OFFERS TO FIGlT T.I B. FELDER. .A bheville 3Ian. is Goveirnor's Cham pion, Accepts Lawyer's Chal lenge. Abbeville. June 9.-It has remained for old Abbeville to put forth a man as a target for the bullet of Col. T. B. Felder. of Atlanta, who recently chal Ienged Governor Blease. Mr. W. P. Beard has written a letter, which will appear in the next issue of the Press and Banner. in which he accepts for Governor Blease the challenge to per son il combat. In part the communi et-i is as follows: --To the Hon. Fighting To Bom baster Felder, Esquire. otherwise known as the Atlanta Lawyer: "Dear Sir: Disclaiming for myself any personal feeling whatever toward your honorable self, yet, in considera-: tion of peculiar conditions at present surrouading the quarrel betweti jou and Governor Blease, it seems to me that the obligation to maintain the honor of this State rests as much up on the citizens as the executive, and' as the hands of the executive are tied by his oath of office, imposed by act of law at the demand of the citizens! thereof, by the same token the duty of placing himself between the honor of his State and the assaiant reverts to the citizens generally, collectively and individually, and as I have, after diligent search, failed to find a suf ficient number to meet the assault in force, have decided to otrer my own individual anatomy as the ca.E bt Lor your unerring bullet, thereby appeas ing your righteous wrath and saving, the honor of my native bate. "Therefore, honorable sir, you will please consider ycur challenge to Governor Blease accepted and the in cident closed, unless you wish to fur ther advertise your firm, and that your humble servant will hold himself in readiness for a meeting on the field of i honor, at such time and place and with such weapons as our respective seconds can agree upon." The communication is a lengthy one, the above being only the introduction. IELAN SKYSCRAPER .AS BANK BUTILDING To be Erected at Corner of Gervais' and Main Streets, in Co lumbia. Columbia State. The 10-story bank building told of 'in the State Thursday will be er'ected by the Union National bank on the site acquired some months aAat the mortheast corner of Main ani. Grvais streets. The present two-story bm'd lng- on this i roperty is occupiel as the transfer station by the street railway and by the railroad comrnission, which maintains its headquarters on the sec e.nd floor. 'The bank is ready to proceed with 'the construction 'of its new building as soon as the present building is vg, scated. The leases of the oc'cupants do n ot expire until the early part of n xt year. but it is probable that an ar rangement can -be made by which they will relinquish their rights in order that the work may proceed. It is safe to say that neither the street railway officials or* the railroad commission will retard such an important develop mnent if it can be avoided. The street -railway has on more than one occa ~sion manifested its disposition to meet in cooperative spirit plans involving nmatters of public importance. Plans for the building have been 'prepared, but since that was done the -bank *authorities have acquired more space, giving them a greater depth or Gervais street, and the drawings will be changed to conform to the shape of of the site as it now stands. The ground floor will be occupied 'by the bank and the upper floors will be devoted to offices. The frontage -on Main street is 52 feet ~DEATH CLAIMS CARRIE NATION Tamous Saloon Smasher Succumbs ti Disease-Her Career. Leavenworth, Kan., June 9.--Carri' 'Nation, the Kansas saloon smasher -died here' tonight. Paresis was the cause of death. Fo: ssveral months Mrs. Nation had beel Ein ipoor health, and on January 22 shi entered the local sanitarium in whic! she died, hoping there to recover froi .a nervous breakdown. The phy3iels.a at the sauitariumn in Normed :Irs. Nation several days ag -that the end was near. She said noti ing, but smiled. She became uncol *-scious at noon today and did not rf vive. Relatives had been telegraphe 'or, but only the doctor and *a a .*r 'trere at her bedside when she died Worry over lawsuits, which she ha brought against a lecture bureau f( failure to pay for services, is said1 have caused her break-down. TI ~~ody will be sent to Kansas Cit where a nephew lives. Funeral ser vices will be held there probably on Sunday: Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in Kentucky in 1S46. Her maiden name was Carrie Moore, and as a girl she was absolutely fearless. In her early. life she married a man addicted to the use of intoxicants, which created in her an intese aversion to the salooi. When he died she determined to de vote her life to the suppression of the' liquor traffic. Later she moved to Kansas and married David Nation, who symnathized with her temperance principles. Mrs. Nation's first saloon smashing was done in the bar room of the Car rie Hotel. in Wichita. December 27, 1900. She was arrested and remain ed in jail several days before she w.s released on bond. On January 21, 1901, armed with her favorite weapon, a hatchet. she made another raid in Wichita. This time she smashea two saloons. During the next three months Mrs. Nation surprised the saloon-keep ers in various Kansas towns, appear ing unheralded and leaving a trail of ruined bar room fixtures wherever she went. Remarkably few saloon men used violence in resisting Mrs. Nation, al though she was assaulted and badly hurt while wrecking a bar at Enter prise, Kan. By this time the State of Kansas was in a ferment. Aroused by the spirit of the dauntless woman from Kentucky, the people began to demand that all the saloons be closed, Smashing parties were organized all over the State. As a result of the agi tation bills were passed by the legis lature which strengthened the State prohibitory law. Erratic as her life has been, Mrs. Nation was responsible for the great est temperance awakeni,ng in Kansas. Mrs. Nation, after her activities in Kansas, became a lecturer and the ditor of a paper called the "Smash er's Mail." She did little smashing outside of Kansas. The home which she founded in Kansas City, Kan., for drunkards' wives was recently taken over by the Associated Charities in Kansas City, Mo. PLN NEW ASYLUMI BUILDINGS. Man Who is Restoring New York State Capital to Furnish Plans for Buildings. Columbia. June 9.--F. B. Ware, the1 architect who has been engaged* in restoring New York State's capital, at Albany, was .engaged as the architect' for the asylum commission this after noon. Plans for buildings, in -part, are expected to be given in 30 days, and the buildings will be erected on the new property at "State Park" as soon as possible, the need for addi tional buildings being fully recogniz ed. Full leeting. All members of the commission were present today. Meeting with the asylum commission at the new prop erty this afternoon, were the members of the board of regents of the asylum, J. L. Ludlow, the consulting engineer for the commission; H. P. Kelsey, the landscape artist; F. B. Ware, archi tect, of New York; J. H. Foster, of the forestry service of tue government, and L. C. Corbett, of the agricultural department of the bureau of plant in dustry.. Experts Co-operating. The government men are co-operat ing with the commission in its work~ of laying out "State Park." A survey is being had. The government men and Mr. Ludlow, the engineer, and all engaged in the work are going to get together tomorrow and again go out to the property to work out details as to the laying out of the park, with re gard to the forestry part; the lay of ithe land, with regard td buildings, and all matters affecting the property. The whole idea is to have framed a mod ern plant. Colony Plan. Dr. J. W. Babcock, the chairman of the board, recently announced the ultimate making of the colony plan out of the new property. This wil] give about 100 patients to a building instead of 200 to 300, as is the cas* in. some of the biuldings at the presen1 site of the asylum. The new site is tc be used for negro patients. It is believed that the actual erec tion of buildings on the new Statt Park is not far distant now. Governor Asks Quick Action. -The asylum commission met her, today and this afternoon an inspectio> of the new "State Park" was had. Th d members of the commission met thi emorning with Governor Blease pres ent. He asked some quick action i: dproviding for the insane patients a r the new asylum.
