TILLMAN AT WHITE HOUSE.
)
Pays First Visit There in Seven
l'ears.
Washington, April 20.?A visit to
the White House after seven years'
absence was paid to-day by Senator
Tillman of South Carolina and he
received a cordial greeting from
President Taft. His appearance in
the executive offices created a sensation.
"
The senator walked to the White
House unaccompanied, but left with
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, riding
to the capitol with the latter in
his automobile.
Booker T. Washington was waiting
to see the president when Senator
Tillman arrived. The South Carolinian
was immediately shown into
Mr. Taft's private office. The call
was purely of a social nature, it w&8
declared. ; , ,
"I came," said Senator Tillman,
"to see if the office seekers had fried
any fat off the president, but they
haven't fried a pound."
Asked why he had never visited
the White House in the past, Senator
Tillman replied, "I waited until
a gentleman got here."
"It's not necessary to make a nine
ddys' wonder of my visit to President
Taft," said Mr. Tillman after
his return to-the capitol. "We have
always been good friends, and I
have frequently .gone to see him as
secretary of war. Whether he has
inherited his office from Roosevelt
or been elected by the people there
is no reason for any one to suppose
that he has inherited Roosevelt's
meinness."
Mr. Tillman said that he merely
went to the White House to say good
morning to the president and to express
his "gratification upon having
a gentleman there."
"I have no favors to ask of the
president and no advice to offer,"
said Mr. Tillman. "I .would nave
gone to see him sooner had it not
been for the fact that I have been
out of the city. I have taken the
first convenient opportunity to call
upon him."
While at the White House Senator
Tillman saw Booker Washington for
the first time.
"I was very curious to see him,'
Baid Mr. Tillman, "because it enabled
me to draw my own conclusion
as to the percentage of white blood
there is in*him. It is over half."
Asked what impression he formed
of Washington, Mr. Tillman replied:
"Booker Washington is considered a
great negro, and he has great intellectual
powers. He has a Jesuitical
face. If he had not been engaged
with a lot of people about him, I
should have gone up to him and
chatted with him. I would like to
discuss the race question with
Booker Washington. I would like to
ask him a lot, of questions."
The Oldest Prohibitionist.
Chicago, April 16.?The eponym
of far-famed Clark street is in town.
He is William 0. Clark, of Dry
Town, Amador county, California;
ia the oldest prohibitionist on earth,
being 92 years of age; has not had
a drink of intoxicating liquor in 75
years, and after a trip up and down
his former favorite thoroughfare, remarked
that "no, it seems to* be pretty
well irrigated."
' Mr. Clark is visiting his son, H. O.
Clark. He says this is the first
time he has seen Chicago* since they
used to call it Skunk village. His
father, he declares, owned > the territory
on both sides of what is now
downtown Clark street, but sold it
long before the big jump in land
values. At-prohibition headquarters
he said:
"I signed the pledge 75 years ago,
and I haven't let a drop pass my lips
from that time to this. I hadn't
been a drinker before that, mind
you. I just signed up because that
was the way my folks had been doing
for six or eight generations. It's my
experience that in order to get a real
good prohibitionist, you've got to
start two hundred years back. Get
the right kind of ancestors and posterity
will take care of itself."
Mr. Clark attended the meeting of
the Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of Good Templars in 1869,
which resulted in the formation of
the national Prohibition party. He
was chairman of the World s Temperance
congress, which met in Independence
hall, Philadelphia, in 1876.
While he wasn't battling with the
"demon rum" Mr. Clark was fighting
Indians. He served in Captain
Sisson's company, Illinois Volunteers,
in the Black Hawk war, and
to-day is the only survivor of that
organization, which contained more
than a hundred men. Seventy-four
years after the-close of that war, he
applied for a pension. It was granted
in May, 1906.
To Move Offices.
Charlotte, N. C., April 20.?There
is no longer any doubt that the general
offices of the Southern Power
Company will be moved to Columbia.
One of the high officials of the
company stated to-night that the
step had been decided upon and that
the move would be made within
eight months, outstanding contracts
and obligations making an earlier
change impossible. The reason given
for the move is the fact that Columbia
is the logical centre of the corporation's
developments and therefore
the proper place from which to
direct its immense interests. It is
stated that men are already in the
South Carolina capital making arrangements
for the transfer. The
change is a heavy blow to Charlotte,
removing as it does a hundred high
salaried men and the prestige the
headquarters of the big concern carried
to the country at large.
IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading?Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.
The oil mill building at Belton
was destroyed by fire, last Sunday
night about dark. The building
was not used for an oil mill, but for
various other enterprises. T?e lossis
about $6,000.
The anti-dispensaryites of Aiken
county held a meeting last week and
organized for the approaching dispensary
election, to be held this
summer. 11 is saia muse uppuseu
to the dispensary will make a strong
fight to vote the dispensary out of
the county.
Maj. Marcus B. Stokes, of the
United States army, has been detailed
as commandant of cadets at
Clemson College, he taking the
place of Capt. J. C. Minus, who resigned.
Maj. Stokes was born in
Hampton county, and is a brother of
Rev. Peter Stokes, who was pastor
of the Methodist church here a few
years, ago.
The Southern Power Company
closed Rocky Creek dam Tuesday
night at 12 o'clock. The first power
generator in station was run Wednesday
at noon. This Is the second
large plant at Great Falls. Rocky
Creek station is a sister plant to the
Great Falls station, on Catawba
river, both stations having an equipment
of 40,000 horsepower. This
plant will be hurried into service and
will furnish power to Chester, Spartanburg,
Greenville, Lancaster and
other points along present lines.
The first automobile damage suit
to be heard in Charleston county was
tried Saturday, resulting in a verdict
for D. P. Vincent against J. C. Jaudon
for $1,400. It is said that the
man was not actually hit by the machine,
but in jumping out of its way,
he twisted and sprained the ankle.
In reaching its verdict the jury seems
to have been guided by the alleged
general recklessness of Jaudon, who
is a member of the sporting fraternity,
it is said, and is able to stand
the damage charged up againBt him.
Capt. J. C. Minus, who recently resigned
as commandant of cadets at
Clemson College, is out in a statement
savine that the reason he re
signed was because of the interference
of President Mell in matters of
discipline. Capt. Minns does not
give a very roseate account of affairs
at Clemson. President Mell
has replied, and while he evades
largely the statements of Capt.
Minus, he says the conduct of the
cadets is exemplary under the acting
commandant, Prof. Bramlett.
Some of the trustees will have nothing
to say.
Santee River Cypress Lumber
Company' have a corps of surveyors
at work surveying the entire valley
of the Congaree river, and it is said
that the purpose of this work looks
to all acquirement by this company
of all, or most, of the timber contiguous
to the Congaree river. This
company now owns over 200,000
acres of land and offers are now
pending which may result in greatly
enlarging this territory. When it
is considered that this acreage is
largely in excess of the constitutional
requirement for the creation
of a' county, its magnitude can be
appreciated.
W. C. T. U. Notes.
Wo Mnnnt nlar?P tnn hieh a value
on the formative and educational
phases of the temperance movement
Let us work and pray that there may
come to the church and to the hearts
of our people a Christ-like desire to
eradicate this accursed evil from our
land. The only failure that can
come to the Christian reformer is the
failure to adhere to that which is
right. Peace, purity, total abstinence,
and prohibition?on theSfe
four "hang all the law and the
prophets" of the temperance reform.
The liquor tribe will rage
awhile longer; but God is on His
throne; He has uttered His voice;
the liquor traffic is doomed to destruction.
The Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is not only antisaloon,
but anti-brewery, anti-distillery,
anti any form of alcoholic liquor
making, or liquor selling, for
beverage purposes. \
Shakespeare wrote, "Oh! Thou invisible
spirit of wine, if thou hast no
name to be known by, let us call thee
devil."
As the eleventh commandment
given us by our Lord and Savior is
applied more fully to the customs of
society and the laws of our land,
this evil spirit in like proportion win I
be cast out from the heart and the
home, the community and the nation.
Kill the Mosquitoes.
It would be a fine idea if city council
would purchase a few gallons of
kerosene and pour it in the ditches
which drain the town. It is well
known that stagnant water breeds
mosquitoes, and yet a few gallons of
kerosene put into the ditches would
prevent their breeding and add much
to the health of our people to say
nothing of the comfort. We hope
this will be done immediately, and if
it doesn't do good, we'll pay for the
oil.
While we are about it, let's have
the back lots cleaned up and lime
used in the stables freely and thereby
kill out the flies. With the mosquitoes
and flies put out of business
largely, our citizens will be more
comfortable and healthy this summer.

NEGRO UNDER ARREST.
Harvey Bradford, Bitten by Converse
Girl, Captured.
Spartanburg, April 14.?Harvey
Brauiord, a mulatto negro, was arrested
at 9 o'clock last night by
Chief of Police R, C. Hall, Officer F.
n. Jounson and Constable J. H.
Heckneli on the charge of burglary.
The officers have positive prooi that
Bradford is the party who entered
the room of Miss J una Reed, of the
sophomore ciass of Converse College,
Sunday morning of last week, and
who was severely bitten on the hand
by the young lady m the scu e in
which he tried to stop her from giving
an alarm by holding her mouth.
It will be remembered that the party
left Miss Reed's room in such haste
that he dropped his hat. The hat
was the clue that the oncers worked
nn
J. P. Stevens, who keeps a store
on Green street in the Spartan mill
village, sent a hat to B. B. Henry, a
tailor, to be cleaned up and remodeled.
Henry sent the hat to the house
he deals with in Charlotte and had
the work done. When the hat was
returned Stevens decided not to take
it. On December 24 Henry sold a
suit of clothes and this hat of
I Stevens' to Harvey Bradford. The
name of Stevens was written on the
sweat band of the hat by Henry before
he sold it. The negro did not
finish paying for the suit and hat.
The last payment was made on February
2 and he still owes $1.50 on
the trade, <
Having found out the particulars
about the hat, Chief Hall and his
assistants went to work to locate the
negro, Harvey Bradford. They learned
to-day that he lived on the farm
of Supervisor D. M. Miles, about
three miles south of the city. Tonight
they went to the house where
Bradford lives and found him at
home. When they saw Bradford's
hand all swollen up they were doubly
sure of their man. Bradford, as
poon as he learned that he was going
to be arrested, swore that he
would die first, and proceeded to
fight the officers. After a lively scuffle
he was subdued and brought to
the city and lodged in the county
Jail.1 Bradford claimed that he had
rot his hand hurt in a belt at the
Crescent knitting mills. The officers
knew this was untrue, for they had
already learned before leaving town
tthat this negro had summoned a
physician Sunday afternoon after the
scuffle at Converse College to dress
t?io wrmnripd member. The officers
have quite a number of proofs as to
the identity of their man. It will be
remembered that a strong scent of
tobacco, as of a pipe, was smelled in
Miss Reed's room after the encounter.
>When Bradford was arrested
last night the officers took from his
person a very strong pipe. Bradford
will be given a hearing berore Wag?
istrate Whetmore this morning.

Indian Still in Jail.
"Indian George" or George Deerhorn,
as he calls himself, is still in
jail at Gaffnfcy, in default of the $500
bond which was required of him by
Magistrate Ligon for his appearance
at the next term of court for this
county. In the meantime John R.
Smith, the proprietor of the carnival
company, has brought suit in Newberry
county for claim and delivery
of the two bears which he alleges
Deerhorn stole from him at Blacksburg
also for several other animals,
which Smith claims that he purchased
from George or Deerhorn and
which are also in Newberry county.
It is the opinion of some who are
conversant with the facts in the case
that George has been imposed upon
in the transaction with Smith, and
that if he could be present when the
claim and delivery case is heard his
chance of winning it would be reasonably
good.
KENILWORTH INN BURNED
ONCE BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE
REDUCED TO SMOKING HEAP.
Ex-Senator Gazzam Only Person Seriously
Injured?Guests Forced
to t lee in Night Clothes.
Asheville, N. C., April 14.?Of
the once beautiful structure, Kenilworth
Inn, that in its day' has housed
some 01 the country's greatest celebrities,
nothing remains to-night but
a pile or charred and smoking ruins.
Despite the fact that the alarm was
sounded at 2:30 this morning when
all the guests were asleep, only one
person was injured, Former State
Senator Joseph M. Gazzam, owner of
the hotel, who jumped from a third
story window in an effort to escape
and sustained internal injuries, the
outcome of which is doubtful at this
hour. At 9 o'clock to-night it was
reported from Biltmore hospital that
Senator Gazzam had been unconscious
since noon to-day and that his
spine was injured.
Hopes for his recovery are entertained,
however.
Senator Gazzam's action in going
back to his room, after being called
six times, and his refusal to get up
when first called, in ample time to
escape, has caused much speculation
among his friends, and it is thought
that he might have become unnerved
by the first alarm of fire. After hesitating
at the window of his room,
whence the smoke poured in heavy
volume, Mr. Gazzam jumped from
the windoy? to the roof of the portecochere,
rolling thence to the
ground.. A heavy rug was held for
him by the firemen standing by the
porte-cochere, but the aged senator
missed it in his (all.
All the out-of-town guests who escaped
have'been comfortably housed
in other hotels. The stories of escapes

llittUC 111 U15UI1 atuic ai ^ uiau; ai..u
varied. One young woman walked
all the way into Asheville, three
miles barefooted and wearing only
night robe and kimono. Many of the
guests, it is said, lost valuable jewelry,
including diamonds of high
prioe, and to-night a special patrol
of police guards the ruins from
"beach combers," as they were termed
to-day, who have been prowling
around since early morning in the
hope of finding fortune among the
debris.
The company which built Kenilworth
Inn 18 years ago was composed
of Dr. Browning, of Philadelphia,
Strawbridge & Clothier, Philadelphia;
Senator Joseph M. Gazzam,
of Philadelphia, and George W. Vanderbilt,
of Biltmore. The latter was
the heaviest stockholder. His and
the other interests were acquired by
Senator Gazzam six years ago, and
since that time different lessees have
presided over the destinies of the
hotel. Mrs Anna D* Martin leased
the hotel only a month ago.

The origin of the nre, wnue sun
in doubt, is thought to have.been
from embers in the big kitchen
range. The total insurance is now
placed at $72,500.
The total loss is estimated at
$250,000.
It is doubtful if Kenilworth Inn
will be rebuilt.
MUSIC FESTIVAL AT AUGUSTA.
Mme. Fames, the World's Greatest
Soprano, and Damrosch's Famous
Orchestra in Three Concerts. /
Augusta is planning for a great
Music Festival, April 26 and 27, at
which Mme. Emma Eames, primadonna
assoluta, perhaps the greatest
of all concert sopranos, will sing, and
Damrosch's New York Symphony Orchestra
will play. In addition, on
Tuesday night, a chorus of two hundred
will, with the assistance of notable
soloists, render Rossini's
Stabat Mater in English. This chorus
has been reheasing for two months
and is in perfect mastery of this wonder
music. It will be worth going
hundreds of miles to hear. There is
no other festival in the South that
will present Mme. Eames and it is
the only opportunity to hear her to
be had outside of the big cities of
the North. Seats for the festival are
now on sale and will be sold in this
place by agent prior to the opening
of the festival. The fact that the
opening concert will be held on the
evening of Decoration day will give
many a. chance to be present. The
Drices for the afternoon concert Tues
day will be lower than for the evenings.
Further information will be
furnished upon application to

Boy Kidnapped.
St..Louis, April 16.?James Shepard
Cabanne, seven years old, the
youngest scion of a famous St. Louis
family, was kidnapped from in front
of the home of his grandmother,
Mrs. Julia C. Cabanne, in the most
fashionable district of the city.
There is no clue as to his whereabouts
save a telephone message
from an unidentified man saying the
lad had been taken to Louisville.
Mrs. Cabanne, almost distracted,
summoned the police and put the
matter in their hands.
The authorities at Louisville and
Memphis have been notified and
will keep on the lookout for the boy.
Barring the possibility that he is in
the hands of abductors, who may
try a repetition of the Whitla case,
it is a theory of the police that the
kidnapping is due to domestic
trouble.

Rev. Bolin holds preaching 'ser- -<
vices in the school house at Govan, *>#gM|
his first work being the first Sunday and
Saturday before in this month.
He is a conscientious and devout '/M
Christian worker. Previously he
preached (I am told) a hell fire sermon.
I don't believe the good man '
earnestly believes in a literal hell fire,
bat just preached it to satisfy
the people, as any theologian knows
that any conception of God is that he , \
is a God of love, and that "there la
a law of sin with the flesh, and with :
the mind the law of God/' Rpm: 7But
it is all existent through hit - -s?
instrumentality. St. Paul further. vi
says: - ':M
"0 wretched man that I ami Who
shall deliver me from the body of ... '-Ha
this death." Rom. 7-24. "I thank p
God through Jesus Christ our Lord." -ffiaj
Rom: 7:25. v
"For the creature was made sub- - .
Ject to vanity, not willingly, but by^
reason of him who hath subjected ~s||
the same in hope. Because the crea- SjjjJ
ture itself also shall be delivered
from the bondage of corruption in-"/*/jj|j
to the glorious liberty of the children -raW
of God."* Rom. 8-20-21. Cj ' v ^
"For the law couia noi ao m ia?
it was weak through the flesh, GO0 *? '
sending his own son in the likeneM
of sinful flesh, and for sin condemn* v'-faHH
ed sin in the flesh." Rom. 8*3.
And the most convincing, "What .
shall we then say to these things? If %
God be for us who can be against
us?" Rom. 8-31. Where is the adversary?
.
"For I am persuaded that neither
death nor life, nor angels, nor prin- S
cipalities, nor powers, nor things p
present, nor things to. come, nor gga
height, nor depth, nor any other
creature shall be. able to separate us - W
from the love of God, which is in .'JjjSH
Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom: 8-39.
I believe that the Kingdom of God v%gl
would be hastened if men would re- Yh
lease themselves from such dogmas .V'v'jM
as a belief in a literal hell fire.
A child by instinct inquires for.
knowledge so earnestly and the
mother deludes its mind when the .
great mysteries could be made clearer.
Many a child has a task trying
to understand, but they get on to
things later, and doubtless to their ;.:3
detriment.
God is a fair and just God and he . , ?3q
has entrusted a mother with mater- ^
nity and the mother is the God of the
child for awhile, and the allwise ;g|
maker will doubtless hold her re- 'Js
sponsible for any misguidance.

went to explain to her the approaching
marriage to Miss Bagley. Adams
was shot several times by Miss
Brown and died almost instantly. .
Miss Brown was arrested and I
placed in the county jail. One peculiar
feature of the case is that Miss
Brown is a sister of Miss May Brown,
who was killed here in 1905 by her
lover, who at the same time shot; her
mother, Mrs. Freeman, and Detec- ,
