CHRIsT's LETTERNAs TO
CHURCHES Of CANTON

In his sermon Sunday evening in the
First Christian church Rev. p. H.
Welshimer advanced a theory of i'm.
portance to the Seventh Day Adven.
lists, theory that the second com.
ing of Christ has already taken place
Jesus wrote only one letter in all
his life and that one is the finest in
the Bible" said he, 1T was written by
John at the dictation of Christ on the
lonely island of Patmos in A. d. Sc to
the seven churches of Asia.
But that letter was written as much
to the churches OF Canton as to the
churches of Asia, and the one thing
above all others it warns you of is
baclsliding."

Johnstown, Pa, Oct. S1.--Twelve
men were killed and two others prob
ably fatally hurt by an explosion OF
dynamite in Franklin No. 2 slope OF
the Cambria Steel company tonight.
Not single member of a track lay.
ing gang Of IA men employed in the
slope will probably be able to tell
the cause of the explosion, for the
only survivors are at the point of
death in the Cambria hospital.
Mine officials are of the belief that
large quantity of dynamite, used in
mine excavations, exploded. All the
men we're mutllated and burned so
badly that their Identification can be
established only by the time checks
and reference to the pay rolls OF the
company.

USE BUFFALO FOR FARM
Eastern League Club Said to Be One
for Cincinnati Team.
IN sun Leased WIG.

BY Sun Leased Wire.
New York, Oct. 81 For the first time
in its baseball history, Buffalo will be
a farm" next year. The Eastern
league club in that city has made a deal
by which 1t will be able to use the sur
plus players of Herrmann's Cincinnati
club. Hermann's manager, Clark Grif-
fifth, has been instrumental in landing
William Smith of Atlanta on the Buffalo
bench for next year and in return for the
favor the Cincinnati club win enjoy the
privileges of a farm in the Bison city.
incidentally, 1t is said that Hermann is
the man who switched the Buffalo club to
the support of p. IT. Powers in the recent
struggle for the Eastern league presi-
dency and that Hermann used his in
tiuence because he was under obligations
to Powers in several ways.
MaGnate Stein of Buffalo. meanwhile,
may be said TO be in a quandry. He did
not want to vote for Powers and always
was opposed to the farming evil but it
appears that the political cyclone which
swept through the Eastern, league cir
cult the other day was entirely too much
for him.

.HEYDLER TO Be OUSTED
Hermann Says That He Is "Not Big
Enough" for Job.
By Sun Leased Wire.

BY Sun Leased Wire.
New York. Oct. a.-Although John A.
Heydler generally is regarded as a cap
able successor to the late President Pull
liam of the National league it is under
stood that Hermann, who seems to be a
busy baseball politician, is opposed to his
reelection at the meeting in December.
Hermann for some season says that
Heydler is not big enough" for the posi-
tion, but this does not seem to be the
impression in other quarters. whether
Hermann has a candidate or not one can
not say just now, but 1t is accepted as
true that Hermann is supported in his
contention by Murphy of Chicago and
Ebbetts of Brooklyn.
But there are no indications on the
surface that Pittsburg, Boston, Philadel-
phia and st. Louis will consent to the
turning down of Heydler. Brush, of
New York, is non-committal It is said
that he has a candidate for the position
but that the latter stands alone. c. ID.
White and James A. Hart, close friends
OF A. q. Spalding. have been named as
compromise candidates while several other
office-seekers are lining up. Heydler is
not campai gning In hts own behalf He
has the support OF the Baseball Writers
Association of America

State BOrroWs Money.

Arrangements have been made by
the State of South Carolina to borrow
s500,000 at rate of interest of 8
per cent. There were several banks
bidding for the loan and the offer
of the Palmetto National bank of Co.
lumbia was accepted.
The fact that money can be obtain
ed much cheaper than at any time
during the past six months is shown
in the list of bids submitted, as nc
bid was over four per cent. 1t is be-
lieved that the bid accepted is the
lowest rate of interest on which any
loan has ever been made in this
State or to bank in the State.
The State is allowed to borrow
$500,000 each year, and there have
been few, if any, years in which the
limit was not reached since this be-
came law. 1t will be necessary to
borrow about half of this at once on
account of the pension money, which
will be paid out Immediately.

Smith Talks on Tariff.

Washington, April 23.-Senatol
Smith made speech in the senate
to-day on his favorite subject Of cot

statement of about three minutes. He
gave notice that at the proper time
he would offer an amendment to put
cotton bagging and ties on the free
list. The new senator was very de-
liberate at first, as if feeling his way
in the new atmosphere, but before he
closed his brief statement he began
to fire up as If he might initiate q
Calling gun If they fooled with him
much. They did not do this, how
ever, 80 it was all peaceful. He
pointed out the injustice to the cot
ton farmer Of having to pay the
freight on cotton bagging across the
Atlantic and back and then pay a
duty on it, and expressed the be-
lief that when the senate understood
the question it would agree with him
and take this duty off.
Senator Tillman returned to
Washington to day from New York
where last night he made an address
before a society in New York called

LEGAL HANGING AT CHESTER.
Lawson Addison Executed for Murder
of Two Negro Women.

Chester, April 23.-Lawson Addi-
son, colored, was hanged here at
1925 o'clock to-day for the murder
of two negro women at a church,
near Lowryville, this county, in Au-
gust, 1906.
The killing for which Addison was
hanged to-day was one of the most
brutal crimes ever committed in this
county. It took place near church
while services were in progress. Ad-
Olson met the two women on the
highway while they were going to
the church, which Addison had arbi-
trarily forbidden. On sight of them
he Immediately opened fire and the
women fell on the public road within
a few feet of each other. The muir
derer then fed and was at large until
September, 1907. when he was
caught at Salisbury, N. c. At the
fall term of court for this county Ad-
Olson was tried before Judge John 8.
Wilson, convicted and sentenced to
die on January II, 1908. His at
torneys at once fled notice of appeal
to the supreme court. This appeal
was abandoned, however, short
time ago, and at the recent term of
court Addison was resentenced to
death, Judge Wilson fixing to-day as
the date Of the execution.

Rather Fight Than Feed EN-.

Fifth Texas captured two whole reg

were all very proud of their achieve
ment. J. B. Policy was one of them.
and in his "Soldier's Letters to
Charming Nellie" he describes an
amusing scene in connection with
the surrender.
When the Yankee officers surren.
dered their swords in body to Col.
Upton they were so prompt in the
duty that he was compelled to lay
down the frying pan which he car
ried in place of a sword, and hold
the weapon presented in mis- arms.
Just then he noticed a commotion
at the far end of the captured regi-
ments. That was near the timber,
and a squad of the prisoners were
making an effort to pass by big
John Ferris" of company B, who
stood there unaided, endeavoring to
interrupt them.
Springing up on log, the armful
of swords dangling about in every
direction, Upton shouted:
"You, John Ferris! What are you
trying to do now?"
I'm trying to keep these fellows
from escaping" returned Big John,
in a strenuous voice.
LET them go, you Internal fool!'
shouted back Upton. WED sight

Drunken Men on Trains,

Columbia, April 23.-There is
much complaint over the State from
time to time of men in a maudlin
drunken condition being allowed to
ride on passenger trains in violation
of special statute recently passed
on the subject, and women passen-
gers have been particularly annoyed,
especially at holiday times.
The members of the railroad COM
mission are of course powerless to
remedy these conditions unless indi-
vidual cases are brought to their at
tention, and almost invariably pas
sengers prefer to grin and bear dis
comfort rather than figure in making
a complaint. The commissioners
would be glad to have cases Of this
kind brought to their attention, so
that they can follow with investiga-
tions.
A complaint reached the commits
sion to-day from Mr.. A. R. Fontaine,
of Bars station, on the Augusta-Co-
lumbia line of the Southern, who
says that on the 10th, while he and
his family were passengers on this
line the Pullman conductor elected a
drunken man from the Pullman and
brought him into the day coach,
where he was allowed freely to swear
in the presence of a number of ladies
before they moved to another
coach. Mr. Fontaine offers to give
the name of the obstreperous passen-
ger. His letter was referred to Su-
perintendent Williams for investiga-
ton.
