Trouble in the Street.


Trouble in the Street.
The correspondent of the News and
Courier says one of the most unfor-
unate and deplorable tragedies In the
history of Aiken occurred there Fri
day afternoon at O'Clock, when Mr..
James Seigler shot and instantly
killed officer Wade Patterson, one of
the oldest and most valued members
of the police force Of that. city. There
we're several eye-witne-ses to the
tragedy, but ther refuse to be quoted.
The story centers around dog be-
longing to the dead policeman. 1t
seems that Mr.. Seigler had been
playing with the dog, when the ami
NAL became enraged and bit, or at
tempted to bite, Mr.. Seigler, where
upon the latter became incensed and
kicked the dog. This drew warn-
ing rebuke from officer Patterson
who reminded Mr.. Seigler that he
had trifled with the animal. Mr.. Seig-
Ter. it is said, replied to the warning
BY curang several times an0 the OF
flcer threatened him with arrest.
This seems to have closed tbs In
cident. The t.Io men then separated.
Mr. Seigman walking into the store
of Mr.. John Overstreet, entering
through the side door from Park aV-
enue. Officer Patterson walked to
the Main street entrance of the same
store, where the difficulty was re-
newed. Words passed, which 1t
seems provoked considerable profan-
ity from Mr.. Seigler, and for this Mr..
Patterson arrested him. Mr.. Seig-
ler Immediately offered bond for his
appearance, and Mr.. Patterson ac-
cepted the bond of So.
The report goes that Seigler hcHi-
ed Patterson a five dollar bill. aaH
without further words pulled from
his pocket q. 32-caEibre automatic re-
volver and fired four or five shots in
to the breast of the officer, produe-
ing instantaneous death. Bystanders
rushed up and found Officer Patter-
son still clutching the money and his
revolver securely fastened in its hol-
ster, the barrel pointing upwards.
MT. Seigler was arrested by Rural
Policeman Holley, who one of the
eye-witnesses ,and taken to jail. Mr.
Seigler is one of the most prominent
men Of the county, being a son OF the
late Capt. A. S. Scigler, and has a
host Of friends, whc deeply rgeret
the shooting. .n.
Officer Patterson came from Edge
field to Aiken about thirty-five years
ago and has almost continuously since
been q member of the Aiken police
force. He was recognized as one Of
the hest and most conscientious OFF,
GERS en- the force, and was man
wholly and altogether void of any
fear, being at all times cool and re-
sourcefui, and his untimely death has
cast a gloom over the city that he
has guarded SO long and we'll dur
ing the dark hours. He leaves VITA
and five children.

TEDDY,S MESSAGE SO CON
STRUED BY MIR. HENRY.
Texas Congressman Predicts That On
Such u Platform Roosevelt Will Be
Beaten In His Own Party.

BeGCen In Ills oWal L tATsy.
Declaring that Theodore Roosevelt
makes Alexander Hamilton look like
a novice as an advocate Of absolutism,
Representative Henry Of Texas, chair
man of the House committee en- rules,
issued a formal statement Saturday
in answer to the former Presidents
views on the trust question In his re-
cont editorial in The Outlook.
Mr.. Henry asserts that Mr.. Roose-
velt, through his message, Is feel
ing the pulse Of the American people
for a third term. that he Is trying to
discreidt Mr.. Taft anu Mr. Wicker
sham, and predicts that he will find
the road to the presidency rocky
while he is running for third term
with the steel trust snugly and con-
genially sitting astride his shoulders. "
The Democratic Congressman. who
recently made public proposed
amendments to the Sherman law pro-
viding that trust criminals be forced
to wear "felon's stripes" assails Mr..
Roosevelt chiefly for what he terms
his advocacy of 'legislatlvs courts
and Legislative executives" He
quotes from the former Presidents
editorial the following reference to
the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust
decisions of the Supreme Court:
ut Is contended that in these re-
cent decisions the Supreme Court
legislated; so it. did; and 1t had to-;
because Congress had signally failed
to do its duty by legislating, but
where the legislative body persistent
ly leaves open a field which is abso-
lutely imperative. from the public
standpoint. to fill, then no possible
blame attaches to the official of off,
cials who step in because they have
to and who then do the needed work
in the interest of the people.
This Is absolutism run mad" Mr..
Henry declares, Never in the his
tory of America did any man, living
or dead, advocate such rank, misel>
able and rotten doctrine. The ad-
terents of Alexander Hamilton
should tenderly take up his ashes,
make due apology for his being a
novice in the doctrine Of absolutism
and remove his sacred urn to some
quiet and sequestered spot and give
way to the real thing ,'to. one who has
views"
Mr.. Henry attacks the proposed
Federal trust commission, asserting
that it robs the States of their power
to deal with corporations. This pro-
posal is vicious beyond description u
he says. "Corporations would i'm
mediately raise a hundred thousand
issuable questions and points and
rush to the bosom Of the commission
for their settlement. They would pile
up treir controversies there and the
comission would not be able to set
tie them in hundred years.
Charging that the trust commission
is Mr.. Roosevelt's issue, the Texas
Congressman says in conclusion:
This will make him the candidate
for the Steel trust which he defend
ed and the advance agent of the reac-
tionaries, not the progressives. In my
opinion he is harnessing himself uI
with the wrong crowd and on a
mighty bad issue, and even Mr.. Taft
and tMr. Wickersham can whip him
in his party"

AT MEN AND RELIGION MOVE
MENT SOCIAL MEET.
The Colored Brethren, Segregated at
Banquet, Ono Shouts, "No Black
Seats in Heaven"

Seats in Heaven"
There was stir at the Young
Mems Christian Association at Mil
waukee at a banquet in connection
with the Men and Religion Forward
Movement because of the men Of color
were put to eat at table by them
selves.
A negro preacher from Madison
rose, and bitterly remarked: There
are no black seats in heaven, we are
told" The Madison preacher at
frs started to take place among
the white guests.
The other negroes signalled vio-
lently to him as hint that he was
in the wrong place. The negro
preacher half rose and turned to his
brethren as If to join them. Then he
gave them a severe scowl and sat
down. A few stage whispers follow
ed and the colored pastor moved ov-
er to the black table.
AS soon as the speeches began the
Madison preacher threw his bomb
about the absence Of black seats in
the great hereafter. The black ta-
BILE became very excited and tried to
stop. him. At last, hee5ing the muir
murs of his br~.hren, he changed his
topic and aske- for the cooperation
Of white people in the work among
the blacks.
The Rev. George J. Fox, pastor OF
the Cavalry Baptist church, explain
cd that he had specially asked for
the separate tablet thinking the men
Of his race would feel more at home
sitting together.

The new company that. recently filed
on $4,000 inches OF water in the AL

completed its organization.
The Bernice Water Company is the

An informal discussion as to the
source of supply was gone into, some
favoring the damming of the Alamo
others taking the stand that it would
be cheaper to draw the. supply from

action will be taken, however, until the
