Tillman’s Name Scratched
By Many Voters in Some
of the Counties.
Special to The Georgian.
Newberry, 8. C\, Aug. 30.—Returns*
from 38 out of 43 precincts In New
berry county give the following re-
. suite:
For United States Senator—B. R.
Tillman (no opposition), 1,403.
For Governor—Ansel, 689; Blease,
874; 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; Ragtn, 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; Youmana, 181.
For Railroad Commissioner—Cansler,
778; Sellers, 35; Sullivan, 243; Sum-
mersett, 861; Wharton, 445.
For Congress—Aiken, 1,217; Bogga,
768.
For the House of Representative
Johnstone (Brice law) and Wyche (dls-
J >ensary) are elected on the first bah
ot. Aull (dispensary) and Klbler (pro
hibition) will make the second race.
H. H. Evans received 461 votes, and Is
out Of the ra^e. 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, and 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 SO per cent of the voters of
Newberry county scratched Tillman,
the scratching being more general in
the town boxes. There are probably
300 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 Youmans.
Boyd la elected adjutant and Inspector
general over his opponent, Haskell.
MCCdwn will .probably be elected sec
retary of »tate on the first ballot. For
cdmptroller general, Jones has a slight
majority, although the returns show
that Walker is gaining, and the result
Is by no means certain.
ANTI DI8PEN8ARY
SENTIMENT IN EVIDENCE.
Special to The Georgian.
McCormick, S. C., Aug. 30.—The elec
tion passed quietly here 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 seemfd to
have pervaded throughout the county,
although there was a strong current of
antl-dlspensary 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 the
heavens showed that he had bagged
bigger game. *
Jim White and Austin Gresham, two
negroes, were unwise enough to island
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 aipwnrd, 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 nnd 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, n howl or two, and the,
car had done what the shotgun failed i
to do. The dog would frighten nobody
else.
The mad dog had bltt-en 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 and finished his
work by arresting Davis on a charge
of shooting within the city limits.

SIDESTEPS A PUZZLING CASE
Opera bouffe with a full chorus and
the usual army was given a rehearsal
at the police court Wednesday after
noon when officers and men of the
Fifth regiment appeared to prosecute

ing roles were played by Burton Smith,
adjutant of the regiment and prosecu

the Fifth, and Motorman J. S. DeLoach,
who drove the rampant car Into his
excellency’s loyal troops. Colonel Ben
Conyers, the attorney tor the defense,
also held the stage for some time.
When Colonel Conyers got through

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?
Sid Holland, the aldermen, who was
acting recorder, gave up the problem
early In the action. After Inquiring
softly of Clerk Preston "How long be

the case up to City Attorney James L.

the rights of militia companies as op

A South Carolina city wants some

the Georgia prison commission to farm
out its convicts to another state.

successful effort has been mnde to unite the
two branches of Zionists who split a year

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
ious reports, Mr. Hippie killed himself
by blowing out his brains. He shot
himself through the head, according to
the coroner, dying Instantly.
ras 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 thnt
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 Audenreld, who will determine
whether the temporary receivership of
George H. Earle, Jr., should be made
permanent.

HOUGH It would be too much to
say that we here In Europe are
adopting the teachings of, Nir
vana, one must admit that Buddhism
today, now that It hns become 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 thorals which sprung
forth at the foot of Himalaya, before
the genius of the Hellenes was fully
developed, has still preserved Its whole
fertile purity and bewitching fresh
ness, anil that the Huge from Kapllava-
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,
gods, nor a real cult. It Is the
beautiful moral and a philosophy
which stnnds comparison with the most
daring thoughts of the modern'mtnd.
Buddhism has captured Thibet, Blr-
tna, Slum, Cambodia, Annam, China,
nnd 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 Germany’s most pow
erful philosopher to a jfhllosophy whose
wonderful exactness no one doubts any
longer. It Is a well known .fact that
Schopenhauer built his 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 l
golden statue of Buddha.
It must also he admitted that the
theosophlsts with their strange beliefs
during the last years have done very
much to make the teachings of Cakya-
Munt widely known In England und
Tance.
At the same time Sumangala, the
high priest of the Church of the South,
received European science In a very
friendly manner. Draped in his yellow
bouruuH, till* dark-skinned snge read
the works of Herbert Hpenoer, while
thoughtfully chewing his betel.
Altogether Buddhism Is very friendly
to science, and thus it pleased Human -
gala to enlist Darwin nnd I.lttre among
his saints, because they, like the As-
cetes, were eager to further the good
cause, and showed great contempt for
the material blessing* of this world.
The Church of the South, who.se
head Sumangala I*. Is more rational
and liberal than the Church of the
North, whose apostolic capital Is In
Thibet.
When one look* more closely at these
two churches they often appear ridicu

and nations are seeking In vain—the Oh! if Cakya-Muni ever existed, at
science of knowing how to live right.
And It seemed to me thnt this young
Ascete who sits with crossed legs on
the lotus llower, the symbol ot purity,
answered me In two words: charity
and resignation. His whole history,
be It real or merely imaginary, is beau
tiful, and came to my mind. It said:
"I 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 lawns 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 me my harem looked to me
as If It were a graveyard;
"Four times 1 left my garden. I met
an old man, and I felt weak from age
like he; 1 met a sick man, and 1 suf
fered from the same sickness; I inet a
corpse, and death was In me. I met
Ascete, nnd ns I saw that he had
peace within himself, 1 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 I
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 all black and blue, and

"I was nearly dying without having
found the wisdom which I had sought,
but when I reached the shores of Lake
Nalrandjana I ate the honey, soup and
evening under the tree Boddhl 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 desires, which distort the true na
ture of all things. Did we, however,
possess full knowledge of the universe,
It wrould be clear to us that nothing Is
worth desiring and this knowiedge
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 hair, nor w’ealth, nor high
birth, make* the Brahman. Only he In
whom truth and Justice live Is happy.”
I further said: "Give up your pride,
your vanity and your passions. 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
can no more feel happy as long as you
have all kinds of desires than you can
quench your thirst with all the water
In the sea. Wisdom alone can quench
the thirst of the soul. Be without ha-
Tbe 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 Wednesday printed a
little sketch showing a bevy of young
ladles on the porch with the big sign
"Auction,” above them, printing it
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 Lenseil Wire.
Paris, Aug. 30.—That Major Alfred
Dreyfus Is to retire from the army In
October on a pension li th* statement
made by The Patrle.
I believe he did, he was the best of
men. "He was a saint,” cried Marco
Polo, when he heard his history.
Yes, he was a saint and a sage. Hut
his wisdom was not made for the al
ways restless people of Europe nnd
America, and the remedy which he 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 fhought >f
absolute pence and quiet fills us with
terror. Cakya-Muni has not come for
our sake; he will not save us, hut he
Is, nevertheless, our best friend and
Jadvlser. 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 his words
are still able to heal many secret
wounds and sorrows.
Before I left the museum I went to
the beautiful rotunda in which the li
brary Is, and I found In one of the.<e
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
courtIsane who w’as exceedingly beau*
tlful nnd was called Vasavadatta. On#
day she met In the street the young
Upagupta. and Immediately fell in love
with him. She sent her servant to him
land told him that she would be v*ry
glad to see him at her house. But
Upagupta did not come. **-
chaste nnd kind-hearted and full of
charity. He possessed wisdom, obeyed
the law’s of Buddha. Therefore, he
despised the love of this woman.
Now’ It happened that Vasavadatta,
who had committed a crime, wns sen
tenced to have her hands, feets, ears
and nose cut off. She was taken to
the grave yard, w’here the sentence
w’as carried out, and she was left
there. , . E
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
Ishe was performing this charitable
duty she saw a man coming, who did
not look as If he came for curiosity,
but rather from pity. A child was hold
ing a parasol over his head. When tho
servant saw that It was Upaguptu, she
hurriedly gathered her mistress’ hand*
and feet and covered them with her
mantle.
The young man went.up to \ asara-
datta and silently looked at the glr!
who had once been the coatllest pearl
of the city. The courtlaane .jj>er\ed
her eyes and when she recognis'd him
she said with her dying voice:
"Upagupta, Upagupta, when my body
was decked with costly silks, when It
was soft, and white like the lotlis flow
er, ! waited for you In vain.. Why do
you come when l am bloody and man-
S ued and must awaken only feelings of
Horror and disgust?”
r in a voice full of ujspeakabltf kind
ness Upagupta replieu: tiH
"Sister Vasavadatta, In those days
when you were beautiful, your beauty
did not allure me. I saw you even then
with the eyek of my soul, as I 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 griev.\
do not bemoan theHoss of the shadow y
and sensual pleasures. Tell yourself
that all worldly pleasures are 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 thr
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-
Here me, I love you. dear sister, and
be content to go away to the eternal
peace.”
The courtlsane heard these word*
and as she saw that he spok
left this sad world.
