STATE Democratic Executive Commit
Zee Met In Columbia Last Night
Contests Were Heard.

Columbia, Sept. 18.--Anong those
who have come here for the Bryan
celebration tomorrow are Senator A.
Latiner and Governor-elect Martin
+. Ansel. Mr.. Ansel was on the
streets this afternoon and received
many warm hand-claps and greetings.
AT the meeting of the State Demo
cratic executive cnmitsee tonight
Martin f. Ansel was declared to oe
the nominee for Governor, j. Fraser
Ivon candidate for Attorney General
and NJ. sullivan for railroad COM
missioner.
The executive committee decided
that where there was an appeal that
would hold that candidates had to
comply with the statute law requiring
itemized statements OF expenses to be
6led The committee felt that it
cn1Id not take up cases where there
were no appeals. The committee held
mat candidates who failed to file
fheir expense accounts as required by
law should be ruled out
IN the Greenville County case there
was no written evidence submitted,
but the committee held that the coun-
~ committee was right in deciding
that only candidates who had flee,
their itemized expense accounts as
REQUIRED by law were entitled to be
voted for.
IN the case of the contest from
Young,s Island, .colleton County, pre-
cfnct it was held that the box should
be counted, and if on a count OF this
box Ulmer was given 2 majority for
commissioner that ne should be de-
clared the nominee. If, however, this
box would not give Timer the neces-
sary majority, then another primary
should be held, and in this new pri-
mary no other candidate than Ulner
should be allowed to enter, as the
other candidates had failed to file
their itemized expense accounts. No
candidate who had failed to comply
with the statute law should have his
vote counted.
In the case of Georgetown there
was no formal contest or protest. The
committee had a letter, but this was
not held to be formal complaint
OF protest and the chairman was re-
auested to reply to the letter.
There was no protest from Sumter
Ina the case of the protest by CandiS
date W. n. Brown, the committee,
after hearing Mr.. Jaynes, dismissed
TIE protest and sustained the county
committee and declared Mr.. E. e.
Yerner the nominee for the Legisla-
ture from oconee. Mr.. Werner fled
his expense account, but Mr.. Brown
protested against it on the grund
that it contained certain items that
he did not think should be there,
such as a church donation and wa
termelon.

KICKED THE LID
 OFF THE COFFIN
Squaw, Mourning by Indians Grave Hears Him Trying to Get
 Out.

Indians who recently reached Bill lings from the Crow reservation, lD Montana, tell of the burial alive of Big Rock, a well known young buck of the Crows.
 Big Rock had been ill for some time, and finally the medicine men of the tribe pronounced the warrior dead and ordered the body inferred with all tEe tribal honors of the Crow nation.
 The ritual provides that the squaw must mourn for the departed over his freshly filled grave, and while this part of the ceremony was being com piled with by Mrs. Big Rock she heard her supposed dead lord making des. perate efforts to get out of his grave.
 The mound of the shallow grave heaved, according to the Indians, and the terrified squaw fled to the tepees and gave the alarm.
 The Indians at once opened the grave, to find that Big Rock had kicked off the top of his coffin and burst the sides in his efforts to escape. He had clawed his face and pulled out his hair
 Life was extinct, however, when he was taken from his coffin. The In dians reinterred the body in the same grave, and the squaw was permitted to resume her mourning.
