Evans LatImpr Controversy Reaches q
Critical Point.

st. Georges, July 12-The Senate
rial and Congressional meeting was
held here in the Court House to-day in
the presence Of about 800 people. A
number of ladies occupied seats in the
jury box" and were interested specta-
tUrs of all that transpired
he meeting was divided into two
sessions, one i'll the forenoon, the other
In the afternoon.
he morning session was not without
incident. Messrs. Evans and Lntimer
were Int it, again, and Mt one time if
looked like there would be- a fight
within the bnr of the Court room, but
the sheriff of Colleton. ian adjoining
county.) put stop to the matter.
1t came about iii this way: nir. Evans
prodded Mr.. Latimer in tho same way
anu on the same matters which had
been brought out mt previous meetings.
MIR. Lutimer made about the same re-
tutations and eaid that they, meaning
the RetOrmers, had carried Mr.. Evans
as long rs they could and had dropped
him, and made some nllusiOn to Evans
being his friend" to which Evans re-
piled:
betrayed me like dog
Then MIR; l.atimer brought up the
$4,000 bond deal and said Evans had
been charged with it the last campaign,
nnG Evans corrected him by saying
that 1t hail only been rumOred, and
some reference was made to anony-
nous circulars in connection with Mr..
Duncans name, but their meaning was
not, clear. Mr.. Evans added that he
had denied the accusations Mt the time.
denouncing it as lie He now de-
nOunced it as such and the man who
repeats it is n liar
At this point Mr. Latimer appeared
to have reached the point where en-
durance ceased to be virtue, hence
the enactment Of the little tragedy.
The nesting proceeded without Incl
dent until after recess, when the party
went to the hotel to get dinner. Mr.
Lat;a;sT proceeded to Mr.. Evans's room
and said: "Mr. Evans,i wish to have
word with yOu," to which Mr.. Evans
replied: mo. cir. you cannot talk to
me- and walked down stairs and went
our and dined with friend.
There was no excitement. but those
who know both of the men think that
matters will soon reach crisis. Both
evidently had friends in the audience,
and the other four candidates were
perhaps the moet interested spectators.

RECORD OF THE PAST.

The best guarantee of the future Ia
the record of the past, and over fifty
thousand people have publicly testified
that Doan's Kidney Pills have cured
them of numerous kidney ills, from
common backache to dangerous dia-
betes, and all the attendant annoy
Hnces and sufferings from urinary dis
orders. They have been cured to stay
cured. Here is one case:
Samuel j. Taylor, retired carpenter,
residing at 312 South Third St., Goshen,
Ind, says: "On the 25th day of Au-
gust, 1897, 1 made an affidavit before
Jacob c. Mann, notary public, stating
my experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills 1 had suffered for thirty years
and was compelled at times to walk
by the aid of crutches, frequently
passed gravel and suffered excruciat-
ingly. I took every medicine on the
market that I heard about, and some
gave me temporary relief. I began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and the
results gave to the public in the state
ment above referred to. At this time,
on the 10Th day of July, 1902, I make
this further statement, that during
the five years which have elapsed 1
have had no occasion to use either
Doan's Kidney Pills or any other med
icine for my kidneys. The cure effect
ed was a permanent one"
A FREE TRIAL of this great Kidney
medicine which cured Mr.. Taylor will
be mailed on application to any part
of the United States. Address Foster

William Dean Howells has no consider
able reputation as a teller OF humorous
stories, but once in while an excellent
yarn is attributed to him. 1t was provoked
by the action of young author who had
been q protege of HowelPs and who when
he arrived" never lost an opportunity to
say something nice of Howells. On one
occasion the younger Author made an ad-
dress before a body of literary men in
which ne virtually asserted. that, every
thing good and great in native literature
owed its inspiration to Howells. The ad-
dress was printed far and wide and COM
mented on at length, not always in a man
ner complimentary to las author: Mr..
Howells' attention was naturally called to
the matter and he wrote his protege let
ter in which ne involved a story of two
men who, bathing at the seashore, were
seen struggling and heard crying for help.
A crowd gathered to watch the efforts OF the
life guards, who could hear above the roar
of the ocean and the noise made by the
crowd a voice believing: Save the red
haired mani Save him first! The red
haired man, sure Both men were saved
and the guards, going after the excitable
fellow on the beach in the hope al graf
uity, asked: ''Red-head chap relation o
yours, sir?' Mono relative at ALL" he
replied, but he owes me SIS"

DECEIVED BY ITS LOOKS.
Half-In1ated Balloon Was Taken by

chatter.

Some army officers who were in Cuba
with Gen. Skaters army of invasion tod
the other day an anecdote at the expense
of the commander OF that expedition. The
troops with all their paraphernalia of war
had landed ana were awaiting the order to
advance on Santiago. Staff officers were
busy carrying out the details for the ad-
vance and everywhere there was hurry and
hustle. Shafter was lying in a hammock
in front of his headquarters at Siboney,
while leo yards down the road the men of
the signal corps were initiating the gar bal
loon preparatory to making the first, as
cension. Without warning the ropes which
held it captive parted and the balloon, half.
inflated and looking for all the world like
the body and legs of a gigantic fat man,
started down the road toward Santiago
There was just enough gas in it to keep it
upright without entirely clearing the ground
and it went bobbing along, up and down,
as though it were walking. a negro soldier
passing along at that moment saw the bal
loon and shouted at the top of his voice:
eli, dar! Guess dat mus be de ole man
poin' fur de front!'

Bonds Are InyalId.

In the case of f. E. Muse, ct al,
vs.. the town Of Lexington, ct al, the
jury rendered a verdict for the COM
plainants. The question involved
was the legality of the charter of
Lexington at the time of the voting
and issuance of bonds to the amount
of $4,000 in aid of the Paducah,
Tennessee & Alabama railroad in
1898. The verdict CT the jury was
that the town of Lexington was not
incorporated at the time of the bond
issue, and hence the bonds are in
valid.

Two DesperadOes Killed.

Jim Wright and John Templeton,
noted Hancock county desperadoes,
were killed, and Wright's son was
captured by a posse of twenty-five,
headed by Joe Moss of Gate City,
Va, early one morning last week.
Templeton was instantly killed in
the first engagement about 10 o'clock
and the boy was captured simulta-
neously. Jim Wright, however, re-
treated to nearby house, where he
engaged the officers until daylight,
when he was routed out and killed,
as he could not be taken alive.
Wright was an escaped convict from
the Tennessee penitentiary, where he
was serving a sentence for murder.
Wright and Templeton are said to
have killed as many as six men
each. In the engagement last week
Wright shot and perhaps fatally
wounded George Wolf, of Spears
Ferry, Va, and Jack Rogers, of the
vicinity in which the killing oc-
Cured. The scene of action was
about sixteen miles east of Rogers
vile. Moss has been on the still
hunt for Wright and Templeton
for many weeks. Several crimes are
said to have been credited to each
of them.

THE ONLY TROUBLE.
His Arm Wasn't Long Enough to
Make Up for Deficiency
of His Eyes

When Mr.. Snow began to realize that he
was not quite as young as he had been, the
truth had a disquieting effect on him, and
made him at times very irritable. He knew
his weakness and regretted it, says Youth s
Companion. If | outlive my faculties" he
said one day to his wife, Pm afraid I'll be
the techiest man in this township"
His brother, who was bald at 80 put on
strong spectacles al 50, and lost his hearing
at 80 through the agency of fever, had no
sensitivness on any OF these points, and was
a great trial to Mr.. Snow.
One day MS brother happened to see Mr..
Snow in a cool corner of the barn, holding
the weekly paper as far away as he could get
1T, and working his head from side to side
with squinted eyes to decipher the news.
Soho! Your sights begun to fail ye at
last, said the visitor, bluntly. well,
faint surprising at your age"
Mr.. Snow turned on him an indignant
glare.
MY eyesight's all right" he roared
"The only trouble is my pesky arm isn't
long enough"
