ANOTHER KILING.
One Colored Man Kills Another Over
in the Fork.
The hot supper continues to get in
its deadly work. On last Saturday
night over in the Fork of the E Uisto,
Lewis Curry shot and killed Earnest
Fael, both parties being colored. The
killing took place at the house of
Curry, who lives on Mr. H. S. SpIres
place near Norway. According-to the
story of Curry there was a gathering
on Satutday night of several colored
people at his house.
Early in the evenir g Fuel and anoth
er man got into a row about a debt of
ten cents, arnd was about to resort tc
'lows to settle the trouble between
them. Carry ran In the house and got
a single barrel gun and got in between
Fuel and the negro to preserve the
peace and dignity of his home. A t
this juncture of :f thirs, Curry claim.
that some one shoved him', and as be
fell his guu was discharged shooting
Fuel in the breast.
As soon as the shooting to k place
every body ran away from Curry's
house leaving Fuel where he fell when
shot. After waiting until two o'clock
Sunday morning, Curry went to Mr.
Spires' horse, and af ter waking up
that gentleman, told him of the
shooting as above described. When he
called Mr. Spires Curry ciaims that he
did i'ot know how badly Fuel was
hurt. He reouested Mr. Spires to gco
with him to nis house which that
gentleman did.
When they reached the house they
found Fut-1 dead having been shot

Curry claims that the shooting was
altogether accidental, but the cauzt
will have to decide the matter when

THE DISPENSARY.
A Bill Will Be Passed by the
Legislature to
CUT OUT ALL GRAFT.
Senator Tiilnan Says ie Expects Brice
Law to be Repealed New Year
and That the Dispensary
Will Return to the Favor
of the People.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charleston Past says it has been
learned there that Senator Tillman
had several important conferences
when In Columbia with the support
ers of the dispensary in the Legisla
ture .and that when he left them it
was with a mighty good understand
ing that a bill will be agreed upon by
the dispensary people and pushed at
the present session. The bill will seek
to remedy defects of the existing law,
the especial object being to placa the
leading cfficers of the institution be.
yond the temptation of corruption.
Your corres, oni nt is in i osition to
state that the main features of the
proposed bill will be these:
First-The purchase of rye, corn
and bcurbon under yearly contract,
oids to be advertised for an opened
during the sessions of theL -gislature,
the State to buy everything from the
lowest bidder.
Secend-No bid will be r. c -ived from
any firm that has not put up with the
treasurer of the State a certiaed check
for a large sum as an evidence of good
faith. The firm receiv ng the bid to
be rt quired to put up wita the State
treasurer 5 per cent of the gross sales
of the State dIspensary for the pre -
vious year. Tis will be a guarantee
of faithful and. honest p..rformarca of
contract.
Third-The State to get the whis
key direct from the bonded warehous
es of the government; before there has
been mixicg or blending and when the
oroduct is as pure as the government
can guarantee It.
Fourth-Tbe State to do its own
blending and mixing, thereby guaran
teeing an ab-oh1 telv pure article, there
being no cznoae for doctoring, unless
the cAllials of the State do so them
selves, which wouli be made Iuish
able by a heavy sentence.
F fth-Every bid, and Senator Till
-nan is understood to regard -this is
shout the most imp3rtant feature, to
oe submitttd in triplfcate, one bid to
the Governor, another to the Speaker
of the House and a third to the treas
erer; -these offlcials to hold the bids
until the day of their opening, when
all are to be presented at once. I - the
opinion of Senator Tillman, this would
.ibsolutely prevent collusion and the
altering ;f bids, as the law would pro
vide tnat all bids received should re
main sealed until opened at a certain
time and in a certain (iflice.
Sez ator: Tilltman believes that the
only way c liusion would be possible
would be for the dispensary cotlials to
connive with the bidders to delver a
poorer grade of proof whisker, but
tbis could be av ided beciuse the spe
clficanions wculd cal for goods of a cer
tain proof, direct from the government
bonded warehouses and the proof of
whiskey is easily ascertained. Still
another importanit feature will be
c'hangirg the personnel of the State
board of controi so as to give the peo
Die of tbe State confidence in the
management. This is understood to
be now under consideration.
"In -my opinion, the people of the
State are overwhelmingly for the dis
pexisary,' said Senator Tillman, "even
in the cohnties where it has been vot
ed out. .Toe system is all right, but
the people are trjedbaf the bad odor
and want to see a' change in the law.
The aivocates of the dispensary will,
in my opinion, aimend the law at the
present .session s> as to prevent cor
ruption ad insure the sale of pure
whiskeyGh If the enemies of the law
prevent the Legislature doing any
thing in that direction they will have
to be accountable to the people. We
will see to that, but unless the Legis
lature attempts to do something, there
is grave danger of the death of the
Law.- I am sure, though, that the
friends of the dispensary will make
every Liff srt at this sessIon of the Leg
islature to purify conditions and to
again tstablish the system In the con
fidence of the people. If they fall it
will be because the enemies of the law
uonite against them.
"No, there is no danger of the law
being knocked out at this sessions, as
I see It. The Legislature knows the
people prefer the law to anything else
and will not knife It. Then when we
go before the people this summer and
put out candidates for Senate and
members of the Hiouse we will line up
things so as to show the hands of
everybody. Taere will be :nuch dif
ference then, and this vote that has
been remaining at home will show up
for the dispensary."
Senator Tiliman expressed the opin
ion that if c~uaties that have rccmnt
ly voted out the dispensary under the
Brice law should elect Senators and
representatives this summer commit
ted to the dispensary those elected on
the dispensary platfcrm would have a
perfect right to put the dispensary
back in the counties that are now en
j ying blind tigers in large doses.
Senator Tillman believes the Brice
law will be repealed when the Legisla
ture elected this summner meets next
January.
Showdown onl Rural.
Postmaster General Cortleyou in
his report outlines a policy of strick
ter adher nce to the legal regulation
of rural mail routes. Most Important
to rural route patrons is his intention
to "discontinue without delay any
route where it is found on Inspection
that because of a lack of appreciation
of the service the experditure involv
ed is unwarranted," and the an
nouncement that where patronage Is
insumeiient to warrant a droly delivery
substitution will be made of a every
other- day service. N~ot every route is
appreciative and two many patrons
look upon the service as something to
which: they have the same general
right as they have to receive mail at
a postolmis. The 814,0 000 .deficit
has brought the government* to the
conclusion that there is little sense in

CH ICAGO HORROR.
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN AS
SAULTED AND KILLED
By a Brute In the Form of a Man
in the Early Evening.
One of the most heartless crimes
that has shocked this country in
many years cocurred in Chicago about
two weeks ago. Mrs. Bessie Hollister
30 years old, the wife of Franklin
C. Hollister, one of the printing firm
of Holiister Brcthers. one of the lar
gest corcarns of its kinds in the city
was murdered by Richard Ivens, 24
years old, who had attempted to as
sault her. The body of Mrs. Hollister
was found lying on a pile of staole re
fuse, in the rear of the Ivens resi
dence, at 368 Belden avenue. Around
the neck was twisted a tine copper
wire. Death had been caused by
strangulation. Ivens who had pre
tended to find the body and had repor
ted the fact of the murder to the po
lice confessed to the crime a short
time after he had been taken into
custody.
His statement to the police, in effect
was that he was at work-in his car
penter shop, which stands but a short
distanee from the place where the
bcdy was fcund Tuesday morning
and that when Mrs. Hollister passed
by he attacked her and when she re
sisted be dragged her into the car
penter shop and killed her by twisting
the wire aro-cd her neck. He then
went home and remained there all
nig1t. Tuesday morning he went to
the barn obtensibly to verform
some work. and pretending to find the
body rushed into the house and repor
ted to his father, and later to the pc
lice that the bcdy of a woman was
lying on the heap of refuse near the
barn.
Ivens in his confession claimed that
he was drunk at the time of the crime
but this is denied by his own mother
who says that he came into the. house
and ate his supper while perfectly so
ber. At the corclusion of the c roners
irquest which was held late in the
day, a verdict was returned holding
Ivens to the Criminal Court without
bail. During the inqest Ivens re
mained st 1l and apparently showed
no inte- ast in the proceedings.
When he was called, upon by the
coroner to testify i.,hls unconcerned
maider and defiant tone caused great
indignation among the men in the
room, and after the inquest was over
W. C. Hollister, brother-in law of law
of the murdered woman, made an ef
fort to shoot him. Hollister was mak.
ing his way toward Ivens, revolver in
hand, when an officer caught sight of
the weap-n and grabbed Hollister.
Other p. liceman came to the officers
aid and Hollister was compelled to
leave the place.
judging from the appearance of her
clothing Mrs. Hollister had made a
desperate fight before she was killed.
Her long hair was tangled as if it had
teen pulled violently down; the front
of her silk waist had been torn open
and the glove of her right hand was
missing. Tnree rings, which sue usa
ually wore on this hand were gone.
Other small articles c f jewelry, which
she had worn at the time of leaving
the house had been taken. Mrs Hol
lister was a woman of great personal
charm. For years she had been noted
as the possessor of a voice of extraor
dinary beauty.
The M~ora' Law.
Andrew Hamcilton, the life insurance
lobbyist, declares that of the S800,000
expended by him In his lobby wor k,
not one dollar was expended con
trary to the moral law. It is fortu
nate far the country that the Hamil
ton idea of morals does not generally
prevail. The idea that the use of
money to debauch legislatures and
corrupt judges is not contrary to mor
als would, if generally accepted, make
government a farce and reduce the
people to abject slavery. There was
a time when many thoughtful men
believed that the Hamilton code of
morals poevailed generally, but re
cent developments prove that, af
all a majority of the people are hon
et a-nd will insist that public busi
ness be honestly cared for. It requir
ed a long time, and multiplied perse
cutions, to arouse the people to a
realizing sense o-f the fact that the
Hamilton cade of morals preyailed
in high financial circles, but when
.they were finally aroused they took
speedy action with the result that a
great many men who had long posed
as statesmen. patriots and "defenders
of national honor" were exposed to
public contempt. The Hamilton code
f morals will be ably defended by the
Amalgamated Association of Porch
Climbers, the Burglar's Benevolent
and Protective Asscciation, the
Sandbaggers" Mutual Association,
and kindred organizaitions. But it will
be scored by men who believe in the
moral code handed down upon Sinia
and who are trying to live upright
and pulre lives.
Cotton and Atalf.
The Macon Telegraph says the
South Carolina cotton growers, hay
ing adopted a resolution for a re
duction of acreage by 25 per - aent.,
except on 10 acre farms,. it Is rec-n
mended that ohe farmers adopt alfal
fa as a substitute crop. Last year it
is recalled that the agricultural socle
ty of South Carol~rna supplied a num
ber of planters with seed and offered
a series of prizes to those who would
engage In the cultivation. The exper
iments in not less than 25 ~Instances
have proved successful. It was shown
in one case that 50,000 pounds of al
falfa could be grown upon a tract
which by previous test, would pro
duce only 10,000 pounds of ordina~ry
h;'. If the farmers of the State gen
eraly shall j in In devoting the extra
land to this forage, the benefit would
be IL calculable. The saving of the
expense of Importing Western hiy
would be very large. it has always
appeared inexplicsble that the
S.uthern farmer who can raise hay
should consent to buy It from Mis
souri, Ka~nsas or other States. Along
with raising of hay cones the en
largemnt of the cattle Industry in
its many forms, the improvement of
the breeds of all manner of stock and
resultant protts to the growers.

work which we have inaugurated. ano
in which we beg your cordial help and
co-operation.
It has long been a scurce of rearet
and mortideation that South Carolica
has no representative in the national
statuary hall of the capitol itt Wah
ing. This statuary hail was the old
hall of representatives; it was t'ie
scene of the debates of Webster, and
Clay, Adams, Calhoun and 'others
whose names are indelibly ass.clatcd
with the history of cingress
In 1864 at the suggestion of Sera
tor Morrel of Vermont, the room was
set aoart as a national statuiry hall
to which each state might send
te lffB;ies of two of her chosen sons
in marble or bror z z to be placed per
manently here." No South Carolin ain
ever views those stately statues, erec
ted by practically all the states rf the
Union in memory of their chosen sorf'
without wondering why our own
place has been . so long empty srd
wishing that we to could pAin 'with
pride to a representative 'ccupying
the spAc al:oted to Soitu Car
olina.
The Kings N*otihtain Chapter Is ds
sirous of starting a movement to rem
edy this long standing neglect. W
have written to every woman's organ
ization in the state asking them to
join us in petitioning the legisla'u-e
to appropriate at this present session
the sum of $25,0000 (twenty five
thousand donars) for the purpose of
erecti.!g a stature of John C. Caltua
in the national statuary ball in ru.Ae
capitol at Washington. We regard Cal
houn as South Carlina's most repre
sentative. man; he was forty years -the
most conspicuous and influential fig
ure in national politics he was repre
sentative senator,- secretary of war
secretary of state and vice-president.
We do hope that you will g.ve us
your support and help in th's work
We wish through;your paper, to ap
peal to every S)uth- Carolinian, men
and women, to honor this draf 6 upon
your patriotism, and beg them to re
spond to the efforts we are making to
have our bAloved state take her right
ful place in the halls of the nation.
We shall be exceedirgly obliged if
you will gife this letter a place in the
column of y6ur paper.
Very respectfully,
Mrs. Virgina Mason Brotton,

A Badge Of Shame.
The Lake County Herald, pub! h3
at Painesville, Oao, directs an cer,
letter-to Lake county's representativs
in the state legislature. it was report
ed that this representative had an
Dounced that he expected to receive a
railroad pass during his service, atd
wonld accept and use srci a pass. T:ne
Herald dirtets attention to the fact
that this member of the legislatu e is
presumed to act as the attorney i
the state 'legislature for the people ol
Lake county, and that he will be re
quired to vote on important railroad
tagislation. The Herald pleads with
this representative to re jact the pass,
and to stand as a free representau v;
of pubhc interests In commenting
on the above The Commoner says the
appeal is a gocd orne, and it Is hoped
It will be heeded. The free pass is one
of the great evils of the day, and no
public cifiial is In a position to dis
charge his duty to the people If he
places himself under obligations to
the corporations. *The battle against
the free pass is not a temporary strug
gle. Unless we are prepared to con
fess that popular government Is a
farce, that battle will not cease until
the pass has been abolished. In the
meantime let it be understood every
wheAe that a free - pass in the bands
of a public offcial is a badge of shame.

depot and within the corporate limits.

to have been inspired by no oter no

IS ENGLAND DEGENERATING?
Statistics Taken from the British
Army Confirm 'That View.
Arnold White has written as follows
in the London Chronicle of physical
degeneration in England: "The Ger-.
mans drink an enormous quantity of
beer, but there is no class in Germany
of drink-sodden, dirty and broken
mothers such as we produce by the
thousand. When Taine was shown the
seamy side of London he said that the
rush of the inhabitants of an east Lon
don slum into a wide street when at
tracted by the spectacle of an accident
was like a human sewer emptying it
self. Before the outbreak of the Afri
can war, of 11,000 men who wished to
enlist in Manchester, only a little over
1,000 could be sent into the army, The
Scotch highlanders and the Irish peas
antry are healthy, but English towns
men can no longer vie in war with the
Tyrolese and Bavarian mountaineers,
the inhabitants of east Prussia, the
French peasantry, the Montenegrins or
the hardy Russians.
"BriLain's soidiers -are born of moth
ers affected by the normal conditions
of town life, both moral and physical.
The average stay in hospital of soldiers
affected by one preventable disease is
32 days. Thus in one year we have a
total loss of 1,738,688 days' army serv
ice. Two hundred and three soldiers in
the British home army go sick out ot
every 1,000; In the French coascrlpt
army only 43 become invalids.
"In 1845 the standard of height for
admission to the army was five feet six
Inches; in 1883 it was five feet three
Inches, and in 1900 five feet. There is
a progressive decline In the average
weight. . As the British army is ten
times more unhealthy than the Ger
man, It loses three times as many by
death."
Customs In China.
China, as seen with our eyes, is gro
tesmue. She is the antipodes of all the
rest of the world. She seems the up-.
side down of everything. "The needle
in her compass points to the south,
she says west north instead of north
west.
She enjoys her fireworks in the day
time; her ladies use wheelbarrows
when they are making calls; theydrive
cows instead of horses; the necks of.
their prisoners are put in the stocks;
their surname comes first, as Roosevelt
Theodore; - they mount their horses
from the right side; the old men fly.
kites, while the small boys sit demure
ly and watch them; they keep on their
hats as a sign of respect; their crm
son visiting cards must be a burden to -
them if they do much calling, as they
are four feet long and about two wide;
their boats are drawn by men, their
carriages by sails; they never drink
milk and their mourning color is white
or pale blue.
Their young women, no matter how
beautiful they may be, aecording to
Chinese ideas, are slaves, while the old.
mother of grown sons and the wrinkled'
grardmothers are queens, and the most
respected and beloved members. of the
household. Even the emperor's moth
er ranks higher than he does. When ag
son is fortunate enough to receive an
honorable decoration, he brings it to
his mother, who wears It for him.

Owls Electrocuted.
The temporary suspension of work
at the mine and mill of the Granite.

caused by an owl becoming entangled
in thle wires, recalls the fact that since
the transmission line was put in com
mission, nearly four years ago, 25 owls
have been electrocuted. by coming In

vember of last year 12 fine slmna.
of 'the owl family have gone to owl

-Goats as Pilots.
In Switzerland and other mountain
ous countries goats lead long strings of
animals daily to and from the moun
tains, but It Is in South Africa that the
goat is regularly kept and employed as
a leader of sheep. Should a blinding
storm of rain or hail drive the sheep
before It, or cause them to huddle to
.gether in a corner, so that there Is a
danger of their suffocating each other,
the trained goat will wake them up,
and, by a method of his own, induce
them to follow him to a place of safety.,
The Money-Mad Poor.
It Is a great mistake to suppose that
every rich man is money mad, for
many rich men are money sick, and it -
is a still .greater mistake to suppose
that the only money mad people In the.
world'are rich people. A man who Is
1poo" but bent on becoming rich is much
I moe likely to be money mad than a
man who has an independent fortune,
only he shows It in a different way. A
man of large fortune who Is amohey
mad shows it by his continued activity
in money making. The poor man who
is money' mad shows It by envying and
hating those who are more successiuL
