ROW OVER A CoLONELCY.
Throwing out the Vote of Capt. Till
mans Company Defeated Him.

Throwing out the Vote of Capt. Till
mans Company Defeated Him.
Columbia s. c., July 29-The develop
ment of the military sensation has reach
ed the point of protest from some of the
companies in the regiment now encamped
at Orangeburg. The election for colonel
was held on July %. Capt. James II. TIL
man of Edgefield, and Capt. Claffey of
Orangebufg were recognized as the lead
ing candidates When the votes were
counted. Capt. Tillman was elected by 40
majority but the vote of his company, the
Edgefield Rifles, was not allowed, Gen.
Watts saying he had disbanded the COM
pany.
The following protest has been sent Brig
adler Gen. Richburg: I'VE hereby give
notice of protest in the election for colo
mel. First regiment, on these grounds:
First, That by unlawful assumption of
authority, Adjutant General Watts threw
out the votes of the Edgefeld Rifles, which
should have been counted for Tnlman.
Second That the vote of Saluda Ri
fies was not counted for Tilman, all
though they had passed inspection; prop
erly belonged and been verbally assigned
to the First regiment.
Third, That the vote of 80 as returned
by the Richardson Guards for Claffey
were not in fact cast, but on the contra
ny seven men were present, and the full
company roll was voted under a misap-
prehension. The sentiment of the same is
overwhelmingly for TlIlman.
Fourth Forty votes counted each by the
Tillman Volunteers and the Edisto Rifles
for Claffey, were not, i'm fact, cast.
Fifth, That throwing out all alleged il
legal votes cast for Tillman, Claffey never
received a majority of the so-called legal
votes of the regiment although he has
been commissioned as colonel. In all mil
itary elections heretofore held majority
vote has been required.
sixth, That Adjutant and Inspector Gen.
eral Watts, in participating in the race in
the manner he did, was guilty of conduct
unbecoming an officer of his rank"
Tho protest is signed by j. Otis Sally.
major First Regiment; Harelock Eaves.
captain Bamberk Guards; The EdgeheId
Rifles, the Capers Light Infantry; B. r.
Carroll, captain Governors volunteers; by
all the Richardson Guards except four
men; by six officers and nine privates out
| of seventeen in camp of the Palmetto
Rifles; S. L. Brodie, orderly sergeant Gary
Evans Volunteers.
Gen. Watts staes that he did refuse to
allow the counting of the Edgeheld Rifles
vote. He has disbanded the company. he
says, but had not notified either officers or
men of his action. Besides, they sent in
more votes than they ever mustered men.
He denies having assigned the Saluda
Guards to this regiment.
Watts and Tillman have not been on
speaking terms since the shooting match
in Edgefeld several years ago between
Til.man and b. b. Evans.

DETECTION OF cOUNTERFETTs.
Scientific Methods which Help Wo-
mems Unerring Instinct and Touch.
1911 Broughton St., West


From the London Truth.
The governor of the Bank Of France has
found that his lady clerks are the best de-
tectves Of forged bank notes and of de-
bentures with altered numbers. He has
now entirely intrusted the work of detec-
ton to a feminine corps. He believes the
delicate tact Of their fingers helps them,
and he fancies that many Of them really
scent a bad note. They feel, in lingering
the forged notes, the difference, however
slight, between them and the real. He
never knew a note that had been laid aside
as doubtful after being thus felt, TO be
anything but forged one. The means
for bringing to light falsifed numbers on
debentures are worth being brought under
the notice Of stockholders and bankers.
The fair detective first spreads the suspec-
ted debenture on a well-lighted table with
"A number Of others, and sets them one by
one beside IT, The genuine numbers are
always written with clerky regularity
The man or woman who wrote them did
so mechanically; but a forger's hand Is

but write figures and MI up forms IT

ink. IL Is never Of the same shade as that

cause the ink IL oxydized; the new ones are

We're the subject of discussion during the
whole day. the two commissions to which
the subject had beeU referred reporting.
The report of the committee on east
bound rates was so long that it caused
the adjournment. As to the report that
all eastern roads have been making con-
tracts for grain shipments during the
month of September and October at lille
gal rates, Mr.. Hoyt said that he knew
nothing of such cutting and hardly be-
heVed that it was true. The roads not
represented at to-days meeting were the
Terre Haute and indianapolis, the Ca

sTARKE,S SENSATION,
Mrs. Crosby Denies That She Took
Poison Voluntarily.

Starke Fla, July 29.-Mrs. Crosby, wife
of Henry Crosby, who committed suicide
here yesterday by taking strychnine, is 50
much recovered that she gave her testi-
mony to the coroner's jury this morning
in her bed room. She denies that she
voluntarily took poison with her husband,
or that he gave 1t to her, but thinks she
was poisoned while hugging and kissing
him when she knew he was going to die.
1t is evident that the loving young bride
was poisoned and how she got it Is a
question, and the best theory that can be
placed upon the matter is that her hus-
band gave the poison TO her with a view
of both dying together. Mr. Crosby's re-
mains were Inferred in the pauper burying
grounds near Starke this afternoon.
