CHESTER'S MAYOR IN LIME
LIGHT.

SubpOenas Served i'm Chester and in
Charleston, Calling for Specific Re-
cord and Papers.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Rob-
ert Gage, cashier, of the Commercial
bank of this city, and Mr.. T. Butler
Woods, formerly in the employ of
said bank as bookkeeper, were served
through the sheriff's office with sub
poenas directing them to appear be-
fore the court at Columbia on yester-
day and to bring with them the
banks records Of certain checks or
drafts drawn by j.. s. Farnum, the
beer king of Charleston, in favor Of
Henry Samuels, of this city, and b.
w. Wilson, of Columbia, and which
were cashed by Samuels at the Com
mercial bank. The checks or drafts
set out in the subpoena were four in
number and aggregated $4,5OO.O0.
Three of them were payable to the
order of Samuels and the other to the
order of Wilson. From the manner
in which these particular items were
set out in these official papers it seems
that the attorney general and his able
assistants, have in truth gone to the
very bottom Of things and are able to
lay their hands on specific checks and
drafts that passed between the Off
GERS and drummers, and which repre-
sent part at least Of the alleged
graft that was dealt out with such
lavish hands. OF course it will not
be known, until the whole story
comes out before the court and jury,
just how much graft there was in the
business and the persons who receiv-
ed it, but at this stage of the game
1t would seem that the man who now
holds the highest Office in the gift of
the people of this city had consider
able to do with the disgraceful deal
ings that are about to be laid bare
before the people of the State. Every
one here is watching developments
with keenest interest, and that our
fair city is going to get some unenvi-
able advertisement out of the mat
ter before it is over.-Chester Ian

New Orleans, La, Sept. 2O.-After
attaining a velocity of 60 miles an
hour at New Orleans at 7 o'clock to-
night the West Indian hurricane
which struck the Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi gulf coast had been reduced
in its intensity at late hour tonight.
IL left in its wake four dead at New
orleans and perhaps others along the
gulf coast, though no definite advices
Of. mortality in other sections have
thus far been received here. The
property loss in New Orleans will ex-
ceed 100000 and many houses were
unroofed and frail buildings in num-
erous instances were partially de-
stroyed. With all wires down il is
impossible to ascertain the los of life
or property along the gulf coast. At
a late hour tonight the tracks of the

have been inundated some 20 miles

say when a resumption Of traffic will
begin. 1t is presumed, however, that
the trains Of this road will run into,
New Orleans by tomorrow.
The list of dead at New Orleans:
Victor Pujol, street railway inspector,
killed by live wire; James Garretson,
foreman street railway company,
killed by live wire; Charles Schultz,
killed by falling smokestack at Louis
lana brewery; John Arends, killed by
live telephone wire.
The steam ferry Assumption sank
at the head of Napolean avenue, no
lives lost. Considerable property
damage was done along the river
front.
The storm apparently moved in
land to southwestern Louisiana. The
velocity Of wind at New Orleans was
the most intense in the history of the
local weather bureau.

Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of
even date in reference to the Broad
way matter.
As delineated In your letter, re.
gard Mr. Broadway as a peculiar ad-
mixture of nerve and impudence,
with perhaps sufficient alcohol to act
as a preservative. My reason for say
ing this Is that he essays to prescribe
that which is a matter for others to
attend to.
respectfully submit that the Po-
lice and Sanitary Committee, Is. with
perhaps the exception of its Chair
man. composed of fairly representa-
tive citizens. and 1t Is a pleasure for
me to add that they have never
gravitated to such level as to con-
sidered an agency for revenge. This
Is what Mr.. Broadway would have
us become. and which, on behalf Of
the Committee. Indignantly de-
cline.
Without intending the slightest re-
Election on you. which I beg to as
sure you Is entirely foreign to this
matter. In view Of the rather remark
able turn this affair has taken, and
with no intention to offend, / beg to
say that. as Chairman Of the Police
and Sanitary Committee, I deem 1t
best that that committee investigate
this matter In such manner as 1t
deems proper for the maintenance of
the proper discipline of the Police
Service. without outside interference
With best regards, I am,
Very truly yours,
]. r. LIGON,

Sumter, 8. c., Sept. II, 1909.
Any citizen of the city of Sumter
has a right to demand the dismissal
of the said policemen If they are
guilty of the charges against them
provided they be convicted by compe-
tent evidence. and 1t has never been
contended that punishment should be
inflicted without proof of their guilt
was produced. Hence / see no great
harm In Mr.. Broadways demands or
that they were unreasonable. since
they were upon the condition that his
charges be proved true.
