Interesting Case in Court.

Columbia, Sept. 29.-The circuit
court of Charleston has been revers-
ed in peculiar and interesting case
by the supreme court in an opinion
written by Associate Justice Woods.
The case decided was that of the
Southern Seating and Cabinet COM
pany against the First National bank
of Charleston. The question of two
checks was involved. Bishop H. P.
Northrop was indebted to the South
ern Seating and Cabinet company to
the extent of $500. He sent a check
to the company of payment of that
amount on the First National bank.
The check was never presented. He
later wrote another check upon re-
quest of the furniture company for
$500 to be paid, the amount of the
first check to be refunded should it
ever be presented. Although Bishop
Northrop had $4,000 on deposit in
the bank, the second check was re-
fused. The case was carried to the
circuit court and the bank was sus
tanned in its contention. The case
was then appealed to the supreme
court with the result that the cir
cult courts decision is reversed.

Used Hatchet on Negro's Head.

In a row that arose over woman,
John Baker, a negro, 68 years old
cleft the skull of John Woodson, an
other negro, many years his junior,
with a hatchet last night about 8
o'clock. Woodson was taken to the
Taylor-Lane hospital in dying con-
dition. Baker made his escape.
The affair occurred on Liberty Hill
at house where Baker, Woodson and
the woman, whose name could not be
learned, lived.
At least three hours elapsed be-
tween the time the fight took place
and the notification of R. D. Walker,
coroner. By the time he arrived on
the scene. Baker and the woman both
had departed for parts unknown. Mr..
Walker took the dying declaration of
Woodson, which, in brief, was that he
and Baker had fought over the wo-
man and that Baker struck him with
hatchet.
The wound, which is expected to
prove fatal, is on the left side of the
negro's head, just back of the ear.
An operation was performed last
night at the Taylor-Lane hospital in
a desperate attempt to save his life.
Woodson is a paper hanger by
trade, while Baker, the old negro,
who used the hatchet, is a carpenter.

TALK ON SENATOR.
Ansel, Parker and Lever are Now
Mentioned.

That B. R. Tillman will not seek
reelection to the United States Sen
ate is practically assured. Close
friends of the United States Senator
say that his health will not permit his
return to active politics.. Those who
have visited Senator Tillman recently
give the opinion that he is preparing
to retire on his Trenton farm. 1t can
almost positively be stated that he is
through with politics in this State.
according to intimate friends. Sen
ator Tillman's health, however, is
very much improved.
Naturally the question follows:
WHO will go to the United States
Senate to succeed B. R. Tillman."
There have been many names sug-
gested for the place and many
changes in South Carolina politics
are liable to take place in the space
of two years. There is an effort to
build up several political possibilities
along this line.
Will Ansel Run?
Among those who have been men
toned as likely to declare themselves
for the position are Gov. NJ. F. Ansel,
A. F. Lever, congressman from this
district, and Lewis w. Parker, Of
Greenville. These named have not
said positively that they would con-
test for senatorial honors yet
Gov. Ansel has stated that he in
tended to go back to Greenville when
he leaves the Office of governor and
resume the practice of law. He was
for many years solicitor in the Pied
mont section and has a broad ac-
quaintance.
Gov. Ansel is not a man to talk
politics and has never intimated that
he would follow the game after leav-
ing the Office of the chief executive of
the State. Yet he is one of those
mentioned.
Lewis W. Parker is the best known
and one of the most capable mill Of
fcers in the country. He has been
remarkable success in everything that
he has undertaken. His name has
been mentioned many times for the
senatorship because it is believed that
eventually the political fever will
catch him. ..
A. F. Lever, congressman from this
district, is also mentioned as possible
candidate for the position. He has
never made statement but two
years ago was mentioned and was
considered a dangerous opponent.
There are others who might be
mentioned, R. Goodwin Rhett, mayor
of Charleston, being among them.
The contest is two years away and
right for the position.

VICTIMS OF GOLD BANDITS.
American Tells of Being Held for
Ransom IN Italy.

Details of daring hold-up by
armed brigands, while they were Wis
iting Italy, we're told today by Robert
A. Bolt, an insurance operator, OF
Boston, upon his return from Europe
with his wife and daughter, Alice.
After Mrs. Blot, by a clever ruse, had
saved her jewels from the robbers,
Bolt and his brother were held as
hostages until his wife could visit the
villa to obtain money for their ran
som.
The robbery occurred near Vallom-
brosa, where Edward Bolt, a brother,
has villa, at which his relatives were
visiting during an automobile tour.
The bandits, armed with guns, rushed
out of the shrubbery, demanding
money.
While Edward Bolt parleyed with
them, Mrs. Bolt quietly slipped all her
rings from her fingers and dropped
them in the bottom of the automo-
bile. The men surrendered about $50,
but the bandits demanded more. Mrs.
Bolt was ordered to- the villa to pro-
cure $3.50 and while she was gone the
men were held prisoners.
When Mrs. Bolt returned with
about 500 the bandits seized it and
fled. All efforts to capture them
failed. The hold-up, says Mr.. Bolt,
was the first that has occurred in that
part of Italy in a century.-New York

A Mothers Gratitude
Many a Mother in Bamberg Will APP

preciate the Following.
Many strong man and many a
healthy woman has much for which
to thank mother. The care taken
during their childhood brought them
past the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Children
are generally bothered at some period
with incontinence Of urine, and In
ability to retain it is oftimes called 8
habit. 1t Is not the children's fault
the difficulty lies with the kidneys,
and can be readily righted If taken
in the proper way. A Bamberg
mother shows you how.
Mrs. L. B. Fowler, Bamberg, 8. c.,
says: my daughter suffered from
weak kidneys for several years due
to an attack Of fever. She had but
little control over the kidney secre-
tions and often said that her back
panied her. Another member of the
family had used Doan's Kidney Pills
several years previous with great
benefit, 80 I finally went to the Peo-
pies Drug Co. and procured box.
In a few weeks after my daughter
began using Doan's Kidney Pills she
ceased to complain and now she has
no trouble from her kidneys what
ever. We never fail to recommend

MINERS PERISH.
One Hundred and Fifty Entombed in
Mine at Paula, Mexico.

Eagle Pass, Oct. lone hundred
and fifty miners, possibly more, are
entombed and believed to be dead in
mine No. 2, at Paula, Mexico, in the
Las Esperanzas mining district, op-
Grated by the National Railway lines
of Mexico, as a result of two eX-
plosions. presumably because of an
accumulation of gas last night and
early to-day. The men entombed are
mostly native and Japanese miners,
although the victims are said to in
clude several Americans.
At the time of the explosion the
entire night shift, estimates as the
number varying from $50 to 5000.
were all at work Of these none had
reached the surface at late hour
to-day. In all probability all are
dead.
The second explosion occurred
shortly after a rescue party had de-
scended. That this was killed is
thought certain.
However, information reaching
here is not official. No official state
ment has been issued.
William Hollis, mineral agent for
the government railway, under whose
supervision the mines are conducted,
has proceeded to the mines.
Paula is located near the town of
Musquiz in the State of Coahuila.
An explosion occurred in the same
mine year ago, several hundred
Mexican and Japanese miners losing
their lives at the time.

Will Extend Its Line.

Orangeburg, Sept. 30.-Since the
project of opening the Edisto river
has met with such favorable encour-
agement, Dr.. Sam muel Dibble, owner
of the Branchville & Bowman rail-
road. has announced that just as soon
as the river is open and ready for
NAVIGATION he will have his railroad
extended to the banks of the river,
which will afford almost direct water
transportation to Branchville and
Bowman. This will mean much for
these two towns and surrounding
communities.

TWENTY.NINE LIVES LOST.
List of Sailors Supposed to Have Been
Drowned.

New York, Oct. 2.-There was
given out at the battleship New
Hampshire tonight list Of 29 mer
who were supposed to have persisted
by the swamping of barge or whale
boat which was being towed to the
vessel at anchor in the Hudson river
last night. Appended to the list arc
the names of IS men who are still
absent but who were not recognized
as having been in the swamped boat
Capt. Thomas S. Rogers, in COM
mand of the New Hampshire, gave
out the list with this brief introduc-
ton:
THE following is the list of the
men missing from yesterdays liberty
party, who are thought to have been
in the boat that swamped last night.
Only two Southern men are in the
list. They are: A. Mampley, coal
passer, Richmond, Va, and NJ. T.
Seals, electrician, first-class, Colum-
bus, Ga.
1T is not certain comments Capt.
Rodgers, that these men were lost.
as two of them originally on the list
returned to-day"
All day police boats dotted the
cove in the river above west One
Hundred and ffty-seventh street,
their crews graphing for bodies.
But their efforts were without sue
cess, not one body was recovered.
Old river men said they were not sur
prised, as when the accident occur
red, they declared, the tide was run
ming up stream like a mill race with
a brisk wind out of the southwest
puhsing it along at even faster clip.
This would take the bodies far be-
yond the scene of the disaster and
possibly it will be several days before
any more are found.
Midshipman Chevalier, who was in
charge of the swamped boat and who
collapsed after saving IL men, is still
shaken after the extreme mental and
physical strain.
R. Karl, one of the men supposed
to be drowned, is credited with hav-
ing saved four men. Karl was big
husky fellow and a good swimmer.
In the water he held up two men
until two life preservers came his
way. He gave these to the weaker
two and then swan around and found
two other men who were exhausted
and sinking. These two he held up
until they were picked up by boat.
Still, regardless of his own safety, he
did not attempt to get aboard for fear
of overlooking it. Nobody seems to
have seen him afterwards. The ac-
count of his bravery was given by his
shipmates.

JACKIES DROWN.
Estimates of Number Dead Vary
From Three to Thirty.

New York, Oct. 1.-Several sailors
from the battleship New Hampshire
were drowned by the upsetting of a
tender in the North River off 152nd
street tonight. Estimates of the
dead vary from three to as high as
twelve and possibly 80, but as no Of
fetal count had been made of the
number aboard the tender and as
many men have shore leave it was
impossible to accurately fix the list of
missing tonight.
The sailors were returning to the
New Hampshire after shore leave
and more than one hundred of them
it is estimated, had crowded aboard
the tender, which was being towed
to the battleship. About 800 feet
off shore the craft either swamped
or was upset and the entire load of
jackies was precipitated into the
water.
Boats were Immediately put out
from the New Hampshire and where
ever a bobbing head showed a man
was resucued but in the darkness sew
eral sank and others were almost
unconscious when dragged to safety.
On board the New Hampshire 81
with wet clothes were counted, indi-
eating merely that sixty-one had been
saved and leaving blank more Sc
rious gap of possible dead. AS 25O
men from the ship had shore leave
tonight there was no way of ascer-
tanning just how many were aboard
the tender. Several sailors who were
in the upset tender hesitate to esti-
mate the number lost, although those
inclined to take more serious view
of the affair placed the list as high as
thirty; others refused to be commit
ted.
No information could be obtained
aboard the New Hampshire. The
men who were rescued were hustled
below and the officer on deck said
that an estimate of the dead was out
of the question tonight. Midshipman
Godfrey de Chevalier who had charge
of the tender, was taken from the
water unconscious and is in the
ships hospital. 1t is reported that
he personally saved Is sailors before
exhaustion overcame him.
The New Hampshire, with her Sis
ter of the North Atlantic fleet, is an
chored in the Hudson in the northern
part of this city, having arrived at
New York this week after target
practice off Hampton Roads.
Rear Admiral Schroeder on the
Connecticut and Rear Admiral Vree-
land on the Louisiana, both agreed
that it would be impossible to tell
how many men had been drowned
until nine o'clock roll call tomorrow
morning. Neither of them would
comment on the accident.
