KING EDWARD WI.
His Coronation Indefinitely Postponed on Ac
count Of a Surgical Operation.

The coronation of King Edward VII
of Great Britain, did not take place last
Thursday, as had been arranged. The
coronation ceremonies commenced on
Monday on scale the like of which has
probably not been undertaken in modern
times, and the British people throughout
the world were looking forward with
eager anticipation to the supreme event
-of Thursday. But the coronation was
not to be. There had been conflicting
rumors of the state of the kings health
for weeks. Sometimes the story was
that his majesty was at the point of
death, and then again it was stated that
he had not felt better for years. The
general public had no way Of getting at
the truth and the coronation prepare
tions continued without cessation. Lon
don was filled with visiting royalty,
special embassies and sightseers from ali
over the earth. For several weeks preyi-
GUS the gayety in this mighty capital has
been on an unprecedented scale. On
Tuesday, however, the physical condition
or the king could be concealed no longer.
Although King Edward is represented
as having made heroic efforts to bear up
until the conclusion of the coronation
ceremony, the progress of the disease
had been too great. The surgeons de-
cided that an immediate operation was
necessary to save life of the king They
ououBue InaC Gne GrOuOlo was due TO aD-
pendicitis and they operated for that.
After they. had cut into the appendix,
however, they found that they had been
deceived as to the exact nature of the
trouble. But there had been no mistake
in the cutting. Near by there was a
large abcess that was filled with pus, and
this was opened. 1t is claimed that but
for the operation the king would have
died in few hours. The king stood the
operation well, and shortly after the
operation itewas stated that although the
condition of the king was critical, the
trouble would not necessarily prove fatal :;
but at the same time the coronation
must be Indefinitely postponed. 1t was
the wish of the king that all the celebra-
tions be carried out as originally con-
templated as far as possible, but the
people had no heart for such work under
the circumstances, and what was in-
tended to have been day of enthusias-
tic joy became day of public and pri-
vate prayer. At this writing, july 1st,
King. Edward has passed the crisis in
his disease and is gradually and surely
recovering. All his symptoms are hope
full and encouraging.

Will Barney Evans Ever be Tried Z

Will Barney Evans ever be triedp More
than year ago he killed railroad man
in Columbia under peculiar crcum-
stances and was indicted for it, but has
never yet faced jury to answer for the
crime. Court has convened three times
in that county since the homicide and
each time there has been a continuance,
and there may probably be some reason
for continuance when the Court sits
again. At any rate, if he is brought to
trial something like eighteen months
will have elapsed since the homicide
On the face of it this looks like an un-
reasonable delay. He is the brother of
an Ex-Governor, but no more favors
should have been shown to him than any
other man indicted for murder. There
are men now serving out their sentences
Tor murder or manslaughter committed
since Evans killed his man and there
appears an element of favoritism shown
him to delay the trial in order that it
may somewhat fade out of the public
mind. Barney Evans should be brought
to trial just like any other man.--Ander-

Loggins VS.. the Railroad.

Tho State Supreme Court had handed
down decision reversing the verdict
given in the Circuit Court in the case of
Loggins against tho Southern Railway,
which was tried in this county.
Loggins was a passenger on q train
between Seneca and Westminster and
was disorderly. The conductor put him
of the train and Loggins sued the rail
road company for $4,000 damages. The
case was tried in this county and the
jury gave verdict for 500. The rail
road company carried the case to the
Supreme Court That tribunal has re-
vcrsed the verdict of the lower Court,
but the grounds for the decision have
not yet been filed. E. G. McAdams is
Loggins's lawyer
The conductor of the train claimed
that Loggins was very unruly and dis.
orderly, and the railroad company prose
cuted him in the Sessions Court in
Oconee county for disorderly conduct
and disturbing the peace, but failed to
secure a conviction. Loggins has now
commenced a suit for damages against
the railroad company for malicious prose
cution, but this case has not yet been

Big Cotton Fire in Columbia.

Columbia, June 27.-There was $780,
600 cotton fire here early this morning.
The fire alarm was rung in at about 2.3O
o'clock, although the fire must have
started sumo time before that hour. The
watchman first discovered smoke coming
from the upper part of the west side of
the building used by the Columbia Cot
ton Mills. The fire department went
promptly to the scene of the fire and
managed to conflne the fire to Compart-
ment d., of the old Congaree Cotton
Mill, which is now being used as ware
house by the Columbia Mills, of the
Mount Vernon, Woodbury. Duck Com
pany. There were between 600 and TOO
bales of cotton in Compartment D.,
which was attacked by the fire, and the
estimate is that fully Is per cent dam
age was sustained. The exact number
of bales in the compartment has not yet
been figured, but it is estimated that it
will run up between 600 and TOO, which
would make the value of the cotton
alone about 100000. This was fully COW
Grad by insurance, there being altogether
about 1000 bales of cotton in the ware
house, and the total insurance on the
entire cotton stored being about $500, 900.

roll of the steel corporation by $4, ,OOO, 900.
The advance applies to union as we'll as
non-union men. Strictly speaking, the
advance applies to non-tonnage men of
every constituent company of the corpo-
ration. This decision has just been
reached by the executive committee of
the United States Steel Corporation after
conferences with the highest officials of
the underlying concerns. The first men
to profit by the increase were those of
the Carnegie Steel Company. In the
Pittsburg district something like 10000
men will be entitled to the increase.

My love and l stood alone;
We heard the night wind sigh and moan
Among the evergreen tall pines;
Saw their grotesque, long shadows sway
And dance together, ever gay,
With clinging shadows of the vines.
The bosom Of the placid lake
A mirror for the stars did make
A mirror with the sky's blue hue.
The moon threw kisses to the earth,
Which filled the twinkling stars with
mirth
Up in the Heavens misty blue.
My heart caught up the night wind sigh
When came the time to say goodbye;
MY love, be faithful, ever true"
So gently said my lover dear;
Then, softly whispered in my ear:
"pm coming back, sweetheart for you"
My gallant lover rode away,
And ere the dawning of the day
Was marching, marching with his men,
All soldiers, trusted, true and brave.
Was it the victory or the grave
So many pulsing hearts would win
'Tis naught, a story often told
A battlefeld; blood not yet cold;
The dying captain, his men raise
And hear him murmur soft, "Be true;
I'm coming back, sweetheart, for you,
From Heavens gold and flower maze"
Years have gone by; my head bends low
My hair is white as drifted snow;
gaze up into Heavens blue,
And dream l hear tho angels sing
Wait for the message they will bring:
"Tm coming back, sweetheart, for YOU"

LATlMER AND EVANS.
They Created Some Excitement at Marion Last
Friday and at Conway on Monday.
TYorkville Enquirer. !

OrkVllle Enquirer
The most exciting incident of
the Senatorial campaign developed
at Marion last Friday. The relations
between Messrs. A. G. Latimer and
John Gary Evans have been strained
since last summer, when it was de-
veloped that both would be in the
race for the Senate. At Marion last
Friday Mr.. Latimer referred to GER
tain criticisms that Mr.. Evans had
made of him, and charged that he
(Evans) had came to Washington
and suggested that he Uatimer) run
for the Senate. The following story
of the incident is as reported by the
representative of the Columbia State
and News and Courier:
Mr.. Evans "You suggested it.,
but | did not want you," and then
Evans added, "You invited any one
to raise their finger and point to any
public acts of yours that was not a
credit to your State. Here is some.
thing that DR.. J. William Stokes,
whom we all know to have been an
honorable, brave and truthful man as
ever lived, and was at that time a
member of Congress from the 7th
District, wrote about you and had
published in The Yorkville En-
quirer y
Mr.. Latimer 81 know every word
in it, and | will tell you, fellow-citi-
zens, all about it,"
Mr.. Evans "Fellow- citizens, here
is the proof that Latimer peddled
pictures in the House, had his farm
stocked with seed by the government
and rode on and distributed free
passes over railroads to his friends
in violation of the law"
The confusion by this time was so
great that it was hard to understand
distinctly what was said the volcano
which had smouldered for weeks
was now sending out red-hot cam
paign rocks, gas and Shiny black
mud.
MIR. Latimer turned to the crowd
and said that Mr.. Wilson, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, had come down
to Due West, wanting to make ex-
perlments, and that he had furnished
the government the land, guano and
labor free of charge and never had
been reimbursed by the government.
When Bryan spoke at Due West he
had asked the railroad to furnish
them a train, and they did so, and
came down and invited all who
cared to come with them. Tillman
and Norton were with the crowd.
They went on TO Cuba.
On another occasion Oast winter)
he and party came down to Char
lesion to the Exposition, bringing
with them Mr.. Littlefeld, who was
80 pleased with what he saw in the
South that he went back to Wash
ington and made speech against the
Crumpacker force bill, after having
previously advocated it.
He had noted that Mr.. Evans had
often spoken about being "hounded
down" in the McLaurin campaign.
and he had heard that Evans had
said that he would put piasters all
over him in this campaign, and added
significantly that there are other
places besides the rostrum where
such differences can be settled. DIR
Stokes wanted to run in that cam,
paign for the Senate, and that was
why he made that attack on him

the floor, and said that il the matter
was pushed to an ultimatum it would
not occur on the stand and read ex-
tracts from the Newspaper, and when
he came to the charge that Latimei
had offered and rendered DR.. Stokes
an annual free pass over Western
trunk line. and that he (Stokes) had
declined and returned it to him.
Mr.. Latimer 81 emphatically de-
ny it,"
Mr.. Evans, turning to the crowd
"We all know what an honorable
high-toned, truthful gentleman was
DIR. Stokes, and now Mr.. Latimer de.
nies his statement as being emphati-
cally untrue" and, turning to Mr.
Latimeb added "May God have
mercy on your soul !"
Mr.. Latimer: "There is not word
of truth in it,"
The meeting adjourned under in
tense excitement. If the matter
comes up again the clipping will be
published in full.
Renewed at Conway.
The controversy came up again at
Conway on Monday. Mr.. Evans
read clipping from The Enquirer
of last summer that included ex-
tracts from letters in which DR..
Stokes made the charges that are
referred TO above. Mfr. Latimer ex-
planned at length. He told how he
had saved DR.. Stokes's seat in the
House, and how DR.. Stokes had
thanked him with tears in his eyes.
He said that Stokes was jealous of
him for having increased the free
seed appropriation over Stokes's
protest. He said that Mr.. w. d.
Grist, representing strong anti
Tillman paper (The News and Cou-
rier) in 1900, was unfair to him in
the report of the Tirzah meeting.
He denied that DR.. Stokes deserved
any credit for free rural delivery, the
bill having passed before the doctor
went to Congress. AS to the pic
ture business, he said that thirty or
forty Congressman ordered pictures
from seeing one in his hands while
he was looking at it, and that the
maker of the pictures gave him a
complimentary copy. He admitted
that he had taken his family to Sara
toga on free pass, and claimed that
DR.. Stokes and wife had used pass
that he procured for them. On the
occasion of the Due West junket,
he and friends had paid $3.50 for
Pullman and the railroad hauled
it free. He pointed out certain
benefits that had been derived
from bringing Republicans South,
where they could see conditions for
themselves. He denied that he had
ever given DR.. Stokes a free pass on
trunk line; but said that DR..
Stokes did get such pass through
the mail while staying at his (Lati-
mer's) home. He had told the doc
tor to use his own judgment about
retaining it; that most Congressman
used free transportation. He claimed
that no member of his family had
held office except himself; that his
son was appointed to a position
without his knowledge. His son is
now going to school. He wanted to
know whether Evans could say the
same with regard to office holding in
his family. Evans to Latimer: "You
charged in the McLaurin campaign
that l stole $4,000. That cannot
be true for / am not in the peniten-
tiary." Latimer to Evans: eyes
and you charged that Tillman had
lined his pockets with rebates" To
this Evans made no reply.
