I BAILEY OUSTED
I Briiul Tcua Lnki Bald Oa Sculc
NO LONGER THE LEADER
P Bailey's Following Among (he Democrats
in the Senate Have All Del
nt*rtiul iiim. .His Vote in the Dor
imor Case "Was the Beginning of
His Trouble.
A dispatch from Washington says
the star of Joseph Weldon Bailey as
the intellectual leader of the Senate
democracy is waning.
No longer is Mr. Bailey permitted
+o speak unchallenged for his democratic
colleagues. His assumption of
the ofiice of spokesman is being repudiated
daily, his statements are
criticised, and even denied, and his
opinions are flouted.
The Texan has been placed in such
a position by the verbal assaults of
his colleagues that hereafter he will
be regarded merely as one of th senators
from the Lone Star State, ant*
as expressing his own views rather
than those of the combied democracy
n the senate.
His support has dwindled to two
senators?Simmons of North Carolina,
and Thornton of Louisiana. To
these three men has been derisely applied
the appellation of "The Three
Musketers," with Bailey as Atlios,
Simmons as Aramis, and Thornton as
Porthos.
It had been apparent for some time
that the fall of t.Mr. B'ailey was Impending.
Equipped w'th a superb
mentality, a gifted orator, and able to
handle himself effetively in debate,
there were few senators, until the
present congress, disposed to cross
swords with him. His adroitness in
emerging unscathed from an unfortunate
position he had adopted, his
quickness in turning verbal somersaults
and his use of irony and pathos,
of sarcasm and appeal have
been a source of admiration to the
senate and the galleries and of confusion
to those who interrupted him.
The Texan never has been troubled
by the need of being consistent and
his course in the senate has been
marked by astonishing about faces
which in the case of a man of weaker
mentality would have precipitated his
political ruin at once.
The first serious blow to Mr. Bailey's
assumption of leadership suffered
was in connection with the Bonnier
case last winter when only ten
Democrats voted with him to retain
the Illinois boss in the senate.
The Texan was unable to hold even
this following on March 4, when at
the instance of Senator Owen of Oklahoma,
the senate voted on the proposition
to approve the constitutions of
Arizona and New Mexico.
Only two Democrats voted with
Jlailey, and the Texan became so
piqued that he resigned his office of
senator, but upon reflections with
drew his resignation a tew hours later.
Senator Stone of Missouri always
has been a thorn in the side of Bailey
and never lias hesitated to question
the Texan's democracy. The new
democratic senators, who assumed
their seats at the beginning of the
present extra session, have followed
tho tactics of Mr. Stone, with the reult
that Mr. Bailey is being subjected
to some rough handling in debate
He early announced his opposition to
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
hut has been able to obtain only two
recruits?Simmons asu Thornton.
The Texan has found himself assailed
by Reed of Missouri, Hitchcock
of Nebraska, and others and recently
found his democracy attacked
by John Sharp Williams of Mississippi.
Mr. Williams has not the smooth
oratorical flow of Bailey, but be is
unquestionably one of the best rough
and ready debaters in either branch
o congress. While a member of the
house be had ample opportunity for
rectice, and as minority leader, made
a record which proved of value to the
democracy.
Mr. Williams and Mr. Bailey differ
on the tariff and Mr Williams, who
is a deep student, and a man of wide
reading is undoubtedly tho better informed
on this question than is the
Texan. Moreover no is a goou lawyer
and has a lot of nerve.
The results of the bouts up to date
have been favorable to the Mississippi
an and the anti-Bailey democrats,
who have long been looking for some
one able to cope with the Texan, are
wearing broad smiles of satisfaction.
From now on it may be expected
that the daily sessions of the senate
will be enlivened by frequent tilts
between Mr. Williams and Mr. BaTley.
The men opposed to the latter
make no secret of their purpose to
expose his democracy and to make it
clear to the country that he is not
their representative and that if he^
claims to be he is making a false representation

MARS GETS A FALL
AVIATOR PROBABLY FATALLY
HURT AT ERIK, PA.
The Poutors Hold Out Little Hope
For the Recovery of the Well
Known Airman.
At Erie, Pa., "I3ud" Mars, well
known American aviator, was probably
fatally injured here shortly after
5 o'clock this afternoon when ho lost
control of his air machine during a
flight and crashed from a height of
several hundred feet to the ground.
The heavy biplane dropped on top
of him. His injures are of such a nature,
it is said, that there is practically
no hope for his recovery. The
aviator's wife witnessed the accident
and her condition is serious, due to
the shock.
Mars was in (he air for the second
time when the accident occurred.
Several thousand spectators were
watching him. He circled the field a
number of times at a height of several
hundred feet. Suddenly the machine
made a dip downward and Mars
made an attempt to regain control of
the machine.
It was a futile attempt, however,
and an instant later, the biplane
struck the ground. The machine
was completely wrecked and Mars lay
under it. He was covered with blood
and at first it was believed he was
dead. He was carried to an improvised
field hospital. ,
The serious nature of Mars' injuries
was evident and he was rushed to
a hospital. His physiccians issued a
statement saying that his chest was
tained concussion of the brain and
badly injured and that he had sussuffered
internal injuries, while he is
also bruised from head to foot
The aviation meet there was given
under the auspices of a local newspaper.
Mars started the second
fli?ht a few minutes before 5 o'clock,
i in bad not been in the air long,
when, for some reason, he started to
descend. The machine same downward
with terrific velocity.
" The^amazed spectators stood still
for a moment. There was a scream
when the aviator's wife rushed towards
the wrecked machine. Before
she reached her husband's side, however,
she was overcome with grief
and was carried from the field.
A later dispatch says that the hurts
of the aviator are not as serious as
was at first supposed, and that he
will recover in about ten days.
MURDERED AND ROBBED.

KILLED BY AUTO FANATIC.
Lady Shot to 1 tenth While Biding
With Her Husband.
A dispatch from Richmond, Va.,
says bloodhounds, creid on by their
trainers on the county constabulary,
are searching Middlothian woods
aiding the police sheriff's posses in
hunting for the nKan who late Wednesday
shot and killed Mrs. Harry
C. Reattie, Jr., while riding with her

Three Itlown to Atoms.
Fragments of human flesh give evidence
that three men were killed
Monday when 5,000 pounds of nitroglycerine
exploded, destroying the
plant of the Dupont Powder Compay,
15 miles south of Denver. The
building rose in a cloud of black
smoke, with a circle of flame at its

CAUSE AWFUL DEATHS
WHAT THE BITE OP A PUPPY DID
FOR ITS OWNER.
Stricken With Hydrophobia and After
Suffering Terribly, Au Augusta
Man Passes Away.
The IIer?ald says P. iM. Selby, the
Augusta man who was tsricken with
hydrophobia, died at the pest inoust.
at 8:10 o'clock Tuesday night after
suffering the most intense agony.
The story of the unfortunate man's
bite ,by a puppy and of the tern bit
suffering that he has endurea wu&
told in the Herald Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Selby, although bitten by the
same dog several days before her
husband was, has not yet developed
any symptoms of hydrophobia and it
is possible that she was bitten by the
dog before it had really developed
rabies. However, the state board of
Health oflice has been communicated
wit/h by the local authorities and a
treatment of anti-toxin will be administered
with hope of saving Mrs.
Selby's life.
Solby was kept in a straight
jacket all the afternoon at the pest
house land while he moaned and
groaned and seemed to be in terrible
agony he was not conscious at
any time. Although I)r. Ilinlon Baker,
the hpysician in charge at the
pest house punctured Selby several
times with morphine, the opiate din
not seem to have any effect and the
man die'l soon after S o'clock, his
convulsions occurred much more
frequently just before death.
The physicians of Augusta are very
much interested in the oase as instances
of hydrophobia among human
beings are very rare. Mrs. Selby will
lie detained at the pest house and her
signs of the appearance of the dreadful
disease.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Each Liquor Sale is Separate Offence
Says Court.
Another decision bearing on the
present whiskey law has been given
by Associate Justice Hydrick in the
case of the State vs. W. P. Kelly.
Sumter county, who was convicted on
two charges of violating the whiskey
law, receiving an alternate sentence
on the first violation and a sentence
of one year for the second violation,
-- SJ__1 u.. it. _ I
as provuieu me auu
The State says the sentence of the
Sumter county court is affirmed. The
case first was submitted to the supreme
court at the November term in
1010, but was dismissed because the
attorneys for Kelly failed to file argument.
A satisactory explanation
aving been made, the case was again
filed
W. P. Kelly was tried on June 3 0,
1010, for selling whiskey on October
15, 1000, and was tried on July 1,
1010, for selling whiskey on June 23,
1010. The defendant was given an
alternate sentence in the first case
and was given one years imprisonment
on the second charge. This offense
was treated as the second subsequent
offense under the act of
1 000.
"In this State," says the supreme
court, "each sale of whiskey is a separate
and distinct offense for which
the guilty party may he convicted and
punished."

Probable Cause of Death in Newberry
County.
The sudden death of four negroes,
three of them in one family and- in

were about grown and two others
were smaller. The four had
been blackberry picking in the afternoon
and that night, or early the

TURNED
HIM LOOSE
SOLICITOR WELLS NOT HEARD
IN THE MATTER.
Telegram Announcing Intention to
Pardon Surprised Even Friends of
Governor Hiea.se.
The Florence Dally Times puo- ]
lishes the following relative to the
pardon of R. L. Bazin, of that county,
who was convicted of the killing J
of Lofton Poston, at Blossom School
'biouse, In lower Florence County, 011
the night of January 2 8, 1910, and
was sentenced last November to
three years Imprisonment for manslaughter.
The following remarkable telegram
was received at Florence Wednesday
by the solicitor, who showed
it to several who were interested In
the case, and one of them made a
copy of it, from which copy the
Times obtained a copy. It is needless
to state that the telegram was
a surprise even to those who knew
Governor Blease:
Columbia, July 18.?Hon. W. H.
Wells, Florence, S. C.: Your wire
Mr. Ragsdale hei;te. Will wait your
arrival if you desire, to come. Am
frank to say, however, that pardon
will be granted. Answer. (Singed)
Cole L. Blease, Governor.
This remarkable telegram related
to the pardon of young Bazin, who
was sendenced at a recent Court for
killing Boston. In behalf of Bazin a
petition has been circulated and a
number of men in the county signed
it, being assured in their own minds
and conscience that Bazin was suffering
wrongly for a killing wiilon
had not been intended, but accidental,
to a great extent, and done in
the defense of his person from a
man who had pushed the fight on
him.
There were, however, a nuniDer
who thohght differently, and tliey
started a counter petition, and the
Times is told that the signers were
the majority of the people in the
neighborhood where the killing occurred.
Neither petition has heen
seen by the Times man, though asked
t.o sign both of them. A number
of signatures to the counter petition
were secured Wednesday, and the
Solicitor was urged to tiake it to
tlie Governor and combat the'ptatenients
of the 'attorneys for Bazin,
who were doing energetic and Faithful
work for their client, fully convinced
that they were right in their
efforts to prevent him being punished.
It seems that in the matter there
is a great difference of opinion as to
the evidence in the case, and there
seems to have been ia great deal of
family feeling involved, and much
beclouds the evidence, so that it is
hard to assure ones self just what
is right in the matter. In the trial
Messrs. Uagsdale and Whiteley, the
attorneys for the defence, did not
put up 'any witnesses, but relied on
the position that the State had not
made out their case, and they contend
that the charge of the trial
Judge, Ernest Gary, was practically
an instruction for'a verdict of guilty.
The case is one of the most notable
in the county. The two men became
involved in a row at a schoo.
entertainment in their section, and,
meeting outside the school house, a
blow was followed by a stab with a
knife, and in a few minutes Boston
was dead. Both men belonged to
well-known and influential families.
Solicitor Wells did not go to Go
lumbia with tho petition after receiving
the telegram, nor did anyone
go. Even 'the Governor's supporters
were astonished at his position.
A telegram was received Thursday
(announcing the pardon of ftazin
by the Governor in. accordance with
the telegram of Wednesday.

According to figures received in

in India have reached the enormous
total of 650,690 for the half of the

taken such ia hold on that, country
that its ravages are little heard ot

Thou must ,be true thyself,

It needs the overflow of heart
To give the lips full speech.

Shall be a fruitful seed;
