Ed and Laura Davis, servants in the household of Rev. Dr. Carter Helm Jones, recently carried to Oklahoma from Lynchburg, V?.. mysteriously met their death some time between Saturday night and Tuesday morning. Their bodies were discovered before noon by Dr. Jones, who reported the matter to the police. How they came to their death is a mystery. There was no evidence of violence on either of the bodies. The wo man was found lying in a bed in an upper room of a new parsonage soon to be occupied by the Rev. Dr. Jone:!, while her husband was found dead on the floor. On a chair the officers found a half bottle of whiskey, alsj a partly emptied bottle of blackberrj wine. Dr. Jones scouts the idea that they committed suicide, and says they were not addicted to the use of drugs. Dr. Jones ridicules the idea tha^ the blackberry wine, which is thought to have contained poison, could have been intended for him He said the wine * was home-made, and the kind ordinarily used in tb? preparation of jams. It was brought I along with the other household good* from the Jones family rrom Lynch burg, Va. \ ? THRILLING RESCUES. Police and Firemen Perform Great Service at Fire. Policemen and firemen made a number of thrilling rescues In a tenament house fire in Brooklyn Thursday night. From an adjoining nouse Policeman Zerwick reached the roof of the burning house and attempted to rescue a half-doze-i frightened people through a scuttle. There was no ladder, however, and the one he obtained from the next house was three feet short. Lowering the short ladder through the scuttle the policeman hung down by his arms and steadied the ladder with his feet, allowing a woman and several children to climb up, step ping on his face as they got out onto the roof. Several firemen swung themselves across from an adjoining building and saved women and children n ; the fire escapes of the burning build ing. ? ORANGE BUI TELLS OF WRECK Schooner Abandoned on Voyage From Georgetown North. BRAVE LIFE SAVERS Bodies Island and Nags Head Crews Worked for Hours?Captain and Wife Thrice .Wrecked?Rodgers Carried to Charleston as Prize of Steamer Pert Several Years ago. ' Capt. S. E. Lawry, of the abandon ed schooner Flora Rodgers, a well known trading vessel at Charleston, tells an interesting and thrilling sto-, ry of the wreck of his boat a few days ago at Bodies Island and the rescue of himself, his wife and the crew. The following account of the wreck and rescue we take from the Charleston Post: It is not the first time that the Flora Rodgers has been wrecked, having had the same experience sev eral years ago off the Carolina coast, when she was towed into Charleston, as a prize of the Italian steamer Fert, being later libeled and sold by order of the United States court. In an interview In The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, Captain Lawry re lated a few days ago in a dramatic manner how Mrs. Lawry, his wife, his crew of six men and himself stood waist-deep In water with waves from thirty to forty feet in height leaping and swirling over the wreck, nine hours before a line was shot over the vessel and how two ancbo* chains of links of an inch and a half in thickness w?re snapped like pipe stems which sent the vessel to her doom. ? It was also brought out how Mrs. Lawry had been in two other wrecks with her husband and how on one occasion she was willing for every thing aboard to be lost?that id, property?but to only save her ca nary bird. When the gale was sweeping the coast and carrying everything before it the Rodgers, lumber laden, was tugging at her anchors. She was from Georgetown, S. C, for New Ha ven, and Captain Lawry seeing that he could not sail in. such a storm, had the vessel anchored off the island. Two anchors were thrown out and these were held by many fathoms of chain, the links of which were an inch and a half of solid iron. The vessel was double-reefed. Every thing was done to prevent the craft from stranding, but to no avail, and at 10 o'clock at night the anchors tore loose and two and one-naif hours later the stern of the Rodgers was battered away. Masts and rigging and spars crashed to the deck and lay in an inextricable mass. The wind was increasing from the south-east, and presently the vessel bega nto be working broadside on the beach. Inky darkness prevailed. The waves by this time were running to a height of from thirty to forty feet, and at one time it appeared that a': must be lost. The life savers had discovered the wreck and they so notified those aboard the vessel by the Costen signals. When daylight came the surfmen from the Bodies Island station at tempted to launch a surf beat, but they were beaten by the wind anil waves. Line after line was frrel and fell short, and those on the wreck despaired of being rescued. Word was sent to the Nags Head station and soon the crew was on the scene. If ever a set of men worked to save eight human lives it was the crews from the Bodies Island an 1 Nags Head stations, and at 7 o'clock in the morning a line was shot over the side of the vessel and made fast to the stump of the mainmast. Then the breeches buoy was run out. The captain and crew insisted that Mrs. Lawry step into the buoy first. The brave woman was reluctant u do this but was finally persuaded an.l she was hauled through the moun tainous waves to the beach. It was a dramatic scene. Then the crew, one by one, were hauled ashore and Captain Lawry was the last to prep into the buoy. All hands were drenched to the skin when they hit the beach and they lost all of tbejr belongings, which went down in the wreck. The captain, his wife and crew had not long been off the vessel when she be gan to break up and the lumber car go to come ashore. One of the masts washed ashore and there is hope of securing the other two. Captain Lawry said tnat the spars and rigging might also be saved ana practically nil of the lumber cargo that has washed ashore will be save!. The cargo was insured, but the ves sel was not. Captain Lawry had a $1,000 interest in the Rodgers. * Steer Runs Amuck. A mad steer run amuck Thursday in the business section of Atlanta, and before the steer was caught, ai the risk of life and limb, two per sons were injured and others fl"d to places of safety; some being forc ed lo climb telepnone poles. In one of his furious rushes at pedestrai.is the right horn of the steer was torn from his head. ? RG, 8. C. TUESDAY. NO SOME MORE LETTERS PROM THE STANDARD OIL FILES READ. The Manufacturers' Record and The Southern Farm Magazine Got Slic es of Standard Oil Money. W. R. Hearst read some more or the Archbold letters at a meeting in New York Saturday night. He said:' "I have shown heretofore the peculiar interest in newspapers and magazines and lecturers and other institutions and individuals that in fluence public sentiment." Hearst then read the following letter: 26 Broadway, Oct. 10, 1902. Mr. H. H. Edmonds, Baltimore, Md. Dear Sir: Responding to your fa vor of the 9th, it gives me pleasure to enclose you herewith certificate of deposit to your favor for $3,000, cov ering a year's subscription to The Manufacturers' Record. Truly yours, John D. Archbold. "I have looked up the subscription price of The Manufacturers' Record." Hearst continued, " and I And that it is $4 a year. Consequently Mr Archbold was either subsidizing The Manufacturers' Record or he was subscribing for 750 years. ".The Standard Oil Company Is a liberal subscriber of this sort, and the object of the subscriptions Is to induct these, publications to Influ ence sentiment, in favor of the Stand ard Oil, as the following letter will show: "26 Broadway, Dec. 18, 1907 I "Mr. Ttomas P. Grasty, Care of Buck& Pratt, Room 1203, No. 27 William Street, City. " 'Dear Mr. Grasty: I have your favor o! yesterday and beg to re turn herewith the telegram from Mr. Edmonds to you. We are willing t> continue the subscription of $5,00') to The Southern Farm Magazine for another year, payments to be made the same as they have been this yea-. We do not doubt but that the influ ence of your publication throughout the Soutk is of the most helpful char acter. " 'Witi good wishes, I am ' tI 'Very tr.uly yours, " 'John D. Archbold.' "The Standard Oil Company not only endiavors to influence pubnc sentimenl through magazinos and newspapers, but it subsidizes teach ers and ecturers to 'educate' the public ii the Interest of Standard Oil." Hearst then read letters to Prof. George Junton of New York city, indicating that he had been paid $10,000, and to Hon. W. A. Magee of the Ettsburg Times, In which an enclosun of a check for ?1,250 Is mention d. Hears also read a letter from Joseph 5. Sibley, addressed to Mr. Archbolc, in which he says: "An efficient literary bureau is needed ?t for a day or a crisis, but a permaient and healthy control of The Asociated Prtess and kindred avenues. It wilt cost money, but can be lade self-supporting. The next foir years is, more than any prcviousepoch, to determine the fu ture of ?e country. No man values public o^nlon or fears it, so much as Rooseelt. No man seeks popu larity somuch as he. Mild reproof or criticini of his policy would near ly paralze him. Today he hears only the ?iorus of a rabble, and he thinks it;ublic sentiment. I do not know whcher the industrial corpora tions andthe transportation compa nies have?nough at stake to justify a union <" forces for concerted ac tion. It eems to me necessary." "The iiportant part of this let ter," say: Mr. Hearst, "is not the part thatreveals Senator Bailey, a Democrat, friend gf the Standard Oil, or xr. Stbley, a Republican friend of le Standard Oil Company. It is the yrt which reveals the plan to controlthe great news organiza tions of le country, 'the Associat ed Press ind kindred avenues,' to influence niblic opinion. In that way Mr. Sdey thinks the public can be deceive, and public men like Mr. Roosevelt,.vho value public opinion, can be cricised and controlled. "It is uloubtedly possible for the 'industrial corporations and the transportaon companies.' with the Standard il at the head, to bring about 'a lion of forces for con certed acth.' That union of forces would enae them to control many of the gres avenues of publicity.

GOES FOR 1EDDY Haskell Says Roosevelt Gave Lands of the Indians to THE STANDARD OIL In an Open Letter to the President the Governor Says the Wrong to the Indians Must be Righted or tbe Matter Will bo Investigated by Congress. Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 21, 1908. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President, Washington, D. C. Sir: In September I called your attention to complaint at the renewal of the oil lease on 680,000 acres of Osage Indian tribal lands. You ig nored the matter. On October 5th, having further pressure for investigation of the unjust character of the lease, and having ascertained that the Osage, being our citizens, it was my duty beyond question to demand of you, as the chief guardian of these par ticular lands, an explanation as to what good reason, if any, there might have been for the renewal of the lease at conditions fixed by you. I, on that date, made the formal de mand of you, in writing. October 9th the acting secretary of the interior, writing, as he stated, on account of your having referred my letter to him, hiB explanation was that you had nothing to do with the lease except fixing the compensation that the land owners were to receive, because that was the very thing we object to, namely, the grossly inade quate compensation to the land own ers, which was the real complaint. On October 12th I answered you, referring to the interior departments explanation, and stating to you: (a) That you had refused to give the Osage an-opportunity to produce evidence before you to show that amount of compeusation justly due to them as the land owners. (b) That the oil field, of which their lands were a part, was an es tablished, rich, producing field, where royalties and bonuses to land owners were established by long prac tices and precedents. (c) That among the lowest aver ages the Osages were at that time entitled to at least $7,000,000 cash bonus and one-sixth royalty. (d) Tnat the Indian Territory Il luminating Oil Company, a sub of the Standard Oil Company, as the assignee of the original Foster lease, was by subletting this same Osag3 property to operating companies, receiving much more as a bonus than the Osage would receive as the owners of the land on a one-eighth basis. (e) That against the original Judg ment of the department of the in terior and upon the request of Messrs. Guffey, Barnsdale, Senator DePew and other well known agents of the Standard Oil Company, you had granted an extension of the lease on this 680,000 acres of land at the grossly inadequate compensation of one-eighth royalty and not one cent of cash bonus. Pursuing my duties to the Osage Indians, as citizens of our State, 1 requested that you cancel that lease to the end that the Osage Indians might have an opportunity to receive competitive bids or otherwise an income from the oil values of their lands, which they could readily ob tain equal to the average obtained by the adjoining land owners to th<: north, east and the south of their lands. I am today in receipt of the fol lowing letter from your secretary of Btate: "C. N. Haskell, Governor of Okla homa. "Sir: Your letter of October 12. 1908, to the president of the United States, and signed by you as gov ernor of Oklahoma, has been referred to the department of state, which is charged with the conduct of.corres pondence between the president and the chief executive of the several States. "The character of this cornmunicu ;ion, which I understand to be main ly false and which I perceive to be wholly insolent, is such that 1 um forced to regard is as a device to a' :ract from the president for the pur pose of a personal controversy a de cree of notice which yourself woul 1 10t receive personally.

The Columbia Record say.-. Thomi3 Blake Patterson, a brakeman in the services of the Southern Railway, was killed in a freight wreck at o'clock Saturday morning on th'j Atlantic Coast Line tracks at the State Fair g.-ounds. Mr. Patterson was a native of Statesville, N. C, and was only 22 years of age. The deceased met his death in i most tragic manner, being pinned to the earth by a derailed freigau car and an hour elapsed before the body was extricated. A Southern engine with two box cars was moving west ward for the purpose of loading the cars with freight from the Fair grounds. The train was about to cross a' frog in the track, when, it is said, a stock car door lay completely across the track and the cars run ning Into this caused a derailment. The first freight car turned over and turned to the right and the seconi car crashed nto the first and fell towards the left. Mr. Patterson was standing on the ground facing the second car which fell upon him and pinned him to the earth. The car fell across his chest. The derrick was sent for and after an hour's work, the body was pro cured. Coroner Walker was sum moned about 5 o'clock and held ai^ inquest in Van Metre's morgue Satur day morning. Mr. Patterson was unmarried. He boarded in Columbia at the resi dence of Mrs. J. T. Jones at 182u Blanding street. He has no relatives in Columbia and the body was sent to his home for burial. Five men composed the crew o? the wrecked train. The conductor .was Mr. M. L. Agnew, of Greenville and the engineer was Mr. F. R. Turner, of Greenwood. The following jury served as thi? inquest: J. E. Flanningan, foreman; J. M. Pennington, R. J. Brown, W. B. [Black, W. E. Reddick, J. N. Smith deal, Jas. L. Roane, A. J. Royal, J. M. Keith, Henry Chapman, W. R. Collins, W. o. McGava. The verdict was as follows: "We find that 'ihomas Patterson came to his death on Engine 1638, switch engine of Southern railroad, in per formance of his duty, October 31st, 1908. r Mr. Patterson's family has been notified of his sad demise. Mr. Patterson was a promising young man and was highly thought of by his employers. r ably not receive personally." Mr. President, it is immaterial to me what construction your secretary of State desires to put upon my de mand, in his attempt to shield you. I do not seek prominence, but I do seek jusitce for the Osages, and shall not permit thl? Stander Oil Company to benefit to the extent of $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 honestly due to the Osages simply because it is a friend' of yors. Indeed, Mr. President, this expres sion from the secretary of State is ludicrous in view of the fact tha*t you some two weeks ago descended from tho dignity that your predeces sors had established for the high of fice of president and sought to carry me down with you to the level of petty precinct politics. This effort to fluctuate from the highest respect in the land to the lowest practices 1ms never been equaled in the extent of its fluctua tions of this watered stock on the market. It is possible that your astute secretary of State might have advised you at that time to your own advantage, as his 26 years' ex perience at his law office in Wa ! street, where he has guided ?.he greatest corporations of the land with his advice, would doubtless then have saved you from the humil iation that your reckless and unre liable political associates, Mr. Hearst, led you into. But aside with political discus sions. The question of whether the. Osage Indians shall have the ordi- 1 narj value of the oil upon their land, as adjacent land owners, act- 1 ing upon their own behalf, are ably to obatin, or whether we shall permit you to make the Standard Oil Com pany a present of the greater pa*t of these oil values is a business prop osition. I rpresent the personal rights and interests of the Osages because they are citizens of Oklahoma. You are i simply the chief guardian of these < particular lands. Justice to the ' Osages requires the cancellation of ] the lease which you have made with- < their knowledge or consent, and Ar. 1 * t. e.'w .41 ople w , . -?d jfc ,., ?' i . ?

HIS STRANGE STORY Laid Unconscious on the Railroad Track and Was Nearly Run Dona by Train?Taken to Savannah, Where He Regained Consciousness and Was Sent Home. A dispatch from Newberry to The News and Courier says Mr. James DeHart, of Saluda county, and so? of Mr. Dan J. DeHart, of this county, had a most remarkable experience on , Saturday, October 17. Mr. DeHart sold cotton at Chappell's, and was given a check on . .onwood and he took the morning train for Green wood to get his check cashed so that he might pay a back note which he owed at Ninety-Six. After getting his money, he came to Ninety-Six, and finding the bank closed, he says, as it was after hank hours, therefore could not pay his note. He then boarded the night train at Ninety-Six to return to his home in Saluda county. He left the train at Old Town, and here begins his remarkable experiences and nar row escapes, and the loss of his mon ey and clothes. It seems that that night there was a freight train following the passen ger train and the engineer, as be approached Old Town, observed something ahead of bis engine acro?<j the track. His engine carried a brilliant headlight, and he was thus enabled to stop Us train before the engine struck the object across the track. The engineer, whose name has not been learned, got down from his engine to examine this object on the track. He fjound it to be a white man. The body was square across the track with the foot resting on one rail, and the head, face downward, on the other. There was a cloth un der the man's nose saturated with chloroform. His hat, coat and shoes were missing, so our informantioa goes, and the man was unconscious. There was on his finger, however, a Knight of Pythias ring, and the engineer, being a Knight of Pythku, recognizing his obligation to care for a brother in distress, put the body on board his engine, and car ried it on to Columbia, but did not call a physician, or secure medical aid of any kind. The story is that the engineer** home is in Savannah and, as soon as he got off his run in Columbia, he boarded a Southern train for Sa vannah, carrying the unconscious form of his brother Pythian with him. Of all this Mr. DeHart knows nothing. When he gained conscious ness he wad in Savannah, and it was Sunday, and he discovered that his money was gone. The last thing that he remembers from the time he got off the train at Old Town on Saturday night until he came to himself on Sunday in Sa vannah is that as he got off the train at Old Town some one unknown to him put an arm around his neck and held a cloth under his nose. H* remembers having the money for his check when he got off the train, and not having It when he reached Sa vvannah, or rather when he found himself In Savannah. Mr. DeHart was given a ticket or pass by his engineer friend In Savan nah back to Newberry, when It was discovered who he was and wher? his home was. Mr. DeHart says he came back to Columbia and spent Monday night there, coming on to Newberry on Tuesday. Mr. G. M. P. Epting sent him oat to Mr, D. J. DeHarfs Tuesday, after his arrival in Newberry. In the meantime his wife had become alarmed at his not returning home^ and his father, Mr. Dan DeHart, had gone to Sanida. where they were -?^arching for the lost boy, and it was a relief to them all when he^ turned up alive. There seems to be no doubt that Mr. DeHart was chloroformed by some one who knew in some way that ho had this money and that the mon ey was taken away from him. * MARRIED WHILE DRUNK And Took His Life Upon Sobering Up Afterwards.
