charge of complicity in the misappropriation
of $50',000 of the bank's
funds. This morning, J. K. Dough;
ton, State bank examiner, arrived to
inspect the bank, Hart died from a
self-inflicted wound, and the exposure
of Hussel followed shortly afterward.
This morning Examiner Doughton
called at the bank for the purpose of
making his regular inspection of the
affairs of the bank. The examination
was deferred until this afternoon,
and Hart remained at his post
until the regular dinner hour. Going
home for dinner, he went directly
to his room and a few minutes
later his wife was startled to hear
the report of a pistol. Rushing to
the room, she found Hart lying

through his head. He died two hours
later without having Tegained consciousness.
The misappropriation, it is believed,
will not exceed $50,000. Mr.
Hart had been interested in numerous
business transactions.
Following the exposure, the affairs
of the bank were placed in charge
of State officials and they immediately
closed its doors, pending fur
ther investigation. The institution
has a capital of $20,000. Its deposits
aggregate more than $200,000.
Hart was about thirty-five years
of age and was a member of one of

How to Get Into the Spiritual World.
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
except ,a man be born again he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God."
"That which is born of the flesh
is flesh; but that which is born of
the spirit is spirit."
"God is a spirit; and they that
worship him, must worship him in
spirit and in truth."
These are the words of our Saviour
to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews,
who went to inquire of him concerning
his soul's salvation. (See John
' HI.) He found it hard to under
stand, so Christ said: "The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou
hearest the sound thereof, but canst
not tell whence it cometh, or whither
it goeth; so is every one that is born
' of the spirit." Spiritual regeneration
is known by its results. "A
good tree bringeth forth good
fruit." You may give a person
minute instructions how to swim,
but he will never fully understand
it, until he puts his theories into
practice. So it is in spiritual affairs*
we must actually experience a
change of heart, before we can get
into this higher world. As descendants
of Adam we all inherit sinful
natures. This inclination to do evil
can be taken away by Christ, and a
new nature put in its stead. Is not
that a miracle? It is a fact that
many men are so thoroughly ruled
by the evil one, that they rarely ever
. have a pure- thought; this nature
can be entirely changed so that he
will loathe his old life, and will desire
things that are honest, true, and
of good report. It is wonderful to
think that a man, after falling so
low. can be made clean again. Sure
ly there is not one who could object
to such a change.
The great need of our country today
is not wealth but men?"men
who know the right, and, knowing,
dare maintain.'' First get the men
straight and everything else will soon
be properly adjusted. Is not this "a
consummation devoutly to be wished?"
To bring about this marvelous
change, read your hearts, be truly
sorry and earnestly repent of your
wicked deeds. "Cease to do evil;
learn to do well." Stop now, right
about, face! Turn your backs
squarely on the past; resolve, with
God's help, you are going to lead a
clean, pure life. Leave the broad
way that leads to destruction, and
get in the narrow way that leads to
life eternal. Believe me, you will

Of the immortal trio, Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, the latter seems to
have had less of the divine nature
and more of the human. His desires
were centered chiefly on this
world's goods. To gain his ends he
would resort to deceit and trickery.
Consequently, we find he had to
strive very earnestly, wrestling with
the angel one whole night before he
obtained a blessing. He made up
for his shortcomings by his earnestness.
After that he was given a new
name, Israel, meaning prince. The
degree of earnestness with which you
strive will determine the measure of
your blessing. Valuable things are
not so easily gotten. Every difficulty
you overcome makes you that
much stronger.
We must go at this business of
saving souls, like any other, with all
our hearts, if we would succeed.

DEES AS HE FORETOLD.
Man Apparently in Good Health Prophesies
Death a Month Ahead.
Just as he predicted more than a
month ago Frank Lugar of Lambertville,
Pa., died on Thursday at noon
at St. Francis hospital, in Trenton,
N. J. The case is one of the most
remarkable that has ever come to
the notice of local medical practitioners.
Lugar was in perfect health apparently
when he solemnly told his
relatives that at noon on May 25 he
would breathe his last. They only
laughed at him. Then he was taken
ill with some minor trouble and went
to the hospital. His ailment was
slight but his prediction had been
made known to the doctors and
nurses, and Lugar's oase was watch

ea wun mucu interest. nc icuciated
time and again that at noon on
May 25 he would die.
May 25 arrived and Lugar was
seemingly in good condition. At
11:30 o'clock he was talking with
the a/ttendants, apparently in the best
of spirits. They were watching him
with the greatest care at this time.
At 11:45 he began to grow pale and
weak, and at 12 o'clock the man
breathed his last. Death was due to
acute dilatation of the heart, an entirely
different ailment than the one
from which the patient was suffering
when admitted to the institution.
TALE OF GRAFT IN NEW YORK.
t ^
New Man Demanded $500 and Might
Have Had $15,000.
This is a little story of New York
graft, according to the New York'
correspondent of ^he Cincinnati
Times-Star. Unfortunately, the
names mav not be used. But it has
been the custom of a corporation in
this city to pay a sort of retaining
fee to the holder of a certain political
office, just to be let alone. The corporation
heads did not ask anything
else from the officeholder. They
merely did not want to be prodded
by crusades which presumably had
an origin in a desire for reform. The
graft payment for years had been
$10,000. "We'll likely have to pay
more, now that So-and-so is in office,"
said they, when a certain man
was elected. "He has the name of
Koine rorv crucnine "
mv*440 ? v* j o- oSo
they sent an intermediary to
the newly elected officeholder, with
power to negotiate. They were willing
to pay $15,000, if necessary, but
not a penny more. The usual preliminaries
were gone through. "Your
company will have to come over,"
said the officeholder. "I'm no cheap
man. I know you've been paying
right along, and you'll have to pay
me more than you have been giving
up to this office in the past. When
I go grafting I go right." And he
swelled up and looked very important.
The intermediary was fright
ened. He asked very humbly , how
much the officeholder would demand.
"Not a penny less than $500 a
year," said the officeholder, sternly.
The sum was paid, and it was not
until the officeholder had been out
of office for months that he learned
the scale on which previous paymonto

tion actually sent him into decline.
He grieved so over it that he actually
lost his health. If one mentions
a large sum of money in his presence
nowadays he's apt to burst into tears.
win crowns. Can we consistently
call ourselves a Christian nation,
when we consider the enormous
amount of liquors consumed by the
people of the United States? I tell
you it is a misnomer. We are Christians
in name only, because we are
bringing forth evil fruits. It is a
shame on us that we are lagging
in moral reform when China, a
heathen nation, with her teeming
poulation, is making such rapid
strides in stamping out the opium
traffic. She is succeeding beyond her
most sanguine expectations, and is
teaching us a lesson. Yet we have
had greater opportunities. Beware
how you abuse them!
Although China is trying to make
amends for her past, still she cannot
escape the consequences of sin,
and she is now undergoing the horrors
of a famine, with thousands
dying daily. What fate awaits us?
We must reap what we sow. Each
day we are adding to the bitter harvest
of woe ahead. A man cannot
take poison into his system and escape
the consequences. Beware lest
the kingdom of God be taken away
from you and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Hear this ye thirsty ones. Drink
of the living waters and you will
never thirst again. The devil promises
much, but gives little; give him
a peremptory dismissal, and invite
Christ, the rightful owner, in. "If
the Son make you free, then are ye
free indeed.'", How can we escape if
we neglect so great salvation? "Be
wise to-day; 'tis madness to defer."
"Train up a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it."

BOOZER CONVICTED; HIPP FREE
Death Sentenoe Pronounced on Newberry
Negro.
Newberry, June 14.?"Guilty" as
to the negro, Sam Boozer, and "not
gu;lty" as to John C. Hipp, was the
verdict of the jury this afternoon in
the case against the two defendants,
charging them with murder in the
killing, by Boozer, of James S. Gilliam,
Hipp's overseer at old town,
on March 3, last. A motion for a
new trial was noted by Boozer's counsel,
and b>; agreement this motion
will be heard by Judge Gary during
the Laurens court nex;-. week. Boozer
was sentenced to pay the death penalty
on the third Friday in August,
the 18th. The jury retired at 5:20
o'clock this afternoon and the verdict
was returned ntty minutes later.
Should there be no interference
with the sentence imposed to-day,
the execution of Boozer will be the
first legal execution in this county in
about fourteen years. During Sheriff
Buford's first year in office, in
1897, he hanged Tony Lyles for criminal
assault.
Self-Defence Pleaded.
The testimony introduced on behalf
of Boozer to-day was laTgely
that of negro eye-witnesses to the
killing. The plea of self-defence
was interposed, and the fact that
Boozer's wife and daughter had been
slashed by the deceased were also
urged in mitigation. The negro witnesses
testified that the deceased put
his hand in his hip pocket, as he
walked towards Boozer, when coming '
out of his house, and then turned1
around to go back in the house, telling
Boozer to wait until he got his
gun, when Boozer fired.
Boozer's wife ?nd daughter told
of tneir aimcuuy wun vxiiiuuxi auu t.
on cross-examination the State directed
its efforts towards showing
that it was only after Mrs. Gilliam
went down to the home of these negro
women that Gilliam became incensed
at the women.
Deny Being Tattlers.
The negro women, when pressed
by Solicitor Cooper, strenuously denied
that Gilliam accused them of being
carriers of news to his wife.
BOMBSHELL AT LEXINGTON.
Grand Jury Makes Sensational Report
in Magisterial Mnddle.
Lexington, June 14.?The tide
turned to-day in the magisterial muddle
in the fourth district, when the
Lexington county grand jury completely
exonerated E. H. Addy, the
primary nominee, of having committed
any wrong, and presented H. Z.
Adams for offering bribes tp secure
affidavits, and George E. Caughman
for perjury. The finding of the grand
jury is as follows:
"That one H. Z. Adams did offer
bribes to certain parties as an inducement
for them to sign certain
of the affidavits now before us, and
thait D. -H. Price and A. P. Jumper
are the witnesses to prove this fact.
"We also find that George E.
Caughman has committed perjury by
swearing to a certain affidavit now
before us, and that Bron D. Shealy,
A. B. Jumper, J. Z. Taylor and J.
Ansel Caughman are the witnesses
to prove mis utcu
"We, therefore reccmrnend that
bills of - indictment he preferred
against these parties, charging them
with these violations of law.
"We also conclude from this in- '
vestigation that E. H. Addy should
be exonerated from the charge of
participating or engaging in any irregularities
in the conduct or management
of said primary election for
said magistrate, or in any manner
violating law and rules governing
said election."
H. Z. Adams is one of the largest
planters and merchants in the county,
and has always been prominent
in the community where he resides.
George E. Caughman is also a "farmer
and is well connected. These par'

case to the bitter end.
The finding of the grand jury
means thart; E. H. Addy will now assume
the duties of magistrate in the
fourth district, as Gov. Blease will
doubtless issue the commission as
j
soon as the papers in the case reach
the governor's office.
The sentiment of the general public
has been with Mr. Addy all along,
because of the fact that he was elected
only after a third primary had
been ordered. Much feeling has been
engendered in the case, and the hottest
part of the fight it seems has
just begun. It is said on reliable information
that a warrant will be issued
at an early date, charging an
outside party, who is also prominent,
with "treating" with whiskey on the
day of the third primary election,
which will be the first case of the
kind ever tried in the courts of this
State. Court adjourned for the term
this afternoon.
Acquitted of Killing Xegro.
Aiken, June 14.?H. W. McMillan,
Southern Railway freight agent here,
was to-day acquitted of killing Joe
Miller, a negro, whom he killed at
his boarding house several weeks
ago, shooting the negro as he was
fleeing. The jury did not move from
their seats. |

Plenty of evidence to prove their
merits.
D. J. Cain, N. Church St., Bamberg,
S. C., -says: "I suffered from
kidney trouble for two or three years
and during the past six months I had
such severe attacks that I could not
do my work. The pain in my back
was so acute that I could not sit
down without catching hold of something
for support and if I lay down
for awhile, I had to have assistance
in getting up. My kidneys were in
bad shape and doctors seemed unable
to do anything for me. Finally
I got a supply of Doan's Kidney
Pills from the Peoples Drug Co. and
they made so great an improvement
that 1 hardly know how to thank
them. I am now able to do my work
every day and I feel like a different
man." (Statement given March 12,
1908.)
A Willing Re-Endorsement.
Mr. Cain was interviewed on January
26, 1911 and he said: "I gladly
confirm my former statement, regarding
Doan's Kidney Pills. I have
used them occasionally since that
time and they have always brought
the most satisfactory results."
