HAS NEARLY COMPLETELY RE COVERED HIS HEALTH. . Impression) Thai He Would Practi cally Retire From Pnbiic Affairs Is Erroneous, Says J>r. Babeock. The. impression has prevailed over the State for some time that ?enator Tillman, at the end of nis European tour, would have to retire from ac tive political life. It has not been thought that he would give; tip the Senatorship, but. in view of his ad vanceing years?he and Dr. Bab cock celebrated their sixty-first biith day jointly in Paris a few weeks ago?the. opinion has prevailed, even . among those most intimately ac quainted with. the Senator's con dition, that .he would hereafter be compelled to pursue practically a passive course. . .. . : "Nothing could be .further fronil . the truth*" said Dr. J: W. Babeock, just returned to Cplumbja, from four months spent in touring Europe with Senator Tillman and Mrs. Till man. and who.left the Senator and Mrs. Tillman to spe^d.a month in Scotland before returning to Amer ica. /The Senator 'iml'lxecovere'd his. health and strength wonderfully.

Dr. Babeock himself sober most, of bis time abroad gathering infor mation and studying all sides of pellagra, and in this he had valuable help from Senator Tillman himself. In addition to gathering informa tion from the libraries everywhere he went. Dr. Babeock was given i Tucb assistance from leading mem bers of his profession throughout Europe. "After 150 years of wrest ling with this fearful disease,"" said Dr. Babeock. "the medical profes .sioa, tiuly lwithin the last year, ap pears to have arrived at a aolu tion of the problem. A ? medical treatment fias been discovered that at last promises a prompt aud per manent cure. We will start tomor row here in the South Carolina Hospital for the Insane, where we have a number of cases, testing this cure." * Married at Spartanburg. A dispatch from Spartan.burg to the Augusta Chronicle says Deleon G. Spencer, city editor of the Spar tanburg Herald, and Miss Willie Alma Nolon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B.

Mr. P. W. Harley Charged With Killing Mr. IS. A. Jeffcoat. Upon an affidavit made by .Mi. Frank ? M. DeMare, Magistrate C. P. Hrunson issued a warrant Monday morning for the arrest of Mr. P W. Harley for the murder of Mr. H A. Jeffcoat on December 23. 1907. 3oon after the - warrant was issued Harley arrested and lodged in jail. The case was worked up by a de ective sent by Governor Ansel. What testimony the detective has worked up against Harley is not Known. i It will be remembered that Mr. Jeffcoat was shot while riding along the public road from the town of North, to his home on the date above mentioned. The assassion shot him from ambush. Mr. Jeffcoat was taken to Columbia and treated in one of the hospitals, but in a few days he passed away. We have not heard why Harley wanted Mr. Jeff coat out of the way, but it will all come out at the preliminary, when that is held. Mr. Harley Is a resident of the Hull Swamp section, and was a can didate in the late primary for su pervisor, but was badly beaten. So far as we know he bares a good reputation among those who know him best. He denies any knowledge or connection with the killing of Mr. Jeffcoat. and says he will be able to it&tablish his innocence at the proper time. A Coming .Marriage.

FELL FROM TRAIN YOUNG MAX GOING PROM OKAXGEBIRG Received Injuries at Ridgeville Prom Which He .Died in a Charleston Hospital. Accidentally fairing from Train Xo. 14 of the Southern Railway, run ning at the rate of from 20 to 30 miles an hour, about a half of one mile west of Ridgeville, at about 9 o'clock Wednesday evening, a young nan named Boisy Harris, who >oarded the train' at Orangeburg, vas fatally Injured as a result, and md died Thursday morning at 7 o'clock at the Saint Francis Xavier Infirmary, In Charleston, after a twelve hours' struggle between life and ,death. A compound fracture of the skull was the immediate :ause of death, although many oth 3V parts of the body were severely bruised and scratched by the hard fall which the youth had sustained. Immediately on his arrival in the "ity an operation was performed on the young man, but Harris was then ilready beyond humani aid. The News and Courier, says an inquest was hejd over the body of young Harris Thursday afternoon, tnd resulted in a verdict of "death lue .to- accidentally falling .. from Train No/r.1-4, of the Southern Rail 'fVay.- near,. Ridgeville, while.; a pas_7 ienge.r.jpf said train, etc." Although t is reported that there was an a.ct tal eye-.wit-pess of the accident the oenscn in. .question could- not be i'ound, either .by the coroner or- the iflicials.of the railway. The young man, James Reed, who is said to be a cousin of the deceased, had left the train upon its arrival, in Charleston and left for parts un known before the news of Harris' leatb could be sent him. The first .witness' examined by .he coroner and jury was Conduc tor W. H. Keckley. who was in :harge of the train at the time of occurrence. His testimony was as .'ollows: "The accident happened at s:50 )i. m.. about one-fourth mile vest of Ridgeville. just as the train was pulling into that station. When he engineer pulled the station blow for Ridgeville I got up and an nounced the naiqe of the town in the colored ear. going towards the rear of the train. I stopped in the smoking end of the same car. where 'his young man (Harris) was sit ing, and told him that the next station was the one for him to get off at. 1 turned and went into the while car. and shortly afterwards a voting white man. who had been sil ting with Harris, ran up to me and told me that the latter had jumped >ff the train. I reached for and pullet the emergency cord, bringing the train to a stop almost immedi ately, and sent my flagman, T. D. Shirer, back to look for the man. at ?he same time backing the train *up. He was soon found lying between Jhe main line and the siding. He was carried to the express car and I afterwards called Dr. W. it. Way. of Ridgeville, in atten.lance. who accompanied the wounded boy to Charleston." Several questions were asked by the jury and answered by Mr. Keckley. in reply to the ques tion as to what Harris was doing in the colored smoking section of the car at that time the conductor answered that the colored passenger, traffic is very light through that par)t of the country at this time of the year and that white and colored men often used the same apartment to smoke in. Mr. T. I). Shirer. who was flagman on -Train No. 14 best Wednesday night, was the next witness and gave the following testimony before the coroner and jury: "When we neared Ridgeville 1 went through the train, as is usually the custom, and cried out the name of the town. The train was then about three-quarters of a mile from Ridgeville. I saw Boisy Harris sit ting in the colored smoking apart ment with his hands crossed. When I had reached the last car of the train I. felt .the emergency brakes go down and immediately ran forward to ask the -conductor what the trouble was. The latter then told me thut Harris had jumped off and requested me to go back- and look for the "young man. . A shprt dis tance in the rear of the train I first found his hat,- and after some searching found the boy himself ly ing on his face on the right side if the track. 1 spoke to him. but did not receive any answer, al 1 hough he was breathing very heav ily. When the train had backed up the required distance I help place| the wounded boy in the baggage car." Several questions were also asked of Mr. Shirer by the jury. He stated that he had asked James Reeves, a cousin of the deceased bov. md who. together with another gen tleman name,I p. It. Sweat. who were the duly people occupying the smoking apartment with Harris at that time, for some particulars of the case, and that Reeves had I ? bought t hat I larris had only left his -( at to procure a drink of wa ter in the rear of the rar Seeing hi pi open the door rather hurriedly he followed the yount; man and reached the end of the car just in rime to sec- Harris step off. Whether the young man bad wished to leave I the train before iis arrival at Ridge ville and had miscalculated the speed of the train, or whether he had de liberately invited death Reeves was unable to say. Conductor Keckley stated Fri day that young Harris had board ed his train at Orangeburg and he had been requested to put him off at Ridgeville when lie handed in his ticket. He was dressed hi a ?vorkingmnn-'s clothes and aoparently was about 17 years of age. Harris' seemed to have full control of his .'acuities at the time and the con lactor was almost positive that the jxu?'H.\j\*/1.\j\ i > i ujjnj/a j 9 ?.^. ONLY TWd-FIrTHB CROP.

OF GRANGE'S BUSINESS EM). -" U'lH*n the Grange Stores Quit a Sup ply .Agent Continued This Idea or the Catalogue Plan. The story of the rise of the so called' mail order business is an interesting chapter in our commercial history. The spread of the craze?for it must be classed as such?resembles that of an ordinary epidemic against which no precaution is taken. The disease has until very recently *beeii allowed to spread without even quarantine regu lations. Bur from present indications its decline will be as rapid as was its rise. I The idea of selecting goods from a catalogue containing pictures of the ar ticles and then ordering the articles thus selected by mail was the direct result of the failure of the business > end of the grange movement, the grange store, writes Richard A. Haste in Maxwell's Talisman. Net so iM;niy years ago, but before the tel.oiiono. the rural routes and the Ihternrhaii 'electric lines had brought the town and the farm into the present close relations, there existed in ' the rural "coii'lh'tunities an aV'llVe prejudice against townsfolk generally --md the re tali liicrVhant in particular.

Millions of dollars would be thus saved to the "workers" by this short cut across the commercial tield. The gr-mge store would buy the produce of the farm and in turn sell to the farmer theVssentials of life with out profit either going or coming. Iu carrying out this simple scheine the grange, not being acquainted with the mercantile business, employed agents to buy goods for the grange store, and the store was then run by a ! ??hired mail"?a man of more or less ex perience in handling retail trade, but who had no Interest in the business. He was simply a hired man. One of these supply agents was a firm the name of which now stands ? second ir not first among the catalogue houses of today. This firm, if 1 am not mistaken, was then located in Mil waukee, and Its business was to-snpply the grange stores of the middle west with goods?to gi? into the market and buy as cheaply as ??ossibt*- for its/prin cipals. For a few years the grange store: Nourished. There was much1interest manifested In this new trade toy. ' It j was boldly asserted-that the day ?>!' the middleman, the retail merchant, had passed. But. like nil complicated ma chines run by hired men. It got out j of order and then stopped. The band ed farmers found that instead of sav ing money by means of the grange store they had actually lost money.
