PANDEMONIUM
OVER AT AIKEN
■ 4
When Richards Declared He’d
Vote For Blease, Things Cut
Loose. Near Riot Results.
Aiken, S. C.—Whon John C 4. Richards,
candidate for governor, declared his in
tention to vote for Governor Blease for
the United States senate, here Tuesday
afternoon ana followed up his declaration
with a list of questions which he asked
United Stales Senator E. D. Smith to
answer, pandemonium broke loose and
for fully fifteen minutes the shouting
and yelling drowned out everything else.
At one time it looked us ll' a fight
might be started. A spectator-—in the
audience was plying Mr. Richards with
questions and yelling for Senator Smith,
when one of his questions so angered
Mr. Richards that he veached back and
grabbed up a tumbler which was on the
stand in front of the chairman and
brandishing It in his hand denounced
Ills tormentor, trouble being averted by
the removal of the heckler,
Friends of Mr. Richards and oppon
ents made a rush for the stand, those
favoring Snator Smith Jeering at the
speaker and friends of Governor Blease
and Mr. Richards surrounding him and
stating they were determined that he
should be allowed to speak. The chair
man let the crowd run away with him
apd so great was the disorder that the
factions of both Smith and Blease vented
their opinions unchecked for several
minutes.
Speaker Determined.
Facing the screaming throng and say
ing he was wetermined to finish reading
the questions he asked the newspapers
to answer about Senator Smith, Mr.
Richards went through with them under
the greatest difficulty and ever and anon
having to stop when the din broke out.
He asked where Senator Smith stood it,
1890 when the now senator B. R. Till
man led the reformers to victory and
overthrew the old ring rule; if Senator
Smith was a member of the Haskell
movement; why Senator Smith did not
attend the recent state convention and
use his efforts to prevent the passing or
the new rules which the speaker said
were an affront to the poor people and a
hardship on the farmers designed to dis
franchise thousands of while who
cannot read and write; it the senator
had raised the price of cotton; and nu
merous other questions. All of which
were received with shouts of derision by
the Smith supporters and expressions of
rapt approval by the Blease followers;
Several tilts between Mr. Richards and
members of the audience fanned the
conflagration. One white-haired gen
tleman arose and told Mr. Richards the
crowd did not want him dipping into the
senatorial lace and that he had nothing
to do with Senator Smith. The speak
er replied that Mr. Manning had arraign
ed Governor Blease and this spectator
had sat quiet and not objected, his fur
ther statement being \ drowned In the
shout which came from the throats of
the Bleasites.
Blames Newspapers.
The questions asked of Senator Smith
on the stump here by Mr. Richards were
occasioned by the challenge of the latter
to the newspapers that unless they let
him alone and quit calling him “coat
tail swinger” he was going to tell on the
stump why he was for Governor Blease
instead of Senator Smith. He promises
another list as soon as the ones asked
today arc answered.

NO MORE BALD HEADS
, (Tld Bite).
A method oT Hewing halrß In the hu
man scalp in casen of partial or total
baldness has been successfully used
In several Instances by Dr. Szekely
at the hospital of St. Stephene at Bud
apest and a report appears In the
Times.
The number of hairs “planted" in
the head of a patient has been as
many qp 50,000. One hundred hairs
tare drawn through punctures in the
scalp to every square centimeter,
and as both ends are left free the
number lg thus 200, or over 1,000 to
each square inch. Very fine gold
wires are used, one live hundredth of
an inch in diameter, and fine, long
hairs from a woman’s head are at
tached at the middle ao these. The
gold loop or knot acts as an "anchor,"
and after sterilization Is Introduced
Into the subcutaneous tissue, where
It Is slightly twisted, and holds the
hair permanently In position. It is
stated that 600 hairs can thus be In
troduced into the scalp within three
quarters of an hour.
Dr. Szekely has designed a special
Instrument Tor introducing and fixing
the gold wires. The latter are so
light and so fine that the total amount
of gold In the scalp after "planting"
60,00 hairs is only one gramme. The
hair Is stated to appear perfectly nat
ural, and a capsule of tissue appears
to form around each gold wire knot.
The Inflammation resulting from the
treatment entirely dlsapears in from
JO to J 2 days, ami In no case, so far,
has any Intense Inflammation or sup
puration resulted. The hair can be
washed, brushed and treated with oil
In the ordinary way, and one oT the
earliest patients so treated, a lady;
hag retained her hair intact, with tb*
original luster and flexibility, for over
seven years.
Just received, car load of
