'* ?^ * 4 ^ GAME OF BLUF^ President Taft and the Republican Leaders FOOLING THE PEOPLE Meanwhile the Public Protests, and the President to Appease It Tries to Check the Clamor for a Time, But the Cost of Living Will Go Up When tlie Tariff Bill Passes. Zack McGhee, in his Washington letter to The State about sizes up the game of bluff now being played by President Taft and tho Republican leaders in their attempt to fool the people. Zack says Washington seems all expectant and excited about Mr. Taft's Ajaxing, and from mouth to mourn, ana irom n .tsuiagion paper to Washington paper. It is communicated that the tariff 1b to be revised downward in Bpite of appear_ ances, and that the people are to ' come into their own. Ajax cuts an impressive figure this morning and again this afternoon in the afternoon papers. And Mr. Aidrich is just going to be compelled to come uuder, they say. The press associations have been given to understand that Mr. Taft will just not put up with any foolishness about this thing, that he is committed to a revision dcwnwood and a revision downward there must be. But Senator Gore remarked the other day that the way for you to tell whether the promise has been kept is when you go to a store and find out if the price of your sugar, your cotton cloths, your gloves, your stockings, and the various other articles you buy are any cheaper than they were last year. Last year, and ever since the Dingley tariff law been been in force the articles you have been buying was exceedingly high. The people protested against the high prices caused by the Dingley tariff for many years, till at last the Republicans could withstand no longer the clamor and promises to revise the tariff and reduce the exhorbitant rates of bounty the people hav? been paying to the extortionate protected interests. If they had kept their promise, or if yet they keep it, if Mr. Taft compels them by this Ajaxlug of his to keep this promise made to the people in the last campaign, why then the prices will b? cheaper than they were last year. Members of congress aro getting by every mail prepared statements from merchants aA<l merchants' as soclations, showing how rates have been raised, and how, if the rates as fixed in both the house and the senate bills, which bills are now being harmonized in "conference," are enacted into law the people will have to pay higher prices for their articles of clothing, especially cotton and wollen cloths. Mr. Taft himself has been circularized and in various ways has been made to feel the weight of this showing up. Every dry goods merchant in this country almost is already an active agent for the Democratic party. The Importers In New York and elsewhere along the shore have been circularizing retailers all over the country, the merchants' associations and the various representatives of those concerns which have all to lose and nothing to gain by the raising of duties have been sending out letters and circulars to the men and concerns which they deal with in the small towns and the merchants of the whole country are studying the tariff as they have not studied it before. I was in a little town in the South the other day and to my great surprise I found a small dry goods merchant who bad never before been known to take any interest in national politics talking tariff, lie took me behind his counter and showed mo gloves that he sold for$2.2G, but which, if the proposed Payne rates on gloves go into effect, he would bo compelled to sell for $3. He showed me ladles' hose, which he was now selling for 2 5 cents a pair, the kind the greater number of women buy. and ho had figured out that it thn nrn?moA<t Dotrw/\ -? ? V?.w i'i V/ J/V/OV/U & M J IIO UUllCS UU stockings go Into offect he would have to sell those stockings for 35 or 40 cents. And he took me all about his store and showed me cotton and woolen goods of various kinds which would have to be raised In price. No It does not make any dlffererce whether a man is a Republican or a Democrat, if he is a dry goods merchant he is going to raise the price of his goods so sure as this bill goes through, as it seems now destined to do. Mr. Taft has been told this, And hft h?? Knon m a /I * ? ? ? c uniitn I . That's the reason he in Ajaxing bo marvelously. He hears a rumbling of the political earth In America and he munt bestir himself. Seeing how unpopular just at this time Mr. Aldrlch and Mr. Cannon are, who, by the way, are no worse and no better than their party, the president does not want to appear to be doing what these two unpopular party leaders want him to do. More than that, he wants to have the people believe that ho It is who is going to drive the two arch enemies of the people Into doing his bidding, and he is going to bid that the tariff come down. In other words, the president is making a desperate effort today to put a check to the tremendous and tremendously noisy public clamor against the Iniquities of the Payne Aldrlch measure. He may stop the clamor, for a while, but he can no more stop it permanently than he can stop Messrs. Payne and Aldrlch from doing what they have set out to do. And hear what Mr. Aldrlch said one tlay on the floor of the senate: "Sothing is going to deter me from doing my duty towards these manufacturer*." Zach McGhee. TWO LADS DROWNED CHESTER YOUTHS MEET DEATH IN BRUSHY CREEK. Little Known of the Pitifnl Tragedy | ma No Witness Was Near Except Possibly Another Small Boy. A special dispatch from Chester to The State says one of the saddest tragedies ever recorded in Chester County- was enacted in the waters of Brushy creek near Chalkville Monday afternoon when Jesse, aged 10 yearB. and John, aged 12 years, the two little sons of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. M. Chalk, were drowned. The two little fellows, accompanied by Perry Woods, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woods, left their home Monday afternoon at about 2 o'clock and strolled down to a lake on Brushy Fork creek in Mr. Mill's pasture. Py and by little Perry Woods returned alone; the afternoon wore away, and still the other two boys didn't come home. The parents naturally became alarmed, and the Woods boy was questioned as to where they were. No satisfactory Information could be obtained from him, however, and Messrs. Eli Wilks, J. B. Carter and others organized a party and proceeded to the swimming place to look for them, fears being had from the first that some accident had befallen them on the creek. Their clothes were found on the bank of the lake, which is about 150 feet long and several feet deep In places and the search began. All the party were good swimmers, and but little difficulty was experienced In finding the bodies and bringing them to the shore. The two boys were found only about four feet apart. One little body was rigid, while the other was not. When Messrs. Ell Wllks and J. B. Carter reached Chester In quest of coffins no statement had been obtained from Perry Woods as to the dotails of the tragedy. It Is supposed, though, that he was along when the two little Chalk boys were drowned. Neither of the victims could swim, and It Is likely that they ventured In heyond their depth and were engulfed In the water, which Is deep In places. MUST HAVE BEEN CRAZY. North Carolina Farmer Rescued Wife Just in Time. At Patetown, Wayne County. N. C., Sunday night James Bivens Instantly killed his brother, David, with a hoe. The slayer surrendered to the authorities at Goldsboro on Monday morning and following a preliminary examination was released on $2 00 bond for his appearance at the August term of court. The tragedy Is enshrouded in mystery. Bivens stated that he heard his wife screaming In his cotton field and running up was startled to see that she was being choked to death by his ii uiuci. nuci n-iiiiiu, ms oromer, James Divens carried his wife liome and by vigorous effort saved her life. The dead man's wife, a sister of Mrs. James Blvens, the only witness to the fratricide, testified at the hearing that the killing was justifiable. The motive for the dead man's attack on his sister-in-law is unknown. l'ELIiACKA IN CHICAGO. Discovered Among the Inmates of the Asylum. Pellagra, a mysterious plague, as fatal as leprosy and usually found only in Southeren States and tropical countries, has been discovered in the insane wards at the Dunning asylum at Chicago. Three aged women are now suffering from the malady and six other women have succumed to the disease within the past year. At the time of their deatli the Dunning physicians were mystified as to the nature of the ailments. A suspicion that pellagra was the affliction of the women was confirmed by Dr. C. H. Davinder. a surgeon of the United States public health and marine hos jm i ui Krrvite, wno ror me past two months has been making exhaustive study of the baffling disease at a laboratory at Columbia, S. C. Pushed from Window. Mrs. Mary Peek, who lived on the fifth floor of a house in West Fortyeighth street, New York, was either pushed or fell from a front window of her apartment to the street before daylight Tuesday morning, and at an hour later died in the Flower hospital. In an antemortem statement. Mrs. Peek said that Adam Hoffman, of Schnectady had been in her room with her, and declared that she had been pushed from the window. Paid Them to Hold. C. Sehussler and Sons, a mercantile firm of Lafayette, Ala., have sold to the local mills 1,650 bales of cotton which they have had stored in the Columbus warehouses since last fall. The cotton sold at 12 1-2 cents, th<? lot bringing over one hundred in->usana dollars. The Orni made at out thirty thousand dollars by hr Iding the cotton. Negro Kills Negro. A difficulty occurred in the New Cut section of Lancaster county het* een two negroes. Moody Thomas and Watt Watts, in which the former was fatally shot, dying of his wounds Monday afternoon. Watts is in Jail. The trouble was about a woman, it is said. Sixteen Miners Killed. The Are damp exploded in a coal mine at Mansfield, Russia, Tuesday. Sixteen are dead and many unconcious miners have been taken out. It Is not known at this time how many men are still in the mine. THE HOOK WORM | IS WIDESPREAD IN SEVERAL OP THE SOUTHERN STATES. Efforts Will Be Made to Eradicate . the Terrible Disease by the Medical Boards. A Washington dispatch says the hook worm, or the "lazy bug," as It has been shown to exist in the Southern States, according to the investigations of the physical condition of the army recruits, will form an Interesting chapter in the forthcoming report of the surgeon-general of the army and will probably lead to widespread ^ effort on the part of the boards of health in th Southern States to eradicate this disease, which a few years a ago was brought prominently to the 8 attention of the world in connection ' with the Porto Ricans. After being ^ treated all of the Infected soldiers gained In weight and Improved in ' nh votonl ?rv?/IUl?*?i ? ? ? ^ I/UJuiv,ui tuuuiLiuu geueritny. Following this investiigatlon of c the recruits, it was discovered that 8 "uncinariasis," as hook worm is call- 8 ed in the medical world, was a common disease thoroughout the South- 8 em States. It is estimated by the 1 army surgeons that 60 per cent, of * the recruits in the army today from c the rural districts of North Carolina, 8 South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, 1 Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana ( will show hook worm Infection. 1 The investigation has been pro- 1 grossing quietly during the last six or seven months, so that when ' Surgeon General Torney makes up his annual report he will have much 1 data to prove the pravalence of the 1 hook worm among the soldiers en- ' listed from the Southern States. 1 These recruits passing though the ' army depot at Fort Slocuin, N. Y., ' were examined to the number of 140, 1 109 of them being Infected with the parasite. West Virgln'a, North Car- 1 olina. South Carollua, Georgia, Flor- ' ida, Alabama and Tennessee all sup- ' plied the recruits that were infected. ' Th e Columbia Record says the knowledge now iu the possession of 1 the government corncerning the hook ! worm has been secured largely 1 through the investigations of Dr. C. ' A. Stiles, who spent a year or more in Columbia and South Carolina for this purpose. He went into the cot ton mill towns and out Into the country, including the sand hills, liv- ' ing among the people in their homes and examining the children in the schools. His observations are the basis for the present announcement. YOUNG HORSE THIEF. Twelve Year Old Negro Hoy Makes a Had Start. I.ast Monday night Dr. Dominick of Prosperity returned from a patient and, hitching his horse in the yard, went into the house. Ho returned in a few minutes and was astonished to find that his horse and buggy had disappeared. Search was begun but not until Tuesday morning did he find which way the* thieves had gone. It was fiojnd that they had been seen going towards Saluda river. Parties in auto a : information received along the road, one of the cars was able to follow the thieves, who were driving hard. About three miles from Leesville Messrs. J. B. Harmon and Jas. Hunt 1 caught up with the thieves. They were captured and brought back to Prosperity, and it developed that one 1 of the thieves, was a little negro of about 12 years of age, and his com- 1 pamon was a negro picked up on the road. Sheriff Buford came down and carried both to Newberry, and gave out 1 the information that the little negro was wanted for breaking out of jail, ( and also for stealing a watch and a 1 bicycle. * ' Commit* Suic ide.

T. Holleman, who for two years i ias been cashier of the Bank of Anerson, and who for four years was ssistant cashier, has been found ' hort in his accounts approximately 135,000, and has left for parts un.nown. In the cash drawer of the bank he eft a letter, addressed to President 1. F. Mauldin, in which he made a clear cut and complete confession aylng that he lost the money in peculating In cotton futures. Rather than face his fr'ends, he aid in the letter, he would flee, and his he did on Sunday morning, when ie left supposedly on his annual vacation. The people of Anderson are teverely stunned, for there was no nan in Anderson who enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the people nore than did Mr. Towmes Hollenan. The board of director Issued the 'ollowing statement Tuesday: "The board of directors of the Flank of Anderson make the followng statement in regard to the^ shortage of J. T. Holleman in his accounts is cashier, which came to the knowl?dge of the officials Monday night: After carefully looking into the affairs of the bank we find the amount will be about $35,000, and inasmuch is the capital stock is $150,000 and the surplus $225,000, making a total if $375,000 to which is added the liability of the stockholders, $150.000, making a total available for creditors of $525,000, the public can realize that the RtandinR of the hank la not Impaired and that the business of the bank, with Its well-known ability to accommodate Its customers, will not be lessened. The loss will be charged off to-morrow, when the bank examiner ascertains the exact amount." This statement was signed by President P. P. Mauldin, Vice President J. A. Brock. Attorney Joseph N. Brown and live directors. No statement ever Issued In Anderson occasioned greater surprise and consternation. The officials of the bank knew nothing of the matter until Monday night. Mr. Holleman left the bank Saturday afternoon, supposedly with the intention of going nway for a vacation of a week or two. He told his associates In the bank of his Intention last week and he left with their fullest permission, and they did not dream that there was anything wrong. He Is supposed to have left the city sometime Sunday. It Is not known where he has gone. The bank was opened as usual Monday morning and everything ran smoothly during the day. When Mr. A. H. Shnrpe, assistant cashier, went to balance the cash that night he found In the cash box a letter addressed to Mr. Mauiuin, the president. He also saw that there was something wrong with the cash. Mr. Shnrpe sent for Mr. Mauldin, who was at his home and the letter was opened and read. In It Mr. Holleman made a complete confession. He said he had been speculating In futures and had gone from bad to worse and that he had become desperate and decided to leave as he sould not face his exposure. He turned over all his property to the bank, but this will not come near covering the shortage. The directors of the bank wer? summoned, and after examination they placed the facts before Mr. Giles Wilson, the state bank examiner, who happened to bo in the city on one of his regular tiiiu ne is now going over the books. The directors, however, have ilready satisfied themselves that the ihortage la not more than $35,000, ind of course, this will not in any way cripple the bank, which is one )f the strongest in the up-country. Everything will go on as usual as the iank has a large surplus fund, seven >r eight times sufficient to take care )f the shortage. Mr. Holleman, in his letter, said he lrst began speculating in futures ibout a year ago wbn $'-00 which he lad saved. He lost that and thf n jorrowed $1,000 from tha bank wMh vhlcli to recoup his loss. This soon vent and other sums in rapid succe3lion. It is an old story of a small >eginning by a man who was the soul ?f honor and had no intention of c!eraudlng anvbody. Mr. Holleman is a native of Wa!lalla and has lived in Anderson | ibout twenty years. Ho has a wife ind several children. He has held ' everal -responsible positions in the ity and has been with the Bank of ( tnderson about six years. He rugal in his habits, steady and in- f ustrlous, and had always lived wlthn his income. He was Just about he last man in the city that would ( ave been suspected of being short ' n his accounts. r The announcement of his trouble rill be received with the greatest, sur- C rise throughout the city and county nd State, and there will be the deep- v st sympathy for him. He was uni- % ersally liked. It is not known where n e has gone and no statement was lade as to what steps would be takn to apprehend him. All of his ' riends and the bank directors were stunned to map out any course t f action.

ABOUT CLEMSON WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN THE BIG FARMER'S COLLEGE. The Fertilizer T-u Brought In * Big Sum During the Year Ending June T nul The finance committee of the board of trustees of Clemson College has finished Its inspection of the books of the treasurer for the year ending June 30. Below are a few Interesting facts and figures from the treasurer's report for the year: The income from the fertilizer Inspection tag tax was $177,271. Of this amount the trustees expended by order of the General Assent' $64,389.79 as follows* " ...opection of fertilizers and mailing fertilizer bulletins, $13,638.59; for analysis of fertilizers, minerals, ores, waters, etc, $8,997.65; for entomological inspection. $1,415.72; for veterinary inspection. $2,177.11; for Texas fever tick eradication, $6,583.98; for coast experiment station, $15,953.69; for farmers' institutes, $516.26; for 165 beneficiary scholarships, $15,166.79. These expenditures leave a balance credited to the College of $112,881.95, to which must be added the income from productive funds, such as Clemson bequest, tuition, rents, farm herd and dairy, etc, amounting to $9-,702.81, and the Income from the Federal Government, $23,254. These amounts, with a balance of $19,775.16, make a total of $165,613.92 for the use of the College. The expenditures of the College proper for the year were for permanent improvements, operating, equipment, supplies, labor, insurance, paid cadet fund, and salaries?by departments as follows: Academic department, $22,013.15; agricultural department, $15,648.27; chemical department, $6,737.30; engineering department, $24,885.98; military department, $3,010.39; texile department, $6,955.64; miscellaneous department, $67,116.11. The items which make the miscellaneous department mount up are chiefly barracks, maintanenance and equipment, heat, light and water, construction and repairs, support of convicts, expenses and salaries of president's and treasurer's office, trustees expenses, library, printery, etc. NEGROES VSK COCAINE. Said to Otain the Drug from a Cortain \VhU? Mil" A dispatch from Lexington says n prominent farmer from the Hollow Creek section was there and stated a faot that the law governing the sale of cocaine was being openly and flagrantly violated in his section. The habit among the negroe was rapidly becoming intolerable. In that farm hands were using the dope to the extent of being useless. He says that negroes carry It around In their pockets, selling It at church gatherings, and In some Instances they become wild and almost unmanageable. One negro is said to have had as much as $12 worth of the drugs at one time. It Is said that It is much easier to peddle cocaine than whiskey us it can be more easily concealed. It is thought that a prominent gentleman living in one of the near towns is actiug as a kind of a wholesale dealer, and that the negroes and whites that have become addicted to the habit get their supply from time to time. It is said that a negro moving into the community from Prosperity some months ago started the use of the drug among the negroes, and the habit has steadily grown, until most of the negroes in the setlement use it in preference for liquor. Hoth men and women use it, it is said. It will be recalled that not many weeks ago the mayor of the town of f<eesville fined tho violator of the cocaine law $500. He was tried on five different counts convicted and fined $100 on each count. One negro, Mack Manning, is now in Jail having been sent up by Mayor Ilendrix. The officers are going to work on tho case reported and it is thought that the guilty parties will be apprehended. wori.11 itrc riRvn ivvcnrn Ordered Two Young Indies to Get Out of lluggy.

A Farmer Tells How to Get the Most From Cowpeas. "In just the proportion that we In- | crease the acreage of the cowpea. In that proportion will the soils of our section be increased in fertility," . says Mr. A. L. French, a successful I North Carolina farmer, in the Pro- ' gressive Farmer. He then goes on to say: With us, it ususally follows a winter grazing crop that has been sown on corn stubble, but we are not averse to turning a good sod of closer and timothy, and often do this, plowing the sod in the late winter. Then as soon as the corn crop is planted, we start to harrowing the pea land. And the deeper the plowing is done and the better the seed bed is prepared, the better results wo obtain in the pea crop. No crop we have tried will respond better to good treatment than will the pea crop. We usually prepare the land well with the disc, Acme, and spiketooth harrows, sow the peas broadcast by hand and cultivate them in with tho spring-tooth cultivator. Then level the land with the smoothing harrow. On our best land we generally use three-fourths to one bushel per acre of good clean Clay peas and a peck of Amber cane seed. This makes the best combination for cow feed of uny thing we have ever used. On tho thinner fields, where we sow the peas for soil improvement primarily, we use the pea alone, broadcast, one bushel per acre. Then where we want the crop to be grazed by hogs we put the peas in rows two feet apart. We plant these with our tworow corn planter. When we have grown a crop of peavines that will make as fine a quality of hay as we have ever been privileged to feed, we make hay of it, every acre, as we have never been able to figure out the economy of making manure direct of peavines, when every ton of pea hay Is worth fifteen dollars when fed to first-class cattle or sheep, and tho manurial value of the product reduced very little by being passed through the animal. When we can make hay of peavines at. a cost of from $1 to $1.50 per ton and return the manure back to the land for 25c per ton, we believe It Is good business to do so rather than to plow under the crop in the raw state and just bury $13.25 with each ton so plowed under. Doesn't the proposition look reasonable? So we put the big six-foot mower Into the pea field when the pods are j getting brown, let the hay lie in the | swath until thoroughly wilted, then ! rake Into good sized windrows and j icmr until (Ill-Ltj WCII IIIICU. 11 IIIC weather continues fair, bunch and haul to the barn at once, but if rain threatens, cock up into large, high cocks and leave them alone until the weather clears, when the cocks are taken apart, sunned and aired and sent to the barn with a rush.
