Special o The State.
Williamson, June 2S.-J y |
Payne, baker by profession, re-
ports that his wife and only child,
a little boy 5 years old, disap-
peared very mysteriously from
his home in Williamson on last
Thursday night, and since that
time he has heard nothing what
ever of their whereabouts. Mr.
Payne sat out in the yard alone
enjoying the cool breeze until late
that night and on returning to his
room he discovered to his great
surprise that his wife and child
were both missing. He proceed
! ed at once to look about the
premises for them, but failed to
find them. Everything about the
room was in perfect order. The
Sunday apparel of herself and
child had not been taken and
nothing was missing except her
bible and photograph album. 1t
is evident that she had made no
preparation in any way for her
departure.
| Her former home was at Shell
by, n c., and the chief of police
of that town has been telegraphed
to know if Mrs Payne is at her
brothers, John Owens, there.
His reply was that she is not
there.
Mr. Payne suggests that she
may have destroyed herself and
little son in Saluda river. The
whole affair is shrouded in mys-
terry and there is no telling what
may develop within the next
few days.
Payne removed from Green
vile city to this town several
years ago. He is well connected.
He says his domestic relations
have been very pleasant, and the
conduct of his wife is inexplicable.

McQUARI AGAIN.

The Enquirer has heard from
MIR I Allen McQuary again.
This time it is only few words
on a postal card that was mailed
at 1okohoma, Japan, on June l,
received ut Tacoma, Washington,
on June 10, and at Yorkville,
last Saturday night, June 25.
In his card MIR McQuary says
he expected to leave Yokohoma
the next day after the card was
written, which would be June l.,
the same day it was mailed. On
account of the war, he saib he
would sail for Seattle, washington,
instead of San Francisco. Just
what the war has to do with the
change of programme the card
does not explain, and VIC are able
onl V TO surmise.
If Mr. McQuary got off from
lOkohoma according to pro-
gramme, then he should have ar
rived at Seattle before this for
his ship sailed at the same time as
the one which brought the card,
and the card had to travel six days
after reaching Tacoma.
At Seattle, according to pro-
grsmme, Mr. McQuary is to be
met by his dogs again, and he
will also procure another horse.
then having ridden 5000 miles
over land, he will have to ride
some 1900 miles more on a round
about route to his home in Mis-
souri,.
In the Chicago Blade of last
Saturday is n letter from Nc
Quarry that is almost identical with
the one published in The Enquirer
of June ). 1t is dated at Yoko

Every part of the State has been reached
and the committee is in communication
three times a week with over 200 State
newspapers, many of which were Inde-
pendent Republican, but are now active

Two months ago Birdie fell sick and

The talk of foul play now became so

a sample of the medicines given Birdie

A DIPLOMATIC PROTEST
Spain's Right to Re-enforce the
Philippines Questioned.
OPINIONS IN THE CABINET
Madrid Officials Losing Hope of Any
Foreign Interference In Their
Contentious for "a Modification of
Terms Presented by the American
Commissioners-Mr. Days View.

1t may bsrshat the United States will
submit a diplomatic protest to Spain
through the French government against
its action in sending a Spanish auxiliary
cruiser loaded with arms and ammuni-
tion 10 the Philippines.
In any event, the matter is under con-
sideration. and il is believed has been
called 10 the attention of the American
Commissioners in Paris. The cruiser In
question is the Buenos Ayres. belonging
to the Spanish auxiliary navy, which
Rear Admiral Dewey reported to the
Navy Department several days ago as
due 10 arrive AT Singapore, Straits Set
Elements, on October I3
1t is apprecia ted by the authorities that
Spain has the same right in the eyes of
international law 20 send re-enforcements
to the Philippines. as this Government
has, and any protest made would be of
the most diplomatic character and sim
ply designed TO make il plain that the
continuance OF the voyage of the Buenos
Ayres Is Objectionable. On the other hand
a member of the Cabinet last night said
that all of the Philippines, with the ex-
ceptiOn OF Manila. are in the nominal
possession Of Spain and that IL is her
undoubted privilege, il she deems IL ad-
visable to do SO, 10 send troops to the
eastern islands to subdue any iusurrec-
ton that may occur.
Another member OF the Cabinet, who
talked the matter over with the Presi-
dent, admitted that Spain has the moral
right to dispatch re-enforcements to the
Philippines, but as the forces of this
Government are IN control 1t is within
its authority to prevent such re-enforce-
ments reaching their destination. How
ever. it is not expected that the matter
will go beyond protest, II It goes that
far.
From the. dispatches received from
Chairman Day the authorities are still
of the opinion that the work of the
Peace Commission will be completed be-
fore Congress meets. Mr.. Day takes
quite an optimistic view of the situation
1t Is his desire TO limit the time of dis
cussion of the various points raised as
much as possible. in order that the ne
gotiations may reach an early conclu-
sion. Information which has been re-
ceived here shows concusively that
Spain has no further hope of foreign In
reference and this fact leads the au-
thorities to believe that she will not at
tempt to drag the negotiations out as
long as she would If she believed there
was a chance of any European govern
ment attempting to secure a modification
of the American terms.

TIDE SETTING AGAINST QUAY.
Charges Against Him Checking His
Political Strength.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1O.-The documenta-
ry case against Senator Quay it is said
has by no means been fully revealed.
and disclosures even more startling than
those recently made are expected at the
hearing of ex-State Treasurer HAYWOOD
on Wednesday next.
1t is now known that photographs
have been taken by the prosecution of
the books and papers of the late Cashier
Hopkins, which constitute much of the
evidence against Quay.
Upon this fact. with others, is based
the conviction that there is much testt-
mony of an extraordinary character vet
to be made public. for ii is argued that
had the documents contained nothing
more than the letters which were given
publicity on Wednesday last, there
would have been no need of the remark
able precaution of photography
United States Senator Penrose gave out
a statement Saturday night in which he
said that the legal proceedings against
Senator Quay were the result of a con-
spiracy. He severely criticized George
S. Graham, John Wanamaker and Judge
Gordon
Its a notorious fact" he declared
that John Wanamaker is extremely
anxious to go to the United States Sem
ate. That is the consuming ambition of
his life. He used the high office of
Postmaster-General to land him in the
Senate in 1891. He tried again in 1893
He made desperate effort in this di-
rection in 1897 But his ambition has
invariably been opposed by Senator
Quay, and he has always failed
Having concluded that it was impos-
sibe to enter the United States Senate
through Republican caucus, he made
a bid for Democratic support, and sue
ceeded.
He had repeated conferences with
prominent Democrats, both in Phila-
delphia and New York. and they found
it necessary to smash Quay"
The proceedings against Senator Quay
are having a strong political effect
throughout the State. The antagonism
to his election which they have produced
is especially noticeable in this city. 1t
is generally accepted that DR.. Swallow,
the honest government candidate for
governor, has a good prospect of leading
w. A. Stone. the Republican candidate
in the Philadelphia vote.
Senator Quay persists in his silence He
will not only speak himself. but he will
not allow his counsel to make any state
ment.

GET FLESH.

Get Strength, yiGor, Clear Complex
ion and Good Digestion. Not by
Patent Medicine, But i'm Natures
Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and yigor. mind and body,
and that Is through the stomach, by
wholesome food, well digested. There is
no reason or common sense in other
method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale, and shaky in their nerves simply
because their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspep-
sia. but the fact remains that they do
not eat enough food. or what they eat is
not quickly and properly digested, as it
should be.
DR. Harlandson says the reason Is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secre-
tion Of gastric juice
Natures remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this, but none so readily as
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which are de-
signed especially for all stomach trou-
bles, and which cure all digestive
weakness on the common sense plan
of furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect Is to increase the
appetite and increased vigor, added flesh,
pure blood and strength of nerve and
muscle is the perfectly natural result
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and viii cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
80 cents for full-sized package or direct

Last Thursday evening the first synp-

condition and was conscious of her sur
