TAFT AND TILLMAN.
Senator Undertakes to Beat Presi-
dent-Elect to FRAGILE.

On the same Pullman car that
brought President-elect Taft to Au-
gusta, Senator Ben Tillman, of South
Carolina, rode as far as Trenton.
The ''pitchfork statesman" and
the president-elect were engaged IN
a long and most animated conversa-
ton. Senator Tillman remarked that
during Mr.. Taft's sojourn in Augusta
he would probably visit him at the
Terrett cottage.
Whereupon the president-elect
hastened to press upon his prospec-
tive guest a most urgent invitation,
and inquired if Mr.. Tillman played
golf.
'sNaw," replied the pitchfork SEN
ator in a tone which indicated more
strongly than words his contempt Tor
the "sport of kings "but III beat
you to a frazzle at town ball, knux
or shinney." >,
Mr.. Taft laughed uproariously. IT
had not occurred to him that Sena-
tor Tillman was unfamiliar with
golf, and he was highly amused al
the frank manner in which the Caro-
linian disclaimed any knowledge Of
a game that is presumably one OF
the insignia of wealth and social po
sition.

Tried to Assault Young Lady.

Orangeburg, S. c., Dec. 26.-Ac-
eording to advices received at this
place Thursday, John Gholson, a
well known white man Of this
county, is alleged to have attempted
an assault on Miss Bruner, II years
old, the young lady being employed
at the telephone exchange at st. Mat
thews, a town some IA miles from
this city.
Gholson is alleged to have been
drunken at the time, and there is a
report that there was violence
threatened on the part Of the young
men Of the town. Gholson is the
father of 10 children.
Miss Angie Bruner, the young
lady upon whom the assault was at
tempted, is of one of the best fami-
lies in this section, and the report is
a great shock.
Gholson has been taken in charge
and is now in Jail.

Grief i'm Walterboro.

There is sorrow in Walterboro to-
day. In fact, the grief has lasted
two or three days and will continue
until the Christmas holidays are
over. The mayor of Walterboro or
dered the dispensary in that town
closed the other day. There was lit
tie notice given. The mayor acted
under the section of the Carey-Cotn-
ran law authorizing the, governor or
the mayors or intendants of cities
and towns to close dispensaries
whenever it was deemed necessary in
the interest of good order. The
mayor of Walterboro thought that it
would be best to close the institu-
ton and closed it.
Then there came storm OF pro-
test. One of the members OF the
county dispensary board called up
Gov. Ansel and asked for relief. The
county was dry and getting dryer.
The governor quoted the law and in
timated that he rather approved OF
the action of the mayor. 1t prevent
ed the usual Christmas drunkenness,
and as a matter of fact the mayor
had a perfect right to do this. So the
lid is still on.
It will be recalled that several
months ago an effort was made to
secure a vote on the dispensary ques-
ton in Colleton county, but, on &C
count of defect of the law provid-
ing for this election, the matter was
never placed before the people.
Since then there has been consider
able feeling in the matter.-The
State, Friday, December 25th.

BAIL DENIED COOPERS.
Men Accused of Carmack Murder
Refused Bond.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 2s.-Col.
Duncan B. Cooper, his son, Robin ].
Cooper, and ex-Sherif John D:
Sharp, charged with the murder OF
ex-senator E. W. Carmack, we're to-
Gay denied bail and will remain in
Jail until January 20, the date set for
their trial. In refusing the applica-
ton of defendants for bail, Judge
Hart said:
Il have given this case careful
consideration and am Of the opinion
that it is not bailable case; there
ore decline to allow bail as to any
of the defendants and deny the ap-
plication."
Most of the counsel for the defense
seemed stunned at first by the ruling
of the court and each sat stock still
for a moment following the rendition
of the brief opinion.
The prisoners were conducted back
to jail to await their trial on Janu-
ary 20.

SOME QUEER SENTENCES.
Administrators Of Justice Sometimes
Are Unconsciously Funny.


ITO make the punishment fit the
crime" as Gilbert wrote, should be
the ambition of all those in whose
hands rests the administration OF
Justice, says a writer in Pearson's S
Weekly.
Law, unfortunately, interferes
sadly with the desires of just-minded
people, but now and then one hears
of an individual with sufficient good
sense or strength Of mind to decree a
fit and appropriate punishment
For instance, at Geneva, two small
boys were charged with stealing
from a shop, and were found guilty.
Said the magistrate: Il am not
going to send you to prison. 1 de-
cree that you shall attend Sunday
school every Sunday for the next
fifty-two Sundays, and I make your
parents responsible for the sentence
being duly carried out"
At Denver, Col, when tipsy man
is brought into the police station, he
is propped up against the wall and at
once photographed. Next morning
when he is sober, he is shown the
picture, and they say it is quite sur
prising how many absolute cures
have been effected by this simple
proceeding.
An Italian swindler, Lupo Saliva
tore by name, was recently found
guilty upon no fewer than sixty
three separate charges, and received
a sentence of three years imprison-
ment on each. He is hardly likely
to survive 1S9 years in an Italian
prison.
A railway company, the Northeast
ern, took an odd method Of punish
ing a passenger who refused to leave
a saloon carriage when he had only
an ordinary third-class ticket. They
took the carriage off, backed 1t into
a siding and left it there.
The passenger sued for damages
for loss of time, but, though he failed
to recover, the Judge refused to give
the company costs. He said they
should have locked the carriage II 1t
was to be reserved.
A punishment which got the per-
petrators into serious trouble con-
cerned a boy of ~ and pot of green
paint. The boy, who ran errands for
a Battersea grocer, did something
which annoyed his employer, who
stripped him and painted him green.
The boy nearly died, and the grocer
was very heavily fined.

FARMER KILLS HIMSELF.
Because He Did Not Have Money to
Buy Toys.

Quitman, Ca, December 25.-Be-
cause he did not have money enough
to provide the usual Christmas toys
for his children G. A. casters, a
farmer, near here, deliberately plan
ned his own death this morning and
died as he had planned.
Leaving the home where the chill
dren were he walked a short distance
away, fitted his shotgun over a FORK
ed stick, pressed his breast against
the muzzle and pushed tB trigger
with a stick. The wound was ter
rible one. His wife and several small
children ran out at the sound OF the
shot and found the husband and
father dead.

Boy Shot by Brother.

Union, Dec. 23.-A most distress
ing accident occurred this afternoon
in South Union, when Willie, the 4
year-old son of Policeman J. R. Pet
tv. was accidentally shot by his l3-
vear-old brother, Lonnie Petty, and
is not expected to live.
1t seems that the boys were play
ing with % calibre rife which went
off, the ball entering the little fel-
lows stomach and inf1icting such
wound that though Drs. Montgomery
and S. G. Sarrett were quickly sum-
moned and gave careful attention.
they fear that he cannot recover.

Fewer Topers in Alabama.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. .2S.-F1g-
ures on the internal revenue recelpts
show a decided falling off in Ala
bama during the year just closed,
largely due to prohibition. The to.
tai collections in Alabama for 1907
were s433,6S8.40, and for l9oS
s149,196.6S.
The figures for the last three days
of the present month were estlmat-
ed by Collector Thompson.
The whiskey revenue in the State
for the past three years was: 1906
O00.O7; 1907, $4,000; 1908, Sl5,-

Ten Laborers Killed.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 28.-Two
dead bodies have been recovered and
eight more are known to be buried
in an immense cave-ir of trench at
the blast furnace plant at Ensley
early tonight. Several other labor
ers we're injured, as also were two
foremen who we're experimenting
the work. Most of the dead were
foreigners.
The .acave-in occurred without
warning and the bodies are being re-
covered with difficulty because of
the large amount of gas which is
pouring into the excavation from the
furnace.
The men were working in a large
trench about eight feet below the
surface. They were excavating for
the gas flue which is to connect the
blast furnaces with the new battery
of boilers which is to run the plant.
The end of the old gas flue, which
extends the full length of the fur
mace plant, had been temporarily
bricked up while the laborers were
at work on the extension.
Mechanical carriers were used to
take away the dirt excavated and
when a carrier broke tonight a
beam fell on the cement wall which
formed one side of the trench the
men were digging. The entire wall
toppled over on the men and with it
tons Of loose earth which had been
held up by the retaining wall.
When the wall fell it broke down
the brick work at the end of the big
fourfoot gas main and immense
quantities of gas were poured in
upon the entombed men.

TAG DAY A SUCCESS
$435 is Secured by the Commit.
tee in Charge Of Providing
Public Play Grounds
START WORK IN THE SPRING

The women in charge Of the Tag
Day celebration on Saturday have not
as yet completed the work of auditing
all the accounts Of the collectors, but
it is thought that the fund collected
during the day will reach the $435
mark.
The amount of the collections was a
disappointment to some Of the ladies
who had been actively connected with
the collection of the fund.- but notwith-
standing this fact the sum realized in
this unique manner will be sufficient
to do considerable work in arranging
for play grounds for the coming spring
and summer. When the workers finish
ed their work on Saturday evening
1898 in cash had been turned over to
the treasurer of the fund, but there
were still some boxes to be heard from
and several checks Of a substantial
nature are still expected. The fund
will be placed in bank for the use Of
the committee in charge of the play
grounds and a portion Of it will be
spent for equipment and the remainder
to employ some Of the teachers of the
city schools to take charge of the play
grounds durings the vacation season.
For the present the committee will
see to having the grounds about
the Gillett and Frank schools ar
ranged for the uses Of the children
and later they will seek to get money
for the equipment of other school
grounds. The present plans will pro.
vide play ground ON the north and
west sides Of the city,
1t is probable that the ladies who
have charge of tag day will arrange for
some other entertainments to secure
funds for the promotion of the work
of providing play grounds for tn child
rem.
The gifts on Saturday were mostly
in small amounts and the largest con
tribution reported did not go over $12.
However, it is thought that before the
treasurer renders her final report some
checks will be received which will be
larger than these contributions.

TO FIX NEW ROUTES.
Postmaster MaIoney Is Busy on
Plans for New Carrier Dist.
riots in the City
DISTRICTS WILL BE WIDER

Postmaster John B. Maloney has be-
gun the work of outlining the new
postal carrier districts for the city
and he is hopeful Of a arrangement
Of the routes of the carriers before
the end Of the present year. The pre-
hminary work that has been done indi-
Gates that it will be necessary to add
at least one and possibly two carriers
to the force and as Kenosha is now
second class office it is not thought that
there be any trouble in getting the
help needed to take care Of the new
districts. At the present time there
are twelve carrier districts and it is
certain that one will be added to take
care of the Rice district which has pc
titioned for special delivery Tn this
district the sidewalks demanded by
the government have all been put in
and it is not thought that the govern
men5 will deny the. request of the PEG
pie living in that part Of the city.
Postmaster Maloney stated this morn
ing that there were more than thous-
and people in the city now asking for
free delivery and that the number was
decidedly large for a town of this
size.
In addition to the large number of
requests from people who have not
been on the delivery routes there are
many complaints from people on the
old routes on account Of the service.
This is no fault of the carriers as in
some cases the routes are so long that
it is impossible for them to make them
when the mail is heavy.
Inspector Bird who is in charge of
this district has been in the city in the
past few weeks looking over conditions
and it is pretty certain that he will
be willing to second the demand of
the postmaster for an increased carrier
force. Many of the people Of the city
appealed directly to the post Office de-
partment for an extension of the car
rier districts and the Inspector has
been sent here to look into the Justice
Of their demands and confer with the
postmaster in regard to the proposed
extensions. However, the work of ar
ranging the new route will be left en-
tirely to the postmaster.
There have been large additions to
the city on both the north and west
sides and nearly all of this territory is
entitled to free delivery. 1t is not
at the present time included in any of
the rural routes and as it is within the
corporate limits Of the city it will be
necessary for the delivery to be city
delivery.
It will probably take several weeks
to make the changes in the routes nee
essary, but Postmaster Maloney is
hopeful that all of this work can be
done so as to give the carriers chance
to get to work the first of the new
year.

County Board Makes Expected
Cut in Bills Presented by
Coroner for Inquests
QUESTION DEPUTY'SLEGALtTY
Committee May Refuse to Allow ANY
Bills for Work Done by Deputy
Thompson on Grounds That He
Had no Right to Act

The expected happened at the ses-
sion OF the County Board this morning
when the special committee on coro4
ner S bills brought in it's first batch
OF bills and if the amount allowed on
these bills is to be taken as an indi-
cation of the amount to be allowed
on all bills presented the bills of the
coroner will be reduced in the neigh
borhood of fifty per cent. But eight
bills were reported this morning and
four of them were allowed at the
figure named by the coroner while the
others were slashed to much lower
amounts. The committee which is
headed by w. V. Gull, Jr., Of Brighton,
has taken the matter up with the dis
trict attorney and it is generally be-
lieved that the ruling of the commit
tees on the bills Will be upheld by the
courts. In cutting the bills the com
mlttee has made a regular rule not to
allow the coroner any fees in holding a
post mortem on the same day that he
has presented bill for services as
coroner. This Of course made a great
reduction as in many cases the charge
for the post norton was as high as
$50. The committee also cut all claims
for livery holding that the coroner and
the Jurors were allowed mileage and
that it was up to them to pay for their
own transportation. In the bills few
c1nrical nprOrc 1roro fo,nJ IL; 81 -:
some cases resulted in increases in the
amount of fees due to jurors and wit
nesses.
The most important question that
has been raised in the committee is
in regard to the legality Of the ap-
pointment of DR.. George E. Thompson
as deputy coroner. It is claimed by
the committee that the law does not
give the coroner any power to make a
deputy and that the committee can not
see why all claims for inquests held
by DR.. Thompson should not be refus~
ed payment. There is a grave ques-
ton in the minds of the committee as
to whether any of these inquests were
legal and this afternoon the commit
tee is taking up this question with the
district attorney. The members of the
committee hold that the law provides
specifically that inquests may be held
by the coroner or any justice of the
peace and that under this law all of
the justices are practically deputies
of the coroner and that this leaves
no warrant for the appointment of
deputy outside of the list of justices.
