THE assault that Mr.. H. H. Evans
made upon Mr.. ]. K. Blackman reminds
US most strikingly of the similar as
sault that Mr.. ]. Dudley Haselden
made on Mr.. Ben Sellers, in Marion
county, in November, 1899. Haselden
occupied a position on the state board
of control similar to that now occupied
by Evans. D. A. G. Outz had differ
ence with those on the inside and pro-
duced an anonymous letter in which it
was stated that Haselden was keeping
open-house with dispensary samples,
and living in manner generally that
was too high to be accounted for on the
basis of his known legitimate income.
OF course Haselden denied it all; but
as he knew there was foundation for
the letter, he began to hunt for the au-
thor and settled upon his kinsman, Mr..
Ben Sellers, whom he determined to
kill. How he set forth on his errand Of
murder, after first having arranged to
protect his precious carcass with a
breastplate of "tork' steel, especially
made for him at the Marion iron works,
is a matter of easy recollection to most
people who are familiar with those
times, and these same people will re-
member that Notwithstanding the terri
BILE fight that followed, nothing was
ever done about the whole disgraceful
affair in the courts. The charge made
by the Newberry correspondent Of the
Greenville News against H. H. Evans
is generally the same as the charge that
was made by somebody against j. Dud-
ley IIaselden, and Evans acted just
about as Haselden acted, although it
has not yet developed whether or not
Evans wore on his Greenville trip, one
of the tork steel breastplates that Has
elden had made at the Marion iron
works Unfortunately for the satisfac-
ton of those who would be curious to
know. nothing developed to disclose
this important fact. Anyhow there is
enough similarity between the two
cases to show that dispensary direct

The senatorial campaign meeting at
Orangeburg. Thursday, was an unusu-
ally warm one. There were 1,500 peo-
pie present and the candidates were at
their best. Colonel Johnstone indulged
in a scathing arraignment of Mr.. Lati-
mer and his speech was enjoyed. Mr..
Hemphill had to defend his citizenship
as on previous occasions, and received
some flowers as we'll as cheers. Mr..
Henderson referred to the records of
Latimer, Hemphill, Johnstone and Ell
liott in congress, observing that none
of them had set the rivers on fire. COL
onel Elliott told Of his record in behalf
of South Carolina and the south and
got liberal applause. The warmest
feature Of the meeting was the usual
tilt between Messrs. Evans and Lati-
mer The correspondent of The News
and Courier and Columbia State reports
the controversy as follows:

charges made by DR.. Stokes in THE

at Tirzah claiming all the credit for
the free rural delivery when Mr.. Grist

and thus caught up with Mr.. Latimer
claiming what did not belong to him.
On that trip to Cuba he (Evans) was
down there and Tilman and Norton

and was insured for $50. AS good luck
had it, Mr.. Jackson's mules were away

Bennettsvile special of July to Co.
lumbia State: Jeremiah Poison, the old
est man ever known in this section
died at his home ten miles southeast Of
Bennettsville last Friday and was bur-
led at the Haskew cemetery, near Clio,
Saturday. He claimed to be 113 years
old, and the claim is not doubted by
those who knew him. The oldest citi-
zens of this place remember him as an
old man in their boyhood. He has a
numerous progeny, and some of his
grandchildren are now old men and
women. Mr.. Poison celebrated his 18th
birthday on July 2, and told his family
to prepare a good dinner and hold a
prayer meeting at night, as he was
about to finish his earthly career. He
could remember events of three centu-
ries, and talked sanely till the last.

for various reasons. In the first place
1 do not think it Is just and equitable,
and in the second place see no neces-
sity for It," These are only a few Of
the many views that have been ex-
pressed. The other side Of the question,
as set forth by member of the town
council, is like this:
"Our fixed charges, including interest
payments, police, electric lights, fire
protection, waterworks and incidentals,
calls for something like seven thousand
dollars a year, and our revenue from
special taxes, general property taxes,
dispensary, fines, licenses, waterworks,
etc., Is not sufficient to meet these
charges and leave a margin for street
improvements. We have in the light
and water facilities conveniences that
cost a great deal of money, and II we
are to maintain these conveniences we've
got to pay. The present revenue Is not
sufficient to wipe out past indebtedness
and meet the requirements Of the town

to be quite satisfactory. For severa
years there have been special taxes or
meat markets, insurance agents anc
bill posters, and so far as I am con.
cerned, l am unable to see why the
system cannot be extended with equa
justice to all other occupations"
Although it is understood that the
members Of the town council are gen.
orally favorable to the proposed occu-
patton tax, up to this time no ofticia
action has been taken as to its adop.
ton, and from the standpoint Of the
council the situation calls either for re.

OIL FUEL ON OCEAN STEAMSHIPS
The Successful Experimental Trip of
 the MartpOsa.

Washington, Sept 5.-The report of Lieutenant Ward Winchell, U. S. Navy, the expert detailed by the navy de- partment to observe the installation and efficiency of the oil fuel system as fitted to the Ocean Steamship com- pany's steamship Mariposa, has been received at the navy department
 The Mariposa's gross displacement was 3160 tons and her average horse power with oil about 2,4s1 giving her an average of 354 knots and a mean speed 1858 with PTS barrels of oil per day.
 This was 50 per cent. less in weight than would be required of coal, for one and q half pounds of oil sufficed to pro- duce a. horse power. An important ad- vantage in the oil fuel was the reduc- tion of the engine room force from S6 to 20 men. The ship used only 12 of her IS furnaces, burning crude oil in two burn CTS in each furnace by means of an air compressor of capacity of 1000 cubic feet per minute at 30 pounds pressure All of the burners were not used except at short intervals. The entire refuse af- ter a run Ol oJ+oo lIiltc-o LASAl1 SC'ii t i~"iA cisco to Tapiti, barley filled two ash buckets and the flames did not effect the boilers unfavorably. Diff- culties experienced were confined to the choking of strainers, which can be ob- viated by uplicating these parts and in the regulation of the supply of oil to feeders. When the air compressors needed overhauling in one or two in- stances, resource was had to 8 steam spray which had been provided.
 Lieutenant Mitchell says that if few CT men are needed in the fire rooms | with oil, it is necessary men of higher | intelligence, with mechanical aptitude and nerve closely to watch the fur naces be employed. The es- l sentials are that there shall be consant air pressure for atom
 izing, that provision shall be made | to maintain regular temperature of oil and that the oil strainers be watched
 steadily. Lieutenant Winchell's report
 conclude that the Mariposa's trip was
 remarkable in many respects and was not only tribute to the skill of the Pacific coast mechanics but to the en-
 terprise of the company which first in l stalled the oil burners in lieu of coal.

HYPERION THE WINNER.
Boston challenge Cup in Permenent
 Possession of Driving Club.

Celeveland, O., Sept. 5.-At Glenville this afternoon, John A. McKerron plac- ed the Boston challenge cup in perma- net possession of the Gentleman's Driv- ing club. He rather easily outraced his pair of rivals, Lord Derby and The Monk, being a straight heat winner. Lord Derby drew the pole and rushed over to the half in 1:025 1-2. McKerron travelled the second quarter in 30 sec ands and caught up. An opening show ed itself and he was pushed in next the rail. He worked up even to the Derby horse. Half way down the stretch Lord Derby made d tiring break and McKer- ron logged home. The Monk had given up just after the half had been passed.
 McKerron was allowed to set the pace at the start of the second heat and at the half Lord Derby moved out and set rail for the leader. He had him caught but broke again at the time when he had his only chance to win. The en- thusiasm of 12,000 people was unbound ed.
