WITNESS LOSES TEMPER.
?- Liquor Man Slams Books on Desk.
Lanahan Again on Stand.
Columbia, May 22.?The prosecution's
effort in the dispensary investigation
yesterday was to fortify the
[v: statement of Lewis W. Parker, W. A.
Clarke and other promineht Carolinians,
who swore some time ago that
& Sam Lanahan, of the Baltimore Lanahan
liquor firm, told them he had to
pay $2 a case rebate to the purchasing
board and fifty cents a case to
&V. , local dispensers to do business in this
State, and that Col. C. L. Blease was
the Lanahan agent in this State.
William Lanahan, sole receiver of
the firm was on the stand. He was
positive in his denial of the
' statement even if his own attorney,
W. A. Clarke, Mr. Parker and others
did swear to it. He said that neither
the name of Blease nor Boykin appeared
oh the Ijooks.
Mr. Felder tried to show that inferior
liquor was shipped here to
?;: make up for the rebates, but Mr.
I*; / < Lanahan insisted the best came here.
The afternoon's session ended the
investigation until June 8, when Mr.
Parker will be called to the stand,
- also Lanahan's supervising bottler.
T onalifln nrnmiispR to TJroduCe any
letters he has to Blease, Boykin or
|pt-,V others.
Mr. Brice, of the committee, asked
< Mr. I^anahan to tell what methods
||ff-. his company employed to get back
r into business with the State dispensary
after the firm had been black
listed for sending a lot of liquor into
Charleston. Mr. Lanahan remembered
being blacklisted, but could not
tell how the firm got back to doing
business.
:During his examination Mr.
Sctlosser lost his temper when being
questioned rather closely about not
bringing certain books, and began to
slam some books about on the desk.
& ^ "T am not excited." he said when
he was called down, "but I don't like
C; * " to be made out a liar."
Mr. Patton: "If you don't keep
quiet you will be made out something
else."
NEGRO KILLED AT HAMER.
Unknown Man Slain by Charlie Greer,
Colored.
KSv.'.
Marion, May 23.-?An unknown negro
was killed at Hamer yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock by Charlie
\ Greer, a negro. Greer and two other
negroes had been working at Kilgo's
sawmill, at Kentyre, but had gone to
Rowland to work, where the stranger
stole a pistol belonging to Greer
from a negro shanty. Greer and his
two friends followed the stranger to
a point just across the North Carolina
line in South Carolina, where
they overtook him. This was at the
house of Mr. J. F. Graham, where
the stranger had stopped to get a
drink of water. Charlie Greer came
upon him in Mr. Graham's yard,
caught the stranger with his left
hand and said, "Where is my pistol?"
Without waiting for an an
'fewer, however, he drew his pistol
and shot the other, the hall taking
effect in the right side of the chest,
ranging downward toward his heart.
The victim fell immediately and as
he was falling said, "I put your pistol
in yonder pile of crossties when
I saw you coming." It is said that
the pistol has since been found at the
place indicated.
Greer left immediately after the
shooting, running across a field and
taking to the swamp. An inquest
was held by Magistrate J. B. McEachern.
Mr. J. F. Martin and Mr.
Geo. Bird, as special deputies, captured
Greer and his two companions
about 11 o'clock last night in a
shanty at Kilgo's mill, on Little Pee
Dee river. They brought the prisoners
to Marion this morning, where
they were placed in jail.
Case Decided.
The case of F. M. Ray against Mrs.
S. H. Counts has been decided by
the State Supreme Court, and Ray
loses the case, the decision of the
lower court being affirmed. This
suit was brought to have a deed declared
to be a mortgage. Ray sold
his farm below Bamberg to Mrs.
Counts, or rather he gave a deed to
it, which Ray contended was to operate
as a mortgage, and Mrs. Counts
and other witnesses testified that it
was an absolute sale. Judge Prince
decided in favor of Mrs. Counts, and
Ray appealed to the State Supreme
Court. The decision of this Court,
rendered by Associate Justice Woods,
affirmed the judgment below, and
Ray loses. S. G. Mayfield, Esq., represented
Mrs. Counts, and B. T. Rice,
Esq., represented Ray.
News from Govan. 'j
Govan, S. C., May 24 th.
"i
"We are the same our fathers have
been,
We see the same sights our lathers
have seen,
We drink the same stream, and view '
the same sun,
And run the same course our fathers '
have run."
These lines, copied from the poem '
entitled "Oh, Wny Should the Spirit :
oi .Mortal be Proud, ' is said to have
i>een Abraham Lincom s favorite
poem. It was written by William
ivnox.
Tne poet does not attempt to
philosopmze lite, but in the above
lines conveys the idea that all mankind
partake of the nature of their
fathers, in custom, habits, manners,
etc. There is no change in this hu!
man tabernacle in which we are
taught that a soul dwells until death
ensues, and then the body is transformed
into "a quickened spirit."
One says the corruptible puts on incorruption,
and the mortal puts on
immortality. But there is one thing
certain, and that is the personal
identity is preserved.
Bewailing sorrowfully as a funeral
dirge, the poet pictures man's pitiable
condition, as circumscribed to
his narrow sphere of existence. Such
a truth?man we see everywhere the
sameness. It is true that the present
generation is advanced to a r
higher stage in art, and science, but
we can but acknowledge that his
knowledge is but superficial. Say
that with tenacity of purpose he
achieves some feat in the world of
invention, and creates for himself
fame. : But the invention does not
startle the world, even it maj? be so
useful and profitable to the commercial
world. It is only the harnessing,
so to speak, of mechanical power. t
But^could he invent something having
perpetual motion, he would then
startle the world, hut never and the
reason he is not supernatural. So
man is circumscribed in his narrow
sphere! But with the advancement
made in the sciences gives to him a I
life time occupation in committing to
his understanding the facts in the
world of investigation.
Now let us philosophize man's con- i
dition in various avocations. I
The medical doctor only prescribes r
the remedy that was taught to him, i
by one who has experimented with j
and found it effectual in the particu- ?
lar disease. It is conclusive that an j
experiment is not a discovered cure, i
His time is occupied with the ad- c
vancement that modical science
makes. Hence his position is cir- c
cumscriDea: ?
The lawyer refers to precedents, t
either written or unwritten law, in
defending his cases. He knows that
man is not that eternal principle of
recititude, and therefore errs from
the right course sometimes, hence
the application of law. His position
is circumscribed!
The electrician has to know the
laws of electricity, or he cannot
cause the electric fluid to perform
its various functions. Hence, too,
his knowledge is superficial!
And so it is with man's advancement
in all trades or professions. So
the man you see studying is only imbibing
knowledge that some other
man has passed upon, and laid down i
as wholesome knowledge. g
"For we are the same our fathers ;
have been." It is true though that
some minds are more 'active than
others, hence the acquirement of .
more knowledge. Now what animates
this noblest of God's created
animals with that indefatigable
yearning for power or knowledge, t
and peculiar to his nature. Is it be- f
cause hjs nature is dual? Perhaps i
so, that he is "created in God's im- i
^ XI J i
age." uonsequenuy me euu iu m? i
existence here upon earth must be a t
revelation of the "truth and light." j
s
There will be a festival at the Go- r
van academy Thursday evening (the t
27th) at 8 o'clock. The public are r
invited to attend. The purpose of r
same is to raise funds to finish the
work on Georges Creek church. g
We learn that there will be a pic- f
nic at Hightower's Mill on Satur- j
day. (3

We are glad to greet the return of r
Mr. James A. Kennedy from Guyton, ^
Ga. Suppose he will be here for only s
a few days. \
c
The commencement exercises of t
the Olar high school will commence s
Sunday night and run aboat three q
nights. Under the supervision of g
the worthy heads of that school we g
can expect to be well entertained. ^

Baker Kennedy left for Columbia c
to-day to attend a telegraph insti- i
tute. Baker is a worthy boy and we j
wish him much success in his chosen e
course. c
1
urops are very uiueu icucouw
since the nice showers. Corn is c
especially promising. j
Think of it! The State of South *
Carolina offering only the pitiful s
sum of $25.00 for the arrest of Neal .
Howard, the culprit who entered the
dwelling of W. A. Hay last fall in the
effort to rob him and perhaps kill
him. But now the scoundrel is
liberated, and not enough reward
offered by this great commonwealth
to pay a detective's way and
other expenses to maybe a Georgia
town. But we are not complaining
as to his escape, for accidents will
happen and therefore no complaint
for an accident.
W. A. HAY, JR.
Cards Were Torn Down.
Columbia, May 21.?The first case
of interference with the enforcement
of the new labor inspection laws was
brought to Commissioner Watson's
attention today. At a mill in Yorkville
warning cards posted to protect t
children from machinery were torn '
down by unknown employes.
The commissioner sent new cards,
with notice that on the next occur- 1
rence he would send two inspectors J
to camp on the scene until the guilty
parties are arrested.
He says he is trying to enforce the I
law for the protection of both the
management and the employes.

When arrested Markie, who gave a ;
lumber of different names to differ- \
?nt parties, had on his person a 44 j
:alibre pistol of enormous size and !
ength and a sum of money was found \
>n his person. The amount, however, j
s not known. It is stated that the ,
letectives are sure that he is impli- \
:ated, and they are reported as say- j
ng that evidence sufficient to convict !
las been discovered. A suspected pal !
>f his is said to be under surveilance. j
The man was shabbily dressed but ap- !
>eared to be above the average in in- 1
ellect. He was put through a vigor- i
>us examination but many of the I
luestions he refused to answer. *
This is the fifth arrest in connec- j
ion with the express robbery. The ,
letectives and others interested in the ?
:ase are said to be highly satisfied =
ipon the progress that is being made. |
Information from Montmorenci is J
o the effect that two suspicious char- |
meters were seen there yesterday, who

SUSPECTED MEN RELEASED.
detectives Now on Another Cine in
Train Robbery.
Aiken, S. C., May 22.?Charles,
lenry and Ben Gaultman and Lonny
5rice were released from jail last
light, and the charge of being conlected
with the robbery of the excess
car between Warrenviiie and

A man, giving his name as K&nt,
vas arrested last night in this -dity,
>ut was later released. Kant was
ilso arrested at Williston on the previous
day on suspicion of being conlected
with the case. He came di ectly
to Aiken and was again arrested
here. ? '
The case is now where it beg^h. It
s rumored that if the clue no% beng

This express robbery being the first
jerhaps in the history of the county,

and it is the topic of convertation
on the streets. - ,
