an Electric Light. =.

Special to The State.
Florence, Aug. e. An acci-
dent little out of the usual order
occurred at Farmers ice house
here last night in which "Mannie"
Gregg, a negro porter, lost his
life. The negro grasped an in
candescent electric light, which
he had shut off but few seconds
previous, aud started to turn 1t on
again when he received shock
that killed him almost instantly.
1t is believed lightning struck the
wire, for a severe electrical storm
had just passed and the whole
atmosphere was surcharged. An
inquest was held today the YER
dict being in accordance with the
facts.

County.
Special to The State.

for office and the battle of the bal
lots was warmly resumed here to-
day. Darlingtonians seemed
somewhat enthusiastic and really
enjoyed the speeches. About
500 voters and few-but very
choice specimens of vote infucnc-
ers were out to see and hear what
was going on.
Candidates seem to be getting
more fervent in spirit as the days
60 by. Today their fevor was a
strong reminder of the zeal with
which home missionary labors
when he goes forth to seek and to
save. The candidates, as request :
ed, were weighed in the balance
and all found wanting votes.
1t was Hayward crowd, ap-
plaud, cheers, hurrahs and flowers
all testifying to this fact. At the
close Of his speech Capt. Hayward
was asked if he chad been u Hask-
ellite-" His immediate reply,
II have never done anything but
support the regular nominees of
the Democratic party and shall al.
ways do this," brought the most
alpervading cheers and applause
of the day. Cancler had the
crowd completely and lively COL
loquies between Messrs. Wilborn
and Evans and Wilborn and Mob

joyment of the crowd. Cansler's

ed specifically to some luckless
opponsnt whom he was then dis
secting, invariably brought down
tho house. The political pipe of
this tobacco ow shed its aroma
and smoke over much that was
said. The county chairman, Gen
w. E. James, was absolutely i'm
partial and courteous to all. Mr..
Cansler's "what have you to do
with it," when the audience called
him up and the chairman called
him down--was no implication to
the contrary,

was the next speaker, coming for
ward amid the loudest and most
general applause of the day. Old
Darlington needs no eulogy at nay
hands-she has done too much. A
brief tribute to Darlington's re-
preventative of womanhood was
made. He stated his endorseo
ment of home county; agreement
upon love feast issues;. The
progress OF great State was dis
cussed and some reasons for this
shown. Captain Hayward has
many political friends in thi s
county who came from various
sections to hear him. He was
heard with closest attention
as he discussed his platform. He
was heard with applause and clos.
ed with flowers, cheers from all
over the crowd and repeated
again with hurrahs for Hayward.

and the last speakers Mr.. Ansel
and DR.. Zimmerman -labored I'm

and he thought it almost time to
have the doxology, but spoke
briefly and with entertaining in

closing with. "Bro. Crofford.

"wonld not be 40 considerate as
to attempt to detain you after

discussed his claims, as briefly
discussed his opponents, then on,
before closing, to con densed
statement of his claims. 1t was
nearly 6o'clock when Chairman
James with all duties well met,
adjourned the meeting to resound-
ing echoes and thrlllings of re-

10 Capture Notorious Dealer
I'm what Il known as
Green Goods.

One of the most sensational pages
in the history OF the United States Sc
cret service bureau is devoted to the
exploits of Miss Halle X. Saunders,
of Irwin, Pa, who was instrumental in
the capture of Henry Montgomery,
alleged TO be one Of the most expert
green goods operators that ever
turned a trick on a gullible granger
or gold bricked' a man of easy con-
science.
Miss Saunders has been in business
at Irwin for many years and is
wealthy. A few weeks ago she sold
out her millinery store and retired
TO go into the real estate business.
At this time she received a green
goods circular from Montgomery
setting forth how a shrewd busi-
ness woman who could keep her af-
fairs 20 herself could make money
handling the goods" She knew ex-
actly what this meant and made up
her mind to try to get the conf
dence operator in<o the hands of the
government officers.
She told her plans TO several male
friends and answered the letter. She
