SHOT WIFE IN SHOULDER.
Domestic Troubles Lead to Shooting
In Columbia.

Columbia, Sept. 9.-Chester Moody
has been having considerable domes-
tic troubles. The reports are that
Moody is rather disposed TO loaf and
does not worry much about the bread
winning part Of life. He and his wife
have been separated some time. Not
long ago there was suit in the Mag
istrate's Court for possession of the
children and they were awarded to
the wife.
Moody has been restless and this
afternoon while his wife was on
visit to friends on Main street Moody
went to the house and deliberately
fred at her Fortunately the bullet,
intended to kill, struck the woman in
the arm near the shoulder. The
wound is not regarded as fatal, al
though quite serious. Moody made
good his escape. The police are hot
after him, and expect to arrest him
during the night. He is young man
about 25 years Of age and had pro-
nounced set of gold-filled teeth.

Carefully Planned Scheme to Kill
Emperor of Germany Frustrated
By Activity Of Secret Police.

Breslau, Prussia, Sept, IA plot
to assassinate Kaiser Wilhelm during
the present manoeuvers has just been
frustrated through the activity Of the
secret police Three anarchists who
are involved in the conspiracy against
the Emperor are under arrest. Docu-
ments fo,ic,, in the possession Of the
prisoners show conclusively that they
we're associated with the inner circle
of the international organization Of
anarchists, and that the Kaiser's
death was plotted by this organiza-
ton. All details for carrying ont the
plan were carefully arranged. The plot
was discovered just in time as the
conspirators only were waiting an op-
portunity to get near the Emperor.

RICHARD I. MANNING'S INDIG
N.iNT DENIAL OF BRIBERY
CHARGE.
lie Calls The Columbia State Down
For Its Unproven Charge That
There Is Conspiracy to Buy Elect
ion For Him.
Editor Of The State:

Editor Of The State:
In your issue Of the 6th inst, ob-
served your sensational editorial, "Is
g Gigantic Plan of Fraud Afoot?'
If any such plan is on foot, no
one will condemn it more unqualified
ly than I, and you viii find no one
who would readily and earnestly COM
mend your effort to put the people
of the State on notice Of any such
debauching and demoralizing danger
so as to prevent it.
The editorial referred to creates the
impression that am being made the
beneficiary of corrupt practices, and
coming out On the eve Of the election
is calculated to do me an injustice.
Such action by you is not in harmony
with the high ideals which you have
set up nor does it accord with the
high sense OF justice which you
claim.
T cannot believe that such a plan
could be used in South Carolina
(whether particular Instances Of brib-
cry exist or not) I resent such an
imputation against the people Of
South Carolina. I do not believe
that the people Of South Carolina are
for sale.
I am justified in denying positively
and unquadlifedly that corrupt prac-
tees are being used to secure my
election with my knowledge, consent,
.connivance or approval.
To condemn these practices regard
less Of whom they affect is right; but
to tack them to my candidacy as
contradistinguished from that OF my
opponent, on rumor or hearsay, is a
method of political work that i'll COM
ports with that of a moulder Of pub
lie opinion, and 7 Indignantly resent
it.
am is strongly in favor of pure
elections as any man in South Caro-
lima, and I will supplement your re-
ward for evidence with which to con-
Wet any bribery used to secure my
election.
will add that do not believe
that my election is desired by grafters
and corruptionists.
Richard I. Manning.

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Elect Governor, But the
Majority Is Smallest Since 1882
Democrats Carry Cities.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 11.-While
the Democrats are telling their coun-
tryrnen that the result of yesterdays
election argues a general movement
toward the old party which will
culminate in a Democratic National
victory in 1908, the Republican in
sist that the reduction Of Governor
Cobb's majority was due to local
causes only. Cobbs' majority of -
500 was the smallest the-party has
ever received since it captured the
State from the Greenbackers in 1882.
Governor Cobb and managers declare
that the Democratic gains must be
accounted for mainly by the unpopu-
larity of recent liquor legislation. AS
an evidence of this they point to the
results in the cities and large villages,
nearly all which went Democratic.
Had it not been for the small towns,
Cyrus w. Davis, the Democratic can
didate would have been elected Gov
ernor. Congressman Littlefeld's ma
jority is only 41o0. Portland, the
largest city in the State, elected the
entire Demcratic county ticket, with
a, solid Democratic representation in
the Legislature.
