i * INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
# 1 KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
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

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?"
"I guess it amounts to aoout me same
thiDg. You see, he's classed as a doubtful
voter."
MANY OF LIKE OPINION.
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

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

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. '

William James, the noted psychologist <
of Harvard, was illustrating the confusion 1
into which children's minds may be
thrown by the reception of different ideas
about the same subject, says the Buffalo
Enquirer.
"Henry Ward Beecher," he said, "furn- '
ished us in his childhood with a good <
example of the thing I mean. On the {
death of Beecher's mother the little fellow
was told by some that she had gone ,

"He brooded over these contradictory
ideas until they were reconciled in his

m REPUBLICAN VICTORY
ROOSEVELT CARRIES EVERY DOUBTFUL
STATE BY LARGE MAJORITIES.
)nly The Solid South Stands by the Democratic
Ticket?Even West Virginia and
Maryland go for Roosevelt
The election Tuesday was not a great
iurprise to many people, for they fully
sxpected Roosevelt to defeat Parker, but
hat the victory of the Republicans would
)e so overwhelming was not supposed.
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

CONVICTED MURDERER AT LIBERTY.
Extraordinary Case of R. A. Adams in Colleton
County?He is Said to be at Home.
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

Guilty But Hart. ' >
"I was governor of my State for two
terms," said a well-known western poli-^^j |1
tician, "and I made up my mind as soo^
as I was sworn in the first time to right
any wrong I might $nd in the two 8tate
prisons. I had somehow got the idea J
that many innocent men were sent there."
"And did you find it so?" was asked. .3jg||Ha
"I did. There were over a thousand M
convicts in all, and I investigated 850 |j
cases before I stopped. According to his'
own story every one was an innocent /fjKJl
man ana cne vicum 01 injustice. xaere
was just one exception. He had been:/%
sent to prison for stealing a cow, and he ;
lied to me for a long time. At length, ?Sfafl
one day after I had gone over the case
with him for the fifth time and showed
that he must be guilty, he said:
" 'It's no use to try to deceive you, gov- vf|||
ernor. I'll admit that I did the stealing,
but what hurts my feelings is the mistake
they made. It wasn't a cow at all, but a
blamed old jackass, and the jury convict- r^$
ed me because it was sworn to that he 1
gave twelve quarts of milk a day.'" f|
