Oil a Mountain Urado In i'onnaylvania Proved Mom Fatal. Elevon men who were returning from Portage to Puritan, both minning towns, were kihed on the Mar tin's Branca, a spur running from Portage to Purltau, a distance of four miles, by a runaway car whieh had been started down the steep mountain grade by some unknown person. Toe miners had been to Portage and wore returning to their homes. When the car was finally stopped near Portage It was seen that the wheels were covered with blood and shreds of clothing, and an investigation disclosed the bodies of the men laying along the track. Some jf the bodies were a half mile apart. Not more than two bodies were found lu any one spot. The railroad track Is generally traversed by people going from Portage to Puritan. Cars never run over the line after nightfall. The oar crashed Into a number of cars standing on the track and was wrecked. An Investigation disclosed blood and particles of clothing on the wheels, and several men were sent back over tne track to see what had started the car on its wild trip. They had gone but a short dlstanoe when they were horiiied by seeing the mangled remains lying beside the track.Going further another body was found. Several hundred feet up the deoline, two bodies, horribly mangled were lying on the track. On and still on the searchers weut and by the time they had arrived at Puritan elevrn bodies had been counted. The accident is one of the most peoullar that ever occurred in the history o: railroading in this section. An engine and flat car were sent ever the line and the bodies gathered and taken to a mining settlcmrnt near Puritan. Four or live men were injured, hut not seriously. (Jtliolals of the Puritan mine who have just been reached declared Tuesday morning that It is their belief mat the car was started down the line by strikers, the mines having started on a non union basis seveial weeks ago. Will SwueptliHUuuiitry. if A l,nn..n ni, ? i O.U nuncuu, xUA?a, Y* tJUUUttUity afternoon, speaking to ao audience of uver 5,000 Senator Bailey declared In the most emphatic and enthusiastic way his desire and belief that William J. Bryan will be nominated and eleoted to the presidency of the United States in 1008. This declaration met with wild applause. Speaking of political contributions of the insurance companies, he said that the people's money was taken to elect Roosevelt and McKiuley. Continuing he Bald: "Hear me, all the money that the lnmranoo potentates have will not be able to buy the election In 1008 against William J. Bryan. I tell you more, my oountrymen," Senator Ballsy continued, unless the Republican party shall recognize the proud and Indignant judgment of the American people and pass a law making it a crime to buy an American president, Bryan's vote in 1008 will be more unanimous than McKinley's was in 1800. Attempted t<> Kscape. Black Diamond Rlgsby., a negro under sentence to be hanged, made a lesperate break for liberty Wednesday while being conveyed from New Orleans to Plaquemine, La., to be executed. Rlgsby and George Polndext/cr, another negro, both under the leath sentence for one of the most leos&tlonal murders in the history of the States, were on their way to Pialuemine under the guard of SheritT fetlt of Iberville parish. Petit'* prisoners had been brought to Now Jrleans from Piaquemine, the scene )f the murder, to escape threatened lynching. About 70 miles from Now Jrleans Rlg&by suddenly produced a revolver and shot the sheriff in the [.high. The ctlicer struggled with his prisoner until au armed passenger sent i bullet through Rtgsby's head, kiting him instantly. fi5 i i? THE FIRST GUNii In Defence of the State Dispensary Fired at Sandy Flats BY SENATOR TILLMA.N. Says It's Much Harder to Keep Forty County Dispensaries Pure Than One State Dispensary, and Indulges in sooie Plain Talk. Certain. Legislators. Senator B. H. Tillman tired the first gun in thlsoamp&lgn In defenoe of the State Dispensary on Saturday at Sandy Flats in Greenville County, lie was greeted by & large and enthusiastic crown, and as usual the Senator presented his views with clearness and force. Ho does not believe in CountyiDlspensaries and gives his rea auuo no outlines His ideas as to how I the State Dispensary can be run honestly and pays his respects to the members of the Legislature who refused to vjte for measures to reform the dispensary at the last session. We priut below the full text of the Senator's speech, and we feel sure It will be read with interest: There Is but one important Issue Involved in this campaign so far as State affairs go, and as for my own oaudldaoy It rests on the record which i have made since 1 entered public life sixteen years ago and the intimate knowledge winch the people of the State have of my character, personality and quailtloatlous. 1 am willing to leave it there without disousslou or presentation. The tight is State Dispensary vs. County Dispensary, for no one expects the prohibition oandi dates, however worthy and well qualltied they may he, to receive very much support. With all their etlorts (and tuey have been many and Ion# continued) the newspapers which have always fought the dispensary have not been able to drum up a candidate for Governor who advocates local option straight as against dispensary and prohibition, and only in Charleston does that idea have any men offering for otlloe under It. The local option offered the people Is between prohibition and county dispensary, and the whole tight is to destroy the State dispensary first with no other purpose than to then obtain the privilege of reopening the old barrooms under the new guise of liquor store "selling under constitutional limitations," The real tight Is for control of the legislature beoause the Goveinor cannot make or change the laws and can only try to enforce them. Ills only influence over legislation would be in the use of the veto power, but it is all important to get a strong and good man for Governor. The times distinctly demand one. In any event some counties will stand by pronlbitlon with its blind tigers and heavy jug trade by express. Other counties will vote for oounty dispensaries and the cities where the principal newspapers are published will have the light cu the Issue of estate Dispensary or County Disponsa ry with the ultimate purpose of having the coun?y dispensaries turned into licensed barrooms if the county dispensaries are abolished. Tne scheme is to restore t.h? u?ln _ ? ...w UM>U V* IIIJUU1 VU pil' vatc individuals ratner than lot it remain in trie hands of state officials. Those who o:amor for county dispensaries Instead of one State Dispensary must demonstrate how it Is easier to prevent corruption among the thirty or forty couuty boards than to stup it in one State Board. I have great faith in the good common sense of the people and do not believe they can be persuaded to destroy the State Dis pensary and leave each county to purchase and sell its own liquor. Yet Toe State and The News and Courier fthion nave always hated the Dispensary "Worse than the devil hates holy water" are advocating candidates who favor oounty dispensaries. The only possibly good reason that can be advanced on this line is that the prohibition oountles under the constitution receive a part of the profits which arise from the sale of liquor in the other counties. This is unjust as everyone must acknowledge, but it can be remedied very easily by having the State Dispensary make no profits other than a few thousand dollars above its runninnr * u ?1 *-* uiug oa^uoco) uuuh leaving mie counties and the towns to divide the protits between them. This oan be easily done and when we consider the expense of buying liquor in retail quantities and paying local freights on it instead of buying oarload lots and paying through freights the oounty dispensary cannot stand the comparison. But this is not the greatest objection. The leakage or stealage In bottling of liquor at each oounty dispensary woulu be immense and 1 know of no way that it could be prevented, nor do 1 know any by which it would be pos>ibie to prevent tbe whiskey being watered, bottles retiiled, relabeled ana >otier hcuemes of maklog money dishonestly, if the system were adopted, it is not possible to prevent it and I to not think any sensible man who considers the question will seriously contend that it is. Even If one half of the oountlee In the State should adopt the prohlbltlon-bllnd-tlger-jug trade program It would be better, more eoonomloal and there woull be less possibility of corruption and pe oulatlon In the purchase and hao lllutr of liquor In the other dispensary oountlee, If the buying, bottling and ship ptng should be done at one central depot, Instead of in each county. It must not be forgotten, beoause It was the understanding (nnd a bargain was made) during the flight In the leg lslature last winter against the State Dispensary, that the ultimate purpose is to have Charleston wholesale liquor dealers supply the county dispensaries as well as the jug trade by express In dry oountles; aud while this would be better than to have this liquor shipped In from North Carolina and Georgia, as it now is, because It would keep the money at home, I do not believe that the people of the State are now willing or will ever be willing to see the State Dispensary destroyed, with the inevitable result that liquor selling will gradually go back to the old system of private control. I would be glad to have Ohar| leston prosper, but it is not the loss of the liquor trade that has hurt I nharlpjihin ? n..vuvvu> vuuot uuiiiKs art) jo blame. The issue between private control and control by state officials must hin^e at last on the question of whether or not the people of South Carolina shall determine that we caunot tind honest men enough to carry on the dispensary system and devise laws to make those who are dishonest afraid. I say we oan. 1 do not believe that every man who handles whiskey must become a thief. 1 believe that the people only neod to see and know that the dlspenrary system can be reformed and cleansed of corruption to make them stand by it. 1 will proceed totflvo the plan which appears to me after a tfreat deal of thought and consideration of suitestious from very many sources to be the best. We will oeglu on the ooun ties. County Dispensers Bhould be elected in the Democratic prumry the same as othor oflloers. ThejCounty Hoard should be composed of .the Mayor of the town in which a dispensary is located, the Supervisor of the County, who is the business atfent of the county, and one man appointed by the Governor. The County Dispenser should be removable by the Governor for cause. The State Board of Control outfht to be elected by the legislature, but its duty should be confined to general direction and supervision of the business the same as the Peuiten nary ana Hospital Tor the Insane are run. It should not purchase any whiskey or anythiug else required In the business. Everything required, Including the whiskey, should be bought under annual contracts made as follows*. After the State Oommlssloner has advertised In the manner prescribed by law (and this ought to be very clear and speoltlc, leaving nothing to the discretion of anyone, and going fully Into details) the bids should be opened In public by three men selected just before the date fixed by the Governor and the oontraot made with the lowest bidder by the year for the supplies to be ordered out by the Commissioner as needed. These 1 three men are to serve only once and 1 annually there shall be three new men chosen to make the contracts. The bidders will not know who will make the awards and therefore cannot en ter Into collusion in advance and even should the Governor, which Is Inconceivable, be willing to select a board which would act corruptly, the specifications of the bidding made with minuteness and the publicity would prevent any graft. No whiskey or liquor should be purchased except from Government oonded wareuouses. In the case of wines and beer the brewers should alone furnish the first direct from the brewnrlAM. and t\h*? um?n * ?uv muitll ^uaumuy UI the other used could he hedged about in the advertisement ho ah to insure honesty and the purest and best artl cle. For the information of those who are not posted 1 will gay that the Government bonded < warehouses are under th* control of the United States Internal Revenue officials entirely and whiskey deposited in them comes directly from the still and tne owner Is not permitted to manipulate it or handle It in any way until the tax is paid and it is removed. We thus get a guarantee of absolute purity without a chemical analysis and such liquors are as much staple articles of commerce as corn, wheat or baoon. It is the blended and reotifled whiskeys that are adulterated and where the cheating comes in. The blending and mixing oould be done in the State Dispensary where there would be no Incentive to inorease profits by adulterations, besides the law would provide severe penalties for that kind of thing. The County Dispensers being elected by the people will be anxious to please the people as they will be beaten at the polls If they do not do their duty. The County Board chosen as indicated will be responsible to the people also with every incentive to , give a good administration. The i whiskey purchased in that way will be as pure and as good as can be obtained under any possible conuitlons and there is absolutely no way in which corruption oan oreep in, if there is the least effort on the part of the people and the Governor to prevent it. The trouble with the Dispensary now is that our Governors have ncg lected their duties and h<*ve not kept supervision over the workings of the I looal dispensers and the State Botrd. I Excuse may be found for tuis by saying the legislature put the Dispense | ry beyond the ^b^vernor's control. * i/ i ??? This It true la a way and It waa a very great mistake, yet the Governor's oath of office requires htm to "aee that the laws are executed la meroy." And with the power to appoint constables at his discretion and detectives also when neode 1 it cannot be denied that the demoralization and corruption which have been so much In evidence would have been prevented by the Governors using trusted agents to keep supervision over the Dispensary system and soe whether the law waa being carried out. 1 did this, but my successors seem to have thought it unnecessary or too much labor. 1 not only watched the dispensers, but 1 watohed the oonstaUes | too through a deteotlvo who reported to me alone. The necessity for the more rigid enforcement of all law makes the coming election for Governor lnportant. Things have been run too looeely and too little regard paid to cnforolng the law. 1 criticise no one, but simply give the people the faota as 1 see them and, of course, they alone can apply the remedy. We should elect the Governor who will do I this and do it fearlessly and zealously, but there iB still small opportunity for graft in the scheme outlined, provided the legislative committee whloh ( superintends the other State Institutions and the grand juries of the varl ous counties pay attention to tbelr duties. No government has ever been devised that would run Itself and every government is an index of the < intelligence, public spirit and patriotism of its people. If the people are ignorant and InditTerent and cease to watch and look after their affairs, the guveriimem, tney give themselves is inevitably bad and they can blame no one but themselves. The conditions In the dispensary now are directly traceable to the blundering and negleot of the legislature. That body placed the State Dispensary in the hands of thrre politicians, elected without consideration to titness, experience or character, threw no restrictions whatever around the administration, left the door wide open, limited the salary to 8400 and now we see the result. 1 have always said and believed it was designedly done to destroy it. Politics and not titnoss have most always controlled the legislative elections, but no amount of salary alone would cure the evil of which we complain. The original Board was composed i of the Govornor, Attorney General and the Comptroller General, tnree of our highest State otllolals elected by tne people, but the vital mistake was in not making strict rules and regula- < tlons for the purchase of whiskey, i The enemies of the Dispensary doolare that it is inherently vicious and that i it cannot be purliied. This cry Is in- * dloativo that those who thus contend ! practically confess that they have lost i all faith in the honesty of man or of I the ability of men to give themselves 1 just and honest government. 1 for cue do not believe that all of the hon- . est men are dead. The people are t disgusted and they have a right to be, I but the one orlme whloh they should t not forgive 1& the failure of the last < legislature to change the law so as to ] prevent any further Bteallng and to ( raatsira t.ho - ?* * " .uavuiu miu um^ouMiy nystcm IU ltB < original purpose, that of controlling whiskey and minimizing the evils inseparable from Its sale and use. The i enemies of the Dispensary were bent j t>n killing it and the combination of j political and other influences in the i House having failed in that, compelled the eleotlon of a lew Board because i they refused to ohange the law and < continued all of the old and proven i evils. It was the most glaring betray- ; al of the people's interests that I have ever known respectable white men to be guilty of, and while many of them are my filends, at least politically, 1 take the responsibility to say that every man who refused to put safeguards around the purchase of whlsaey and change the system of management in the last legislature ought to be left at homo. Snob men cannot be trusted. They put partisan advantage above puolic duty. Legislators are not the masters of the people. They are tuelr seivants and the people had not instructed tiiem to abolish the State Dispensary 'or there was no suoh issue when they were elected; and when they themselves were responsible or their predeOfiaHOrH W(>rn roiinr>nulKlo *" ..?.v iuu|>uuaiuio iui uui uurruptlon wiiich they bad reason to believe existed, It is incomprenensible to me how any man with the least idea of obligations to the people who eleotcd him could act as that legislature did. The people have a light to destroy the dispensary, but no mere representative of the people has a right to assume such a responsibility as that would have been without iiaving a campaign and making the Issue before the people and getting instruotlons from them. All 1 have ever asked Is to have all of the white people pass on the question and let the majority govern. 1 do not believe in permitting newspapers to dictate to a few scheming politicians and to trade < among themselves and settle the nnaat.lnn I' ? -* - ^uvovvu, 11 who peupie 01 a county want no liquor sold in it, let them < vote for legislators to say so and for the candidate for Governor who advooaten that.

Lanahan Says He Did Not Tell What Was Quoted on THE WITNESS STiND By Parker and Robertson In the I) is pennary Investigation About His Buy- j log Boykin. Says Those Uentiemea Misunderstood What He Said. Mr. Wm. II. Lyles, afepromlnent lawyer of Columbia, appeared before the dispensary Investigating committee while It was In session last week and made the following statement: "Just as I oame In on the train, a paper was handed me by William Lanahan with the request that I make the statement to the committee that they would be glad to have any of their matters Investigated shortly. That they had expeoted same to bo Investigated, but the subcommittee while In Haltimoro had not called upon them and thoy would l>e glad to mane any showing that was wanted." Mr. Lyon made the following ex* plan&tion why Liuahau & Sous were not investigated: "1 would like to explain why the subcommittee did not call on Lanahan & Sons. The list of creditors that wo had that had been furnished Senator Chrlstenson at Columbia had Lauahan & Sons down for 8(100. I Knew that *t>00 was uo Inducement to Lauahan, and It was reported to us that tie said he would prefer to lose that than submit to an investigation. Wo have heard since that time that his claims were somewhere between 410,000 and 812,000?that the statement furnished us was not correct. I telephoned Mr. Tatum this morning to send It up, and 1 presume ho will send it up some time this evening." Mr. R. 11. Welch, another lawyer, who was present, arose and made the following statement: ' 1 wish to Introduce the atll davit of Mr. Lauahan in the matter of the testimony of Lowls W. Parker and K. W. Robertson. 1 wish to Introduce it as a part of the record. 1 cannot produce Mr. Lahahan and this Is the best 1 can do. Atlldavlts have been accepted under similar circumstances before and 1 do not see how It can be refused." It will be remembered that Mr. Parker testified to Mr. Lanahau's enlire dissatisfaction with conditions at ihe State dispensary, as Lanahan had thousands of dollars Invested In South Jarollna. This was corroborated by Mr. E. W. Robertson, and Mr. W. A. Jlark test!tied to other conversations a like nature which he had had with Mr. Lanahau. Mr. Parser went more Into details and testllled that Mr. Lanahan wishlug to remedy the situation hai employed Mr. L. W. lioykin to represent him on the board, or at least It was testified that Mr. Lanatiau had io stated. Furthermore he had besome dissatisfied with Mr. Roykln's services aud had employed auother agent whose name lias never been made public. Now, In reply to this testimony, Mr. Welch, representing Mr. L. W. Roykin, presented the following utlldavlt from Mr. Lanahan: State of Maryland, (Jounty of Richland. Personally came before me S. J. Lanahan who, u^on oath, deposes and says that with reference to cue testimony of Mr. Lewis W. Parker before tne dispensary investigating committee atCoiumuia, S. C., on toed ah day of .1 linn 1 Uf ft ho mil'*" >V V, uu lua&oo UUC lUHUWiiifcf statements: Mr. L. W. Boykln was employed by the llrm of William L&nahau & Sou as a salesman, but tuis was montna prior to his election as a member of the board of direotors of the State dispensary; that Mr. IJoykln had severed his connection with said tirm as said salesman and otherwise about a year before hlssald election. While Mr. iioykln was la our employ as said salesman he was paid a salary, of course, but this salary ceased the moment he severed his connection with the tirm as salesman, lie has never been in our empluy since nor have I or any member of our tirm paid him one dollar or otherwise since ue severed his connection as above stated with our business. 1 never told Mr. Parker anything different from this. From what Mr. Parker has testified to be iui? tun oommittee tie has evidently either entirely misunderstood what I have said and meant or hit* recollection of what was said is absolutely erroneous. 1 never meant by anything that was said to convey the impression that while Mr. ttoykln was a member of the board he represented me or my tlrm or that we were paying him one cent.
