Alex Harris, residing eight miles
southeast of the city, had bad
smashup while returning home
from Sharon one evening last week.
His horse became frightened at
flock of quail that flew up at the
side of the road and before Alex
knew what was happening he lit
on his head in the road and the
horse and buggy were going
through space. Mr.. Har ris was
rendered unconscious for at least a
quarter OF an hour by the jolt.
When he regained consciousness he
at once instituted a search for the
outfit and it didn't take long to To-
cate it. The buggy was badly de-
molished but the horse escaped in
jury. The buggy belonged to F.
K. Hayes who was doing some car
penter work at the Harris farm
when the accident happened. Mr.. |
Harris had a pretty narrow escape.

The Whiskey Was Released.

The United States government has
released the ia barrels Of whiskey
seized some time ago at the State dis
pensary as the property of the Deep
Springs Distiling Company Of Savan-
nah. 1t Will be recalled that the
whiskey. valued at about 10000. was
taken by the revenue department be-
cause of failure to properly state the
tare or gauge and because Of technical
violations of the laws on these points
The proper statement has since been
made to the government and an order
has been received from WASHINGTON to
release the whiskey. 1t will be turn
ed over to the State dispensary, the
purchaser, if arrangements are so
made With the State board Of control

Who's the Liar?

Washington, May 13.-Senator TILL
man, who yesterday made a statement
in the senate covering the dtails Of
his and Senator, Bailey's negotiations
through ex-senator Chandler with
President Roosevelt, regarding the
rate bill, tonight made public a por-
ton Of a. written statement made to
him by Mr. Chandler Of the last
named various conferences with the
president on this subject. The portion
given out by Mr.. Tillman is largely
repetition Of Of the part Of his state
ment in the Senate yesterday. It COW
ers, however, that portion where Mr..
Tillman had quoted Mr.. Chandler as
saying that the president had stated
that he had come to complete disa-
greernent with the senatorial lawyers
who were trying to defeat or injure
the bill, naming Knox, Spooner and
Foraker, regarding which statement
Senator Lodge subsequently said he
was authorized to say from the White
House that it was an unqualified false
hood. On this subject Mr.. Chandler,
referring to the president, said, in his
written statement: He said that he
had been much troubled by the advo-
cacy of an unlimited court review by
some Of the lawyers Of the senate,
naming Senators Knox. Spooner and
FORAKER as trying to injure or defeat
the bill by ingenious constitutional ar
guments, but that he had come to
complete disagreement with them. He
made this point emphatic by repeti-
ton"

Washington, D. c., May 12.-fhe
senate proceedings today were de-
voted exclusively to the consideration
OF the railroad rate bill, and they in
cluded many interesting and some SEN
sational features. OF the latter class
was a statement by Senator Tillman,
covering the details Of his and Sena-
.or Bailey's negotiations, through Tx
senator Chandler, with the President
regarding the rate bill, and Senator
Lodges reply for the president to the
statement. Scarcely less exciting was
an attack made upon the President by
Senator Bailey and defense by Sen
ator Carter.
In his statement Senator Tillman
said that the President had referred
slightingly to to Senator'S Knox, Fora
yer and Spooner, and in his answer
Senator. Lodge said that the President
had characterized the statement as a
falsehood-
Senator Bailey's criticism of the
President was made in response to a
speech by Senator Carter, lauding the
Chief Executive n-high terms, and
contrasting his course with that Of the
Texas Senator and other Democrats
who had, ne said, done comparatively
little Il, meet the demands Of the peo-
ple for railroad legislation. Senator
Bailey accused the President of varia-
bility, and said that instead Of being
man Of iron he is man Of clay, stand
very common clay
The actual accomplishments OF the
day consisted in the completion Of the
consideration Of the Allison amend
ments, covering the questions of a re-
view by the Courts Of the orders OF
the Interstate commerce commission.
There were several Of the provisions,
and all were accepted as presented or
suggested by the Iowa Senator, show
ing an almost perfect agreement
among Republican Senators. Indeed,
one Of the noteworthy features Of the
day was the practical unanimity OF
the Republicans. They not only
voted almost solidly for the Allison
amendments, but were just as nearly
united against opposing propositions.
Senator LaFollette continued to act
with the Democrats.
The session began at II o'clock and
continuer until almost s. and when an
adjournment was reached there was
still prospect of much debate fo1

The Democratic state convention
will be called to order in the hall Of
the House of Representatives next
Wednesday att noon by State Chair
man Willie Jones. He has requested
the following to act as temporary seq
retaries: Geo. r. Koester Of Columbias
Jas. T. Parks Of Orangeburg, and T.
C. Hamer of Bennettsville. The con-
vention will be opened with prayer by
Rev. S. NJ. Smith of Columbia.
In order to expedite the organiza-
ton of the convention, Chairman
Jones is having a roll of its elected
membership prepared. The name Of
the delegates and alternates elected
Dy each county are, being sent in by
the county chairman and members Of
the State executive committee. He has
done this for previous conventions and
by accepting this roll subject to cor
rections, two or more hours are saved
in the organization.
For permanent chairman Of the
convention there will probably be
several candidate Friends of ex-
Governor McSweeney are anxious to
present his name. Col. Robert Aid
rich and J. VIM. Thurmond have also
been mentioned in this connection. It
is probable the prohibitionists will
center upon a candidate for chairman
and it is said that DR.. Geo. B. Cromer
Of Newberry, will probably be their
man.
1t seems to be the consensus Of
opinion that Gen. Willie Jones will be
reelected State chairman with Glt op-
position as recognition Of his fair
ness and imparitality and the thor
oughness with which he discharges
even the minutest details of the Office.
All factions are satisfied that with
him as state chairman they will get
an absolutely square deal.
Commissioner Watson leaves here
Friday night for Charleston for the
purpose of accompanying the men,
bers of the historic South Carolina Ag-
ricultural Society on their annual OUT
ing trip in a steamer up Cooper river.
The object of the conference with Com
missioner Watson is to arrange for a.
general convention of the representa-
tives of ali the coast counties to be
h Id in Charleston with a view to
drafting and agreeing upon general
bill to be presented to the next legis-
lature looking to draining the entire
coast country through bond issue to
be predicated upon small continu-
ing tax to be levied against the lands
to be drained.
The idea is to have the bill pattern
ed after the Indiana law on this SUBJ
ject, this law having stood the tests
of the courts. The valuable coast Sec
tions of Oregon and California have
been reclaimed in this way. 1t is
proposed to drain the South Carolina
rice and other lands in sections Of fifty
square miles, a commission being au-
thorized by the proposed act for each.
section and the draining to be done at
once from the sale of the bonds, which
| will be retired gradually by the tax.

Columbia, May 10.-Governor Hey
ward was pleasantly surprised last
night by visit from a committee,
representing his staff, which presented
to him very handsome silver service
Of five pieces. The members Of the
staff took occasion to call when it was
known that Gov. Hayward would be
at the mansion on a business engage
Tnent, and the entire visit was a great
surprise ito his eXcellency.
The object of the visit of so many
militia officers in uniform was some
what of a puzzle to Governor Hey
ward at first until the large case con-
tanning the silver service was taken
into the drawing room. He was then
apprised by his chief Of staff, Gen.
'Jno. D. Frost, Of the occasion for the
formal call Governor Hayward was
for once taken entirely off his feet, and
he was overwhelmed by the senti-
rnents conveyed in Gen. Frost's speech
of presentation, but he easily recover
ed his usual poise and made acknowl-
edgement gracefully and with evident
feeling.
Some time ago Governor Hayward
suffered the misfortune to lost a valu-
able horse, and the members of his
staff, prompted by the commissary
general, Col. Watty G. Smith of
Orangeburg, proposed to present him
with another saddle animal. From
this the movement took broader
form and finally it was decided 10 offer
a testimonial which would last longer

wiser course in the charges against DR..
Heber Newton of leaving that ''heresy" to
correct itself. To expel from the Episcopal
communion all who nowadays subscribe
to views deemed dangerous fifteen years
ago would be formidable undertaking.
Episcopalians along with other sects are
asking themselves what Is behind the ex-
traordinary growth of Christian Science.
Why have the adherents of the new faith
increased eightfold within ten years. pass
ing the Unaversalists In number and al
most eQualing the strength of Unitarian
ism. Their converts represent loss from
the orthodox denominations, for except for
negligible number of former non-church-
goers they have been recruited from Bap-
fist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Episco-
pal churches. even from Jewish synagogues.
The offhand and no doubt the main ex-
PLANTATION of the vitality of the new faith
is the appeal 1t makes through the spiritual
healing of disease. The institution of a
class of healing by the Emanuel Epis-
testimony to the present recognition of this
principle by other communions.
But beyond this fundamental doctrine.
Christian Science must be thought TO be
gaining at the expense of the older denom-
nations by reason OF the latitude of belief
it permits. BY going to the Bible direct for
what the Bible has to teach, with no In
termdiary but the explanatory commentary
OF its founder. IL avoids all subjects Tor
controversy. Having no sermons, Ii al
fords no inlet for higher criticism" Ii
rules out ritual and dogma unessentaI
and averts all danger of dssension over
incense and altar candles. Contention re-
garding predestination or infant damnation
and subtleties of dispute concerning tran
substantiation do not arise, for there Is
nothing to provoke them.
Are not these important causes of the
inroads Christian Science is making on the
orthodox churches? Are they met by dis
cipining pastors for doctrinal transgres-
sions?
