ARABIAN NIGHTS TALE
Beautiful Young Greek Widow Is
Being Held at Kills Island, New
York CHy, With the Friend Who
/ Rescued ller From Her Slavery in
Damascus.
The immigration authorities ar
Ncw York are in an awkward position
as to the course to be pursued in
the case of a Greek girl of- unusual
hcuuty now a prisoner 011 101 lis 1sl?n<l.
With her is a man who says
he is her protector and guardian,
nothing more. The girl is Marie
Mopila.
According to the story of her cous/
in, Mrs. Haflfi Hebella. wife of a
merchant, who lives at No. 178 At i-ntic

'n which h!io was held a prisoner
i.ino years. The man with her, Antonio
Jahara, a fellow countryman
*.nd long time admirer of the girl,
helped her to escape from the harem.
Marie Ilopila and Jahara admitted
to the immigration authorities that
they are not married, hut they contended
that under the unusual conditions
of the girl's flight her companion
from motives of friendship
could do nothing else than escort her
who had been the slave of a Pasha
safely to America.
The two arrived on the American
!'ner New York on Sunday. Ellis
Irinnd is now investigating the case.
Mrs. Hebella, the Brooklyn cousin of
the girl, in a letter to Commissioner
WPliams set forth the romance of
the Creek girl.
iMnrie Hopila, the letter says,
was married according to the custom
1 her people when thirteen years
lrl Shortly after her marriage her
husband died. The girl widow,
Kkiir-ii at needlework, then supportAd
herself by sowing. She was sitting
in front of the place where she
lived in Damascus busy with her
ecdle one day as a Pasha passed
that way.
The Pasha was captivated by the
beauty of the girl widow. First he
attempted to woo her openly, hut
Marie did not like the Pasha, although
he was rich and powerful.
She repulsed him, repelled all his
advances and ran away from him.
Put the Pasha was crafty. Determined
not to he baffled in his pursuit
of the young beauty, he employed
a woman to seek out Marie, gain
ber confidence and invite this girl to
W'c- I) ainn to ho omnlnvnd rm .1 tippHIp
woman. Having the child widow
within his houne, tho Pasha took her
forcibly and put her in his harem.
Marie Hopila had a faithful friend
' In Jalmra, who had known her at
the time of her marriage. He sough*
her after her disappearance, kept up
if ,?!fi search for nine years, and at
)hst was informed by one of his serrants
that, she was an inmate of the
|Hp Fasha's harem.
Jahara disguised himself as a peddler.

Pasha to patronize him further,

She is a communicant of the

and in a month, guarded by

exhibition, which opened Tuesday
morning, will bo the first corn show
lield in the South and will mark ini
era in the progress of this section,
it is expected that several thousand
farmers will attend. The exposition
will be educational as well as entertaining.
The finest collection of corn
over gathered together in the South
will be on exhibition. Approximately
$10,000 iii prize* will be given for
the best corn exhibited. Quality and
not quantity will be considered. In
connection with the exposition there
is a corn show, participated in by
the members of the boys' corn clubs.
This show will be under the direction
of the United States farm demonstration
work.
i The exposition will be educational
in its nature, as well as entertaining.
Several well known corn experts are
present to deliver addresses on seed
selection, corn judging and fertilization.
The judging of corn will be
esneoinllv stressed.
The exposition is the culmination
of tiie movement for production of
corn in the South. The exposition
fmphasi7.es the fact that there lias
; 1 een much corn produced in the
South and that the quality has been
Improved. The federal census for
this year shows the corn crop of
the South to lie 160,000,000 bushels
greater than last year.
A yield of approximately 50,000,00
0 bushels has been secured in
South Carolina. This means that
corn will bo shipped from the State
next year. The railroad men say
that shipment of corn from the West
to South Carolina lias already fallen
off materially.
Many counties of this State will
b?? represented by the hoys' corn
clubs. There will he several hundred
exhibits, which insures the success of
the exposition. It is the purpose of
those interested in the exposition to
make the corn show to the South
Just what the national corn show has
been to the West.
Prizes have been arranged for each
county in South Carolina for the conp
rr??sinri:?I riist riots i n Smith Pnrn
Una, and for the three zones each in
Vorth Carolina and Georgia. Sweeprtakes
will he offered for the b^st
10 ears of yellow corn, prolic white
corn, single ear variety white corn,
j single ear and bushel lots from all
States. All these exhibits will come
etogether in grand sweepstakes and
grand champion sineepstake classes.
In connection with the exposition
there will be a cooking school conducted
by students of Winthrop college.
Corn products will be prepar'
ed and served. The exposition will
run to Friday, Inclusive. The rates
tr Columbia have been very much reduced
by the railroads and it is hoped
that many farmers and others will
visit the exposition.

TIM.MAX WILL NOT ItHTIItH.
Senator Will Hold Togo Until He
(iocs to His Grave.
i "Retire!" exclaimed Senator Till[
r.ian, repeating an inquiry. "I shall
. nol retire until they bury me; I have
, no idea of quitting the eanie," said
. Senator Tillman in Washington on
Friday.
) Tho South Carolina Senator, who
, arrived in Washington Friday, was
in his committee room at the Capl*
, tol and appeared to he as vigorous
as he was before he was stricken
. down by severe illness during the
last session of Congress.
Mr. Tillman expects to remain
four or five days only, however, lie
. will return to his home this week,
hut counts upon coming hack to
; Washington early, in January, when,
, he says, tho real business of the session
will begin. He said he felt in
good condition for work, hut would
rot apply himself so assiduously as
formerly. Mrs. Tillman, emphasized
the last remark by declaring that she
, would keep him as quiet as possible.
"Yes, ' said the Senator, "she is
running the airship and 1 guess she
will he able to keep it pretty close to
< artli."
Senator Tillman attributes his restoration
to health to the fact that
s:nro he got out of bed he has been
giving his latent ion to the building of
i a big barn on his plantation. He

Many Horses Ikirn.
About twenty horses were burned
to death in a stable lire at Albemarle,

BRYAN WARNS PARTY
nE SEES NO PARTY UPBUILDING
BY NEW LEADERS.
Asserts tlmt Class of Demoerats
Elected in November Are Representatives
of "Special Interests."
In the Commoner W. J. Ilryan crlt- ,
"cises the New York World for its
I raise of the class of leaders elected
in November, saying:
"The bred of leaders whom men
of intelligence can follow is, according
to The World, that character
of men whose environment has
in many cases made them believe,
and in some cases caused them to
pretend to believe, that oniy sane, i
progressie and cautious, according
to the vintage of 1010, and the only
safe and sane, according to the vintage
of 1904, government is that
dominated by the special interests.
"The New York World way to
complete rehabilitation of the Democratic
party is indeed simple. The
trail is indeed plainly blazed. It i3
the way the Democratic party looked
v hen in 1802 it marched throu gh a
slaughter-house to a bloody grave,
as Henry Watterson put it. And the
trail is the trail of 1901 plainly
plazed by the New York World and
other champions of a safe and sane
Democrat.
"What is the thing the New York
World calls Bryan Socialism from!
which in The World's view the party
has been emanciapated?
"Democrats will better understand
the meaning of The World and
Its followers if they use the latest
Democratic national platform as a
calcium light in which to read the
purpose of these organizers."
In turn Mr. Bryan asks The
World what changes it would make
In the last national platform; would
It repeal the plank concerning trusts,
change the railroad planks, oppose
nopular election of Senators, favor
phip subsidy, and he concludes, "the
fault is that when The World pleads
lor a sane, progressive and cautious
Democrat it means just as it meant
in 1004, a Democrat that holds the
world of promise to the people's ear
rnly to break it to their hope, a
Democrat that represents special interests
rather than public interests,
a Democracy that spells ruin to the
Democratic party even as it spells!
privilege to Wall street." *

Mary Harris Held in Crnnectioo With the
Laogford Murder.
A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
The Young Woman In Taken to Columhiu
and Put in tlie Penitentiary,
Along With the Negro Who
She Says Did the Killing in ller
Presence.
Mary Harris, tho 20-year-old
Hampton County girl, who, since
shortly after J. K. Langford's body
M <ia i (Mi n u i ucduaj I11MI II 111^ vi n
lias been held in the Hampton county
jail, either as a witness or charged
with having some connection with
l is murder, was carried to the pen- :
ilentiary Sunday night.
The State says why the girl has
been brought to the penitentiary
could not be learned Sunday night. ,
'1 he officer who brought her "did not
want to talk to newspapers" and
nobody else seemed to know the
leason why, and pp.chance the officer
from Hampton didn't know.
The girl, when seen at the union
station, seemed far from terrible.
A white sweater, an apron and a
hat with red ribbons on it, were the
most striking parts of her apparel. J
and she was trotting along behind
the man who bad her in charge, apparently
perfectly willing to follow
his lead.
Information from Hampton is that
there is no rumor of violence there,
and the frail slip of a girl does not 1
seem to one able to break such a
sturdy structure as the Hampton jail
surely Is. Richey Williams, the ne-|
pro Mary Harris accuses of committing
the murder, is lodged at the
penitentiary, where he was carried
Fun da" n 1 rrh t
The case involving the white girl
and the negro who are now behind
the same stern walls at the State
1
penitentiary is a most mysterious t
one. Tuesday morning J. It. Langford,
a prosperous white farmer, left
his home near Drnnson to go to
Hopeep, a small station on the Seahoard
Air Line Railway, where he
was setting up a saw mill. He never
reached the mill. He never returned
homo alive.
His hands at the mill awaited him
?n vain, and when ho did not put
in appearance, they went to his home
to find out what they should do.
Night came on and as Mr. Langford i
did not return home his wife he- j
c ame alarmed and a searching party |
was organized. After some hours of.
search his horse and buggy were j
found beside the road, the horse be- j
big securely tied. A short distance j
from the roadside Jim Langford
was found dead, his body lying on J
h's buggy robe. |

learned that Mary Harris, an illit- i
erate whito girl, 20 years of age,
who lived near where Mr. Rangford's
body was found, knew something i
about his death.
ITpon being questioned closely, the.
girl admitted, but unwillingly, that |
she was with Mr. Langford in the.
woods at the time he was killed. She
said that Richev Williams, a negro I
I
man. bad crept up behind Mr. Langford
and hit him over the head with .
r. stick. 11 e never moved or spoke
after the blow was delivered.
The negro was arrested and to pro\cnt
the possibility of any attempted
lynching, was spirited away to Barnwell,
and from there carried to Co!
imbia and put. in the penitentiary
for safe keeping. Tlnre was nothing
brought out against him except j
the statement made by the girl and i

he had seen Mr. Langford that morn- !
