STRYCHNINE IN AN EGG.
Poison Intended for Dog Gets Into
Marlboro Home.

Mrs. W. H. Peters, of Benefits
vile, recently discovered among some
eggs which she had bought one which
contained str'ychnine. In breaking the
eggs she noticed that it had little
hole in it and she broke it in a seper-
ate saucer. Her husband. Mr. W..
Fl. Peters of the Marlboro Drug Co.
analyzed the mixture and found that
it contained enough strychlne to XIII
several people. The egg came through
the hands of R. D. Rogers & Bro,
and had been bought by them from
the country. They were, of course,
entirely ignorant of the whole mat
ter and thought that the egg was
fresh and bought it for such. 1t is
probable that the egg had been liked
by the person who sold 1t for dog
and that it became mixed up in the
number OF fresh eggs which were
brought to town and sold to r. D.
Rogers & Bro. 1t is fortunate that
Mrs. Peters discovered the mater IN
time, else there might have been a
different tale to tell.

AGED MAN ATTEMPS SUICIDE.
z. C. Martin, Father of o. b. Martini
Jumps Into Pond.

Mr.. Thomas G. Martin, father or
State Superintendent of Education o..
B. Martin and Mr.. B. F. Martin, a
leading Anderson attorney, made an
unsuccessful attempt at suicide by
drowning Saturday morning.
He jumped into ;. small pond on
Mrs. Eva Murray's place in Anderson.
and was discovered soon after he had
Jumped. He was dragged to the
bank by Mr.. Duff Murray, who was
attracted to the spot, and medical at
tention was quickly secured, restor-
ative measures adopted and that he
was recovering from the severe shock
at the Anderson hospital.
Mr.. Martin formerly lived in Pick
ems Counn and for several years has
been living in Greenville. Some
weeks ago he came to Anderson and
has been making his home with his
son, Mr.. D. F. 1artin.
He is in his c:shtieth year, and has
been in wretched health for some
time, and it is said that his nervous
system is almost a wreck. This, II
is thought, caused him to make the
rash attempt on his life.

TROUBLE AT PEEDEE
Another Sensational Hold up and
Robbery Near the Junction.

The Florence Times says: Blake
w. Godbold, station daypumper for
A. c.. L., was assaulted and robbed
about mile from Pee Dee last Fri
day p. m. at o'clock. Godbold was
on the Dillon road attending to his
lamps when he was jerked backward
over the track choaked. Only a
few hours before, he had drawn a
months wages, $4,000, which the
assailant got. He is described as
being tall, powerfully built negro,
a scar on his forehead and supposed
to be named Witherspoon, a former
workman of the Marion County Lum-
Der Company. Three negroes were
within hundred yards of Godbold
but neither went to his assistance.
1t afterwards developed that there
was another negro implicated who
was hiding in the bushes. Pursuit
was given by the railroad men, Capt.
B. E. Valley, Of the trestle force TAX
ing the lead. The negro has not
been found yet, though he is sup
posed to be still hiding near Pee Dee.
A suspicious looking negro was held
for identity but Godbold said he was
not the robber. He was freed and
told to leave Pee Dee at once. After
wards it was discovered that he was
the man hiding in the bushes. A
plan vas also on foot to rob S. j..
White: the night Watchman, but a
little boy told White in time for him
to thwart them. This recalls the
mysterious case of C. e. Kale, for
mer night watchman whose body was
found almost lifeless on the railroad
track last December.

CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS
At Washington Came to an End on
Last Friday.

The first conference Of the Gov
! ernors of the States of the American
Union ended at Washington IN Fri
day. The final accomplishment of
the Conference which had been in
progress at the White House for
three days, cannot be foretold with
mathematical precision. That its
immediate results are more than
ample is the expression of the Presi-
dent and the Governors who have
participated.
Hon. William Jennings Bryan was
one of five citizens invited by Presi-
dent to take part in the conference.
All of the five were present except
Ex-President Cleveland. The confer
ence issued declaration as to things
in general and about the welfare of
the country. President Roosevelt
presided at the last meeting of the
conference and took an active part in
it's proceedings. At the close of the
conference he introduced Mr.. Bryan,
who was most enthusiastically receiv-
ed by the Governors.
Mr.. Bryan acknowledged his OBJ
legations to President Roosevelt for
the opportunity to participate in an
historic event of the first magnitude.
The discussion already had, he said,
would help define the sphere of ma
tional and State control. He said he
was jealous of any encroachment up
on the rights of the State, but it was
entirely consistent with his theory to
believe that it was just as imperative
that the General Government should
discharge the duties delegated to it
as it was that the States should eXer-
else the powers reserved to them.
"There will be no twilight zone be-
tween the nation and the State, con-
tinued Mr.. Bryan, "in which exploit
ing interests can take refuge from
both, and my observation is that
most of the contentious over the line
! between nation and State are trace
able to predatory corporations
which are trying to shield themselves
from deserved punishment or en-
deavoring to prevent needed restrain
ing legislation

MANY LOSE LIVES.
Death and Destruction Wrought in
the Yang Use Kiang.

News of one Of the greatest disast-
ers China has ever known, sud
den tidal bore in the Yang Use Kiang,
which involved loss Of nearly 10
900 lives at Hankow, was brought
by the steamer Titan.
A bore twenty-siX feet in height,
flooded without warning down the
river overturning thousands of junks,
sampans and small boats and wreck
ing some large river steamers.
Some 5000 Chinese were sleeping
in the sampans and small craft and
mat sheds and huts by the riverside
at Hankow and they were envelored
by the great wave.
The scenes for many days after inc
disaster were horrible, the river be-
ing strewn with the dead and the
debris of the wrecked craft for man!

SENATOR TILLMAN
SAILED FOR EUROPE FROM Bos-
TON ON SATURDAY.
Says We Have the Republicans Beat
en- and that Bryan Will Be Elect
ed in November.

A special dispatch from Boston to
the Charleston Post says Senator Till
man, in an interview just before he
stepped aboard the Canopic with Mrs.
Tillman for a European trip, Satur-
day morning said, referring to the
presidential election, "We have then!
licked. The other fellows are in a
broken and disgruntled state"
Regarding the outlook for the COM
ing Presidential election the Senator
said: Il am going to Europe for two
reasons. One is to escape the Pres
idential campaign, and the other is
t. have rest and good time.
am tired and am going away to get
back my health. l am going to
Spain to see if they can cook garlic
the way like it. No poking around
for curiosities or beautiful paintings
for mine"
Mr.. Tillman also in the course of
the interview likened President Roos-
evelt to Caesar. while the President
may be the wisest man in the United
States today, am not willing to ac-
knowledge it," he declared. Il
think there is no fear of Mr.. Roose-
velt's being the next President. Will
liam Jennings Bryan is the man who
will next occupy the White House."
Accompanying the Senator is his
physician, DR.. ]. w. Babcock, of Co.

Augusta South Railway Company at

Authorities of the road disputed this
theory and say they believe he died
rom natural causes.
