at Union tabernacle last night the
frigid terrors Of his polar trip in
search of the north pole, swarm of
bees that had taken refuge in the
building from the recent cold weather

made it hot for the audience.
Several people were stung by the
bees, and even Dr.. Cook would pause
frequently to dig one of his neck.
Two people were stung three times
each. The bees got thawed out just
enough to drop among the audience
and crawl about Had they been

Greenbrier on February /. Several
bids were forwarded to carry the mail
from Convey to Gree ,orier, but the To-
al postoliice has not yet been advised

that the department is giving consid

the order may yet be rescinded.

and cotton. The efficiency of the new
agriculture is being demonstrated.

STATE FARMERS UNION.
Annual Meeting to be Held in Column.
bia July "a and p.

The program for the annual meet
| ing of the State union is now in the
hands of the printer. The meeting
will begin at 3 p. M, Wednesday, July
"a, and continue through the 25th. The
reports of the various standing COM
mittees at the opening session will be
interesting. The night session of the
oath will be an educational one and
will be open to the public.
Except for some routine business,
the entire day Thursday will be devot-
ed to study OF marketing" At the
morning session we expect to have
Editor Hunnicutt of the Southern Cul-
tivator discuss marketing, especially
as applied to farm produce"
At noon there will be an address by
Hon. Charles S. Barrett, president Of
the National union.
At 3 p. m. Hon. J. L. McIaurin will
discuss Cotton Warehousing, Market
ing and Banking from the standpoint
of the State warehouse system.
At 5 p. N. Hon. T. w. Carter, presi-
dent of the Mississippi Farmers un-

sent their plan of marketing the cot
ton crop.
At $50 p. m. another plan of CO.
operative financing and marketing will
be presented by representative of the
S. S. Trust company, which is pro-
posed to be organized.
Among these three plans, and 9TH
ers that may be advanced, we conf
IDENTIFY expect to be able to select one
that will be effective. It is possible
that some two of these plans may be
worked out together more satisfactor-
lily than any one by itself.
With all the preliminary work that
has been done by the officers and COM
mittees of the State and County unions,
this bids fair to be the most progress
sive meeting ever held by the State
Farmers union of South Carolina. In
behalf of the officers and committees,
and the great practical and increas-
ingly important cause Of marketing, %
we do cordially invite every County
union to be represented, and all MEM
bers in good standing to attend.

The Columbia, Newberry and Laur-

crews and own engines. The passen-
ger trains are still solid through pas

The c., N. & L. crew which goes out
On the early mixed train from Colum-
bia to Laurens will operate the pas
senger back to Columbia in the after
noon, the arrangement being along
this line throughout.
The c., n. & L. will use its new big
engines, Nos. and 8, in passenger
service. These engines are late models,
and could make a much faster sche-
dule than that in operation On the
roads in this section, if it were advis-
able.
There is no change in the schedules,
under the new arrangement.
AS is known. the new arrangement
affects only passengers Nos. 50 and SO,

"SaYS HE PUT GRAFT"
UNDER CHIEFS DOOR
CHARLESTON LIQUOR DEALER BE.
FORE COMMISSION.
Swears He Paid Sixty Dollars Per
Month to Chief Stothart, Of Char.
lesion for "PrOtecti0n."

Columbia, July 18.-That he paid
Chief Stothart, of the Charleston con-
stabulary, $50 per month, for "protec-
ton" from raids, by collecting amounts
from his customers each month, and
placing the amount in an envelope un-
der the door of Chief Stothart's Office
monthly, was sworn to On the stand
here this afternoon by ]. P. 3. O'Neill,
who swore that he was a wholesale
liquor dealer in Charleston up to June
II, as a member of the Marion Stock
company.
O'Neill stated that in the aggregate
this amount of graft" he paid monthly
to Chief Stothart was $50 and he gave
the names of the men he collected
from.
When he first went on the stand
O'Neill answered reluctantly and every
time a question was ssked him, he
would first ask: "Will that incriminate,
me?" Pleading that it would in
criminate him if he told what business
he was in, O'Neill secured a lawyer,
but the committee, on the ground that
this was not a criminal trial, ruled
that O'Neill could not have refuge be-
hind the answer that the question
might incriminate him. They insisted
On his answering the question, and on
his declining to do so, Chairman Car
Isle instructed that O'Nei!l be ruled in
contempt and asked the stenographer
to telephone for the sheriff.
Under the Door.
Finally, as O'Neill expressed it, 'to
avoid being put in JAIL" he detailed
the testimony here outlined,
stating that as a wholesale liquor
dealer in the city of Charleston he COL
lected stated amounts monthly from
his customers and paid this over to
Chief Stothart, of the constabulary,
every month, by placing it in an en-
velepe and leaving it under the door
of Stothart's Office. AS result of this
graft" the witness swore, his custom
ers received protection"
Henry Hasselmeyer, the other wit
ness, admitted he was liquor dealer
| in Charleston, but swore he had not
only paid no protection" money to
Stothart, but that he had never even
heard of such such graft until the
Irecent publication of it in the newspa-
pers. He denied having met the clash
ing Mr.. Wilson," Burns's detective,
who photographed" in Charleston dur
ing temporary residence there when
he posed as a crook and gambler, and
said that he didn't know him.
James S. Farnum was present, hav-
ing been subpoenaed, but the commit
tee adjourned late this afternoon with
out having put him On the stand. He
will probably be examined at a later
meeting of the committee

Malice and Spite of the Former and

Yorkville Enquirer.
Having long ago lost all the faith we
ever had in Mr.. Thomas B. Fielder, OF
course we were not seriously shocked
at the result of that Augusta hearing.
We will not claim that it would have
surprised US if something had really
been brought out, for with all the in
sinuation, vituperation and abuse that
has been going on it was almost inn
possible for reasonable people to be
entirely confident. And then when it
developed that Mr.. w. J. Burns, the
greatest detective in the world, was
ON the case, it seemed certain that if
there was anything to develop that
something would certainly be develop
ed. But as the outcome of it all, it will
have to be confessed that there was a
complete fall down. Instead of de-
stroying Governor Blease as he prom
ised, Mr.. Fielder put the committee in
a position of considerable embarrass-
ment and eliminated himself as a
further factor in the situation. Any
body can see now, as the Enquirer
suggested months ago, that Felder's
activity has no other basis than per-
sonal malice and spite. He was cha
grined because of Governor Blease's
action in separating him from the bal
ance of the big fees that were almost
within his grasp in connection with
the settling of the estate Of the dead
dispensary, and with smallness that
would be pitiable were it not so con-
temptible, he has merely been playing
for even.

And so Detective Reed, alias Mr..
Porter, has decided that he would not
come to South Carolina to face Mr..
Nichols because he could have no pro-
lection" He said over IN Augusta that
he would face Mr.. Nichols, and he
Smiled when he was saying it. We do
not know exactly what TO think about
that. This writer has slight per-
sonal acquaintance with S. ]. Nichols,
and knows a little more about him
from general reputation. MI. Nichols
was born a gentleman and reared as
such, and ordinarily is as pleasant and
agreeable a man as ANYBODY wants to
meet. If anybody is inclined to get the
impression that he is a whisky sot,
that impression is wrong. AS may be
seen from what has been and is being
published, he has taken more whisky
than was good for him at times; but
in this regard is no worse than thou
sands of young men who have not had
the ill-luck to fall into such unpleas-
ant notoriety along this line. He is
mot quarrelsome under any circum-
stances; that is he is not a bullying
seeker after trouble. But he has plen-
ty of physical courage, and is quick
to resent an intended insult. He will
fight on occasion and he will fight fair,
either fist and skull or with deadly
weapons, whichever way the other fell
low wants to fight. AS to what would
happen if Reed should go to Columbia,
of course We do not know. We are
quite sure that nobody would take any
unfair advantage of MIN. He would
certainly not be assassinated. The
Nichols are not that kind Of people.
But We have an idea that Mr.. Reed
would have to listen 10 solG4 very un-
complimentary talk about himself that
would come straight to his face, and
it would be talk that would put him
under the necessity Of 6ghting like

the governors mansion Sunday by
charging that they were drunk, and
if one of these fellows ever comes to
my house again and uses the language
he did on Sunday somebody will have
to carry him out" said the speaker
amid shouts and cheers from the spec
tators.
He told his hearers that if any man
came to their house and used the IAN
guage these men did and they shot
him, he would pardon them. He said
these two Greenville men were not
real Red Men; that they may have
their names on the roll, but by the
time their tribe met three more times
they would be kicked out. He scored
them severely and said referring to the
fact that the papers had called these
two men gentlemen in printing tnelr
card. eff they be gentlemen, then
feel sorry for the hoboes in South
Carolina"
Applause Aplenty.
The governors appeal to the factory
people not to- allow the cotton mill
owners to control their votes, and his
laudation of them, brought forth
mighty cheer from the many OF them
in the audience.
Many ladies were present and the
governor, with a few minor Interrupt
tions, held the undivided attention OF
the crowd. One man kept on plying
the governor with questions, and twice
the chief executive asked him ito shut
up." Once during his speech shout,
sHurrah for the dictagraph," was
heard.
