Convicted Oil Concern Pays Fine.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 15.-On
the ground that the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company of Missouri has not
complied with the custer decree OF
the supreme court of the State, in an
answer filed this morning Attorney
General Major filed with the court a
suggestion that the custer be made
effective against the concern. The
action of the attorney general IS
based upon the fact that the company
has not furnished satisfactory evil
dence that it has severed it's connec-
ton with the Standard Oil Com
pany.
H. S. Priest of St. Louis and H.
Clay Pierce, chairman of the board
of the Waters-Pierce Company, to-
day filed in the supreme court OF
Missouri an acceptance of the terms
laid upon the company by the recent
custer order of the court. The line
of $4,000 was paid.
The custer decree provided that
the company must show to the court
that it had severed all connection
with the Standard Oil Company. A
statement to this effect may yet be
required by the court.
Judge Priest, however, said that
he believed to-day's action covered
the case so far as the Missouri cor
poration is concerned.

FIRED INTO TRAIN.
Thrilling Experience of Two Fayette-
vile Men OH A. G. L. Train.

Saturday afternoons Fayetteville
Observer has the following:
Hon. J. C. Shaw, eX-congressman
of this district, and Col. Sol. W..
Cooper, manager of the National
bank of this city returned from a
business trip to South Carolina last
night, and report thrilling expert
ence, the result of an outrageous act.
They were on the train bound for
Columbia and at II o'clock, when
short distance from Florence with
the train running at full speed, bull
let crashed through window, which
Mr.. Shaw was sitting next to, and
not six inches from his head, and
only little further from Mr.. Coop
er, who was sitting next to Mr.. Shaw.
A second before that ball had
crashed through window of the
second class coach just ahead, but
fortunately no one was hurt in either
case.
Only a short time ago prominent
citizen of South Carolina was killed
in this same manner.
This sort of thing makes one feel
unsafe to travel through South Caro-
lima. The train was not stopped and
the person who committed this fend-
ish act was not seen. -

Niagara Falls Frozen.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Feb. IL
Only a tiny rivulet, not, deep nor
swift enough to carry pulp log over
the brink, is flowing over the Amer1-
can side of Niagara Falls. A strong
northeast wind which has blown
since Friday has held back the wa
ter and allowed the ice to gain. q;
foothold.
A great wall of ice runs from the
head of Goat Island to the American
mainland, through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle. Tn1ss
wall has even enoroached on the
Canadian channel, extending our
some 200 feet beyond the Third sis-s
ter Island and greatly diminishing
the flow over the horseshoe. Only
the very apex of the Canadian fall .iss
left and that is robbed OF half its'
flow. The gorge below is choked
and the rapids have lost their fury
while the whirlpool is barely In mo-
ton.
This is only the third time that
this combination of wind and ice. mas:
thus affected the fall since the Wnlte
man came here. The other occastonss
were March 20, 1S4S, and March ~
1908. y

LIQUOR in Aiken Jail.

A very peculiar fight occurred on
Saturday night, in the city jail.
Three of the city prisoners. serving
sentences were in Jail over night.
Saturday afternoon, it was charged,
Jerry Minor visited the jail and gave
the prisoner, Press Dorm, pint OF
whiskey. This pint was augmented
a little later by half pint given by
Maria Kinard to the prisoner, Ar
menia Street. With pint and a half
then IN stock, the three prisoners,
Armenia Street, Amos Myers and
Press Dorm, began to celebrate in
a typical Saturday night manner.
When they were placed in jail they
were allowed the freedom of the jail
room, and not confined to cells. At
ter they had consumed the bottled
goods, they began to get rowdy and
were soon fighting. Dorm struck
Myers in the mouth, and then the
woman took a hand in the fight. An
officer visited the Jail, and Dorm had
to be dubbed and the woman slap
ped to make them submissive.
They were then placed in cells.
The locks being worn on the cell
doors they were soon out in the halls
again. Next time they were placed
in cells with new locks on the doors.
Jerry Minor was given sentence
of SIS or ten days for giving the prls-
oners liquor. Maria Kinard has not
yet been apprehended, but will have
to face the same charge as soon as
she is caught.

bond of ten dollars by failing to an

That Church at Livingston.

There has been quite a stir in
church circles of late over report,
that has been going the rounds of the
press, to the effect that Methodist
church had been built in the town OF
Livingston almost entirely by contrl-
buttons made from the profits OF the
county dispensary. Knowing the po-
sition, hitherto, occupied by the
Methodist church in regard to the
whiskey traffic in all its forms, we
were not inclined to attach any very
great Importance to this report.
Later developments, however, show
to our humiliation and grief that the
report was, in the main correct. L1v-
ingston is a small town In orange
burg county, in the bounds OF the
Norway circuit. Notwithstanding the
fact that Livingston is but a small
town, it appears that the county dis
pensary, at that point does most
thriving business, so much 80 that
the town authorities were not able to
use all the revenue from this source
in public improvements, and conse-
uuently entered into an agreement
with Rev. j. A. Graham, who was
then serving as pastor of Norway cir
cult. to use a certain sum in building
a Methodist church.
How any minister could get the
consent of his mind to build a house
of worship with the funds. that had
been derived by this source is ques-
ton that must ever puzzle every right
thinking man.
Mr.. Graham is credited with say
ing that he accepted this dispensary
money on the advice OF MS
presiding elder, Rev. J. w. Kill
60. Mr.. kilgo, in a private let
ter, says that the matter was never
mentioned to him during his admin
istration as presiding elder of the Or
angeburg district directly or remotely
that his first information that a
church had been built at Livingston
was an editorial notice in a recent is
sue of the Southern Christian Advo-
cate-that he did not even know
there was dispensary at Livingston.
The Methodist church has occupied
very high ground in the matter OF
temperance reform during all the
years of her history. Her warfare
against king alcohol has been con-
slant and unrelenting. She has
waged many hard-fought battles with
the m;nions of the bar and the
brothel, and in this glad hour of VIC
tory, when the arch-fend has raised
the flag of truce and is negotiating
terms of final surrender, to have her
record stained by the folly of those
under her vows and bearing her Gre
dentials is a question that taxes our
natience to the limit. The Methodist
church is in no way responsible for
the faulty judgment and warped
ideals of those responsible for the de-
plorable affair at Livingston, and
will, in all likelihood, at the proper
time and place, repudiate the whole
business. And it goes without say
ing that this church will never be re-
ceived by the annual conference

THE COOPER TRIAL.
Witnesses to Killing will be Called
First.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 15.-On the
eve of the trial of Duncan B. Cooper,
Robin ]. Cooper and John D. Sharp
for the Staying of former Senator +.
W. Carmack, the factions are, hgu-
ratively, resting on their arms. Most
of the witnesses for the State, who
are from a distance, are in the city.
The others are on the way. Mrs. E.
w. Carmack, wife of the slain editor,
arrived tonight and will sit behind
the attorneys for the State. Sam Y:
Carmack, the dead mans brother, and
s. s. Carmack, cousin, are now here.
The State proposes to establish
first the death of Senator Carmack
by the eye-witnesses. Then it Will oe-
gin to lay the foundation for 1ts
theory that the killing was the result
of a conspiracy. Just at this point
will come the big legal battle or the
trial. The defense proposes to ngnt
this contention from the start. The
laws of Tennessee upon conspiracy
are said to be very liberal once the
groundwork is laid, but this founda-
ton must be very strong.

tor was talking when shot; former

will follow, except the broad one OF
self-defense, has not been announced

There is little or no display OF feellng
in public, however.
The court officials have prepared

Hart has ordered that only as many
as can be accommodated with seats
will be admitted to the court room.
No tickets will be issued, and tnose
who arrive:irst will get the prizes.

The Governor Fighting Against Being
 Brought to Trial.

Tulsa, Okla, April 5.-Governor Charles N. Haskett, when called be- fore the federal court today to an- swer the indictments charging him with fraud in connection with the Muskogee town lot cases, made hard fight against the case coming to trial. Judge Marshall of Utah. presiding. heard extended arguments by both sides in the matter of Haskelrs de- murrer and will likely render a de- cision tomorrow.
 Governor Haskells attorneys began their fight by asking that the indict- ments be quashed, charging Special Attorney Rush with misconduct in conducting the grand jury inquiry, which resulted in the indictments: it also was charged that the grand jury had been illegally drawn. that a stem ographer had been present during the inquiry and that incompetent testi- mony had been the basis of the in- dictments.
 These allegations were vigorously denied by the government counsel. A great crowd attended the opening of the trial. People came from all parts of the state to see the unusual spec tacle of a governor on trial for alleged fraud.

of the association, the price is cheaper than any similarly desirable piece of property that has been offered. and the building fronts on the direct roads from the farm lands. west. north and east.
 The terms of the sale will suit the convenience of both parties and in re- spect of the Water Users association it is a particularly fine arrangement. There is ample money for the first payment now available and before the rest of the payments fall due 1t is expected there will be ample funds from another special source to meet the situation. namely, from the govern ment which is now conducting nego- tiations in condemnation of the Lee ranch in the Roosevelt basin. which ranch was bought by the association for several thousand dollars some time ago. in order to settle the contention between the government and the Lees. What the appraisal of the Lee ranch will be as a result of the condemna- tiOn proceedings can not be stated with certainty. but it will surely be sufficient to meet the payments on the building lot. The association, in a sense is therefore trading a ranch it has no use for. for a building site it is very glad to secure. while the Y. NJ. C. A is finding a good customer at a good price and with ability for certain payment.
 The reclamation service will be giv- en offices in the water building free, a natural proceeding when one stops to think about it. The reclamation of fees have already been considered in the estimates for the federal building, but it will be more desirable to have these offices in the same building with the Water Users association. for oth erwise much of the work would have to be duplicated or extra help would be necessary in the reclamation offices. Moreover. the federal building will not be finished for a long time vet, and, in the meantime. rent is being paid for the offices of both the reclamation service and the Water Users associa- ton that would in ten years amount to the cost of the proposed building. And the rent paid for the reclamation service is charged back to the project. as also would be the extra clerk hire in the event the reclamation offices were established in the federal build ing. so by giving the reclamation of- fees free rental it is only lessening the size of the bill the farmers will have to pay eventually, and suiting the convenience of all concerned.
