For Congress—Aiken, 1,217; Boggs,

For the House of Representatives—
Johnstone (Brice law) and Wyche (dis
pensary) are elected on the first bal
lot. Aull (dispensary) and Kibler (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, 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 30 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 qre
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
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 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 shotgun 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 and finished his
work by arresting Davis on a charge
of Bhooting within the city limits.

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
tor of the case; Captain Palmour, of
the Fifth, and Motorman J. S. 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 somd time.
When Colonel Conyers got through
cross-questioning the witnesses against
the motorman, they didn't know a right

McCormick, S. C., Aug. 30.—The elec

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. 81attery, 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.
the track, the car had run into several
men and the glass front of the car had
been smashed was conclusive. The
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
fore Broyles will be back?” he passed
the case up to City Attorney James L.
Mayson, who will submit a report on
the rights of militia companies as op
posed to street'cars, with a mono
graph on martial and civil law and a
diagram showing the difference In mil
itary maneuvers of the past and pres
ent. The case will then come up for a
new hearing, but Judge Broyles will
be on the bench again by that time. It
will be up to him.

Coroner Says That
Frank Hippie Shot
Self.
By Private leased 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 '
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, accdrdlng 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 ns 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 njade
permanent.
Reports on their #Rce equally reli
able say that the bank will soon re
sume, and that It will not resume for
a long time to come.
Adolph Seegal, who is the central
figure in the collapse, said today that
some days ago he placed In the hnnds
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 big 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
$500,000. but the money has not yet
been paid."

T HOUGH it would be too much to
say that we here In Europe are
adopting the'teachings of Nlr-
vanu, one must admit that Buddhism
today, now that It has become more
widely known, possesses a great power
of attraction for the curious and free
spirited, and that the magic of Cayka
Muni is apt to get greut power over
simple minds.
It is wonderful, when one remembers
that this source of mnrnls which sprung
forth nt the foot of Illmainya, before
the genius of the- Hellenes was fully
developed, has still preserved its whole
(ertlle purity and bewitching fresh
ness, and that the Sage from Knpllava-
thu even today I* the best adviser and
most valued friend In adversities.
Buddhism can hardly be called a re
ligion. It ha* neither u Cosmogony,
nor god*, nor a real cult. It Is the
mo*t beautiful moral and a philosophy
which stands comparison with the most
daring thoughts of the modern mind.
Buddhism has captured Thibet, Blr-
a, Slam, 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
I* not so strange that it Is gaining
ground In Europe. It was Buddhism
which Inspired Germany’s most pow
erful philosopher to a philosophy whose
onderful exactness no one doubts any
rnger. It is a well known fact that
Schopenhauer built his theory of the
will or. 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 also be admitted that the
theosophlsts with their strange beliefs
during the last years have done very
much to make the teachings of Cnkya-
Munl widely kn<\wn In England and
Frunce.
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
bouruus, thl* dark-skinned sage read
the work* of Herbert Hpeneer, 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, lik<\ the As-
cetes, were eager to further the good
cause, nnd showed great contempt for
the material blessing* of thl* world.
The Church of the South, whose
head Sutnangala Is, Is more rational
and liberal than the Church of the
North, whose aisiMtolic capital I* In
Thibet.
When one looks more closely at these
two churches they often appear ridicu
lous because of their ignorance and
superstitions, while Buddhism I* alto
gether wisdom, love nnd charity.
One day not very long ago I found
myself In the peaceful halls of Museum
Gulmet, an«l here among the god* of
Asia, In the midst of the silent shad
ows of science, though fully aware of j
the modern life, stirring outside, from s
which no man living can entirely tear 1
himself loose, I thought of the hard j
necessities of life, of the law which j
commands us to work, of the sufferings
of life, and while 1 remained standing
there before the image of this old sage,
to whose voice 409,000.000 people still
listen, I must admit thnt I felt tempted
to jvray to him as to a god. and ask him
to tell me the secret which all rulers
and nations are seeking in vain—the
science of knowing how* to live right.
And it seemed to me thnt this young
Ascete who sits with crossed legs on
the lotus flower, the symbol of purity,
answered ine in two words: charity
nnd 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 mugnlficent pnlaces and
beuutlfu! gardens, where golden foun
tains played and beautiful peacocks
displayed their gorgeous colors on the
green lawn* and where high walls hid
the misery of the world from my eyes,
but iny heart was sad because only one
thought lived In me. And when my
beautiful slaves played to ine and danc
ed before ine my harem looked to me
us If It were a graveyard.
"Four times 1 left my garden. I met
an old man, nnd 1 felt weak from age
like he; 1 met a sick innn, and I suf
fered from the same sickness; I met a
corpse, nnd death was In me. I met
an Ascete, nnd as I saw that he had
peace within himself, I resolved to
reach It following ill* example.
"One night, while everybody In- my
palace was sleeping, I took n Inst look
at my sleeping wife and child, mounted
• white horse and fled Into the
. amp wood* to think over the mis
eries of humanity, over their countless
causes and the 'mean* to escape them.
"I asked two famous hermits, who told
ine 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 flat,
exclaimed: 'Oh, look at the«beautlful
hermit, he is all black and blue, and
his colors like the fish matyura.'
I was nearly dying without having
found the wisdom which I had sought,
but when I reached til® shores of Lake
N'ulrandjana 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 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 hair, 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,
mr 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 a* long as you
have all kinds of desires than you can
quench your thirst with all the water
In the sen. Wisdom alone can quench
the thirst of the soul. Be without ha
tred, without anger, without falsehood.
Be patient toward the impatient, for
giving toward those who do you harm.
Always do to others as you want others
to do to you. Never do anybody any
harm.
"This Is what I taught poor and rich
during five and forty years, after which
time 1 was allowed to pass Into the
happy realms of peace, which I now
shall enjoy In all eternity."
Having said this, the golden idol
grew silent, looking at me with his
beautiful eyes and his entrancing
smile.
Oh! if Cakya-Munt ever existed, as

Havana, Cuba, Aug. 30.—The defeat
of the band of rebels led by Herman
Cortez, near Esperanza, the capture «»f
the leader and the killing of a number
of insurgents was the principal news
from the front this morning.

lation today that a conspiracy had be< n
discovered In which some of the police
were concerned. Numerous arrests
have been made here and many men
are leaving the city.

President Palma, is in New Orleans

2,000 horses for the Cuban government.
General Aleman, governor of Santa
Clara province, telegraphed President
Palma that unless reinforcements are
sent, Santa Clara city is likely to fall
Into the hands of the Insurgents.

between the government forces, under
Captain Delgado, the slayer of General
Quentin Banderas, and the rebels, un
der ex-Congressman Campos Marquet-

said to be a very bloody one.
AS TO "AUCTION"
AND YOUNG LADIES
The proprietor of the boarding house
near the corner of East Fair and
Moore streets, on which the sffcn “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
Indies 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* Leased Wire.
Paris, Aug. lO.^That Major Alfred
Dreyfus Is to retire from the army in
October on a pension is the statement
made by The Patrie.
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. But
his wisdom was not made for the al
ways restless people of Europe and
America, and the remedy which ne tells
us cures the universal evil does not
h/*!p 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
Is, nevertheless, our best friend and
ndvlser. To those who understand him
he gives earnest, strong rules of living,
nnd If he does not help us to solve tho
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, nnd I found In one of these
book* a legend which made such an Im
pression upon me that I must tell It
again here:
In Mnthufla, 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 she would be very
glad to see him at her house. But
Upagupta did not come. He was
chaste and kind-hearted and full of
charity. He possessed wisdom, 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, feet*, ears
and nose cut off. She was taken to
the grave yard, where the sentence
was carried out, and she was 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 u parasol over his head. When the
servant saw that It was Upagupta, she
hurriedly gathered her mistress' hand*
and feet and covered them with her
mantle.
The young man went up to Vasava
datta and silently looked at the girl
who had once been the costliest pearl
of the city. The courtlsane opened
her eyes and when she recognized him
she said with her dying voice:
"Upagupta, Upagupta, when my body
was decked with costly silks, when It
wus soft, and white like the lotus flow -
er, 1 waited for you in vain. Why do
you come when 7 am bloody and man
gled nnd must awaken only feeling*
horror and disgust?"
In a voice full of unspeakable kind
ness Upagupta replleo:
"Sister Vasavadatta, in those dav«
wMfen you #ere beautiful, your beauty
did not allure me. I saw you even then
with the eyes of my soul, as I see you
before me now. I knew that beauty is
worthless. Verily, I tell >ou. to th-ae
who really hear and see, you are still
the same. Therefore, do not grieve,
do not bemoan the loss of the shadowy
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 mufh. Do not have any
more desires, and you will be like*the
gods. Do nqt 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, anc
be content to go away to the eternal
peace." '
The courtlsane heard these word*
and as ahe aaw that he spoke th«
left this sad world. 6
