Report Rsac1nes Lake City Of q Ira.
sedy n Florence County.

Lake City. Aus. s--News reached
Lake City this afternoon OF a most
dspiorabie tragedy. which occurred In
the lyman section OF Florence coun-
~ yesterday afternoon late.
Details are meagre. but It seems
that Thomas summerford, a white
man. living just a few miles from Hy-
man. attended the campaign meeting
at Hyman yesterday. and In the after
noon loaded up on booze and went
homo and promptly raised row In
his family. In the excitement ne
picked up one OF his little boys and
thrust him against the banister with
such force that II broke the childs
back. from which injury he died In a
few minutes. IL seems from all re-
ports that summerford Is very quiet
and peaceable man when not under
the influence Of whlskey. which makes
the case all the more sad.-Special TO

Mills Of Columbia Curtail Hours Of
Work.

Beginning Monday the olympia,
CRANKY and Capital City cotton mills
commenced running on a schedule Of
four days each week. The Richla nd
cotton mill Is still running full time
and Will do so until further notice.
The curtailment OF hours In the
three mills named above Is in accord
ance with a general agreement made
on account OF the decreased demand
Tor cotton mill goods but ii is not
thought that the shortage will last
very long.
The mills have for some time been
running on abasis OF 60 hours a week,
this being In accordance with the law
passed by the last general assembly
and while the cut will be felt to some
extent II was not unexpected by many
OF the operatives.-State.

An UnsOught Pardon.

Among the stories of that former
penitentiary who had warmly opposed
governor Of Texas familiarly known
as Sam Houston is more than one
amusing tale.
There was a financial agent of the
the election Of Gov. Houston, but was
particularly anxious to retain his own
pleasantly lucrative position. Consc-
qucntly the new governor was soon in
l., ceipt of petition in which the
special qualifications for the place
were set forth in glowing terms by
himself.
The governor sent for him and said
gravely, 1T appears from the petition
that YOU have been in the penitentiary
eight years"
Il hGVr." was the reply
and during that time YOU have
performed faithfully every duty that
has come i'm Your way to the best of
your ability "
Il have" answered the agent. his
courage swiftly rising
"Then, sir" said the governor. with
the air of one comforting priceless
favor, Il pardon YOU out"

Williams0n's Friends Believe Him In.
nOcent.
Rock Hill. Aug. s.-The body Of
young Louis Williamson. who was
killed at Gray Court. Laurens county.
Friday night. by ]. H. Garrison, was
brought here on the early train Sum
day morning. It was accompanied by
three OF the brothers and other rela-
tives who had gone down to meet It.
After the insurance requirements as
to Identification had been compiled
with the body, accompanied by a
number OF friends and relates from
Rock Hill, was taken out to the home
OF Mr.. Williamson's parents and
thence to Bethesda church. where SER
vices were conducted by Rev. ]. X.
Hall. the pastor. assisted by Rev. w.
I. Hall. D. D., Of the Presbyterian
seminary at Columbia.
The concourse which followed the
body to the grave was one Of the
largest ever seen In this part Of the
county, the line Of vehicles stretch
ing for more than three-quarters Of a
mile.
When the news reached here Satur-
daw morning it was felt that some-
thing was badly wrong, that a terri
BILE mistake had been made. All who
knew Louis Williamson felt that he
would be the last man in the world to
offer deliberate insult to womanhood
and more especially to one who had
held his affections. Every one felt
that terrible mistake had been
made. Now that the story Of the
tragedy, fearfully short story Of the
deed Is known. the feelings Of yester-
day are confirmed and the conviction
| IS strong that 1t was a most terrible
| mistake.
1t Is said that the evidence before
| the coroner's jury showed that there
| was nothing improper in the relations
| and actions of the young afianced
| lovers and that the dreadful deed was
| uncalled for by the circumstances
That 1t was the deed Of an over-sus-
picious and unbalanced mind is fully
believed here by all who knew this
young man who has gone to his grave
| and who know the young woman
whose life is wrecked by the very
deed which in its intention was
| meant to protect

If the lawyers for the Standard Oil
| company, highly specialized in all the
parts Of legal technicalities and dila-
tory pleas, think for moment they
have successful defiened the United
States government in the gross viola
tions Of the law In Illinois, where the
practice Of rebating was long con-
tinued and we'll established, they have
reckoned without the president him
self, and he announces his intention
In no uncertain terms to have the
case brought again before the courts
The decision Of the circuit court OF
appeals. reversing the Judgment OF
the court below in which Judge Lam
dis imposed fine of twenty-nine
million dollars on the corporation,
does not affect the merits of the case
In the slightest, as President Roose-
velt points out. and he Is determined d
that the case shall be tried again on
Its merits. under conditions which
will permit of bringing the guilty cor
poration to justice.
The exultation. mingled with brava-
do, by which the Standard Oil COM
pany, Of Illinois, increased Its capital
stock from one hundred thousand to
Ave hundred thousand dollars as soon
as the decision Of the circuit court
was made known, has not contributed
anything towards tranquillizing the
public mind and the new trial will be
awaited with interest akin to enthu-
siasm.
1t Is known and established fact
that the defendant company violat-
ed the law. and granted discrimnat-
ing rates which extinguished compe-
tition. 1t was granted one rate by
the railroad when another rate ap-
peared on the published schedule.
II corporation like the Standard
OIL company is to escape punishment
because Of its power and influence, it
is time the people knew it at once,
but so long as the law remains on the
statute books and the processes Of
the courts can be served, the fight
should be kept up until the corpora
tions and the individuals at the head
OF them are brought to justice.
The man who Is today at the head
OF the government will see to It, to
the best Of his ability.-Atlanta

Master during the other months OF
the year also. and beg to be released,

The king was wiping his eyes, which
were full Of tears Of merriment.

"or I shall die Of laughing. He grows
funnier every day."
Attendants surrounded the Jester
and forced him kindly but firmly from

The Fight on Christensen.

carney Ledger.
The YOrkville Enquirer is one of the
best reasoners In the State. Some
times we do not agree with the rea-
soning, but we are compelled to admit
that 1t generally stands on firm
ground. Last Friday the ENQUIRER
suggested that the fight being made
in Beaufort county against Senator
Christensen had its origin outside OF
the county, the purpose being to de-
feat Senator Christensen, who pos
sesscs valuable information against
the grafters, and thus lessen the
chances OF convicting them. We can
understand why those dispensary
grafters should desire to get rid OF
Christensen. He has proved a thorn
In the flesh to them. We cannot un.
derstand why the voters Of Beaufort
should desire to retire Christensen. He
is a power I'm the senate. He IS hon
est, patriotic and capable and no
other man, in our humble Judgment
could make them so good a represent
atiVe or the state SO valuable q sena-

BANKS TO ORGANIZE.
Plans for State Clearing House
Association of National Banks.

l'anS 1Of Stale Clearing House
Association of National Banks.
Columbia, Aug. 6.-There was a
| meeting here this afternoon at the Ma
| tional Loan and Exchange Bank con-
cern!ng the organization Of a clearing
house association, as provided for un-
der the national banking law.
At the recent session Of congress
| these clearing house associations were
| provided to issue what is known as
| emergency currency. The Act pro-
vides that such an association for the
issuance Of emergency currency un-
der certain restrictions can be orgoniz-
ed by group of national banks hav-
ing five million dollars Of capitai and
surplus. Only national banks with a
surplus Of 20 per cent are eligible in
the association. There are in al 20
national banks in South Carolina: of
this number % are eligible.
Representatives of 13 Of these ma
tional banks were present at today's
conference. None of the national
banks of Charleston were represented
in person. II all the national banks
in South Carolina go into the associa-
ton there will be just enough capital
and surplus represented to organize a
South Carolina Clearing House Asso-
citation under the terms Of the nation
al Act. If al the South Carolina ma
tional banks do not join, North Caro-
lima or Georgia will have to be asked.
A committee consisting Of Messrs. T.
B. Stackhouse, Columbia, j. w. Simp-
son. Spartanburg, and w. B. unlap,
Rock Hill, were appointed to write to
the banks not represented at todays
conference to join the South Caro-
lima association. The organization of
the association Is not required. but it
Is like the Texan with his pistol:
when he wants it, he wants 1t, with
out any delays" The understanding is
that the organization Of all the ma
tional banks for purposes Sc. forth in
the recent Act will be perfected.
Among those present were: Mr.. T.
B. Stackhouse. vice president, and Mr..
G. M. Berry, cashier of the National
