sexual weakness when the proper remedies
are employed. The Institute makes no re-
strictions. Any man who writes will be

The racing features promise to be
decidedly the best ever given here.
When it is remembered that the south

seen to mean something. There are
over one hundred fast flyers on the
string which is to come here wee .

harness horses. The race features will
contain several races between horses
having records of 2:14. The string of
PAGERS includes some even lower than
that.

of live stock will embrace some of the
finest herds of cattle, sheep, hogs etc.
in the country.
The midway features promise to be
unusually attractive, contracts having
been made for some of the very best
attractions at Atlanta, Augusta and
other southern fairs this year.
The outlook now is that large crowd
will be in attendance upon the fair.

victor Rivers, colored, was shot
.nrongh the heart and killed instantly
Nv an English sailor called "Cockney'
an early hour this morning. The
tragedy occurred near the "Red Light"
soloon. an East Side resort, where
rivers was employed as a piano play
or The resort is a place frequented
Nv seafearing men and is well. but not
favorably, known to the police.
II appears that Rivers and Emma
Green were close friends, and that the
woman was in the saloon shortly be-
fore the closing hour. She got into
conversation with several Of the sail
ors and Rivers became angered.
The piano player struck the woman
q singing blow in the face and cursed
her for having engaged in converse
ton with the scattering men. Rivers
anpeared to be insanely Jealous of the
Fnglishman called Cockney.
When the place closed, the crowd of
sailors. together with the several ne
gro women. left the place and the pi-
ano player followed. The saloon, or
dance hall. is located on Reynolds
street lust back of Gas House Hill,
and in one of the worst parts of the
East Side. The place where the shoot
ing occurred was very dark, and the
police were unable to get a very clear
idea of lust how the fatal shot was
fired.
The shooting was not discovered by
the officers until after the murderer had
made his escape, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that Sergt. McCool
was able to obtain any information at
all. 1t was gathered that the man
known as "Cockney' fired at the negro
at close range, and Immediately es-
capped under the cover of darkness. The
bullet entered Rivers heart, and he
never spoke after being shot.
Four sailors who were in the saloon
when Rivers slapped the Green wo-
man were placed under arrest by Sergt.
McCool, but no information could be
obtained from them. They are believed
by the police to know the man who did
the shooting. The Green woman was
also placed under arrest along with an
other woman who was in the dance
hall
The city detectives were put to work
on the case and are making very eff
fort to locate the murderer on the
water front The Green woman wit
messed the tragedy, but was not very
communicative when placed under ar
rest. She was the real cause of the
homicide and is held by the police as
an accessory

McswEENY is SURPRISED.
Governor of South Carolina Crtti-
cises President Roosevelt.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 19-Gov. Nc
Sweeny in a statement made for pub
LEGATION this evening severely criticized
President Roosevelt for having Booker
Washington dine with him. He was
astonished, he said. that the President
should have made such blunder. The
people North and South are not ready
for social equality with the negro:
However much Washington is admired
in the South, he would not be asked TO
dine at the family table of any repre-
sentative citizen. The Presidents act
would certainly hurt the negro ana
would hurt Roosevelt. The Governor
was SURPRISED that Washington, who
has maintained a position opposed to
social equality, should have accepted
the Presidents invitation. 1t would,
he thought, injure Washingtons inf1u-
ence in the South.
