FALSE REPORTS CORRECTED.

Editor of Laurens Advertiser:
Having received number Of let
ters Of inquiry from various parts of
the country concerning reports now
being circulated as to my church re-
lations etc. and feeling that 1t is due
to the cause of truth, as we'll as to
my own personal reputation, / seek
this opportunity OF making correc-
tions.
One report Is, that since publishing
my recent booklet entitled. The Bible
Mode Of Baptism, a Baptist preacher
has taken me to task in a three nights
debate, and that on the third night
he convinced me of my error" and
that l made confession OF the same
before the public, Joined the Baptist
church and was immersed.
wish to say that any such report
is absolutely false and utterly with
out any foundation. / have never had
a debate with any one on the subject
OF Baptism three nights nor
three seconds, nor have | ever re-
tracted single word published in
the booklet. Being unable to meet
the argument In any other way, this
report has been originated. so far as
can learn, in order to counteract it's
influence. The $4,000 offer Is still
open, and yet no attempt has been
made to correct the assertion which 1t
challenges.
Another report is to the effect that
no such person (as Mahaffey) Is
known to any one in Clinton. To this
wish to say that | am now serving
the third year of my second pastorate
Of the Methodist church in this place
having served the same church four
years about twenty years ago, and If
desired | can furnish references to
scores OF bankers merchants. minis
ters and college professors through
out the State. 1t is amazing to think
that any one, even in desperation to
brace up a pet theory, will resort to
the manufacture of such fabrication
With kindest wishes for all, am
yours sincerely,

GADSDEN PLEADS
FOR ABSOlUTION

Prominent Charleston Attorney Asks
Supreme Court to Investigate Into
His Conduct of Lawrence VIII Case.
Phillip II. Gadsden, one Of the most
prominent men IN the State, appeared
before the bar of the supreme court
OF South Carolina. Wednesday and.
through his attorneys, pleaded for a
hearing in the appeal from the decis-
sion of Judge Robert Aldrich in the
Lawrence case In that decision Judge
Aldrich referred caustically to the
conduct of Mr. Gadsdan as an attor-
ney.
The supreme court ordered that an
investigation be held before the court
on January 20. Attorney General
Lyon is requested to conduct the in
vestigation.
A Notable Case.
This is one OF the most notable
cases in the history Of the courts Of
this State, on account of the promi-
nence of the persons concerned. The
Lawrence case was the suit Of the
heirs of a sister against a widow for
alleged rights under a will OF Dr.
Lawrence, president of the company
first operating an electric street rail
way in Charleston. DR.. Lawrence's
wife and his half sister had never met
and knew nothing of each other per-
sonally.
1t was alleged that Mr.. Gadsden as
attorney for the widow. got the sister
OF DR.. Lawrence, a woman OF limited
intellectual capacity. to sign away her
rights under the will. 1t was further
alleged that Mr.. Gaddsden was guilty
of unprofessional conduct in several
ways. Judge Aldrich in deciding the
case in favor OF Miss Lawrence, used
very plain and indeed caustic Ian
guage in speaking of the conduct OF
Mr.. Gadsden.
Settled by Compromise.
An appeal was taken. While the
case was pending in the supreme
court, Mrs. Lawrence and the heirs of
Miss Lawrence effected compro-
mise. However, in this compromise
was no vindication of the professional
conduct of Mr.. Gadsden. Therefore he
appealed to the supreme court not to
dismiss the appeal until his personal
honor should be absoved or the ac-
curacy of Judge Aldrich's decree
should be established The original
complaint in the suit by Miss Law
renee and the criticism of Mr. Gads-
den by Judge Aldrich are quoted fully
in Mr.. Gadsdens plea to the supreme
court.

REAR ADMIRAL COWLES
RAISES HIS new FLAG

Animation pervaded the vicinity of
the Commodore's office this morning
when the formal ceremony of hoisting
the Admiral's flag took place and Cap
tain Cowles assumed the rank of Rear
Admiral. Full half-an-hour preceding
the time set for the ceremony the in
vited guests commenced to make their
appearance and by eleven o'clock the
broad lanai was crowded with ladies
and gentlemen, and there were innum-
cradle smaller groups scattered about
pathway full battalion of marines was
drawn up, together with the band, the
colors of the regiment occupying cen
trail place On the other side of the
naval offices was the Fifth Cavalry
band, stationed adjacent to the flag
staff from which fluttered the plain
blue pennant.
Promptly at eleven a bugle sounded
on the Japanese flagship, and the
strains we're still in the air as the
blue pennant was hauled down and the
larger flag with the two white stars
was hoisted. AS the admirals' flag
reached the peak the two saluting
guns on the green sward in front OF
the main entrance to the admiraps
office doomed forth a welcoming salute
of thirteen guns, and Immediately
afterwards the Japanese flagship join
ed in the chorus and with an addi-
tional thirteen guns gave greeting to
the new admiral. The marines salut.
ed, presented arms, and then headed
by their own band, marched out of the
grounds and back to barracks, while
the assembled guests FASTENED to ex
tend their hearty congratulations to
Rear-Admiral Cowles.

in the makai- Waikiki room at the
Naval yard and from the adjoining
room, usually occupied by the captain
of the yard, light refreshments were
served.
Admiral Receives Congratulations.
The congratulations showered upon
kear-Admiral Cowles, as he stood in
the center of the room, with golden
leis round his neck testified in no un-
certain manner to the cordiality of the
feeling entertained towards him
Governor Frear, Admiarl Yashiro,
the captains of the Japanese, cruisers
Asami and Kasagi, and their staffs,
Chief Justice Hartwell, Judge Dole,
the members of the judiciary, the
members of the Consular Corps, Bri-
gadier General Macomb, Majors Dun
ming, Winslow and Timberlake, all the
officers of the local garrison, and
host of prominent local residents, both
ladies and gentlemen, were among
those who greeted Admiral Cowles.
The throng of people was so great
that for upwards of an hour Admiral
Cowles was kept busy exchanging
greetings with his guests. Out on
the lawn the band of the Fifth Cavalry
remained and played through a de-
lightful selection of music, while in
small groups dotted here and there
about the lanai and on the lawn the
guests slipped champagne and chatted
animatedly.
A very pretty custom was followed
by quite a number of the admiral's
friends, that of sending floral gifts
with congratulatory messages. These
were received from Mrs. G. E. NJ
Wilson, Mrs. G.. E. Wilcox, Mr.. and
Mrs. Eben F. Bishop, Mrs. f. NJ

This mornings discussions of the
Legislative programme placed both the
speakership of the House and the
Presidency of the Senate in doubt, and
some lively hustling is being done be-
fore the caucusses to be set for this
afternoon. The first will be that of
the Senate, and it's result will probably
settle the other one.
A combine between Kauai and Maui,
to land Knudsen as president of the
Senate and Kelilnoi as speaker of the
House, is the proposition that started
the politicians hustling today Kauai
was reported as having agreed to
stand in with Maui for Keliinoi TO
speaker of the House, If Maui would
help Knudsen to get the position of
presiding officer of the Senate. This
looked good to the Kauai men, and led
to some deals which threatened at
once the Chillingworth chance to be
president of the senate and Holstein's S
chances to be speaker of the House.
