Maine Goes Democratic.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 12.-There
was no uncertainty in the voice with
which Maine to-day recorded her
preference for governor, and her atti-
tude on the issues of the campaign
generally, the plurality given Fred
erick K. Plaisted, of Augusta, Demo-
crat, being decisively large, while
three of the four congressional dis
tricts, which are ordinarily strongly
Republican, returned Democratic can
didates.
Early returns also indicated that
the legislature might be Democratic
and elect Democrat as successor
to United States Senator Hale.
In the face of the sweeping Demo-
cratic victory, the Republican lead
ers were overwhelmed with surprise,
and the magnitude of their success
astonished even the most sanguine
Democrat.
1t was the first beating the Rcpub-
licans of Maine, the state of Blaine
and Reed, has had in 80 years and
by a coincidence Harris NJ. Plaisted,
father of the present state candidate,
was Names last Democratic COVER
nor, in the year 1881.

Breeding Cotton With Okra.'

While California has Luther Bur-
bank, who, by the process known as
cross-breeding, has produced wonder
full fruits and flowers, Kinds county,
Miss, has citizen, Easton c. Jones,
who is developing the cotton plant,
and has already performed some mar
yelous feats with corn. 1t appears
that Mr.. Jones, whose farm is three
miles from Jackson, has been expert
menting with corn for IA years and
gets from six to IA ears to the stalk
and yield that runs from $50 to 200
bushels to the acre.
In recent years he has been cross
breeding okra with short staple cot
ton. and it is claimed that he has sue
ceeded in producing a long staple OF
the finest texture and endurance. we
are told that last year he planted ~
acres in the cross-bred cotton and
gathered a crop of 94 bales. MI
Jones is quoted as saying that some
of this land produced three bales 10
the acre, and he feels that he has
lost money if he does not get at least
two bales off the poorest kind of land.

Constable's Slayer to Hang.

Greenville, Sept. 16.-For the muir
der of Officer Waldrop, at Piedmont
about two months ago, Bunk Sher-
;rard, young negro, was to-day SEN
fenced by Judge Gary to hang on the
first Friday in October. Sherrard
was one of a group of crap shooters
which a party of officers, including
Waldrop, was attempting to arrest.
Sherrard had a shotgun, and while
the officer had hold of him fired the
weapon. There was considerable ex-
citement over the affair and a posse
searched the woods for him for two
days. The negro was convicted last
Thursday, but tainted as the sent
ence was about to be delivered. This
will be the first hanging in this coun-
ty in a number of years.

LOOKING OVER THE EDISTO.
The River Being Examined by United
States Officials.

Inspector Whitscarver, Of the Unit
ed States engineer department at
Charleston, started Saturday to make
an examination of the Edisto river
which it is proposed to improve from
Orangeburg down with the construc-
ton of a canal to the Ashley, short
ening the distance by water to
Charleston. Mr.. Whitscarver will
make sounding and measurements on
his trip.
The Charleston Evening Post says
Capt. E. NJ. Adams, the engineer Of
ficer, will also make trip over the
river and an examination of his own.
He is not yet prepared to give the
date but he will shortly make the
trip to this city, confer with the busi-
ness interest and then go down the
river. His r. Communications for the
improvements will follow his exami-
nation.
We hope that Capt. Adams, after
making this trip and looking over
the report of Inspector Whitscarver,
will be able to make a favorable re-
port and recommend that the work
be done. 1t all depends on his re-
port and recommendation, both of
which, of course, will be founded on
the prospective benefits to be derived
from the expenditure of the money
that it will take to do the work.

DRIVEN TO DESPAIR.
DIR. HI. G. Rutter, Tortured by Incur
able Disease, Commits Suicide.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 17.-Driven
desperate by an incurable disease
which caused him endless torture,
DR.. H. G. Rutter, former superin-
tendent of the Columbus State Hos
pital for the Insane, native Of Viz
ginia and an international authority
on insanity and nervous disease,
committed suicide here to-day.
Accompanied by his wife, DR.. Rut-
ter came to Cleveland three weeks
ago on a visit to some friends. Last
Wednesday he disappeared and all
search for him was fruitless until this
afternoon when he was found in the
lobby of a down town hotel in dying
condition as the result of some un-
known poison which he had taken.
He expired while being taken to a
hospital.
DR.. Rutter was the author of sew
eral books on mental diseases, the
most noteworthy of which was Grim
inal Responsibility in the insane -
which was quoted extensively at the
Thaw trial.

Incubator Babies Die.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 17.-Charged
with the death of two babies in an
exhibition incubator at the State fair
here, DR.. Douglass Snyder, of Pitts
burg, was arrested tonight at Jeffer-
sonville, Ind, just across the Ohio
river. Twelve warrants were sworn
out late to-day by County Attorney
Bullitt, of Louisville, on the charge
of statutory offense, and the arrest
was made by Chief Of Police Wall, OF
Jeffersonville. Dr.. Snyder made the
statement during the day that the
babies died because he was unable
to give them the proper attention
while making the trip from Chicago
to Louisville. The babies, it is un-
derstood, came from a Pittsburg
charity hospital. They were on ex-
hibition for the four days.
The deputy coroner found as re-
suit of his investigation that the ba-
bies died of inaction.
The wife of DR.. Snyder was arrest
ed tonight, charged with being an
accessory.

KILLED BY TRAIN.
Old Negro Woman Steps in Front of
Locomotive and Meets Death.

Marion, Sept. 15.-Hettie Bac-
chus, locally known as Aunt Het-
tie" was at an early hour this morn
ing killed by a Marion & Southern
train near the Marion County Lum-
ber company's mill mile from
town. She was coming to Marion
and to save time came through the
mill yard. One of the lumber sheds
is very near the track and it is sup
posed that the old woman, without
hearing the approaching train on
account of the noise the mill was
making, stepped from the shed on
to the track just in front of the
train.
Aunt Hettie was one of the good
old negroes and her death was the
occasion of genuine regret among
her friends, both white and colored.

CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
G. NJ. Bradt, of Havana, gives Some
Interesting Facts

George NJ. Bradt, native of Chat
tanooga, Tenn, but for the past 10
years publisher of the Havana Post,
arrived in New York from Havana
recently.
Conditions in Cuba are 100 per
cent. better tha people in the United
States Think" said Mr.. Bradt. up
here they are inclined to get excited
over reports of revolutionary move
ments that we don't know exists un-
til copy of an American newspaper
falls into our hands. President Co.
mez is making an exceptionally good
executive, even better than his
friends had hoped.
"Cuba's business for this year will
break all records. The question OF
annexation will have to work itself
out. 1t is not generally known, but
true, nevertheless, that 5000 Cuban
young men and women are receiving
their education in the United States.
AS they return to the island it may be
readily seen what a great influence
they will have toward Americanizing
Cuba"

Not a Charitable Institution.

This newspaper is in no sense a
child of charity. 1t earns twice over
every dollar it receives, and it is Sec
ond to no enterprise in contributing
to the upbuilding of the community.
Its patrons reap far more benefits
from it's pages than its publisher, and
in calling for the support of the COM
munity in which it is published, it
asks for no more than in fairness
belongs to it, though generally it re-
ceives less. Patronize and help your
paper as you would any other enter
prise because it helps you, and not
as an act of charity.

Killed by His Own Son.

Chester, Pa, Sept. 16.-John j.
Evans, proprietor of the Edgmont
hotel, this city, was murdered to-
night while asleep in his room. His
son, Richard, aged 10 years, was ar
rested charged with the crime and is
now in the county Jail at Media.
Early in the evening Evans went
to his room to lie down. AS he did
not return to the Office at his usual
hour, VIM. Nickerson,, a magistrate
in the second ward, went to the room
occupied by Evans to awake him.
When he opened the door he was
Mortified to see the pillow covered
with blood and a gaping wound be-
hind Evans's left ear. The police Of
ficials were at once notified and a
physician was summoned, but the lat
ter reported that Evans had been
dead for at least an hour.
Suspicion pointed to the son who
had been about the hotel early in the
evening but who had not been seen
around the hostelry for nearly two
hours. Search was at once made
for the boy and he was found late
tonight at Elwyn, small town about
three miles from this city. The po-
lice officials state that it is their be-
lief that the murder was committed
while the lad was temporarily insane.

Columbia Will Lose Hospital.

Columbia, Sept. 17.-'The State
Hospital for the Insane will be
moved from Columbia" said DR.. j..
w. Babcock, the superintendent of
the institution, tbut that time is
possibly score of years away
This statement was made in dis
cussing the fact that the asylum COM
mission would soon select site for
an additional asylum to relieve the
congested condition of the old insti-
tuition.
DR.. Babcock went on to explain
that it was the history of asylums
that they were always moved from
thickly populated centers to the ru-
raj districts. He named many IN
stances, notably in New York and
Massachusetts,, where institutions OF
a similar nature had been forced to
the country districts by the increase
in population.
The asylum commission will meet
in Columbia on September 80 when
site for the new institution will be
decided upon. When the first meet
ing of the commission was held there
were 81 sites offered for considera-
ton. Eli but six or seven have been
eliminated and it will be from these
that the permanent site will be Sc
lected. The site is to contain not
less than 1000 nor more than 5000
acres.
DR.. Babcock and the other mem
bers of the commission have worked
strenuously during the past several
weeks in making the selection of
site. The commission is very able
one and it's selection will no doubt
meet with general approval through
out the State.
The new asylum will very proba-
bly, be used for negro patiens or at
least the most serious cases of ne
groes. Later however, the plant
NAV be increased and the asylum
may be thus gradually moved from
the city of Columbia.

BOTH CLAIM NOMINATION.
Two Georgians Will be Voted on for
Congress in General Election.

Athens, Ca, Sept. 1.-THE fight
between Congressman VIM. Howard
and Col. S. J. Tribble for the eighth
district seat in the national house
of representatives will be decided
by the voters of the general election,
with both candidates laying claim
to the Democratic nomination. In
the recent primary Tribble received
a popular majority of more than 500
votes and on the face of the returns
had a majority of four votes in the
convention, under the county unit
system. The district executive COM
mittee, because of alleged irregularl-
ties in Elbert county, threw out 10
votes, thus changing a Tribble ma
jority of four votes in Ebert county
to a majority of eight for Howard
and giving the latter the convention
vote-four-of that county.
The Ebert county executive COM
mittee disregarded the district COM
mittees action and named Tribble
delegates to the convention. How
ard delegates were also named by the
district committee.
To-day the convention met to can
vass the vote and declare the noml-
nee. Tribble's friends took possess
sion of the convention hall, and
amid the widest confusion nominat-
ed Tribble, who accepted in a brief
speech. Then Tribble's followers
left the hall and after a call of the
counties showed Howard to have a
majority Of four votes, he was for
mally declared the Democratic nomi-
nee. He too, delivered a short
speech of acceptance.

PAYS $40 FOR ONE CENT.
Highest Price Ever Paid for a Coin
of That Denomination.

Henry Chapman, a numismatist,
paid s34O for a one-cent piece at an
auction in New York city a few days
ago. The price, according to deal
ers, is the largest ever paid for a
penny. Two hundred and seventy
five dollars is the biggest previous
price which could be remembered.
The coin was struck in the year
1898. 1t is of the Liberty cap
variety, and was formerly owned by
Peter Mougey, the grocer-numismat-
ist of Cincinnti..

The editor of a Georgia newsp

The editor of a Georgia newspa-
ner remarks: "A man never realizes
the superiority of woman so much
&C when he is sewing on a button
without thimble, pushing the needle
AGAINST the wall to get it half way
through and pulling it through the
other half by hanging on to it with
the teeth" He evidently knows
what he is talking about.
