Lives OF Two Emperors Attempted by Nihilists.

London, August 17.-Russia dispatches
describe daring attempt to assassinate
the Kaiser and Gar together at Reval.
while the two monarchs were dining to-
gether on the Kaser's yacht, the Hohen-
zollern.
A launch bearing five men came along
sides. She looked exactly like Russian
man. of-war launch, and one of the ruff
fans wore the uniform of Russian
officer, while the other four wore the
uniform of Russian seamen.
In reality they were Russian Nihilists
bent on assassination.
The man in the officers uniform board
ed tho Hohenzollern and informed the
officer of the watch that he belonged to
the Cars yacht, the STANDARD, and had
urgent messages for the Czar's immedi-
ate perusal. Owing to the urgency of
his commission he asked to be taken to
the Car without delay.
AS the officer of the watch started to
show him below, the Captain of the
Standard appeared on deck. He heard
that one of his officers desired to see
him and confronted the disguised Nihi-
list, who drew pistol and tried to cover
his retreat to tho launch, but after q
fight was disarmcd and arrested.
The four accomplices in the launch
steamed away during the confusion and
evaded che patrol boats, although they
secured tho sea all night. The ring
leader confessed his intention was to
kill the two Emperors at one time.

Atlanta, August I7.-Col. VIM. Arnold
Hemphill, founder and for many years
business manager of the Atlanta COnsti-
tuition, died tonight at his residence in
this city. Col. Hemphll had been in
somewhat feeble health for a number OF
months, but his condition was not re-
garded as serious, and his death was a
great shock to the entire city.
Col. Hemphill was 60 years of age,
having been born in Athens, Ga, May is,
1912. He was graduated from the State
University of Georgia in 1861, and in the
same year enlisted in the Confederate
army, fighting with conspicuous gal
lantry to the end of the war, and being
severely wounded in the battle of Gettys,
burg. He removed to Atlanta in 1867,
and soon after founded tho Constitu-
ton, of which he was one of the princi-
pal owners until January, 1902, when he
disposed of his interest in the paper.
He served as alderman and mayor of
Atlanta, and as president of the Capital
City Bank, the Atlanta Trust and Bank
ing Company and the Atlanta Street Car
Company. He has several times been
prominently mentioned as the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Georgia.
Col. Hemphill was twice married, his
second marriage taking place within the
past year. He is survived by widow,
two sons and three daughters. He was
communicant of the Methodist Episco-
pal church.
The cause of death was apoplexy. He
was downtown on Saturday afternoon
attending to some matters of business,
and even drove to church this morning,
but, becoming suddenly ill., decided to
return homo without entering.

Aged janitor Sells Himself for 81, 900.

Knoxville, Tenn, August 14.--In a
peculiar way story has come to light
which has no equal recorded since Che
day the slave mart was abolished here.

State Supreme Court, sold himself to
Gerald Stuart, Clerk of the Court, for
$1,000. For this sum he agrees In a
written contract to servo and obey
Stuart as his legal master from now until
the time of his death.
The origin of the unique deal ia that
Logan has lately found himself involved
In certain debts which worried him a
great deal, and to get rid of them he
sought this means of raising the ready
money. The thousand dollars are to be
paid to him at once. He Is 60 years of
age and has many white friends of the

Wlth him, both being reared in old

our early school training here. We were

friend, in companionship, In eye olden
days. that Wyatt was always with us.
In those, earlier years of his life, his
heart and hand wore, as now, at the SER

stranger IN need. He was always on

after years, when he was i'm a position to
do so. He has never forgotten any of

in his earlier years the old Cokesbury

venture to say that no man in this Dis
trict is more thoroughly posted on the
questlons OF the day. He is an all-round
pu6lic.spirited citizen, and is in touch
with all the people of the District.
IL has been said, and truthfully SO,
that Wyatt Aiken would give the last
dollar he possessed to poor man in
need and trouble, but he is not more
generous than he is true to friend and
loyal to principle by nature. A man of
the people, and hi. training and life ex-
periences have ken; him so. He is the
man we want to represent us from the
Third District in Congress.
1t has been said that he would be a
failure as q public speaker, that he could
not make speech; that he could not
cope in argument with his associates in
Congress. That delusion has been dis
PEELED; l have heard him and 1 want to
say that he can convince his hearers on
the public questions of the day. He has
develop ed into strong stump speaker,
and can take care of himself in any dis.
cussion on any forum. But after all is
said, it is not the spread eagle orator
that "makes things come to pass" in
Congress or elsewhere. M.

OF INTENSE INTEREST TO FARMERS.
How High Priced Beef and Cotton Seed
Are Related.

The Texas Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association at late meeting held In
Texas, passed a resolution confirming
that the high price of beef was due to
n shortage in seed products. The fol-
lowing taken from the Cotton and
Farm Journal, throws some light upon
this subject:
"The rules adopted by the Texas
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puts
1t In line with the other associations Of
a similar kind in the South. 1t is prob
able that there will be no more inVas-
ion Of Mississippi and Alabama by
Texas mills In search of seed.
1.-THE cattlemen who were expected
here to expostulate over their alleged
bad treatment during the past year
have not put In appearance as yet, and
may not, The crushers do not seem
concerned over the threat of some Of
the cattlemen to operate their own
mills. The fact tina. the Swift Com
pany has recently purchased half
dozen mills at different points was
not commented on by any of the crush
the effect that Swift would probably
be able to use more feed than those
mills would provide.
"A resolution was adopted deprecat-
ing any act of congress that may tend
to reduce the price of cattle and hogs
and alleging that the present high
price of meat Is due to shortage In
seed products.
This would seem to show there were
two sides to this question Of high beef
and that in so far as Texas is concerned
the price OF beef Is bound to vary with
the price OF cotton seed hulls and cot
ton seed meal. In proportion as the
grass area of Texas has diminished,
the cattle -raisers have been compelled
to buy feed stuffs, and the only avail
able feed-stuffs in quantity is cotton
seed hulls and cotton seed meal. Hulls
have been selling within the last year
or two In Texas as high as $14 a ton.
This means that the meat supply in
the future is largely dependent upon
,, the cotton seed oil business, and that
the people Of the Southeastern States
will probably go much more extensively
into the business of raising cattle for
beef purposes after they find out as
much about the values of hulls and
meal as the Texas cattle man has
found out by the necessities of the
case. 1t would seem as though the
eastern farmer now has the advantage
Of the Texan in raising cattle for beeH
purposes and in handling cattle for
dairy purposes.
All the cotton seed products that are
needed for cattle raising and compe-
tition with other markets can be had
right at home through the Southern
Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas
and Georgia, through any u it's mills
or It's headquarters at Columbia, s. c.,
Charlotte, N. c., Goldsboro, NJ c., At
ianta. Ga, Augusta, Ca, and Savan-
nah, Ga.

Hon. John Gary Evans for the Senate.

On tomorrow will close tho most
thorough canvass ever made in South
Carolina for the nomination of United
States Senator. The six gentlemen who
are the aspirants for this high and dis
tinguished honor, have stubbornly con-
tested every inch of the ground. 1t is
generally conceded that John Gary
Evans has developed more strength be-
fore the great masses of the people than
any of his opponents. This can only be
accounted for in two ways: first, his
forcible and logical presentation of the
live and profound national issues before
the country; and second, the masses of
South Carolina still remember with
pride his sturdy championship of their
interests in the days gone by. On tho
28th instant, when the verdict of the
people shall have been rendered, If
John Gary Evans is not in the second
race there will be none. Watch! Voter.
