MIR. SMITH IN FRANKLIN.
Republican Nominee Has Confidence
 in Fair Election.

Russellville, Oct. 0-(Special. .)-Hon. John A. w. Smith, Republican nominee for Governor opened the Republican cam paign here last night with a speech at the court house to about forty hearers. About twenty-five of his audience were Republicans and fifteen were Democrats. MT. Smiths speech was very mild con- fining himself principally to a discussion of the tariff, which he lauded and of
 President Roosevelts method of curb ing the trusts which he approved. He complimented MT. Street. Republican nominee for Congress, and urged his Re publican hearers to support him as he was sound on the tariff question and in harmony with the Republicans on the Philippine question. As to the constitu- tion he said he did not vote in the first election on the call, but voted against ratification believing that the temporary plan was unconstitutional. He was in favor of repeating the Fifteenth Amend ment as it was practically repealed already. He said Alabama would have a fair election; that such was the wish and would be the policy of the Demo- crats: that so far as he was concerned the Republican managers in Jefferson County could stay at home on election day and leave the Democrats unwatched to do the counting although a brother lT-laW or GOVernor JelkS was one ol tHe inspector in that county. To this gentle man MT. Smith paid a high tribute

Tillman and McLaurin Fight.

Last Saturday Senators Tillman and
McLaurin became involved in fisticuff
on the floor of the United State Senate.
Tillman in speech charged that McLaur-
ms vote on the Paris treaty had been
bought by control of the Federal pat
ronage in this State. McLaurin was at
work on a committee at the time,
but he was Immediately sent for
bv his friends who told him Of Tillman's
charge. AS soon as Tillman finished his
speech, McLaurin arose and denounced
Tillman's statement "a wilful, malicious,
and deliberate lie." Tillman sprang at
him and McLaurin met him halfway. They
succeeded in exchanging few blows be-
fore they were separated. Tillman got a
severe blow on the nose, bringing the
blood, while McLaurin was struck in the
forehead Both men fought hard, and 1t
with difficulty that they were pulled
apart, The senate chamber was a scene
of much excitement. Both Senators were
Immediately adjudged to be in contempt
of the Senate, but were allowed to apol'
oeize to that body, which they did. How
ever, they are still in contempt, and are
not allowed to speak or vote on any
ouestion. Their case has not yet been
disnosed of, but they will hardly be ex-
ne]led. McLaurin has had resolution
introduced providing for an investigator
of Tillman's charge against him, andllli'
man has protested against not beng al
| lowed to speak or vote.

A telegram received in the city yester'
day by Mrs. Stokes brother, summonine
him to her, conveyed the news of the
death of the Rev. Geo. Edwin Stokes
which occurred at Denmark yesterday
morning. Mr.. Stokes was we'll known
here, having married daughter of the
late DR.. S. P. H. Elwell in 1887, and she
with four children-two boys and two
girls-survive him. The minister was
born in Orangeburg county March 5, 1868,
and was graduate of the university at
Nashville Tenn, in the class of 1888. He
taught school for few years at Cornith,
Miss; in Orangeburg county at Bishop
vile, Seneca, Batesburg and Rowcsville.
He entered the ministry in 1892, being
licensed to preach and served the Branch
Vile circuit. He was on the Lexington
circuit in 1894 and 1895. He then served
the Springfield circuit in Orangeburg
county for four years and began his
service in the Denmark circuit in 1899,
being successfully returned by the con-
ference. He was regarded as a strong
preacher, devoted pastor and an earnest
workcr.-The State, Sunday, February %.

Maria 90 Monday Night.

Mr.. H. w. Johnson and Miss Gussie
Adams were quietly married last Mon
day night at $50 o'clock at the residence
of the brides mother, Mrs. NJ. A. Adams
on Railroad Avenue, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. NJ. w. Hook, pastor
of Trinity Methodist church. Only the
immediate relatives Of the contracting
parties were present, and the marriage
was quite surprise to most people of the
city, for while all their friends expected
the event to take place some time before
long, they did not know that the happy
conclusion of their courtship would be
consummated Monday night. Both are
deservedly popular in Bambergs social
circle, and their many friends extend
hearty CONGRATULATIONS.

DOingS at Denmark.

DENMARK, Feb. ia negro boy had
his leg crushed by freight train on the
Atlantic Coast Line road ON Saturday
afternoon. 1t seems that he tried to get
aboard the train after it was in motion,
but failed with the above result. He
claims that he was not trying to steal a
ride, and was not aware that the train
was under such headway when he at
tempted to get aboard. He was carried to
the Office of Dr.. J. S. Matthews, operated
on successfully, and is now minus leg.
An unknown white youth met with
much sadder fate at this place Sunday
night. He made fire near one of the
numerous side tracks and must have fallen
asleep with his head on the rail. A freight
train on the Scaboard Air Line ran over
him and his body clogged some part Of
the machinery. 1t was with difficulty
that the shapeless mass was removed.
There was nothing found by which to
identify the unfortunate victim.
Last week Mrs. s. G. Mayfield and her
two little sons were driving over the new
bridge that crosses the steep embankmt mt
of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, be-
tween East and West Denmark. When
nearing the bottom of the bridge, the
buggy ran against the horse, which took
fright and raced down the street. In
turning the first corner, long distance
telephone post was demolished, the buggy
broken to pieces and the occupants
thrown out. Fortunately no one was
hurt.
Mr.. Walter Dunlap, of Rock Hill, a
former resident of this place, was the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. E. D. Raney Sat-
urday evening and Sunday. Some friends
we're invited to meet him, and the merry

iniscences of days gone by, made the
happy moments speed away all too soon
