State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. The South Carolina college is nearly one hundred years old and will celebrate its centennial the 8th, 9th and 10th of nest January. The annual conference of the South Carolina Methodist church is to be held in Darlington some time the first of Dei cember. Bishop A. W. Wilson, of Baltimore. will preside. G. P. Sawyer and M. R. Prince, the two chaingang overseers charged with whipping to death the negro Wade Hartley, were acquitted at Edgefield last Thursday afternoon. The jury remained out only a * few minutes. A man named J. H. Holt has victimized several farmers in Lexington couuty, by taking orders for buggies that never came?the parties paying him part of the price in advance. He has been arrested and committed to jail to await trial for swindling. \ Mr. Ross Mulloy, a prominent young man of Cheraw, was drowned in a mill ^ pond a few miles from that town last Saturday afternoon while out duck hunting. It seem that his boat capsized while he was separated from his companions and he was drowned while trying to ' * swim to shore. Governor Hey ward has granted a res" pite to Aaron Williams, a negro, who was to have been hanged at Camden last Friday for assaulting a white woman. There is grave doubt as to his guilt, and the white citizens of the community are in< teresting themselves in the. condemned S man's behalf. It seems likely that a newtrial will be had. * Capers Etheredge, the fourteen-yearsold son of Mr. Uriah Etheredge, of Bates% burg, was killed last Saturday night while out 'possum hunting. The boy lay down and went to sleep while a tree was being cut down and ran in the way of the falling tree. He was horribly crushed and died almost instantly. The memorial dining hall of the Thornwell Orphanage at Clinton was destroyed by fire last Friday night. Xhe fire is supposed to have originated from one of the ovens. The buildipg was a handsome atone structure, costing about $10,090. There was only partial insurance, and the loss is a heavy one. President Jacobs is appealing for aid for the orphans. Judge Purdy has granted bail to Clarence Thrailkill, convicted in Saluda county of manslaughter, pending an appeal jto the State Supreme Court. The bond was $5,000, which has been given. The judge also fixed bond at $5,000 for Miller and McCormick, the two white men convicted of killing a negro, and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, but they failed to get bondsmen. y In Horry county last week a white woman named Bell was killed by her two nephews and her husband. She was sep- j \ arated from her husband a few months ago, and it seems that her husband and ? ?^ w Via** hAncn f/\r tne IWO young men uauc IV/ ilCi UVUOV AV4 1 the purpose of diggingand carrying away some potatoes. A row resulted and the woman was struck on the head with a hoe which crushed her skull. The parties have been arrested. ? Religion in Fly Time. A western farmer came to the pastor of his congregation and asked that his name be taken off the church books. "What is the trouble, Brother Jones?" asked the surprised pastor, "I supposed that you were a faithful follower of the Lamb." "Well, I sorter supposed that myself, but there is just no use talkin', a man can't serve the Lord when he has to milk four cows in fly time. After the first heavy frost I'll try this church business again, but just now I either have to sell the cows, give up the church, or be a hypo crite." DANGER OF A COLD. Pneumonia, gripp, cold, bronchitis and nearly every other dangerous sickness of this kind is usually the development of a i slight cough. Too many people are laid up and too many die from diseases where they could so easily knock that first cough in the head. Murray's florehound Mullein and Tar cures colds. It just drops the bottom out of a cough. Every druggist A has it for 25c a bottle. Remember "Xiurray's" and take no other. Regular 50c size. They Come High in Indiana. "Your brother in Indiana is coming to 4 visit you, I understand?" "Yes, he's coming this fall. He hasn't felt that he could afford the trip until now." "Struck something rich, has he?"

Mrs. Philmer, of Cordova, Iowa, says: I "One of my children was subject to croup of a severe type, and the gieiogo Chamberlain's Cough Remedy prompt u, alwaj s brought relief. Many in this neighborhood think as 1 do about this remeuyand want no other tor their children." Sold by Bamberg Phar; II. C. Rice. Denmark. PRELIMINARY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS- | David Ott Bound Over to Court of Sessions Charged With Assault * Orasgerurg, Nov. 3.?The preliminary hearing in the case against David Ott 1 on the charge of having committed an A assault upon Miss Lula Shumaker last Sunday afternoon was held today by Magistrate C. P. Brunson. The magis trate excluded from the hearing everyone ex- * cepting the parties interested and the c attorneys in the case, and such witnesses as were offered by the State were exam- 1 ined. The young lady was accompanied I by her father and mother and a few other members of the family. As had been i anticipated, the magistrate held the defendant-.for the court of sessions, and he ? was recommitted to jail. It is understood s that Mr. Ott's attorneys will apply for bail, but it is not known when the appli- J cation will be made, as it will have to be 1 brought before a circuit judge. Mr. Adam i H. Moss represented the defense, while Messrs. Raysor & Summers appeared for ? the prosecution! { Need ttive No Uneasiness. ] The decision of the supreme court as to < authority of police officers to arres; for < a misdemeanor without a warrant need - - ?i -.m x give no uneasiness to municipal uuicers. j Associate Justice^Jones reiterates former decisions to the effect that for offenses less than a felony a peace officer may not arrest without a warrant unless the offence is committed in his presence, but the justice qualifies this broad rule by the assertion that an arrest may be made on the arrival of the officer at the scene so soon after the occurrence that there are still evidences of the dislurbance. In the discharge of their difficult and peculiar duties it is frequently necessary, for the sake of order and justice, that police officers shall make immediate arrests for misdemeanors not committed in their presence, and so long as these officers perform their duty with discretion they can be certain of being sustained by the courts in any particular case?The State. A Sharp Trick. Elloree, Nov. 3.?Friday Mosley, a former student of Claflin university, with his accomplice, Jesse Gadsden, attempted a rather sharp trick here the other day on one of the merchants. Mosley brought a bale of cotton to town which was weighed and numbered by local Cotton*Weigher F. H. Dantzler^ The negro erased the figure 1 and substituted 2. He was paid K? ?>? fiwn nf TT1 mt?r A; THf.k foT tWO Kjy l/UV UAiU V4 - , bales. Shortly afterwards it was discov- * ered by another party having the same ( number as one of Mosley's bales that the ^ darkies had only one.bale of cotton. 1 Search was made for them and they were 1 soon captured with the money, which j one of the negroes had carefully deposit- r ed in his shoes. A HEAVY LOAD. To lift that load off the stomach take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat. Sour stomach, belching, gaB on stomach and disorders of the stomach that are curable, are instantly relieved and cured by the use of KodolDyspepsia Cure. S. P. Storrs, a druggist at297Main street. New Britain, Conn., says: "Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is giving such universal < satisfaction and is so surely becoming the 1 positive relief and subsequent cure for < this distressing ailment, I feel that I am < always sure to satisfy and- gratify my < customers by recommending it to them.

Svery doubtful State went Republican for resident, even West Virginia and Maryaud. W. L. Douglas, the great shoe man, vho is a Democrat, was elected governor >f Massachusetts. Joe Folk, the great Democratic reformer, was elected governor of Missouri, al,hough the Republicans are still claiming i victory in that State. Roosevelt carried the State of New Fork by 185,000 majority, and the Republican candidate for governor in that State is elected by about 85,000 majority. In the city of New York Parker's vote was less than Bryan's in 1900, and Roosevelt made great gains over McKinlev's vote in the city. In fact Roosevelt was elected president by a much larger vote than McKinley received in 1900, and Judge Parker fell away behind Bryan's vote all along the line. Roosevelt is certain of 325 electoral votes against 151 for Parker. The Democratic candidate took his defeat grace fully and sent a telegram to rtooseveit. In South Carolina the election was very quiet. Few Republican votes were cast, the negroes in many places not paying any attention to the election or offering to vote. All the Democratic congressmen "were elected, but no doubt the Republican candidates will make a contest. In Cherokee county an election was held on the question of voting the dispensary out of that county, this being the first election held nnder the provisions of the Brice bill. The dispensary was overwhelmingly voted out, the vote being about six to one. Ed. DeCamp can take a large part of the credit for this to himjelf. In Greenville county Walker was electjd county supervisor over Speegle, defeating him by a large majority. Our readers will remember this contest. The execu- j live committee finally declared Speegle ;he nominee of the Democratic primary rod Walker ran in the general election. Walker's election was not a surprise, as nost of the Democratic clubs in the :ounty resented the committee's action rod endorsed his candidacy in the general ilection. All the constitntional amendments appear to have been carried by good, safe naiorities. GILBERT DORN DEAD. Railroad Porter Who Was Shot on the Train. His Assailant at Large. Gilbert Dorn, the colored porter on the Southern railway who was shot by a negro passenger between Augusta and Graniteville 10 days ago, died yesterday afternoon in the colored hospital in this city from lockjaw. It is said that the negro passenger was in a row with other, negroes on the train and fired at one of them. The bullet, however, went wide of its mark and struck Dorn. The negro who did the shooting jumpsd from the train and escaped. His body was sent to his former home in Trenton for interment.?Columbia State. The Colleton Scandal. The story which comes from Colleton sigain concerning the convicted murderer Adams is indeed one of the most extraordinary narratives on record in South Carolina. That a man convicted by a jury and sentenced to death should walk abroad without restraint or attempt at restraint is anarchy pure and simple. One man lias defied the law and nullified the decrees of the court, setting at naught the whole power of the State government. Such a thing would not be possible, of ;ourse, in any county where the sheriff 3ad the desire to do his duty. But the jherifFs course has been practically enlorsed by the people of Colleton county, jince they have reelected him to that ofice. The escape of Adams took place lefore the primary election, and that he yas in the county unmolested was known luring the campaign, yet the sheriff responsible for this condition was renomilated over several competitors. He may low consider, therefore, that his disregard of duty is approved by the people to yhorn he owes his office. But there are other law officers in Coleton county. Any constable or other jeace officer may arrest Adams and by iresenting him to the sheriff compel his ncarceration. There are other law officers than those a Colleton county, and it does seem that he time has come'for some other officer han the sheriff of that county to be sent hereto put this escaped convict where le belougs?in prison.?The State.

There has never been in South Carolina a more extraordinary case than that of Adams, the Colleton man who after being convicted of murder escaped jail and has never been recaptured, although he has never left the county. And not the least remarkable part of the story is that the sheriff responsible for this fiasco was renominated in the recent Democrat ic primary over six or eight competitors. The Colleton News in its last issue gives the following, editorially, in reference to the case under the headlines, "Where is Adams ?" "All Colletonians remember the trial and conviction of R. A. Adams. All remember that the death sentence was passed and that Adams was remanded to jail to await execution. It is still fresh in our minds how Colleton county C9ngratulated itself upon the excellence of its courts and upon its inevitable and speedy execution of justice. We have not vef forgotten the < shock the county experienced when the news went out that Adams, the murderer, had mysteriously spirited himself between the iron bars of the jail and had gone back to the stamps and forest glades of his childhood. We remember how, even then, the people trusted, how they kept faith in their officers of justice and calmly, loyally, patiently, waited for justice to be done. "Rumors went out that Adams was at U/MMA AnfloTTT mo a rtnl of 1 tt UVJU1C) bUQb bJJlO V/UbiOH it uo v^uiwvij i* v*a~ ing on his farm. Again and again these reports were confirmed. It is said that Adams had been seen shooting birds, fighting his brothers, and in various other peaceable (?) ways was amusing himself, with all the recklessness of a Dick Turpin or a Robin Hood. "Even then, though the law had been defied, though the gauntlet of a highwayman had been hurled in the face of our courts, though our county has been disgraced and our citizens dishonored, yet the law-loving Colletonians waited and trusted, and generous hearts quelled suspicion against the 'high and mighty.' "Since then rumors have multiplied, facts have come to light. It is now no longer a question to be debated, 'but a fact that can't be denied. Adams is still in. our county. Adams, the murderer, is within a few miles of our jail. "What is wrong? Who is to blame? Where does the fault lie? It is not with the court?Adams was tried. Not with the jury?Adams was convicted. Where is it? Why is the sentence of the law not executed ? ^Ministers preach against lynching; , editors denounce lawlessness; good men would purify the masses. For heav ea's sake, first let us purify our system of justice. Let the law take its course; let the penalty follow in the footsteps of the crime, and lawlessness will cease and lynchings will no longer stain the escutcheon of our State. "It is time that Colleton should wake up. It is time for its officers to throw off their lethargy; it is time, high time, that justice be done. "We do not lay the blame at anybody's door. We do not say to anyone, 'Thou art the man.' But we do say that if our executive officers cannot perform a duty which the law requires, then let them step down and out and let men with grit and nerve step in and execute the laws. "When condemned criminals are allowed to remain at large and defy the State, then a premium is placed on crime; then our good citizens will be murdered, our women will be in danger, lynchings will continue, political chaos will take the place of law and order and the purposes of justice will be defeated, "It is now up to Colleton to either burn up its law books, erase its statutes and tear aown its court house, or to rise up and demand of her officers that her criminals be apprehended, that her sentences be enforced and that her laws be I OVO/MltpH " The annual report of the clerk of court of Richland county show9 that out of 52 convictions only 9 were white.
