Just as we expected, the second
race for the United States Senate is
between Smith and Evans. At one
time we thought it would be Rhett
and Smith, but Mr.. Rhett made a
mistake in not making public the
contents of that letter earlier. We
voted for him, and it is source of
much regret to us that he will not
be the next Senator. He is South
Carolina gentleman, he made a clean
campaign, something we have not
been, accustomed to in this State,
and we feel proud that there was
one man who did not try to get the
Office by criticising his opponents.
OF course the late entry of Mr.. Rhett
had something to do with his defeat.
However, he and his friends have
reason to feel proud, and no doubt
there are larger things ahead for
him.

Mrs. Webb Convicted.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Alice l..
Webb, divorced wife Of Brodie L.
Duke, millionaire tobacco manufac-
turer, was to-day found guilty of de-
frauding the Great Northern hotel
by passing a worthless check. No
ton for a new trial was made and
will be argued later. If not granted,
sentence then will be passed by the
court.
CARRIED in black, Mrs. Webb was
composed and expressed confidence
that the verdict would be in her ia
vor Her plea that the check, which
was for $50, was written while she
was under the influence of stimulants
and narcotics taken to alleviate the
pain of al attack of pleurisy, she be-
lieved would be sufficient to influence
the jury to bring a verdict of acquit-
tai.
At the word guilty" Mrs. Webb
flushed and trembled, but only mo-
mentarily. She recovered quickly
and was apparently perfectly COM
posed while her lawyer, Alfred E.
Case, made his motion for new
trial.
The extreme penalty of the crime
of which Mrs. Webb was found gull
ty is a fine of $4,000 and imprison-
ment in the county jail for one year
Mrs. Webb was released under
bond of $1,000.

Third Receiver Named.

Union, Aug. 21.-On Wednesday
Judge D. E. Hydrick appointed Mr..
H. B. O'Shields, cashier OF the Citi-
.zen's Savings bank of this city, as
coreceiver of the Peoples bank
which recently went into voluntary
liquidation. This action was the re-
suit of a petition of large number
of stockholders and depositors of
the Peoples bank who were repre-
sented by Hon. B. F. Townsend.
The appointment of an additional
receiver was resisted by Messrs.
Simpson & Bomar, attorneys for B.
F. Arthur and w. H. Gist. Among
the afidavits were some from B. +.
Arthur, president of the Peoples
bank, L. NJ. Jordan, vice president
of the bank, DR.. H. K. Smith, direc-
tor, and MIR. Giles L. Wilson, State
bank examiner. In substance these
affidavits were to the effect that it
was considered that the appointment
of another receiver was unnecessary
and that the men in charge of the
institutions affairs were men of in
telligence and integrity and had the
ability to bring about the best possi-
BILE outcome of the banks affairs.
Judge Hydrick, however, took the
opinion that the appointment of the
additional receiver was advisable
and Mr.. H. B. O'Shields, who was
named, yesterday filed his bond,
qualified today and entered upon his
duties.
In this connection it may be men
toned that Mr.. O'Shields has for the
present retired from the cashiership
of the Citizens Savings bank, or will
retire on September 1 for a few
months at least because his physi-
clan advises him that 80 much in
door work was too confning. On
September 1 Mr.. O'Shields will as
sumo his duties as secretary to the
board of commissioners of public
works.

1t was said that Blease would car
ry Bamberg and Orangeburg coun-
ties, but the returns tell different
tale. We never thought so, and
stated that Ansel would carry Bam-

: In this county some good men were

There will be general rejoicing
throughout the State that Niels
Christensen, Jr., has been returned
to the Senate from Beaufort. The
whiskey element made strong efforts
to defeat hip, but he won out hand
somely.

The Herald asked Bamberg coun-
ty voters to give Ansel and Thomp-
son good majorities, and they did it.
We are not so conceited as to think
that our support of these gentlemen
was the reason they carried the
county so large, and our only reason
in mentioning it is to thank our vo-
ters for their interest in the cause of
good government.

Letter to Geo. III. Smoak,
Bamberg, S. C..

Dear Sir: You may like to know
what you pay for the paint in gal
lon of paint" assuming the pure
paint part of all paints to be alike;
which it isn't; and worth $1.75 a
gallon.
Of paint adulterated 10 per cent,
the pure-paint part brings $1.94 a
gallon.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1908-09-03

The average adulteration of paint
in this country is about one-third; !;
so, you see, the average price the
American people are paying for
paint is about $2.62 a gallon.
1t is a game of wits. Adulterators
are always too sharp for the bulk of
consumers People won't pay s1.75
a gallon for paint. So they pay
$2.62 a gallon for paint and some
thing that looks like paint mixed
with it. (They pay the painter, be-
sides, from 81 to 81 for painting
those useless gallons.)
Why do they do it? They don't
know Devoe.
Yours truly

~ ARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 14.-The Re
publican state convention began
~ here this afternoon, the proceed
ings which are to result IN the noml-
nation of a full state ticket and presi-
Dental electors.
A notable fact, commented on by
many, was that while pictures of Tart
and sherman lined the front of the
gallery. there appeared nowhere in the
hall as the convention opened any
portrait of President Roosevelt or Gov
ernor Hughes.
Another notable feature was what ap-
pears to have been the launching OF a
boom for Secretary of the Treasury
Cortelyou. =,
State Chairman Timothy l.. WoodrufI
called the convention to order ana
Elihu Root was named for temporary
chairman. When Mr.. Root was es-
corted to the platform he was given
quite big reception and made long
speech.
A significant feature of the conven-
ton was in the fact that campaign puL-
tons bearing the portrait of Secretary
of the Treasury George b. Cortelyou
appeared in sudden profusion in the
convention hall just about the time that
state Chairman Woodruff moved an
adjournment be taken until p. m. TO-
morrow.
This indicates plans to boom Cortel-
YOU in opposition to Hughes or Root.
The lateness of the hour fixed was
the subject of general comment ana
some surprise.
Most interpreters regarded the long
interval as designed to give the anti
Hughes leaders more time TO negotlate
for combinations to defeat the gov
ernors denomination.

IN TRAGIC WAY
WINDY CITY HAS DRAMATIC
SUICIDE CASES
Youno Woman, Prominent, Invites
Friends to Dinner, Goes Into Base

In Heart
[By Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Two suicides
ono startIin1 in its accompaniments,
the other the despairing act OF a youns
woman hopeless of ever regainlng ner
health, and both suicides almost equal
ly dramatic-occurred in chicago laee
yesterday. ,,. 80 tho
door of which 100 men were clamormg,
an unidentified fugitive almost severed
his head from his body with a razor
rather than face the vengeance OF MS
He had been tracked to the cellar
after he had iured boy years OLD 10
the place. a.
He had been dead an hour before IT
was learned that he had cut his throat.
Covering beside him was the boy,
held there by the threat of his tor
mentor that he would kill him II ne
stirred. and unaware that death had
removed the menace.
The scene was the basement of the
vacant building at 152 West jackson
boulevard. The man had been seen 10
pass into the place with Lawrence
Brosnau, whose home is at 132 west
Van Buren, street.
Threats from the boys captor that
he would shoot the first to enter held
the pursuers off, even after their num-
Der had reached hundred.
Woman Shoots Herself
The other suicide was that Of Miss
Florence Osborne, rs years old, daugh-
ter of Eugene p. Osborne, prominent In
the building of the worlds fair as
consulting engineer.
1t occurred at her home, 5201 Jeffer-
son avenue. Miss Osborne shot herself
through the heart.
The suicide of Miss Osborne occurred
soon after she had prepared for lunch
con. Two friends, invited to dine with
her, had arrived when she went to the
basement, saying she wished to get
some jelly.
She had been down stairs only mo-
ment, when the shot was heard, and
William 1. Noyes of 520S Jefferson ave-
nue., one of the guests, in company
with Mr. Osborne, went to investigate.
They found Miss Osborne on the floor
near. the furnace with blood pouring
from a bullet wound in her left breast
and a revolver with one chamber empty
clutched in her right hand.
A doctor was summoned, but the vic
tim was dead when he arrived.
Mr. Osborne believes long suffering
from spinal trouble caused her de-
spondency.

DEATE CALLS OLD
MAN FROM BRIDE
DR.. GOODWIN DIES FOUR DAYS
AFTER MARRIAGE
Physician Who Wed Nurse Passes
Away-Was Involved in Land
Frauds in State of
Oregon

Leaving his bride to mourn during
the honeymoon, Dr. David M. Good
win, who was married four days ago
to Miss Catherine A. King, died yes
terday afternoon at their apartments
in the Wilhelm, 500 South Grand ave-
nue.. DIR. Goodwin, who was rs years
old, has been seriously ill for weeks as
the result of a nervous breakdown.
1t was at his urgent request that he
and Miss King, whom he has known
for nearly thirty years and who nurSed
him faithfully through his illness, were
married when he felt that he would
! live but a short time.
! When DR.. Goodwin lay i'll at the Pa
cific hospital Miss King was unremit-
! ting in her care. For some weeks she
was assisted by his son-in-law, who
married a daughter " his first wife,
but when business called him to his
home in the east the full responsibility
fell upon Miss King. The marriage
was planned before DR.. Goodwin's ILL
ness, but it devolyed upon Miss King
to go to the courthouse for the Ii
cense. which she obtained last Thurs
day.
Dr. Goodwin's illness was occasioned
by his worry over an indictment is
sued against him in company with
several other citizens of Los Angeles
for alleged completely in land frauds
in Oregon. Government investigation
of methods said to be used in the
acquisition of Oregon timber lands
caused the indictments. DR.. Goodwin,
with the others involved, was held for
removal to oregon, and for several
weeks his case was before Commits
sioner Van Dyke of the federal court
in the Tajo building.
In Land Fraud Case
The strain was too great for him,
and when the order for removal was in
sisted upon DR.. Goodwin was at the
Pacific hospital, too ill to be informed
of the result of the trial. A special
order of court was issued Which per-
mitted the decision to be withheld from
him, and he died without fully realizing
the nature of the decision. The COM
missioner realized that in his weak
ened condition the news would un-
doubtedly hasten DIR. Goodwin's death,
for his life was at that time despaired
of by his physicians, DR.. f. S. Barnard
and Dr. H. S. Boynton. He recovered
later sufficiently to permit his removal
from the hospital to apartments at the
wilhelm, but the rally was only tenn
porary.
Mrs. Goodwin. the bride of few
days. who has realized from the day
of her betrothal that her husband
might not live TO enjoy their hoEey-
moon, is twenty-five years younger
than her late husband. Their marriage
had the warm sanction of all of DIR.
Goodwin's relatives and personal
friends, who felt full appreciation
of her devotion and sacrifice in his
behalf, and were willing that she
should inherit what wealth remained.
Final arrangements for DIR. Good
WINS funeral will be made tomorrow.
AS he was a thirty second degree Ma
son, the services probably will be in.
charge of the Scottish Rite consistory,
and will be held at the Scottish Rite
cathedral tomorrow afternoon unless
word from DR.. Goodwin's son-in-law
causes a postponement
