nected with the racing meet on the
State fair grounds, to show caus<
why an injunction should not be is
sued against them, collectively anc
severally,, for maintaining a commor
nuisance in connection with the
r
races. The allegations presented bj

of responsible parties, thai
betting and gambling is carried on
on a large scale, in connection with
the races.
Doesn't Stop Races.
The order is not a temporary injunction

of restraining the conduct of the
races at this time. The order is returnable
before the supreme courl
on next Wednesday, December 13,
1911, at 10 a. m. It is understood
that among those making affidavits

"I am not a candidate for the presidential

cabman impose on him; and when it
comes to making rates for traffic from
the postoffice to the White Jlouse he
intends to be his own interstate commerce
commission.
The senator arrived at the White
house this morning by way of a rather
dilapidated cab. As he stepped
out he turned to the driver and handed
him a quarter. The cabman looked
at the quarter and then at the
senator.
"The rate is fifty cents," he said.
"What?" said Senator Tillman
"do you mean to say it is fifty cents
from the postoffice to the White
.House?"
"Yes, sir," said the cabby.
^ "You can look at the rates inside
for yourself."
"Well," said Senator Tillman, "it
is too much and I won't pay it," and
walked into the White House office.
The cabman turned away laughing,
but kept the quarter.
GARLINGTON AND YOUNG IX JAIL
t Former Seminole Officers Met at
Train by Richland Sheriff.
)
f Columbia, Dec. 6.?John Y. Gar1
lington and James Stobo Young are
3 reposing in the Richland county jail
3 to-night, having reached here from
5 Laurens at midnight over the C., N.
c and L. They were met at the train
- by Sheriff Coleman and taken at once
3 to the Richland county jail. As soon
j as the commitment is made out by
5 the clerk of court they will be placed
3 in the penitentiary to begin their sen
tences of three years and one year re
spectively. It is presumed that the
t commitment will be issued in the
morning and that by noon both Garlington
and Young will be numbered
1 among the inmates at the State peni
tentiary.
Messrs. Christie Benet and R. E.
- Carwile, two of the counsel who de
fended the prisoners at their trial,
- were at the train when it arrived and
#
i accompanied them to the jail. The
? party made five, the journey from
- the depot to the jail being on foot.
I Both Garlington and Young shook
i hands with the sheriff and the attori
neys when they alighted from the
' train and seemed to be not in the
- least perturbed.
: BOY "INDIAN" KIlXS SISTER.
1 Gun Left Too Handy by Father,
Child Tragedy Results.
Lewisburg, Pa., Dec. 9.?Shooting
at his 3-year-old sister, Mary,
5 while playing Indian, Harry Bickel,
m7 almost instantlv killed the
h "'
' child at Mazejja, six miles east of
' here.
The tragedy was the result of their
5 father, William Bickel, leaving a
loaded gun on the hack porch on returning
from a hunt. Discovering
^ the weapon, while Bickel was at the
barn hitching the horse to take the
children to school, Harry suggested i
to his sister that they play Indian.
' The little girl, who was in the house,
agreed, and placed herself on guard
at a window.
Gradually getting closer to the
' window, the boy discharged the gun,
1 the contents striking his sister in
1 the face badly mangling it.They
"Need the Money."
, Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 6.?Twelve
University of Pennsylvania medical
students who "need the money"
have put their bodies in the care of
the United States Government for
experimental purposes and formed an
eating squad which meets morning,
. noon and evening to eat government
food, prepared with different kinds
. of aluum, in order to test the effect
it will have on their systems.
The experiments are being carried
out by Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, of the
i Ramsen Board, assisted by fourteen
government chemists. The squad
has been eating alum for some time
! and shows no ill effects. Its members
will continue on the govern.
ment's diet until June. The members
of the squad receive their board and
$5 a week.
The danger of being injured by the
. food amounts to practically nothing,
as each man is watched by Dr. Al.
fred Stengle, the physician appointed
by the government to watch out
. for the men. They are examined alr>~,not

Sheriff Not Guilty.
Barnwell, Dec. 9.?At a late hour
. last night the jury in the case of the
State against Sheriff Frank H.
. Creech, charged with assault and
, battery with intent to kill, returned a
verdict of not guilty. On the after.
noon of August 5, at the Southern
depot, Sheriff Creech fired his pistol
to stop a buggy in which John and
. Barney McLemore and Frank Grubbs
. were riding, after his command to
halt had been disregarded. The
ball passed through the coat sleeve
of Barney McLemore and lodged in
, John's leg. The sheriff was attempting
to seize an alleged shipment of
. whiskey. The verdict of, the jury
. was not unexpected by those who
t heard the testimony. As this was the
; last case to be tried by the court of
i general session a nigra sessiuu was
; held in order to finish it up and al.
low the jurors to depart for their
homes.
Submitted Without Argument.
' It is said that one of David B.
Hill's first law suits was a non-jury
case, in which the opposing counsel
f was one of the best attorneys in New
York State. Hill gave a speech
which lasted about three hours. It
' was such a speech as might be ex
- i ? A ; +
' pected rrom a young lawjer, emu. it |
was very trying to the court. After
he had finished his opponent arose
and said: "May it please the court,
1 I intend to follow the example of my
young friend, and submit the case
without argument." Hill, lost the
case.

MAY RESTORE SERVICE.
Congressman Byrnes Urges Postmaster
General to Do So.
Washington, Dec. 6.?Congressman
Byrnes to-day took up with
Postmaster General Hitchcock the
matter of having the mail agent
placed on the afternoon train from
Augusta to Port Royal and Beaufort
on the Charleston & Western Carolina
railroad. Until recently trains
carrying the mail from Augusta to
Beaufort and other points along the
line left Augusta in the afternoon. 1
When, however, a morniDg train was i
placed in operation the mail agent ,
was taken off the afternoon train.
The result of this is that morning,
mail out of Columbia and elsewhere 1
does not reach its destination until 1
the next day, because the train from i
Augusta passes the junction point be- ,
fore the one from Columbia reaches
there.
Mr. Byrnes explained the matter
at length to Mr. Hitchcock and told 1
him the hardship it was proving to
the citizens of Columbia and other ,
places. He believes the postoffice department
will remedy the situation
by placing the mail agent back on the
afternoon train.
No Liquors Served for President Taft
By his total abstinence President ?
Taft has aided very materially in <
creating a sentiment against serving (
wines at public functions. The
following from an exchange shows
that through deference for the presi- 1
dent wines were not servea at iwu
banquets given in his honor while i
on his western tour: ,
"Two banquets attended by President
Taft on his recent Western trip
underwent changes in the programs *
in respect to the presence of intoxi- 1
eating liquors on the table after plans <
had been arranged by those in charge i
of the spread. In St. Louis the in- ^
toxicants were taken off the menu !
because the Presbyterian ministers of ;
the city insisted that it would be dis- 1
courteous to permit them before the <
plate of a totally abstaining guest. <
In Pittsburg, the plans originally con- ,
templated a banquet in a hotel, at
which wine was to be served, but the
magnitude of the dinner made neces- 1
sary the use of the Soldiers' Memo- 1
rial hall, and the county commission- i
ers, who have charge of that build- <
ing, directed that no liquor should
be brought into it."
Resents Action of Connecticut. <
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 9.?Fitzhugh ;
McMaster, State Insurance Commis- j
sioner, gave to the press to-day advance
copies of a section from his '
forthcoming annual report to the I
general assembly, in which he recom- |
mends that South Carolina put on {
notice all States which may have <
such "insulting statutes" as a certain
law of Connecticut that "these '
statutes must be blotted out, or that '
after a given time South Carolina |
shall refuse to grant any franchise {
to a corporation from that State to j
do business in South Carolina."
' * 1 ? ?** n t?f* /\
"Keiaiiatory leglSiauuu, bayb cur;
commissioner, "savors of the methods
of the highwayman and is not
recommended. But with dignity one
State may decline dealing with another
which wantonly and unjustifiably
impugns the integrity of her
promises^to pay by a statutory enactment,
because, forsooth, at one time
scalawags from other sections of the
country united with renegades and
negroes in South Carolina, and, sustained
in power by military, issued
fraudulent bonds and unloaded them
on willing takers in the sections from
which the scalawags came."
Reference is had to a statute of
Connecticut forbidding savings banks
to invest in State, county or municipal
bonds of several States south of
the Mason and Dixon line.
Mystery Over Shooting. j
Franklin, N. C., Dec. 9.?There
have been no developments of importance
in the shooting affair which occurred
at West's Mill, this county,
Thursday night, when former State
Senator W. J. West's daughter and
her sweetheart, Perry Morrison,
were shot. West's objections to Morrison
paying attention to his daughter
brought on the quarrel which re- !
suited in the gun play. West claims
that Morrison shot the girl and he
shot' Morrison in defense of his ;
daughter. Morrison says that West i
shot both of them. Owing to these i
* 1 " 1 X _ U. _ ? ? A? AM/) f V> /\ 1
contradictory statemeuts <iuu mc j
fact that no other evidence has come !
out, the authorities have made no i
arrests. 1
It now appears that Morrison's <
mother was somewhere in the build- '
ing when the shooting occurred, but i
she has made no statement and there
is a noticeable reticence on the part i
of all those who may throw light on '
the circumstances surrounding the i
affair. s
Both Morrison and the girl receiv- 1
ed two wounds and their condition i
has been critical since then. Accord- ]
ing to the statements of physicians <
and attendants, there is little pros- 1
pect for the recovery of either of :
the injured parties.

Three Negroes Burned by Mob.
Memphis, Dec. 6.?Two negroes
and one young negress were burned t
to death by a mob of white land c
