Boyd has received a let ? ?? ? < ii _ m.'ix ter from L?pt. nuaiey 01 tne umua A company, stating that Jesse Bryson, a former member of his company, is in the Spartanburg jail charged with * selling his uniform, a violation of the military law of this State. It is probable that the case against the man will be dropped upon the payment of all costs but Gen. Boyd stated most emphatically that the . military companies must take better i care of the property issued which belongs to the government. The next violation reported will be prosecuted. ?The State. ' Xr? : : s TIMman is flissed. Senator Tillman is much missed in the Senate. When well he is usually indiis s at during the sessions, and generally has something to say on evx ery measure up for consideration. 7 One of the Senator's strongest characteristics is his ability to cope with any situation, and he most alV ^ ways masters the same. It was some - time before the people of the United fitntoa understood the South Caro I linian. The time has passed when he , is stigmatized, and when he arises to speak hisTiearers give respectful attention. Among his closest friends 4 in public was the late Senator George ' F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, who early discerned the good in Tillman's i character. Senator Hoar admired the poetic v - side of the hardy Southerner, and the ? intimacy between the two men, representing, as they did, two sections * of the country, at variance on so ; many questions, was interesting and ' touching to the members of the Senates?Washington Herald. <: Negro Kidnaps Deputy.

West says the negro marched him to Riverside. There the nejpo made him get ipto an empty freight car which he then i closed up and made his escape. West finally succeeded m getting out of the car and returned here today. Officers are still searching for the negro. Carlisle Fitting School Notes. ' - Well, we did not meet with tfye luck that those Clemson College boys did as a result of the April fool escapade, but we are getting real tired > staying in fifteen minutes longer after school hours than the girls who had a picnic, in order to make up the time lost April 1st. We are beginning to realize now that we did wrong, and there is not much danger of another trick of its kind again in the ^ near lutiu c. Mr. W. Powell Hale will lecture at the chapel next Monday evening, the 20th, being the next number of the lyceum course. Mr. Hale has been i here before, and those of us who heard him can tell you that there is ; certainly a treat in store for us. The C. F. S. boys will play the Bamberg first nine a game of ball at Carlisle park this (Wednesday) after* noon. The C. F. S. boys defeated the Bamberg team in the last game, and now they believe that they can make it interesting for even the college exball players, and even with that great twirler in the box who has signed to l play professional ball with Rock Hill. Perhaps that walk to Denmark and the defeat that we gave the Denmark boys on April 1st did good to the ball team. We have have been winning pwr since, anvwav. Several of the students are talking ^ of going home to spend Easter. Prof. J. C. Guilds has gone to Darlington to attend the State convention of the Epworth League. We have arranged with the 0. C. 6 I. to play two games on the 20th and 21st, next Monday and Tuesday, at $ Carlisle park. Of course we are to beat the visitors, and what we want is for the people to come out and see us put it on them to a finish. Come . out, root, and help us to enjoy the ' games with the visitors. > Rev. T. G. Herbert will teach Prof. Guilds's classes until he returns. Cadet. ";v"; ^ v.- ; SHIPMENTS OF LIQUORi Bill Reported in the United States Senate on the Subject. After extended hearings and exhaustive argument by the members of the senate committee on the judiciary that cofcimittee on Monday agreed upon a bill dealing with the shipments of liquors from one State or territory to another state or territory. The measure will be reported by Senator Knox, chairman of the sub-comrfiittee, which conducted the hearings. It provides that there shall be no collection on delivery packages of liquor shipped in interstate commerce; that the name of the consignor and consignee shall be stated plainly, and that no fictitious names shall be used. . Appeals to Chief Justice. Washington, April 9.?Attorney General Frazer Lyon, of South Carolina, and his assistant, A. W. Rountree, of the Atlanta law firm of Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson, were in Washington this morning to get Chief Justice Fuller, of the supreme court of the United States, to issue a writ of supersedeas against Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, of Asheville, N. C., in the South Carolina dispensary case, involving the disposition of $800,000 of dispensary funds. This money is now in the hands of the South Carolina dispensary commission, and the effect of the writ will be to prevent its payment to the dispensary receivers, thus holding the case in statu quo untjl it has been reviewed by the United States circuit court of appeals, at Richmond. The several banks in which the fqnds are deposited were required by the commission to put up collateral in an amount corresponding to the deposits each received, and this collateral has been sequestered by the commission in the state treasurer's vaults to keep the receivers appointed by Judge Pritchard from getting their hands on it. Although Judge Pritchard has ordered money and collateral turned over to his receivers by the commission on demand, the receivers have not yet made formal demand for it, and Mr. Lyon desires to have the writ issued by the supreme court before such demand is made. Chief Justice Fuller, it is under - j stood, has reserved msdecision, penning the receipt of an answer to a letter written by him to Judge Pritchard. Treatment for Volubility. "Abernethy was supposed to influence people by a brusqueness amounting to absolute rudeness. It is related that one day a very voluble lady took her daughter, who was ill, to see him. , "Which of you two wants to consult me?" said Abernethy. "My daughter," replied the elder woman. Abernethy then put a question to the girl. Before she hafl a chance to reply her mother began a long story. Abernethy told her to be quiet and repeated the question to the girl. A second time the woman began a story and a second time he told her to be quiet; then she interrupted him a third time. "Put your tongue out," he said to the Another. "But there's nothing the matter with me," she exclaimed. "Never mind, put your tongue out," he commanded. Thoroughly overawed, the woman obeyed. 4 'Now keep it out," said Abernethy, and he proceeded to examine the girl. . Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York, has been endorsed for president by the Republican convention of that State. Sad Accident at Govan. "Last Saturday afternoon at Govan Jasper Gunnels, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gunnels, was shot and instpitly killed by Maripn Kennedy, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kennedy. It was an accident, and happened at the home of Mr. Kennedy, where the little Gunnels boy was visiting, Mrs. Kennedy being his aunt. The little Gunnels boy was nine years old, and the little Kennedy boy eight years old. The two boys were in the room playing, when Kennedy picked up the gun and begun to handle it. Gunnels was jl AT 1 A #?TTT T?;?_ airaia ana leiu me iwm. a icn mmutes later he came back and the Kennedy boy picked up the gun a second time when it was discharged. It was a heavy army rifle, old style, carrying a very heavy bullet. The ball hit young Gunnels on the cheek and went through his head, knocking out his brains. Death resulted instantly. The bullet went on and grazing a window kept on and no one knows where. It is said the gun would kill at almost half a mile range. Young Gunnels was a good boy, gentle and obedient, and all concerned are very sad over the accident. The bunal took place at Georges Creek church Sunday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. D. L. Roton. It was indeed a sad accident, and but emphasizes the danger, of loaded fire arms around the house where there are children. ! Sale of Dispensary Property. Columbia, April 10.?Very few bids have been received so far by the state sinking fund commission for the old state dispensary property. The general assembly provided that it should be sold for not less that $75,000, which money should go to the school fund. The i property is very desirable and it is not thought that there will be any difficulty in disposing of it after the advertisements nave been carried for sixty days. t 9 PREFER TILLMAN TO TAFT. Threatened that 4^ 2 roes will Knife I President at the Polls. Washington, April 12.?A letter addressed to Representative Rainey, : of Illinois, by Walter S. Thomas, chairman of the Ohio-Afro-American ! League, with headquarters at Colum- i bus, Ohio, was read in the House of j Representatives yesterday. Thomas, ! referring to a speech some time since ! in thp House in renlv. to the one by 1 Mr. Rainey, declared that the ne- < groes of Ohio "refused to be led like dumb driven cattle to the voting i booths and there cast their ballots for < President Roosevelt, his Secretary of ; War or any man he may see fit to sup- : port for the President of the United States at Chicago." The letter points out that a grave ; injustice was done the negro race in < the Brownsville matter, and states that the negroes of the country will support no candidate for President : who does not stand squarely upon the i broad principles of justice. In con- elusion the letter says: ; "We have almost reached that point where we can say thank God for Senator Tillman, for we believe him to be at least honest in his expressions and we believe him square j in his life. I am absolutely convinced of this one fact, that should Secretary < Taft be nominated at Chicago for : President of the United States the colored voters of Ohio and of the ' whole United States, 95 per cent of : them at least calculation, would cast i their votes for the straight Demo- i cratic ticket for President or remain ' away from the polls, thus making the i election of a Democratic President practically certain." Man Hanged at Norfolk. Norfolk, Va., April 10? Leo L ] Thurman, of West Point, Ky., wss i hanged here to-day for the murdsr ] on February 1, 1906v of Walter P. i Dolzen, of Michigan, his room mate, 1 whose body he packed in a trunk and then fled, being captured 18 months = later a? Vancouver, B. C. The Execution was one of the quickest and most successful that ever oc- 1 curred in Virginia. Without hand- J cuffs or unassisted, Thurman, drink- 1 ing and smoking a cigarette, walked j from cell to the gallowsin the jail yard. , He asked for time to kneel in silent j prayer and stepped upon the trap, i which was sprung at once. Thurman made no statement further than : a declaration that the murder or ? Dolzen was in self-defence after provocation. A letter from Thur- . man's aged mother in Kentucky was ( delivered by a special messenger shortly before the execution, which , he answered. Tillman Improving Fast. Atlanta, April 10.?Reports from the sanitarium indicate that Senator Tillman is improving even more rapidly than expected when he came here. To a friend who saw him for a few minutes this morning he said he was feeling considerably stronger, but realized his danger and expressed his purpose to avoid all forms of mental excitement for some time to come. He walks around the sanitarium, but has not yet ventured to the city. He proposes to lead an absolutely quiet existence for the next six weeks or two months, sailing for Europe as soon as he feels he is strong enough to stand the trip. Club Meeting.
