been threshed over many times. Few
Southerners of any prominence have
been at the White House since Crum's
name was first considered IN connec-
ton with the Office who have not oeen
asked by the President their opinion IN
the matter. The President has mace
public two explanatory letters bearing
upon it. Indeed, the Charleston negro
has been a source of great trouote W
the administration. The President;
however has placed himself on record
ne fovn,.inr Crum for the place and his
friends claimed that it would be impos-
sible for him to get out of renominat-
mo Crum without antagonizing the en-
tire negro element OF his party and the
white element which aligns itself with
the blacks in the fight for equal rights.
1t is an interesting fact that the Sen
ate has never requested the President
fer information as to why he nomi-
mated Dr.. Crum to be collector of the
port Of Charleston. The President
would have been glad, it is said, to
furnish information along this line and
it would have given him the opportu-
nifty. 1t is said, to explain away in a
measure his seemingly radical action
in saddling Charleston with q negro
official The statement has been made
that the President. when he visited
Charleston last spring, took several
prominent Charleston:ans into his con-
tidence and told them he would PROB
ably have TO select one negro from the
State for q federal appointment ana
asked for advice The name of Crnm,
it is stated. was unanimously presented
to him bv his advisers as the most suit
able for such reward. He was de-
clared bv these prominent Charlesto-
Mans" who have since been loudest II
the accusations against the admlDlstra-
ton. TO be respectable and able negro
and one suited tor public otice. At
that time there was no posslolllty OF
vacancy in the Charleston Office, but
there was chance of vacancies in sew
eral up the State, and had these vacan-
cies occurred at the time Crum would
probably have been selected for one OF
them. It was probably the irony OF
fate that the Charleston collectorshlp
should have been vacant so soon after
the Presidents visit there and after
the good work which these Charleston
ians had so freely said in Crum's be-
half. Had the Senate asked for the
papers in the Crum case it is believed
there would have been some sensational
disclosures which might or might not
have relieved the President of some OF
the responsibility for selecting Crum
for the Office.

Road Inquiries No. 4.
Editor The Manning Times:


The problem to be solved in regard
to road working is like the one which
faced the man with the leak in bis
house. When it rained he couldn't
stop the leak, and when it was not
raining it need not be stopped.
There is another phase of evolution
as respects the road in addition to the
one mentioned last week It is the
elevation of the sides of the road while
the middle is being depressed. one
grows the other wears. Every man who
digs ditch on the roadside throws the
road with bushes and other kinds of
trash. All this makes a considerable
rim, which IS allowed by the over
seer to remain where the ditchers
threw it.
This correspondent would like to in
Sist On the supervisor taking a trip
ous this way and look after the stalking
off o. our roads. This is good time.

Prelude to Resolutions on Temperance.

Preirde to Resolutions on Temperance.
The church of the Nazarene in
it's Seventh Annual Assembly
again places itself on record in
opposition to the saloon and the
drink traffic in all its forms. We
regard it as the curse Of all
curses and the sum Of all william
les. It stands forth today as
the most attrocious crime of the
age. It is the bitterest enemy
of the church, and the greatest
hindrance to Christian propa-
gandism Of any agency Of evil
left in this world. It fills our
prisons with convicts, our aims
houses with paupers, our asy-
lums with insane, and it is re-
sponsible for ninety per cent Of
the murders, suicides and other
violent crimes, and for nine
tenths of the poverty of the
land. It fosters anarchy, pros
titution, gambling and obscenity,
and is the promoter of nearly
everything that is vile. It is the
prolific source of divorce, Of the
Separation of husbands and wives
and the destruction of the home.
It has filed our land with brok-
en-hearted mothers and wives
and sorrowing children. It has
brought sorrow and desolation
too deep for an angel to fathom
to millions of homes in this
country. In short, it blights
everything it touches. Its with
ering and desolating touch is felt
and seen in the great political
parties which it is dominating.
It is sinking them to it's own de-
basing level and is threatening
the destruction of the grand
national fabric bequeathed to US
by our fathers. Its pernicious in
fuence upon the government is
seen in the fact that no Presi-
dent has had the courage to
stand before this forked-tongued
monster of damning breath and
in his inaugural address. or in any
message to Congress so much as
call attention to its ravages in
community. On the other hand,
government completely, by which
it becomes particeps criminis in
the business Of drunkard-mak-
ing, is alarming. 1t is blighting
the church by direct and reflex
influence. It is robbing them OF
holiness and spiritual power and
paralizing revival effort, and is
causing God to withdraw His
Spirit and leave their house
desolate.
1t is shearing their locks and
leaVlnS lnem neIpIeSS III Gue
hands of their enemies. Its
deadly exhaltations are felt in
every department. of Christian
work and life. Its demand for
$4,000 girls each year (an aver
age of one every fifteen minutes)
to sell their virtue for rum and
lead lives of shame, and more
than 100000 boys to take the
places Of the old drunkards who
fall into hell, is appalling. Thus
we are confronted by a monster
iniquity that has notone redeem
ing feature, and before which
most other crimes pale into COM
parative insignifcance.

THOUSANDS BUTcHERED.

The Macedonian organizations are
preparing memorandum TO be pre-
.sented to the representatives OF the
powers, IN which they will declare
that the insurgents intend to resort
to repriSalS Tor the Turkish atrocities.
The memorandum gives detailed IN
formation of villages destroyed and
the massacre Of their Inhabitants. 1t
declares that $4,000 men, women ano
children have been slaughtered and
l2O villages burned. In the list OF
villages given only two are in the
rilayet of Adrianople. Others are
principally in the MonaStir vilayet.
The memorandum repeats the state
ment recently issued by the insurgent
general staff at Monastir that the
Turks. instead OF fighting the insurg-
ents have inst;e uted general nlassa-
ere of the Chris tians. The organlza-
tions declare they are issuing the
present memorandum because they
are no longer to restrain the bands
from, retaliation and henceforward the
responsibility will rest with the great
powers.

Injunction Refused.

In the Supreme Court Thursday
morning decision was filed by Asso-
ciate Justice Ira B. Jones, refusing an
injunction and dismissing the petition
of H. A. NJ. Smith, receiver of the
defunct bank of the State, against R..
II. Jennings, State Treasurer. The
petition was for an injunction to pre-
vent the State Treasurer writing of
his books the bonds of the bank, which
have been carried for thirty years.
The bonds were stolen during the war
and have never been recovered. Ihe
case has been elaborately adjudicated
in the courts, the judges of the State
sitting on one occasion en- banc upon
it. 1t was decided that the bonds
were due to the receiver and the re-
ceiver was instructed to apply to the
Legislature for authorization OF their
payment. at the last session OF the
General Assembly, however, an act
was passed instructing the State
Treasurer to write the amount OF the
bonds off his books. The application
OF the receiver Of the bank was TOR an
injunction to prevent the State
Treasurer from carrying out the pro.
visions of this act.

Fifty Feet Through The Air.

While Barney Old6eld's racing au-
tomobile was running nearly so miles
an hour at the Gross Point track at
Detroit, Mich, Wednesday afternoon
in the mile open event, one Of the
front tires on the machine burned
through and exploded, throwing the
car into the fence and injuring Frank
Shearer, spectator, so terribly that
be died in an ambulonce en- route to
the hospital. The car went so feet
through the air and Oldfeld, who kept
his seat, had marvellous escape from
death. He received several cuts about
the body and had one rib broken. Old
field had just time to twist his brake
and head for spot between two trees.
Shearer was standing against the
fence at this point and the car struck
him squarely, breaking both legs in
several places and fracturipg his skull.
He was thrown Is feet and never re-
covered consciousness. Oldseh had
presence of mind to throw himself
backward or the flat deck Of the car,
which went crashing through a low
tree and was completely wrecked.
Shearer's brother was standing near
him and had a narrow escape.

Joseph Aston, a colored boy, Ii
years of age, died this morning OF hy-

dog near his home five days ago. The
dog was not known to be mad and from
what could be learned today it does
not appear that the wound caused any
alarm or received medical attention at
the time. y few days ago the boy
was taken Ill and Dr. LaRoach Wilson
was called in. lie diagnosed the case
as hodrophobia and applied the usual
treatment, but to no effect, and the
boy died after suffering in terrible ag-
ony for hours. 1t is not known II Jhe
dog was killed.

Hoar on Race Issue.

Senator Hoar discussed Problems
Of the Nation' at the annual sum mer
outing of the Essex club Of MaSsachu-
setts at Bakers Island Thursday.
Discussing the race problem in the
south, the senator said: i know, my
friends, that there are special difficult
ties in this problem as it affects our
colored fellow citizens. I know how
deeply moved are the feelings Of our
southern brethren. l would not utter
toward them a word Of repToach. l
know how near to their homes ana
how close to their social and political
life comes this cloud and shadow. l
see that one enthusiastic southern
gentleman has renewed the PROPOSE
tion that we send the ten million ne
groes out Of the country. Ihls IS
totally impracticable. Let US not
delude ourselves. We have got this
question to meet squarely at home.

MADE MAD BY HOLINESS.
4 Horrible Tragedy Enacted in the
County OF Anderson.

4 special dispatch from Anderson
to The News and Courier says a hor-
riDle case Of infanticide caused by re-
ligiouS fanaticism occurred Monday
night week in Broadway Township,
about six miles from the city. John
Gratfenreid, negro, and his wife,
had been attending a holiness meet
ing" and had become greatly wrought
up over the eXcitment attending it.
They left the meet Monday night and
spent q greater part OF tue night
praying.
Just before daylight Gratfenreid says,
his wife awoke him and asked him
which he loved best. his wife or his
baby, a Child about l6 months ct age.
She said the Lord was goiug to take
one Of them and asked which he
would rather give up. He says that ii
it was the Lords will he would rather
give up the child. He says the wo-
man then got out Of bed and took the
child in her arm and declared she was
going to offer it as d sacrifice. lie
says he was standing by her trying to
get her quiet, when she suddenly ex-
claimed: Here, Lord, take this
child" and threw it against The wall.
His wife then threw her arms around
him and tried TO choak him, saying
something about both CT them going
to Heaven together. They had a
scutlie. which awakened the other
children, who :an into the room and
took the child and placed it in a bed.
The woman 5hen juraped out OF a
window and lett the place and went
to the farm Of w. G. Hammond,
wese she appeared early in the morn
ing, acting in a strange manner. as II
demented, and Mr.. Hammond secured
her for fear she W ,uld do herself or
others harm. She said something
about her husband killed her baby,
and this aroused Mr.. Hammond'S
suspicious, and he phoned Sheriff
Green for instructions. The sheriff
gave instructions to have her husband
arrested and this was done Dir. Allen
Martin, WHO was at Mr.. Harnmond's
and the man and his wife were
brought here and put in jail.
The woman is either raving mad or
an adept at feigning insanity, and
spent the day rolling on the floor or try
ing to climb the walls of the
cell, but no word could he cotton
from her. The man appeared to be
more rational, but is evidently weak
minded and talked freely ABOUT the
affair, though bis story is rambling
and disconnected. He does not show
any sorrow or remorSe over the death
of his child. The coroner was away
to-day and the inquest has not yet
been held, but it is believed the above
are about the facts Of she case.
