TUBE'S FIGHT FOR OFFICE.
Hits Contest of .lustiee \\ leklinm’s
Election In tlie First District.
Several witnesses in W. F. Thee's con
test for Justice of the peace of the* First
district were examined yesterday at ihe
court room of Justice U. K. Itevans, ex
officio magistrate of tlte district.
The witnesses that testified had b'-en
summoned for Tbe.e. They were ifenty
Garwes, J. B. Harvey, Thee himself un i
Policemen Mock and Jarrell. The hear
ing began at 11 o'clock and lasted until
about noon, when, it being claimed that
important witnesses were not present, it
was continued until 10 o'clock this morn
ing
The general testimony taken in atii
davits by Justice Bevans seems to indi
cate that the truth or falsity of the claim
of Garwes being a freeholder is the point
upon which the Justice of tne contest will
turn. It is claimed by some that because
Garwes has given deeds on his proper y
to cover debt, the title does not remain
in him. Whether this is true or not is a
point of law over which there is some dis
agreement.
The public is familiar with the stonPof
the election for Justice of the First dis
trict on Jan. 2. W. F. Thee opposed th
incumbent, Justice Hichurd Wickham, in
the race.
By mutual agreement the candidates se
lect the board of freeholder managers of
the election. Henry Garwes was accepted
on the afternoon preceding Ihe day of the
election as Thee's representative on the
board by Justice Wickham, but when he
showed up the next morning he found
another had been put in his place. This
other manager was W. F. Corbett, who,
Thee says, is a friend of Justice Wick
ham.
Being thus without representation on
the board, Thee withdrew from the light.
He further alleged that Intimidation nail
been used and that votes cast for him
had, instead of finding their way into the
ballot box, been thrown under tne table.
In his testimony, Thee said that, when he
and Garwes presented themselves at Jus
tice Wickham's office, which is the pok
ing place, early on the morning of the
election, they were met at the door by Con
stable Dan Kiley with a club. He. told
them, said Thee, that it was bread ami
meat to him and the incumbent justice to
hold the office, and that they, using an
epithet, could not come in.
The deponent was asked if he had not
told Justice Samuel Reynolds that he anil
a crowd were going down early in the
morning to .capture the polls. To this
question he replied that he had never to.d
any one such a thing.
Garwes’ testimony was essentially the
same as Thee’s.
J. B. Harvey testified that one of the
managers, he could not tell which unless
he should see them again, had thrown his
ballot under the table after he passed it
through the window. Harvey further said
that when he insisted on the ballot being
deposited in the box. he was told If he
didn't get away from there pretty quick
they wou.d have him arrested.
Officer Mock had been summoned to cor
roborate Harvey's testimony, but this he
could not do, as he said he was not stand
ing in such a position at the time to admit
of his seeing the occurrence.
Officer Jarrell stated that he didn't know
anything about the matter, but that ne
had heard Officer Mock say that he had
seen the ballot thrown away. To this Of
ficer Mock replied that be had never made
such a remark, and that he had only
heard Harvey say so.
Messrs. Walter C. Hartridge and W. F.
Slater represented Ihe parties to the con
test, the former representing Justice
Wickham and the latter Three.

Toby Phoenix, the negro who out Mar
tin Anderson, the mate of the dredge
Fairpluy, some mouths ago, and who was
indicted in the superior court on a
charge of assault with intent to murder,
was released from jail yesterday on an
order signed by Judge Falligant.
The order was granted on motion of
the solicitor general, because the prose
cutor has left the state, and the solicitor
general found it would be Impossible for
the state to make out a case without
him. Andersen was badly cut, and it was
thought at one time he was going to die.
Phoenix, who was represented by Messrs.
F. M. Oliver and R. M. Hitch, was al
lowed to go on his own recognisance.
A similar order was taken in the ease
of Julian Jones and William Proctor,
charged with the burglary of the resi
dence of L. Blumberg. In this case the
principal witness, a negro woman, has
also left the state, and the solicitor gen
eral found It would be Impossible to make
out a case. The defendants were repre
sented by F. M. Oliver, Esq.
Pat Noon, the famous Pat who has lieen
charged with cow stealing, several other
sorts of larceny, and is now in Jail on a
charge of forgery, will be tried for lunacy
by a Jury in the court of ordinary Wed
nesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the ordi
nary’s office In the court house. I’at is
now under an indictment in the superior
court for forgery and it may be that So
lictor General Osliorne will have the state
represented at the trial, if there should be
any protest against his going to the luna
tic asylum. His relatives and friends be
lieve his actions to have been the result of
an unbalanced mind and will bring up evi
dence In support of this belief.
All of the recently elected magistrates
whose commissions have been received by
the ordinary have qua.iiied, with the ex
ception of W. H. Nelson, who was elected
justice of the peace in the Sixth militia
district. Justice Nelson's commission has
been here about ten days now, but he has
not called for it. The commissions for the
Justices in the First, Second and Fifth
districts have not arrived yet, on account
of the contests in those districts.

FOOD STRENGTH.
IT COMES FROM THE RIGHT FOOD
PROPERLY DIGESTED.
Food strength is natural strength. It is
new strength; created strengt. That is,
it is not stimulation.
The real strength of your body is your
constitutional strength, your reserve
strength. It is the result of eating proper
food and digesting It.
Eating food does no good at all; rather
harm—unless it is digested. So that ev
erything narrows itself down to one propo
sition: llow is your digestion.
One person In three of us have Indiges
tion In some form or another. It is not
really a disease, but a condition; a condi
tion which may become serious.
We all wish to be strong, and we might
all become so if we digested our food. The
loss of your strength is a serious matter.
It may be the beginning of a dangerous
disease. It may mean that you cannot go
on with your work.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is an aid to
digestion. It is a strength maker. It
makes your food nourish you. It makes
you strong. It relieves at once all the
symptoms of acute dyspepsia, tones up
the system and creates flesh, energy and
strength. Taken regularly It will perma
nently cure Indigestion and make the
weak, thin, irritable, nervous dyspeptic,
strong, fat, hearty and well again,
A 10-cent bottle will show you what It
will do.

CITY BREVITIES.
S. K. Friedman, the peddler, w’ho was
so badly lieaten up by robbers on the
White Bluff road about two weeks ago.
was sufficiently recovered yesterday to
leave St. Joseph's Infirmary, where lie lias
been under treatment, and return to ills
home on Margaret street.
The notorious Moody, the negro boot
black, who, minus a leg and arm. is gen
erally heard from in some trouble witli
the police, has hit the town again. The
last time he was here his departure was
at the urgent request of the recorder. His
trip to Charleston, as a result of the dis
tastefulness of his presence to Savannah,
did not find that place any more appreci
ative of his talents. Trouble with tha po
lice there sent him out of the town, and
he is back In his old haunts after a few
months' absence.
THROWN I P THE SPONGE.
The ft ni I roads Will Not Fight the
•Fertilizer Rate.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 18.—The railroads have
abandoned their intention to fight the
state railroad commission on the fertil
izer rate question. They have not made
any announcement of this fact, but a
member of the commission is authority
for the statement to-day that the roads
have decided that the best thing they can
do is to put the 20 per cent, reduction in
force without a tight in the courts, as was
at first their evident intention.
The information of this commissioner is,
no doubt, authoritative. Last week the
railroads after the general conference of
the attorneys of all lines in interest, last r
tng two days, left the matter of fight
ing the reduction in the courts in the
bauds of a committee of attorneys. This
committee considered the question thor
oughly. devoting several days to it. The
committee finally dissolved without mak
ing any statements as to Its determina
tion, and developments have been expect
ed ever since.
The abandonment of the fight by the
railroads is a clean victory for the rail
road commission. The expected fight in
the courts would have been in the nature
of a complete defiance ot the right and
power of the commission to force its
rates into effect with tlie roads when
ever they should take the ground that
such rates were not reasonable and just.

good lady was a member, and of her con
secrated life and devotion (o the master.

CAROLINA'S NEW Eflt.
A Governor W lio Claims to Repre

Columbia, S. Jan. 18.—At noon to-day,
In the hall of the House of Representa
tives, and in the presence of a vast au
dience, composed of all classes of people,
William H. Ellerbee, the new governor of
South Carolina, was inaugurated, the oath
being administered by the chief justice of
the state supreme court. Subsequently
the lieutenant governor. Miles IS. Me-
Sweeney, was also inaugurated.
In the audience were the young ladies
of the female colleges. Participating in the
inaugural procession were the justices of
tho state supreme court, wearing their ju
dicial robes; the circuit Judges, the facul
ty and students of the South Carolina Col
lege, the state officers and other notables.
The historic mace and sword of state were
borne In the procession.
Gov. Ellerbee's inaugural address was
a most conservative one. Having been
elected by the votes of both factions, he
pledged his word to be the governor of
the whole people, knowing no faction.
He came out with an earnest plea for
the moral support of the people In the
enforcement of the dispensary law, and
said that he believed it the best system
of controlling the liquor traffic. He also
made an earnest plea for higher educa
tion by the state.
The addrpss struck a popular chord,
and he was generously applauded.
To-night the new governor was tender
ed a reception, which was largely attend
ed, by the retiring chief executive, at the
governor's mansion.
MISERY THAT REFUSED COMPANY.
A Condemned Murderer Refuses to
Repent n Former Confession.
Baltimore, Md„ Jan. 18.—The trial of
one of the most remarkable cases in the
criminal annals of Maryland was begun
and concluded in the criminal court to
day.
The defendant was a woman, who was
Indicted in the Charles county court as
an accessory to the murder of her hus
band. The most damaging testimony
against th§ woman was expected to come
from a man who was convicted of the
murder, and on whom the death sentence
has been passed.
In a confession, made the day following
his conviction and sentence to death for
tlie murder of James Irwin, George
Matthews declared that he had been In
cited to the crime by Mrs. Irwin, arrd
together they had planned and executed
it. It wag believed that his testimony,
along with circumstantial evidence from
other quarters, might bring the death
sentence down on the widow of the mur
dered man. But when Matthews was put
on the stand to-day he refused to testify
against her, or even to be sworn In the
case.
After Matthews had refused to testify,
the state closed its ease. The defense
did not even submit any evidence, and
the case was given to the jury without
argument. Without leaving their seats
the jurors found and gave in their verdict
of not guilty.

Everybody knows about them or of them. We have known of them for a
long time. This year they were offered the agency, and we were forced to
take it, because we saw a wheel that had more improvements in it than any
wheel shown so far. The material used in it is finer than any wheel made,
because all the important parts that get the wear are made out of
Crucible Steel.
In all other bicycles machine steel is used. VICTORS use CRUCIBLE
STEEL. We wish to emphasize this. The following shows you the compa
rative strength between the machine and crucible steel:

The Great Crawford
Beats the world. What a great wheel it is. Don't you know that we give
you our personal guarantee on it? The Crawford is as good as any hundred
dollar wheel on the market that has a standard value. By standard value we
mean a wheel that sells for one hundred dollars the year round—Not SIOO one
part of the year and a little later the same wheel can be bought for SBS, $75,
$65, S6O, and have heard of some as low as $45. Putting a list price of SIOO on
a wheel does not make them a better wheel than our Crawford. There is
only a few wheels that we consider as good as our Crawford. If you can’t
afford to buy a
Victor Buy a Crawford.
If either one of these wheels fail to suit you we have others. Down low in
