Abercrombie, of Anderson county, was run over by her father’s wagon Wednesday morning and died in a few minutes from internal injuries. She was on her way to school, and when she climbed down from the wagon at Sunset Forest, three miles west of Anderson, the mules jumped and she was thrown under the wheels of the heavily loaded wagon. Tuesday at Red Hill. Marlboro county, Calvin Hyatt shot and killed Malcom Brewer, both white. The trouble was caused by an arrest made by Hyatt a few days ago. Hyatt is a constable and had cause to arrest Brewer’s son. They met at Red Hill. Brewer assaulted Hyatt and was giv ing him severe blows when Hyatt shot him through the body with a 44-cali bre pistol ball. Brewer lived only a 1 few hours. The first contract for the establish ment of a colony in this State since the opening of a department of immi gration was signed Tuesday night be tween Commissioner Watson and par ties interested in bringing colonies South.

The colony will be made up of Scandina vians and there will be about 250 families. As a result of the bite of a fox ter- He Favors Immigration for South Carolina. Two or three days ago the editor of the Anderson Daily Mall wired Sen ator Tillman and asked for a express ion from him concerning the bill introduced in the senate by Mr. Sim mons, of North Carolina, and in con gress by Mr. Aiken. The following was the Senator’s reply: Trenton, S. C., Aug. 24, ’04.. Dear Sir:—I received your telegram yesterday asking my opinion of the bill introduced by Senator Simmons on immigration. I have not got the bill and only read it over hurriedly.^ I saw nothing dangerous or objection able in it, except that a partisan Re publican commissioner might abuse the power given him of removal of a State agent. I am surprised to learn that anyone can be opposed to white men of the right sort coming to South Carolina. Anyone who sees the difference in the thrift, progressive ness and wealth of the upper and lower parts of South Carolina must see at a glance the value of white citizenship as compared with negroes. The lands below Columbia are cer tainly more productive than in the up-country, but the large negro popu lation is a clog to advancement. Then with 235,000 more negroes in the State than white people he would be a fool who objects to decent white people coming among us to settle and make homes. I venture the assertion that if we could swap off half our negroes for as many whites from any of the Northern European countries (barring Russia) it would treble the value of every acre of land in South Carolina. If all the people in South Carolina were white and had always been so, who can guess at the difference that would be in our State? Fate willed that the negroes should be here in great numbers. They are a menace— a curse under the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments of the constitu tion. He must be an idiot who does not wish that we had more white men than negroes in South Carolina. Yours respectfully, B. R. Tillman. Good for Cherokee! [Yorkville Enquirer.l It is reported that a majority of the qualified voters of Chorekee county have signed the petition calling for an election -on the question of abol ishing the dispensaries at Blaecksburg and Gaffney and prohibiting the es tablishment of other like institutions within the borders of their county. The petition is being circulated in accordance with provisions of the Brice bill as the same passed the house, and in the event a majority of the Cherokee voters declare against the dispensaries the county will have to submit to an extra half mill levy, imposed ostensibly for the purpose of enforcing the law; but really for the purpose of protecting the dispensa ries. According to such information as has been obtainable the expressed purpose of the Cherokee voters is not merely to secure a vote on the dispensary question; but to kick the dispensaries out of their county. They have seen that the baleful ef fects of the liquor traffic as conducted by the State board of control cannot be counteracted by the apparently large profits that are derived from the business and they want no more of the abominiable thing. The idea of the State board of con trol when it provided this tax, and the tax was provided by the State board of control through the legislature, was that the standards of the people were no higher than their own, and that the people would submit to anything, however unjust, rather than pay even a trifling tax for relief. But Cherokee is promising to show the State board of control and the whiskey crowd generally, otherwise. rier six weeks ago, little Thomas Igoe,!

The body was taken 1 sources. back to Summerville Sunday evening by Capt. and Mrs. Igoe. The coroner's jury in Columbia Sun day night was unable to arrive at any conclusion in the inquisition into the cause of the death of young Fayette Shealy, whose body was found near that city last Saturday. The - boy’s parents work in a cotton mill there, but he was going down to the river to fish and had joined the camp of two fishermen. The latter had gone down to the river to catch fish for breakfast and left the boy to mind the camp. When they returned they found that he been killed while lying asleep near the fire. The manner of his death was horrible in the ex treme, the boy’s head having been cut open with a hoe, and there was another fearful gash across the chin and throat from ear to ear. The two fishermen were arrested, but as there was absolutely no evidence upon which to hold them the men were re leased. This is the fourth murder mystery in Columbia since the first of the year. .When troubled with constipation try Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

We congratulate the people of Cher okee on this contemplated step. We had hoped that York would lead in the revolution that is now being inau gurated in behalf of public decency and civil liberty; but we feel no Jeai- ousy. Since Cherokee has taken the lead she is entitled to the glorious honor that will be hers, for just as surely as the night follows the day, the movement she has inaugurated will eventually result in the complete liberation of this proud old State from the degredation which it is held by the liquor business.

Voting Began Earley in Tuesday’s Elettion and Was Conducted in An Orderly Manner—The Final Results. Tuesday morning early the voters began to come in and by the time the polls were open at 8 o’clock, the crowd was of good size. The voting began in the most orderly manner and continued so throughout the day. The voters had their favorites and were earnest in their support. They worked for them, but it was high grade work, never offensive, at all times rather eliciting the admiration than displeasure of their opponents. At no time during the day did we see any sign of drinking or other un due excitement in the city, nor have we heard of it at any precinct in the county. On the contrary, the utmost good order prevailed throughout the day all over the county. Marry of the best people of the county and city have spoken to us with pride of the orderly election, and The Ledger joins them in it heartily. The Ledger had, as usual, prepared a bulletin board for the returns to be posted on and soon after the hour for the polls to close the returns of the smaller precincts began coming in by telephone and runners. They were promptly placed on the board, which drew the crowd, and from the closing hour till late at night the crowd watched the registering of the returns with eagerness, and would greet re turns that strengthened favorites’ prospects with cheers. By ten o’clock most of the returns were in that could be had that night, For Adjutant General—J. D. Frost, 2168. For Railroad Commissioner—James Cansler, 275; Jno. H. Earle, 215; W.

We truly had a gracious re vival, the essence of which still lin gers with us and the good work is still going on. We have our handsome church edi fice rigged out in a new coat of paint, and other improvements are soon to follow. We will have an ordination of deacons on Saturday before the fourth Sunday in September. Dr. A. M. Simms, of Gaffney, has been chosen to preach the sermon, and Rev. F. C. Hickson to deliver a charge. Rev. G. P. Hamrick is also requested to be present and take part in the work. We are confidently looking forward for a good day. Ararat people can be relied upon to do the right thing; but that is only reasonable for they are some of the very best people on earth. At ML Ararat church on Sunday, August 28th, Mr. G. D.

For three -generations of men the South Carolina College has wrought its great work for the unification and prosperity of the State. For three generations her sons have honored their alma mater by useful lives and splendid citizenship, and today, in the character and strength of the mem bers of its faculty and in the variety and thoroughness of its literary, sci entific, and law courses, it stands emi nent; in the quality of its work it is the peer of any university of the South. A variety of courses leading to the several baccalaureate degrees in Arts, Science, Law, Engineering (Civil and Electrical), and Pedagogy, is pffered, with the most liberal choice of studies and the widest possible elective opportunity. The faculty has recently enlarged and increased the facilities for post-graduate work, and has placed the opportunity for such advanced university study within reach of all who may desire it, and who cannot go out of the State to obtain it. Every year the College has a number of students working for post-graduate degrees. Its chemical, biological, and physi cal laboratories are well equipped and have each a master teacher at its head: and the College library, with its 35,000 volumes, is the delight of a student’s heart. The College offers special induce ments to ambitious young men and women in its generous provision for the conferring of scholarships on meritorious students at the close of each session. Five of these scholar- | ships are conferred upon distinguished members of the Freshman Class; four in the Sophomore Class, and three in the Junior Class. In addition to these I scholarships, by an act of the General Assembly in 1904, two Special Normal Scholarships for men teachers are given to each county in the State, the value of each being equivalent to $98.

In the fore- noon there were many about it, but in the afternoon fewer were present and by the closing of business hours all were away who had anything else to look after. Some were elated at the success of their favorites, others crestfallen at the defeat of theirs, and others full of deep laid plans to.bring their favor ites, who were fortunate enough to get in the second race, under the string first.
