? Washington. July 20: Women
stenographers apparently are 110 louver
wanted in the departmental service.
This announcement was today
made at the civil commission in order
to put a stop to a steadily increasing
flood of letters from women
throughout the country who seek information
about an examination for
stenographers to be held on next
Tuesday in all the states. This examination
is for the purpose of re-1
cruiting only men stenographers the

? Washington. D. O., July 19: A preliminary
summary of the twenty-second
annual statistical report of the interstate
commerce commission has
been issued covering the fiscal year
which ended June 30, 1909. It shows
that there was a total single-track railway
mileage in the United States of
236.868 miles, an increase over the previous
year of 3,215 miles. More than
100 miles, an increase is indicated in
the states of Arkansas, Mississippi,
Texas, Virginia and other states. The
total number of employes on the pay
rolls of the railroads of the country
was 1,502,823, an increase of 66,548
over the previous year. The par value
of railway property was $17,487,869,935.
of this amount $13,711,867,773 was out

? Death in an almost unheard of
form waited for Lawrence S. Raker,
an 11-year-old Jacksonville lad. when
he dived from a boat while swimming
In Lake Worth, near West Palm
Beach. Fla., last Wednesday. A
stingaree, a huge flat-bodied and
gruesome species of warm water fish,
was lurking under the boat. One of
the barbed spines which this fish carries
on its whip-like tail pierced the
boy's neck, cutting into his jugular
vein. He rose to the surface crying
for help, and bled to death within
four minutes after his swimming companions
had lifted him from the
water. Whether the fish attacked the
boy is not known, but it is believed
by his companions that the stingaree
was swimming past and that the
force of the boy's dive impaled him
on the fearful barb. The stingaree's
weapon is poisonous.
? Spencer, N\ C.. July 20: Columbus
Shepherd, a prominent young man of
Washington, D. C., was set upon by two
negro highwaymen a mile east of this
town near midnight, beaten into insensibility
and robbed of two hundred
dollars in cash. Shepherd was found
an hour later in an unconscious condition
by passing farmers and taken
to the home of Lum Kesler, the objective
point of his trip from Spencer. He
regained consciousness long enough to
state that his assailants were negroes
and that they had used rocks as weapons.
His most serious injuries are
in the stomach and attending physicians
state that there is a possibility
of recovery. Shepherd has been visiting
relatives in Rowan county for two
weeks, and left Spencer late tonight
walking to visit the Kesler home. The
scene of the crime is in a thick clump
of woods, close to a negro settlement.
? Elliott. Miss.. July 21: Five negroes
were killed and two others were
mortally wounded today when the
seven, taking issue with Deputy Sheriff
Sid Oauley. who was endeavoring
to take them into custody on a minor
charge. advanced on the officer with
farming Implements as weapons and
with the avowed intention of "cutting
him down." Bearing a warrant
charging the seven with assault, Pauley
and two citizens, deputized to assist
him, went to the home of Henry Beck,
a colored farmer, near Klliott, this afternoon.
As the posse approached the
negroes ceased their work in the field
and grabbing pitchforks and other
farming tools made for the deputy.
Pauley, however, opened fire with
two revolvers before the belligerents
came within striking distance, and before
the others of the posse had regained
their wits, five of the attacking
party were dead and the remainder
wounded. The deputy surrendered but
was released to appear for formal
hearing tomorrow. Several days ago
an attempt was made to effect the capture
of the negroes, but the arresting
officer withdrew when they employed
similar tactics to those of today.
? Fortress Monroe. Va.. July 21:
Eleven men of the coast artillery are
dead tonight as the result of the blowing
out of a breech block in one of the
big guns while the fort was engaged
!n target practice. A half dozen others,
one of whom may die. are in the
post hospital. The exact cause of the
explosion is not yet definitely known,
although a board of inquiry was appointed
immediately after the disaster
by order from the war department in
Washington. The list of dead and
wounded follows: Killed?Sergeant

sin inquisition. While no decision
has been reached. Col. Townsley
advanced his theory of the disaster. "It
is evident." he said, "that the explosion
occurred during the insertion of
the breech block of the gun and before
it hail been rotsited and locked in
place. The safety devices on the gun
are introduced to msike a premature
discharge impossible. Just how they
failed to operate, probably will never
be known to a certainty. Kvery member
of the detachment who could explain
it was killed."
? Washington. July 2ft: Pear exists

consul at Capo fJracias. Nicaragua,
may he assaulted or possibly even assassinated,
wherefore it has been
ed to send the cruiser Taeoina to the
port for investigation audit' renditions

protect American lives. This was tiereport
made at the state depart meat
today Iiy Thos. I*. MotTatt. I'nited
States consul at Minefields. Two officers
and forty-live men were ordered
to Cape firacias on the Tacouia, he
says, tliis action having been decided
after a conference hetween himself and
Commander Haines of the Indunpie.
The Taeoina propahly has reached
the seat of trouble by this time, in
the opinion of officials here, although
they have not yet received word to
that effect. It was because of the continual
abuse of the governor and other
ollicials of the Madriz government at
Cape fJracias. he declares that tin- f?-ar
arose for the safety of the American
consul there. An article published in
l a Xacion. an official Madriz organ,
published at Managua. indicates the
feeling in Nicaragua against Americans.
In part it reads as follows: "We
Nicaraguans have some limited imans
to which we may resort as a final recourse
if it comes to the point that the
Yankee tries to execute his threat: l.et
us lay hands on all the North Ameri
cans residing in Nicaragua and let us <
say to Mr. Taft, 'for each shut you hurl t
against us, a head of one of your countrymen
shall roll on the ground.' An- 1
other of the means to which we may 8
resort in revenge for so great an injuiy t
and for this I do not believe we are
less able than the Young Turks, let
us organize in the form of a powerful
coalition of active propaganda, to the <
end that in all the Latin-American >
countries no goods shall be purchased r
from the I'nited States, making our
people understand this is the most '
efficacious method of combating the (
common enemy of our race, so proud j
on account of its power, so insolent on
account of its pride, and so detestable
on account of its insolence." s

editor of the Herald writes us that hehas

It was a generous deal that the ?1 is- s
pensary crowd gave the Prohibition- <
ists, was it not? They provide for "local 1
option" in prohibition communities I
all right, and it was local option with i
a vengeance. The liquor people could I
hold election after election, with a view <
to establishing dispensaries, and after 1
a dispensary was once established, I
there was no power in the state that 1
could lawfully remove it. Yes, that I
was local option, dripping with cor- ?
rupt liquor. Hundreds of communities I
had whisky forced upon them, and the i
dispensary people merely jeered at all s
appeals for relief. They stood firm I
against any and every change that 1
promised to reduce the volume of their i
graft. And now the whisky people !
want local option in the hope of seeing i
a return to those old conditions. What 1
we want is state-wide prohibition, tin- 1
der a governor who means business <
and will do what can be done to en- i
force the law. '
Tin: Columbia State of this morning t
chides The Enquirer for not printing I
its editorial of last Tuesday morning, '
to which we referred in i'he Enquirer I
. * 'P,,..?.lo,. ? ft oo .1 "Uf, Oliloi.l.. 1
* i i uv^ua* auvi imm'ii k mm - uipiu'
against FVatherstoiie." ami challenges i
us to refute the arguments therein, i
We have not seen proper to dispute the I
literal aeeuraey of the State's arfitments
in the editorial in ipiestion.
The only tiling about it that struek us t
with a great deal of force, is the neees- '
sity for it on any other ground than to ,
embarrass Mr. Keatherstmie !iy eon- i
fusing the real issue. We were una- I
lde to disettss the matter iii our last
issue, because of the short time be- ,
tween the hour when tin- State readies j
Yorkville and the hour at which The '
Kmpiirer ?oes t<? press, since then. J
however, we have expressed our views |
more fully in an article that was in |
type before the State of this morning '
reached us and which appears else- ,
where on this pa ye. ?
Tin-: editor of the esteemed York- j
vilb* Kmpiirer has settled to his own ,
satisfaction that we are wrong and he ,
is right in regard to the province of
judges and juries. We kimw full well ,
how futile it is to attempt to convince |
him that lie is wrong in any position .
th.it lie takes, but we did think he ,
would argue fairly. We never said that |
"supreme power should be put into the
hands of a miscellaneous jury." What ,
we did say was that juries were in a ,
measure the representatives of popu- ,
tar justice. In a measure only, it will ,
lie observed Mini thai Ihis IS Ill<* I'ilSC I
m> r<-as<>iial>!<* individual or newspaper ,
*ilIh'1* fur thai matter, need il?*ny, ami
it is a ininhty k<mmI thinn fur the esteemed
Kiuptirer ami everybody else
thai SUfll is the ease. t'llefokee News.
We never had any idea of <|iiarreliiiK j
with the News, ami we shall nut du su
imw. We thoiinht we were fair and
frankly we admit that tin News has
m>t eoiivineed us that w?* were m>t.
Some one lias said that twelve holiest
jurors make hotter jmines of laet than
twelve judges would make. We think
we fully eoinpfelieiid that proposition,
ami we anree with it. The N?ws shows
evideiiee in the forenoitin that it is not
its lar from the trm* prineiph-s inv?dved
as it tirst appeared to he. If, however,
instead of proiioum inn judnnmtit on us
itself, it had printed what we said in I
>rder that its readers might have aet d
as a miscellaneous jury, we are
luite sure that we would not ask for
in exception on the verdict as to our
airness.
Wk are reproducing the statements
>f Messrs. A. K. and \\\ K. Gonzales
villi reference to the charges of John
P. Duncan. We have never printed
LlllUCUII S cnargcs iiKiioim Uir m> ooi O.
Jonzales fi>r the simple reason that we
lave never believed that they had any
foundation in fact. That is, we feel
sure that the Messrs. Conzales had
mthing to do with the Seminole deal,
md we do not believe that they hail
my improper eonneetion with the aleged
proposed asylum deal. As a
natter of fact, Duncan very materially
weakened his charges against the penile
who contributed so much to tho
juccess <?f the Seminole swindle by in liiding
in his accusations people who
lad nothing to do with the matter.
tVe are glad, however, that the Messrs.
"ionzales have seen proper to notice
hese charges and make denial of their
:ruth, for there are a great many penile
who are sure that Duncan's grouch
is not altogether without foundation,
md in the absence of such a statonent
they would likely continue to
onfuse the innocent with the guilty.
Tiik Columbia State is printing columns
to show that Mr. Featherstone
is inconsistent in that he mice advocated
local option and now stands for
date-wide prohibition. We are not
eery much impressed by the State's
lrguments, and we don't think the
State is either. We rather see in the
situation that the State realizes full
veil that Mr. Featherstone is the real
inti-liquor candidate, and the man
,vho must be licked out of the second
primary to Rive the other fellows a
show. Our contemporary's position is
1 little bit embarrassing to itself
hough. It knows full well that Mr.
I'Vatherstone is a very able man of
ligh purposes, and that he is in no
sense a crank. It would much prefer
:o see him in the governor's chair than
Mr. Blease, for instance, and for that
eason it is just a little hampered.
Hut there is nothing inconsistent in
Mr. Featherstone's political record,
ile has understood all along that states
md counties partake in large measure
f the same characteristics as individuals.
When the state was sodden with
lispensary liquor, he understood how
ihsurd it would be to appeal to it as a
ivhole to come back to decency. He
inew that there was no way to get atentioti
except by appealing to the inlividual
counties to stand for the right
>f having a say whether they should
lave prohibition or continue in the
yay they were going. The idea won
ifter a long tight. But just as an inlividual
who has once been addicted
o the use of liquor, reforms and goes
ack to drink, so counties and states
ire liable to the same danger. The
Mate is now prohibition with the exception
of six large counties. There is
-.:ii ? ,.f llmmr lu-niile
XIII a Idl IIIIIIWI llt. -r. , f
ii each of the dry counties. Mr. Feath>rstone
understands very well that If
hings are allowed to continue as they
ire, with the majority sentiment lulled
o sleep may he in the fanceid security
f hotter conditions, there is danger
hat the element which looks to the
lispensary for political prestige, may
igain ride to power on the still gnawng
appetites that once guaranteed
heir supremacy. The only safe
hing, he understands full well, is
o outlaw liquor entirely in every
ounty and to make the return of the
egal sale of liquor impossible, except
m a majority vote of the people of the
state. The Columhia State is for local
tption on exactly the same principle
hat Mr, Featherstone was for local
?ption, except that it wants a different
hing. Mr. Featherstone has always
teen for prohibition, and is for prohilition
now. The Columbia State has
tlways been for liquor and is for liItior
now. The Columbia State wants
ocal option in Richland, because it
<nows that local option will ensure the
sale of liquor in Columbia. If it
bought local option would drive liquor
>ut of Columbia, it would be opposed to
ocal option. Mr. Featherstone stood
Tor local option as a means of driving
liquor out of a great many counties
that could not get rid of it in any oth r
way, and if lie had not believed that
local option would have had just the
result it did have, lie would not have
stood for it. He feels now that all but
Ihirty-six counties are right and lie
wants to make them all right. He is
really not worried so much about the
six, as he is about the thirty-six. lie
is afraid that the law which has served
lo run whisky into such a close quarter,
may eventually work backward
mil put whisky in the ascendancy
igain. Hut the Columbia State understands
all this as well as Mr. Featherstone
does, and while we are willing
1<> admit that I ?tli aiv tigniing mr a
l?rii triple, wo art- nut willing to admit
that local option is involved in that
irinciple in the slightest, except as
neans to an end. The Coluniliia State
is lighting to uphold the 1 i?|ti<>i* InisItess,
and Mr. I-Vatherstone is lighting
to put it down.

move slowly, he sjaid that three
ars ago the dispensary should
voted out county by county until
ere was such an overwhelming marity
against the sale of liquor that
could be expelled from the entire

is in favor of a state-wide prohibin
law with the necessary machinery
enforce it, even if tile people of
e state had to go down into their
ckets to pay for it. If he were
vernor and had such a law at his

it."

Anderson Daily .Mail, July 20: Hon.
shua W. Ashley, one of the repreutatives
of Anderson county in the
fislature, was called out of his bed c
sterday morning' about 2 o'clock by '
e ringing: of the 'phone in his home '
ar llonea Path. Kor some time he J
ed, shivering and muttering, to get J
mebody to answer, when he had J
ide known his presence by speaking '
lo the instrument. But nobody an- s
ered. And Mr. Ashley decided that {1
e wires had in some way gotten v
>sse<l, and the ringing of the bell was '
e to the wind, lie went hack to bed. '
'tor getting inside his room, Mr. Ash- 1
; began to think. It occurred to him I
at while he was standing in the hall, f
had seen a form pass the door. It
is the form of it woman. And there '
d been it noise on the piazza. He '
is certain. Then he went to investi- 1
?< Thwrx u-;i? in, noise to attract 1
< attention as he opened the door, '
d it was dark, too, in the shade of ('
i* |da//.a. He almost stiimhled over '
mething, and stooped down to in- I
stigate. His hand came in eontaet t
th something soft and downy. Ho '
ivered a hit from the cold and felt ?'i
rther. It was a round, soft hnndlo, <
d it moved. Then all at once there i
is a shrill cry?Mr. Ashley gasped a
th momentary fright, then seized the r
he in his arms and rushed into his i
use. When a light was set going it v
is found that Mr. Ashley had been
seated with a line, black-headed
by hoy. It was apparently about
ir or five weeks old ?hale and ^
arty; but almost frozen to death. '
ie little fellow has been taken in by 1
\ Ashley, and if it is not claimed, t
will care and provide for it. Mr. s
ihley says he doesn't know why the
lone rang, and he doesn't know who I

rEATHERSTONE IN CHARLESTON, i
I
Vohibition Candidate Arraigns Old ,
City For Lawlessness. t
Some having intimated that Hon. C. I
'. h'eatherstone would havo very little '
o say in Charleston against the sale of <
igtior. we publish the report of his
ipeech in Charleston Saturday as giv- .
ti by the News and Courier. Instead
?f growing weaker on this partietihir I
ssue. Mr. I'Vatherstone had the emir- I
ige to speak out more plainly than at <
he meetings in "dry" counties. The <
'allowing is the News and Courier's re- <
tort: I
"The Hon. C. C. Featherstor.e was '
received with some applause, after an i
petting anecdote which took well with I
the audience, he referred to his busi- 1
less and professional reeonl. claiming i
that lie had eipial ability with any man i
in the race. lie said he intended giv- )
ing the "same prohibition speil in |
I Charleston, where I understand it is (
not altogether popular, that I have
given in all the other counties."
"Mr. Feathorstone then proceeded to
give his argument in favor of statewide
prohibition, saying that "I do not i
Intend to trim my soles ,n suit the
varying minds." He said Charleston
ounty was practically nullifying the
laws of contiguous territory. At tills
point the speaker grew somewhat
strong in his denunciation of the enforcement
of the liquor law in this
city; he did not mince words but said
that "the disgraceful winking at lawlessness
in Charleston prevented this
city wielding its due influence in the
state." He said that the SO per cent
>f the people in the state are not going
to allow the other 20 per cent among
which is Charleston, to dictate the policy
of the government.
"It was noticeable that Mr. Featherstone
waxed warmer and stronger In
his denunciation of the illicit sale of
liquor and lack of law enforcement, especially
in Charleston, than he has
been on any stump thus far. He appealed
to the better element of the city
to rise up and enforce the law, and not
lo "breed lawlessness" and raise a generation
of men who have no respect
for the law. This statement was received
with applause.
"Mr. Featherstone told the people
they needn't vote for him if they disapproved
of his views on the liquor
question, but he said they should vote
lor a man on any particular issue; they
should pick a good, clean, honest man;
however, the progress of the state did
depend on the man who occupied the
mtiornnr'a chair. He said there was "a
varied assortment to pick from.
"The speaker predicted that South
Carolina would soon float the white
I lap.
"Touching on the question of taxes,
education, pood roads and biennial
sessions of the lepislature, four-year
terms of office, Mr. Featherstone closed
with an appeal for a Christian citizenship
and the enforcement of law. He
was cheered warmly."

Responsibility of Lawyers.?The
Yashington Post lays part of the i
esponsiliility for mobs and lynching !
ipon lawyers. in concluding an ur- i
icle on tlie prevalence of the mob <
pirit. it says: 1
Your criminal lawyer is not blame- |
ess. The most eminent and illustrious
neinbers of tiie legal profession hold
hat when the lawyer has seen that
lis client has had a fair trial where
lis life or liberty or property Is at
itake, he has done all he can legitlnaiely
engage to do. Unfortunately
he average lawyer, whether he ap- I
ear in chancery, or at common pleas
r oyer and terminer, is too swift to
ommit a crime to gain his ease.
Until you reform your lawyer,
fudge I.ynch will hold court.
And how shall the lawyer be re"ormed?
Hy whom shall he be held

nmmitting crime in defense of his
riminal client? Much may be accomplished
In the way of reform by
he bar associations of the states,
rhese associations are daily conlolling
acts of their members that
uring the legal profession Into disrepute.
Reputable lawyers know of
lisreputable practices but there Is
none to bring the offender to the bar.
It is everybody's business to keep the
bar clear?and little is done in that
lirection.?-Columbia State.

Preachers In Politics.?Our observation
has been that nine times out
of ten ministers think right on public
questions and have proper estimates
of public men. You can always
count upon demagogues and
politicians of low type questioning
the right of the preacher to "express
himself on politics."?Edgefield
