MR. W. G. CHILDS ON WITNESS STAND. Investigating Committee Holds Him for Contempt?To Make Himself Forci bly Understood He "Cusses." Columbia, June l.-Mr. W. G. Childs, president of the Bank of Columbia and of the Columbia, Newberry and Lau rens railroad, is cited to appear before the dispensary investigation committee Tuesday to answer to the charge of dis orderly conduct and contempt. While on the witness stand today he was asked by Mr. Lyon to repeat some con versation in which he had been told that dispensary officials had received rebates. Mr. Childs said it had all oc curred in a joke and he would not tell it. Hefore the committee could decide as to the relevancy of tbe testimony Mr. Childs exclaimed: ' "od, I will not tell it." Mr. Lyor ^ had no further questions for t ^68 and the committee went into jtive ses sion and later announced that Mr. Childs had been cited to appear. He will apologize to the committee, saying that he did not mean to be dis respectful but forceful. Mr. Lyon had boon pressing him closely in regard to the matter of freight given to Mr. Childs' road in preference to the others of the state. Mr. Childs became very much worked up and said that he de served to have all of the freight he was getting because his was a Tillmanite bank and a Tillmanite railroad, having been such during the days of the Dar lington riots, when other railroads re fused to help the state and he had placed his line at the disposal of Gov ernor Tillman. Mr. Lyon wanted to know if Mr. Childs has not been holding stock in trust for members of the dis pensary board in the glass factory. This also was denied very strenuously by Mr. Childs. It was Mr. Lyon who proposed to press the other inquiry if it were relevant, but when Mr. Childs cursed he gave the matter up in dis gust. The investigation committee has taken a recess until Tuesday. Mr. Lyon stated that the line of procedure map ped out by the sub-committee had been overruled in some particulars by the whole committee and he had no wit nesses for Saturday. The sub-commit tee seems to have all of the backbone of the entire committee. Today Mr. Lyon produced a lot of letters from Leon Bamberg, of Bamberg to whis key houses in which a number of start ling overtures are made to represent them in this state. He says in his let ters that he knows all of the dispensary officials, that he is in the whiskey ring and as the ring places its own officials in the state dispensary it gets the fa vors. Bamberg is dead. His father was dispenser at Bamberg and he, too. is dead. Mr. Crum is also dead. There fore the correspondence has an un canny air. It tells of Crum being ap proachable. The correspondence was unearthed by the committee on a clue found by a drummer in a wash stand drawer at Wilmington, N. C. King Marries Princess. King Alfonso of Spain was married shortly after noon Thursday to Princess Ena of Battenberg, the ceremony being performed in the church of St. Jeronimo at Madrid by Cardinal Sanchez, arch bishop of Telcdo, assisted by a special muncio of the pope. Great crowds densely packed the main thoroughfares. As the king and his bride were return ing to the palace after the ceremony, a bomb was thrown and it is reported that several persons were killed.

A dispatch from Pickens says: A gloom of sadness was cast over the town of Pickens when it heard the news that their beloved citizen, John Ferguson, who lived near town, was gored by a Guernsey bull. He had just finished feeding when the bull attacked him and knocked him down and gored him to death. His wife, Mrs. Hattie Ferguson, heard him cry out. She was sick in bed, but she jumped up and ran to the piazza and by that time John Simpson, a colored man who was working for Mr. Ferguson, heard him scream also. He saw the bull goring Mr. Ferguson and he secured a pitchfork and fought the animal away. Earl Stephenson, an other one of Mr. Ferguson's hands, who was nearby, ran up and pulled Mr. Ferguson's head from under the barn. The animal had crushed his skull and pushed his head under the barn. He was carried into the house and died in a few minutes. He never spoke after he was hurt. Mr. Ferguson was for many years a prominent merchant of Greenville. Prof. Elmer Putnam. The following item which is from the Greenville Mountaineer is of interest to Laurens as Prof. Putnam is a son of Mr. W. A. Putnam of Barksdale: "The graduation recital of Mr. Elmer E. Putnam took place in the G. F. C. auditorium Wednesday evening in the Eresence of a large number of friends, le was assisted by Misses Annie Dantzler and Gertrude Little, vocalists, and Mrs. L. M. Hubbard, accompanist. During the next aesaion Mr. Putnam will have charge of the music depart ment of the Orangeburg Collegiate In stitute." , Newberry Letter Carriers.

Robert Love Taylor, who has just heard the music of the Senate doors swinging ajar for him was born in the right spot?Happy Valley, Tcnn. He has been happy ever since. As a baby ho cooed and laughed, but was never known to cry. In his repent campaign he appeared as "the Apostle of Surishine." After "a few vigorous smashes," as the classics of the prize ring say, he would "sing a lullaby or quote a few verses." He knows every body in the State, babies more than three months old included. He has spoken, sung, fiddled or lectured in about every town in Tennessee. How could Mr. Carmack hope to beat him? Will Catgut Bob, an old favorite, of Tennessee's and ours, soon transform himself into a serious statesman,mostly saving his sunshine for the cloakrooms and for the vacations in Tennessee? It is to be feared. Gravity and solemnity of demeanor are so easily assumed and so common that the metamorphosis of this troubadour and story-toller into a statesman with customary suit of black and air of wisdom must be regretted. It might be grateful to the reverend seignors of the Senate to hear this ac complished artist try to quiet the Hon. Robert Marion La Follette, for in stance, with this favorite lullaby: "O, don't you cry, little baby, O, don't you cry any moah." But Mr. Taylor is a shrewd and adaptable politician. He would have been, he is, an excellent actor. The same thing has been said, and with no shade of discredit implied about Mr. Bryan. It means that he has imagina tion, readiness, adaptability, a quick grasp of essentials, a power to pene trate character. Catgut Bob among his own people, who understand and are fond of him, "put his whole soul" into his singing of "O, the fiddle strings and curls Of the happy boys and girls In the good old time cotillion of Long ago." He will study the part of a Senator, and has the capacity to play it well. He will learn the "business," the rules and traditions of the role. He is a boy of 56, hitherto not too old for young parts. Something of his buoyancy, gayety and good humor should irradiate the Senate chamber. Sunshine is needed there, especially when Mr. Tillman has one of his bad days and is bedevilled and bedevilling. "I believe in the gospel of smiling," Bob says. May he irradiate with his beams even the awful form of the Vice President, even the vast profound of Beveridge! ?New York Sun. A Miraculous Cure. The following statement by H. M. Adams and wife, Henrietta, Fa., will interest parents and others. "A miracu lous cure has taken place in our home. Our child had eczema 5 years and w as pronounced incurable, when we read about Electric Bitters, and concluded to try it. Before the second bottle was all taken we noteced a change for the bet ter, and after taking 7 bottles he was completly cured." It's the up-to-date blood medicine and body building tonic. Guaranteed.

Mr, and Mrs. Joe Hudson, a young couple were burned to death at 3 o'clock this morning in a fire which destroyed the residence of Louis Cantrell in this place at which Hudson and his wife were boarding. They had been married only a few months. The house was a largo two-story structure near the residence of Judge Wickliffe in West Union, and when Mr. Cantrell awoke almost the entire first floor was enveloped in flames. It was imposible to reach young Hudson and his wife. Rocks were thrown against the windows and every effort was made to arouse them but they were never seen. In a short time all that was left were two charred bodies in the half burned timbers. Mr. and Mrs. Hudson were from the Salem section, but both had been here several years. Mrs. Hudson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Reid of Walhalla. The Intimate Side of Senator Tilhnan. (W. A. Lewis, in Success Magazine.) "Ben" Tillmau, lolling back in an arm-chair, is one personality. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, on the floor of the United States Senate, is something entirely different. The contrast is won derful, but unstudied. There is no individuality in American public life so ungroomed and earthly as Tillman. Beneath the tousled hair, be hind the solitary brown eye, is an intel lect colossal and majestic, contemptuous of the exaltations of position, despising all platooning of Belf, inveighing against whatever savors of sham and humbug. Tillman dearly loves the hardships of steadfast principles, and revels in the hardest forms of a righteous hatred of lies and liars. He is anything but a novitiate; still he is extraordinary and a surprising proposition in the geometry of suddenness. He is neither clever nor j ponderous. But he bends with no syco phancy, shakes with no vacillation, snaps with no disloyalty, wobbles with no irresolution. His intellectual weapons are wit, satire, invective, irony and scorn, wielded with the edge of daring and the swirl of strength. In the Senate chamber he always clutches a brand?unlit, aflame or charred. He is tirelessly a-buckle, and a-fray, spurred and ungloved, a storm-born, blow-giver. But, reclining in an armchair, at his | ease, his mind undisturbed by the fumes j of the day that has died, unagitated by the expectations of the day unborn, a mischievous smile playing about his mobile lips, the responsibilities of j statesmanship laid aside, the strifes, conflicts and struggles of public life for the moment abandoned, with just tlu sweet sympathy of his, little family cir cle to calm him, undisguished admira tion of the woman sitting opposite him, the playful humor of his domestic side, and you have another and distinctly op posite Tillman. A tender mildness comes into the brown eye, a musical cadence pervades the worn voice; and a languor that constitutes positive luxury to this glutton of labor, thought, and toil coverts into relaxation of the ex hausting tensions of a mammoth or ganism of nerves. No other Senator can arouse his com peers to greater activities. No other] man exhibits a fonder tenderness to his family, or can provide more genuine hospitality to his guests.

Will be Allowed Fifteen Days Annual Vacation With Pull Pay In Addition to Regular Holidays. Washington, May 30. ?Tho Senate by unanimous vote adopted the Clay amendment to the postofllce appropria tion bill providing that rural delivery carriers of the country shall havo an annual vacation of fifteen days exclu sive of holidays and Sundays. In advo cating his amendmonnt Senator Clay addressed the Senate at length. Senator Clay called attention to the fact that the present bill carries an ap propriation for rural free delivery ser vice of $28,000,000, an increase of $7, 000,000 over the bill of last year. Com menting upon the growth thus indicated he said: "The history of rural free delivery is both interesting and gratifying to the farmers of the United States. This service was first put in operation in 1896. Only $-10,000 was appropriated for the year 1897, but eighty-three routes being in operation at the end of that year. "When tho department began the ex periment of sending- mail to the doors of the 20,000,000 fanners of thecountry this laudable work met with strenuous opposition," said Senator Clay. "It was predicted that the expense would be enormous and that tho task would never be accomplished. Thoughtful men realized the value of that service and pressed with great energy, and un tiring industry that the farmers in every state might receive their mail daily at their homes, thus enjoying the pleasure and profit to be derived from reading the daily newspapers. In this way farm life was to be made more at tractive and the farmer was to come in daily contact with the social and busi ness world. In my opinion more real benefit is derived from this appropria tion than from any other appropriation made by the government for public service. I do not under-value the im portance of the strength and power of J our army and navy. Both are essential to the security and protection of the American people. But with a happy, contented intelligent rural population the future of the American republic is safe." Senator Clay presented a table show ing the rapid progress tho service has made since 1896. From the eighty three routes of 1897, costing $40,000, the service has grown to 32,055 routes in 1905, costing $21,116,60. Since the end of the fiscal year of 19C5 there have been added 6,119 routes, making the total established to date, 38,174. Speaking of concessions and privileges that should be extended the rural car riers, Senator Clay said: "In my judgment the carriers should be given permission to carry packages for the accommodation of their pat rons. The privilege should be given farmers' wives to purchase small neces sary articles at the village shop through the rural carriers it is inconvenient for them to go themselves to the markets." He also favored granting the carriers an annual leave or vacation, as is granted other employes of the govern ment, and that there be an allowance for subsistence for their horses. Reverting to the value to the farmer of the daily newspapers, Senator Clay said; "He is enabled thereby to keep in touch with the world's advance, to be posted on current events, and to un derstand current markets. Man is a social creature. He cannot live by him self. He is anxious to communicate with others and to know what is going on in the social and business world. Iso lation and loneliness brings about dls- ? satisfaction with country life. The; rural carrier each day brings sunshine and happiness to the country home.? The extraordinary extension of rural free delivery during the past ten years has proved to be most salient significant and ff^-reaceing. Who can calculate the benefits that have thus far accrued from this service. The farm is brought into daily contact with the currents and movements of the business world. We I know that the disposition to leave the farm is a familiar effect of our past conditions. This tendency has doubt -: less been greatly checked by the rural ; free delivery service. This service; brings the farm within the daily range of the intellectual and commercial ac tivities of the world and commercial and monotony which have been the' bane of agricultural life are sensibly mitigated. The standard of intelligence is raised, enlightened interest in public affairs is quickened, and better citizen ship follows. "To make this service a success," continued Senator Clay, "we must not neglect the rural carrier. He must be paid reasonable and fair remuneration for his services. He must bo taught to feel a pride in his work, and that faith ful service on his part, will he appro- 1 ciated and rewarded by the govern ment. The rural carrier, like other employes of the government, needs and must be given at least fifteen days' va cation each vcar.'' Charleston & Western Carolina Railway.
