7 ANSWER PRAYER' J TW Pmr af Speed Was ftestard te a laa at Wertaiisttr, S. C. DUMB FOR THREE YEARS Like the Marvel* of Early Christian , Days, Reads Story of Mr. Drayton 1 ! Poore, Who, Dumb, Speaks Again, 1 the Thorn in the Flesh Having Been Removed. A letter from Westminster to the Newe and Cornier says without ques- ( ?" tion the most consDicuous man in up- ] per South Carolina to-day is Mr. Thomas Drayton Poore. He had this unabating eonspiciousness since the afternon of Feb. 7, 1911. It does not dwindle in the least, but rather grows greater as the circle covering the knowledge of his experience grows wider. People from different parts of the state and the neighboring State of Georgia have come in numbers to Westminster for the sole purpose of looking on the person of this new marked man. Letters have been received by the hundreds making inquiry about him. The thing that has brought Mr. Poore Into the lime light is the sudden restoration of speech, of which he had been totally deprived for almoet three years. To be more eAact, the thing that has pointed hiir. out as a conspicious character is not the simple fact of the restoration of speech, but the circumstances under which his speech was restored, and more especially the cause that is believed to have been behind It and responsible for it. A brief history of the case of Mr. Poore will tell the story and put before the reader the evidence upon which the claim of a miracle is posited. Mr. Poore, who is one of the most reputable men of the town and county In which he lives, began to lose the power of speech on the 11th day .of April, 1908, and continued to grow worse In this respect until on the 18th day of December of that year he was utterly unable to make an audible sound, even in the form of a whisper. The physicians told him that it was the result of a case of nervous indigestion that had been troubling him for a long time. Mr. Foore was unable to make a single sound in the nature of speech until the afternoon of February 11, 1911. It is the return of the power of speech, espec. tally in the light of the circumstances of its return, and. as it is confidently believed by all, the cause of its return that makes Mr. Foore to be a subject of great Interest at this time. The circumstances are these: There was a protracted service in progress at the Baptist chuch in Westminster, of which Mr. Poore is a member and officer. The services were being conducted by the Rev. S. E. Stephens, a returned missionary of that denomination. On the afternoon of the ?ta of February, at a very quiet meeting , in which prayer was the predomr- , nating feature, Mr. Poore wrote on a ( slip of paper a request that prayer be ? offered for him that God would give j him grace to bear his affliction. At- ( tention was called to the fact that it , _ might be God's will to restore to him ? ' ~ ^ - his voice, and this was made the bur- ) den of the prayers offered at thai t time. Like Paul of old, the brethren prayed that the "thorn of the flesh'' might be removed, but if it was not { for the glory of God that It he re- ' moved that their brother might be 1 given grace to bear it to God's glory < and praise. After the season of prayer was 1 over, without asking if ihe answer had been given, the leader announced a hymn, and none was more surprised, perhaps, than Mr. Poore to 1 find that he could join in the singing 1 with as strong and melodious a voice as any one present. The amazement 1 was startling when Mr. Poore. just as the minister was about to dismiss the congregation, rushed to the platform, lifted his hand and began to tell, with lips that had been speechless for three years, of how wonderfully God had answered the prayers of His people on that occasion. At the request of Mr. Poore the congregation sang. "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and "Praise God, from Whom .All Blessings Flow," the subject of the blessing leading the singing with 1 a thrill in his voice that by that con- 1 gregation was never heard on land or i sea. i If any one imagines that there was < any drag in the meeting after that < they are quite mistaken. An ovation was tendered 'Mr. Poore on the ground, and as the remarkable incident spread through the town and surrounding country multitudes < thronged the streets, delegation after delegation met him on his way home, or called on him after he reached i home. The house was packed at night < with people, who, like the Jews in i Bethany that came not for Jesus' 1 sake only, but to see Lazarus whom 1 Ho hart ralsiori from the dead. came 1 not for the meeting's sake only, but 1 that they might see the man who had received such a tangible and apparent blessing in answer to prayer that had i been offered in that house. The crowds still come to Mi. Poore's home and 6uch an occurrence in the life of one so well and so favorably known, and in a denomination that is noted for its conservativencss and quietude, and yet in the life of a man with such an implicit and abiding faith in the promises of God. has received no other explanation than that God was pleased to hear the cry of His people and answer them "according to His loving kindness and tender mercies." The following affidavits, made in the presence of an officer of the law and under the seal of the Commonwealth of South Carolina, will attest the historicity of the incident, even to the most sceptical: "The State of South Carolina, "County of Oconee. "Personally appeared before me Thomas Drayton Poore. of the town s of Westminster. State and county s aforesaid, who, being duly sworn. Bays: That he is 4 9 year of age. and that he deals in real estate and farm- t ing: that on the 11th day of April, 1908, he began losing his power of speech, and that his power of speech had become totally lost on the 18tn day of December, 1908, the loss being i attributed as a result of nervousness That he had been unable to speak, i even in an audible whisper, from thejl WANT JUTE FREE TRl'ST TRYING TO THROTTLE ALL COMPETITION. The Duty Proposed Would Suppress Calcutta. l>undee and Liverpool Jute Ragging Mills. To prevent the closing down, by :he trust in this country, of every foreign mill manufacturing bagging for covering cotton, mill interests in :hls and other Southern States have petitioned congress at the 62d extraordinary session to place all bagging ror covering cotton on the free list. \ letter written to Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina was given out Thursday. The letter follows: Hon. 13. It. Tillman, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Under paragraph 355 or the tariff act jute bagging is protected by a duty of 6ix-tenths of one per cent and three-fourths of a cent per running yard, provided the bagging is composed of jute, jute butts or hemp. The manufacturers of bagging in this country not being satisfied with the tribute paid to it by the cotton farmers for the past fifteen years under the above tariff, recently made a test case to nrove that foreign bagging contains some jute mill waste or other fibre, and on that account is not entitled to entry as above, but must pay a duty of 45 per cent ad valors m. This will stop every Calcutta, Dundee and Liverpool mill now engaged in making bagging for shipments to this country for cotton. i I am led to believe that the mills in this country use other fibres than Jute in making their bagging, and it iB evident that the intention of congress was simply to protect American made bagging by a three-quarter of a cent duty per yard and not by duty of 45 per cent, ad valorem, which these manufacturers now insist shall be j paid on every yard of imported goods unless chemical and microscopic examination shows same to be absolutely pure jute, jute butts or hemp. With the foreign mills closed dowrthe American manufacturers will soon have the cotton planters at their mercy, and It appears to us that now is the time for congress to act and see that justice is done to the planter and to the oil mills who use large quantities of bagging in packing their linters. Binder twine Is admitted free of duty. This twine is made from the same stuff that bagging is manufactured from. Now why should the farmers who raise wheat and oats be exempted while the cotton planter is called upon to pay a heavy duty on his bagging iiS W?1' as 13 1-2 cents per bundle on cotton ties? We hope that you will be able to place all articles used in covering cotton on the free list. Yours very truly, B. F. Taylor, President Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association. In other States protects have been made to the present congress. The matter is one of grave Importance af'ecting the cotton mills, the farmers ind other interests wherever bagging s used ror any purpose. m? ciucm* lown of foreign mills, it is believed, vould create an oppressive monopoly n this country that would operate igainst the farmers to a large exent. ^foresaid da?e, December 18. 1908, inntil the Tth day of February, 1911, it which time the power of speech was completely returned to him; and that he is firmly of the opinion that the return was due to prayer offered in his behalf on that date.

On the 28th of this month people in this State will have an excellent opportunity of observing a total eclipse of the eun, which will be more plainly visible here than any other eclipse for years. The eclipse will be visible here as obscuring of two digits off the southern limit of the sun. This means that from this point the moon will totally blot out a portion from the lower part of the eun, which will represent in size two astro nomlcal digits. .Many peopie win gei out their smoked glasses and amateur telescopes and attempt to learn something about the king of the planets. The eclipse will be visible in a large portion of the United States aud nowhere better than in this section. The sun will set eclipsed east of a line drawn from Pittsburg to Matagorda Pay, Texas. Washington, I). C.. is at the northern Atlantic boundary of the area of visibility. The eclipse will be invisible north of a Pne drawn from Portland, Ore., through Milwaukee and Pittsburg to Washington. The eclipse will be very small in the Western and Middle States. At San Dieeo less than onehalf of the sun's face will be obscured, while at Chicago less than one-sixtieth will be eclipsed. The cities where it will be best visible are given below, with the time the eclipse will begin and end : Charleston. S. C.. begins 6:14 p. m., ends sun sets eclipsed. St. Louis, Mo., begins 5:43 p. m., ends 6:28 p. m. New Orleans, La., begins 5:22 p. m., ends sun sets eclipsed. Raleigh, N. C.. begins 6:23 p. :n., ends sun sets eclipsed. Jacksonville, Fia.. begins 6:06 p. m., ends sun sels eclipsed. Little Rock, Ark., begins 5:34 p. m., ends at sunset. ? Wi r. . or n TV* jacKSOU, Alias., uc^um u.? i |?. in., ends sun sets eclipsed.

Richmond, Va., contact at sunset. There will be another solar eclipse this year, which will take place on October 22. This will be an annulai eclipse, and will not be visible on t:he Western Continent. Astronomers will hail the ecli >se this month with great rejoicing. Already the great observatory on Mount Wilson is making preparations for observation A solar eclipse furnishes valuable opportunities for the study of the sun's corona. This portion of the sun is practically beyond (lie study of the astronomer under normal conditions, because of its great brightness. When the moon passes between the 6arth and the sun, it is possible to train a telescope upon the corona in such a manner as not only to get photographs and observations of the corona, but what is considered :'ar more important, to obtain a spectroscopic photo of the corona, which is expected to add greatly to the information of astronomers concerning t he composition of the solar body. NEGKO TELLS OF Ml KDKH. Got Mad Because He Was Not Bail e<l for .Selling uooze. Decerning enraged because his white "friends" would not pay him out of jail when he was arrested for selling whiskey in violation of the state prohibition law, a negro ai Oarfleld, a station on the Savannah. Augusta & Northern railway, 25 miles from Statesboro, Oa.. told the officers of a murder said to have been committed by a white man named Mullins in December last. He said the body of a negro was buried down in a swamp near Garfield and instructed the officers to go there and dig. Fearing they would not find the exact spot, the officers carried the negro with them and it is said he took them with no difficulty to where he helped bury the negro. He says he had no hand in the killing, but the white man made he and another negro bury the corpse. They began to dig and in a short while it is said, the decomposed body of the negro was found. It is said the negro was killed about the middle of December and nothing had been heard of it until the negro was arrested for selling whiskey and his white friends refused to come to his rescue, when he be come sore ana reveaieu me oeiici. It is understood the sheriff of Emanuel county has been notified and is searching for the murderer. It is said that the accused white man has gone to parts unknown. Three Were Killed. A long distance telephone message from Monroeville, Ala., the county seat of Monroe county, north of Mobile, states that a cyclone struck a settlement near there Sunday night and that three persons were killed. ing Thomases" who will refuse to believe. That is their prerogative. The fact remains just the same. If they so desire let them make a journey to Westminster and there they may hear with their own ears what God hath wrought for thcs^ who believe His promises. The question of cause may be considered as still an open one. So was that of the miracles of old. However, those in the community who have carefully studied the matter, including some of the most conservative theologians of the country, say that it is the direct result of the attitude of belief on the part of God's people. They aver that this is an example 01 what the church might see today but for her belief. Prominent ministers are urging that it is not the limitation of God's power or willingness, but the limitation of the faith of His people that keeps the church today from saying in thousands of instances to her deaf and dumb, both physically ani spiritually: "Eph-pha-tha' ? "Be thou opened." r a PREY OF MOSQUITOES QUEEN IS BOUND TO STAKE AND LEFT TO PERISH. Cruel Vengeance Exacted by the Ruler on an Erring Woman May Wipe Out Colony. Quietly but persistently, and with promise of startling revelations, the United States has turned Its coldly inquiring gaze on a condition of affairs that exist on the Island of St. Malo on the coast of Louisiana. The circumstances hark back a full century when the French pirate Laflttt was a very real bugbear to voyagTS seeking homes and fortunes In the French colonies of Louisiana. From those times up to the present the island has been held by an outlaw male community of semisavages, having their own government, which they called a "Free Republic," and administering Justice through their own council. Once or twice there have I been perrunctory eiieeis to Dring ins I Island under the laws of this country but only recently has there been provocation sufficient to Inspire energetic investigations. Up to the time of the recent tragedy in which poor, wayward, romantic Marie La Vigne, a mainland beauty of Acadian descent lost her life, the island was referred to as an "Eveless Eden." Women were not tolerated. Up to the present the details of the tragedy which Marie La Vigne brought upon herself are somewhat vague, except her horrible death. She captivated the master of the colony while he was marketing a hor.tload of fish until he became sc obsessed by her charming figure and coquettish glances that he dared tc violate tradition by letting her accompany him home. For some monlht he was able to reconcile his people to the presence of his "queen." as Marie insisted upon calling herself Gradually younger men of the colony lost their prejudices, under the inbuence of Marie's glances. Presently the master found he did not occupy the whole of Marie's heart worse, that his rivals were not only successful, but numerous. Marie's public accuser was the master himself. And his thirst foi vengeance was so fierce that In: turned her over to her worst enemies, the council of elders, for trial. There was no lack of evidence. AcoAi-dinu tn th? harharnus standard n( the community, a punishment to fit the crime was announced by the council: "Let her be eaten alive by mosquitoes!" The council of elders, in delivering this terrible judgment, also swore the islanders to permit no future invasion of the island by any women. Then Marie La Vigne was led for:h to execution. She was bound to a stake in tht marshes naked, where swarms ol mosquitoes and gnats denied any possibility that she would live lon& enough to suffer pangs of hunger. Such is the outline of the tragedy which has turned the gaze of the authorities on the whole problem of civilizing St. Malo, and, if possible, bringing to justice the murderers of poor Marie La Vigne. A Wise Policy. Officials of the Southern Railway announce when a wreck or accident occurs on any of their lints complete and accurate information will be furnished the newspapers without question and without quabble. The Augusta Chronicle thinks "the decision is a wise one, and the road will find, as others following that policy have found, that it wib benefit in the end. ".Much of the prejudices against railroads which has been capitalized by a certain type of politician is due to the old-time mistaken policy oi exclusiveness and lack of confidence towards the public on the part of the corporations. A railroad is a quasipublic institution. The public is interested, and has a right to know, about any important occurrence connected therewith. "I'ntil a few years ago, every rai road in the country maintained a ri le of secrecy with regard to matters of public interest that would have shamed the officers of the Czar of Russia. When wrecks occurred, those with all available correct information gave correct imitations of the calamity when the newsgatherers went around. The result was that a reporter assigned to a wreck always got a "story" from somewhere or somehow. but it was usually inaccurate, exaggerated and nine times out ci ten unduly harmful to the railroad. Rut the newsgetter was not to blame: for in many instances wrecks occurred at inaccessible points or essential details could be obtained only from the management of the road. "Rut the policy announced by the Southern is only one step in a direction that many should be taken by the managers of railroad properties. They should take their patrons into their confidence, and be perfectly frank with thein regarding rates, schedules and all other matters relatinp to service. They should have nothing to conceal, and ther^fon should hide nothing. I>et the public understand about the operations of a railroad, and in a majority of cases it will be convinced that it is operated honestly. Knowing this, the ear of the voter will not be attuned to the screarhy voice appealing to anti-railroad prejudices?prejudices which can be overcome as to the body of the people by candor and open dealing." Lame Duck Pond. There seems to be a lot of public money wasted in putting defeated congressmen on commissions for which there is little use, and for which, If they are of use, very few of the appointees have needful uuali fications. It is getting so that for almost every conceivable thing there is a commission, and apparently they are created mainly for above named purpose. If a congressman on the dominant side, or any side, is defeated for 'enomination or re-election it i is always open to him to follow his | previous calling or take up some \ocation. That, certainly, would be more manly than to be cared for by the government at ihe expense of thpublic. The Democratic House shoulr look into this lame duck busiue3J and cut off the supplies on which they feed. This lame duck pond growt bigger and bigger and It Is about time to abolish it. MARTIN THE LEADER SELECTED AS HEAD OF MINORITY IN UPPER HOUSE. The Progressive Democrats Vote for Shlvely, Who Polls Sixteen of the Thirty-Seven. Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia was selected at the Democratic senate caueuB Friday as permanent caucus chairman and minority leader during the present congrese. He received 21 out of the 37 votes cast, 16 going to Senator Benj. F. Shively of Indiana. Senator W. E. Chilton of West Virginia was elected secretary, being elected by acclamation. Senator Owen declined reelection as secretary. The expected long contest did not develop. Prior to the session the progressive Democrats, as the followers of William J. Bryan prefer to be designated, met in the office of Senator Owen to canvass the situation. A number found themselves In an embarrassing i>osltion, because of pledges made many weeks ago that , they would support Mr. Martin for the minority leadership. It was decided that the progres, sives should vote for Senator New. lands of Nevada, as Senators Culber. son of Texas and Stone of Missouri , both declined to become candidates. The pi in was changed in caucus, however, when it was learned that Mr. Shively, who was the vice chair, man under the leadership of Senator t Money during the last congress, i would not object to receiving the [ complimentary vote of those who i would not vole for Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin was nominated by Sen, ator Clark and Senator Shively by , Senator Kern. Senator Stone sec, onded the Shively nomination. The 37 votes cast account for the . Democratic strength except four. , Senators Tillman of South Carolina, . Terrell of Georgia and Shively were . absent because of illness, and Senato? Martin did not vote. The roll call r follows: For Martin: Bacon, Bailey, Bank, head, Bryan, Chilton, Clarke, Culber. son, Fletcher. Foster, Johnstone, , Overman, Paynter, Percy, Rayner, . Simmons. Smith, f.Md.), Swanson, Taylor, Thornton, Watson and Wil. llams. > For Shively: Chamberlain, Davis, Gore, Hitchcock, Johnson, (Me.), , Kern, Lea, Martine, Myers, Newlands, O'Gorman, Owen.

The Nashville Advocate says were Comnnl Ttnr/lottn tt'AVOn in*: oiui j \j i unmuci imiiwvu^ > u ? v.?i Into a novel, it would be pronounced i fiction of the most crude type. It is the truth, nevertheless; and there are many who rejoice that vindication has come, even though it be 30 years late, and that suspicion has been i lifted from a worthy man that he may stand spotless before his fellowmen in his declining days. Thirty years ago Samuel Burdette, a registry clerk in the postofllce at Peoria, 111, put a package of registered letters containing $3,500 into a mail sack and billed it to its destination. When the sack was opened the package was missing, and suspicion fell upon Burdette. Owing to the confidence reposed in him by his superiors. Burdette was not prosecuted, but was retained in his position foi ; two years longer, when he entered the ministry and was sent to Asia as i a missionary. For several years past , he has been pastor of a church in Springfield, Mass., loved and honored, , but occasionally reminded of the missing registered package A few weeks ago a veteran mail sack found I its way into the government repair , shop in San Francisco, and under' neath the lining in the bottom was found the package, where it had been . hidden from sight for 3 0 years. Improbable as the story is, its truth . has been vouched for by the postal authorities. Keep Good Towns Down. The Augusta Chronicle nays hundreds of good towns have been kept in the village classification and de 1 nied their proper growth by factional ' strife and personal animosities. As an example of what it means by the above the Chronicle says they are now trying to pass a bond issue in Colquitt, Miller county. We know nothing of the proposition. It may be eood or it may be bad, but the issue seems to have been forgotten in the factional bitterness engendered by its discussion. An exponent upholding the bond issue writes a column long card to the local paper, from which we extract the following: Right here I dispute ever being an associate of yours during any period of my life. No connections whatever with you except imaginary objects from your multiple vision. I find you still suffering from ' illusions. Take the safe remedy from your old family physician. Stop your knocking, kicking and aching: close your childish prat ties: get with the progressives. Again, being an orator of renown, many of us remember with i ereat pleasure your maiden oration delivering medals to the merited at the close of the late Mi3S Alice McCann School, (hie). It is reasonable to assume that the above is in reply to something equally as personal and foreign to the question at issue. No matter how badly the bond issue may be needed, it would be better to forego it entirely than to precipitate debate? of such , type between leading citizens. Such senseless now-wowing holds many a . good town down, and lets better tempered and less deserving rivals escape with the bone of progress. Fatally Burned.

She screamed and tried to protect herself with a blanket, but [ before assistance reached her, she i had been burned terribly.
