cL1NKsCALEs FOR SENATE?
Authentic Statement Given Out by
His Friends-Has not Confirm
ed Report.

The State.
Spartanburg, Sept. John G.
Clinkscales, professor Of mathematics
at Wofford college and one of the
most widely known educators in
South Carolina, will be in the race
for the United States senate against
Senator A. C. Latimer, according to a
statement given out here today by
friends Of the professor. They say the
statement is authentic and that Prof.
Clinkscales has finally decided to
yield to the wishes of his friends, who
have been urging him for some months
to run for the senate. He is out of
the city tonight, being in the lower
part Of the state to make an address,
and consequently he has not confirm
ed the statement, but in certain cir
cles here it is believed he will GER
tainly 60 before the people Of the
state as a candidate for the highest
office they can bestow.
No man in South Carolina is better
known and as stump speaker he has
few if any equals in the state. He is
a native of Anderson county and
taught at Clemson college several
years before becoming identified with
Wofford. It is admitted on all sides
here that because Of his wide acquain4
tance, remarkable talents as a speak
er and high character, Prof. Clink-
scales would make a splendid race,
but some Of his closest friends are not
inclined to believe he will enter poll
tics.
The announcement came evidently
as a surprise to local politicians, as
ne Of them seen this evening ap-
parently know anything Of Prof.
Chnkscales' intention to enter the
race. Senator H. B. Carlisle said this
afternoon that he did not believe
there was any truth in the report.
Congressman Johnson said he had no
advance information, but if Prof.
Clinkscales should make the race he
would give good account of himself.

THE PURE FOOD LAW
WILL BE ENFORCED.
Laboratories are being Established
Throughout the Country for
Analytical Purposes.

140ok4S VAS<S& = IA f~SS5'
Washington cor. The State.
The laboratories which are being
established throughout the country as
part Of the system Of enforcing the
pure food law, are being gradually
but slowly equipped and put into
operation.
These laboratories are to supple
ment the principal laboratories in
Washington and the six Laboratories
already in operation in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans,
Chicago and San Francisco. These six
will be continued and they have al
ready been considerably enlarged and
the force of chemists increased so as
to enable them to alyze the food
and drugs specimens which enter in
to interstate commerce as well as i'm
ported O iwcesnthhhEz '.ewOY
ported ones which the laboratories
have been heretofore analyzing.
New pure food and drug labora-
tories have just been established in
St. Paul, Detroit and Buffalo. Others
at Kansas City, Seattle and Portland
are about ready to begin operations
and sometime before the year is out
those at Savannah, Galveston, Cincin-
natl and Denver will be ready.
The laboratory at Chicago has been
enlarged four or five times. 1t will
be the great central laboratory Of the
West, just as the New York labora-
tory is Of the East. There will be
probably Is analytical chemists in the
Chicago laboratory. At Denver the
chief chemist has been appointed and
some Of the work is going on, al
though the laboratory is not entirely
completed. DR.. Leach, formerly
chairman Of the Massachusetts State
board Of health; has been put in
charge Of the Denver work.
DR.. Wiley, who has general direc-
ton Of the enforcement Of the pure
food law, through the inspectors and
the laboratories, will ask congress,
through the secretary Of agriculture,
for money to equip several others. He
is particularly DESTROYS that there
should be one at Pittsburg, one at St.
Louis and one at Omaha. DR.. Wiley
hopes, he says, that the time will
come when there shall be one Of these
laboratories in each state. Already
there are two in New York and DR..
Wiley thinks there ought to be two III
Pennsylvania, one at Pittsburg in ad
dition to the one now at Philadelphia.
There are 35 inspectors Of foods
scattered throughout the country.
These inspectors make purchases OF
foods and drugs and send samples to
the nearest laboratories to be analyz-
ed and report made to the board OF
pure food and drug inspection in
Washington. The United States is
divided into certain divisions and
each Of the 35 inspectors has GER
tain territory in which he is expected
to find and purchase all foods and
drugs whose impurity he has reason
to suspect and send the samples to
the nearest laboratory. When all the
Laboratories are equipped the inspec-
tors will have each certain labora-
tory to send his samples to.

BISHOP cAPERS HOME.
Grateful for Attentions-Says Presi
dent Roosevelt Would Not Have
Been Treated With More
Consideration - Stood
Trip Well.

Tie State.
.sMr. Theodore Roosevelt could not
have been the recipient Of more at
tentions than have been shown me to-
day." said Bishop Ellison 'Capers as
he was being made comfortable in a
closed carriage at the union station
last night. "One gentleman came all
the way from Skyland to Cedar Noun
tain for US and we were taken to
Brevard in his automobile. So many
kindness have been rendered me on
the trip that hardly know where to
begin to express my qualification"
The arrival Of Bishop Capers was
awaited with anxiety last night, and
the party Of friends gathered at the
station to meet him had everything IN
readiness for his comfort.
Mr.. Ellison Capers, Jr., and Mr..
John P. Thomas, Jr., had closed car
riages drawn close to the tracks and
Bishop Capers and Mrs. Capers, her
self long an invalid, were carried IN
easy chairs from the special coach
to the carriages. Mr.. W. W. Coleock,
Jr., had brought large and comfor-
table automobile to be used in case 1t
were needed.
The party had reached the blsh-
on's home in the eastern part OF the
city before 2 O'Clock this morning.
Capt. John G.. Capers, Jr., and Mr..
F.F. Capers, sons of Bishop and Mrs.
Capers; Miss Marie Dwight and Miss
Sans, who have been companions to
the two invalids during the summer,
and DR.. Craig of Winnsboro, who has
been in attendance upon the bishop
for the last six weeks, were IN the
special car.
Capt. Capers said that they had
left Cedar Mountain at p. m. and
the trip Of IL hours was made with
ont unpleasant incident. They were
taken in automobiles and carriages
from Cedar Mountain to Brevard and
from Brevard they came directly to
Columbia in a special car.
II think the change of climate will
do me good," said Bishop Capers
last night, "the air was getting chill
" on Cedar Mountain" He seemed
great pleased to be home again, and
though his power of 1oeomotion has
not been restored except in part. yet
his voice is strong and clear and his
handshake is hearty.
Capt. Capers requests that no mat
ters of official nature be brought to
Bishop Capers' attention, although
the bishop will be glad to receive his
friends.
From Bishop Capers' present con-
dition the members Of his family are
led to indulge the hope that he Will
recover the use Of his limbs. Mrs.
Capers also stood the trip remark
ably well, considering her enfeebled
condition. It was quite affecting last
night to see the dear old lady being
carried from the car to the easy car
riage by her stalwart sons, who bore
the chair on which she was seated
with such care and sohcitude. And
equally as inspiring picture was
the manner in which their noble faith
er, the prelate Of this great state, the
exJConfederate warrior, was handed
as gently as a babe by his loving
sons.
It will rejoice many hearts in South
Carolina to know that Bishop and
Mrs. Capers are at home, for while
they are loved wherever they may be,
yet it is so much easier to express
that veneration and affection when
they are close by.

NEGRO CAUSES MUCH STIR.
Official at Newberry Have Hard Time
Arresting a Black Blind
Tiger

y
excitement was caused at the South
ern depot, this city, yesterday evening
lust as the train rolled in from Co.
lumbia about 5 'clock by negro re-
sisting arrest.
Constable T. G. Williams, who is
ever on the alert for the travelling
blind tigers, had for day or two
been shadowing George Smith, not
orious negro liquor peddler, having
heard that he had lately received a
shipment of liquor and was dispens-
ING it around. Constable Williams and
Chief of Police C. W. Bishop follow
ed the negro to the depot and just as
the train rolled into the station the
negro spied the officers and attempt
ed to make his escape through the
crowd. Mr.. Williams ran up behind
the negro and caught him in the col
lar at the back of his neck with his
left hand, when the negro wheeled
and began to put up game fight.
The negro is much Of a man, and it is
said, Guild whip three ordinary men.
Mr.. Williams managed to ward off
the 'negro's blows until Chief Bishop
ran up and struck the negro over the
head with his walking cane, which
seemed the more to infuriate the
brute, when Mr.. Williams stepped
back and drew his gun and just as he
was in the act. of shooting, Messrs.
NJ. B. Caldwell and Henry FelIers Of
the county caught his arm with the
pistol and threw it up preventing him
from shooting. While these gentle.
men we're holding Mr.. Williams the
negro was about to get the best Of
Chief Bishop, when Mr.. George Rob-
ertson Of the cotton mill and Mr..
Robinson, the operator at the South
ern. went to his assistance and pin
ioned the negro to the floor. After
several blows over the head with
pistol and a good hickory stick the
negro bled profusely and hollered
that he gave up-he had enough.
Dr.. P. G. Ellesor attended the negro
and says he only had few slight
scalp wounds and was not seriously
hurt. Constable Williams forefinger
on his left hand was pretty badly
sprained and gave him some pain af-
forwards.
There was large crowd at the de-
pot and considerable excitement was
caused at the time.
The negro is considered bad char
acter and was convicted few months
ago of selling liquor and fined $50,
which he paid. When arrested yester-
day he had quart bottle nearly full
on his person in "jShaw's Malt'
bottle
The general opinion Of those who
saw the affair is that the officers had
their hands full and had not outside
help come to their assistance the neg,
70 would have had to be shot to be
taken.
Owing to the vigilance Of Constable
Williams and our police officers, there
is less liquor sold in Newberry now
than ever before.-The State.
Geo. Smith vas before the mayor
yesterday morning on the charge Of
transporting contraband liquor and
on the charge of resisting an officer.
He pleaded guilty to the charge Of re-
sisting officer and was fined $l5 or
80 days. On the other charge he
pleaded not guilty but was convicted
and fined $25 or 80 days. He was rep
resented by Schumpert and Holloway
who gave notice Of appeal to the
circuit court in both cases.

These farmers that arc !iere and

confident and determined look about
them that only those that have work

the value of the victory that they have
won for themselves and the horrors
that 5 and 6 cents cotton brought to
the farmers as we'll as others Of the

The Tomb of kino Juba.
From the Autocar.

The Tomb Of the Christian in Az
geria is a pyramid on the summit or
a hill more h 700 feet high, at the
edge of the sea. 1t dates back to be-
fore the time of st. Paul. having been
built by order Of Juba IL, the king of
Mauretania, as a burying place for
himself and his wife, Cleopatra, the
daughter OF Cleopatra and Mark An
tony. The only daughter of Juba and
Festus, the governor of Judea, in the
time of ST. Paul. The tomb can be en-
tered by a low doorway beneath one
of the four false doors. These have
holdings on them of a cruciform shape.
and may account for the title, THE
Tomb of the Christian" The passage
within the pyramid winds round and
eventually leads to two chambers shut
off from it by folding doors, which can,
be moved up and down by levers. The
tomb must have been rifled of all it
contained centuries ago, though some
think that by e~xcavating in a down.
ward direction it might still be possi-
BILE to discover the burying place Of the
king and queen, supposing the two
chambers, like the false door outside.

Cleopatra had brought the idea of
making a o mausoleum in the shape
of a pyramid from Egypt. Portions Of

er similar monuments in Algeria, in
