'One Touch of Nature flakes the
Whole World Kim"

When rooster finds big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard to
come aud share it. A similar trait of
human nature is to be observed when a
man discovers something exceptionally
good-he wants all his friends and neigh
bors to share the benefits of his discovery.
This is the touch Of nature that makes
the whole world kin. This explains why
people %ho have been cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy who write letters
to the manufacturers for publication that
others similarly ailins may also use it and
obtain relief. Behind every one Of these
letters is waJm hearted wish OF the
writer to be Of useto someone else. This

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, April II, 1908

Washington, April II, 1908.
The New York delegates to the Re-
publican national convention have
been instructed to vote for Secretary
Taft and, four other districts have re
fused to instruct their delegates to vote
| for Governor Hughes. Three Illinois
districts have refused to instruct their
| delegates to vote for Joseph G. Can
non and one Illinois district has in
structed its delegates to vote for Taft.
In Wisconsin, at least one Taft dele
gate has been elected. This trend of
delegates in "favorite son" states might
be taken that Secretary Taft and his
maagers had decided to abandon the
position announced in the Parsons let
ter, in which the Secretary declared his
purpose not to seek support in states
which had favorite sons of their own,
but that is not the case. No work
whatever has been done in favorite son
states by any authorized representative
Of Secretary Taft and the instruction
of delegates for him in those common
wealths is merely the result of the al
most irresistible desire of politicians
to cast in their lot with the winning
candidates. As the returns come in
from one state after another, showing
a steady growth of Taft sentiment, so
that now practically 300 OF the 960 dele
f.n ba r,attNnoI
instructed for Taft, the efforts of those
who are seeking to promote the for
tunes OF the other candidates become
conspicuously futile, and there is rea-
son to believe that before the conven-
ton meets in June, the force Of the
tide will have become irresistible.
The Presidentlis 'delighted" at these
results and is as exuberant as Q boy
with a new sled.
Representative 'Jim" Watson, Of
Indiana, the Republican "whip7 Of the
House, is continuing his efforts in be.
half Of an early adjournment ,of Cor
gress. Mr.. Watson declares he has re.
ceived assurances on every hand that
the proposal to adjourn about May
10th is feasible and that the energies of
the leaders Of both Houses of Congress
will be bent toward that end Appar-
enty the chief question to be consider
ed is what President Roosevelt will
think of au adjournment without defn-
lite action on the matters he urged in
his recent message.

Criminals In New South Wales.

New South Wales has a novel system
of dealing with habitual criminals. A
man is sentenced to term for his par
tfcular offense and to an indeterminate
term because he is an "hahitual."
When he has served the definite term,
il he is well behaved he can rise from
grade to grade, each step being accom-
panied by various concessions. One
feature is that he may earn wages,
which may be sent to his family, spent
on luXuries or credited to him for the
day of release. \ committee examines
his progress from time to time, advis-
ing the minister when he may be re-
leased. No release is absolute till after
q years probation under modified re.

JOHN McGAHA KILLED.
Anderson Desperate Falls at Hands oi
Neuro,

Due West special Of September q
to News and Courier: John McGaha
the man who has killed four men in
this county, has at last met his fate
by being shot down over in Greenville
county by a negro last night. From
facts learned over the telephone from
Honea Path, two of McGaha's hands
left him, and finding where they were
McGaha took one Of the Ashleys In
search for the negroes. They were
somewhere near Dial & Troaym's store
Eleven shots were fired, no one being
hurt, but McGaha. He died suddenly
while being brought back and was
buried at Barker's Creek, near Honea
Path, today.
John McGaha was one of the most
desperate and fearless characters OF
South Carolina. He was 40 years OLD
and leaves a wife He was reared to
manhood in the home Of Hon. ]. w
("Citizen Josh") Ashley, in the Honea
Path section, and had since engaged
in farming here. He had three times
been tried and three times cleared OF
the charge of murder, two of his vic
Tins being white men. 1t is also said
that he killed a negro some twenty
years ago near Honea Path, and there
are many reputable citizens in Ander-
lief that he was guilty of the crime
1t is said that the negro was badly
beaten up by a crowd and that Nc
Gaha later pressed a pistol against his
body and fired.
The latest case laid at McGaha's
door was the killing Of negro named
George Clinkscales. He was tried in
Abbeville at the last term Of court
and cleared on the ground, that the
shooting was accidental McGaha and
ClinkScaleS had gone to the home OF
a negro intoxicated. After remaining a
time the negro left the house and was
going in the direction Of the barn
when McGaha fired through the open
the negro's back. His plea was that
he had fired to notify the negro that
he was ready to leave.
About fourteen years ago McGaha
was tried for the murder of Josh Big
by, white man. and also a notorious
character. He was shot with a shot
gun. McGaha and Bigby had been in
Anderson together and both were
drinking. They left for their homes
near HOnea Path, eighteen miles, anc
when near McGaha's home he got out
Of the wagon. walked to his home Sc
cured a shotgun and walking back a
mile, shot him. 1t was said that
Bigby had before beaten McGaha al
most to death. The latter's plea OF
self defense was sustained.
Bud Sweat was shot and killed by
McGaha on Christmas Day ten years
ago at the formers home, five miles
from HOnea Path, in Abbeville coun-
tv. They had become involved In a
difficulty over some matter and the
shooting occurred in Sweats yard
where McGaha is said to have followed
him. A pistol was the weapon used.
McGaha had often been arrested al
Anderson and had more than once
threatened to kill an officer. He was
feared throughout that section, and
because of this fear. exercised great
power over negroes and certain class
Of whites.

Of Engineer w. ]. Fonville and Fire
man Bowers and the serious injury of
Baggagemaster McConley and several
passengers, Clarence Agnew, colored,
was arrested near Wexford this morn
ing by Constable T. w. Moore. Agnew
put up hard fight, attempted to take
the handouts from the officer and 1t
was after a desperate struggle that
the negro was overpowered and lock-
ed up. Agnew made confession in
Jail here this afternoon. He said he
caught hold Of the chain and gave 1t
jerk and the lock came open. He
threw back the lever and mashed 1t
down. Looking about the track he
found a piece Of iron seven or eight
inches long and with this smashed
the lock on the rails. He threw one
part away and the other he placed
in his pocket until he got near Well
ford depot when he threw the other
away. The negro told the officers he
slept between a box car and the seed
house at Wexford last night. When
he awoke this morning he saw man
walking down the track and asked
him If there had been a wreck and
was told there had been. Agnew re-
piled he hoped no one had been kill
ed. He walked down the track to the
scene Of the wreck, where he was ar
rested. The negro finished serving

proof of his innocence 1t is only to
be taken as a proof that If he was gull
ty they did not know 1t. However,
guilty or innocent, it is probably very
well that he should come down from
his position as treasurer. Because Of
the source of the charges, and especial
ly the source of their highest endorse
ment, there are people who will believe
them to the embarrassment Of the
Democratic campaign. The campaign
can be conducted as we'll without Mr..
Haskell as with him, and when the
campaign Is over, If he desires COM
pete vindication, he can get all he Is
entitled to through the ordinary pro-
cesses Of the courts. To attempt to
clear the matter up satisfactorily now
in the heat of such a campaign as is in
progress, would be manifestly absurd.
But no matter what the truth is with
regard to Mr.. Haskell and Standard Oil,
it has not been shown and we do not
believe it can be shown, that Mr.. Bryan
is in any way responsible.
