ASK FOR TRIAL.
Black, Tatum, Towill and Boykin
Make Demands.
In Richland county court last
Wednesday John Bell Towill, W. O.
Tatum, John Black and L. W. Boykin,
formerly directors of the South
Carolina State dispensary, demanded, j
through their attorneys, that the
cases now pending against them be
tried. It was their contention that
they were arrested in 1907, indicted
in ISO9, but have not Deen givtru a
trial on the charges now pending, although
they have never asked a continuance
and have been ready to
stand trial at each term of court.
W. H. Cobb, solicitor, notified the
court, for J. Fraser Lyon, attorney
general of South Carolina, that the
State was not ready for trial at this
term. Judge Robert AlcPrich, the
presiding judge, then ordered Solici-1
tor Cobb to comer wun ivir.
and report at the current term of
court if the State would be ready at
the next term.
These men were indicted along
with a number of other dispensary
officials. John Black, one of the
men demanding a trial, was convicted
in Chester county oif one count,
but afterward granted a pardon by
Cole L. Blease, governor of South
Carolina.
Attorney General Lyon was out of
the city Wednesday, and therefore a
statement as to the reply that would
be made could not be obtained. M:
rv.-n 1.1
r. jjeoruiii, assmutm atiuxucj* gcucial,
could not say as to whether the
case would he ready for trial at the
next term of court. The attorney
general is expected to return to the
city before the week is over.

Spruil, cashier of the Merchants' and
Farmers' bank at Columbia, Tirrell
county, and superintendent of the
county schools, was found dead in
the woods some distance from that

i Gives Away Fortune.
1
Chicago, May 23.?This week will
see the complete retirement of Dr. D.
K. Pearsons, the gieat Chicago phi- i
lanthropist, who has finished giving
away his millions. He has made
the benefactions of Rockefeller, Carnegie
and others look, in proportion,
petty. While they only give a portion
of their vast income. Dr. Pearsons
has practically freed himself of
his entire fortune, $6,000,000. Early
i this week he will go into retirement
at the Holiday Sanitarium with only
an income of $6,000 a year to supply
his needs the remainder of his life.
He was 91 years old April 14.
There is but one transaction that
Dr. Pearsons has to close before he
leaves. To-day, or by Wednesday at
the least, he will put up his beautiful
estate at Hinesdale at auction,
j \ The highest bidder will get the house
\ and contents. Following this act,
Dr. Pearsons will enter the sanitarium,
and in the society of a few
chosen friends will await'the end of
his career. Dr. Pearsons' health

proposes to take the best care of
himself and to be constantly under
the scrutiny of physicians.
In the company of friends, reading,
walking and watching the
growth of the institutions he has
founded or endowed, are to be his
amusements. Dr. Pearsons characterizes
the sum he has given to the
colleges as his debts.
"When my house is sold," he declared,
"and my last debt is paid, I
shall have been my own executor,
and shall have closed the estate entirely.
There will be no dispute after
I have gone; that is what I want
to be sure of. I propose to get ahead
of my friends, Rockefeller and Car
j negie, ana mane provisions ior a
complete clean-up."

Robbed in Broad Daylight.
Albany, Okla., May 24.?In broacl
daylight, the State bank of Albany
was robbed to-day by two masked
men, who entered" the bank while
President P. L. Cain was alone in
the building. At the point of revolvers,
they forced him to open the
vault and escaped with $2,000. Cain
was lefc locked in the vault, and
when rescued an hour later was
nearly suffocated.

, TO PROBE JACK-POT.
Democrats Will Support Martin's
Lorimer Inquiry Plan.
Washington, May 25.?After four
hours caucus to-day- the Democratic
senators voted 24 to 1 to support the
hv Spnator Martin.
; ^ovxuviviA vAi.v* vv? ,
of Virginia, on behalf of the Democratic
steering committee providing
for a reinvestigation of the bribery
charges in connection with the election
of Senator Lorimer, of Illinois.
A personal colloquy between SenaI
tors Bailey, of Texas, and Martin, of
New Jersey, featured the caucus.
The Martin resolution proposes an
investigation by the committee on
privileges and elections.
The colloquy between Messrs
Bailey and Martin originated in Mr.
Bailey's demand for general support
of the Martin resolution. Mr. Bailey
declared that any senator who
refused to be bound by the caucus
had no rightful place in the party
councils This aroused the senators
Tirhn favored thp DaFollette resolu
tion providing for an inquiry by a
special committee of new senators.
Mr. Bailey contended that more
than two-thirds of the caucus favored
the Martin resolution and it was
thus the duty of all Democratic senators
to abide by that decision. Mr.
Martine replied that while willing to
compare his party record with the
Texas senator's he was uilwilling to
be bound by a party caucus on a
moral question. He said he understood
that the meeting was a conr?~^
not o noiiMio unH had
icitrucc auu uui a. ?
no understanding that any binding
action was to be taken.
Saying he would not bandy words
regarding the character of his own
Democracy as compared with that of
another senator, Mr. Bailey insisted
that senators were in duty bound to
abide by the two-thirds decision of
the caucus.
Mr. Martine replied as pointedly
and the colloquy continued until Mr.
Martine withdrew from the caucus
reiterating that he would not be
bound by it on any except a political
question.
Almost every other Democratic
senator participated in the debate.
It developed that the regular Republicans
had practically agreed to
abandon the Dillingham resolution
in favor of the Martin measure and
all Democrats were urged to support
the provision as a matter of party
discipline. The caucus supported
the Martin resolution with the understanding
that any senator should
be free to offer and support amendments.
It was expected that the question
would come up in the open senate
to-day, but it was crowded out by
other questions. Senator La Follette
expects to conclude his speech tomorrow
and after one or two brief
speeches in reply it is expected a
vote will be taken. The prospect
now is that the Martin resolution
will be adopted without material
amendment.
DIAZ RESIGNS.
Mexican Revolution is Finally Triumphant.
Mexico City, May 25.?President
Porfirio Diaz, in a letter read by the
president of the chamber of deputies
this afternoon, resigned the presidency
of the republic of Mexico and
at exactly 4:54 o'clock the acceptance
of the renunciation by the deputies
was announced. Every one had expected
an uproar and demonstration
when the announcement should be
made, but within the chamber the
words of the president announcing
the event were followed by a dead
silence. The deputies seemed awed
by what had taken place.
Streets leading to the hall were
filled with people, and the news that
Diaz was at last no more the president
was the signal for the wildest
shouting and manifestations. There
was nonviolence nor destruction of
property.
The motion was offered to accept
the president's resignation. One
hundred and sixty-seven deputies
i voted aye, while two of them did not
express themselves. They were
Benito Jaurez, a descendant of President
Jaurez, and Conception Del
Valle. As their names were called
the legislators arose and bowed their
affirmation.
In similar fashion the resignation
of Vice President Ramon Corral,
now in France, was unanimously accepted,
and similarly Francisco Leon
de la Barra, late ambassador to
Washington, was chosen provisional
president. The latter will take the
oath of office at noon to-morrow in
the yellow parlor of the national
palace. Of scarcely less interest in
the popular mind waB the practical
assumption of military control of the
federal district by Alfredo Robles
Dominguez, Madero's personal representative.
Personally Dominguez commands
only a small body of local rebels,
but the federal garrison is under orders
to make no move whatsoever
whatsoever without securing his approval.
Senor Dominguez stated
that he can bring 5,000 organized

Women in Gambling Houses.
French Lick, May 23.?The Antigambling
league, organized here
three weeks ago, had two men in A1
Brown's hall this week and they
watched some heavy playing. Speaking
of what they saw, one of the
men said:
"There were at least 250 men and
women gambling with many devices.
Several women and girls were at the
tables. For about thirty minutes I .
watched an elderly gentleman who
was said to be an eastern manufacturer,
.play his game. During the
thirty minutes I watched him I saw
him lose $1,000, win about $500 and( |
lose that.
"I saw a woman who played at the
same table lose apparently everything ;
she had and then quit. I saw several
lose small amounts, and saw a few :
break even." <

NEGRO CUTS A WHITE MAN.
Why Lynching Bees are Resorted to
by the White People.
Charles Henry McLamb, a worthy
white farmer, was assaulted and almost
fatally cut by Smith Boykin, a
burly negro, in Clinton. Mr. McLamb
had taken a seat in a chair
3n the side of the street where Boykin
was delivering fertilizer and was
Drdered by the negro to get out of
the chair.
After a few words the negro turned
the chair over and drew his knife
and cut McLamb twice, making two
long wounds, penetrating to the ab-i
rlominal cavitv. The wounded man,
was taken to the office of Drs. Cooper
and Holmes where surgical attention
was given. It is believed the
wounds will not prove fatal.
The negro was promptly arrested
and lodged in jail to await the results
of the injuries inflicted by him
before a hearing is had in the case.
It looked at one time as if summary
measures would be resorted to by
angry friends of the injured man,
but the advice of cooler heads prevailed
and the law will very likely be
allowed to take its course.
