RHETT ANNouNcEs FOR sENArE
ICharleston's Executive Makes Formal
Statesment--Solicits Support.

Charleston, June 1O.--Mayor
r ,ett announced his candidacy to-
night for United States Senator.
Following a conference at his Of
flee at the Peoples National Bank
he gave out the following statement:
ITO the Democratic voters OF
South Carolina: have determined
to be a candidate for United States
Senator at the approaching primary
election. shall tomorrow file my
pledge with the State Democratic
committee as required by the rules
of the party and will abide by the
rules of the primary election. 1
respectfully solicit the support of
Democratic voters OF the State.
"R. Goodwin Rhett."
The announcement OF the candf-
dacy of Mayor Rhett will be I'm the
nature of a surprise to the voters of
the State, and his name has not
heretofore been mentioned in connec-
ton with the office. He and Ex-
Governor Hayward have been close
business and personal friends for
years and with the decision of the
latter to forego making the race on
account of his health, Mayor Rhett
decided to enter the race. IA
Further than the statement given
above Mayor Rhett said tonight that
he had nothing to say, but that in the
next few days he will probably make
a statement.
Mayor Rhett is one of the best
known and regarded men In the
State and 1t Is admitted that his can
didacy is strong one. He Is one of
the most successful business men in
Charleston, having large financial in
terests, but these have not interfered
with a close study of public uues-
tions and on these matters he is par
ticularly we'll qualified to discuss
and make the race for the office that
he seeks. He was delegate at large
to the Democratic National Conven-
tion four years ago.
He entered upon his second admin.
istration as mayor Of Charleston last
December, after having served seve-N
raj terms as an alderman and has
held other positions Of. public trust.
Mayor Rhett has spoken before COM
mercial organizations in Columbia,
Anderson and other cities in the IN
terest of the State, where he has
many strong friends and supporters.
His discussions of financial and rail-
road questions have especially i'm
pressed his knowledge Of matters Of
the kind. This was particularly in
evidence in the consideration given
to his views recently on the pro-
posed reform of currency legislation
by government officials and writer's
on financial matters.
Mayor Rhett is good speaker and
h. tr@e N<~r L.
the Office that he seeks. He will en-
deavor to enlighten the public on the
questions of the day and will make
the race on his merit rather than on
any attack on opposing candidates. 1t
is thought that he will get good
portion OF Heyward's strength
throu ghout the State.

Lightning Bolt Strikes Youths.

Charlotte, N. c., June 14.-One
lad was instantly killed and four
others seriously, perhaps fatally,
injured by lightning near Lexington,
Davidson county, this morning, in an
unusual manner. The boys were out
gathering plums when heavy storm
came up and they took refuge in the
office of a deserted manufacturing
building. Formerly telephone had
been in use in the Office, but it had
been removed, leaving only the wires.
Lightning struck the wires outside
the building and travelled to the office
where the boys had gathered, in
stantly killing Odell Young, IA years
old, and injuring four others SO seri-
ously that they have not regained
consciousness. There were seven in
the party and two were uninjured
They hurried to a nearby residence
and gave the alarm, summoning aid
to the injured. None of the injured
boys was over 8 years of age.

"BLIND TOM DIEgIN HoBoKEN

died yesterday in Hoboken, N. j.,
where he had been living for Yeats
In retirement and subsisting on char

given In his burial certificate, but
the surname was one which the fam

a slave near Columbus, Ca, about
1850.
In early childhood Tom who wos
born entirely blind and more than
half idiotic, showed himself remark
ably initiative, frequently stealing
into the house of his master to re-
produce on the pianoforte pieces he
had heard played by others. In
1851 he became SO proficient on the
instrument that he was taken to New
York and exhibited as phenomenon
and later was widely heard in the

TALLuLAH EAILs MENAcEp.
BY Thos. r. Ryan's Deal--Will the
Forests Be Slaughtered?
s(Atlanta Georgian.

Atlanta Georgian.)
Is beautiful Tallulah Falls to give
place to a dry rayine?
Or Will the national government
step In and protect the falls by es-
tablfshing forest reserve?
A powerful syndicate, backed by
Thomas Fortune Ryan and his mil
lions, Is said to be negotiating the
purchase OF timber lands above the
falls. The tract to be bought is a
strip extending four miles ON each
side OF the river, above the falls and
ten miles up the stream. The land
Is covered With valuable timber, and
III this is cut 1t will destroy the ma
tural watershed above the falls and
the rains will cut their way through
other courses. twill be only few
years until the. falls will disappear
or Do reduced to puny stream.
1t is believed, however, that the
Ryan interests contemplate cutting
the timber at an early date, The
syndicate is making enormous purE
Dhases of timber lands In West yir-
ginia and in several Southern States,
some of the tracts purchased being
far from q railroad and not immedf-
ately available for timber. The same
Interests are building the Clinch
river railway and planning other rail-
road improvements in the South, and
1t Is believed they are investing in
timber lands in order to "salt away"
large part of the immense Ryan
holdings I'm something more substap-
tial than Wall street stocks.
It is confidently expected that the
next Congress will pass the forest
reserve bill and open the, way for, the
conservation Of natural resources.
Besides being one of the beauty spots
OF the South, Tallulah Falls is one of
the most splendid water powers in
Georgia. If the forestry bill becomes
law, steps probably will be eaken
at once to provide for the purchase
of such lands above the falls as will
insure protection from timber cut
ting and destruction of the water
power possibilities.
