I GIVEN THE SEATS t; ! *? BARNWELL DELEGATION FROM CHARLESTON SEATED GRACE FACTION OUSTED Th? Credentials Committee Hear* luid Decides an Important Mat tor, Incidentally Straightening Out an Important Oonteot from the City of Charleston. Thirty-eix of a possible forty-two members of tho credentials committofl r\f th? fitnla n/nnftprntlc Pnnvfin. tlon, in session Wednesday in Colum- { bia, voted to seat the delegation from 1 Charleston, headed by the Hon. Joseph W. Barnwell, and none voted to Beat what became known as the Kinkier delegation, that one headed by JYlajor Daniel L. Sinkler. Two members of the committee voted to seat neither delegation and four members did not vote. After hearing testimony and argn- ! ments for two hours, the credentials : committee refused to go into exocu tive session or to even debate among themselves the merits of the con- ! testing claims, but Immediately call- ; ed for a vote by roll-call, with the result that the connnlttee'B reoom- i mendation to the Convention is that the delegation from Charleston head- ! ed by the Hon. Joseph YY'. Barnwell, together with the various ofTlcers elected by the Convention presided over by Mr. Barnwell, are the legally elected delegates and officers, and that the "Barnwell" delegates be seated as members of the State Democratic Convention. This recommendation was adopted unanimously by the Convention and the Barnwell delegation was seated. The vote on the recommendation to seat one or the other of the Charleston delegations was as follows: Those voting to seat the Barnwell delegation: W. P. Greene, Abbeville; George L. Toole, Aiken; M. L. Honham, Anderson; W. L. Riley, Bamberg; W. A. All, Barnwell; R R. Legare, Beaufort; R. G. Causey, Berkeley; W. 8. Hall, Cherokee; J. Lyles Glenn, Chester; J. C. Rivers, Chesterfield; O. C.

T. D. Lancaster, Spartanburg; Richard D. Lee, Sumter; L. J. Browning, Union; LeRoy Lee, Williamsburg. j Those voting that neither dolocatioii be seated were: B. Frank Kelley of Lee, and C. E. Spencer of York. Those not voting at all were: 11. C. Paulling, Calhoun; E. F. Hammond, Jasper; John M. Cannon, Laurens, 1 and A. H. Hawkins, of Newberry. The credentials committee, constituted by a member of each uncontested delegation, named by that delegation, took up the contest from Charleston County at three o'clock and at live o'clock the vote was taken, the Convention proper taking a recess twice in order to give time for the arguments by representatives of each side. Consequently, the greater I part of the day's session was consumed by the Charleston contest. It Wfts tho absorbing feature of the day's session, and tho climax of the whole proceedings came just a few minutes beforo the vote was taken, When Mr. M. Rutledgo Rivers, attorney for tho Barnwell delegation, road a letter from Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, assuring him of his support ! In the present Convention and denouncing the tactics of the opposing faction In Charleston. Appoal had been made by Mayor Grace, In his argument beforo the committee, to tho attitude of .Senator Tillman as against Mr. George Von Kolnitz, a tnomber of tho present Barnwell faction, conveyed In a letter dated July, 1902. Reserving Senator Tillman's letter to Sheriff (Martin, Qf Charleston, written a few days after tho recent County ' Convention. Mr. Rivers introduced It at what was regarded by all keen obsorvers as the psychological moment, and its reading called forth prolonged cheers from both the galleries and members of the Convention who were present In the hall at the time, and It may be stated that the Hall of the House of Representatives was crowded. Observen of contests of various kinds pronounced the conduct of the case at this particular point a master stroke on the part of Mr. Rivers, and one of the very neatest of climaxes to any argument. The letter read by Mr. Rivers, in reply to statements that had been made with reference I to the attitude of Senator Tillman, was read only because of the use of the name of Senator Tillman. Mr. Msrtia was averse to the ase of the '' '' THEY MADE RICH HAUL MASKED BANDITS HOLD UP AND HOD EXPRESS TRAIN. Said to Have Cotton As Much as Two Hundred Thousand Dollars from tho Company's Safe. A rich haul, variously estimated at from $35,000 to $zou,000, was made ny two masked bandits, who early Wednesday morning held up the Queen and Crescent New York Limited truln No. 2, near Oklahoma, a flag station eight miles south of Hattiesburg, 'Miss., and blew open tho safe of tho Southern Express car. hJxpross company omciaiH ueny that the sum obtained aggregated anything like tho latter figure, but declined to make any estimate of the loss. The bandits, who are belloved to be the pair who held up the Mobile and Ohio train, at Corinth, Miss., in February, made their escape and are still at large. When Sheriff Bennett, of Perry County, reached the scene of the hold up with bloodhounds about day light, the trail of the robbers was taken up by the dogs. This led them to tho junction of the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad and a tap line road, where the trail was lost. It is believed tho men boarded a freight train at this junction. Four men are reported to have been seen leaving tho freight train when it arrived at ITattiesburg a few hours after the holdup, but the authorities have been unable to locate the suspected quartette. The hold-up of the train was affected in a true wild Western manner, but notwithstanding a generous flourishing of weapons, not a short was fired. The passengers were not molested. When the train was passing the flag station, Okahola, the two masked bandits climbed over the tender, and with drawn revolvers, called out to engineer Maher and his fireman, "Obey orders." The engineer Immediately throw on his brakes, saying, "I'll stop right now." "No," said one of the bandits, "pull on around, the curve and stop when I tell you to stop." After the train had turned the curve above Okahola, the engineer was given the command to Btop and complied very promptly. ! With guns pointed at their heads, the engineer and fireman were then marched back to the baggage car and the former was ordered to call the express messenger. When Messenger D. A. Gray, of Chattanooga, stepped to the door of his car he looked nto the muzzle of a pistol and did not hesitate to obey the orders to get down. FIST FIGHT IN COURT. Lawyers "Scrap" During Trial of Alleged Embezzler. Attorneys engaged in a fist fight in Federal Court at Abingdon, Va., Monday afternoon during argument In the case of Walter I). Sutherland, former cashier of the First National Bank, of Clintwood, Va., on trial for embezzlement and absconding. United States District Attorney Barnes Gillespie became so incensed at a remark by Attorney Holladay .Sutherland, counsel for the defense, that he sprang toward him and dealt him a blow in tho forehead with his fist. Sutherland, who is a relative of the prisoner, is said to have condemned the district attorney's method of examining witnesses as unfair and this is believed to have led to the assault. Judge McDowell Imposed fines. LAST IIOPB IS CiONB. (Joy. Foss Refuses to Rnterfere With Death Sentence* Clarence V. T. Rlcheson's last hope of escaping the death chair l next week for the murder of Avis : Linnell, of Hymella, expired Thursday night, when Governor Fobs, at Boston announced that he would not refer Rlcheson's petition for communication of sentence to tho executive council. The statement from the Governor followed closely the filing of tho reports of the special insanity commission, which declared tho condemned man sane, although subject to fits of hysterical insanity. The commissisiou found that Richeson was sane at tho time of the murder and that he is sane at present. ? ? ?

Congressman Witherspoon, of Mississippi, Declares that Congressman Underwood Has I'roved Disloyal to the South by Voting to Have Her Klections Supervised by Coverament. The Washington correspondent ot The State says that Congressman Oscar Underwood, in voting against the Barlett amendment to the constitutional amendment for the popular election of senators, offered In the house Monday, which practically nullifies the Brlstow amendment placed on the original measure In the senate, repudiated every claim that he might have had for support from Southerners on sectional grounds in Ills race for the presidential nomination, was the statement of Congressman Samuel A. Witherspoon of Mississippi Monday afternoon. Until Monday Congressman Witherspoon has been a staunch supporter of Mr. Underwood for the presidential nomination. The Mississippi congressman declared that a representative of the people who voted on a public measure not on the principle he saw involved, but merely for political expediency could never have his supI.. n f nn ftila put L 111 il ii&ill 1U1 rtLIJ v_/11 UllO ground, he said, he had eliminated Speaker Clark after the MIssourian's vote for the Sherwood pension bill, although at the beginning of the campaign he had been disposed to support Mr. Clark. "With Clark eliminated as a man whom the Democratic party could with Justice or wisdom make their nominee, and whom the American people would vote for, if nominated, I gave my wholehearted support to Oscar Underwood," said Mr. Withorspoon, who It might be said in passing has never held any political office except as member of congress for two terms. \ "But to-day Underwood turned his back on every Southern tradition and voted for a measure which strikes at the very heart of white supremacy in tho South. A Southern of long residence, he knows the dangers that once assailed free government in the South because of suffrage power that was put into tho hands of the negro. He knows how the negro worked tremendous evil in Southern politics as well as any man in congress. He knows as well as any man in congress how these evils are once more made possible bv the Bristow amendment to the constitutional amendment for' the popular election of senators, which places the power for the supervision and direction of Southern govern ment. "And yet he voted for this Bristow amendment by voting against the Bartlett amendment which repudi atos it. Ho deliberately turned his bark on the claims of the South for protection against n^gro suffrage evils of the past. Underwood's strongest plea for support in the only States i*n which he has made a fight for delegates has been "the South for a Southerner.' This sectional plea has been exploited more widely than any other by his friends and managers. "Thinking himself sure of practically all the strength he hoped to get in the South, he deliberately repudiated this claim for Southern support, and voted as he did purely in a repugnant attempt to gain support in the North, lie was playing politics and gave no thought to principal or love for the South. His only thought was to get votes in tho North, whore as yet he has no votes. From the standpoint of disregard of principal and subservience to political expediency alone, this vote is in the same class with Clark's pension vote. It was worse than Clark's pension vote in that Clark has never made any pica for strength in the south as separate from tho North." 'Mr. Witherspoon said that by this elimination, tho only candidates remaining whom ho could with selfrespect vote for are Ilarnion and 1 Wilson. Iletween these two, ho said that he could only choose Gov. Wilson of New Jersey, a Virginian by birth and a North Carolinian by edu1 cation, who, though long a honored 1 resident of a Northern State, has never proved himself disloyal to the South. ? <? + Kinds in Full Itetreat, A Conojas, Mexico, dispatch Bays burning bridges behind them, the Mexican rebels continued their retreat northward beforo tho victorious federal army of Gen. Iluerto. Five bridges spanning wide areas were dlstroyed by the insurgents, causing delay to overnment troop trains." The Jonesltes In the State Convention paid Senator Tillman a graceful compliment when they elected him a delegate at large to the National Democratic Convention by acclamation.
