Lake Uity Locals.

Lake City, February 17:-Mr
John d Kelley of Charleston
came up Saturday and is still in
town on business.
The sympathy felt here for
Mr. Winslow Wright was marked
and widespread. Scarcely ever
have we known our people to
feel so keenly and unitedIy that
a near and dear friend had Suf-
fered a terrible blow, and the
feeling of Indignation toward
the dastardly scoundrel who
caused the loss is not loud but
deep-deeper than we care to
tell. No man in this section is
held in higher esteem than Mr.
Wright.
When the news Of Mr. Wright S
fire came to a certain "drum-
mer" in a Manning hotel it made
him blue. blue. He had Eoped
TO place a big bill next day with
the unfortunate. Soon a tele-
gram came: $50 to Scranton to
morrow. Sell WinSlow Wright

Just it. The sender of that mes
sage knew the man WinSlow

MORE ABOUT MOTLEY'S EXIT.
Significant Discoveries Subsequent to
His Departure.

LakeCity. February l7:-Npth'
ing has been heard OF Mr. y +
Motley yet, except that a drum
mer said at Lake City Monday
that he saw Motley on a train
near Atlanta about three weeks
ago. If this drummer was not
mistaken, then the theory OF
foul play or robbery is exploded
Last week this writer stated
that Motley sold tract of land
in Virginia for $500 just before
he left Lake City. The deed
was drawn in the writer's office,
hence the statement. Now, the
information comes to US that
the deed, unsigned, has been
found in Motley's room and that
he did not own any land in Vir-
ginia. Then why did he have
the deed prepared All sorts
of rumors are afoat, sensa tional
and otherwise, but we shall not
repeat these rumors for the very
reason that they are only ru-
mors. The facts will come out
in few days now However,
all the circumstances seem to
show that Motley left with no
intention of returning and that
he does not care for his wherea-
abouts to be known.

ally of Marion county but now

He was educated at Mars Bluff

He was converted at the age
of l3 years under the ministry
OF Rev j B Campbell ard at II

the work of the ministry. He
moved to Georgia in 1872 and in

On South Branchville he added
l25, and on Cypress 95. W hile
at Harleyville over 100 We're
added and he built a new par

So we see the good brothers

pie gospel that reached the
hearts of the people.
He was married twice. First,

Bryan Appeals to Taft.

Lincoln, Neb.-William J. Bryan
Monday addressed a letter to Presi-
dent Taft asking him to allow the peo-
pie to vote on popular election of sena-
tors. Mr. Bryan says:
ITO President Taft: Now that the
states are going to vote on the ratifi-
cation of the amendment specifically
authorizing an income tax, why not
give them a chance to vote on an
amendment providing for the election
OF United States senators by popular
vote?
IN your speech of acceptance you
said that you were personally inclined
to favor such a change in the constitu-
ton. Would this not be an opportune
time to present this subject to Con
gress - two constitutional amend
ments, one authorizing an income tax
and the other providing for the popu-
lar election of senators?
Make your administration memora-
BILE and / pledge you whatever assist
ance can render in securing the rat
ification of these amendments.

PERSIAN CAPITAL
DEMAND THAT SHAH GRANT CON-

REAL PARLIAMENT.
R0YAuSTS HELPLESS
PRESENT CONDITION RESULT OF
NATIONALIST MOVEMENT
BEGUN IN 1907.

Teheran, Persia.-Rccent events in
Turkey are being repeated in Persia.
The constitutional forces, the advance
of which on Teheran for time was
not considered serious, are now in
possession of the greater part of the
city, which they entered Tuesday
morning without encountering any or
ganized resistance.
While Sardarasad and Sipahdar, the
leaders in the movement, concentrated
the attention of the royalists by demon
strations to the west, strong body Of
nationalists and Bakhtiaris made their
way unnoticed around to the north.
from which point thecapture of the
capitol was not difficult.
The guards at the northern gate
were disarmed and the invaders
marched in, the foreign sections lead
ers taking up their quarters in the old
Mejliss building.
This gives the nationalists command
of the city with the exception of the
artillery square and the drill ground
adjoining.
The royalists are badly situated to
make further resistance and the Cos.
sacks, under command of Russian Of
ficers, remain outside the civ entire
ly cut off from their comrades in the
artillery square.
The strictest discipline is being
maintained by the nationalists, who
other points as the royalists are dis
armed
The nationalist leader in a note to
the Russian and British legations,
guarantees security of life and prop
erty to foreigners, adding that nothing
is demanded from the shah but a real
constitution.
Sipahdar already has summoned the
members of the Me1liss to witness the
opening of parliament.
The invaders lost only one man
while making their entry into the city.
The loss to the royalists is unknown.
but cannot be heavy, as the Cossacks
were the only defenders to offer re-
sistance.
The occupation of the Persian CAPT.
tai by the nationalists Tuesday is a
direct result of the insistence of the
Persian people that the shah govern
the country under the constitution Of
January 1, 1907.
The shah signed this constitution
when he ascended the throne, but
from the first he showed an inclina-
ton to disregard it and finally with.
drew it.
While the shah was trying to cope
with unrest in the north, the Bakh-
tiardi tribesmen, the fighting race of
Persia, arose in the south and early
this year captured Ispahan. 210 miles
south of Teheran. The tribesmen then
began the long march to the capital
and their advance guard arrived in
front of Teheran last month.
