DOCTOR SOLD COCAINE
Wel-known Laurens Physician Con
yicted and Fined for It.

A dispatch to The State from Laur-
eas says DR.. C. L. Poole, well known
physician of that city was Tuesday af.
ternoon found guilty il the mayors
court on a charge Of selling cocaine
Mayor Babb imposed a sentence OF
500 fine or of 80 days in prison. Dr.
Poole gave notice that be would pay
The mayor announced that the de-
fendant would be tried tomorrow on
q like charge. The witnesses are ne.
81 1oes who are alleged to have bought
the drug from the accused.
The conviction OF DR.. Poole caused
a mild sensation. It comes as g
climax to long series OF efforts on
the part of the authorities to place
responsibility for the sale of a large
amount of the drug to negroes In the
city.
A package of the dust which Dr.
Poole is alleged to have sold to a ne.
gro who was arrested as he was leav'
ing the premises Of the defendant q
few nights ago, was analyazed by a
Columbia chemist, who testified al
the trial that the sample submitted
was cocaine hydrochlorate.

LAID TO NO one
MYSTERY OF MYRTLE HAWKINS
DEATH UNSOLVED.
Torn Fragments Of Paper Are Now
Authorities Hope to Obtain Glue
to Identity Of Guilty Persons.

A special dispatch to The State
from Hendersonville says the testi.
mony of fifty witnesses has not solv'
ed the mystery of the death of Myr.
tie Hawkins, whose body was found
in Osceola lake thirteen days ago
but who was not drowned.
The coroner's jury Wednesday
ound from the testimony introduc-
=. that she came to her death at the
lands of some unknown person or
.,eisons in q manner and by means
unknown This differs from the YER
dict in the first inquest by making
the case one Of murder.
Immediately after the verdict was
rendered it was announced that the
Hawkins family offered g reward Of
$500 for the arrest and conviction OF
Miss Hawkins slayers. Added to the
other rewards offered or promised,
this makes a total Of $4,000.
DR.. W. r. Kirk, coroner, said the
investigation would be continued. and
if any additional evidence is discover
ed a special grand jury will be en-
paneled to consider it.
There remains three possibilities
of new evidence. Torn fragments of
paper bearing an unfamiliar hand
writing were found in Miss Hawkins
room and have been sent to Washing
ton to be put together. On the shore
of Osceola lake, near where the body
was found, there has been discovered
a piece Of manila paper, blood-stain-
ed and bearing finger prints. The
finger prints may be identified as
those of somebody concerned in che
crime.
1t is expected that Mrs. Bessie
Clark Guice will be arrested as she Is
thought to know something about
Miss Hawkins death. A warrant has
been issued for Mrs. Guice in another
county, accusing her Of having per-
formed the same kind Of criminal
operation, as it is said was attempted
on Miss Hawkins. One of the prin-
cipal efforts of the inquest was direct
ed toward finding who was response
BILE for Miss Hawkins condition.
Testimony that she was seen with
George Bradley, recently married
man, after she disappeared from
home was contradicted, as was the
testimony concerning other suspi-
ciouS circumstances.

STRUCK BY CRUISER
THE LARGE STEAMER OLYMPIC
HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Despite Effects Of Warship's Special.
ly Designed Ram, Great Ocean Lin
er Survives the Shock.

The great steamship Olympic of
the White Star line which left South
hampton, England, about IL o'clock
Wednesday with a large crowd Of re-
turning tourists, lies off Calshot cas-
tie at the entrance to Southampton
waters with a gaping hole in her side
as the result of a collision with the
British protector cruiser Hawke.
No Lives were lost, and of the q
900 or more passengers and crews OF
the vessels, not one was even injur-
ed. There also was no panic. The
accident took place few miles from
where the American liner ST. Paul
and the British cruiser Gladiator col
lided nearly four years ago.
The Olympic left her dock at 11.25
o'clock Wednesday morning, steam
Ing at a moderate rate eastward on
her way to Cherbourg to pick up the
continental passengers. She already
had on board nearly LOO persons,
excluding the crew. The first cabin
passengers were just answering the
cali to lunch when attention was at
tracted to the Hawke which was un-
dergoing steam trials.
The warship, moving at great
speed, followed the Liner, but appar-
emily was quite clear of her but sud-
denly she swerved and before the
passengers could realize what was
happening, struck the liner on the
starboard quarter near the stern,
tearing through section about 40
feet in extent.
The miracle is that the Olmypic
was not sunk, as the Hawke is fitted
with ram especially designed to
sink a.. vessel in spite Of its water
tight compartments. The liners
frame stood the shock well, and the
watertight doors, which automatieal-
ly closed, held the compartments her
metically sealed. The Olympic listed
slightly to starboard but not to a suf-
fcient angle to cause any serious
alarm.
So far as can be learned the Hawke
suffered no more severely. Curiously
enough - feet of her upper deck was
twisted out of all recognition. The
stem appears to be completely gone.
The engines of both ships were stop
ped Immediately, and as soon as the
watertight doors were secured the en-
zines were set astern and the vessels
drew apart. The Hawke sent wire
less messages for tugs and remained
alongside until they arrived to con-
vcy her to Southampton, where she
dropped anchor. ;.
Many theories are advanced as to
the cause of the collision, but gen.
orally the warship is blamed. 1t is
suggested that the cruisers steering
gear failed to act. The naval officers
and the officers Of the Olympic are
Withholding comment until the in
quiry which the admiralty will insti-
tute Immediately. The cruiser pro-
ceeded to Portmouth under her own
steam.

HELD UP A NEGRO.
4 White Man and Negro Attempt
to Commit Robbery.

Near Allendale two men one white
and the other negro, made a bold
attempt at robbery about three
o'clock Wednesday morning, when
they drew revolvers on Richard B1y-
ant, a negro, who lives on ". F.
Googe's plantation, near the ceme-
terry, as he was going to town to mar
ket a bale of cotton. Just as Bryant
was passing a thicket the two high
waymen stepped out in front OF him
with revolvers and demanded that ne
halt. They then proceeded to search
him, but found nothing, and ordered
the negro to move on. The ROBBERS
are still at large and there seems to
be no clue as to who they are.

Will BE IN RACE
SENATOR TILIMAN CERTAIN TO
ASK REELECTION.
He Is More interested in His Farm
Operations Than Politics just Now

Though.
The Columbia Record says Senator
Tillman spent Wednesday in Colum-
5ia on personal business, passing
most of the ime with his friend, DR..
Babcock. He returned to his home
at Trenton on the afternoon train
and carried with him two real pitch
forks.
The Senator bought the pitchforks
uptown and had them sent down to
the union station for him at train
time They were wrapped up in pa
per until they were unrecogniZable,
and when he told Dr.. Babcock what
they were the doctor insisted they
ought to be unwrapped and carried
openly by the senator, so the paper
was taken off and Pitchfork Ben
toted the two pitchforks home on
the train without any concealment.
Two of the Senator's friends, Con-
gresham Lever and Mr. R. I. Man
ning, happened to be present and as
sisted in the opening up of the char
acteristic package. It was seen that
the tines were tipped with gold and
the senator WIS twitted about hoist
ing the gold standard, against which
he used to proclaim eloQuently in the
days of ''16 to l or bust"
But the Senator is very much more
interested in pitchforks agricultural
than pitchforks political. The news
that there will be at least one candi-
date to oppose him for reelection,
Col. W. J. Talbert, does not seem to
have disturbed him at all. Senator
TilIman expects to stand for re-elec-
ion to make at least a few speeches,
ife his health is no worse than it is
now, and if he is better he may
make a good many speeches.
The Senator enjoys meeting the
people and only the strict orders OF
his physician and Of Mrs. Tillman,
who has always been his chief advis-
er, have prevented him from going
around more this summer. 1t is his
determination to offer for fourth
term in the senate. That may be
set down as certain.
If Senator Tillman; is rejected or
renominated in the 1912 primary, he
will on the 4th Of March, 1913, be-
gin his fourth term as senator from
South Carolina. Having served as
governor from 1891 to 1895, he was
first elected to the senate in 1894
20 succeed Gen. NJ C. Butler and took
his seat on the 9Th of March, 1895.
He was reelected in 1900 and again
n 1906, both times without opposi-
ton.
Col. ". Jasper Talbert, formerly
congressman, has announced he will
oe a candidate for senator next year,
no matter who else runs. Governor
Blease has announced that he will be
a candidate for senator if Senator
Tillman is not in the race: otherwise
he will seek reelection as governor.

guilty" was returned early Wednes-

A dispatch from Chester says das-
tardly attempt to wreck the north
bound passenger train on the Caro-
lima & Northwestern. railroad was
made at Crowder's trestle just over
