U. S. A., in charge of the river and
harbor work in South Carolina, has

IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading-Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.

D. D. McColl, president of the
Bank of Marlboro, and one of the
Wealthiest men in Marlboro county
died at his home in Bennettsville
last Friday.
1t is estimated that Clemson col
lege will receive from the fertilizer
tax this year 100000. Last year
the college received about S250,OOO
from this source.
The State board of education will
meet June 18th to adopt school books
for the public schools of the State
The present contract with the school
book publishers expires in August.
Mr.. ]. P. Matheny has rendered his
resignation as secretary of the Or
angeburg chamber Of commerce, as
he will soon enter a line of business
that will take him away from that
city.
Charleston has just completed a
successful campaign for new Y. NJ
G.. A. building. Committees from the
business men of the city canvassed
for week and raised S158,000 for
the new building.
1t is expected that the trial of H
H. Evans will take place in Newberry
next week, as both sides are said to
be ready and anxious for trial. Ev-
ans is charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud the State while a member OF
the State board of dispensary direc-
tors.
Governor Blease refused to reap
point J. M. Daniel as dispensary
auditor, but has appointed M. H.
Mobley, formerly an employee Of the
old State dispensary. The position
pays $4,000 a year. No doubt the
appointee is a political supporter OF
the governor.
The governor is having trouble all
around these days. Magistrates and
other county officials in several
places refuse to give way to his ap-
pointees, and in Beaufort county an
injunction has been obtained against
his appointees as county commits
sioners. A hearing is to be had on
the matter before Judge Gary at Wal
terboro to-day.
The work of preliminary survey
for the Edisto river between Orange
burg and Charleston will soon be be-
gun. This survey is to determine
whether it is practicable to open the
river to navigation, and if the result
shows that the Edisto can be made
navigable, no doubt the necessary
appropriation for this work will be
made at the next session of congress.

WHITE FIREMEN STRIKE.
Disagreement as to Negro Firemen's
Status Causes Walk.Out.

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 9.-White
firemen of the Cincinnati, New Or
leans & Texas railroad struck at Z
o'clock tonight because of contro-
versy over negro firemen. The strike
was in response to order from COM
mittee of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen. The
action was taken by the union after
a long conference with T. C. Powell,
vice president of the road, had failed
to result in an agreement.
While the union officials were busy
sending out the stri Ike orders Mr..
Powell dictated a telegram to Wash
ington, asking mediation under the
Erdman act. The union officials re-
fused to join in a request for media
ition, asserting that their experience
had led them to believe that the men
would lose rather than gain by such
a course.
The strike is due to dispute as
to the status of negro fremen. The
union asserts that the working agree
ment with the road provides that ne
groes are ineligible to any work ex-
cept on local and slow freight trains
and on yard engines. The railroad
disputes this and asserts that their
negro employees are entitled to pro-
motion on the same terms as the
white men. About 22O firemen are on
the roster of the road.

Orangeburg, March 13.-Sheriff
salley has been notified by Paul A.
Gibson, who went as Sheriff Salley's S
agent to Waycross, Ca, that the ne
gro, James Evans, who was held in

Philips, is not the James Evans who
committed this murder. Mr.. Gibson
lives at Norway, the scene of the
brutal murder of Mr.. Philips seven
years ago, and knew the negro Evans
we'll as the negro worked for Mr..
Gibson.
However, the police authorities say
that if this is the wrong negro, they
can apprehend the right one and will
do so if they can obtain the reward
that was offered many years ago. An
effort will be made by authorities in
this county to obtain requisition pa
pers from the governor of South Car
olina and also the revival of the re-
ward and have the criminal appre-
hended if possible.

FOUL PLAY NOT INDICATED.
Inquest Held Over Young Hawkins S
Body-Remains Inferred.

Newberry, March 12.-The body
of young T. Aughtry Hawkins, who
mysteriously disappeared from Shell
ton on the 23rd of February, after
transporting two negroes across the
river in a bateau, was found yes
terday afternoon about o'clock by
Mr.. Whitney, at Henderson's Island,
one and a half miles below Shelton.
The body was hanging by snag and
badly decomposed. Magistrate Hen
derson summoned jury and held an
inquest. A physician from the Fair
field side made a post-mortem exam
ination as best he could with the
body in the condition it was, and
could find no evidences of foul play.
DR.. Legrand Guerry, of Columbia,
a brother-in-law of young Hawkins,
came up this morning and, after an
examin nation of the body said it was
so badly decomposed that it would be
impossible to determine if death re-
suited from violence. The body was
buried this afternoon at Maybinton.
Sheriff Buford last night received
telephone messages from the COM
munity, urging that thorough in
vestigation be made, as foul play was
suspected. The sheriff is confined to
his bed, but at 8 o'clock this morn
ing sent Deputy Sheriff Pope L. Bu-
ford and Munson Buford to Shelton,
and wrote Magistrate Henderson that
he was ready to cooperate in max
ing any arrests if there was any evil
dence tending to incriminate any
one. After the inquest and the ex-
animation by the physicians there
seemed to be no evidence, and, there
fore, no arrests were made.

Names Wilcox as Special Judge.

Gov. Blease Announced Saturday
that he had commissioned F. L. Will
COX of Florence as special judge for
the Florence county court, which
commenced Monday, thus following
the recommendation of the supreme
court. He issued the commission, he
said, upon the recommendation Of
the Florence County Bar association.
Mr.. Wilcox was not on the eligible
list.
did you regard the recommends
tion of the supreme court in granting
the commission to F.. L. Wilcox"
he was asked.
"No, I commissioned Mr.. Wilcox
upon the appeal of w. F. Clayton,
the chairman of the Florence County
Bar Association" he replied.
F. L. Wilcox is a well-known at
torney of Florence and was endorsed
by the bar association for special
Judge to Chief Justice Jones, who
sent a recommendation to the gov
ernor.
A special Judge was needed for the
regular term of court.
Gov. Blease takes the position that
the law requiring the governor to
commission special judges upon the
recommendation Of the supreme
court is unconstitutional.
There are 16 prisoners in the Flor
ence county Jail awaiting trial.
Gov. Blease has ordered special
term of court for Horny county to
commence on April 3 to take the
place of the court that was not held
on account of the need of judge.
Gov. Blease refused to commission
C. p Quattlebaum as special judge
for Horny county, although Chief
Justice Jones on three occasions call
ed his attention to the fact that there
was not a disengaged circuit judge.
The special term of court was order
ed upon the request of Solicitor
Wells.

larger place than this. Your money
will be spent for a benefit, if you
come and attend. Don't forget the
day and the place. JEE.

BREAKS A COLD IN
JUST A FEW HOURS
SEVERAL DOSES END MOST
SEVERE GRIPPE MISERY

Nothing else that you can take will
break your cold or end grippe so
promptly as a dose of Pape's Cold
Compound every two hours until three
doses are taken.
The most miserable headache, dull
ness, head and nose stuffed up, fe-
verishness, sneezing running OF the
nose, sore throat, mucous catarrhal
discharges, soreness, stiffne, rheu-
matim pains and other distress begin
to leave after the very first dose.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine, which we have
conclusively demonstrated is not ef-
fective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after-effects as

pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply
