gun, and so the peddler ran into the
house, where Mrs. Green was, and beg

she didn't get out of the way he would
shoot her. Surasky then tried to run
away, but Green shot him twice In the
back and brought him to the ground,
just outside Of the door. The gunshots
did not kill him, and Green then got an
axe and chopped him until life was

Disorder at Chaplin.
Columbia State, August 25: AS the
result of disorder at Chaplin last Sat
urady a number of people are to be In
dicted for riot. Mr.. H. c. Bailey, edi-
tor of the Chaplin News, who was In
the city yesterday, went to see the at
torney general upon the matter and
secured from him statement that
the parties could be indicted upon that
charge and the attorney general Will
lend his aid to prosecuting them.
There was general gathering at
Chaplin Saturday, Senator Tillman be-
ing the main attraction, until the dis
pensary opened at o'clock in the af-
ternoon. The dispensary was ordered
closed but for some reason 1t was
opened at that time and great many
people got too much aboard. The
town marshal was assisted by S. F.
Black, formerly Of the Columbia police
force. The latter made an arrest and
was on the way to the gaurd house
with the prisoner when twenty five
men ran up with knives, pistols and
other weapons and demanded the re-
lease of the man Shealy. Had Black
resisted he would have been killed
and others might have been shot, but he
was forced to give up the prisoner
It seems that there was good deal OF
other lawlessness during the day, and
it was deemed advisable to appeal
to the attorney general to bring the
law to bear upon these parties. The
names of many Of them have been Sc
cured.
Cost of Being a Candidate.
August Kohn in News and Courier:
Aside from the expenses of living In
Columbia there Is the expense of the
primary system. In some states the
legitimate expenses of a campaign are
paid by the state. In this state every
candidate has to pay his own trans
portation-unless he pay for advertis-
ing, get up his plate matter for the
papers, have supplementary tickets
printed, encounter the committee with
the list for the building Of a new
church or bridge, attend the fairs and
perhaps arrange to have some friend
at certain boxes, and the friend" usu-
ally accepts pay for "his time" 1t Is
surprising how these little things count
up. One of the candidates in the re-
cent state campaign kept a close tab
on what money he spent. He is satis-
fed that every cent he expended was
for legitimate and necessary expenses
and that he did not use any money IN
an improper way or to influence
single vote. His books show that he
actually expended s533 for expenses
during the campaign and that ne
"chipped away" 5000 for incidentals
subscriptions, tips and the like. In
other words, the expenses Of the pri-
mary were s7.33. This applies to de-
feated as we'll as to successful cand1-
dates, and this is low average, as
some defeated candidates spent twice
that much to be defeated, and 1t all
went to meet legitimate expenses and
keep pace with other candidates.
