THE LEDGER Fhurlow S. Carter, EDITOR AND MANAGER. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1002*. Henderson Will Heed No Plea From The Party. Even the President Joins in the Effort to Get the Speaker to Withdraw His Decision. Dubuq< e, Iowa, Sept. 10.? Speaker Henderson, finding that ma tidvvs in iuipi*t;i w mw iruai ment of trusts by reducing the tariff in whole or in part, are not in atcord with the news of many of hits party in Iowa, Hub this day declined to accept ths nomination for congress and has withdrawn from the race. - Dubuque, la., Sept. 17.? Henderson is as positive today in his declination of the congressional nomination as he was last night, notwithstanding the flood wf telegraois'.from all parts of the country protesting against his decision and imploring him to reconsider the same President Roosevelt sent n telegram, deploring his action and urging him to withdraw his declinatim, but the speaker replied that his decision was final. Other telegrams of the same tenor were received fiom all the members of the na tional committee and national congressional committee, Senators Allison, Hanna, Spooner, Lodge, Fairbanks and others. The third district congressional committee will meet here tomor row and act upon the speaker's declination. There is a question whether the committee can fill the vacancy or whether another convention will be necessary. "/ created sensation in wa8111ngton. 'Washington, Sept. 17.?Speaker Henderson's refusal of renomination to the fifty eighth congress has caused the most profound political sensation the national capital has experienced in many years. Jubilation reigns at Democratic campaign headquarters, where it is claimed its effect will be the election of 30 new Democrats to the bouse this fall. Secretary Shaw and Secretary Wilson have both been stunned by the announcement and are at a loss to explain the speaker's course. Many Republicans here are indignant that he should have taken a step so vitally affecting the welfare of the party without consulting any of the Republican leaders. ?Hero ia the eath administered in a drummers league: "I, John Moyor, do hereou and herein most everlastingly and diabolically swear, that I will never reveal and always steal all the trade secrets I can for the benefit of the Most August Order. 1 further swear by the baldheaded Jack of Clubs that I will not give, carve held or cut prices below the regular rates.'' r?s Know What You are Taking Tf7U i.l._ 1 m . _ rr iidu ^uu i?ko sjrove 8 lasieleas Chill Tonic because the formula is plainly printed on every bottle showing that it is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form.

Gran tham, living jus4 across Little Fee Dee in the Kentyre neighbDt*hood, in returning to his home from Dillon, was tired upon by parties on the roadside. Ho was struck by several shot, some of them evidently penetrating tho abdominal cavity. He lingered in great agony until today. The homicide is supposed to have been the result of un old feud over a year's standing. All parties concerned were in Dill ion during the luy and before leaving for home had taken on a good supply of liquor and it is supposed that the assassins of Mr. Grantham were waiting for their victim at a certain house near the roadside where it Hppcars to tie a common practice for the thirsty to stop and get water.

Two parties suspected have been arrested, John Miller and Clarington Horn, and they have been carried to Marion to jail. Piatt On The Trnsts. Connecticut Senator Explains The Difference Between the Parties. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 16 ?The Republican State convention assembled in the auditorium tonight Ito transact the t usiness prellmiInary to the more important pro gramme or tomorrow; which call* for the nomination of candidates for the higher State offices. An important feature of the session was a resolution offered by State Senator lvnealy endorsing President Roosevelt for the presi dential nomination in 1904. The resolution was reffered to the committee on resolutions. Senator O. H. Piatt as tempo rary chairman of the convention umde an address on the subject of trust. He said: "The Democratic party proposes to destroy trusts and the business conducted by them; the Republican party proposea to regulate trusts and the business conducted by them, so that no unfair advantage shall be takon of the peoplo of the United States and to the full limit of its constitutional power it will carry out this policy. "We deny that the tariff is the nictber of trust, we affirm that the tariff is parent of prosperity." Hand on hand with the policy of protection, ho. said, was the policy of reciprocity. The convention after transacting routine]business adjourned until morning. Who will get the appointment of collector for the port, to till the plaqp made vucant by the death of Col. R. M. Wallace, is a question that is engaging the attention ef those who can make some claim to u republican record whether old stagors or new converts. It is said that Capers will press the claims of L.

Lancaster, Sept. 16.?Excepting the Charleston meeting of | 1900, when the National Educa- <j ti'inal association helped to aL tract tho teachers of the State, no 1 meaLinor nf tho Stntn i 'nl/vi-o.) 1 P *-? %M IV v/vtui CU ? Teachers' association has ever been so largely attended by teachers as that at Lancaster, j Sept. 0-10,-and from a financial view it is the host of thera all, notwithstanding the fact that Lancaster is tho most inaccessible place in which the association has ever met To Prof. Lee 1 and to tho increased interest in educational matters this result should be credited. 1 Some of the speakers could 1 not attend, but such as did presented able and practical papers. Those of Prof. Howard of Geor' getown on "Industrial Education" > and of Prof. Crockett of Rock Hill on "The Defects of tho Comi mon schools and how to Remedy them," attracted considerable > notice and excited some discuss' ion. The teachers present seqjned a unit upon the importance of i industrial education. Prof. Crockett's paper and the discussion upon it urged among other things that teachers remain iu a locality long enough to get the confidence of all concerned, then use their influence Lto better general condition, especially to increase the attendance and to ex tend the sessions hv menoe of self help. President Wallace's address was an able appeal to teachers to prepare themselves better along all lines for more efficient seruce. fie also expressed an unwillingness to stand for reelection. It was } expressed as the sense of the body ( 5 that the address be printed. 1 Among the prominent persons ' ) present were President Miller of 1 the State college, Principal At- f ' kins of the Slater institute at 1 WiuHtone-Salem, N. C , and 1 5 State Superintendent McMahan. 1 Dr. Miller made a talk on silk 1 culture, the cocoons being lined t out before the audience during tbe delivery of the address. It ( was well received. * Prof. Atkins spoke on "Faith," i a telling uppeul was made for 4 faith in our own possibilities, in - our women, in our children, in ! material possessions and in our white neighbers. The address i gave increased hope to all hear1 ing it. 1 JUXTAPOSITION OK THE RACE. Supt. McMahan delivered a friendly yet frank address. He admits that an element still doubts the advisability of educating the negroes, but thinks sentiment in t favor of their education is grow- i ing. He notices that negroes get ] I the best treatment where whites c are-best educated, and adyises re- j * cognition of the present political I and social condition with reliance | upon the inseparabilitycf the fate of the whites and blacks tose-'i I' cure fair treatment of the latter 1 by the former. He believes rap- ^ id moral development of negro ( pupils will do much good, ospec- ( iaJy toward converting those whites who now may be opposed j to their education. This address j will do much good. Mr. McMa- j han seems to bo one of those ( strong and good mon who would do right and trust the future to adjust difficulties. The following were elected officors: J. E. Wallaco, president; J i M. 1). Lee, first vice president; J R. J. Crockett, second vice pres- 1 i ident; J. L.Cain, secretary, and * ' R. S.
