STORY CAUSES COMMENT.
The Livingston Church Affair Gen
orally Discussed.

The facts of the story of the Liv-
ingston church erected by dispensary
profits printed in the Evening News
have been verified, and they remain
substantially as set forth. The church
was erected under the direction of a
building committee appointed by the
Methodist church, and is now very
near completion. The pews have
just about reached the town, and ac-
cording to good authority were paid
for by recent profits of the dispen-
sary.
The story has been commented
upon widely. Not only have the
comments come from this section,
but papers in Georgia have reprinted
the story, and one, an Augusta pa
per, printed a half column editorial
on the affair, headed "The Devils
Money To Build Churches" The
story was also printed by Atlanta pa
pers, and now comes a denial on the
part of the editor of the Southern
Christian Advocate. This is useless,
however, as the reply to the article
by Rev. Smith will show. The
church was erected by money do
mated by the town council of Living
ston accrueing from the dispensary
profits; and is in itself against the
constitution of the State.
1t is stated in the original article
that the members Of the church had
agreed to furnish certain sum, but
it was learned this morning on good
authority that the members Of the
church have never contributed one
cent towards the erection of the
church, and that the church was
erected out of the dispensary money
wholly
1t is true that the church has not
yet been accepted by the Methodist
church, but the erection of the
church was under the supervision
of building committee composed
of members of the Methodist church
which the new church was to re-
place, and this is proof that it was
for the Methodist church when the
building started. There is question.
now, however, since the matter has
been published, if the church will
ever be dedicated as Methodist
church, or as church of any de-
for that matter, as it is
contrary to Art IL and Sec. of the
constitution of the State, for public
money to be used in this direction.
Rev. Smith, when seen in regard
to the matter, said that so far as he
was concerned the section of the con-
stitution above mentioned would set
tie the entire matter.-Orangeburg

NO REASON FOR IT
When Bamberg Citizens Show the
Certain Way Out.

Certain Way Out.
There can be no just reason why
any reader of this will continue to
suffer the tortures of an aching back,
the annoyance of uriIar. disorders,
the dangers of diabetes or my kidney
ills when relief is so near at hand and
the most positive proof given that
they can be cured. Read what q
Bamberg citizen says:
D. J. Cain, Church street, Bamberg,
S. c., says: Il suffered from kidney
trouble for two or three years and
during the past six months my condi-
tion became quite serious. / often
had spells of backache which were 80
intense I could not work. For
weeks at time I could not sit down
without first grasping something for
support and then putting my whole
weight on my arms. After lying
down it was impossible for me to get
up without assistance, and might
say that I was as helpless as child.
The kidney secretions were in criti-
cal condition and at times there was
an almost complete retention. All
the doctoring did availed me but lit
tie relief. Recently I began using
Doan's Kidney Pills, which obtained
from the. Peoples Drug Store, and I
am 80 much better in every way that
I cannot praise them enough"

"WANT TO KILL Me-"
S. c. Prisoner Wants to Come Back
Armed.

Atlanta, Feb. 6.-"Leave off the
handouts and give me a gun; then
I'll go back to South Carolina with
out any requisition papers or habeas
corpus
That was the response made by
Munce DeLoach, of Atlanta, when ar
rested upon request of the sheriff at
Saluda, S. c., and told that he was
wanted there for shooting two men
more than ten years ago.
DeLoach knew that his request
would not, could not, be granted, but
that was the only condition, he said,
under which he would willingly go
back to South Carolina for the pur-
pose of standing trial. Because Of
that fact he has instituted habeas
corpus proceedings, through his at
torney, J. A. Branch, which are be-
ing heard by Judge Reid, of the city
court.
According to DeLoach, the shoot
ing for which he is wanted occurred
result of feudal enmity which had
smoldered and blazed alternatively in
the breasts of his family and that of
the Gillians.
Finally, he decided that it was time
either to settle the matter peaceably
once and for all or to fight it out and
put an end to it. He went, he says,
to see the Gillians, told them how he
felt and they agreed that it should be
settled peaceably and they all took
supper together.
AFTER supper" says DeLoach, I'VE
all went up the road together, the
two Gillians and l. Once / turned
and one of the men was slipping up
on me with a knife. A fight followed
and two of them were shot, but not
killed"
DeLoach decided it would be best
for him to leave. He came to Allan
ia, secured employment under his
own name, made no effort at con-
cealment, finally married, and now
has a family and is employed as a
foreman in one of the local cotton
factories.
"They have known where I was all
the time" said DeLOach. They
know they can not convict me and
some of them had said they would
kill me if am ever carried back.
That's what they want! They don't
want to try me" f..
DeLoach says it is fifteen miles
from the railroad station to the Jail
where he will be carried if sent back,
and he says he will be killed before
he gets there if he is not given a
chance to defend himself. That's
why he says he is not willing to go
back unless they take off his hand
cuffs and give him his gun. Then, he
says he will go willingly and take his
chances.
DeLoach doesn't look like a bad
man. but at the same time he has
the appearance of man who would
not finch when death faced him, and
it is safe bet that if granted his re-
quest and allowed to go back with
his gun" he would be amply able to
take care of himself. Since his resi-
dence in Atlanta DeLoach has been
a hard worker and a peaceable citi-
zen.
Governor Smith has been notified
that requisition for the man will
be forwarded at once, but the papers
have not been received. The COVER
nor will fully Investigate the case be-
fore the requisition is honored.

POSTAL BUSINESS BY WIRE.
German Authorities Have Plan to
Telegraph Correspondence at
Greatly Reduced Rate.

Berlin, Germany.-The German pos
tai authorities are perfecting plans
for an innovation of inestimable value
to the business world by which let
ters virtually can be sent by telegraph
at a cost far below the ordinary tele-
graph rates. Any person desiring to
communicate with another in any part
OF Germany has only to write letter
on telegraph form and hand 1t in. 1t
will be transmitted during the night
and delivered by letter carrier on
the first regular delivery the follow
ing morning. The object is to provide
a cheap and fairly rapid means of
communication in those cases where
instant delivery is unnecessary, or
where the messages are too long to
Justify the expense of ordinary teIe-
grams. The rate for the service has
not yet been fixed, but the intention
is to make it so much less than the
present rate of five pfennigs az
cents) word that 1t will invite q
large use of the convenience.

A justice of the supreme court of the

and Illegal abuse Of police powers, and

that their methods are now under In

anythRs inexcusable in government
like this 1t is the disregard of personal
liberty and constitutional rights by the
very forces created by the law to pro
tect that liberty and enforce those
rights. says the Baltimore American.
Unfortunately, there is toe much ig-
norance. both by public officials of the

place and John ID. Rockefeller has be-
come the owner Of it and closed up
the only saloon in Briggsville. The
sale was made through a third party.

II. w. Nichols, agent for Mr.. Rookie
feller, and representative Of the
Lawyers Title Guarantee Company of

cheek to Growth q RerIIn.

Berlin, Germany-The people Of
Berlin have met an unwelcome sur.
prise in the disclosure that the growth
of the city's population has come to a
standstill.
The official figures show that in
1909 the population is 100000, which
is decrease of about $4,000 from
1907. OF the suburbs belonging to
Greater Berlin" all but one show de.
creases. Altogether they and the city
proper aggregate more than 5000, 900.
but the result is disappointment to
the local enthusiasts. who have been
claiming that the city would reach
100000 in the next 25 years. The
decrease is attributed to the depress-
ing effects Of the recent business
crisis.

BAR ICED OYSTERS
Shipping and Serving Without
PIacards Forbidden.
Agricultural Department Rules That
Ice Packed with Raw Product Con-
stltutes an Adulteration--Mixes
with 5lvalve Juice.

Washington.-The agricultural de-
partment, which has charge OF the ad
ministration of the pure food law, has
ruled that ice packed in with raw oys-
ters constitutes an adulteration. That
is. the water which melts out OF the
ice is an adulterant addition to the
oyster juice within the meaning Of
the law.
This decision, which has been ofh-
cially conveyed by the department to
the National Oyster Growers and
Dealers association, is soon to be fol-
lowed by the active enforcement OF
the new regulations which provide
that raw oysters must be shipped In
refrigerated packages where the ice
and the bivalves do not come in direct
contact.
This latest and most curious gov
ernment Interpretation Of "adultera-
tion" will not only considerably in
crease the cost of oysters to the con-
sumers in New York and other large
cities, but will, 1t Is said, drive out
of business many firms and corpora
tions in New York and ON Long Island
and elsewhere which make a specially
of the packages in which oysters are
now almost universally shipped from
Fulton market to the interior of the
country.
Under the new regulation It win he
unlawful to serve raw oysters in
cracked ice at the Waldorf-Astoria,
for instance, unless the sign These
oysters are adulterated" is stuck on
the plate. 1t will be against the law,
too, for a retailer, for example, to
send dozen on the half shell on ice
even to his nearest customer, who
may be waiting only next door.
The big New York oyster dealers
are protesting against the govern
ment's views on the subject Of oyster
"adulteration" 1t is just plain UNI
adulterated "tommyrot,' they say, par
ticularly in view of the fact that the
agricultural department, in its secret
investigation, admits it shipped oys-
ters in ice from Biloxi, Miss. to Den
yer, Col, where the bivalves, at the
end of the long journey, stood all
tests, gastronomic and chemical.
Nowhere, the dealers say, has the
claim been made by the government
or anybody that the use of manufac-
tnred ice infected the oysters or made
them deleterious to health. Some
eastern shippers who use natural ice,
it is said, are responsible for the cru
sade.
The New York dealers with south
ern trade are considering adopting a
form of vacuum container to take the
place of the ordinary shipping tubs.
The oysters will be put in them at a
very low temperature and the con-
tainers will have to be re-iced at
points en- route.

Rockefeller il all right"
Auctioneer Robert F. White a few
days ago sold all Melin's household
effects, including crockery, tables, pic.
lures, books. etc.
Thus ends tedious struggle Mr..
Rockefeller was sure to win, although
Melin gave him long chase. Mr..
Rockefellers money was too much for
the innkeeper, and when Mr.. Rookie
feller bought up nearly all Of Briggs
vile and placed Italians In the
houses with instructions not to buy
anything at Melin's, it was the begin
ming of the end.
Melin's license expired on July /,
and 1t could not be renewed without
the consent of the property owners
within 200 feet AS Mr.. Rockefeller
controlled the situation, it was impos-
sibie for anyone else to get license.
So Melin could not sell the place to
anyone but Mr.. Rockefeller, as it was
of no use to anyone as saloon, and
no one could pay Mr.. Rockefeller's
price.
In closing the saloon Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter has pleased the people in that
vicinity. Melin, now that he has Mr..
Rockefeller's check, is not nearly so
sore as he was.
1t was reported that Mr.. Rockefeller
intended buying all Briggsville and
turning Sleepy Hollow valley into a
big lake. Others say that Mr.. Rookie
feller never destroys anything, and
even Melin's saloon will be turned
Into fats or used as a clubhouse for
the men on his place.
