Ga.. was Friday found In a corn field near Bath. with a wound in his left side. evidentli inflicted with a pocket knife. The man had been dead at least two days. It Is thought that the body was found by some negroes in passing. The body was drawn up and showed evi dences of the deceased having under gone excruciating pain before death. Coroner Johnson was not in the city at the time of the fnding of the body, having gone to hold an inquest over the body of a negro laborer who was killed near Sand Bar ferry on the Savannah river by the caving in of said and the inquest has not yet been held.

The Columbia Record says aum- I berg of physicians from all parts of the State are beginning to take ad antage of the recently-opened state acteriological laboratory. Dr. F. A. Coward, the physician in charge.j s kept busy making examinations.: wo hundred and fifty specimens of| putum, blood and fetal matter have been examined since the first of July. 1 Two suspected cases of rabiesj are now undergoing treatment, and| two patients have been but recently dismssed. Six animals have been j xamined for rabies. On some daysi Dr. Coward makes as many as 16: acteriological examinations, which s a hard day's work for one man. The latest addition to the labora tory apparatus is a cool biological nubator, which lowers the temper ature to 20 degrees Centrigrade. It s used in making gelatin. cultures f germs. Gelatine makes a splendid culture medium for germs, but, on account of the fact that it melts at a low temperature. it must be kept| very cold. The germs thrive as well at a low temperature as they do at a igher. The cold makes no differ ence to them. FAMILY FOUND STARVING n the Great Cky of Chicago i Midst of Plenty.

A diL'patch from Columbia to 'The Charleston Evening. Post says It is entirely agreeable to have Oolam bia and Augusta swap days for en tertaning Mr. Taft, so as to bring him here on the closing day of the~ Carolina fair and in Augusta on the opening day of the fair there. This is the result of a conference between Chamber of Commerce and Fair So cety representatives. Mayor Reamer wrote Secretary Carpenter along this line. If the change is made Mr. Taft will come to Coumbia from Charleston on Saturday morning early and go to IAugusta on Saturday afternoon and TALKS HARD SENSE SENATOR TILLMIAN SHOWS UP TAFTS DESIGN ON US. Says He Is Trying to Debauch the People of the South With Fair Promise. and Offices. Senator Tillman spoke to nearly three thousand people at Fountain Inn, Greenville county, on last Thursday. His audience was com posed largely of farmers, and gave the Senator close attention and fre quent applause. He seems to be in 2ine health and spoke with his old time eloquence and power. He cap tured the crowd, as he usually does. with his hard sense ard out-spoken utterances. The Senator discussed compulsory education and other live topic, or, as he put it after arriving at Green ville, "took a kind of general sub ect." and said just what he felt like saying. Among other things Senator Till man expressed his opinion on the re ult of the recent dispensary elec ion throughout the State and said hat he was glad to see that the tate was going "dry" and hoped hat the remaining counties which ow are wet would soon vote out he dispensary. The State and ews and Courier had educated the )ople of the State to such a height, te said, that they are now ready to rote the dispensary out in nearly ll the counties. "Let all drink water out of the ame gourd." said Seator Tillman 'or whiskey out of the same bot le," and he added, laughingly, "It loesn't matter which." In speaking of the relations of "resident Taft with Souxthe-rn p le, Senator Tillman said that Pres dent Taft was trying to debauch the eople of the South with fair prom see and offces. He read over to he gathering the Republican par y's platform or planks of It, and aid that Taft's purpose was to se uce enough white men in the South a organize a respectable Republi an party. bringing the negroes in s a balance of power. Missouri and Kentucky were al 'eady in the doubtful column and Vest Virginia was gone. All that ras necessary to mcnopolize the ne -ro in South Carolina was to Lave enough white men bought off nd to register the negroes that are apable of being registered. "There ore," Senator Tillman said, "any hing slong *,e line of increasing he nunb-r of negroes who can read Lnd write and who could, there ore, be eligible to register was the .eight of folly In his judgment." If the white children eould be et to school by a compulsory law rithout the colored children going LISO, Tillman said, he2 would favor uch an enactment. but the 15th mendment expressly prohibits any :itizen on account of race, color, tc. The negroes would benefit by he compulsory law and the white aan would have to pay the taxes or the negro's education. Senator Tillman arrived In Green 'ille I nthe afternoon and went im ediately to the house of his niece. irs. Rasor, on Buncombe street, here he spent the night. He left arly the following morning for tchland, In the neighborhood of neca, whez'e he attended a big baa set picnic and made an address to he gathering there. LUNATIC KTETA HIMSELF.
