Singular Accident at Hog Killing.

CAIRO, GA, Dec. Sc. E. PRINCE,
a farmer living about three miles
north of town, while killing hogs
Monday, assisted by Jim Lewis, a
negro, accidentally stabbed Lewis:
They had hit hog in the head and
both men caught the animal to stab
him, Mr.. Prince holding the knife.
Just as he stabbed the hog, which
was very large one, the hog made
a lunge backwards, throwing MIR.
Prince who held the knife in his hand,
back on the negro. AS he fell the
knife struck the negro just over the
heart and penetrated it. Medical as
sistance was summoned but before it
arrived the negro was dead.
The negro made statement to
the effect that his stabbing was an
accident before he died. He had been
working on the place for some time,
and the best of feeling existed be-
tween him and Mr.. Prince. No
action has been taken, but it is very
likely that a jury will be summoned.

AFTER POSTrlASTER'S SCALP.
Spartanburg Negroes Prefer One Of
Their Own Color for Office.

SPARTANBURG, Dec. g. The col
oren Republicans of Spartanburg are
after the scalps of Postmaster Pion-
ier and Assistant Postmaster Young.
A committee has wired to the de-
partment at Washington asking that
Col. PIONEERS appointment be held
up until they could be heard from.
At a recent meeting of colored Re-
publicans, O. L. Pace, money order
clerk at the postofice, and candidate
for postmaster, was invited to the
meeting, and the colored people
sought to have him promise he would
recognize the organization in the
event he secured the postmastersh
He was asked what he would do for
them in the way of appointments
and vacancies in the office.
Three days ago a committee OF COL
ored men called on Col. Pionier in
his office and requested the removal
of Assistant Postmaster Young, and
that he appoint a man they would
suggest. The request was promptly
refused by Col. Pionier.
The colored Republicans claim they
have not received the proper recog-
milton by Col. Pionier and that it Is
time they should be recognized. 1t is
generally understood that the co!ored
Organization has decided to endorse
Mr.. Pace for postmaster.

Not Many Teetotalers.

Per cent of men who drink, IS:
Per cent who drink to excess, 80.
Per cent who are inebriates, II.
Per cent who are incurable, Z.
Per cent of women who drink, IS.
The man who is responsible for
these figures is DR.. w. D. Lawrence,
of Minneapolis.
Fifteen per centof the adultmales
in this country are teetotalers," said
DR.. Lawrence to the Des Moines cor
respondent of the Clinton Herald,
"while IS per cent are what may be
termed privilege drinkers; that is,
men who claim the right to take a
drink as it pleases them, but who do
not drink to excess.
Thirty per cent are diseased
through the use Of drink or drugs,
these statistics relate to the use OF
drugs as well as the use Of liquor.
They are inebriates and have ac-
ouired the habit, which is beyond
their control. Of these IL per cent
are submerged.
"They are dipsomaniacs, and re-
ouire the attention of the public,
aid of benevolent societies, and or
carnations. Seven per cent are hope
less, and it is useless to expend funds
on them except to isolate and detaln
them, humanely and at work, If pos
sible."

Preacher Held Rag Doll.

SPARTANBURG, Dec. 5.-One OF
the Methodist preachers while on his
way to conference, was asked by a
lady who hurriedly alighted at Spar
tanburg, to hold her baby for a min
ute. When the train started without
the return of the lady, the delegate,
in great perturbation, sought the
conductor, and was thunderstruek
to learn that Spartanburg was the
lady's destination. Here was a
preacher, on his way to conference,
with a baby on his hands. In great
agony he begged the conductor to (,
help him. ''He seems very quiet,
said the conductor. He must be a
mighty good child" They commen-
ced to undo the wrappings, and to
the delight of the delegate a large
rag doll was disclosed. The delegate
claims that the narrowing exper1-
ence aged him ten years. He was a
young unmarried man, and hence
his experience with babies was linn
tied.

Broken Rail Causes Wreck.

COLUMBUS, Ga, December g.
Central of Georgia passenger train
from Macon to Columbus, Ga., was
wrecked at Upatoie, Ca, 10 miles
east of here at COS o'clock this
morning. The train struck a broken

man whose name is unknown was
cut by flying glass. No one was
fatally injured.
A special train with physicians was
sent from here to the scene. -

SOMETHING WAS ROTTEN
IN MANAGEMENT OF STATE DIS
PENSARY SYSTEM.
This is the Substance of Report Filed
by Auditing Company who
Investigated Books.

Investigated Books.
COLUMBIA, Dec. 6.-That the State
of South Carolina lost thousands of
dollars, and perhaps hundreds OF
thousands, in the management Of the
state dispensary, through lack of
system, through carelessness, gross
neglect and misapplication of funds,
is revealed in the report filed with
the dispensary commission by the
American Audit Company. While the
revelations contained in this report
are within themselves startling, the
Audit company was limited in it's in
vestigation of the assets and liabll-
tiles of the dispensary to live accounts
only. They give it as their judg-
ment that if a complete audit were
made of the records of the institu-
ton, the errors of omission and COM
mission brought to light by them in
the investigation just completed,
Immense in themselves" would be
infinitely small as compared with
those covered up in the closed tran
SactlOnS or past years.
The minute book of the board of
directors for the year 1905 is missing
and other records which should have
been on file were nowhere to be
found, which made the task OF the
expert accountants very difficult. In
numerous instances it was found
necessary to call upon creditors OF
the dispensary for duplicate invoices,
etc., and to rely upon them to some
extent for information which should
have been on file if the affairs OF the
institution had been conducted in a
legitimate, business-ike manner.
The report of the American audit
company contains about ESQ pages
and is handsomely gotten up. The
work Of auditing the books and ac-
counts was done under the super
vision of Mr.. E. A. Richmond, Of the
New York office. He was assisted
throughout by Mr.. Charles Franklin
ofthe Atlanta office andat intervalsby
other representatives of the company.
While the investigation was limited
in its scope by the commission, the
work done by this company was
thorough and in every way satlsfac-
tory to the commission.
The work done by these expert &C.
countants cost the dispensary COM
mission approximately $4,000, but
this amount is more than offset by
the recoveries made by the commits
sion as a result of the discoveries of
errors and misapplication of funds
which they made. In other words,
the American Audit company more
than reimbursed the commission for
the investment made in their employ
ment.
