Sonator A. C. 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.

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

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

Just What Do They Think of Them- '

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

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
