Chiefs do not Want Ute Indians to
Live With Sioux.
Washington, March 14.?The
Cheyenne Sioux Indians do not want
the Utes of South Dakota to live on
their reservation, and a delegation
of their chiefs came to Washington
to tell the President so. They went
to the White House yesterday morning,
four of them?Iron Tomahawk,
Crow Eagle, White Beaver and John
\ V Woodpile?and were received by the
President.
The Utes have for some months enjoyed
the reputation of being the
L worst of bad Indians, for they went
on a rampage last summer, were
chased by the cavalry from Fort
Meade, and are now prisoners on the
reservation at that post.
Some of their chiefs came to Washington
under guard several weeks
ago to tell the President that they
wanted to emigrate to the country
of the Cheyenne Sioux. The Cheyenne
chiefs will not hear of this.
They Jtold the President, through
their interpreter, that the Utes were
bad Indians, that they would not
work, and were trouble makers
wherever they were found.
\ McLanrin Out for Roosevelt.
V Washington, Mar. 15.?The Hon.
? John L. McLaurin, one-time senator
from South Carolina, was at the
White House today to shake hands
with President Roosevelt. He says
' T. R. is the greatest president who
v has ever presided over the destinies
V of this or any other nation or ever
came down the pike. He wants the
- people to rise up and give him a
. third term with a whoop and a yell.
L ' He made these following remarks
ry to this effect while sitting in the
y lobby of the hotel:
"The people of the United States
mtxxt- j; j -11
augni U) UlSregiU U Oil pax ijf unco auu
nominate President Roosevelt for a
third term. I for one intend to supV-;.
port him if he is a candidate for the
V: presidency next year."
> The former senator doesn't think
there is much chance, though. In
the first place, he says the suggestion
/is "too wise a one ever to be adopted
by the Democrat party." You see
he doesn't think much of the Democratic
party. His suggestion is too
/v";-' wise for it. But there is something
else in the way. "In my opinion,"
continued the former senator,4 'President
Roosevelt is the greatest man
who has ever occupied the White
'3 House. He was honest and sincere
^ when he issued the statement on
election night in 1904 that he would
never accept a renomination for the
presidency/and I fear that he will
kftnaot frv ^icromirH this
ifj V UC WW UU11WV w uu?v6t~v> ?
pledge to the people/' Think of
that! Here is a man who is actually
. too honest. But, Mr. McLaurin con/
tinued: "The nation should, however,
disregard his wishes and give
him a unanimous renomination and
reelection. The work which he has
begun, of regulating the railroads
J ; and corporations and the building of
v the Panama canal can not be comix;
pleted during the present adminisJ
1 tration and there is not another man
: ; in the country who can carry the
work on as the president has and is
^ now doing." ,
, And that is not all. The ex-senator
^/ closed with this remark: "It sterns
/ to me that God Almighty created the
man for the great work he is doing
for the country."
pv No wonder as Mr. McLaurn ipassed
through Washington on his way
from New York to Bennettsville he
/r stopped to go up to the White House
(Z and shake the Great Man's hand.?

Disgusting Talk.
RcicHESTER, N. Y., March 13.?In
the course of a sensational sermon at
St George's Episcopal church Sun/
day night, Rev. George Chalmers
Richmond in discussing the liquor
> traffic, said:
"The saloon is in the world to stay.
*J.X Certain elements about it are good.
It is a special meeting place. Some
of my best parishioners in New York
visit the beer saloons regularly. 1
' got a number of men to come to
v church by drinking beer with them.
The German loves his beer, and if
taken temperately it does no harm.
. The Frenchman likes his wine, the
Englishman his ale, and so it goes.
About all the clergy I meet drink
c when they feel like it. Some of the
best wine I ever drank was handed
me by a vestryman. Some of the
finest whiskey -on earth I saw very
near the person of a church warden.
One of the highest church officials
among the laity of Rochester is a
i - brewer. What of it? He makes
|?vv good beer and many men like it.
Deny them their beer and soon you
would see dire consequences. Let
us face facts. We cannot rush pubh'j
lie opinion."

WE ARE NOT SURPRISED.
One of the Negro Troopers In Trouble j
In Richland.
Columbia, March 12.?One of the
negroes who figured in the shooting
up of Brownsville has also figured in
a row in this county. ' Carolina DeSassure,
who belonged to the famous
battalion dismissed by President
Roosevelt, is a native of this State,
his family having come from about
Sumter. Recently Carolina has been
. staying at Eastover, in the lower
portion of Richland county, where
there is a very large settlement of
negroes. On Monday he was in the
store run by the McKenzie brothers
and interfered in a trade between
Mr. Ted McKenzie and a negro customer,
telling McKenzie not to cheat
the negro.
DeSassure displayed a pair of
brass knucks and evidently intended
to bluff McKenzie, but McKenzie is
not the bluffing kind and he promptly
proceeded to knock the negro
down and was about to shoot him
when his brother, Ross McKenzie,
interfered to save the negro's life
and a three cornered fight ensued, i
Tina narrrri morlo Lie nnH IlimTV- I

ed into another negro's buggy and
commanded him to drive him off,
which the negro did.
McKenzie found that they had
both been outdone by the Brownsville
hero, Ted McKenzie being *cut
on the leg and Ross on the hand.
However, they and others chased
the negro for a considerable distance
and it is supposed that the negro
took refuge in the swamps not many
miles away.
At any rate he has not shown up
again. Mr. Ross McKenzie was in
the city today and had his hand bandaged
from the cut of the negro's
razor.

Tillman Takes Issue With Kilgo.
Durham, N. C., Mar. 13.?Senator
B. R. Tillman, of South Carolina, in
a lecture'in Oxford last night demanded
an explanation from Dr.
John C. Kilgo, president of Trinity
College, in reference to a speech recently
made in New York by the latter.
Tillman says, "I have learned that
an eminent citizen of my state says
that I do not represent the best people
or Sentiment of the South. To
know what he meant I will arrange
a meeting with Dr. Kilgo to decide
who does represent the best people.
I swear I represent South Carolina
when I say that we will never again
have negro domination there."
Not Crazy But Honest.
Tr?1?1 Til 4-Un no
ivaiiKa.Ket, m., yi racnw mc astounding
case of a man who has
been driven crazy by an increase in
his wages. His employer voluntarily
added $15 a month to his pay. The
/ man could not understand it, and
declared that he couldn't do better
work for the higher pay than he had
been doing for the old rate. His
fellow workers laughed at him, but
the queer fellow insisted that if he
got more money he ought to do better
work. He made an effort to improve
on his work, and when he failed
to do it the matter preyed on his
mind to such an extent that his
reason was unseated. We shall
probably never again hear of such a
case.
Price too Cheap.
Isaac was a horse trader. He had
a number of horses on hand and was
short of feed. He sent young Ikey
to a nearby farmer to inquire what
; he would charge to board the horses.
Ikey came back with the report that
the farmer asked three dollars per
head a month. "You must get them
down, it's too much, talk to 'em
again." He went and came back
saying that the farmer was down to
two dollars. He was dispatched off
aerain. the price was still too high.
The farmer came down to one dollar
this time and next time to fifty cents
per head. "Ah" said the happy
father, "Ikey, you're shmart; fifty
cents is cheap enough, but go and
1 ask the farmer how much he will allow
me for the manure." Ikey came
back and said: "The farmer said
that at that price there wouldn't be
any manure."
Girl Helps Kill Wolf.
Bedford, Ind., March 13.-Miss
Lulu Cobb, seventeen years old, is
the heroine in the killing of a gray
timber wolf at Springville. The wolf,
which had been living off sheep and
poultry of the Perry Township farmers
for several monxhs, was scared
ud in Monroe County and was chased
by men and boys toward Springville.
On Caleb Cobb's farm it took refuge
: in a cellar of an unoccupied house.
Miss Cobb saw it enter and telephoned
from the house to her father,
i Then she procured a gun, closed the
; cellar door, and guarded the wolf
until Ira Anderson arrived,
i She was denied the privilege of
shooting it by Anderson, who feared
it might escape, and he shot it him,
self. Miss Cobb gets the skin, however,
which measures 5 feet 10 inches
from the nose to the end of the tail.
, Just before the wolf reached the
cellar it had a fight with three dogs,
killing all of them.

RABENS GETS THREE YEARS.
Appeal Taken to the State Supreme
Court However.
Columbia, March 12.?Rudolph
Rabens, who was convicted at Walhalla
of receiving stolen goods knowing
it to be stolen, today appeared
before Judge Gary in Columbia, with
his counsel, R. T. Jaynes, of Walhalla,
and Solicitor Boggs and by consent
the sealed sentence against Rabens
was opened.
It was found that he had been sentenced
to labor on the public roads
of Oconee county for three years or
a like term in the State penitentiary.
tMr. Jaynes stated to the judge
that they considered the sentence
excessive in view of the testimony,
but the judge said it was not in his
opinion excessive and that had the
other two counts against Rabens
fteen tried the result might have
been worse for him.
Mn Jaynes explained that the rea
son Rabens was not present wnen
the case was called for trial was that
he had been advised that the case
could not be reached in the docket
and that there was no use for him to
go to Walhalla.
This was the fault of his counsel
for which the attorney apologized
and said that they had deposited
a -cash bond of $5,000 with the
clerk of the court at Walhalla yesterday
for the appearance of Rabens at
any time and the attorney gave
notice of appeal to the Supreme
Court. Rabens is stopping at a
hotel.
fir. Black on Town Politics.
Editor The Bamberg Herald: I
notice you are calling on some one
to declare himself a candidate for
the office of mayor of our little town.
In regard to this I wish to say that
as I see it I think the wise thing to
do is for our people to seek the man.
There is a great responsibility on a
man in office. On him depends very
largely what is and what is not done;
whether law and order is observed or
hot, on him depends very largely
the morals of our town. A bad officer
generally# means a bad town.
Why? Because they wink at evil doers
and punish them not, and I will
leave.it with the citizens at large to
answer or to say if there is much
done to check evil in our town;
whether the officers from the mayor
down to our night police are alert 01
not as to their sworn duties. What
we need in our town at the head is a
man who believes in everything that
is right and against everything that
is wrong, and with this faith have
the nerve to take a firm stand for
the right and not be moved. Hew
to the line regardless who he chips
off. If any one steps over the line
cut him off and make it interesting
for him or her; as the case may be;
give a square deal: equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
We have plenty of law breakers ir
our town, such as gamblers on high
order and gamblers on low order;
we have them through the week and
also on Sunday, and our officers
know of the fact. We also have
men who sell goods on the Sabbath
on the quiet, and our officers know
it. We also have blind tigers in
our town with their eyes wide open,
on/1 /vnr nflfirckre lmnw it. We have
U11U VV?* V*A4VV?W w. ... ..
men who carry concealed weapons,
and we also have young lads whc
carry them, yea more, we have small
schoolboys who carry them, and oui
officers know it. We have men who
get drunk and stagger on our streets;
we have men who curse and swear
on our streets; we have men whc
blackguard on our streets, and oui
officers know it; and we have vagrants
on our streets, professional
loafers, and our officers know it.
We have reckless driving on our
streets, and we have filthy streets,
and we have many other evils in oui
town that I could mention, but these
will suffice, and I say our officers are
largely to blame for a large amount
of these evils.
What we want is good, pure, clear
men in power, not only our little municipal
offices, but from the president
of the United States down tc
the coroner, then we would have
- J ' ? ^ lUa.. kn
gooa laws ana mey wuuiu ucouivu;
enforced. So let us as citizens oi
Bamberg look for that pure, clear
man of God and cast our vote foi
him. This is the only way you wil
ever have a good, pure, clean town
.Let us as men and fathers take 2
stand against these evils and get then
from before our boys. Let us n<
longer wink at these things.

[CASE OF TOO MUCH TONGUE Jj
DRAMATIC SCENE IN METHODIST
CHURCH IN WALHALLA.
Rev. J. C Yongue Repudiates His Re- >'M
marks About Presiding Elders
and Hakes Apology.
Recently Rev. J, C. Yongue, a
Methodist preacher, now in charge of
, the Walhalla circuit, wrote a letter
to C. W. Creighton, editor of the
Christian Appeal, and said letter was
! published in Mr. Creighton's paper.
[ i^n this letter Mr. Yongue was disposed
to resent his being moved from
Clarendon county and sent to .the rm
; up-country. He also made references
to the presiding elders and the percentage
plan of raising their salaries, ;fjg
intimating that because he was op
posed to the percentage scheme, he
was sent to a smaller and less important
charge.
Last week the Southern Christian
. j .L- XL.
Advocate, tiie uuiuoi uig<ui vx vuo
Methodist chureh in this State, repub\

! editorially, calling on Mr. Yongue to v|8
explain his utterances and other mat- .
ters connected with the letter.
The next scene in the drama was :!
enacted in the Methodist church at ^fl
Walhalla last Sunday. Monday's State
; giv^s the following account of what
happened: JS
"The Walhalla Methodist church
was the scene yesterday morning of
| a most unusual and highly dramatic
service when its pastor, the Rev. J. tj|
C. Yongue, with unsuppressed emor .
tions and deepest humility, repudiated
his recent utterances that have ,,'1w
gone the rounds of the press in regard
to the presiding elders of the South
Carolina conference and their per
ceniage scneme. #
"The last annual conference sent
Rev. Mr. Yongue here, and since his yM
, arrival he has made a most favorable 1
impression upon all on account of his , Vj9
, deep earnestness and scholarly ser- -vjj
mons. It is common talk, with no ^ ~ }M
disparity to those who preceded him, ^
that he is the ablest preacher that .
- the Walhalla charge has ever had. Vjl
. His people believe in him, and when
his articles appeared in the papers ill
. they let it be known that the great .

One may imagine the surprise to *
i congregation when he, with tremb-' ;; vsm
; ling voice and tearful cheek, stand- 'jM
ing, not in the pulpit, but within the Sj
chancel, uttered the most humble V
apologies for his recent acts and
said that he at one time ,believed
; that he was right and was doing a
noble service, but now without any
5 outside influence his conscience was ?J|
telling him in no unmistakable tones
r that he had" done great wrong to JjjB
t those whom he had charged as being v ^
( tyrants and cutthroats. He said -"M
. that he still believed that there were !
j wrongs in the church that should he fM
, righted, but he had not used proper \
methods in correcting this evil,

T. Jaynes, chairman of the board of 7jw

i "Rev. Coke D. Mann arose and

[ ' 'The many members feel that their /d$
