SENT TO SANITARIUM. * * Telamon Smith Cuyler Put in Hospital Temporarily. Efc/\. % Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2.?Telamon Smith Cuyler, the Atlanta broker who led his friends a lively chase hrough the Carolina mountains afjf^ ter he jumped off a Southern railway train last Sunday, only to be recaptured at Toecane, N. C., on the Tennessee line, was brought to Atlanta t this morning and placed temporarily |j, in a sanatarium. Cuyler's dementia is believed by his friends to be due to worry over | financial matters and this belief was strengthened to-day when it was learned that he probably must face an investigation of a recent cotton ^ deal in which the Canadian Cottons, limited, of Montreal, is reported to have paid about $42,000 for cotton, the real value of which is given as $10,500. A representative of the A x Canadian company nas oeen in ai4 lanta several days seeking an adjust[ment of the matter without litigation. The cotton involved in the alleged transaction is said to be 600 bales of "linters" sold for 3 Vz cents per ? pound to a man giving the name of | F. G. Bottum, who shipped it to points in Canada. A stenographer in Cuyler's office to^day said that Bottum had been receiving his mail at that office but that ?she did not know him. The sellers did not know Cuyler in the transaction and could not say if he was ing^i terested. Seven Atlanta banks have been served with garnishment papers pre? venting their paying to Cuyler any j 5 sums held to his account, this action being taken by W. V. Boyd, agent of the Canadian company. Tillman Heads the List. Br Last week the committee appointed by the senate to investigate the matter of members of the gen* eral assembly holding two offices wrote Governor Blease asking him for information as to what persons - - i ' ? t? n: in nis Knowledge were uuiuiiig lwv offices contrary to law. He replied in the following letter to Senator W. L. Mauldin: "Yours of the 2nd instant received. ' y "In reply will state that I am informed that the Hon. B. R. Tillman is a United States senator and trustee of Clemson and Winthrop colleges. "That the Hon. Francis H. Weston is a State senator and trustee of the University of South Carolina. "That the Hon. John G. Richards is a railroad commissioner and trus> tee of Clemson college. "That the Hon. Alan Johnstone is a State senator, a trustee of Clem son college and president or tne board of trustees of Clemson col(lege. "That the Hon. D. J. Bradham is a trustee of the colored college and a magistrate. "That the Hon. D. W. McLaurin is land agent of the sinking fund . and trustee of Winthrop college. "At the time of the message yon speak of in your letter, the Hon. Hartwell M. Aver was a member of the house of representatives and a trustee of the State reformatory. "The Hon. L. M. Gasque was a member of the house of representa- j tives and a member of the board of fish commission for South Carolina. "There may be others; I have not taken the pains to look the matter up. These have been called to my attention and believing that each of the ^positions held by them, respecI tively, came within the meaning of the State constitution, I sent in the message referred to. "P. S.?Since writing the above, I have been informed that W. W. Bradley is private secretary to Congressman Aiken and also trustee of Clemson college, and that Mr. Rawl who holds a position under the United States, in the city of Washington, D. C., is also a trustee of Clemson college. "The law says 'office or position' and I call these to your atention." Attack Like Tigers. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt-rheum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail. This condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to expel poisons from the blood. "They are the best blood purifier," writes C. T. Budahn, of Tracy, Calif., "I have ever found." They make rich, red blood, strong nerves and build up your health. Try them. 50c. at Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C.

Patterson 187. Very light vote was polled. The race between Griffin and Patterson will be close. Griffin will possibly be elected by small majority. i BLEASE CARES FOR FRIENDS. Sends Characteristic Letter to the State Supreme Court. Columbia, Feb. 2.?Through the Richland County Bar Association suggested former Attorney General Duncan Ray, of Columbia, and that Mr. Ray was recommended by the Supreme Court for appointment, Gov. Blease has designated his friend, James F. J. Caldwell, of Newberry, as special judge to preside at the Richland common pleas term com mencing on aionaay next. The governor has informed the Supreme court of his action in a characteristic letter. Gov. Blease informs that court that after a conference with Judge Copes, in which he found the latter would not qualify in time he appointed Mr. Caldwell. The governor says further: "While I shall of course be respectful to your body, at the same time a large majority of the people of South Carolina elected me governor and in that | majority were as much brains as j was in the minority and I expect to see that my friends receive at least some consideration from this administration, and I do not propose to appoint my enemies to office upon the recommendation of any body unless it be that I can not find a friend who is competent and worthy of the position." Chats with the Girls. Don't misunderstand me, girls, and conclude that I do not like to see well-dressed women, for I do; especially when the gown is cut on correct lines. It is only when you go to extremes that dress is harmful. God gave us things to use, not abuse. On festive occasions the dress mayi very appropriately be a little gay, but at church it is not suitable. How can we worship God in the midst of Vanity Fair! Our thoughts are distracted from the services when the eye is continually beholding vanity. The rich should think of this; they either drive the poor from church, or cause them to live above their means. The church is the only place the poor are allowed to mingle with the higher-class. When you drive them out, you drive the Holy Spirit out, and your service is purely antomatic. Only God can breath upon it the breath of life. Solomon says: "There is a time for all things." Let your dress suit the occasion, and remember the richest dress is worn on the soul. It is a beautiful undy??"? ond it ic minbod fn wucto lllg lUlUg, auu U IO II IVIlvu KV II uwvu it in frivolity. Compare a taste for dress with a taste for knowledge, culture, virtue, and piety, which is preferable? Is a girl to be regarded as a doll to be dressed, a plaything to be petted, a house ornament to exhibit, a thing to be used and kept from crying with a sugar-plum show? Keep this truth in your minds: "Woman was made for a higher purpose, a nobler use, a grander destiny" than merely to exhibit finery. You can achieve victories in the fields of thought and make yourself in very truth man's co-worker?his comrade. You are now being prepared to meet the duties later on; if you are wise, you will try to improve the time while it is yours. Margaret Fuller says: "No woman can give her heart with loyalty or her hand with dignity until she has learned to stand alone." Will you paron a personal allusion? It will at least show you what one man thought of girls; htfw he encouraged his daughter in every possible way to rival her brothers and to outstrip them if she could. Being his first-born and only daughter, he naturally gave her his best attention. While not apparently very religious, he respected and revered his Creator, as all creatures should, and he recognized the fact that life is worth living only when we obey certain rules. He taught his children both by precept and example to reverence truth, to be honest, and, last but not least, to be pure in thought, word, and deed. These truths are the foundation on which every character should be built, if it is to stand the storms of life. Looking at it in a business way, his sons regarded his life as a failure, but not so his daughter. She regarded the good name and the wholesome instructions as a legacy of priceless value?worth more than millions of dollars. It is a beautiful thought, that there are none too poor to leave such an inheritance. He did not hesitate to declare his preference for girls, on the principle that "Your son is your son till he gets him a wife, but your daughter is your daughter all the days of her life." Right here let us stop and give three cheers for Jerry Moore and Hannah Plowden, champion boy and I v.i nrnftTirArp Torrv ic a nliipfcv gill luiu giuncio. o v. 11 j 10 w. youth, and not afraid of work. He hauled 300 loads of rich dirt on his worn out, sandy land and 50 loads of stable manure, and made 22S bushels and three pecks of corn on one acre. Hannah possibly did not have as fair showing as the lad, but anyway she succeeded in making 120 bushels on one acre. Only four "HEYWARD" COUNTY NOT YET. After Hearing Governor Blease Revokes Election Order. Columbia, Feb. 1.? Gov. Blease to-day killed the Heyward county proposition when he issued an order revoking the election order of Governor Ansel. The election was to have been held on February 7. "I am satisfied that the territory does not contain 400 square miles, the constitutional requirement, from testimony that has been presented to me, and that the limits of the town of Ellenton are one mile, which would cause a county line to pass through the limits of an incorporated town," said Governor Blease to-day, following: arguments by attorney for the promoters of Heyward county and Aiken county. The hearing was resumed at noon. Declare Fight Just Begun. "We will carry the case to the supreme court of South Carolina,*' said George T. Jackson, of Augusta, following the decision of Governor Blease to anul the election ordered for Heyward county by Governor Ansel. "We have j?rst begun the fight," said 'R. H. Welch, chief counsel for the new county move. The attorneys would make no other statement, but all reiterated that the fight had just begun. Asks Further Investigation. George T. Jackson representing the new county movement, appeared and asked that a further investigation be made as to the territory, by the appointment of a commission to consist of three surveyors, one from Aiken, one from the proposed newcounty and one disinterested. D. S. Henderson, of Aiken, opposed this proposition, stating that a hearing had been given and that the attorneys for the new- county should have presented their testimony at the hearing as to the area. The decision follows a hearing which lasted several days, and at which expert testimony was presented as to the area of the new county territory. Next Move? If One. Just what move the, advocates of the new county will mate is not known. Inere was a report from Aiken to the effect th?t election would be held regardless of the order by Governor Blease and that the matter would be later tested in the Supreme court. S. Henderson, In making argument for Aiken county before Governor Blease, stated that he did not believe that the question of the election was one for the Supreme court to decide. Mr. Henderson further said that the reason he rejected the proposition to have another survey is that the counties of Edgefield and Aiken VtAirA alraoHir Koon fnrnoH tn nflV Ollt II a V ^ ail VUUJ MVVAl IV* wv* vv thousands of dollars upon surveys on this proposition and that he did not consider that he would have the authority or right to consent for these counties to spend more money, nor that a further survey would be proper, it having been proven to the satisfaction of Governor Blease that under the survey just finished the requisite territory was not within the proposed lines of the new county. Further, that the shape of the county is a monstrosity?fifty-odd miles long and in places not more than three miles broad. Such ill shaped counties ought not to be allowed. Writes Note to Mr. Taft. Denver, Col., Feb. 3.?Benjamin Dewey Miller, 11 years old, who is in the county jail here awaiting trial on the charge of robbing the postoffice at Gardner, Colo., has written to President Taft pleading his case. The letter, which was addressed to "Uncle Sam," was mailed to the president last night. It reads: "Dear Uncle Sam: "I am going to tell you about what I done. I broke into your postoffice with two other kids. I know we done wrong. We got $14 and four or five packages of stamps; that's all. "My father and mother are poor and ain't got no money. I read Jesse James' stories and that's what put me up to it. If you will let me go this time I won't do it no more. I was in bed when the other kids come and called me. This is all for this c/-? orinrJ hvp " tilliU) tJV QVX/V* w. boys have beat her. This is not in her line of business, but it shows what a girl can do when she tries. Jerry has been given a free trip to Washington by the government and numberless prizes. Hannah has been given a scholarship at Winthrop. By being faithful in little things the door has opened to greater things. I have been waiting to hear something from you,girls,but not a word, j Suppose some of you cut out short clippings of what women are doing, j and send them to the editor. This may encourage others to emulate them. Remember you cannot dream yourself into a character. Work is the mighty magician that brings things to pass. P. B. P. February 4, 1911. TOM MILLER FOR CONGRESS. Retiring President of Colored College May Run for Congress. Columbia, Jan. 30.?Additional interest was created in the forced retirement of Tom Miller, as president of the South Carolina Normal and Industrial college at Orangeburg, by | the statement to-day of a prominent and trustworthy man that Miller told him if he were made to retire as president, he would move back to his farm in Beaufort county and be a nrtncrrooe a cro 1 n Ct tVlP L'(tuuiuai.c 1UI Lvugi vou V..~ Hon. Geo. S. Legare, of Charleston. By doing this Miller thinks, it is believed, that he can cause the Democrats a good deal of embarrassment, as he would contest the election of his opponent before congress. The appointment of Miller as president of the institution at Orangeburg forms an interesting story. The establishment of the college was the result of the hard fight made by Miller and four or five other negroes in 1 895 against the disfranchisement of the numerous colored voters in this State. As a compromise the Democrats in the constitutional convention, it is. said agreed to establish the school, and Miller and his associates agreed not to contest the amendment in the United States courts. The college was created the next year and Miller was chosen as its president. He has held the job ever since and has received $2,000 a year for his work. It is said that he has not been popular with his associates and that many members of his faculty were forced to resign. Sheriff Killed; Chief Badly Hurt. Wilson, N. C., Feb. 3.?This town is laboring under the greatest excitement in its history caused by the murdering of Deputy Sheriff George Munford and the probable fatally injuring of Chief of Police A. 0. Glover this afternoon by a negro desperado, name unknown. This morning the officers here were notified to look out for negroes who broke in a store at Dunn last night. This afternoon one of the negroes was located in a house near the Norfolk Southern Railway yards and the officers went to make the arrest. As Munford and Glover entered the front door, the negro opened fire. Munford was shot through the head and Glover through both lungs. The former died in less than an hour and the latter is expected to die at any moment. The negro escaped. Bloodhounds were brought here on a special train and are now following the trail. Several arrests were made but the prisoners were exonerated. > Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 3.?Gov. W. W. Kitchin to-night ordered Company K., second regiment, the Wilson Light Infantry, to be subject to the orders of the Sheriff of Wilson county to prevent a lynching or other undue demonstrations there as the outcome of the killing of Depty Sheriff Munford and the wounding of Chief of Police A. 0.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 3.?Dr. Pantchenko, the "murder-specialist," who admits that he has slain more than 40 men and women by administering poison at the request of the victim's enemies, told to-day in his trial for killing Count Bouturlin how he obtained the germs of fatal diseases which he used on his "subjects." The poisoner, in common with Count O'Brien de Lassy, is accused of the murder of Count Bouturlin, De Lassy's brother-in-law. Bouturlin was heir to many millions and the J" Tl'OC Pfimmit.

In his defense Pantchenko has claimed that while he administered deadly poison to Bouturlin, it was while he was under hypnotic influence exerted by De Lassy.
