WAS FATE OF
MRS. ROGAN
FUNERAL HELD THURSDAY
She and Her Husband Were On a
Vacation Trip-Lost Balance
and Fell From the Car.

Mrs. Lille Rogan, wife of Rev. j. w.
Rogan, pastor of the Red Bank Pres,
byteran church, was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon. She met her death
at Great Darlington, Mass, while on a
vacation trip with her husband. They
left Red Bank yesterday morning with
prospects of having pleasant outing.
Late last night Mrs. Rogans dead body
was carried into the parsonage on Wal
= lace street.
Mrs. Rogan was killed by being
thrown from trolley car. She and
her husband had planned to make a
trip through the New England states
They were to have been gone three or
four weeks. They had expected TO
make most of the journey on electric
railway lines, and had planned tospend
last night at Great Darlington. Today
they had expected to be at Pittsfield.
They had planned to wind up their
trip at Northfield, Mass.
Rev. and Mrs. Rogan were on an
electric car of the Berkshire electric
railway company near Great Barring
ton yesterday afternoon when the acci-
dent occurred. Mrs. Rogan was sitting
on the outside of the seat Her husband
was sitting some distance away, the
baggage of the couple being between
the two. The car was going at fast
rate of speed and in turning corner it
gave such sudden lurch that Mrs. Ro-
gan lost her balance and fell frora the
seat to the ground. Mr. Rogan was
too far away to prevent his wife from
falling.
1t all happened so suddenly that
Mrs. Rogan was lying dead on the
ground before hardly any one on the
car realized that she had been thrown
from the car. The car was going at
such great speed that she must have
been thrown with great force to the
ground. She fell backward, landing
on her head. The back of her head was
crushed in aud her forehead was bruis-
ed. Several passengers in the car lost
their seats and fell to the floor when
the car took the curve, but none of
them was hurt.
So fast was the car going that 1t took
the motorman some time to bring it to
q stop and go back to investigate the
accident. Mrs. Rogan was found dead
along side of the tracks. Her skull
was fractured and death must have
been instantaneous. Doctors were
summoned, but Mrs. Rogan was past
medical aid and their services were
unavailing.
News of the accident reached Red
Bank yesterday afternoon. The first
man to receive telegram regarding
Mrs. Rogan's death was Newton Dore-
mus, an official of the Presbyterian
church. The telegram was from Mr..
Rogan and stated that Mrs. Rogan had
been killed by being thrown from .
trolley car at Great Darlington, Mass
The news caused great shock to the
friends and acquaintances of Mr.. and

PARTY ILLS ARE
TO BE CURED
FROM WITHIN ITS RANKS
Primaries Are All Right in His
Opinion, But They Should be
Legalized is Statement.

Chattanooga, Aug. 3.-Hon. Thomas
r. Preston, defeated candidate for the
Rubernatorial nomination in Thurs
days primary, today announced that
he would support Hon. Benton Nc
Millin in the November election, Mr..
| Preston declares he believes the exist.
ing evils can best be combatted within
the party and for that reason he will
give his hearty support to the nominee
of the democratic party.
His statement in full follows:
II shall never cease to be grateful to
my friends over the state. My heart
is filled with gratitude for the over
~helming majority received in Can
non county, where | was born and
reared, and in Hamilton county where
| have lived all of my mature years.
No expression of confidence equals
that of ones neighbors.
"The complete returns. will show
that Governor McMillin carried fifty
nine counties, carried thirty.six and
Mr.. Faulkner one. The frauds in some
of the larger Middle Tennessee count
les, and the outragei in Shelby county
which were wired and telephoned to.
almost every precinct in the state on
the morning of the primary by Gov
McMillin's friends, / believe changed
the result. 1t certainly kept thous-
ands of my independent friends over
the state from voting. think the
majority of my votes were regulars.
"Over $4,000 voters registered in
Shelby county, and certainly if there
had been a primary there not less
than 10000 votes would have been
cast, and | believe 50 per cent. of them
would have been for me. In nearly
all of the county districts of Shelby
county, no ballott boxes registration
books or ballots were sent. In the
city of Memphis primary boxes were
in the most inaccessible places, in one
instance over half a mile from a car
line, in an open field; another over
mile from the regular voting place in
the county election, another entirely
out of the ward, etc, all in plain viola
tion of the primary plan. If the voters
of Shelby county can thus be disfran
chiSed, why can not the voters of the
entire state be disfranchised, should it
become necessary in the eyes of the
machine to do SO?
"Chairman Morton, of the demo-
cratic executive committee, who was
strong for McMillin, and stronger for |
Governor Patterson for the senate, |
possible could not have prevented the
frauds in Shelby and elsewhere, but so
far as ! have been informed he never
even raised the finger of one hand in
an attempt, and | understand further
that he never 80 much as wrote
a postal card in protest, though it was
as much his duty to see that received
a square deal as to protect Governor
McMillin's interests.
81 do not blame Governor McMillin
in the least in this matter, neither
should the democratic party be held
responsible.
''Primaries are good things, but
should be legalized, thus doing away
with the inviting temptation to pad
returns or commit other frauds.
81 have not the slightest bitterness as
the result of my brief experience in the
political arena, and expect to support
the nominee, as believe the evils can
be best cured within the party ranks.n

Greenville, May 6.-Perfect har-
mony prevailed in the Greenville
county convention today and the at
tendance was the largest in decade.
Ex-Gov. Ansel was elected temporary
chairman by reclamation and D. B.
iraxier temporary secretary. w.
Mills Mooney was elected county
chairman for the next two years over
y. g. Greer and Thos. Hughes. Mr..
Mooney succeeds C. B. Smith. H. B,
Ingram was elected member of the
State executive committee to succeed,
j. z. Bramlett.
While the gubernatorial race was
not discussed directly in the conven-
ton 1t is certain that all delegates
are Jones men.
An important act of the conyen-
ton was the passage of a resolution
introduced by Lewis w. Parker. urp-
ing that the State convention make
certain changes so that when a can
didate for Office should die opportu-
nifty would be given other candidates

present senatorial race in this state.
declaring that if Mr.. Tillman should
die other men should be given the
opportunity to enter.
G. d. Smith offered a resolution of
sympathy of Senator Tillman and in
dorsement Of his candidacy. After
amendment by L. w. Parker, it was
adopted. The resolution expressed
sympathy for the senator and appre-
citation for his past services. The sec

For Jones and Blease.

Greenwood, May Cat the county
convention here today the following
eight delegates to the State conven-
tion were elected: C. A. C.. Waller
Greenwood; j. w. Bowers, Epworth;
w. H. Nicholson, Greenwood; w. G.
Rice, Coronaca; ]. N. Lipscomb, Nine
ty-Six; w. C. Harrison, Bradley; H.
L. Watson, Greenwood; G. B. Riley,
Rileys.
The convention was the largest the
county has ever had. The only fight
was over the manner of electing del
egates, motion having been made by
K. F. Blake to have a committee of
three-Maj. S. P. Brooks, w. L. An
derson and v. R. Hinton-nominate
delegates. B. L. Mcdowell, as leader
of the Blease forces, Intellectually
sought to defeat the motion. He was
overwhelmingly voted down.
After the delegates had been
named Mr.. Mcdowell asked to put
an opposition ticket before the con-
vention, which was granted him; but
after some little parley he withdrew
his request. He and IL others voted
against the eight named out of the
133 voting. While no resolution was
INTRODUCED to materialize expression,
it was unquestionably an anti-Blease
convention.
James B. Park, one of the most
level-headed men in this section of
the State, was elected executive COM
mitteeman. He succeeds D. H. Ma
gill, who has been executive COM
mitteeman for long time. Mr.. Park
was overwhelmingly elected. The
delegation to the State convention
goes uninstructed.
While the nominating committee
was at work C. C. Featherstone pro-
posed that the convention express its
sentiments ON the presidential nomi-
nation, and moved that the sense of
the convention was that Woodrow
Wilson should be the Democratic
nominee. S. H. McGhee moved TO
amend by allowing supporters of
all candidates to express their pref
erence by rising. This was done. Out
of the 1873 delegates 122 stood up for
Wilson and II for Underwood.
Neither Harmon nor Clark had sup
porter in the convention.

R. S. Stewart of Lancaster was
unanimously elected chairman Of the
county executive committee from the
make up of the convention which Was
the largest and most enthusiastic
held in many years and from express
sions of opinion from leading citi-
zens and politicians from every sec.
ton of the county there is absolutely
no doubt of the fact that Judge Jones
will carry this county by an over-
whelming majority, Notwithstanding
persistent reports in other parts of
the State to the contrary, which are
without the slightest foundation. It
was noticed and commented on that
Senator T. ]. Strait, Gov. yBlease's
strongest supporter in the State sem
ate and leading supporter in this
county was not elected from his club
as a delegate to the county conven-
ton. The delegates to the State con-

strongly inclined to Woodrow Will

ficers and delegates, instructed its
delegates to vote for Instructions for
Woodrow Wilson for president and
Endorsed Judge Jones for governor.
The split came after the vote for
permanent chairman, when Edward
Griswold was declared elected by one
vote over j. Walter Doar. The Doar
supporters claimed that there were
too many ballots in the hat.
Then the credentials committee re-
ported in favor of seating the Court
House club delegates, and the con-
vention proceeded to business. The
following delegates were elected: G..

/
Anderson, May 6.-The Jones
forces captured the Anderson county
Democratic convention today, elect
ing Jones men as delegates to the
State convention and Jones men as
officers of the convention. The con-
vention went on record as indorsing
a presidential preferential primary
for South Carolina to be held in June.
1t also went on record as indorsing
the position taken by the South Caro-
lima representatives in congress with
regard to the downward revision of
the, tariff, and urged that the tariff
be lifted off the necessaries of life
and imposed only for the support of
the government economically run.
Gen. M. L. Bonham was unani-
mouSly reelected president of the con-
vention and John E. Breazeale was

they had made known their positions
with regard to changing the rules
governing the ballot in the primaries.
Mr.. Smith contended that such ac-
tion was unDemocratic.
Ex-senator Hood then introduced
motion, which was adopted, in
structing the delegates to vote
against any change in the rules regu-
lating the ballot in the primaries.
The motion to have the chair an
point the committee as originally

clared nat he represented no candi-
date in the approaching primary, but.
that he spoke for good Democracy's

this paper contained the names of ID

that II, was forcing list of candi-
