SHERIFF BLAMED
FOR LYRGHING

Washington, Mar. 23-It is prob
able that as result Of the special
session of the United States supreme
court Yesterday, at the home Of Chief
Justice Fuller, the Chattanooga
sheriff from whose custody the
negro, Ed. johnson, was taken Nom
day night and lynched, will be ar
rested for contempt. II is believed
that orders have already been sent BY
the department Of justice to the dis-
Itrict attorney at Knoxville to tais
effect. The contempt of court al.
legged lies in the fact that the sheriff
failed to carry out the mandate Of
the court issued last Monday, which
granted stay of execution to JonE-
son, and commanded the sheriff TO
keep the negro in custody pending
further action on his appeal.
President Roosevelt has interested
himself in the case and has INSTRUCT
ed the department Of justice to aid
the Tennessee state authorities III
bringing the members Of the moo TO
Justice. Secret service men are un-
dcrstood to be on the scene gathering
evidence as to the Identity Of the
tlynchcrs.

To the voters of Lexington county:
In not entering the race for the
House of Representatives, I do it with
regret, but for reasons beyond my
control. I could not have made the
campaign, however, thank you for
the confidence reposed in me two
years ago, and I assure you I will
always remember you even if don't
have the pleasure of serving you again,
but hope such will not be the case
as true citizen stands always ready
to obey the commands of his countryl

l y
barrel or two Of Teddy's Iron nerve"
Immediately after the speaking, the
! candidates for the House got together
for the purpose of organizing. Mr..
! Joab Edwards was elected chairman,
and Mr.. J. M. Epting, secretary. 1t
was decided that each man was to be
allowed twenty-five minutes in which
to speak.
Gilbert, August 1o.-Three days of
campaigning have brought out moth
ing new of any Importance; whiskey
is still the issue.
Mr.. Sharpe had first shot today. He
read his platform and says ne will
stand by it. He says if he is sent to
the legislature he will not only vote,
but will discuss the issues.
Mr.. Wingard again brought out his
majority rule" He indulged in no
idle talk, but went directly into the
questions of Importance. He believes
it mans duty as good citizen to see
that economy is used in every branch
of the government.
Mr.. Sturkie spent most of his time
in his criticism of our present delega-
tion for the passage Of an act affecting
the railroad tax in the Fork.
Mr. Edwards still talks prohibition.
He read his platform, but hardly fin
ished discussing it before time was
called on him. He still insists that
the dispensary is undemocratic, and
the prohibition of the liquor traffic
ought to be the goal of every true
citizen.
Mr.. Gunnell made about the same
speech as before. He has no political
record, but comes as practical busi-
ness man. He is opposed to the bureau
of immigration, and wants it abol-
ished.
Messrs. Etheredge and Epting took
most of their time in proving them
selves clear of the charge made by
Mr.. Sturkie. They discussed the act
of 1885, which created the trouble,
and for which they are in no wise re-
sponsible, They further claim that
the act passed by them in 1906 does
not affect single taxpayer on the
south side of the Saluda river.
Messrs. Lindler, Dent and Derrick
for Auditor, and Mr.. Martin for Pro-
bate Judge, put forth their claims for
the office to which they aspire.
The campaign party enjoyed more
comfort at the Gilbert meeting than
any previous meeting, and to cap the
climax the Ladies String Band of
Ethan furnished very sweet music
during the day. Some of the candi-
dates thought their time to depart
had come, while others were visibly
affected by the sweet strains.

Brookland, touched lightly the labor
question. He thinks the employer
and the employee can best bring the
desired reduction in hours at the same
rate of wages. He does not want to
break into the harmonious relations
now existing between labor and capi-
tai. We take it that he refers to con-
diticns in Lexington county-South
Carolina, at most. He wants to see
every white boy and girl in this broad
land to receive good common school
education; he stands for such taxa
ton as will be for the betterment of
the people. He advises: eff the dis
pensary is abolished you will have to
go down in your jeans to make up the
deficit"
The candidates for the legislature
are taking most of the time; but some
of the gentlemen seeking other county
Offices wedged in few words. Judge
Drafts and Mr.. Martin for Probate
Judge addressed the crowd.
The men for Supervisor agreed to
make no speech here today.
Frank w. Shealy, for Treasurer,
was introduced. He read the figures
which tell the financial tale of Lex
ington county. .Messrs. Koon and
Oswald, the other aspirants for this
Office were called, but did not re-
spond.
Messrs. Derrick and Dent, for Audi
tor, both said they were strangers and
wanted to be taken in. They are both
teachers, and claim to be able to hold
down the Office.
Only three of the eleven candidates
for Commissioner spoke They were,
Messrs. Hendrix, Baughman and S.
Rufus Smith.
HON. a. F. LEVERS SPEECH.
Congressman A. F. Lever addressed
the people at the county campaign
meeting here today. For some reason
Mr.. Lever has HAD 10 opportunity Of
speaking to the people in this part of
the district before; hence they listen
ed to him closely. He shucked off
his coat and cuffs and made q plain,
straightforward talk. He was earnest
and humorous by turns. He threw
all sorts of pretty talk to the ladies,
and gave them gentle reminder by
saying that he was an old bachelor
looking out for a wife. This writer
heard an Aiken lady remark that she
thought our ''musk-rat" congressman
would be soft snap; and she wanted
me to tell her all knew about him,
but-well, I didn't have the heart to
tell her.
Mr.. Lever said that the standing of
member Of congress was judged by
his character and position on COM
mittees. He informed US that during
the next session he will be the second
Democrat on the great agricultural
committee which last year carried the
tremendous sum Of ten million dollars.
He urged that, as matter of benefit
to the people, a member should be
kept in congress as long as he does
not betray the confidence placed in
him. He plead with the people to
vote in the general election in order
that he might make a good showing
when it came 10 that detestable negro
contest business. Mr.. Lever said he
was the only man from South Caro-
lima, who had won contest of this
kind since the war.
He calls on his constituents to go
into diversihcatioA of farming; to en-
gage in hog and cattle raising ard the
dairy business; and above all, to live
at home.
Mr.. Lever is growing stronger and
stronger in public favor, and some
dly we hope to see in him something

ion by the parents, but not by the
trustees. The government should not
meddle in domestic affairs, such as
compulsory education, vaccination,
etc. "Who," he asks, ''is better able
than the parents to say whether the
children should go to school or not.
The children belong to the parents;
let the parents say what shall be done
with them"
MR.. T. c. STURKIE
Then addressed the crowd. Quite a
good number of ladies were present
and Mr.. Sturkie remarked that this
was good indication of good sur
roundings. He felt complimented for
the good vote given him two years
ago. Taxation" he said, fought to
be the paramount ISSUE" He stressed
the need of legislation in regard to
good roads, the common schools, etc.
He thinks the colleges can take care
of themselves. He wants the people
to know that he shall always be a
friend of the common and the graded
schools.
He said it was strange that the
'whiskey question should be the para
mount issue. "It cuts the candidates
down to one or two problems" he
said. "My opinion is that the people
should have the right to say just what
they want-whether dispensary or
prohibition, or what not" he voiced.
''This question ought to be settled by
the Democratic voters of the county.
A representative should not throttle a
dispensary down the peoples throat;
let the people vote for what they
want. Then let all support the major
ity man-to-man and shoulder-to-shoul-
der" He believes this to be demo-
cratic. "When you go to the polls
vote conscienciously for what you
want" he advised. Chairman Efrd
asked: care you in favor of the State
dispensary?' "The way the law is
now enforced I am against the dispen-
sary The Brice Law is a. good one,
but it needs the amendment forcing
the supervisor to order an election
when properly petitioned to do So"
In his opinion "any sensible man will
say we need better law for the
handling of liquor.''
MR.. EDWARDS
Answer to the dispensary question
was a most emphatic ono" He is in
favor of the ''Brice Law amended"
''The dispensary is an alien; it was
brought on South Carolina contrary
to her Wishes" said he.
He holds that Local option is the
good old democratic sort. He be-
lieves the dispensary is great big
piece of double machinery; and he
didn't believe man in the crowd
could tell the expenses of the great
machine.
Since Mr.. Edwards is a prohibition
ist he did not take much time in hold
ing up the hands of the dispensary. He
is squarely aginst the liquor business
and wants to seat prohibition away
up yonder somewhere.
MR.. GUNNELL
In a few short pointed statements
told who he was, what he had done,
and what he would like to be. He
was born in Fairfield county, served
in the sectional war, and for the past
ten years has been citizen of Lexing-
ton county. He thinks it is unfortun-
ate that whiskey is the one question.
He says prohibition is out of the ques-
ton, and local option is about as un-
discussable. He favors the State
dispensary and the repeal of the Brice
Law. He believes the dispensary is
the best solution, and that it can be
managed honestly.

COUNTY CAMPAIGN OPEN
Synopsis Of Speeches by Candidates
for the House, iEtc.-About 800
Present-AIl Enjoyed the Day.
BY CYRUS Z. sHEALY.

SteaQman, Aug. 80 Inc county
campaign opened today at Steadman,
a new little town about eleven miles
from Batesburg, near the Aiken line.
This town has sprung up since the
railroad was built from Batesburg to
Perry, and already it has fair start
on the road to prosperity. The mer-
chants are polite and progressive; the
people, generally are industrious, kind
and hospitable. Most everybody in
the immediate section and large
number from the Aiken side of the
Edisto attended this meeting. The
ladies' take an interest in political
affairs, and they made up full half
of the crowd.
County Chairman, Hon. G. M. Efrd;
formally opened the campaign. Mr..
Efrd made short address in which
he said that his business as county
chairman was to open the campaign
and to attend as many of the meet
ings as possible. He then read the
names of all the men who were en-
titled to speak-those who had filed
predges and paid the assessment fee.
Mr.. Efrd here officially announced
the withdrawal of Mr.. P. E. Hutto
from the race for the House.
Under action of the executive COM
mittee, the candidates for the legisla-
ture will be asked to answer the fol-
lowing questions: stAre you in favor
of the State Dispensary?" Are you
in favor of the repeal of the Brice
Law?''
Mr.. Efrd stated that in his opinion
the statement of itemized expense ac-
counts to be fled by each candidate
should begin today and run to the end
of the campaign. Another account
should be kept from the last cam
paign meeting to and including the
day of election.
According to order, (and the order
was just as the pledges were fled)
Hon. E. J. Etheredge was the first
speaker. Tomorrow, the second man
up today, will speak first; DR.. Ether
edge, Will be last, &C., &c.
HON. E. J. ETHEREDGE.
Two years ago, he said, he had
asked to be sent to the legislature.
That request had been granted. He
now comes asking to be returned to
the House. He says he has possibly
made mistakes, andwill probably make
them again; but he will do his best.
He asked that his record be examined; :;
he is out on his own merit. During
his service in the legislature, he has
been economic. ssWhile there is an
enormous appropriation that has to
be made, still fought all unnecess-
ary bills for this purpose" he said.
He opposed the Jamestown Exposi-
tien appropriation, and the purchase
of the Charleston guard house for the
Citadel. He favors giving every old
soldier pension.
In answer to the question: care
you in favor of the State dispensary?"
he stated frankly that he. was. He
is in favor of repeating the Brice
law. eff the people do not see fit to
abolish whiskey, nobody can legislate
against it. If the dispensary is aDol-
ished, we would invite lawlessness in
purchasing whiskey." He then quot
ed figures showing that the sale of
liquor in South Carolina was decreas-
ing. "The man who buys license is
in the business solely for the money !;

DAY LILIES.

Your delicate perfume
In the twilight shadowed room
Takes me back to an hour
In the land of the lotus flower,
With the lotus moon at bloom.
From lone papyrus isle
In the gloom of the middle Nile
A reed flutes slender strain,
Like haunting heart refrain.
Faltered and swelled the while.
The desert stretched away,
symphony in gray,
From the marge of the ancient stream
Where the dark genil OF dream
Dwell for aye and day.
Then a little wind there came
Wrought of the suns clear fame
And the nights cool breath, and bore
watt from an unknown shore
OF a sweetness without name.
Elusive as a Sigh,
As the souls ecstatic cry
At the tremulous touch of love,
1t lowered about-aboYe-
Then passed like a phantom by.
Passed: but it comes again
Over the murk of the main.
Back through the waste of years,
The JOY glints and the tears,
The passion and the pain.
Trihes-how oft they start
The gates of the past apart
lust a hint of perfume
In the twilight Swallowed room
Stirring the chords of the heart!

The mans heart stopped beating as he
saw the look that came into the eyes he
loved so well. The woman stared
straight before her, and her face was sci
and rigid.
