He Waj Formerly Attorney Orncral ami Judge of the Third Circuit? Dlotl In Augusta Tuesday Morning. Augusta. Oa.. March 17.--Judge O. W. Buchanan of Winnsbero, S. C, died here this morning as the result of a bullet wound im 'ted yesterday afternoon while he v * on a train en route to Augusta. The bullet which caused his death was fired by an un? known party and crashed through the car v?lndow while the train was run? ning near Ward, S. C. Tho bullet entered tho right side and caused conjoitlon of the lungs, which resulted in death at 11 o'clock today. The shot ans from a 72 cali? bre weapon. From tho first but slight hopes were entertained for his rocovery. Immediately after being shct h ? received medical aid at John? ston, and was later brought t" Au? gusta, where he was placed In the Wr.? it sanitarium and given the best medical old possible, but to no avail. All through the night and morning his conditiwi was crltionl and at last, he succumbed. Judge Buchanaln was circuit court judge of his district and for four year.*, attorney general of South Carolina His wife was Miss Sophia Tlllman. daughter of she late Congressman Gecrgo D. Tlllman of South Carolina. Judge Buchanan was once head of the Odd Fellows of the State. The remains were taken to Wlnns boro this afternoon and the funeral will be held there tomorrow morning. Accompanying the remains were several members of the family. There aro six children surviving Judge Buch? anan. Jo?lgv Frltchard Forces the Issue. Judge Jeter C. P.-itchard, of th* United Stater circuit court 1* ?orcing the issue on the question of stoto sov? ereignty in South Carolina and has followed up his recent dlcision with in order instructing the ditpc.vary commission to turn over to the attor? neys of certain creditors tho amounts of the claim alleged to have been al? lowed. This the commission was unable to do, having already deposited the funds In a local depository, in Colum? bia, to the credit of tho firms in ques ion.^ Another conflict of authority arises from the fact that the instructions of i he dispensary commission to one lo? cal depository to turn over to anther designated financial institution tha funds of the State which had been de? posited by the commission have mtt with the answer on the part of the first depository that this cannot be done, since It would be m violation of the undlssolved injunction of the fed? eral court. Tho Issue Is thus becoming clearly defined and Is leading to a most em? barrassing situation. The advocates of State's rights ari anxious that the question should be adjudicated as soon as possible by the supreme court of the United State?,. The ground taken by Judge Prltchord, to the effect that a State, In exercising Its pel tee power to regu? lato the liquor traffic within its bor? ders in a certain way, diverts itself ox its sovereignty, is so radically In ad? vance of anything which has ever been held by a federal judge that the whole .South Is directly concerned In the out? come. It la a determined blow at reif-government and in the opinion of many thorough students of ronstitu tlonal law Is fundamentally unsound. We have no idea that the ruling will be sustained by the court of last rescrt. and it is hoped thot the ques? tion will be passed upon without de? lay.?Atlanta Journal. From or With?

DUTLtTHBllfG INFORMATION IS COMING TO WASHINGTON. Marko I Increase of the Negro Vota in I ullami. Illinois and Other Sections ?Defection More Marked Tiian !.:\ er Before. Washington, March IT.?Disturbing Information 1- r-aching llopubl leans in Washington concerning a serious defection in the i cgro v? te of th-: country this year. Just at this .stage in pre\loua national campaigns dur? ing the last 20 yo.rc, dlsquiettn;r ru? mors at( ut the altitude of *hc ne? groes hive been current, but, in the past, little attention has been paid to them. The Republicans have figured thct the negro vote necessarily would be cast for their candidates, becausV It has rppeared heretofore the nur who were dispo-ed to make trouble were not representative of their race. Now however, the situation is somewhat different. Nobody who ha-s inquired into the sentiment over the country doubts for an instant that there is a revolt of the negroes gen? erally against some of the possible, nominees of the Chicago convention. The revc;t centers around Secretary Taft ara it is beginning to be evident that If he ahoul I be nominated he will have a serious task tut out for him to poll anything approximating a majority of thj negro vote in the Xorth. In the South, as many Repub? licans view it, it dees not make much difference practically about tho negro vote, because of tho political condi? tions which ex'st :n that section. The regro In th3 South never will be per? mitted to be a dominant poetical fac? tor; but in some of the .Withern State the negro actually hol? a bal? ance of power at elections. In these very States where the negro vote if* greatest it will be necessary for any Republican candidate to poll enough vot?s t> carry the States. Otherwise it will be lost, Farseeing Republicans are taking notice of the situation and it Is be? coming more evident every/day that if e, candidate te not presented by the Chicago convention who can get the groit bulk of the negro Wots in the North the Republican party is invfor s ? a sound drubbing next November. Statistics show that the negro vote^ in many Northern States is increas? ing tap,dry. The managers of the cam? paign of at least one of the Republi? can candidates for president have made an analysis of the negro vote In some important Northern States, and. on paper, it looks pretty formidable. In Ohio, for Instance the black vote lias Increased tremendously In th) last five years. It Is now between 5?.000 and 60,000. Substantially the name ratio of increase applies to other States. Here arc some of the sta? tistics: In Indiana tho black vote has jump? ed from 18,000 to 30,000: In Illinois, a from 30,000 to 50,000; in Kalnsas from 15,000 to 36.000; in Oregon from 18,000 to 23,000; In West Virginia from 14.000 to 21,000; in Missouri from 46,000 to 60,000;"in New Jersey from 22 000 to 30,000. This list might be continued through other States. The figures given are in round numbers, but a careful ex ami nation 'indicates that they are ap? proximately accurate. No sane per? son could suppose that, if a considera? ble maj #rity of the negro vote were cost against the Republican candidate, he could carry New Jersey, West Virginia. Ohio, Indiana. MI??sourl or Oregon, not to mention other States which certainly would be affectsd se? riously in the event pf the genera) re? volt of the negroes being ca-ried to tho polls. In view of these facts it is pretty certain that the delegates to the Chi? cago convention will thhjc pretty haid before nominating any man who is not assured ef ability to car? ry States in which the negro vote is so tremendous and important a factor. } Lame Shoulder. ?Whether resulting from a sprain or from rheumatic pains, there is nothing so good for a lame shoulder aa Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

J., March 17.?It was when Richard Tague, of South Am boy, was distressed by an unhappy domestic situation that he fell in with a an ancient mariner, one who had been in many strange climes and knew miny curious customs of the Ecst and other parts of the world. The captain listened to Tague's narrative of his marital woes and gave him ad? vice. I When Tague Wuht to bed that night he took care to lie awake until his : wife was sound asleep. Then he quiet? ly arose, procured a basin of salt wa- ' ter and placed Mrs. Tague's nands in it. Presently Mr*. TagAie began to I talk In her sleep. Her recital was slow 1 at first; then it recame /^luble, vand in a ilttto while she had told him all he waited to know and more?th$ stcry of her life, single and mcfrried. Anyway, that's what Tague said when he appeared in the court of chancery today and asked for a di? vorce. Vice Chancellor Walker, how? ever, was not profoundly impressed by the salt water method of obtaining evidence and he held the case under advisement. Mrs. Tague denies the charge and has brought counter accusations in a suit for dlvt>rce, which she had begun before her husband started his. ALL TIRED OUT. Hundreds More in Sumter in the Same Plight.

Besslnger, living at 1518 Tay? lor street, Columbia, S. C, and em? ployed in the railroad shops, says: "I hurt my back about nine years ago and I have suffered with it ever since. I was examined by a doctor some years ago, and he said I had a stone in the kidney. I had a severe attack of the trouble several years ago and lay for nine hours as if dead, the pain being so great that I fainced. I have suffered off and on for the past nine years, t had to lay off from work many times on account of the severe pains in my back and kidneys. The secretions were full of sediment, | very dark, and gave off a disagreea ble odor. I tried everything thac was recommended to me in hopes of get ting relief, but all to no purpose. At- j tracted by an advertisement of Doan's Kidnay Pills, I got a box and gave them a thorough trial.
