f THREATENED LIFE OF J. FRAZER LYON. Major John Black, Member ot State Board of Control, Creates a Big Sensation in Columbia. Columbia, May 26. ?There waa a sen sation hero today when it was annouced that Maj. John Black, dispensary di rector, had cursed out Mr. J. Frater Lyon on the street before breakfast. Maj. Black is a very excitable man and dangerous when in a passion. Nothing but Mr. Lyon's coolness prevented blood sited. Maj. Black accused the investi gating committee of going too deep into his private affairs. He applied vile epithets to Mr. Lyon's associate, Sena tor Christensen, and said he felt like blowing np Mr. Lyon on the spot. He told Mr. Lyon to arm himself. Mr. Lyon was on his way from his Hats to the hotel for breakfast at Wright's. Tho meeting occurred in front of the Columbia Hotel. Mr. Lyon walked back to his room a moment and when ho returned Major Black was not around. REMOVE BLACK FROM OFFICE. Before the investigating committee. Mr. Lyon calmly placed the information and Senator Christensen added that last winter Mr. Hub Evans threatened to shoot Mr. T. W. Klingenberg, special attorney, if the witness should go on the stand to testify against Mr. Evans. The committee after taking the matter under advisement, decided to refer the matter to the governor with the sug gestion that Maj. Black should be re moved from office. Gov..

Ask your druggist. Hobson's Election Expenses. It comes high to run for Congress in Alabama. In his certified statement of election expenses, it appears that it has cost Capt. Hobson just $6,945 to beat Congress Bankhead. We hope it will never come to pass in this State that it be necessary to spend so much on a campaign. If so, our best citizens will remain in private life. ? Greenville Mountaineer. DOUBLE HANGING AT KINGSTRFE. Two negroes Pay Death Penally for Committing Murder. Kingstree, May 25. ?Promptly at 1 o'clock to-day Epps Snowden was hanged within the jail for the murder of Bob Brown, some time in the fall of 1905. The condemned man showed no signs of nervousness as the grim trag edy of the law fell upon him as the principal actor. He walked firmly from his cell without assistance and took his place beneath the fatal noose without a quiver. Just before the drop, he made a statement, saying that he had no in tention of killing Bob Brown, the night he went to the store and that it was all the result of a drunken frolic. The neck w. i not broken and he died of strangulation. Arthur McFadden was hanged as soon as the body of Epps Snowden was taken away from the death chamber. He shot George Burgess at Cade's some time last winter and was convicted of murder at the last term of court. Petitions for the pardon or commuta tion of sentence were presented for both Epps Snowden and Arthur Mc Fadden, but in both cases the Governor declined to interfere. McFadden, as in the case of Snowden, was game to the end and showed no nervousness while the preparations were being made. He protested his innocence to the last and said he was being hanged for some other man's crime. He ad mitted that he had had a row with Bur gess a week before and had cut him, but claimed that he was not in Cade's at all the night of the killing. McFad den died of strangulation. These two executions took place in private within the jail and in the pres ence of only thr. officers and a few wit nesses. This makes five hangings in Williamsburg since January 1st. Fire at Hickory Tavern. Last Thursday afternoon the cottage of Mr. Lawrence Bolt, of the Hickory Tavern section, in Sullivan township, was totally destroyed by fire, together with all his household goods. The fire occurred about 2 o'clock in the after noon, and is supposed to have started from a defective sto.'e flue. An Edgeficld Drop-Si'tch Skirt. Yes, Maud dear, we cannot imagine how or where you heard it, but Dr. James S. Byrd did actually tu*; at our arm at Red Hill last Sunday to go v*ith him and look at what he called "a sweet drop-stitch skirt." We said to him: "Little boys oughtn't to be so knowing, but still we will go with you.'' The skirt was one of fine white lawn, worn by a tall and beautiful young girl with blonde hair and a matchless com plexion. It consisted entirely of finely tucked panels six inches wide, the tucks and panels running up and down; and between each panel there ran, up and down, a row of wide and extremely thin inserting. It had no flounce or frill, and flared out at the bottom. It was the most beautiful skirt we saw that day, and we said to young Dr. Byrd: "That is a perfectly lovely skirt, and you arc very impudent to be calling it drop-stitch." But the young doctor insisted that it was drop-stitch. He said: "I think it is lovely too, but it is sure drop-sfitch." Alas, Muude dear, boys of the present day are so knowingl-Col. Jas. T.

Result of the Trial of Texas Divine by General Assembly. Greenville, May 24.?Victory by one vote was recorded for Dr. W. E. Cald well, of Fort Worth, Texas, today in the case involving charges against him. The General Assembly of Southern Presbyterian Church heard many argu ments in the Caldwell case before a vote was ordered. This resulted as follows: Seventy-nine votes to sustain the com plaint of Dr. Caldwell against the ac tion of the Synod of Texas in ordering the presbytery to dissolve the relations between him and the First Presbyterian Church, of Fort Worth, Texas; eleven votes to sustain the complaint in part, and eighty-nine votes against Dr. .Cald well, making a majority of one vote for the complainant. The Moderator nam ed a special committee to investigate and report on the eleven votes, which were cast for partial ratification of Dr. Caldwell's course. Only the question of the legality of the Synod of Texas was considered. The merits of its action were not touch ed upon. Tho complaint charged the Synod with acting illegally, and in the second count with being unjust and un fair to Dr. Caldwell. Since the first charge is virtually sustained the second count was withdrawn by consent when the vote was announced. THE VOTE. The vote on 4he complaint was taken by Synods, the South Carolina Commis sioners voting as follows: In favor of sustaining the complaint: F. D. Jones, Bunyan McLeod, B. Duz enberry. To sustain the complaint of Fort Worth Session against the Synod of Texas: W. M. McPheeters, R. A. Thompson, J. W. Bankhead, T. J. Robins, P. A. Emanuel, A. A. James, J. O. Temple ton, F. E. Thomas. To sustain the complaint against the Synod in Dr. Caldwell's views in part: Robert Adams, W. J. McKay, J. G. Henderson, A. W. White, M. S. Strib ling. Dr. William Caldwell, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Fort Worth, Texas, entertains some views which arc regarded as heretical by most Presbyterians. Briefly, he was charged with being out of harmony with the Presbyterians Standard with regard to the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch to the historic accuracy of the earlier chapters of Genesis, the mi raculous element in the Old Testament, and lastly, Caldwell holds that Christ died not as a penal substitute instead of man, but simply for man. But these questions were not properly before the Assembly. The Fort Worth Presbytery accepted Dr. Caldwell, and he is pastor of the First Church. Some members of the Presbytery made com plaint to the Synod, which referred the matter back to the Presbytery, which again sustained Caldwell. Then the Synod reversed the action of the Pres bytery. The questions before the As semby were whether the Synod acted legally and within the constitution, and whether its action was unjust and mis taken. Some of the speakers, who have been on the floor, confined themselves to the matters at issue, but most of them made some references to the answers of Dr. Caldwell with regard to the his torical accuracy of certain sections of the Bible. The general public will not trouble to go into the technical details of the case, and only the verdict will be considered. UNION COTTON MILLS SOLD. Bid in by the Re-organized Company for $1,238,400.00. Union, May, 23.?The plant and ac counts of the Union Cotton Mills of which T. C. Duncan was formerly pres ident, were sold at auction today by Christie Bennett, who was appointed by the federal court to conduct the sale. The property was bid in by Wm. Elli ott of Columbia, attorney for the Union and Buffalo Mills, the purchase price being $1,238,400, being just $32.74 more than the upset price fixed by the Fed eral court. The bid by Mr. Elliott was the only one made. Mr. Robertson re quired the deposit of a certified check for $50,000. The plant was purchased by Mr. El liott for the re-organized committee, and the company will continue the op eration of plant. Since the reorgani zation committee has had charge of the affairs of the mill it is understood that it has been making money. The goods in the mill were appraised by A. W. Smith of Spartanburg, H. L, Moody of Victor Mills, and T. J. Brit ton of Spartan Mills. DEATH OF MISS MONTGOMERY. Due to an Over-dose of Laudanum Taken Wednesday Morning. Spartanburg, May 23.? Miss Marie Montgomery, the eldest daughter of Mr Victor Montgomery of this city, died this morning at 11 o'clock. Death was from the result of an overdose of laudanum, which drug the young lady had been taking under prescription. Miss Montgomery retired last night at her usual hour, and this morning at 7 o'clock she was found in an uncon scious condition. Dr. L. J. Blake, the family physican, was hastily summoned but the young lady was beyond the reach of human aid. Up to the end she was unconscious. Miss Montgomery wns a graduate of Limestone Female College, and was quite popular both at that institution and in this city. She had a bright per sonality . was liked by all who knew her. Tnis is the third death which has oc curred in the family of Mr. Montgom ery within the last year. About a year ago Mrs. Horace Bomar, one of his daughters died and only a few months ago Mrs. Montgomery passed away. The death of Miss Marie Montgomery at this time will be a great blow to hejj family and to her many friends over the State. Miss Montgomery was a niece of Mr. W. S. Montgomery, treasurer of the Laurens Cotton Mills. Mr. Lamar Smith, head book-keeper at the Laurens Cotton Mills office, was one of tho pall bearers at Miss Montgomnery's fneral which took place Thursday. STATE CAMPAIQN ITINERARY.

Congressman Johnson's Efforts to Secure $147.00 for Pcttitt Heirs. Washington, May 23. ? Representative Johnson is about to get an old claim settled that will be of interest to sev eral people in Spartanburg county. At the breaking out of the war B. F. Pettitt, of Spartanburg county, had a contract for carrying the mails from Glenn Springs to Laurens. When the war began he had to stop his work, and the goverment owed him $147. Nothing could be done toward the collection of this claim as long as the war lasted, and since hostilities ceased nothing has been done with the claim until recently. A short time ago Mr. Johnson took it up, and he said today that he had just succeeded in having the house pass the claim. This means that the heirs of Pettitt living in Spartanburg county will shortly receive the money?$147? that has been due for so long.? Spar tanburg Journal. ??A LOCKED POUCH." What Newberry Gets in the Way of Bellcr Mail Service. With evident disgust the Newberry Observer last Friday printed on its lo cal page the following item: "There has been a demand for some lime for mail on the C. N. and L. early morning and evening trains?and we have got it with a vengeance. The postoflice here has received the follow ing: "Atlanta, Ca., May 21, 190G. "Postmaster, "Newberry, S. C. "Commencing May 24th you will be due to receive on train 21, at 7:06 p. m., a locked pouch from Columbia, S. C; and you will forward return pouch for Columbia, S. C, by train 22, at 8:35 a. m., daily except Sunday. "The only effect of this worth men tioning is that it will compel the post oflice employes to be at the postoflice to open that 'locked pouch' ?which will have no mail in it of any consequence? none whatever from this side of Co lumbia. And the next morning the empty pouch will be sent back to Co lumbia. "This is great. As a matter of ac commodation it is literally 'out of I sight.' " HELP HARD TO GET. Spartanburg Mills Experiencing Trouble in Obtaining Operatives. Says the Spartanburg Journal: The cotton mills in this county are having considerable difficulty in se curing sufficient help in the mills to op erate the mills on full time. The de mand for operatives is general through out the entire county, and the condi tions here are said to exist in mills in other sections of the State. The demand for labor in the mills has been increasing for several months ow ing to the fact that many of the mill operatives have quit the mills and re turned to the country to work on farms. , NOTICE Of Stockholders' Meeting.

D. CARRIERS. Fifteen Days Rest Annually With Full Pay is Assured. Washington, May 24.?An annual va cation of fifteen days, with full pay, is assured the rural free delivery car riers of the country, by the terms of an amendment which Senator Clay succeeded in having incorporated upon the post-office committee today. Senator Clay will made every en deavor to secure the retention of this provision when the bill gets before the Senate, and there is good reason to ex pect ho will be successful, as there were but two votes against his amend ment in tho committee. The hard fight will be to induce the house leaders to agree to the amendment when tho bill gets to conference, but with the strong favorable sentiment among tho mem bers of the house, it is believed this can bo done. With the vacation provision engraft ed upon the laws, it will remain a fix ture for this bmnch of the service, as it is of other branches, and increase of annual pay will come later. Other important amendments affecting the rural delivery were placed upon the bill by Senator Clay and the friends of this branch of the service. A total appropriation for rural deliv ery of $28,700,000 is carried by the bill as it passes from the hands of the Sun ate committee. This is about a million more than the estimates of the postofllce department. The object of this increase is made plain by certain provisions adopted. One of these is that there is to be no discontinuance of the rural free mail delivery service where it has once been established. Another is that the work of establishing the service in other directions shall continue with the ulti mate aim of carrying the benefits of the service of every farm house in the entire country. This means that in the not far future the rural sections of all States will be covered by rural deliv ery routes. It is apparent that Congress does not intend that the service shall be crip pled, or that there shall be any discon tinuance of the progressive policy of the past. The Senate committee has retained in the bill the provision for the South ern fast mail train, by which Atlanta and all points beyond are given the same mail facilities as are enjoyed by other sections of the country. COTTON ACREAGE STATEMENT. An Increase of 736,228 Acres Over the 1905 Crop. Atlanta, May 28.-The Southern Cot ton Association by President Harvie Jordan and Secretary Richard Cheat ham, issued the following statement re garding the cotton acreage for the year 1906: "Replies received from a very large number of our 17,000 correspondents enables us to give out the following re port on cotton acreage for 1906 com pared with 1905: SUite. 1006 acr. 1905 acr.

These figures are to be verified or corrected at a meeting of the State presidents at Jackson, Miss., May 31. The statement further says that the scarcity of labor, especially in Ala bama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ar-1 kansas will cause at least 10 per cent, of the acreage now planted to be aban doned on account of the lack of neces sary hands to cultivate the crop. Frosts about May 8 10 caused considerable damage and replanting.
