that following his death the rumor
spread that he had not committed
suicide, but that he was still alive.
These rumors received no credence
from persons in Darlington informed
Of the circumstances, but they be-
came so prevalent that one Of the
companies IN which he was insured,
the Fidelity Mutual, refused to pay
the policy upon his life without ad-
ditional proof OF his death. It's at
torney moved before Judge r. Z.
Watts some weeks ago for a man
6amus, compelling the coroner OF
Darlington to open the grave and
make an investigation. Judge Watts
refused to grant the order. Now 1t
Is understood the examination is to
be made under the direction OF the
coroner by the consent OF all par
ties concerned. The policy held In
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
was paid long ago. 1t is believed
that the only objection held by any
one to this examination was the nat
ural feeling of delicacy and repug-
nance to notoriety on the part Of the
dead mans family.

THE CALHOUN STATUE.
There Will Be Difficulty In Finding a
Place For Il.

Place For Il.
Referring to the fact that men,
bers Of the Kings Mountain chapter
D. A. r. are writing to South Caro-
lima representatives with reference
to the placing Of statue of John C.
Calhoun in the Statuary Hall, w. w.
Price writes his South Carolina pa
pers as follows:
1t is the purpose Of these ladies to
have placed in the hall Of fame" or
statuary hall, as 1t Is generally
known, either a bronze or marble
figure of Mr.. Calhoun. 1t Is their
purpose also to have the legislature
of the state appropriate a sufficient
sum to pay the cost of making the
figure, and II that Is done then the
representatives here will be asked to
go to work and find place for 1t
in the hall.
Each state is entitled to two stat
ues of its great men; South Carolina
at present Is the only state which
has none, and these ladies who have
written the members of the delega-
ton concerning the matter want to
know II those from South Carolina
can go in, provided a place Is made
for them.
There is only one woman in the
hall at present-Francis E. Willard
and when her statue was placed
there about a year ago. there was
not room for her without moving
Washington. and he now shows up
from behind the great temperance
lecturer There was great howl
made when this figure of Washington
went into the corner where II Is
rarely ever seen. and there were
many who thought that the Willard
statue should not have been placed
in the hall until proper accommoda-
tions were made for 1t.
1t Is not known where the South
Carolina statue will be placed II the
plan is carried out, as every available
inch of room Is now occupied.

it is safe to say that he will take with
him only the best of good wishes for
future success. Mr.. Moore expects to

Mr.. F. H. Dover Of Grover, N. c.,
was in Yorkville Wednesday on busi-
ness. He came through the country
and found the roads in a horrible con-
dition: but naturally felt very much
relieved when he reached Yorkville.
Speaking to the reporter, he said, Il
have just been making a kind Of rem
iniscent comparison with the situation
as presented now and fifty years ago,
when I made my first visit to this
place. My most vivid recollection of
my first trip to Yorkville concerns the
mud. The streets were so muddy that
1t was almost impossible to get across
them. did not see It; but I remem-
ber hearing of teams being mired up
so badly that they had to be priced out.
1t was not much of town then-not
nearly so many houses as now; but /
tell you what you are growing quite
rapidly. Every time I come I can see
where you have filled up lots of
cracks"

George Robinson, colored, was SER
iously, If not mortally shot by Wallace
Jackson, also colored, last Wednesday
night between 8 and 9 o'clock. The
shooting occurred at Jackson's home
in the southwestern part of town and
obtainable, 1t appears 1t was because
Of a woman The story Is that Jack
son had taken possession of Robin
sons wife, and had her at his home
Robinson made arrangements to move
to Rock Hill and went to Jacksoa's
home to persuade the woman to go
with him. He called for the woman
at the door but she would not come
out. Then he went inside. Jackson
Immediately pounced on him and
knocked him down. Robinson, after
Jackson had beaten him more or less
severely got up and started to run,
whereupon Jackson drew a revolver
and fired five shots. Robinson fell
and subsequent examination showed
that he had been hit twice. One bull
let struck him in the back Of the head
and glanced off. The other penetrated
his lungs and went entirely through
his body. Immediately after the
shooting Jackson ran away, and when
the officers of the law appeared on the
scene shortly afterward they were un-
able to get any information as to his
whereabouts. A blood hound belong
ing to ex-Sheriff Logan was procured;
but 1t was unable to strike a trail.
The doctors are unable to say definite
ly what will be the result Of Robin
sons wounds but they think his con-
dition Is very serious, the danger COM
ing more particularly from pneumo-
mia, which Is liable to set in at any
moment. Jackson has been about
Yorkville for a good many years, act
ing as handy man around stores, run
ming small stores himself and selling
whisky. He Is said to have shot two
negroes at different times before this.
The common opinion Is that he has
not gore very far away; but Is still
hiding somewhere in the community.

FACTIONS IN RUSSIA.
Different Ideas For Which the People

Different Ideas For Which the People
of the Disturbed Ideas Stand.
The following explanation Of terms
that have become familiar in cables
from Russia will be interesting:
ProIetariat-Instead Of calling them
selves workrhen, the Russian laborers
refer to themselves as the proletar-
lat.
Black Hundred are the loyalists
among the workmen. They want re-
forms, but at the same time they
have not lost their Unborn respect for
the czar and religion. They regard
as enemies all those who attack the
czar and religion.
InteIlectuals.-A general term ap-
piled to the Russian people apart
from the proletariat and reactiona-
ries. They are educated Russians
who are trying to liberalize the gov
rnment and are split up into iHnu-
merable parties who have great diff
ficulty in working together.
constitutionalists are small body
who are opposed to violent means for
securing freedom for Russia They
want all reforms to come from the
duma, the new Russian parliament.
Christian Democrats are followers
of Tolostoy, who oppose all resist
ance to the bureaucracy and who
want the establishment Of a Coop
eratiye community through the abo-
iition of private ownership Of land.
Bund.-The Jewish revolutionary
organization, which is working for
the establishment of full local gov
ernment for Poland. 1t Is the best
Organized revolutionary force In Rus
sia and its work In Warsaw has COM
pletely terrorized the local author
tiles there.
Zennstovoists are the members OF
the various municipal governments OF
Russia who were the first to begin a
systematic agitation this year for the
granting of a constitution.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Lancaster special of January Is
to Columbia State: DR.. E. s. Nc
Dow, who has been in Jail since the
shooting Of Mr.. Hazel Witherspoon
on the 9Th instant, was granted bail
this afternoon in the sum Of $500 by
Magistrate Caskey, physicians having
certified that Mr.. Witherspoon Is out
Of danger. Attorney Trantham of
Camden, is DR.. McDow's counsel. Mr..
Witherspoon, who is now able to be
up, went over to Chester last even
ing and had the bullet in his body To-
Gated by means Of the X-ray. The
ball was found next to the third rib,
but was not removed, as II is doing Ito
harm.
The president yesterday sent to
the senate the nomination Of Ernest
F. Cochran Of Anderson to be United
States attorney for South Carolina,
thereby displacing John G. Capers
against whom charges were filed be-
fore the department Of justice. The
matter will create a sensation In
South Carolina. The charges were
Investigated by Attorney General
Moody, who decided 1t would be bet
ter not to recommend Caper's reap
pointment. The attorney general
had his attention called to the con-
duct Of some cases in South Carolina
and come to the conclusion that their
management was open to criticism
Mr.. Cochran was not a candidate for
United States attorney. He was at
one timet assistant attorney under Ca
pers, but resigned some time ago
His appointment to succeed Capers
will make him likely a candidate for
United States Judge Of the new dis
trict. 1t has not been decided who
will succeed Capers as patronage dis
penser in South Carolina. Cochran
is not inclined to want to attend to
that work.
During last Tuesday the celebrated

ment is made not only in the South
Carolina newspapers but in those Of
Louisville, Cincinnati, Baltimore and
Pittsburg, and a feature Of the bill
Is that all liquors are to be obtained
from government bonded warehouses.
These bids are to be opened by the
commissioner in the presence Of three
citizens appointed by the governor and
not eligible to serve more than once.
The whisky must be pure and this
must be certified by statement. II

most Of them are reflections, was not
regularly conducted. The 15 cent move
Is a very unfortunate one at this

THE supreme court has declined to
rule ]. S. Farnum for contempt In
Withholding certain papers he was or
dered to give up to the dispensary in
vestigating committee. The facts in
the case are about like this. The COM
mittee went into the dispensary at
! Charleston and looked over some pa
pers of dispenser Farnum that threw
lots of light on the manner in which
individuals were running the dispen-
sary machine for their personal bene-
fit. The committee wanted those pa
pers. Farnum consulted counsel and
found that the committee was without
power to take them without an order
of court and he refused to give them
up. The committee applied to the
court for the order, in the meantime,
hands of Farnum. In due course of
| time the court ordered the delivery of
the papers forthwith. This due course
of time was long enough almost 20 al
age. But there was no forthwith bus
mess about Mr.. Farnum. He said that
the papers had been sent off to a
friend in Georgia for safe keeping and
that friend was away out in Mississip-
! pi beyond the reach of any kind of i'm
mediate communication, hunting The
court, of course. decided to wait. 1t
could not do anything else. Courts
don't generally do things in a hurry,
unless they want to, and whether they
want to, often depends upon circum-
stances. This is particularly the case
in dispensary matters. But anyhow,
such papers as Mr.. Farnum saw prop
er to turn over. announced that it
would look them over and give the
committee such as seemed to bear on
that the members of the committee had
taken the trouble to make copies of GER
tain papers that seemed to be especial
ly interesting. This was before there
had been any opportunity for hocus
pocus. The originals of the papers so
copied We're not among those turned
over by the court, and the members of
the committee brought the matter to
the attention of the court in an aftida-
Wit 1t looked very much as If Mr..
Farnum was in for trouble-that he
had been fairly caught and would have
to be ruled for contempt. But the out
come was not as expected. Farnums

WHILE on its face the oil inspection
bill recently introduced in the house
appears to be a good thing, oil con-
sumers should be rather slow about
giving it their approval The Standard
Oil company is a great concern which
has the people by the throat and which
is able to do pretty much as 1t pleases.
There is little doubt of that fact. And
we do not believe the people Of this
country have any reason for especial
ly kind feelings toward the Standard
Oil company. But all this gives no
justification for the passage Of the In
spection bill. This bill as we see 1t Is
merely a scheme to create another Of
flee and the people will have to pay
the expense. The sponsor of the bill,
Of course, tells us that the oil people
will have to pay; but the people have
already learned enough to know bet
ter than that. The expense may be
charged against the sellers Of oil; but
they will collect 1t from consumers.
We have been told also that this state
is compelled to have an oil inspection
law in self-defense; that all neighbor-
ing states have such laws and rejected
oil is dumped over in this state, where
the people cannot help themselves be-
cause they have no oil inspector. AS
matter of fact, we have good reason
to know that this Is more or less bum
combe Oil Inspection amounts to
practically nothing anywhere. Inspec-
tors sometimes turn down a tank or
two to make a show Of earning their
salary. This oil is generally as good as
that which has been passed, and 1t Is
sent by the oil people to another state
where the inspector approves 1t and
makes his own show Of vigilance on
some other tank that is no better and
no worse. The position Of oil in
spector Is just soft snap, something
like the railroad commission, affording
the incumbent the opportunity to graft
the oil company just as the railroad
commission CRAFTS the railroad. Neith-
er oil inspectors or railroad commits
sioners are of any value to. the people.
