Columbia, Nov. 27.-The Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio Railway
Will not be chartered under the do
mestication act Of 1909. After sew
eral hours debate the judiciary of this
State, which includes the Supreme
Court Justices and the circuit judges,
tonight declared the act unconstitu-
tional by refusing the writ of man
damus
Thus is ended the legal battle that
trst saw the light during the past
summer when Attorney General Ly-
on gave his opinion that the act was
in violation of the constitution.
The charter was refused by Secre-
tary Of State McCown, and this &C
ton is now upheld by the court sit
ting en- banc. The opinion declar-
ing the act unconstitutional is by

Bigham Will Not Be Pastor.

In a telegram received late Sun
day by Presiding Elder B. F. Fraser,
of the Augusta district, from Bishop
Hendrix Of the North Georgia confer
ence, it was announced that the lat
ter had appointed the Rev. Joel T.
Dawes, the present presiding elder of
the Atlanta district, to assume charge
of St. John Methodist church in this
city, and the Rev. R. J. Bigham. the
recently appointed pastor, whose
coming has been contested by the
local congregation, will become pre-
siding elder in Atlanta. The message
Of Bishop Hendrix means the finale
of a great quarrel that was looming
up in the North Georgia conference,
for in it's appeal to the bishop for the
release from Mr.. Bigham's pastorate,
the stewards of st. John church
threatened to resign and their action
was endorsed by the members Of the
church. The local congregation did
not consider that Mr.. Bigham was a
fit man to be the pastor of st. John
church, but in criticism of the bish-
ops appointment of DR.. Dawes moth
ing but words of commendation are
heard.-Augusta Herald.

Camilla, Ga, November 27.-Pur-
suing his eloping daughter, who had
ran away from home with Columbus

thiest farmers Of Mitchell county,
was shot to death in the public road

ternoon, when he caught the fleeing

ter an alteration following the ap-
pearance Of the father of the girl,
and in a fight for her possession.
No word has been heard from the

cling was known, and it is believed

Hydrophobia Kills Many.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The de-
struction of all animals afflicted with
rabies and the proper muZzling of all
dogs in areas infected with the dis
ease are strongly advocated by. John
W. Keer, assistant surgeon general,
and Arthur NJ. Stimson, passed as
sistant surgeon general of the public
health and marine hospital service
in a. report made public today.
The report is based upon more
than 3,285 replies to inquiries sent
out by Surgeon General Wyman to
State knowledge of the disease to
determine it's geographical distribu-
ton. From information gathered it
is shown that rabies has been cpl
demic in the United States for more
than 100 years.
There were Ill deaths of human
beings from hydrophobia reported
among thirty States during 1908.
Rabies was reported in the lower
animals from at least 534 localities
in thirty-nine States and Territories,
including the District Of olumbia.
Evidence was secured of nearly 1,500
persons, who on account of exposure
to rabid, or presumably rabid, ami
mails were obliged to take the Pasteur
treatment.
The most striking feature brought
out Is the very general distribution
of the disease throughout the Eastern
portion Of the country and it's almost
complete absence from the extreme
Western part especially the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast hegions.
The animals reported as having
been affected with the rabies were
dogs. cats, wolves, horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, squirrels and, last but
not least, "skunks." It was among
"skunks" that the disease was re-
ported In Arizona and the single
death among human beings in that
State followed the bite Of one Of those
animals.

A JUVENILE COURT.
Sen. H. b. Carlisle, Of Spartanburg,
Will Introduce Such q Bill.

Senator H. B. Carlisle will intro
duce bill at the next session OF the
legislature providing for the estab-
lisment Of a juvenile court for
South Carolina. He has been inter
ested in a juvenile court for this
State through the ladies Of Central
Methodist church.
For some time the ladies Of Cen
trail church have been discussing the
needs of a juvenile court for South
Carolina. Recently a committee was
appointed to take steps necessary to
secure the introduction Of bill in
the legislature for the creation OF
such a court in this State. The fol-
lowing were appointed on the COM
mittee: Mrs. ]. T. Johnson, chair
man; Mrs. J. Wright Nash, Mrs. D.
A. DuPre, Mrs. w. E. Burnett and
Miss Annie Mutch, the deaconess of
Central church.
This morning the committee Of la
dies met with Senator Carlisle at his
office and interested him in the pro-
posed reform. Mr.. Carlisle was very
much impressed with the idea for a
juvenile court for this State and
promised to introduce bill at the
next session of the legislature for the
creation Of the court.
Juvenile courts have been created
in many States and much good has
been accomplished through them.
The purpose of such court is to
separate children who commit wrong
from adult criminals and thus deter
them from a criminal career. A
child upon being tried in the juvenile
court and found guilty is sent to the
house of correction, and dealt with
gently and correctly. Officers take
charge of him and train him along
right lines. Every safeguard is
thrown around a child to keep him
from a criminal life.-Spartanburg
Journal.

BETTER TEACHERS WANTED.
State Superintendent Of Education
Proposes Radical Changes.

Columbia Nov. 23.-Superintend-
ent Swearingen's report to the COM
ing Legislature proposes doing away
with the present system of teachers
examinations conducted by the coun-
ty boards. He would create State
board of examiners to make the GER
tiication uniform. He alleges that
a third of the high school teachers
are not legally qualified.
Mr.. Swearingen's plan would
throw out of employment nearly half
of the teachers in the State. The
new certificates are to be good in all
the counties, and only diplomas from
normal schools would be good, and
the certificates would be graded ac-
cording to the applicants ability and
fitness to teach a primary, grammar
school, or high school, and would be
good two, five or ten years, according
to ability, fitness and experience.

r. C.. Duncan Attacks Mayor.

Union, Nov. ga personal en-
counter between T. c. Duncan anc
Mayor Wagnon in the latter's Office
on Wednesday night has been the
talk of the town for the past two
days and this morning resulted in
the matter being brought into police
court when the case against Mayor
Wagnon was dismissed by Mayor Pre-
Tenn G. w. Going and the case
against Duncan continued until next
Friday.
1t seems that the trouble arose
over the question of the installation
of a sewerage line from the Union
and Glenn Springs depot to Mr.. Dun
cans place and started over tele'
phone conversation.
It was about o'clock when Mr.
Duncan entered the Union Grocery
Co., where there were quite mum
Der of persons gathered and proceed
ed back to Mayor Wagnon's Office
The two engaged in heated conver:
sation for a few moments when the
bystanders heard Duncan say some
thing to the effect that unless the
work was put in Immediately he
would not pay his taxes. This sound
ed so absurd to Mayor Wagnon thai
he remarked:
You talk like a fool"
Duncan then replied without mine
ing words:
"You are a G. ~ fool" and rising
proceeded to begin pounding at May
or Wagnon who was leaning back IL
his chair at the time. Mr.. Wagner
attempted to ward off the blows with
his hands and only one Of the blows
out of six or eight hit his head.
Hearing the trouble several per
sons rushed to the scene and Duncan
was pulled off by Alderman j. E. Kir.
by. In the meantime Mayor Wag
non did some very effective kick
ing and with his pedal extremities
had given Duncan's stomach some
severe jabs, knocking out his watch
and breaking the chain.
After Alderman Kirby had gotteI
hold of Duncan he seemed to think
that Wagnon would strike him, but
Wagnon replied that he would moi
strike a man who could not defend
himself. Some further remarks were
passed and the lie given, Duncan
adding some invective to his which
caused Wagnon to say that he would
not use such language even though
Duncan descended to it.
This is said to have brought Dun
can to his senses and he rendered the
most profuse apologies for his con
duct, saying that he had never lost
such complete control of himself but
once before and that he would moi
have had that occur for a thousand
dollars, and that II Mayor Wagner
could find any satisfaction in striking
him he would stand up and receive
the blows.
The two men then made up and the
love feast was figuratively served
This morning the case came VI
before Mayor Pro TEN G. w. Going
p. D. Barron representing Mayor
Wagnon, and at the hearing the case
was dismissed.
; At the request Of Judge D. "A
Townsend the case against Mr.. Dun
can was continued until next Friday
December 3rd,' as Mr.. Duncan's at
torney, Mr.. B. F. Townsend. Is on
Of town.
