secured promises from prominent
horse owners to enter their horses

A member of the committee said
that Dillon is fortunate in getting
such excellent material for a race
and II weather conditions are fav-
orable that Dillon folk will have
an opportunity to see some of the
pest racing ever held in South Car
olina. At Columbia this year there
were entered some of the best
known horses on the American turf
The racing was good.
AS Thanksgiving is something of
day for rest and recreation it is
proposed to have the meet on this
day In the hope that the attend
ance will be large enough to en-
able the Association to meet with
out loss the heavy purses that will
have to be offered to induce many
OF the Columbia horses to enter
The purses will be as large as the
Columbia purses, as the owners will
not consent to come over for small.

CHRISTIANITY IN JAPAN.
Lutheran Missionary Thinks Head
way is Being Secured.

Savannah, November 6. - while
only about 10000 people in Japan
have been converted to Christianity
we feel very much encouraged from
the fact that a great many thou
sand others have thrown off the
shackles which bound them to the
heather churches and are now in a
frame of mind that Is very recep-
tive to Christianity.
This statement was made by the
Rev. Or. R. ]. Stirwald, Lutheran
missionary to Japan, who is in Sa-
vannah attending the meeting Of the
synod of this and adjacent states.
Or. Stirwald has been in this couu-
try several months, now, but will
return to Japan in the early part
of next year.
Education and evangelization
have gone hand in hand" declared
DR.. Stirwald. Everything towards
Christianizing Japan that has been
accomplished has been done through
education. What we are striving
most to do is to show the Japan
ese the foolishness of the religions
that they for centuries have been
used to. We are doing this sole
ly by education.
When we can get a heathen to
foreswear his allegiance to mis-
old religion we have made good
progress toward Christianizing
him. l believe most Jananese are
eager after knowledge. Most of
them are willing to learn, and 1t is
our duty to teach them. Modern
Christian schools are being estab-
lished throughout the empire. We
have big task before us, but / am
sure it is only a matter Of time
when Christianity will have been
firmly established there.
Many prominent Japanese pre-
fer that their children be educated
in the Christian schools, despite
the fact that the government has
established a good school system. "

ways than one.

THE BEATTIE APPEAL.
Petition for Writ of Error Filed

Richmond, Va, Nov. 4. - Law
yers for Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., un-
der death sentence for the murder
of his young wife have filed with
the supreme court of appeals, a pc
tition for writ of error. This con-
stitutes an appeal from the judg-
ment of the court at Chesterfield
which sentenced Beattie to be cleo
trocuted November oath. Unless
the court gives a decision before
the day set for Beatites execution,
this move will act as a stay.
The points of the appeal are Gin
the breast of the court" ali that
can be learned is there are eleven
points. Judge Keith will consider
and pass it on, with whatever rec
concentrations he makes to the
members of the bench-Buchanan
Cardwell, Harrison and Whittle.
Usually the other judges with the
one who takes the first impression
of an appeal.
Should the court decide to issue
the writ it will fix the date for
hearing the appeal. Meanwhile
the execution of the death sentence
is suspended. Beattie remains i'm
prisoned in Richmond city jail, in
stead of being carried to the con-
demned cell of the penitentiary.

FIRST TRIAL A FAILURE.
Varniman's Balloon Not Yet Ready
for Transatlantic Trip.

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 4. -
Lack of sufficient gas to keep the
big dirigible in the air brought to
sudden end the trial flight to-day
of the airship Akron, which is
scheduled to make an attempt to
cross the Atlantic Ocean from this
city some time this month. The
big balloon landed on the meadow
seven miles from here and had to
be towe back. The balloon was
only slightly damaged.
The airship left the hangar short
ly before 10 a. m, and made q spec
tacular flight along the beach,
across the city and over the mead
ows between here and the main
land at a height of about 800 to
400 feet. 1t was up nearly two
hours when the cold air began to
affect the gas and 1t failed to show
proper buoyancy.
FINALLY, the Akron could not rise
to sufficient height and assistance
was sent for. The Federal Life
savers went to the rescue, and with
number of other launches, drag
ged the airship loose from the
meadow grass and towed her home.
Melvin Varniman, head of the
proposed expedition to Europe, was
not satisfied with the gas supply
when the start was made to-day but
decided to take a chance to see
how the ship would act.

Press Comment.

A. G. Aliens big ministries gave
a performance in their canvas the
atre at the corner of Fourth and
Court streets last night The tent
was packed and many were turned
away because there was no more
room. The idea of presenting a
minstrel performance under canvas
is quite original, and judging from
crowd last night we judge that it
is a paying venture. The tent is
arranged with stage scenery and
curtains the same as an opera
house.
The performance as a whole was
meritorious The sayings and gags
were all very good, as we'll as the
choruses, ballads and other singing.
The orchestra was also good. In
the olio the male electrical dance,
the "Black Eighth Regiment" the
terpsichorean artists and "Pastimes
of the Levee" were amusing, and
the rip-roaring farce presented as a
finale was highly ludicrous and
mirth-provoking piece of extravag-
ance. - Memphis Commercial Ap-

One of the fastest runs that has

of the Atlantic Coast Line, between
Florence and Rocky Mount, n. c.,
over the Short Cut, was made one
night last week by Engineer Jo-
sephus j. Jennings, one of the "old
timers on the run.
The run in question was made in
four hours and ten minutes, dis
tance of 173 miles, the average
speed being upwards of 43 miles
the hour, including the stops, 23

1t is said by some OF those who
were on the train that when II
was running it was hard to tel
whether the train was on the track
or up in the air, for she was Ger.
tainly going up the pike at a fast
clip. The actual running time, ex
elusive of stops was about 81 miles
the hour. IL that was not running

like to know why

was heavier than the ordinary
train.
