Decree Enjoins Major Richardson.

Columbia, Sept. 3.-Judge Geo. w.
Gage, this morning temporarily en-
joined the comptroller general from
paying money on warrants issued by
H. W. Richardson, chairman and
treasurer of the commissioners OF
the Old Soldiers Infirmary. The pc
tition for Injunction was filed by
Attorney J. J. McMahan, alleging
that Commissioner Richardson had
been receiving a salary of Sl00 a
month and that $50 per month had
been paid to DR.. F. P. w. Butler.
1t is alleged that this is contrary to
the law as commissioners are not to
receive any reimbursement for ser
vices other than their actual expenses
incident to attending meetings of the
board. The order is made returnable
on September 9th.
Major Richardson is strong sup
porter of Gov. Blease and a fight has
been waged on him by some of the
old soldiers at the Confederate home,
alleging that he was attempting to
dictate to them as to how they should
vote.

The ''Beggars' News"

One of the most remarkable jour-
nails in the world is the "Beggars'
Journal now published weekly in
Paris. The columns of the paper are
filled with advertisements calculated
to attract the eye of it's readers, and
some of it's lads" throw new light
on the beggars' profession.
"Wanted, blind man who can
play little on the f1ute.''
"Wanted, a cripple, for a well-pat-
ronized resort; one who has lost his
right arm preferred. Must be able
to give references and a security"
The "Beggars' Journal" also con-
tains regular notices from mendicant
agents and bureaus, of which there
are many in Paris, which endeavor
to procure for the various large in
stitutions and health resorts beggars
able to deal with all situations likely
to arise in their business. Fre-
quently one may find announcements
of approaching weddings, baptisms
and funerals, and a list of the COM
ing birthdays and parties given by
persons of wealth.

Huge Floating Dock.

The huge floating dock Duke OF
Connaught, built at Barrow for =
Montreal shipyard, has started on its
leisurely voyage across the Atlantic
in tow of two powerful Dutch tugs.
1t is the second largest dock in the
world. Over 700 feet in length, It
had to be launched in three sections.
1t is capable of receiving the largest
battleship ever built or planned.
Allowing for an average speed OF
five knots, the voyage to Montreal
will take about six weeks, but should
the weather be bad, two months or
more will elapse before she reaches
the other side. The rope hawsers
used for towing the dock are eighteen
inches in circumference. Wire cables
also connect the tugs with the dock.
A party of the builders workmen
are making the voyage, some of them
being housed on the dock, while 9TH
ers have quarters on the tugs. The
dock also carries an extra cargo OF
coal which can be supplied to the
tugs in mid-ocean if necessary. Each
tug carries provisions for six months
and 70 tons of frozen water.

TROOPS PREVENT RACE WAR.
Gov. Brown Sends Soldiers to Scene
of Impending Trouble.

Cummins, Ca, Sept. 1.-Two COM
panies of State troops were rushed
here to-day by Gov. Brown to pre-
vent impending trouble between the
whites and negroes, growing out of
the severe beating administered to
Grant Smith, negro preacher, on the
public square because of alleged in
sulting remarks rejecting upon the
women of this place. The blacks had
threatened to dynamite the town if
any negroes were lynched, but after
the troops arrived the situation be-
came quiet and at late hour to-day
no actual clash was thought prob
able
Two negroes were arrested to-day,
charged with attempted assault upon
white women Thursday night, five
miles from this place. They were
brought to prison here. There was
no excitement until Smith expressed
his opinion; whereupon crowd set
upon him and beat him almost in
sensible. He was rescued by the Of
fcers and locked up in the vaults at
the court house.
There were threats of lynching,
followed by rumors from negro pic
mic and barbecue near town of plots
for dynamiting the town in the event
any negroes were lynched. Excite
ment spread and the town filled rap
idly with white men from outlying
districts and the negroes from the
barbecue. The officials Immediately
appealed to Gov. Brown with the re-
suit that one company from Gaines
vile and another from Marietta were
rushed here in automobiles, arriv-
ing shortly after noon.
Leaving thirteen militiamen on
guard the two companies of State
troops, rushed here to-day to pre-
vent rioting, left for Marietta, Ca,
tonight. They took with them Grant
Smith, the negro preacher who was
whipped, and five negroes arrested
as suspects in connection with the at
tempted assault on a white woman
Thursday. One of the negroes is
reported to have confessed to the at.
tempted assault.

ELECTION RUMORS.
Blease and Jones May Run in Cen
eral Election.

Columbia, Sept. 6.-That the wide
spread debauchery of the late South
Carolina primary will lead to settle
ment of all differences at the general
election the second Tuesday in No.
vember now seems the predominant
opinion among those who are in
closest touch with members of the
State executive committee. 6
While the subcommittee which
will probe charges of, crookedness at
the polls beginning next Wednesday
has given out no intimation of what
it intends recommending to the full
committee if fraud charges are
proven, it is generally conceded that
the risk of fraud in second pri-
mary would be almost as great as in
the first primary, and it is this dan
ger of illegal practices that the COM
mittee, with all good Democrats,
wish to avoid.
Ordering the names of Judge Jones
and Gov. Blease before the voters at
the general election is entirely with
in the legal rights of the executive
committee. If affairs take this turn
the election will undou btedly be con-
Quoted with fairness as only those
bearing registration certificates can
vote. The registration books closed
to-day. This precludes the over zeal
Gus and illegal voters from getting
busy at late date. There'll be no
stuffing the boxes if the committee
makes this disposition of the case.
That the State is veritable seeth-
ing caldron of discomfort over the
manner in which the primary was
conducted cannot be disputed. From
every quarter the rumbling of public
opinion can be heard.
The primary system is on trial.
Will the committee vindicate it?
The committee declares it will
know no man nor set of men in the
discharge of it's duty. Looking
straight ahead with no object in view
but to determine the truth, the COM
mittee will probe to the very heart
of the crookedness, turning on the
light and applying the remedy need

Knives Found in Stomach.

Chicago, Sept. 7.-When physlci-
ans operated upon John Martinez at
the county hospital to-day to learn
what had caused the terrible pains
in his stomach" they found nineteen
pocket knives, seventeen nails, five
knife blades, a dozen screws and a
silver dollar.
Martinez, who has been known to
Chicagoans as 1.-The human tool
chest" swallowed the articles on
wagers. They never hurt me-" said
Martinez before the operation, but
sometimes I'd get terrible pains in
my stomach"
Physicians pronounced the opera
ton as successful. Martinez is SO
years old and is a laborer.
The pocket knives, screws and 9TH
er articles removed from Martinez S
stomach were mounted on card board
by superintendent T. P. Teters, of the
hospital, and placed on exhibition at
the institution.
"All of the articles were lodged in
a corner of the stomach said the
surgeon who operated on Martinez
IAN ulcer had formed and the man
would have died within month ii
he had not been operated upon."
Ten knives from Mariners stom-
ach had been bone handled, but the
bone had been dissolved by the gas
trio juices.
A silver dollar which Martinez
swallowed ten years ago was as
bright as if the coin had just come
from the mint. The juices of the
stomach had kept the silver in a
highly polished condition. Some OF
the knife blades were rusty.

Kills Attacker While on Picket

Charleston, W. Va, Sept. 7.-Ac-
cording to a report received here Ar
tifcer George Long, Company B, shot
and killed one of an attacking party
while on picket duty near Sharon in
the Kanawha coalfeld to-day.
1t is the first fatal shooting since
martial law was declared by Cover
nor Glasscock in the strike region.
Long was on sentry duty near a
wood and had been fired on number
of times from ambush. He noted
the spot from which the bullets ap-
peaced to come and fired, killing one
of the attacking party.
Shooting is also reported to have
occurred at Burnwell, on Paint Creek
but details are not available as all
wires into the trouble section have
been cut. Additional troops have
