Mr. Clark, in a brief speech informed theeandidata of his nomination, and presented to him a formal comorankatibn signed by the committee. m Standing bear beaded, daring a brief . t&M In the rain storm which had lasted since soon after daylight, Judge Par ker accepted the nomioatlou and aat forth hia views in a speech that evok ed frequent and hearty applause. He spoke for a little more than half an hour. -3^ The ceremony was held on the lawn at Roeemount, under the trees at the worth of the house, and was attended by upwards of 600 persons, the larger number of whom came from New York City with the notification committee on the steamer Sagamore. The Com pany Included many Democrats of na tional prominence, as well as a large and representative delegation from Tammany Hall.. , There would have bieu a gala day gathering horn Kingston and rtolulty where perhaps the Judge la best .known, but the rain had been so heavy and so continuous that few local pie ventured forth. It was at first decided to hold the ceremonies on the Sagamore, owing to the storm, but the protestor those who wanted Judge Parker notified at bis own houae was so vigorous that at the last moment the little platform erect ed on the Parker lawn was hastily dec orated with flaga and the cere monks were held there according to the orig inal plan. — Daring meat of the time cocupied by Champ Clark’s speech the rain was telling in a steady drizzle, but it stop ped entirely Just as Judge Parker be gan biaaddnaa, and held off until he finished. w Representative Clark was speaking and Judge Parker was sUnd'ng bare headed without shelter when a man in the crowd called: “Somebody, hold an umbrella over Judge Parker.'* ▲ Dumber were immediately offered hut tbi Judge refused them -with a OQurteoua wave of the band. “Justice for all, speqUl privileges for none,” Mr. (Bark, and the spectators ahoweOhelr appreciation bf the sally W a moot of laughter.

L. Hendricks, of the Park hotel, Wednesday morning swore out a war rant in the dty court for W. W. Craig, one of hit guests, who has de parted for parts unknown and who has not paid the proprietor his Nil for lodging siooe last Wednesday. From what can be Judged Craig is cne of the smoothest citizens thst ever visited the Central City. He came to this place last Wednesday and said that he was an expert ebaffeur representing the New York Safety Steam Power company, and that he intended to give a free ex- hibitionjfor the benefit of the people who rldein these parts He did not have his machine and said that It would arrive in a few days. He took particular pains to have a number of persons about the hotel bear him telephoning to the freight department of the Southern railway and asking them to change the route of his racing auto which had been billed through mistake by way of New Orleans. He also hurriedly opened a letter in the hotel Wednesday lu the presence of Mr. Hendricks and others, from which he produced a check for 198.66. This he asked the hotel man to cash. But Mr. Hendricks wss wise. He telegraphed about the New York Safety Steam Power company and was told by one bank that no such estab lishment was known. Craig, however, was able to borrow a few dollars on the strength of the check. Later, however, be gave a draft on the concern. The wires were used and nothing satisfactory was learned. In the meantime things were getting so warm on the track of Craig that he disappeared Tuesday night some time or early Wednesday morning. The police of the various dues 'and towns of the state have been notified to look out for Craig. United State* Senator* Tillman Latimer Made Speeches. Many ..InterestingMatters Msenassd „ by Other Speaker*. A special disc this principle if- flhsMi thait waits seemed to yield to the force of bis rea soning and at the end of a particularly telling period toward the close of the speech, it gave the candidate the greatest] demonstra* ion of the after- noon. It looked as though every mao, woman and child in the throng sur rounding the platfortn had a small America flag and as they cheered the waving flags almost concealed the oc cupants of the stand. The speaker waited for the applause to subside and ade his few conoluiing re marks, finishing his address at six minutes before three. He began his address at 2 18 P. M. A|_. Judge Parker spoke hU Closing words the band struck up ‘ The Star Spangled Banner,” and from the deck of the yacht Sapphire In the river be low a numbtr of bombs were fired in salute. These bursting in the air, re eased parachutes from which were suspended the national colors.

After the oeremony all crowded up eagerly to shake the candidate’s band and to congratulate him upon bis speech. The reception was continued on the veranda until afterH o’clock when the company broke up and the visitors re turned to their boats and trains. Congressman Clark, In his notifica tion speech, in part: “Your long and oonspicuous career as a Jurist lo one of the bigh*stoourte in the world—the period which you have spent in expounding constitu tions and statutes—cause your coun trymen to believe that more exalted position to which they are about to call you, you will carry with you that profound respect for the or nstitutlon and the laws which with you has be come a confirmed mental habit and upon which depends the perpetuity of our system of government. “Into vour hands the great historic party or constitutional government hss committed its standard with abid ing faith In your courage, your integ rity, your honor, your capacity and your patriotism, believing that under your leadership we will schieve a sig nal victory, hoping tbatvouradminis tration Will be such a fortunate, such a happy ipooh in our annals as to mark the beginning of a long era of Demo cratic ascendency and that you will so discharge the duties of your high office as to rank in history with the greatest and best beloved of Ameri can presidents. . “The convention, according to Dem ocratic custom, appointed a committee —of which It ()id me the honor to make me chairman for which I am deeply grateful—to convey to you of ficial Information of your selection as the Democratic nominee for president of the United Stater” Judge Parker’s speech in full will be found In another column. ~ Will Keep Them Buy.

It has been said that some words are so momentous thst they become deeds. Bryan’s were such. As he talked, the purple shadows of the coming day were seen through the windows, and before he cloaed the dawn, was gray about him. He stood there surrendering his power, that had oome to bis yonth so suddenly. He had carried the banner of social Democracy in America farther than any other man had carried it. It is not free silver that Bryan stands for, and be knew it, In the breaking day. when his party told him to stand aside. He beliives that his idee is immaterial) is important; to the welfare of his country. Probably he is wrong; but as he stood there sadly appealing to his party for bis old cause, whietf be knew was a lost cause, _ farewell—-a long [J£*7 ag aDplled b y ra^ra farewell—to all the power and glory t r that has been the breath of his nostrils. He has lived cleanly, and has acted fairly and squarely accord ing to his lights. He is the idol of that party, of bis branch of his party, which stood for bis ideas. These men live lb the middle weet. Thous ands of them oame many hundred miles to see him surrender, and he quit like a gentlemen with his colors flying. The editor of The News is not what might be called a Bryan Democrat though we are all plain Democrats now, and is at the farthest removed from Populism. But we desire to make a prediction that may be con veniently remembered If it comes true, to this effect: If Parker is elected be will probably be reelected for the second term. What the country needs today is a man of the Parker type and be will personally grow more popular Instead of leas as was the fate of hia laat Democratic predeoeeaor in that high office. But Parker is not the type of a man that is called a “reformer.” Eight yean from now it is not 1m- possible that the truat issue involv ing the transportation issue, will have become the over-shadowing one. Say what one pleases about govern ment ownership of railroad and tele graph Unee, When the question nar rows to this, sihether they shall own the government or the government them, the people will be quick enough to decide, and to decide right. In brief, we should not be surprised to see as opposing candidates in 1912 a chasened Roosevelt and aq older Bryan confronting each other, and that the Democratic platform of that day will contain such a radical plank against the trusts, and the tyranny and discrimination of the railroads, as that the people will look to Bryan to carry out their will. At any rate, those who have been preaching his funeral are a little premature.—Char lotte News. - , A Woman Scalped. Before the horrified gaze of buor dredsof society women sod men in •evening dress, dining on the broad verandas of the Park Casino, in the mellow rays of Japanese lanterns, and as the orchestra played the scalp of Mias Mary Dougherty, of No. 316 North street, R- Chester, N. Y., was torn from 1 er bead by the crankshaft of the big red gasolene automobile from which she had Just alighted, about six o’clock Wednesday night. The flow of blood, crimsoning the soil, and her shrieks, caused a dozen wo men to faint and all the guests were thrown Into a panic. While she waa Writhing • on the gravel walk hey screams, with those of her sister and a woman friehd who were in the auto mobile, were echoed by the women in the Casino’s fashionable throng. Many cabs were called for, and a score of private equipages drove away with their passengera; while the un fortunate woman, carried into the main building of the Casino, was be ing attended by Dr. Lathrop, of the Presbyterian Hospital. ~ Crascd by Oriel. At Olive Springs, Miss., frantic with grief over the death of her bus- band, Mrs. Annie Miller MoOargo saturated her own hair and clothing with kerosene oil Wednesday and set herself on fire in the public square. Spectators, horrified by the awful spectacle, tried to aid.'her, but she fought them off desperately, though she uttered no word, not even a moan to show her sufferings. Finally three men with blankets surrounded her sod extinguished the flames. The woman, unconscious fell to the ground sod died la an hour. Mrs. McCargo conducted the principal hotel in the city, and when her husband, Attor ney W. H. MoOargo, died several days ago the shock unsettled her reason. The climax came, in her fearful sot of lelf-destrnotloa. Charge* Fread. George W. Morgan, New York State superintendent of eleotiona, Wednes day night gave out a statement io which he says it Is efimatyi that 1600,000 have been nude within the pest year in the sale of fraudulent papers. He adds thst the federal au thorities estimate that over._lA0.009 fraudulent naturalisation papers hajn besii sold by Ihoat waged in this IHtelt traffic, and that 30,TWO of these have bean imued In New York cite, -r— 4 .j- *.■&' ' i.',' T* jspatoh from Clemsop College to The Bta^e says there were about three timed as many farmers at the Institute last year as there are this year. The political campaign, tire rains and the fact that all could not be comfortably accommodated last year are the ret sons assigned foL the smaller attendance. THK KXPDRIENCK MXJCTINQ. ▲bout 300 farmers held an experi ence meeting in the auditorium Tues day afternoon. OoT. Newman presid ed and Senator Latimer occupied a seat on the stage. Mr. B. D. Smith of Sumter told of bis experience in marketing crops. In a few introductory remarks be illus trated the need of dealing with all matters in a practical way and of ap plying mind to matter. This priucl- in marketing their crope. They were the only producers lo the world who did not set the price on their pro ducts. All producers would calculate bow much It oast to make their goods and adding to this a fair profit would offer a for sale at a price to cover tbeee Items. The farmers made their crope and then asked the purchaser to fix the price. While the southern cotton farmer has a monopoly of a great product yet he bad made no effort to control the price of his pro duct. He had no representative on the cotton exchange or cleewhere r but in the pest had been content to let the balance of the world fix the price of ootton. If they continued in this way they would show themselvss to be great fools. He explained a plan he had used at Lynchburg, his home. ▲ Dumber of termers lu the neighborhood had form ed an organization and had made him their sales agent. A charge of 26 cents a bale was made to cover the expenses. The farmers would bring their ootton to town in such lota as wpuld be ooovenlewt to them. Mr. Smith would then telegraph to vari ous exporter! and thfe ootton pur chasers asking for bids for so much ootton. He kept informed of the price at Liverpool, New York, and other points, and if the prioe offered was satisfactory he would sell the ootton the members of the organiza tion had brought to town that day. By so acting the members of the or ganization had made about 66,000 on 3,000 bales of ootton more than they would have made If tbe organization had not existed. He believed If aiml* lar organizations were formed throughout the country the price of oottou could be regulated, and the bulls and bears would not control the situation. If the organization oould be further perfected so as to regulate tbe acreage tbe condition of the oot ton farnoer would be much'improved. The southern farmer had a gbod enough thing in cjttou raising and if he would just mix brains with his business be would lead a very happy existence. Mr. Smith drew a very amusing pic ture of tbe present manner of selling cotton by the average farmer. He made the farmer out to be a man lack ing io self respect unless bis face be lied his feelings and made him out to be a ridiculous figure tramping around town in the oold and rain trying to sell his bale of ootton from a sample to noodle-beaded men who did not have the natural ability of the farmer. The only hope of the farmer was to foi m organizations such as were to be found, in all callings and until such organizations as he had Indicated wegg formed to fix the prioaof ootton the farmers of the south would be beggars on their own doorstops. They had a natural monopoly and if they did not take advantage of their opportunities they were monstrous fools. GOOD ROADS. Prof. Newman then introduced Sena tor Latimer who spoke of his good roads bill. He said that before tbe farmers could market their crop profit- ably they must have good roads, and bis bill provided for the buildiog of good roads without its costing the peo ple oae cent more than now. It was unfair to make the farmers, be&r all the expense of building roada It was Just as reasonable to make tbe htekmen of a city keep up the streets of a city. Therefore every one in the country should assist and bis bill simply provided for this, making, the federal government spend a sum on tbe roads equal to that expended by the State. He exp’alned In detail the features of bis bill, which has been given be fore in The State. He was well receiv ed and given close attention. At the conclusion of Senator Lati mer’s address be asked all who favored the bill to stand up. Every mao, wo man and child in the audit nee stood up. The aftelhxxm exercises were con cluded by a* address by Prof. Earle, aesoeiate protestor, of mechanical en gineering. Without dealing too much in technicalities be gate interesting and valuable advice ou the care of steam engines. He explained the caus es of boiler txplorioos and tbe menu of preventing them, commended meet highly gasoline engtem in preference to steam engines and also spoke favor ably of wind mills. quately garbed, a party Of eight More Igorroto chiefs, constituting a part of tbe Philippine exhibit at tbe St. Louis exposition, Tuesday paid their re spects to President Roosevelt at the White House. The exchangee be tween tbe chiefs and tbe president were informal, but happy in their tone. Through Antero, a bright 15 year- old Igorrote ooy, who acted as inter preter, the More dates and Igorrote chiefs expressed their pleasure at be ing received by tbe president and told him that he might depend upon their loyalty to the American government. President Roosevelt, after shaking hands with each one of bis little brown visitors, replied that be was glad of tbe opportunity to greet them, to welcome them to the national capi tal and to assure them that tbe Amer- loan government desired to promote their welfare, prosperity and content ment. As the president’s kindly expres sions were Interpreted to them by An tero, the dates and chiefs nodded their heads in approval and smiled their thanks. Tbe reception took place In the president’s private office and adjoining tbe cabinet room. While It was in progress, the members of tbe osbinet arrived to attend tbe regular semi-weekly meeting. Each In-turn was presented to the Filipinos who paid them tbe highest respect known to their people. Before the conclusion of the reception, the chiefs, through Antero, presented to the president some handsome native gifts, including curiously carved metallic pipes, a beautifully embellished spear aod two shields, one of closely woven native gram and tbe other of wood covered with hide. After they left the executive offices the Filipinos were shown through the lower apartments of the White House. Tbe Moroe were garbed In native costume of brillisutly colored Japanese sHk blouse and tightly fit ting trousers, all elaborately figured, and wore turbans of the same materi al twisted loosely about their heads. The Igorrotes wore complete suite of spotless white duck, relieved by orien tal scarfs of brilliant colon. The visitors were taken to the war depart ment and driven in car. iages to all public buildings. * Baited Him Rxaetly. At Washington the police found a negro boy late laat night who had had enough watermelon to satisfy him for some time to oome. He was Jimmie Haerington, eleven years o’d, tbe son of an employe io the Southern rail way yards at Columbia, S. 0. Last Thursday week he was playing in the yards, and noticed a trainload of wa termelons on a side track.' He climbed up into a oar and was “hunting around for a cracked one,” he,said, to break open and eat when an employe drew the door shut and locked him in. He was afraid to make an outcry and kept still. For three days and nights tbe lad subsist ed on watermelons until the train reached the freight yards in . Wash ington. When the car was opened tbe boy appeared and tbe police took him in charge. A dispatch was sent to his father and be was started home ward at once: A Freud Uncovered. A fraud order was issued today by the poetoffloe department against Prof. R. E. Dutton and his ~‘School of Science,” at Lincoln, Neb. Mr. Dut ton professes to have the powers of Christ and claims to have a peculiar force simply wonderful to mankind. In hts advertising matter, that the department says is bringing him In a fortune, he announced that for 65 “he would awaken the great soul of the functions of your five special seqsee and to develope psychic; faculties in ten days and make you a wboderful hypnotist with power to travel In spirit toaey home and trace up lost and stolen articles, find buried treas ures and read the very life hlatory of any person from the cradle to the grave." . - Frightened by Kiploetou. By the ex plosion of a stick of dyna mite under a oar of the Tazewell Elec tric company^ xt Tazewell, Tuesday afternoon a dozen or more people were placed In jeopardy of their lives. The dynamite was put into the flange of tbe track by unknown persons and when the explosion occurred the pas sengers, numbering about half a dozen ladles and about as many men, were panic stricken, but no one was injured beyond being severely shocked. Tbe car wss so badly damaged that the passengers had to be transferred in hacks and taken hastily to the train. The affair oaqsed a good deal of ex citement In the neighborhood. There is no clue to the perpetrators of the cripae. . * A Widow Awaolted, Mrs. Whitehurst, widow of Life Saver Whitehurst at Dam Neck Sta tion, Just below Virginia Beach, was assaulted in her room Wednesday night. Mrs. Whitehurst’s screams alarmed a lady companion in another room who ran to the life saving sta tion to report. The man made hia escape and Mrs. Whitehurst cannot say whether he wsa white or black. ▲ poan is pursuing him and il caught there probably will be a lynching.

C. Deal, G. L. Mikell and J. M. Fordham have just returned from Savannah wrbMS they went to aee the two negroes charged with the murder, viz., Paul Reid and Will Catoe. Gatoe is said to he hold- mg up as wellj as could be expected, but Reid is about to break down. He told the gentlemen referred to above a good many ihlogs and promised to make a clean breast of the whole matter when they call on him again for the purpose of obtaining if possi ble, all the*details of the horrible crime." When first approached Reid refused to talk. Restated that he had decided to die with all he knew still concealed in his breast, but the mea who had known him for yeprs finally prevailed on him to talk. ; He said that there was s society known as the “Before Day Club” which held meetings In the neighbor hood; It was at a meeting of this club that tbe murder was planned, that the men to do tbe work were selected in this meeting, and that three other men, viz., I. L. Smith, A. J. Smith and Milee L. Waters were selected as the other three victims. The name of the club was made “Tbe Before Day Club” for tbe reason that It meets after midnight and always ad journs before day. Reid says that a large number of the negroes in that section belong to the club. He did not state why It was that the other three men were not killed on this occasion. He stated that be knew bis doom, aod expreared himself as being afraid to oome beck here. He stated that he feared even bis own race. Ht was trying to make peace with God, and If the men would oome back mi Tuesday he would tell them ail he knew about It, and give the names of all the parties who were engaged in the commission of the crime or the planning of it. Mr. Miles Waters was in town Thursday, and believes there is such a club as the one that Reid claims ex ists here. He says that it met on Sunday night near his house, and he does not relish the idea that hia name has been handed in as one of tbe par ties marked for slaughter. Other parties who were in town from the section above here also believe that such a club exists. They say thatooe of tbe meeting places of the club Is at the Nichols gin house about ten miles above here. They will meet at a late hour and hold secret sessloos until Just before day, when they will quiet ly slip away. Messrs. Deal and the other gentle men will go down to Savannah this morning and will endeavor to get all tbe facte possible from Reid. Oatoe will also be visited again. Tbe two negroes have not seen each other since they were locked in Chatham county jail. One is on the first, floor of the jail and tbe other one on the third floor. Handy Bell, the negro who Is said to have had the gun, has never been released from Jail, thougn be was not ordered held by the coroner's jury. Will Rainey, another negro Implicated by Reid, has been arreeled and placed in Jail. Reid’s statement wlH be looked for with agood deal of Interest and a good deal depends on bow he makes it, and the reasonablenew of his assertions as to bow it will be received. If he un derstands as it seems that he doee, that be Is a doomed man, and thathe will neither profit nor gain by putting others in the same plight as himself, be will probably break down and tell tbe truth about It. That is the rec ord even of the most abandoned crimi nals. When they see certain death facing them, they then begin to make peace with their maker as a laat re sort, aod can then be depended upon to tell the truth better than at any other tithe.
