O'Neil, of Charleston, attempted to commit suicide here by drinking several drams of laudanum. The quick presence of a physician saved his life, though the man avows his intention of yet committing the rash act. He was placed in the city ^ jail last night to prevent him carrying out his avowed intentions. O'Neil is a young man, who came to Aiken from Charleston. He has been in the city for some time. Several days ago he was heard to say that he intended taking his own life. Yesterday evening he went into Hall's drug store, on Main street, and said he had toothache and bought j some laudanum for the purpose, he i said, of eating it. He then seated himself at a table and called for a soft drink from the soda fountain. 1 Instead of drinking from the soda glass he drank about half the con- ; tents of the laudanum bottle and in a few moments he arose, threw a note across the counter to the clerk s . and swooned. A physician was with i him in n mnmfint and after a great deal of effort he was made to drink an emetic, and soon recovered from the effects of the laudanum. But he still insisted that he would kill himself, saying he would jump from the hotel window. Accordingly he was locked up for the night. The note was addressed to a young lady of this city, and disappointment in love 0 seems to have weighed too heavily on his' mind. There were three at the little table in the cafe, a lady and two men, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Suddenly the electric lights went out, and the lady, quickly and noiselessly, drew back. An instant later there ^ was the smack of a compound kiss. As the electric lights went up each man was seen to be smiling complaisantly. "I thought I heard a kiss," said the lady, "but nobody kissed me." Then the men suddenly glared at each other and flushed, \ and looked painfully sheepish. GIVES HIMSELF UP IN AIKEN AD. BOYLSTON SURRENDERS TO SHERIFF OF AIKEN COUNTY. He Declares That He Fears That He Would Not be Safe in Jail in Barnwell. Aiken, June 14.?Early this morning Ad. Boylston came to Aiken and surrendered to Sheriff Rabon. Boylston is charged with the assassination of Young Cleveland Fanning, near Williston, some days ago. The Barnwell authorities have been on the lookout for him since the killing, as he was suspected from the first, but Boylston has been in hiding and could not be found. At 5 o'clock this morning Boylston came to the borne of Deputy Sheriff W. W. Busbee and said he wished to be placed in jail in Aiken. He said he was afraid to go to Barnwell to surrender, as he feared injury at the hands of his enemies. The case has created a great deal of excitement in this city. The toul murder of Cleve Fanning occurred t. few miles from Williston, in the county of Barnwell. He was shot from his buggy, as he was returning to his home from Williston, two loads entering his body. Bloodhounds were secured and tracks oi two persons were trailed to the Edis to river, where the parties escaped in a boat up the river. The tracks of the parties were concealed in wraps of old rags. Cotton is said to have been bundled up around their feet, presumably to prevent any dogs from trailing their tracks. Bits of cotton were found by their tracks, saturated with kerosene. At the time, strong suspicion was evinced against Ad. Boylston. Ad. Boylston is a brother-in-law of young Fanning, having married Fanning's 3ister. Detectives were placed in charge of the matter, and it is said that they have been looking for Boylston for some days, but could not And him. Boylston was seen in the Aiken jail to-day by a correspondent and he said that he was innocent of the crime which he was suspected of committing. He says he had nothing whatever to do with it, and has no knowledge whatever concerning it. He said that he has no enemies in the world, excepting the family of his wife. It was through fear of them Va aatma A iIrAn on/1 oiirrDn. iered. He was afraid to go to Barnwell, fearing injury from them. He said, however, that there would likely be some interesting developments in the matter before many flays, but he did not say what the nature of them would be. Boylston is a comparatively young man, being about 30 years of age. He was married to Miss Fanning some time ago. After they dived together some time, it is said, they separated, and Mrs. Boylston went back to the home of her people. One story has it that Boylston tried to force her to return to him and was met with opposition from the family, who, so the story goes, stood ready to protect her. Another says that they mutually agreed to again live together, but that her people would Dot allow her to return to Boylston. Boylston lives in this county, just a lew miles across ine line xroiu Barnwell. The Govan Correspondent and Theology.. Editor The Bamberg Herald: The Govan correspondent of The Herald has certainly forgotten the bounds ol true propriety in corresponding foi a country newspaper, in thrusting into his correspondence, as he hag done recently, discussion of a controverted theological subject, the final state of the wicked. It was uncalled for and unfair tc take the position of a minister in his own pulpit on any subject, that had not been printed, and criticize it in a county newspaper. It is very much out of place in a county newspaper, as such papers dc not propose to discuss theological questions about which there are differences of opinion in the Christian world. There are plenty of religious newspapers which present a suitable medium for discussing these things, as they are in existence for that purpose; but as a county newspaper is not, such airing of religious views, and especially criticizing of a minister's discourse, no doubt from his own pulpit, is a breach of common propriety that the Govan correspondent surely did not realize and whict is not appreciated by many readers of The Herald. uiNUi UJP mn?M. Strike Arbitrators Can't Agree. Washington, June 15.?A furthei conference was held to-day in the offices of the interstate commerce commission by the arbitrators of the Georgia railroad strike, Former Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herberl and Representative Hardwick, ol Georgia. An effort was made tc agree upon the appointment of the third arbitrator, but it was unsuccessful. Several names were suggested, but none of them was satisfactory to the two arbitrators. It developed to-day that the arbitrators were in communication with the powers which appointed them and that the probabilities are that nc third arbitrator who is not satisfactory to the parties in the controversj will be appointed. If this disposition be manifested to the ultimate conclusion, the likelihood is that the terms of the Erdman act, the appointment of the third arbitrator, will have to be made by the board of mediation, Chairman Knapp and Dr. Neill. Mr. Herbert and Mr. Hardwich will hold another conference in ae effort to agree upon the third arbitrator. Mr. Herbert said to-nigh1 that the names of the men considered and rejected cannot be made public at this time. He declares that if the third arbitrator is not agreed upon by Saturday he will be selected by the mediation board. ; V ^ -y * BOGUS LORD ALMOST MUMMY. Body of Sidney Lascelles in Asheville. i Establishment. Asheville, June 12.?Standing! erect in a case in the rear room of the undertaking establishment of i Nolan, Brown & Co., of this city, is-' the embalmed and now almost mummified body of the man known as Sidney Lascelles, the bogus Lord Beresford. The body was embalmed six years ago and is now as stiff as a board and when laid between two chairs, with only the head and feet touching, it will not bend. The undertaker says that the man came here from Norfolk, claiming to be Lord , Beresford and they embalmed the h/-?Hv nn th? siirmnsitinn that, wealthV relatives would care for it. Cablegrams were sent to Lord Beresford in England, but no response was received. The undertakers now admit the man was an imposter and are keep1 ing the body as a proof of their skill in embalming. They have refused ; to sell the body to shows, being offered $2,000 for it. MADE NARROW ESCAPE. Young Child Conies Near Being Killed by a Cow. ; On Thursday afternoon Mr. Perry turned his cow into his front yard to eat grass. While the cow was graz- ; ing Mr. Perry's little girl Mildred, aged three or iour years, was play1 ing in the yard. The cow being a 1 gentle one there was no thought of danger. Suddenly the cow made A dash at the little girl, caught her up on its horns and threw her some distance; then rushed at her again. Mr. Perry, being nearby, rushed at the 1 cow and gave it a tremendous kickin time to save the child. The child was right badly bruised, the horns of ; the cow tearing her clothing entirely off and making an ugly mark nearly the length of her body. But for tne iaci mat, me nuru ui me ww uau : been broken off and was consequent- , ly blunt, the child would likely have 1 been gored to death before the father could have interfered. ; Mr. Perry in kicking the cow severely sprained his hip, and was laid up a day or two at home, and is 1 still quite lame.?Newberry Observer. FAMILY LIVED IN STUMP. They Build a Cosy Home in a Gigantic Cedar. A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., | says with seven children and a fat wife, John Seivert, lately from Iowa, . is living in a stump in the northern ' part of that city. Seivert went to Seattle several ; months ago. He had but little mon' ey and a large family. Because of the great boom there he was unable ; to find an empty house and resolved | to build one of his own. He bought , an unimproved lot in the north part of the city, in a district where log- , ! ging operations ceased but a year ago, and on going out to plan his house he found half tfce lot occu; pied by a gigantic cedar stump thirty feet high and eighteen feet in di: ameter ten feet above ground. ' With an auger and saw Seivert 1 cut out a seven-foot section from the south end, and walked into his stump. The walls were found to be ' fifteen inches thick and the whole stump was a hollow shell. He cut , out windows, laid a tight floor and [ made a ceiling of planking and floor? ing. ; Twelve feet above ground Seivert . made the windows for the second | story. The third story was constructed and a tight roof of shiplap and I shingles was made over the top. Seivert peeled oft the bark and t painted the stump a light green and . the window and door frames pure | white. The whole makes a very pretl ty home at a cost of only $40, and the owner has refused $2,500 for his , unique abode. [ SNAKES HID IN BELLOWS. 1 Lancaster Blacksmith Has Novel Exj perience. | Mr. W. V. Hegler, of the Primus ' section, had a unique experience last Wednesday. He went to his black' smith shop to do some work, and on ' undertaking to operate the bellows he found that it wouldn't work. While trying to ascertain the cause of the trouble a snake stuck its head out of the hole. Mr. Heeler secured a pair of tongs and withdrew the reptile and killed it. It was a large chicken snake, about six feet long. Returning to his bellows, Mr. Hegler found that it still wouldn't work, and while examining it, another snake's head was thrust out of the hole. The astonished farmer pulled > it out also with his tongs and kill ed it. The snakes were both of the t same kind and size. There is now ! a very offensive odor about the bel? lows, and Mr. Hegler thinks that . there is one or more dead snakes in it.?Lancaster special to News and Courier. MEAT CAR LEAVES TRACK. | Breaks Away From Train and Rolls ' Down Embankment. r Rock Hill, June 12.?Passengers on the east-bound train on the Charl leston division Thursday night were considerably shaken up and excited over the occurrence at Fishing creek t trestle, between here and Yorkville. ) A car of meat consigned to a mer chant at Rock Hill had been attached to the train at some point up the : road in order to get it here quickly i and this car jumped the track at the point named. After bumping along t on the ties for some distance the I car turned over and rolled down the ; embankment. Very fortunately it broke loose from the rest of the . train. It was just at this point that a very serious wreck occurred three . years or more ago in which a number of people were injured. * * . " *-* \ . *' 7 * - " HOGS A] (By Rev. C. Gadara was a country east of the &ea of Galilee, where lived a mixture of Jews and other people, raising nogs as a source of revenue. The question at once arises, "If you Jews are going to keep the laws of God,1 which forbid the use of hogs as food, how can you consistently engage in raising them?" The answer would be "\ve are living here with these Gadarene gentlemen; we are not raising hogs tor ourselves to use, but for the Romans in the cities, who are; fond of roast pork at their feasts." j Then one says to them, "O I see! ; You've set up a business for other i folks, and you get a revenue from; it." This is the argument of many j sober men who vote for the dispen-! sary. They do not advocate the dispensary because they want the li-1 quor, but because others want it, nnH hv thpir usinc it. the town and county?and so themselves?get a revenue from it. And so a business is maintained which flies in the face of all civic righteousness and cleanness. There are people?good people too ?who say we must not discuss questions like this in the pulpit, nor yet too much in the religious press. They are quick to tell me I am defiling my pulpit with politics. This is a fearful admission?that whiskey and politics are so mixed as to make it impossible to talk against whiskey without discussing politics. If this be true, surely politics has gotten itself into very bad company . The New Testament religion does not ignore our civil government. It says we must be obedient to those in authority, must pay taxes, and pray for those set over us. But if we pray for them, we are wasting our breath unless we first vote for the right men. There is no use to vote for a whiskey advocate, and then pray for temperance. But let us get on with our story. Jesus crossed the sea, and came into . that Gadarene country, and there met a man possessed with devils. These devil-possessed people always provoke our sympathy, just as they did that of our Lord. We still have many of them all about us ?the poor fiends whose systems cry for cocaine, morphine and whiskey. In my younger days, my doctrine was to show no mercy, but forthwith to kick these people out of the social and religious world. I think I cave uvea iu acquire ucuci ocuDt, The habit of taking these drugs be.omes a disease. Men drink whiskey and eat morphine who yet curse the things they use. They have become r.tterly helpless, devil-possessed. These are they who commit murder and suicide, or destroy home and happiness. They sorely need the tender help and sympathy of all loving hearts. . - Jesus healed the man who had the devils, or whom the devils had. After all, grace is the best remedy for bad habits?much better than a Keeley Institute. The devils Jrom the man, having entered into the swine, the whole herd rushed down a steep place into the sea, and perished. This created consternation. The men who were watching the herds went rushing back to the village where the owners lived, and told the story?that they had seen Jesus do this thing. As the news spread, the honorable Gadarene citizens came together, saying, "Our hogs have perished! let us go down, and look into this matter. This Jesus must surely be a bad man, to com mit so great a aepreaauon. Two of the men?I imagine?who are walking in the rear of the others, are holding their heads down. The time had come for them to think. A man engaged in a bad business is always superstitious and apprehensive of evil. One says, "I guess this is a judgment, I've always been doubtful about this hog raising business here among us Jews. If hog meat is not good for us, how can it be good for the Romans, to whom we sell it?" That was a sensible argument. A business not good for the average man can't well be good for any man. But the Gadaren? owners of the hogs came on down?down the sides of the high chalk cliffs to the seaside. They had not been in the habit of going down that way. The raging demoniac had been making that whole section disagreeable, running around naked, cutting himself with stones until he dripped with blood, and filling the air with his screams, day and night. When they got down to the sea, the first thing they saw was the great Teacher standing on the shore, and at His feet, the man once possessed was sitting ciotnea, sane ana altogether himself. To explain the thing or deny it was a problem. There sat the healed demoniac to npset every argument they could adduce. I imagine they withdrew to one side, and held a brief consultation. The presence of the healed man non-plussed them. While they were talking, one wise man reminded them of the fact that the work wrought on the demoniac was a marvel indeed; that no such thing had ever happened in that country before, and may be this man Jesus was not so wicked, after all. Just then another one exclaimed, "Fellow citizens, look yonder!" They raised their eyes, and lo, the carcasses of the drowned hogs had, floated to the surface of the water, and the west wind was driving them ashore. What about the healed man now? Nay, what about the hogs? "They are our money; they constitute our soufce of revenue! It is not our duty to run around after every devil-possessed fool; but it is our duty to make money if we can. What shall we dor" a great pauncny old chap whose legs supported him with difficulty, said, "I move, sirs, that we appoint a committee to ask this Jesus to depart from our coasts." And that was how Jesus got away from that country; he went in answer to the requests of the people who said he was interfering with their lawful business of hog raising. But how . about the man who was healed? Well, just this?a man with no money value about him, out ND MEN C. Browne.) I of whom no money can be made, is i not to be set up along side of a hog ( that produces a revenue. If the poor fool wants to dash around among the rocks let him do so; but we ; don't want a man among us who kills our hogs and cuts off our revenue. : The healed man went home. To : those who loved him, his coming was 1 better than the coming of a dozen i droves or grunting hogs. It was the i happiest day that home ever saw. j The wife asked, "Is the great Teach- ; er eoiner on with his healine andli [helping?" "No," the healed man re- : plied. "The masters cared more for the hogs than for the men in dis- ; tress; so they asked him to go away." i i So some say in this day that the j | preachers and the churches are ven- ' turing too far; we are asked to stand a3ide and let the politicians look after the liquor business; if we get i into the discussion, we are apt to : interfere with the business, and cut off revenue. The result is as we see ; it. Every man in the State of South Carolina has been compelled to become a partner in the whiskey selling business by the men known as < politicians. Now they tell us we must depart out of their coasts; they ; don't want us to get mixed up in politics; that politics is a bad business anyhow, and if the churches get into it, they will surely reap corrup- i tion. For a long time, we kept silent. We have been living under the burden of. a legalized sale of whiskey through the dispensary. With a majority of senators and representatives voting for it, we were helpless. But, after long years, help has come. The great commercial world has been aroused to recognize the fact that the use of whiskey paralyzes trade, unfits men for business, and entails a curse and only a curse. The railroads shut out the drinker, he finds no place in the marts of commerce, and all the great corporations have voted for soberness. But men cannot be sober if whiskey is made too easy to get and the sale of it legalized and given a semi-respectability. Hence the commercial world, at this late day, has taken up the ancient cry of the churches, and the combination is playing havoc with whiskey as a source of revenue. We are going around with a little warm water and soap trying if perchance we can wash out the eyes of our great senators and representatives so; that they may be enabled to see the j condition of things. They must con-' sent to be washed out or be washed away. Almost half of the States in! the Union have voted whiskey out, J and very nearly half of the counties j in the State. In the other half, it is kept m place by men who seem to think we are such fools we don't know what is best for us, and hence they feel it their high duty to administer to our needs by voting to maintain whiskey sinks all over the country. There is hut a single argument for the maintenance of the dispensary. The use of whiskey is denounced by everybody. Even those curse it who use it. The poor fellow who is a slave to it, prays to God against it, and wishes there was not a drop in the whole world. Then why maintain it? Why do men who profess to be wise and righteous vote for the sale of whiskey? Simply because out of the sale of it there comes a revenue, and money is placed into the treasuries of our towns and counties. And a double revenue at that. We get a part of the money the drinker pays for the liquor, and when he gets drunk on liquor legally bought, we get another revenue out of the fine he has to pay for getting drunk. This is our law in the glowing light of this twentieth century?our schools must be helped and our streets paved with the income from the sorest vice the age has to contend against. If the revenue from whiskey were cut off, and it were made impossible for a man to get an income from handling it, we could not find men who would keep it in their stores to be given away. The fact that it breeds vice and filth and death is condoned by the other fact that there is money in it But some say, "it will be drunk, and therefore it will be sold. Prohibition will not prohibit." This is true. There is no law which totally prohibits the evil at which it is aimed. If we can respect only a law which prohibits, the Ten Commandments are the greatest farce of the world. If we propose to abolish every law which is a failure, we must wipe the statute books clean. Murder, theft and arson are all unlawful; but the law against them does not prohibit them. Suppose a man should arise and say, "Since the law against murder does not prevent murder, I move that we abolsih it!" How would it do to set up a law like this; Chicken stealing shall be legalized, provided a man is willing to pay for the privilege of indulging in the fine art and will pay a good fee in case lie is overtaken in the theft. This is the dispensary law in a nut-shell. You are allowed to buy liquor?hence you are allowed to drink / LEWIS BLOUNT DENMARK MAi DENMAR Machinery Rebuilt and ] ers, Pumps, Etc., Cotton Wood-working Machiner tives, Printing Machiner R Brass Castings Made to Or I We Are a New Concern in this S I Good Patronage by Good and Sati ?and Courteous Treatment to a 9 If Others Have Failed y we Make All Our Failnr % , - .. - - ; . v v jS iiquor; bu* if you drink too much, you must pay for the added privilege of being made a fool by it. So the *. taw catches a man on going in and on coming out, and then the State and county and the town chuckle over the fact that the revenue is coming in all right. What does prohibition say? Does x it offer to prevent the use of whiskey, to change men's appetites and make the world sober in a day? By no means. It simply proposes to ' make the sale of whiskey a misdemeanor and write it down among the crimes which men commit. If thereafter men sell it, they must do so just as those who steal?secretly and clandestinely, knowing that they are violating a law of the State; and if they are caught up with, they must put a revenue into the treasury ^ ?not however, as now, for keeping a law; but for violating one. '\J But the dispensary advocate says to me and to every defender of the people and of civic righteousness, - '-$f "Go away! You are injuring our business. You are in politics. You want to cripple our schools and de- j crease our means of paving our city 3 streets." The pious lawmaker says, ^ "Whiskey is a very bad thing; but 5I men will drink it, and are willing to Wgj allow them to do so if they will put money into the public treas- ; J ury." So barter in the worst vice of the age goes on, approved by men- i&j who declare they seek what is best and most helpful to the masses of "'?m Surely our civilization is defec- ;VJ| tive, or our lawmakers must be actuated by some other motive than the v*|? public good. There was a day when witches were hung or burned In s these United States. A woman was .^p3| burned in Massachusetts because it' was said she had caused a child to vomit pins. She was tried and con- 11 demned before a venerable and hewigged judge, and the verdict doubt- ~#8| less was rendered by a jury of her peers. When we read of such an incident connected with the history of /jg&m our forefathers in America, we are^-^^S not certain whether we should laugh jM or be sorrowful. Rather are we ashamed to think that such a thing could be true among an enlightened people. A hundred years hence, the people will laugh at the civilization of to-day, and wonder how it was possible for men of wisdom and in tegrity to legalize the sale of the -Msm worst poison known to commerce. . I hope the temperance people will <5? hurry along with their warm water -|?B and soap to bathe the eyes of the fm solons who give us the laws, in order that they may be opened to see the situation as it really is. If while the '~;M bathing is going on, that vision of a . dollar in revenue can be washed .^faj away, we shall need no further legs-- jWgt lation. The whiskey traffic will die Visft: of its own accord, denounced by the sober man and cursed by the drinking man.
