MADE PUBLIC APOLOGY.
Remarkable Incident at Palmetto
Club Rooms in Georgetown.

A special dispatch from George
town to The State says the Palmetto
club rooms Wednesday night were
the scene Of remarkable incident,
being a public apology made by
young business man to a young lady
stenographer, who held in her pos
ession letter written by him which
she had passed around to the 40 or
SO leading business men whom she
had requested to be present to hear
his apology. The language Of the.
letter is absolutely unbecoming any
sort Of gentleman.
The facts Of the case, as learned
are that the offender had received
an anonymous missive, and he pre-
sumed that the above referred to
stenographer was the author OF 1t,
whereupon he wrote the outrageous
note coughed in the most obscene
terms and mailed it to the steno-
grapher.
Upon receipt Of the same the
young lady was almost prostrated
with grief and humiliation, and was
going to wire for her relatives and
report the matter to the postofice
authorities. But friends interceded
for the offender and begged her to
accept public apology from him
which she agreed to do. The entire
affair was very humiliating one.

Mine and Twenty-Six Are Known
to Have Escapee.

catastrophe as the explosion which
took place in Mine No. 1 OF the Yo-
lande Coal and Coke Company at
Yolande, Ala, just before daylight
On Monday morning It is estimat-
ed that sixty people perished in the
mine.
The explosion is now known to
have occu-reC n either the fifth or

bodies have b.~n recovered from

two bodies had been taken from the
mine.
A total Of IS men who were Sn
the mine at the time of the explosion
made their escape. Among thsee
were Steve Stofoko, a scotchma2.
He was far down the slope in the
fourth lift when the explosion oc-
CURED in the sixth right. Six other
men were with him, and all except:
ing Stofko made dash for the air
passage. Stofko, instead, made for
she main entry and when ne saw
the light of day in the distance,
drank the last Of his coffee, took a
chew of tobacco and walked out
calmly with his face wreathed in
smiles.
One negro of the original party
escaped through dog hole from the
air passage into the main entrance
and escaped. The other five are now
hvddled together il death in the air
passage and the rescue parties have
so far been unable to reach them.
Negoes were the greatest suffer-
ers from the disaster as less than q

and for the past several weeks has
been on the night shift. On Sunday
he was transferred to the day SHIFT
but oversight himself and did not 90

Almond caused blood to flow down
the face Of Representative Williams,

friends cut the combat short. Mr..
DeArmond bore away scuFed nose
The immediate cause of TIE fgh.
was the passing Of the lie by De-
Almond to Mr.. Williams, resulting
of a complaint by the former that
the minority leader had broken
faith in "blrying" Representative
Booher, of Missouri, by recommend
ing his assignment by Speaker Can

According 20 the statements Of the
participants Mr.. Williams defended
his action by declaring that he had
been told by Mr.. Booker's colleague.
Representative" Lloyd, Of Missouri.
that the committee assigned would
be satisfactory to Mr.. Boomer.
Mr.. DeArmond bluntly questioned
the truth Of the statement, and af-
ter the failure Of an effort on his
part to transfer the scene Of impend-
ing battle Williams struck Dear
naond in the face with his closed fist.
The exciting incident will not be
set down in the official records of
the. 60th Congress, for the House
had been some minutes adjourned
when the first blow was struck. But
there was no lack of witnesses.

Impressive Spectacle When 1t
Passed In Final Review
ON ITS LONG CRUISE.
Roosevelt, on the Mayfower, Bids
Officers and Men Alden and Bon
Voyage.-The Line Of Warships
Extends Four Miles in Single Col
umn and Speed Of Ten Knots Is
Struck.

The biggest feet the United States
mas ever assembled under the COM
mand of one man sailed for San
Francisco from Hampton Roads on
last Monday under command Of Rear
Admiral Evans.
President Roosevelt came down
from Washington on the naval yacht
Mayfower. His arrival in the road
stead was signallzed by a rear Of
salutes. a brief reception followed,
the President having a brief message
sor the four rear admirals and six
teen captains who are taking the
ships through to San Francisco. The
President shook each commander by
the hand as he went over the side
and bade them an official adieu
Then the Mayfower turned and led
the feet as it went down the bay,
the Mayhower leading to the Thimble
Shoal light. Here the Maydower
turned for final review.
AS a naval pageant the review
and departure was the most notable
in American history. The guns
which voiced welcome to the Pres
ident on his arrival in Hampton
Roads uttered good bye tribute as
they passed the Mayfower outward
bound. The salute Of welcome was
paid in unsion, while the farewell
was an individual offering from each
Of the sixteen ships.
The feet passed out in single
column, with the government built
Connecticut, Evans flagship, lead
ing. The vessels ran four hundred
yards apart, the line extending from
the flagship to the last vessel dis
lance Of over four miles. The feet
soon disappeared from view and is
now well on it's way to the Trinidad
Islands, where it will spend Christ
mas Day. We published a full des-
cription Of this feet in a six column
Illustrated article last week.

1t will be seen that the total vot
in Orangeburg County for is $50 an
against 1o1.
2 Add these two together and the
make the entire vote in Orangebu-,
County $50.
! AS it takes two thirds vote t,
win, the opposition to the formation
OF the new county only had to pol
120 more votes to defeat it.
| 1t is estimated that there are 81
voters in the territory whose votin,
precincts were left out of the limit
Of the proposedne county who woult
have voted against it had any plac,
been provided at which they could
vote.
Count in these 80 disfranchised
voters on the side Of the opposition
and we have 1S1 votes against the
new county. It would then take on
ly forty more votes to make 2z1,
which would have defeated it.
It IS said that twice that number
Of voters, who are opposed to the new
county, refrained from voting, as
they considered the fight hopeless
with such large number Of the op-
ponents Of the new county disfran-
chised by its advocates running its
lines as they did.
There were other irregularities in
the election that will likely be car
ried to the courts for settlement. In
ordering the election Gov. Ansel
says in his proclamation that all
qualified electors within the propos-
ed area shall be allowed to vote
upon said question, those fayoring
the proposed new county to vote
Eyes" and those opposed to vote
NO"
The Governor further says: That
the Commissioners of State and
County Elections Of the Counties Of
Orangeburg and Lexington respec-
lively shall make all necessary ar
rangenents for holding said cleo
ton, shall appoint managers and do
ali other things necessary for holding
Of said election; that the County
Supervisors Of the said counties
respectively shall have prepared
printed tickets and furnish same to
the Commissioners Of Election to be
sent out to the Managers Of Election
for the use Of the voters"
Lexington County.
There was only one poll in Lex
ington County and the vote at that
was At for and y against. 1t re-
auired a change Of only eight votes
there to defeat the new county. The
State says Mr.. R. H. Welch, Of Col
umbia, attorney for the new county
,eople, was on hand at the Lexing-
ton precinct. Why this Columbia
lawyer should be at the polls is not
stated. The State says cit is said
BY those who came to Columbia last
evening that at Red Store, the only
precinct In Lexington, there were
scenes which reminded one OF the
days of 1876.
Gov. AnseI had been requested to
nd sufficient force to this pre-
cinct to keep order. Accordingly,
Sheriff Corley and number OF his
deputies were on the scene and 1t Is
said their presence prevented any
display of feeling.
ut seems that tie eEl ed trou-
BILE was not causcs by citizens OF
Lexington, but from men who had
gone to Red Store ir0-a the other
side. 1t is said that many guns were
in evidence about this p-ecinct.
