Mr. Samuel Byrd Dead. ^ V Branchville, June 28.?Mr. Sam * nel Byrd, one of the oldest citizens . of this community, died this after w noon after a lingering illness, in his - ' -73rd year. He was a gallant Confederate soldier, and served through the entire war. He had accumulated ' considerable property. He left no / children,, but many relatives and N friends. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church and he ^ was a man of Christian character. * During his life he held many public . offices in the county and was towni ship commissioner at the time of his death. He will be buried to-morrow afternoon at the Byrd cemetery. A. L. Royster Drowned. .Columbia, S. C., June 28.?Arthur L. Royster, chief clerk to Superintendent H. A. Williams, of the CoI lumbia division of the Southern railway, and one of the most popular young men of Columbia, as well as 1/ one of the most capable and promising young railroad men of the State, met death by drowning, while out swimming and bathing in the i Columbia canal this morning at 10 s o'clock. The drowning occurred about one mile up the canal from this city. With Mr. Royster we: e several of his * * 3 ? rnl~ nrv* ell | inenus. lUC.v wcic uo-iiig, omau ivn, boats. They had left a boat on the eastern bank of the c tnal, tied in the ; underbrush, and Mr. Rovster, whc ' was an excellent swimmer, was swimming to it to bring it to the Congaree side, leaving his friends or > the western bank of the Congaree, When within a few strokes of the k boat, his companions saw Royster gc I , down, then rise and cry out and sink again. At first they thought that he f-- was pranking them, until he wenl ' down the last time. A search was .immediately commenced for the body, and doctors were rushed to the > scene in automobiles. The canal is being dragged with nets and at a late hour to-day the body had not yel been recovered. Mf. Royster was a native of Oxi ford, X. C., and came here aboul four years ago, with Mr. Williams, as his private secretary. He afterwards became chief clerk. ; ? } WEATHER WILL BE COOLER. Heat Wave Has Been Broken, Sayj the Bureau.

J? mlj . ; LETTER FROM GOVAX. > Our Correspondent Writes on Several | ' Subjects. Govan, June 2S.?When quite a small boy I remember on one oc casion I witnessed the death of a fine mule belonging to a neighbor. He was really one of the prettiest and largest mules I had ever seen. I had ridden behind old Tom on several oc1 casions, and at his death I too felt : the presence of broken friendship; if ; we are allowed to bestow our affections upon a brute animal and so reckon it as the kind we call human friendship. ' Nevertheless, I loved old Tom and regretted his death, and you may call it anything you may like. As the old mule gasped his last breath, an old ; negro man who had ministered unto ' him, said: "Dat muie aian i Know his strenk." I was somewhat puzzled at the expression. It didn't prop( erly convey the idea. How in the 1 world would the mule have known his strength should even he had had the intelligence to know that he was a very strong mule? By strength I mean the amount of power with which he would be capable of pulling. Perhaps he would have intelligence enough to know when he would be pulling the most of the load, then I suppose he would ascertain that he would have been the stronger mule. Anyway, the old negro meant to convey the idea that the mule was a , powerful strong mule, and he conveyed the thought as best he could. I think the old negro's expression is thoroughly applicable to the farmers in reference to coming into the Farmers' Union. If all of the farmers of the Southern States would come into the Union and lend their strength and influence to its cause we could soon make a monopoly of the business i. e., we can destroy the parasite (the speculator) that preys upon the vitals of the farmer's interests. But the farmer don't realize his strength. Well, it is to De regretted tnat ne aoes nui. Col. E. T. Brown, of Georgia, says:. "Suppose, for example, Europe 1 should combine to declare industrial \yar upon the United States. What steps would it be necessary for us to take to break the force of the alii- ; ance? One simple edict issued would suffice to accomplish the desired end:. 'You shall not have another bale of American cotton until peace is restored.' .This one declaration, strictly adhered to, would bring the combined power of the earth to : terms. "It is literally true that 'cotton is < king,' but owing to the unintelligent way in which the people of the South < have handled and marketed this God given, natural monopoly, 'King Cot- < ton' is invested with but few of the powers and attributes appurtenant to 1 the crown." i Hence we readily see of strength. ' The Farmers' Union began in August, i 1902. The Drice of cotton was at i that time below 6 cents. Since then : it has been above 10 cents. But they ; tell you that the farmers can't do < anything. The union has already accomplished a great deal, and ask oth- ; ers to come in with them so as to make it a more complete success. But rather they stay aside and say: (I'll watch the movement; I won't join vet,') when they could come into the Union and use# their influence to great good, perhaps. One writer says: "The auto is here to stay and we may as well make up our minds to give it a fair show on the road. I find most auto people are very decent about giving a full share of the road and are good enough to acknowledge any act of fairness on my part. Of course there are road hogs among auto drivers; but then I have often found the same kind of animals driving farm wagons. All the hogs are not on the same side ' of the road." I presume the writer means that should he meet an auto hog that he will give him all the road. I would ' suggest this as advisable, especially i if the hog is driving at a fair speed. The best thing for the man who uses : the horse is to carry him where he ! can constantly see the auto, so that ! he can become reconciled to them. 1 Doubtless there are many who believe that their animals will never become ! tamed to them, but my opinion is that they will become more used to 1 the auto than they would the railroad car. A locomotive is doubtless more 1 fearful to the horse than the automo! bile. i ! "Cooking supper for papa." Who ! remembers reading the above last 1 week? The pathetic words came from the lips of the seven-year-old * son of Allen Wesley Pierce, a farm' er living in the State of Texas. This ; man had just suffered the misforJ tune of losing his wife. His seven: year-old son and younger daughter 5 attempted to help their papa cook | ' supper when the gasoline stove ex! ploded, killing the younger child in5 stantly, the boy dying later. On his * death-bed, lying beside the corpse of his little sister, he told visitors before dying: "I was cooking supper ' for papa." ; The Farmers' Weekly News Scimi- j 5 tar makes the following comment on I the tragedy: "It was the simple act of a little child, hazardous and fatal as it happened; but the motive behind it glo-i rified it. And it may be?who j * knows??that when the acts, great and small, and the services rendered t here on earth by those who are of - consequence in the world's hall of - fame are scanned and weighed and measured in heaven's chancery, that - 'cooking supper for papa' will not i be found among the least." 5 3 The Govan base ball team organized Saturday afternoon.

Cordele, Ga., June 26.?A perfectit? nroeervpd netrified human form, IJ t**. wv. ? wv. xr believed to be the remains of an Indian, together with numerous skeletons and bones,, was to-day discovered by a local exploring party that ventured far into "Rock House" cave, eight miles southeast of this place. Romantic mystery has always attached to this natural underground cavity. The party that partially invaded its depths to-day ventured several hundred feet into a mysterious chain of passageways. In the limestone walls a gruesome sight was presented by the protruding remains Df scores of human beings. The petrified form weighed several hundred pounds, and it was impossible for the party to remove it. . Tillman Irritates Aldrich. Washington, June 28.?An earnest speech in favor of a tariff on tea to protect the South Carolina tea industry was made to-day by Senator Tillman, who declared that there was in his proposition for a duty of 10 cents a pound on this product $9,000,000 of revenue and $1,200 of protection. Addressing himself to Mr. Aldrich as the embodiment of the United States senate, Mr. Tillman was interrupted by the Rhode Island senator. who sueeested that there were some things that ceased to be jokes. "He is the?senate of the United States and he knows it," replied Mr. Tillman. Mr. Aldrich made no further reply. Senator Smith, of Michigan, said he had been greatly surprised to find that South Carolina is raising 15 times more tea than did the island of Ceylon in 1875. This discovery had, he said, caused him to be very friendly toward any suggestion looking to the protection of that industry. Senator Heyburn added that he had used South Carolina tea for six or seven years, preferring it for its superior flavor. He agreed with Senator Tillman that the area over which tea could be raised was from South Carolina to the Mississippi river, whereever the rainfall was sufficient. The amendment was offered late in the day and Mr. Tillman said he preferred having a vote taken on his amendment to-morrow with a full senate present. SDartnnburg Man Arrested. Spartanburg, June 24.?W. C. Rapney, a young business man of this city, engaged in selling advertising novelties, was committed to jail to-day by .Magistrate Kirby on the charge of obtaining money under false pretense. It is alleged that Rapney drew a check on the First National bank of Spartanburg to satisfy a draft for $200 made on him by the Victoria hotel of Norfolk when he did not have that amount in the bank. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out before Magistrate Kirby by Chief of Police R. C. Hall at the instigation of A. \V. Dubois, of Charlotte. It is said that Rapney owed another hotel man in Charlotte $1G. This party asked Mr. Joe E. Johnson, proprietor of the Spartan Inn, to collect the sum. Rapney, it is said, drew a check for Mr. Johnson, which was bogus. Rapney is a young man of about 22 years of age. He came here from Newberry. He is married and lives on Fairview avenue. His bond was fixed at $400.

The dinner was served on the roof of the west wing of the White House. Church Organist Dies at Instrument. Aiken, June 28.?Yesterday, as she was playing the postlude at St. Thaddeus Episcopal church, Miss Henrietta Ravenel, acting organist, was stricken with heart failure and died in a few moments after the first attack. She was seated at the organ and had almost concluded the postlude, and the congregation and minister, the Rev. G. Croft Williams, acting rector, were going out of the church when those near her were attracted by Miss Ravenel's appearing to have fainted. Help was at her side in a moment and a glass of ice water was secured, but -nothing could be done to restore her and she expired almost instantly, her head leaning on the organ. Drs. T. G. Croft and T. C. Stone were in the church and gave her all the attention possible. Miss Ravenel had been affected with heart trouble to some extent previously, but she was not known to be in any serious condition. %Iiss Maria W. Edgerton is the organist, but while she is in New York on a vacation, Miss Ravenel consented to act as organist. The heat and exertion are thought to have brought on the attack. Her body was taken from the church and carried to her late home on Greenville street, a few minutes after she expired. ' * - i - xi. ^ A most impressive ieaiure 01 me death was the fact that as the Rev. Mr. Williams noticed that she was seriously sick, he asked the audience to bow their heads and the prayer for the sick was offered, and as death closed about the good woman, the prayer for the dying was offered. Miss Ravenel was about 65 years of age. She is survived by three sisters, Misses "Susie S., Lydia and Mary, and one brother, Mr. Harry Ravenel, of Jacksonville, Fla. The deceased was a member of St. Thaddeus church and one of the most active workers in church work in the city. She was a very conscientious lady and she was loved by all who knew her for her excellent qualities. The old family home is in Pinopolis, where the family resided before coming to Aiken. Fell in Attempt to Escape. Atlanta. Ga., June 27.?Mrs. Philip N. Jobson, who fell from the second story window of an office building in Atlanta Saturday afternoon in attempting to evade her husband, who had trapped her in the room with another man, was removed from the hospital this afternoon to her father's home, with prospects favoring her recovery. Harry Wolford, Mrs. Jobson's companion.in the room, who was locked up in connection with the affair on a charge of disorderly conduct, was released from custody late this afternoon on bail in the sum of $700. Jobson did not visit his wife at the hospital to-day. It is said that he will institute proceedings for divorce. CASE WILL BE DROPPED. Texas District Attorney Cannot Get i Mrs. Gibson to Attend. I A dispatch from San Antonio, Tex., received yesterday states that a motion has been made to dismiss tho1 case against Rufus Williams of this city, charged with assault and robbery. The motion was made by the assistant district attorney of Bexar county and will be granted, the ground being that the trial cannot proceed because of the absence of the State's most important witness, Mrs. Sallie A. Gibson. The case will be recalled as a most remarkable one. Williams accompanied Mrs. Gibson to Texas and there she charged that he took $60,000 in cash from her. Williams was arrested within an hour and tried later, after being released on bond. The jury failed to agree. Another charge of assault was also brought against him and this case will also be dropped, the district attorney stating that he cannot get Mrs. Gibson to attend. Williams has returned to this State and is now conducting a livery stable in Brook land. Mrs. Gibson was a relative of the late Squire Meetze and inherited ,a very large amount of money. A great deal of this she converted into cash because of her distrust of the banks. Several attempts were made to rob her house on upper Main street when it became known that she had money in her possession. However, none of these succeeded.?Columbia State. Tillman Votes for Free Wood. Washington, June 26.?The lum ber question came up in the senate again to-day, and Senator Tillman got the opportunity to vote for a free lumber amendment which made no exceptions whatever. Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas,' offered the amendment and Senator Tillman voted for it. Scarcely any interest was taken in it, Senator Davis having a hard time getting the required one-fifth of those present to ask for a roll call. The senate seems to consider that the fight and the vote on the question of free lumber was settled when the McCumber amendment was acted on. Outside of Tillman's vote there was no change in the vote of any senators present from the way they voted before on the McCumber amendment, which left certain hard woods with a duty of 50 cents a thousand. Fight Over Money. Bennettsville, June 27.?Ed. Sauls, machinist at the Marlboro cotton mills, late to-day was shot and probably fatally wounded by H. B. Hayes, nieht watchman for the mill. Three or four shots were fired by each man. Hayes has been lodged in jail, pending the result of Sauls' injuries. There is conflict of statement as to which man fired the first shot. The difficulty, it seems, grew out of a dispute as to changing a $5 bill. Physicians to-night seem to think there is little hope of Sauls' recovery. Sauls was shot in the breast. William Rudd Killed. Greenwood, June 28.?William G. Rudd, a traveling salesman for the Durst-AndreXvs Company, was killed to-day in an automobile, which was struck by the Seaboard vestibuled train at Salak, four miles west of here. One of the eyewitnesses, Mrs. Malone, saw Mr. Rudd stop the auto-1 mobile as he saw the train on the crossing. He jumped out, but on the roArinc I wruug siuc, in nuui wi. xuwTAuc train, which first struck the automobile and threw the automobile on Rudd. He was picked up and carried to Abbeville, but died on the way. He was brought back on the next train. He leaves a widow, who was Miss Sarah Cothran, of a prominent family by that name. No children survive him. He was a fine young man and well thought of in this community. Negro Wounds Pursuers. Adrian, Ga., June 29.?Fighting in a swamp with a cheap, small calibre pistol, Robert Jenkins, a negro accused of murder, to-day held at bay a sheriff's posse until he had wounded two of them and then exclaiming,! "Lord, have mercy on my soul!" he dropped dead, riddled with rifle and pistol balls. Jenkins last week shot and killed George Howarth, a farmer, and fatally wounded Mrs. Howarth. He was tracked to the swamp early to-day. The wounded possemen were not seriously hurt. They are W. S. Clements, who was shot in the foot, and Y. L. Hall, who was struck in the thigh by a pistol ball. Both live at Adrian. Practically every man in the posse sent lead ' ? a - t ? "\fr?o Ufnrarth ill IU JCU&IUS UUUJ. .IU O. v~, though her case is almost hopeless, has surprised the attending physicians by her vitality. It is stated that Jenkins was found as the result of his efforts to obtain food from the home of a negro who refused to aid j him and sounded the alarm as soon j as Jenkins left the house. The wife i of Jenkins is in the jail here and considerable excitement has been caused by the assertion that she planned a double murder and ordered her hus-i band to "shoot Mrs. Howarth first." The negro's first shot dropped Mrs. Howarth. May Lynch Woman. Wrightsville, Ga., June 29.?The posse which shot to death Robert Jenkins to-day has been increased tonight and the report reaches here that Jenkins' wife will be taken from the jail and lynched. The wounding of two members of the posse by Jenkins has whipped the indignation of . the men into a fury. ' | IN THE PALMETTO STATE f ' SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS i ,:vKINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

WHAT IX HELLA MAKA DE ICHA Italian Laborers Routed by Red Bugs Near Savannah. Uorincr +>ioir interview with '^?3 # naviug tuvii -?- ? _ fed. bugs, and ignorant as to the habits of the miserable little insect, some 40 or 50 Italian laborers from New York, constructing a sawmilt .-3^9 near Mcintosh,, declared they were 'S. infected with a new plague. The sawmill is being constructed ^ by a Buffalo firm. The Italians were sent to cut down timber and while they were doing so the little bug got in its work. As soon as the Italians ' ||j saw^ themselves breaking out in bumps they held a council of war . ' and a strike was imminent, the Italians believing they had been brought to a country to suffer from a new and ? rvlo mio iriucu Ui caucu yiagu^. . With much arm shading and vocif- yM erous outbursts of pigeon English and real Italian, the laborers demanded of their employer, "Whata in de hella it was that itcha and itcha and then maka da sore."

Greenwood, June 28.?Here is a snake story to match that tale of the cooter sent out from here last week. Mr. W. J. Wells, of this place, vouches for the snake story, the detune nf TctMrh are furnished by Mr. Pope Riddlehuber. Mrs. Walter Riddlehuber, who lives about four miles east of town, had occasion to open a drawer which had not been opened for some time. To her surprise and astonishment she found a higlland moccasin .pf tremendous size coiled up.in the' drawer. How long the snake had been in there is not known. He was there and had been there some time. It seems that he could not get out and being attacked by the pangs of hunger he proceeded to devour what was around him in the way of laces and ribbons and had laid away a considerable amount of such things. In fact, Mr. W. J. Wells, who happened along * ' ' ' , -1 J 1-. 11 4.U* EDOUt tnai time, neipeu nni iuc suaac and saw that about four yards of lace was removed from his snakeship's/ mouth. Struck by a Train.
