Dr. Frederick A. Cook, arrived In New York ou Thursday on the steam- 1 ship George Washington as calmly ! ss if there had never been a North Pole controversy. He looked well ! and said little; in fact a typewritten 1 interview i'uuded the reporters em- | braced all 'v if he had to say witn the exception ot the necessity formalities of conversation thrust, upon him I by interviewers tOf far more oramutlc interest was ' -Leaded controversy among the i eumship passengers concerning the ipression he had mado upon them The doctor still assertB that he believes he was at the pole. IDr. Cook In Ills statement referred to the fart that ho was In the I'nited States less than a month a^o. "I arrived In Quebec on October 29, went to Troy, N. Y . then to Newburgh and Poughkcpsle," said J he. "I was in the two last named i cities about three weeks, writing, re- j vising and correcting proofs of irtj ! story. I registered under an assutn- | ed name because 1 wag very busy too busy to receive my personal friends or newspaper men. No oth I er precautions were taken to keep m\ presence concealed." Dr. Caad said he didn't know what his plans for the future will be: that he had no plans whatever l'or i ^ gome on the lecture platform "I have come back solely for the; purpose of rehabilitating myself and my family by sotting matters rinht ?with my countrymen." he declared, j The argument among the rtcorge' Washington's passengers arose when the doctor's sympathizers aboard wished it understood th it he was received with 110 shadow of disrlminaHon by the other passengers.

He waa an unostentatious passenger, playing cards of an evening witu a few friends and neither S'-eklng nor, avoiding attention. Once when the toasts were going ; around before bedtime and it came his turn to name a hea'th, he was quick to propose the 'Stars and i 8trlpes," u toast that none could refuse. i Another time when a passenger who hud not remarked to him before asked brusquely: "Are you Dr Cook?" Ho answered, "My name is Cook." i "Are you the Dr. Cook who went 1 to tho No-th Pole?" persisted the questioner. ] "I have been there." asserted the i < doctor gracely. i The typewritten Interview with the J 1 doctor did not satisfy the reporters j 1 They plied him with questions, but j I almost all of them he parried. j 1 "You have written this, doctor: j i 'After mature thought, 1 confess that ' I do not know absolutely whether 1 j reached the pole or not.'

FAKIRS ARfc CAUGHT ^ > ? CLAIMS TO UK AM KRI CAN CHRISTIANS I*'COM T1 KKKY. Were Soliciting Fue ls to Build ' I, Churches and Orphanages Over 'J Greece or Itulgurlm. Several times In tUt last fev years , able-bodied men, c ilmln' to be j American Christians ' ?ve solicited funds from th?? ' ???ie of this city to !> " u.i.uM in place of those destroyed by the Turka, or orphanages to accomodate the children of Christians murdered by the Turks. They generally traveled In pairs dressed lu the garb of ministers of the gospel, | and raised considerable money. As will be seen by th<< articles that follows below that these fellows are fa- ' kirs, and deserve no help or pity: < The discovery that four Turks who j ! passed through Atlanta last week I begging for money with which to build an orphanage at Ninevah, 1 were frauds, has led to the further |1 discovery that other fakirs of this sorf are operating in various parts of the country. Three have been arrested in Macon on warrants sworn < out by Joe Logan, of the Associated I Charities, two of whom have been 1 carried to Atlanta. I These three, however, are said not to be 'he four men who begged in Atlanta. Very probably, though. ' i all are members of the same band. J Skillful impostors of tlielr sort, working in harmony and in all likeli-, hood directed by one leader, are car- . rving on th? ir humbuggory in a nun. ber of places. Several times before fakirs of t'ais description have pastied through At- |' lanta, begging for some charitable endeavor and taking away witn them considerable sums. Such swindling schemes nave, indeed at times, reached national extent. Two of the men arrested at Macon give their names as Deacon MiekuoI Joseph and Archdeacon Johan Benin, both members of the Chaldean church. The third man is Thus. Antoin. I ORicer Jordan, one of the policeman at Ma on who arrested the three Armenians, say he believes that I < somewhere they have committed at more serious crime, lie thinks this; because the moment the men were! arrested though they had been charged with no vio'ent crime, they began i to proterl in their broken Knglish j that they had not killed "the man." They s< enied to know of some one having been murdered and ouch to he unxioes to convince the officers that he was innocent of the crime. The two men who have been brought, to Atlanta admit that they are cheats and that they have no intention of building an orphanage in MesopiKam'a. The fraud that the hand of Aomin jus is perpetrating w is brought to light through a story publish! d in The j Mirnal. The four of them who we e in Atlanta were seen by a reporter as they were begging from ortico to olllce in the post otlice house building. They told a guileless tale of liow they had tramped j' 10.000 miles from a place they nam-I ea as Motnh Golouw, in Syria, how they had crossed Europe, traversed Great Rritian and been in practically every state in the United States. They had collected $2..">00 and need ed only 12,500 more They save their names us Rev. Showell Chirkin th and Rev. Marcus George, and Deacons George Purgeow and Nathanial Daniel. Among tlieir credentials was a letter of indorsement from Bishop Nelson. Prof. Isaac M. Yonan, a native Persian, who is a professor of theol3gy in Urma college, saw the story ind recognized the men as frauds. Professor Yonan was visiting ("apt. R. M. Clayton. From Bishop Nelson :ie learned that a collection for the] Tour men was to be taken the next ] Sunday at St. Phillip's cathedrai.il The rector was warned and an effort |' was made to arrest the Turks. Be- ' :oming alarmed, however, they slipped nut of Atlanta. The police at all Mtles in Georgia and other south rn i :itiea were notified of the fakirs and I he two now in jail in Atlanta ami the third, who will soon he on his! way there, were arrested in Macon.

From the testimony before the court it seems that the election authorities openly participated in the purchase and sale of votes. Farmers have teen known publicly to auction r>ff their votes to the highest bidder without causing comment, let alone arrest.

It is the county districts that are especially under suspic ion, and the same circumstance is generally to be observed?where there Is the least organized vigilance and publicity in elections. fraud and corruption are most likely to flourish. These Ohio farmers who confess to selling their vote are well-to-do, substantial citizens, who seem to think it no harm to turn an honest penny by selling votes to those who will pay the most for them. Such men have no true conception of what citizenship really means, and they should not be allowed to vote. We would be sorry for the fellow who attempted to buy the votes of our farmers on election day. He would be taught a lesson he would not soon forget. nut It is different in Ohio. Found to lie Cseful.

Gradually, as scientific research reveals the properties of vegetation, much that was ><e considered a nuisance is now cultivated for its nvdicinal or commercial value.

I VERY SAD CASE i A Young Ho.band K lied While Aslup bj His Yonng Insans Wife' STRUCK HIM WITH AXE While Mentally Unbalanced Mrs. 1). B. Hamilton Deals Fatal Itlow to Her Husbau<l, K. A. Hamilton, at Their Home Four Miles From the City of Laurens. A special dispatch from Laurens to The News and Courier tells of an awful tragedy that took place roui miles from that cit> on Wednesday night. As he pea< efully slept. E. A Hamilton, one of the county's lea-ling farmers was killed in It is room hy his wife, Mrs. I>ella ltrown Hamilton, at their hotm four miles southeast of the cilv. The deed was committed bv M:. Hamilton while in a tit <<t mental aberration, from whi h she iias periodically suffered for several years, having during ihe past year spent some inte at a sanitarium. In In r deadly work Mrs. Hamilton used a small hand axe, and apparently one terrific blow crushed her sleeping husband's head, causing instant death. With he exception or the.r infant child no other persons were :n th> room. Mrs. Hamilton arose about ll o'clock and must have gone outside, where she procured an ax?. She t turned to the room nd struck la r sb-eping husband .1 fearful blow in the head with the dull end of the ?xe. knocking a deep hole in his skull and splattering blood over the. walls. Another large wound was made in the neck as if she had oht li 111 with the sliaip end of the nxe. His entire ^iead was mutilated. Heath was immediate. Taking her youngest child, about six months old, she than wont to one of the nearby negro cabins and told what she nad done. The alarm was given after Mrs. Hamilton had taken her baby and gone out to the colored cook's house. At 1 o'clock the sheriff was notified. Meanwhile neighbors and relatives hurried to the scene and found Mrs. II. tnllton in 1 terrible state. One of * he \egioes went for help, and soon Mr. Herly Itlakely, her brother-in-law, arrived anil found Mrs. Hamilton lving across a bed. When he approached she sprang up and struggled violently to get away from him. In trying to make her escape from the premises she is said to have dragged her brother-in-law several m i.inii ill ii'fi ueiore ueconmig oxhnusted. after which she cainicd anu talked about the tragedy, at times e\pressing sorrow and again saying it was all for the hot. Subsequently Mrs. Hamilton was placed in a room and locked up until early Thursday morning, when she was brought to the county jail, and there kept until 2 o'cloc k Thursday afternoon, win n she was carried to the State Hospital for the Insane at Columbia. This sad occurence is the one topic of conversation on the streets and everywhere uciversa! sorrow is expressed at the pathetic case. Mr. Hamilton was in the city only Wednesday, and was in a very bouyant frame of mind. The past season had been a very successful one with him, he having sold at one time, alone, over seventy-five bales of cotton and out of the year's crop had gathered between two and three hundred bales. He was prosperous and among the most substantial citizens of the county, being highly esteemed for his many sterling qualities. There were no domestic troubles in the family and the deed was the outcome of actions resulting from an unbalanced mind. Mrs. Hamilton has been in a feeble state of mind for some time and herself realized it, for recently she had requested that all weapons and dangerous instruments be removed from her reach to prevent her getting hold of them in case the feared lit of insanity should come. However, as it was uot thought that her condition warranted such steps, no precautions were taken. The case is pet nliarly sad, surrounded as thev w -re with a lar.te and happy family rid hundreds of acres of productive a,mine land. They had six little children, the oldest of whim is abo r thirteen years of age and the youngest about sir months old. While ample means are left for their apport. they musi miss the care and attention of a mother and father. Mr. Hamilton v as ahont years of ace.
