C., Aug. 30.—Returns from 38 out of 43 precincts In New berry county give tho following suits: For United States Senator—B. R. Tillman (no opposition), 1,403. For Governor—Ansel, 689; Blease, 874; Brunson, 115; Jones, 110; Man ning, 68; McMahan, 10; Sloan, 13. For Lieutenant Governor—McLeod (no opposition), 1,875. For Secretary of State—McCown, 1,018; Morrison, 200; Ragin, 431; Trib ble, 196. For Comptroller General—Jones, 856; Walker, 986. For State Treasurer—Jennings (no opposition), 1,884.

For Railroad Commissioner—Cansler, 778; Sellers, 35; 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 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. 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 after 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. The lead 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 face from a shoulder strap.

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.

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.

Joseph Hyman fell O O dead from a sudden Attack of O 0 heart failure. O O 0 00000000000000000000000000 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 REBEL LEADER IS CAPTURED DURING BATTLE Bloody Fight Is Reported To Be in Progress at Artemisa. By MANUEL CALVO. Special Cable—Copyright. 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. An unconfirmed rumor was in circu 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. A special committee, appointed by President Palma, is in New Orleans today for the purpose of purchasing 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. A fight Is In progress at Artemi*a between the government forces, under Captain Delgado, the slayer of General Quentin Banderas, and the rebels, un der ex-Congressman Campos Marquet- tl. Details are lacking, but the fight la 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
