H. W. ERASER BANK EXAMINER. 1 Georgetown Banker Named to Succeed Rhame?Blease's Further Action Makes Situation Complicated. Columbia, April 8.?Hugh Wilson Fraser. cashier of the People's bank, of Georgetown, was today appointed State bank examiner by Governor Blease. to succeed B. J. Rhame, whom the governor removed. Mr. Fraser will qualify and enter upon the du-1 ties of his office at once. He arrived j from Georgetown this morning and was appointed by the governor just before the latter caught the train for ; Gaffney, where he goes to attend the meeting of th e Red Men today and i tomorrow. Mr. Fraser returned this! afternoon to Georgetown, where he will attend to his personal business j and will then return here before assuming the duties of the office. tor l ouns IU i/rviuc 5 j It will probably be necessary for! the courts to decide just who is bank! examiner now, for Mr. Rhame has refused to recognize the right of the | governor to remove him and has re- j tained Mr. W. F. Stevenson to defend his rights in the courts. Meanwhile Mr. Rhame is holding 0:1 to the office: of bank examiner and it was stated; * " - " - -1 ^ - T- _ J J ?f~/l ; tilts morning uiut ue iia,u ueyai icu uu i a tour of examining the banks; this! same informant stated that it was understood that Mr. Rhame was only going to go to such banks that he knew j were friendly. In other words, if this information is correct, Mr. Rhame is ! going to leave it up to the governor's i appointee to make ihe first move which will throw the matter into the courts, j ^pvpmi of Testiner. Th?re are several ways Mr. Fraser: can test the matter. He can attest tone matter by a writ of certiorari in the courts, or by mandamusing the State treasurer to pay his warrants as the legal bank examiner, or if he . should go to make examination or a bank and the bank would refuse to let him, he could bring action in the | courts to compel the bank to recognize him as the legal examiner. Thus, it will be seen that there are several methods by which Mr. Fraser could i proceed, but he stated this morning: that he had not decided which course ,J Ua V><->c- rmalifiprl 9, nrl lie WUU1U pulsus iiv iido H ^ ^ ? been commissioned. His bond for $15,000 has been properly executed. Salaries and Assistants. The bank examiner draws a salary of $3,000 and is allowed expenses j while on the road. In addition he has j two assistants, one at a salary of $1,800 and the other at a salary of $1,500. j The present assistants are T. C. Dunkin and J. K. Dixon. Mr. Rhame was j commissioned by Governor Ansel on o December 21, 1910, to fill out the unex- j I "pired term of Mr. Giles L. Wilson, who had accepted a position as national bank examiner. The present term ex-; i pires March S, 1914, and whoever the " courts decidc is the legal examiner will serve out this term. Meanwhile, speculation is rife and , the matter will likely be decided soon : by the courts. Governor Blease has i declared that he would employ coun- j i sel to defend the legality of his appointee's right to the office. Mr. Fraser is a close relative of Associate Justice T. B. Fraser, of the supreme court, and comes of a prominent Georgetown family. COMMITTEE UPHOLDS AINSWOKTH Taft and Stimson Arraigned in Reportj to House?Result of Recent Investigation. . ? Washington, April 9.?President1 Taft and Secretary Stimson are se-: verely arraigned in a sensational report on the Ainsworth case, presented j to th" house today by the military af- j fairs committee. Secretary Stimson is charged with i paving committed a "great and irreparable wrong" and "a flagrant misuse of official authority," which, last Feb- ; ruary, he suspended Gen. Ainsworth j from his duties as adjutant general of the army and charged him with insubordination. That the president and j Secretary Stinson prejudiced the case, I that the accusations against the geni Koeo,i nrw~m nrpindice. and i ?rai uactu , that the secretary of war has an "erroneous idea" of his relation to congress are some of the other conclusions reached b\; a majority of the committee, of which Representative Hay, of Virginia, is chairman. Ainsvrorth Allowed to Retire. After Gen. Ainsworth's relief from duty, and when a court-martial seemed probable, the president permittee in, retire from the army because 01 1X11X1 tv x V- V-- ? his long service. The report follows an investigation of Gen. Ainswortli's relief from duty, set afoot by a resolution by Representative Watkins, of Louisiana. Cri:ieising the relief of Gen. Ains-worih, the report declares the "worst feature of it was- that this officer of long ,-nd distinguished service had no tribunal to which he could appeal with the hope of justice or fair treatment." Charges Declared Not Justified. The majority of the committee conclude that Gen. Ainsworth had beea r\ i 11 Q T 1 fl fVl t h ] pi - ?111.11, J WL i I ^ avi ? "ivu j -?? ! ter of suspension from Secretary Stimson and "that the charges had origin I in a determination to drive Gen. Ainsworth from active service and have nothing to support them but that baie assertion coupled with misrepresentation and suppression of the truth." rrt1 ^ m o "t? a + 1 He report lueu gutTa UII w oa; iuai it is incredible of belief that Secretary : Stimson believed Gen. Aainsworth guilty of the charges and adds: The Real Reason? "Some other reason must have actuated the secretary of war, and thfvt reason is not hard to find. Your committee being familiar with all the phases of the legislative features in the army appropriation bill, can readilv account for this violent assault cn Gen. Ainsworth." It is pointed out that Gen. Ainsworth favored the five-year enlistment plan in the army bill, which was opposed j by other officers of the general staff, and that Secretary Stimson's letter of j suspension 01 tne general was sewi un the day that this feature of the bill' was being discussed in the house. . Stimson Scored Again. Secretary Stimson's comment to the j house when he sent the papers in the i case, to the effect that his action "was not to be construed as a recognition of the authority of the house or any of its committees to require of the chief executive a statement of reasons for| his official action" is severely criti-; cised. Gen. Ainsworth's" stand upon a certain letter to the secretary of war, upon which much of the charges was based, is defended. * HOOKS SEAMAN A.

Boston, April 8.?A group of tired, hungry passengers of the Merchants' j and Miners' steamer Ontario, which; was driven ashore, burning, on Montauk Point, Long Island, early today, arrived here late today, from New London, Conn., where they \^ere landed by a tug. Most of them were with-1 out Daggage. soiu^ nau uiesscu su hurriedly in the extreme excitement that they had scarcely sufficient clothing. When the Ontario was run ashore j she carried. thirty-two passengers, twenty-two first and second cabin, and ten Italians in the steerage. All but two of the passengers were brought to Boston. Despite their trying ex! nerience they took the situation philosophically. "Unavoidable Misfortune." i "It was an unavoilable misfortune," said one, while others said they believed no one was to blame. There was no panic, except among the steerI age passengers, who, not understandjing English, could not be calmed and ; directed. They were forced by the ship's crew into the saloon. Some of j the.11 insisted 011 running on deck and ; few tried to climb the masts, thinking (he shin was going to sink. ! "The women,'* said H. W. Sanborn, .

"If there were any heroes on that boat they were Ingalls, the plucky wireless operator, and Chief Engineer Disney. Both of them stuck to their posts until their duty was done and j they were mostly responsible for our j safety." That the fire started before the ship left Baltimore was the opinion ex1 pressed by D. C. Cannon, one of the passengers. Cannon declares he saw stevedores, who were stowing the cotton, smoking, and it is his theory that a smouldering match or cigarette 1 started a blaze before the steamer left port.

A LIVER MEDICINE THAT BEATS CALOMEL Dodsou's Liver Tone Does the Same Work as Calomel Without Making You Sick?It is Vegetable, -i V jltisics uuuu anu er Fails. Everybody who has ever taken calomel knows what a strong drug it is. Calomel spurs the tired liver as if it were a tired horse, and while the liver works harder for a lictle while, it is soon weaker than ever. Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable tonic that gently induces the most sluggish liver to work. Taking it is followed by no bad after-effects. No restriction of habit or diet necessary. For either children or grown people. W. G. Mayes sells a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for fifty cents and guarantees it to be a perfect substitute for calomel and will give you your money back if it disappoints you.

W'e do our friends a valuable service when we call their attention to the j valuable book entitled, "THE TIMB IS AT HAND," in which are given many Scriptural evidences to prove where we are on the stream of time. "Men's hearts are failing them for 1 f??r" and manv of the leading think ers are proposing remedies to better conditions. The Scriptures assure us that man's extremity will be God's opportunity, and this book holds out ; an anchor to those who fear the ware of unrest now spreading over the world. ' The honest heart confesses that it is at a loss for an explanation of transpiring events. While we refer to this j as the BRAIN AGE and the Age of | ENLIGHTENMENT, nevertheless i many realize that we are rase approaching a crisis which is wrapped in ! darkness owing to the present worldwide social, religious and political unj rest i As though by instinct the whole creation, while it groans and travails In pain together, waits for, longa for j and hopes for the DAY, calling it the "GOLDEN AGE"; yet men grope blindly because not aware of the great Jehovah's gracious purposes.
