Charges of Arson Against His
Parent.
Aiken, May 23.?John M. Bryant^
a well-to-do farmer of Aiken county,
has been arrested on a warrant sworn
out by his son, John C. Bryant, who
charges his father with arson.
The elder Bryant is in jail.
Young Byrant's barn was burned
on Friday night of last week. In the
warrant it is alleged that the elder
Bryant set fire to tbe building which
was in close proximity to the dwelling
house of John C. Bryant, his residence
~ - - j r* ^
being in danger irom tne nre. iue
Bryants, father and son, are near
neighbors, living a few miles from
town.
Son charging father with a crime
of this nature, the penalty of which,
if he is convicted, is death under the
South 'Carolina law, has created
somethiing of a sensation here.

j?Tienas 01 me eiaer ?>iyd.uL uewaic
that the charges grew out of a family
row which has been on for some
time past and which has estranged
father and son.
John M. Bryant is well known
throughout the county. He is a man
of means and regarded as a substantial
farmer.
1 This is the second warrant chargx
ing arson that Magistrate Smoak has
issued in the last two weeks. The

FATHER A>D
CHILDREN POISONED
One Child Has Succumbed And Three
Others 3Iay Die.
Aiken. May 22.?Advices, -.received
here late this afternoon state that Mr.
Matt Clark and seven children, of
white Pond, are suffering from ptomaine
poisoning, 'caused by eating
canned goods.
Two physicians have been in constant
attendance,-but despite this fact,
one child is already dead, and three
others are not expected to live. For
Mr. Clark and the remaining children,
the physicians still hold *, out some
hope.
' The afflictions visited upon this family
during the past six days are most
tragic and unusual. Just about a week
ago, the father and ten of his children
>
were bitten bv a dog who had the
rabies. _ ?
The entire party was carried to Columbia
for treatment and had just returned
home, when this second blow
fell upon them. The wife and mother
is beside hers-elf with grief.
DEADLY POISO> DOES WORK.
Tonnsr TOtcon Banker Loses in Fis:ht
Against Death.
Macon, Ga., May 22.?After quietly
facing for a week the inevitable result
of his mistake in taking bichloride of
mercury, thinking it a headache tablet,
B. Sanders Walker, a prominent young
banker and realty dealer, died this
morning at 1.35 o'clock. Members of
the family had gathered at his bedside j
several davs ago when the doctors an- i
i
nounced there was no hope for him,1
and to them Mr. Walker gave no sign |
of a tremor, but went to his death with
a resignation that has rendered the j
case more than usually interesting
throughout the country.
During the last day he was under
the influence of opiates most of the
time, but in conscious intervals gave
evidence that he was not suffering.
Scores of sympathetic messages were
received by the family, and many of
them were in the nature of inquiries
as to the treatment being given Mr.
"Walker. It has been impossible to find j
out definitely what course the physi- i
cians took, as they have refused to
talk, except to briefly trace the pro- j
gress of the poison s slow, but deadly
effect.
Members of the family are quoted
as expressing much dissatisfaction
with some of the reports that have
originated in Macon. They declare that
Mr. Walker remained constantly in his
bed room after it was discovered that
he had taken the fatal dose.

Palmer was in a hotel when he took

A policeman overpowered him and
he was sent to a hospital, where it
was reported that Palmer was resigned
to his fate.

It-was stated by a resident of Suljlivans
Island that several officers
I were reported wounded, Capt Hanna
i being one of them. He said that it j
was difficult to learn just how many
were wounded when the fragments of
the cannon scattered among the soldiers
close by.
It was reported that the breech had
not been properly closed after the insertion
of a cartridge and that when
the cap was exploded the breech was
thrown back with terriffic force.

j to the Georgia-Carolina fair at An- J
jrailway next November," said James!
|U. Jackson, president of the proposed j
! new road in addressing an enthusiastic i
audience of Lexington in the court
house here tonight, and we expect
to be hauling passengers and freight
between Columbia and Lexington over
thp nPTc plpotrie railroad within the
next few months. \
President Jackson came to Lexing'ton
from Columbia with an auton^ojbile
party composed o? C. M. Efird,

Thos. P. Meetz, Carl F. Oswald, G. A.
Derrick and Edw. G. Dreher, repre- \
senting the business men of this
town.
Mr. Jackson was ushered to the
/
court house where he addressed an
audience of more. Than 100 repre
sentative citizens. An organization
was effected by the election of C. M.
Efird chairman, and D. R. Haltiwanger
secretary. President Jackson was introduced
amid a round of applause.
He expressed his appreciation of the
warm reception lie had received at the j
hands of the people of this town.
"Nothing," said he, "ha? ever hap-j
pened in Lexingron that means as!,
much for the town and community;'
as the coming of this road. I am
here not asking for aid in a financial :
way, but seeking your help and cooperation
in this great undertaking. 1
What we want is your help in s-ecur- ;

this w*ork will commence at once."
President Jackson said that he
wished that the new road could he ,
built by Southern capital, but this
is impossible. He said that his associates
in the Augusta-Aiken railway
are not his 'financial backers In
this undertaking.
The contract for the construction

to Michael McGrath of Massachusetts,
who has built more lines of electric
railway than any other man in the
world, said Mr. Jackson, "and just
i as soon as the right of way is secured '
construction will begin." Just what
rout" will chosen lias not deflnit ly
been decided upon, but it is supposed
that it will traverse one of the routes
surveyed some years ago by Engineer
Shand of Columbia.
It is the purpose of Mr. Jackson to
commence operations at both ends of
the line. The contract will be sublei

Mr. Jackson said that all of the
arrangements for the connection with
the Seaboard at Columbia had been
perfected, the final agreements having
been reached today. At the conclusion
of Mr. Jackson's address the
chairman of the meeting was authorised
to appoint a committee of five
whose duty it will be to confer with
Engineer Shand of Columbia and
decide upon the route.' When this is
done the committee will at once take
the work of securing the right of way.
Chairman Efircl will appoint this committee
within the next few days.
President Jackson urged the importance
of the committee getting together
at once to secure the right
of way.
"Tho cnnnpr vrm let me know that
I can go ahead between Lexington and
Columbia, the quicker you will get
the road," he said. President Jackson
returned to Columbia immediately
after the meeting, as he had an engagement
with parties interested in
the new road for tonight. Tomorrow
Mr. Jackson will meet citizens of
