NO BISHOP FOR NEGROES. Cincinnati Convention Puts Quitus on 1 the Matter. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 19.?An amendment! to the constitution of the Pro- a testant Episcopal church calling for a the estaoiisnment or missonary uia- i tricts along racial lines was voted i down decisively by the house of depu- 1 ties at the triennial convention of I that body. The negroes have long i wanted a bishop of their own but the i vote to-day was of such a character ( as to quiet any suggestions along this 1 line that might be made in the near I future. Rev. Jos. Dunn of the dio- i nf Southern Vireinia. in SDeak- t ing against the adoption of the a amendment said: "The emancipa- c tion of the negroes was a dire dis- I aster as the negro at that very time c was in need of all the teachings and t help that' could bo given to him by i his white brother. They lost all of 1 this and the church has 45 years of i misguidance to undo. c "The negroes cannot grasp the c iHoa r>f tho r>hiirr>h as vpt Thpir rp- I t ligion at the present is mostly emo- f tional and I believe that the passage c of this amendment would be fatal in r regard to the negroes." d CHARLESTON HAS 58,833. ? Population of City Increased by 3,026 Over 1900?Columbia 26,319. Washington, Oct. 20.?According ^ to the official count of the returns of the thirteenth census, the poulation of the city of Charleston is 58,833, as compared with 55,807 in 1900; and ? 54,955 in 1890.

CARLISLE GUILTY. n Convicted on Five Counts?Less Than a $500 Involved. e Greenville, Oct. 20.?After a nine- J day trial, Milton Anderson Carlisle, . formerly president of the Newberry n National Bank, was this morning " ? found guilty in the United States Dis- 11 trict Court', on five counts of an in- ^ dictment containing 162 counts, alleging misappropriation of the funds of the bank. The verdict was not ^ guilty as to the remainder of the in- ' dictments. A motion for a new trial by the attorneys for the defence will be argued before Judge Brawley Monday afternoon. ' >j Three of the five counts upon which Mr. Carlisle was convicted are based on drafts drawn by the Cold Point Granite Company, which the s< bank paid, but which were refused a navment by the parties they were p drawn upon, the bank not being re- p imbursed. Mr. Carlisle was presi- 11 Is? / dent and treasurer of this company. e< The other two counts are based on misapplication of funds, wrhich were paid in by a farmer upon notes due 0 ; the bank, hut which Mr. Carlisle is S1 allied to have applied to his own A y"{ use. The total amount of money in- ei |v' . * volved in all these transactions is Vl less than $500. The bulk of the in- 0 dictraent upon which he was found a guilty was based upon overdraft of his a personal account and of the account of the Cold Point Granite Company, IpjK ' to a considerable sum, when "he had ^ Hst? no reasonable ground to believe that 0 these funds would be repaid;" that ei both Mr. Carlisle and the company ^ were insolvent or hopelessly involvMr. Carlisle is 70 years of age and c had been presidert of the National Bank of Newberry since 1899. The 0 indictment, however, covers only the a years 1907 and 1908. The case was a begun on October 10, the true bill v having been rendered by the grand s of tho cpssinn of this court a year ago.

Y., and it will cost about $60,000. ? The contract has been awarded to A. M. Hunter & Son, of Irvington, and it is expected that it will be ready for Miss Gould's use when she rejV . S turns in the spring. The building ~ will be 140 feet long and 60 feet wide and is to be built of brick with Indiana limestone trimmings. The poo! will be 70 feet long by 35 feet wide.

Manning, Oct. 19.?Ned Blackwell, i prominent negro farmer, who lives i ibout four miles south of Manning, s s in jail here to await the developnents of pistol shot wounds inflicted ( >y him on the person of one Joe ( -.ewis, a chain gang trusty. Accord- i ng to a report, a negro convict worn- t ng on the chain gang, a few miles z >ut on the Sumerton road, made I lis escape last Saturday, and Joe ( -.ewis, the trusty, was armed and sent ( n search of the fugitive. He went f o Black well's place Saturday night I md acted in such a manner as to ause Blackwell to order him away, t Je refused to go and Blackwell fired s >n him with a pistol, wounding him s wice, once in the left wrist and again 1 n the left chest near the collarbone, r rhe ball of this second wound is still t n the body, together with fragments ( >f soiled clothing. Such being the t ase, while he is now apparently get- I ing along very well, the attending I ?hysician cannot certify that he is t iut of danger, and hence the comnittinsr magistrate cannot admit the a lefendant, Blackwell, to bail. It is \ aid that Blackwell is quite a success- 1 ul farmer, making about 100 bales p f cotton a year. I WOMAN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. ! r Irs. Daisy Kennedy, of Lake City, ^ Takes Dose of Laudanum. c Lake City, Oct. 19.?Mrs. Daisy [ennejly, a respectable white woman f this town, attempted suicide last * ight. She took two ounces of laudnum. Medical aid was summoned s soon as the attempt was discoverd. which was within a few moments. c ty close attention and use of proper t ntidotes fatal results were averted, e ut it was several hours after the t eadly draught Was taken before she j ,as out of danger. E Mrs. Kennedy, "who is the wife of t lr. J. E.

MAKING A CHEEK. t: d [an's Arm Sewn on His Face?Most a Remarkable Operation. ^ With the skin of his right arm n ?wn to his face and the whole arm ii nd head firmly inclosed in a heavy o laster cast, a patient at Guy's hos- t! ital is now undergoing one of the tl lost remarkable cures ever attempti at this institution. t) As the result of a slowly develop- v lg growth on the right cheek most T f the upper jaw and overlying tis- 1< les had to be removed six years ago. ii fter this operation a hollow large E aough to hold a hen's egg and de- c Did of skin remained. The present li peration is an attempt to cause the f; rm to take root over the denuded S rea so as to provide a new cheek. At the operation, which was per- E )rmed ten days ago, an area of skin vo inches square was lifted from * ver the right biceps, so that three iges were free, the fourth side being >ft attached to the arm. The paent's arm was then raised and bent . ti ver his head, so that the bend of his ^ Ibow touched his forehead. The ^ ree end of the flap was then drawn j ver the sunken part of the cheek ^ nd stitched to the side of the nose nd mouth. The whole arm and head ^ rere then firmly bandaged, and a ^ trong plaster cast was applied. - . "The skin flap had to be left at- ^ ached to the arm," one of the surv enos explained yesterday, "that it t ould have some blood supply until ew vessels have formed at the point fhere the flap is sewn to the nose. In en days' time, that is three weeks fter the operation, we shall cut away he square of skin from its remaining t ttachment on the arm and sew it ^ ?ver the remainder of the gap. We f an then remove the patient's plaster ast and free him from his uncomortable position." As a rule these operations fail be- ] ause the patient is unable to withtand the pain of his cramped posiion and tears the arm away before 1? m.Anclv +ol.-on rnnt lie liay lias [Aivpcii; bUnvu vvv.

New York, Oct. 22.?Notwithstandng half-hearted denials, it can be j itated that negotiations are under- j vay for the purchase of the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway by the Chesapeake and Ohio. The former oad, according to the report, will be extended from its present terminals, it Dante, Virginia, to Elkhorn City, 1 {y., where it will connect with the Chesapeake and Ohio, thus giving the Clinchfield Road a Western outlet < rom the coal and lumber fields of Kentucky. It has been known for some time hat t both the Chesapeake and Ohio i tnd tne seaooara Air L,ine were cou.idering the purchase of the Caroina and Clinchfield, and it has been eported several times that one or he other was about to take over. The Carolina and Clinchfield reaches tidewater over the Seaboard Air Line Railway, with which it connects at 3ostic, X. C., and the two roads mainain close relations. The Carolina and Clinchfield has :lso arranged with the Southern Railway to send its coal over the latter's j ine from Spartanburg, S. C., the iresent terminus of the Clinchfield toad, to Charleston, S. C., where the < atter is building immense docks to : landle coal for export. Ultimately, t is said, the Carolina and Clinch- , ield will extend its own line from Spartanburg to Charleston.
