SILVER SERVICE
Presented to Governor Hey ward
By His , ^ (
MILITARY STAFF.
Tbe Presentation Committee Surprised
the Governor and Captured ' The
Mansion.'' Speech of Presents*
tion Made by Gen. Frost
For Committee.
The Stale says Gov. Heyward was
nlnasantlv fmmrtfuul niirHt
^ ? , "J I
by a visit from a committer repre-1
sentlng his staff, which presented to
him a very handsome silver service of
live pieces. The members of the
stall took occasion to call when it was
known that Gov. Heyward would be
at t) e mansion on a business engage*
ment, and the entire visit was a great
surprise to his excellency.
The object of the visit of so many
militia ( flloers in uniform was some
what of puzzle to Gov. Heyward at
first until tne large case containing
the silver service was taken into the
drawing room. lie was then apprlsed
by his chief of staff, Gen. J no. I).
Frost, of the occasion for formal
call. G v. Heyward was for once
taken entirely ( ff of bis feet, and he
was overwhelmed bv the sentiments
cuuveyeu in u?n. frosts speecn or
presentation, but he easily recovered
his usual pome and made acknowledgment
gracefully and with evident
feeling
Some time ago Gov. Ileyward suffered
the misfortune to lose a valuable
horse, and members of his staff
promoted by the commissary general,
Col. Watty G. Smith of Orangeburg,
proposed to present him with another
saddle animal. From this the movement
took broader form and finally it
was decided to cff<;r a testimonial
which would last longer than Lfe Itself.
The Inscription on the large plate
is as follows:
To nis Excsllency
Duncan Clinch Heyward
Governor of South Carolina
19< 2 to 1906
presented by ihe members of his
military sraff to tbeii friend
and commander-in chief
as a token of h*g.i regard
and esteem for one who

Gen. Frost, In presenting the service
said:
"Wo ome to your home with
pleasure always, but we come with
peculiar pleasure to see you this even
Ing. We were among those who congratulated
our State when the honor
of chief magistracy of the State was
conferred upon you, and we felt more
than pride when .yahi selected us to be
included among U:o members of your
cilioi'jkl famiiv. As members of your
military strff we have had close asso
elation witu you, but deeper and
truer than this are the ties that bind
u* together in the bonds of friendship.
"We have felt the Influence of this
communion, wo have felt the pleasure
by such goodly fellowship; ours has
been the inspiration of such association.
We have watched with pride
your career as governor of our native
State, and we have ever seen that the
rcput.ailon and the honor of South

^governor ha64: meant progress and

V , and increasing reputation abroad.
"We come this evening to express
our high appreoiatlon of what you
have done for South Carolina and in
doing this we desire always to express
our esteem and regard for our friend.
We do this in simplest words and in
doing this, Gov. Heyward, it is our
great pleasure to present to you this
testimonial of our regard and of our
friendship. This has Its memory,
too; we are truly glad to present to
you this events? this evidence of our
friendship and affection. It will live
thruugh years, It will speak to generations

speech long after the eternal silence
has sealed all the lips of those who
now s^ joyously share these liappy
moments
"May happy moments lorg linger
around the memories of tonight; may
this silver service when reminding
you of arduous responsibilities speak
tofcyou of golden momenta and of
golden friendship; may your service
to your State continue its career of
honor and usefulness; and may the
future have for you and your dear
ones the rewards that truth and
faithful Bcrvlce alone can bring."
When Gen. Frost had concluded,
Gov. Ileyward made acknowledgment
in a few words which eloquent
ly and forcefully expressed *he emotions
ooDjured in his heart, not so
much by the magnitioence of the gift
as In three words in the inscription?
"to their friend." He declared It to
be a cherished fancv that iu retiring
from office ho woo 11 not lose those
who otllolally and otherwise are to
him friends.
A number of militia (tflcers who
were attending the convention were
present by Invitation of the members
of the staff. Gov. Ileyward has consented
to let the service be placed in

TlUttlO DEATH.
P L. CANNON SLAIN BY HIS STEPSON.
Who Shot Him, He] Fays, Because
He illtreated His Mother
and Sister.
P L. Cannon, who was borned and
rared in the city of O angehurg, was
shot ?nd Instantly killed by his stepson,
Ubt Mlllican, on the streets of
the city of Spartanburg at ten o'clock
last Saturday night. The shooting
took place on Morgan i q rare. almcst
in front of the Palm cafo The deer1
was committed with a 44 calibre Winchester
rllle.
Cannon fell dead in the door of the
cafe, into which he had started to
run, the bullet having en'ered his
back at the centre of the left shoulder
blade and passed through the heart,
coming out just over the left nipple.
Death in the opinion of the physicians,
was instantaneous.
Mlllican was arrested by Chief of

get hold of the young man t>efore the
first shot was fired The young man
stated that he had shot Ills step
father and that he hoped that he had
killed him. He stated that Cannon
had beat his mother and had made
advances to his sister. The coroner's
it quest was held Saturday night and
was In session at a late hour. The
shooting occured when the iq iare
was crowded with Satu;day night
shoppers snd attraced a large crowd.
From the testimony of the witnesses
at the Inquest, Cannon was stan
ding In the street near the curbing
with his back turned to the street.
Uoi Mill lean was eeen coming down
the square by Chief Dean, as he stated,
from the direction of the car line
Chief Dean ran toward the young man
and before he reached him the first
shot was fired, which shot Is thought
to be the one which oaused Cannon's
death. Cannon ran toward the cafe

the door his strength failed him and
he fell in the vestibule dead.
A dispatch from Spartanburg says:
Gannon was well-known th re, having
at one time been a part owner in the
Palm cafe. Th* family, c onsisting of
Mr. and Mrs. Cannon, Ubi and a
daughter, moved to Spartanburg
sometime ago from the Vances section
of Orangeburg County, where
Mrs. Cannon owned considerable real
estate, which had been accumulated
by her first husband. The dispatoh
further says that Cannon was a heavy
drinker and reports of the mistreat
ment of his wife had been current on
the streets for some time.
The news of Cannon's tragio deeth
was a shock to his relatives and
friends In Orangeburg, where ho had
lived all his life up to a few yc&re ago.
Some years ago he married a widow
lady by the name of Millican who lived
near Yances in Orangeburg County.
The woman's first husband, Millican,
was a trrpenttne operator, and by
hard work had accumulated considerable
property. The mtrriai/e ?p.f*ma

considerably older than her hue

The unfortunate young man w?s
the second son of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Peter G. Cannon, of Orangeburg,
who were highly respeoted

three sisters, who have the s>m j&thy
of all our people in their bereavement
caused by rhp tragic death of their
brother. Por several years past
young Cannon was very dissipated in
his babits, and his tragic end did not
surprise those who were intimately
acquainted with the man and knew
his mode of living. He has had sever&l
rowes, in one of whioh he was
shot so badly that it came near terminating
his life.

ALL IN ON t5 COFFIN.
Frto of a Nayy Man and IIin Bntire
Family.
() le of the spookiest stories that
has followed the terrible San Francisco
arthquiko aud tire comes from the
navy department, and is therefore,
entirely authentic and worthy of belief.
A man named Hanson was In
t.Vlfi pnliHt.prl Httrvlrvo i\t t.Via nnuu ??
Mare Island. With him lived his
wife, mother and twoohlldren. They
were in San Franclaooat the time of
the eaithquake, and were covered
with tons of debris, afterwards being
burned to a crisp: Hanson was missed
and a search was instituted for
him. lie was found, or rather what
remained of him together with the
charred bodies of his family.
When Hanson's friends discovered
his fato they opened up communication
with the navy department to
know if tohe government would pay
the cost of transportation of the holies
of the family from San Francisco
to Washington that Hanson's body
might be properly intered in Arlington
cemetery Tne department did
not know at that time that any of
the family had suffired In the lire,
but the enlisted man, and so wired
back that only the body of Hanson
oould be transported to Washlhgton
at the expense of the government.
In duo time a reply came that the {
bodies of Hanson, bis two children,
wife and mother were In the same
c< til a, and that it woul 1 be impossible
to distinguish one from the other. .
Otil cere of the navy department are
not generally spooky, but upon receipt
of this telegram there was a general
desire to drop the matter. It was
out of the ordinary run of things. It
was finally decided that under the ,
circumstances all of the bodies should
be brought bore for burial lu Arllng
ton, arid this will doubtless be done
as stt in as arrangements are concluded.

Wednesday signed the firemen's pension
bill. The b 11, It will be remembered,
provides for a pension for the
firemen of the state to be paid by the

at the time of the passage of tne bill
protested against It and since that
time have been urging the governor
not r.o sign the hill, claiming among
other things toat lb was not constitutional.
Giv. Hey ward called upon
the attorney general for his opinion
and Gen. Yournans stated that the
constitutionality of the law c;uld he
tested at a later date o?rore there
had baen any money paid over. Acting
upon his advice the bill was signed
and at the expiration of ten days
becomes a law.

BRYAN IN INDIA.
He is Warmly Greeted in the
City of Kombay
BY \ HUGE AUDIENCK
Which Crowds the City Mall to Hear
Eloquent American Deliver a Lecture
en the Piince of Peace.
Me is Qiven a Grand
Ovation.
Indian newspapers received recently
show that In India as elsewhere on
tils travels Mr. Bryan received cordial
reception. The Indion Mirror, pub
llstied at Calcutta, In Its Issue of
March 9 prints a long editorial paying
high cotnpllmeut to Mr. Bryan, and
congratulates the people of India upon
the fact that Mr. Bryan Is making
observations in their oouutry, the
publication of whioh can not but be
of advantage to the observed.
"The Advocate of ludla," published
at Hombay, in its Issue of March,
24, pays a high tribute to Mr. Bryan
and reminds the people of Bombay
that they should not miss the opportunity
of making his acquaintance,
saying. "The points of view from
which Mr. Bryan may be admired are
various and many."
In its issue of March 27 "The Times
of Bombay" prints the following editorial:
mu. buyan'b visit.
The arrival in Bombay Tuesday of
Mr, William Jennings Bryan, the
leader of the great democratic party
of the United States, is an event of
singular interest. Mr. Bryan n?eds
no introduction to the citizens of Bombay.
Ills fame is already world-wide.
He has twloe been nominated as Oin
dldate for the presidency of the United
States; and though he was not
successful, he ecj >ys the complete
confidence of millions of his fellowcountryman,
and he Is young enough
to try again. The Issues of American
polltiow aro no direct concern of Rumnay;
It in enough for this city to know
that Mr. Bryan Is one of the greatest
of living Americans, to make It glad
to have him In Its midst. It welcomes
him because his visit typlilos and represents
that Intense interest in India
and its people which is so characteristic
of modern America. That interest
Is all the more appreciated because
It proceeds from no other motive than
a deep and sympathetic regard for
the natlvos of India, and from a
desire to know them better, and to
study the system of administration
under which they live. It is a fac
that during tne last year or two
the number of American travelers
visiting India has probably exceeded
those of any nationality other than
British; and this fact is only one indication
of that eager inclination to
learn more of India which is at once
discovered by any visitor to the United
States from this country. Mr.
Bryan is understood to look with
some misgivings upon the policy of
expansion in the Pacific on which his
mighty nation has now enteied; but
whatever may be the principles to
which h3 adheres, we trust that in
the vasu machinery which represents
British rule in the India of today, he
will find some features which may invite
tils approval.
"Mr. Bryan is not only a great
American, he is also, by common c >n
sent, the greatest living orator in a na
tion of orators. lie hasconferred upon
Bombay a welcome privilege in consenting
to deliver his famous address,
*Tne Prince of Peace,' in the town
hall this afternoou at fl o'clock. The
address lias for its theme reflections
suggested by a visit to the tomb of
Napoleon. Admission is free, and the
only srouble we fear is that even the
town hall will not suflicc.to hold those
who are es-ger to avail themselves of
Mr. Bryan's graceful acquiescence In
tno widely-expressed wisn that he
should dell ver a public address in Bombay.
As a speaker, his power* are un
ique. Whatever views his hearers
may begin by holding, he so grips
them by his magnetic personality and
the Intensity of his conviction, that
they Invariably end by acknowledging
the power of his magic i/ift of silvern
speech. If he c >uld gather the whole
population of the United States into
one vast hill he would be elected president
by acclamation. None c .uid
say him nay- whatever they might
think the next morning. The man
who can exercise this wonderful gift
Is a man worth hearing, and in welcoming
Mr. Bryan among them, the
oltzcns of Bombay arc grateful for
the kindly feeling which has led him
to consent to address them."
In its issue of March 28, the Times,
of India, prints an account of Mr.
Bryan's recaption in Bombay. This
accuuat follows.
''Bombay, Town Ilall, in the course
of its history extending now for a period
of three quarters of a century, h h
been the scene of many historic and
eventful gatherings, but is is doubt-1
ful whether any have been of & more
interesting or unique character than
the one whtoh took place last even |
ing, when the spacious hall was
densely packed with citizens of Bombay,
eager to see and hear the great
Amerloan democratic leader, Mr.
| William Jennings Bryan. The audience
was cosmopolitan in the extreme.
| Americana, of course, turned up la
large numbers, and while Englishmen
were well to the fore, there were also
representatives from other European
oountries. By far the large msj >rlty,
! however, was oomposed of natives of
India. The gathering was a striking
testimony to the world wide usage of
the Kugilsh language, for those present
were English speaking people,
and had aosc moied togeouer to hear
one of the greatest masters of oratory
deliver an address In that language;
The personality of the man, no doubt,
attrtoted many, but the chief and
predora'natlng reason for the attendance
was the desire to ILten to American's
foremost orator. At the outset
it Is safe to say that those who
had the good fortune to be present received
an intellectual treat.
"Long before the time for the meeting
to commence- 6 o'clock?the
Town Ilall was packed. It is estimated
that with those standing by
the windows and doors, there were
quite three thousand persons present,
aud of these only & small proportion
wore seated, the sides and back of
the hall being tilled with people perfectly
willing to put up with the discomfort
of standing. The hall was
tastefully decorated with Mags, prominent
by the organ being the stars
aud stripes, the union jack, and the
Japanese national emblem. At tlve
minutes to six the Hon. Mr. Fulton,
Sir Lawrence Jenkius and Dr. Macklohan
arrived and were warmly welcomed,
and a minute later Sir P. M.
Mohta's entrance was the signal for a
great ovation. Only a minute was
wanted for tl e hour when the American
oounsul, Mr. W. T. Fj6, escorted
the dlstlngulsned visitor on to the
nlat.furm t.lm unHlonon a i ?>..
r . W. ? , ?uu uuuiuuvu nuUllllllUK iiiiu
a splendid reception. Mr. Bryan was
seated between Dr. Macklchau and
Sir Lawrence Jenkins In a few happily
expressed sentences, Dr. Mackiohan,
wlio presided, Introduced
Mr. W. J. Bryan, who
then delivered his address on "The
Prince of Peace." Mr. Bryan spoke
for exactly one hour, and throughout
the whole of his oration he had the
undivided attention of his audience.
Those who are best calculated to
know, atllrm that the company last
nlgot was the largest ever gathered
within the Town Hall, and it o insisted
of divers races and creeds. It consequently
speaks much for the magnetic
influence of the man when it is
remembered that for one hour Mr.
Bryan held this varied gathering
under the spell of his eloquence, while
he discoursed a sub)act in which at
least two-thip&lW those present could
have but little, if any, sympathy. AJ1
listened with the closest Interest, and
there was certainly much in which all
could agree. The happy epigrams,
and choice phrases in which Mr. Bryan
vavfi vnlntt Oman nrlnnlnlna
_ ?vf ?|/11UUI|/IU1 Ul
morality which are for the advancement
of the brotherhood of man were
warmly applauded by all sections of
the audience. Mr. Bryan possesses a
clear and silvery voice and every word
was to be distinctly heard in the uttermont
corners of the hall. At iirst
he Is slow and quiet, but as he warms
into his subject and becomes engaged
In argument, he grows more vehement
in manner and ends In a perfect torrent
of words, well ohoseu and beautifully
expressed. His style never loses
its deeply impressive character, and
one feels that tire man is Riving vent
to feelings right from the heart. For
onoe the audience really sees a man in
earnest, and the word* carry conviction.
A religious address is, however,
very d iTorent to a political one, when
men's passions are easily aroused, and
denunciation and invective of an opposite

Mr. Brvau iiad a d.tllcult
t&tk to fuitill. Following his custom
when outside America he decided to
leave politics severely alone, and he
c mtined himself to an essentially religious
topic. Many of those present
were of a totally ditferent way of
thinking to the great statesman, and
tnat he succeeded in keeping all more

but be classed as a remarkable oratorical
feat. It was a brilliant speeoh,
and freely acknowledged by all so to
be. At the conclusion the Hon. Mr.
Fulton suitably voloed the thanks of
those present to Mr. Hryan and the
proceedings terminated. Mr. Hryan
will carry away from these shores
many pleasant rarmorlesof his preseut
tour through India, but one can
ciiitldently assert that the remembrance
of the wen lerful gathering in
the Bombay Town Ilall will loug be
treasured as one of the happiest events
of & memorable tour by America's
great democrat."
