S. Bannister was seriously shot at Hilly Hill Monday night by W. H. Breland, who has noly been home about forty-five days. Pre viously he had been to prison In Orangeburg antf CoTumbTar and since his return had been conducting him self in a gentlemanly manner. Yes terday he began to drink and seem ingly lost all reason. Having threat ened and mistreated his wife, she ap pealed to some citizens for protec tion, although begging hone of them to go near him, as he was dangerous. Mr. E. S. Bannister with Messrs. John Simmons, L. R. Rhame, and Marshal Tillery went to the Breland bouse to try and quiet the man. As they approached he called out from behind some vines for them to halt. Mr. Bannister shouted that he want ed to talk to him and was bis friend. The answer to this was a shot from a pistol, which took effect In the right side just above the nipple. Breland called out, ‘T’ve got you,” and then turned the weapon on Mr. Simmons and fired. The ball pierced his coat, but did not touch his body. The others In the party assisted In getting Mr. Bannister away to his home, where medical attention was given him. Magistrate Wiggins was notified, and Sheriff Salley also, With several others Magistrate Wiggins surround ed the house and waited for daylight, when Breland was caught off his guard and overpowered by the magis trate and Constable Grooms, with the assistance of others hq was hand cuffed and locked. He was taken to Orangeburg on the same train that carried Mr. Bannister to Charleston for hlspltal treatment. Bannister died In Charleston Wednesday morn ing. A dispatch from Yera Crus Friday teM ef alarming amdldons there. The Mexican army opposing Gen. Funsten has lacreased to twenty men in the last twenty-four tad n base has been est&b- at the town of Jalaps, forty miles west of the American position, lit is clearly evident that the Htler- tUn troops Intend to make this a Base for their action against the Americana. At Vera Croz the Americans have begun to observe strict rules of war- tare. Ho Mexican is allowed to ap proach the American outposts. Pho tographers are barred from the camp, and every precaution Is being taken against an unexpected attack. It Is reported that eight thousand cotton mill workers at Rio Blanco have ■Brnek against their Spanish employ ers and have Joined the army of Boerta, wader the command of Nav arette. It is estimated by those In a petition te know that the Mexicans have a force of twelve thousand men Within thirty miles of Yera Crus. At Washington the utmost secrecy has yet-marked the Mexican af- Yara Orui. The mediation poeotlon was sidetracked while the president and his advisers gave their attention to the situation at Vera Following a dispatch from Funaton Secretary of War Gar rison called a hasty council of war warty In the morning. The naval de partment was also in receipt of a tel- from Admral Badger, but the Breland was brought to Orange burg and lodged in Jail by Sheriff Salley Tuesday, and does not, seem to be worried about the pre dicament he Is In. He claims that he shot In self-defense and had a right to do so. He appears, according to the authorities, to be mentally unbalanc ed and not capable of realizing the seriousness of his crime. He only re cently was brought from thWasylum, and It Is understood that at the time the asylum authorities advised against his being taken away, hut at the Inslstance of his relatives allow ed him to go.

MAKES WAR PLANS. ta Yera Crus Friday premtaeotly eommenda- l «t the American administration Is great eommer- etal aetMty everywhere and this Is a •f meek gratifleaton to the The vorfc of re-organlzatlon forward. oeadfttoa la Mexico City #§4 lour (■ Washington la Preparing for Bvery Mexican The following form the Constitution Is very timely* Almost as soon as summer’s hot breath routs Jack Frost, from the earth, "mad dog!" is the exclama tion that rises above the din of tm- flc on the crowded city pavements and drowns out the cooing of birds In country lanes. About this time of the year Fldo, Trixie and old dog Tray are In peril. If they escape policeman'e Colt the prospects are that they will Journey to the dogs’ happy hunting grounds via the pois oned sausage flung over the back fence. Yes, these are the days when they call " dog days.” At almost any time of the day you can see the ex cited crowds gathered on street cor ners, the copper with menacing pis tol and iAe .cowprlng canine in the corner being made the target of a very bad example of marksmanship. Dz. Claude Smith, city bacteriolo gist, in Atlanta made some interest ing announcements to make in re g&rd to the methods that should be followed after a person has been bit ten by a dog supposed to be suffering from rabbles. “It is important to make most em phatic the precaution not to kill.the dog," says Dr. Smith. “No matter how hard it may be to catch him, or how hard dangerous It seem. It Is better that some trouble be gone to in locking up the animal than that the patient should go through the agonies of uncertainty which can never be definitely settled except by the lapse of time. “If the dog is held It can soon be learned whether It is suffering from rabies, and If such be the case the discovery is never made too late for the proper treatment of the patient. As It Is, a great deal of unnecessary trouble Is caused by persons who rush off to a doctor, only waiting to see that the dog is killed.” Dr. Smith says there are three things which are prevalent hi the popular opinion in regard to mad dogs. The first Is that dogs go mad only during the hottest months of the year —dog days. “Much has been done to set the public right on this point and many are Informed of this phase of the matter," Dr. Smith says, “hut some still persist in hanging to the idea. “Another popular misconception is that the mad dog must always rave and foam at the mouth. Until he does, most people will refuse to .be lieve that he Is mad. In this they are wrong.. “Many dogs In the first stages of hydrophobia are more affected than ordinarily. Instead of tearing around the house, snapping at everything In sight and foaming at the mouth, they Insist oh being near some person. “The most erroneous conclusion of all is that the dog must be killed at once as soon as It Is thought that he Is mad. If posible, the dog that Is suspected of being mad after biting a person should always he locked up and kept for a few days. This will give the disease, if there Is any, time to' develop. Search for the disease is usually made In the brain of the ani mal, and it must be given time to make Its traces there before and defi nite decision can be reached in the matter. If thla is done, It will take only a few days to find out whether the dog has had the rabies, and If it did, plenty of time is left for the treatment of the patients.”’ In order that the public may un derstand fully the precautions neces sary, the city and state health boards the Grady Hospital and Pasteur In stitute stand ready to assist. Hun dreds of cases are treated annually at the Pasteur Institute, and all that Is asked Is that the patients take the precautions whtch every physician will agree is necessary. CHANGES OPINION, Carranza Sends Note to the United States Government. Secretary Bryan Saturday made public a long formal communication from Raphael Zubran, minister of foreign affairs In the Carranza cabi net, n behalf of General Carranza, declaring the friendly attitude of the constitutionalists towards the United States. The document reversed the position announced by Carranza, im mediately after the occupation of Yera Crus, that he resented the occu pation. Ho regards the American move ments no# as directed against Huer ta and not against the Mexican peo ple who, he says, are on friendly terms with the United States. The document was significant as being the first official communication announc- A dispatch from Washington Fri day announces that plana have been made by the waf department to throw an expeditionary force of L. v ^ American troop, aero*, the northern ' ^* border within ten houra if the smer- ^^ 1 ^ d,rect from oflJclal gency becomes necessary. Thera It we can go by the convention re turns, It looks as if the governor frill be retnrnod to private life. We do not see how any man In the State can kick if the Democratic State convention safeguards the pri mary from repetlons and frauds, al though not limiting the suffrage from any \yhite man. No one can fight against a fair election and an hon est count. * V.' / ■ . * ■ 1 ,... ., ' » . , What some people call content ment Is nothing but Indifference or laziness. They have not ambition enough to rise from their present condition. It Is only by a healthy discontent that progress Is made, whether in individual, social or polit ical life. J Every man makes mistakes. The great thing fo^ him to do Is not to spend his time in endless fretting over a mistake and thereby lose heart, but to get up again on his feet and press forward having learn ed wisdom from the sad experiences of the past. " . L ’ After all the hurly-burly of a few weeks ago In England over the ever lasting Ulster question, matters seem to have quoted down to such an ex tent that It now seems as If the crisis was passed. Probably the Unionists are now priparlng to accept the In evitable, and they might Just as well. Let eVery o.an do his best In what soever calling he may be engaged. He is the man that makes himself In dispensable, even In the midst of hard times. It Is the man who Is content to be Just an "average”, that is let out as soon as work gets slack. Anybody can get work when bffslness 1 a. honmljig- hut, busiuess doosn’t al ways boom. The man who keeps the weeds from growing In his garden, that keeps the grass mown on hla lawn, and who keeps his premises generally In good condition, may find the work exact ing at times, but be gets lots of satis faction out of it. He knows that It is good for h!s health, for his self- respect and for the appearance of his home town. Goethals Against Free Tolls. Although the discussion of free tolls has been lost in popular Interest over the Mexican situation, It might be interesting to note the position of Col. George W. Goethals, who built the Panama canal. Col. Goethals does not claim to .be an expert Inter preter of treaties. He bases his op position on two sound economic rea sons. First, says he, "free tolls to ves sels engaged In the coastwise trade result In a subsidy to a class of ship ping already fully protected and not In need of subsidy.” These free tolls would “benefit stockholders and not shippers”. Second, “this canal will need all the revenue It can get to pay Its cur rent expenses and indebtedness.” Col. Goethals’ testimony, says the New York World, "is the testimony of sound common sense, aside from any consideration of treaty obliga tions. If the Hay-Pauncefote treaty had never existed the part of wisdom would be to do what he advises and make the canal as near self-sustain ing as possible. This is a generous government, but it can not afford to give away everything. As Col. Goe- thals says, 'established steamship companies fix rates after conference, and, as they are In the business for profit, will demand the highest rates the traffic will hear.' Everybo,^ knows this to be a fact The Goethals statement is a smashing blow to the whole campaign of sub- sudy grabbing.” APPEARS FOR FRANK. much speculation as to Just what course will be pursued by these la authority la Mexloo aad the Sdmla- irprepxrfai foriU emer- Major Gea.
