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

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

Prof. J. E. Swearingen, of Cedar
Springs Institute announced his candidacy.
The office of railroad commissioner

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."

In I90G the total vote in the first

there was much interest in the race
for governor and attorney general
as well as for the legislatures and

state and county offices this year, the
total vote may go to 100,000. At any
rate, to win the candidate should

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

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

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

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.

Much More i'rotit.
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 proportion of profit paid to (
the counties and towns varied at different
time, hut the total profit of' ]
ih?' State dispensary, even when there i
were dispensaries in forty-one counties
did not reach one million dollars

.According to - the report made j,v
Dispensary Auditor West to (lovcrticr
Ansel at the close of the fiscal year
tho total .amount of sales by the
county dispensaries during the nine
and a fraction months they were
operated in IPO7 was $2,09 1,6G15.41*..
on which the net profit declared was
$095,0 5 0.01 .
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.
