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*."

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

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

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. * '

CASHIER SHORT
i Trusted Man of Anderson
Ruins His Good Name
rOOK BANK'S FUNDS
ind Lost Thom In Speculating in |
Cotton Futures, Disappears, Leaving
a Written Confession, Which i
Completely Stunned His Friends,
Who Had Trusted Him.
i
J. 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

In the midst of the grief over his b

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.

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

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.

Andrew Jackson Says So and Ho Is
Supposed to Know.
To the Editor of The State:
I read recently a statement that c
the question of President Jackson's a
native State was still, and would per- a
haps ever remain unsettled.
Today I read in an old magazlno I
found in my father's library, styled
i iic r-iAuuuiim mm jinn iini ui I'UJlll- !

phia, dated Wednesday, May 28, ; *
1 834, a proclamation issued by An-[
drew Jackson, president of the Unit- '
ed States, addressed to the citizens of
the State of South Carolina, reasoning
with them on tho rights of a
State to nulify the act of congress,
which the state had recently passed,
In which proclamation he uses these
words: "Fellow citizens of ray native i
State, let me not only admonish you *
is tho first magistrate of our com- it
mon country, not to incur tho penal- , r
lies of the law," etc. sj

It eeems to me that Jackson thus
speaks of South Carolina as his nanive
State and there should be no
further controversy about the question.
