No doubt former Judge Bu
chanan congratulates himself
that it was his weighty argu
ments which secured for his
brother in law, Jas. H Tillman,
a change of venue.
We must conclude from his
tirade-that his term Of service
on the bench gave either n poor
opinion of or contempt for his
former associates, if he had a
belief that such inhammatory
stuff as he employed in his al
legged argument would have the
effect of influencing them.
His speech was an insult to the
intelligence of the presiding
judge, who would have been
amply justified in silencing him
for contempt.-Kershaw Era.

DOWNFALL OF THE RURAL
DISTILLERY.
Mountaineer Producers of Old
Corn Are Hard Hit by the
Watts Temperance Act.
Special to The State.

| ~ O.5 uhS 20 -
Tomorrow marks day important
in the history OF North Carolina.
for on that day every legalized
whisky distillery in the state, out.
side the incorporated cities and
towns, is TO cease operations. On
July the Watts temperance bill
an act passed by the last session
of the state legislature, goes into
effect. The bill prohibits the
manufacture or sale of whiskey
in the state, except in incorpora-
ted cities and towns, and provides
that upon a petition of one-tbird
of the qualified voters of city or
town the question of whether or
not the manufacture or sale of
whisky shall be allowed may be
determined by popular election.
Three issues may be voted upon
at this election Whether or not
the city is to have saloons; wheth-
er or not the city is to have a
dlspensary ; whether or not the
city is to have prohibition. Elec-
tions have already been held in
several towns IN the state under
special acts, similar to the general
act. OF these, Statesville ard
Hickory have voted "dry," and
one, Wilson, has voted to estab.
lish dispensary. The anti-saloon
league at this place is now agita-
ting the holding Of an election in
Asheville Hnder the Watts bill .
and it is their intention 10 do so
at an early date. The chances
are that the election will be to
determine whether or not Ashe
Vile shall have a dispensary, as
1t is not thought possible that
prohibition can be carried at an
election here at present.
1T is thought that one OF the
principal motives of the passing
of this bill was to weaken the
Republican party in the state by
reducing the federal patronage,
and it will certainly cause con
siderable change in the internal
revenue department. In this, the
fifth, revenue district, there are
at present something like 50 dis
tilleries. 1t is not thought that
the number that will remain in
operation will exceed ten. The
Offices Of several deputies and a
large number of stOrekeepers and
gaugers will be abolished. The
same ratio will hold good in all
districts Of the state.
1t is said a number of distillers
have signjlicd their intention of
continuing their work as usua! in
defiance Of the state law. Thus
they will Immediately test the
cOnstitutionality Of the law in the
courts. 1T seems probable that
rectifying establishments can be
run outside of the incorporated
towns, and storekeepers and
gaugers will have to be stationed
at each of these. With the ex-
ceptlOn of one or two counties.
the act does not prohibit the
manufacture of brandy or wine.

Shaw's battalion of the 9th infantry
Fitzpatrick OF the 18th Cavalry and

the BacolodianS opposed his advance
and provoked the fight. Pershing sur
rounded and attacked their strong
hold, first shelling them and rushing
his troops forward charging gallantly.
After crossing the deep moat and en-
tering the fort, the Americans engag-

BIG GUNS BURSTS.
A Fatal Accident on the Battleship
Iowa Thursday.
A TWELVE INCH TUBE ExpLoDRs
Several Seamen Killed and Wound.
ed. The Disaster Occurred
During Target Practice on
Pensacola, Fla.

a disastrous explosion occurred on
the battleship Iowa Thursday while
the vessel was at target pratt ce In the
gulf of Mexico. The forward port r.
inch gun burst from the premature
explosion Of a shell, IL feet Of the
piece outside the turret being demol-
ished. Three men were killed and
five injured, two seriously.
The killed are: First-class Seaman
Kiele, Ordinary Seaman Percell and
Gunner's Mate Berry.
The injured are: Eirst-class Sea-
man Caught, Ordinary Seamen Trues-
dale, Brown, Mansdale and Parrucker.
The men killed and injured were on
the second or gun deck at mess. Three
pieces OF the exploded gun, each
weighing over a ton, passed downward
through the spear deck, falling upon
the men at mess, instantly killing the
three named. All of the men were
horribly mutilated. The heavy mis-
siles, after passing through the gun
deck, continued down to the third
deck, where they came i'm contact
with the armored deck, the heavy
steel bringing them to a stop, thus
saving the engineers and firemen who
were at work below. Although the
upper decks were crowded with men,
no one there was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the
mess call had been sounded. Firing
was to have ceased after the shot for
tne dinner hour. The range had been
set and the Iowa was steaming along
at speed OF II knots an hour, when
Lieut.. Reed, in charge Of the forward
l2-lnch turret, gave orders to load
and and fire. The time fuse was cut
for the range, the piece charged,
breech closed and the word given to
ire. Following the report of the gun
there was a smothered report as the
she'll exploded midway in the gun and
pieces of the bursted gun and shell
were scattered broadcast. Three
great holes were torn thropgh the
lll lllnnyunnmnm fnnnnn
coming up ON uecK, some yV6y and
mutilated, while lying on the floor
crushed almost beyond recognition
were the three unfortunate men.
The Massachusetts, six miles distant,
was signalled for aid, and one of the
cutters put Off with the surgeon and
assistants. The wounded men were
taken to the hospital and their in
juries dressed. The dead were brought
to Pensacola.
Some claim the explosion was
caused by defective shell, and others
think that the frequent firing Of the
piece at Culebra during the winter,
added with the work done here dur
ing the past 10 days, so strained the
piece that the force of the charge
burSted the gun.

saved his life. When asked why he
made the attempt he replied: ANY
kind OF death is preferable to the dis
grace of being hanged by the neck un-
Til dead" 1t is stated that his negro
friends have about given up all hope,
realizing that they have exhausted
every means to save him.
Large sums Of money have been
raised in the negro churches of
Georgetown county, as well as from
his relatives in Columbia and Mayes-
vile, Sumter county, the home OF his
wife, for by them Brownfield is re-
garded as the exponent of an imagin-
airy principle. 1t is stated that pray
ers are being offered that he may die
by any other method save that of a
legal execution and to them is attri-
butable. the poison that has been
given him on more than one occasion,
but the negro Is too cowardly to wait
until the poison takes effect before
calling for Il physician. One of the
direct results OF the riot episode is
the passing OF the city and county
government completely into the hands
or the white people. The negroes put
up tickets in both elections last year
but failed to support them on the
days of election. The city OF George
town has been continuously under the
mayoralty Of the Hon. w. ID. Morgan
FOR the last IL years, but the new
Georgetown which has sprung into
existence within the last five years,
bears little resemblance to the quaint
old city which formerly stood at the
head of Winyah bay.-Columbia

\ Fatal Swim.

Matte Lou Smith, 20 years old and
Nick Butler, Is, were drowned Fri
day in the ST. Johns river near the
Florida East Coast railway bridge
at Jacksonville. The bodies have
not yet been recovered. With an
other woman, Pearl Seay, they went
to the river Grabbing. The two who
were drowned entered rowboat and
went to the south Jacksonville side
where, after grabbing while, they
went in the river for swim. They
had not been in the water long before
persons on the drawbridge heard cries
for help. Two men instantly started
towards them in a rowboat. Before
they reach the spot they saw the wo-
man disappear beneath the surface
and an instant later the man diSap-
peared.

THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER
or an Unknown Man i'm the City
OF Charleston.

Charleston has another mysteriou,
murder case. The Post says with {
bullet hole through the head and an.
other through the heart, the body OF
well dressed, unknown young white
man, about nineteen years of age, was
found half buried in the marsh neal
Wappoo mills Friday afternoon. The
body was discovered by II. Jeryey,
who was out in the Ashley river In
his boat. The information that the
body OF man had been found was
communicated to Coroner O'Donnell
and he caused it to be removed.
brought to the city and sent to the
hospital. 1t was in a state OF almost
perfect preservation, showing that it
had been in the water only a few days.
In the left temple was a bullet hole
made by 81 caliber pistol and the
other was through his heart. Either
or the wounds would have caused in
slant death. In his pockets were
found an open case silver watch, few
pennies, q small knife, pair of cuff
buttons, pocket comb, a number of
pistol cartridges and a newspaper
clipping telling of the suicide OF
Frederick l. Stebbins, a Socialist who
Killed himself at Rochester, the early
part of this month. The clipping
gave the reasons for Stebbins' suicide
and on the margin of the strip OF pa
per were written these words, Il say
the same, goodbye" 1t was believed
by the coroner that the unknown
young man had killed himself by
shooting himself in the head and then
throwing himself in the river. When
the body was found Friday only one
wound, that in the temple, was dis
covered, but when the body was
stripped for post mortem examina-
tion d bullet hole was found through
his heart.
An inquest was held Saturday
morning at the city hospital and a
full investigation was made. Ihe
two wounds, either of which would
have cause instant death, led the Jury
to believed that the man was muir
dered and thrown into the river. 1t
is thought that the newspaper clipping
with the words. Il say the same.
goodbye" written on the piece OF pa
per, was placed in his vest pocket for
the purpose of covering up the crime
of murder and making the crime one
OF suicide. The jury rendered a ver-
dict that the deceased, unknown to
them, came to his death at the hands

shall be done with this insane MANI"
He is not 4 citizen OF this State and
the law provides that the State OF
South Carolina shall not take care of
parties in such a condition unless they
have been residents for two years
preceding. This was done in order to
keep neighboring States from impos-

A WOMAN IN BLACK.
Strange Story That Comes from the
County Seat OF Colleton.

A dispatch from Walterboro to The
State says quite a sensation was Great
ed in that town on Thursday morning
oy the arrest upon warrant issued
by Magistrate j. r. Bryan OF S. j.
Fennell, a farmer and manufacturer
OF lumber, residing about six miles
from the town, on charge OF forgery.
Being unable to give a bond of s7OO
he was committed to Jail.
A mysterious woman In black, de-
scribed as quiet and handsome figures
in the case. In fact, she Is the chief
actor. 1t iS'not known who she is.
what is known is that she appeared
at the Farmers and Merchants bank
at Walterboro on March 27, presented
check for $432, bearing the sigma
ture of w. q. Thompson, Jr., drawn
upon the Bank OF Hampton in favor
or one or his married sisters, whom
she impersonated, and recei we'd the
money.
The circumstance connecting Fen
nell with the transaction is that he is
known TO have accompanied the wo-
man from Walterboro to Hampton,
conVersing with her the preceding day,
Al Hampton she presented check
for similar sum, but owing to some
error payment was refused. He re.
turned with her TO Walterboro the
same day.
Where she secured lodging for the
night cannot be ascertained. Fennell
admits seeing her on the train, but de-
nies knowledge OF her identity. An
other mystifying feature OF the case
is that the woman must have known
the extent of Thompson's deposist in
the Bank of Hampton, and have teen
familiar with his signature. Thomp-
son, who is now on visit to Florida,
might aid in clearing up the mystery
OF the mysterious woman in black"
Diligent efforts are being made to find
out who she is nd where she is.
