CarOlina's CaInpaigners Take Up the
Police system.
Walhalla, S. c., Aug 2-The cam
paign meeting here to-day was without
special incident, except the spat between
Senator McLaurin and Col. Irby Some
one asked Mr.. McLaurin if he was gov
ernor would he favor the metropolitan po-
lice. He replied that he would not. Col.
Irby asked whether he would remove the
police from Charleston if governor, and he
said he would remove the police. Col.
Irby said this remark was stabbing Gov.
Ellerbe.
Mr.. McLaurin said il was no such thing;
that he would defend Gov. Ellerbe at all
times and that Gov. Elerbe intended re-
moving the police from Charleston. but
was prevented by combination of cir
cumstances.
Col Irby said he only attacked Gov. Ell
lerbe because he had said to Mr.. May
field that he was going to throw the power
of his administration against exGov.
Evans and Col. 1rby.
Senator McLaurin said Gov Ellerbe had
denied this, and had said he would use
his power if his administration were at
tackled.
Col. Irby condemned the present suf-
frage provision in this state, and said it
disfranchised 1900 poor white men in Spar
tanburg county alone.
Messrs. McLaurin and Evans said the
present plan was the best possible solu-
ton, and when Col Irby appealed to the
poor white men he was using the argu-
ment of the demagogues, for there are no
poor whites who are disfranchised in
South Carolina. All white men were equal
and soVereigns, as much so as the rich
countrymen.
Mr.. Mayfield was not present. He
spent the day with his father in Green
VILE county.

LrNAHAN's FATE STILL A MYSTERY.
Had on "A shirt That Once Belonged
to GOV. Atkinson.

Atlanta Ga, Aug. 2-The fate OF the
man, who was known as e. S. Linton and
Mike Linahan, found. as stated in the
Morning News to-day lying dead in the
alley beside the Imperial theater yester-
day. is stin puzzling the police. He had
either fallen or been thrown from the
fourth story of the Imperial building, and
when discovered his body was horribly
bruised and mangled. He had on a shirt
that once adorned the tail figure of Gov.
Atkinson.
To-day, after the police had done all
they could to get a clue to the cause of
the mans death, the coroner held an in
quest. but all that was developed was
that his name was either Linton or Lima
han, that he was a boilermaker, formerly
OF Newman, and that he had probably be-
come possessed of Gov. Atkinsons shirt
after a visit to the mansion in quest of
food. Those who knew him testified to
his Strengthened financial condition. City
detectives declare that there was foul
play. probably a fight in the club rooms.
which resulted in the unfortunate boiler
makers being pitched out Of the window,
and they are working on that hypothesis.

FERTILIZER TAG CONTRACT.
The State to Get Them at "a Cents
Per ] 900 Against SLIGO.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 2-The contract for
printing the fertilizer tags for the state
agricultural department for the coming
year was awarded to-day. The bid was 81
cents per 1000. The estimated number to
be required is 10000
Last year the cost of the tags was $16O
per 1000.
BY the bid accepted by Commissioner
Nesbit to-day, it VIII be seen that there
is a saving of two-thirds of the former
cost. The over charge for tags in the past
was brought out by the Blalock commit
tee during its recent investigation in the
agricultural department. The committee

LYMAN J. GAGE.

Some people may appreciate a
little history of the above gentle
man, who is to manage the affairs
IN the department of Secretary of
treasury, he having received the
appointment from Major McKin-

ley, president-elect. The st.
Louis Republics New York cores
pondent gives the following brief
sketch of the gentleman:
Mr.. Gage is a man of wide ex-
perlence, and early in life he was
thrown among all kinds of men and
people. Being close student of
human nature, he became inter-
ested in the problems OF the day.
and it is said that it was not Diff
cult to interest him in any new
fad, whether of sociology, philos-
ophy or religion.
Lyman j. Gage is a self-made
man, so to speak, and he has seen
much OF this world. AS a boy he
earned 500 year as a clerk in the
Oneida Central Bank at Rome,
New York. Later, when he went
to Chicago, he served as night
Waterman, for want of better en-
ployment, until he secured a posi-
ton as bookkeeper in a bank in
that city.
1t was about this time, as the
story goes, that Mr.. Gage became
interested in Spiritualism, and
ever since, it is reported, he has
been a frequent attendant upon
seances and similar gatherings.
where communication with the de-
parted formed the chief feature of
the entertainment.
Mr.. Gage, it is said, converted !.
j. P. Odell, also banker of Chi
cago, to the spiritualistic belief.
They met by accident several
years ago in this city, and, having
nothing particular to do, Mr.. Odell
consented to accompany Mr.. Gage
10 the house OF a friend, where.
the latter said, he would introduce
his friend Odel to medium who
could average miracle a minute.
so elective was this lady.s work
that the newcomer capituIated |
forthwith.
1t appears that Mr.. Odell had q
box in his bank that had not been
opened by any one save himself
for 20 years. He kept his private
papers in this box, together with
some securities which had been
purchased when Chicago was
mere village.
In order to test the ability of the
medium, the banker challenged
her to cnumerate the contents of
his strong box, and, to his sur-
prise, she told, without hesitation.

but the face value of eacb
