ACCEPTS COMPROMISE
House of Representatives Accepts
Straddle of Senate.
By a vote of 45 to 41, the house
adopted the senate amendments to
the prohibition bill, introduced by
Senators Christensen and Williams
and referring the whole matter to a
vote of the various wet counties.
This was not done, however, until
Representative Richards made a vigorous
protest and urged that no compromise
be made. This amendment
was in the nature of a compromise,
he said, and the prohibitionists were
fighting for a principle and not for a
compromise. There was not much
debate on the amendment and the
vote was taken within 20 minutes
after the Senate sent over the copy.
Many of the members were out of the
house and there were about 30 not
voting, in addition to the pairs.
The lineup on the vote presented
an ^interesting situation. The local
optionists were divided on the question,
as were the prohibitionists.
Some of the local optionists wanted
to* fieht the entire matter out and
if possible send it to free conference,
with the hope that it would be killed
there. Mr. Richards, one of the leaders
in the fight for prohibition, found
* his own forces divided, Mr. Kibler,
who had voted with him, urging the
passage of the amendment. So the
vote was not what might be called a
"factional test." There was no
doubt early in the morning session
;% hut that the amendment would be
passed, but the smallness of the majority
was somewhat of a surprise.
V After the passage of the resolu%
tion, Mr. Hall had a resolution introduced,
which was that the house
felt themselves in nowise bound to
not work for prohibition at the next
-session. The resolution was not considered,
however, as it was brought
up after Mr. Hall left the city during
the afternoon session. The vote on
the motion of Mr. Richards to re.
fuse to concur in the Senate amend- i
ment, which was defeated, was as fol- (

When the amendment was brought
. over Mr. Richards at once moved <
non-concurrence.
Mr. Kibler wanted the amend- <
ment adopted. He had supported the
prohibition bill and considered the
: light had been won in part. A compromise
was better than nothing and
it was a step in the right direction.
Mr. Richards' Position.
Mr. Richards then explained his 1
position. It was no individual fight,
but a matter of principle. After 10 1
days of continued work the house
had put itself on record as favoring 1
State-wide prohibition. It would be
'* a shame to recede from this position.
He thought The State newsnaner.
the leading exponent of local s
option, had correctly stated the idea I
when it said editorially that a compromise
m^ant that nothing would
be done on the liquor question if this 1
- compromise was adopted. It was ^
, known to the newspaper that this *
would be proposed and it might mean *
V the defeat of prohibition; at least 1
that was the idea oi the local option- 1
Pists. There was no doubt but that
the newspapers muddled public t
opinion and their influence on this
question was not to be despised. <
. The vote was then taken, after 1
Mr. Fraser moved the previous ques- 1
tion, stating that it had been discuss- (
ed enough and he believed the 1
house was ready to settle the dis- S
Upute- 1
As soon as the result was announc2v
ed and the clincher put on the action 1
of the house in concurring in the 1
Senate amendment, Mr. Sawyer
moved to recall the bill from the engrossing
department, it having been j
ordered for enrollment. He thought {
it should be thrown in free confer- j
ence and did not see how the prohi- <
bitionists could consent to have such '
a bill rammed down their throats and
did not see how the local optionists <
could consent to the passage of such ]
a measure. Anyhow, there were er- i
rors in the wording and he was opposed
to any such legislation.
Mr. M. L. Smith, in a point of parliamentary
inquiry, which was sus- 1
tained, held that the bill had been 1
ordered for enrollment and that now J
nothing could change the bill. He did not
want to be misunderstood as <
changing his position, but he thought
an action of this kind would be out of
order. When Speaker Whaley announced
that the point was sustained
the fight was ended and the house
turned to the consideration of other
matters.
There is now some questions as to
the election. No funds are provided
for holding the election and unless
ordered by Gov. Ansel no election can
be held. Should it be held, the general
assembly will have to make an
appropriation for the expenses and
even then it is not believed that a
half dozen counties will change their
positions.?Columbia State.

ARRESTS IN SEMINOLE CASE.
John V. Garlington Arrested in Chattanooga.
John Y. Garlington, of Laurens,
has been arrested in Chattanooga as
a result of further proceedings in the
celebrated case of the Seminole Securities
Company. Two requisitions
have been issued in the case by Gov.
Ansel?one against Garlington and
the other against Garlington, J. S.
Young and M. J. Jeanes, all being
connected in some capacity with the
concern. Sheriff Coleman leaves today
for Nashville with the requisition
papers.
The case is familiar to the public.
The action for a receivership after
the purchase of the Southern Life
Insurance Company, the meeting of
stockholders, at which time new directors
were elected; the charges
mat me saie ui siuuk was ai au exorbitant
price and that Garlington
and his associat :s took a part of .the
margin on the sale of stock, have
been published and created much
comment at the time of the proceedings
in the courts.
It was announced when the Lcigation
ended that criminal proceedings
would be commenced against Garlington
and other directors, and the
warrants for the arrests were issued
yesterday. The charge against Garlington
is obtaining money under
false pretenses and the charges
against Garlington, Jeanes and
Young are breeches of trust with intention
to defraud.
While Garlington is under arrest,
the others have not yet been served
with the papers, although it is probable
that when the announcement
is made that criminal proceedings
are pending all will make arrangements
to give bond.?The State.

Columbia, S. C., Feb. 23.?Wash
Hunter will go to the penitentiary
for eight years. The supreme court
has affirmed the opinion of the circuit
court in the case of the State
vsv G. Wash Hunter, who was indicted
in the court of general sessions
for Laurens county on the
charge of the murder of Elbert F.
Copeland, in that county. An order
was made changing the venue from
Laurens county to Greenwood county,
which on appeal, was affirmed by
the supreme court. The trial in
Greenwood county resulted in the
defendant being convicted of the
crime of manslaughter and sentenced
to the penitentiary for the term of
eight years. From this judgment the
defendant appealed, his first position
being that the Greenwood general ;
sessions court had no jurisdiction
5ver an offence committed in Laurens
county. Error is next imputed to the ;
circuit court with respect to the admission
of testimony.

MAR RY IN HASTE.
Greenwood County Widow Soon Tires
of Second Husband.
A romantic wedding occurred here
Saturday evening in the office of Mr.
J. L. McKellar's livery stable. It
seems that B. F. Vincent, of Cross
Hill, advertised for a wife and as a
result corresponded with Mrs. Nina
Goldman, a widow, who lives near
Breezwood, in this county.
Vincent, who is a man about 55
years old, arrived here Saturday afternoon,
hired a team from McKellar's
stable and went to Breezwood
after his bride-elect. It was their
first meeting, but they came on to
Greenwood without further ceremony
and were married at the above mentioned
stable by Rev. J. T. Moore
late Saturday evening in the presence
of four or five witnesses. After the
ceremony the couple left for Cross
Hill, where the groom lives.
Monday the lady returned and annpunced
to those present at the stable
that she had decided that she did
not like her husband ana tnat snenaa
left him without and formality whatever.
Some one suggested that it was
hoped that they would become reconciled
and that they would live together.
She replied that she did not
see how anybody could wish her
such bad luck?in other words, she
grew tired of Vincent in a short while
and no one would be surprised to
hear her join in the chorus of "No
Wedding Bells for Me." She has returned
to her former home.?Greenwood

Southern Life Settles.
The Southern Life Insurance Company,
of Fayetteville, N. C., has paid
to the receivers of the Seminole Securities
Company the sum of $109,650
in cash. This is the final settlement
between these two companies,
with the exception of a matter which
is to be settled in a court of reference.
It will be recalled that last October
the Seminole Securities Company,
through John Y. Garlington
and others, paid to the Southern Life
Insurance Company, or some of the
officials thereof, a certain amount of 1
money for what was supposed to be a
controlling interest in the life insurance
company. However, the deal
turned out badly, for it was represented
that one H. J. Heber had received
some $80,000 for getting the
transaction put through. The subsequent
investigation is familiar to the
public.
The settlement arrived at Saturday
night between the attorneys and receivers
is said to terminate the suit
brought against the Southern Life by
the Seminole company. The attorneys
of the respective sides are said to .
have signed papers in keeping with
the terms of the agreement above set
forth. ,
There is yet one matter in abey- .
ance, the $22,700 paid to H. J. Heber ,
on the 24th of December by Jno. Y. !
Garlington, after the publicity had j
been given to the scandal in the ms:t- j
ter and receivers had been applied .
for.
The terms of settlement mean, iu ,
effect, that all of the cash paid by the \
Seminole company to the Southern .
Life has been returned, and that the
court of equity is to decide who shall .
lose that $22,700. The State is in- ,
formed that the transaction between ,
the two companies in final settlement
is approved by all the receivers and
by Mr. John G. Shaw, attorney and
representative of the Southern Life. ,
Child Left in Church. J
New York, Feb. 22.?"Look in 1
confessional box on the left hand side *
is you go into the church and you 1
will find a child." A note with these 1
words was handed to Miss Mary 1
Huntman, a sister of the Rev. Hunt- 5
man, pastor of St. Joseph's Roman
Catholic church in Harlem. J
An investigation was made imme
Jiately and sure enough there was J
the baby. The child is a fine, healthy '
coy, only a few days old. It wore a 1
white dress and a white lace cap and 1
was wrapped in a woolen shawl. {
The Rev. Father Doyle was busy 1
oaptizing some children when the lit- '
tie foundling was discovered and it 1
was taken to him and baptized witli
the others. The name Michael Joseph <
was given to it. 1
Senators Straddle.
Columbia, Feb. 26.?Refusing b^ s
a vote of 28 to 9 to adopt a State- 1
wide prohibition bill and by a vote <
Df 28 to 11 to pass a State-wide j
referendum bill, the Senate to-day ;
passed the prohibition measure with ]
the Christensen and Williams i
amendments, after a lengthy discussion
as to what was really the agree- i
ment of the evening before. <
During the discussion, Senator 1
Otts, one of the prohibition leaders, <
charged, in effect, that there had 1
been a breach of faith among those 1
who had reached this compact ar.d 1
asked the prohibitionists to consider !
where they were in the matter.
The bill, as finally passed in the
Senate to third reading, provides for
State-wide prohibition in the counties
of the State from the first Tuesday
in August until the third Tuesday
in August, when an election
shall be held in the counties now
wet. This election is to determine
the policies of the wet counties, as to
whether they shall retain the sale of
whiskey.
The right is reserved to the dry
counties, as under the Carey-Cothran
act, to vote upon the question.
Serious Fire in Kershaw.
Kershaw% Feb. 27.?At noon today
a conflagration occurred at the
cotton seed oil mill. The damage will
aggregate $25,000. The fire originated
in the building that contains
the larger part of the machinery and
material, such as linters, etc. The
loss would have been greater had
the fire company not rendered such
valuable help. The company not long
ago increased its capital and is one
among the best mills in the State.
The company proposes to repair the
damages and have the mill operating
in six weeks.

CRUSHED BY TRAIN.
Vandy Smith, a Southern Brakeman,
Killed Near St. George.
St. George. Feb. 23.?Vandy
Smith, a Southern railway brakeman,
was instantly killed by a train
about two miles above here some
time last night. The way in which
the young man met death is not definitely
known, but it is presumed that
he attempted to alight from the train
while in motion. His home is but a
few hundred yards from where he
was killed, and it was probably his
intention to get off there. The body
was terribly mangled, and the identity
of the dead man was revealed by
a railroad pass which he had on his
person.
Coroner Kizer held .an inquest this
morning and the verdict of the jury
was to the effect that death was
caused by being run over by a train,
although no testimony was taken.
Mr. Smith was about 25 years of
age and unmarried. He leaves a
large family connection in this community,
among whom are two broth?

One Hundred and Thirty Miles An
Hour.
The electric locomotive has its
steam brother badly whipped as to
speed, and it only remains to build
tracks that will bear trains at over
one hundred miles an hour to learn
just what can be expected of the
electric trains. At the celebrated
Berlin Zossen speed trials in 1903
there was established the amazing
130 miles an hour record, the fastest
that any man or man-made machine
ever traveled. It is almost two
hundred feet a second, or equal to
the speed a man would attain in falling
from the top of a twenty-story
building. It is a speed so great that
a deflection of one of the rails of an
eighth of an inch is sufficient to
throw a train off the track. It is so
fast that the front of the locomotive
has to have a great knife-shield
to cut the wind, which otherwise
would either check the speed or
crush in the front of the engine.
A train running at this frightful
speed of 130 miles would circumnavigate
the globe in a week. It would
place the Pacific within twenty-four
hours of the Atlantic. Will such a
thing ever come to pass? Perhaps.
A hundred years ago thirty miles an
hour was a marvelous speed; now it
is common. If a train can make 130
now experimentally, why may not
this speed be common in the year
2000?
Address to Cotton Growers.
To the Cotton Growers:
A year ago I strongly urged you to
reduce the acreage in cotton and
grow more feed stuffs. It seems from
the acreage report last year that only
a part of the growers reduced their
acreage and in some sections a small
Increase was shown. The result has
been about as I predicted, the lowest
prices we have had for several years.
It now Iooks as n cne crup win unug
around $550,000,000, or over $50,000,000
less than last year's crop,
which -was nearly 2,000,000 bales
smaller and taking the cost of growing
the fxtra 2,000,000 bales it
means a loss to the South of over
$100,000,000.
The time has arrived when you
must decide on the acreage for this
season. I strongly urge you to reduce
pour acreage in cotton at least 10 per
sent. and raise more grain and hay,
30 you will be more independent at
marketing time. When the spinner is
issured there is enough cotton grown
to supply his needs he is very independent
and will only buy at cheap
prices. With a possibility of a shortige
he is a very eager buyer.
While the consumption for the first
lalf'of the cotton year ending March
L will likely be a little less than half
the crop, the consumption the last
lalf will be very much larger, so that
we will likely have about the same
risible supply that we had last season,
30 that we should raise next year at
least 1,000,000 bales less than the
jonsumption in order to get good
prices for it.
Now, don't think that every one
rise will reduce and you can plant
more and get a big price, for that is
what too many of you did last season,
[t will take a uniform reduction in
jrder to get the proper results. You
3hould only plant enough so that with
Hip most favorable conditions the
crop would not exceed 12,500,000
and if weather conditions reduce the
Field to 11,000,000 you will get more
money for it than if you raised 12,500,000.
I hope that every merchant reading
this article will call his farmer
customer's attention to it and urge
the reduction. It is the extra hundred
million dollars the cotton crop
brings that makes trade good through
the South. I suggest that meetings
be held in every school house in the
South Saturday, March 7, so that uniformity
of action may be taken.

Williston Negro Whipped.
Williston, Feb. 23.?The negro
Afnvps who aDDeared at the home of
Dr. Willis here on Saturday night
and who was afterwards arrested
and placed in the guard house, was
taken therefrom and carried to the
outskirts of town, where he was
given a whipping. Mayes was located
this afternoon at his father's home,
near Edisto river.
It seems that Mayes had been
drinking and came to the house,
where his wife cooked, presumably to
pilfer. The family of six adults,
however, had not yet retired. He
was seen beneath a window too high
to enter. The inmates feared no
danger from him, as he had been a
family tenant for years. The pistol
was fired in order to frighten him
away.
The affair was deemed unimportant
by the family, and the officers of
the town anticipated no trouble.

White Man Commits Suicide.
Lynchburg, Feb. 28.?This town
was indeed shocked yesterday morning
when the news came of the tragic
death of Mr. C. J. Tomlinson, who resided
a few miles south of this town.
It seems that Friday afternoon Mr.
Tomlinson left the house, ostensibly
for recreation, as he has of late been
a great sufferer from nervous trouble
and very despondent, and on
reaching a rather secluded spot in a
skirt of woods about 200 yards distant,
severed the large artery in his
neck with a razor, from which he
bled to death, apparently without a
struggle. He first, it seems, cut a
vein near his ankle, and presumably
this process proving too slow, he
took off his coat and collar and cut
his throat. Although a diligent
search was made by a number of
neighbors, the body was not found
until late in the night. The razor
was tightly gripped in his hand, and
hard to get out, although he had
been dead for several hours. He had
many inenas in mis piace ana was
popular wherever known.
Near Death in Big Pond.
It was a thrilling experience to
Mrs. Ida Soper to face death. "For
years a severe lung trouble gave me
intense suffering," she writes, "and
several times nearly caused my
death. All remedies failed and doctors
said I was incurable. Then Dr.
King's New Discovery brought quick
relief and a cure so permanent that
I have not been troubled in twelve
years." Mrs. Soper lives in Big
Pond, Pa. It works wonders in
coughs and colds, sore lungs, hemorrhages,
lagrippe, asthma, croup,
whooping cough and all bronchial affections.

Elopers Caught in Spartanburg.
Spartanburg, Feb. 27.?Mimms
Manley and Mrs. Minnie Smith, the
latter said to be the wife of a minister
in Franklin, Ga., who eloped from
that place two weeks ago, were arrested
at Clifton last night by Sheriff
Wausley, of Franklin, who traced
them to Spartanburg.
The warrant for the arrest of the
elopers was sworn out by the husband
of the woman. Mrs. Smith
seemed to be very much in love with
Manley, for she patted his cheek
most affectionately after they had
been taken in custody and gave him a
kiss. She did not relish the idea of
being taken back to Georgia, for she
made use of several words that
would not look nice in print.
The Lurid Glow of Doom

and nothing could save him. "But,"
