Greei4ville News.
Columbia, Juno 1.-Governor Hey
ard devoted two or inore hours to
day to a hearing in the case against
fajor 'Black. He heard Mr. Gruber
and Mr.' P. ,H. Nelson, representing
ajor Black. They contended vigor
ously that the charges were .in no
event sufficient cause for removal
nd that Major Black should not be
moved.
Governor Heyward is working dili
ently and conscientiously on the case
nd whatever may be tile fiial deter
ination will be an hionest and proper
ecision. Governor Heyward wants
o act exactly within the law and deal
ustly as between. the Invesitigating
mmittee 'and Mr. Black. His letter
ransmitting the records to the Attor
eg General fully set forth his posi
on.
In it he writes:
"June 1, 1906.
Hon. LeRoy F. Yownaus, Attorney
General, Columbia, S 1.
"Dear Sir-It has been reported to
e as Governor of the State that on
riday, May 25th, Mr. Join Black, a
rector of the State dispensary, made
threatening attack upon Mr. J. Fra
r Lyon, a. member of the investi
ting committee of the dispensary.
''A communication from this com
ittee, addressed to me was received
my office Saturday morning. 'he
th, inst., containing a transcript of
e testimony given by Mr. Lyon, de
ling the circumstances of the af
.r. With this formal action of the
imittee before him, my secretary,
Norient, referred the ('orres
idence to your office (uini1g m1y ah
ee.
'The first knowledge that I rceeiv
of this incident was through the
spapers while at Walterboro, and
ost immediately afterwards the
inorable W. B. Gruber, one of the
rucys for Mr. Black, requested ic
ake no decisive action in the mat
1intil anl op)ortunity was given for
Black 's side of the case to be
rd.
This, formal repuest was made on
ground that the con(hict of Mr.
ek concerned private and personal
irs not in any way connected with
of[ieial affairs of his otm1ee and
t the Governor, therefore, had no
er -to remove him, even granting
t lie would have the power to do in
roper case.
'Tn order that no iijustice might
donie, anid for the furthier i'eason
t I, as Gover'nor of the State, be
ed it to b)e my dutly to act within
law, assurance was given thait I
11d not coindemn a man without
'ng him the privilege of appeaing
iown defense. Mr. Black's at
leys appeared (11 before me toda1 y.
'From Mr. Lyon 's statieent subl
ted to the committee it appear's
t a gi'ave off'einse was committed

duties by one of the highest of
Is of tIhe State dispensary, thme
airs of which institution he was

et of the Gener'al Assembly of

My impulse is to followv the sug
ion of the committee and remove
Black fmromn his offee as a rebuke
such behavior on the part of one
ing so impor'tant. ain ojice.
I herewith hand you nil of the pa

AFAi O BF, H A%ERA
Superstition of Eastern .Indians as
To the Danget of Photographs.
(Old Town (Me.) Cor.' New York
S3un.)
Dana Nicolar, a quarter blooded In
dialn, has just Violated the traditions
of his tribe by consenting to have his
photograph taken to please a Cana
dinu girl from Montreal, who says e
she is in love with him. Students of 81
thnology assert tliat no Indian wio '
Speaks the Natick or Eastern lang
uage of the tribes will conseut. to
stand before a epimera, uless le is
y
far gone in intoxica'tion. e
Among the beliefs held by the a
Abenaki tribe is one which asserts fl
that the great spirit has made from 8
twenty to thirty duplicates of every ,
Indian who wears the salhoii totem.
The original figure, which is the i
dianl himself, has powver to walk a- e
bout oil top of the earth and have a t
good time eating and getting intoxi- 'I
cated. The other nineteen to twenty
nine counterpart Indians are hidgen
away in still pools and deep iakes
where they remain sober all the time I
fiom compulsion. a
On festive occasions when a brave
is married or when he takes the scalp
of an enemy, lie is permitted to throw
stones into these watery hiding places
and stir up an aquatic duplicate of
himself. When the submerged Indian
rises near the surface the terrestrial
Indian may look in the water and see
himself. But every Indian is Caution
ed to be economical in drawing upon
his duplicates, as every time lie sees
his image in the pool lie uses up a
part of himself, and when the last one
is gone the Indian must (lie.
As every loyal Abenaki believes
that sitting before a camera is as bad
for his health as invoking his picture
from the bottom -of a pond, the ama
teur photographer is not a welcome
visitor at any tribal function. At
times this inherited animosity takes
the form of action, and the photogra
pher is ejected from the company with
force and his camera burned inl publir
while the braves and Squaws exceute
war dances 11o exjess their j41y. e
Th'le compulsion which le( Da1na. 0
Nicolar to imperil his stay on this side c
of the happy hunting ground was love t
at first sight. Under the spell of dark e
eyes from Montreal lie was lVd to an
Old Town, studio and submitted to I
the dangerous ordeal with true In- f
dian stoicism. I
When the party returned to the 1
reservation 1)a1na was missed from
tie supper table. Later a searching
party found him sitting on the ice
in the middle of i pond in Milford,
and gazing anxiously into a hole
which lie had cut in the ice. When
questioned regarding his eoiduct. lie
replied:
''mA'm bin lose'-ineself two tam'
terday. Biieby Ali'm bees all gone.
So more of' myself bin lef'. Bet you

- "GIMPY BILL'S" ESCAPE.
Th'illing Empelence. of a Legless
San Francisco Man.
Every resident of San Francisco
knows "Gimpy Bill," though perhaps
not by that name, says a special dis
patch from San Frahcisco to thb Wash
ington Post. He Is a cripple and men
dicant, who sells lead yencils on Mar
ket street. His legs have been cut off
at*the very hips, and in place of legs
'he moves on wheeled platforms
strapped to the stumps. He works
himself along the pavements with two
short canes, and his head is about at
the level of the head of a ,dog. He is
a man on castors instead of legs.
When the earthquake came Bill was
sleeping over -a saloon on Washington
I street, near , Montgomery-a region
which got a heavy shock. His street
legs were unstrapped, but he had his
clothes on. He was pitched out of bed
and rolled about the room like an
empty demijohn. A heavy cornice fell
through the ceiling of his room and
missed him by a foot. He rolled away
I from the wreck and managed to get
his rollers, which he strapped on. He
tried the door, but the wreckage out
I side it had him penned in a prisoner.
I He trundled himself to the window
and saw that the district was on fire.
Bill made it bac to the bed, twisted
the blankets and sheets into a rope,
tied his canes about his neck with a
cord and slid out of the window. His
rope was too short. At the end of it he
hung ten feet above the streets. There
he swung and yelled, afraid of what
the drop might do to his trundle plat
forms, until some passing person
threw up a pile of boxes and helped
him down.
In one day, driven always backward
by the fire, this cripple covered about
fourteen miles, ending In a camp at
Golden Gate park. At one time he
grabbed the tailboard of a wagon and
held on, his platforms bumpiu over
the cobbles. At 'another time his only
way of escape from the fire was across
Russian hill, up which an Italian pull
ed him with a rope for 10 cents.
ROOSEVELT "TO THE GOOD."
Pugilist Regales Gov. Johnson With
Pistic Memories of President.
John L. Sullivan, fighter, recently in
terviewed John A. Johnson, governor,
at Minnesota's marble capitol, says a
4 St. Paul dispatch. Mr. Sullivan said:
1 "Say, governor, I've heard of you be
f fore, and when I say that I am glad to
o meet you I am not giving you hot air.
e You're all to the good when it comes
i to showing them insurance fellers
e wh* they get off at."
Mr. Sullivan was asked what he
thought of President Roosevelt by E.
s T. Yopng, attorney general. He re
t plied: "Raosevelt? Say, that guy is
i- all to the good. Of course he can't do
s nothing, but If he was allowed to have
t his own way this country 'ul be fine
. goin'.
"I recollect Roosevelt when he was
police commissioner of little old New
York. The night that Peter Maher and
Joe Choynski fought at Coney Island
Roosevelt was at the ringside. I sat
near him. Just about the middle of the
fight a fresh police captain thought he'd
stop the fight. Mr. Roosevelt got up
and says: 'Say, look here, I'm police
commissioner. and I know when men
are fighting each other, and this fight is
all right Go along now and don't in
terfere again.' The flght went on to the
finIsh."
Mr. Sullivan has been appearIng at
a vaudeville theater in St. Paul.
