WTill the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier and Gov. Blease form a mutual admiration society. The Walterboro Press and Standard has installed a junior linotype. Congratulations to Brothefr Smoak on his prosperity. One by one the country weeklies are discarding the setting of type by hand and are installing the junior linotype where they do not feel warranted in putting in the standard machines, like the one used in this office. The junior linotype is an automatic slug casting machine, and for newspaper work answers the purpose fully as well as the high-priced machines. We long for the day when every country newspaper will be all-home print, and this can only be accomplished by the setting of type by machinery. Piano Contest.

Singer Compromises with Dr. Hoover at Bamberg and is Released. Bamberg, May 1.?Victor Canares, the operatic singer, who was arrested on the charge of cashing a forged check on the First Natonal Bank, kr*~ of New York, succeeded in making aa compromise with Dr. Hoover Saturday and left here with his wife for Branchville, S. C., to join her two children, who were left there on Friday. Dr. Hoover received a telegram from the New York bank stating that J.

Richmond, Va., April 29.?Declaring his arrest an injustice to an innocent man, J. W. Redfern, salesman for Singer Sewing Machine company, left to-day for Chesterfield, in custody of Sheriff Douglass of that place. In the face of apparently positive identification, Redfern protested on the way to police headquarters that a grave mistake had been made, declaring it is reported, that he had never been in South Carolina in his life. Later, he admitted he had been in the employ of the Singer company at Chesterfield for nearly five years. Coming to Richmond, he secured a nosition as salesman, working un der the name of J. W. Watkins. Mail is alleged to have been received by him under the name of W. P. Washington. Sheriff Douglass arrived here yesterday with papers charging misappropriation of $750 from the Singer company and city detectives soon located him J. W. Toney, the company's supervising agent, who assisted Douglass, said the actual shortage would exceed $1,000. Youth Killed by Train. Florence, April 30.?Tom O'Connor, of Charleston, aged 22, was found dead on the Atlantic Coast Line track near Howes Station this morning. His body was horribly mangled, the wheels of the cars having cut it in two pieces. On the body was found a postal card, which furnished the means of identification. His step-father, who came from Charleston later in the day, confirmed the identification and took charge of the body. It is supposed that O'Connor was riding on a freight train and fell from one of the coal cars. DECLARES BRIBE OFFERED. " *-* " i- rr Tn? sensation sprang 111 icuncsaco jucgislative Circles. Nashville, April 28.?Out of Tennessee's political deadlock this afternoon came a development bordering on the sensational, by the publication of a dispatch from Birmingham declaring that a bribe fund of $1,500 had been offered to Representative J. P. McDonald, of Morgan county, providing he agreed to bind himself to vote with the so-called "regular" Democrats on all questions coming before the legislature. The alleged agreement in writing, which McDonald claims he holds, was made December 13 of the last year, but for fraternal and political reasons he withheld the name of the alleged bribe offerer. i In a statement to the Associated Press, at Birmingham this afternoon, Mr. McDonald, one of the "insurgents" who quit T'ennessee to hold up further legislation, verifies the published statement that a bribe was offered to him providing he voted with the "regular" Democrats in the legislature, who were defeated in the late gubernatorial contest. Mr. E. A. Goodpasture to-day stated: "I have not seen the full text of the statement as made by Mr. McDonald and published in the Tenaessean, but I understand that he charges me with having offered money to vote for the election laws and manufacturers' bill. If such charge is made by him I must positively deny it. I did not offer him money to vote for those or any other bills. "At one time he told me he would io this, however. Later he said he would not. I told him that I thought that it was best for the Republican party that he should support the 'regulars' and that he would be taken care of when the house was organized. But I repeat that I did not make any money offer to influence his vote. This is all that I care to say about the matter at this time. If necessary I will make a more extensive statement when I see the full text of his charges." SKULL FRACTURED BY BLOW. W. H. Yarn, of Moselle, Badly Hurt. Assailant not Arrested. Hampton, April 30.?W. H. Yarn, a prominent merchant of Moselle, Colleton county, on the Hampton and T3t.r>Vii.'i 11 ci "Railrnafl wns'strimk hv l^iaUVUTlAtv avmaaa .. v?K/ ^ ? _ w a blow on the head Thursday morning at his store by Christopher Mears, a resident of the same place, and is now in a serious but not necessarily hopeless condition, although the doctor says his skull is fractured. The blow is supposed to be the outcome of an old feud. It is said that Mears struck Varn from the back while the latter was in a stooping position showing Mears a suit of clothes that Mears stated he wanted to buy. Mears has not been arrested. The weapon used was supposed to be a policeman's "billy." , It is said that Mears was also armed with a pistol, which he drew on Varn, and also that he stated afterwards that he intended killing Yarn. HAD PROFITABLE STICK. Innocent Looking Cane Proved to be Liquor Repository. Camden, April 26.?Benj. Haile, chief of police, and T. J. Smyrl, Jr., put a stop to the prospering "blind tiger" business of Primus Wilson, a mulatto, on Saturday, by a clever piece of detection. On Saturday the police learned that he had received two gallons of whiskey from Jack-I sonville.and decided to make a search at once. They found nothing and were about to give up the search when Mr. Smyrl began to examine Wilson's walking stick. The stick itself was very innocent looking, but Mr. Smyrl succeeded in pulling the top off. The stick had been hollowed out and contained a pint of whiskey. Wilson was not old enough to use a stick, but had been carrying one for some time, especially wherever he could find a crowd of negroes, and was prospering on selling drinks at 10 cents each. He was arraigned before the city recorder on Monday and let off with a fine of $25 and a lecture. Killed While Feeding Dog. Tampa, Fla., April 29.?Walter Hagans, of Chicago, was killed, and T. F. Cook, baggagemaster, was fatally injured when the Coast Line train No. 39 from Jacksonville to Tampa, was wrecked near Odessa to-night. Twelve passengers were more or less seriously injured. The wreck was due to spreading rails. The tender, baggage car and express car turned over, the engine and other coaches remaining upright, although derailed. Hagens, who was but 12 years old, was in the baggage car feeding a pet dog. When the car turned over he fell out of an open door, and his head was crushed. Baggagemaster Cook was injured in trying to save the lad. Hagen is the son of Mrs. L. Johnson, of Chicago, who owns considerable property at Fargo. Of the passengers injured, none are considered seriously hurt. A relief train was sent out from Tryon Springs. Killed with Tent Stake. Bennettsville, April 29.?Giuseppi Lotauro was lodged in jail here last night, charged with the murder of a companion, another Italian, at McColl Thursday morning. It seems that the two men were members of the ban^ of the Metropolitan Carnival company, which has been at McColl for several days. The two men, it is reported, had some misunderstanding on the carnival grounds, when Lotauro hit the other man on the head with a tent stake. The wounded man fell senseless and was taken to the hospital, where he died from concussion of the brain. Lotauro fled, but was captured at Hamlet and brought to McPrtii and thenre tn the iail here. It has been impossible to learn the name of the dead man. It is reported the dead man had started to run and fell twice, when he was overtaken and hit with the stake. CHILD CHOKED BY STRAP. Baby Left Alone in Carriage Meets Fatal Accident. Chester, April 30.?A circumstance of peculiar sadness has just been reported from the Richburg section of the county in a double affliction which came to the family of J. W. Varnadore, a farmer near there. On Thursday, one week ago, his wife died after a short illness, leaving a family of several children, the youngest of whom was only a few months old. On last Thursday this youngest child was left out in the baby carriage and in attempting to get out, slipped down and was choked to death on the strap which prevented it from falling out. The romains nf the child were buried on Friday, just one week from the time its mother was laid away. Mr. Varnadore is a prominent farmer pf the county. LINEMAN ELECTROCUTED. W. R. English Meets Instant Death at Colombia. Columbia, April 28.?W. R. English, a lineman, employed by the Western Union local- force, was instantly killed when at work to-day on a pole.

He dropped down the pole, but his fall was gradual, as he was wearing a - leather safety belt, which had been fastened around him. Lineman Rankin, who was standing near the pole, caught the body before it reached the ground. Death was instantaneous. Mr. English came to Columbia about 18 months ago. He has a wife living at Finchville, Va., where the remains will be shipped for interment. He was about 23 years of age. * *ft fti *t* ??* tft if* ?f? ?f if! if* *?? 1 E. A.
