New Dispensary Board not

The State, March 2nd: Yes
terday was the time Tor the new
board OF dispensary directors to
take charge of the business of the
institution but they did not.
This, however, was not their
fault, as they had no commits

Narrow Escape from Horri-
BILE Death.

MIR. Joseph Helms, who works
in the Monroe Oil Mill, had a
very narrow escape from a hor
rible death a lew days ago. A
set screw on a piece of shafting
caught his overall Jacket and tore
it off with the exception of the
left sleeve, which was being rap.
idly whirled around tne shaftinp,
drawing the unfortunate man to
it. John Medlin, a colored la.
borer, with rare presence of mind,
pulled out a pocket knife and
used it in cutting the jacket. 1t
was quick and fine work on the
part of the colored man.-Mon-

Senator Tillman.
Comments BY a l. e a di n g
Tennessee Paper on the
New Honors of the Senior
Senator of South Carolina

An esteemed subscriber of The
Lancaster News residing in
Clinton, Tenn, has sent US the
following clipping from a recent
issue of the Knoxville, Tenn.
Sentinel
For the second time Senator
lillman makes the report from
the senate committee on inter
state commerce. First he re
ported the bill for an investiga-
ton of the railroads in their re
latlons to coal companies, now
he is to report the great railroad
rate regulation bill. AS Mr.
Aldrich truly said, it Is really q
democratic measure. The South
Carolina senator says it is not
an honor he sought or desired
but he will do his best to secure
the passage of the bill. Won't
1t be gall or worm-wood, how
ever, for the republicans to have
the hated South Carolinian rep,
resent the president on the floor
OF the senate in leading the fight
Tor The measure which the presi.
dent has most urged? At the
same time Mr.. Tillman is doing
such great work for his country
at Washington his enemies are
seeking to undermine him at
home. He, however, has the
opposition pretty well scotched.
A state which has a man with
great influence at the capital
makes a grievous mistake to
turn him down. A United States
senator, with a good record, ard
holding important committee
places, is worth a dozen repre-.
sentatives.

Jumped Into a Well
To E SC a Pc a Mob---Lee
Wright, After Numbering
His Sweetheart and Shoot
Her Uncle and Aunt, Tries
to Get Away.

Cartersville, Ca, Feb. 2S.-
Charged by a mob, bent on
lynching him for killing his sweet
heart and fatally wounding her
uncle and aunt, Lee Wright
leaped into a well sixty feet deep
and received injuries which will
probably cost him his life.
Besides the injuries sustained
from the headlong plunge into
the well, Wright was shot twice
by the pursuing mob. Wright
would have been left to drown in
the we'll but for the arrival of
the sheriff, VINO, by displaying
pistols and threatening to kill,
quieted the mob and forced some
members OF it 10 help him draw
the murderer from The we'll.
Wright crime was due to insane
jealousy. Because of his drink
ing Annie Mcintyre, his sweet
heart, refused to marry him af
ter the wedding day had been
fixed. Wright then procured ii
shotgun, returned to his sweet
hearts residence and shot her
dead. The girls aunt denounced
him and Wright shot her. Mean.
while the girls uncle procured a
gun and attempted to arrest
Wright, but the latter shot the
uncle. Both uncle and aunt
will probably die Wright asd,
pursued by the mob. The mur.
derer, seeing capture inevitable,
leaped on the wall of the well
and deliberately threw himself
into its depths.

Former Gaffney Hotel Man

Once when Solicitor Sease was
examining her, he told her to tell
all she knew OF certain part Of
the affair. "And don't let's have

attorneys for Hasty. At this Mr..
Sease seemed to be a little yexed
and he declared vehemently that
his witness was not acting, but
was telling the truth.

VETOED BY PENNKPACK FIR.
Resolution Providing for Investigation
 of Coal Roads.

Harrisburg, Pa, March Ex-Governor Pennypacker to-day vetoed the resolu- tion providing for an investigation by a special committee into the affairs of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad company and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, and the resolution directing the attorney general to inquire by what right the Pennsylvania and other railroads in this state are engaged in the anthra- cite coal-mining business.
 Both of these resolutions were passed by the recent extra session of the Penn sylvania legislature and were vetoed the governor states, because they were not germane to the call for the session. The governor also declines to approve the resolution requesting him to call an extra session for the enactment of leg isation for a two-cent passenger rate on the railroads in this state, and the resolution for legislation giving trolley companies the right to carry freight,

FRENCH NATAL INCREASE.
Minister of Marine Creates Enthusiasm
 in Chamber of Deputies.

in Chamber or DepGtleSs
 Paris, March 6.-M. Lockroy, former minister of marine, took advantage of the discussion of the naval budget in the chamber of deputies to-day to make a powerful appeal for the strengthening of the navy, which aroused the enthu- siasm of the whole house. Comparing the French and German navies, M Lockroy pointed out that if the present programme of France is not augmented Germany will soon outslrtp France Should war between France and Ger many break out, the orator said, it would begin with a naval battle, and, therefore, a doubly powerful French fleet was necessary owing to the need of France to defend herself both in the North Sea and in the Mediterranean. The strengthening of national defense, in M. Lockroy's opinion, was the best guarantee of peace. for it was neces- sary to prepare for war if the nation did not desire to invite invasion. The necessity to defend territory became greater with the progress of social de- velopment.
 M. Doumer, the president of the dep utias, on behalf of the chamber, thank ed M Lockroy for his patriotic declar- ation, but regretted the insufficiency of the budget. He admitted the weakness of the navy, strongly seconding M. Lockroy, contending that the army needed the support of a powerful navy.
