A Lucky Woman.

The federal court Of appeals at New
Orleans on Wednesday sustained Mrs.
Annie E. Shows claim to one-eigh-
teenth life interests in the wells in the
Veatch survey, the richest portion OF
the Beaumont oil fields. Mrs. Snow
keeps small hotel in California and
paid no attention to the waste lands
until oil was discovered when she set
up her claim for the share inherited
through her children. Some Of the
comprnies compromised with her, but
others fought the case through the
courts to lose in the end. There are
already 12O wells on the survey, and
in addition to the compromises it is
said she will receive about $4,000 a
month. The court appointed T. Tai
iaferro, of Houston, auditor to keep
accounts and make returns Of Mrs.
Shows share through the courts. To-
days decision is final.

Horse and Mule Meat for Food.

The assistant state food commits
sioner Of Illinois has just made the
startling announcement that the flesh
of horses, mules and donkeys is sold in
large quantities In Chicago as beef" y"
Apart from the influence Of the imag-
ination on the palate, it can be con.
ceived that healthy, well fed young
horse or mule which Is not the vet
eran OF too many wars could be con-
verted into an article Of food as cleanly
and wholesome as that obtained from
the hog. The idea Of exposing for
sale horse roasts or donkey steaks IS
not in itself particularly startling, but
this food officer asserts that the
equine slaughter houses work up into
food old and infrm and even diseased
animals. "Ringboned, spawned and
sore footed nags and even those that
have the glanders" are killed and sold
for food, says the commissioner. II
this be true, it IS plainly the duty OF
the Illinois food commission to prompt
ly haul up the offenders before the
criminal courts. The allegation OF
such things points out the necessity
of applying to the meat trade the oleo-
margarine rule. Horse neat should
oe SO branded and marked that those
who wish equine steaks OF roasts can
get them at horse meat prices and
those who want real beef can be GER
tain that they are not getting the flesh
OF horses and mules.

To Run for Senate.

The Columbia State says Thursday
night when visited by representative
Of The State and asked il the report
that his father, Congressman William
Elliott, would be candidate for the
United States senate in the coming
primary, Mr.. William Elliott, Jr., Of
Columbia, confirmed the report. He
declined to have more to say Of the
matter than that be was authorized
to confirm the report. Congressman
Elliott is at present representing the
First congressional district in the
lower house of congress. He has
served a number Of terms in the house
and is thoroughly familiar with affairs
Of State in Washington. His friends
predict that be will make a strong
race for the senate.

that if they were SO considered he
would withdraw them. The chair (MF.
Frye said that by unanimous consent
they might be withdrawn, but Mr..
Dietrich Of Nebraska, objected. The
includent was closed without further
comment
The following is the resolution sub
mitted by the committees and which
was adopted as stated:
THAT it is the Judgement Of the
senate that the senators from South
Carolina, Benjamin R. I'illman and
John L. McLaurin, for disorderly be-
hayior and tiagrant violation of the
rules of the senate during the open
session of the senate on the 22d day of
February, INST, deserve the censure
Of the senate and they are hereby
censured for their breach Of the priv
ileges and dignity Of this body: and
from and after the adoption Of this re-
solution the order adjudging them in
contempt Of the senate shall be no
longer in force and effect"
The report Of the majority Of the
committee said the offences Of the two
senators were not of equal gravity, but
that they thought that both senators
should be censured alike. The Demo
cratic members Of the committee dis
sented from some Of the report, but
approved Of the resolution Of censure.
A minority of the Republicans wanted
Tillman punished severer than Nc
Laurin. They recommended that
Senator McLaurin be suspended from
his functions as senator for five days
and that Senator Tillman be suspend
ed for twenty days.
The adoption OF the majority report
ends the matter. and Tillman and Ne
Laurin are in good standing once
more.

Five People Murdered.

wednesday night it was discovered
that FIVE OF the six members Of the
Earl family, living 8 miles from
Welch, La, had been murdered and
that the head Of the house had dlsap-
peared. No search has yet been made
for his body, although it is generally
believed that he has been killed. His
wife had the whole front Of her face
mashed in with some blunt instrument.
One Of her sons had been shot through
the head and the threats Of two others
had been cut. None Of the family had
been seen since Thursday last, and it
is thought that they were killed on
that night. There is no clue to the
perpetrator of the dead. The Earls
originally came from Iowa.

TRAGEDY AND ROMANCE.
White Man and Negro Hanged in
AshevilEe for Burglary.

At Ashvilie, n. c., wednesday
Dudley johnson and Ben Foster were
hanged at 1880 for burglary. The
bodies were given church burial dur
Ing the afternoon. Burglary at night
in North Carolina IS a capital ofense
and Wednesdays executions were the
final chapter in a case attended by
many exciting incidents, in which a
fance came to a hospital and married
the man the burglars were believed to
have wounded to the death, and whose
bravery called forth letter Of praise
from Emory Smith, at that time post
master general. Four men conspired
to rob the combined postohice and
store kept by Samuel Alexander at
Emma, a little hamlet few miles
distant from Ashe7ille, on the night
of Feb. /, 1901.
Alexander was called to the door un-
der pretext Of buying groceries and at
the point Of a revolver was searched
and disarmed. He was then forced to
open the safe. Dudley johnson
(white) and Ben Foster (colore0 were
inside the store, and Russell Gates
(white) and Harry Mill (colore0 were
guarding the outside. Johnson was
holding a revolver at Alexander's
head when his attention was distract
ed momentarily. Like fash Alex
ander seized the revolver and snapped
it at johnson. They grappled and it
Was not until Alexander had been shot
twice and repeatedly stabbed that he
lost consciousness. Citizens were at
tracted by the shooting and the burg
lars ran. Later they were captured
and removed to Charlotte for safe
keeping. For weeks Alexander, the
hero, fingered at deaths door. In
the meantime his fance went to him
and they were married. The people
made up purse for them. The post
master general wrote Alexander a
personal letter thanking him and ex-
pressing the highest admiration for
his bravery. The four men were con-
victed of burglary and condemned to
die on August I. Gov. Aycock was
besieged with petitions for clemency
from all parts of the United States
and finally short time ago commut-
ed the sentence Of Gates and Mills to
imprisOnment for life.

SOUTH CAROLINA DAY
On Which All the People Are Asked
to Gather at Charleston

to Gather at Charleston
The goth of March has been set
aside as South Carolina Day at the
Charleston Exposition, and the effort
is being made to secure large atten-
dance from all over the State. There
will be an entertaining and attractive
programme, of course, and reduced
rates have been secured.
On the return of the legislature from
their visit to the exposition, the fol-
lowing joint resolution was adopted,
and expresses fully the views Of the
members as to the exposition:
Whereas the Board Of Directors Of
the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition company did
extend an invitation to the general
assembly Of South Carolina to visit
the exposition now being held in the
city of Charleston under the endorse
ment of the State Of South Carolina,
and
Whereas the general assembly did
accept said invitation, and visited the
said exposition on the 7th and 9Th Of
February, inst, and
Whereas the members Of the gen.
eral assembly deem it proper to eX-
press to the board Of directors Of the
exposition company and to the people
Of the State at large their opinion Of
the said exposition, be it therefore
Resolved, That having viewed the
exposition, the grounds, buildings and
exhibits therein contained, we unhesi-
tatingly and unqualifedly say to the
management Of the exposition, and to
the people Of South Carolina, that ne
found the exposition in every respect
far in excess of our expectations, and
that in many ways there are object
lessons to be seen at the exposition
which are of advantage to every citi-
zen of our State.
Resolved, That it is the opinion Of
the general assembly that special
South Carolina day should be named,
and March 10th is suggested as suit
able day, and it is recommended to the
people of the entire State that they
assemble at the exposition on. that
date and inspect the resources and in
dustries of our State, so fully exhib-
tied in South Cardinals building, as
well as view the great industries and
resources Of other sections Of our
country, and to be able to judge i'm
partially of a city and it's people who
conceived and carried through pro-
ject which will unquestionably be OF
great advantage to the entire State
and its people.
Resolved, further, That the governor
be, and he is hereby, authorized and
requested to have these resolutions
published throught the State, and to
arrange through the State exposition
commission for such public exercises
on the exposition grounds as he may
deem necessary on that date.
The management Of the exposition
company have accepted the suggestion
for March goth as "State Day" and
have arranged with the railroad lines
running into the city for exceedingly
lew rates from all points throughout
the State to Charleston for this oc-
casion. These rates will be published
in a few days.

Alarming Death Rate.

Medical reports state that there is
an alarming death rate among infants
throughout Russia. In many places
40 per cent, so per cent, and even
more, Of the children die in their first
year. This great mortality is attrib-
uted mainly to ignorance and neglect.
The mothers work in the fields while
their little ones are left alone. In
one government the mortality Of in
fants among Christians is said to be
1927 per 1000, while the death rate
among children Of Mohammedan pa
rents is 1904 per 1000. The Moham-
medan law compels the mother to
nurse her child.

BOYS Run Away.

-Four young boys from y to l6 years
ran away from their homes at Green
wood Thursday. The anxious parents
have so far failed to locate them.
Two Of the boys are brothers, dark
skinned and dark hair, the third boy
is light haired; the fourth boy is very
frail and has dark hair. Three wear
knee pants. It is believed that they
left Greenwood on the north bound
Seaboard freight. Any information
about these four boys should be sent

Lost Mines Found.

Spanish annals declare that between
1000 and 100 the Tapaya mines in
Mexico. produced $50, 100000 and af-

WHERE TIE SWORD IS.

The sword is now in the Carolina
National Bank, under the direction OF
Lieutenant Governor Tillman, and it
appears that, as he has raised the
fund with which to purchase the
sword, he has taken charge Of the ar
rangementS for it's presentation and
custody. As far as it is known none
of the contributors to the fund have
been consulted with reference to the
change OF the original plans as to the
presentation of the sword. Col. Till
man has made all Of the arrangements
so far and presumably takes the posi-
eion that be has a right to change his
mind after the president recalled the
: Prince Henry Dinner invitation, and
no one other than Col. Iillman had
anything to do with the telegram to
President Roose 7elt, If it was really
sent. It is in no way a State matter
or one in which the State has any part
officially or otherwise.
CHARLESTON INDIGNANT.
The Charleston correspondent Of
the Columbia State says Lieut.. Gov.
Tillman J. H. Tillman's action in
asking the president to withdraw his
acceptance OF the invitation to pre-
sent the sword to Maj. Micah jenkins
is generally, and among some people,
very severely condemned, in Charles,
ton. 1t is feared that the action OF
the lieutenant governor will hurt the
exposition and may be the means OF
calling OF the proposed trip Of the presl'
dent toCharleston. There is feeling al
so that the army officer may be hurt by
the action Of Lieut. Gov. Tillman,
Mai. jenkins has been especially be-
friended by President Roosevelt and
although the officer has had no part
in the present, regrettable affair, there

THE TWO SENATORS CENsURED.
Senators McLaurin and TiIman of
South Carolina Friday were severely
cenSured by the United States Senate
for their recent little scrap. Imme-
diately after the senate convened Fri
day, Mr.. Burrows, chairman Of the
committee on privileges and elections,
to which the McLaurin-Tillman con-
troversy had been referred, reported
the resolution censure framed by a
majority Of the committee.
A brief statement was presented by
Senators Bailey, Blackburn, Pettus,
Foster and Dubois, Democratic men,
bers Of the committee, dissenting from
some Of the conclusions Of the majori-
ty. They agreed, however, to the
resolution offered. A minority report
was presented by Senators McComas,
Beveridge and Pritchard, Republicans,
who maintained that the adoption OF
a resolution Of censure was not suffi-
cient punishment. The resolution
was adopted by a vote Of 54 to y.
When Mr.. Tillman's name was
caused he added a new sensation to
the proceedings by rising and saying
with i'll concealed emotion: Among
gentlemen an apology for an offense
committed under heat Of blood IS usu-
ally considered sufficient"
At the request Of Mr.. Burrows the
statement Of Tillman was read by the
clerk. Instantly the South Carolina
senator disclaimed any intention Of
being offensive to the senate and said
