The preacher, whose name has not been 1 3 ^ J fr\A^rtViOO ItcirHfU, IlctU liJdUC ayvcvusj ?? niv._i j angered the whites in his neighbor- j hood, and public indignation against! him was further inflamed by the fact ^ that he stopped at the home of the j negro William Carrikoer, who was | lynched Tuesday night, after he had j killed William Leonard, a white man I Sunday, while a posse of whites was searching for the preacher with the i intention of warning him away from j ^ the community. The preacher is said. to have influenced negroes not to work for whites. The posse is said to have whipped the preacher, but it is claimed that they did no other violence to him and that his death was accidental, due to falling from a bridge. $100 Reward, $100.

' . s New York, June 25.?Almost the , entire State of New York and prac" ^ " 1 J /sU/V-.N/l ucaiiy an 01 i\ew rjugiauu bwchcivu to-day. , , The maximum temperature recorded here was 92. There were at .least seven deaths in the city proper * due to heat, one suicide and two attempts at suicide. Prostrations were so frequent as to pass almost unnoticed. Conditions were almost unbearable in the affected centres of New England and many mills and Shops were closed. Two deaths were reported at Providence, R. I., and one at New Bedford, aMss. In New York city the east side suffered most and many of the small and poorly ventilated factories shut down during the afternoon. Starting at 78 at 8 o'clock this | morning, the mercury climbed I steady until it reached its maximum of 92 at 3 o'clock. At 5 o'clock a gale sprang up bringing with it a downpour of rain, with thunderstorm accompaniments. In less than 30 minutes the mercury dropped to 69. Several structures at Coney Island and vicinity were blown down and small boats were overturned, but no loss of life was reported. Life 100,000 Years Ago.

Mrs. Ridley Cleared. Newark, N. J., June 25.?Mrs. Francis J. Ridley, of Atlanta, Ga., to-day had the case which has been pending against her for several weeks thrown out of the courts. She was indicted on the charge of having stolen $2,000 won?' of jewelry belonging to Mrs. Anarew A. Albright, of New York, with whom she was a fellow passenger on a train from the South to New York early this year. On motion of the prosecution to-day the indictment was nol prossed. Mrs. Ridley was accused of having taken the stachel containing the jewelry, the property of Mrs. Alv bright, from the ladies' room of a Pullman car where its owner had left it. When arrested Mrs. Ridley explained that she was taking the satchel to turn it over to the railroad authorities. Shame on "Red Buck." * They've given our junior senator a new name up in Washington, so "Red Buck" Bryant says. "Red Buck" is the Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer and he loves a joke even better than Zach McGhee. He says: "When congress adjourns and the records are examined there will be the merest handful of Democrats who have not gone wrong, more or less, * if measured by the Denver platform. Senator Gore, more of a Populist than a Democrat?once a Populist now one?and Smith, of South Carolina, whose name has been changed from Gatling Gun Smith to Pop Gun Smith, or Light Wad Smith, will be all that is left of the Democratic party, if the promised weeding-out * comes." Now, isn't that awful? And cotton has not yet gone to 15 cents, either. Those Washington corerspondents are terribly irreverent and disrespectful, and it's no wonder the senators try to lick 'em every now and then. * Red Buck's got one coming to him now.?Columbia Record. K r CHEROKEE MAY VOTE. Petitions Ask for an Election as to the Whiskey Traffic. Gaffney, June 24.?Those who are circulating petitions in this county for the election as to whether or not the county will again have the dispensary claim that they have about SOU signers. This is more than one fourth of the qualified voters, and it iooks as if they will succeed in having the election ordered. Those who are opposed to the institution claim that no election can be held in Cherokee county because it is dry now; but the law provides that elections may be held in counties which are "'dry," provided that four years have elapsed since there has been an election upon the question, and as the dispensary was voted out on November 8, 1904, it will be seen that it will be legal to hold another election now as more than four years have elapsed since the election was held. Conditions have been so much bet- i ter in Cherokee since voting out the dispensary that there is no probability that in case the election be ordered it can be carried by the dispensary element. Paying for Salvation. The colored parson had just concluded a powerful sermon on "Salva- i tion Am Free" and was announcing that a collection would be taken for the benefit of the parson and his family. Up jumped an acutely brunette brother in the back of the church. "Look a-year, pahson," he interrupted, "yo' aint no sooner done tellin' us dat salvation am free dan yo' trn. ooHn' ?ie f/V mnnov Tf salvation am free, what's de use in payin' fo' it? Dat's what I want to know. An' I tell yo' p'intedly dat I ain't goin' to gib you nothin' until I find out. Now?" "Patience, brudder, patience," said the parson. "I'll 'lucidate: S'pose yo' was thirsty an' come to a river. Yo' could kneel right down an' drink yo' fill, couldn't yo'? An' it wouldn't c.ost yo' nothing,' would it?" "Ob cou'se not. Dat's just what I?" "Dat water would be free," continued the parson. "But s'posin' yo' was to hab dat water piped to yo' house? Yo' have to pay, wouldn't yo'?" "Yas, suh, but?" "Wal, brudder, so it is wid salvation. De salvation am free, but it's de havin' it piped to yo' dat yo' got to pay fo'. Pass de hat, deacon, pass de hat."?Everybody Magazine. ^11 L taurvij The best bred people of every Christian country, but our own, avoid all personal display when engaged in worship and prayer. Our churches, on the contrary, are made places for the exhibition of fine apparel and other costly, flaunting compliances with fashion, by those who boast of superior wealth and manners. We shall leave our gewgawed devotees to reconcile humiliation in worship with vanity in dress. That is a problem which we confess we have neither the right nor the capacity to solve. How far fine clothes may affect the personal piety of the devotee we do not pretend even to conjecture; but we have a very decided opinion in regard to their influence upon the religion of others. The fact is, that our churches are so fluttering wun Diras of fine feathers, that no sorry fowl will venture in. The poor are so awed by the pretension of superior dress that they naturally avoid too close proximity to them. The church being the only place on this side of the grave designed? for the rich and the poor to meet together in equal prostration before God, it certainly should always be kept free for this common humilitation and brotherhood. It is so in most of the churches in Europe, when the beggar in rags and wretchedness, and the wealthiest and most eminent, whose appropriate sobriety of dress leaves them without mark of external distinction, kneel down together, equalized by a common humiliation before the only Supreme Being. No person can attend upon the services of any of our churches, and worship God without distraction One needs continually to offer the prayer, "take off my eyes from beholding vanity." But he must bo blind to have his prayer answered, for the sight of the eyes always affects the heart. There is the rustle of rich silks, the flutter of gay fans, the nodding of plumes and flowers; the tilting of laces, of ribbon, of curls; there are bracelets and ear-rings; everything that is absurd and foolish in fashion; all these are between you and the speaker. How can you worship Cxoar now can you near with any profit? Showy dress should be worn at parties, the opera?anywhere but in the sanctuary. The adoption of more simple apparel for church on the part of the rich would have the effect, certainly not of diminishing their own personal piety, but probably of increasing the disposition for religious observance on the part of the poor.?From The Royal Path of Life. Grand Jury Criticizes Officials. Hampton, June 26.?The grand jury in rendering its report to the court here charged that there have been gross irregularities in the office of the clerk of he court during the incumbency of the late W. B. Causey and asked for assistance of counsel for a thorough investigation of af iaii o. The report also charges the magistrates of the county with being derelict in their duties and specially referred to the magistrate at Brunson, who it is alleged, allowed a corpse to lie from sunset Saturday afternoon until 9 o'clock Sunday without holding an inquest, and alleged failure of the magistrate's constable to serve warrants on criminals. The report also refers to the shortage in the office' of treasurer of Hampton county and states that they are doing all within their power for a settlement. WHISKEY SANDWICH. This is the Latest Evasion of the Liquor Law. A dispatch, from Birmingham, Ala., says the sale and distribution of the I whiskey sandwich is the latest methjod of evading the liquor laws in the : State of Alabama: Loaves of bread, cut and arranged to represent oyster sandwiches, are sold over the conn VI.. 1 ters ill luncnrooms. presumaui.. erated for that purpose, a bottle of J whiskey being arranged between the layers of the bread. It is said that questionable lunchrooms have sprung up all over the State, in which these contraband goods constitute practically the total bill of fare. The discovery of the whiskey sandwich was made by the warden at the Birmingham jail, who took it into his head to examine an apparently innnocent sandwich which was brought to the jail for one of the prisoners by a relative. The prisoner, Charles Smith, a negro, had only recently attempted to make his escape. The warden was suspicious that something might have been hidden in the unusually large sandwich. Upon opening the loaf a large bottle of whiskey was discovered. A rigid investigation was then put on foot, which resulted in the discovery that the whiskey sandwich is already an important article of commerce in Alabama. Prohibition in North Carolina. Mr. James M. Allen, Jr., is in the city to see his brothers from New York and from the army. Mr. Allen says that if one wants to know what prohibition really is they should visit North Carolina now and see the practical workings and the demoralization of labor and business from the blind tigers in spite of the Pinkerton detectives that are employed to run them to earth. Labor i ~n IS demoralized ueuause ail luc ucgroes can make more money as blind tigers than by honest work, and wages are too high even if we can get a man or woman to work. He says that there is more drunkenness on the streets now than he ever saw in Goldsboro before, and that the same is true of other towns in the State. The jug trains and express company are doing a big business. Sixty-five gallons of liquor in one day was counted a dull shipment for Goldsboro, and more money is going out of the community now for liquor than .ver before. Mr. Allen says that he is, and has always been an advocate of prohibition, but that he is convinced nov. ' that the passage of such a law un- j supported by the real sentiments of! the people, has worked for corruption and evil. He thinks likely that I the State legislature may repeal it next time and give the people local option as they had before, and under which temperance seemed to be advancing.?Florence Times. Sees Mother Grow Young. "It would be hard to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since she began to use Electric Bitters," writes Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrick, of Danforth, Me. "Although past 70 she seems really to be growing young again. She suffered untold misery from dyspepsia for 20 years. At last she could neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up and all remedies failed till Electric Bitters worked such wonders for her health." They invigorate all vital organs, cure liver and kidney troubles, induce sleep, impart strength and appetite. Only 50c. at Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C. "OBLIGED TO SEE FAMILY." Having Escaped from Chaingang, rnnriet Voluntarily Returned. Lexington, June 26.?After spending a week with his wife and children near Saluda court house, B. F. Rushton, the young white convict who escaped from the Lexington dhaingang Thursday a week ago, has returned to the camp to serve out the remainder of his sentence of eight months for forgery. It will be remembered that Rushton left camp just before a heavy rain and thunder storm ten days ago. It was thought at the time that Rushton possibly had been killed by lightning, but all efforts to find his body proved futile, and the heavy rain obliterated his tracks, so it was impossible to find out which way he had gone. Rushton came to Lexington on the train Thursday, just a week after he had skipped, and, upon learning that the chaingang had moved from where it was located when he left, he took the next train for Cayce. It is understood that he told Capt. Mack that he felt obliged to see his family, and that he had not made any effort to go further than his home. He says that he cut the shackles with the axe which he carried with him presumably to cut wood with, and that he left his stripes and chains in the woods. He wore an old suit of clothes that belonged to a negro at the camp. He says he walked all night and arrived at his home at about daybreak Friday morning. He ha da most delightful trip, he says, and is now ready to serve the remainder of his time. This is perhaps the first time in the history of this county that a prisoner has returned to the gang after staying off so long of his own volition. When he left he was a "trusty" and was filling the position of cook, but he is now shoveling dirt with the other prisoners, Capt. Mack being of the opinion that Rushton might want to go home to see his family again soon. It was stated in this correspondence a few days ago that Rushton was the seventh prisoner to escape from the gang within the last six months. This is an error. Only three prisoners have escaped from the gang since the new officers have been in charge, and' all of them have been cooks? "trusties." With the return of Rushton this leaves only two absent. But five escaped in November, last year, and only one of the five has been recaptured. CHECK WAS HONORED. i'oung Man Arrested at Spartanburg Released Under Bond. Spartanburg, June 25.?W. C. .Uieney, who was arrested here yes:cr.iay afternoon on the charge of issuing a check on a bank in which he !;ad not a sufficient sum to meet the check, was not committed to jail, as stated, but was released on bond as the check, it is alleged, was issued to the proprietor of the Victoria Hotel in Norfolk, Va., to satisfy a draft he had cashed while in Norfolk. The proprietor of the Buford Hotel in ; Charlotte had some trouble with Rheney, with reference to a draft, but the check drawn by Rheney was honored at a local bank to-day. < Rheney claims he has enough money on hand to meet all checks issued by him.

He is Accused of Entering House With Felonious Purpose. Aiken, June 26.?Everett Abney was brought to Aiken this morning by Constable Sawyer, from Ridge Spring. He is charged with entering the home of a prominent citizen near Ridge Spring. A great deal of excitement is said to have prevailed, and it is said attempts were made to deal out summary justice to the negro, but the officers were able to elude the pursuers and, by traveling practically all night, the constable reached Aiken this morning at five o'clock safely. Abney denies any connection or knowledge of the crime. He is not over 18 years of age. When the young lady awoke she felt the negro's hand ' on her face, and thinking it was her sister, she called to her to remove it, at which the negro became frightened and quickly made his escape through the door. As he was leaving, however, the girl's mother recognized him as Abney, who is a farm nana on the place. Evidence was further added against him, when the next morning he was not to be found on the place. A search was instituted for him. Sheriff Raborn spent yesterday there, trying to find the negro, and for the purpose of protecting him if his life was endangered. The negro was greatly frightened when he was brought here. He is a very intelligent looking negro. Whether he had the intention of assaulting the young lady or whether his motives were for robbery is not known, but the people generally believe that he had fiendish motives, as the lady was not making any noise at the time, and there was no need for him to try to force her to keep quiet, as she was asleep. It is stated by the officers that the negro will probably to taken to Columbia for safe keeping. A Night Rider's Raid. The worst night riders are calomel, croton oil or aloes pills.
