DEMOCRATS REGISTER.
An Urgent Appeal From State chair
man Willie Jones.

Gen. Willie Jones, Democratic State
Chairman, Wednesday issued the
following address:
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina:
Fellow Democrats: In view Of the
great Indifference which seems to ex-
ist among the Democrats of this
state as to registring under the new
law requiring all voters to register
this year, I feel it to be my duty as
your chairman to address you in this
public manner, and urge you to go
to your county seats at once and re-
g.ster. There is no doubt about the
fact that the negroes are registering
in great numbers in some counties
and if the Democrats do not register
they cannot vote in the general cleo
ton in November next, and some of
oar congressman may be defeated.
The electoral ticket of this state may
also be endangered by the failure of
the Democrats to register The
time expires September 1st, 1908, and
after that it will be impossible to be
registered. We have heard of late
various threats that our representa-
ton in congress would be reduced
by Republican congress on account
electoral ticket and also for our con-
election. All indications now are
that the next house Of representa-
tives will be very close, and the past
history of the Republican party prov
es that that party will stop at moth
ing to count in a working majority.
Now, fellow Democrats, do not al
low this serious charge to be made
against you, but go Immediately
and register, and be prepared to roll
up a big majority for the Democratic
electoral ticket and ais ofor our con-
gressional nominees. The Democra-
tic county chairman throughout the
state are urged to earnestly request
the Democrats in their respective
counties to attend to this important
matter at once and to use their best
efforts to get them out immediately,
as the time expires for registration
September /, 1908.
Very re:pectfullY.
Willie Jones, Chairman.

TWO KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Electric Bolt Plays Strange Franks
in New Jersey Home.

Two persons were killed ard two
others severely injured by lightning
during a severe electrical! storm that
swept over Eastern Pennsylvania
and New Jersey Friday, causing
much havoc.
Robert Heimbach, farmer, was
struck and instantly killed, nea!
the fields, and Walter Cattell, aged
Lewisburg, Pa, while working in
the ffds, and .-KValtrr- Catteli. aged
II years, was struck and killed,
near Glassboro, N. j.
His sister, Mabel, and Rebecca
Turner, were also struck and severe
ly injured. the latter being in a
serious condition. Cattell, his Sis
ter and Miss Turner were seated un-
der a shed watching the lightning
when a bolt hit the peak of the
shed, where they wree sitting.
The lightning broke the legs on
the chairs and rendered the trio un-
conscious. The charge passed down
Cattell's back and he was dead
when picked up. The shoes were
ripped from the feet of his sister,
but she recovered consciousness af-
ter short time, and is seriously i'll
from the shock. One corner of the
Cattell home was torn out of the
building by the lightning.
Buildings of all sort were struck
in various sections and destroyed,
and many districts suffered from
flooding. Philadelphia, IN connection
with the storm, was pelted by one
of the most severe alls of hail thai
has occurred in a number of years.

Taft Makes n Speech to n PhonOgraph

The use of a phonogarph by Candi-
date Taft as a means for dissemina-
ton of his speeches, as reported in
the dispatches from Hot Springs.
Va, excited the liveliest interest OF
w. ]. Bryan, SO much as that he gave
out the following statement in re-
gard to it.
"The republican papers have been
making fun of me for using the
phonograph as a means of reaching
the public, but since the republican
candidate has followed my example
1 presume that the criticism will
cease and that this will now be re-
graded as dignified method Of dis
cussing public questions.
1T looks as If the democrats were
going to have a hard time this year
protecting their patents from in
fringement. The republicans seems
to be bent upon Initiating not only
our platform. but our campaign me-
thods. There is, however, some ad-
vantage in the fact that We are set
ting the pattern this year"

Hydrophobia Developed. and Wof fnnn

Haunted by Terrifying Vision.

Haunted during her late hours
by terrifying vision of the white
cat that had attacked her a month
before her death and inoculated her
with the germs of hydrophobia, Mrs.

home in Baldwin, L. l., after, in her

business with a deliberation and
courage equal almost to that. dis

of Brooklyn, who died of rabies after
twenty-four hours before the end.

The horror of the situation was
increased, to her husband and
friends, by ner repeated supplica-

enough for several hours before her
death she was conscious and calm
She directed the disposal Of her eff
fects and then kissed her husband
farewell during these lucid inter-
veals.
Mrs. Trumbull about amonth ago,
while alone and fondling cat, which
she had owned for years, was attack
ed by it. The animal leaped at her
throat, missing it., and for part Of
a second clung to the woman with
it's teeth buried in her nose. When
Mrs Trumbull had torn the animal
away from her it raced through the
cottage, slayering and snarling.
The woman drove the animal out
doors finally and WIN her husband
returned that evening told him
what had happened. He assumed
at once that the cat was mad, but
did not tell Mrs. Trumbull, for fear
of alarming her. Mr.. Trumbull ran
across the cat several days later and
killed it. No symptoms Of danger
from the cats bite developed until
two weeks ago, when Mrs. TrumbuII

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
True Bill Found Against Man For
Crme Committed Years Ago.

Quite a sensation has been sprung
| in Saluda county by the solicitors
handing out an indictment charging
Pope B. Havird, white with murder
and the grand jury's returning a
true bill.
Some 10 years ago negro nam
ed Tom Scurry, Lying with Harvird,
very suddenly and mysteriously dis
appeared and he has never been seen
or heard of since. Recently rumor
gained currency that Havird split
Scurry's head open with an axe while
they were splitting rails and covered
the body with brush an dlogs and
burned it. This rumor coming to
the ears of Solicitor Zimmerman, he
made an investigation, with the re-
suit that he was satisfied there was
enough in the report to justify him
in handing out an indictment for
murder and the grand jury evident
ly thinks there is enough testimony
to warrant a trial Of the case.
A bench warrant has been issued
for Hayird and he is expected to be
apprehended at once.
1t seems that several now claim to
have known Of Favird's killing the
negro at the time it was done, but
they have kept it a secret lal these
years until recently, when there was
a falling on among them and Havird
and the parties who say they have
known of the murder all the time
began to whisper it first to one and
then to another until the report
gained general circulation.
The reason they assign for Havird's
killing the negro is that Hrviad's
barn was burned and he charged
Scurry with firing it.
Havird is the young white man who
was shot few years ago by John
Yarbrough in such a manner that
one Of his arms had to be amputat-
ed.

WILL CRAFTY AMBITION.
Edison To Give Himself Rowing
Commission Into Science.

Thomas A. Edison has begun to
crafty an ambition he has cherish
ed many years, and the laboratory
at Llewellyn, N. Y. will see.. COM
paratively little of him henceforth.
Mr.. Edison's ambition has been
to give himself rowing commission
into pure science and to steer clear
of commercialism. He does not
want to increase his fortune. He
has got s35,O00,0O0, which he
thinks is more than enough. All his
life he has been turning out money
making inventions He will devote
his remaining years to investigate
anything that strikes his fancy with
out regard to its financial produc-
tiveness.
1t is learned that the man who
has achieved so many marvels In
electricity has greater love for
chemistry than electricity. Chemis-
try was the first science to captivae
his wonderful intellect but he mas
never had chance to dig as deep
into it's mysteries as he wanted to-.
Now he proposes to give himself
the chance. Moreover he is going
to take life more easily.
He has promised his family and
his friends to give up Shaving night
and day, Sundays and holidays in
his labortory. Not only that but he
is going to take jaunts about and
see something of the rest of the
world. He has bought himself a
place in Florida where he will spend
a couple of months in the late win
ter and early spring next year.
Toward the end of this month he
is going with his wife on month S
trip to the Pacific coast. He will
stay more than a month if the fancy
strikes him. Monday, instead OF be-
ing in his laboratory, he was fun
making with some friends down on
Long Island where he went on FIJI
day to spend three days.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa,
says Daniel Slattery, a young chauf-
feur of the East End district, who
has been motoring for many rich
families, on Monday eloped with
Miss Madeline zeigler, only daughter
of Mrs. Margaret Zeigler, one Of the
rich East End society women, for
whom Slattery had often driven an
automobile.
Slattery and Miss .MadelinL went
in a hurry on finding that Mrs.
Zeigler had employed detectives to
look up his record. Mrs. Zeigler
had two warrants issued for the
chauffeur's arrest on Charges which
she asserts were trumped up, and
when he met Miss Madeline in the
afternoon, he told her of his troubles
and suggested that they go imme-
diately. He pushed Miss Zeigler
into the first automobile he saw
standing in the street and fled to
West Virginia, where they were
married. They returned the next
day.
Eddie Ball, the bicycle rider,
whose machine it was they had bro
rowed" in the meantime, had a war
rant issued, not knowing it was
Slattery, who is his friend. On
learning that it was an elopment OF
his friend, Ball had the warrant can
