Rambler" on DR.. osler's Sug-

Ba ptist Church.

! The concensus of opinion here
abouts, seems to be, that senator
Tillman is in a hole. While the
senator has violated no law, as the
"one honest man in the senate" he
has not held himself, above suspi-
cion. According to Osler he ought
to have been chloroformed about
a year age, having passed the age
of sixty; but as that was not done,
South Carolina will have to forgive
him on account of mental infrmi-
ties brought on by age. But candid
ly if senator Tillman had not been
roaming over the west," teaching
those westerners his kind of politics,
he might have kept out of that
scrap"
He had better been at home
teaching we ignorant South Caro-
linians, his constituency, how to
keep ahead of the negro, about
which he talked to our patriotic
teachers in. Columbia some days
ago. If he would give our teachers
the proper support in their earnest
endeavor to train the youth of our
states, though past sixty, I should

the cotton being shipped to Augusta,

Will Be Forwarded to Head Of Navy
Departmental Findings Declare
Young Man Suicide Family Will
Lay Whole Matter Before President
Taft for Review.

Taft for Review.
Annapolis, Nd, Aug. 16.-The find
ings of the court of inquiry appointed
by the secretary Of the navy to deter
mine the manner in which Marine
Lieutenant James N. Sutton met his
death two years ago was forwarded to
the secretary of the navy today.
The three members of the court
Commander Hood, U. S. N, president;
Major Neville, U. s.. M. c., and Senior
Lieutenant Jenson, U. S. N.-were in
conference yesterday and there is rea-
son to believe that they have reached
an agreement as to the wording of
their verdict. This will be made public
by the secretary of the navy.
If their decision confirms the verdict
of the court of inquest that Lieutenant
Sutton committed suicide the Sutton
family will take an appeal to the pres
fdent and request that the attorney
general call the attention OF the fed
eral courts to the case.
If the decision of the court of in
quiry should be that Sutton killed
himself, and either while attempting to
defend himself or by the accidental
discharge of the revolver he held in
his hand, Mrs. Sutton will probably ac.
cept it as final and there will be no
further investigation.
