Woman's Christian Temperance Un- ci

New York, September 25.-One
plank in the platform adopted yes
terday by the twenty-second annual
convention of the Women's Christian tv
Temperance union of Kings county ta
is devoted to a condemnation of che J
subway tavern that was. 0
The subway tavern, it reads-, "has w
now revealed its true character-that D
of a common saloon-its care-taker af
having confessed that its aim -was to ar
secure as customers the respectable I
inhabitants of the residential section a(
of the city. m
"We protest against the establish- or
ment of such traps for the unwary, e
and countenanciny of such devices of I~
satan by Christians, and we will labor i
against such places equally as against p'
the less hypocritcal saloon."
In Memornoi. F
Once again the sable messenger has F
entered our midst. Once more the I
still hands have been folded o'er the
silent form of a devoted wife and
mother, tender and true. Four years
ago, Mrs. S. G. 'Carter was attacked v
with lagrippe. which brought on a lb
severe case of pneumonia. from which T
resulted pulmonary trouble: that T
scourge from which there is no es- T
cape.
With a resigna,tion that is born of d
faith, she faced The inevitable and ash
day by day she neared the silent
littoral, she gathered from the un.. C
seen that strength wvhich enabled her B
to step with unfakiering m:en into the U
dark waters of the river that flows V
between this v-ale of sorrow and the P
eternal shore. Another home is left L
desolate, other hearts are anguished; F
and yet. .there is still the consolation IZ
that for her the storm-clouds have I
passed, and that she is at rest in the
sunshine of everlasting love. le

DARLINGTON GRAND JURY.
Presents Pegram Dargan As Acces
sory Jn Procuring the Death of
His Brother, R. K. Dargan.
Darlington, September 26.-"We
present Pegram Dargan for aiding
and abetting Robert Keith Dargan in
taking his own life, by procuring and
giving to his brother, Keith Dargan.
carbolic acid and other drugs. with
which he took his life on the iith day
of July, 1905, in Darlington. S. C.
We offer as witnesses J. N. Clanton,
Dr. G. B. Edwards, J. S. Floyd and
J. K. Doyle." This was one of the
rccommendations made by the grand
jury here today.
Since the death of Mr. Robert
Ke-ith Dargan it has been a matter of
conjecture here and elsewhere as to
whether the grand jury at this term
of court would incriminate Mr. Pe
gram Dargan in taking the life of his
brother. This recommendation will
doubtless be of general interest, since
there have -been so many stories afloat
with regard to *rhe. peculiar circum
stances of R. K. Dargen's death.
Judge Gary thanked the jury for the
fai-ch-ful discharge of their duty and
assured them that -their recommenda
tions would be carried into effect.
This means, of course, that the
Dargan mat.ter will again be brought
before the public. Pegram Dargan
will likely be summoned to appear at
the next term of court and tried upon
the charge implied in the foregoing
presentment.
The following is the grand jury
who made the presentment and who
have been discharged: Albert Jor
dar, Jr., foreman; D. C. Adams, D. J.
Bass, M. 0. Anderson, W. J. Benson,
W. C. Barefoot, R. L. Blackman, E.
R. Caston, N. K. Gibson, 0. D. Joye,
A. L. Laney, R. L. Meiton, E. V. Mc
Nabb, W. R. Teal.
The presentment of Mr. Pegrarn
Dargan was made in the general re.
port of the grand jury. This was
their final report for the year and they
were at once discharged by Judge
Gary. The action of the grand jury
brings the matter directly and offi
cially before Solicitor Johnson, who
says he can do nothing at this term
of court, as the grand jury is now dis
charged. The next session of the
criminal court does not convene until
next March and Solicitor Johnson
has nothing to say.
A few other minor cases were
isposed of by ,the court. The most
important was that of Reuben
Bull, who was found guilty of
the manslaughter of Murray Camp
bell.
DAMAGE SUIT.
Proprietor of Peruna Company Sues
Ladies Home Journal for $250,
00o.
Chicago, September 26.--Suit was
begun in the Superior court today
for $250,000 damages against the
iCurtis Publishing company. publish
ers of the Ladies' Home Journal.
Samuel B. Hartman. of Columbus,
Ohio, proprietor of the Peruna Medi
cine company. is the plaintiff in 'the
su t.
In the August issue of the Journal,
the declaration says that an adver
tisement of the Peruna company con
tained a testimenial from Congress
man George H. White, of North Car
olina. In the next issue of the miaga.
zine the declaration alleges tha,t the
testimonial was reprinted, but with
it was a signed denial from Congress
man White tha-t he had given the tes
timonial to the medicine company.
This denial, Har,tman alleges, was ob
tained through a misunderstanding,
as Congressman White, it is said in
the declaration, signed the original
testimonial.
It's the wise boy who is considerate
of today and doesn't worry about to
KNOCKED OUT IN YORK.
The Dispensary Defeated by a Vote
706 to 131.
Yorkville, September 26.-By a
majority of practically six to one
the voters of York county said at the
ballot box today that the dispensary
at Yorkville must be closed. Eight
hundred and thirty-seven votes were
polled a: 18 of the ig precincts, of
which 706 were against the dispen
sary, and 131 in favor of its retention.
Piedmont, the precinct not heard
from, ordinarily polls about 15 votes
in a primary.
While the vote is much smaller
than was expected, still the prohi
bitionists are entirely satisfied with
the result.
The farmers are exceedingly busy
gatheling their crop, and hundreds
of them did not take time to vote be
cause they considered the result a
foregone conclusion, and that the
majority against the dispensary would
be sufficiently large without their
votes. And as many as fifty persons
were denied the privilege of voting at
Yorkville because of defects in their
registration certificates, due to care
lessness on the part of the supervisors
of registration. The following is the
vote by precincts:
Bethel, no 29, yes 2; Bethany, no ig,
yes 2; Blairsville, nO 2, yes I; Bul
lock's Creek, no 16, yes 3; Fort Mill,
no 41, yes21; Forest Hill. no 20, yes 0;
Hickory Grove, no 59, yes 2; Mc
port, no 21, yes 6; Ogden. no 6, yes 3;
Rock Hill, no go, yes 33; Sharon, no
25, yes i; Smyrna. no 25, yes 2: Tir

DALES REMARKS DENIED.
President Macara Says Haul to New'
England Puts America on P*r
With England.
London, September 26.-C. W. Ma
cara, president of the Master Cotton
Spinners' association of Great Britian,
replying to a statement made by S. S.
Dale, who represented the New Eng
,land Cotton Spinners' an'd Mianufac
-Eurers' association in the last inter
national cotton congress at Manches
ter. declares that Mr. Dale misrep
resented the attitude of the congress
respecting the consumption of raw
cotcon. The congress, Mr. Macara
says, had no quarrel with American
planters, had no desire to interfere
with their legitimate profits and had
no objection to -the fluctuations
brought abouc by a small or a l.arge
yield. As a matter of fact the grow
er would be well rewarded in an ordi
nary season by a return of eight cents
per pound. By gambling operations,
however, the price had been advanc
ed for several seasons to 14 cents per
pound higher, which meant an ad
vance on the world's crop of $480.
oooooo. The American spinner, Mr.
Macara adds, is as badly handicapped
as the European spinners, the cost
of the carr.iage of cotton to the
New Eng'land. mills being as great
as the cost of carriage by sea to Lan
cashire.
