Mad Dog Runs Amuck.

Anderson, Jan. 26.-A mad dog
ran amuck here to-day, biting two
white boys and three negroes, and
several dogs. 1t disappeared before
it could be captured and tonight the
officers are searching for it.
The dog started his run at Coxe's
creek just east of the city where it
attacked a negro man named Ware
who was working in the creek shov-
cling sand. Ware had on rubber boots
and the dogs teeth did not reach his
flesh.
The dog then circled through the
Bailey place, attacking and severely
biting a negro man. 1t proceeded
through the city through Calhoun
street where it attacked Elmira Hen
derson, the young son of E. w. Hen
derson, a travelling salesman, biting
him in several places.
The next person attacked was a
small white boy named Duvall in
the Cox mill village. The last per-
son reported to have been bitten was
a negro near the Cox mills. The dog
attacked him from behind, and it
was necessary for the negro to fight
the beast off.
The dog is described as an under
sized shepherd, and thorough
search will be made for it tomorrow.
1t is probable that the persons bit
ten will be taken to Columbia to the
Pasteur institute to be treated.
One or two dogs known to have
been bitten by the shepherd dog
have been killed by officers.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dread disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength to build up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in do
ing it's work. The proprietors have
so much faith in it's curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

MINISTER QUITS.
Methodist Preacher Says He is Co
ing After System"

Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Rev.
Henry Spencer Booth. who has re-
signed from the pastorate of the Gen.
tenary Methodist Episcopal church
Of Morristown, to-day gave out an
open letter addressed to Bishop Will
liam r. Anderson, of Chattanooga,
president Of the Holstein conference,
Of which Rev. Mr.. Booth is mem
Der. In the letter he says he is cut
ting in earnest at the "roots of the
evils that are sapping the vitality of
Christianity" and he begins on his
own denomination.
He afdrms that there is too much
watered stock in Methodism; that
preachers and other official pad sta
tistics as to the number of conver-
sions, etc., to make fine showings in
reports and to maintain prestige,
that the church has gone daffy on
organization and machinery, and
thus largely crushed and ground
the very life out of what real religion
We ever had"
After expressing cordial personal
esteem for Bishop Anderson, the let
ter, which is lengthy, concludes:
81 am after the system I call on
Methodist preachers everywhere
who are weary Of acting as puppets
in the tolls of a great ecclesiastical
machine, to unite in opposing the
abuse and espionage to which they
are constantly subjected and to pro-
test vigorously and forcibly against
the oligarchy."
Rev. Mr.. Booth declares he will
carry his campaign into every State
in the Union.

Miller's Political Activity.

From what can be learned al
present, Miller's resignation was
brought about by Governor Coleman
L. Blease stating that he would not
sign any vouchers which would be
necessary for the college to get
money to run on. 1t seems that
Thomas E. Miller had opposed Mr..
Blease's election for governor of the
State and the governor told him that
he did not think the president of a
State institution should take part IN
politics and accused Miller of saying
things which were untrue concerning
him. President Miller then told
Governor Blease that he had not sup
ported him for governor, but had
not spoken detrimentally against
him. Governor Blease then stated
to Miller that he would sign no
vouchers and without his signature
to the vouchers it would be impos-
sible for the college to get money to
go on, he being chairman of the
board of trustees. President Miller
then stated to the governor that he
did not wish to stand in the way of
the prosperity of the school and that
before he would allow the institu-
tion to suffer, he would resign.
''The resignation of Thomas E.
Miller, who has been for many years
president of the State colored COL
lege, created a great deal of talk on
the streets here this afternoon. Pres
ident Miller's term will expire next

Sacrifices Life in Vain.

Reidsville, Ca, Jan. 25.-Trying
in vain to save the life of her H.
year-old daughter, whose clothing
was caught in the shafting of cot
ton gin, Mrs. J. R. Wilkes sacrificed
her own life and that of her g.
months-old baby to-day, near Elsa,
this county. The little girl screamed
for aid as she felt herself being
drawn towards the machinery and
her mother, who was nearby, sprang
to aid her. She, too, was caught,
and the baby, which was in her arms,
was hurled against the floor and
killed instantly. The mother and
daughter died soon after being torn
from the shafting.

Lumbermen Begin Terms.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 2S.-Five prom
inent and wealthy Southern lumber
men will enter the federal prison
here to-day to serve sentences for
peonage. They are W. S. Harlan,
Robert Gallagher, DR.. w. E. Grace,
c.. c.. Hilton and E. S. Higgins, all
of Lockhart, Ala. Harlan and Gal
lagher will each serve 8 months and
pay fines of $4,000. The three 9TH
ers will serve 13 months and pay
$1,000 each. Their entrance into
the prison is the last chapter of a
famous case, hard fought through
all the courts.
The convicted men spent the night
in local hotel and awaited United
States Marshal Thomas F. McGourin
of Pensacola, who 1oll deliver them
to the warden. They were permitted
to come alone to escape the humili-
alton of being taken from their
homes by an officer.
Their cases were the first to origi-
nate in the South and the prosecution
was vigorously pushed by the depart
ment of justice. The case was twice
taken before President Taft in hopes
he would sign pardons, but he re-
fused to interfere.

Letter from Aunt Jane.

Dear Peter:-Now that you've
gone to town to tend school, do
hope you will not forget your good
country raisin'. Some of them mis-
cradle town lads may try to teach
you bad ways. But, my dear boy,
as long as your names Peter Judson
give 'em all the go-by. If any of
'em should dare to offer you a cigar
or a chew of tobacco, let 'em know
you come out of respectable family
and the Judsons never smoke. Tell
'em your two grandfathers was SEN
sible Christian men, and didn't make
chimney pots of themselves, nor
chew anything that wasn't good
enough to swallow. Tell 'em your
father is the same kind of sensible
Christian man, and he has begun to
train you after that pattern. Be po-
lite to 'em, Peter; don't hurt their
feelin's; like as not they haven't had
half the chance you have. Treat
'em all we'll, but never, as long as
you live, give up to 'em in any OF
their bad ways, no more'n if they
was reg'lar ruffians, a-beggin' you to
drink and swear. I hope to hear
from you soon.

MONEY FOR CHARLESTON YARD
Items Aggregating $4,000 in Naval
Appropriation Bill

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The naval
appropriation bill, just prepared
here, carries items aggregating $780,
900 for the Charleston navy yard, as
follows: Grading and paving, $5,-
900 improvement to plant, $4,000.
The friends of the navy yard here
believe that this is good showing,
considering the fact that many times
recently the yard has been scheduled
by it's enemies for entire abandon
ment.
This $4,000 will keep it in good
running order for the next fiscal
year, when bigger things may be
looked for. At present there is no
need for apprehension as to the fu-
ture.

TOM MILLER OUSTED
President of Negro College at Or.
angeburg Resigns.

Dispatches from Orangeburg say
that the action of Governor c. l..
Blease Friday afternoon, in demand
ing the resignation of Thos. E. Mil
Ter, colored, as president Of the
South Carolina Normal and Indus
trial college at Orangeburg, arose
from alleged political activity of
Miller last summer against Mr..
Blease. then a candidate for the
Democratic nomination to the gov
ernorship.
1t is said also, in these dispatches,
that the governor backed up his de-
mand for Miller's resignation with a
threat that If Miller declined to quit,
the governor would withhold his ap-
proval of vouchers or warrants, nee
essary to the procuring of money
with which to operate the college.
Miller is credited with having said
in reply that he would not, by max
ing a fight for any personal rights
he might have, risk the prosperity
of the college and he accordingly re-
signed, the board of trustees having
meanwhile joined in the governors
request.
"Pernicious political activity" was
the reason assigned by Governor
Blease for demanding Miller's res
ignation.
Report says Miller will be succeed
ed by one of the professors in his
faculty, N F. Nix, with whom Miller
had last year fist fight that resulted
in an official investigation. The pres
idency pays s2,OOO>a year. Miller's
resignation is effective June 80. The
trustees meet shortly after the ad-
journing of the general assembly to
elect his successor.
