The season thus far has been very cool,

two weeks there has been found but lit

There seems to be a growing sentiment
among the cottagers, as we'll as those reo-
Pie who visit the island from year to year,
that the new system for the management
Of island affairs, which has recently been
inaugurated. will be productive of much
good. The island is the property of an
association, and each property owner Is
member thereof. There are in all 81
people who own lots on the island. and
aside from these lots there was quite a
tract Of land on the island unsold. Not
long ago movement was started to buy
this land, and as a result the entire is
land is now owned by those who nave
cottages there. BY the payment of $50
each property owner becomes a share
holder. and the owner of 1-34 Of all I'M
sold property. Thus far p out of the 81
hove contributed, and it is expected that
the few who are not in favor of the
scheme Will soon become shareholders, as
a movement is said to be on foot to raise
by subscription the amount necessary to
purchase their shares for them.

MUST STOP WHEN HAILED,
st. Louis Judge Discharges Man Who
Pointed Revolver at Motorn1an.

ST. Louis, August 23-Judge Tracy of
the first district police court today dis
charged Beverly S. Warden of the Ely
Walker Dry Goods Company. who was
arraigned on a charge of forcing a
street car motorman to stop his car at
the point of a revolver, after three
cars had run by him without stopping.
This is a serious charge-to threaten
a motorman with a loaded revolver
but the aggravation justified Warden's
action" said Judge Tracy. II am con-
WINGED that fully nine-tenths of the
people Of st. Louis are daily AGRA
waited by the deliberate action of street
car motormen who refuse to stop their
cars when hailed. Sometimes these
autocrats of the controller jeer and in
suit the unfortunate man or woman
as they pass them by. No wonder this
has cultivated an anarchistic spirit in
st. Louis
Every time a car refuses to stop at
a passengers hail the transit company
and it's employees violate the law. The

rights of the people are paramount.
II IS strange that the police are so
eager 10 arrest any man whom the
transit agents point out and yet stand
calmly by while these same agents
motormen and conductors-only vio-
late the law-not once, but hundreds
OF times each day. Why was Warden
arrested and the motormen of the three
cars who passed him allowed to es-
cape? The police are tender of the
transit company's rights. They are
callous regarding the rights of passen-
gers
Judge Tracy advised every man in
81. Louis to prosecute motormen who
refused to stop cars.

DOWIE READY TO INVADE EAST
Plans Complete for Salvation OF New
York by Elijah Ill.

10 about month John Alexander
Dowie's Restoration Host" will leave
Zion City to begin its campaign for
the salvation OF New York. The in
vasion of the East by the followers of
Elijah III" contemplates incurSions
into Philadelphia and Boston, but at
present il is against the ungodlness OF
New York that the main strength of
the host will be hurled.
Ten special trains have been chart
cred by the general overseer, and i'm
these the invaders will mbark leaving
Zion City October Ia and arriving i'm
New York two days later Two of the
trains are routed TO pass through
Philadelphia some time on October l6.
They will 20 over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad by way OF Washington.
The other eight trains are scheduled
TO pass by Niagara Falls, where it is
purpoSed to hold tremendous meet
Ing at the gate OF the enemy'S coun-
try, so to speak.
Dowie himself, with his wife, son
and body guard, will travel on the
train which leaves Zion City last. 1t
will be solidly composed Of vestibuled
cars Of the most luxurious type and
will reach New York i'm advance OF
the whole procession.
Meanwhile the man who says he has
Inherited the mantel OF Elijah is eX-

Through the coming month even his
tremendous energies will be taxed in
preparing for the movement of his
host, and, aside from the practical de-
tails, he is laboring to yet his followers
into thorough accord with the work
ahead OF them. This entails much
tutelage and the inculcation of many
preceptS. In his latest lesson, deliver
ed last week, Dowie warned his hear

A SHERIFF In TROUBLE.
Charged With Murder but Refuses
To Relinquish His Onice.

a peculiar state OF affairs exist in
Saluda, according to a1etter written
by Jacob Gibson, the coroner. to Gov.
Hayward Friday. Gibsun's letter
says that the sheriff of Saluda county
Is now under arrest charged with the
crime or murder, yet he refuses to re-
linquish his Office to the coroner, who
believes that he is empowered to act
in such cases.
The question is one which has
never been raised before, and the gov
ernor naturally is not familiar with
the course to be pursued i'm such a
contingency. He will submit the
question to the attorney general who
will advise him of his powers in the
matter of the removal from Office of
Sheriff Rhoden who is now out under
a bond for $1,000.
The coroner's letter to the governor
is as follows:
Last week | officially notified YOU
by wire that the sheriff Of this county
was under arrest charged with the
crime OF murder and that he refused
TO turn over his office to me az COM
missioner and asked for directions.
L received your reply that you had
not been officially notified and that
nothing was in your office for you to
act on.
Il now make Official notification of
the aft airs:
On Saturday night, Sept. 5, 1903,
Robert Granch, negro was shot on
the public street in the town of
Saluda, and after inquisition by me
as coroner, the jury returned ver-
dict that the negro came to his death
by gunShot wound i'm the hands of
w. l.. Rhoden and Mat Berry.
Whereupon l caused the said Rhuden
and Berry to be arrested and commit
ted them TO custody. In pursuance
TO the law L demanded that the Office
OF sheriff be turned over TO me, but
the sheriff refused, and ordered me
from the jail, where he refused TO be
locked up, and discharged his jailer,
who is my son, and appointed another
Jailer, from whom l took a receipt for
the two prisoners.
The jailer has moved out OF the
Jail and there is no one legally in
charge Of the affairs OF that office.
The sheriff has since been released
from custody under habeas corpus
proceedings, and still continues to dis
charge the duties OF sheriff. which in
my opinion is contrary TO the law. /
wish that you would advise me in the
premises as ] have prisoner that
must be delivered and put in CUSTODY"
A thorough investigation OF the
affair will of course be necessary he
fore the governor can act. The at
torney general said Friday afternoon
that he would take the matter up as
| soon as possible but that his time was
very much occupied by other matters
and that he may not be able to render
an opinion on the matter before Mon
day.
The prime question is whether or
not the sheriff should be removed
from office and by what means and it
is along this line that the attorney
general will advise Gov. Hayward. =
