COOK GETS BACK
Return* lo His Native Country From Eu~
. rope (id Last Thursday.
JUST AS CAM AS EVER
His Presence Alxmrri Causes a dispute
on the Ship.?The Passenger*
? Were IMvided Into Two Camps On j
\ the Questiou of His Reception.?
What He Hays.
Dr. ItVflflrtrlfk A Cook, arrived In
Nevy York on Thursday on the steam- j
ship George Washington as calmly ;
as if there had never l>ecn a North
Pole controversy. lie looked well
and said little; in fact a typewritten 1
interview handed reporters em- 1
braced all d bo had to say witn j
the exception or the necessity forinallties
of conversation thrnst upon him
by Interviewers
Of far more dramatic interest was
a headed controversy among the
steamship passengers concerning the
Impression ne had made upon them.
The doctor still asserts that he he-j
lieves lie was at the pole.
Or. On ok in his statement referred j
to the fact that ho was in the United J
Slates less than a month ago.
"T arrived in Quebec on October I
2$, went to Troy, N. Y., then to'
Ncwburgh and Poughkeepsie," said
he. "1 was in the two last named
cities about three weeks, writing, re-j
VJHlllg <i ltd uurreci nig pruuiis ui in;
story. I registered under an assumed
name because I was very busy? |
too busy to receive my personal
friends or newspaper men. No oth- ;
or precautions were taken to keep
my presence concealed."
Dr. f'aad said he didn't know what
his plans for the future will be; ]
that lie had no plans whatever for '
go!uk on the lecture platform.
"1 have come back solely for the'
purpose of rehjibllilalbig myself and
my family by setting matters r Ik lit
with m.v countrymen." he declared.l
The argument among the Doorge '
Washington's passengers arose when
the doctor's sympathizers aboard
wished it understood that he was received
with no shadow of diecriniina-|
tion by rho other passengers. His
enemies wished it made clear that he
had been shunned. I'lie minute the1
men who had gone down the harbor
on the revenue cutter stepped into
the saloon, representatives of both,
sides descended on them. Persons

publicity -is they would the plague. j
fairly button holed the reporters in
their eagerness to present their case
first.
While the dispute in the ladies' saloon
irioile ', more temperate minded
passengers elsewhere found time to
tell without heat about the doctor's
trip. lie came aboard at It re men, j
they said, wearing a Hi!) heard, but
had it shaved off the next day. He
wna an unostentatious passenger,
playing cards of an evening with aj
few friends and neither seeking nor
avoiding attention. j
Once when the toasts were going j
around before bedtime and it came'
his turn to name a health, he was (
quick to propose the "Stars and !
Stripes," a toast that none could re- I
fuse.
Another time when a passenger
who had not remarked to him before !
asked brusquely: "Are you Dr. i
I
L. Oook?" He answered, "My name is
Cook."
"Are you the Dr. Cook who went
to the North Pole?" persisted the
questioner.
"I have been there," asserted the
doctor gracely.
The typewritten interview with the i
doctor did not satisfy the reporters.
They plied him with questions, but
almost all of them he parried.
"You have written this, doctor: j
'After mature thought, I confess that
I do not. know absolutely whether lj
reached the polo or not.' Do you bei
llevo that you did?"
^ "I still believe it."
"Does your uncertainty at all extend
to your ascent of Mt. MsKin- j
toy?"
imol in rue least. i siian nave a
reply to in.ike to Prof. Horschel C.
Parker's latest attack on my ascent j
of Mount Mc Kin ley in a few days? j
probably next Monday.
"Did you still believe in your rec- 1
ords when you sent them to the Uni-|
versity of Copenhagen?"
"Oh, certainly."
y' "Then why did you call Capt. Au- |
g-rsi W. Loos to aid you in compli- J
ing t.hern?"
"That will be answered in the
next, installment."
"Yet you accept the verdict 01
university?"
"Yes, I think we have accepted
that." j
"And you believe that Peary got to
the pole?"
"I have never questioned it."
From the steamer Dr. Cook went
direct to the Waldorf-Astoria, where
he stayed before, on his welcome
from Copenhagen.

The men whom we most admire,
are the men who influence us most. I
It is therefore all Important that our 1
, homage be given to men who in;
character and ability rank high ;
among their fellows.
i FAKIRS ARE CAUGHT
CLAIMS TO 1*K AMK1UOAX CHRISTIANS
I ltOM TUItKIOY.
Were Soliciting I'uuds to Build
Chui'cltON ami Orphanages Over in
Greece or Bulgaria.
Several times In the last few years
able-bodied men, claiming to be
American Christians, have solicited
funds from the people of thle city to
build churches in place of those destroyed
by the Turks, or orphanages
to accomodate the children of Christians
murdered by the Turks. They
generally traveled In pairs dressed in
the garb of ministers of the gospel,
and rained considerable money. As
will ho soon by the articles that follows
below thai those follows are fakirs.
ami deserve 110 help or pity: J
The discovery that four Turks who
! passed through Atlanta last week j
1 hogging for money with which to
build an orphanage at Ninevah,
were frauds, has led to the further
discovery that other fakirs of this,
sort are operating in various parts!
of the country. Three have been arrested
in Macon 011 warrants sworn
out by Joe Logan, of the Associated
Charities, two of whom have been
carried to Atlanta.
These three, however, are said j
| not. to he the four men who begged!
| In Atlanta. Very probably, though,
| all are members of the same band.!
Skillful impostors of their sort'
working in harmony and in all likeli-i
hood directed by one leader, are ca**- '
irying on their humbuggery in a number
of places.
Several times before fakirs of this
I description have passed through At.-|
lanta, begging for some charitable
j endeavor and taking away with them
considerable sums. Such swindling
schemes have, indeed at times, j
reached national extent.
Two of the men arrested at Macon
give their names as Deacon Mic-j
gael Joseph and Archdeacon Job an I
Bejan, both members of the Chaldean
church. The third man is Titos.
An toin.
Olace** Jordan, one of the policeman
at Macon who arrested the three!
Armenians, say lie believes that!
somewhere they have committed a
mora serious crime. He thinks this
because Hie moment the men vore!
rfrosted though they had been charg-{
ed wilh ho ?io!ent crime, they began
to protest in their broken English !
that they had not killed "the man."
They seemed lo know of some one
having been murdered and each to he
anxious to convince the officers that
he was innocent of the crime.
The two men who have been |
brought to Atlanta admit that they
are cheats and that they have no intention
of building an orphanage in
Mesopotamia.
The fraud that the band np Armenians
is perpetrating was brought
to light through a story published in
The Journal. The four of thorn who
were in Atlanta were seen by a re porter
as they were begging from office
to ollice in the post office
house building. They told a guileless
tale of how they had tramped
10,000 mile# from a place they nam^
l. n i .. n ^ 1
t'U US XVJ1JUIH U'JUJIIW, 111 O.vriil, II OW
they had crossed Rnrope, traversed
Great Britlan and been In practically
every state in the United States.
They had collected $2,500 and needed
only $2,500 more. They Rave
their names as Rev. Showell Chirkinah
and Rev. Marcus George, and
Deacous George Purgeow and Nathanlal
Daniel. Among their credentials
was a letter of Indorsement
from Pdsliop Nelson.
Prof. Isaac M. Yonan, a native
Persian, who is a professor of theology
in Urma college, saw the s'ory
and recognized the men as frauds.
Professor Yonan was visiting Capt.
R. M. Clayton. From Uish.op Nelson j
he learned that a collection for thej
four men was to he taken the next.
Sunday at St. Phillip's cathedral.
The rector was warned and an effort
was made to arrest the Turks. He-1
coming alarmed, however, they slipped
out of Vt.lanta. The police at all
cities in Georgia and other southern
cities were notified of the fakirs and j
the two now in jail in Atlanta and |
the third, who will soon be on his J
way there, were arrested in Macon, j
A touch'no- story of how nearly
200 Christian children have been left !
orphans by t.ho Turkish-American j
war is told by these men. They have
with them credentials from Turkish j
officials and from ecclesiastics
and laymen of every sort. Most of i
these appear to he genuine. So skillful
have the crooks been that they!
have fooled nearly every o* ..
The four who begged in Atlanta
must, have secured several hundred
dollars. They were here for four or
five days and during that time can-!
vnssert the city thoroughly.
't was hard to deny them at least
a u 'lap. In order not to spend any j
of Mi cash that was given for the I
orphan a,. 1 U Ninevah, they did all of
their traveling on foot and lived on
bread and water. Their talk was al- '
ways of the poor orphans and of the'
Joys of the Christian religion. The
edification io he derived from five
miuutes of their conversation was I
wonderful.
They were all little dried up men. j
They talked In low voices with downcast
eyes, the general manner the
personification of meekness; but
their tongues were rery nimble and

for the preceding year.
The Pastour department continues
to justify its operation. At no time
since our beginning have we gone
more than a week without having
patients under treatment. At one period
during the spring of 1910, there
were 3 8 patients under treatment ac
the same time. Since August 1 5tli,

Vote Soiling in Ohio.
j
The revelation now being made in
Adams County, Ohio, in reference to |
vote buying and vote selling, indicates
how t he Republican party with
the immense corruption fund supplied
it by the trusts manage.! to per-j
potra'e its power. A more appalling!
picture of corruption amony the voters
than Adams County actually presents
as the rt suit of the Crand .!ury's
action has never been drawn of
any com in unit; on this continent.
Already indictments have been
found against ever 1,000 voters for
selling t heir vot es and Lite to: a! niim' Or
may run t?? 3,000. .Judge A. /'.
Hlair, who stti.de.' the investigation.
iii a charge to the (Irand Jury said
that the purchasable vote of cue
co :nty was o\:v one-third of the lo
tal vo'e and in the last thirty years
there had hardW been an honest
election. Lis-.s of voters and the
prices for \vh!"h each could be
bought, were found in four-fifths of
the poling-placr. of the county and
were used by both parties.
From the testimony before the
court it seems that tlit? election authorities
openly participated in the
purchase and sale of votes. Farmers
have been known publicly to auction
off their votes to the highest bidder
without causing comment, let alone
arrest. Conditions prevailing in Adams
County are said to exist in parts
of other counties in Ohio. Ti is
the county districts that are especially
under suspi'-ion, and the same
circumstance is generally to be observed?where
there is the least organized
vigilance and publicity in
elections, fraud and corruption are
most likely to flourish.
These Ohio farmers who confess
to selling their vote are well-to-do,
substantial citizens, who seem to
think it no harm to turn an honest
penny bv selling votes to those who
will pay the most for them. Such
men have no true conception of what
citizenship really moans, and they
should not he allowed to vote. We
would bo sorry for Iho follow who attempted
to buy the votes of our farmery
on election day. He would be
taught a lesson bo would not soon
forget. Hut it is different in Ohio.
Pound to be I'seful.
Just as dirt has been diflned as
"matter in the wrong place," so
weeds may he considered as vegetation
for which no use lias been
found, f.et some value for it he discovered
and it is no lon er r< girded
as a noxious weed hut as a plant serviceable
to mankind. Gradually, as
scientific research reveals the properties
of vegetation, much that was
considered a nuisance is now
cultivated for its medicinal or commercial
value. Perhaps the latest
discovery in that line, and one that
promises to be of great importance,
is the fact that the weed known as
Sudd whic^i blocks the upper Nile for
hundreds of miles is now being convert!
d into a cheap and satisfactory
fuel hv a process invented by a German.
If its use becomes general it
will mean n twofold blossintr In t'm.
It will clear navigation in the river
and provide people with foul. Probably
the time will come when a use
will be found for all kinds of vegetation
at present regnrded as both a
waste and a nuisance, and every such
discovery will minister to the needs
of man and help solvo the problem of
living.
VERY SAD CASE
?
A Young Husband K'lied Wbile Aslo* p
by His Young Insans Wife*
STRUCK HIM WITH AXE
While Mentally Unbalanced Mrs. I>.
B. Hamilton Heals Fatal Blow to
Hoi* Husband, K. A. Hamilton, at
Tlieir Home Four Miles From the
City of Laurens.
A special dispatch from Laurens
to The News and Courier tells of an
awful tragedy that took place Tom
miles from that city on Wednesday
night. As he peacefully slept K. A.
Hamilton, one of the county's leading
fanners was killed in his room
by his wife, Mrs. Delia Drown Hamilton,
at their home four miles southeast
of the city.
The deed was committed by Mrs.
Hamilton while in a lit of mental iberration,
front which she has periodically
suffered for several years, having
during the past year spent some
time at a sanitarium. in her deadly
'cork Mrs. Hamilton used a small
hand axe, and apparently one terrific
blow crushed her sleeping husband's
head, causing instant death. With
'he exception of their infant child no
other persons were in the room.
Mrs. Hamilton arose about 1!
o'clock and must have gone outside,
w here she procured an axe. She returned
to the room and sirr k her
sh oping husband a fearful blow in
the head with the dull end of the
axe, knocking a deep hole in his
skull and splattering blood over t tiewalls.
Another large wound was
in t t>o neck :iv if she bad eht
him with the sharp end of the axe.
!!is entire head was mutilated.
Death was immediate.
Taking; her youngest child, about
six months old, she tin n went to one
of the nearby negro cabins and told
what she nnd done. The alarm was
given after Mrs. Hamilton had taken

cook's house. At 1 o'clock the sheriff
was noHfled. Meanwhile neighbors
and relatives hurried to the scene
and found Mrs. Hamilton in a terrible
state. One o'" 'in negroes went,
for he lp, and soon Mr. Herly Hlake!
lv, her brother-in-law, arrived and
found Mrs. Hamilton lying, across a
j bed. When he approached she
sprang up and struggled violently to
get away from him.
in trying to make her escape from
the premises she is said to have
dragged her brother-in-law several
hundred feet before becoming exhausted,
after which she calmed aim

expressing sorrow and again saying
it was all lor the best. SiibsetiueiUly
Mrs. Hamilton was placed in a room
and locked up until early Thursday
morning, when she was brought to
the county jail, and there kept until
2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, when
she was carried to the State Hospital
for the Insane at Columbia.
This sad occurence is the one topic
of conversation on the streets and
everywhere universal sorrow is expressed
at the pathetic case. .Mr.
Hamilton was in the city only Wednesday,
and was in a very bou.vant
frame of mind. The past season had
been a very successful one with him,
lie having sold at one time, alone,
over seventy-live bales of cotton and
out of the year's crop had gathered
between two and three hundred
bales. Ho was prosperous and among
tho most substantial citizens of the

his many sterling qualities.
There were no domestic troubles
in the family and the deed was the
outcome of actions resulting from an
unbalanced mind. Mrs. Hamilton
has been in a feeble state of mind
for some time and herself realized it,
for recently she had requested that
all weapons and dangerous instruments
be removed from her reach to
prevent her getting; hold of them in
case the feared lit of Insanity should
come. However, as it was not
thought that her condition warranted
such steps, no precautions were
taken.
The case is peculiarly sad, surrounded
as thov w?-re with n largo
and happy family and hundreds of
acres of productive farming land. J
They had six little children, the oldest
of whim is abou; thirteen years
of age and the youngest about sir
months old. While ample means

mother and father.
Mr. Hamilton was about 35 years
of a?e. His wife was a Miss Brown,
daughter of Mr Willi tni Brown, of
this county. Both families are prominent
in the comity. At an early hour
Coroner Hairston went to the Hamilton
home and hold the inquest: tho
verdict rendered by the jury being
according to the facts as given above.
Thursday afternoon, the slain man's
rem a i n? were tal<en to the Union
Baptist Church, near his old home,
in Waterloo township for interment.
