Assessments Raised by Committee.

The State Democratic executive
committee decided to increase the as
sessments on candidates entering the
race for various State Offices. The
raise was made because there is very
little money now in the treasury. The
matter was left with special sub
committee and after going into the
matter thoroughly their report was
adopted, although there was some
opposition to it at first by Robert
Lide, of Orangeburg, who thought
that the expenses of the committee
should be cut down.
The old assessments provided that
candidates for governor should pay
an entrance fee of $50, other State
officers $3.50, solicitors $25 and
congressman $50 each. The new as
sessments provide for 1925 each for
for congressional candidates, $50
for other State officers, $50 for lieu
tenant governor and SIS for gov
ernOr.

CALHOUN CONVITS WHIPPED
Sensational Report Investigated by
Order of Judge Sease.

St. Matthews, May 1S.-Somewhat
of a sensation was sprung here this
morning when the report was circu-
lated that the chain gang officials bad
brutally and inhumanly beaten the
negro, Murray, and several others,
who were sent out to the gang yester-
day morning.
Murray is the biggamist sentenced
to five years at hard labor, and is far
above the average in intelligence. 1t
was noticed that he looked depressed
over the outlook. The matter was
called to Judge Seases attention, who
is now presiding at court here. He
Immediately dispatched committee
of the grand jury to the scene to in
vestigate. Their findings were read
in open Court upon their return,
which it is understood, fully exoner-
ated the gang officials. The whip
ping left no wounds except a few
whelps on the skin Of two of the con-
victs. Mr.. Robert Murph, the gang
"boss," said that Murray and his
pals in crime were "mulish" all day
long, but that he did not administer
any punishment until the tent was
reached at night. He also denies en-
phatically that every new convict is
initiated" by corporal punishment
as routine proceeding. That there
are now men under his charge who
have never been touched with the
lash, and that he avoids the use of it
whenever possible.
Mr.. Murph is from splendid fam
lily, and bears the reputation of be-
ing a quiet, peaceable and humane
citizen.

HOSPITAL FOR ORANGEBURG.
Plans of Charleston Ladies Likely to
MaterialiZe.

Orangeburg, May 18.-A long felt
want is about to be filled as a hos
pital for the city seems to be assured.
For several days Misses A. B. Mar
shall and E. B. Cook, graduate nurses
of Charleston, have been in the city
in conference with the people, and
this morning was held a meeting of
the city council, at which these ladies
were present and outlined their plans
for opening a hospital here. They
also sought aid of the council and re-
ceived considerable encouragement
from the individual members. The
matter was referred to the health
and charity committee with instruc-
tion to look into the organization and
operation, and if satisfied to pledge
for the city the sum of $50 per month
for operating expenses.
The hospital will be private en-
terprise of the ladies named, but
they will not close the doors to in
digent patients, but will take them
and so far as possible minister unto
them.
For several years very active ef-
forts have been made here to raise
funds to build a hospital, but up to
this time without success. 1t is now
believed that those most active in
this behalf will give their influence
to the private undertaking.

MURDERER BROUGHT BACK.
jim Williams, Who Shot Wesley Ben
jamin Eleven Years Ago.

Weary of his wandering life, Jim
Williams, a negro, who on March IL,
1899, killed Wesley Benjamin, porter
of the State library, confessed his
crime to an officer of the law in Nor
folk last week, and is now behind
the bars of the Richland county jail.
The crime occurred on the sidewalk
in front of the old Wright's hotel,
now the Caldwell.
According to the testimony of the
Witnesses at the time of the homicide.
it seems that the men had quarreled
during the afternoon, and Williams,
in company with his brother. met
Benjamin in front of the hotel about
s o'clock. Williams drew pistol
and, disregarding the entreaties Of
his brother, fired at Benjamin three
times, two shots taking effect. Ben
jamin died the same night about II
o'clock. Williams forthwith made his
escape, through the office of the ho-
tel, and out of the back way, and his
whereabouts were unknown until his
surrender to the Norfolk police on the
anniversary of his crime.
Williams, since the night OF his
fight, has seen quite bit of the
world, according to statements made
by him to Sheriff Coleman. He en-
listed as private in the regular
army, being attached to the Ninth
cavalry, and saw service in the Phil
ippines. After serving his enlistment
of three years he drifted over the
country, spending while in Salt
Lake City, Utah, finally winding up
in Norfolk, where he entered the navy
and where his confession was made.
He voluntarily surrendered himself
to the Norfolk officials, saying he was
tired of the life he had been leading.
The case will probably be tried at
the ensuing term of the court of gen.
eral sessions, which convenes here on
Monday next. Many of the witnesses
of the homicide are dead now and
some no longer reside in the city.
One of the eye-witnesses was Geo. l..
Drury, a corporal in the First Rhode
Island regiment, then in camp here.
Another was H. J. Casey, proprietor
of a bus line, now dead. The late
DR.. William Earle was an important
Witness State.

SCORE GOVERNOR.
Independent Tennesseans Denounce
NJ. r. Patterson.

Nashville, Tenn, May 1S.-Gov.
NJ. R. Patterson and the State Demo-
cratic executive committee were bit
terly denounced to-day in speeches
and resolutions, by perhaps the larg-
est mass meeting of voters ever held
in this city, called foY the purpose OF
protesting against the action of the
governor and executive committee in
attempting to force all judiciary can
didates to submit their candidacy in
the general primary of June 4. This
action of the committee was contrary
to precedent and resulted in several
of the catdidates for the supreme
court and court of civil appeals an
nouncing themselves as Independent
candidates.
The convention to-day, at which
more than 5000 delegates were pres
ent, nominated a full judiciary ticket
and appealed to the voters of the
State to refuse to participate in the
primary on June 4.
Gov. Patterson and the executive
committee were "unqualifiedly de-
nounced and condemned" for their
efforts "to overcome and coerce the
supreme court of the State in the de-
cision of a case pending before it,
this reference being to the Cooper
case.
Eulogistic references to the late
Senator Carmack elected prolonged
applause, while every denunciatory
reference to Gov. Patterson was
greeted with great enthusiasm.
The judiciary tickets indorsed were
as follows:
Supreme Court-W. D. Beard,
Memphis; NJ. NJ. Neil, Trenton; j. K.
Shields, Chattanooga; D. L. Lansden,
Carthage, and Grafton Green, Nash

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food?

The farmer of today buys much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results IN
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the cii,'
to increase the amount Of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity Of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands.

She Made the Indian Mind.

One Of the gentliest-appearing,
most feminine of women in the In
dian field is Miss Flora E. Harvey,
who fills the chief seat of authority In
the Pima boarding school at Sacaton
Arizona, says Francis E. Leupp in
The Delineator for June. Yet she
is as resolute as Hannibal, and has
to credit the subjugation of the worst
male pupil in big non-reservation
school where she formerly served.
He was a tall brawny Navajo about
twenty years cid. The Navajo are
among the Indians all of us love best;
but the very characteristics which
especially attach us to them make
them when cantankerous the ugliest
fellows to handle. This boy, whom
we will call John because 1 have for
gotten his Indian name, was asked
by Miss Harvey to perform some duty
to which he objected. She repeated
her request more in the form OF an
order, but he was obstinate and as a
number of spectators had gathered
it became plain that an issue had
arisen which would not down until
one or the, other of this oddly as
sorted twain was the acknowledged
victor.
Miss Harvey did some rapid think
ing. Then she led John into room
Where they could be by themselves,
he going with her because she clever
ly couched her summons in such a
form that to hang back would have
been interpreted by his sympathizers
as a symptom of fear. He accepted
her invitation to sit down on COM
mon wooden chair drawn up at a
heavy table. Then, when his legs
were bent under the table and his
body pressed close between the back
of the chair and the edge of the table,
she stepped quickly behind him, and
planted one of her feet on the rear
rung of the chair and both OF her
hands firmly on the top of the back.
"Now." said she, ''are you ready
to do what I told you to-"
The lad. grunted negative. Miss
Harvey released one hand just long
enough to box his ears with it quick
ly. He attempted to rise and resent
the blows, but found it impossible.
Any reader who doubts this may with
a little trouble make test which
will convince him that Miss Harvey
has her prisoner securely pinned
down.
Thus the good woman passed a
large part of the afternoon, alternate
ly repeating her demand in an un-
rufled tone and boxing the culprit's
ears at each refusal. At last he re-
allied that he was defeated, and like
a good sportsman yielded with the
best grace at his command.
