DON CAMERON MUST PAY.
A south Carolina Court Convicts Him
of Horsewhfpping a Man.

Oh hOrseWnIpVlng a Man@
COLUMBIA, 5. c.. Sept ia jury in
Beaufort county has found verdict against
former Senator Don Cameron Of Pennsyl-
vania for $3.50 damages for horsewhipping
David Schein two years ago. The suit was
for $4,000 damages, and the trial has
dragged along for some time Senator Cam
eron was not present, excusing himself on
the ground that he was sick with malarial
fever and did not wish to come TO this sec
tion at this time Of year. Don Cameron is
the head of the ST. Helena Hunting Club.
near Beaufort. Several years ago Gen. NJ
c. Butler, acting as his agent, purchased
many thousands of acres Of land in this
section, and secured the hunting privileges
on much that could not be bought Club
houses were built. and Senator Cameron
also erected lodge for his own use 1t
has been his habit to have parties Of friends
come down several times during the win
ter.
The trouble out of which the suit came
occurred when one OF these parties broke
up two winters ago. AT O'Clock in the
morning Mr. Cameron was driving through
his preserve into Beaufort Several wit
nesses testified that they were in a very
pleasant state OF mind, but while driving
on the she'll road the Senator's pleasant
mood was changed on meeting a large party
OF negroes who were under the influence
of liquor and were gesticulating and shout
ing. They were employees of the club. A
little farther on they met Adam Small.
negro land owner. who would not sell his
place. but had rented it TO Schein. who,
it was alleged, sold liquor TO the negroes.
Cameron. according to the testimony, asked
him why he had rented to the Jew. and.
calling him up TO his buggy. whipped him
as long as the negro kept within reach.
Driving on TO Schein's store Cameron
called him out and demanded to know why
he sold liquor to his negroes.
Sehein protested that he had not done
so. The former Senator called him a liar
and told him he must leave the place
Schein maintained his right to remain
there, having leased the land Senator
Cameron then standing in his buggy. be-
gan using the long whip on Schein. whose
escape was prevented by the horse and a
picket fence forming an angle from which
he could not escape. Finally after having
drawn blood. Sehein pulled of a picket
from the fence and got through. He swore
that Senator Cameron told him among 9TH
er things that IL he was there when he
got back he would ''cut his throat from
ear to ear"
Mr.. Cameron was defended by Elliott E.
Elliott, of the Beaufort bar, the senior
member being Congressman William Ell
lott Schein was represented by the At
torney General of South Carolina. Duncan
G. Bellinger, and State Senator Tolbierd.
The defence denied assault and battery.

Attempts having been made from time to time
and even up to now, TO discTedit the action of
Lord Elgin, the British Ambassador to the Porte
in I799 in removing the sculptures Of the Par
thenon at Athens to the British Museum it is
of interest to note that official pronouncefnent
is forthcoming from Bloomsbury which points out
that the Parthenon marbles were suffering daily
injury, and that there prospect OF better
care being taken of them. In the fifty years
Immediately before Lord Elgin four figures had
entirely disappeared from fl,e west pedilnent, and
others had been much injured. The fFieze was
suffering in the same manner, and the Atllenians
Of that day Thought that taey heard the sculp
tures that were removed groaning for the fate
of tIoss that were left behind. A further justi-
fcation OF his action is supplied by the addi-
tional deterioration which the sculptures that
were left in position have suffered since Lord
Elgins time. Whether this proEonnceInent on
the part OF the British Museum authorities will
satisfy the advocates Of restoration remains TO
be seen- 1t may lead to ,a-~revival CT the con-
tIoversy, but TO the general public the Official
statement seems likely 70 carry conviction oace

CANADA IN NEED OF FUEL.
Lumber Industries and Forest Fires
LessenimE Timber Areas.

anu
Lessening Timber Areas.
THE most serious problem that con-
fronts the Canadian people of the future"
says Consul Seyfert in letter to the State
Department from Stratford, lis material
for fuel The gigantic lumber industries
and the great annual forest fires have so
denuded the timber area of Ontario that
the people are thoroughly alarmed about
the future fuel supply. Hardwood for fuel
is now worth from Sc to sS cord and soft
from SO to s.. while coal, which is all i'm
ported from the United States, costs Sc
ton. The item of fuel is therefore one OF
the heaviest expenses to every housekeep-
er in this latitude of long and severe win
ters. An ordinary residence will consume
not less than 500 worth of fuel in a year.
II has been well known for years that
there were extensive beds of peat bogs in
Canada, and particularly in the province
of Ontario.
AN effort has been made during the
past six months to utilize this product o.
nature. In Ireland, Wales Holland, and
Bavaria peat has long been the chief fuel
used by the poor. The recent invention OF
machinery by means of which vast areas
of hitherto unused bogs can be converted
into marketable peat has opened up a new
Canadian industry.

WHERE FAITH CURE FAILED.
Prayer Methods Made TO Give Way
to Hospital Work.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Sept. 16.-Mrs.
George Farrer. of Long HILL who has been
treated by faith cure healers for several
weeks. has been removed to the general
hospital in this city. The woman is very
weak.
The husband was opposed to the presence
of the two women healers. but the appeal OF
his wife prevailed until today. when me
determined to put stop 10 il and the sick
woman was removed 10 the hospital. The
chances for her recovery are very doubtful.
George Farrer. the husband, said that Mrs
Sherman and Mrs. Eben Lyon. of long Hill,
who had previously been active in the work
of the Methodist Church in the village. were
the Christian preachers" as he called
them. He said:
They came to the house and exhortei
my wife to prayer. and she prayed day and
night. 1t seemed that if prayer would
save a being that was going TO die, then
Mrs. Farrer would certainly get well. But
it did not do her any good
Mrs. sherman one of the two alleged
healers, said she was not Christian Sci
enlist if she understood correctly what
that school teaches.
"As 1 understand it," said Mrs Sher-
man, Christian Science denies the diEiu-
ity of Christ They believe he was cool
hooly man but not divine. That Go<Jrne
is repugnant to me. for / believe Christ
was divine. l believe in the power and
efficacy Of prayer. and am mistaken in my
belief that prayer can often succeed in ef-
fecting cures where drugs fail. In order.
naturally. to be cured or assisted. enc
must have perfect faith. In treating Mrs.
Farrer, Mrs. Lyon and myself spent hoIrs
at her bedside, praying and prais ng tn
Lord for his goodness. You must remem-
Der that before we went there, Mrs Farrer
sent for US. and that in giving up the doc
tor to trust in Christ for relief she was
not primarily influenced by either of US.
am not prepared TO say that if she con-
tinues her supplications 10 Christ she may
not vet be relieved"

1t may be suspected that the great Chi
cago trust conference will be famous in
history rather for the humor of its or
ganization than for anything it is likely
TO accomplish either politically or educa
tionally. 1t is uniquely composed of the
friends and enemies of the evil it has
met to- consider, in something like equal
proportions. 1t will probably be as ef
fective in results as would a joint con-
vention of the Democratic and Republi-
can parties to nominate a candidate for
the Presidency.

The Negro Contingent.
[Erorn Tho DhiIadolnhin Rnaol ,

The evils OF war between Great Britain and
the Transvaal do not constitute by any means tbe
greatest danger with which South Africa is men
aced. In the event of serious conflict between
the British and the Beers there is only too much
reason to fear that the fierce natives would tar
the warpath from the Indian Ocean to the At.
lantic. There would then arise something anal
ogous TO the wars OF the British and French on
this continent in the eighteenth century, when
both parties enlisted the aid of the savages, and
when both suffered from their atrocities This
consideration alone was sufficient to cause the
Salisbury government to restrain the belIicose
spirit of Minister Chamberlain. There is no
doubN that this, too, has had no small share in
inclining the Beers toward peace; for it is in
timated that the British have secured the alle-
glance of the warlike Basuto negroes in case the
Orange Free State should join its neighbor re-
public.

Our Cuban neighbors are earnestly pre-
pairing themselves for independence by close
imitation of American institutions. Already
they have progressed far enough to have a
race problem worse than ours. We recon-
mend them to import a few thousand Nor
mons, and get up an agitation about
polygamy, next. After they have digested
that lesson in the science of national con-
struction, they might hire Carter and study
our method of handling public improve
ments and appropriations.

A Large Number of En1istments in

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 16.-Tennessee's
quota of troops furnished to volunteer regi-
ments now being recruited is greater than
that of any other State. According TO fig
ures of the War Department, ii is followed
by New York and Illinois. Tennessee has
averaged 567 soldiers, $50 Of whom are irons
East Tennessee. Several recent patches
of enlistments which were not counted will
run the number up TO SOC. With a census
population of 100000, East Tennessee has
furnished one soldier for every $50 popula-
ton. This is about twice as many as New
York or Illinois.

LYNCHING DENOUNCED.
The Feature of the CoIOred Baptist
Conventions Session

Conventions Session
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept. 1.-THE feat
ure of yesterdays session Of the National
Colored Baptist Convention was the speech
by Dr. Farris, from whose church was
started the recent anti-lynching crusade.
The Rev B. W. Farris, pastor of ST. Paurs
Baptist Church, at Boston. spoke on the
question OF the hour: How shall we pre-
vent crime, stop lynching, and restore law
and ORDER The speaker said il made his
blood boil to hear OF woman being as
saulted and no punishment was too severe
for the criminal, but the law should say
what his punishment was to be. If those
accused of these crimes are guilty it should
be proved under the law, and then doubt,
especially in the North, would be removed,
for even the law presumes man innocent
until he is proven guilty. The black man
could afford to be Iynehed better than the
white man could afford to lynch him.
Standing with God in defence of a
crushed and bleeding race" said he.
whose advantages are few. with profound
sympathy for all women for having been
brutally assaulted l denounce everything
which serves to encourage and perpetrate
lynching. the great crime, sin. and shame
of America
He hoped to use every effort to bring
about reconciliation between the North and
South TO prevent crime and lynching and to
unite the people of the South upon the
Biblical remedy for all who are oppressed
and outraged. The address of DR.. Farris
was referred to the committee on the state
of the country, which will report tomor-
row. When the report is presented IL is
expected it will be discussed at length.
