New Counterfeit Found

Washington, Dec. 10.-A new
counterfeit So silver certificate,
Indian head, has been discovered
by the secret service officials,
who de9pre that il is dangerous
and deceptive counterfeit. 1t is
said to be particularly deceptive
by reason Of the fact that is is
printed on genuine paper, which
has been obtained by bleaching
a note of smaller denominations,
probably a 81 bill. In bleach
ing the note the color has been
taken out Of some of the dis.
trlbuted silk fiber lying close to
the surface, but the deeply inn
bedded fiber is still visible in the
paper, though the blue has been
changed to purple and the red
has been snmewhat hghtened.
The back Sf the note is decep-
tive, but lis a blue green and
darker than the genuine.

Dor.
Greenwood special in Thurs
days Columbia State: John l..
Arnold, a young white farmer
and merchant, was shot and al
most instantly killed yesterday
about noon by l.. A. Lloyd, a

Arnold was drawing water from
the we'll and Lloyd called 10 him
and then came down to the well
cursing Arnold and called him
a vile name. That Arnold re-
piled that Lloyd was to old for
him (Arnold) too strike, that he
did not want the we'll bucket
and chain, that he would get a
new one and put it on. That
Mr.. Lloyd continued to curse
and drew out his pistol. The two
men were standing near each
other. That Arnold made a grab
for the pistol and that Lloyd
fired the pistol, almost touching
Arnold. The bullet entered
the left side, just above the
waist line Arnold died almost
instantly. Lloyd came to town

THE PANAMA SCANDAL
The New York wv orld
Makes Sensational Attack
on Roosevelt

New; YORK, Dec 10. The
New York World, to which De-
lavan Smith, editor Of the In
dianapolis News, referred in his
reply to President Roosevelt's
attack on him as the authority
for the article on the Panama
canal which appeared in his pa
per and called forth the presi-
dents letter, says tc day
"In view Of President Roose-
velt's deliberate misstatements
OF fact in his scandalous attack
on Mr.. Delsvan Smith, editor Of
The indianapolis News, The
World calls upon the congress
of the United States to immedi-
ately make full and impartial
investigation of the entire Pana-
ma canal scandal.
Tine investigation of 1906 by
the senate commission of the in
terOceanic canals was blocked
by the refusal Of William Mel
son Cromwell to answer the most
pertinent questions of Senator
Morgan, of Alabama. Since
that time nothing has been done,
because, after Senator Morgau's
death, there was no successor to
carry on his great work of re-
vealing the truth about the Pan
anna corruption.
"The Indianapolis News said
in the editorial Tor which Mr..
Roosevelt assails Mr. Smilh:
cit has been charged that the
United States bought from
American citizens for $40 900,
600 property that cost those citi-
zens only $12,OOO,OOO. There is
no doubt that the government
paid $40,O0O,OO0 for the proper.
ty. But. who got the money ?"
president Roosevelrs reply
to this most proper question is
for the most part string of
abusive and defamatory epithets.
But he also makes the following
statements as truthful imforma-
ton to the American people:
"The United States did not
pay cent OF the $40,0OO,OOO to
to any American citizen. The
government paid the 100000.
600 direct to the French govern.
ment getting the receipt OF the
liqu'dator appointed by govern
ment to receive the same.
The United States govern
men has not the slightest &nowl.
edge as to the particular indivi-
duals among whom the French
government d istriouted the same.
$50 far as | know, there
was no syndicate there certainly
was no syndicate in the United
States that to my knowledge had
any dealingss with the govern
ment, directly or indirectly.'
ITO the best of The Worlds
knowledge and belief, each and
all o. these statements made by
Mr.. Roosevelt and quoted above
are untrue, and Mr.. Roosevelt
must have known they were un
true when he made them.

THE BAPTIST CONTENTION
Interesting Reports of the
Years's Work made by the
Various Boards.

State, Dec. 10: The Baptist

All the reports of the boards
of the convention were submit.
ted and turned over to commit
tees. DR.. G @. Brown made
his report on the old preachers
fund. This board has helped so
beneficiaries to the amount of
$500. This board has fund
of $4,000 as permanent invest
ment.
DR.. j. A. Brown read the re
port on the board of ministerial
education. This board is aiding
20 young men, ministerial stu
dents, in Furman university. Its
total receipts for the year were
$9S9.2O.
Work of Connie Maxwell or
phanage was reported by the
superintendent, Rev. A. T. la
mison. During the year 226
children have been enrolled.
The total receipts have amount
ed to $23,1 1874. Eight of the
boys and girls rom the orphanage
are this year in various colleges
of the State pursuing courses
that lead to graduation.
The report of the State mis-
sion board was submitted by Se-
cretary L. M. Bailey. The work
of this year has gone beyond that
of any preceding year. 1t has
employed 1877 missionaries male
and female), who have occupied
19S stations. There have been
1851 conversions. Eighteen
churches have been organized.
This board was instructed by the
convention to do its work the past
year on basis of $4,000, and
at present there is deficit of
$500. 1t is quite probable
that this will be raised in a few
weeks. This report makes spe.
cial mention of the great help
rendered by the ladies' mission
ary societies.
The field secretary of Sunday
schools read the report of his
work. He has visited 10 church.
es and conducted number of
Sunday school Institutes.
DR.. h. O. James, president of
Greenville Female college, sub.
mitted the report of the college
trustees. The need to accom-
modate students has pressed
them so hardly that .Aey have
purchased building on their
own responsibility, hoping the
churches will laid in paying for
it.
President Poteat of Furman
university read a report of the
colleges work. The number Of
students is IL above last year,
making the total 262. About 40
of the students are contemplating
work in the foreign mission field.
There are three meetings week,
one on each floor of Montague
hall. Since last conventio II the
financial agents, Messrs. East.

$4,000 raised by subscription

Scottish Sempstress third in this
class. These also took the same
prizes IN the "Iowa Special" class.
In the senior heifer class his Lady
