OwIdr to this agreement Mr. Otis, wno is opposing Mr. Ilall, was absent. The meeting went on quietly till dinner. A barbecue was served and whiskey is said to have been distributed freely by some parties, who, to all appearances, were preparing for a fuss. Tne first speaker in the af(cfAoon was Mr. Outs. When he tinisberr oneWill Blackwood, a magiKrate'a con- ( stable, who had, it is claimed, been 4 drinking, a- k-'.d him a purely personal | question, wh.ci brought on words. Blackwood then applied an oath to Mr > Otts, and his friends took it up and went between tiie two. Blackwood's friends rushed up and begun to make a fight. Mr. Oits was the coolest man in tne whole crowd and stood his ground . well. The whiskey that hud been dls r tributed got in its work, however, aad the orowa, or a large party of it, got in a fighting humor. Every man seem ed to want to tight soxeoedy it mat teied not who. Directly tilings got quieted down somewhat, and Mr. Otts mounted the wagon &ud made a statement that he Lad expected the row; that he expected It on Friday, but toe crowd got drunk too soou, and began ligntihg among themselves; that he had been warned before he left town, and after reaching the grounds one of his frlenda took hlai aside and told him that the crowd that Is lighting him?not Mr. JI all, but his enemies, who are following the campaign to give him trouble ?nad arranged to raise a row when ho got up to speak. lie furthermore said that Btaok vood was not the real one who was trying to make trouble for him, hut that ne was the mouthpieoe for another.

Another Ihvely frtciliinuago in Strenuous Cherok?o County. Another dispatch to The News and Courier from G.OTiiey Days the spirit of mars v<p.s lcise in Cherokee County on Saturday. The county campaign meeting broke up in a riot, and tnat was thought bad enough, but that was not all the excitement for in OjlT.iey. Saturday night auouttcn o'clock there was a report of a llgnt on the streets, und aa inveetigvtion showed that Miyor J. Q Little and Onlef of Police Tom L n 1< .art were tigbting. Soon Mr. Worth Li trie, a brother of the mayor, and Mr. Dever Little, a son, Joined in, as did ()dicers Cap Demons and Lloyd Autoll. The lighting was brisk for so re minutes. The wonder is that no snooting irons were not used. There were several knocked down in tide moiee, but none was seriously 1 urfc. After everything had quieted down Mayor Little stood in the middle of Limestone streot and made aa address to the bystanders, telllog them that the trouble was brought on by Chief Lockharc and the other two cilljers engaged in the difficulty neglecting their duty to electioneer for Sheriff Thorjj^s for re-election, and his havWe never hear somebody talking j p.bdhS belonging to the "cream of so ciety" but what we are reminded that cream rises to the top. Then we think of the old days when we "gugared-off" In the camp and spent a lot of time skimming off the skum that rose to the top of the boiling sap. ing to put another man, J. M. Hampton, on the police force to help them So their duty. It might be said here that Mayor Little and Sheriff Thomas are not on ;ood terms and two of the aldermen ire candidates, one for sheriff and one tor clerk of Court. Mayor Little took DOoasion to make a political address, taring that no ?tlicer should hold of* tlce too long, aud advising the people lo put out everv man holding cffloe in the Court House. Before saying that lie said that the polioemeu had no business engaging In politics. The correspondent says the occurrence of Saturday and Saturday night was the talk of Gaffney on Sunday. It Is the concensus of opinion that the 3hief, who is a nephew of the mayor, toted In self-defence and In the dlsoharge of his duty as did the other policemen who were acting as peace :ftloers. There Is no town the size of Ur*ffney with a more obliging set of polioe officers. SEVERAL ARRJKSfKD For Throwing It all road 8pik< h at an Exourslon Train. The Florenoe Times says the Augusta excursion train which parsed Orangeburg about two o'clock Tuesday morning reached Florenoe about live o'clock that morning. The Tlmo* says "tlilu excursion was not as bad as some of the past Augusta excursions for lighting and drinking yet there was some mischief done to the traiu by outside miscreants. "Directive 0.

Ceti8U8 Pepartment Piligently Gathering Statistics Which President Boosevelt Will Employ. One million divorces, at least, were granted by the courts of this country during the past twenty years. This Is an estimate bv the census bureau, and it is so startling that It probably 1 will result In further Important discussion of the question of enacting a uniform divorce law In the various States. President Roosevelt, who has dls cussed In his messages and other public utterances the general subject of legislation bearing upon marriage and dlvoroe and has expresed himself strongly In favor of a uniform divorce i law, directed seme time ago that the ( census bureau institute an inquiry , luto the subject of divorce No In vcsti^atiou into a sooial or economic ' question made in many years is re- ? warded as more important to the peo- ( pie of tho country personally than | this one, now just fairly bejcim by Director North and his corps of assls- 1 tauts. It is expected by the Fresi ' denttlmt the statistics tfaihered by 1 the census bureau, tOKether with the , legitimate deductions from them, will demonstrate conclusively the necessity of uniform divorce laws, and he ' expects to use the titfures to brln^ 1 ab-.ut- such a result. The question haB been considered by the President with the ablest law- 1 yers of the Seriate and House of Lie 1 pres^ntatlves. They have concluded practically that, at present, the Congress lacks the constitutional power to enact a divorce law which would be applicable In the States. The Presla?ut hopts, therefore, to create a sentiment in favor of uniform letflsla tlon on the subject try the Legislatures of the various States or to obtain from the people, through the Legislatures., approval of a constitutional amendment conferin^ upon the Con Kress authority to regulate by law the Keneral matter of marriage and divorce. The statistics to he collected and compiled by the census bureau will co*er the twenty-year per.od from 1887 to 190(5, Inclusive. A similar 1lv '.eiiKaUun was made in 188(3, coverinK a twenty year period, and the inures of the two periods are expected to prove valuable for Comparison. In I t h A irn&vi />/! / ?/ * ?? 1 - - i. ? gnu yoi iuu ul iwtlili.y J OATb j'.jsli ptc" oedlUK 1880, 484,083 applications for divoro* were mane to the courts and 328,710 of them subsequently were Krauted. Figures already in the hands of Director North, of the cen hus bureau, warrant the statement that, In the past twenty years, the applications for divorce atftfreKated nearly a million and a half while t.he divorce actually granted numbered more than a million. Of course, even this alarming total docs not Include all cases of the Infelicity of marriage, but only those which reached the oourts In spite of t.ho apprehen slon of the parties of public scandal. Tbe inquiry will be oonduoted alon^ such lines as will mac**, the resultant ll^urcs and deductions valuable In the preparation of laws for tbe reflation of marriage and divorce. An effort will be made to collect the statistics practically simultaneously, as In the case of the taking of the population of the country. Special agents will be appointed In all parts of country to examine the records of the divorce* courts. In the United States there are nearly 3 000 counties, all of which probably have records In their courts of divorce applications. All details concerning each case will be collected ? a 4 ? p. , 1 - a - j . ? i - ? auu b?uuiai*iii wiuu stucnous care. Particular reference will be made to the number of children affected by the divorce cases and now they were affected, a.s these facta, It la believed, will be potent In determining the ac tlon of the Legislatures in the passage of lawn. When the investigation shall have been concluded and the iigurea studied carefully with a view to presenting In concrete form the result of the inquiry, the President will transmit the report to the Congress, probably accompanied by a npeolal mesf?ag. In tbat utterance to his views on the subject of the action to be taken to correct what is regarded by sociologists a* one of the greatest evils of our time. Aged Couple SuioldcH. William M.

ITS A VERY SAD ONE. Mrs. Corey Knew Nothing of Her Hunband's Intentions to Desert Her Until He Told Her at a Dinner to Which He Had Invited Her. There has perhaps never been a life frith greater contrast on two sides md perhaps none more Bad in seme espects, than the lives of William Wills Corey, president of the United States Steel Corporation, and his wife, )r former wife, which culminated at Lteno, Nevada, on Monday, July 21), frhen Mrs. Corey was granted an ibsolute divorce from the millionaire lusband, who had tired of her, ann jlven the custody of her minor son. Mrs. Corey is a woman not only of ittraotlve appearance, but modest of manner and somewhat magnetic During the trial of her case, which was in no wise contested by Corey, snd absolutely devoid of any effort at defense, she was sad. Whm the. fact ~ ~ U-J I 1 QUUOUIIUUU IIHH NUU MifcU K*l UIMl what she a.ked?freedom from the man who wanted to be free of her? she cried. She stated that she had been married to Corey, a man then of far le*s r ill icnoe than now, in Pittsburg, on December 1, 1883, aud they 11 red happily nearly 2u years. Ills Indifference, with accumulation of wealth, developed and he tinally deserted her. Aftor several weeks of Inattention and then desertion, (Jorey took her to dinner, as he would nave taken any other womau acquaintance and calmly told her she would nave to i?o; that he was tired of her and would not live with her longer. He was emphatic; his mind was made up and he was not to be shaken. She presents a different picture. After sufforintf his Inattention and desertion, boeln^ him the llrst time for weeks at the dinner table in a restaurant, she bei^ed him to no riome with her and "talk it over." Indifferently he raised his hat as he put her in a cab and, turning, left her forever. That inoldent, according to Mrs. Corey's testimony, was on May 5, 11)05, and since that time she lias never seen him. Corey's manner of disposing of her was discussed with his attorneys, and the statement was made at the trial that there would be no question of alimony, since that had been arranged between Mrs. Corey and his attorney. Perhaps one of the most significant features of the trial, and one which sheds thought on what proceded it, la the evidence quoted from Mis* Addle Corey, hia bister. Asked by counsel if she thought her brother a tit person to have custody of young Allan Corey, she replied: "lid is not a proper person for his son to associate with. Ills associates and companions are not iir, companions for a you ok man of Allan's age. 1 don't think any N :w York man of wealth Is tit to have charge of a boy of his at e." The cool deliberation of William Eilis Corey in his determination to rid himself of the ties of matrimony is depicted In the evidence cf his little son, who said in court, referring to a conversation with his father on the subject of the divorce. "'He said that my mother was a good wo man and that my place was at her side. He told me I was too young to understand the rea.->ous for fchu separation." Another feature of the case was tue connection of certain pboto graphs with Core/'slife in New York, one of which was Miss Oilman, an ac tress, another or M ins Oilman reclining oq a sofa In her room, showing Corey's llfeslzd photograph ou an easel nearby. Whatever may have been behind the life curtain, or may not have been, deductions are being drawn fur and wide, and the case is bolrg point ed to as an Incident 01 too much money and the desire for guy life and tiring of the ties of homo and wife. Core/ uas never uttered, so fir as is known, a single word relative to his wife which could he construed other than an extolling her good points, in a sense, his son's evidence pictures that: "She Is a good woman." Since the granting of the divorce the story of how Mrs. Corey llrar, found out that she was to be cast cir has come to light. It was not used in the trial of the case. After some juonl/ti f\t nnulanK / lA?nti 1*1.. ? 1 ii wnu v? vrtiis/ ra&nu 111 n who to dine with him at a fashionable restaurant, and she eagerly acc?pteci the invitation. The meal was appar ently enjoyed by both of them, and Mrs. Corey especially seemed buoyant and bright. The various courses had been served and the dinner all but ended. Over the cups of ootToe the two sat oaattlng when Corey sudder Life Is not measured by length o days. Metbufelab lived nearly i thousand years dut bo aooompltshec very little. The eoelest tning in th6 world t( make is a good resolution. ly leaned across the table, looked his wife Fquarely In the face, and said. "This Is to be our last dinner. 1 am going to leave you tonight. 1 am tired of you and I want you to get a divorce from ae." Mrs Corey was entirely unprepared I for the Information. Though she was startled, she maintained her selfcontrol, hut the only reply she could or did make, was: "You don't L uow what you are saying." Corey then became hurt. "Yes 1 do, 1 have fully made up my mind, and nothing can change it. 1 will not live with you any longer and 1 want you to got a divoroe. 1 will give you everything to enable you to live luxuriously?everything you need to be comfortable." Mtb. Corey could contain herself no longer, and, showing agitation, said. "We will discuss the matter when we get home, Will. Come " Corey Imo a cab summoned and left the restaurant together. He went to the curbing with her, assisted her to the cab, but did not get In. He politely lifted his hat, half smiling, and said: "This Is our good bye. And re member, 1 will not be responsible for your debts until you are willing to make this separation tin&l by a divorce decree. Good-bye." And, without waiting to hear more from her, he turned and walked awny. There Is no evidence to that etTcct, bu?

The Augusta Herald says an accident so horrible that It beggers all description happened Thursday afternoon at 1 .'tO o'c 1 >ok at the Clearwater Hleachery, In which Jack J. Widener, the 14 year-old son of Mr. W. II. Wldener, met a horrible death from 'scald ng. At the bloachery thero are a numb jr of large kettles known as j kears with a capacity of thousands of j yards of cloth. Into these kettles the | cloth runs in a methodical manner and gees through a chemical process, by having steam and chemicals turned on It through Iron pipes, at stated In tervals. To prevent the cloth from piling up and tilling the kettles before the capacity bad been reached, a boy Is kept in each kettle to keep the c.oth y.wy-i'/ wumm uu u mecaanicai apparatus especially prepared for It. When the l>oy has taxed the capacity of the kettle he comes out and the caustic la turned on. For a Ion# while the little son of Mr. W. II. Wldener has tilled this position very creditably. Day after day he has taken his place in tho various kettles and worked faithfully at his work, never dreaming of any danger. Friday afternoon at 4:.'{(J the boy was in one of the kettles working assiduously, possibly in anticipation of the hour when the whistles of the blcachery would release him from his work. Little did the boy know that as' the hands of the clock were moving toward the time when the chemical process should be turned on that he was to ho the victim of a horrible accident. The kettle next to the one In which J*c?c Wldener was working was tilled with cloth, and Jerry Middleton, the man whose butineas It was to do this work, with tne Intention of turning the hot steam Into it, made a mistake and sent the hissing caustic Into tne kettle where the boy was working. For four minutes tho boy was In the kettle and when William Vernon, an employe, dragged him out of the awful place, otmervers say that his body from his face down was baked almost to a crisp.

A CLOSE CALL. A (iirl Preacher Makes Her Escape from Cannibals. WARSHIP SAVED HER. The Young Missionary Saw Eleven Sailors Killed and Eaten. She Tells Her Thrilllug Story of Adventure at an Illinois Camp Meeting. Miss Houlah \j >gan Tuthlll, a pretty woman, thirty years of age, a Methodist missionary whose ancestors wero missionaries before her, startled the big Methodist camp meeting on the I).>s Plainos Ulver, near Chicago, 111., by telling the story of how she saw eleven persons killed and devnorml h? ? cannibals. Miss Tuth111 Is the only woman In the world who has lived to tell such a tale. Sho was taken to the Caroline Islands when she was six years of ago and bewail her missionary work when she was seveteen. In luou her parents left the Carolines and went to Sidney. Australia. Sue remalnod 011 the island for soveral months afterwar i. Then she took passage on the steamer Aragul for Sidney. A terrltlc storm swept the vessel near the Island of New Ireland, two hundred miles nortneast of Australia. Miss Tuthill was swept overboard. She was an expert s wimmer and was picked up by some Christian Malays. They wero subsequently shipwrecked on a sandbar on which a schooner was going to pieces. This bar was two miles olT the cannibal Isle. Hho said: "As the tide began to rlso to free us, the horror began. One of our lookouts gave an exclamation of terror Wo looked and there on the shore we saw a horde of savages coming down the beach?fully 200 of them?In full panoply, armed with shields and spears and heavy clubs with which they wero accustomed to dash out their enemies' brains. "They stole down upon the schooner and then attacked It wltn a rush. The sailors ma le n) resistance. They had concealed themselves In the hope of escaping) hut one by one, men In all, they were found, draped out and killed with a blow on the back of the head with a ureal w&r club. "Then they dragged the bodies ashore and prepared for the feast. They boat 011 tomtoms a.-d strange drums. Toe victims wero laid In a circle on the ground while the savages brought brushwood and great logs for the tiro. "Then a strange thing came. They seemed actually to make a sort of religious ceremony out of this horrible atfair. They beat their tomtoms and pulled their hair and uttered tneir weired, gutter*! cries. "The rest Is too horrible, how thej cooked their human food, how they 1 danced about their victims, how at last that company tore the smoking human tiesh to pieces with their nails and teeth In a mad orgy. The Chief ate llrst, and after dano ing ho allowtd ills followers to partake. Then, at last, when It seemed to me that 1 sursly Could stand It no longer, the savages formed In line and started to march away. The tide had ll iwed In and we were free. "Frantic to escape, the frightened sailors who had rescued me, made haste to null away. Hut now w? were seen. The savages broke tbelr line and rushed to the oeach. A score or more of them entered a canoe and pursued us. We had a lead of several hundred fathoms, but their canoe, driven by a score of savage arms, fairly leaped through the water.
