oARoLINA's QUEER CANDIDATES.
whitman Has the Courage of His
convictions, and That's About All

columbia, S. c., Aug. 4.-For four con-
secutive campaigns. G. Walton Whitman
has been a candidate for Governor in this
state Until ten years ago Whitman was
preacher, but since then he has been
studying politics. He is now making the
contest under circumstances that are pc
culiariy distressing to others in the cam
paign party and requiring great fortitude
on the part of the candidate. Four years
ago whitman received about 1000 votes
in total of $1,000. Two years later his
vote was 240. This year 1t will be even
less. and yet Mr.. Whitman is as absolutely
confident of election as a man can we'll be-
Some time ago he called at the State
House, visited some of the offices. and an
nounced in most serious manner that,
expecting soon TO be associated with the
officers as their chief, he desired to be-
come better acquainted.
1t was some time after the opening of
the campaign before Mr.. Whitman could
pay the entrance fee exacted by the State
Executive Committee, and he is now ac-
companying the party under circum-
stances painful to the other members, who
know that he often speaks when the pangs
has not rested in a bed.
Recently Whitman arrived at station
from which the other candidates took car
riages to the place of speaking, twelve
miles distant. He could not go in a car
riage, and with only a glass of milk for
breakfast he pumped an old bicycle that
distance over a sandy road, made his
speech and pumped back. He would not
accept the hospitality of others, and was
only persuaded to break his fast that
evening on a watermelon. He often sleeps
in chairs.
Mr. Whitman is the best read man, and
by far the MOST versatile speaker in the
campaign. He is 81 years old and has q
family of grown children. His chief aim
is to tear down colleges and build up pub
lie schools
There are other features of the cam
paign that are not so painful. Capt. J
A. Jennings, candidate for treasurer,
stated in a speech that he had one record
no other candidate could touch. and it was
his chief Recommended tion-he had lived
with the same woman for forty years. and
they had forty children. The crowd cheer
ed and told Jennings he would get their
votes. DIR. Zimmerman, the incumbent.
stated that he had known Georgian
who had four wives and forty-two chill
dren. Mr.. Jennings later said that the
go was ship of the tongue-he meant
"a children.
One candidate for lieutenant governor,
declared that, if elected he would not
hire "niggers' at 80 day to wash out
spittoons in the Senate. when worthy
white men would be glad of the job; his
competitor got the crowd by retorting
that he would not let a white man do such
an office for him.
There are thirty candidates "
every day and despite the time limits
against which all protest the meetings
last seven hours. Whisky is discussed
about six hours a day.

CORPORATION LAW NuLLlT1ED.
sOuth Carolina Supreme Court Rem
ders Important Decision.

SOuth Carolina Supreme Court Rem
ders Important Decision.
Columbia, S. c.. Aug. 4-The state Su-
preme Court has handed down a decision
which nulliies the act which was intend
ed to domestcate foreign corporations
doing business in this state by requiring
the corporations to take out charters I'M
der the laws of this state
The decision is far reaching and means
that when sued for amounts exceeding
5000, such corporations have to be sued
through the United States Circuit Court,
and cannot be sued through the state
courts. This holds whether the corpora
ton has been rechartered in this state or
not.
In order to render this decision the Su-
preme Court was compelled to reverse its
decision in the case of Mathis vs. the
Southern Railway. but states that in do
ing so, 1t is bound by the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court. The action
was brought in the Court of Common
Pleas for Fairfield county for damages
for the alleged negligent killing of plain
tiffs's husband by the defendant corpor-
alton and resulted in judgment in favor
of the PLAINTIFF for $500. Dozens of cases
pending in state courts are thus knocked
out During the last spring state courts
have given heavy verdicts against inter-
state roads in numerous cases.

TWO YOUNG BOYS DROWNED.
WERE CHILDREN OF PROMIENT
VALDOsTA PARENTS.

Went in Bathing With other Boys
in n Deep POol-Wire to which
They Were CIinging Broke, and as
they Could Not Swim, They Were
Drowned-Sad Scene at the Home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Parramore.
Valdosta Ga, Aug. 4.-Valdosta is in
deep gloom over the tidings of the tragedy
Of two young sons of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Parramore.
Both of the children, Frank and Her
man, were drowned while bathing in
nool in Pine Park, the pool having been
,sed during the exposition last year for
the diving elks and horses.
The heavy rains of the summer have
kept it filed with water, and many of
the boys of the city have gone out there
90 so in bathing. Some of them had
stretched a wire across the place and
those who could not swim swung 10 the
wire and played in the water.
At nearly O'clock this evening seven
little boys from the city were playing in
the pool when the wire broke. Neither
of the Parramore children could swim
and were drowned before help could reach
them.
The other boys managed TO get out of
the place and their shrieks attracted the
attention of some workmen on the state
fair buildings. The men at first thought
the children were playing, and there was
some delay in answering the alarm, the
boys having been accustomed to laugh
and yell while bathing in the pool.
The bodies Brought Out.
Hiram Mathis, brick mason went 10
the rescue when he saw that the screams
were occasioned by some serious happen
ing, and he leaped in the water and
brought both of the bodies out. He made
every effort 10 resusciate them, but it was
of no avail. A messenger was sent to the
city 10 summon physicians and to inform
the father of the lads of the dreadful hap
pening.
Several physicians responded and
large number of people went to the scene
The bodies of the two boys were placed in
a wagon and started to the city before
any of the doctors arrived.
1t is said that the two bodies were re-
covered by Mr.. Mathis in ten minutes
after the drowning, but all effort to re-
store them was of no avail.
1t is said. too, that grown negro was
in the pool bathing at the time the trag-
edy occurred but that he was too badly
frightened to make any effort to save the
lads. The water in the pool ranges from
two to ten feet deep, though it is not over
eight feet wide
The scene at Mr.. Parramore's home
this evening, as the dead bodies of his
two bright boys were brought home, was
touching in the extreme. The Oldest was
u and the younger years of age. The
funerals will take place tomorrow. The
tragedy caused universal sorrow and the
parents, whose hearts and hopes are torn
and shattered by the sudden and appalling

of Erection-Other Matters.
Tennille, Ca, Aug. 4.-Among the latest
enterprises here in the building line is a
large brick cotton warehouse, which is be-
ing erected by the Tennille Improvement
Company. and large brick building which
will be used by H. S. Hatch as livery
and sale stable.
The cotton crop in Washington this
year is fairly good This county produces
bout 81, 600 bales annually, one-third or
which Is handled in Tennille. The cree
ton of new cotton warehouse In Ten
nile will save the farmers considerable
money in the way of charges for handling
and storage. The price heretofore charged
NV the warehouse here and i'm Sandersville
has been 50 cents per bale, but since work
has heen commenced on the new ware
house in Tennille, the price has been re-
d,,ced 10 q cents. There Is no likelihood
that the price will be cut any lower.

Hon. Pope Barrow of Savannah, repre-
senting the Savannah, Florida and West

roadbed of the Savannah, Florida and
Western, Brunswick and Western and
Charleston and Savannah since 1890. Con-
troller General Wright claims that in that
time the property has greatly increased in
desirability and value, and his assess
ment, he claims, represents near as
possible what the roadbed is worth The
line of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern was returned by the road some weeks
ago at $500 a mile. This estimate was
raised by the state to $4,000 a mile The

turned at $500 mile, and this was in
creased to 5000.
