BUCKS POLITICIAN.
Governor Clashes with Democratic
State Chairman.

Trenton, N. j., March 20.-The
Geran bill which Gov. Wilson is SO
earnestly advocating was scheduled
to come up on second reading in the
house and late this afternoon Gov.
Wilson sent for Mr.. Nugent, Demo
cratic State chairman, with view
of talking matters over. The inter
view terminated in Gov. Wilson prac-
tically ordering Mr.. Nugent out OF
his executive Office. After the meet
ing Gov. Wilson and Mr.. Nugent gave
out statements which were practically
the same as to what actually hap
pened, although differing in their
conclusions.
Nugent's Insult. .
Gov. Wilson asked Nugent If it was
true that he was opposing the bill
and Nugent replied that he was.
Nugent said that he understood that
the governor had the votes, f'but
don't know how you secured them"
This angered the governor, who in
Quired what Nugent meant. Nugent
replied that it was common talk that
the governor had obtained the nee
essary votes through the use Of pat
ronage."
Orders Him Out.
This the governor characterized as
an insult and bade Nugent good af-
ternoon, at the same time waving
his hand toward the door. Nugent
retorted that he had always been
satisfied that you were not gentle
man" and left.
Just before the house convened AS
semblyman Matthews, the Demo.
cratic leader, who has been opposed
to the Geran bill, expressed will
ingness to resign. AS soon as his
purpose was disclosed the Democratic
members drowned out his voice and
refused to listen to him.

READY FOR THE PUMPS.
Wreck of the Maine VIII be Inspect
ed Within Six Weeks.

The dam about the wreck of the
battleship Maine will be completed
within q week and pumping will
start, according to an announcement
by Col. Black Of the Maine commits
sion. The battleship will be on dry
ground within six weeks, he says,
ready to be inspected by the official
commission which is to discover the
exact cause of the explosion.
Col. Black says the divers reports
indicate that the hull is in very bad
condition. The top of the forward
turret was found buried this week
in the mud of the harbor. It was
lifted to the surface, intact, but with
the riverts torn and twisted, showing
the great force of the explosion.

NEW COMMISSION APPOINTED.
Commissions Issued Monday to Five
New Members.

Governor Blease commissioned,
Monday, Messrs. John v Wallace, of
Charleston, James Stackhouse of Mar
ion, Thomas Fl Brantley of Orange
burg, Fred H. Dominick, of Newberry
and John Lanty Mimnaugh of Colum-
bia, as members of the dispensary
winding-up commission, in the place
of the commissioners whom he sum-
marily removed from Office recently,
for neglect of duty and incompe-
tence," Messrs. w. J. Murray of Co.
lumbia, J. Steele Brice of Yorkvil]e,
John McSween Of Timmonsville,
Avery Patton of Greenville and A. N.
Wood of Gaffney.
"Win they all accept" the gov
ernor was asked. "Well," he re-
piled, 81 am sure enough about that
10 go ahead and issue the commits
sions."
Who They Are.
Mr.. Wallace is Charleston manager
for the Cable Piano company. He was
formerly member of the lower
house of the general assembly. Mr..
Stackhouse was formerly senator
from Marion county. Mr.. Brantley,
formerly senator from Orangeburg
county, was once a candidate for
CONGRESS. Mr.. Dominick, former
representative from Newberry county
and now chairman of the county
Democratic executive committee, was
Governor Blease's law partner until
shortly before the latter's Inaugural
ton. Mr.. Mimnaugh, the Columbia
merchant, was formerly resident OF
Newberry, where a brother now lives.
Little remains to be done by the
new commission toward winding up
the affairs of the late State dispen-
sary. The commissioners whom Gov
ernor Blease removed have practically
finished the work. The only impor-
tant matters undisposed of are the
accounts with the Richland Distilling
company and the Carolina Glass COM
pany, both of Columbia. In each case
the States claim is in suit.

CROWDS SEARCH IN VAIN.
Negro Who Attempted Assault Has
Not Been Captured.

Due West, March 16.-This COM
munity is still very much excited over
the attempted assault by an unknown
negro on a very prominent woman
of the town as she returned home
from her usual walk across the creek
where she had been going w -:ome
small children in the aftern> Il, as
they returned home from school.
But little has developed as che has
been unable to give any definite
description of the assailant, and be-
cause of the fact that she was blind
ed with a shawl, thrown over her
head from behind.
The brute was evidently waiting
for her as she returned and imme-z
diately after the attack jumped in
the creek and went down or up the
stream.
An Turn Out.
The entire community, including
the college students, turned out with
in half an hour after the alarm was
given and as the news spread crowds
began to come in from the surround
ing towns and country. Sheriff Lyon,
with three deputies arrived on the
scene in an automobile within an
hour or more and aided the crowd
in it's efforts. All negroes who could
have possibly known Of the woman's
usual walk were placed under ar
rest, at once and others have been
arrested this morning. q
Intense excitement has prevailed
and the crowds did not disperse un.
til o'clock in the morning, and by
daylight immediately resumed their
search.
Ready for Action.
Crowds of men with rifles and guns
have been ready on q moments notice
to do anything suggested or by order
of the intendant Of the town, Capt.
G. N. Nickels, or Sheriff Lyon, who
have been on the job continuously
last night and to-day. Automobiles
and buggies have brought in men
who are in dead earnest as far as
rs miles or more from town. Moth
ing definite has been accomplished,
however, and those arrested have
been turned out on bond and the exc
citement is abating this afternoon.
The crowds are beginning to disperse.
They are not satisfied yet, however,
and efforts viii not cease.
Will Offer Reward.
Gov. Blease, it is expected, will
offer reward for the arrest Of the
criminal and the citizens will sup
plement this reward.
The woman attacked has been rest
ing easier to-day but is very much
excited and nervous and unable 4 to
see any one. She was not bruised
nor much hurt in the struggle, but
the fright was especially hurtful, be-
cause of her nervous temperament.

CHILDREN OF
SCHOOL AGE
Often Need a Safe Tonic for
the Nerves.
OversttsdY May Otherwise Bring
on Some Severe Nervous Dis
order as This Case Shows.

School children, who become restless,
cannot sit still, drop things, are con-
fused in their speech and otherwise
show nervousness, need a tonic and, at
their age, it must be a safe one.
Miss Stella Cofiield, farmer daugh-
ter, whose address is R. F. D. No. 2,
Centerburg, Ohio, was a helpless cripple
when she started taking DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and the wonderful benefit
she received from them has led her to
give an account of her Gaze for the
benefit of other sufferers.
About twelve years ago. she says,
II was taken sick at school and had to
be carried home. [ vomited blood and
was very low The physicians, who
attended me, did not know what allied
me but called it Bright's disease. Twas
bloated and had severe pains in my
limbs. was sick for six months and
in bed for ten weeks. I doctOred faith
fully for two months and kej.t getting
worse and finally had str Ike of par
alysis which affected my right leg and
arm and my speech. could lot talk for
two weeks and had no use whatever of
my leg and arm. My illness affected my
head and was very nervous. My
people thought I would never be any
thing but helpless cripple.
1t was through my father that 1
commenced taking DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for the paralysis. He was dis
couraged in paying out so much money
to doctors and, when he saw that DIR.
Williams Pink Pills had helped several
cases OF paralysis, he decided to have
me try them. / could soon see a change
and gave the pills a thorough trial.
The numbness in my leg disappeared
and after time I could walk. [ grew
stronger and really think that if it had
not been for Dr. Williams Pink Pills I
would still be a helpless cripple.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain no
stimulant, opiate or narcotic and can
not injure the most delicate constitu-
ton. They are sold by all druggists, or
sent postpaid, on receipt of price, SOC.
per box; six boxes for $3.50, by the
DIR. Williams Medicine Company, Schen-
ectady, N. Y. Every nervous sufferer
should write for a copy of our free
booklet, Nervous Disorders.

The mission of fairs and expOsitionS
is primarily to encourage better agri-

and to induce men to think and urge
them to put forth better efforts for
intelligent farming and breeding. The
Kansas State Fair at Topeka has. With
in the past few years, brought their
every department up to the standard,
from an educational standpoint, that it
is being recognized by the people of
the state.
1.-The fair has made a marvel lus
growth in the past two years, both in
the matter of permanent improvements
and in the methods of handling its re-
sources. The great state of Kansas
needs this fair to exploit her resources
and let the world know what Kansas
can produce.
wonderful in agriculture. wonderful
in stock raising, great in mining, no
other state combines three such cor
nerstones of wealth. Seconded by the
well managed county fairs of Kansas,
the great state fair at the capital city
is the best advertising feature any
state could have. 1t brings to the
world a true knowledge Of her re-
sources. It is to the state what the
show windows are to the store.''
