Hameter, of Blackstock, was struck by an automobile belonging to Mr. J. Caldwell Robertson shortly after noon to-day. on upper Main street, and knocked down, her skull being ; crushed. She was removed at once > to a hospital and given medical attention, but died this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, without recovering con1 sciousness. The body was taken to I a local undertaking establishment and made ready for shipment to , Blackstock. The Rev. W. S. Hameter, of Blackstock, the husband of the dead woman, arrived in the city ' to-night, accompanied by several onH tho hnHv nrnhahlv will 11 ICUU^t uau vmv r- ^ , be taken there to-morrow for burial. In the car at the time of the accident were Miss Olive Robertson, daughter of Mr. Caldwell Robertson, I a girl friend and the negro chauffeur, , Horace Jones. The automobile had just turned into Main street, about opposite Smith's drug store, when Mrs. Hameter, just at this spot, alighted from a hack and in an endeavor either to dodge some vehicle or catch a street car, ran in front of Mr. Robertson's car. The force of the contact threw Mrs. Hameter to the sidewalk, her skull being crushed in by the blow. Mrs. Hameter's husband is pastor of the Presbyterian church at Blackstock and the news of the terrible accident was learned with horror by the people of this city. In addition to the husband several children survive. Mr. and Mrs. Hameter only recently moved to Blackstock from North Carolina. The negro chauffeur, Horace Jones, immediately surrendered him' self and was locked up in jail. An inquest over the body of Mrs. Hameter will he held to-morrow morn ing at 11 o'clock by Coroner R. D. Walker. Mr. Robertson said that to-day was i the first time his car had been out on i Main street during fair week, and he had kept it off in order to avoid just such accidents as happened. He says that he did not even take it' to the fair grounds on account of the ; crowds. Mr. Robertson says that 1 his chauffeur is a careful driver and he had given him instructions to be extra careful this week. Disagrees With Smith. ' Editor The Bamberg Herald: I listened recently at an oration by Senator Smith at the unveiling cere, monies of the Confederate monument at Bamberg, and I wish to criticize him through the medium of your, paper. He maintained that the South's principles were grounded upon divine injunction, which philosophy I ? ??"~ + Tnaomn/lli QIC tVlP I UU 11U l dgl CC W I Hi. iiiaauiuKu buw South did ont preserve slavery as a just or moral principle, we cannot admit that it was consonant with justice to preserve slavery at all; and in consequence we find no divine injunction or principle at all. The only principle that we can glean from the doctrine is that it is wrong to take away any possessions illegally. But the Great Teacher said: "The captive shall be set free." So we see that the idea of clivine injuction is lost sight of, so where is the prinrti r\l d 9 * VA|/iV Again he emphasized that the ' South did not surrender her principles at the surrender, or upon uniting with the nation. I maintain that , the South did surrender 1ier principles, and I shall endeavor to prove ' it. A government (municipal) is , formed by the popular sovereignty. This means that the people by tfceir > ipdividual choice, unitedly, formed a government for the whole, which government is supported by delegates chosen by the majority to represent them in the legislature both State and national. Then as the South was defeated in her undertaking, the principles for which she fought was defeated also, for it would not have been compatible for her to have preserved her principles upon uniting with the union or upon coercion. In this I maintain that the South's principles grew out of the issues engendered, namely, the retention of . slavery, etc. There was no adaptibility for the two sections, inasmuch as there was such a divergence of commercial interests, and in consequence the weaker was made to surrender her commercial interests to the stronger by compulsion. Then we say that owing to the inadaptibility of the two sections, that at the surrender of one's priciples that the principles which I she maintained are sftill preserved in unity? Indeed, not so. But a theorizer may say that the South had a right to support her Staite rights, but the doctrine of State rights is ungrounded, as the national constitution does not privde for that choice. It is my office, no matter where I see error arrayed to resist it. I don't know whether the senator is a lawyer, but am certain that he has not mastered the rudiments of municipal government, even if he has a seat in the national legislature by the sovereign vote of the people, for his definition of individual liberty is certainly out of spirit with the true sense in which a son of liberty would interpret it. Now Webster's unabridged gives us a good definition of individualism thus: "The state of individual interest or attachment to the interest of individuals in preference to the common interests of society." Now, v- - . / h.: GOV. O'NEAL FIRES THREE. Makes Charges of Corruption Against State's Officers. Montgomery, Nov. 4.?Following an independent investigation, made by his representatives, into rumors of graft in Jefferson county, Gov. Emmet O'Neal to-day removed from office Col. Peyton G. Bowman, of Birmingham, back tax commissioner of Jefferson county, and State Prison Physicians E. T. Fields and S. J. . Van. Col. Bowman, heretofore one of the governor's closest personal friends, was discharged, according to announcement, because of irregularities in the conduct of his office, the acceptance of $500 "influence" money from Dr. S. J. Vann to secure the latter's appointment as convict physician, and his connection with the sale of the stock of the Alamo Gas and Oil Company, in which he is said to be interested, and | which, it is alleged, in part was dis- | posed of to applicants for saloon licenses in Birmingham on the strength of Bowman's promise to see that the "right sort" of excise committee was appointed. ' Dr. E. T. Fields, of Ensley, convict physician of the No. 12 prison, was removed, according to the governor's letter addressed to him, because he acted as go-between in securing an office through Bowman for Dr. Vann, holding * a certified check given him by Vann for Bowman until the former's appointment had been made by the governor. Dr. Vann, Gov. O'Neal announces, was discharged because "no man who has paid, or who supposes that he has paid, for a public office is qualified to hold it" PAULLIXG DOESN'T WANT IT. House Member Declines Appointment as Calhoun's Sheriff. St. Matthews, Nov. 4.?Mr. H. C. Paulling, the lone member of the house of representatives from Calfrom Gov. Blease to-day, offering him the unexpired term caused by the death of Sheriff Olin M. Dantzler. They are warm personal friends, but the tender was declined with thanks. It is known that a movement was made to have Mr. W. Perry Shirer, a brave, competent and conservative lumberman and farmer, of Lone Star, appointed, who is also a personal friend of the governor, but he refused to consider it. The News and Courier correspondent is authoritatively informed tonight that the delegation from this county has finally settled upon a well known citizen, who will accept if offered the position. INFANT DIES OF BURNS. Mother Also Injured in Effort to Save Child. Spartanburg, Nov. 4.?Little Walter Robinson, aged 18 months, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Frank' Robinson, who came here a short time ago from Columbia, died early this morning from burns received yesterday. The baby, who was just learning to walk, attempted to burn an envelope which he picked up when his mother left him alone in the room with his fouryear-old brother; his clothing caught fire and he received fatal burns before -his mother was able to extinguish the flames. Her hands were horribly burned in her heroic efforts to save the life of her child. The body will be shipped to Chester to-morrow for burial. Mr. Robinson is an insurance agent. I have never read the constitution of the United States, but I have read commentaries on it, and if I have 'never read it, my individual conscience is good enough constitution for me, and so is every sane man's conscience. This comes to us by inspiration. I would judge that the senator's definition for individualism would better suit for imperialism. Every man as a member of society is restrained to a certain degree, and if this were not true why one would have the unlawful right to encroach upon the rights of another, so thus the necessity for society under the comomn name of popular government. Although I am a true Southerner and I am proud of my heritage, I maintain that the great Calhoun did not prove the compatibility with the constitution for a State to secede from the union, under the head of what the South called State rights. This would be allowing too much laxity to individual liberty, for a section or compact of common people united under one head with a provisional government, and to cut loose and nullify those stipulated provisions would be incompatible and work to the detriment of the other members of the compact. You may say thart; slavery was constitutional. Yes, it was constitutional, but was it not just as much the office of the Northerners to claim the unconstitutionality of the slave law as it was for the South to claim its constitutionality? That was a momentous question at that time. I deem it but perfectly consonant with justice to abolish slavery, and so will any sane Southerner. Then if the framing of a constitution to suit the conditions of common society, was not the incentive to unfetter the slave purely inspirational? Is not all civil government inspirational? So any logical mind will have to concede that the doctrine of individ- 1 ualism purely defines individual lib- < erty, and that our individual liber- ( ties are restrained for the common , good of society.
