CAMPAIGN NOW OPEN There An* Five ('atididnlos for tho I'nited States Senate, Two For Governor, Thi-ee for Siiporintondont of Fducnt ion, Five for Itailroad Commissioner, and Only One for Kuril of I lie Oilier State Olliees. The political campaign in this State may no said to be fairly open "mow, and soon it will be in full blast i?-oin the mountain to the sea. The bounty Conventions meet on Monday, day 4, and the State Convention will hoot on May L'n. Candidates are being brought out by their friends, and soon they will be all out. The candidates for Tailed States Senator are: Messrs. (.). II. .Martin, .John Gary Evans, CJeorge Johnstone, 10. I). Smith and I). C. Hoy ward. From expressions in the county press, it appears to be the opinion that the race is between Ex-Gov. Evans and ExGov. Hey ward, but Mr. Martin seems to object, to the promulgation of this opinion, and doubtless the other candidates do also, but they do not express themselves as does Mr. Martin. Some Past History. In 19 02, when Messrs. Evans and .lohnstone were also candidates for the senate, the vote in the first primary stood: William Elliott, 13,658. John Gary Evans, 17,893. ,1. J. Ilemphlll, 1 3,261. I). S. Henderson, 13,771. Geo. Johnstone, 13,558. A. C. Latimer, 22,971. Total 95,1 10. The second primary was between Evans and Latimer, and in the second election Mr. Evans received 3 0,37 1 votes and Mr. Latimer 53,890. Mr. Latimer being elected by a majority of 17,519, oyer Mr. Evans. Mr. Evans had been defeated for the senate by John L. MeLaurin in 1 897 and again bv Joseph II Earle in 1890. Iii (ho year 1 902, Capt. I ley ward made his entry into politics and the v vote in the lirst primary resulted a* fol lows: I). C. Hoyward, 30.551. M. F. Ansel. ,17,085. W. .1. Talhert, 18,218. J. H. Tillman, 16.398. W. H. Tinunorman, 0,5 15. Total, 96,3 07. The second race was between I ley ward and Talhert. and the vote re suited: Ueyward, 50,830; Talhert 4 0,4 94. Capt. I-leyward being elect od by a majority of 10,330. in 190 Gov. Hoyward was re-elected withou opposlt ion. The year 1 902, also saw the poli tical debut of Hon. (). B. Martin, win in that year was lirst a candidate fo the office of state superintendent o education against Hon. John .1. Mc Mahan, receiving 48,850 votes aguins 45,891 for Mr. McMahan, there be ing only two contestants. Since thei Mr. Martin has not had oppositioi for this office, being re-elected ir 1904 and 1900. The Gubernatorial Knee. The withdrawal of Mr. Featherstone from the race for governoi leaves the Hon. C. L. Blease, senatoi from Newberry, as the only candidate against Gov. Ansel. Mr. Blease was always a stalwart state dispensary supporter and since that institution's abolition he lias come out on an extended local option platform. Gov, Ansel on the other hand announced his platfoAiii this year to he restricted loeiU^.dpition, favoring a law making the entire state prohibition with the right to counties to exempt themselves by majority vote and sell Whiskey through county dispensaries Irt 1900, when he was elected governor, Mr. Ansel favored the present county option system, and in 1002 when he was defeated, he favored the state dispensary as "the best solu tion of the liquor question." Before that time he had been regarded, as i prohibitionist. Mr. Ansel, while i man of positive personal convicitons lias always been a close student o ....1 Ul.. |MJ|mij<II ov ii < 111 MI 11 .mi III? platforms indicate the trend of pub lie opinion in this state fairly wel during the last few years. That th< prohibltioists will be content to liav( such a law enacted as Mr. Ansel now advocates seems evident from Mr Featherstone's withdrawal. Other State Others. Mr. Martin not being a candidate for re-election tho way is open fot a new man in the office of State Superintendent of Education. Count} Superintendent of Education E. C. Elmore, of Spartanburg, was the first to announce and he has made a preliminary campaign. County Superintendent S. R. Molllchamp, of Orangeburg, was next to announce and be has also done much work. Recently Prof. J. E. Swearingen, of Cedar Springs Institute announced his candidacy. The office of railroad commissioner Is always contested for. Commissioner Caughman's term expires and ho Is a candidate for re-election. So far it is known that he will have opposition from Mr. J. A. Summersett, of ColumMa, Major Fishburne, of f A BRUTAL MURDER DIDN'T 1NTKND TO TO KILL ANY 1WKTICILAR IMOKSON. Hoped Ills Victim Would He Wealthy American or Knglish Tourist, Who llo Could Rob. The shnperd. Joseph Michaud. who murdered Robert Mun/.iger. a young Swiss Alpinist, on the Col do lialme I last August, has boon sentenced to life imprisonment at Martigny, Switzerland. The crime was perhaps the tuost remarkable ever committed in the Alps. According to Midland's confesssion, which was made with great callousness, he lay in wait on the Col de lialme for days, intending to murder the first unaccompanied tourist who ramo along. Ho hoped his victim would he a rich (englishman or American, and Ills intention was to leave Switzerland with tlie proceeds of the rob| hery and to come to America, where | lie hoped to make his fortune. Midland explained that he had thought this out carefully while attending to his flock, and had concluded that he would remain a shepherd to the end of his days unless lie could make a coup by murdering and robbing a wealthy tourist. "Many lOnglishmen passed," mid Midland in his confession, "but they were all accompanied by relatives or , friends." Finally Munzlgcr appeared. He intended crossing the Col do 11aline and descending to Chamonix, whence he meant attempting an ascent of Mont Blanc. When near the summit of the Col de 'hilire Midland attacked him with a hunting knife and slabbed him to death. Midland robbed the bodv, stripped it of clothes, and then ouricd it under some rocks. He forgo1:, howc to remove the traces of the crime, and guides who searched the precipices of the Col de Ilalnie for a week finally discovered the evidences of a struggle, which led to Munzlgor's no-.ly being disintered. Midland aroused suspicion ?n a neighboring village by displaying a watch which afterward proved to he Munziger's. When the shepherd was arrested lie was wearing the clothe, of the murdered man. He showed great unconcern and laughed and ; joked with the gendarmes. llis booty amounted to a about $r> and Midland's only regret was that he had killed a Swjss instead of a wealthy foreigner. "1 was too has ty," he complained to the judge daring his trial, "hut I had heon waiting so long that I had become impatient." WILD ELEPHANT XI 1SANCE. Iliiuiiistan Planters Complain of Dam' age Done by I'ncliydorms. t At Calcutta, India, the Doors Plan tors' Association has appealed to the > government for help in ridding the r tlie colintry of wild elephants, whose f pranks are becoming intolerable. - Though no actual 'vogues" are ret ported or loss of life, crops are said . to he trampled on, fences torn down, x roofs pulled off, and many roads ren, derod impassable by the patroling of x those mischievous pachyderms. The most serious matter, however, is interruption of railway trulltc, for the . brutes exhibit a queer predilection . for wandering on the line, which is a narrow gauge, and therefore ron. ders the trains specially liable to de. railment. should they meet an ohsta cle when running at night or round ( curves in the day time.

However, the campaign has just started; and the election is yet founr months off, hut the entries for state offices close in June. In I90G the total vote in the first primary ran to about 97,000 and there was much interest in the race for governor and attorney general as well as for the legislatures and county offices. With a warm tight for state and county offices this year, the total vote may go to 100,000. At any rate, to win the candidate should make sure of at least fifty thousand votes RAISE THE DEAD. I Machine That Restores Life When the Vital Spark SEEMS ALMOST GONE. The Moat Kemnrkuhlc Invention Fills Inert 1,lings With Oxygen and Thus Xetilrali/.os All Poisons?A llubhit and a Dog Pronounced Dead Leap from the Table After I'sc of tin* ltespirator on Them. It was announced some time ago that Pro feasor (Jeorge Poe, of Norfolk. Va., li<1 (1 invented an "artificial respirator niachine that would raiss llie dead. Thcio has just been completed at Norfolk i>y Professor Poe and several in<|tiiring scientists ;i ser-' ies of amazing successful experiment with t lie little eont i ivance which mechanically puis oxygen, the breath of life, into inert lungs. Those who witnessed the tests are| llrinly convinced that tiiousaiuls of j lives lnsiv li<? w ??/i i-?- "i - 1 i ?? i/.? i.iiv mass heart," which is what Poo's machine pract icn 11 \ is. II will l>e especially valuable in cases of suspended animation caused by drowning, hv gas asphyxiation in mines, and by coma resultant upon typhoid rover and other diseases. Professor Poo, by letting tbo contrivance force upon him inhalation nu exhalation of oxygen, was enabled to stop breathing for ten minutes. Animals, declared dead beyond all doubt by the visiting physicians, were revived in a few minutes and were able to scamper out of the operating room. Practically, though not literally, of course, the artificial respiration machine brought the dead to life and the experts say it will work equally well on human beings. Professor Poo's machine is built as near as possible along the lines of the human heart. It is about eighteen inches in height, with two cylinders correspondng to the ventricles and auricles of the heart?and inlet and outlet valves. Double tubes enter the larynx and nostrils of the patient. Roughly, the contrivance resembles a bicycle pump. While one set of tubes draws off the poisonous tluids and gases from the lungs, the wi m:i mii mi i :i:s III lilt" IllO glVlUg oxygen. Tho first experiment was upon "Socrates," a pet rabbit on the Pr?e farm. It. was given two grains of morphine, enought. to kill a man. Then immediately four ounces of ether wore adminlsterel. The physicians pronounced the rabbit noun, after all ordinary restoratives failed. Tho machine was then applied and within throe minutes the ofTeots of the poison and anesthetic were drawn off, and Socrates jumpel fr.nn the table and hopped away. A large dog was then killed and brmght. bai k to life again within five minutes.. The doctors present realized then that many of the evil and after effects of anesthesia could be doueaway with by the machine. And there dawned upon them another side of i'.s value, which had rather a humorous aspect. Intoxication, it was found, could be cured in a few minutes This experiment was actually made. Tho machine was applied to a hilariously drunken man, drew off the poisonous alcoholic fumes and he straightened out. in three minutes. Since then, it hits been said. Professor Poe has been approached with a proposition to manufacture pocket respirators for this purpose. Infant asphysia, that dread accompaniment of birth, which stifles many a life before it has fairly started to exist, may he wiped out by the respirator. Dr. J. P. Jackson and Professor Poe, with it minature machine, siived the life of a baby at C !..?,? ......I, 'PI -I-'? -"J i .i-i i\rn i itini nn i\. I lit' 111 <M 111 IIU 11 Mi the breathing for the child until it was able to strike out for itself. Throughout the Virginia country folks regard Professor Poo as a modern miracle-worker. Despite his persistent declarations that his invention is merely an aid to Ife after it has lied, the country people call him the "raiser of the dead " Many persons have written to Poe asking him- to try and restore life to relatives who have been dead for weeks, months and even ye ars. He is engaged now in manufacturing several respirators which will be tested in the leading hospitals of the country. H101 ItS OF OAltltlOTSON.

During tho quarter ending March 31 the county dispensaries sold $790,904.01 worth ol" whiskey in 3 4 counties, of which one has sin e gone dry. On this business an average protlt of 3 9 per cent, was made, the total profit being $368,94 1.98, This is at the rate of over a million dollars a year profit. According to the statement recently prepared by Comptroller (Jeneral Jones the state dispensary during its thirteen years of business paid into the state treasury for all purposes the sum of $ I ,f? 1 1 07.r?7.

The business for a full year, or 12 months, runs easily in excess of three million dollars, which was the high water mark for the state dispensary, while the profit of the county dispensary system for twelve months runs iu excess of one million dollars, which the state dispensary never did j attain, though its founder predicted it. would. Though there are now dispensaries in only twenty-four counties tho prolit from the county dispensary system is proportionately so much greater that, from the state dispensary, and it is distributed between the county and | towns, that as a revenue producer 11ho county dispensary is going to prove more popular than the old system, and for that reason, If for no other, It is more difficult to vote it out than it was to close the county dispensaries under the so-called llrice Act under the state dispensary regime, when prejudices and antagonism to the state dispensary had something to do with the large prohibition vote cast in several counties of the state.
