Scraps and .facts. ? One million sixty-two thousand and fifty-four immigrants entered the United States through the port of New York during the fiscal year ended June 30, an increase of 199,075 over last year. The largest number, 222,606, came from southern Italy. Hebrews were second, with 125.000. The immigrants brought with them a ' total of $19,000,000. ? A singular military speed test between an airship and automobile was carried out at Zurich the other day by 1 Swiss army officers. Major Schaeck - lha I was sent to carry uisiwiuiica ?ivn?i city, which was supposed to be invested by an enemy at a distance of about nine miles. Twelve motor cars, varying from forty to sixty horsepower, were sent in pursuit. They were to pursue for five hours, and had fifteen minutes after the landing of the aeronauts in which to effect their seizure. For two hours the balloon disappeared behind clouds at an altitude of 7,600 feet, and appeared near Baden. The automobiles dashed in pursuit, but bad ground favored the aeronauts, who could not be overtaken within the fifteen minutes allowed after coming to earth. The balloon won the contest, which is to be annual. ( ? Paris. July 12: The verdict of the court martial of Capt. Dreyfus, condemning him for betraying French army secrets to Germany, was annulled by the court of cassation by which the ?? ? TKfi fnrmPr VPT uuse was ic?itn.?i.v .... diet is annulled without ordering a new trial, which was the point for , which his counsel contended in the rehearing just closed. As a result of the verdict Dreyfus will re-enter the army with the stain upon his honor wiped out. The report is current in army circles that his promotion to the rank of major has been decided upon and he will take command under this higher rank immediately. Dreyfus was not In the court when the verdict was rendered. His brother Matheu. who has been his constant attendant at the rehearing, at once rushed off to carry 1 the good news to Captain Dreyfus, who awaited him at home. ? Washington, July 10: Officials of ' the navy are greatly pleased over the news received this morning from Manila of the safe arrival at Olongape, P. I., of the dry dock Dewey. When it was first proposed that this immense 1 steel structure should be towed half way round the world, many wise oiu sea dogs shook their heads and predicted that the expedition would meet with disaster. As it was. the trip was marked with several mishaps, but none so serious as to damage the big craft. The start was made from Chesapeake Bay December 28, last. Never before lr. naval annals of the world has such a feat been attempted. Captain Holstrey, who managed the expedition, is being warmly praised today for his achievements. The Dewey cost $1,124,000, is 500 feet in length and capable of docking the largest United States battleship in four hours. ? The rural free delivery service has been hampered by all sorts of petty regulations, one compelling patrons to purchase boxes from one of the 200 1 listed manufacturers, who have put on the market 300 different styles of boxes, approved by the department, costing from 50 cents to $4 each. This order has been rescinded to go into efTect on August 1. The order says that patrons of rural routes will be permitted to construct their own boxes, provided that in doing so they conform to the requirements of the department as to size, durability, safety and protection from the inclemency of the weather. In order to maintain the government protec- 1 tion of the mail placed in rural box- ' es the patron must secure the approval of the postmaster of the office which serves the route, and paint on , the box the words "Approved by the i Postmaster General." ? Omaha, Neb., July 10: Mae Thomas. the nineteen-year-old girl who , stole a $350 diamond in a jewelry < store here last month and swallowed 1 the gem when about to be arrested, ^ was sentenced to serve five years in 1 the penitentiary. Miss Thomas broke 1 nrlorl hvutprionllv \vhf?n thf> judge pronounced sentence. In re- ' turning the verdict the jury asked i leniency, and Judge Sutton announced < that he reduced the term from seven 1 to five years on that account. The I case attracted attention all over the 1 country because of the efforts made ' to recover the diamond which was lo- > cated in the girl's stomach by means ' of an X-ray machine. Before sen- < . tence was pronounced Miss Thomas 1 said: "I did not steal the diamond i nor do I know what has become of it. i . ?' If I swallowed it, I don't know it. I I did not intend to steal the stone, and i only my fright at the appearance of 1 the detective caused me to let go of it." ? San Francisco. July 10: One hun- < dred and sixty-six settlements that I have been effected by fire insurance companies indicate that in the business section of San Francisco more than $100,000,000 will be paid in cash to fire losers. The average adjusted loss in the 166 instances mentioned is < $84,325. the total payments being $14,000,000. The round value of the properties is given at $19,000,000, by the adjusters, consequently the reduction for earthquake damage and for all other causes is $5,000,000. "German Insurance companies will pay in full." sa4d F. Bopp, the German consul here. "I am in a position to know that this is true, and 1 wish to advise 1 every person doing business with German companies here not to accept 1 any compromise," The consul would not commit himself on the attitude of Emperor William toward the cornDa nies which showed a tendency to shave their claims. It was inferred, however, that the emperor ha?l practically ordered the companies to set- ' tie on a dollar-for-dollar basis. ( ? Sebastapol, Russia, July 11: An attempt was made at 1 o'clock this afternoon to assassinate Vice Admiral J Chouknin. commander of the Black Sea fleet. The admiral was wounded \ and taken to a hospital. Admiral I Chouknin's condition is extremely se rious. The bullet lodged in his lung, making breathing diflicult. The , would-be assassin is a sailor, who hid i in the bushes and shot at the admiral j as he was walking in the garden of | his villa. The sailor is still at large, j Vice Admiral Chouknin has been 1 blamed for his severity and to his 1 treatment of the crews of the ships , under his command the mutiny on < board the battleship Kniaz Potemkin. < in June and July last year, was at- j tributed. An attempt was made on , the life of the admiral Feb. ; last. ? A woman appeared at his residence during the afternoon of that day. drew a rapid-fire pistol and tired four shots at him, each bullet reaching the < mark. As she turned to escape, the woman was killed by the orderly on fluty at Chouknin's door. The crime, beyond doubt, was political. Some time elapsed before the police were able to establish the identity of the woman, but it finally became known that she was a Hebrew, named Cecelia Shabad, and a former member of the Hebrew Bund of Minsk, where her father was a well-to-do merchant. ?hf orb tulle (fuquirrt. YORKVILLE, S. C.t FRIDAY, JULY 13, There is a widespread impression that Senator Tillman is for R. I. Manning for governor, and that he is opposed to Blease. Some people say that certain remarks made by Senator Tillman in his Sandy Flat speech were intended as a clear indication of his preference. The most common trick of the political demagogues is to say harsh things with a view to arousing the passions of the unthinking and where demagogues are plentiful it is extremely difficult for the average citizen to maintain a cool head. Up to this time, however, the people do not seem to have been very much stirred. As a rule they prefer to leave the politicians to do the quarreling, and as matters stand that is about the best way to handle the situation. Therf. are a great many people who are unable to understand why there was no thorough personal investigation of the members of the former board of dispensary directors. As to what the members of the committee, other than Messrs. Lyon and Christensen would have done, Is a matter of speculation; but It is Just as well not to forget that the action of Governor Hey ward had the effect of putting a stop to the committee's efforts in this direction. Immediately after the Parker testimony, and so far as Is known, without any intimation of a desire on the part of the committee for such a proceeding, 3overnor Hey ward ordered the attorney general to prosecute. That ended the matter so far as the members of the state board were concerned. The governor's letter to the attorney general implied charges and the accused ?ould not be forced to testify under the institution. Even the committee could not make them give testimony that might tend to incrfminate them. That the action of the governor was prematHoro ic vorv liftlp eround for question. The testimony of Mr. Parser was very important; but it was *very bit hearsay and would not have seen sufficient to convict a negro loaf?r of simple assault?not before a jury worn to render a verdict in accordince with the law and the evidence. The best that can be said about this testimony is that it gave specific corroboration of facts that the public already knew to be true. If the governar had been less precipitate the memaers of the state board would have no loubt been induced to throw a little more indirect light on the situation. But as we understand it the committee, ar at least Messrs. Lyon and Christen?en. had nothing to do with the butting in of the governor. One thing is very sure, the committee could not be doing two pieces of work at the same time and if they were on special committee work they were not on legislative work, or if they were on legislative work they had no right to double pay. Precedent makes no difference and the fact that several an the committee refused to take double pay at the time shows that there was a reasonable doubt as to its pro priety. The ract mat tt is not a new thins does not mean that it is not a bad thing.?Florence Times. It is surprising how unreasonable some people can be in discussing that alleged double pay matter. In the case of our contemporary above, we would think that it would be deterred by a fear that its readers have ordinary common sense and would not swallow such an argument as it would try to stuff them with. Ordinary legislative work, whether on the floor of the house or in the committee rooms is supposed to be transacted while the house is in session. Messrs. Lyon and Christensen did a grot deal of work while the house was not in session. They also discharged their legislative and special committee duties at the same time. We do not understand that they neglected either duty. But there is no doubt of the fact that they worked. It Is true that some of the members of the special committee refused to accept pay for committee work during the session; but it should not be forgotten that with the exception of Messrs. Lyon and Christensen the committee did not do much work at any time, and there we fear, is the real rub. If Messrs. Lyon and Christensen had let matters rock as did certain other members of the committee, very likely the Tinns would not only have been willing for them to take double pay; but it would have had no opposition to Lyon's election as attorney general beside. According to the arguments of some of our contemporaries, if a lawyer member of the general assembly should earn a fee from a client at an mid hour while tht* general assemuiy is m session, he should make no charge. EDITORIAL SNAPSHOTS. As we figure it, the repeal of the Brice law would simply give the a.itidispensary crowd bigger majorities in those counties that have already voted out the dispensaries.?Anderson Daily Mail. There is mourning in the mountains, there is sighing by the s-a. a sound of lamentation sweeps o'er woodland and o'er lea; only empty echo answers to the calling trump of fame, for Lumpkin. mighty Lumpkin, has gone and jumped the game.?Charleston Post. Senator Tillman says he does not intend to interfere in the campaign 011 behalf of or in opposition to any of the candidates, except in the case of Mr. Lyon. Because that gentleman dared to undertake an investigation of Tillman's own record he advises the people of South Carolina to defeat his aspiration to office.? Charleston Post. Senator Tillman, criticising the investigating committee, cites Attorney General Youmans' opinion that evidence is lacking upon which to base a prosecution of persons connected with the dispensary. Nevertheless fully a year ago the senator publicly stated that Governor I ley ward should remove the three then members of the state board of control. On what evidence??News and Courier. There are different elements of dispensary supporters, chief among them are the Tillman variety, who admit the rottenness and stealing, but claim that it can be washed and regenerated, and the Blease brand, who like It best as it is. but on one point they are agreed?they don't want the light turned on. There is nobody whom they attack with such venom as the man with the searchlight.?Chester Lantern. Mr. Fraser Lyon's reply to Senator Tillman was genteel, cool and deliberate, and therefore all the more effective. He didn't lose his head and fly off at the handle, but came back with calm argument. In the exchange he certainly came out ahead. He probably convinced Senator Tillman himself that he, Tillman, endorsed what the minority members of the investigating committee has done. Mr. Lyon's reply was very effective.?Greenville News. No candidate for the senate or house of representatives should receive a vote from the citizens of this county till he has made his position 011 the dispensary clear. This county is against the G. M. I. with its graft and stealing. and the majority of the voters are opposed to any man who is in favor of maintaining that corrupter of politics. Let the candidates speak out in no mistakable terms?Cherokee has spoken and is not yet ready to retract.?Cherokee News. The people are in quite a different frame of mind to what they were ten or fifteen years ago, and while Senator Tillman is probably stronger with the people than he was then, he is not as strong when he undertakes to tell them what to do, or what they must not do, and he will find that they are doing their own thinking, and as stated, while they will vote for him, they will not let him dictate or direct what they should do in other matters, and we think he will find the dispensary question one of those other matters. ?Newberry News and Herald. Senator Tillman criticised the investigating committee because of its "letting up" on the Newberry end of the Investigation. Mr. Lyon voted with the minority on this question? as the senator would have wished. The senator criticised the committee because it did not force Mr. Parker to disclose the name of Lanahan's representative. On that question Mr. Lyon voted as the senator would have wished. The senator criticised the committee for receding from its position holding up whisky claims. Again Mr. Lyon voted as the senator would ? -va? Mr i.von is the nave aunscu. ..? ?? ? one candidate for a state office whom the senator makes war upon.?News and Courier. O great and mighty Tillman, from whom all perfect political prognostications come, we beseech thee this day to give us our daily instructions in politics, so that we may be governed thereby. Thou art the only true political god and unto thee we come for succor and relief. Hast thou not given to us the great moral institution that has reduced (?) drunkenness, decreased (?) taxes, and taught us how to save our hard earned dollars by passing them over the counters of the dispensary? Is it not thee. O Benjamin, who art too mighty and learned to condescend to come down and canvas the state as do other poor mortals who are seeking the suffrage of the people? We beseech thee to furgive us for the sin of poor Lumpkin. We ask thee to guide and direct us in the path we should tread, for we are meek and lowly and need a guide. All this we ask in the name of dispensary graft, and of demagoguery, of which thou are the chief, promising 10 be guided by thee forever and ever. Amen.?GalYney Ledger. MERE-MENTION.

Bio Failure In Augusta.?Revelation of the financial embarrassment of the firm of cotton factors of Alexander & Alexander, one of the largest in Georgia. develops discrepancies of about $145,000, following the disappearance of Thomas W. Alexander head of the firm, and member of one of the most prominent families in Georgia. Mr. Alexander left Augusta Saturday, after borrowing $200 from a friend, saying he was going to New York. The following night his brother, tsisnop Alexander, the junior member of the firm, received a telegram from him asking that his office desk be opened and three letters found there be delivered. One of the letters was to his partner, in which a statement was made of the financial embarrassment of the firm and saying that if Mr. Alexander was not back in Augusta by Wednesday he would never lie seen again. Another letter was adressed to a local cotton mill president and a third to Mr. Alexander's wife. The manner in which the money was secured has not been made known by the three banks who are losers, except that it was in the shape of loans. The Georgia Railroad bank sustains a loss of $115,000, which was marked off its books yesterday and charged to the surplus and undivided profits account. The National Bank of Augusta loses $7,000 and the National Exchange Bank $2,000. The available assets of the firm amount to about $80,000, while the personal liabilities of T. W. Alexander. in addition to the amount of loans, is about $26,000. In his letter T. W. Alexander states that he alone is responsible that Ids brother knew nothing of the financial end of the business and had nothi ig to do with it. -??? ? Due West. July 10: Dr. F. Y.

Now. almost everybody plows deep, some deeper than others; but all as 0 deep as they can. Three or four farm- ^ ers were discussing conditions on the corner a few days ago. One remarked ? that his poorest cotton this year is on ^ land that gave him the best yield last v year and the other agreed. Then one p said: "I'll tell you what is a fact, the cotton on one field that was plowed J shallow is not looking nearly as well as t the cotton on a field that was plowed h as deep as I could get It." "Well. I 1 have had about the same experience" o said another; "but my cotton on deep 1 plowed land Is catching up and with- ti in another two weeks It will be well a ahead of the other."

J The political situation in this county e has been remarkably quiet up to this r time and continues so with very little a prospects of startling changes In the C near future. It must be admitted, how- P ever, that predictions as to what may n take place within the next few weeks S would be more or less hazardous. As we see it, there are two pretty e well defined political camps in this r county, their Interest centering espe- tl daily on the legislative situation. One t' of these camps desires the nomination a of candidates for the house who will stand for the abolition of the state c dispensary regaraiess ui wimi a^icm may be proposed as a substitute, and P the other desires the nomination of c candidates who will uphold the state t( dispensary In some form?if not as it n now exists then with remodeled ma- a chinery by which it is believed it can be conducted with less scandal than e has heretofore attended it. The people who believe in uphold- * ing the dispensary have called a con- 1 ference to be held in* the court house v next Monday. There has been a good 0 deal of speculation as to what they will r do?whether nominate candidates representative of their views, or merely e adopt resolutions and taking steps 0 looking to united action. There have P been some rumors to the effect that " various citizens have been approached c to allow the use of their names as dis- S dispensary candidates: that a ticket ft has been practically agreed upon In whole or in part, and other rumors to F the effect that there will be no nomi- E nations or suggestions at all. F On the other hand, the people who ft favor the wiping out of the dispensary are desirous of candidates to repre- ft sent their views of the situation. Generally they endorse the course of the ft representatives who have been in the F house during the past two years, and J fnr rnmliitnteS who are ft willing to carry out the same programme. J So the matter seems to stand at the present time, and the probability is J that if there are any important dedevelopmtnts in the matter of legisla- F five representation they will be along E the lines indicated in the foregoing. A CIRCUIT COURT. * In disposing of a Calendar 1 jury j case during the first week of a regular term, the circuit court of this county q broke all records this week. For some time past the statute has \ provided that civil business may be taken up by first week jurors after the ^ sessions business has been disposed of p but because the sessions business generally consumes the first part of the week, nobody is ever calculating on p any Calendar 1 business and the time, ^ after the sessions business is concluded. if there be any is seldom util- p l7.ed. lTpon the sounding of the Calendar s Monday afternoon it developed, as was "p to be expected, that none of the most advanced cases were ready for trial, p ami had it not happened that the attorneys in the case of Mrs. Josie K. Coins vs. Southern railway was ready, court would have broken down j last Monday. The petit jurors showed up Wednes- p day morning pursuant to their discharge and after the completion of a c panel for the only jury case that was p to receive attention the others were allowed to go back home, which most of them were glad to do. The case of Mrs. Coins was based on j alleged injuries sustained by the plaintiff at the hands of the defendant b on the occasion of a big gathering at Tirzah on Sept. 7. 190f?. The plaintiff p had gone from Rock Hill to Tirzah, and owing to the crowded condition of the train was early to seek a place on the \ return trip. She boarded the car some distance from the station. The car jy was severely bumped about during the process of shifting it into position and the plaintiff was more or less bruised ' in consequence of this bumping. She asked for damages in the sum of $2,- tl 000. The railroad company denied res. ci ponsibility for the defendant's alleged E injuries, claiming in the first place bi lat it had not been given sufficient no. ice to enable it to comfortably handle Lich a large crowd as desired to go to nd from Tlrzah and in the second lace that the plaintiff should not have oarded the car until after It had pulld up to the station. The Jury found jr the plaintiff in the sum of $100. he plaintiff was represented by lessrs. Wilson & Wilson and the de?ndant by Mr. J. E. McDonald. After the conclusion of the foregoing ase yesterday afternoon, the Jurors :ere discharged from further attendnce and the court gave its attention 3 such equity and law business as eem to be pressing for a hearing.

Tho rmotAfflna ilonai*tmont hflfl fldnnt ed a new method of measuring the routes on which rural free delivery Is to be established. Up to the present the old system which is being discarded Involved the carrying of a fifth wheel i ?a bicycle wheel, to which was attached a cyclometer. This fifth wheel was attached to the back of the wagon, and i every tenth of a mile would be recorded by the cyclometer. Thus the rural agent, or Inspector, without doing any figuring, could te 1 at a glance the distance of the route. But the fifth wheel, the department has decided, Is too cumbersome and must give way to a ' new system, which while just as sim1 pie, requires the rural agent to do a little figuring to get the distance. One i wheel of the rural agent's wagon Is i measured and to the hub Is attached an , instrument that measures every revolution of the wheel, and when the ru. ral route has been traversed th? revo. lutions are multiplied by the distance covered by the circumference of the wheel and thus the length of the route is established. The order making this change has Just gone into effect and ! in a few weeks every rural agents wa1 gon will be equipped with the new instrument for measuring routes. It is I said the new method is cheaper than . the fifth wheel system, and it is Just ' as accurate. . Steel Cart For the Southern. s Col. R. W. Hunt, division passen. ger agent of the Southern railroad was in YorKvme yesieraay on Dusineas > pertaining to the transportation of the ! troops to Chlckamauga and during . his stay took occasion to shake hands . with some of his numerous friends here. In the course of a conversation with several gentlemen he.took occa sion to mention the fact that the Southern system is giving more or less attention to the new departure In ' steel passenger coaches having purchased the first one that has yet been made, and given orders for the dellvi ery of several more. Speaking of the new car Col, Hunt said that from base t to roof It is of pressed steel. There - is only about an armful of wood, in I trimmings, from platform to platform and this wood Is chemically treated to render It fire-proof. The upholstering Is rattan, a.id one might t throw a lighted match down on a . seat with the assurance that there ! would be no following flame. The . longitudinal construction is especial. ly designed for strength. Going at full speed and coming suddenly to a stop, It Is believed the steel beams of 1 the framework would be strong and r elastic enough to withstand the shock 'r without buckling or being telescoped. ( The steel car would unquestionably telescope any wooden car with which It was coupled, but no wooden car ' could crush into it. And if the steel J car were overturned Its sides are t strong enough to prevent anytning like smashing and there isn't any ( wood to be splintered into kindlings. The Southern has ordered three of | these cars. They will be the first of I their kind to go into commission. I Their operations will be watched with keen interest, as they may mark the beginning of a radical new departure in railway car construction. 1 ROCK HILL AND VICINITY. i | Patent Medicine 8amplee?Arm Broken?Personal and Other Notes. ' Correspondence of the Yorkrille Rnauirer. " Rock Hill, July 12.?Af the special u meeting of the city council Monday evening a subject was brought up 1 which is of vital interest to every parent, but which is little thought of. Alderman Johnson, who is a druggist and who is in position to see the 1 evil of the matter, called attention to J the careless manner In which patent medicine advertisers scatter samples 1 of their products in the yards and piazzas of the city where children ^ can get at them. The children, as everybody knows, are always the ' first to find such things and they rre' quently establish a drug store, play being a doctor, or something of the kind, and when the drug samples are pernicious one can readily see the danger of this practice. Within the [ past week samples of a certain "headache cure" have been scattered pro! miscuously over town and It came j within the writers province to rescue three of these powders from the ' hands of Innocents who were gloating over the find and were preparing to utilize it. A stringent law should govern the distribution of drug sam! pies. The small son of Mr. Genie Garrison living at the Peter Garrison old | home four miles west of the city, fell i and broke his arm below the elbow ; Monday afternoon. The fracture ; was set by Dr. Miller and the boy Is : getting along nicely. Mr. Crawford Brown, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Brown in West ; Main street, who was brought here ' with fever last week, is in a very critical condition. Thursday afternoon his condition, which had been ; considered hopeless by his physician, was thought to be slightly better. A party of boys from the city Is camping for a week on one of the islands In Broad river. The party Is made ud of Messrs. Hiram White, John Reid, James Jenkins, Oliver Flowers, Tom Reld, Harry Davis, Fritz Beach and Loraine Simril. Mayor and Mrs. Roddey have returned from their trip to Virginia and Washington. Mrs. Richard T. Fewell Is visiting her former home In Jackson, Tenn. Mr. Thornwell Neely is sick at his home In Old Point and Richard Fewell is Ailing his position at the Bank of Rock Hill. Edward Finley of YorkvUle, visited friends In this city this week. Mrs. C. K. Schwrar and children have returned from a visit to Virginia. Dr. and Mrs. Clarence Kuykendal and Mrs. J. C. Cauthen left Tuesday morning for Cleveland Springs. Mrs. A. F. Ruff and Miss Margaret, Mrs. Jno. W. O'Neal and little daughter, Mary, followed them Wednesday morning. They will spend a couple of weeks at that popular resort.

Mr. Logan was In point of service as he was perhaps in age, the oldest employee of the paper. Either on the old News or on the News and Courier after the consolidation of the two papers he was connected in some capacity with the editorial department. He was a Confederate soldier, and ever since the war has been engaged in Journalism as a writer chiefly, but also doing something in the advertising line. He has a great reputation in the south as a head line "artist," being able to pift more in the small space of an ordinary head than many writers could put in half column or more. His headlines were bright, witty, sarcastic at times, but always containing the "meat" of the article following. LYON'S REPLY TO TILLMAN. Inveatigator Makes High-Toned Statement of Situation. Mr. Fraser Lyon on last Tuesday gave out the following card in reply to the attack made on him by Senator Till- ' man: Not having been present at the meeting at the State House last night it was impossible for me to know just what remarks had been made by Senator Tillman in regard to myself, but assuming the report in the morning papers to be correct, I will say that it was quite flattering to know the senator has approved of every position I, as one of the minority members of the committee, have taken. I am glad to feel that although denouncing me, Senator Tillman practically approved or an my work and efforts on the investigating committee, if not directly then Indirectly. "He wanted to know why we did not examine the witnesses brought here from Newberry In February. The answer he should know. Had my vote been sufficient the committee would have insisted on the evidence from the witnesses being made part of our records. He wanted to know why the committee did not ask Mr. L. W. Parker who Lanahan's political agent was last year. Senator Tillman should have known by the reports published that I was not responsible for this failure. I did ask those questions. The majority of the committee voted that Mr. Parker should not answer. "Senator Tillman sustained my position in those contentions as well as the matter of payment of $700,000 worth of claims. He asked why was not the manager of the Richland Distillery put on the stand to corroborate the evidence of C. C. Davis; that H. H. Evans had told of Wilson and himself climbing on a table to watch through a transom to see rebates paid to others. The reason is that Brlggs Wilson ct that time manager of the distillery, had moved to Georgia, and we have not been able to get information from him. That, Senatbr Tillman, Is one of the reasons why he was never put on the stand. "About the piano Incident. The committee employed a detective to report all he could And relative to all dispensary affairs. The detective formally and in writing reported to the sub-committee that the Mill Creek Distilling company had given to Governor Tillman a piano. It was the duty of the committee, as I saw It, to inquire into such a report. Mr. Hayes was seen and failed to confirm the report submitted to the committee. After inquiry by committee failing to secure any creditable evidence, the piano incident was dropped and forgotten, especially as Mr. M. A. Malone had previously fully explained the purchase of a piano in 1891. It was never charged or stated by me that Governor Tillman had gotten a piano from a whisky house, but there was a rumor to that effect the official records of the sub-committee will show. That was all that was ever said about the piano. J2ven Senator Tllman insisted upon a full Investigation of every act connected with the dispensary, and I yet fail to see the harm at the failure to find corroboration of the rumor that a piano had been sent him by the Mill Creek Distilling company. "It would be humiliating to me to know that at a public meeting I had been rightfully accused of starting a falsehood; but knowing that I have truth flnH fhflt Spn ator Tillman cannot substantiate his charge in this respect?he not even attempting to do so?the shaft which he has intended to be deadly to me will fall harmlessly at my side." "I cannot believe that the justice loving people of South Carolina would aid Senator Tillman in the accomplishment of his purpose to defeat me. To the people of South Carolina I will say that it is my purpose to continue in the course I have heretofore pursued and will not be moved by personal attack, nor will I bandy abusive epithets with any one. "I regret that Senator Tillman feels personally aggrieved on account of his being investigated, but that has not been an uncommon happening to us In our work. However, Senator Tillman is the only one known to me seeking revenge on acccount of it. Senator Tillman might have inquired what the committee had found in tracking down this one of the many rumors, and I gladly would have told him the reason of our inquiry, but he may have pre'nnrfio the imneinarv arriev ance to have a hook on which to hang abuse instead of argument; or is he really mad because I was doing my duty to the people of the state collecting evidence of the inherent corruption of the dispensary system, which he is working so hard to save? Had I agreed to whitewash the dispensary system would such a tirade have been directed against me, I wonder? "(Signed.) J. Fraser Lton." "Columbia, July 10, 1906." HICKORY GROVE NOTES.

Aiken special of July 11, to News and Courier: Mrs. S. A. Chabin, a white woman, about sixty years old, who lives about Ave miles from Aiken, was criminally assaulted on Sunday night by a negro named Ike Knight Mrs. Chapin is a northern woman, who has lived in the neighborhood^ of Aiken for a good many years. She has always been a good friend to the negroes, doing much for them, and entertained a high opinion of the negro boy, Ike Knight, who was empl^ed by her to look after her horses and do work around the house. Some time ago she built a room to her house and had the negro sleep there for her protection. Last Sunday night the negro was away from home, but returned about 1 o'clock in the morning and knocked at the door, requesting Mrs. Chapin to let him in. She opened the door and let him in and told him where he could get something to eat She then told the negro that after this he couldn't stay In the house, as she couldn't be getting up to let him In, And the negro then grabbed her and threw her to the floor, accomplishing his purpose. She went out to a negro tenant house on her place, but could not stay there and soon returned to her house and locked her room door. The negro came to her door, apologizing for what he had done, saying he knew that he would be killed. The negro left next morning and nothing is known of his whereabouts up to this time. News of the crime did not become known in Aiken until Tuesday morning, when one of Mrs. Chapln's neighbors reported the matter to the sheriff, who went out to the house and after investigation returned and is now endeavoring to locate the negro. The sheriff and a party went out Tuesday night to search for the negro in the neighborhood where the crime was committed, but after talking to Mrs. Chapin and the negroes in that com munlty they (eel satisfied that he has left this neighborhood. Everything possibly will be done by the officers of the law to apprehend Knight, but there is not much talk of lynching here, as is generally the case. Mrs. Chapln is a woman of some means. She has a son who is now a lieutenant in the English army. AT THE CHURCHE8. CHURCH. OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD. rev. j. o. babin, rector. Sunday Services.?Sunday school at 10 a. m.
