Tillman Suspects Taft. ^
New York, Aug. 24.?A Washington,
Ohio, dispatch to the Tribune
.says:
"Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
is not backward in expressing t
his views on the subject of Republican
presidental timber. In answer
to a question, Senator Tillman said:
" 'I do not believe that the fact
that President Roosevelt is, on the
face of it, backing the effort to nominate
Secretary Taft for the presi' /
. dency will serve in any degree to
strengthen the chances for the secretary's
nomination. In my opinion Taft
will hurt his prospects if he attempts
4-a oe o ct-rvnl rkirrorm orirl ruarcnrml

representative of the president. If
he stands as the representative of
Taft rather than of Roosevelt he will
be much stronger before the peo...
pie.
*" 'Really, however, I thing that
the president is after this nomination
himself and that his present maneuvering
is for the purpose of getting
.the situation so tied up that a deadlock
will result in the Republican
national convention, and that the
president hopes and expects it will be
stampeded to him?nominate him by
acclamation and hand the nomination
to him on a silver platter, with assurance
from the convention that he is
the only man who can lead the Republican
party and the country out
the wilderness. The president did
not tell me this, for I never call on
him, you know, but this is what I
think.
*' 'WVinrvi T fl-wnb- fl-io T?anilHH

cans will nominate for the presidency?
Well, Governor Hughes surely
will get the New York delegation
to the national convention. He seems
to have made himself popular with
the people of his state and his
chances of securing the nomination
seem to me to be better than those
of any other man now mentioned.
With such a state as New York back
of him he will be a power in the convention
from the very start.' "

NEW SOLICTOR APPOINTED.
Senator Wells, of Florence, Succeeds
John S. Wilson.
Columbia, August 23.?Senator
Walter H. Wells, of Florence, has
been appointed by Governor Ansel
solictor of the 3rd circuit to succeed
the Hon. John S. Wilson, who resigned
to accept the position of judge
of the same circuit, an office also
made vacant by the resignation
of Judge R. 0. Purdy, of Sumter.
The resignation of Solictor Wilson
became effective on August zu, ana
the appointment of Mr. Wells become^
effective at once. He will enter
upon the duties as soon as he
qualifies. Judge Wilson will don the
ermine on September 1st.
The term for which Mr. Wells is appointed
solictor expires January 1,
1909, and the election will take place
next summer for the four year term.
It is presumed that Mr. Wells will at
once resign from the Senate, and
this will necessitate the calling of a
special election to select his successor.
Our New York Letter.
New York is to be invaded by the
'' Hoiv JumDers.'' 4The sect is known
as the "Pentecostal Union". It
holds articles of incorporation under
the Colorado State laws and has
thousands of members out West.
To live by faith and preach against
the evils of the day is its mission,
the leaders claim.
The leader is a man named Bridwell,
and he pours forth utterances
on this order: "The cities of the East
are cursed with fallen churches and
hireling pastors. The ministers have
truckled to those who pay them their
salaries until they no longer have a
shred of spiritual independence. If
they preach the truth they lose their
positions. We have no salaries. God
provides for our wants. We will
preach in New York against the
short comings and sins ot tne day
and will dance undoubtedly, while
the dancing is not exactly a part of
our ritual it attracts people to hear
what we have to say."
. Shades of Paul, Luther, Wesley,
Whitfield, Moody, 'jumping' to draw
people from the way of the world.
These apparently zealous folks imagine
they are going to regenerate
Broadway. They have decided to
hold their meetings in the heart of
the 'tenderloin' section, and hundreds
of thousand ,passers will halt,
listen, pass on, as they usually do.
Some there will be who will accept
the new form and join the "Holy
Jumpers" just as there were in the
days of Dowie. For follies New
Yorkers should be given the palm.
Here no matter how ridiculous, the
heterogeneous population always furnishes
some food for any freakish
movement.
The "Jumpers" will preach, dance
and sing right in the heart of the
city. TTie invading zealots are to
number sixty male and female. Be1
" mhinVi Jn_
tween men jumping, mnui includes
every manner of step from the
dervish's whirl to the sailor's hornpipe,
they will warn New Yorkers
of destruction that is bound to come
in the 3hape of a pillar of fire. They
will endeavor to interest the people
of the city, and if successful will establish
here as in Denver, their parent
city, a missionary (?) school.
They will rely omtheir jumping and
dancing, the men in bloomers and
the women in blue flannel skirts, to
gain the town's notice. At any stage
of the "Holy Jumper's" meetings
the inspiration to dance is likely to
seize the members.
With a shout of joy one begins,
others follow. Perhaps the first
"moved" begins by waltzing alone
around the ring. Another joins him,
they grasp shoulders and the waltz
livens into a movement like a very
rapid two step. Then they stop,
face each other, and whirl like dervishes,
ending their performance by
jumping high in the air and sometimes
half turning before reaching
the ground.
Excited by the dance, singing and
shouts, others join. The women
skip about like school girls, seize and
I^vorr nnu anntVior in+n pirc.lp. Rv
uia^ viiv- v?.w ~? ? ? - ?^
and by the whole assemblage is whirling
and jumping and shouting, but
the women never dance with the
men. The whole performance is intended
to typify the religious rites
of the ancients. And still it is claimed
we are a civilized nation.
Dowie's invasion was a signal failure;
it remains to be seen how the
"Jumpers" will succeed.

Yorkville "New Era" Sold.
Yorkville, Aug. 25.?The printing
outfit, consisting of presses, type,
etc., of the late New Era newspaper
was sold at public auction on Saturday,
under foreclosure of mortgages
amounting to about $400.
It was bought by J. S. Brice, Esq.,
attorney for Creditors, for the sum of
$150. It is rumored that an effort

company to take hold of the plant
and make additions to it, and secure
the services of a competent newspaper
man and establish an up-to-date
newspaper and do a general printing
business. From expressions that
have been heard there is quite a
probability that a strong company,
with plenty of capital, will be organized.

OIL COMPANY WILL CONTINUE.
Anderson Concern will not Go into
Liquidation.
Anderson, August 24.?At a
meeting of the stockholders of the
Anderson Phosphate and Oil Company
held here to-day it was decided
to continue the business and not go
into liquidation. Capt. E. A. Smyth
was elected president. The affairs of
the company were found in better
eVinnp than was crenerallv thought
and it has been the money stringency
that has caused the trouble. The
stockholders were in session three
hours and most of the stock was represented
in person or by proxy. It is
probable that several of the out of
town oil mills will be sold and the
directors will begin at once straightening
up the affairs of the company
and to relieve the financial situation.
The meeting has brought about a renewed
confidence in the company, and
it is a matter of congratulation that
it will not have to go into bankruptcy.
Anderson Girl Meets Sad Death.
Anderson, August 26.?The waters
of the Portman dam claimed a
beautiful girl victim this afternoon,
when Miss Carrie Bailey, the 19-yearold
daughter of Mrs. Carrie Bailey,
was drowned.
Miss Bailey, in company with Misses
Estelle and Fannie Beck and Mr.
! Belton Diwer, of this city, went up
I to the bath house, which is at the
I upper edge of the dam, and were in|
tending to go in swimming. Along
the side of the river was stretched a
I small wire on which the three young
ladies were sitting, when suddenly
it broke and they were hurled into
i the river backwards.
Mr. Divver succeeded in rescuing
[ the Misses Beck, but before he could
reach Miss Bailey her body sank from
! view and was not recovered until an
hour later.
Miss Bailey was to have been mar
^ ~ r TT~i TT
ried on September iy to Mr. r . n.
Walker, of Elberton, Ga. She was
a very popular young lady and her
death was a great shock to her many
friends. Her mother runs a boarding
house at Portman Shoals.
The wire on which the young ladies
were sitting was a very small one
and was stretched along the bank of
the river. The young ladies were
sitting on it and were swinging when
it broke. i
Negro Killing in Saluda.
Saluda, Aug. 26.?Hamp Henley,
colored, shot and mortally wounded
Ed Wilson, another negro, on Saturday
night near Kempson's ferry, in
this county. Henley came to Saluda
yesterday morning and surrendered
to the sheriff and is now in jail.
Wilson married Henley's sister and
they recently parted. The shooting
was the result of a row over Wilson's
wife's "things."
Henley fired upon Wilson with a
shotgun and wounded him in the leg.
There being no one present, Wilson
was left lying in the road, where he
bled to death from the wound.
Railroad Assessment Raised.
The figures on the assessments for
xi -i j_ J? i :
ine ranroaus uumg uusmess m ouuui
Carolina will be made public in a few
days. The assessments were practically
decided upon by the State board
of railroad assessors some time ago,
but there has been much discussion as
to the basis for taxation.
It is understood that the Southern
railway has been assessed on a basis
of $20,000,000, which is a raise of
about $6,000,000, and the Atlantic
Coast Line on a basis of $14,000,000,
a raise of about $3,000,00. There has
been no material change in the assessments
of the Seaboard Air Line railway.
On the increased assessments the two
roads would pay $45,000 additional to
the State on the 5-mill levy for general
purposes and $27,000 on the constitutional
3-mili tax for schools, not
to speak of an average of 4 mills for
general purposes in each county
through which the roads pass.?Columbia
State.
, Slightly flixed.
This is told as an actual happening
to a Kansas man. He and his family
had gathered around the suppertable,
and all heads were bowed for
him to ask a blessing, when the telephone
bell rang. The man answered 1
it; and, coming back to the table, ,
again bowed his head, but again the
the telephone, rang. He answered
that call; then for the third time
seated himself and, bowing his head,
said, "Hello!"

HANDSOME CHURCH BURNED.
Bennettsville Presbyterians Lose
Building they Had Just Erected.
Bennettsville, August 24.?The
splendid new Presbyterian church
here is in ashes. At 4.30 o'clock this '
morning fire was discovered in the
southeast corner of the basement.
It spread rapidly till the building
was consumed. ;
The church had just been complet- (
ed. The pews were put in yesterday
and the library moved in. The building
cost $20,000 and was the hand- ;
somest church edifice in the eastern J
part of the State. The Presbyte
rians, led by their energetic pastor, <
Dr. Bunyan McLeod, labored earnestly
and faithfully to erect this i
beautiful house of worship. They still <
owe $9,200 on the building and had
only $8,000 insurance.
Fortunately the new pipe organ
and the can>et had not been put in. ;
Opinion is divided as to the origin j
of the fire. Some firmly believe that
it was incendiary. Others think that ;
a match or cinder from a cigar was
dropped into some trash by the work- j
men, who finished putting in the .
pews yesterday afternoon. Others <
are of opinion that it was caused by
defective wiring for electric lights. i
The town's hand fire engine was in
Hinson's stables, on the opposite side
of the street from the Presbyterian <
church, but nobody got there to opprate
it in time to even make an at
tempt to save the burning building, j
It was got into action after the (
church had practically burned down, \
and was used to prevent other buildings
from catching. 1
Mr. McLeod, the pastor, is away.
He was given a vacation during Au- (
gust, and is supplying a church in Bos- ]
ton during the vacation of its pastor. ,
The people of the town of all denominations
deeply sympathize with him ?
and his members in their heavy loss, j
People Rally to the Rescue. .<
Bennettsville, August 24.?A
Subscription for the rebuilding of the ]
Presbyterian church was started on 1
a blackboard in front of the Planters'
National Bank this morning. A. J. 1
Matheson headed the list with $2,000.
All day as citizens passed they stop- <
ped and wrote their subscriptions on 1
the board. At noon the amount was
over four thousand dollars and at 7 1
p. m. this evening it is $7,502. Old
subscriptions and the insurance will

pay tne maeDueaness. inesuuscnptions
today are for a new building. <
THIRTEEN CENTS FOR COTTON. *
Spartanburg County Association Fix- <
es Minimum Price. j
Spartanburg, August 24.?The
county cotton growers' association,
met here today and passed a resolution
that thirteen cents be fixed as
the minimum price of cotton. Mr. J
J. H. Gosnell was elected delegate to
the meeting to be held in Columbia, i
August 30, for the purpose of finding 1
out the wishes of the various county j
associations as to what shall be the 1
minimum price of cotton. (
The association decided to organize (
a spot cotton exchange for the pur- 1
pose of selling cotton in b.ulk. The
members will be assessed a small fee
for the purpose of paying the expense i
of the man handling the cotton. {
Negro Murdered in Laurens. !
Laurens, Aug. 26.?After an in- <
terval of several weeks another ne- 1
gro murder.is recorded in Laurens. 1
Last night Constable Elledge; of (
Sullivan township, brought to jail *
Mose Herbert, who is charged with \
shooting and killing another darky 1
by the name of Ned Roseman near ^
Boyd's mill. The killing occurred
about 4 o'clock and is said to have
been the result of a dispute between J
the two men over 50 cents. Only <
one shot was fired and Roseman was {
killed instantly.
Judge Aldrich Unwell.
Columbia, August 26.?Judge i
James Aldrich has written Governor i
Ansel to ask for leave of absence un- i
til December on the advice of his ?
physicians, who do not think that the
Judge will be able to hold court until {
that time. Judge Aldrich states that \
he will be unable to preside at the t
term of court for Richland county,
which opens in Columbia next week.
The Governor, on his return to the
city, will appoint some other Judge .
nr some snecial .Judcre to act in the
place of Judge Aldrich.
Decayed Spots in His Cotton. !
Barnwell, August 23.?Mr. J. M.
Easterling, one of the largest plant- c
ers of this section, brought in yesterday
from his farm a number of cotton
bolls which had several decayed
spots upon them and upon examina- }
tion it was discovered that the spots i
were rotten through and through.
Mr. Easterling immediately express- t
ed a number of bolls to the depart- \
ment of agriculture at Washington c
for analysis. Great fear of boll we- s
vil is expressed among the farmers.

WHITE HAN HELD.
iH
Charged With Attempted Criminal
Assault in Saluda.
Saluda, Aug. 25.?Mike H. Mitchell,
a white man about 35 years old,
vas lodged in jail here last night,
charged with attempting to commit
iriminal assault upon his wife's
younger sister at his home yesterday ;:_
if ternoon. In the evening an urgent
phone message was sent to thesher- .
ff asking him to come to the home
)f Mrs. Mary Witt, the mother of
:he young lady as soon as possible.
\11 efforts to ascertain the nature of
:he trouble were unavailing until
Sheriff Sample returned last night
ivith Mitchell and placed him m jail.
The story of the affair as related
;o the sheriff is as follows:
Mitchell went to the home of his
nother-in-law and stated that his
arife was preparing to go out for the
ifternoon and wanted to see h'er sis;er
before going. On reaching her
lister's home the young lady went in -$1|
md as soon as she entered Mitchell
Allowed, closing the door behind
lim and locking it. * Mitchell's wife
md children had already gone away
md this was the method employed
)y him to get the young lady to his }?
lome. Failing in his foul purpose he
mlocked the door and the young
ady went home and reported the af- ?
air. It is stated that Mitchell folowed
her part of the way, begging
ler not to tell it and threatening to ' M
nil her if she did.
As soon as the affair became known
irmed men appeared and trouble of
i serious nature was feared and it is
jrobable that they would have taken
;he law in their own hands if Mitchell
had been found. The sheriff
bund him near his father's home /il
ind took him into custody. Mitchell *
lenies the whole affair.
The young lady is held in the highjst
esteem by the people in that com- .
nunity. Mitchell is a son'of Mr.
P MifpVioll rm<a nf flip most

lubstantial as well as one of the most
lighly esteemed men of this county. ' \?|
The sheriff was undetermined last J9
light whether to place Mitchell ill
ail here or to carry him to Columbia. is
t is now thought that no effort will m
>e made to harm Mitchell since it
las been known that he has been ar ested
and is now in the sheriff's cua- i;|
The social standing of the two famlies
involved makes the whole affair ' i||
i most deplorable one.
Mitchell Taken to Columbia.
Saluda, August 26.?Acting upon ' -.SB
nformation imparted to him late
his evening, Sheriff Sample is now
eaving Saluda for Columbia withtlike
H. Mitchell, the young white
nan lodged in jail here Saturday
tight charged with attempting to . ;3|
ommit a criminal assault upon a
roung lady in his home. The infornation
coming to the sheriff was
trought by good men, and acting
ipon it to avert trouble, he is carryng
Mitchell to a place of safe-keepng,
there, being danger from all re- . ^
torts of a raid being made upon the ,/4
ail at this place at any moment.
Feeling is running high in the secion
where the outrage occurred. It > jHj
s stated that a number of men went " Jg
o Chappell's Saturday night, where
hey thought the sheriff had gone ~
vith Mitchell to board the train for
Columbia. They havo now learned
