Philadelphia, Aug. 28.—The Heal Es
tate Trust Company this afternoon
closed Its doors, following the meet
ing of the clearing house association.
The failure amounts to $7,000,000.
Investigation of the affairs of the
institution, following reports circulat
ed after the sudden death last week
of Frank K. Hippie, president of the
trust company, disclosed a serious state
of affairs. Despite the fact that the
directors of the company, according to
general report, had pledged themselves
for several million dollars in an effort
to preserve the Institution, the clearing
house association's investigation is be r
lieved to have counselled an immediate
suspension of business.
There are rumors to the effect that
Mr. Hippie's death, which was assigned
to cerebrlal hemorrhages, was not the
result of natural causes.
The trust company, according to Its
last statement hod deposits aggregat
ing $7,600,00. There were between forty
and fifty bank presidents and other of
ficials at the meeting this afternoon.
While no official statement had ,ben
Issued up to a late hour, it was stated
that the development at the outset was
far from favorable and that many of
those who were anxious to hepl the
company, out of its difficulty early
realized the Impracticability of such
action.
The real estate company was Incor
porated In 1885 and was always con
sidered one o fthe strongest financial
Institutions In the city. Hippie was
president continuously from the time
of its organization. The Real Estate
Trust Company’s last report was made
on May 26.

POPULISTS FAIL
TO HOLDHETINGf
NO STATE TICE
Holloway Says 90 Per Cent
of Populists Voted
For Smith.
No Populist convention was held In
Atlanta Tuesday, and no Populist tick
et will be placed In the held this year.
At noon In the hall of representa
tives Chairman J. J. Holloway, Secre
tary J. E. Bodenhainer, Committeeman
C. T. Parker, of the Fifth district, and
six other Populists from this Immedi
ate vicinity gathered, and after Infor
mally discussing matters dispersed
without calling the meeting to order.
Chairman Holloway said:
I communicated with the members
of the state executive committee rela
tive to calling this meeting off, hut as
the expressions for so doing were not
unanimous I could do nothing more
than let affairs,take their course.
'As has been well understood for
some time we have no Intention of
placing a ticket In the field. Fully >0
per cent of the Populists voted for
Hoke 8mlth. They felt that he stood
for many things we have advocated
for years, and since we could not se
cure these reforms through our own
party the bulk of the party felt that
we must trust in get them through
some one else. To a large measure
Smith's admintstra.lon will be on trial.
If he secures the reforms advocated
both by himself a no by us, we will be
satisfied.” \
Chairman Holloway said that the
party organisation would be preserved,
and that the present atate executive
committee would remain of force until
another was named.

FOR ATTORNEY GEN’L

WILLREACK 12,000
Three Candidates Tie in the
Opposition, Though His
Vote May Fall
Short.
Senator.
Special to The Georgian.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 28.—The vote
which will be polled today will he the
largest since the Democratic primary
was Inaugurated sixteen years ago. An
sel will have a good vote for governor,
and Indications are that he will go Into
the second primary ' with' Bleosa or
Manning.
J. Frayser Lyon will probably be
elected attorney general on the first
ballot.
Senator Tillman made a bitter per
sonal and political fight on Mr. Lyon.
A great many will scratch Senator Till
man’s name.
The Issue In the state la the dls
pensary against local option. The
house, It \s thought, will be overwhelm
Ingly against the dispensary, and the
senate closely divided, as half the
members hold over.
CHARLESTON VOTE
WILL BE VERY LIGHT
Special to The Georgian.
Charleston, 8. C„ Aug. 28.—Voting In
Charleston today In the primary Is
tight. Ansel and Manning are getting
the support of the Charleston sover
clgns with Ansel 'probably In the lead
for governor.
There Is but little opposition for
the county offices, which makes the In
terest slnck.
Lyon Is running well for attorney
general.
No disorder has been reported from
tho polls.
VOTE WILL BE HEAVY
AT 8PARTENBURG
Special to Tho Georgian.
Spartanburg, S. C.. Aug. 28.—A
heavy vote la being polled In this coun
ty for state and county offices. The
vote In the city will be about 2.00U,
while the city and county will poll
about 7,000.
Ansel Is leading for governor nnd
J. T. Johnson for congress. ♦.
There Is considerable betting on the
congressional race, two to one being
offered on Johnson. Senator Tillman
la being scratched In both city and
county. The probabilities are that an
anti-dispensary legislative ticket will
be,elected.
8TATE DI8PEN8ARY
WA8 THE MAIN ISSUE
Special to The Georgian.
Columbia, 8. C„ Aug. 28.—The prim
ary election In this stats today Is at
tracting mare Interest than any elec
tion since 1190 when Senator B. R.
Tillman flrst cams Into political power.
The main issue Is the dispensary.
Prior to 1892 there were a number of
prohibition counties In thla slate. In
the election of that year the entire
atals, with the exception of half a doz
en counties, voted for state prohibition.
Governor Tillman, In ths closing hours
of the legislature, whipped through a
bill, with John Gary Evans as spokes
man. which put dispensaries In the
state. It has been a bone of conten
tion ever since and had It not been
backed by Tlllman'a political power and
prestige the opposition claim would
have been driven out of the atate. Laat
year sixteen counties revolted and un
der the Brice law voted the dispensary
out of their respective counties. The
Brice law was Introduced to permit
York. Saluda and Horry counties to
vote on tho dispensary. '
There has been so much talk of cor
ruption and graft In the state dispen
sary that a committee was appointed
to Investigate. Ths state waa on Are
with the revelations.
Candidates In the Rees.
That wae the dispensary situation
when the campaign opened. Senator
Cols L. Bleass came out for governor
on ths straight dispensary platform.
Hs Is a member of the Investigating
committee, but he declares his firm be
lief In the Integrity of the dispensary
•a It Is. Benator Richard I. Manning,
of Sumter, and John J. McMahan, of
Columbia, and Lieutenant Governor
John T. Sloan, all running on a plat
form that the dispensary must bs
cleansed and that a new dispensary
system must be enacted. Martin F.
Ansel, of Greenville, came out on a
local option platform, providing flrst
for the death of the atate dispensary,
and th* creation of a county dispen
sary system In those counties which
want liquor at all. Messrs. A. C. Jones
and Joel K. Bronson cams out for
straight prohibition and W. E. Ed
wards Is running on a platform which
does not havs much to say about liquor,
bCt quite a lot about tho Southern
Railroad or merging a number of so-
called competing lines In this stats.
For Attorney-General,
candidates for attorney general
are! J. Fraser Lyon, of Abbeville; J.
W..Ragsdale, of Florence, and Leroy
F. .Youmans, of Columbia. Mr. You-
mans Is the Incumbent, having been
appointed by Governor Heyward. Hls
