GEORGIAN WANTS REWARD.
Writes Governor for Warrant and
Will Serve it in Baltimore.

Columbia, June 7.-Governor
Blease told the newspaper men to-
day that he had received a letter from
a citizen of Georgia, asking for one
Of the warrants for Thomas B. Eel
der, stating that he expected to go
to Baltimore and arrest Fielder and
get the 5000 reward offered for the
arrest of Fielder, who is wanted in
this State on charge of attempting
to bribe a State official and of con-
spiracy to defraud the State. Gov
ernor Blease said that he will reply
to the Georgian, sending him one of
the original warrants.
There are three warrants, said the
governor pending against Fielder in
this State now, and one of these will
be sent to the Georgian. He further
said that he will, if Fielder is arrest
ed, ask the governor of Maryland to
allow Fielder to be brought back to
South Carolina.
One of the warrants for Felder's
arrest is in the hands of magistrate
of Newberry county. Governor Blease
stated that this warrant had been
sworn out since the indictment of
Fielder in Newberry last year and the
return of mo bill" by the Newber-
ry grand jury, and the chief execu-
tive~went on to say that he had no
new evidence against Fielder that
will lead to his conviction on the
charges preferred against him.
An Atlanta newspaper stated
Wednesday that Fielder was in Chica-
go on business trip and that it was
not known there which way he would
take to go to the Baltimore conven-
ton, but that he would probably go
by way of points in Tennessee and
Virginia. If Fielder does not pass
through the State there will be no
chance to arrest him in South Caro-
lima. '.n
Gov. Blease is determined in his
statement that he intended to push
the cases against Fielder and to do
all in his power to secure his arrest
and conviction.

FIVE TO DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR.
South Carolina's New Mode of Capt.
tai Punishment i'm Effect in July.

Five prisoners in South Carolina
are standing within the lawful shad-
ow of the electric chair, and these
will be the first to pay the death pen
atty since the substitution of the
chair for the gallows.
The chair has not yet been Install
ed at the penitentiary, though it is
not likely that there will be any
hitch in the execution of the death
sentence by reason in placing the
chair in the death house which is
being constructed within the prison
walls. According to the contract
with the manufacturers the chair
must have been completed and ready
for operation before the first of July.
saumel N. Hyde, the Anderson
man who killed his wife and her
father asked Judge Prince, who SEN
fenced him last week, to place the
time so that he might be the first
man to die in the electric chair IN
South Carolina. July 5 was the date
named for the execution of Hyde.
July 5 is also the date for the exc
cution of Ernest Mulwee, colored, OF
Walhalla, convicted of murder. On
July IL another negro must go to
the chair. He is William Reed, OF
Starr. Anderson county, convicted of
attempted criminal assault.
The month of July will be exceed
ingly notable for the number of exc
cutions that will take place in the
death chair in the penitentiary. In
addition to the three condemned pris-
oners two Charleston negroes, Cole
and Butler, murderers, have reached
the penitentiary to await the day for
the execution which has been set for
July 21. They took their last jour-
ney on earth Sunday, arriving in Co.
lumbia Sunday night.
Mulwee and Reed have been pris-
oners at the penitentiary for two
weeks or more and Hyde is the only
one of the condemned men who have
not yet reached the penitentiary. The
law provides that person condemn
ed to death must remain in the coun-
ty Jail not more than 20 days and
not less than two days before the
time set for the execution. So Hyde
will Join the other condemned men
not more than two weeks from now.

TRIED TO RUN DOWN STORY.
Hendersonville Chief of Police Visited
jacksonville to Investigate.


Jacksonville to Investigate.
Hendresonvilie, N. C., June g.
w. A. Garren, chief Of police, who
has been chiefly instrumental In
working up evidence in the Hawkins
case, returned to-day from Jackson
vile where he spent the past week In
running down the story of witnesses
that Myrtle Hawkins was living there,
armed with photographs of one
Myrtle West, who, according to the
officer, somewhat resembles Myrtle
Hawkins, and who went under that
name. Chief Garren is confident that
w. o. Shellnutt saw Myrtle Haney,
who also claimed that she Was Myrtle
Hawkins, but from what he could
learn of her bore very little resem-
blance. She was the one whose pho
tograph was introduced in evidence,
it is understood, and who stopped
with Stella Wilson, whose affidavit
was read in court.

KILLS WIFE, COMMITS SUICIDE.
Double Tragedy Occurs in Westville,
Kershaw County.

Camden, June IA telephone
message this morning from West
vile, small station on the Southern
Railway, ten miles above Camden,
says that on Wednesday night Oscar
Wright, a negro, shot and killed his
wife and then turned the weapon up
on himself and ended his own life.
Wright and his wife had been living
in one of the houses at the Oil Mill
here, where he has been employed
during the past year.
/ Wright's wife left Camden on
Wednesday morning for her old home
and, after o'clock in the afternoon.
he followed her there. Their mar.
ried life had not been very happy,
and upon reaching there, it is said,
he sought her at her old home and
shot her several times, killing her
instantly. He then turned the pistol
upon himself and shot several times.
He fell in 4 hole in the yard, where
dirt had been taken away for chin
ney. The dead woman's brother
heard the shooting, and seeing his Sis
ter dead, went into the yard and shot
Wright several times with shotgun,
thinking him alive.
Corr Dixon held an inquest,
and the verdict rendered was that the
woman came to her death by wounds
from the hands of Wright, and
Wright came to his death by self in
ficted wounds. The dead woman's
brother admitted shooting Wright,
but said that he thought he was alive
when he fired upon him, one Of the
shots taking effect in his body and
the other in the head, and several
missing his body. Manager Eve, of
the Oil Mill, said that Wright was one
of the best workmen at his mill.

I hereby announce myself as
candidate for Solicitor of the second
judicial circuit of South Carolina,
and pledge myself to abide the result
of the Democratic primary. On &C
count of the fact of having 70 hold
four terms of court during the
months of June and July, it will be
impossible for me to make a thor
ough canvass of the circuit, but I
trust that doing my duty, will ap-
peal to the voters as much as the
popular mode of electioneering.

LOOKS NOW LIKE TAFT.
Senator E. d. Smith Thinks President
Sure of Nomination.

Washington, June 5.-Senator E.
D. Smith was a visitor at the White
House to-day, and as he was leaving
he was asked if he did not believe
the president would be renominated
by the Republican party. In reply,
he said:
eyes, it's all over. It's going to be
sad day for the Roosevelt people.
The victory of the president in Ohio
will have big influence with certain
Southern delegates, who have been
under suspicion of turning to Roose-
velt. They are going to turn the way
the tide is running, and the tide is
now with Taft.

Flies Stars and Stripes as Protection
from Maurauders.
There is at least one American in
the Island of Cuba in which the peo-
pie of this city are interested. This
American is Mr.. Emmett c. Dibble,
who is at Guam, In the province OF
Oriente, in which province a consid-
erable spirit of unrest has prevailed
during the present rebellion In Cuba.
Mr.. A. c. Dibble, in this city, has
already received several letters from
his son since the outbreak, and while
he states in his letters that there
has not been any serious outbreaks
in the immediate neighborhood of the
town of Guam, the government SYM
pathizers and other Americans in that
vicinity are very much exercised for
fear of the bands Of marauders. In
the southern portion Of the province,
Mr.. Dibble says, there have been
some very serious conflicts.
Mr.. Dibble writes that he has an
American flag floating over his home
and also that the government sympa-
thizers and the whites of the neigh
borhood have banded themselves to-
gether for their protection. He says
that they have called on the govern
ment for arms and ammunition, but
thus far they have not been supplied.
They have a few guns Of their own
upon which they will depend for pro-
tecting their lives and property

Cooperative Banking for Farmers.

David Lubin, the California capt.
talist. who is Americas delegate to
the International Institute OF Agri-
culture at Rome. believes strongly In
the European cooperative banking
system for farmers in this country
as well as abroad. He came from
Rome to speak to the Southern Com
mercial congress at Nashville on the
plan, setting 1t forth in very at
tractive form.
In Mr.. Lubln's judgment the
farmers principal grievance is that
outsiders control the marketing OF
his products because he is unable to
borrow money sufficient to finance
him and enable him TO hold his
products himself, instead OF letting
them go for what he can get for
them and turning over to big bust.

Social Service for the Church.

The task the early church set itself
was the saving OF the Individual. The
task the modern church faces is the
salvation OF the community. Re-
ligion today becomes a matter of So
cial service. The advanced apostles
Of the various creeds and cults recog.
nize that.
The church faces the task of FORM
ing a fruitful articulation between
the promises OF the gospel and the
needs OF the world. II Is not an I'M
fair test to demand. A gospel that
can save men from sin should have
In II the power to relieve them from
oppression. from social oppression:
the power to help the widowed
mother striving for a livelihood for
herself and enildren; the power to
aid the little child. trying to cope
with the adyersities OF want; the
power to strengthen the arm OF the
father and husband wrestling with
heavy odds.
To take this power and apply 1t to
the social ills of a diseased and dying
world is the great task OF the church
today. To interpret the message Of
Christ to the world In twentieth CEN
fury beneficence. so that the man
and the woman In the street and the
woman and the child in the mill and
the tenement may feel the response
in. not only quiekened hopes, but
tangible realities that show them in
better living conditions that there is,
even for them in their present needs,
a responsive possibility in this gos-
pei. The church cannot scold an err
ring world into righteousness and IT
cannot wish suffering humanity
into ease and comfort. 1t must
reach out through this gospel 1t is
preaching and help TO make people
righteous and comfortable. and this
is social service. The community is
reached through its individual mem
bers and civic betterment is wrought
By personal improvement.

out, that the farmer is unable to get
the money is that he lacks the proper
rating at the banks. Now, under the
"Raiffeison system" as he describes
It, in vogue for many years abroad,
farmers for miles around combine
their resources. pool their interests
and get a financial status and rating
on which they may borrow the
money they need at reasonable rates
of interest.
How well the system might work
in the United States is debatable,
but this principle of 1t really does
seem commendable. We have been
hearing a good deal about how the
middle man" and the big bust
ness baron we're usurping the fruits
of the farmers labor. Whether
such a system would tend to release
the farmer from their grasp a trial
OF il would soon demonstrate. Yet,
as a whole, the lot and opportunity
OF the American farmer are far
ahead Of those OF the European.
