Daughter Raids Fathers Distillery

Raleigh, N. c., Nov. GA well
authenticated story comes from Car
thage of the daughter Of a Moore
county blockader who impersonated
a revenue raider, cut up and COM
pletely destroyed the distillery Of her
father while all the other members
of the family were attending the re-
cent Moore county fair at Carthage.
The father long had been engaged In
blockading, But never had been &C
tually implicated by revenue officers.
This grown daughter often had plead
ed with him to abandon his illegal
work, but he persisted. At the time
of the fair he was running a still,
and the daughter was in constant
dread of the trouble and disgrace that
would come If the head Of the fami-
Iy were hailed into court and pos
sibly sent to prison. She encourag-
ed plan for the entire family to go
to Carthage, and then at the. last
minute insisted that there were un-
surmountable obstacles to- her join
ing in the days outing.
While the family was away she
took an axe and other needed imple-
ments, went to the blockade distil-
lery and literally cut the whole equip
ment to pieces. The old man was
given to understand when he return
ed that it was the work of revenue
officers, and he is even congratulate
ing himself that he made the Car
thage trip, as the officers might have
caught him at the still.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. A Bamberg Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.
Why You Should Deposit With
The Ehrhardt Banking Company

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms Of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the. danger lies. You must cure
dropsy or Bright's disease. The
dropsy or Birght's disease. The
best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1t is for ills which are caused
by weak or diseased kidneys. Bam-
berg people testify to permanent
cures. .
E. Dickinson, Bridge St., Bamberg,
S. c., says: ''Doan's Kidney Pills
did so much for me that l can strong
ly recommend them. l was subject to
attacks of backache and pains across
my loins and my kidneys did not act
regularly. 1 took Doan's Kidney
Pills, as directed, getting them from
the Peoples Drug Co. and they bene-
fitted me in every way. My kidneys
are now in a normal condition and
the lameness and soreness in my
back has disappeared.

THIRD LARGEST CORN CROP.
Despite Backsets, Corn Production
Shows Up Well.

Washington, Nov. 8.-The full eff
feet of the drought and intensely hot
weather of the past summer was re-
ffected in the government crop report
to-day It showed that the produc-
ton of corn in the United States,
which at the beginning of the season
promised to. exceed the bumper crop
Of last year, was smaller by 349, ,412,-
600 bushels than last years crop.
Notwithstanding this great de-
crease in production the crop this
year goes down as the third largest
in the history of the country, having
been exceeded only by those of 191 0
and 1906. There were decreases in
production in all of the principal
corn growing States, excepting in
Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon-

ARTHUR BOWEN ARRESTED.
Negro Wanted in Springfield Carried
to Columbia.

Arthur Bowen, a negro, wanted Tor
an alleged attempt to commit GRIM
inal assault at Springfield on October
%, was arrested Wednesday after
noon at Johnston and brought to Co
lumbia, where he was taken to the
penitentiary for safe keeping. The
negro confessed to attempting the
crime to the authorities at Johnston.
Bowen was apprehended in John
ston about 5 o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon and reached Columbia the
same night at 1880 o'clock, accom-
panied by ]. D. BARLEY, mayor of
Johnston, and J. H. Swearingen, chief
Of police of that town. The party
was met at the union station by j. C.
Robbins, guard at the penitentiary,
where the negro was taken.
Mr.. BARLEY said that Bowen had
been in Johnston since last Sunday.
The negro's actions aroused sus-
picion. AS soon as an accurate de-
scription of the negro wanted in
Springfield was obtained, Bowen S
appearance was found to tally we'll
with it. His arrest followed.
Negro Makes Confession.
Under close questioning by the au-
thorities at Johnston, the negro broke
down and admitted that he attempted
to commit the crime. He also said
that he worked for Wade Tyler, the
negro who was shot by some member
of mob at Springfield after he was
in the hands of Sheriff Salley of Or
angeburg county.
Mr.. BARLEY and Mr.. Swearingen
will wait in Columbia until Bowen
can be further identified by some one
who knew him at Springfield. A re-

ward of S100 was offered for,the ar
rest of Bowen.
In order that there might be no
disturbance, the arrest of the negro
was not made known, and he was
brought to Columbia on the first
train. A general man-hunt for the
negro was in progress up to a few
days ago.
Johnston is about 40 miles across
country from Springfield, the scene
of the crime of which the negro is
accused.

TWO CLAIM SAME NAME.
Springfield Chief Declares Orange
burg Prisoner Man Wanted.

Columbia, Nov. 9.-There are two
negroes confined in the State peni-
tentiary thought to be Arthur Bow
en-, the negro wanted for alleged at
tempt to commit criminal assault at
Springfield on October %. One ne
gro, arrested at Johnston yesterday
and brought here last night, is said
to have confessed that he was Ar
thur Bowen and that he worked for
the negro, Wade Tyler, who was shot
by a member of mob at Springfield,
while in the custody of the sheriff.
This morning Deputy Sheriff Sal
ley, of Orangeburg, on telephone in
structions from Gov. Blease, brought
another negro, thought to be Arthur
Bowen, to the penitentiary for safe
keeping, making two of that name
now in custody charged with being
guilty of the attempt at the name
less crime at Springfield.
Declared Right Man.
The negro, claimed to be Arthur
Bowen, who was captured last night
in Orangeburg county by Deputy J.
D. Oliver, and brought here to-day
to the penitentiary for safe keeping,
is said to have been identified by
Chief of Police Jumper, of SPRING
field, as the right Arthur Bowen, who
is wanted for an alleged attempt at
assault near Springfield some time
ago.
The other negro, who was captur-
ed at Johnston last night and brought
to the penitentiary here for safe
keeping, and who is said to have con-
fessed to being Arthur Bowen, is not
the negro, according to Chief of Po-
lice Walter Jumper, of Springfield, so
it is stated. Chief of Police jumper
went to the penitentiary this morn
ing for the purpose of Identifying
him. ~.
This further complicates the mat.
ter, for the chief of police of Spring
field knows Arthur Bowen, and he
says the negro arrested at Johnston
is not Arthur Bowen. The negro
must either be demented or have
some ulterior and hidden purpose fol
attempting to pass himself off az
Bowen.
T The .Orangeburg negro was
brought in on the Carolina Special
and taken to the penitentiary by Dep,
uty Sheriff salleS, of that county
Mr.. SaIley telephoned the governor
this morning that he had Arthur
Bowen in the Orangeburg jail and
finally, he was instructed to bring
his prisoner to Columbia, which was
done.
By Governors Order.
The alleged attempt to commit the
nameless crime by Arthur Bowen al
Springfield, on October 23, stirred
that whole country to a fever pitch
of Indignation and for several days
crowds of men secured the surround
ing section on a steady hunt for the
alleged author of the attempt. Wade
Tyler, another negro, who lived al
Springfield and who was charged
with assisting Bowen in making h1s
escape, was shot by some one after
he had been arrested by the sheriff
of Orangeburg county, Tyler q few
days later dying from the effects OF
the wound in the Orangeburg jail
A reward of 500 had been Offered
for the apprehension of Bowen.

BRINGS SUIT AGAINST BISHOP.
Charging Libel, Woman Asks Dam.
.s.. ages Of $4,000.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 8.-Ths con
troversy between Bishop David H
Moore, of Cincinnati, of the Metho
dist Episcopal church, and Mrs. Car
rie E. Cope, of Topeka, growing ou
of the formation, by Mrs. Cope, of al
auxiliary of the national branch o.
the Womans Home Missionary Soci
ETY. of the Methodist church, reach
ed a crisis when suit for $4,000
against the bishop was filed by Mrs
Cope late to-day.
The suit follows recent charges
made against Bishop Moore to thu
Conference of Bishops by Mrs. Cope
alleging that Bishop Moore had Ii
| belled her in a letter on the subject
| of a bequest of $4,000 left to the
Woman's Home Mission Society by
Mrs. Fannie Murray, of Atchison
county, Kansas.
Mrs. Cope alleges that the letter
was calculated to injure her "as a
citizen, as. wife, as a mother and
as a Christian.
The Objectionable Letter.
The letter to which Mrs. Cope OBJ
jected was addressed to an official OF
the Woman's Home Missionary So
ciety. It was dated Abilene, Kansas,
March ,18, 1911, and read in part:
1T is Friday and Mrs. Cope has
not appeared. I have carefully gone
over all papers, conferred with the
cabinet and Mrs. Knosten and the Of
fcers of the auxiliary, and pondered
the situation. I think you will never
see a cent of the bequest, and a dan
gerous precedent will be set unless
you energetically sustain the Kansas
conference in pushing the matter to
legal conclusion. AS to the be-
quest, nothing comes of her prom
ises. Nothing will, in my judgment.
Mrs. Jackson, while seeming to act
for her, has set on the heirs to bring
suit for the property. You are Jug
gled, tricked and beaten. Sincerely
yours, DAVID H. MOORE
Beginning of Trouble.
The trouble, which precipitated the
controversy, started over a bequest
Of Mrs. Fannie Murray, of Atchison
county, several years ago. Mrs. Muir
ray. provided deed to property she
owned in California valued at $780,
900. The deed was made to. H. M.
Jackson, an Atchison county attor-
ney. Upon her death the deed pro-
vided that half Of the property should
go to the Woman's Foreign Mission
ary. Society and the other half to
1.-The Woman's Home Missionary So
eiety, of the Kansas Conference of
the Methodist Church. There was no
such society, the one to which Mrs.
Murray belonged being the "Woman's s
Home Missionary Society, Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, of the
Kansas Conference"
Later, Mrs. Cope and others are
said to have organized and incorpor-
ated society named in accordance
with the terms of the bequest' and
Mr.. Jackson is said to have paid this
society the sum Of 81, 500, of the $10,-
900 permanent fund. This, it is
said, has been invested. When the
officers of the Kansas society were
elected, about two years ago, it was
found that a permanent fund exist
ed and the new officers demanded the
money. This, it is asserted, was re-
fused. A suit to recover the money
followed.
