Latimer Dies Of Stomach Trouble in Hospital In Washington. | Special to The Herald and News. Columbia, Fob. 20.?(Senator Asbury Churchwell Latimer died this morning at about nine o'clock. Senator Latimer has been sick in Washington for only a few days. On | Monday it was reported that, following an operation for a twist of the I bowels, he was lying- in a critical con| dition in the Providence hospital in \ Washington. At the time Lis ill$ nesfi came upon him, it was stated, he || had not been feeling well for a week. At midnight Saturday lie was sudMfi denlv taken worse and was removed JSfe at once to the hospital for an opera||||H'h>n for appendicitis. It was discov|>|k" ered when the incision had been $ja|' made that the trouble was more WkBL grave than expected and that the inllpMcstines were involved. 5^^ An operation was performed ModWw^'day and at. its conclusion it was ann???U'od that, though hope was felt flfl| f()l' n*s recovery, thn outcome was try ?no uieans certain. 'Senator Latimer's . condition was yW! ol niak'nall.v changed on Wednes?;da,v. lie had a return Wednesday |P afternoon of the severe pain which 'l||| afflicted him on Tuesday and mordoses were administered to Past> "'is "whenever it recurred. He was conscious most of the time, howhW i i '0V01'- nnd lus temperature was alsMf most normal. P Tlie disease with which Senator Latimer was atHicte.l was termed bv '111; 'he physicians "voliiulus," a twist>V i?g ??f the smaller intestines. After the first operation which showed that $ 'he diagnosis of appendicitis was a ? mistake another operation revealed 'he fact that !Mi inches of the smaller !' }; intestines was affected and that peri2$ 'onitis had sot in over a width of the peritoneum, or lining of (ho bowels, about one and a half feet around. The surgeons straightened out the in-j ft lest inc. set it right and adminislerc?l the other necessary treatment. 'Senator Latimer was born near lr I^wdesvillo. Aibbcville county, S. <(!'; . ^ > duly ,11, 18,1. 1 T<? was educated '1 ^ common schools then existing. # He removed to Bolton, Anderson county, in 1SS0. Ho was elected chairman of the democratic partv of his county in IS!)(), and re-elected in m He served as congressman from the third district for several terms, and was then elected United p Stales senator. |r S Special lo The Herald and N-ws. Columbia, Feb. lit).?flov. Ansel has not yet been ollicially notified of ft Senator Latimer's death. As soon ^ as lie is notified he will send up a I special message, and the legislature will adjourn lor a time on account of I his death. I he legislature w ill appoint committees to attend the funeral, which g will be held at Helton on Saturday. (Section 1/ ol, the Revised Statutes h of 'he I nited States provides: "tSoc. 17. (Vacancy During Session [ ol> I^egislature.) Whenever during the session of the legislature (?f anv g State a vacancy occurs in the repie| sentation of such 'S'ate in the senate v similar proceedings lo till such vacan| shall be had on the second Tuesday after Iae legislature lias organized and has notice of such vav-ancv." (R. S.) Act of .July 2."). 1S0(>, ch. 21"), 14 Stat. L. 243. || This means that, the vacancy hav-i' inji' occurred during tlu> session of [ tlie legislature, it will be tilled by the 1 | legislature, instead of by the i?over- ! nor. il This may make it necesaiy for the j legislature to remain in session some ; time after the time now proposed for j I adjournment. The. candidates already mentioned, for Senator Latimer's unexpired term \ which runs until AFareh. 1 i)OJ), are S1 (ieneral Wiley Jones, state democratic chairman, Representative Hucker. I of Anderson. Kx-Speaker Frank 11. I ^ Clary, of Alb'heville; Senator LeCJrand j: Walker, of Cleoriictown. Speaker ? Whaley lias been mentioned, but lias positively declined to run. j The statute providing for the elec-ii tion of a successor of Senator Lati-|? mer seems to be peculiarly worded. It would appear to a layman i that the legislature can not elect un- I I til the second Tuesday after il hasjl had notice, which will be a week j< from next Tuesday. In that event i it is supposed' t'aat the legislature j < will adjourn and will ? <> back to Co- j lumbia to elect a successor to Sena- ; I tor Latimer. j i I I KINGS OF TODAY. 1 I( Just What Do They Think of Them- ' selves. London Spectator. The kinjrs are in front just now. 'They have been nainimr upon tlrj statesmen in popular imagination for some years, and at this moment few ' speeches 'by cabinet ministers are real with interest attached to the ' carefully-worded utterances of sov- < ereiuns <ni their travels, and no ac- . 1 hon-s are sludi'sl so clc-seiy as their i1 usually very rapid movements. Tt is 1 1 dillicr.lt, as one reads of their visile j 1 to each other, ami ponrfers the mean- i1 itur of their friendlincsp, not to won- j} der a !i;!l" what lj.iey think of them-j I selves. | i Thr.i-h so often in evidence. 1 hey j 1 tell us very little about that, and the!' world has to gather it up from obser- ' vations not .often accurate, nor al- ' wavs even keen. Do they really imagine, as is so often assumed, that i they stand between the statesmen [ and the higher poewrs, holding in ] special charge the safety of their pv?o- 1 pies? We may be sure that they ' themselves reject the cynical expla-1 nation that they must reivu by ,li- ! vine decree, for nothing else could explain that fact of their reii?nin?r ( al all: but do they offer, in moods ' of reflection and' self-communion, ' anv other explatnalion to themselv- 1 The flerman emperor probably > 1 does, for, through the rise of the llo- ' henzollerns to the verv I?has .been somewhat sudden of late, his house ' has behind il a lonjf line of success- 1 es so amaziny as to surest the inten- ' tion of Providence lhal the family should succeed, liostbach may be ac- j counted for by the renins of the 1 trreal Frederick, but the idiocy in ' ; Versailles which made Rosbach pos- * [si:ble surests somethimr of overrulinjr ' I'rovioencc.
