POLITELY TURNED DOWN.
Rhame Visits Orangeburg Banks, but
Makes no Examinations.

Orangeburg, April lib. J.
Rhame, whom Gov. Blease has un-
dertaken to dismiss from the Office
of State bank examiner, was in the
city to-day and visited the banks,
Offering to make the examinations,
as usual. He was told, it is said,
that the banks could not recognize
his authority, at this time and un-
der the existing circumstances, to
make an official investigation. Mr..
Rhame, therefore, left the city early
in the day.
1t is surmised that Mr.. Rhame was
acting under legal advice in attempt
ing to perform the duties of the Of
flee of State bank examiner, and that
he was not surprised at the reception
from the banks of the city, but that
he rather expected it.

Damage by Tornado.

Mr.. J. Crum Smoak, of the Hunt
er's Chapel section, was in the city
this "wednesday morning, and told
us of terrible tornado which pass
ed through that section Monday of
this week, ct noon. The rain was
especially heavy, and the path of
the tornado, which was only about
rs to 100 yards wide, was very de-
structive. Through the woods small
and large trees were either uprooted
or twisted off, and the damage to a
large lot of pine timber belonging to
Messrs. Smoak and Rhoad was very
great.
Several houses were blown down.
The house of Mrs. Harriet Carter was
entirely demolished, and in getting
out of the house one of the falling
walls caught one of her little boys,
cutting his head badly and crushing
him in the back of the head. His
hurts are serious, and he may not
survive. Several tenant houses at
other places were also blown down.
Mr.. Smoak says he has not seen
such a sight of destruction in many
a day, and had the path of the storm
been wider the damage would have
been considerably more widespread.

C. P. Johnson, sometimes known
as Johnson THE Hiker," and his
guinea pig Monk" arrived in the
city Monday night and put up at the
Caldwell. Johnson is walking H.
14O miles on wager and has already
covered 4,4SO of 'em. His long hike
is being taken to decide wager
made with the members of the

every capital in the Union in 365
days, not including Sundays.
Johnson left Topeka November Fl

condition of the wager is that he is
to carry Monk" throughout his
Journey over the United States and
if the guinea pig dies he must have
him embalmed and bring him back
to Topeka. Johnson is not allowed
to sell anything or use any club or
lodge influence in obtaining susie
nance. His only means of revenue
is from a postcard which he gives
away on which is printed picture
of himself and Monk Most every
one donates something that receives
one.
The walker is rather frail in stat
ure, but states he is hard as nails.
When he left Topeka he weighed l40
pounds and now tips the beam at
134. After calling on Gov. Blease
Tuesday afternoon he left next morn
ing for Raleigh, N. c. Thence ne
will work his way northward until
he reaches Augusta, Me-, after which
he will about face and traverse the
Central and Western States, prob
ably visiting the State of Colorado

For several years Johnson was on
the staff of number of prominent
newspapers throughout the north,
confining his labors principally to the
sporting department. - Columbia
