Woman's Bath Costly.

Cincinnati, Sept. 17.-Special Ex-
aminer Harry Waddell has sent to
Gov. Harmon report on the public
lighthouses hereabouts, stating that
he finds that it. costs the State almost
five times as much to battle women
as it does to bathe men in this city.
Mr.. Waddell thinks a woman
ought to be content with washing in
a shower bath. However, he finds
that out of the 10000 women who
bathed here last year at the public's
expense, only fifteen would use the
shower system, preferring the tub
and the excess amount of water.
In other words, it costs the State 2
cents for enough water to wash a
man and 91z cents for a woman. He
deprecates the fact that the women
insist on the tub, because he thinks
the shower bath is much healthier.

Who Gets Benefit?

Columbia, Sept. 1S.-Some farm
ers and others over the State are
trying to figure out where the farmer
comes in, if he gets in at all, on the
recent much heralded victory won
against the railroads for reduction of
fertilizer rates on shipments out OF
Charleston to points over the State.
AS will be recalled the railroad COM
mission got the rates reduced after
an Investigation which was urged by
the agricultural committees Of the
house and senate. It is estimated
that the total difference will be about
$250,000 per season. About 100000
tons are shipped annually. But so
far the consumer has seen no differ
ence. Almost without exception the
merchant pays the freight. The game
played in the legislature last spring
put about a quarter of a million dol
lars into some pockets, which have
not yet been identified as belonging
to the ultimate consumer" And
the sad part about it is that this was
about all that the head of steam
which had been gathered for several
years aginst fertilizer prices and
quality amounted to.

FOUR NEGROES ARRESTED.
CHARGED With Murder of Rich Mis-.
sissippi Planter.

Columbus, Miss, Sept. 19.-Blood-
stained clothing found at the cabin
of Henry Belts, negro, led to the
arrest to-day of himself and four
other negroes, John Bradley, Joe Cal
vim, John Field, and Harrison Cor
don, charged with the murder of J.
W. Smith, a wealthy planter of this
city, whose body, covered with gun
shot and knife wounds, was found
yesterday half hidden under earth
and brush in the recess Of a swamp
u miles Southeast of this city.
Smith left here on horseback to
visit his plantation, on the Tombig-
bee river, last Thursday. Next day
his riderless horse arrived at the
plantation, the saddle all covered
with blood. Hunting parties were
organized, resulting in the finding of
the body and the arrest Of the ne
groes to-day.

Negro Beats Tax Proposal.

Laurens, Sept. 1S.-Quite a lively
election was held yesterday at the
Long Branch school in which the ad-
vocates of the unknown Tongue" re-
ligion played quite CONSPICUOUS part,
winning the election for themselves
by voting a negro. 1t is recalled that
this school was the occasion of con-
siderable public comment some
months ago when the county board of
education dismissed the board of
trustees for employing teacher who
was not properly qualified and who
consumed much of the school time
teaching the unknown tongue.
The election yesterday was on the
question of voting a special tax for
the schools in that district. All those
who are believers in the unknown
tongue religion and who withdrew
their patronage of the school last
spring when the old board was dis
missed and a new teacher employed
were opposed to the tax, according
to the statement of the managers of
the election, who were here yester-
day and reported the matter to Su-
perintendent Pitts. The final vote
was a tie, IA to IA, but only after
late in the day, one Preston Blakely,
colored. cast his ballot against the
tax. The proposed levy was there
fore defeated, but another petition
will at once be circulated. However,
it is feared that since one negro voted
this time, doubtless more will be in
fuenced at the next election.
According to the statement Of the
managers this negro came to the poll
early in the day and asked to vote,
stating at the time that he was in
favor of the levy. A white man, who
happened to be standing near, and
who knew the negro well, advised in
kind manner that since the election
interested the white people chiefly he
not vote at all. This advice the ne
gro accepted with seeming good
grace. But later in the day, it is al
legged, the unknown tongue people
took the darky in tow and had him
come back and vote against the tax
levy.
The people of the district seem to
be much stirred up over the occur
renee, since it is their desire to i'm
prove the school and the tax is nee
essary to do this. The advocates of
the unknown tongue, since last
spring, have not been patronizing the
Long Branch school, but they en-
ployed the same teacher that was
dismissed by the new board and
started up private school almost in
calling distance.
Superintendent Pitts to-day ruled
the election of no avail and advised
the trustees to again secure the prop
er petition, and try again, notwith-
standing the possibility that more ne
groes may seek to vote.

ARRESTED IN BARNWELL.
Sheriff Connor, of Chattanooga Takes
Back A. B. Levy.

Sheriff Sam P. Connor, of Chatta-
nooga, was in the city last night en-
route from Barnwell to Chattanooga
with prisoner, A. B. Levy, who is
charged with the theft of horse and
buggy from Chattanooga livery
firm. Levy goes by the name OF
CDR" Levy and is a peddler of spec
tacles. He is charged with hiring
the horse and buggy in question from:
a livery stable in Chattanooga on
August for Is days. When the Is
days had expired and neither the
horse and buggy nor Levy had re-
turned the law was appealed to, and
Sheriff Connor sent out distress sig
nails to all parts of the country.
OR" Levy was arrested in Barn
we'll Monday, where he was selling
spectacles and travelling in a team
answering to the description of the
horse and buggy stolen in Chatta-
nooga. He agreed to return to Ten
nessee without requisition papers,
and Sheriff Conner is now taking him
to Chattanooga for trial. The most
remarkable feature of the whole
transaction is that Levy drove the
horse from Chattanooga, Tenn, to
Barnwell, a distance of over 400
miles. Sheriff Connor spent several
hours in the city between trains, and
was welcomed to the city by a num-
Der of friends who gave him hearty
welcome to Colum bia.-The State.

TAKEN TO ASYLUM.
A Wesleyan Methodist Minister Goes
Violently Insane.

Rev. D. R. Brown, formerly mem
Der of the South Carolina conference
but more recently minister of the
Wesleyan Methodist church, was TAX
en- from Spartanburg to the hospital
for the insane at Columbia. 1t became
necessary for the officers to place
manacles on his wrists before they
could manage him.
Mr.. Brown was for years member
of the South Carolina conference. He
kicked out himself and asked that his
credentials be surrendered. His rea-
son for leaving the conference, as
stated at the time, was that he did
not think there was enough religion
in the Methodist church for him. He
became identified with the unknown
tongue religion and later on joined
the Wesleyan Methodist church.

PITIFUL CASE IN CHARLESTON
Manned East Indian Sailor Forced to
Beg in the Streets.

Charleston, Sept. 20.-An East In
dian, said to have been member OF
the crew of the British steamship
Annie, with a name of many con-
sonants and hardly pronounceable
save by speaker Of the language, pre-
sented a pitiable condition on the
steps of the custom house building,
having been turned out of the Roper
hospital where he had had leg am
putated and been treated for other
injuries, received by being run over
by an engine of the East Shore Ter
minal company and having been ta-
ken to the custom house building in
search of the British consul from
whom he was seeking assistance.
The unfortunate man, with two
crude crutches by his side, with the
leg from which the amputated por-
ton had been made resting on a
small bundle of clothing and his re-
naming foot bandaged, sat for hours,
occasionally telling his story of mis-
cry to those who lent willing ear.
The emaciated condition of the man,
with his face telling his sad story,
attracted the attention of all passers
and one of the officials of the build
ing interested himself in the behalf
of the East Indian but with no results
as far assistance from the acting
consul was concerned. Mr.. William
Roach, the acting consul, refused to
interest himself in the case because
under the regulations of the service
the case had not been brought before
him by the master of the British ves-
sci. This was the explanation made
at the government building to those
who inquired why the representative
of the British government did not
come to the assistance of the man.
The East Indian claims that he
was a member Of the crew at the
time he was hurt. He was crossing
the tracks to 60 to his vessel when
he was knocked down and run over
and later taken to the Roper hospital
for treatment. He was discharged
as cured on Friday but by courtesy
was permitted to sleep in the institu-
ton during the past few nights. The
man is said to have been without
food during the past few days and
to be in urgent need of attention.
Efforts were being made this after
noon to interest some of the East
Indian colony in the city in the mans
condition.

Pastor Editor in Jail.

Waukegan, ILL.,, Sept. 16.-Rev.
Wallace NJ. Stuckey, pastor of the
Christian church, of Williamsburg,
Kas., and editor of the Williamsburg
Star, is confined in the county jail
on the charge Of having abducted
Lorena Sutherland, the 16-year-old
daughter OF wealthy farmer of Will
|liamsburg, from her home. The girl.
originally a brunette, but now a
blonde, also is in custody. She will
be returned to he: parents and be
used as a witpess against the accused
preacher.
In every principal feature the case
is like that of Rev. Jere Knode Cooke,
pastor of St. Georges Episcopal
church, Long Island, N. ", who de-
serted his wife and children and fed
to San Francisco with Loretta Wha-
ley.
The accused preacher, who had
been pastor of the Williamsburg
church for six months, disappeared
from Williamsburg on July IL, last,
deserting his wife and four young
children. Two weeks later the Suth-
erland girl disappeared and it is now
known that she joined Stuckey in
Chicago.
The girl bleached her hair in the
effort to disguise herself. The first
of her troubles occurred when Stuck
ey was struck by a Chicago street car
and suffered the fracture Of three
ribs. When he recovered from this
injury he found that he and his child
companion had been reduced to the
point Of starvation.
Stuckey tried playing a cornet at a
cheap Chicago theatre and then came
to Waukegan to work in a brass
foundry. He brought Miss Suther-
land with him, introducing her as his
daughter and calling himself Mr..
Morgan. The relations of the ''fath-
er" and daughter" aroused sus-
picion and Sheriff Griffin arrested the
pair. =.

GULF STORM RACES.
Sweeps Down on New Orleans Killing
Four Persons.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 20
After attaining velocity Of so miles
an hour at New Orleans at Z O'Clock
tonight the West Indian hurricane
which struck the Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi gulf coast had been reduced
in it's intensity at late hour tonight.
1t left in it's 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 houses in many
instances were partially destroyed.
With all wires down it is impossible
to ascertain the loss of life or prop
erty along the gulf coast. At late
hour tonight the tracks of the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad, which have
been inundated some 20 miles east
OF New Orleans, have not been fully
repaired, and it is impossible to say
when resumption Of traffic will be-
gin. 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 inspec-
tor, killed by live wire; James Gar
retson, foreman street railway COM
pany, killed by live wire; Charles
Schultz, killed by falling smokestack
at louisiana brewery; John Arends,
killed by live telephone wire.
The steam ferry Assumption sank
at the head of Napoleon 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.

control the price. If the farmers
will only market their cotton slowly,
there will be no cheap cotton this
fall.
