This young man has seen fit to attack

is no question no dispute as
to where I stood in 1890,
nor where am and have been for the
past four years. My record is open ;
whatever I did was done OIL convic-
ton and with honesty of purpose, con-
cealing nothing from aoy man. But
can nv competitor say as much2 He
was a Bratton man in 1890, and does
not deny it, knowing I have the proof.
Can he tell you trutnfully that he ac-
quainted Gen. Farley with his honesss
views on politics that year, before ao-
cepting that office under him2
will Mr.. Watts also say whether
or not he is a member or attended
upon the meetings of an organization
known in Columbia as 'Scatterwood
Alliance or Club and if so, to tell
you truthfully the purpose of that

THE REV. MIR. LEE.

OVGr luc Sdu0 rdIlrOdU.--OLhLc.
THE REV. MIR. LEE.
The following special was received
by The State from Yol.kville about the
Rev. Robert A. Lee:
YoRKvILLE, July 49, The Mr.. Lee
referred to in The State today as being
killed yesterday at Brevard, N. @. !,
is Rev. r. A. Lss, rector of the Epis,
copal church in Yorkville. The news
of his sudden death has cast gloom
over the whole town. He was very
promising young man, and had
strengthened the church here. He
was almost idolized by bis congrega-
ton and was popular with other de-
nominations, as he was a Christian
first and an Episcopalian afterwards.
His parents live at Due West, 8. @.
His remains will be buried tomorrow
at the family burying ground in Alb
beville. Mr.. G.. w. s. Hart, Mr.. w.
E. Marshall, DR.. R. A. Bratton and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Moore, members
of his congregation, left here tonight
for Abbevllle. The st. Agnes Guild
and Ladies' Auxiliary sent beautiful
floral offerings. Much sympathy is
expressed also for Senator TiIlman in
his aff1ictiOn.

Many Men Drowned.

CLEVELAND, July 16.-The most ap.
palling disaster which has occurred IN
Cleveland, except the Viaduct horror
last winter, when a loaded car plunged
one hundred feet into the river occur.
red tonight at s o'clock. While fiat
bottomea ferry boat, loaded with bs.
tween forty and fifty laborers was
crossing the old river channel, it was
capsized and all the men thrown into
the channel and between fifteen and
twenty drowned, fourteen bodies hav-
ing been taken from the water up to
II p. m. The accident was due to q
panic among the men on board The
boat was so loaded that the gunwale
was only three inches above the water,
and a passing tug made waves which
came into the boat. At once there was
q rush to the other side and the boat
went under and spilled the men. They
were all members of a gang of ore
handlers and were coming TO their
homes. The scene in the river, as de-
scribed by the men on the tug and the
steamer Ian gdon, which we're passing,
was one of wild struggle Tor life.
Lines and life preservers were thrown
from both vessels and many were pull-
led aboard. Others of the unfortunates
were rescued by small boats, and some
swan ashore. The life saving crew
was summoned and the work of
searching for bodies at once begun.
Within q short time seven of the un-
fortunates were brought to shore and
taken to the morgue Tor Identification.
Those who escaped scattered in every
direction, and it is uncertain just how
many lives were lost.
