CALDWELL SAYS HAsKELI,s
sTATEMIGNr is FALSE.
Will Make Cath that Re Never
Heard Of Ianahan Before In
His Life.

Willie Caldwell has been heard from
and he absolutely denies having made
tho statement Ool. John q. Haskell
OF Columbia says he heard him make
about his brother.in law, G,n. Willie
Jones. The following is q quotation
from The Records report OF Colonel
Haskell's speech at Sligh's, on Julv
81, 1906:
Haskell asserted that the dispen
sary had corrupted and besmirohed
everybody who had ever been con.
nected with 1t; that the members of
the boards of control had gone In poor
men and come out rich, but that none
OF them had come out clean.
Mr.. Weston: How about Willie
Jonesp
Colonel Haskell: 1 am not call.
Ing names, but his own brother. in.
law says Lsnahan paid for the i'm
provements Of his house. Jones is not
God Almighty to regulate tie af.
fairs OF Riohland county"
Promptly upon the appearance Of
the above, Gen. Willie Jones denied
thas Lanahan had paid for the i'm
provement Of his house and asked Col.
Haskell to specify whlah one of his
brothers-in law had made the alleged
statement.
Col. Haskell replied that he had
heard Willie Cald dwell in conversation
with some young men ia front OF
Mlot' drug store In Columbia assert
tnat Lanahan paid for improvements
Of WilieJ ones's house.
Gen. Jones replied that it was i'm.
possible for Caldwell to have made
such q statement, as Caldwell had left
Columbia two years before his house
was repaired and had never returned
to Columbia.
Lanahan promptly denied that he
had ever paid for any improvements
OF General Jones's house.
Soon as Colonel Haskell's statement
was printed, General Jones wrote q
statement Of the case to Mr.. Cald we'll,
whotBtn California, and also msileo
him 3opies Of the papers containing
reports Of the Sligh's meeting, askink
him to telegraph upon receipt there
OF. 1t takes some time for the mail
TO get from Columbia to California,
but Friday the following telegram
came to Gen. Willie Jones from Mr..
Caldwell, who had just received his
letter:
Olio, Calf, Aug. 8, 1905,
Gen. Willie Jones':
Man making statement about me
tells direct falsehood.4 Will make
oath never heard OF Lanahan before.
WAL ia M m Caldwell.
This makes complete the vindica-
tion Of General Jones from charge
that nobody ever believed.

Fox Throwing RaiIrond Spikes at an
Excursion Train.

The Florence Times says the Au.
gusta excursion train which passed
Orangoburg about two o'clock Tues.
day morning reached Florence about
five O'Clock that morning. The Times
says this excursion was not as bad as
some of the past Augusta excursions
for fghting and drinking yet there
was some mischief done to the train
by outside miscreants.
Detective O. IG Wheeler and Chief
Koopman brought two negro youths
and one white boy In for throwing
spikes at the train. The negroes are
Willie and Luther Anderson who were
arrested for throwing railroad spikes
at the train at Creston. The white
man, Ben Gartman was taken up at
Orangeburg for the same mischief.
TheBe parties win be taken back to
their native counties and dealt with
according to law.
AT BarnWell on the second section
OF the excursion FlaRman MOlenaghan
was found In an unconscious condition
with severe cash over his eye, and
1t was not known how long he had
been In this condition. When tho
train reached Denmark his wounds
were dressed by doctor and special
Car was taken by the wounded man
until he reached Florence where Doc.

circle on the ground while the sayages
brought brushwood and great logs for

Then strange thing oame. They
seemed actually TO make a sort OF re. :
ligi0us ceremony out Of this horrible
Affair. They beat their tomtoms and
pulled their hair and uttered their
Weired, gutteral cries.
THE rest is too horrible, how they
cooked their human food, how they
danced about their Victims, how at
last that company tore the smoking
human flesh to piecos with their nails
md teeth In a mad orgy.
The Chief ate first, and after dano.
ing he allowed his followers to par

to me that l surely could stand it no
longer, the sayages formed In line
and started TO march away. The
tide had flowed in and we we're freq.

MAYOR FIGHTS POLICEMAN.
Another Lively Sorimmage In Stron-
uous Cherokee County.

Another Lively Sorimmage In Siren
uous Cherokee County.
Another dispatch to The News and
Courier from Gaffney says the spirit
\ of mars was loose In Cherokee County
2on Saturday. The county campaign
meeting broke up In riot, aid that
was thought bad enough, but that was
not all the excitement for In GaiTney.
Saturday night about ten o'clock there
was a report Of q fight on the streets
and an investig g4tion showed that
Mayor j. Q. Little and Chief OF Po-
lice Tom Lockhart were lighting.
Soon Mr.. Worth Little, q brother Of
the mayor, and Mr.. Dover Little, q
son, Joined In, as did Ohicers Gap De-
mons and Lloyd Autoll. The fighting
was brisk for some minutes. The won.
der is that no shooting irons we're not
used, There we're several Knocked
down In the melee, but none was ser
iously hurt.
After every thing had quieted down
Mayor Little stood In the middle OF
Limestone street and made an address
to the bystanders, telling them thai
the trouble was brought on by Chief
Lockhart and the other two Clll3ers
engaged In the dinlcuity neBlecting
their duty to electiCnocr for Sherih
Thomas for re. election, ard his hav
ing to put another man, j. M. Hamp
,K1n, on the police force 10 noip Them
DO their duty.
1t might be said here that Mayor
Little and Sheriff Thomas are not on
good terms and two OF the aldermen
are candidates., one for sheriff and one
Tor clerk Of Court. Mayor Little took
occasion to make q political address,
saving that no (nlcer should hold Of
fee too long, and advising the people
TO put out every man holding tllice In
the Court House. Before saying that
he said that the policemen had nc
business engaging In politics.
The correspondent says the occur
renee of Saturday and Saturday night
was the talk OF Gaffney on Sunday. III
is the concensus Of opinion thai the
chief, who is q nephew OF the mayor,
acted In self-defeucs and In the dis
charge Of his duty as did the other
policemen who were acting AZ peace
officers. There is no town the sizs 81
