GOVERNOR CAN'T REMOVE.
Supreme Court Says. B. j. Rhame Is
Bank Examiner.

"The State bank examiner Is not
subject to removal by the governor,
and that the defendant, B. ]. Rhame,
is still State bank examiner is the
majority decision, written by Associ-
ate Justice Woods, handed down by
the Supreme Court. The opinion was
concurred in by Chief Justice Eugene
B. Gary, Associate Justice Hydrick
and Circuit Judge T. S. Sease, George
E. Prince, John S. Wilson, H. F. Rice
Frank B. Gary, and T. H. Spai2.
Dissenting opinions were filed by
Associate Justice R. c. Watts and
Circuit Judge George w. Gage, both
OF whom held that the governor had
the authority to remove the State
bank examiner.
On April 1 the governor, by procla'
nation, removed B. ]. Rhame, State
bank examiner, from Office, charging
neglect of duty. Thereupon the gov.
ernor appointed H. W. Fraser as bank
examiner. Rhame refused to give ur
his office, claiming that the governor
had no authority under the law to
oust him. The attorney-general then
brought suit, in the original proceed.
ure OF the Supreme Court, to have
Rhame adjudged an intruder and be
removed from Office. H. W. Fraser
was made party and by answer al
legged that he was the lawful bank e1-
aminer under appointment by the
governor.

CARROLL TO TAKE STUMP.
Colored Preacher to Speak to Ne

The News and Courier Columbia
correspondent says Rev. Richard Car
roll, colored, has received from Con-
gresham Burleson, head of speakers
bureau of the Democratic national
committee, the following letter:
"Your name has been transmitted to
this bureau by the Hon. Ben R. Till
man, of South Carolina, with the in
formation that you would like to de-
vote portion of your time as

liged if you will communicate with
me advising between what dates your
services will be available and how
much time you can give US during
the campaign. We shall be obliged
to depend entirely upon voluntary
speakers to make the campaign for US

the gentlemen assisting for their SER
vices, beyond their travelling expren-
ses, hotel bills, ct Trusting to hear
from you at al early date and to
have your valuable assistance, am
yours very truly"
Carroll has just returned from
Ohio where he made several speeches
for Woodrow Wilson. He said Satur-
day afternoon that he would probably
accept the invitation to make several
speeches for Wilson and would first
go to New York and would probably
make several speeches throughout
the West.

HAVE TO SEND WILSON FUNDS
Banks Losing Local Credit by For
warding Them Direct.

The Columbia correspondent Of the
News and Courier says Capt William
F.. Gonzales, chairman of the finance
committee for South Carolina for the
Democratic national committee, said
today that there was an Overlapping
Of committees at the national head
quarters and conflict in request and
that as a consequence some banks in
South Carolina had forwarded their
collections direct to treasurer Rolla
Sueh course, Mr.. Gonzales said,
made no difference to the State Com
mittee, as all funds from the treasury
we're put to its credit, by sending
direct to both the counties and the
banks were deprived Of local credit
for their efforts in behalf Of Demo-
cracy, and he asks that all contribu-
tions be sent through the chairman
of the finanre committee or the news
papers Of South Carolina.

farm work, it's soil surveys, its
breeding work and all Of that Is to
bring the southern people to the
point where they can be independent
of king, cotton, where they shall be
able to make OF this tyrant SER
want, who shall contribute to the hap
piness and welfare Of all Of the peo-
pie. We are now slaves to it, and
can never realize our full possibili-
ties until we have taken Of his
shackles.
l do not preach the doctrine Of re-
ducing the cotton production, plead
only for an increase in the. acreage
of other crops. I plead for an in
crease in yield per acre in cotton and
and increase in acreage for other
crops. To this end the department
has begun soil demonstration work.
I believe that this work is the begin
ming of new era in southern agri-
cultrure. / do not believe that it is
TOO much to say that it is fraught
with more possibilities for good than
within recent years, with the possible
exception of rural delivery.
What we want to do is to put the
farmers in position to hold his cot

gratifies someone else and this can
never be done until the farmer is
aught successful agriculture and sue
cessful agriculture means diversified
and intensified agriculture. 1t is a
new work, the result of which can
not be seen in day but will 90 on
and on and on gathering strength
with each day.
In my experience as practical
farmer and my observations 1 have
been struck with the fact of a lack
Of uniformity in the grading of cot
ton in the different cotton markets
of the country and I have had the
idea in mind for long time that the
lack of uniformity had caused the
cotton producer to suffer largely.
In bulletin on cotton just issued
at the South Carolina experiment
station, the statement is made, that
On account of the lack of such uni
formity the variations and difference
some times amount to twenty dollars
per bale This is loss to the far
mer who does not know whether he
has middling or strict middling. He
must depend upon the judgement to
say the least Of the cotton merchant
and to that extent he Is at the ab-
5olute mercy Of the buyer.

ANOTHER AVIATOR KILLED.
Grim Spectre Of the Air Claim n. J.
D. Ashley.

At Belfast, Ireland, H. ]. D. Ast-
ley, one of the most intrepid and skill
full Of English aviators, was killed
Saturday afternoon by the fall Of his
aeroplane. Ashley and James Valen-
tine, each driving machine, were
making exhibition flights in the pres
ence of 10000 spectators. Ashley.
after a splendid fight, was descend
ing while the people cheered. He
attempted to bank too sharply when
making a sudden turn, and, caught
by fuky wind, the monoplane fell
like stone from height Of 100
feet. Women screamed and tainted.
Ashley, when flying from France to
England with Miss Erehawke Davis
as a passenger, had marvellous es-
cape near Lille on September II. On
that occasion the machine fell $50
feet and Miss Davis is said to have
made on entry in her diary Of her
sensations as they dropped.

TROUBLE OVER IN AIKEN.
Threats Made Against Mr.. Hugh
Long Of Wagner.

A letter from Aiken says consid-
cradle interest attaches to the elec-
ton in the recent second primary of
Mr.. Hugh Long to the House OF Rep
resentatives, in that it is reported
that, as a direct result Of his elec-
tion there have come, from the cas-
tern section OF the county, particu-
larly Wagener-of which town he is
the present mayor-and enVirons, al
legged threats of dire violence to his
person in the event that he should re-
turn to his home.
When interviewed at Aiken ThErs-
day Mr.. Long, without am snow OF
hesitancy, announced that he, too,
had heard these rumors, but that he
believed them to be without any very
material foundation, since they had
emanted from irresponsible sources.
He admitted that, as result OF the
spirit of local factionalism in Wag-
ener, springing from the fact that
two residents from the town were In
the race for the House Of Represent
atives, considerable bitterness was
felt by his non-supporters over his
election.
However, Mr.. Long stated that he
accredited his strongest lolitical en-
emies with the possession Of too
much manhood too much strength Of
character and purpose, too high a
sense of justice, to give Veat to any
such foolish threats, and any such
puerile chickering's, as have been re-
ceived in Aiken, and alleged to have
come from Wagner. And in this
connection, he reiterated his belief
that the threats had come from ire
sponsible persons, who were incap-
able of realizing the enormity OF
their expressions, thoughtlessly made
and without the sanction Of his po-
litical opposers, for, he said, it was
foolish to make such threats, and
would be more serious still to en-
deavor to execute them, simply be-
cause the majority of the voters Of
Aiken County had seen fit to select
him as one Of their representatives
in the State legislative body.
Mr.. Long stated that several times
during his absence from Wagner his
Office had been surreptitiously enter
ed, even broken into, for the purpose,
he believed, Of gaining access to his
private papers and such records as he
might have on file. Concluding the
interview, MT. Long stated that,
as an evidence of his disbelief in the
alleged threats of violence, he was
certainly going back to Wagner, his
home, so soon as he shall have made
adjustment of certain political mat
ters now demanding his attention
and mis- presence in Aiken.

Held Up MAIL TRAIN
BANDS GOT ssoO,ooo IN TENNEs-
SEE TRAIN ROBBERY.
Without Firing Single Shot, Four
Yeggmen Got Into the Mail Car,
Rifled Sacks and Escaped.

Four banditds took 100000 IN
registered letters and other valuable
registered mail from the New York
and Memphis fast mail express of the
Southern railroad at Stevens Gap,
Ala, early one morning last week.
A posses was put on the trail of the
men as soon as the train reached
Huntsville, Ala, but the bandits have
not been caught.
The holdup was made without fir
ing a shot or molesting a passenger,
and the conductor Of the train did
not know anything out Of the ord1n-
ary had occurred until the train was
stopped and he went into the mail car
and found the clerks bound to the
side of the car.
According to the story Of the mall
clerks, the train was stopped at Ste
ven's Gap for water, when a rap was
heard on the door, and voice said:
"Open it; this is Mcmahon, the
conductor"
The door was slipped open at once
and the mail clerk looked into the
barrel of a revolver. About the same
time another bandit jumped into the
car and ordered all hands up.
One of the mail clerks, James
Flint, attempted to pick up a Win
chester rifle that lay within easy
reach, but quiet even voice made
him change his mind.
Forget it and fall in hne," said
the voice.
The train left Stevens Gap before
the bandits got to work and had run
about Is miles before they had finish
ed their job. When all the regis
tered mail had been rifled one Of the
bandits pulled the cord applying the
air brakes and stopped the train. The
robbers then jumped off, conveying
with them three sacks of registered
mail.
When Conductor Mcmahon came
forward he saw the mail car door
open and, looking inside, saw the
mail clerks plight. He released them
and started the train on for Hunts
vile, where posse was organized
and sent back to the scene. The
posse had bloodhounds.

KILLED IN PISTOL DUEL.
Policeman Shot by Brother Officer
and Room Mate.

When J. w Camp, bicycle police
man, and S. A. Beilding, patrolman
of Atlanta, Ca, room mates, became
angered Saturday morning over a
trivial matter, both reached for their
loaded revolvers lying on bureau in
their room. Camp was the quicker
and ended the quarrel with a. bullet,
killing his friend instantly. They
had roomed together for years. A
policeman on the beat found Officer
Camp sitting by Beilding's body. 1T

friend. It's awful, isn't it? But 1
had to kill him to save myself" !"
Camp said Beilding had asked him

when he did not comply quick
enough Beilding became angry.

HEN LAYS A VERY QUEER EGG
A Small Iron Ball Found in an Egg
Laid by Spartanburg Hen.

A Spartanburg dispatch says a few
days ago when the wife of H. S. Grif-
fin was breaking a fresh hen egs
something heavy dropped out. When
she examined it it was found to be
solid iron ball, a half-inch II diam
eter with neat screw running near
ly through the ball. Between the
head of the screw and the ball there
were two square washers. There are
two mysteries in this case. How
did an once ball get in the egg?
Where did the ball come from an!
for what was it used. Did any one

MONEY WAS Stolen
BIG SUM MYsTERIOUsLY DIsAP.
PEARS IN TRANSIT.
When Opened in Pay Car Large Pack
age Was Stuffed With Magazine
Pages.

A package containing $4,000
mysteriously disappeared In transit
from the First National Bank, In PEN
sacola, Fla, to officials Of the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad at Flom-
atom, Ala. The money was part OF q
shipment Of $4,000, intended as q
pay roll and was in bills OF small
denominations.
Details of the robbery, which Is
said to have occurred Wednesday, DID
not become public until Saturday.
Reports we're current that the west
bound Louisville and Nashville train,
leaving Pensacola Wednesday morn
ing, had been held up and robbed,
but this was emphatically denied
late Saturday by railroad officials at
that city. Private detectives and
special agents Of the railroad and
Southern Express Company are there
investigating the affair.
The money was put up in two seal
ed packages at the bank, one con-
eaining $4,000 and the other $780,
900. These packages were delivered
to the Southern Express Company
and in turn delivered by them to the
Louisville and Nashville pay car at
Flamaton, to be used in paying OH
the car came South to Pensacola.
On bein gopened in the pay car, 1t
is said, the larger package was found
to contain a roll Of pages from q
magazint in place Of the money. The
express messengers, it is said, claim
the seals on the packages were un.
broken while the packages were n
their care.
No report had been made Satur'
day night by detectives Investigating
the matter and railroad and express
officials refused to discuss the disap'
pearance OF the money.
Several months ago three traiT
robbers who held up the New Orleans
and Northeastern train near Hatties

$4,000 in currency, representing
The railroad company's pay roll TO,
