What, anyway, is the Lorimer de-

the senator's friends aim TO show:
That the Chicago Tribune has long
been trying to drive Lorimer out of
political life in Illinois, that the Nc
Cormick family has joined with them
in this attempt and has invented the
FUNK story to further that end; that
the witness who supports independ-
emily the Funk story have been con-
sclously engaged in this conspiracy:
that granting that money was used
in a Jackpot in Springfield, it was
nevertheless a long custom, and that
1t was not specifically used for Lori
mer; that the bribe takers who have
confessed did so either for the pur-
Uose of blackmail or else to make
money and gain immunity; that, in
short, the attempt to deprive Lori
mer Of his chair in the senate is a
dastardJy and maliciously contrived
device of his personal enemies. This
theory, like almost any theory, has
some facts contradicting it that We
must term it just what it appears
to be, namely, the last straw Of a
drowning man. The committee.
which is made up Of four Lorimertes
and Of four Anti-Lorimerites does
not seem inclined to believe this high
ly ingenious hypothesis.

SHOOTING IN BISHOPVILLE.

night, ]. w. Walters, of this place.
shot and killed Lot Matuse. The
trouble between the two men start
ed over a beating which Matuce had
inflicted upon r. w. Walters, a son
of j. w. Walters.
II seems that there had been some
difficulty between r. w. Walters and
Matuse about set OF harness. and
when Matuse and another man met
Walters in the road several miles out
from Bishopville yesterday afternoon.
they jumped on him and beat him
numerically. 1t was thought that
they would have killed him had they
not seen some one coming down the
road when they went on off. Help
arrived and Walters was carried on
home.
About $3.50 in the evening whom
Matuse was returning from a show
which he had attended he met j. w.
Walters on the street and commence
ed shooting at hm. Walters then
drew his gun and shot and killed
Matuse. The trouble between the two
men was the beating which Matuse
had given Walters son earlier i'm the
day.
Matuse and the two Walters are
both we'll known about Bishopville.
where much sympathy is expressed
for the elder Walters, who was ar
rested and placed in Jail immediately
after the shooting. Matuse Is about 22
years OF age and ]. w. Walters is
about so years old. while his son is
about 80. II. w. Walters was report
ed to be In a serous condition. but it
is thought that he will recover from
the beating he received.

This statement was made bv pres-

ed supply Of cotton. The cotton belt
or the United States now furnishes
tully two-thirds of the worlds sum
ply OF cotton, and, as the demand in
creases, will be called upon greatly
70 increase its annual production.
IL is a clear understanding of this
condition that has led the Southern

cooperation with the United States

ricultu-al authorities of the Southern
states, to keep the cotton production

and the growing of live stock. 1t is
clearly more profitable to a farmer TO
produce fifty bales of cotton on fiftv
acres than to produce the sane
amount on one hundred acres. for he
Will receive the same amount for his
cotton and will have fifty acres for
other uses. Under ordinary circum-
stances, every increase in the average
yield Of cotton per acre reduces the
cost Of production per pound and
yields the farmer a larger margin OF

SOME PREVIOUS STORMS.
Gales Which Have Visited Charles.
ton In the Past-Memories of the
Fearful Havoc OF 1898.

On September z. 1910, Charleston
was visited by its first recorded hur-
ricane. Some damage was done by
flooding of streets and several lives
were lost. and by the shipwreck of
the Rising Sun. The Scotch settlers
from Darien were aboard. All per-
ished.
A second hurricane occurred Sep
tember 16. 1717. The record Of dam
ages are meagre. On the 14th of
September. 1928. hurricane drove
the people to the upper stories Of
thei- dwellings,. Twenty-three ships
were driven ashore and many thous-
and trees were levelled. On Septem-
ber Is. 1852. there was a disastrous
hurricane. following continued warm
spells OF three months duration. 1t
came from the northeast md contin-
ued twenty-four hours, stemming the
Gulf Stream and turning 1t on the
shore. At o'clock the flood came
In with great impetuosity and in a
short time the tide rose ten feet above
high water mark. The streets were
covered with boats and wrecks Of
vessels and houses. A large ship
passed over the marsh OF Shuts, Fol-
ly and Drum Islands. Another ves-
sel drove from White Point through
Vanderhorst Creek. carrying away
the southwest corner OF the Baptist
church, later the Mariners church.

gan on Friday and blew all day Sat.

miles an hour at O'Clock =. m. Many
walls were damaged in the eastern
and southern quarters of the city. A
dozen squares between IaureEs and
Calhoun streets, in East Bay and the
Battery. were damaged. The dam.
age on the island alone was estimated
at $4,000. Mr.. Thomas T. Lessene
the youngest son Of Chancellor Les
sene, was drowned.

signs weathered the storm, and scores
of high board fences were levelled.
In all probability, the Peoples
building, the skpscraper, sustained
the greatest damage among the
Broad street buildings. While, of
course. the building itself was not
damaged. the costly bronze cornices
that were blown away. the breaking
OF windows and the damage to the
many offices in the building consti-
tute heavy loss. There is but a
small section Of the cornice work left
intact, and through broken windows
the rain poured and flooded several
of the offices. particularly on the
eighth floor. The PEBBLES that cover
ed the roof Of the Peoples building
were scattered everywhere. 1t is
said by some residents Of Logan
street that some Of them were blown
even that far.
Near the corner Of King and Broad
huge oak was blown across the

wires thereabouts Further up Broad

across yard fence barely missing

i'll effects OF - terrific winds, were
damaged to some extent by the flood

nearest the Battery and the Boule-
ward appeared to suffer most. Here
ward appeared to suffere most. Here
the water swept with considerable
force and worked havoc with many
fences and yard articles. Many gar
dens were completely ruined by the
salt water.
Battery Hard Hit.
The Battery was hard hit. While
IT is not certain whether or not the
wall has been damaged to any extent
part Of the front railing has been torn
away. and the park on South Battery
has been we'll nigh ruined. Prac.
tically all the trees were uprooted
and the benches carried away. The
mammouth canno,, that have pointed
so fiercely to sea for these many years
are displaced, and the castings are
twisted almost beyond repair. 1t Is
said that on the pavement of South
Battery the water Sunday night was
over five feet. In the opinion OF
many the Battery presents the most
deplorable scene In all the city.
