ANTI-DISPENSARY
Tillman’s Name Scratched
By Many Voters in Some
of the Counties.
Bppflal to Tile Oeorglnn.
Newberry, S. C„ Aug. *0.—Returns
from 38 out of 43 precincts in New
berry county give the following re
sults:
For United States 8enator—B. R.
Tillman (no opposition), 1,403.
For Governor—Ansel, 888: Blease,
<74; Brunson, 115; Jones, 110; Man
ning, 58; McMahan, 10; Sloan, 13.
For Lieutenant Governor—McLeod
(no opposition), 1,875.
For Secretary of State—McCown,
1,018; Morrison, 200; Ragln, 431; Trib
ble, 196.
For Comptroller General—Jones, 856;
Walker, 986.
For State Treasurer—Jennings (no
opposition), 1,884.
For Adjutant and Inspector General
—Boyd, 1,861; Haskell, 411.
For Superintendent of Education-
Martin (no opposition), 1,867.
For Attorney General—Lyon, 1,254;
Ragsdale, 448; Toumans, 181.
For Railroad Commissioner—Cansler,
778; Sellers, 36: Sullivan, 243; Sum-
mersett, 361; Wharton, 445.
For Congress—Aiken, 1,217; Boggs,
768.
For the House of Representatives—
Johnstone (Brice law) and Wyche (dis
pensary) are elected on the first bal
lot. Aull (dispensary) and Klbler (pro
hibition) will make the second race.
H. H. Evans received 461 Votes, and Is
out of the race. None of the present
delegation was re-elected.
Wheeler for superintendent of edu
cation, Epps for treasurer and Wilson
for probate Judge were re-elected with
out opposition.
For auditor, Cromer is re-elected by
a handsome majority over his two op
ponents, Buzhardt and Counts.
For county supervisor, the second
race will probably be between Wicker,
the Incumbent, nnd J. Chesley Domi
nick, although this standing may be
changed by the boxes yet to be heard
from. This race Is very close, Feagle
and Smith following at close range.
About 30 per cent of the voters of
Newberry county scratched Tillman,
the scratching being more general In
the town boxes. There are probably
800 to 400 votes yet to be heard from.
These may change the results consid
erably, owing to the fact that there are
very close votes in several of the con
tests.
It Is probable that Ansel and Man
ning will be In the second race for the
governorship, with a possibility that
Blease will displace Manning.
J. Fraser Lyon will in all probability
be elected attorney general on the first
ballot over Ragsdale and Youmana
S oyd is elected adjutant and Inspector
snernl over his opponent, Haskell.
McCown will probably be elected sec
retary of State on the first ballot. For
comptroller general, Jones has a slight
majority, although the returns show
that Walker is gaining, and the result
is by no means certain.
ANTI DI8PENSARY
SENTIMENT IN EVIDENCE.
Special to The Georgian.
McCormick, S. C, Aug. 30.—The elec
tion passed quietly hero with no dis
order about the polls. There was a full
vote in the county. The only Issue that
seemed to have been In the campaign
from start to finish Is the dispensary.
The dispensary sentiment seemed to
have pervaded throughout the county,
although there was a strong current of
anti-dispensary that is shown clearly
by Senator B. R. Tillman's name being
scratched at almost every box In the
county.
BIRD SHOT AIMED AT DOG
HIT TWO HUMAN MARKS
Charlie Davis, a negro who lives at
126 Glenn street, shot at a mad dog
Thursday morning. He didn't hit the
dog, but the howls that rose to Ihe
heavens showed that he had bagged
bigger game.
Jim White and Austin Gresham, two
negroes, were unwise enough to stand
In range of Davis' shotgun and received
the full charge of heavy bird shot.
Davis was nervous when the dog rush
ed toward him and he fired too high.
The shot struck the sidewalk on Glenn
street and glanced upward, sprinkling
the anatomy of the two negroes liber
ally. Dr. A. H. Cochran picked forty
shot from beneath Gresham's hide and
recovered eighteen which White had
intercepted and for which he had no
use.
The queerest thing 'of all happened
then. The dog, frightened at the shot
and perhaps sprinkled with a few,
turned from the sidewalk and ran In
front of a passing car. There was a
crushing sound, a howl or two, and the
car had done what the shotgtin failed
to do. The dog would frighten nobody
else.
The mad dog had bitten a dog owned
by L. A. Curtis, of 118 Glenn street,
and Call Officer Luck was called to
kill the animal. He proved a better
shot than the negro nnd finished his
work by arresting Davis on a charge
of shooting within the city limits.
ACTING RECORDER SID HOLLAND

Opera bouffe with a full chorus and
the usual army was given a rehearsal
at the police court Wednesday afters
noon when officers and * men of the
Fifth regiment appeared to prosecute

the Fifth, and Motorman J. 8. DeLoach,
who drove the rampant car Into his

case resolved Itself into the following
questions: Who did It? Why did he do
It? Whose fault was It? How many
feet was It? What Is a right angle?
What does ’’squad right” mean, and
how long does it take to do it?
8ld Holland, the aldermen, who was

early in the action. After Inquiring

SOUTH CAROLINA SEEKS
GEORGIA CONVICTS
•A South Carolina city wants some
of Georgia's convicts to help work her
roads. This would Indicate that the
Georgia plan of working the misde
meanor convicts upon the public roads
Is finding favor In other states.
Such a request came to the prison
commission Thursday. It came from
L. P. Slattery, commissioner of public
works for Greenville, S. C., and stated
that they would like to hire a number
of the Georgia convicts to work upon
their streets.
Secretary Goodloe Yancey will noti
fy the authorities across the Savannah
that he knows no law that will allow
the Georgia prison commission to farm
out Its convicts to another state.

TOJUICIDE
Coroner Says That
Frank Hippie Shot
Self.
By Private 1 .phsod Wire.
Philadelphia, Aug. 30.—It was of
ficially established today, finally and
beyond all further doubt, that Frank
K. Hippie, president of the collapsed
Real Estate Trust Company, put an
end to his life when he saw that the
impending crash was Inevitable.
Coroner King, who held the Inquest
Into the death of Hippie, following the
financier's death last Friday, declar
ed unequivocally today that Hippie
had committed suicide.
Hippie, when he left his office for his
home on Friday evening knew, It was
learned today, that ruin and disgrace
stared him in the face.
The coroner made the startling an
nouncement that, contrary to all prev
lous reports, Mr. Hippie killed himself
by blowing out his brains. He shot
himself through the head, according to
the coroner, dying Instantly.
It was first declared that he had
swallowed a dose of laudanum and
then, to make his end the more certain,
had drowned himself in the bath room.
Following the announcement by
Coroner King, it became known that
criminal action In the great financial
failure was about to be taken as a re
sult of a remarkable letter written to
District Attorney Bell.
In Just how much of a muddle the
late Frank K. Hippie left the affairs
of the Real Estate Trust Company,
will probably be disclosed this after
noon. There will be a hearing before
Judge Audenreid, who will determine
whether the temporary receivership of
George H. Earle, Jr., should be made
permanent.
Reports on their face equally reli
able say that the bank will soon re
sume, and that It will not resume for
long time to come.
Adolph Seegol, who Is the central
figure in the collapse, said today that
some days ago he placed In the hands
of the officials of the company several
million dollars worth of bonds In order
to make his borrowings absolutely se
cure.
There were no conditions attached,”
he declared. "They were to be used
to the best advantage of the company.
I feel I have done everything In my
power to relieve the Real Estate Com
pany.
"I am interested In from twenty to
thirty J)lg companies. Several months
ago a number of Pittsburg capitalists
entered Into an agreement with me for
the" purchase of my real estate holdings
In Altoona, Pa. The purchase price Is
9600,000, hut the money has not yet
been paid."

HOUGH It would be too much to
say that we here In Europe ara
adopting the teachings of Nir
vana, one must admit that Buddhism
today, now that It has becopie more
widely known, possesses a great power
of attraction for the curious and free
spirited, and that the magic of Cayka-
Munl Is apt to get great power over
simple minds.
It Is wonderful, when one remembers
that this source of morals which sprung
forth at the foot of Himalaya, before
the genius of the Hellenes wns fully
developed, hns still preserved its whole
fertile purity and bewitching fresh
ness, and that the Suge from KApIlava-
thu even today Is the best adviser and
most valued friend In adversities.
Buddhism can hardly be called a re
ligion. It has neither a Cosmogony,
nor gods, nor a real cult. It is the
most beautiful morn! and a philosophy
hlch stands comparison with the most
daring thoughts of the modern tnlnd.
Buddhism hus captured Thibet, Blr-
a, Siam, Cambodia, Annum, China,
and India without shedding a drop of
blood. In India it has only been able
to hold Its own In Ceylon, but It has
400,000,000 followers In other parts of
Asia.
When you look more closely at It, It
Is not so strange that it Is gaining
ground In Europe. It was Buddhism
which Inspired Herman}'* most pow
erful philosopher to a philosophy whose
wonderful exactness no one doubts any
longer. It is a well known fact that
Schopenhauer built Ills theory of the
will on the basis of the Buddhistic
philosophy. The great pessimist him
self did not deny this, and In his se
verely plain bedroom he even had u
golden statue of Buddha.
It must nlao he admitted that the
theosophlsts with their strange beliefs
during the last years have done very
much to make the teuchlngs of Cakya-
M tin I widely known In England and
France.
At the same time Humangala, the
high priest of the Church of the South,
received European science In a very
friendly manner. Draped In his yellow
bouruus, this dark-skinned sage read
the works of Herbert Spencer, while
thoughtfully chewing his betel.
Altogether Buddhism Is very friendly
to science, and thus It pleased Human-
gnla to enlist Darwin nnd Llttre among
his saints, because they, like the Aa-
cetes, were eager to further the good
cause, and showed great contempt for
the material blessings of this world.
The Church of the South, whose
head Huinangala Is, In more rational
and liberal than the Church of the
North, whose apostolic capital is In
Thibet.
When one looks more closely at these
two churches they often appear ridicu
lous because of their Ignorance and
superstitions, while Buddhism Is alto
gether wisdom, love and charity.
ety long ago I found
science of knowing,how to live right.
And it seemed to me that this young
Ascete who sits with crossed legs on
the lotus flower, the symbol of purity,
answered me In two w’ords: charity
and resignation. His whole history,
be It real or mefely imaginary, Is beau
tiful, and came to my mind. It said:
"1 was the son of a king and was
brought up In magnificent palaces and
beautiful gardens, where golden foun
tains played and beautiful peacocks
displayed their gorgeous colors on the
green law*ns and where high walls hid
the misery of the world from my eyes,
but my heart was sad because only one
thought lived In me. And when my
beautiful slaves played to me and danc
ed before ine my hnrem looked to ine
ns If It were a graveyard.
"Four times I left my garden. I met
an old man, and 1 felt weak from age
like he; 1 met a sick man, and I suf
fered from the same sickness; I met a
corpse, and death was In me. I met
an Ascete, and as I saw that he had
peace within himself, I resolved to
reach It following his example.
"One night, while everybody In my
palace was sleeping, I took a last look
at my sleeping wife and child, mounted
my white horse and fled Into the
swamp woods to think over the mis
eries of humanity, over their countless
causes and the means to escape them.
•i asked two famous hermits, who told
me that only by chastising his body
could man achieve wisdom. But I felt
that these men were not wise, and !
myself was so exhausted from being
without food for many days that the
shepherds on Mount Gaya, seeln gme,
exclaimed: ‘Oh, look at the beautiful
hermit, he Is mil black anil blue, and
his colors like the fish matyura.'
”1 was nearly dying without having
found the wisdom which 1 had sought,
but when 1 reached the shores of Lake
Nalrandjana I ate the honey, soup nnd
evening under the tree Boddht and
spent the night In silent thought. To
ward dawn my soul opened as the
white Lotus flower, and I felt within
myself that all our misery comes from
our deiflres, which distort the true na
ture of all things. Did we, however,

It would be clear to us that nothing Is
worth desiring and this knowledge
would end all our unhappiness.
After that day I kept on endeavoring
to kill all desires within myself and
to teach other people to do the same.
I taught them simplicity and Justice,
and said to them: "Not the carefully
braided balr, nor wealth, nor high
birth, makes the Brahman. Only he In
whom truth and Justice live Is happy.”
I further said: "Give up your, pride,
vour vanity and your (Missions. As an
elephant destroys a frail hut, so* the

The proprietor of the boarding house
near the corner of East Fair and
Moore streets, on which the sign "Auc
tion” appears, wishes The Georgian to
express plainly the fact that the sign
was put up to advertise the sale of
the house.
The Georgian Wedneaday printed a
little sketch showing a bevy of young
ladles on the porch with the big sign
"Auction,” above them, printing Jt
solely as a funny little Incident and
one'that caused some little merriment
among passers-by.
The residents of the house feel that
they have' been done an Injustice by the
sketch and wish The Georgian to make
this statement.
They think that they were Insulted
by the picture—for which The Georg
ian apologizes most profoundly.

• Oh! If Cakya-Munl ever existed, as
I believe he did, he was tha best of
men. "He was a saint," cried Marco
Polo, when he heard hla history.
Yes, he was a aalnt and a aage. But
his wisdom was not made for the al-
wuys restless people of Europe and
America, nnd the remedy which ne tells
us cures the universal evil does not
help us. He promises us as a reward
for our efforts the Nirvana, the abso
lute peace, and the mere thought of
absolute peace and quiet fills us with
terror. Cakya-Munl has not come for
our sake; he will not save us, but ho
s, nevertheless, our best friend and
-adviser. To those who understand him
he gives earnest, strong rules of living,
and If he does not help us to solve the
social question, the balm of hla words
are still able to heal many secret
wounds and sorrows.
Before I left the museum I went to
the beaptlful rotunda In which the li
brary Is, nnd I found In one qf these
books a legend which made such an Im
pression upon me that I must tell It
again here:
In Mathurla, In Bengal, once lived a
courtlsane who was exceedingly beau
tiful and was called Vasavadatta. One
day she met In the street the young
Upagupta, and Immediately fell In love
with him. She sent her servant to him
and told him that sba would be very
glad to see him at her houae. But
Upagupta did not come. He was
chaste nnd kind-hearted and full of
charity. He possessed wladom, obeyed
the laws of Buddha. Therefore, he
despised the love of this woman.
Now It happened that Vaaavadatta,
who had committed a crime, was sen-
tenced to have her hands, feats, ears
nnd nose cut off. She was taken to
the grave yard, where the sentence
was carried out, and ahe waa left
there.
She was alive and her servant, who
loved her, stayed with her and drove
the files away with a fan, that the poor
tortured girl might die in peace. While
she was performing this charitable
duty she saw a man coming, who did
not look aa If he came for curiosity,
but rather from pity. A child was hold
ing a parasol over his head. When the
servant saw that It was Upagupta, she
hurriedly gathered her mistress’ hands
and feet and covered them with her
mantle.
The young man went up to Vaaava
datta and silently looked at the girl
who had once been the coatlieat pearl
of the city. The courtlsane opened
her eyea and when ahe recognised him
she sold with her dying voice;
"Upagupta, Upagupta, when my body
was decked with costly silks, when It
was soft, and white like the lotus flow
er, 1 waited for you In vain. Why «lo
you come when 1 am bloody and man
gled and must awaken only feelings of
horror and disgust?".
In a voice full of unspeakable kind
ness Upagupta replleu: . - /J!
"Sister Vasavadatta, In those days
when you were beautiful, your beauty
did not allure me. I saw you even then
with the eyes of my soul, as 1 see you
before me now. I knew that beauty i*
worthless. Verily, I tell you. to those
who really hear and see, you are still
the same. Therefore, do not grieve,
do not bemoan the loan of the shadowy
and sensual pleasures. Tell yourself
that all worldly pleasures art like the
reflected Image of the. moon in the
water. Your suffering comes because
you craved too much. Do not have any
more desires, and you will be like the
gods. Do not ask to live any longer
One only lives when one wants to* and
you see that life Is full of pain. Be
lieve me. I love you. dear sister, and
be content to go away to the eterna:
peace."
The courtlsane heard these word*
and aa she saw that be spoke thi
left this sad world.
