SURVEYOR'S BILL REJECTED.
K
??
Aiken County Board of Commissioners
Declines to Pay Bill.
Wr ?m
Aiken, May 3.?At the regular
meeting of the county commissioners
the bill put in by D. V. Reeves and
W. H. Nicholson, surveyors, who were
L- employed by the Heyward county
I commission to make the surveys on
; that proposition, was turned down
"with a refusal of the commissioners
S. to pay it. While the new county
commission employed the surveyors,
the county has to pay the bills. The
amount allowed by law for such suris
$2,500, and the two surveyors
g? charged the full amount, Aiken coun%
ty's quota being $1,718.75, Edgefield
| county's $771.75. Edgefield county
paid its proportion without contest,
pE- - but the bill was held up for several
fe- months until the Aiken commission^
ers could investigate the claim. When
w the vote on the question was taken
* the commission was unanimously opjf
posed to paying it.
Mr. Green, chief commissioner,
I states that he has positive informa#
tion that competent surveyors made
P;' a bid to do this work for about $1,I
" 250, one-half what Reeves and Nicholson
charged. The commission states
% that it is ready to pay a reasonable
bill, but that they will positively not
II pay a bill for $1,718.75. It further
v\r states that Reeves and Nicholson did
? J not make a bid for the work at all,
but were hired anyway, after the new
^ county commission had received a
SR bid to do the work for one-half what
? they agreed to pay.
it is said tnat tne surveyors win
^ put in a suit against Aiken county
for the collection of the claim.
ST The Remedy and Its Need.
The first step is"'to realize the need
of a remedy. I suspect that many
I are Indignant at such a suggestion,
H sbut let them examine themselves in
f the fear of God which is the beginning
of wisdom, and they will find
that a remedy is sorely needed. Vicr
/ tims of alcoholism and tuberculosis
I live in blissful ignorance of thdir real
condition. These diseases slip on so
g slowly that their danger is never fully
realized by the patient himself.
} ' T^e unusually red faces of the formjfe
er and the hectic flush of the latter
s *
Li are attributed to health, when in re[ality
they are symptoms of decay and
death.
If alcohol were to kill people outright
they would soon let it alone,
but it creeps on them stealthily, each
generation getting a little less able
to resist its influence, and this is
why there is so much danger in it.
Children of alcoholic parents do not
have to cultivate a taste for it; it is
born in them and they begin life se
rilWOijr uauu^vapyvu.
p Medical inspectors find great menjh
tal and moral deficiency among
I school children to-day, weak eyes,
decayed teeth, deficient hearing; all
^ this proves there is something radi|.
cally wrong. The sins of the parents
"m are visited on the children, and not
k" for one generation alone, but to the
fe sthird and fourth. This proves anil
' other fact of the Bible, "Every man
s is rewarded according to his works."
| I am shocked to learn that even
I tlTe women are indulging in intoxif
cants. This fact alone should convince
the men that it is time to abolf
ish the saloon; I do not mean merely
to get it off the statute books, but
rid our country of these pest houses.
The men who drink it can't resist it,
M this must be done by the freemen.
America will lose her rightful
place among the nations, unless this
| is done. You can not build a strong
nation with weak individuals.

thing that cometh of the vine, neither
let her drink wine or strong drink,
> nor eat anything unclean."
In another place this adivce is
given, "It is not for kings to drink
> wine; nor princes strong drink."
I They must have cool heads to know
how to rule others. What is good
I' for the ruler is also good for the individual.
Is he not a king on a
small scale? The head of a family
s| must have a cool head also, or his
| business will get tangled and his
family will suffer.
Ilv In addition to this we are having
poor seasons and consequently short

P' saying 'I must make a good crop, or
good collections." Is not this enough
f - to arouse people? Read your Bible
f and you will find it a sign of God's
if displeasure. "The rebellious dwell
jy in a dry land;" but with every threat
there is a promise of good things if
we live right. "I will feed you on
E the finest of wheat and honey out of
the rock." In this Southland, our
fc granaries should be filled to overflowp.-'f
ing. As a matter of fact many are
$ buying corn. These are not all rent8?~
ers either, but land owners. Does

SOUTH CAROLINIANS.
R. W. McKinney and Woman He
Shot Fled from Spartanburg County.
Athens, Ga., May 3.?Investigation
to-day in connection with the double
tragedy of last Monday night, in
which R. W. McKinney killed the woman
he was living with and then
committed suicide, brought to light
the fact that the woman was not his
wife. Austin McKinney, of Chester, S.
C., telephoned Mayor Rowe to-night
that R. W. McKinney ran away from
Spartanburg county six years ago
with tne woman ne snot, deserting
his lawful wife and six children, all
of whom are living. The name of the
dead woman was not given. Shortly
after a message was received from
Leonard McKinney, at Cowpens, S.
Cv instructing the authorities here to
send the little girl left by the dead
couple to him.
Relatives of the dead. woman arrived
here to-day for the purpose of
having her body removed for burial,
but it is stated that a dispute arose
as to whether they should take both
bodies from the city, and a final decision
was reached to bury them here
in Athens. There is insurance on
the lives of the two victims of the
tragedy amounting to $2,000.
Compromise Likely.
Nashville, Tenn., May 3.?Rumors
of a probable compromise between
the regulars and fusionists in the
legislature to result in the return
of the insurgent faction now encamped
at Birmingham and the early closing
of the session of the legislature
filled the air about the State capitol
to-day, but leaders of both sides
who are in the city, declined to discuss
the situation. Chiefs of the inJ

Democratic factions have been conferring
to-day, but it is stated that
representatives of the Republican
wing of the fusion have not been consulted
as to the proposed compromise.
Batesburg School Burned.
Batesburg, May 3.?The Batesburg
school building was entirely destroyed
by fire this morning, about 10:30, but
every child was gotten safely out
without even the slightest injury.
Nearly 200 children were in school
busy with examinations, when suddenly
the whole rear of the building
seemed to be in flames. All were
marched out quietly, and a large part

books were saved in the short time
afforded. The building was made of
the richest wood and so old that the
whole structure was soon burned to
the ground, despite the efforts of the
fire, department, which soon reached
the grounds. They directed their attention
to saving nearby residences.
The origin of the fire is not known.
Probably a flue was defective?an old
style flue that was built up from the
ground?and sparks may have fallen
which ignited the lightwood stored
in a bin under the rear room next to
this flue. One thousand five hundred
dollars insurance was carried on the
building.
This means that work will soon
start on the new school building. A
bond issue of $15,000 for a new
building was voted last fall. 9

Guilty of Swindling.
Ociila, Ga., May 3.?Having claimed
that he could make paper from
cotton stalks by a secret process, that
his company in Atlanta desired to
nurchasA certain machinery upon
which it had an option with which
to carry out its process, and finally
having secured the endorsement of a
number of local citizens to notes of
a large amount in the year 1909, J.
E. Green, of Atlanta, was to-day convicted
of having swindled the endorsers
of these noter. in the city
court here, they having been forced
to pay the notes whei they came
due, and having since learned that
the alleged corporation capitalized
for $500,000 which Green claimed to
represent was a fake concern. Sentence
has not been passed.

slumbers the sweet smile is replaced
by a frown. In its feeble way it appeals
for help. "Wo to the man -who
offends one of these little ones, it
were better for him that a millstone
were tied about his neck and he cast
into the depths of the sea." Christ
loved and blessed them, while on
earth, and he said unless the grown
people became as little children they
could not enter the kingdom of heaven.
That is, pure, trustful, and confiding.
"Take heed that ye despise
not one of these little ones, for in
heaven their angels do always behold
the face of my Father."

Knew What She Was Up to.
The late David Moffatt, of Denver,
once made a trip to Chicago alone,
and when he stepped from the Pullman
into the crowd on the platform
a sweet, fluffy young thing threw herself
into his arms. "Oh, dad!" she
cried, with a series of ecstatic hugs.
"Oh, papa, dear, I'm so glad to?oh!"
She perceived her error and blushed
painfully, but gloriously. "I?I beg
your pardon," she stammered. "I?
I t-th-thought you were my papa.
I?" And she tried to escape into the
throng where she could hide her confusion.
But the gallant empire builder
would have none of such. He still
held her firmly in a quasi-paternal
embrace. "I am not your papa, it is
true," he whispered, tenderly, "but
I am going to play that I am for a
while. Don't try to get away from
me, my dear. I'm going to play papa
to you until the police come."

Willing to Make Test.*
Macon, Ga., May 3.?In order to
prove to the satisfaction of the jury
that nitro-glycerine is not contained
in two bottles taken from his persoi;
at the time of arrest, J. E. Brady, the
alleged leader of a gang of suspected
safeblowers and postoffice burglars,
now on trial in the United States dis
trict court, to-day offered to arinK tne
contents of one of the bottles.
The government contends that the
bottles are filled with nitro-glycerine,
one drop of which when taken internally
may result fatally.
Following the prisoner's determined
offer, the marshal started for the
bottles, which Judge Spear hai previously
refused to let remain in the
court room, when he was stopped by
the court, who said he would not
permit such a demonstration. Brady
was greatly disappointed. The judge
then cautioned anomer pn&uuci m
the same case, John Gibson, who is
minus an arm and eye, not to follow
the example of a prisoner, in the
Camorist trial, and throw his glass
eye at the court.
Goes to Supreme Court.
Washington, May 3.?Georgia liquor
laws will be subjected to scrutiny
by the supreme court of- the
United States in a case docketed today
in that court. It is the case of
the State against G. W. Cureton.
The question raised is whether the
Georgia law of 1907, which prohibits
the sale of liquor within the State
applies to a transmission where persons
living in Alabama or Tennessee
order liquor of another in Tennessee
who ships the liquor through an
agent in Georgia. Cureton is charged
with receiving orders and payment
for liquor at his office in Tennessee
and directing his ' agent at Rising
Fawn, Ga.; to ship the liquor ordered.
The State claims that Cureton

ton claims the sale took place in
Tennessee and furthermore that the
Georgia law is unconstitutional because
it interferes with interstate
commerce.
Johnny's Three Buttons.
A Sunday-school teacher trying to
make clear to his class the fundamental
doctrines of the Declaration
of Independence. "Now, boys," he
said, "I will give you each three ordinary
buttons. Here they are. You
must think of the first one as representing
life, of the second one as
representing liberty, and of the third
one as representing the pursuit of
happiness. Next Sunday I will ask
you each to produce the three buttons
and tell me what they repre-|
sent."
The following Sunday the teacher
said to the youngest member: "Now,
Johnny, produce your three buttons
and tell me what they stand for."
"I ain't got 'em all," he sobbed,
holding out two of the buttons.
"Here's life an' here's liberty, but
mommer sewed the pursuit of happiness
on my pants!"?Rehoboth Sunday

FORMER GOVERNOR SUMMONED.
Vardaman Will be Asked as to State
Funds.
Jackson, Miss., May 4.?Former
Gov. James K. Vardaman, at present
a candidate for the Democratic sen
atorial nomination, will be served
with a summon to-morrow night by
the sheriff of Lincoln county, requesting
that he appear before J. C.
Moore, an expert accountant at Jackson,
Monday, and testify as to several
State funds distributed under his direction
while chief executive.
The inquiry was authorized in a
resolution adopted at the last session
of the State legislature and came as
an aftermath to a sensational investigation
of charges of bribery preferred
by State Senator Theodore
Bilbo, an adherent of the former governor
in the contest for the senatorship
which ended in the selection of
United States Senator Leroy Percy.
Bilbo stated that a sum of money was
paid him in an effort to influence his
vote for the successful candidate. At
the court trial which followed the alleged
briber-giver was acquitted.
Moore was given, authority by Gov.
Noel to summon any witnesses he
might desire in connection with his
investigation of the books and accounts
of the State.
Attorney General Hudson, of Mississippi
in a statement to-night declares
that he had no part in the issuance
of the summons and denies
that he is acting jointly with Moore.
At the campaign headquarters of
Maj. Vardaman to-night the legality
of the summons was admitted.

Barnwell, May 3.?An Atlantic

a few miles east of Barnwell, between

this time it is impossible to get any
particulars beyond the fact that no

from Florence to Augusta was detoured
over the Southern's tracks via

that the wreckage will be cleared
