INVESTIGATING FIGHT.
Army Officer Probing Fort Fremont
Shooting.

Beaufort, May 15.-Maj. Geo. F.
Mauldin, U. S. A., who is at Fort Ere
mont on inspection duty, is making a
thorough investigation of the shooting
of six soldiers belonging to that gar
rison last week and the circumstances
leading up to the shooting. A re-
ported called on Major Mauldin to-
day and asked if there was any in
formation other than that already
secured or any expression Of opinion
that he could give out.
The officer stated that he had moth
ing whatever to say in regard to the
affair and that the information he
had secured could be given only to
the department at Washington.
The post surgeon states that there
is no change in the condition. of Pri-
Yates Quigley and McNally. The 9TH
er four men were only peppered with
small shot and their cases were never
considered at all serious.
Men are still restricted and checks
are taken during the night to see
that none leave the reservation. The
soldiers are still restless and some
make open threats of what they will
do if they get sight of Potter.
McGhan says that the cutting OF
Potter occurred on their reservation
and was caused by his discovery that
Potter, with whom he had been
drinking all the evening, had his
hand in his pocket trying to steal his
money which angered him to such an
extent that he pulled small pen
knife from his pocket and cut three
or four gashes across the negroes
ear and head, inflicting cuts which
were closed with seven or eight
stitches. A corporal on duty that
night had only few minutes before
ordered Potter off the reservation, it

The officers have 80 far been unable
to get Will Potter, though they have
located him several times, always to
find that he had just left when they
got there, sometimes having to leave
a part of his clothes to get away.

LEWIS w. PARKER TESTIFIED.
Mill President Witness In Cotton
"PoOl" Investigation.

Washington, May 14.-Lewis W.
Parker, of Greenville, was a witness
before the Senate committee on the
high cost of living, which to-day be-
gan an investigation here into the
operation Of the bulls" and "bears"
on the cotton market of the country.
Mr.. Parker's answers to the questions
put to him were clear and to the
point. He replied without equivoca-
ton to the interrogations propounded
and gave the members Of the COM
mittee considerable light on the sub
ject of how cotton markets and ex-
changes of the United States are to-
day conducted. Most Of the questions
asked him were put by Senator Smith,
of South Carolina, at whose instance
the investigation now under way is
being held.
Mr.. Parker was on the stand for
about two hours, and covered in his
statements a very large number OF
subjects relating to the growing and
handling of cotton throughout the
country An important point brought
out by him was the fact that some
time back he purchased big lot OF
cotton on the New York market,
amounting to about 5000 bales.
When he had needed the cotton and
asked for it the question arose as to
what extent he would be protected by
insurance after the cotton had been
delivered to him, and before it could
be removed from the warehouse, for
once having it rendered him the in
surance ceased.
He tried to find some way to pro-
tect his interests, he said, and dis
covered that it was the plan of the
warehouse men to keep every avail
able bale of cotton in their houses for
the reason that the New York market
was lower than those in the South,
and that every time consignment OF
cotton was removed from one Of these
places their owners had to go South
and buy at higher rate, to replace
the stocks that had been thus re-
moved. The price of the staple has
accordingly been raised. Other cot
ton operators characterized as bulls
will appear before the committee
Monday.

Sensation in Navy department.

Washington, May 14.-That the
tension in the navy department be-
cause Of the disagreement between
Secretary Meyer and Paymaster Gen
eral Rogers over the navy supply
fund has now reached the breaking
point became a general topic of dis
cussion here to-day, Supporting this
idea, the Washington Star this after
noon printed the following story:
"steps for the reorganization Of
the bureau of supplies and accounts
of the navy department, of which
Paymaster General Rogers is the
chief, have been taken by Secretary
Meyer.
81. Mendenhall, an expert account
ant, has begun an investigation OF the
business methods of the bureau and
will report direct to the Secretary.
It is said he is expected to suggest a
change in methods of administration
more in accord with the views of the
head of the department, who Is known
to be dissatisfied with the existing
sytem adopted by Admiral Rogers. 1t
is freely predicted that sweeping
changes in the personel of the bureau
are in contemplation.
"In his testimony before the Sen
ate naval committee, Secretary Meyer
charged Paymaster General Rogers
with practical refusal to carry out his
orders, and with criticising the de-
cision of Attorney General Wicker
sham, when he decided that the naval
supply fund, as maintained by the
bureau of supplies and accounts, was
illegal. Mr.. Meyer also referred to
the hysteria that existed in the bu-
reau of supplies and accounts, due to
misunderstanding"
More interesting developments are
momentarily expected, and it Is not
improbable that a new chief of the
supplies and accounts bureau may be
named soon.

New. York, May 15.-Through the
crowded lanes at Central Park at
breakneck speed, taxicab with a
swaying CLASSY eyed chauffeur at the

foot farers and carriages this after
noon, pursued by mounted policemen

on a sharp turn it impaled itself with
a crash on the front springs of linn
CUISINE coming in the opposite direc-
ton.

100000, and her daughter, Annie,

O'Connell shot around turn into
the limousine with such speed that
his car, in skidding, burned the COW

Poisoned Children in Childish Anger

Demopolis, Ala, May 15.-The
victims of poison administered by a
1O-year-old negro girl, employed as a
nurse, the 3-months-old daughter OF
David Collins, a wealthy planter, died
to-day and a second child of Collins,
2 years old, is in serious condi-
ton. The negro girl, who seems un-
concerned about her crime, says she
poisoned the children because their
mother refused to allow her to go on
an excursion to Birmingham. The
Marengo county Jail. where the girl
is under arrest, is heavily guarded
against possible attempt to lynch
the negress.

HIS FINAL REPORT.
japanese Officer Keeps Record of His
Death.

Death news from the bottom of the
sea, showing a degree of heroism
self-humilation seldom encountered
even in naval circles, is recounted in
and transmission published in the
London Times of message written
by Lieut.. Tsutoma Sakuma, who was
in command of the Japanese subma-
rine No. s, when it foundered last
week while maneuvering in Hiro-
shima bay, all on board being lost.
In the message, which was found
In the coming tower of the subma-
rine when it had been brought to the
surface, Lieut.. Sakuma explained
that he alone was to blame for the
disaster to the craft. and the death
of fellow officers and men. He de-
scribes in detail the heroic and almost
superhuman efforts that he and the
doomed men with him made to save
the submarine and their own lives.
The message was as follows:
'.It is with the deepest regret that
I write this message/to describe the
loss of this boat. with my fellow
officers and men, due to my own

engine running, but as 1 found she
went down too far, l tried to shut
the valves which admit the sea water
to the ballast tank, but Unexpectedly
the chain working these valves
broke, and 1 was left helpless, un-
able to control the boat.
meanwhile the tanks were filled
with water, and the boat went down
at an incline of about twenty-five
degrees. After striking the bottom
the water began rushing in, the
switchboard was immersed in water,
all electric lights went out, the fuses

DEAD MAN CAME TO LIFE.
And the Mourners Are Frightened
Nearly to Death.

Near Carthage, N. c., Uncle Virgil
Jones, a typical "'fore de war" dar-
key who was recognized as a pa
triarch among the negroes of the
neighborhood, died. Following the
custom prevailing among the negroes
in the country, especially, a big
crowd sat up with the old fellows
body all Sunday night. They went
to put his body in the coffin Monday
morning, the room being crowded
with negroes, mourners and others,
one hundred and fifty or more in all
being in the house and waiting in the
yard.
Suddenly as one of the watchers
went to reach for the body, indicat-
ing to his aides to lay hold AID help
lift it, the old fellows eyes opened,
his withered arm went out and up
in warning pose and veritable
voice from the dead exclaimed in
sepulchral tones that struck terror
to the heart of every negro specta>
tor, 'Not yeti"
It Is said that there was never
a more complete stampede known.
Instead of being overjoyed at the
manifestation of returning life for
the old patriach, whose departure
they were mourning, the affrightened
screams were heard. for miles about,
the negroes piling out Of the place
through every conceivable crevice,
some leaping right up through the
roof of the low cabin, carrying the
boards off as they forced their way
out.
It was asserted in a letter from
most reputable citizen that 1t Is Ger
tain that some of those negroes have
not stopped running yet. The letter
did not say what the extent OF the
resuscitation Of the old negro was or
whether he Is still living.

To the white voters of Bambert

To the white voters of Bamberg

The campaign will soon be open
and I desire to say to my friends In
the Second Congressional District that
I shall be a candidatefto succeed my
self to the 62nd Congress in the pri-

dispel the erroneous idea In the minds
of a few, created by recent exagger-
ated reports that my capacity for ef-
fective work had been diminished by
reason Of i'll health.
Realizing by experience that Rep
resentative's usefulness is In direct
proportion to his length of service, l
feel that I am better qualified to
serve my constituents now than at
any time in the past and, if I am re-
turned to Congress they shall receive

gained by reason of participation In
public affairs.
Like other members Of the minority
party in Congress I have been handt-
capped, and as result Of partisan
action some of the plans I have for
Improvement in our district and
State for which I have labored most,
have not been disposed Of yet, but
sharing in the belief Of my colleagues
that democratic ideas of government
will prevail in Congress after the No.
vember election, l am more anxious
than ever to be a member of the next
Congress and consummate the work 1
have already projected in the interest
of our district.
am deeply grateful to my friends
for their past friendship and support
and hope to be honored with it again.
am enjoying good health and am
very much alive to the needs and well
fare of my constituency and, if hon
ored with the nomination, pledge
the best efforts of both head and
heart to your service.
Yours very truly,
