Why should a reference to cam

ing" or if a man INDUCES in plain
speaking why should it be called
s.abuse?" We fail to see wherein
lies either designation in the card OF
Mr.. O. B. Martin in reference to the
candidacy Of ex-governor D. c. Hey
ward for the United States Senate.
Mr.. Martin may not be a factor in
the Senatorial race, still the news
papers should accord him fair treat
ment, and with all due respect to our
brethren of the press. they have not
given him such treatment in their
comments on his recent>card referr-

public record is always in order, and
there can be no cause for complaint
where no wrong doing is charged or
insinuated nor epithets used. Mr..
Martins language was certainly par
liamentary, and we see no reason for
calling it mud singing"

AIKEN, April 25.-Information has
been received tonight that Hon. 6. l..
Toole will be put out by the prohlbl'
tionists as candidate for the state SEN
ate. Mr.. Toole is now an announced
candidate for congress, and it is not
known whether or not ne will consent
to defect from his original intentions,
but the prohibitionists believe that he
will run. He is being urged very strong
" to enter the race. He is an out-and,
out prohibitionist and is considered the
most available man to be run. He is now
senator from this county.
Hon. T. 6. Croft, it is stated will also
make the race. He is a local-option man,
and will doubtless run on that platform
1t is highly probable that complete
ticket will be put out by the prohlbl'
tionists for all county officers. Candl'
dates for the house of representatives
will be put into the race soon, and it is
expected that other announcements vii
follow.

candidate for the office of solicitor OF the
Second circuit in the person of Mr.
James F. Byrnes. AS court stenograph-
er of this circuit for the past eight years.

ed and he has received many assurances
of support from the four counties COM
prising the circuit. Mr.. Byrnes served
five wears in a law office before being
appointed court stenographer in 1900.
In 1908 he was admitted to the bar and
the experience Of eight years in con-
slant attendance upon the courts OF the

office of solicitor, with the duties OF
which office he is so thoroughly familiar.
In his candidacy he will receive the sup
port of nearly all the attorneys in Aiken
and of attorneys in other counties OF the
circuit and will make good race.

DRAGGED TO HIS DEATH.
Son of Laurens County Farmer Meets
Terrible Fate.

LAURENs, April 25.-Mr. Edwin
Hill, young man of the Cross Hill
section, was killed yesterday after
noon in a most horrible manner. He
was ploughing in a field some distance
from his fathers home and, it is
presumed. unhitched his mule from
the plough, mounted it and rode TO-
ward a spring for water. The mule
ran away with heyoung man, throw:
ing him and dragging him all around
the field and through the woods.
The tracks in the vicinity show that
the animal was headed towards the
spring and also that the body of Mr..
Hill was dragged for a considerable
distance.
The mule went to the house about
dark and, of course, caused fears on
the part of family. A party went out
in search of young Hill and at II
o'clock found him in an unconscious
state near the field where he had
been ploughing. His body was hor-
ribly cut and mangled, beaten almost
to pieces against the trees and rocks:
He never regained consciousness and
died last night at 2 o'clock.
Mr.. Hill was a hard-working, in.
dustriousyoung man, 18years Of age;
He was a son of Mr.. ]. G. Hill, OF
Cross Hill, and a member Of one OF
the largest families in the county.

SERIOUS CHARGE.
Two White Men In Jail Charged With
Criminal Assault.

B. Lancaster and Dock LANCASTER,
two young white men, were lodged
in the county Jail in Spartanburg last
Thursday on the charge of having
committed criminal assault on four
teen-year-old girl at Clifton some
days ago. The warrant for their ar
rest was sworn out before Magistrate
Potter, of Cowpens. The men were
arrested in Rutherfordton, N. Z.
Constable Harper went to Ruther-
fordton Wednesday night and Thurs
day morning he returned with the
prisoners.
The story of their crime is that
they, with a third party, came upon
two sisters picking up chips one after,
noon two weeks ago. The youngest
sister was seized and taken off by two
of the men. The third man remained
with the other sister. The girls
promptly reported the affair, and
their relatives at once had warrants
sworn out for their arrest. The Lam.
caster boys were soon located but
the third party party has not been
heard of since.

Spartanburg Traction Deal.

SPARTANBURG, April 25.-The
Electric Power and Manufacturing
Company, of which R. c. Crawford,
of Pittsburg, is president, has pur:-
chased the Spartanburg Street Rail
way, Gas and Electric Company. The
purchase price has not been made
public, though it is believed to be
between three hundred and five
hundred thousand dollars. The trans
fer will be made at an early date.
The Electric Power and Manfactur-
ing Company is composed of Pitts
burg capitalists engaged in develop
ing water powers in this section.
While on a recent visit to this city,
they saw a good investment in the
street railway plant, and purchased
/ it. It is understood that extensive
improvements will be made in ex
tending lines and purchasing new
cars. The date is not far distant when
every cotton mill in this county will
be connected with Spartanburg by
trolley line.

Successful American Singers.

American singers are the best In the
world, says a critic. In Italy the
singer who can attack and hold high
notes is admired. In Germany robust
voices are liked and technique is not
insisted upon. French singers generally
sing fat. The American priYa donna
has naturally good voice and the
sense to avoid the glaring errors OF the
continentals. Consequently she has ar.
rived In Europe American singers are
everywhere in demand. Games, Nor.
dica, Farrar, Walker, GrisWold and
Maclennan are all among the stars OF
the great foreign opera houses. Amer
lean girls, too, are learning that they
can get as good vocal training at
home as they can abroad.

Liquor Scandal in Williamsburg.

Gov. Ansel has now before him the
Williamsburg dispensary board case con-
tanning serious charges against two
members of that board which may re-
suit in decisive action being taken by
his excellency.
The two members of the dispensary
board are ]. M. Parker and J. M. Bass
and it is charged that they bought sup
piles from Bleuthenthal & Bickert,
formerly of Atlanta but now of Balti-
more, at higher price than bids sub
mitted by other firms and that bids were
awarded after the quarterly supplies
were purchased.
When an investigation was ordered
with reference to these charges some
time ago, Dispensary Auditor West held
an official inquiry and took the testimony
affecting the two members of the board
and J. D. Gilland, former clerk of the
board. The answer of the two men filed
Yesterday, after a hearing had been
ordered by Gov. Ansel, stated that the
members did not knowingly violate the
law, that they bought certain brands
because there was a demand for them
and the difference in the prices would
not have affected the sales of the Balti-
more firm.
An opinion by Mr.. Gilland stated that,
after consultation with the attorney
general, goods should not be purchased
in excess of the quarterly contract.
Gov. Ansel has the matter under ad-
visement and will announce his decision
in few days.

A Brave Georgia Girl.

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, April 22.-Miss
Ellen Quarterman, fourteen years of
age, who was attacked by a negro
Saturday morning near Thomasville
and who repulsed him with a pistol,
has been presented with diamond
studded watch and pearl-handled
pistol by the citizens of Thomasville
in token of their admiration Of her
bravery.
Parties arestill searching thewoods
near Kingwood for the negro and ex-
pect to find him tonight. 1t is prob
able that there will be a lynching.
Miss Quarterman was shot at three
times by a negro while at her home
alone. One bullet pierced her hat,
another her dress and a third went
wild, She also shot three times at
the negro, but he fled.
Later the negro came back and told
Miss Quarterman that he was going
to kill her. Without a word, she fired
at him again. It is thought ne was
hit, but he escaped.
It appears that the negro went to
the home of Miss Quarterman and
asked for money. Upon being re-
fused he drew hispistol.
When the news of the attack be-
came known dogs and posses were
secured at Thomasville and thorough
search made, but with no success,
To-day it became known that the ne.
gro was in hiding in some woods near
the city and it is believed that he will
be caught and lynched tonight.

A Brilliant Pittsburs Woman.

One of the brainest women that
Pittsburg ever produced was Miss
Kate Cassatt Mcknight, who died re-
Gently. She was woman OF great
wealth and the best social position.
Social position in Pittsburg does not
mean belonging to one Of the new rich
Ymillionaire families which spring up
like mushrooms and, knowing the
hopelessness Of making social appeal
to the old Scotch-Irish set that forms
its aristocracy, carry their money and
their eccentricities to New York, where
they find appreciation, If not on Fifth
avenue. at least on Broadway. Miss
Mcknight was connected with the
O'Haras. the Dennys and the Schenleys,
families that, like the 4stors. have
many millions invested in land. She
was also related to Mrs. Margaret De
land, her beautiful, old fashioned home
being situated in that very Chester
which Mrs. Deland's pen has made
famous The Cassatts of Philadelphia
were also connections Of hers. A rich
and brilliant woman, she cared little
for society and gave her life to civic,
educational and philanthropic work
She was school director from the Fifth
the millionaire ward Of Allegheny
and the only woman ever elected to
such an Office in Greater Pittsburg.
She supported and gave her time to
the Helping Hand society, club for
self supporting women. She was IN
terested in the Newsboys' home and the
Boys Civic club and was member OF
Twentieth Century Club For Women,
an organization not unlike New York's
Colonial club. The president OF the
State Federation Of Women's Clubs,
she was also the chairman Of the COM
mittee on civics for the General Fed
GRAFTON Of Gibbs.
