RICHARDS IS UNCERTAIN. ? Doubts the Propriety of Pressing State-Wide Bill. A State-wide prohibition bill might get through the next legislature, and Governor Ansel, although he was elected-on a local option platform and has always recommended the continuance of this policy in his annual messages, will not only sign a Statewide bill if it is passed but will welcome its passage, but, following his custom he will take no part in getting such an act through. Still, a State-wide bill is going to be doggedly disputed in the Senate, it a-nt its death blow last ses sion. and it is not going to have any easy sailing in the house, where it passed last spring by a majority of IS votes, on the motion to advance it from second to third reading. True. C. A. Smith and M. L. Smith and others in the house, and particularly the prohibition workers outside of the house and senate, are elated over the gains of prohibition this summer and have announced theii ' determination to press forward for State-wideism hext spring, but there; are others, none the less prohibition- J ists, who consider themselves bound ! by the agreement, reached last spring, | whereby the present law got into existence. Representative John G. Richards, Jr., the prohibition floor leader in the house and author of the prohibition bill which passed the house, has himself undergone a change of view. He declined, when asked the direct question, to say what position he would take. He said he was still as strong a State-wide prohibitionist as ever, but he has not made up his mind as to the propriety of advocating Statewide prohibition in the present legislature. True, he was not a party to the compromise of last spring, and took occasion then several times to 4 warn the friends of the bill not to enter into any agreement, that the prohibitionists were sure of success finally and that they would be unwise to step into this agreement trap laid by the wily local option politicians. Still he feels that it is possible he might be regarded as geing bound by this agreement to a certain extent, inasmuch as he along with other prohibitionists is enjoying the fruits of that compromise.?Columbia Record.! I ? Mnrripr i? Snswrtpd. Georgetown, Sept. 18.<?It transpires that the white man who, about J three weeks ago was found dead in j the Sampit river, near the wharf of; the Waccarnaw Steamboat company, i and suppored to have been drowned, | was one of a party of tourists from : Philadelphia, who arrived in this port as passengers on the steamship Xavahoe, the day before the said event. He was connected with the Pittsburg Steel Works, of Pittsburg, Pa. He was traveling for his health, which had been failing for some time, and; had come here for the purpose of seeing the old Harvest Moon. A letter of inquiry has been received here by the Clyde's officials from a Mrs. Morrison, of Newark, X. J., seeking in-; formation concerning this stranger, stating she was one of the party of tourists, and wanted to know the cause of his absence from the ship when it sailed from this port. , It is further ascertained that the Wednesday night previous to his death, he had roomed in the city with a Mr. Newman, who had been a barber at Rosemary, such was the infor- 1 mation given the captain on his north-bound trip by Mr. Newman, who was then a passenger going North, and that the stranger had left him next morning and said he must tell the captain not to wait on him, as he would meet him in Wilmington, N. C., and not to be alarmed if he did not sail with him from this port. This is said to be the last seen of him until his body was found floating in the river next morning. The captain states that the man had about $50 or $60 in a large wallet when he ' first came aboard his ship, and the presumption is now that he was killed and thrown overboard, as his throat was very purple when his body was taken out of the water, evidenc- J: ing that he had been strangled to death. 1 HORSEWHIPS A MAGISTRATE. Crowd Sees Rancher's Wife Resent Alleged Disparaging Remarks. Los Angeles,Sept.l8.?For alleged disparaging remarks touching her character, Mrs. George Clark, wife of a wealthy rancher of Antelope township, publicly horsewhipped Justice of the Peace O. S. Bulkley at Lancaster Sunday morning. In the presence of several hundred persons at the Southern Pacific depot the indignant woman diligently plied the lash until restrained by a constable. Details of the whipping reached here to-day. "You're just the man I'm looking for," was the greeting of Mrs. Clark as she approached the Justice. Four times she brought the lash down with telling effect and each time it cut across the judge's face. Mrs. Clark has not been arrested. Love Leads Man to Prison. Baltimore, Sept. 15.?For swearing falsely to the age of his sweetheart in order to secure a marriage license, William Moore was to-day sentenced to four years in the penitentiary "by Judge William H. Forsyth, Jr., of Ellicott City, Md. Moore obtained a license to marry Elizabeth Saylor of this city, representing that she was 18 years of age when in fact she was scarcely 15. The pair were married August 9 and later went to the home of the girl's mother. The latter, instead of receiving the youthful couple with a parental blessing, had the bridegroom arrested. His trial and conviction followed. It was thought the matter might be compromised, but Mrs. Saylor, the girl's mother, was obdurate, and is said to have insisted that the law be executed. The Herald Book Store can furnish wedding presents in fancy china and cut glass. Some beautiful novelties received last week. PASTOR OFFERS PRIZES. Box of Candy for Woman Bringing Two Men to Church. Every young woman who takes two young men to Sunday-school at the Christian German Lutheran church of Hazelton. Pa., next Sunday will be awarded a prize by the pastor, Rev. J. O. Schlenker. The prize will be a large box of candy, and he says he hopes he will have to buy it by the wholesale. There has been such a large falling off in the attendance of the young men in the classes that Rev. Schlenker determined some novel way must be adopted of getting them to be present, and he decided to use the influence of the young ladies of the ronerrP2'ation. Manv of them have already said they would enter heartily into the spirit of the plan and would easily win the candy. Rev. Schlenker does not say whether he will continue the practice each Sunday or not. Meeting of Farmers' Union. Ehrhardt, S. C.. Sept. 6. 1909.

Charleston Drug Manufacturing Co., Charleston, S. C. Dear Sirs: For a number of years i have been a great sufferer of rheumatism and backache. About two months ago i heard of Varn's Rheumatic Remedy being fine, and a sure cure for rheumatism and backache, and i went to the Wimberly Drug Co. at once and got a bottle. I have taken two bottles, and am proud to say that I am just as clear of rheumatism and backache as I ever was. I am 62 years old, and I consider this medicine wonderful to cure a man at my age. You, nor any one else, can recommend it too highly. I consider it a great blessing to humanity that this remedy has been discovered. I gained six pounds while I was taking two bottles Yours resnectfullv, A. H. BRUCE. CASES WILL CAUSE SURPRISE. Sensational Evidence to Appear During Dispensary Trials. Columbia, Sept. 17.?The evidence which will be brought out in the forthcoming dispensary graft trials will be of a startling nature. The surprise will not come so much from the fact that there has been corruption in the management of the old State dispensary; but it will be the boldness and carelessness of the State's trusted agents and the whiskey men, the latter so used to deals of this kind and who would naturally be thought to do their work better that will be the basis of the unexpected in the trial of these cases. Of course the prosecution is guarding its case jealously, and only an outline can De glimpsed Dy tne Dest positioned observers, but enough is known to make the prediction safe that in several of the trials at least very strong cases will be made out, and it will not be surprising if there are several convictions. And there are also indications that several of those under indictment are doing a lot of quaking, where, up to recently they did a lot of laughing. And the feeling in Columbia as to the probability of convictions is beginning decidedly to change. For some reason the feeling appears to have prevailed here and elsewhere over the State that the trials would amount to very little so far as tangible results are concerned, and it has been freely predicted that there would not be a conviction in any of the cases. The State will push the prosecution as rapidly as possible, but not even the Attorney General's office hopes to get to a trial of all of the cases. Now it is practically promised that the men under indictment will have no monopoly in the business of being defendants, and several other sensational arrests are expected, but these will be delayed for several months yet. The evidence in the rtlf n Kah + f a fol'A trill /Innhf Cl iaio auvuv tv tang rt in uvuw~ less make guessing as to who these gentlemen will be easier. In this connection it is pointed out that a certain shining mark for prosecution has been making frequent trips to Atlanta during the past several weeks, which circumstance fits in with other facts pointing to his giving aid to the prosecution. The reason why some three or four men have not been indicted will likely be revealed a little later. Broom Gets Hearing. Lancaster, Sept. 15.?Cecil Broom, the young business man of Waxhaw, X. C., charged with criminally assaulting a young lady of the Van Wyck section of this county, who was recently captured in Atlanta and brought here by Sheriff Hunter, had a preliminary hearing this afternoon before Magistrate Caskey in the court house. Several witnesses were examined, among them the young lady herself. The magistrate has not yet decided the matter, having the case still under consideration. When the case came up this afternoon some 200 or 300 people were in the court house, but before the investigation began all were excluded except detectives and witnesses. In addition to local counsel several attorneys from North Carolina were present. A court official present said the State made out a weak case. HIGHEST TOWN IS THE WORLD. Mining Station Run by Americans Far Up in the Andes. Cerro de Pasco is the highest town in the world. The remarkable broad gauge railway by which it is reached passes over a higher altitude?about that of Mont Blanc?and there are mining camps and Indian villages at greater elevations. It is also true that there are higher railway stations, for on the Arequipa-Puno line the station of Cruc-ero Alton attains the stupendous elevation of 14.660 feet: but at 14,200 feet above the sea level there is no other real town of S,000 inhabitants, with a railway station, telegraph. telephones, churches, shops, clubs, hospitals and vice consuls. It is a wonderful example of American enterprise. The section of the railway which i runs from Oroya to this town belongs to the Cero de Pasco Mining company. and is extremely comfortable, smooth running and fast, considering the gradients. It passes through fine grassy valleys grazed by countless herds of lamas, and the blue sky. the sparkling streams, the snow peaks, combine with the green pastures to give a delightful variety of colors which afford a striking contrast to the uniform brown hue of the barren Chilean Andes. To get a fair view of Cerro de Pasco it is necessary to go to the top of a high rock near the railway station. The town with its little thatched houses and narrow streets, lies in a large undulating basin in which the chief features are the tall chimneys and other buildings belonging to the mines. In the distance a large lake can be seen, and all around the horizon is studded with snow capped heights. At our feet is a busy scene. The useful Indian is everywhere?now driving herds of lamas, the universal j mountain carrier, now riding mules or driving small carriages over the undulating roads?and all his business is a part of the great work of extracting copper and silver from the deep shafts. The rosy cheeks of the i Indian children, whose healthy color shines through their brown skin, is an unusual sight in sallow South America, for the climate is healthy and invigorating. In the winter there is a great deal of rain and sleet, but the summer is bright and crisp and all the year round the temperature is equable, one of moderate cold in which the thermometer seldom falls j much below freezing point. Everything at Cero de Pasco is J "run" by the American. There is a spacious club where bowls are played nightly, and in the hollow below thereis a baseball ground. Both these games are characteristically American; they are played at high pressure the whole time; the biggest match \ can be played in about in one and a half hours and the players are near enough to the spectators to hear the comments, encouraging or otherwise, that are liberally bestowed. The hospitality of the Americans is unbounded and the life is one of the utmost good feeling and good fellowship. The only drawback to the visitor's enjoyment is the soroche or mountain sickness, which is almost certain to attack a newcomer unless ascends by very gentle stages. Trespassers in Trouble. The railroad commission has been notified of two other accidents, both on the Southern and both near Branchville. One of these was of a rather outoMhe-ordinary nature, and may involve the death of one and possibly two white men, who, according to the railroad report, were both trespassers. The report says that on the 15th, W. C. Steadly and Anton Demil ''nnn.nr.i'otp/)" o 7.0117*00/4 tTOlnfMTIO/l O appi iatwU Cl 1 U AAA ? VAWAj/VMV j belonging to a Western Union line- j man at work nearby, "without the ! lineman's knowledge or consent," to j go home on, and that the machine ' and pair were struck by a freight train before they got out of the Branchville yards. Steadly was severely cut about the head and otherwise injured, while Demil had his head "severely lacerated," his left shoulder dislocated and his left side crushed. Near this same point Superintendent Hungerford reports train No. 14 struck Patience Ancrum, who was attempting to cross the tracks, and instantly killed her. The report adds, "the remains were left in charge of two men." Lively Old Soldiers. David Whiteford. of Cross Hill, in his S9th year, rides his young mule in the olden-time horseback style. He never uses an eye-glass, although he can bring down the squirrel with his old-time, muzzle-loading rifle, yet. He still follows the plow, and says he expects to plow next year. John H. Pinson of the same territory and about the same age of Uncle Dave, although not so vigorous phy sicaliy, is still wen preserved, mentally. Lewis Martin, of Poplar Spring, in his &0th year plowed his little crop up to about three years ago. * At least two of these did active service in the war between the North and South.?Laurens Herald.
