The State says Gov. Heyward was
pleasantly surprised Wednesday night
by a visit from a committee, rcpre
gentlug his staff, which presented to
bim a very handsome silver servloc of
five pieces. The members of the
staff took ocoasion to e di when i J was
known that Gov. Hey wai d wcu'.d bt

ment, and the entire visit was a great
surprise to his exoollenoy.

the silver service was taken Into tin

Frost, of the oooasl n for the terna;
oall. Gov. Hoywaid was for ^r-o
taken entirely eff of his fi eb, and he
was overwhelmed by the sentlmcnif,
conveyed In Gou. Frost's sperch of
presentation, but he easily recovered
his usual poise and made acknowledg
ment graceiully aud with evident
feeling.
Sometime ago Gov. HQ, ward suf
fered the misfortune to lose a valuable
horse, and members of his stuff
prompted by the commissary general,
Gol. Watty G. Smith of Orangeburg,
proposed to present him with another
saddle animal. From this the move
ment took broader form and finally lt

self.

O ie of the spookiest stories that
has followed the terrible Sau Francisco
eartl qu ike aud Qro comas from the
navy department, and ls therefore,
entirely authentic and worthy of be
lief. A man named Hanson was ir
the enlisted service of the navy at
Mare Island. With him lived his
wife, mother and twoohildrcn. They
were lu San Frai.c;sooat the time of
the eaithqu ske, and were co vere !
with tons of debris, afterwards being
burned to a crisp: Hanson was miss
ed and a search was instituted for
him. He was found, or rabnor what
remained of him together with the
oharrcd bodies of his family.
When Hanson's friends discovered
his fate they opened up communloa
don wit? the navy department to
know if the government would pay
the cost of transportation of the hoi
les of the family from San Francisco
tu Washington that Hanson's boly
might be properly intered in Arling
ton cemetery i nc department did
not know at that timo that any of
tho family had sufforod In the Are,
but tho enlisted man, and so wired
back that ouly tho body of Hanson
could be -transponed to, W?ht>.:gt?o>
at the expense of the government.
Io due timo a reply oamo that the
bodies of Hauson, his two ohildren,
wife and mother wero in tho same
ci flin, and that lt would be Impossible
to distinguish one from the other.
Closers of tho navy department aro
not generally spooky, but upon re
ceipt of this telegram there was a gen
eral desire to drop the matter. It was
out of the ordinary run of things. It
was flually decided that uuder the
oi rou instances all of the h idles should
be brought hero for burial In Arllng
ton, and this will doubtless be done
as soon as arrangements are conclud
ed.

The day oaf ore tho San francisco

Washing on, received a lettor from
thc authorities of So. M iry's hospital

his brother, who had been In tho hos

death, st ff or tug from heart tr.oubld,
could not possibly survive the day.
Tuey desired lnform vtl >u relativo to
preparing and shipping the body, The
eartl q juke came tho folio ?lng day.
The mau was lifted out of his bed and
In what was thought tobo a dying
condition taken to one of the places
of refuge nearoy. Next day he was
able to write his brother that bo was
on tho road to rooovery, and hoped to
be about his business. Tho Washing

MU. BRYAN'S VI8IT.
Tba afnval In Bombay Tuesday ot
Mr, William Jennings Bryan, the
loade? of the great domooratlo party
of thc United States, ls an event of
singular lutoreat. Mr. Bryan n?ed<i
no Introduction to tho citizens of bom
bay, .'-bis fame is already world-wide,
ile bats twice been nominated as c<.n
dlda. t?for the presidency of tho Uni
ted States; and though ho was not
suco }8ful, ho orjiys the o mple'.e
conil.l.Cnco of millions of his fellow
ojui oifymrin, and he ls young enougn
to toy ?gain. Tho Issues of America
poll? les aro no direct concern of Hum
na}; lt ls eoough f jr this city to koo
thav Mr. Bryan is ono of tho grea^l
of 1 ving Americans, to make lt gi id
to IxyC him in Its midst. It welcome.
uir>. heoAUso his visit typifies and rep
res ets that Intense Interest lu India
au its people whloh is socharaoterls
tlc f mqfler.n Amorloa. That intor
* ?re appn olatei because
lo wdbeeoa from nu other motive than
a Hoop and sympathetic regard ipr
tb^t natives of India, and from a
desire to know them better, and to
study tho system of administration
under which thoy live. It ls a fae
that during tho last year or two
the number of Amerloan travolers
visiting India has probably exceeded
those of any nationality other than
British; and this faot ls only one indi
cation of that eager inclination to
learn more of India whloh ls at once
discovered by any visitor to the Uni
ted States from this country. Mr
Bryan ls understood to look with
nome misgivings upon the polloy of
expansion in the Pacido on which his
mighty nation has now entoiei; but
whatever may be the principles to
whloh h; adheres, we tm it, that In
the vasu machinery whloh represents
British rule in tho India of today, he
will lind some features which may In
vite his approval.
"Mr. Bryan is not only a great
American, he Is a'?o by common oin

Bombay a welcome privilege In con
senting to deliver his famous address,
The Prli ci of Peace,' in the town

suggested by a visit to the tomb o
Napoleon. Admission is free, and the
only sroublo we fear ts that oven the
town hall will not suflleo to hold those
who are eager to avail them Helves ol
Mr. Bryan's graceful ar quiescence in
tho widely-expressed wiso that be
should deliver a publlo address in Bom
bay. As a speaker, bis powers are un
quo. Whatever views lils hearers
may begin by holding, he so grlpt
them by his magnetic personality and
tho int"iislty of bis onvlotlon, that
thoy Invariably end by acknowledging
tho power of his magic irlft of silvern
spocch. If he c mid gather tho whol"
population of tho Unitod States lute
one vast hall he would be eleoted pres

say him nay---whatever they might

"Bombay, Town Hall, in the course
of Its history cxtonding now for a per
iod of throe quarters of a oontury, ha>
been the scene of many historic and
eventful gatherings, but is is doubt
ful wheth;r any have been of a morl
Interesting or unique c'.araotor that

Wlibam Jennings Bryan. Tho audi

Americans, of ooo rsc, turned up lr
large numbers, and whllo Kngllshraer
wero woll to tho fore, there wore alsc
representatives from other Kuropear
oountrloi. By far thc large nn.J irlty
howovor, wa9 composod of nativos o?

testimony to tho world-wide usage o
the English language, for those pres
ont woro ESagllsh speaking pcoplo
and had assembled together te heai
ono of the greatest maators of orator]
dollver an address ip that language
The personality of tho man, no doubt
attnotod many, but tho ohlof ant
predominating reason for the attond
uno* waa the desire to listen to Amer
loan's foremost orator. At the out
sot lt ls safe to say that those who
had the good fortune to be present ro
oelved an Intellectual treat.
"Long before the time for the meet
ing to oo m m en oo-0 o'clock-the
Town Hall was paokod. It ls esti
mated that with those standing by
the windows and doors, there were
quite three thousand parsons present,
aud of these only a smill proportion
wore seated, the sides and back of
the hall being Ulled with people per
'eotly willing to put up with tho dis
comfort of standing. The hall wai
tastefully decorated with flags, prom
inent by tho organ hoing the stars
and stripes, th ? union Jaok, and the
Japanese national emblem. At live
minutes to s*x the Hon. Mr FuPou,
Sir'L\wrcnce Jenklus aud Dr. Mack

van Lo i for tl f hour when the Amerl
ian cou os ul, Mr. W. T. F e, escorted
the distinguished visitor on to thc
platform, the audience aooordlng him
a splendid reception. Mr. Bryan was
scated between Dr. Maoklohan and
Slr Lawrence Jenkins Ia a few hap
pl ly expressed sentences, br. Mack
lohan, who presided, introduc
ed Mr. W. J. Bryan, who
then delivered his address on "The
Prince of Peace." Mr. Bryan spoke
for exaotly one hour, and throughout
the whole of his oration bo had the
undivided attention of his audlonof.\
Thoso who aro best calculated b<
know, and rm that the company lasl
nlgnt was tho largest ever gatliercc
within the Town Hall, and lt onBlst
ed of divers races and creeds. It con
sequently speaks much for the mag
netio intluenoo of the man when it hs
omaembered that for one hour Mr
Bryan held this varbd gathering
undor tho spoil of hi? eloquence, wollt
?io discoursed on a subjact In which A

TILLMAN PLE\S1$1) i
\T THIS IIB ULT O ? TIIK RECENT
CON VEN HONS.
Cays He Will Continue to Fight t.
Purify the state J) i HU ot Bary
System.
Sanator Tillman is graabiv pleased
with the result in the county coven
tlons throughout South Carolina, says
the Washington correspondent ot tht I
Columbia Record. Ile has been sc
busy wUh railroad rate leg station he
oas not had muoh timo to anal} /. > the
situation oounty by county, but onere
.vas au i x oe. M i 'ju of saiisf^ot/Kn
through' ut.
Naturally ho ls pleased with the
strong endorsement given bim in
many counties and the evident laok
of anything like opposition to him ,
among the people of tho stato. Bo
yond this, however, he Is greatlj
natlsded with the showing made b.
tho dispensary people in all directions
lie is more ilrmly oouvlnced now thai
over, he says, that In the omntlct
whore the dispensary was voted ou
there was n.> real expression of a ma
Jorlty of the people. He prodlots that
practically every oounty Iii the state
will, as quickly as possible, desert tht
prohibition farce it hns in yogue and
return to tho control of the whiskej
traille under the dispensary system.
Senator Tillman said that it was
plainly evident that tho wavo of
opposition to the dispensary that ran
through the state for awhile is peter
ing out and ho believea that the in
sbitution, under promlBO of better
manage ment aud laws that will pre
vent corruption and fraud, will be
sustained by a larger majority than
over before known in the state. Th<
senator renews his promise to lead f?
tight that will mean purification of
h'j dispensary svs-em and tho enao
tion of laws that will provent a re
. urn to corruption. Hi bell? ves thai
?be people have wisely concluded thai
tb ls not the system that ls at fault,
out toe laok of proper laws and the
idnilnlstratlon of the business by
.meanies of tho Institution. With
i'.rlotor laws and In the hands of lt?
'rienda In tho future there ought no?
? be a recurrence of the things tba
' iv u i ed many people for a long
imo (
The moral r fleet of tho results of
it ounty conventions will be good (
i iroughout tho stace, lt is believed ,
by the senator. It demonstrates tht
strength of the dispensary forces and
diows to them that if they will tum
?ut. at the primaries they have the
votes to forever settle the question In
he right way. Senator Tillman be
1 eveH that every friend of the dis
pensary syBtaua should unhcHltntingly
insist on candidates for the legislature ,
answering dlreatly, without evasion, \
auestiouH showlug how they stand on (
the dispnnsary question. If they do
not positively as.ert their willingness
to continue it under laws that will
make it what lt should be he thinks
they should be promptly dofeated in
favor ot men with frank oonvloMons
and having no underhanded projects
of stabbing it in the back when in
office.

Trouble.
T. M. Hill, formerly anent of the
Southern Ballway ab Greera, waa
arrested some tims ago charged With
em .( '//, lng 93 000 ot tho company's
money. Kid's accounts at Greer were
regularly and frequently examined by
traveling auditors of the Southern,
And all of them pronounced tnem cor*
reot until early lu 1005, v/heu Mr. W.
D. Lo ?rey olaims to have discovered
: $3.000 shortage. Hill waa relieved
of uta position three days before his
arrest, which was in ado at the in
stance, aa stated, of au agent of the
\mcrloan Surety company.
This concern bonds the Southerns,
agents and lnaures tue railway oom*
pany against loss throngh thier mis
appropriation of funds. Upon the
ditioovery of the alleged dhoripaney
lu Hill's books, tho Southern oailed
upon the bursty cc m piny to make
good the loss. The money was paid
ind tho bonding company tuen took
up the matter of making an example
of HUI. Hill was an oflloer in the
PjOhby terUu ohuron and also a popu
lar Sunday school teacher, and hui ar*
rest produced a sensation.
Four years ago an efforo was made
io rob tho safe at Greer, and HUI,
who was in oharge of the offloe that
night, came near sacrificing his life
.o save the company's property. Two
nen entered the oflloe, and covering
aim with pistols, ordered him to
ihrow up his bandi and open the safe,
mere were two otner robbers watch*
tig from without. Hill threw up his
uanda bu o refused to dlsokaj tue safe
?PI bl nation, whereupon he was shot
uid fell to the fl jor. Lying on the
loor he refused to obey a second
Kdor, and this refusal, too, was fd
owed by a bullet, which oras (red
through the ageut's body.
Theories and abo ts aroused the
bown and tho highwayman had to
.eave without their booby. Hid was
f -'imd lying in a pool of blood. Sinos
'.n a. t- time, it ls dat med by his
friends, Hill's mind has ttuflerod H\
[)ouuequouooof the night's experien
ces As a result, they say, the ao
sounts of his, offloe having bcoomo
muddled, culminating tn his arrest.
Many of Hill's friends most of whom
remain truo to him, do noe believe
that he intended to do wrong, and
and that the apparent shortage in
nts otflce is the result of mental and
physloal trouoles oaused by the In
juries he received ai ab ?ve described.
