FREAK OF LIGHTNING.

Here is a puzzle for you," said
Judge L. r. Williams yesterday, as he
handed the reporter small, triangu-
lar. rattle basket. How did this come
about?"
The basket was triangular In
shape, and each side Of the triangle
was about three inches. 1t was little
more than an inch through. The top
was fastened with a piece of ribbon.
In either side Of the basket, one op-
posite the other, there was a small
round hole that was slightly blackened
on the edges and the bottom appeared
to be somewhat scorched.
IF you mean these holes" the re-
porter replied, they appear to have
been made by a bullet"
1T does look that way aSSented
Judge Williams, but you would have
been nearer right If you had said that
this was the work of the Good Mas
ter"
Then Judge Williams proceeded to
explain the mystery. The basket had
been used as a case for a gold watch,
and it's place was on mantelp1ece IN
the home of Mr.. Milton Jackson, who
lives four miles east of YOrkville. The
house was struck by lightning on
Wednesday about noon. The bolt
passed ALONG TIE VI 'iSN'
through second story window, tore
up Il bureau and knocked off some

the building.
The family was down stairs at the
time. and Mr.. John Jackson was
struck by a splinter: but was not
hurt. The other members of the fam
ily were more or less seriously shock
ed and Jared: but none of them sus-
tained any injury.
The peculiar mishap to the basket
was discovered only in tracing the
course of the bolt. The basket looked
as if it had been pierced by 5O-cali- :
bre rifle bullet from the outside, and
when the basket was opened it was
found that while the gold chain had
been cut or burned in twain, the watch
itself had not been injured. 1t was
still ticking away as if nothing had
happened.
Mr.. Milton Jackson, the owner of
the building had a policy in the Far
mers' Mutual, and Judge Williams
gathered the facts related. while help
ing to assess the damage.
The loss was not very considerable,
the damage to the furniture being
rather greater than that to the resi-

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- The state campaign is to be af-
ter the style Of a two ringed circus
this year The convention last we'd
nesday adopted an amendment to the
constitution to this effect as follows:
Before the election in 1908, and each
election thereafter, except as herein
provided. the state Democratic conf
mittee shall appoint and arrange FOR
two campaign meetings in each coun-
ty. to be held not less than two weeks
apart one Of which meetings shall DE
addressed only by candidates for state
offices. and the other only by candi-
dates for United States senator, United
States house of representatives and
circuit solicitor; provided that If any
election year there shall be but one
candidate for the office Of United
States Senator or no opposition for
state officers, the said committee may,
i'm its discretion, arrange or. appoint
only one meeting in each county"
- Columbia State: There was quite
a fight i'm the committee room on the
matter of adopting a resolution re-
questing the trustees and faculty OF
Clemson college to reinState the 300
Young men who were expelled. The
intention of the author, Mr.. w. A.
James, was not to interfere in any
way with the discipline or manage
ment at Clemson college, but as the
largest political body in the state to
advise the faculty of the sentiment OF
the people of the state. The resolu-
tiOns were finally rejected after sew
eral ballots, including tie votes, etc.
Mr.. James stated in the outset that
no reflection was intended to be cast
upon the Justice of the verdict or the
wisdom of the faculty, but the object
of the resolution was merely TO ap-
prise the faculty Of Clemson college
of the fact that these young men
have been punished sufficiently and
that to deprive them of further collie
giate training would do them a
wrong, irreparable and at the same
time unnecessary. The gentlemen on
on the other side Of the question, Mr..
John ]. McMahan. Mr.. Richard /.
Manning. Capt. w. w. SmOak and
others, argued with force that resOlu-
tions. even if merely in sympathy
with the dismissed cadets, might be
contrued to be more farreaching than
intended. The faculty and manage
ment could be made to understand
that the resolution was merely the
appeal for pardon submitted by
lawyer for his client, but the young
men themselves might think that as
there had been some kind of issue,
their side was sustained. The reSolu-
tiOns were not in the nature OF an
implied command, but yet 1t was con-
Sidered the part of wisdom to let the
college alone, for 1t was stated by
several members of the committee
that they had heard of efforts now

being made by the faculty to have
the men reinstated, and If some po-
litical body should step In and tnfiu-
ence them the action of the faculty
might not appear to be voluntary,
and for that reason the good work
might be spoiled. Capt Smoak re-
called a similar case. few years
ago 65 men were dismissed from the
South Carolina Military academy. He
had never heard Of any political con-
vention asking for the reinstatement
of these men. And yet the faculty
of the institution made 1t possible for
all of the men with the exception OF
one to go back and get the education
of which they would have been de-
prived. II the faculty Of Clemson
college is contemplating such a STEP
argued Capt Smoak, it would be so
much better for them to proceed un-
hampered. One of the delegates got
very much excited and inveighed Dit
terly against the "aliens" who are in
charge of Clemson college, but this
speech made no effect upon the men,
bers of the committee. There were
several efforts to patch up a resolu-
tion which would not be offensive and
could not possibly be construed In
that manner, but the resolution was
finally killed by vote Of % to II.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

An Associated Press dispatch of
last night from New York reviews the
developments in the speculative mar
ket yesterday as follows:
After a lower opening the cotton
market rallied and ruled very firm IN
in the late trading, the close being
firm at n net advance of II to ~
points Sales were estimated 3OO,0Oo
bales.
The market opened barely steady
at a decline of to 8 points In re-
Spouse to lower cables and during the
early session July sold at 9.46 ana
October at cents. There was a good
deal of buying by recent sellers on
the initial decline and the market
soon rallied. During the middle ses-
sion there was more or less nervous
ness and irregularity, but the market
showed a steady tone and just before
the close became very active ana
strong with July selling at 9.S2 and
October at 932 or 22 to 80 points net
higher. The close was at practically
the best point of the day. There were
rumors during the day that prom
inent Wall street operator had cover
ed short contracts in october, ana
was taking a fresh hold of the bull
side or the market anu lne du'SiiiSo
was also said to be encouraged by
private predictions of unsettled
weather over the weekend, although
the official weather map and fore
casts were not considered unfavor-
able. Some wires were received from
Fall River claiming that mills there
were going on full time in the near
future and generally speaking ad-
vices from dry goods districts were
more encouraging. Southern spot
markets were unchanged to 3-16 cent

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Declarations Adopted In Wednesdays
Convention.


Following is the platform of the
South Carolina Democrats as adopted
in the convention held in Columbia
last Wednesday:
We, the Democratic party of South
Carolina. in convention assembled,
reaffirm our faith in the fundamen-
tai and historic principles of the par
ty of Thomas Jefferson and call to
the nation To again put its trust in
the party of individual liberty and of
equal rights TO all and special priv
ilegeS to none
We favor the exercise by the gen.
eral government of all its cOnstitu-
tionaI authority for the prevention of
monopoly and for the regulation OF
Interstate commerce: we insist that
federal remedies shall be added to.
and not substituted for. state reme-
dies We denOunCe as revolutionary
the policy of the Republican party,
that the powers of the general gov
ernment should be extended by judi
Cial constructions.
\ private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable. We. therefore, IA
vor the vigorous enforcement of the
criminal law against trusts and trust
magnateS. and demand the enacting
of such additional legislation as may
be necessary to make it impossible
for a private monopoly to exist in the
United States.
We favor an immediate revision of
the tariff by the reduction of import
duties, and we denounce as hypo-
critical the promise of the Republl-
can party to enact such legislation at-
ter the elections. Articles entering
into competition with articles con-
trOlled by trusts should be placed
upon the free list; material reduc-
tionS should be made i'm the tariff
upon the mcCrSSarcS of life. our
present financial conditions show the
urgent necessity for Il more elastic
currency system.
The Democratic party Of the nation
should pledge the people that if plac
ed in power it will enact prompt but
conservative Legislation to relieve
present conditions.

lection there is the cast of a young
Indians head, which has attracted
much attention. This cast was made
recently from full-blooded young In
dian known as Wheelock, Of the tribe
of the Indians. In this is his romance,
for romance is often found. after all,
even in the natter -of-fact twentieth
century. When attending the Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa, he met a pref
ty Indian girl. Rosa Harris, the
daughter Of Chief Harris of the Ca
tawba Indians in South Carolina.
from the first he loved her, and when
she left the school, he followed to
claim her. to return to his old home.
And now they are living in Washing
ton, where he Is in business. 1t Is be-
cause he is so perfect a type of the
Indians of old that he was requested
to allow the cast to be made Of him
and placed in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
Mrs. Robertson, Of course, went to
see Rosa Harris, now Mrs. Wheelock,
in Washington, and the Indian girl
has become the agent, selling the pot
terry ware made by her own people in
South Carolina. Mrs. Robertson has
arranged a studio for her, where the
pottery will be sold and orders re-
ceiVed, and no doubt the demand for
the pretty ware will steadily increase
and the Catawba pottery soon be-
come quite a fad in Washington.

The Real Issue of the Campaign, De-
cIares Mr.. Bryan.

In an interview given out in Balti-
more Wednesday, William J. Bryan
declared his belief that President
Roosevelt will not be named at Chi
cago and that he would not press state
ownership of railroads as an issue.
Il nave announced my Willingness

for president. if ii is rendered to me,
said Mr.. Bryan.
The Democratic voters themselves

willing to be Il candidate. 1t rests
with the voters"
"Win you attend the convcntion?'
"No. ! shall remain at home. | am

candidate for preSident?'
1T will. assuming that the national

ter the campaign with excellent pros
poets of success.
and state ownership of railroads be
prominent in the campaign"
This is not pressing issue. and

railroad rates" said Mr.. Bryan with
emphasis and determination.
