as 1 believe it will lie.
44M. B. McSweonev."
The Governor Elect To The Governor.
Walterhoro, S. (\, Sept. 11.
Gov. M. It. McSweeney.
1 heartily appreciate your tele
gram. Fully realizing my responsibility
and with a heart full
of gratitude to the Democratic
voters of South Carolina I can
only pray that my administration
will result in great good to all
citizens of our State.
D. C. Hey ward.
A prosperous and progressive
oitizen was heard to oxpress the
hope that Hey ward's admimstra
tion would be like MeSweeuey's 111
one respect at least, and that is
; the absence of so much politics
and the presence of more business.
This is a high and deserved
compliment to Governor McSwee- '
ney and it's a good course to fol- 1
low. Our political differences
have been settled at tho ballot box '
and let them stay sottled until the 1
next time. In tho interim every- y
body ought to pull for tho up- *
building of the material interests (

Charleston Elects Von Kolnitz. c
Charleston, Sept. 10. ?Von N
Kolnitz was elected senator over 1
Grace by about 250 votes. Some
attempts at unfairness in the con- 11
duct of the election were made, I1
but actual fraud was undoubtedly
prevented by the watchfulness of
Von Kolnitz' friends. ^
An Army Wiped Out. ^
San Franc'sco, Sept. 11. ? Hon- ^
olulu reports just received here j,
today say that 9,000 bodies, 4,000
of which have been recover- ^
ed, the rest being swept away by p
waters of BataDge river, is the
result of tho disaster which has v
overtaken the military forces of ^
Borneo. Through tho ravages of t|
cholera, nearly the entire military a
corps of natives sent to punish
the head hunters of Borneo has (.
been wiped out of existouce. It
in belioved that only 1,500 out Hj
of 10,000 soldiers escaped.

tempts were successful. There It
a feeling of intense indignation
among the better sentinent of tht
community and it is thcopinion ol
all who favor honest elections thai
drastic measures should bo resorted
to that honesty in the futurt
might be accomplished at the bal
lot boxes.
Concerted efforts were mndi
yesterday to exclude Von Kolnit;
watchers from the polls and it wai
not until Chairman Thayer weni
in person and overruled tho objection
of tho managers to Vol
Kolnit/.'s watchers. Kvon then
the authority of Mr. Thayer wai
disputed by certain managers, bu
he ffn;.lly succeeded in establishing
his rights. He told the managers
that ho was conducting the
election and ho was responsible
for tho conditions and that Von
Kolnit/. was entitled to have
watchers at the polls.
REPEATING.
There were many attempts at
repeating and in many cases the
attempts were successful in spite
of the vigilant watching. A well
known politician said today that
there must have been at least 400
fraudulent votes cast, many of
them heing cast under false
names.
II. K. Moure, a druggist, who
ives in Ward 1, found that his
rote had been stolen from him
vhen he stopped at his precinct
0 vote for the candidates of his
hoice. The managers told him
hat a man giving his name as H.
Lv. Moore had voted early in the
lay uud that he could not vote. ,
Mr Moore pronounced the vote as
1 fraud and stated openly that ho
ivould prosecute the mau if he
:ould learn his name.
It is expected that the papers
,vhich are in the hands ot Solicitor
dildebrande of frauds at the
irst primary will bo reinforced
>y evidence of fraudulent at.
empts at the primary yesterday
md that the solicitor will be urg
id to proceed against the violators
igorously. It is understood that
ho solicitor is satisticd that ho

Washington, Sept. 10. ?-President
Uuosevelt arrived here at
G;30 o'clock this morning in a
special train over the Southern
railroad, and left at 7 o'clock via
the Pennsylvania road for New
York. The president and his par

; two cars attached to the regular
1 train. From New York the Sylph
' will convoy the president to Oys^
ter Hay.
t During the half hour his car
was in the depot a number of railJ
roadmen, nevspaper men and
travelers gathered around it in the
hope of getting a glimpse of the
J president. They were disappoint5
cd in this, however, for the al- 1
s most continuous traveling of the
^ three weeks had taxed his strength
and ho was en joying tho sleep and

North Carolina. No incident

Several White House officials

Notorious iVhiskey Dealer Shot.
Will Green, one of the well
known "Green boys," whiskey
dealers of lower Buford township,
lies now in the Union county jail
with a bullet in his leg. He was
6hot in an uttempt made to arrest
him by constable Melton of Buford
township Sunday night
about twelve o'clock. The con

otuuiu nun Huverui warrants issued |
against him for retailing by
Squire D. C. Montgomery, and
with three assistants, went to
Green's home Sunday uight.
Green was on an expedition into
South Carolina and while he was
over there in the evening, dispensary
constables got after him,
captured his liquor aid chased
him out of the State. As ho came
homo with two or three negroes,
he constable's force fell upon
him to arrest him Some of
Green's crowd tired and several
shots wore fired as he attempted
to run, one of them striking him
in the back. The ball went down
through the thigh and lodged in
the leg, making an ugly wound.
Seeing that he was badly wounded
the constable did not try to
bring Green, but yesterdav evening
constable liivens and Deputy
Sheriff Mayers, taking county physician
Blair with them to look after
the wounds, went down and
brought Green to town and lodged
him in jail.
Green is one of the men who <
have for a long time been terrorizing
that section. Judge Shaw i
once fined him and his brother
nearly $1,000. He was iu the
