Loses an Arm.
Branchville, May 3.?This morning
about 9 o'clock Emerson Dukes, who
was employed at the lumber plant of
Sabin & Morrison as sawyer, struck
. his right arm against the saw and got
it cut off just below the elbow.
Mr. Dukes was immediately taken
to the office of Dr. Parker for treat<
ment.
Here Dr. Parker, together
' with the assistance of Drs. Fairey and
Wimberlv, amputated the arm at the
elbow joint. The wounded man is
resting as well as could be expected,
though he seems to be in considerable
pain.
The following which seems to cover
the whole field of ideal conduct, is
credited to Abraham Lincoln: "I
like to see a man proud of the place
in which he lives. I like to see a man
who lives in it live so'that his place
will be proud of him. Be honest, but
hate no one, overturn a man's
WTong doing, but do not overturn
him unless it must be done in overturning
the wrong. Stand with any>
body that stands right. Stand with
him when he is right and part with
him when he goes wrong."

LOCAL OPTIONIST WINS.
Emmett A. O'Neal Nominated for ]
Governor.
Montgomery, Ala., May 2.?Emmett
A. O'Neal, leader of the fight :
against the recent proposed amend- 1
ment to put prohibition in the consti- 1
tion of Alabama, defeated H. S. D. <
Afallorv. a suDDorter of the amend- :
ment, by a majority of between 20,- ;
000 and 25,000 for governor in the <
Democratic primaries hjld~ in Ala- <
bama to-day. United Spates Senator j
John H. Bankhead received a vote
which will probably equal the com- ;
bined vote of his two opponents, John !
B. Knox and Frank S. White, and is ,
assured of a new term in the senate.
The claim is made to-night that the <
majority of the delegates to the State i
convenion, which meets on May 15, <
will stand for local option and will in- ;
sist on a modification of the present <
State-wide prohibition laws. It is ;
also claimed that a majority of the ]
State senate will favor local option, ]
although the attitude of a majority of ;
the members of the house will not be I
known iintil later. i
It is accepted as certain that the ]
prohibitionVlaws of the State will be i
modified.
The anti-amendment candidates on 1
the State ticket appear to have made ;
a clean sweep.
The lines drawn in the recent pro- <
hibition amendment campaign were j
maintained in the primary to-day. The ]
candidates who supported the amend- i
ment received" practically the same <
vote as cast for the amendment, while 1
the anti-amendment candidates received
tl^e majorities cast in 'the various
counties against the prohibition
amendment.
What Science Says of Alcohol,
irhis is an age in the history of the
temperance reform when science
comes to the front, turning her X-rays
upon alcohol, and shows just what it
is. With unerring certainty it seeks
to focus the eyes of the world upon
this poison, and proclaims it to be an
enemy deserving nothing short of destruction
and death up to within a
few years men have looked upon the
effects of drink, and turned away
with disgust, while the State has built
refuges in which to punish the victims
and get them out of the public
eye. Science now steps forward, calls
the attention away from results and
fixes it upon the cause, and says:
"Behold in alcohol,a deadly enemy.
It has no redeeming feature. It
strikes at every vital organ in the
human body and leaves it worse than
it found it. It creates an appetite for
itself, that it may more surely do its
work, and attack's the mental, moral
and physical powers at one and the
same time. It deceives its victim
into believing that it will cool him in
the heat of summer, and warm him
in the cold of winter. It points the
way from virtue to vice, and marks
out thfr road to the jail, the work1
otiH fho ?fl1]nVR.
11UUSC, kUC isuu, uuu o?
It breaks down the will power and 1
laughs at its slave as he tries to i
break his chains." <
Thus speaks science, and it is en- 1
couraging to note that many of the
daily papers and most of the religious 3
journals are giving voice and wings <
to the utterances of some of the lead- t
ing scientists and physicians of the i
world. Many of the latter say alco- 1
hoi has no virtue as a medicine, and
have excluded it from their practice
In a recent article by Woods Hutchinson,
A. M., M. D., he makes the ^
following points worth heeding: 1
"No human being ever developed 1
an instinct or natural liking for alco- (
holic drinks. ' 1
"Alcohol is a toxin or poison, pro- 1
duced by one germ to destroy an- '
other.
"The seeming improvement' in one'3 1
"1 * ?1 onmP. ^
piiySlUitl UULLU1 UUil luat aituuui
times produces is wholly imaginary, ]
and due merely to a deadening of the 1
nerves. 3
"While the taking of true foods
produces a sense, of satiety, alcohol 1
produces only an appetite with no 1
Natural or self-acting limitations.
"Is it reasonable to conceive that
a drug which has an unvarying ten
dency to exaggerate and increase all
that is worst in us, can possibly have
an improving and strengthening influence
upon our higher powers and '
tendencies?" !
We could quote from hundreds of
leading men, did space permit. Let 1
the voice of science be heard and 1
heeded. Let the truth be thundered !
from the pulpit, and in burning words 3
taught to the youth in the Sunday 1
and public schools. Draw the pro- J
hibitory line, not simply at the thres- ]
hold of the saloon, the brewery an& 1
distillery, but also at the door of ..he
"house beautiful."?Rev. C. R. Mead,

JURY INDICTS PACKERS.
Presents Bill Against Firms and Inc
viduals.
Savannah, Ga., April 30.?As a r
suit of the investigation which h
been carried on by the federal ju
bere~for several days into the pric
?f meats in Savannah and the caus
for them, an indictment' was return*
against five of the big packing co
?erns and three men, local manage
3f three of the packing houses,
Individuals.
The investigation began when tl
iurv heard an arraignment of tl
30-called beef trust, delivered 1
Judge Emory Speer.
The indictment is brought again
Cudahy & Co., the Schwartzchild
Sulzberger Beef company, Swift
2o., the Armour Packing compai
and the Nelson Morris company ;
corporations and Fred M. Hull, J:
as local manager for the Nelson Mc
ris company; William D. Cooper,
local manager for Armour & Co., ai
Emmet B. Adams, as local manag
for Swift & Co. The Savannah re
resentatives of the two other packii
houses named in the indictment a
aot mentioned.
The datee of operations for whi<
the indictment is brought is for t]
rear 1908.
It is alleged that the packing hou
as named in the indictment boug
and slaughtered live stock at vario;
points in the West and Northwe?
shipped fresh meats to Savannah, r
iuced the price of meats and so
them on the market at a loss. T1
result of this manipulation is alleg<
[o have compelled the South Atlant
Packing and Provision company
Savannah to sell its product at a lo
and was a conspiracy in restraint
business, trade and commerce. Tl
intent of the larger packing hous
is alleged to have been to force tl
local house out of the field of comp
tition.
The second count alleges that b
wfien June 10 and August 1, 190
ill of the defendants effected a com!
lation whereby they fixed arbitrar
ion-competitive and exorbita
prices for meats, thus eliminatii
:hat competition which should natu
illy exist among them.
William D. Cooper, one of the d
fendants, is now in Nashville, Teni
md Fred M. Hull, Jr., is at Litt
Rock, Ark. It is expected that se
dee will be effected immediately <
;he defendants and bonds made.
In discharging the grand ju
ludge Speer said that acknowledg
nents were gratefully returned i
;hat body for what was sure had be<
i valuable service to the public.
Two assistants to the attorney ge
jral, W. L. Gregg and O. E. Haga
laveiiad the matter of the investig
Jon in charge, and probably will r
main here for several days longer.
The indictments are brought und
:he act of congress "to protect trai
md commerce against unlawful r
3traints and monopolies." The i
ieged offense is punishable by a fi]
lot exceeding $5,000 on each cou
ir a penitentiary service of a year i
both.
The action of the grand jury can
aot at all as a surprise. The stat
if the Savannah meat prices has loi
>een the basis for comment and it w
known yesterday that an indictme
svas being drawn by experts.
Sits on Hatpins.
Los Angeles, May 2.?Percy Vj
Dyke, a visitor from New York, e
tered a motion picture theatre ye
terday, pushed his way along a rc
Df seats occupied mostly by wome
sat down and instantly leaped in
the air, yelling. He had sat down <
a phalanx of long hat pins.
His body shot into the darkne
and he landed in the lap of a worn*
in front. This woman's escort ii
mediately leaped upon Van Dyke a]
there were signs of panic when t]
police were called.
Van Dyke was found to be seriou
[y injured and was taken to a recei
ing hospital.
A CHlUAtiU uittL a iviuiv.
With One Blow From Her Boot SI
Kills a Bulldog.
With one kick of her right foot M
Ired Wilson, of West Randoli
street, Chicago, a few days ago, brol
the neck of a large bulldog that s
tacked her on the way home from
aearby store. Miss Wilson, who is
slender girl, 19 years old, has be<
practicing stage dancing, and to tfc
3he gives the credit of having be<
able to ward off the attack of the ai
mal. She was returning from tl
store with her arms full of bundl
when the dog rushed at her. SI
jumped to one side.
Before the dog could attack h
again Miss Wilson was prepared, ai
as the animal jumped she swung h
right foot, which was encased in
heavy walking shoe, against the dog
eliin, much in the manner in which
football player kicks a goal. The d<
gave an agonized yelp and dropped
Its tracks dead. No Booner had tl
girl realized what she had done thi
she began to cry out of sympathy *'f
the animal that had attacked her.
FUEL OF THE FUTURE.
li- Oil May Supplant Coal in the United
States Navy. ~
e- Substitution of oil for coal as fuel
as on United States cruisers and battlery
ships is being so seriously contem-.
es plated by the naval authorities that
es its early adoption by the navy is now
^d generally considered certain. Recent
n- experiments have demonstrated, it is
rs reported, that the plan is not only
as feasible, but a great improvement
over the use of coal. It not only gives
tie the shiDs a ereater steaming radius,
le according to experts, but it elimint>y
ates the telltale trail of smoke that
in the event of war could easily best
tray the whereabouts of a fleet.
& Vessels now being built for the
& United States government are being
ly equipped with auxiliary oil apparatus,
as This is regarded as the first step of
r., the government in its contemplated
ir- plan to eliminate the use of coal. If
as the results prove satisfactory and it
id can be demonstrated that a vessel of
er war can be better propelled by tne
p- power derived from the use of oil as
lg locomotives are in the west, then the
re substitution of oil for coal will be
made.
2h The change, it is believed, will be
ae of great benefit, as it will enable the
government to dispense with the seris
vices of half of the men now employht
ed in the boiler rooms, will save
us space, do away with smoke and elimi5t,
nate the laying up of vessels for days
e- at a time in order to take a coal supId
ply aboard. A way can be devised
tie for the filling of the oil tanks of the
?d vessels in a few h<Surs. At present
;ic several days are lost in filling the
of bunkers with coal.

0? Little Girl Suicides.
tie
eg Alton, 111., April 26.?Nina Anthis,
13 years old, committed suicide in
e_ school to-day in the presence of her
teacher and thirty school mates by
? drinking carbolic acid.
tr
g She left a pathetic note in which
she said that her heart^was broken
because her foster mother scolded
her. She asked that she be buried
lg with a favorite doll and wedding ring
r_ that had been left her by her own
mother.
e_ She remained in the room during
j recess, but took her place in the line
^ with the class for roll call. As her
name was reached she stepped from
)n the line and without a word, drained
a two-ounce bottle of acid.
^ Danville Votes Wet.
eto
Danville. Va., April 28.?Danville
3n voted wet to-day by a majority of
ten votes in a total of 1, 154 cast, afa
ter a vigorously fought contest. Seven
a, years ago Danville voted against the
a,, open saloon, and since that time
e- three additional elections have been
held, the result alternating each
er time. { ^ f
3e While within one hundred votes of
e- the total registration were polled, the
election passed off without disorder of
ae any kind, frhe women and children
at were not in evidence at the pollls. No
or statement was given out to-night by
the dry leaders as to the result. The
ae city council will, it is expected, fix
us the license tax and regulations withag
in the next thirty days,

5n Lexington, May 1.?A novel suit?
and one without a precedent in this
ss State, according to well informed
111 lawyers?is going to be fought out
n" in the courts of this county. It is a
1(* damage suit brought by Ernest M.
k? DuPre, of Columbia, against Lexington
county for the sum of $99.75 for
ls~ alleged injuries to his automobile
v" while on a fishing jaunt last summer.
On the 28th of May Mr. DuPre was
returning to his home in the city over
the Dunbar road, leading from Onie
Ij,g Steele's fish pond. He alleges in the
complaint that his machine struck a
stump, and as a result the car was
wrecked, which made it necessary for
him to "foot" it into Columbia, a dis1

a Said Negro Fired Bullet. 5n
lis Charleston, S. C., April 30.?The
3n inquest held to-day on the death of
ii- Miss Musgrove threw little light on
he the mysterious tragedy of Thursday
es night in which the young woman was
he fatally shot and her companion,
Clarence jGrimshawe, was wounded by

tion of the girl was read, saying she
er had been attacked by a negro. Grima
shawe's deposition was presented, dej's
claring he was shot from behind by
a an unknown nartv.
ag The police established an alibi for
in the girl's three brothers and suggestbe
ed the theory that Grimshawe shot
in the girl though no explanation in that
or event of the wounding of the man was
attempted.
