DON'T WANT TAFT.
Negro Bishop Creates a Great sensa'
ton in New York.

ton in New York.
Bishop Alexander Walters, head of
the African Methodist Episcopal Zion
church in New York city, created
something like a sensation among
the colored worshipers of his demon
nation Tuesday by delivering himself
of a bitter attack on PRECEDENT Roose-
welt for the part he has played In
the Brownsville d air, and declar-
ing that Taft was unfit to be the ne
gro's candidate for the presidency be-
cause he was with Roosevelt, a party
to what the bishop termed "a DELHI
crate plot to discredit the negro race
for political purposes"
That the bishops denunciation OF
the president and Secretary Taft did
not fall on ears altogether apprecia-
tive was evidenced before the last
clause Of his letter had been read.
Several of those present allowed them
selves the privilege Of groans Of dis
approval, and at the end Rev. Dr.
Parks, chairman Of the meeting, call
ed attention as d~elicately as he could
TO the fact that the meeting was not
to discuss politics, but to considerthe
education of the members OF the
race.

MIR. ELY E. sMYTH OF HARRIS
VILE COMMITS SUICIDE.

Jumped Out of Window Without
Warning and Died After Being
Carried to Columbia.
The State says as train No. So
on the Atlantic Coast Line reached
the 17-mile post, nearing Columbia,
Tuesday morning, Ely E. Smith, de-
mented and under escort to the State
Hospital for the Insane, raised him
self cut of the seat in the smoking
car and dashed out of the window.
The act was done before any of
the Mortified passengers could stop
the unfortunate man and when the
train was stopped and the body re-
covered it was seen that there was
very little chance Of recovery. With
in a few minutes after arrival in Col
umbia he died and his body was at
once shipped back to his home in
Huntsville.
Mr.. Smith has for two years had
mental trouble, being injured by a
fall from a building. He never re-
covered from the result of the in
juries received by this fall and while
not violent his mind gradually grew
weaker and it was decided to place
him in the State Hospital for the In
sane.
He was carried to Columbia, es-
corted by the chief of police Of the
town, P. H. Kirkpatrick, and by DR..
J. l.. Powe, who was on his way to
the meeting of the State Medical as"
ISOLATION in Anderson. The man was
always quiet, although his two COM
panions deemed it best to keep a close
watch on his movements. When
Chief Kirkpatrick left his seat for a
minute a stranger who came into
the car took his place beside the lun-
attic and a second later Smith had
raised himself out Of the a and dis
appeared out of the open window.
Railroad Commissioner Earle, who
was on the car, had the train stopped
and a short distance back the body
was found. The nan was uncons-
cious and a hasty examination show
ed that he had no chance for recov-
ery. On arrival at Columbia be was
given medical attention but died with
In a few minutes of removal from the
train. The body was shipped back to
Huntsville to the family for inter-
ment.. Chief Kirkpatrick and DR..
Powe regret the affair very much but
according to the statement Of those
who witnessed the suicide nothing
could have stopped the unfortunate
man from his deed.

F|ENDISH BRUTE.
ATTEMPTED AN ASSAULT ON A
BRAVE LEXINGTON WOMAN.

hSe Chased the Scoundrel With a
Gun to Perry, Where He Was Ar.
rested.
The State says Chief of Police Sal
ley, of Perry carried to Columbia
Wednesday night and lodged in the
State p~enitentiary Alex. Hall, colored,
charged with attempting criminal
assault upon a Lexington county wo-
man Sunday afternoon.
The negro was arrested at Perry
Monday night by Chief Salley and
Wednesday he was taken to the Aiken
county Jail. 1t was deemed wise to
place the negro in the penitentiary,
however, and Officer Salley carried
him to Columbia Wednesday night
and he will remain here for safe
keeping until the opening of the regu-
lar term Of criminal court in Lexing-
ton. -
Sunday afternoon Hall stopped at
the home Of Mr.. c. Whit Sox, at
Edmunds, about 10 miles from Lex
ington. Mrs. Sox was the only per-
son at home. He asked her for a
drink of water and she started to get
it for him, when he turned and ex-
claimed: "You are what I want, not
the water" At the same time he
made a dash for Mrs. Sox, but she
grabbed a hammerless gun and at
tempted to shoot him, w%hereupon he
dashed out of the house. She did not
know how to operate the gun, other
wise she would have been able to fill
him with lead before he could have
possibly escaped. Mrs. Sox gave the
alarm Immediately and a number of
nearby citizens started in pursuit Of
the negro.
Chief of Police Salley of Perry was
informed over the telephone about
the attempted assault and was asked
to keep a lookout for the negro. Mon
day afternoon he located a negro an
swering the description and held him
for Identification. 1t is said that the
negro feared the result of having
Mrs. Sox come to Perry to identify
him and admitted that he was the
man, requesting that he be taken to
the Aiken jail.
Sheriff Corley of Lexington was in
formed of the arrest of Hall and ex-
pected to send his deputy to Aiken
for the purpose OF transferring him
to the Lexington Jail, but the negro
Is now in the penitentiary and will
remain there until the regular term
of the criminal court for Lexington
county convenes.

An Old Man Follows Advice Of Dr.
Osler.

When a man after an active life
finds himself without an opportunity
to continue his activity and through
reverse fortune is without means OF

he follow the proposition attributed

pedient to do So"

WITH BRYAN
And a Strong Running Mate VIII
Certainly Win Says
SENATOR TILLMAN.

He Thinks the Democrats Have .
Magnificent Chance to Win In No
vember-In the Northwest He
Found Thousands Of Republicans
Who Will Vote for Bryan Because
He Is With Roosevelt on Reform.
A special dispatch from Atlanta to
the Charleston Post says Senator
Tillman Is much improved at the san
itarium, but is still weak. In an In
terview he says:
The Democrats have a magnificent
chance to win. There is a spirit of I'M
rest and discomfort in the Republican
party. With Bryan and a strong
mate We car win.
Everything now points to Taft as
the Republican nominee. He is sup
posed to typify Rooseveltism, but I
believe he would be a different man
as President. I do not, believe Roose-
welt or any other man could control
him.
"In the Northwest I found. thous.
ands of Republicans who will vote for
Bryan because they know he stands
for the things Roosevelt stands for.
Of course, the old conservative DEM
ocrats would probably go to the Re-
publican nominee"
Senator Tillman expects to sail for
Europe in a few weeks. He may de-
eide to take a cattle steamer for the
long slow trip and ocean air. He is
able to take short walks.
