LETTER FROM C AMD EN.
Cnvden, Feb. 14.?We have had all
kinds of weather here for the past
three months, and farmers have done
very little work so far. but there Is
plenty of time yet. If we have a good
March ws will never know the differ?
ence.
As we "won out" on our estimate
of last year's cotton crop, made the
first of April, I s "that South Caro?
lina would make a fun crop wkh the
get oral crop short" ws, are going to
make a forecast >n this year's weath?
er
Judging the future by the past,
which la a very good rule, we will
this year have an carry, dry spring,
with good summer seaaosu.
Ws don't agree with your Plsg.ih
correspondent as to law makers
changing their minds, while we admit
that It Is manly to say you are wrong,
and change your mind. But to such
"baby" work as the senate on the
lien law?vote one day to repeal it,
and the next to let It stand?looks
Uks the senate needs Investigating. In
other words. It looks like some out?
side Influence was brought in to
?hang? their votes.
There Is no daubt that the majority
In South Carolina want prohibition,
and the lien law repealed, and the
people should have what they want,
sven if It Is not for their best Interest,
as some claim. One fact about the
Hen law, the poor flarmer who the
merchant seems so anxious to help
are the very ones who want It repeal?
ed. Any honest man can get what he
wants without a Hen, and the dishon?
est don't deserve help. As It Is the
honest msn pays for what the mer?
chant looses on the dishonest llener.

GRAFT IN CONGRESS.
LILLEY WILL APPEAR BEFORE
COM MITTTEE ON RULES.
Hin Atx'u.tatiortM of Graft Against All
Hut Four Members of House Naval
Affairs Committee and Some News
I>aper Correspondent- In Connec?
tion With Submarine Bout Con?
tracts Cause Excitement.
Washington, Feb.. 24.?George E.
Lilley, commissioner at large from
Connecticut, the author of the charge
that has stirred up the submarine
boat rcandal and which has l?d to
allegations of a serious nature being
filed against more than a dozen mem?
bers of the house naval committee
and three or four of the best known
newspaper representatives in Wash?
ington, is scheduled to appear before
the house committeo on rules tomor?
row, where he wll be required either
to substantiate his charges of graft
on his fellow members of congress
and tho newspaper men, to retract his
damaging statements, or to suffer the
results.
Tho trouble grew out of the charge
made by Mr. Lilley that unfair and
dishonest means were employed by
tho Electric Boat Company, of Xew
Jersey, to have legislation favorable
to that company passed in the matter
of the suDmarine boat contracts pass- |
ad through congress. Mr. Lilley prac
tically charged every member of the
naval affairs committee with being in
on the graft except four, -including,
himself. He is quoted further as stat?
ing in an interview with a New York
newspaper man published in the
Washington Herald that Judge Griggfc,
of Georgia, and Representative Sher?
man, of New Yoik, chairman of the
congressional campaign comiuitteeqs
of the two parties, had received cam?
paign contributions from tho Electric
Boat Company in- consideration "of
which the bide of this company to sell
submarines to the government were
to be favored. ?
Lllley's sensational charges have
almost caused blows to be passed on
rhe floor of the hou3e more th.in
once during thel last few days and
have also resulted in three or four of
the bent known and most popular
newspaper men in Washington being
temporarily suspended from the pros*
gallierles on the charge of lobbying,
which Is against the rules of the gal*
lerics.
Mr. Lilley's actions of late have pux
sled the public to a large dgree and
th?ire are many members of congress
who do not know what to think of
him. It is said that as long as he
went along and .oted against certain
naval measures, especially appropria?
tions for naval stations, the public
count not blame him if he was acting
conscientiously, but that his whole?
sale charge of graft In which he al?
leges that only four membfre of the
naval affairs committee, including
himself, are honest Is beyond belief.
The whole Capitol was bussing today
with the incident, and there is no toll?
ing what developments will take place
tomorrow.
Lilley, however, sticks to the state?
ment that he is honest and will prove
that other members of tho naval af?
faire committee are guilty of graft
and should be severely punished
LILLEY FILES HIS CHARGES.
Submits to House Committee a Brief
Backing Up Ills Graft Allegations.
Washington, Feb. 25.?Representa?
tive George E. Lilley, of Connecticut. ?
the man who has stirred up trouble
In congress in connection with the
awarding of contracts to the Electric
Boat Company, with the result that
lb members of congress stand accus?
ed of graft and three or four of the
best known newspaper men In Wash?
ington have been temporarily sus?
pended from membership in the press
galleries, had a hearing today before
tho house committee on rules. Speak?
er Cannon presided. Beyond the fact
that Lilley filed a written brief, in
which he backed up his former state?
ments that members of the naval af?
fairs committee of the hou3e and
others had received money for their
influence in favoring the electric boat
concern, nothing was given out for
publication. He . will have another
hearing tomorrow and conclude his
side of the case.
If tho commlttte decides to pre?
sent the rcsdution which Lilky asked
congress to pass the whole question
will be brought up on the floor of the
house immediately upon the assem?
bling of that body tomorrow. On the
contrary, If the resolution is not al?
lowed to come up then the lf> mem?
bers of congress who stand accused
by Lilley of the unfair dealing and of
the bartering of their oath of office
Will publicly demand that Lilley either
substantiate his acusatlon Iheg an<1
there or publicly retract what he has
said concerning them,
j This Is one of the most serious mat?
ters that has BOmS before congress for
years and trouble may be precipitated
I at any moment.
I While the matter has been adoWed
to proceed with Order since Saturday,
when Lilley sprung his charges, and
when Representative Grlggs, of Qoor
gla, waa on the p^int of attacking him
on the floor of the house, it is recog
I nizcrl that the whole thing as alleged
I by Lilley must be. substantiated or
withdrawn with an apology and a
satisfactory explanation before peace
will reign again. The accused men are
red-hot and will demand a hearing of
their side of the case in any event.
SELLERS WILL NOT BE TRIED.
Case Will Go Over to Next Term of
Court?True Bill Returned by the
Grand Jury.
Columbia, Feb. 25.?Solicitor Tim
merman had the grand Jury remained
In session until yesterday for the pur?
pose of passing upon the indictment
charging W. H. Sellers wh\h the mur?
der of Constable Jas. P. Farmer. The
indictment wao handed out shortly
before the noon hour along with an
Indictment charging Noah Long, col?
ored, with criminal assault. The
gTand Jury was out of the court room
but 25 minutes, returning true bills j
against Sellers and against the ne- '?
gro.
Sollcltcr Timmerman was anxious
to try the Sellers case at this term of
court and immediately after the noon j
recess the defendant Sellers was
brought into court.
Counsel for Sellers filed an affidavit
to the effect that it would be practi?
cally Impossible ofr the defense to be
! ready ior trial at this term. On the j
showing made, Judse Wilson stated
that he could not force the defendant
to go to trial immediately.
KILLED ON TRAIN
Grover Welsh Slays Man Who Killed
IBs Brother.
Lancaster, Feb. 24.?Berry C. Mob
|#y was sh.o.t and killed tonight on a '
passenger train near Pleasant Hill, a
small station between Lancaster and |
Kcrshaw, by Grover Welsh. Four bul- !
lets were fired intc Mobley'j body and
he died instantly.
Mobley, who killed Steve Welsh, a
brother of the man who killed Mobh-y '
tonlgnt, is reported to have been on
his way to Lancaster to see Mr. R. '
E. Wylie, a member of this bar, when
the tragedy occurred.
The details of the killing aie not
obtainable tonight, and it is not yet

Feeding Farm Animals.
Dr. O. D. Nourse of Clemson col- j
lege made a most remarkable address
at the recent meeting o ftlio South
Carolina Live Stock association at
Columbia. Among other things of In?
terest to the Southern farmers, Dr.
Nourse said:
"An animal must have for its daily
j
use a certain amount of digestible
matter, but also it Is desirable that it
should (have certain proportions of ;
protein and carbohydrates, ihat they |
may be thoroughly nourished and yet!
no lees sustained in way of undigest?
ed food passing through them. In ol ?
der to feed our cattle on this basis, we
must mix our hays and grains in right
proportions.
"Protein-rich foods are the costly
ones and for this reason we are for?
tunate when we need not buy them.
In this particular the South ia to be
congratulated. Cotton seed makes
the richest of all our meals, and that
is, and will be, available as a cattle
food for all time, and without cost of
freight added, as must be the case as
to Northern points.
"Pea hay we note again Is rich In
protein and an article much relished
by stock and easily grown in all sec?
tions, so that as a basis for rations
for cows, or steers we have these two
materials of greatest value.
"As mentioned at first we must feed
certain rations of protein and carbo?
hydrates if we practice economy, and
must therefore have other articles to
offer with the cotton seed meal."
Western Texas Is proud of Mrs
Anney McElroy Brett, a woman pro?
moter. Today she Is the telephone
queen of the Southwest. She Is pres?
ident of the Southern Independent
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
and president and gSncral manager
of the Brett Construction, Telephone
and Telegraph Company. These com?
panies, representing more than $500,

dollar of capital to start with.
The Chilean government has begun
work on double tracking the main i
railway line from Valparaiso to Santi- i
ago, a distance of about 100 mllee, I
which will require a large quantity of
now steel and many thousands of new

ments, will greatly relieve the conges?
tion |n tnat uort, which for the past
ysar ha? bct-f. a great hindrance to j
business.
The expense of the Pan-American j
Congress, which 's to beheld the com- I
lug summei in London, are estimated
at about $30,000. nearly all of which i
will be raised by the sale of tickeis |

CERNS IN FEDERAL COURT.
Tli* v Declare That Plaintiffs Have no
Other Remedy ami Ask for lic
siralniri? Order?Determined Ef?
fort to Protect Grafters.
Charleston, Feb. 24.?In the office
of the clerk of the United State? cii
I cuit court today papers, were filed in
. an amended and supplemental I'ill of
complaint by the attorneys of the
Wilson Distilling: company, Anheu*er
! Busch brewery, Gallagehr & Eurion
and Jack Cranston & Co., against the
State disponsary commissioners a.id
the banks which are depositaries for
the funds of the commission.
The bill declares that the plaintiffffs
have their only remedy in a court of
equity and asks the appointment of a
receiver to administer upon the af?
fairs of the State dispensary; a re?
straining order to prevent the com?
missioners from paying out any mon?
ey until authorized by the court; the
appointment of a master to take testi?
mony and ascertain the claims of
creditors, paying such as may be au?
thorized by the court, and incidentally
requiring the commissioners to make
an accounting to the court for all
money jjaid out and received, rale of
all property, etc., and for such other
relief as may be found necessary.
The order was signed early this
morning by Judge Pritchard at Ashe
Villa and under the order the commis?
sioners are required to answer the ac?
tion at a hearing in Ashevllle on Fob.
29, at 10 a. m.
In the bill of complaint it Is al?
leged that the. commissioners have
wrongfully and unlawfully failed and
refused to pay tho Just claims of the
plaintiffs; that the commissioners are
delaying and trying to defeat the pay?
ments, have denied their trust and
that they owe any duty to the credit?
ors of the/ dispensary, have wrongly
and unlawfully exceeded the powers
conferred upon ihem by law and
usurped and attempted to exercise
the powers of a court, unlawfully at?
tempted to 8,rrogate to themselves ex?
clusive jurisdiction of all claims
against the dispensary and funds in
their hands, that these powers and
functions, unlawfully usurped, have
been partially, liufairly and oppress?
ively ? Yerchcd. The hearings have
not been designed to ascertain just
llubillties but to Secure evidence for
criminal prosecution of allrged graft?
ers: witnesses have reen unlawfully
assembled for the service of papers
upen them, whil'i refusing to pass
just claims; that the commissioners
are attempting to have the act of 1907
amen led so as li lega'lze the usur?
pation of the functions of the rourt
and the exercise of these wrongful
claims of exclusive jurisdiction; that
they aftek to place the funds biyond
the reach of this court and other
courts and render it impossible to
have any claims paid, sav3 those that
they see fit to pay, and the commis?
sioners go farther, according to the
complaint, in their last contention
that the commissioners deny the right
of the plaintiff tc have their claims
litigated in a court of general juris?
diction and are attempting to make
such denial effectual.

CATARRH IS CURABLE.
SmwsHful Experiments In Abating
and Curing This Disease.
Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated
for a single day now that ; Hyomel is
so generally known and has made so
many cures in Sumter (and other
towns.
Moelern SClsSICS has disproved the
old theory that catarrh was a blood
disease*. It is a germ trouble, and the
remedy iy Hyomel. which medicates
the air you breathe, killing all ca
tarrhal germs.
As there is lif? and health in the
air of the pine forests, fllletl with fra
grant and healing balsams, !sv> there is
lif" and health in breathing Hyomel.

even the worst cases of catarrh, that
