8?RB1E NATION ?T THE HORSE SHOW. The Kansas Crank Raises a Dis turbance in Madison Square Garden?Denounces Four Hundred For inde cency in Dress. New York, November 20.?Mrs. Car rie Nation created a sensation at the Horse Show today. She harangued the great gathering on the evils of overdress, attempted to break a bottle of champagne and was finally ejected from the building by the police. Mrs. Nation entered the Garden quietly and took a seat in the tier. She bad been there only a few min utes when her gaze rested on the box where some members of the Vander bilt family were sitting. She studied her programme and then descended to the promenade. Stationing herself in front of the Vanderbilt box, she delivered a tirade on overdress. In the box were seated Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Reginald Vanderbilt and Miss Nielson. Alfred G. Vanderbilt was leaning against the rail on the promenade and did not see Mrs. Nation approach. " You ought to be ashamed of your selves," the woman screamed at them. *4 ?cu ought to be ashamed to wear such disgraceful clothes. Take them off; take them off at once and attire your selves more modestly." Alfred G. Vanerbilt hastily left the position at the rail and came over to where Mrs. Nation was standing and wiping her forehead with a handker chief. He whispered something in her ear and pushed her away. The outburst of the woman attracted a great crowd of people and the occu pants of the Vanderbilt box were evi dently very much embarrassed. Mrs Nation then turned her attention to other boxes. Finally she started for the cafe, where she bore down on a party of men who were drinking wine. Mrs. Nation seized the bottle and, glancing at the men, shouted : "Toung men, don't dnnk such filthy stuff. You are going straight to hell. Where is the man who sells this stuff? Show him to me and I will tell him what I think of him." Mrs. Nation's request was speedily granted by the sudden appearance of M. Villepigue, the caterer at the Garden. "Get out of this horrible business," she shouted at him. "You are also going to hell and ruining the bodies and sonls of men. You are dragging them down with you. Shame on you ? Shame on you !" -The,Frenchman, however, ran to Mrs. Nation and rescued the bottle, which she had repeatedly brandished in the air to emphasize her remarks. Then he pushed her out of the door. Here the police took hold of the Kan sas reformer and forced her out of the building. Admira! Schiey Honored. Kansas City., Mo, Nov. 19.?Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley was the iguest of honor tonight at the annual banquet of the Commercial Club, held in comm?moration of the signing of the Jay treaty. The affair was a not able one and Admiral Schiey was given an ovation, the climax of a day of enthusiastic greeting to the naval hero. The banquet was most elaborate. Plates were laid for 500 guests, and among them was Capt. A. Rowan, U. S. A. of Atchison, Kan., who "car ried the message to Garcia;" Hugh Gordon Miller, of Norfolk, assistant United States district Attorney of Virginia, and others. Following a parade upon his arrival from Chicago in the afternoon, Ad miral Schiey and the other dis tinguished guests were given a recep tion at the Commercial Club, attended by several hundred people, then a luncheon, and finally a drive through the city. Preceding the banquet an informal reception was held in the Midland Hotel parlors, Admiral Schiey shaking hands with the half-thousand banqueters. Toasts were responded to as follows : "A Message of Garcia," Capt. A. S. Rowan; "Statehood for the Territo ries," J. G. Gavin ; "The Star Spangled Banner," H. Gordon Miller; "The American Sailor," Admiral Schiey. Bloody Murder in Aiken. Aiken, November 20.?A rumor has reached here from the country that zibout dark tonight Lawrence Ran dall shot Arthur Weathersbee in the breast and left him lying near Sum merall's Mill, near Millbrook. Ran dall used a double-barrel shotgun foaded with buckshot. After the shooting he walked away and, meeting Mr. Matt Berrie, told him of what he bad done and suggested that Mr. Berrie would find the body near the mill. Mr. Berrie notified neighbors and telephoned to Aiken for a doctor. Both Randall and Weathersbee are farmers. The latter had the reputa tion of being a dare-devil sort of man and was nearly shot to pieces some years ago in a difficulty, butt recover ed. ? Randall is an uncle of Alfred Ran dall, who had a difficulty with Weathersbee during the recent pri mary, and it is supposed the shooting grew out of this old quarrel. London County Life describes the history of the potato known as the Northern Star as one of the romances of finance. It was brought out in 1901 by a Fifeshire grower, who parted with several tons at the extraordinary price of $S,G00 per ton. This is about 62.50 per pound, at which rate two pounds were purchased by a Lincoln shire dealer. From this two pounds there will be grown this year 120 pounds. The dealer was so pleased with the result that he bought a farther quantity at $2,500 per ton, wiiich is the rate for 1902. ? Thanksgiving Dinner. Heavy eating is usually the first canse of indigestion. Repeated attacks inflame the mucous membranes, lining thestomach, ex poses the nerves of the stomach, producing a swelling after eating, heartburn, head ache, sour risings and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, protects the nerves and cur?is the catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweet ening the glande of the stomach. J. S.

New Orleans; November 20.?The Socialists came within four hundred votes of securing the control of the Convention of the American Federa tion of Labor today. The struggle lasted almost the entire day and many able speeches were made on both sides, notably those of D. A. Hayes, James Duncan and President Gompers, against the Socialists, and Victor Berger, Max Hayes and W. B. Wlson, of the United Mine Workers, in behalf of the resoultion introduced by Dele gate Berger, and amended by Delegate Wilson, in a manner acceptable to Berger. The resolution favored poli tical action along Socialistic lines. The debate lasted until 6 o'clock in the evening, when a roll-call showed 4,744 votes against the amendment of Mr. Wilson and 4,344 in favor of it. The miners voted solidly in favor of the amendment. President Gompers was today com pletely exonerated of the charges of infidelity to the principles of trades unionism, said to have been made by Theodore J. Shaffer, president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. The special committee which conducted the in vestigation reported that when Mr. Shaffer appeared befcre it he declared that he had not, at any time, either in writing or otherwise, made any charges against Mr. Gompers of in fidelity to trades unionism nor did he desire to before the committee. P. J. Sheridan, who brought up in the Convention the resolution which resulted in the investigation, was also present at the hearing; and was ask ed if it was true that Mr. Shaffer had made any charges before the last Con vention of the Iron, Steel and Tin Work ers against Mr. Gompers, and he re plied that he had. Mr. Shaffer denied it Mr. Sheridan offered to read the minutes of the meeting at which the charges were said by him to have been made. Mr. Shaffer objected to this I because the minutes were those of a secret meeting, and if read by Mr. Sheridan it would involve him into trouble with his own organization for divulging the inner workings of the Convention. The Convention decided that the question of veracity between Mr. Shaffer and Mr. Sheridan was some thing with which it had nothing to do, and there being no charges against Mr. Gompers, there was nothing to do but return a finding to the effect that Mr. Gompers was completely exonerated. This was done and the report was adopted by the Convention. LIGHT VOTE CAST IN 6ENERAL ELECTION.

Atlanta, Ga., November 19.?A dis patch from Raleigh says: Norwood Wilson died suddenly in Columbia, S. C, and his death revealed the fact that Miss Fannie McFadden, of Raleigh, was a widow. Four years ago Wilson was a telegraph operator for the Southern Railway and it was then that he made the acquaintance of Miss McFadden. Wilson was very ambitious and aspired to be a lawyer, 30 he finally resigned his position and began the study of law in the Uni versity of Tennessee. The two lovers continued their cor respondence but when they met in Columbia last September they decided to marry and keep the affair a secret until Wilson should graduate next June. The ceremony was performed September 17 and the bride returned to Raleigh while the groom went back to Nashville, Tenn. Last Friday he stopped in Raleigh ! on his way to Columbia, and he and his wife met for the first time since their marriage. He remained here only a few hours and the next news was a brief dispatch to Miss McFad den announcing the sudden death of her husband on Sunday. Wilson was 30 years old. His re- j mains were sent to his old home at Greenville for interment. Cured of Piles After 40 Years Mr. C. Haney, of Geneva, Ohio, had the piles for forty years.

Bell, White, of Clarendon County, Arrested for Forging a Check . on Bank of Manning. B. W. Bell, alias J. H. Bell, white, a farmer who has heretofore lived near Davis Station, Clarendon county, was on Wednesday committed to fail on a warrant charging him with forgery, which was issued on Tuesday by Mag istrate Wells on the affidavit of D. J. Chandler. Bell was arrested on Tues day night about fifteen miles from St. Stephens, Berkeley county, by Constable Jenkinson, of Manning, who located him at the house of Bell's brother-in-law. Bell admits his guilt and made no objection to coming to Sumter after he found that he was trapped and the evidence of his guilt was ? so strong that there was no es cape. The story of the crime is as follows : 1 Several weeks ago Bell went into D. J. Chandler's clothing store with a regular customer of the store who made several purchases at the time. .While they were there Bell was intro duced to Mr. Chandler, but when asked if he did not want to buy some goods, Bell said that he didn't have any money with him, but he would be in town again soon and would then make a bilL On Tuesday, November 11th, he returned and bought a suit of clothes and other articles, the bill amounting to $17.50. When he finish ed trading he produced a check for $95 drawn in favor of J. H. Bell and signed by S. M. Mixson, who, Bell stated, was the well known merchant at Davis Station. Bell said he would go to the bank and get the check cash ed and return for the goods and pay his bill. He returned in a few min utes and stated that the cashier would not cash the check unless he could get some one to identify him. Mr. Chandler endorsed the check, had it cashed, and after deducting the amount of Bell's bill gave him the balance. The check was deposited and nothing was heard from it until Tuesday when Mr. Uhandier was called up. over the 'phone by the Cashier of the Bank of Manning and informed that the check was a forgery, that Mr. Mixson, or Nexsen, which now appears to be the correct name of the Davis Station merchant, said he had never given Bell a check. Mr. Chandler imme diately began an investigation and soon ascertained that no J. H. Bell lived near Davis Station, but that the de scription fitted B. W. Bell to a nicety. A warrant was taken out for B. W. Bell and Constable Jenkinson, of Man ning, who had in the meanwhile learn ed that Bell left Davis Station for St. , Stephens on Monday, was deputized ! to make the arrest. When Constable Jenkineon reached St. Stephens Tues I day night he found that Bell was 15 miles in the country. Constable Jen kinson hired a buggy and a guide and at 4 o'clock was back in St. Stephen's with his prisoner. Mr. J. H. Chandler, who accompanied Jenkinson to St. Stephen's and was awaiting his return from the country, immediately I identified Bell as the man who passed the check and. Bell then confessed. ' Bell asked for time to raise the j money to make good the amount he had obtained on the forged check but i he was brought to this city and com mitted to jail. His father and brother are in town today and they are en deavoring to arrange for the release of Bell. Two More Car Robbers Caught John Brooks and Milam Hampton, two of the gang of negroes who were engaged in robbing freight cars on the Atlantic Coast Line last year have been arrested in Charleston and Rail road Detective Blount Tuesday secured arrants and went to Charleston last Wednesday night for them. These negroes were accomplices of Wilson ' Dick, who was captured and convict ed shortly after the robbery, nearly two years a<;o, and Archie Brearley who was captured two weeks ago in Florence. All of them except Dicks were train hands and they robbedt he trains, throwing off the goods at places agreed upon while Dicks hauled them off. Dicks was captured near Brun sons' old sash factory with a stolen bale of cotton on his wagon, but the other members of the gang escaped arrest at the time. Card of Thanks.

A WHITE HCRSE THIEF. Clinton Wise, of Clarendon County, Ar rested Today With Stolen Horse in His Possession. A telephone message was received from Manning abont 9 o'clock Thursday morning requesting the city police to be on the watch for a horse thief who stole a horse last night from a Mr. Ridgeway who lives six miles for Manning near Home branch. A de scription of the stolen horse was given and with this to go on the police set out to find the thief. Within a half hour the thief was arrested and com mitted to the guard house and the horse recovered. The Manning officers were notified of the captare and they asked that the man be held until --a constable could reach here with a war rant for him. The thief is a white man about 23 years old who lives in the neighbor hood in which the theft was committed. When the police found him at A. D. Harbys' stable trying to sell the horse he said his name Svas Ellison Ridge way, bat after he was placed under arrest he was recognized by several parties from Clarendon county, and he then admitted that his name was Clinton Wise. The parties who iden tified him to the police stated that he bears a bad reputation in his home neighborhood and has been in trouble before for stealing. Wise does not talk about stealing the horse, but the evi dence against him is so clear and con clusive that no confession is needed to establish his guilt. Clinton Wise, the white horse thief was taken to Manning Thursday af ternoon by a constable who was sent for him by the sheriff of Clarendon county. A Liberal Offer.

This is a new remedy and a good one. Dr. A. J. China. News and Commni Fron Plsjih. Pisgah, Nov. 18.? News from differ ent sections show that a large grain crop?oats, wheat, &c, is planted. Those that were planted early, are fine. I have seen some a hand high. It seems that our people have realized that something besides cotton, will have to be depended on for a living. Labor conditions, have changed, and with it other things. The high cost of living this year, coupled with old debts, have about balanced the cotton crop. With the whites there will be no corn to buy in this section. A few industrious color ed farmers have made good corn. It is a matter of regret that there was no federal election held in Rafting Creek. Two of the managers were on the jury and the other one did not turn up. Mr. Lever will have his small vote thrown in his face, and if there is the least possible excuse to seat his opponent it will be done. The primary does not settle the elec tion, and the sooner our people find that out, the better. The tax law now in existence will no "doubt govern tax paying. It is the law of the land on that subject, until repealed. When a person tenders his taxes under it the treasurer is obliged to receive it. Of late years the legis lature has done business in rather a slack way, and it is time So call a halt, and be more careful. Rev.. Mr. Crouch preached a fine sermon at Pisgah last Sunday. One of the features of it was on the sin of lying. Let us hope that the incoming ad ministration will enforce the dis pensary law in Charleston and Colum bia, and not let it be so openly violat ed, as now. While in Charleston last spring, the writer of this, saw whiskey sold openly as in the days of bar rooms, and gambling going on right under the eyes of the police. Such a state of law and order, to say the least, is very discredatible indeed to the powers that be. Rev. J. W. Kenney is engaged in a protracted meeting at New Hope Church. He expects Rev. J. D. Hug gins, of Paxville, to assist him. The Musical Festival. On account of there being other at tractions, and in order not to conflict, the band has decided to have their festival on Thursday and Friday nights next, Nov. 27 and 28.~The band does not care to conflict with any organization, and it is to be hoped that you will understand the change in date and governor yourself accord ingly. __ _ To the Public.
