BANKS SOCIETY'S PRESIDENT.
J. M. Cantey Elected Secretary Over
I). Frank Efird.
Columbia, Nov. 2.?The annual
Meeting of the State Agricultural
and Mechanical Association to-night
showed extraordinary and unusual interest.
The explanation is in the in
terest of the nourishing organization
and in the election of officers.
The chief interest was in the selection
of the secretary. The court
house was filled with members of the
organization, eager to cast their ballotes
for their choice.
The general understanding was
that under no circumstances would
Mr. John G. Mobley allow the use of
his name again for re-election to the
presidency of the association. In re
tiring from the position, he gave an
account of the work he has done,
which was received with applause.
Mr. J. Arthur Banks, of St. Matthews,
was unanimously elected to
the presidency of the association.
All opposition disappeared before the
meeting to-night. Col. Banks has
long been an active and useful member
of the association and has taken
a keen interest in the affairs of the
fair. He is a most successful business
man of St. Matthews and will
give the association a successful and
businesslike administration.
There were two nominations for
the position of secretary, Mr. J. M.
Cantey, of Columbia, who has been
assistant secretary for some time,
and Mr. D. Frank Efird, who is now
secretary of the association and^was
its former general superintendent,
Cantey defeating Efird by the vote of
153 to 116. Upon motion of Mr.
Efird, the selection was made unanimous.
IT. A. Heise, of Columbia, was
made assistant secretary, winning
over Paul Cross, of Chester, and E.
W. Wilson, of Columbia. Vice-presidents
are as follows: A. T. Smythe,
1st Congressional district, Charleston;
O. M. Watson, 2nd district,
Ridge Spring; T. J. Kinard, 3rd district,
Ninety-Six; Jno. D. Watts, 4th
district, Laurens; T. L. Bulow, 5th
district, Ridgeway; D. A. Spivey, 6th
district, Conway; E. C. McGregor,
7th district, Columbia.
The executive committee is as follows:
T. C. Hamer, Bennettsville;
B. H. Boykin, Boykin; R. I. Manning,
Sumter; J. N. Kirvin, Darlington;
Paul V. Moore, Moore; John D. Frost, :
Columbia; J. H. Henegan, St. Mat- 1
thew's; B. Harris Pendleton; 3. J. 1
(Summers, Cameron; L. J. Browning,
Union; B. F. Taylor, Columbia; J. H.
Wharton, Laurens; D. F. Efird, Lexington,
and Richard Singleton.
The general superintendent, J. D. 1
W. Watts, of Laurens, was re-elect- J
In a speech before the fair society 1
to-night, Mr. B. F. Taylor, of this !
city, declared that the society had
been a distinct failure in promoting
the things for which it was started.
IMr. Taylor said that the agricultural
and live stock features should be <
stressed and less attention should be i
paid to "horse racing and side 1
shows." He thought that better and
larger prizes should be offered in the i
agricultural and cattle exhibits of the <
fair. Mr. Taylor's remarks were 1
heartily seconded by other members i
of the society. The society, by reso- *
lution to-night, endorsed.the retiring i
president's work for the society. Mr. 1
Mobley's efforts and untiring zeal *
were appreciated by the members. 1

One of Shaw's Eccentricities.
P f
I
"So Bernard Shaw is not coming i
1
to America, eh? He says we are 200 i
years behind the times, so he could }
learn nothing from us. Well, well!" j
The speaker, a dramatic critic of (
Washington laughed heartily with f
the Star man. ,
"Shaw," he said, "is amazing. He
always does the original thing. I s
went to see Caesar and Cleopatra i
with him once, and as we stood in ,
the aisle?the house was crowded? s
a stranger behind us persisted in }
s poking his head right over Shaw's ,
shoulder.
"Shaw then did the original thing. ,
Taking out his handkerchief he ^
wiped the man's nose, patting and
twisting it pretty vigorously.
The man, with an ugly oath, jerked
back his head.
" 'Oh, I beg your pardon,' said
Shaw, 'I thought it was mine, you
know.' "
Laughs Whole I>ay Through.
Lawrenceburg, Ind., Nov. 3.?Trading
a mule for a "shaved tail" horse
appealed to the humor of H. Schrapp,
of this, city and he began laughing. (
He laughed for an hour with the t
tears roliing down his cheeks. His t
friends became alarmed and sum- \
moned a physician, but the physician (
could not stop his hysteria. When i.2
hours had passed and Schrapp was <
still convulsed with laughter an elec- j
trie battery was procured and the
trader was given a heavy electric
shock. The laughter ceased and ]
Schrapp fell over exhausted. It was
thought for a time that the man i
would die but to-day he shows no ill i
effects from the laugh. j
DID SPANIARD WRECK MAINE?
Substance of Statement Made by Col.
Jasper E. Brady.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 2.?That
Jos E. Sealvado, a Spanish electrician
working in Moro Castle and probably
a fanatic, was responsible for the
battleship Maine disaster, was the
statement made here to-night by Col.
Jasper E. Brady.
Col. Brady says he was one of a
commission of four men who investigated
the explosion and reported
their findings to President McKinley.
"Of course, I did not see this man
turn on the switch which set free the
powerful mines that caused the disaster,"
said the colonel, "but the evidence
in the case reported directly to
his guilt. Three other army officers,
whose names I do not care to give,
and myself reported to the president
that in our belief Sealvado was responsible.
He was later executed
upon the command of Gen. Blanco.
No one, however, was ever able to
learn for what reason."
Col. Brady, in an address last night
at St. George's Episcopal church,
had discussed the Maine disaster and
attributed it to. a submarine mine
explosion. His statement brought
forth denials from Washington,
among other things being that no
military board had been appointed to
investigate the case. Col. Brady explains
that the board never convened
to make its report, but reported individually
to the president.
Col. Brady was quoted as saying in
Kic, oHHrooc lnct nifrht that. Cubans
uio auuivuo *MVV ? .. ?
were responsible for the disaster. He
denied to-day that he made such a
statement. Col. Brady is a brother
of the Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady,
rector of St. George's church and author.
Jas. M. Sullivan Dead.
Jas. M. Sullivan, member of the
State railroad commission, died at
his home in Columbia on Wednesday,
from the effects of a stroke of paralysis
on the 17th of October. He was
in the 56th year of his age. He was
from Anderson, where he was engaged
for a long time in the hardware
business, which he turned over
to his sons, after his election. He
moved to Columbia recently.
Mr. Sullivan was a fine character
and a useful citizen. He had filled
several official positions?mayor for
two terms of Anderson; representative
and senator and railroad commissioner
since 1906.
The appointment of his successor,
who will serve the unexpired term of
two years, devolves by law upon the^
governor. It is likely that Mr. Scarborough,
who was a candidate in the
recent primary, will be selected for
the place.
Jerusalem Water Supply.
Ever since the days of Solomon,
and probably before that, the water
supply of Jerusalem has been a matter
of some difficulty.
To-day Jerusalem, with its 80,000
inhabitants depends almost entirely
3n rain for its water supply, says the
United States consul in a report, but

ire filled with surface water, and the
insanitary elements with which the
water is impregnated are held responsible
for a large percentage of the ferers
and other diseases prevalent towards
the end of the dry season.
About seven and one-half miles to
:he south of the carriage road to Heiron
are three enormous reservoirs
snown as Solomon's Pools. These
were constructed in the bed of a valey,
across which heavy walls were
:hrown and cemented, and are large
rnough to contain 3,000,000 gallons
)f water.
From these pools there was a masonry
acqueduct built, said to have;
ieen the work of Solomon, which earned
the water to the temple in Jeru-!
salem. At one point this conduit
went through a mountain by a tunlel.
In the second century the Romans,
probably under Pontius Pilate, began
:o execute a most ambitious scheme,
which they seemingly were never ablej
:o finish. The present scheme is to
pump water from Ain Farrah, a
fountain about twelve or thirteen
dlometers to the northeast of Jeru-!
salem and 500 meters lower. The
water is of the best quality, and
pushes out from beneath solid rock
pliffs.
True Gift for Fiction.
In a New Brunswick village town
character who perferred emphasis to
:he verities was a witness in a petty
:rial involving an auger. He posi;ively
identified it as the property
>f one of the parties to the suit.
"But," asked the attorney for the
pther side, "do you swear that you
Know this auger?"
"Yes, sir."
"How long have you known it?"
le continued.
"I have known that auger," said
;he witness, impressively, "ever since
t was a gimlet."?Everybody's Magizine.
A QUEER Ml.* UP.
A Daughter Steals Her Mother's Husband
from Her.
Mrs. Johanna Husselmann has
been awarded $9,800 damages from
her daughter, the wife of Dr. William
Becker, of the Circuit Court, at Milwaukee,
Wis., in a $25,000 alienation-of-a?fections
suit of mother
against daughter.
Mrs. Husselmann and Dr. Becker
mn-a moirloil In Phl/iairn nn
TTOIC UiatilVU AU X/Uftvugvr vu w?
17, 1900. She was 46 years old;
he was 31. She had two daughters.
One of them was Mrs. Hattie Bott,
aged 26. Mrs. Bott was then living
in St. Paul. Her husband was Dr.
Henry C. Bott.
Shortly after the marriage Mrs.
Bott went to Milwaukee to visit at the
home of her mother and her new
stepfather. The result was that on
Sept. 29, 1905, Mrs. Becker and her
husband separated. On Nov. 3, 1906,
Mrs. Husselmann got a divorce, resuming
the name of Husselmann.
On Nov. 9, 1906, Mrs. Bott began
suit for divorce from Dr. Bott. She
got the divorce Nov. 24, 1907. Five
days later, according to testimony,
Mrs. Bott and her stepfather were
married. The mother said, among
other things, that her daughter
"willfully, maliciously and wickedly"
gained the affections of Dr. Becker
and sought to entice him to desert his
wife.
Peon Kidnaps Girl.
A kidnapping, such as one has
been wont to read about in novels of
adventure has taken place in Mexico,
a young American girl being the victim
of a treacherous Mexican. Miss
Grace Rolph, the 17-year-old daugh
ter of Dr. and Mrs. Rolph, of Pender,
Neb., was kidnapped last week/, from
a ranch near Checoy, Mex., by a
Mexican peon named Segunda. The
ranch is owned by G. S. Harris, of
Lincoln, Neb.
He is a friend of Dr. Rolph who
. for years was one of the prominent
doctor's health became such that he
felt the need of a change of climate
and accepted the offer of Mr. Harris
to make his home for an indefinite
time on the ranch. His daughter is
highly cultured and of attractive appearance.
Segunda has long been in the employ
of Mr. Harris, and is more than
twice the age of the girls he kidnapped.
He once killed a man, but
Mr. Harris did not regard him as vicious
and trusted him. Segunda wa#
the ranch hunter, being exceptionally
skillful in bringing in venison and
other wild game. He prided himself
' on his marksmanship and horsemanship.
He is very illiterate and unable
to speak a dozen words in English.
Mr. Harris, who recently returned
from his Mexican property, said at
Lincoln a few days ago, that Segunda
had never, so far as he knew,
snowii any ymucuiai luuuucoa mi
Miss Rolph, and if he had he was
quite sure it was not reciprocated.
The country around Checoy, while
wild and inhabited chiefly by Mexicans
of the lower class, has never
been regarded as lawless, and Mr.
Harris thinks Segunda will not be
protected by the natives. There are
a few other American ranchmen in
the country, and those, Mr. Harris
believes, will band together and run
down the kidnapper.
The son of Mr. Harris, who is manager
of his ranch, has posted a reward
of $1,000 for the apprehension
of Segunda, and communication has
been opened with Mexican officials at
Mexico City, the United States ambassador
there and the State department
officials at Washington.
A Nice Distinction.
In the heat of revivals regrettable
things are sometimes said. Deacon
Washington, colored, was holding a
meeting in the Nolachucky chapel,
and, being wrought up to a high
pitch of Excitement, he cried out-: "I
see befo' me ten chickens thieves, includin'
Calhoun Clay!"
Instantly Calhoun Clay rose and
left the church. He was very angry.
He brought several powerful influences
to bear, and the deacon promised
to apologize. So at the next
meeting the old man said:
"I desire to retract mah last night's
remark when I stated that I see befo'
me ten chicken thieves, includin
Calhoun Clay. What I should have
said, dear brethren and sisters, was?
I see befo' me nine chicken thieves,
not includin' Calhoun Clay."?Detroit

thinking I was a doomed victim of
consumption, I might not be alive

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Bamberg Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, illsmelling
urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the approach
of dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys, and cure tnem permanently.
Here's Bamberg proof:
N. B. Adams, Main street, Bamberg,
S. C., says:
"I most heartily recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills, as 1 used them
and obtained great benefit. I suffered
for more than a year from attacks
of backache and pains in the small
of my back. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and gave me no end
of trouble on account of their frequency
in passage. Having Doan's
Kidney Pills brought to my attention,
I procured a supply at the Peo
pies Drug UO. ana utrgan using mem.
They gave prompt relief. In a few
weeks the pains in my back were entirely
disposed of and my kidneys
were again performing their work
properly."
