Calhoun County Election So Declared
by Election Commission.
J GO TO STATE BOARD.
* The Board of Election Commissioners
of Orangeburg County Ununi
mouNljr Declare Recent Election
to Establish Calhoon County Null
and Void, Because Many Qualified
Electors Were Not Allowed to
Vote.
The Board of Election Commls*
sloners for County and State elections
of Orangeburg County declared
the late election to establish
Calhoun County null and void on
last Thursday. The board, which
Is compoijpd of Messrs. John S.
Bowman, W. Brooks Fogle and T. J.
Hart, all good and true men, was
unanimous In their decision.
The hearing of the case consumed
all of Tuesday and Wednesday, and
much testimony was taken. The
commissioners took tho case Wednesday
night about 8 o'clock, after
all the witnesses had been examined
and carefully went over the testimony
and the many legal points In
volved before arriving at their decision,
which was announced at two
o'clock Thursday.
The members of the Board ol
Commissioners are among our best
people. Mr. Bowman Is a member
of the Orangeburg Bar and both
Messrs. Fogle and Hart are well-todo
farmers. Mr. Hart lives in the
lower section of the county near the
Berkely line and Mr. Fogle lives In
the proposed territory of CalhoQn
County and Is said to favor the new
county.
The following is the full text of
the decision of the Board of Commissioners,
which Is signed by every
member of the Board of Commissioners.
It has been filed with the
Clerk of Court who will forward It
lmmedlatelv to finvumnr AheoI
"We find some Irregularities In
several boxes, such as voting outside
of right precincts, not demand
ing proper proof of payment of
taxes, etc., but we find that there
are not enough of such irregularities
to change the result of this election.
"We further find that about G5
or more qualified electors residing
within the area of the proposed new
County of Calhoun, including portions
of Orange, Goodbys and Poplar
townships, were deprived of the
constitutional right to vote in this
election, as the said electors are residents
of the proposed new county,
while their voting places are without;
and the Act of the Legislature
relating to the formation of new
counties does not provide the means
or the opportunity to vote in such
cases.
"We, therefore, find that in depriving
these qualified voters of the
right to vote the constitutional pro
vision has been violated, and on this
ground we do hereby declare this
election null and void."
All questions of fact were decided
in favor of the new county, the one
point upon which the election was
declared null and void being the
dlsfranchlsment of voters within the
new county lines whose precincts
were outside, thereby depriving them
of xercislng their right of suffrage.
Chairman Bowman stated that the
board was of the opinion that the
Act passed by the Legislature governing
the formation of new counties
was unsconstltutional in that it
made no provision for those electors
who were seperated from their pro
clncts to cast their ballots on questions
in which they were directly in
leruaieu, uu Kuttrumt'eu uiiuvr iuu
law.
It will l>e noticed that the Board
of Commissioners sustains the contention
of the Orangeburg Times and
Democrat that no white Democrat,
whether for or against the new
county, should be deprived of his
right to vote on a matter that so
vitally concerns him. The Times and
Democrat has made a gallant fight
for these disfranchised Democrats
mentioned by the Board of Commissioners,
and it naturally feels elated
on being sustained by the intelligent
gentlemen composing it.
An appeal will be taken to the
State Board of Elections by the promoters
of the new county. However
that Board may decide the matter,
It will be taken to the State Supreme
Court and possibly to the United
States Supreme Court, as both sides
are determined to have the matter
settled once for all whether a man
can be deprived of his right to vote
by an unconstitutional law passed bj
the Legislature.
When he learned of the decision
of the Board of Commissioners Mr.
Welch, attorney for the new county
promoters, stated that the only sur
prise was that the decisiou was unanimous,
the new county promoters
v expecting to have at least one vote.
He also said that a different story
would be heard after the State
board reviewed the case.
Col. D. O. Herbert and W. C. Wolfe
Esq., who has fought man* for
the disfranchised Democrats are
gratified that the county board has
sustained their contention, which
was principally based on the point
which was cited by the board as
their reason for declaring the election
null and void.

PLUNGES TO DEATH.
Rich Inventor In New York Fells
Seven Stories.
He Was Manufacturer of Moving
Picture Machines and Was Prosperous.
Henry Miles, wealthy manufacturer
of moving picture apparatus,
in New York Thursday night met
instant death when he plunged
down seven stories to the rear of
the Concord Hall Apartments, at the
Northeast corner of One Hundred
and Nineteenth street and Riverside
Drive.
Miles lived with his brother, Herbert,
on the seventh floor. It is
said that for several years he has
suffered severely from Insomnia,
but it Is not known whether this affected
his mind sufficiently to cause
him to commit suicide.
The man's brother said last uight
that Henry had also suffered from
epileptic fits, and that it was during
one of theso that he in some manner
plunged over the sill of the rear
window of the apartments, and landed
in the court below.
Miles was forty years old and unmarried.
His fall was not witnessed
by any one except his brother.
The body went straight down and
landed on the head, which crushed
instantly. Death was instantaneous.
A surgeon was called from J.
Hood Wright Hospital and after a
short examination said that there
was no need for a doctor. The police
were notified and ordered that
the body be kept in the court until
the Coroner took action.
In the room which the man occupied
it was found that for two
months he had been keeping a diary.
This little volume set forth, day by
day, and sometimes hour by hour,
the inventor's mental and physical
condition, the number of timeB he
hud suffered severely form the malady
and other facts in connection
with his daily life.
The" last entry in this diary was
marked down at 12.12 p. m? Wednesday.
t was at 10:30 according
to the brother, that he fell from the
window.
.None of the tenants were given
knowledge of the tragedy Wednesday
night, it being feared that many
might spend the remainder of the
evening elsewhere. But when the
police arrived and the ambulance
clanged up, some of them learned
of the affair. There was no panic
however.
MISS SHANNON STILL MISSING.
lieport That Pretty It rook land CJirl
* Had Married Untrue.
A dispatch from Columbia to The
News and Courier says Miss Sallie
Shannon, the pretty llrookland girl
who left home Sunday afternoon,
has not yet been located. The report
from Pomarla that Miss Shannon
had married in that town on
Tuesday turns out to have been a
hoax, and her parents are more than
ever worried about their daughter.
Miss Shannon left her home Sunday
evening week after having entertained
her sweetheart, Colt Summers.
They are said to have
parted in nnger, and the Inst
seen of Miss Shannon was when she
started across the Gervais street
bridge towards the city of Columbia.
The bridge keeper is positive that
she did not come across the bridge
that evening, and her friends fear
that she jumped into the river after
reaching the bridge.
The river is badly swollen by the
recent rains, and no search has
been made for her body. The tele
rsiuiii iiuiii i uiuui in it> uww muiiiilted
to have been a joke, and it in
denied that she has been in Potnaria
at all.
Miss Shannon is a pretty girl of
19 years and a popular teacher in
the Brookland Methodist Sunday
school. She is the daughter of Mr.
D. H. Shannon.
PROHIBITION REIGNS.
Judge Newman Refuses to Enjoin
Georgia Liquor Law.
A dispatch from Atlanta. Ga., says
the most notable feature of the first
day of prohibition in Georgia was
the refusal of Judge W. P. Newman,
in the United States Circuit court
to grant an injunction pending litigation
which would prevent the putting
into effect of the prohibition
law.
Papers in the case were filed late
Tuesday on behalf of the breweries.
Judge Newman simply filed a memorandum
reading as follows:
"After careful consideration an
injunction pendante lite will not be
granted. mis neing true it is unnecessary
to call ou the defendants
to show cause."
Under the law the defendants in
action against the prohibition bill
will have until March in which to
demur or tlx an answer. This
leaves the whole matter in abeyance
until that time.
In the meantime prohibition is in
effect in every district of Georgia.

The Spartanburg Herald of Wednesday
tells of the murderous as- fE
sault on Mr. Henderson, a merchant la
of that city, on Tuesday night of P(
last week . The Herald says a ne- 1)1
gro robber at the money drawer
and the proprietor lying on the \
floor of a back room In an uncon- tr
scious condition, with several c<
ir
hatchet wounds in the head was
w
what Mrs. Cora Lawrence saw when ja
she entered the store of Mr. B. F. tc
Henderson, on North Liberty street, a'
with her little son on the evening
0(
above mentioned. She spread the ^
alarm, but the robber made his es- t
cape. w
All that is known of the robbery e<
and assault is the story told by Mrs. ^
Lawrence. She went to the store w
about 8 o'clock to get Mr. Hender- s,
son to read a letter for her. She w
curried a small boy along with her. f'
To her surprise she found a negro
behind the counter. He had the
money drawer out and helping him- ?
self to the loose silver.
She asked the negro where Mr.
Henderson was. He replied that
he had stepped out and left him in "
charge till he came back. Mrs s
Lawrence then stated that she would '(
wait until he returned. The rob- a
ber replied that it was no use to e
do that, because it might be some ^
time before Mr Henderson returned.
Mrs. Lawrence heard some one a
struggling in the room to the rem a
of the store room. She looked 11
hack and saw Mr. Henderson lying .
on the floor. She said that sh<
wouia go uacK to mm. ana tnai an .1
the powers of heaven and earth
could not keep her from doing so.
As she passed Into the back room
the negro hastened out of the front jdoor.
She found Mr. Hendersoi ^
on the floor, writhing in his own a
blood, with several wounds In his ^
head and the hatchet lying near s
him. He was in an unconscious d
condition. She set up an alarm g
and it was not long before a crowd ti
gathered. y
Mrs. Lawrence says that she would ,j
know the negro if she saw him c
again. He was a tall fellow with
long mustache. He carried a tl
heavy stick which was hanging on g
his arm while ho was taking the ii
money from the drawer. One banc' a
trembled as if he were afflicted with tl
rheumatism. He was a stranger. II
Mr. Henderson keeps store on o
North Liberty street, near the over- y
head bridge. He lives alone in the d
rear of the store. He Is a man oi
about fifty years of age. It is not C
known how much money was In the o
drawer. a
The policeman went to work on tl
the case at once. A negro by the d
name of Wallace Williams, who fit- M
ted the discription of the robber ft
given by Mrs. Lawrence, was ar- T
rested and taken before her, but 9
she said that he was not the one,
and he was then released. Williams
is the negro who was tried foi
the murder of Doc Westfield, color- *
ed, several years ago and came
clear.
Mr. Henderson's skull is fraetured
in three places as a result of the n<
blows inflicted by the robber. The
hatchet with wh'ct th" work was c<
done was found beside him. It was jt]
covered with blood. A report from gj
the hospital at an early hour Thurs- 3,
day morning says that Mr. Henderson's
condition ia critical. jj.

A GREAT SPEECH.
Senator Tillman Opens the Eyes
of Many People.
He Discusses the Race Question in
u Calm, Dispassionate Maimer to
a LurKe Audience.
in accordance wiih previous announcement
Senator 13. R. Tillman
delivered an address on Wednesday
to a large audience of ladies and
gentlemen on the race problem.
The audience was comuosed larc??l\
of city people, the bad roads uo
doubt preventing mauy people from
the country coming in to hear the
distinguished speaker, as they would
have liked to do. The court house,
where the meet lug was held, was
comfortably filled, one-third of
the audienco being ladies.
Senator Tillman arrived in th<
city on the Atlantic Coast Line train
on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock
and was met by Capt. daffy, Shorifl
Dukes, Clerk of Court Salley, Hon.
I. W. Bowman and Mr. J. C. Itansdale,
of the committee appointed by
the ladies to receive and entertain
the senator while here Mr J. L.
Sims, of the committee, was unable
to meet the senator on account ol
sickness in his family. The committee
escorted the senator to the
beautiful country home of Mrs. J. \Y.
Stokes, a few miles from the city
where he was royally entertained
for the night. All the members ol
the committee and some of theii
wives were also guests of Mrs
Stokes, Tuesday evening, except Mr.
Sims, who, from the cause already
stated, was denied that pleasure.
This was not the first visit of the
senator to the hospitable home ol
Mrs. Stokes, as he and Mrs. Tillman
have been guests there before.
Mrs. Stokes drove the senator in on
Wednesday morning and he
! was taken to the St.
Joseph's Hotel by the committee,
where he remained until
time for the address. During the
short time he was at the hotel a
number of gentlemen called to pay
their respects A few minutes before
12 o'clock he left the hotel
and reached the court house just
about the time appointed for the
speech. He was warmly greeted on
the street, and in the court house by
old friends and admirers.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. D. D. Dantzler. Then
Hon. I. \V Bowman introduced Senator
Tillman in a very few words as
the greatest South Carolinian and
one of the foremost statesmen of the
times The senator, as he arose,
was greeted most enthusiastically on
all sides. He opened his address by
referring to his former visits to
Orangeburg, and said he felt somewhat
embarrassed this time because
a fee was charged to hear him. He
said this was done by the ladles afi
his suggestion as a means to help
along the grand cause they wero
wishing for, and that he was glad
to be able to contribute, by his
time and labor, to the establishfent
of a hospital where the
afflicted could be treated without
going to some other city.
Senator Tillfan then took up the
race problem and discussed it in a
calm and dispassionate nianne.'
There was no bitterness in his
speech towards the negro as a race,
but he painted out the greut danger
that confronted the South in the
years to come when the present
means used to curtail the negro voto
will no longer bo applicable. He
said it was a lementable fact that
more i:egro children were attending
school in South Carolina than white
children, and thnt it was a question
of time only when there would be
more negro voters in this State
than white voters, lie said that the
franters of the present constitution
went as far as they could in disfranchising
the negro without disfranchising
white men, which he said
would never do.
He thought the day would come,
unless present conditions weri
changed, when the whites would divide
and the negro would be
brought in by the two factions of
the white people to settle their political
disputes. He-referred to the
fact that no election on any question
could be settled now in this
State without the charge of fraud
being charged against one side 01
the other. He cited as an evidence
of what he roeaut by referring to
the frequent contests over Hisnen.,
nary elections and new county elections.
He said these contests between
white people encouraged the
negro to hope for political powei
some day, and he thought the white
people should stop it. and settle theii
troubles without so much quarreling
among themselves.
Senator Tillman paid a grand and
beautiful tribute to the womanhood
of the South, who, he said, would
keep the race pure, but he scored in
scatching terms white men who were
guilty of the great wrong to their
race of raising colored families, lb
said all such men were the worst
enemies the South had. and that
they should be made to leave the
South in broad, open daylight, nevei
to returu. As usual with the sen
ator, he did not inince his word:
when on this branch of his theme
but talked out plain and in unmistakable
language. He told of some
of his experiences in speaking to
Xortehrn people. He said the people
of the North were having their
eyes opened about the conditions at
the South and that they were will- |
ing for the South to settle the rac"
question if it was llmiuated from
politics.
He said the Northern people had
so few negroes among them tHot th?
race question did not jt>?v"* ' t'tcu (
as it did the people of the South.
He said the negro up North was

like one dead fly in a pan of milk,
which could bo swallowed by the
people of that section without much
inconvenience, but in the South the
conditions were reversed. Here, in '
said, we would have to swallow i
pan full of dead flies with hardl>
enough milk to cover them. This
happy illusion brought down the
house. Senator Tillman's speedwas
a splendid one all the way
through. He thought the solution
of the problem was in giving eaob ,
state the right to regulate the surfrage
question. The above is only
an imperfect synopsis of Senatoi
Tillman's speech, which would have
to be heard to be appreciated. It
was a great speech, and was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who heard it
He certainly converted his audience
to his way of thinking on the tremendous
race problem that wil
have to bo solved by the people ol
the South sooner or later.
Senator Tillman's reference in
his speech to new county disputet
was cheered to the echo by the ad
voc ites of Calhoun county who were
in the audience. While at dinnoi
Senator Tillman was told that tin
pri sent contest against Calhoun
county was brought by white men
who were not allowed to vote 01
the question, and he said if that
was the case the supreme cour<
