MAYOR ANSWERS MINISTER'S.
Says He Is Enforcing Laws rs swell
As it l. Practicable to do So.

The agitation against the present
methods OF dealing with the "blind
tigers" and gambling joints. begun by
the Ministerial Union, was the subject
OF considerable discussion yesterday,
and the future action of the Union
along this line,will be awaited with in
terest. Mayor Rhett, who Is directly
charged with the enforcement Of all
laws and ordinances, says he is sat-
isfled with his position and maintains
that he Is doing all in his power to en-
force the dispensary law, and that
good results have come of his sys-
tematic way of dealing with the whole
situation. He says the same thing of
the gambling joints, but admits the
inability of the police department to
enforce the ordinance absolutely.
In speaking Of the action Of the
Ministerial Union yesterday Mayor
Rhett said:
"I am using my best efforts to sup
press the illegal sale of liquor and en-
force the dispensary law without dis
elimination. II I could find city of
any size In which a prohibition law Is
enforced to any extent, would GER
tainly visit II to learn its methods. 1
have looked into the enforcement of
liquor laws in many cities and I think
that my system Is the Best. I have
by systematic treatment reduced the
number Of places where liquor Is sold
over so per cent. I wish I could find
way to enforce this law and some
other laws absolutely, but as I can
not I am doing the best 1 can. The
ministers will have to change the sem
timent of the community before / can
go any further.
"As far as gambling is concerned.
am. as much opposed to that evil
as any member of the Ministerial
Union. and / am doing all / can to
suppress IL. AS long as there are any
persons In the community who want
to gamble they are going to find q
way to gamble. and no police force in
the world Is going to stop them abso-
lutely. You can say that I am en-
deavoring to enforce every law to the
extent that I feel 1t to be practicable,
and l VIII continue to do so as long
as 1 am the mayor of the city."-The

Believed That Road From Spartan

Be Commenced Soon.

Spartanhurg, Jan. 1S.-FrOm what
may be regarded as u reliable source,
il is said that the construction Of the
Carolina, Clinchfeld & Ohio railway
from Spartanburg to Columbia Will
likely commence much earlier than
has been heretofore expected. The
building of this link has been decided
upon, it is believed, and it is not at
all unlikely that it may be under con-
struction or let to contract in less
than - months.
The second survey between Spar
tanburg and Columbia is now being
finished and a third will likely be
made over a portion of the distance.
The line now being run is on the west
side of Broad river.

cian Mrs. Lowe died last Sunday
night and was Inferred on Monday.
but on the request OK Mrs. Counts of
augusta, mother of Mrs Lowe, the
authorities had the cody disinterreds
Yesterday and an inquest held.
The evidence at the inquest showed
that Sunday night Lowe came to his
home, accompanied by Boyd, both in
drunken condition. During the night
Alfred Glover, a negro, heard a wo- ,
man scream in Lowe house and beg
for her life. Glover lives about 200
yards from the house The screams
were also heard by other parties. Next
morning the woman was found dead.
Mrs Counts came over from Augusta
and says that she found bruises on
Mrs. loves throat and body and was2
not satisfied as to her death. After
the burial she became so convinced
that something was wrong that she
came to Aiken and asked an investi-
cation.
Boyd and Lowe both testified to
coming to loves house after drink
ing. They said they retired soon after
arriving. During the night Boyd said
he went to Loves bed and called him
and told him to get UP. that he had a
long ways to go his home and that he
must have an early start. Lowe got
up and when he looked at the clock,
he saw it was o'clock and they went\
back to bed. Early Monday morning,
Lowe said, he called to his wife, who
was sleeping with him, and she did
not answer. He shook her ana found
that she was cold. He said he called
Boyd and they found her dead, with
one arm on the back OF her neck.
When testifying Lowe is said to
have almost broken down. The ex-
amining physician found bruises on
her throat and body and found that
there had been sufficient extrenal vio-
lence to have produced death.
The verdict of the jury of inquest I
was that the deceased came to her
