How He Managed.

A man In an up state county owns a
number OF horses and has great rep.
utatlon for skill in the treatment OF
them. One day farmer who wanted
some valuable information approached
the horse owners little boy and said:
Look here. my little man, when one
of your fathers horses is Ill what does
he do?"
"Do you mean slightly i'll or serious
ly ill?" asked the boy cautiously.
"Oh. seriously ILL.," said the farmer
Because" said the child. "if horse
is only slightly Ill he gives 1t medi-
cine. but If 1t is seriously III he sells
it."--New York Press.

A PROHIBITION Law.
Anti-Saloon League Adopts a Meas
to Introduce.

Spartanburg, Jan. 9.-The Anti
Saloon League of South Carolina met
here yesterday afternoon, elected OFF,
GERS and discussed prohibition bill
that is to be introduced at the COM
ing session of the general assembly.
The Rev. J. L. Harley was reelected
superintendent and all the old OFF,
GERS of the State organization were
reelected.
The meeting was held in the Ep-
worth League room of the Central
Methodist Church. The attendance
was large and much enthusiasm was
manifested by those present. The
committee, which was appointed
sometime ago to draft prohibition
bill, submitted several bills and they
were freely discussed and definite
decision was reached as to the nature
of the bill to be introduced, though
nothing was given out concerning the
measure.
The Anti-Saloon League has deter
mined to make vigorous fight for
prohibition when the legislature con-
venes. Superintendent Harley will
move his headquarters to Columbia
and will be in the thickest of the
battle when the prohibition gun is
fired. There are 21 counties in the
State where liquor cannot be sold
legally and it is the opinion of many
members of the Anti-Saloon League
that the legislature will pass State
wide prohibition bill.

Action Postponed.

I The State board of pardons has
postponed action on the case of Her
bert Boyles from this county, for
whom a pardon is asked. The follow
ing statement of the case was given
out by the secretary of the board:
Eek Parte, Herbert Boyles, Bam-
berg county-Among the papers fur
nished the board in this case we
found only excerpts from the testi-
mony taken from the trial, which
tended to prove an alibi in favor of
the petitioner. The board, however,
was desirous of having all of the tes-
timony taken upon the trial, and
therefore the case was continued un-
til the next meeting of the board, and
we would now respectfully ask that
your excellency will furnish the board
with the entire testimony upon which
the appeal was heard before the
supreme court. With this informa-
ton, I trust that the board will be
enabled to take some final action at
their next meeting.''

Fire Last Monday.

Last Monday morning about half
past eleven o'clock, the handsome
country home of Mr.. Chas. McGe1Ver,
a. few miles from town, was DESTROYED
by fire. Mr.. McGeiver and his wife
were both away, he having come to
Bamberg and she going to Denmark.
Neither knew Of the fire until that aft
ernoon. Mr.. McGeiver was Informed
Of the fact just before leaving town
that afternoon, a gentleman coming
in town telling him Of it.
It is not known how the fire origl-
mated, as the house was locked up
and everybody had been away from
home an hour or two before the
flames broke out. Some negroes on
the plantation saved few articles,
but even these were badly broken.
There was some insurance, but we
do not know definitely the amount.
He places his loss as $4,000 on the
house and 81 900 on furniture, and 1t
is certain that the insurance will not
near cover the loss. This is heavy
loss to Mr.. McGeiver, and his many
friends sympathize with him.

FAvORs PROHIBITION BILLS.
House and Senate Will Pass State
wide Anti-liquor Laws.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 11.-Advo-
Gates of Statewide prohibition in
Tennessee are freely predicting to-
night that such legislation will be en-
acted by both houses of the legisla-
ture tomorrow. Prohibition bills
have passed second reading in both
houses and tonight the two commit
tees on liquor traffic, after a most ex-
citing and largely attended joint
hearing of arguments for and against,
voted to report favorably the bills be-
fore them. The bills are counter
parts.
The day has been one of sensations
in legislative circles. Charges were
made at a meeting of Methodist min
listers that not only was money being
used in large sums in an effort to de-
feat anti-whiskey legislation, but
that beautiful fallen women had
been brought here for the same pur-
pose.
In the senate tomorrow, If mem
bers vote as they did in the crganiza-
ton of that body, the measures pas
sage is assured, II votes being neces-
sary. In the house enough members
have committed themselves on paper
to assure it's passage there. The gov
ernor, it is conceded, will veto the
measure, when the fight will be on
again, with renewed vigor. Only a
majority is required to pass meas
ure over the governors veto.

NEGRO WAS LYNCHED.
Further Details of the Crime in
Florence County.

Scranton, Jan. 11.-Mr. Willie
Price, prominent and reliable
farmer from Hyman, Florence coun-
ty, was here to-day just from the
scene of the brutal murder of Arthur
Davis, and informed the News and
Courier correspondent that the young
negro was taken from his house last
Friday morning by few masked
white men, who after beating him in
a brutal manner, shot him to death.
The negro, for the past year, had been
living on the farm of Mr.. Bigham, a
son of the late ex-senator l.. S. Big
ham, from Florence county, and dur
ing the latter part of the year was
accused by Mr.. Bigham of wilfully
knocking his mules eye out. When
he reprimanded the negro severely,
the latter became offended at the
charge, and neighbors corroborate
the negro's statement in saying that
he is not guilty. This is believed to
be the cause of the brutal crime.
About this time the negro decided
to move to the farm of. Mr.. w. ]. Hy-
man for the year, being day labor
er, and was living there when the
crime was committed. Mr.. J. w. Hy-
man, hearing the alarm from the ne
gro house, hastened to the scene, and
on his arrival at once recognized the
men now accused, and also their
horses and buggy. The parties at once
ran off a short distance from the
buggy into the woods, firing pistol,
by the light of which Mr.. Hyman
easily recognized their faces.
The mother of the dead negro can
identify the men, as their masks &C
cidentally dropped off during the
scuffle with the negro while he was
being taken from his house by the
men. Thes old woman says they
were all white men and live in the
Hyman section.
The inquest will be continued to-
morrow and further evidence obtain
ed, and, in all probability arrests
will be made. The negro bears an
excellent reputation in that section
for honesty, industry and obedience.
The people of the Hyman section and
lower part of Florence county are
greatly incensed at the crime.

TILLM[AN MAKES REPLY.
Charges Roosevelt With Deliberate
FalsehOod.

Washington, January 11.-Great
crowds filled the senate galleries to-
day for the purpose of hearing Sena-
tor Tillman's reply to the accusations
made in President Roosevelt's COM
Imunicatiou to Senator Hale, which
was published Saturday, but which
did not reach the senate officially un-
til to-day.
No more serious araignment of q
public official has ever been heard In
the senate than Senator Tillman's
speech. It was listened to with the
closest attention by the members and
visitors.
Senator Tillman accused Roosevelt
of cunning advertising, coward
Eice," bold and outrageous false
hood" personal malice" hatred,
and of purposely Withholding the
facts in his possession and Of deliber-
ately misrepresenting conditions fol
the purpose of putting the senator In
a bad light before the world, while at
the same time having shown gross
disrespect to Senator Hale's commit
tee as well as extreme discourtesy In
having made the letter to Senator
Hale public before it could be read In
the senate and referred to the com
mittee.
Senator Tillman says the presiden,
makes two charges against him. He
first promotes him to membership II
the Annanias club and second that he
exerted his official influence for his
personal benefit
The senator gives his story Of the
Oregon land transaction. He says NJ
had a right to buy the land, but he
never attempted to deceive anybody
told no falsehood, broke no law, hac
been guilty of no immoral conduct.
It is easy for those who are Vulner
able to convict others on flimsy evl
dence. The president seems to WORE
on that theory. He demands tne
most searching investigation and il
willing to compare his private llfe
and public work with that OF Roose
velt.
