For Protection on Lumber or
Anything Else.
TILLMAN and Smith
Takes Their Democracy Straight and
Will Fulfill Their Party's Pledge
BY Voting to Garry Out Promise
Made in the Democratic Platform
for Tariff Reform

Zach McGee, writing to The State
from Washington, says Senator Smith
showed some emotion Friday when
he saw The State, containing the
extract from the Virginia paper
stating the new South Carolina sena-
tor was going to vote for protection
on the products of his State. He
was at that time turning off lumber
lobby, which wanted to convince him
he ought to vote for a duty on lum-
Der.
Some of the lumber lobbyists see
ing the piece in the paper, supposed
that Smith was open to PROPOSE
ton, or at least ready to be con-
vinced This. in spite of the fact,
the senator says, that he had told
them that he was going to vote the
straight Democratic ticket, one plank
of whose platform declared specifcal-
ly for free lumber. The Virginia
paper referred to Senator Smith of
South Carolina.
There are a good many Smiths
in the country" said the senator.
Gwen the senate here is loaded with
them. This particular Smith is
Democrat and whenever he can not
act in accordance with the Demo-
cratic party's principles, he's going
to resign his job and get out.
The lumber lobbyists have been
calling on both the South Carolina
senators. Senator Tillman told them
the same thing that Smith told them
that he was going to vote in ac-
cordance with the platform which
called for free lumber.
The lumber lobby, by the way,
which called on Senators Smith and
Tillman represented themselves as
from South Carolina. Six men called
at Senator Smiths Office one day,
telling him that some of them were
from South Carolina and some from
other States, who had interests IN
South Carolina AS they came out
I met them.
Do any of you gentlemen live in
South Carolina" I asked.
"WeU.' answered one Stralghttor-
ward, honest-looking fellow, 81 have

actly say live there. I live in New
York
Are any of the others from South
Carolina?" I asked.

SLAYED HIS FRIEND
THE MURDERCUs DEEDS OF A
MANIAC IN ALABAMA.
Shoots One Friend to Death and
Then Turns Pistol on Another,
Who He Wounds.

An awful tragedy took place al
Huntsville, Ala, on Friday. by which
one man lost his life and another was
badly wounded. Here are the par.
ticulars:
]. Robert Jones, senior member OF
the insurance firm Of Jones & Ri
son, was shot and killed BY VIM. L.
Halsey, president of the Halsey
Wholesale Grocey Company. A. D.
Mcdowell, shipping clerk in the
Halsey establishment, was fatally
shot and is expected to die. Mr.
Halsey is in Jail and is said to be
insane.
The shooting occurred in the Hal
sey store, where Mr.. Jones had gone
to adjust some matter relative to
insurance. No quarrel occurred so
far as known, and the shooting was
as unexpected to MI. Jones as to
VIM. L. Falsey, Jr., son of the slay-
er, who sat in the Office and was the
sole witness besides Mcdowell.
Mcdowell was shot several mlnu-
tes after Mr.. Jones was killed. He
had telephoned for doctor for Jones
and then perceiving that Hr Halsey
had gone insane, attempted to es-
cape from him. He was shot III
the back, the bullet coming out In
his abdomen.
Haley has been under treatment

Before going to see him Jones said

ried man, has been employed oy

DREAM OF TRAGEDY
WHICH LEADS TO THE ARREST
OF THE MURDERER.
Three Men Arrested Charged With
the Murder and One Confesses to
the Chief of Police.

Prof James H. Hyslop, of the
American Society of Psychilca: Re-
search, who, with DR.. Isaac M. Funk,
has revealed many of the mysteries
of spiritualism, relates, in the forth
coming Journal of Psychical Re-
search, the remarkable case of Mrs.
Susan Dellinger, of York Pa.
Prof. Hyslop has spent many years
in endeavoring to discover any actual
facts which would prove the exist
ance of spirit world. In the case
of Mrs. Dellinger he believes a ma
terial fact has been found.
William E. Hooper and his broth
er, Curvin, were shot and killed near
little church yard at York. Three
young men were arrested and charg-
ed with the murder.
Mrs. Dellinger, according to Prof.
Hyslop, dreamed two nights after
the crime that she had seen one of
the alleged sla:ers, Henry Snydor,
pick up a revolver and throw it over
the cemetery fence, where it fell by
the side of a grave, on which she
read in her dream the epitaph of
Curtis Site
On relating her dream the follow
ing day to her son, Mrs. Dellinger de-
scribed minutely where the revolver
was seen by her in her vision, and
said that it could be observed from
outside the fence. The son went %
the ceme.e,y and found the weap,n
t xactly woCre she had re cribed.
Sydnor subsequently, confessed tc
the chief oi police, according to Pref
Hyslop, and said that he had dis
posed of the revolver in exactly the
manner described by Mrs. Dellinger
in her vision.

FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
A Poultry Raiser Has Contest With
Wild Cat.

John Simonton, a poultry raiser,
at Deep River, Conn, had a desper-
ate battle for his life with fifty
pound wild cat.
Simonton heard a noise among
the chickens before daylight and
when he opened one of the henhous-
es he encountered the wild cat. AS
Simonton's dog jumped at the brute
the animal turned and struck Simon
ton a blow with one paw that tore
his head open. The poultry raiser
seized club just as the beast sprang
for his face. He missed and the
cat sank it's claws into his arms.
He shook it off, but it leaped again.
They went down together and for
fifteen minutes were engaged in a
terrific struggle, with the dog as
sisting his master the best he could.
Simonson finally brought the club
down on the wild cats head, killing
it, but not until he had been fright
fully lacerated.

Members Of the committee VINO

should have remedied long ago.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
Supreme Court Decides Case in

The Charleston Post say the United

much insaress to truck growers

considerate treatment nthe part
of railroads in fostering the promo
ton of the industry. In both cas-
es J. \. VOORHEES,. truck farmer IN
st. Andrews parish, was the plain
tiff. and the Atlantic Coast Line and
other roads the defendants. A de-
cision favorable to truck interests
was rendered in both suits.
In one case the plaintiff shipped
six carloads of cabbages from St.
Andrews to New York, for the trans
portation of which the defendants
charged less than the carload rate.
because the initial carrier performed
the loading service. The decision
of the court is that these shipments
having been offered in carload ouan-
titles were entitled to the published
carload rate. and in the absence OF
snecific tariff provision. no additional
charge could be awfully collected
from the comr 20 cover load
ing service D, by the rail-
road company.
In the other a question Of

cided that the charge Of sixty-tnree
cents per half-barrel crate was "un-
reasonable and rate Of fcrty-elght
cents a fairer one than the thirty
two cent rate which had been urged
by the complainant before the rail-
road commission. The orders OF
the court in both cases provide for
a refund of excess charges. The
amount invloved is not large, but the
principle is of much moment to the
truck farmers and the decision IS
being received with much pleasure

Thought to Have Been Lost.

Thought to Have Been Lost.
It may be that Capt. Collin Steph.
enson and the crew Of the Ameri.
can whaling ship Carrie D. Knowles,
long since thought to have been lost
a; sea, are still in a Venezuelan
prison.
An American seaman, who gives
the name of Payne, an escaped pris-
oner from Venezuela, has made his
way to Kingston, where he laid be-
fore the authorities an astounding
story of the seizure of the Carrie D.
Knowles at a Venezuelan port, where
she arrived Ave years ago in dis
tress, and the Incarceration by the
Venezuelans OF the captain and his
men.
The authorities at Kingston have
taken steps looking to speedy and
thorough investigation of the case.
On January 27, 1904. the Carrie
D. Knowles sailed from Province
ton, Mass, on q whaling voyage. Her
captain was Collin Stephenson, and
her first mate, H. A. Martin. In
addition she carried a crew of about
a Dozen Payne asserts positively
that all are at the present time con-
fined in a Venezuelan prison.
The vessel was supposed to have
been lost in West Indian storm,
with all hands. Some Of the men
belonging in St. Vincent, and after
all hope was given up of their return,
their relatives put on mourning and
the local insurance company eventu-
ally paid the claims against it, on
the assumption that the sailors were
dead. The story Payne told to the
police authorities caused great ex
citement.
Payne declared that the whaler
had been disabled in storm of the
Venezuelan coast and had made
port in distress. This was five years
ago. She was at once seized and
the captain and crew were made pris-
oners and thrown into jail. The,
details of Payne's escape from pris-
on are not known, as the police have
him in charge.
