j. w. ASHLEY ILL.

Well Known Member of House of
Representatives From Anderson
County is Stricken.
Anderson, Aug. 15.-Joshua w.
Ashley, member Of the house of rep
resentatives from Anderson county,
suffered a stroke of paralysis at his
home near Honea Path this morning
and all through the day his condi-
tion has been grave. Tonight the at
tending physicians hold out a little
more hope for his recovery than they
did at noon.
Mr.. Ashley attended the Ack,r
family reunion yesterday at William
stCn and appeared in his usual good
health and spirits. This morning he
ate a hearty breakfast and then pro-
ceeded to direct some mechanics in
repairing his cotton gin. One Of the
men called for some nails and Mr..
Ashley started to nearby house for
them and while on his way the at
tack came upon him. He stumbled
and fell, and when help reached him
he was lying on the ground in an un.
conscious condition.
Mr.. Ashley was carried to the house
and doctors were quickly summoned.
After a thorough examination they
announced that he had suffered a
stroke Of paralysis in the right side.
The left side was not harmed, re-
spending TO an injection of opiate.
Late this afternoon it was noted that
he could move his right foot, slight
ly, but he has not been able to
speak. He seems to be semi-conscious
but he has no way of communicating
any wish he may have to members
of his family. The doctors say that
a blood vessel in Mr.. Ashley's head
burst and in their opinion it depends
on whether the blood clotted will be
absorbed in due time or whether the
blood is still spreading through the
brain. If the latter condition exists
they declare that the end is near.
j. w. Ashley is the political boss"
of Anderson county, having become
personally interested in politics more
than % years ago. He has served 19
years in the Legislature, all of his ser
vices having been continuous with
the exception of one term when he
dropped out, having run and been
defeated for State senator. He is In
his 65th year.

Sacramento, Cal. April 17.-Amend-
mnets to the Birdsall anti-alien land
bill, DESIGNED to exempt from the
strict prohibition of the act all Cali
fornia properties held by European
capital. while still barring the Japan
ese, were offered today in the senate
by the author of the measure.
The amendments were drawn up at
a conference late last night between
Senators Birdsall and Thomson and
representatives of foreign syndicates
having large interests in this state.
If adopted by the senate, the pro
posed changes viii make the Birdsall
bill more acceptable to Europeans
than is the assembly bill, and more
restrictive upon Japanese.
The principal amendment is the in
sertion of a clause permitting corpo-
rations, the majority stock of which
is held by aliens eligible to citizen
ship. to own land. This provision
was in the assembly hall, but the
Birdsan measure heretofore provided
that the majority stock of such cor
porations should be held by citizens
Of the United States or persons who
had declared their intention TO become
citizens"
Further concessions to European
capita1 are contained in the following
new sections, which protect the loans
Of foreign banks and exmept land us
ed in the mining, oil, shipping and
lumber industries, where most Of the
foreign capital, except that Of the lap
anese. is invested. The new sections
are as follows:
'The prohibitions Of this act shall

or which are being operated as mines
nor to lands chiefly valuable for the
