BOOKKEEPER CHLOROFORNIED.
And the Office He Was In Set on
Fire.

Greenville, Nov. 10.-A most mys-
terious thing happened in this city
at half-past II o'clock last night.
At that hour fire was discovered in
the Office of William Goldsmith, Jr,
real estate agent in the Palmetto
building on Main street. AS the
firemen entered the room a man was
found lying on the floor with his
head wrapped. He was hastily re-
moved, and it was found that he was
Mr.. T. e. Mccullough, Mr.. Gold
smiths bookkeeper.
He says that as he entered the
office from closet about II o'clock,
some one threw rag over his heal
and that was the last he knew until
he came to in the police station
The rag was chloroformed and it
is very plain that the work was that
Of robbers. The flames were extn-
guished with a little damage.
Mr.. Mccullough was down posting
his books, and they were all out Oh
the shelves, and the safe was open
Mr. McCullough's keys were taken
from his pocket, and thus far the
police have not been able to find
them. The whole case is shrouded
in mystery, but the general opinion
is that robbers had chloroformed Mr.
Mccullough. How the fire originated
is mystery.

VOTES HELD BACK
SUSPICION OF FRAUD IN OHIO
AND INDIANA.
Count in Various Congressional Dis
tricts Also Held Up for an I'm
raasonehJe Time

Washington, Nov. 10.-For some
reason or other the returns from
the various congressional district
have been coming in exceedingly In
complete, and from some doughtful
districts they have not come in at
all; so that with all the tables be-
ing published in various newspapers
purporting to show the. exact
membership of the Sixty-first con-
gress, there is no really reliable in
formation at hand even now, over
week after the election.
Dispatches from Washington and
New York have been enumerating
hahn and Hays, Republican men,
bers from California, reelected for
instance. Mr.. Kahn's secretary here
has received telegram from Kahn
himself saying that both he and
Hays have been defeated. Yet not
one single dispatch from California
has announced the result. There is
an impression here that the returns
have been held back to be fixed.
There are several instances of
holding back returns in Indian |,
Ohio and other State which were
doubtful, but where the election
machinery was in the hands of Re-
publicans, which are suspicious.
There are those hereabouts famii-
lar with methods in those States
when the G. o. P. has bar'l Of
money who express a serious doubt
as to Indiana's giving Marshall, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
a plurality of 10000 and Taft a
plurality Of $4,000.
Indiana is a notoriously corrupt
State politically, and the Republicans
poured several hundred thousand
dollars into it during the closing
days Of the election, and yet it has
not been fully determined whethe!
they bought up the voters them
selves or some Of the election man
ayers. And it is the same as to
other States.
"A Republican newspaper man from
Ohio said to me the other day that
1t was his belief that the Ohio re-
turns were held back because the
the Republican leaders were asham-
ed Of Taft's small majority and that
they would announce them at a
time when they would not attract
so much attention. It is still a
matter OF some considerable doubt
throughout the country. whether
Taft's majority in Ohio was $4,000
or $4,000. And some doubt whether
Taft carried Ohio at all, legitimately.

WINTHROP FEVER SITUATION is
NOT ALARMING.
College Authorities and State Health
officials Go Over the Situation.
An Official Statement.

Officials Go over the Sltuation.
An Official Statement.
Rock Hill, Nov. 1O.-On Novem-
Der 4 the State health officer was
notified by the acting president OF
Winthrop college that there had been
an outbreak of typhoid fever in that
institution. At the same time the
matter was reported to the local
health authorities and they, togeth-
er with the college physicians and
the State health officer, Immediately
began Investigations.
Assuming drinking water and milk
to be the two most fruitful sources
for the spread of the disease, it was
deemed wise to eliminate these
sources at the earliest possible mo-
ment. An arrangement was amade
with the city authorities to procure
from them city water. Milk and
butter produced at the college dairy
were eliminated from the diet Of the
students. ~
a minute and thorough investi-
CATION was then carried on to see If
in any way the infection might come
from other sources. This investi-
cation not pointing conclusively to
any specific source, the health Of
fcer reported the findings to the
chairman of the State board o.
health, who called meeting Of the
board on November 9 at Winthrop
college for the purpose Of studying
the situation and Of advising the
authorities what policy to pursue
under existing conditions.
The board, accompanied by DR..
j. R. Miller, representative of the
local boardS the college physicians,
Dr.. Boyd and DR.. Crawford, DR.. T..
w. Babcock of the State health Of
fee made a sanitary survey Of the
water supply, thorough investiga-
tion of the dairy, college buildings
and grounds. After this investiga-
tion the board, in session with the
gentlemen mentioned, discussed the
phase of the situation and made the
following statement:
after a study and discussion&of
the evidence collected from the inves-
tigation made, this body does not
feel that the situation is alarming.
While no specific source of infection
can. be definitely decided upon, it
is the opinion of the body that since
the Inauguration Of the precaution-.
ary measures which are now being
rigidly enforced the epidemic will
die out as soon as the period of In
cuhation has passed.

~
New York, November S.-To ar
que before the United State Su-
preme Court motion to advance the
appeal to that Court in the case Of
Albert T. Patrick, convicted of the
murder of William Marsh Rice in
this city eight years ago, William L..
Mcdonald, attorney for Patrick, left
tonight for Washington.
The motion is expected to come
up before the Supreme Court to-
morrow when Patrick;s counsel says
he will further ask the Suprme Court
for a writ of habeas corpus for the
production of Patrick in Washing
ton in order that he may argue his
case himself.
Patrick's appeal is to declare IL
legal the commutation granted him
by Governor Higgins whereby his
sentence to die in the electric chair
was changed 70 Imprisonment for
life. Patrick made the point that
life Imprisonment was much Sc
verer sentence than that which con-
demned him to die.

"The third bullet, which cor

Result of Conspiracy.
Both the Coopers and Senator Car
mack have many friends here and
throughout the State. Cooper $
statement is that the affair was
merely a street duel in which both
sides met anG both began firing.
The friends of the Coopers claim
they had tried to avoid a meeting
with Carmack, it is said, and they
were on the way to the State capitol
in response to a telephone message
from Governor Patterson when the
tragedy occurred and that Senate"
Carmack had been warned and WAS
expecting trouble.
Friends of Senator Carmaci
strenuously claim that the killing
was the result of a conspiracy, pure
and simple; that he was waylaid;
that when Senator Carmaci1 left The
rennessean office for his boarding
house the fact was telephone from 4
house near The Tenncssean office and
the Coopers notified that the senator
was on his way and to be on the
alert.
1t now develops. according to
friends of Mr.. Cramack, that ther,
was a third party with the Cocpers
just before the shooting, a former
county official who is close pcrSol l.
al friend of both the Coopers and
Patterson. Friends OF the deaf
senator indicate that there will h
sensational developments within the
next day or so regarding the al

Cotton Growers association. Gov.
Noel of Mississippi : also spoke.
Harvie Jordan was made espermanent
chairman. In an interview Mr.. Jor-
dan said the meeting wdpld be the
most important conference Of cotton
men ever held.
Mr.. Jordan said that. twas indeed
fitting that it should be- assembled
in this the largest interior cotton
market in the world. ?5
eve have assembled, he contin-
ued, "to safeguard and protect the
great staple crop of the South from
the artificial and depressing influence
of federated interests which operate
to the detriment of every business
interest in this section of America.
We face a serious condition and
whether we will arise equal to the
emergency and protect our interests
as men of brain and business sa-
gacity or indifferently accept. the sit.
uation and parade before the world
our voluntary weakness, Is the issue
which presents itself to this convel-
tion."
Mr.. Jordan said that raw cotton
is the only great staple commodity
in the world today which is selling
below the cost of production, not
withstanding the fact that it repre-
sents one of the worlds greatest ne
cessities.
THAT this great staple should
ever sell at a price to the cotton
growers of less than 10 cents per
pound is reflection upon the man
hood and intelligence of the South
ern people.
"If the cotton growers, bankers,
merchants and allied business inter-
ests of the South will determine that
the price of cotton must and shall
go back to 10 cents before the month
of November passes, that price will
be protected, the financial future of
the South will be saved and not 4

SOME HEROIC WORK
Surviving Passengers Prevent tho
Cremation of Victims Of a Terrible

New Orleans, Nov. lit was q

that paid for the errors Of railroad
employees when a Great Northern ex-
press crashed into the rear Of New
Orleans G. Northeastern local passen-
ger train shortly before o'clock this
morning at Little Woods, small sta
ton on the Lake Pontchartrain, IL
miles north of this city.
Eleven dead and many more in
jured, some of them fatally, is the
record of the wreck, which was at
tended by unusually gruesome scenes
in the fog-bound swamps. To add to
the horror Of the situation the work
of the surviving passengers prevent
ed the cremation of those pinned
down in the debris.
Between Slidell and New Orleans
the Great Northern trains run over
the tracks of the New Orleans Ss
Northeastern. A local train Of the
Northeastern from Hattiesburg, due
to arrive in New Orleans at $3.50
a. M, is followed by fast Great
Northern train from Covington.
scheduled to reach here at $40 a. m.
This morning the Northeastern
train was late and the difference
IF 20 minutes between the running
CT the trains was considerably re-
duced.
When Engineer Blackman Of the
Great Northern train took the North
eastern tracks at Slidell, he says, he
was given the usual right of way
signal and proceeded toward New
Orleans at a 45-mile an hour clip.
AS the station at Little Woods was
approached he discovered the North
eastern local, which suddenly LOOM
ed up out of the fog.
Fireman McCarty leaped from the
engine, but Blackman applied his
brakes and remained at the throttle
while the ponderous locomotive
ploughed its way through the train,
ahead, leaving behind it death and
destruction. 'Blackman crawled out
practically unscathed, while his fire
man sustained painful injuries in
his leap.
No one in the Great Northern ex-
press was seriously hurt, but those
aboard the Northeastern train were
not so fortunate. The nose Of the
big express engine tore its way en-
tirely through the two rear coaches
of the local and the crash of split
ting timber was followed by the
groans of those pinned down in this
wreckage.
A little golden-haired boy waved
his hands piteously above his head,
unable to extricate himself from the
wreckage. A score or more Of men,
some OF them stained with their OWE
blood, made heroic effort to rescue
the child, but in vain. This child
was Willie Attaway, 3-year-old SON
of Mrs Alphonse Attaway Of Slidell.
His little body was taken out of the
wreck several hours later, horribly
mutilated, and placed beside those
