"STANDPATTER"
Meets DEFEAT
Judge Prouty, the Progressive,
Wins by Large Vote Over
Congressman Hull

DIES MONIES. Ia, June S.-With five
counties missing tonight, Governor
Carroll, republican, is renominated by a
majority of zoe votes. The missing
counties are Carroll strongholds and
probably will bring his total UP to
1900
The surprise of the election is the
s,IOe majority rolled up by Judge
Prouty, progressive, over Congressman
Hull. Even the most sanguine progress
sive had hoped for little better than
small margin. Two years ago Hull was
nominated by 40 votes over Prouty.
The remarkable shift is attributed
solely to antagonism to the course OF
the stand pat congressman, of whom
Hull was one on tariff and railroad
legislation.
The defeat of Garst by so small a
majority is held to indicate the gen.
eral sentiment of the state on the ma
tional affairs, despite the fact that
Governor Carroll insisted that he was
running on his state record only Two
years ago Carroll was nominated over
Garst by %, 200 votes.
Practically complete returns tonight
show the following congressional nomi-
nations; the second district democrats,
at first believed to have chosen De Ar
mond. nominated l. S. Pepper:

In the eleventh district the demo-
Gratis made no formal nomination, but
the name of VIII I. Whiting was writ
ten into the ballot and he was chosen.
Regular" republicans claim that
they will control the next state con-
vention. having a bare majority of the
] 400 delegates chosen yesterday. II
this proves true and no hitch occurs
to mar present plans, the insurgent
congressional delegation will at best
get but brief mention. The platform,
1t is said, may go so far as to con-
denim the course of Senator'S Cummins
and Dolliver.

Colored Troops Will Remain at
Fort Lawton Though Seat
tie Citizens Protest
Negro Soldier Who Attacked
White Woman Turned Over
to Civil Authorities

w WASHINGTON, June S.-The presi-
dent has fatty refused to accede to a
demand from the citizens of Seattle,
Wash, transmitted through Senator
Jones, for the removal of the Twenty
fifth infantry (colored) because sol
dier is accused of assaulting a white
woman.
The reason for the presidents action
is contained in the following state
ment, issued by Secretary Dickinson:
Senator Jones of Washington pre-
sented to the president this morn
ing telegram from S. S. Steiner.
chairman of mass meeting held
near Fort Lawton, stating that
member of the negro regiment
there had committed an outrage
and demanding the immediate
transfer of the Twenty-fifth regi-
ment.
The president stated that the re-
quest could not be complied with;
that If any members of the regi-
ment had violated the law they
over to the local authorities for
punishment The United States
troops were to be stationed in the
United States, and it was the bust
ness OF the war department to see
that they made as little disturbance
spossible, but to move them on
improved charges would be merely
to impose them upon another COM
munfty and might arouse protest
from such community.
The secretary of war sent word
to the commanding officer at Fort
Lawton directing prompt and COM
plete investigation, confinement of
offenders and detention of wit
nesses, If belonging to his COM
mand, and that in view of the state
of feeling reported his command
should be confined strictly to the
reservation pending complete in
vestigation. An immediate report

Standpatters JubiIant

WASHINGTON, June S.-The report
ed victory of the standpat candidates
for governor in the republican prima-
ries in Iowa and of the two regular re-
publican candidates for congress, Wal
ter /. Smith and c. A. Kennedy, against
whom the insurgents under the leader
ship of Senator Cummins made their
strongest fight, caused jubilation in the
camp of organization republicans at the
capitol today.
Smith, who was renominated in the
ninth district, is a member of the rules
committee of the house and one of
Speaker Cannon's stanchest supporters.
1T was Judge Smiths great personal
popularity that overcame his record on
the house rules fight in the primaries
Yesterday was the insurgent view of
the results, as voiced by Representa- :
tive Murdock of Kansas. Insurgents
scored a net gain of two in the prima-
ries, and the results bespeak the prog
ress of insurgentism."

Farmer Takes Life.

Dillon, Oct. 24.-Dew w. Rogers,
of Pages Mill section, committed
suicide Friday afternoon, about 2
o'clock, by drinking two-ounce vial
of carbolic acid. He gave no 1nti-

Charlie Lindler Receivers.

Lexington, Oct. 21.-One Of the
most remarkable recoveries perhaps
known to the medical fraternity is
the recovery of Charlie Lindler, a
Dutch Fork farmer, who was acci-
dentally shot by his brother-in-law,
J. Frank Shealy, three weeks ago to-
day. It will be recalled that Mr..
Lindler and Mr.. Shealy were chasing
a wild steer in the pasture of John
o. Dreher in an effort to rope the
animal. This proving futile, it was
decided to use shotgun, and the two
men surrounded the steer in dense
swamp, one going on one side and
one on the other. Mr.. Shealy, not
seeing his companion, fired at the
fleeing animal. The shot missed its
mark and part of the load lodged in
the chest and stomach of Mr.. Lindler.
The injured man was carried to his
home, several hundred yards away,
but not until he had lain in the
pasture several hours. DR.. Knowl-
ton, of Columbia, was called in con-
sultation with the family physician,
DR.. J. w. Wessinger, and an examin-
alton of the wound revealed the fact
that the intestines had been punct-
ured in six places. An operation was
performed at once, it being the only
hope of the physicians to save the
life of Mr.. Lindler.
To-day Mr.. Lindler is getting along
nicely and unless something unfore-
seen arises, it is stated that he will
soon be entirely well.

BEHEADED THIRTY THOUSAND.
Chinese Executioner Has Killed That
Many People.

Thirty thousand Cinnamon have
lost their lives under the blows from
the sword of the public executioner
in Canton, China. He knows nothing
of the electric chair, the hangman's
moose, or the guillotine. The crimi-
nal who is condemned to death in the
Celestial empire gets short shrift.
He is directed to the place OF
death, kneels down, and ducks his
head we'll forward. The executioner
who is armed with a two-handed,
double-edged fiat sword, takes his
place and with one blow sewers the
criminals head.
Then the next steps up for the
same summary treatment. And they
have been going some, for the exc
cutioner is only 60 years of age and
has been in the business not more
than half his life.
The executioner IS about six feet
four inches tall and his sword weighs
about 20 pounds. He is proud OF
his trusty blade and declares it new
er takes more than one blow to kill.

An Heiress Misses One Great JOY.

I suppose it is matter of temper

author of "The Autobiography Of An
Heiress" in The Delineator for No

very much-certin1y not very long.
My cousins used to tell me that
l said so only because I had every
thing wanted before I knew I want
ed it, and, so far as outside things
are concerned, that was true enough.
I did live-and may still live-in a
charming house; I have been able
to afford myself the surroundings
that please me. To wear purple
and fine linen and fare sumptuously

man in the Bible, is no novelty

for pretty clothes, should infinitely

place would have done it better!

PENDANTS GETS ~ YEARS.
Slayer of Wimberly Sentenced by
Judge Moss.

St. George, Oct. 20.-John Pen
darvis, the young man charged with
the killing of Charles C. Wimberly,
was this morning sentenced to serve
twelve years in the State peniten-
tiary, the jury having yesterday af-
ternoon convicted him of manslangh-
ter without recommendation to mer-
cy.
The court room was we'll filled
when the convicted man was brought
in shortly before the noon recess.
He heard the Judgment of the court
without any outward sign of disap-
pointment or unrest. In fact he has
maintained an air of silence through
uot the trial, having failed to take
the stand in his own behalf.
When Pendarvis was asked wheth-
er or not he had anything to say be-
fore sentence was passed upon him,
NJ. S. Connor, of counsel for the de-
fence, made a short plea for lenl-
ency for his client, and Judge Moss,
in passing sentence, took occasion to
make a few appropriate remarks,
which contained some good, whole
some advice for the convicted man.
Just what the next move of the
attorneys for the defence will be is
not known. They failed to give no.
tice of their intention to ask for a
new trial. 1t has not been determin-
ed positively whether or not the
case will be carried to the Supreme
court, though it is generally under
stood that further efforts will be put
forth in an effort to secure the re-
lease of the convicted man.

BLAMES OPERATOR.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury Places Re.
sponsibility for Wreck.

Mccormick, Oct. 1.-THE blame
for the death of the victims Of the
Charleston & Western Carolina wreck
which occurred near here yesterday
was placed on Browder, the telegraph
operator at this place by the coroner's
jury which to-day held an inquest at
the scene of the collision
The facts elected at the inquest
showed that the train dispatcher had
given orders for the two trains Nos.
2 and to meet at Mccormick.
Browder failed to give orders to the
conductor of train No. 8 allowing the
train to clear from the station before
the arrival of No. 2, the result being
the headon collision half way between
Mccormick and Plum Branch, the
next station.
Browder states that he pulled the
semaphore on the receipt OF order
to hold train No. 8 at Mccormick and
thinking the danger slgnal nao
worked, he proceeded with his other
duties laying the train order on his
desk. He says that the semaphore
failed to work, leaving train No. 8
a clear signal. He was busy with an
unusual rush of ticket sales and
thinking the danger signal was dis
played did not hurry about giving the
conductor his train order. AS soon
as he could he started to find the con-
ductor and was dismayed to find that
the train had pulled out of the sta
tion and that only it's tail lights were
visible. In a few minutes the crash
of the colliding trains was heard al.
though distant about two miles and
a half.

A PATHETIC LASS.
Deserted Girl Found Ragged and
Homeless in Beverly.


A pitiful case of 16-year-old girl
wandering about the country, with
out any home; and sleeping out in
the open, came to the attention OF
Marshal Stuck last night, while on
his beat
Nearly exhausted, her hair was dis
heveled, her clothes ragged and her
shoes worn out. She gave her name
as Ella Brown, and said her parents,
with whom she had lived, 10 miles
from Vincentown, quarreled with her
and sent her out into the woods to
earn her own living.
AS she had never been five miles
away from her home in her life, she
kept on walking. She did not kno"
when she had been driven from
home, but said: 1T seems good
long while ago."
The marshal took the girl to May
or Roberts, who advised that she be
taken to St. Josephs Home for the
Aged, but there admittance was re-
fused her because she was too young
to be received in the institution.
After a long search for someone to
take the girl, the family OF John
Hamilton, on the Burlington road,
was found to want a servant and
they took her in.-Beverly d1spatcn
