Cost of Dispensary Election.

According to a statement issued by
Comptroller General Jones, the cleo
ton on the whiskey question will
cost the State approximately $500.
OF this amount over $4,000 was
paid for advertising the election in
the papers in the 21 counties in
which the election was held, the re-
mainder going to the managers and
commissioners of election.
The legislature did not make any
provision at it's last session to defray
the expenses of the election and con-
sequently funds will have to be ap-
propriated at the next session.

Tragic Death of VIM. M. Chandler.

AS told in the press dispatches yes
terday, Mr.. VIM. NJ. Chandler, OF
South Carolina, editor of the Panama
Press. met with a tragic death in
Panama Wednesday. He was killed
by Gen. H. O. Jeffries, who hgured
prominently in the Panamanlan revo-
luton. ~
Mr.. Chambers mother lives in this
city and his body will be brought
here for burial.
The dispatches say that he was
killed on account of publication

upon sister-in-law of Jeffries. He
was knocked down and stunned by
the use of the butt of revolver, and
was then kicked violently.
The deceased is a native of Wlnns-
boro, where his father was employed
in a bank and later moved to Angus
ia, Ga. His mother, Mrs. NJ. E..
Chandler, was Miss Boatwright OF
this city, and is now resident of
Shandon with her daughters, Mrs. c..
P. Davis and Mrs. Walker. Prof. j.
Fleming Brown and Mrs. P. J. Boyd,
Spartanburg, uncle and aunt of the
deceased, arrived in Columbia last
night, and his father, D. F. Chandler,
of Jacksonville, Fla, and Mrs. F. B.
Fleming, of Augusta, Ga, are ex-
pected today.
The body will probably be brought
to Columbia, arriving here in about
eight days. Mr.. Chandler went to
the Philippines in 1898 as an enlisted
man and after serving in the army
several years engaged in business
there and is said to have been un-
usually successful. In April 1907, he
came to Columbia on visit and later
went to Panama, where he purchased
the plant of the paper of which he
was editor when killed. He was but
80 years old.-Columbia State.

New York, Sept. 1O.-With
the passing of s. H. Hartman
from the realm of business,
where he had long occupied a
dominent position achieved by
remarkable genius and intense
energy, the attention of. the
hosts of his friends and admir-
ers turned today to the stricken
family in the silent house on
Tower Hill at Arden.
The magnificent courage
with which Mr.. Hartman faced
the unconquerable enemy was
characteristic of the man and
stirred the emotions, not only
of those who had been close to
the railroad financier but eli.
cited tributes from men who
had been his opponents in the
business fray. Almost to the
very last the mind of the man
who had never given in to de-
feat continued actively direct
ing the great business he had
built. His last instructions
were delivered to a subordinate
only a few hours before his
death.
Constant vigil has been
maintained at the Hartman
home all during the night pre-.
ceding his death, for members
of his family realized that only
the stern will power of the man
sustained him in the unequal
fight he vac vaging.
The crisis was anticipated a,

expressed when he returned
from Europe to take, as he said
"the after cure" gave hope that
he might yet survive the criti-

Ex-Judge Robt. S. Lovett.
vice president of the Union Pa.
citic and one of Harriman's
closest associates, remained at
the ho-se al Wednesday night.
Although the patients vital
ity was at a low stage and he
was suffering from high fever
he revived twice yesterday
morning and endeavored to
cheer his despairing wife and
children. "Don't worry, my
DEAR" he said to his daughter,
Miss Mary Hartman. II am
going to get we'll"
Some hours later it became
apparent that the end of the
brilliant career was approach
ing and members OF the Harri-
man family were summoned to
the bedside. There, according
to one of those present, the
scene enacted was the most ef-
fecting as the husband and
father bade his wife and chill
dren goodbye. With unfalter-
ing courage but ebbing
strength he clasped the hands
with all for the last time, en-
braced them, spoke words of
cheer to his wife and daughters
and of advice to his sons Rol-
and and Averill. Roland, the
youngest son, who had been
his fathers constant companion
during his illness, wept and
sobbed as his father clasped
him in his arms and whispered
farewell words.
Harriman's death occurred
at 1:30 p. NJ, but the fact was
not announced until after the
Close of the stock market, about
2 o'clock. Wall Street heard
rumors that the financier wae
dead but that the statement to
that effect would not be given
out until after the stock ex.
change session ended.

riman home at 1:45 p. m

Gus and shrewd, but repellant.
In four years he had secured a
clerkship and small interest
in the profits of the firm.
At 22 he had earned by spec
ulation and saved enough mon
ey to buy a seat on the New
York Stock Excha-..a. There.
was no more dari.. >perator,
and there was none '-t watch
ed the trend of the market go
closely or who could change
his mind 80 quickly for in those
days Hartman had no money
with which to fight the market.
Jay Gould, Jim Fiske and Jay
Cooke were Harriman's in
structors, and it didn't take
him long to learn all they knew
about stock manipulation.
But it was railroads he was
studying all the time. He did.
not want to wreck roads for the
money he could make. like Jay
Gould, and he didn't want to
build them like James J. Hill.
He wanted to buy them ready
built and make them pay divi-
dends.
With this object in view he
spent years in borrowing mon
ey, first in small sums and Of
ten in larger ones, and repay
ing 1t, mainly for the purpose
of building up a credit,
Finally came the day when
he astounded Wall Street by
securing $42,O00.O 900 in cash and
buying the Chicago & Alton
road? That was back in 1889.
1t was not until nine years
later, in 1898, that the "street"
heard of Hartman again. Then
he announced that in company
with Kuhn, Loeb & Co., he in
tended to reorganize the Union
Pacific, which was being oper-
ated by a receiver because it
could not pay debt of 52.O0O,-
600 or even the interest thereon.
The road was reorganized.
Hartman bought the stock
$6 a share and drove it up to
$196.
Hartman wanted a Pacific
coast connection-the Union
Pacific only ran from Omaha
to Ogden. He bought the Ore.
gon Short Line and Oregon
Railway & Navigation proper
ties, which enabled him to
reach the north coast at Port
land.
Collis p. Huntington would
not cell him Central Pacific, 80
he started to parallel the Cen
trail Pacific tracks from Ogden
to San Francisco. Huntington
died and his heirs capitulated
to Hartman.
Soon after came the famous
fight with James J. Hill and ].
p. Morgan. to secure a hand in
the merger of the Northern Pa.
cific, Great Northern and Bur-
lington roads. Northern Paci-
fic stock was forced to $4,000 a
share, with none for sale, bank
ers and brokers were ruined,
and suicides were many. A
panic such as the country had
never seen would have follow
ed had not Jacob Schiff, #
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who had
been with Hartman in the
trenches, induced Hartman to
forego his pound of flesh.

anclal circles TINS morning was
that the business world was
prepared for the shock of Har-
riman's passing. So firm was
believed to be the foundation
he had established for the tow
ering business structure he
reared, that little or no appre-
hension was expressed,
It was pointed out that the
railroad builder had placed at
the head of the various proper
ties he controlled, a man il,
whom he had confidence and
who doubtless had instru ctions
to pursue the policies which
had carried the Hartman en-
terprises to success.
1t it the general belief that
over work was the cause OF
Harriman's death. There was
some malady of digestive or
gans which it is understood
was never positively diagnosed
and the nature of which never
will be known.
There is to be no autopsy.
The funeral services will be
held at Arden on Sunday after
noon at $50 and will be strictly
private.
