POISON INTERCEPTED.
1t Was For Use By Deaton, In York
vile Jail, and Was Prepared
By His Wife.

Yorkville, Aug. 25.-As to whether
or not he would use it if he had it is
altogether matter of actual test; but
from circumstances that occurred
during last week it would appear that
the only reason why w. E.
Deaton is without means to &c
hence by the poison route is be-
cause OF the vigilance of Deputy
Sheriff John S. Sandifer.
Experience has taught the sheriff
and deputies that it is a good idea to
keep up with all communications be-
tween prisoners and their friends out
side. anG that especial vigilance
should be exercised in the case of
convicts under heavy sentences. The
exercise of this vigilance has enabled
Deputy Sandifer to intercept a small
paper OF white powder that is evil
IDENTIFY poison, intended for Deaton in
his last extremities before beng
taken to the penitentiary.
One day last week there came
letter for Deaton from his wife in
Fort Mill and Deputy Sandifer read
it over carefully. In it he found
reference about like this: II am going
to send it to you; but I would not,
had you not promised that you would
not use it until then, and had l not
promised you. I don't want to send
it. I am afraid. Now remember your
promise not to use it until everything
else fails. 1t will be stitched in the
hem of your pants"
Mrs. Deaton came over to York
vile Friday bringing her children and
a bundle for her husband. Deputy
Sandifer gave her to understand that
the bundle would have to be left out
side until he could examine it. She
protested that she had several articles
that she needed for the children, and
made excuses intended to keep the
bundle in her possession until she
could see her husband. Mr.. Sandlter
then told her to take out such arti-
cles as were intended for her husband
and leave them outside; that he would
attend to the. delivery later.
After Mrs. Deaton had had an in
terview with her husband in the pres
ence of Mr.. Sandifer, the deputy pro-
ceeded to make careful examination
OF all the articles in the bundle, es-
pecially the pants, in the hem OF
which he found a small paper package
filled with a white powder. He after
ward showed the powder to several
physicians: but none of them were
able to tell certainly what it is. Mr..
Sandifer. however. is very we'll salts
fed that the powder is a deadly
poison, and that it was the purpose OF
Deaton to use it either before he
started for the penitentiary, or after
he NAV have decided that death was
preferable to longer confinement in
that insinuation.
Upon learning Of the circumstances
outlined above. Major James F. Hart,
attorney for Deaton. promptly mott
fed the clerk OF court of the with
drawal of the appeal he had entered
and said he would have nothing more
to do with the case. The clerk i'm
mediately telegraphed for penlten-
tiary guard and Deaton will be taken
to the penitentiary today or tomor-
row.

ton to impress Thibetan officials. ana
oblge them to maintain safety ana

from northern India to the western Dor

~neighbors on the north be taught a.

PLANTATION for the ears Of the mildly IN

thus prohting by Russia's present en-
oarrassment are such as any astuta

powerful adversary. There can De no
doubt that had the sphere of influence
in Ihibet passed into Russian hands.
as mas seemed almost certain for years
past, India would have proved a yer-

that England will give up the ire

gained. save by compulsion of a.

RAISING SQUADS FOR MARkE-
Demand Has Given Rise to Quite ar
Imnortant Industry

Outdoors: Up to a very few years age
pigeon raising was considered a boys
sport only, but their interesting ways, the
fascination OF breeding them for the show
pen and the demand for squads by hotels
and restaurants prompted a few men to
take them up as a recreation or a bust
ness, and the success OF these few caused
others to join them until now 1t has be-
come quite a large industry. We will
first take up the breeding Of pigeons for
SQUAD selling.
There IS only one variety Of pigeon
used for this purpose-the comTnon Varie-
ty. They are worth nothing for the show
pen, but are very prolific, each pair rear
ing eight or nine pairs of squads a year.
1t takes squads but one month to ma.
ture, that is, they are full growp and
ready for market one month from hatch
ing. The old birds have made their sec
ong nest and laid their eggs before the
last young ones are grown. 1t takes the
eggs eighteen days to hatch, so that about
every month and a half there is q pair of
squads ready for market from each pair.
The principal food for pigeons Is wheat,
though a little cracked corn with this is
good for them.
Cleanliness and system mean success
witt squads, and though much Is said to
the contrary they require considerable
care in order to get the very best results
They do well in nearly any climate,
though a place where the winters are
short and not severe IS the best. The
southern states and California are the
best suited for this industry. and they
contain many farms which make a spe.
cialty of SQUAD raising. One farm In Cal
ifornia has nearly 200, 900 old birds.

A ROUTINE SESSION.
The Convention Accomplished Nothing
While Waiting on Resolutions.

st. Louis, July S,-The democratic ma
tional convention spent the morning
hours today in waiting for the report
Of the committee on resolutions. A
committee was appointed by Chairman
Clark to call or the resolutions commits
tee and learn when the platform would
be submitted to the convention.
just before the noon hour the conVen
TONS elnissaries announced the resolu-
lions committee would require until 8
o'clock tonight to prepare its report,
but that the action of the committee
would be unanimous, and a platform
would be submitted which, they de-
clared, would bring the party a "glori-
Gus victory" The convention then took
a recess until 5 o'clock.
Chairman Clark had the convention
IN hand from the moment the proceed
fngs opened. He announced, through q
strong-voiced assistant, THAT the first
person raising a row will be thrown out
by the police" After the committee
had been dispatched to learn the pleas
ure of the resolutions committee, the
band gave a concert of popular and
patriotic selections.
Bourke Cochran was called for to ad-
dress the convention, out he was not
present. Former Senator Charles A.
Towne was next invited to the plat
form, but he declined. Captain Rich
L - W. lopSol was TIE HGAl
choice, and was enthusiastically
cheered. He spoke principally in re-
latlon to the disfranchisement plank OF
the republican Platform, and made an
appeal to the north and west to support
the south in the position the democrats
of that section have assumed as be.
tween the whites and the blacks.
A Speech by Hobson.
At 1887 a. m. Richmond Pearson
Hobson appeared on the platfrom in re-
Spouse to a call for a speech.
Hobson revealed the best and strong
est voice thus far heard in the conven-
ton. He said only a president brave
enough to enforce the law against a
labor union violator of law was a demo.
cratic president. He passed on to thu
color question and declared that when
the black or yellow races came into
contact with white people, IL that race
would not commits suicide they must
remain absolutely distanced. He de-
clared that Booker Y. WASHINGTON
would soon outlive his undoubted use
fulness If he did not cease to yield to
the teachings and influences of the re.
publican party and its chieftain.
The speaker worked himself into q
high pitch Of excitement, as with &
white face and ringing voice he drew
a picture Of the approaching battle be,
tween the parties and concluded will
the words
Let us make the republicans name
the battlefield and let us make them
call 1t Waterloo"
At 1853 the convention adjourned
until s tonight,
