towards General Lee than anything

him, and like the immortal Jackson,

Suffering.

OF the etiology of suffering We
know nothing definite. Direct inher-
itance in race, and possibly imitation
is the chief factor when father and
son are affected. THERE'S usually a
well-marked neurotic inheritance,
others in the family having various
forms of nervous complaints. But I
have not been able to confirm Char
cots statement that suffering and
ordinary facial paralysis frequently
occur in the same family. Shocks,
frights and debility after some acute
illness are the causes TO which the
onset is most frequently attributed
by parents. Imitation is undoubtedly
often been known to start the habit
when put in charge of suffering
nurse-maid. A friend of mine VINO
was extremely fond of horses and
was hardly to be kept out of the
stables acquired a most obstinate
stutter from the groom. Adenoid
vegetations are often met with and
are important as predisposing cause
since they tend to prevent the proper
filling of the chest with air. When
present they should be removed as
preliminary measure, although it
must not be expected that their re-
moval will lead to prompt cessation
of the stutter.-Lancet.

DEEP REGRET IN ENGLAND
Over Conduct of Governor OF Janat-

Over Conduct Of Governor OF Jamai-
ca Toward Americans.
There is a feeling of deepest regret
in London over the unfortunate incl
dent that led to the hurried departure
of the American warships from Kings
ton.
Up to a late hour Sunday night
neither the admiralty nor foreign Of
fee had any lews Ct the incident eS-
cept that derived from the press dis
patches and the inclination on all
sides was to withhold an expression OF
opinion until the receipt of an official
version from Governor Swettenhain.
The British government believing
itself able to cope with the situation
without outside assistance, the Ame1i-
can warships sailed from Kingston
Saturday afternoon for Guantanamo,
Cuba.

Defied Sheriff, Blu: Was Killed.


William J. Harley was shot and
killed last Saturday night by C. C..
Parler at Harleyville in Dorchester
county.
Several months ago Harley stabbed
a man named Weeks near the court
house at st. George. He was arrested
hy Sheriff Limehouse, but made his
escape, and it was charged that the
sheriff would not go to Harleyvi!le tc
arrest him.
Harley himself wrote card to g.
Columbia paper stating that the sher-
lff was afraid to come after him. Sher-
iff Limehouse was removed from Of
flee by Governor Hayward on the in
dictment Of the grand jury for allow
ing a mob to take g negro from jail
and lynch him. but was tried recently
in Orangeburg county and acquitted.
Meanwhile Harley had been at
large. He went to Parle2's house Sat-
urday night and asked for him. Har-
ley had g. shotgun in his hand. and
attempted to enter. Parler shot with
a shotgun, killing Harley Instantly.

Bill to Abolish Dispensary.


Senator Talbert of Edgefield rather
surprised the South Carolina senate
when he introduced a joint resolution
which provides for the complete abo-
lition of the South Carolina dispensa-
ry, which has been in operation 13
years, and the appointment of conf
mission to ascertain the condition
and wind up the affairs o: the insti-
ton, preparatory to closing it out. He
introduced a companion measure, call
ing for an amendment to that section
of the constitution Ct tEc state under
which the dispensary is operated, pro-
viding that it shall be stricken from
the constitution.
A measure providing for change
in the dispensary system has been
rather expected in the house, but was
not looked for in the senate at this
time, and there seemed to be NO an
ticipation of the length to which the
senator from Edgefield would go in
his effort to bring about the reform
over which the state has fought two
hot campaigns. The feature of his
effort lies in the fact that he also in
troduced the original Child's bill, pro-
viding for prohibition throughout the
state.
An Of the measures have been re-
ferred to the committee On dispen-
sary.

tice of any act Of the president In
connection with the discharge Of the
three companies of negro soldiers. = 4
: The modified resolution was accents
able to the democrats and likewise.
acceptable to the president.
The news that tie president was
telling his friends that he would TesS
gard vote to table the Blackburn
amendment Or vote against 1t as a.
vote against himself, gave the less
courageous Of his party supporters in
the senate new stiffening Of the
backbone. ~ ~
An almost overshadowing incident
Of the day was Senator Tillmans
speech in reply to Spooner, the re-sss
plies by Spooner of Wisconsin aud
Carmack of Tennessee, the parliamen-s
tary maneuvers, and party strategy
growing out OF the democratic ef-s
forts to force acceptance OF the
Blackburn resolution endorsing the
president. 81 ~
Senator Tillinan ran the gamut of
oratorical efforts in his spectacular
address. He made incursions into eY-i
cry field of fun aad fury. He ridiculsd
his colleagues, he defended lynchiEg
for the unnamed crime; he scored his
opponents, he blistered his enemies
he pleadd for solution of the south's
tragic problem, and for some inspired
plan that would meet and settle the
irrepressible conflict.
'The speech, as a whole, arouseds
the ire Of the senate, and ended IN
the South Carclinian making an apolS
ogy and asking that the portion Ct
his remarks holding up to ridicsile hiss
colleagues, be expunged FROM the rec
ord. If he had not done SO, the ssrlss
ate would have ordered the remarks
omitted. Senator Tillman's intDducss
tion was undignihed, illadYfsed and
his antics sayored of modern burnt
cork minstrelsy, but when he laHnchs
ed into defense Of the south, and his
sections determination to defend its
race integrity and its Caucasian afazg
cial heritage. he was powerful. cor
vincing, and rendered dignifed By thes
very force of his, convictioa.
Senator Tillman fully justified his
promise that he would add to- the
gaity Of nations and to the amllsesl
ment Of his brethren. That little
freak OF fancy cost him dearly Ix
led Carmack of Tennessee to deliver
one of the most artistic and scholar
ly. rebukes heard this year in tiisss
senate. 1t provoked Bacon OF GeDr7s
gia to declare that the gentleman
from South Carolina made the United
States senate take on the air OF
vaudeville playhouse. = q: q:
Few features Of the spectacular
were missing from the proceedings.

About two hundred and forty city

Emerson Found Guilty of Murder.

Emerson FouHc 1ulIty OF muToeT.
The jury at Anderson in the case
OF the STATE VS.. Allen Emerson, charg-
ed with the murder of I. F. Drake,
found him guilty of murder, with a
recommendation to mercy, after delib-
Grating about one hour. The defendant

Emerson, who was On guard on the
