Our objective point was Grahamvllle'
to aid in dedicating the Euhaw church.
! The four Oldest churches in the State are
said to be the First church in Charleston,
the church at Society Hill, the Liberty
Hill and the Euhaw churches. These are
the mothers of all the Baptist churches
in South Carolina. The First church IN
Charleston dates back to 1888, and the
Euhaw to 1745. Three or four houses
have stood on the same spot, though the
original church was built seven miles
awav from the site now used. Graham
Vile is little country community OF
neople whose homes line the old Charles
ton and Savannah wagon road for mile
or more, beginning two miles from Ridge
land which is the railroad point OF de-
parture. It was the home OF the wealthy
ante-bellum planters and slaVe-owners'
and here ease and luxury once ran riot.
The camp of the Confederate soldiers
was near Grahamville during the Cos, and
four miles away the battle OF Honey bill
was fought, where 1900 drunken negroes
were moved down by the Confederate

result may be serious.
Suit has been begun by the Columbia
Water Company against the Meals Shoals
Power Company Of Union for $4,000
damages on account Of lack of water
in the Broad river. Atemporary injunc.
ton was granted before Judge Townsend
at Union last Friday, and the case will be
heard in Yorkville December 9Th. The
Union company holds the water of the
river to such an extent that several indus
tries in Columbia are idle for lack of
power.
The chief of police of Augusta notified
Governor Hayward last week that man
supposed to be D. G. Murphy had been
arrested and lodged in jail at SWANS:
boro, Ca, charged with horse stealing. 1t
will be remembered that Murphy was
sentenced to be hanged for the murder
of Treasurer Copes, of Orangeburg coun.
ty, and had his sentence commuted to
life imprisonment by Governor Ellerbe.
He escaped from the penitentiary few
years ago.
Judge R. W. Memminger at Saluda last
Thursday declined to grant the motion of
the State for change of venue in the
case of Eugene Blease for the killing of
Joe Ben Coleman, his brother in-law.
The prosecution contended that fair
trial could not be secured there because
of the political prominence and popu-
larity of Blease. The motion to change
the case to some other county was vigor-
ously resisted by the defense, and the
Judge declined to grant it. However, he
granted continuance, on motion of the
solicitor.

SOME ONE STANDS
 TO GET IN TROUBLE
Governors Proclamation Does Not h.
 clude All Places Inhibited By Board of Health.

Montgomery, July 31.-(Special.)-It looks as though some one stood a chance to get into trouble about the extension of the quarantine to all points in Louisiana when the governors proclamation does not place territory outside of New Or leans and that part of the coast between the Crescent City and the Alabama in the prohibited class. If there is any ques- tion of the matter it seems very clear that there can be no prohibition from any oth- CT section or community than those speci- fically mentioned in the proclamation of the chief executive of the state
 Last Saturday the state board of health announced that the quarantine had been increased to take in points In Louisiana not included in the last proclamation, but 1t Is learned at the office of the governor today that the matter has not yet been taken up with the governor, and he has not, Tor that reason, extended the scope of the quarantine. If there are any ar rests for coming from territory not in- cluded in the governors orders those held would be in position to make trouble, which makes it very necessary that the matter be arranged in every way legal. It is, therefore, very necessary that every quarantine officer read carefully the gov ernors proclamation
 Walter Brassell, inspector, said today that he expected Dr. w. H. Sanders, state health officer, tonight, though he may not get here until later. The gov ernor today approved accounts of the state board of health for $500 expenses of the quarantine so far

TEXAS DRAWS THE
 LINES MUCH CLOSER
Quarantine is Formally Declared Agains the Whole State of
 Louisiana.

Galveston, Tex, July 31.-The state of Texas has inaugurated another quaran- tine against the state of Louisiana with the prospect that this time it will be of much longer duration than was the state quarantine of last week
 State Health Officer Tabor tonight tele- graphed all of the inspectors of the Tex as-Louisiana border giving notice that the quarantine against infected points had been enlarged to include the entire state of Louisiana This, explained Dr. Tabor is because of the spread of the cases that occurred in Louisiana today
 Dr. Tabor stated that he has also pro- hibited persons coming through New Or leans from points beyond without frs. being detained six days on the border. He says that he proposes to make quar- antine just as light as possible, in order to prevent, if possible, an invasion of the Texas border
 The railroads from Texas having en- trance into New Orleans have already considerably curtailed their trains service and it is not improbable that this recent development will result in a complete withdrawal of passenger service east of the Sabine river.

DEKALB TO VOTE
 ON TWO QUESTIONS
SHALL COUNTY ISSUE BONDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND SHALL THERE BE LOCAL TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS.

Fort Payne. July S1.-6Specia1)- citizen of the county will be voted on on August 8. One is the bond issue, which is creating a great deal of excitement. It is proposed the county shall issue $50,00o of bonds and build pike roads in part of the county. The campaign is very warm and interesting. Judge w. c. D. Cook and M. W. Howard made two able addresses to a large audience at the court house this morning. MT. Howard is for the issuance of the bonds and Judge Cook is opposed to it.
 The other question on which the people will vote is the local taxation for school purposes. I. w. Hill, state superinten- dent of education made speech favoring local taxation today. This will doubtless carry by safe majority in this county

New Orleans, July 31.-The Picayunes s Lumberton special says:
 Drs Wasden and Donald declared a case of yellow fever here last Friday evening. The pat snt, who is an Italian, is doing well and will soon be up. There are no other cases, not even supicious one. Fortunately the infected house is na- turally isolated, and only five others were with the sick man, or in any way ex- posed. On Friday night LeBarn of the marine hospital service arrived, accom- panied by Capt. W. Hall and other mem- bers of the state militia, sent by Adjutant General Fridge. These immediately took charge.
 The house and premises were at once thoroughly fumigated, and the exposed parties isolated and placed under guard. The local military company is furnishing several of the guards. Dr. LeBaron states that he apprehends no spread of the dis ease.
 Last night some of the Italian under guard proved refractory and had to be subjected to a little rough treatment by the guards, but no serious injury was sustained, and they now seem very docile.
