CONGRESS PARTY
H5N0sS DELEGATE
Washington Surprised By
HaWaiianS Names
On Menu

The Washington Herald, Feb. :.
contains the following account of II
great banquet given by members of
Congress in honor of Delegate and
Princess Kalanianaole, the menu of
which was source of much wonder
10 the Washington people:
Aloha
In electric letters a foot high this
musical word of greeting from the
Hawaiian Islands flashed from the
wall of the banquet hall of the RAJ
leigh last evening, where'a gay COM
pany of men and women were gath
cred at a "Luau," or feast, in honor
Of Prince and Princess Kalanianaole,
Congressional delegate from Hawaii.
The hosts of the evening were the
members of the Congressional pa e.
that visited those tropic islands last
spring, and were entertained by the
Prince and Princess. In memory of
the royal time they had on that Wis
1t, for which they hold Prince aud
Princess Kalanianaole mainly re-
sponsible, these Congressman and
their wives determined to reciprocate
and the treaty of reciprocity surely
should have been signed at the close
of last nights function.
Members and Their Guests
There were sixty diners, members
of the party, and their guests OF
honor. There were no other guests,
and the dinner soon took on the APP
pearance of family gathering, such
had been the intimacy that had
grown between the members of the
party on their long voyage to the
tropics and return.
Successful efforts had been made
to lend a touch of tropical color to
the affair. The diners were assem-
bled in the anti-room, and marched
into the banquet hall to the barbaric
strains of a popular Indian" song.
The tables We're laid in the form OF
an "E, surrounded by palms, ana

casions, Originally in Hawaii there
were worn smiles and garlands. Last
evening there were smiles also, but
the garlands were worn over the con-
ventional black and white evening
dress of the men and tho dainty din
ner gowns of the women.
Senator and Mrs. S. II. Piles, of
Washington took places at the head
table with tho guests of honor. Rep
resentative Ralph d. Cole, of Ohio,
acted as POSTMASTER The other din

Taft will reconcile the intimacy of a
year ago with the bitterness of today
is hard to see. If Mr.. Hartman is a
bad man now he was no angel then.
The popular assault on Hartman
dates back two or three years. Mr..
ROOSEVELT knew what the public
thought of the great organizer who
was for a time one of his close adj
yisers.
We imagine that the Democratic
managers have the papers of the
Rooseyelt Hartman controversy
tucked away for future use; and if
Mr.. Roosevelt names his War Secrc-
tary as his successor they will fur

week paper the Bamberg Herald
says: "Our neighbor, the Orangeburg

ly. Friend Sims has long published
one of the very best weeklies in the
State, and there is no reason why ne

newspaper as o semi-weekly. He has
a fine county, and we believe he is
doing the right thing in publishing
twice a week. With the magnificent
rural service which that county has.
thanks to the efforts of Congressman

KILLED HIS RIVAL
One Negro Shoots Another About a
Woman.

The plantation of Mr.. ]. M. Green,
near Cope, was the scene of diff
Guilty between two negroes on last
Thursday which resulted in the death
Of one of the combatants and the
locking up of the other in Jail on the
charge of murder. The names of the
negroes is Johnson and Foures, both
quite young, and had been friends
before the trouble.
1t seems that both the boys were
paying attention and courting the
good will of the same dusky damsel,
who lived in the neighborhood. FL
nally the rivalry got so warm be-
tween the two boys that an open
rupture resulted, when johnson
promptly pulled out his pistol and
put his rival out of the way by shoot
ing him to death, which was certain
ly most effectual way of getting rid
Of him.
The ball from Johnson's pistol took
effect in Foures' neck, who died in a
few minutes, and Johnson'was taken
into custody and brought to this city
and lodged in Jail to await trial.
Court convenes here on Monday, and
it would be a good plan to give him
speedy trial, and, if proven guilty.
speedy hanging. Something must
be done to stop the murderous spicit
that seems to be prevalent.

Needs Checking Up.

titles the attention Of the Governor.
The treasurer, Mr.. John o. Ed
wards, is stated to be short over
$1,000, but this does not necessari-
" mean that the treasurer is guilty
of peculation, since the shortage
may be due to errors Of bookkeep-
ing. Mr.. Jones has telegram from

The auditor, Mr.. C. NJ. Virgins,
is reported for "grossest neglect and
carelessness," and the statements
made by the experts in regard to
the auditors books are very strong,
to say the least.

matter and has not announced his

The Facts in the Case.

The Times and Democrat presents
in this issue all of the most impor-
tant testimony in the Calhoun Coun-
ty Contest case. None of the testi-
mony taken before the County Board
Of Canvassers has been left out, ex-
,ept some that was of no importance
one way or the other. This is one of
Che greatest feats in the way OF news
gathering ever performed by coun-
try paper in this or any State, bur it
is only a precursor of what The
Times and. Democrat intend to do in
future. We are sure that this testi-
mony will be read with interest by all
It makes over sixteen columns, but
read it and learn for yourself how
the election was conducted. There is
some rich and racy evidence that
must be read to be appreciated.

Have Appealed.

Messrs. Bellinger & Welch, attor-
neys for the promoters of Calhoun
County, filed paper on Saturday
with the State Board of Canvassers
appealing from the decision OF the
County Board of Canvassers in the
Calhoun County matter. They claim
that the County Board erred in de-
claring the late election null and
void, and they ask that the State
Board of Canvassers set aside the de-
cision. 1t makes no difference how
the State Board may decide the mat
ter the case will go to the State Su-
preme Court for final settlement.

MISS SHANNON STILL MISSING.
Report That Pretty Brook1and Girl
:, Had Married Untrue. :.

A dispatch from Columbia to The
News and Courier says Miss Sallie
Shannon, the pretty Brookland girl
who left home Sunday afternoon,
has not yet been located. The re-
port from Pomaria that Miss Shan
non had married in that town on
Tuesday turns out to have been a
hoax, and her parents are more than
ever worried about their daughter.
Miss Shannon left her home Sun
day evening week after having en-
tertained her sweetheart, Colt Sum-
mers. They are said to have
parted in anger, and the last
seen of Miss Shannon was when she
started across the Gervais street
bridge towards the city of Column
bia.
The bridge keeper is positive that
she did not come across the bridge
that evening, and her friends fear
that she jumped into the river after
reaching the bridge.
The river Is badly swollen by the
recent rains, and no search has
been made for her body. The tele-
gram from Pomaria is now admit
ted to have been joke, and it is
denied that she has been in Pomaria
at all.
Miss Shannon is pretty girl of
10 years and popular teacher in
the Brookland Methodist Sunday
school. She is the daughter Of Mr..
D II. Shannon.

Big LOSS BY Fire.

About half-past nine o'clock on
Friday evening Mr.. j. j. Fairey, of
East Orange, discovered one of his
barns on fire on the upper part. In
the same lot were six other buildings
all of which with nearly all their con-
tents were destroyed. In addition to
the buildings, two of which were
three stories high. Mr.. Fairey lost
seven hundred bushels of corn, a
large quantity of fodder and hay,
besides other farm truck. Conser-
vative people estimate his loss at be-
tween three and four thousand dol
lars. There was no insurance on the
buildings or their contents, which
makes the whole thing a total loss.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr.,
Fairey on all sides.
