dispensary accounts for this opposition.
The investigation was what
killed the State dispensary.

murder. None of them were sentenced
to hang, as they should have

even convicted of murder with recommendation
to mercy.

Liquor in Aiken Jail. ]
A very peculiar fight occurred on 1
i Saturday night, in the city jail. <
Three of the city prisoners serving ]
sentences were in jail over night, i
Saturday afternoon, it was charged, 1
Jerry Minor visited the jail and gave T
the prisoner, Press Dorn, a pint of 1
whiskey. Thi3 pint was augmented ]
a little later by a half pint given by i
Maria Kinard to the prisoner, Ar- <
menia Street. With a pint and a half '
then in stock, the three prisoners,
Armenia Street, Amos Myers and
Press Dorn, began to celebrate in
a typical Saturday night manner.
When they were placed in jail they <
were allowed the freedom of the jail (
room, and not confined to cells. Af- c
ter they had consumed the bottled *
goods, they began to get rowdy and '<
were soon fighting. Dorn struck <
:^>s Myers in the mouth, and then the ?
woman took a hand in the fight. An (
officer visuea tne jan, auu jl/uiu uau to
be clubbed and the woman slap- 1
ped to make them submissive. 1
They were then placed in cells. <

doors they were soon out in the halls 1
again. Next time they were placed
in cells with new locks on the doors. <
Jerry Minor was given a sentence (
of $5 or ten days for giving the pris- <
oners liquor. Maria Kinard has not yet
been apprehended, but will have J
to face the same charge as soon as <
she is caught. <

Negro Church Blown Down. ^
Learned, Miss., Feb. 14.?A storm 1
struck this place from the north- ]
west about 2 o'clock this afternoon
with terrific force, blowing down a
negro church, killing Dick Harris'
wife and one child of Maggie Bennett,
and injuring eight or 10. About 1
75 persons were in the building at 1
the time. If it had not been for the j
arched ceiling they would all probably
have been killed.
Logical Result.
"Where are you going, my pretty '
maide?"
"I'm going a-milking, sir." she saide.
"Then I want to marry you, my pretty
maide,
For I own the water-works here," he

So they were married, egad, and they ;

FIREI) INTO TRAIN.
Tliviliiig Experience of Two Fayetteville
Men on A. C. L. Train.
Saturday afternoon's Fayetteville
Observer has the following:
Hon. J. G. Shaw, ex-congressman
of this district, and Col. Sol. W.
Cooper, manager of the National
bank of this city returned from a
business trip to South Carolina last
night, and report a thrilling experience,
the result of an outrageous act.
They were on the train bound for
Columbia and at 11 o'clock, when
a short distance from Florence with
the train running at full speed, a bullet
crashed through a window, which
Mr. Shaw was sitting next to, and
not six inches from his head, and
only a little further from Mr. Cooper,
who was sitting next to Mr. Shaw.
A second before that a ball had
crashed through a window ot tne
second class coach just ahead, but
fortunately no one was hurt in either
case.
Only a short time ago a prominent
citizen of South Carolina was killed
in this same manner.
This sort of thing makes one feel
unsafe to travel through South Carolina.
The train was not stopped and
the person who committed this fiendish
act was not seen.
That Church at Livingston.
There has been quite a stir in
church circles of late over a report,
that has been going the rounds of the
press, to the effect that a Methodist
church had been built in the town of
Livingston almost entirely by contributions
made from the profits of the
county dispensary. Knowing the position,
hitherto, occupied by the
Methodist church in regard to the
whiskey traffic in all its forms, we
vere not inclined to attach any very
jreat importance to this report.
Later developments, however, show
:o our humiliation and grief that the
-eport was, in the main correct. Livingston
is a small town in Orangeburg
county, in the bounds of the
Norway circuit. Notwithstanding the
fact that Livingston is but a small
;own, it appears that the county dispensary,
at that point does a most
;hriving business, so much so that
:he town authorities were not able to
11 +Viic* cnn
lse an iiit; revenue uuui uV?.w
ri public improvements, and conseluently
entered into an agreement
vith Rev. J. A. Graham, who was
;hen serving as pastor of Norway cir;uit,
to use a certain sum in building
i Methodist church.
How any minister could get the
jonsent of his mind to build a house
>f worship with the funds, that had
Deen derived by this source is a ques;ion
that must ever puzzle every right
:hinking man.
Mr. Graham is credited with sayng
that he accepted this dispensary
noney on the advice of his
presiding elder, Rev. J. W. Kil?o.
Mr. Kilgo, in a private let;er,
says that the matter was never
mentioned to him during his adminstration
as presiding elder of the Oringeburg
district directly or remotely
?that his first information that a
;hurch had been built at Livingston
ivas an editorial notice in a recent issue
of the Southern Christian Advocate?that
he did not even know
here was a dispensary at Livingston.
The Methodist church has occupied
rery high ground in the matter of
temperance reform during all the
rears of her history. Her warfare
igainst king alcohol has been constant
and unrelenting. She has
waged many hard-fought battles with
:he minions of the bar and the
arothel, and in this glad hour of vic:ory,
when the arch-fiend has raised
:he flag of truce and is negotiating
;erms of final surrender, to have her
-ecord stained by the folly of those
inder her vows and bearing her crelentials
is a question that taxes our
patience to the limit. The Methodist
church is in no way responsible for
;he faulty judgment and warped
deals of those responsible for the deplorable
affair at Livingston, and
will, in all likelihood, at the proper
;ime and place, repudiate the whole
jusiness. And it goes without sayng
that this church will never be revived
by the annual conference.?

Convicted Oil Concern Pays Fine.
Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 15.?On
the ground that the Waters-Pierce
3il Company of Missouri has not
;omplied with the ouster decree of
;he supreme court of the State, in an
mswer filed this morning Attorney
General Major filed with the court a
suggestion that the ouster be made
effective against the concern. The
iction of the attorney general is
3ased upon the fact that the company
las - not furnished satisfactory evilence
that it has severed its connection
with the Standard Oil Company.

laid upon the company by the recent
auster order of the court. The fine
$50,000 was paid.
The ouster decree provided that
the company must show to the court
that it had severed all connection
with the Standard Oil Company. A
statement to this effect may yet be
required br the court.
Judge Priest, however, said that
tie believed to-day's action covered

. Newspapers in the School.
An experienced teacher says that
pupils who have access to newspapers
at home, when compared with
those who do not, are better readers,
better spellers, better grammarians,
better punctuators, and read more
understanding^, and obtain a practical
knowledge of geography in almost
half the time it requires others.
The newspaper is decidedly an im-?
portant factor in modern life. This
will not be disputed by any one who
has taken the trouble to investigate
the matter for himself.

HEARING COMES TO AN END
THREE OF DEFENDANTS RELEASED
BY MAGISTRATE.
Arnold McAIhany and Meriiman
Reeves Detained on Charge oi'
Murdering Game Warden.
St. George, Feb. 12.?One of the
most remarkable and extended preliminary
hearings ever held in South
| Carolina ended here this afternoon,
when Magistrate Moorer decided that
three of the men arrested for the
murder of Pressley Reeves be released
from custody. These were Tom
Fairey, Charlie McAIhany and E. O.
Arant. The two men who will be held
for trial at the circuit court term in
April are Arnold McAIhany and Mer
jiiiija.il ucevcs.
J This action was not received with
any great surprise or dissatisfaction.
It was the claim of the defense that
no chain of evidence had been forged
by the testimony and that the few
links that existed were weak. This is,
of course, a rather broad statement,
but even to those of most neutral
mind it appeared that the evidence
was not connected or very definite.
From the beginning of the proceeding
the defense was able to handle
the witnesses much more easily than
had been anticipated by the lookeron
in St. George. Of course, often,
as in the instance of some negro witness,
this amounted to little more
than a bad distraction of thought,
but some of the material witnesses ,
were contradicted in their statements.
Decision Not Unexpected.
The general impression here in St.
George where the defendants are not,
to say the least, particularly well regarded,
appears to be that the decision
was about what was to be exDected
in view of the testimony. '
Many still confidently believe that the !
three men now free were more or
less connected with the death of 1
Reeves, but these, too, admit that
the men should not have been longer
detained in view of the evidence sub- !
mitted.
There was very little testimony to- :
day before the arguments. One witness
practically refused to disclose
anything asked.
This morning the magistrate ruled
that evidence tending to show bad
feeling between the defendants and
the dead man could be introduced,
but that testimony showing animos- i
ity towards his surviving relatives
was not competent. This prevented
Merrick Reeves from relating the 1
feuds which are said to have existed
for many years.
The Men Arrested.
Tom Fairey is short and small p.nd
not particularly intelligent in appearance.
He has been segregated from
" Vior nriDrtnorc in Tail 3flH it. WAR
because of his statements that yesterday
his attorney, John Jones, asserted
that the detectives had tried to
persecute him at the instigation of
Weeks. Rumors were heard now and
then that Fairey would turn State's
evidence in the event that he was
prosecuted with the others. This idea
probably arose because one of the
witnesses stated that Fairey had remarked
that he knew all about the
murder of Reeves and would tell it
when the proper time arrived.
The two McAlhanys bear a strong
resemblance. Arnold, who has a
rather weak and loose mouth, sat
with parted lips and watched the
proceedings with keenest interest.
Arant, who is an elderly man of
some 50 years, has recently been
paralyzed and one of his arms is crippled
as a result. He is reported to
be worth about $20,000 and has
borne a good reputation with some
people, although the Pressley Reeves
faction accuse him of indiscriminate
seining and dynamiting in the Edisto. 1
^lerriman Reeves, who is also held,
is a thin, scrawny young man, with a
sandy moustache. His mother, who
has been in court constantly, is an
aunt of the dead man.
From all reports the section of the
county, (a little west of Branchville
and Reevesville) appears to be as
thicklv DODulated with McAlhanys as
the Anderson-Abbeville line is with
Ashleys. Necessarily Merrick Reeves,
the father of Pressley, would have no
love for these people and he was
probably actuated to an extent by
prejudice when he told the long story
of family bitterness and trouble that
existed over a period beginning as
far back as 1881. But there is little
doubt that he has bee:i persecuted.
There was the inevitable church row
and a difficulty arising over a school
house which he himself erected. One
incident he related as illustrative of
Merriman Reeves' character was that
this man let a sick and glandered
mule into his uncle's land so that the
cattle might be infected. Merrick '
Reeves is over the half centurv mark,
but his big, loose frame can stand as
much strain as it ever could. His
face is notably strong and resolute,
and in it are set as soft and beautiful
a pair of brown eyes as ever graced a
man or a woman. He is intelligent
and kindly.
The intimidation story came out
to-day. It is said by one of the officers
that a brother of one of the
McAlhanys went to certain negro
witnesses who had testified and said:
"We will get you in time," or words
to that eifect. It was because of
anxiety lest witnesses be suborned in
the period intervening between the
preliminary and the trial that Mr.
Weeks introduced so many witnesses
at this hearing. Credit must be given
this attorney for much untiring work
on the case. He is extremely interested
in it.
Pressley Reeves Brave Man.
The dead man's reputation for
courage is quite noted. In view of the
bad feeling between the Reeveses and
those afterwards arrested, his father
advised him not to become the game
warden of Dorchester. However, he
did so. was commissioned on a Saturday
and on the following Tuesday
night his two mules, the reins dangling
loose on their flanks, pulled
home a wagon load of grisly freight.
Reeves, fired on from ambush, had
fallen forward and for nearly a mile
the blood, first gushing, then dropping
more slowly from his horrid

The proceedings were quite naive
in some respects. On the first day the
witnesses were supposed to be segregated,
but during the dinner period
they w^ere at large. Considerable delay
ensued in getting witnesses to the
Btand and painful slowness characterized
a large part of the examination.

THE COOPER TRIAL.
Witnesses to Killing will be Called
First.
Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 15.?On the
eve of the trial of Duncan B. Cooper,
Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharp
for the slaying of former Senator E.
W. Carmack, the factions are, figuratively,
resting on their arms. Most
of the witnesses for the State, who
are from a distance, are in the city.
The others are on the way. Mrs. E.
W. Carmack, wife of the slain editor,
arrived to-night and will sit behind
the attorneys for the State. Sam C.
Carmack, the dead man's brother,and
S.S. Carmack,a cousin, are now here.
The State proposes to establish
first the death oi Senator Carmack
by the eye-witnesses. Then it will begin
to lay the foundation for its
theory that the killing was the result
of a conspiracy. Just at this point
will come the big legal battle of the
trial. The defense proposes to fight
this contention from the start. The
laws of Tennessee upon conspiracy
are said to be very liberal once the
groundwork is laid, but this founda-|
tion must be very strong.
The State's early witnesses will be
Mrs. Eastman, with whom the Senator
was talking when shot; former
State Treasurer Ed Craig, who carried
Col. Cooper'^ threats to Senator
Carmack; Carey Folk, brother of the
State treasurer, who saw the defendants
standing near the scene of the
tragedy a few moments before it happened.
Just what line the defense
will follow, except the broad one of
self-defense, has not been announced,
nor will it be until the State's case
in chief is made. Attorneys for both
sides were in conference until late tonight.
Both sides also have in their
employ secret agents in number, and
every stranger in the city is subject
to close scrutiny and espionage.
There is little or no display of feeling
in public, however.
The court officials have prepared
to take care of large crowds. Judge
Hart has ordered that only as many
as can be accommodated with seats
will be admitted to the court room.
No tickets will be issued, and those
who arrive-first will get the prizes.

MASQUERADING AS WOMAN.
Youth Says He Got Money After Men ^J?
Had Wined and Dined Him.
New York, Feb. *12.?James Daly, . ^
a slender youth, who was arrested in . .
Yonkers while masquerading in fern-'inine
attire, admitted that he had ik A
been posing as a young woman for^^i&i
the last four nights and flirting with
men in order that he might rob ;|g
them.
Daly was captured after conversing
with a detective who became
RnsnirimiR that his female companion
was not a woman and later proved,
his theory by tearing off Daly's wig. : ^
'My reason for masquerading,"
he told the police, ''was that I need-:
ed money and found that by dreefr> / J&flj
ing in woman's clothes I could mix
freely in crowds. After being wined
and dined by men, I found it easy ? Pj
to take all they had from their pock- \
ets and by this means and sleight of '-jJ
hand I usually got the money."
Niagara Falls Frozen.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Feb. 14.?^;:^^
Only a tiny rivulet, not deep nor
swift enough to carry a pulp log Over:t|#J|
the brink, is flowing over the Ameri*,<
can side of Niagara Falls. A strong-... ^
t,nrthosQt wind which has blown . 1
UV/t bUVMMV -? ? ?
since Friday has held back the water
and allowed the ice to gain- a ? I
foothold.
A great wall of ice runs from the
head of Goat Island to the American
mainland, through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle. Thli
wall has even enarpached on the
Canadian channel, extending . out a
some 200 feet beyond the Third Stater
Island and greatly diminishing
the flow over the horseshoe. Only >
the very apex of the Canadian fall is |j
left and that is robbed of half its *
flow. The gorge below is chokjed ; pi*
and the rapids have lost their fury, A
while the whirlpool is barely in motion.
This is only the third time that
this combination of wind and ice haa. j^
thus affected the fall since the white
man came here. The other occasions ;
were March 29, 1848, and March 22, '
