Sons of Temperance.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July,23.-The Grand
Division of the Sons of Temperance
met in annual session in this city to-
day at 10 \. NJ, Grand Worthy Patri-
arch Alexander presiding. The re-
ports of the grand worthy patriarch
and grand scribe show a slight de-
crease in membership and in the num-
Der of divisions now actually at work
in the State, the decrease being mainly
due to The failure to get permanent
State organizer. The morning session
was chiefly taken up in the reception
OF reports and committee work. At
the afternoon session the following

suing year: G.. w. p, John Alexander,

Farmers Protesting.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July 23.-The
State Agricultural Society adjourned
to-day after two days session. Major
II. Hawkins, of Barbour County, was
elected president. Before adjournlng
the following resolutions were unanl-
mouslv adopted:
Resolved, That this society is unal-
terably opposed to the passage by Con-
gress of what is known as the force
bill, because it would be a source Of
unending trouble to the people OF the
North and South. 1t would tend to In
terrupt the cordial social relations and
intimate business connections now SO
happily existing between the people OF
the two sections, to the untold injury
of both.
Resolved, That we call on people and
merchants and business enterprises OF
the North, which deal so largely with
th South and whose interest are ldentl-
cal with ours, to bring their influence
to bear on the course of national legls-
lation and join US in stopping the pas
sage of a bill that aims as directly at
their prosperity as at ours.
Resolved, That we are in sympathy
with all measures legitimate and pro-
per that will prevent the passage of the
force bill, whether taken at the South
or North, believing that in this matter
the commercial and Industrial interests
of the two sections are Identical.

Death in the Flames,

CINCINNATI, July PAT about 1916
tonight a double alarm rang out from
box is. Engines dashed down to the
public landing to find house No. "A,
Front street, all ablaZe. 1t was a four
story brick, known as the John Christie
tenement house. The first story was
occupied by Solomon Ienski as a second
hand store: AL other floors were occu-
pied as tenements, and while the flames
were eating their way to the root there
were thirty people in the building.
The great crowd on the outside shout
ed to the police, who arrived first, and
to the tiremen, who arrived later, that
the people inside were burning up.
With conlmendable bravery the police
went groping into the deadly, sutfocat.
ing darkness, and began the work of
rescue. In the second story were two
families of ten persons; in the third were
two more, numbering ten persons; IN
the forth were two families also num-
bering ten persons. The Menski family
occupied the rooms in the rear Of the
store and here all the fatalities occurred.
The dead are Menski, his wife and two
children. The two persons injured are
likely to die, and it is said some are
missing

Mr.. Bogerts Rich Find.

ELIZABETH, Y. j., July 23.-On June
25th Martha Ann Bogert, aged seven
ty, died at her home, 1,049 Magnolia
avenue, this city. About q week ago
her husband was surprised on looking
over her personal effects to come across
ar old, dilapidated handbag in which,
on being opened, was found stuffed a
large Mumber of small tobacco pouches.
On opening them they were found to be
filled with rolls of bank bills OF various
denominations and silver coin. Bogert,
who was the woman's second husband,
was cute enough to only let couple
of persons into the secret, as Mrs. Bo-
CERT had heirs at law, and having died
without making will, he was afraid
they might claim the treasure. lie
quickly disposed Of all the household
effects and started a few days ago for
Oregon, where he has brother living.
Since his departure the story has leaked
out and the heirs in consequence are In
dignant to think that the treasure has
slipped from their clutches. Those to
whom Bogert contided his discovery
and who had seen the money counted
out by him say that there was over 81
600 in the old satchel Mrs. Bogert dur
ing her lifetime was noted for her mis-
erly propensitieS. 1t is said Of her that
she even used to split lucifer matches
in quarters to make them last longer.

A AIob's Cowardly Deed.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 22.-Ihe
Times-Democrat's special from Paris,
(Tex.) says: Parties who came in here
to-day bring information of what will
doubtless prove to be a most brutal and
cowardly assassination which took
place Saturday morning, about twelve
miles Southeast of here, in the Red river
country. 1t seems that about o'clock
in the morning, party Of six or seven
men went to the house of Andy Young,
a hard working negro, living on the
farm of Nathan Grant, and called him
up. When he came to the door volley
from Winchester shot guns and pistols
was fired into him. The Winchester
balls went through his head in front Of
his ears, cutting his tOnguein two. Ills
body, legs and arms are filed with bull
let's. Yet, strange to say, be was alive
last and conscious, but it was not re-
garded as possible that he could live.
It its thought that he knows who shot
him, but on account OF his tongue be-
ing cut out he cannot tell. There was
a number of shells picked up in the
yard and it is thought the officers have
clue. No reason is known for the
shooting except that the negro had a
difficulty with some white boys.

A NEW SCHEME.
The Force bill May be Abandoned for a
New Reapportionment.

New Reapportionment.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The outlook
for the force bill in the Senate is not
as hopeful as it was two weeks, or even
one week ago. The estimates most
favorable to the passage of the bill give
it only thirty-fve votes, leaving twelve
Republicans VINO are absolutely op-
posed to it, or who feel Indifferent as
to its fate.
The chief reason that leads to the
conclusion that the bill will be aban-
doned is the wide difference of opinion
as to whether it is better to pass a force
measure or a reapportionment bill.
Both cannot or will not be passed
There are some Republican leaders who
insist that they can accomplish the
same results under a reapportionment
bill that can be had under this election
scheme, and there will be no evil results
to follow.
In the State of Illinois, Wisconsin.
Nebraska and Minnesota decided gains
in the matter Of representation are
assured, and these votes added to the
Republican votes from the new States
will increase their numerical strength
in the House above twenty. On the
other hand it is claimed that Texas and
Missouri only of the Southern States
will gain in the matter of seats.
So the control of the next House may
be secured by adopting the more con
servative plan. The next caucus OF the
Republican Senators will determine be-
tween these two propositions. The
general opinion seems to be that the
Souths best policy just now is to KEEP
cool. She has strong allies, and heI
cause is not by any means lost.

Gouged Out Its Eyes

PEsTI1, July pa band of gypsies
solicited aims to-day from a group OF
peasants, who were eating their din
ners in a field, near ToTak Bets. One
of the peasant women spoke to the
gypsies. whereupon little girl five
years, blind and half starved, cried out:
Mother, oh, mother, come to me-" The
woman started, and screaming My
child. my chlld.w rushed to the little
girl, tore her ragged dress open and
showed a birthmark, which She recog-
nized rs having been on the breast OF
her baby daughter stolen from her a
year ago. The gypsies had put out
the chIld's eyes to prevent her recog-
nizing her mother Or friends. The
peasants, enraged, would have lynched
the gypsies but for the interference OF
the geldarms, who took the band to
prison for examination.

THE COFFIN BLEW UP.
Many Difficulties Attended the Burial of
Mrs. Peterson.

SEDAL1A, Mo-, July PA most sin
gular burial took place at Sprlngfork,
fifteen miles distant from this city, re-
Gently. Among the early settlers Of
this County were young German
named John Y. Peterson and his wife.
Last Thursday Mrs. Peterson died Of
drcpsy. At the time of her death she
was a remarkably heavy woman weigh
ing nearly three hundred pounds. In
mediately after Mrs. Peterson died a.
rangements were made for the funeral.
The largest casket to be procured N
this city was the exact measurement
required at the time of death, but as 1t
was not delivered until Friday morn
ing, the body had swollen so much that
it was crowded into the casket with
much difficulty. The lid was then
screwed down and the body left in that
condition for burial. Ice could not be
procured. The funeral services were
set for Saturday afternoon, and, as IS
customary, a number Of neighbors act
ed as watchers Friday night. AT mid
night the watchers were startled by a
loud report in the room where the cof-
fin had been placed. 1t was found that
the gases of the body had accumulated
within the casket until their force
burst the glass over the face Of Mrs:
Peterson. So great was the force of
the explosion that the body Was shot
forward and upward, the head protrud-
ing from the coffin. \ consultation
was held, and it was decided that owing
to the condition of the body the fu-
neral should take place at once. The
grave having been prepared, the coffin
was carried to the burial place and
strong ropes were placed under the
casket. Just as the coffin was being
lowered, one of the assistants let go of
his end of the rope. This threw the
weight to the head of the coffin and the
ropes were jerked from the hands Of the
men stationed there. The coffin fell
with great force, head down, and burst
to pieces. Another consultation was
held, and it was decided to fill up the
grave at once, without waiting for
another caSket,

pecially national issues. We favor
moving the Exchange to Columbia.
The general condition of the State EX-
change is good. We have operated only
six months, and six of the worst
months in the year. The future out
look is very promising. The business
has been good. and we have the utmost
confidence in it
Col. r. NJ. Smith, of Spartanburg,

We will use whatever substitute for
jute we can get. The Alliance does not
work as political body, but YOU can
not separate the Alliance from politics,
as all of our people are members of the
Alliance. But we will make no noml-
nations. I am opposed to that. We
prefer having the Exchange located IN
the up-country We favor the sub

snce of W. Hume Clay and the evidence
of torgeries committed by him have
startled the whole of Eastern and West
ern Kansas and Central Kentucky. He
began forging the name Of his aged and
wealthy grandfather, Matthew Hume,
two years ago, and between that time and
the present his forgeries aggregated $780,

he left Chicago, a week ago, and went up

that he has gone to Mexico. Clay went
to Winchester from Paris a few years ago
