HOUSEAL IS | PLACED ON THE BOARD i I OF THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF THE STATE. State Offices Will Not Go iJegrsring? State Fair Near?Friendless Negro Paroled. * Special to The Herald and News Columbia, Oct. 6.?Dr. W. G. Houz-seal, of Newberry, has been appointed by Governor Blease a member of the board of trustees of the Medical college of the State of South Carolina. to succeed Hon. Henry P. Williams, - ot Charleston. wno nas resigiieu. nu. Williams at the time of his election on the board of trustees was one, of the harbor commissioners of the port of -Charleston. Upon investigation, he 1 found that he could not legally hold r both positions, and that by accepting the position on the medical collegt board he vacated his position as har- j bor commissioner. On account of the ? ?nf.?Hinor frftm !V> i-C CI YtPPTl iiisSUCieti-HJUB icsuiuug nvm ???? years service as harbor commissioner, he preferred to retain that position, and resigned from the board of trustees and was relppointed harbor commissioner by Governor Blease. The board of trustees of the State \ Medical college are elected by the . general assembly, but the governor ft lias the power to fill a vacancy until the general assembly meets. Dr. Houseal is one of the leading ! physicians in South Carolina, and his j business qualifications, combined with I <his professional ability, will make j him a peculiarly valuable member of i the board of trustees. He is the personal physician of the governor in Newberry, and came to Columbia with Governor Blease when he was first in augurated, the governor, on account ? of a spell of sickness, needing the at- j tention of a physician at that time. The medical college on October 1 began its first session^ as a State in- j stitution. - Friendless >'egro Paroled. Governor Blease late Saturday af- j ternoon paroled a negro who first at-1 tracted the governor's attention some J time ago by his faithful work and .'his ! unfailing politeness and obedience oj j i the xState House grounds. The gover- j * nor looked into the negro's case and j found that he had been sent up from j Georgetown county nearly ten years ago tor life for breaking inio a negro's house and stealing five dollars in money and some clothes?the total value of /the property stolen being about twelve dollars, the cha'rge being t burglary and larceny. Josh Gads' <ie.., the negro, had no money to employ a lawyer to seek a pardon, and L no friend -had enough interest in him Y to bring his .case to the attention of t me chief executive. He is suffering from Bright's disease, which of course is aggravated by confinement and lack of proper diet. After looking into the case thoroughly, the governor decided | that, under all the circumstances, the negro had been amply punished, and he was paroled during 'his good beI havior. The Governor Away For Few Days. The governor left the city for a few days on Saturday afternoon, on offi- l cial business. He was accompanied ( by his stenographer, Mr. W. Frank j Blackburn.

The prospective candidates for State offices usually attempt to get a line on affairs m political at this time, and this year f will probably be no exception to the -rule. A State prohibition mass meet- . ing has been called to be held here on October 28, with the avowed purpose : of organizing a "Democratic Prohibi- ! tion Party." All of the numerous announced candidates for governor still seem to I be actively iu the race. Candidates for State Offices. The News and Courier of Sunday morning carried the announcement I that Adjutant General Moore would be a candidate for a third term, and that uapi. j. tfrosi waiKer, jr., mem- j ber of the legislature from Union was j spoken of. Assistant Adjutant Gen- j f eral Babb -has been urged by his ' -friends for the position of adjutant ^general, but has made no announce cnent so far. It is not known what ^ftffect the candidacy of General Moore 1 j^Kor a third term would have upon , anv intention which the assistant ad- j jutant general might have had of en- ! tering the race. Former Clerk of Court Jno. F. Bolt, ! ofN Laurens, when in Columbia some ; lime ago, stated that he was going ' i to be a candidate for railroad commissioner. Hon. C. D. Fortner, of Woodruff. member of the legislature fro.11 Spartanburg, says he is going to make the race for railroad commissioner, our) ca\-o that hp is to make ! somebody sit up and take notice. I Hon. B. Frank Kelly, of Bisaopville, announced some time ago that he was going to make the race for lieutenant governor. Former Auditor .James H. .Craig. of Anderson, has been promil nently mentioned as a probable candidate against Comptroller General A. jw. Jones. Altogether, there promises to be no ~ I , lack of candidates fior the various . j State offices. : The race for State offices, however, j I .-ill no doubc be somewhat overshad- ] owed next summer by the race for ! ! the United States senate, with Gover- j nor Blease a candidate for the seat! now held by Senator Ed.

ZACHRY IS SEEKING FOR RECONCILIATION Making Efforts to Get His Wife to Return to Shelter of His Roof. j Augusta, Ga., Oct. 5.?It developed yesterday that Judge H. C. Hammond has been withholding -his decision in the Zachry case, presumably at the request of Julian J. Zachry. pending a" reconciliation, between the parents of tb? two little girls, Frances and Mildred Zachry, which, however, Mrs. Zachry today declared to be hopeless and impossible. "I will, never consent to a reconciliation) wdth Mr. Zachry under any circumstances in life unless that should be absolutely the last and only chance I should ever have of seeing my children again," Mrs. Zachry determinedly declared. She refused to attend a conference between Judge Hammond and Juliam J. Zachry at Judge Hammond's home this morning, and both: she and her attorney, C. E. Dunbar, declare, unreservedly that she has not requested a delay in the decision. Her attorney declares that the ru- i mors which have been circulated that Mr. and Mrs. Zachry will live together agaim are maliciously intend- . ed to injure her case, and that Zachry is seeking a reconciliation merely "for getting her and the children and killing the grounds of her right in the case/' "Only after I have appealed to the supreme court again and every other court in my fight for my little girls and have been turned down by the-n all, will I ever consent to go back as Julian Zachry's wife," Mrs. Zaehry affirmed.

Washington, Oct. 4.?(Stati::g that when he came to the sena e 18 years ago he was looked upon as an ultraradical and semi-anarchist and that the plutocratic press has never ceased to hold the prejudice they then had against him, though some have become more liberal and generous,. Senator Tillman today secured consent of the senate to publish in The Rec- i ord and to have printed as a public document an article he prepared at; that time giving his impressions and i beliefs about Wall street a.id tne money power. I "I am asking for its publication,'' Senator Tillman said, "because so much that was mere surmise and prophecy then has come true, and I feel it. very appropriate for me to reproduce it. I shall incorporate in it, if I the senate will permit me, statistics and facts to make the picture a pho-. tograph of present conditions, to be j I fnmnarfif] with conditions which ex- | isted in 1896?something on the order j of 'before and after taking' or Till- | man on conditions in 1896 and those conditions now brought down?to date. | My retrospect is only for 18 years. "When I came to the senate 18 years ago I was looked upon as an ultra-radical and semi-anarchist, and the plutocratic press have never ceased to hold the prejudice they then imbibed against me, though of recent years they have become more liberal and some of them even generous, in their comments about my personal , characteristics. ^ j "One point that will strike every-1 body?and it is a most important or.e e i ?is that the income tax which the supreme court then declared unconstitutional -has just been enacted into '* * ?? "U ? tri trs .or iiaw, xne oonsutuuou amended so as to make it legal for congress to do it. A Great Howl. "We have had a great howl in the j senate about the inequality and injustice of the income tax. Some East- j or,- cormtnrc have lamented the wrong done to their constituents, the well groomed and well fed millionaires, who will have to contribute to the expenses of running t>N? government because of this tax. They have spoken ''about the injury done their 'people' ?'my people' collectively?seemingly unconscious of the fact, which is very patent to any one, that while the well-to-do in New England and the Middle West will bear most of the burden of the income tax, these very men have been robbing their fellow citizens, the working men, and keeping them poor. These rich men have systematically milked the poor man's cow in the East just as constantly as they have milked the farmer's cow in the West and South, but they have been shrewd enough to make, him be lieve the contrary, iney -oiivt: aypealed to the proper classes to vote with them to keep the democrats out of "power, and have succeeded until the last election. I "I do not believe that these poor I men can be bamboozled^ into voting against -our democratic president and his policies by any such claptrap or illogical appeals. The time is coming very rapidly when the poor men everywhere will line up at the ballot box against wrong and ^oppression without regard to party, and a demand for laws which will secure < oniiflliiv i equality 01 opportunity ? , of burden will be made in thunder tones.

"The 'silver craze,' as it was called ; in derision, -has quieted down. The 1 'goldbugs' promised all sorts of bless- j ings to the country If the gold standard was maintained. But somehow the high cost of living continues to climb and the poor people are getting more and more restless. Some of them are almost desperate, and hope less of any relief. "I do not know myself what is ftTorg with the world, but I do know this: The unrest is growing daily and socialists multiplying apace, and ccn- 1 s gress should set itself honestly and earnestly to the task of righting things and furnishing relief. Charles Fra.cis Adams' address win tnrow a great flood of light from the viewpoint of that distinguished publicist and patriot now verging on 80. The essential parts of the democratic platform of 1S96 are going to be enacted into law sooner or later. "The people have chosen a wise and patriotic leader, who will neither betray or sell them out. Woodrow Wii?n is 'makinz srood' everv day of ibis life and will go down in American history as one of the greatest of our presidents.

The cost of all kinds of meat is in crea'sing from year to year. The chief reason for this is that meat production is not keeping pace with the demand,? from an increase in population,?in fact, the beef supply in this country is less than a year ago. The South consumes a great deal of meat,?and this same section produces a mighty sma11 per cent, of the j L -1- ~ ~ fAUri tvor ATI - I amount it cuusumcs, icijuu^ pensive. products shipped in from the North and West. If all our farmers would raise enough hogs, etc., to supply their own meat, it would insure a more prosperous condition throughout the South, since thousands of dollars leave eac-h- county of the South annually for these J ho nrnHiifoH <5n TPfld PX*OU U(J L?5 Uii& L v_/axx uc A VU U V V V* V V ? ?- v* ily at home. The greatest economy in! meat production is obtained through the use of suitable grazing crops as a supplement to grain feeding. * .No one should attempt to raise live stock without first carefully planning I for the necessary forage crops. It is possible to have grazing crops throughout the year. The following crops are recommend- j ed for hog grazing.

Having Completed His Tariff Bill Work, Democratic Leader Would Rise. Washington, Oct. 4?Representatice Oscar Underwood, majority leader in the house, late today issued a formal statement announcing his candidacy for the United States senate from ! Alabama to succeed the late Joseph. ( I Johnston. ! Representative Underwood's state' ment follows: "Fnr the best Dart of 10 terms I have served the people on the Ninth -Alabama district in the congress of the United States.

Mr. Underwood will enter the democratic primaries in Alabama next spring with several other prominent Alabama democrats, including Repre sentatives Henry D. Clayton and Richi mond. Pearson Hobson.
