The phosphate commission have recently visited the works and dredges, and have r?duced the royalty to 25 cents per ton on river rock. A cyclone at Guthrie, Oklahoma, last week destroyed three-fourths of the town. More than a dozen persons were killed and 150 badly injured. The home of the blizzard, the great Northwest, is 'now being swept by terrific cyclones that de molish homes and destroy many human lives. Tennessee's exposition will open at Nashville ou May 1st. Tho buildings are said to be marvels of beauty and the exhibits inter esting and wonderful. Another newspaper correspond ent has been killed in Cuba. C. E. Crosby, of New York, was shot a few dav3 ago while watching a bat tle between the Spaniards and Cu bans. Thousands have been made homeless by the floods on the Mis sissippi river. The condition of the people of that section is pitia j$P*???m i10; _a^propriation_jrjor Congress as well as private contri butions have been asked for. State Treasurer Timmerman says, in reference to the expected deficit in the State's finances, that there will be money enough to run the government until September, when it will be necessary to bor row $100,000. He thinks the in come tax will add little to the treasury. Gen. Grant's mausoleum will be dedicated with imposing ceremo nies in New York on April 27th. Many who fought against him h ave signified their intention to pay a tribute to his memory by their presence on the occasion. Mo?by, the gallant Confederate, will figure in the parade. The trustees of Clemson College have decided to continue the work of holding farmers' institutes.

The Philadelphia Press fore shadows the coming of the millen ium as follows : "Flying is solved. The princi ple is known. A mechanical ex. pedient is all that is needed now to make it successful. Practical flight is to-day not more than five or ten years off. A glow worm makes light with about one three hundredth part of the force used in ordinary artificial light. When men know how to make light as cheap, streets and homes will be as light as day for a mere fraction of what light costs now. This is nenr. Vacuum illu mination without incandescence is already in full operation, and in a year or two should' cut down the price of light to a sixth of its cur rent cost, aud in five or ten years light may be like water, turned on in every house at will. When these come, the only use forgaB will be for cooking-if this is not done by electricity. Fac tories, also, before many years, will be run by transmitted electric power. This has begun to be done, and in five or ten years wi.l be completed, and the factory fire and boiler will be a thing of the past. / The city of the future, and no very distant future, will have no trolley poles or wires and no horses. All movements will bo on rail by silent air motors or by horseless carriages equally silent. All pave ments will be asphalt. Unlimited light will be as cheap as unlimitod water is to-day. No coal will be delivered at private house, 'and ashes, street dust and dirt will be reduced to a minimum. With no factory fire and no kitchen and furnace fires, the air will b9 as pure in the city as in the country. Trees will have a chance : houses be warmed and lighted as easily and cheaply as they are now sap plied with water." 7. Now is the time to subscribe for tho ADVERTISER. THE PROPER POSITION. There has been some doubt in the minds of Solicitor Tnurmoad's friends as to whether he would discharge the duties of his office pending his trial for the killing of Mr. Harris, but he has very properly we think, concluded not to appear as prosecuting officer for the State until after his own case has been heard and deter mined. After consulting the Governor, Attorney Genera:, and others he has given out the fol lowing statement : "Being a prosecuting office the discharge of the duties of the officer Tight become embarrassing to me pending the decision of my countrymen on the charge to be preferred on account of the recent deplorable occurrence at Edgefield. I deemed it my duty to advise with the governor and attorney general as to the course to pursue relative to my duties as solicitor. The- :s no impediment in the law . the performance of said dut by me, but a sense of ?propriety dictates that I ask the presiding judge at each term of court to appoint-a soliciter pro tem. to be compensated by me out >f my salary. After consultation with the governor and attorney general they agree fully with me. "While I regret sorely said unfortunate occurrence I feel perfectly justified before God and man in what I did, and do not^ be I ieve that LstUl ? h^1 plained in the least when the facts are known. "I will see that the interests of the State do not suffer, but I will uot conduct prosecution until my case is determined." WAR REMINISCENCES. Two Confederate Generals, For rest and M or iran. BY "KNAPSACK. Forrest and Morgan were both cavalry generals, and both were "raiders"-in fact both had many things in common. Both practiced that unique innovation in warfare -originated by Forrest himself which was'to rush with the cavalry upon some weaker body of the enemy, hastily dismount and fight as infantry, whip the enemy, parole the prisoners, and then mount and rivle away to other victories before recruits could arrive to reinforce the surprised Federals. As raiders they respect tho enemy continually and terribly, so that both naniee became proverbial and a terror, not only to large bodies of cavalry and infantry, but also to the "homeRuards" and bushwhackers.' However, there was great dissimi - HUD t. uiuu.ut -aoiCJLUilllSUUU LUU sternness, with some consequential roughness. His great passion was to whip the enemy, and what was not relevant to that-what did not make directly for that-he held ir light esteem. He accepted courage in his soldiery as a matter of course scorned the fa.nt of heart, and summarily had all deserters shot sometimes, it was said, "without judg r jury"-in other words, with t court-mariial. At to his personal appearance, he waa something over six feet tall, but of medium weight ; rather sinewy, with a desperate looking mien, and withal careless as to his attire-that is, what refined society would call uncouth. Nevertheless, he was as brave as a lion. One day some ladies of Mssissippi who had been sewing garments for the boys in gray, feeling a deep admiration for this brave man, presented him with a pair of silver spurs made of their own thimbles. A little patriotic speech was made along with the gift. For a moment the stern General was overcome. His hands trembled, and a tear rolled dov n his cheek as he said, with fervor; "I'llwear'em, and if the enemy gets 'em it will be when my heels are cold on the ground." * * Gen. Morgan, known the nation over as "Morgan the Raider," was, until the beginning of the war, a gentleman of the blue grass region of Kentucky. He was the owner of fine race horses-thoroughbred. His residence was at Lexington, to this day the great center of i culture, education and aristocracy in that State. As a commander he was kind and good to those who served under him, as constituting his ramous "Moreover he led them in such true soldierly style, that the mem bers of his command still still living are ever ready to extol his prowess his kind benevolence. He was a man of fine physique of more than the average height, and stately. His soldiers admired him much for his grace in the sad dle. He had deep blue eyes, that bespoke great sympathy for his fellow-patriots. There wa6 this impressive thing about John H. Morgan: he was a soldier with grace and chivalry as well a3 valor. Gen. Morgan had many thrilling experiences. Among these was his raid in Ohio (a venture which he beforehand had deprecated) and capture, imprisonment at Columbus, and his remarkable escape by th? assistance of his fellow-captive, Capt. Thoa Hines, whom Morgan nicknamed Count of Monte Cristo," because of his ingenuity in the exploit. Hines was a brickmason, and by bis skill effecte ia outlet unJer the wall throu? which he Morgan and sev eral c 1er Confederates escaped. They immediately took a train and, singularly enough, Morgan was seated beside a Federal Major. The latter remarked, as they passed the military prison; "There is where the great Morgan is imprisoned." The General added : "Yes. and 1 trust they 'keep him as safe as he is now."' To which the Major assenting said "Yes" right heartily. After many narrow escapes, they (Morgan[and Hines) made theil way safely out of the enemy's territory. *** But Forrest was never captured. Another striking contrast we find in the maimer of their deaths. Forrest passed quietly away, with his family around him. several years after the war being at the time a member of Court Street C P. Church, in Memphis. Morgan was killed at Greenville, J?a3t Tennessee, in a manner most de plorable. He, with his staff, had taken up quarters at the house of a Northern sympathizer. A young woman, the daughter of he man in whose house they were quartered went hurriedly on foot to where the Federals were stationed and told them that Morgan was at her father's house.lmmediately the Yankees hurried to Greenville. Morgan's command was stationed out of town ; so when the enemy came up ho had no one with him but his staff. As tho Federals sur rounded the house several entered the room in which Morgan sal. Seeing there was no chance of escape, he threw up his hands in surrender. But in a moment, a Federal soldier, flagrantly disre [gardingthe usages of civilized warfare, took deliberate aim and fired, killing Morgan instantly. The Yankee's act is explained by the fact that a liberal reward had been offered to the one who should kill the famous raider. Thus end; ed the career of ibis ca\alryman. She Would be Consul. Mrs Chaplin Weed of Muscatine, Ia, the first woman to apply for the posit iou of United States consul. This progressive woman is desir ous to represent Uncle Sam as bis consul in Germany, and she has as good backiug as any man who was ever sont abroad by the government at Washington. Senator Allison is representing her and her petitou to President McKinley. The document is signed by all the^big Republican politici ans of Iowa, inc.uding Governor Drake, the judges of the supreme court and several congrebsmen. It is also signed by Horace B'jies and George M. Pullman. Mrs. Weed and her friends contend that she is amply qualified to fill the position she seeks. She has a splendid education, and in addition to her broad culture, shu is a practioal business woman having an intimate acquaintance with commercial matters. She ie the widow of Chester Weed, whc was a prominent mercantile mac in Iowa, and who built up a large business, which Mrs Weed haf successfully managed since hei husband's death. Mrs Weed has traveled extensively liuen t ly ana IE one ot the social lea c ers of Muscatine. So highly die Governor Boies think of her ca pacify that he tendered her th< position of trustee in ono of the Iowa colleges, which, however, shi declined. Mrs Weed lives in a beautiful house on one of the highest pointi of the bluff overlooking thi Mississippi river, which she buil recently. She is independently rich and very popular. Farmers' Institutes. Clemson College, March 31.-The trustees of Clemson college al their recent meeting decided tc continue the work of holding farm ers' institutes. Arrangements have been made toehold institutes at the following places : At Greer's in April; at Fairview, Greenville county, May 1 ; in Chester county, April 15-16; in Newberry, 14. I These institutes will be held with [outcostjto the community. Mem bers of the college faculty, who are experts in the veterinary science will be present. Every county in the State has the right to at least one institute. In order that arraogemeuts may be made to cover as much ground as possible with the least expense to the college, parties wishing in stitutes held in their community should address at an early date President E. B. Craighead, at Clemson. Washington, March 27.--The I sensation of the tariff debate today I was the onslaught made by Richard son of Tennessee, upon the bill. He read from comparative statement8 prepared by the chairman of the committee and stated that the pre8 ent bill will tax the people a great deal higher than evon the McKin ley bill. Twelve out of fourteen ney schedules, he declared, contain j rates higher than the McKinley bill. It is unfortunate, that tbe con sumers of the United States have no agent to represent them in the prepartion of the new tariff The bili as it passed the House is a New England measure, with a sop thrown to the {farmers in the Bhape of increased duties upon eggs hay, potatoes and other agricul tural products, but what is the good of an adpitional duty of 1 cent.a dozen upon eggs or another dollar a ton on hay, or a duty of 10 cents a bushel on potatoes, when, under the new woo en schedule the farmer will have to pay $5 more for evory euit of clothes? Train of 20 cars loade.i with cot ton goods mado at tin Piedmont and Pelzer mills went up bv Greenville last Thursday on ifs way to Shanghai, China.' Twelve of the cars wero loaded at Pied mont and eight at Pelzer. There were 2,500 bales of goods in all, worth $40 a bale raakingjust a cool $100,000, "MOTHERS FRIEND" Shortens labor, lessens pain, diminishes danger to life of both mother and child and leaves her : i condi tion more favorable to speedy i^covery.
