SELLS LESS BOOZE.
Dispensary Receipts Fall Of Very
Materially.

Dispensary sales in Orangeburg and
Calhoun counties continue to decrease
as the weather gets warmer, or, per-
haps, the falling off Is due to the
spreading of the prohibition wave,
which, it is predicted by some who
claim to know, will have the entire
Stale in its grasp by the time the
next General Assembly convenes.
Prohibition is as confidently eX-
pected as was the repeal of the lien
law before the last session OF the
Legislature, but the lien law is still
on the statute books of South Caro-
lima.
Liquor sales in the two counties
for May were $14.51S.20, as COM
pared with S15,577.70 for April, and
the April figures we're about $4,000
behind those of March, which shows
a steady decrease for several months,
The sales in this city for May were
S6,29S.45, against $6,941.30 for
April.
Should the Supreme Court decide
that Calhoun County is dry and pro-
hihit the Orangeburg County board
from shipping liquors into Calhoun
the sales from this county's central
or wholesale, dispensary will he still
further diminished to the extent OF
about $4,000 per month.

THE FIRST VICTIM
Caught iP the Underto,v and Drown
ed Mt Tybee.

The treacherous tides of Tybee
Beach have claimed their first vic
tim early this season. Fritz Sch
walb, a young man about 19 years
cf age, was crowned there SUNDAY
afternoon VILE enjoying a su:: bath.
He and a companion went into the
surf late in the afternoon when the
tide was going out at a great rate OF
speed. The young man got into the
undertow and before he realized his
danger he was being carried out to
sea. When he found that he was III
danger of drowning he grabbed his
companion by his bathing suit and
clung to him with desperation writ
ten upon mis- face.
Mr.. John Seigers, who was with
the victim of the surf, came near be-
ing carried down with him and only
wrenched himself from the grasp of
the drowning man by the greatest
effort. His clothes were partly torn
from his back before he succeeded
in breaking the young mans hold.
After that he did all he could to
save him. but was unsuccessful.
There were several people in bath
ing at the time and there were large
crowds on the beach. but the drown
ing did not create great deal of eX-
citement in any part of the island ex-
cept in the immediate vicinity in
which it occurred. The body of the
young man was carried out 10 sea.

ONLY A SOCIAL CALL.
MR.. AND. MRS. WATTERsoN
y VISITS THE BRYANS.
The Great Kentuckian Says Bryan's
Nomination by Acclamation at Den
yer is Now Certain.

A dispatch from Louisville, KY,
says Editor Watterson, accompanied
by Mrs. Watterson, is on the way to
Lincoln, Neb., on invitation of Mr.
Bryan.
1t can be stated with certainty
that Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Watterson
have been In constant correspond
ence since the two came together in
New York two months ago.
Mr.. Watterson was asked for an
expression of opinion on the outlook,
and in substance, said:
81 am merely going to avail my
self of business call to Chicago to
accept Mr.. Bryan's invitation to run
over to Lincoln. There will be but
one real issue in the coming struggle.
That is the case of the people against
predatory wealth. 1t has been very
well put by Mr.. Roosevelt; but Mr.,
Bryan, more than any one else, rep
resents it in all its length, breadth,
and thickness.
"If Mr.. Roosevelt we're the candi-
date of the Republicans. there might
be some question as to, the original
Jacobs between him and Mr.. Bryan,
But Mr.. Taft can stand on no plat
form setting forth the Roosevelt poll
cies. He is far closer to the Wall
street interests than Fairbanks,
Hughes or Knox. His nomination
means the Republican party wearing
the mask of Roosevelt, but using the
claws of Hartman, Morgan and COM
pany. If Bryan cannot beat this
combine, nobody can. He is its
logical candidate. All suggestions
to the contrary are misleading. They
are simply weak devices of the enc
my"
"You feel certain that Mr.. Bryan's
nomination is already assured?'
"Mr. Bryan said Mr.. Watterson,
"will be nominated by acclamation
at Denver. The only things left out
standing to be considered by Demo
Gratis are the second place on the tic
ket, the platform, and the chairman
ship of the national committee.
Asked about the coming conven-
tion and the general outlook for
Kentucky can be relied upon not to
wreck their bark before she gets out
of port. | do not care what the
Lexington convention does except
that it shows itself fair to all parties
This | fully appreciate. We Ken
lucky Democrats are pretty gooo
fighters, but in emergencies we know
how to sit down in unity, and to
smoke the pipe Of peace. This is an
emergency"

GOV. HEYWARD VERY SICK
Has Announced Withdrawal from
Senatorial Race.


The Columbia State says it has
been known to his most intimate
friends for two or three weeks that
Gov. Heyward's health was in pre-
carious condition. The condition,
however, was not considered serious
by any other than his immediate
family and his physician until after
his trip to Georgia last week.
It was hoped that this trip would
entirely restore him. but it failed to
do so. On his return from Georgia
his condition was found to, be seri-
Gus, so much so that his physicians
have been insisting for several days
on taking him to a sanitorium. He
has. however, strenuously fought
this idea.
For several days he has been con-
fined to his bed and his condition
has grown so much worse that it has
been found imperative that he go
away at once for treatment.
Gov. Hayward was too i'll to be
seen Wednesday, Dut IL was SldIeu oii
his behalf that he will not be can
didate for the senate since his physl-
clans, Drs. Mcintosh and Guerry,
enter the campaign.
While it is hoped that rest and
treatment will completely restore
him to health, his physicians state
that he will be unable to return home
or to engage in any active work
within less than three months or
more.
1t is understood that Gov. Hey
ward will leave Thursday morning
for the Philadelphia Orthopaedic
hospital, accompanied by DR.. NC

THREE sPARTANBURG INsUR'
ANCE COMPANIES IN BAD SHAPE.
All the Profits Eaten Up by the Ex-
penses, Which Was Mostly High
Salaries.

According to a statement of In
'surance Commissioner McMaster
Tuesday, the affairs of three mutual
fire companies at Spartanburg are in
volved and on the face of the re-
turns it looks as if there has been
mismanagement of the funds.
In the case of the Carolina Mutual
under control OF Stanyarne Wflsoi
outstanded contested claims on July
1, 1907 amounted to s9,367, and
adjusted claims on the same date to
S35,S97. The amount that should
have been realized was S18,848, and
the actual amount realized S10,667.
Contested claims on January 1, 1909
amounted to sz3,374 and additional
adjusted claims to S11,871. The
account that should have been realiz-
ed was S10,52S and the actual
amount realized S5,4S5. The amount
of outstanding claims on May 25,
was s39,437.
An examination of the Carolina
Mutual's books shows that between
January 1, 1907, and June 6, 1908
S69,342 were collected from ali
sources. Losses in that period were
S3S,464. The difference between the
amount received and that paid out
in losses excepting 1891 was consum-
eG in expenses which were extraor-
dinarily high. Mr.. McMaster shows
where Wilson received a salary OF
$500 a month through 1907 and up
to March Of the current year. After
he resigned as president he got 5000
a month as attorney. He also took
$1,000 for back salary in 1905-06
Up to November J. M. Whatley re-
ceived $1O0 month and expenses as
adjuster and since then $125 a
month and expenses. In March
Whatley succeeded Wilson as presi-
dent. The secretary, Miss D. Gala
han, drew $1,000 in salary for 1907
Wilson's stenographer, Miss M. Full
mer, drew SIS week as assistant
secretary
"A. M. Alexander manages the Pied
mont Mutual and Palmetto Mutual
at Spartanburg. No minutes Of the
Piedmont have been kept since May
6, 1907. At that meeting the direc-
tors were A. NJ. Alexander. D. B.
Alexander, w. G. Barnes and Dr.. Fl.
B. Goodell No ledger nor cash
books were kept, policy records be-
ing the only account obtainable. Mr..
McMaster declares it is impossible TO
find out how, why and where the
money were expended and Alexander
can not say definitely. D. B. AleXan-
der drew 500 a month and expenses
as adjuster, and A. w. Whitlock SIS
week as secretary Other items
of expense can not he given at this
time.
Judgments are on file in the Of
flee of the clerk of court at Spartan
burg against both the Piedmont Mu"
tual and the Palmetto Mutual. The

KILLED HIS WIFE, AND HIMSELF
They Had Quarreled Several Times on
Account of Jealousy.

Charles P. Corlett, a prominent
architect and head Of the Corlett En-
gineering company, Tuesday night
killed his wife, Elizabeth, and then
ended his own life in hotel in Will
loughby, a Cleveland, Ohio, suberb.
The double tragedy is said to have
been the result Of jealousy.
Shortly after Corlett returned from
Cleveland, three shots were heard by
the guests. When the horel proprle-
tor burst into the door he found Mrs.
Corlett dead upon the floor Near
by was the almost breathless BODY
Of her husband. A revolver lay near
his outstretched hand. The man
died a few minutes later.

CUT AT CHURCH DOOR
PRIEST STABBED WHILE SHAK-
ING HANDS IN CHURCH.
Attack on Pastor Created Panic in
Missouri, and Two More Were Slash
ed by Wealthy Farmer.
Missouri, and

church at Salisbury, Mo-, shaking
hands with the departing members
of his congregation, the Rev. Father
Joseph F. Lubeley was twice stabbed
by Joseph Schuette, a prosperous
farmer and one of the most promin-
ent members of his congregation.
One Of the knife thrusts made deep
wound in the priests temple and the
other cut his neck less than a half
inch from the jugular vein. The
priest was hurried to hospital where
it was stated he has a fighting chance
for recovery.
Created a Panic.
The stabbing of the priest caused
panic among the men and women
who were filing out of the church, as
practically all Of them knew Schuette
and the members Of his family, who
were standing close by when the far
mer whipped out bis long knife. His
wife and. five children reached the
door in time to see a dozen men sit
ting on the raving man, trying to
subdue him. 1t is evident that the
farmer became suddenly insane, as
he had no reason for his attack on
the nrjest, and in addition had been
acting queerly for a few days previ-
ous.
The police of Salisbury also are
convinced Schuette is insane. He
has been raving almost constantly
since he was locked up. Later he
was sent to sanitarium until he
RECEIVERS his reason.
Attacked From Behind.
The priest had finished his mass
and had walked to the door Of the
church to shake hands with the
members of his parish as they left
the building. There were about 400
worshipers present and they were
headed toward the door in small
groups! Father Lubley was shaking
hands with a woman when Schuette
came up from behind. In his hand
there was a sharp knife and just as
the priest dropped the hand of the
woman he felt sharp cut on the
forehead. With an exclamation Of
pain Father Lubley turned around
and as he did so the knife made a
deep woundgin his neck. The priest
reeled and fell to the floor, blood
streaming from his wounds. The
members of the congregation seemed
stunned for moment and then wo-
men screamed hysterically and rush
ed hastily to the street. ~
Most OF the men also seemed be
wildered but about dozen of the
worshipers grappled with Schuette.
He struck out wildly with his knife
and cut the hand of Mrs. Barbara
Binter, who was trying to pass
through the door. John Gates, one
of those who overpowered the far
mer, was slashed on the elbow.
Schuette was one Of the wealthiest
farmers of Salisbury. One Of his
daughters was chum of Father Lub-
eley's cousin, who lived with the
priest. The two young women visit
ed each other frequently, and Father
Lubeley also dined often In the home
of the man who stabbed him.
