Row at Newberry Carnival.

Newberry, Nov. 1.-THE Johnny
J. Jones' carnival has been the at
traction in Newberry all this week
and has been attracting large crowds.
Last night about 9 o'clock quite a
sensation was caused on the carnival
grounds by a difficulty between two
young men, in which pistol and a
club were freely used At the time
of the shooting the grounds were
crowded and it is miraculous that
greater damage was not done.
The parties were two young white
men, Tom Berley of this county and
Mitchell Wright of the Mollohon mill
this city. Berley used club freely
over Wright's head, fracturing the
skull in one or two places. Wright
used his pistol, shooting three times,
one ball taking effect in Berley's left
arm. Mr.. Boyd Jacobs, a young man
of the city, who was on the grounds
with some ladies, standing about SO
yards from where the parties were
having the difficulty, was struck In
the foot by a stray bullet and re-
ceived a painful wound.
The occurrence cause quite com
motion on the carnival grounds. Both
parties were placed under arrest and
given medical attention.

Howard Resigns.

Columbia, November AT a meet
ing of the directors of the Columbia
Savings Bank and Trust Company to-
day, ex-Gov. D c. Hayward rendered
his resignation as president to take
effect not later than January.
Gov. Hayward stated that his ac-
ton was taken because his physician
had advised him to give up work OF
this character at this time on account
of his health.
After the meeting of the board
Governor Hayward said that in ten
dering his resignation he was taking
a course that had for some time been
considered necessary to complete the
restoration of his health. His physi-
clan attributed his breakdown last
summer to the unaccustomed conf1ne-
ment to office work the last six years,
after a life spent on his plantation,
and it is his intention now to devote
himself as largely as possible, at least
for the present, to his rice plantation
in Colleton.

Too Dangerous.

Old Aunt Hepsy Garside never had
seen a moving picture show before.
She gazed in speechless wonder at
the magic contrivance by which mes
senger boys were made to move with
breackneck speed, BARRIERS to shave
their customers in less thana minute,
and heavy policemen to dash along
the street at rate never attained by
a living specimen, either on duty or
off duty.
It was all real to her. She could
not doubt the evidence Of her senses.
All those things were taking place
exactly as depicted. l
Presently an automobile came In
sight in the far background, moving
directly toward the audience at the
rate of at least mile a minute.
Just as catastrophe seemed inevi-
table it swerved aside, passed on and
disappeared. -.
Aunt Hepsy could stand it no long
er. Hastily grasping the hand OF
her little neice, she rose and, started
swiftly for the door.
*'Come along, Minervy!" she said.
''It amt safe to stay here any longer!
That thing didn't miss me more than
two feet!"-Youth's Companion.

RECONCILED AND SEPARATED.
Latest Chapter in the Sad History
of the WoOten Family.

2. w. Wooten, who was Thursday
cleared by a Lexington county grand
jury of the charge of assault upon
his deformed stepchild, was in the
city yesterday. Wooten and his wife
toon an apparently affectionate fare
well down at the union station, the
former boarding the Augusta train
and his wife taking the train for
Sumter.
While the two were engaged in
taking the aforesaid farewell, the
wife, with a generous shedding OF
tears, informed Wooten that she had
been put up to- having the case
brought against him in the court.
And through it all the wife said she
would come to him if he would only
send her the money to pay the rail-
road fare.
Wooten went away avowing that
he was going to bring suit for false
arrest against the persons who had
brought the case against him. The
whole affair was an ugly one and 1t
was not generally believed that
Wooten was guilty of the offense with
which he was charged, Va crime OF
which any white man should be IN
capable.
When the case was called in Lex
ington county before Magistrate
Bachman the latter sent it up, after
the preliminary hearing, to the high
er court and the grand jury found
no bill against Wooten. In the case
there were two witnesses who, when
examined, failed to corroborate the
Testimony of Mrs. Wooten.
The man was charged with assault
upon his deformed stepchild, who is
an imbecile. The stepfather, the
mother and the girl were seen in Co
Iumbia during the fair Of 1907. The
girl was exhibited in one Of the tent
shows and the then starving cond1-
tion of these people created quite a
deal of talk at the time. The show
did not pay well and it was found
necessary to give money toward the
support of the three unfortunates.
Some chorus girls were the first to
discern their abject poverty.-Colum-
sbia State.

WOOten released.

Lexington, Nov. 5.-The grand
jury to-day failed to find a true bill
in the case of z. w. Wooten, the white
man who was charged with assault,
his alleged victim being his little STEP
daughter, an imbecile This case has
attracted no little attention. Wooten's
wife was the main witness against
him, both at the preliminary and be-
fore the grand jury. The story of
Wooten's arrest and the circum-
stances connected with the case are
familiar to the readers of The State.
He was released from custody this af-
ternoon. 1t is said that Mrs. Hutto
of Pelion failed to corroborate the
testimony of Mrs. Wooten.

Here Are Facts.

50 We clip the following from the
Bamberg Herald of last week.
R "We notice that the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat says is was
offered some of the Standard Oil
( Company money, We hope Editor
z Sims will tell who offered it to
him, the amount offered, and the
! conditions accompanying the Of
y fer"
It will be remembered that Mr..
McLaurin launched his Commercial
Democracy scheme in speech at
Charlotte during the summer of
1902. The Sunday following are de-
livery of that speech, a friend OF Sen
ator McLaurin's visited us in the in
terest of the Senator. He said the
Senator could not understand why
we were then opposing him when
we had supported him so warmly
when he was elected to the Senate
a few years before. We. replied that
we were Democrat. The gentleman
answered that so was Senator NC
Laurin. We then said that he was
not our kind OF Democrat.
He then remarked that he thought
we misunderstood the Senator's po-
sition, and said that Senator Nc
Laurin had requested him to come
and see us. That the Senator wanted
us to publish all his speeches and
letters and draw on him at the rate
of s25 per column. We answered
that we intended to publish all of the
Senator's speeches and letters that
would be of interest to the public, but
we most respectfully declined recelv-
ing any pay from Senator McLaurln
for so doing. When we had the above
conversation with Senator McLaur-
fn's friend the speech the Senator
had made in Charlotte was then In
type in our Office and was published
the next week in The Times and
Democrat and the "ready prints" we
get out. Had we accepted Senator
McLaurin's offer, we could nave
drawn on him for 500 for publish
ing that article, but we could not
see how we could accept the Sena-
tors money for publishing news
matter and feel free to oppose him.
So we declined his kind offer.
During that year we published a
great deal of the Senator's SPEECHES,
and had we accepted pay for them
on the terms proposed by the sena,
tor through his friend, we would
have made very handsome thing
out of it from a financial point o.,
view. We do not know where the
Senator got the money from that ne
offered us, but we hardly thought
it came out of his pocket, and since
it has transpired that he was on IN, IN,
innate terms with the Standard OIL
people we infer he got the money
from them. We decline to divulge
the name of the Senator's friend VINO
came to see US, as we are satlshed
that he at that time had no idea that
the Senator was dickering with the
great oil trust. He was very warm
friend of the Senator's then and came
to see US in his interest as SUCH.
These are the cold facts and the Her.
aid can draw it's own conclusion

DEMOCRATS GAIN.
Nine Additional Members in Con-

Chicago, November 5.-The Repub-
lican party will, according to present
returns from all congressional dis
tricts in the United States, control
the next national house of represen-
tatives by a majority of Al. The
figures so far received show the cleo
ton of ZIG Republicans and IT'S
Democrats, gain of the latter party
of nine. The majorities in several
districts are reported as extremely
close, and it is possible that in few
instances the official count may
change the figures given above.
