"Therefore, in behalf of the fair name of the state, we call mpon you to meet us in Columbia, next Monday at noon and begin this liui'ortant work without any further delay.” Thus concludes a letter written late Wednesday by J. D. Bivens, J. M. Greer and R. M. Jeffries, mem bers of the sub-committee of the State Democratic Executive Commit tee, which was appointed to probe the charges of fraud in connection with the primary. These members of the sub-committee met in Colum bia Wednesday claiming that thf>y had not been officially notified that the meeting had been called off by Chairman Stevenson. They ask Chairman Stevenson by what authority h^ nullified the meet ing, which was fixed for Wednesday and later called off by Mr Steven son until the county papers of the •tale print the club rolls, they had been requested by Mr. Stevenson to do.

Flame of Fuat' Within Half an Inch of Deadly Machii^v When Fire Was Extinguished. The New York World says Antonio Janlke, a milkman, of No. 128 East One Hundred and Thirtieth street, was making his rounds before day light when he came to No. 231 East Ninety.ninth street. He carried his ease of milk bottles in one hand and a lantern in the other to guide him up the darkened stairways of the tenement, which houses twenty-seven families, to the top floor, where Vin cent Piccio lives with his wife and children. As Antonio reached the top of the stairs he saw a red something sput tering away in the darkness. He turned his lantern upon it and saw it was the end of a lighted fuse that was rapidly eating its way to a per cussion cap on an infernal machine. Antonio quickly ripped off the cov er of one of his milk iKJttles and drenched the fuse. Then he ran downstairs and found Policeman Nau who went to the tenement with the milkman and took the bomb to the police station .after making a thor ough examination of the premises. He found that Piccio is the only Itaiion living there. Piccio aaid he had never received any Black Hand letters, hut the police are confident that he tins and that the person or persons wh i placed tile bomb at his door and determined to kill him. even if in doing so the livo 3 of all Hie others were taken also. Tiie entire tenement was thrown LAWYER IN TROUBLE —». CHARGED WITH MURDERING A RICH WOMAN CLINT BODY SANK IN THE LAKE The Woman’s Name Was Mrs, Szabo and the Lawyer is Burton Gibson —He is Charged With Murdering the Woman to Get Her Money— Testimony Is Strong. A dispatch from New York says all night long Wednesday night private detectives hung about Burton VV. Gib son's home at Rutherford, N. J., while the headlighta of automobiles were turned on the Gibson house so that all the exits could be watched. Evidence Submitted before County Judge Royce, of Middletown, upon which a warrant charging Gibson with murder in the first degree was issued, was most sensational. Dr. Scbultzc, coroner s physician of New York, swore that Mrs. Szabo was so injured before she fell into the water that she never breathed alter she had sunk below the sur- fcce. The surgeon said there were tricks of jiu jilsu whereby Mrs. Szabo could uaii inflicted a slid'p blow in the throat which so affected a nerve us to close her air passage, thereby making it impossible to breath. Dr. SoliuIt/e said tiiat there was not a sign of water in the lungs and no congest ion. Only expert kow '| dge was required to d ' the truk, said Dr Sehullze, HELP WILSON FUND EACH (’ONTIUIUTOR WILL BE GIVEN A BECEIIT. This Receipt lias the Semblance of a Finely Executed Bond and Will Be a Souvenir. There have been engraved hand some certificates, bearing excellent likenesses of Woodrow Wilson and Thos. Ik Marshall, one of which, properly executed to fit the individ ual case, of course, will lie issued from the New York office as a re ceipt for every contribution of |1 or more' to the Democratic natioiurt campaign fund. Each of the South Carolinians who have made contributions of |1 or more to the fund through The |rimee and Democrat, will in clue course receive his rdeeipt in this form, except' in cases where lump sums were transmitted to The State without a list of the individual con tributors therein represented. These receipts, having the sem blance of a finely executed bond, are suitable for framing and doubtless will be carefully preserved by hold ers as handsome souvenirs of their participation in a i>opular movement that Is unique and important in the political history of the country.
