THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. I'lIl'HHDAY. AL'OLBT 90. 1900. 8 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 SIDESTEPS A PUZZLING CASE 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 an Inspector and motorman of the street car company for running over the regiment Monday night.

DeLoach, who drove the rampant car Into his excellency’s loyal troops. Colonel Ben Conyers, the attorney for the defense, also held the stage for some time.

O O O OOOOOOOOOOOOaOOCKJOOOOOOOOO RUIN DRIVES 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." REBEL LEADER IS CAPTURED DURING BATTLE Bloody Fight Is Reported To Be in Progress at Artcmisp. By MANUEL CALVO.

Va. f Aug. 30.—While 0 0 watching the body of her aged 0 0 husband being lowered Into the 0 O grave near their home nt Welch O 0 today, Mrs. Joseph Hyman fell O 0 dead from a sudden attack of O O heart failure. 0 0 0 0000000000000000000000000O 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, possess full knowledge of the universe, 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 passions destroy your happiness, and you must’tear them out of your heart, for they are the armies of death. You 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. DREYFU8 TO RETIRE. By Private Leased Wire.

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.
