tumorous Department. Salted HI* Well In Vain. "Some years ago," said the narrator, "an oil boom hit Litchfield, 111., and everybody for miles around was sniffing for oil, and every stranger suspected cf being an expert looking for a good thing. An old farmer named < Loomis, had a big place three miles out of town, which would have been a for- ; tune for him had he not been possessed | of a mania for swapping, manifested in ' a perennial attempt to trade off its land ; for twice its value. < "When the boom was at the top ; notch Loomis received a visitor who i took so much interest in the farm, so i liked its appearance, location, etc., that i the old man scented a petroleum man ' and saw visions of incalculable i wealth. Being a shrewd man, Loom- < is did not care to take any unnecessary > chances with Providence, and on the quiet he sent the hired man out the back way with orders to dump the ker- i osene oil can into the well. The visitor i liked the entire place, inspected the < barn, the chicken yard and then, as if ' by chance, asked for a drink of water, < "Loomis was waiting for that and hauled up a brimming bucket before the man's own eyes and poured him out a gourd full witn a fine, opalescent scum upon it. The visitor smelled it, tasted it, made a wry face and asked if the water was always like that. 'Oh, < yes,' said Loomis, 'but you soon get ac- i customed to the taste, and our doctors say that it is the finest water on earth for the stomach.' 'Well, I'm ding danged if I'll ever get used to it,' was the unexpected reply. 'I am looking for a farm not an oil well, and if I've got to haul my drinking water three miles from Litchfield I guess I'd rather buy iicuitrr iun m. "It took Loomis six months to get the taste of oil out of his well, and by that time the boom was over, and nothing was left of the oil craze, but rotting derricks and abandoned shafts."? New Orleans Times-Democrat. John B. GoukIi'n Quick Wit. An effort of one of John B. Gough's tours of the west was to arouse his converts to a political movement in favor of prohibition; and in several states the politicians began to give consideration to the cry, says the Philadelphia Times. The distillers and liquors dealers are said to have been so frightened that they employed men to follow and lecture, sit among the audience and endeavor to confound mm with questions. He had worked a Topeka, Kan., audience up to a fine pitch of excitement, and in his effective manner, cried: "Temperance! Temperance!! Temperance!!! It will mean money in your pocket, clothes on your back, happiness in your homes, and God in your heart!" > Up leaped one of the paid interrupt- 1 ers and shouted to the audience: "Money in your pockets! Why, fellow-citizens, follow this man's ideas i 1 ~'n +w/\ rvaarknil oqi anu we u uu ut m uic iiwiuwiuv. Think of the fields of tasseled corn that stretch on every side! Whisky is made from corn. We sell millions of dollars 1 worth of corn to the whisky makers. Stop the manufacture of whisky, and ( what'll we do?" Then turning to Gough he went on: I "You, Mr. Smarty?what'll we do? 1 Tell us, if prohibition comes, what'll ! we do with our corn?" "Raise more hogs, my friend," replied < Gough, without a second s hesitation? '< "raise more hogs." < I His Style of Writing.?The copy of 1 a certain novelist is a fearsome sight. ! On more than oue occasion the arrival of a batch of manuscript from this gen- 1 tleman has led to trouble in the com- ' posing department. ] Quite recently the novelist in ques- 1 tion fairly eclipsed himself. His copy was indeed a puzzle. ( "Counfound the fellow," growled one 1 of the "comps." "He's enough to drive a man to drink." "Have you never heard how he ' writes?" solemnly demanded a fellow sufferer. 1 "No," was the reply. "Oh," continued the other, "it's sim- ; iii*. onmicrh Mr. 7. I the novelist) owns : a rough haired terrier. When he feels like writing a story, he whistles to the dog, dips his tail in the ink and plants him down on a sheet of paper. Then the novelist begins to think and tells the story to the dog. The brute wags his tail, and there you are."?Tit-Bits. Peaches Were Costly.?Bignon, who for years kept a celebrated restaurant in Paris, died recently, and his friends are now telling the following story about him: One winter evening Count Paul Demidoff, a distinguished Russian, entered the restaurant and ordered a very plain dinner. When the bill was brought to him he looked over it carefully and then summoned Bignon. "How is it?" he asked. "You charge me thirty francs for two peaches." "Yes, Count," answered Bignon, with a low bow. "But are peaches so rare, then?" asked the count. To this Bignon replied with his most gracious smile: "It is not peaches that are rare. Count, but DemidofTs." The Russian paid the bill. Mrst Have Been Paregoric.?"This search of the Democrats after an issue in the Philippines," said Representative ',1 ? Dannculi'onl!! n Cf-nrd int? 1 to the New York World, "reminds me of a client of mine the necessities of whose large family, recently augmented by twins, made him poor. He came to me joyfully one day and said he had found oil flowing from a spring on his land. "The bottle containing the sample which he brought me had evidently seen family use. but I forwarded it to an expert for analysis. The reply of the expert dashed to the earth the hopes of my client and myself. The ! expert said: "Find no trace of oil. Think your friend has struck paregoric." x According to Mr. Depew, there was a stuttering citizen of New York who announced his intention of entering the ministry. j "How can you expect to be a successful preacher with your aflliction?" he was asked by a friend. "The L-l-l-ord will p-p-put w-w-wwords in my m-m-mouth." was his reply. "Well," said his friend, "the I.ord may put them in, but He will have to ( send somebody to pull them out." ittisccllanrous Reading. FROM CONTEMPORARIES. News and Conuf^uit That Is of More or Less Local Interest. ' V YORK. J Rock Hill Herald. July 12.yMr. Henry G. Anderson, of Fort Lawn, died on Friday afternoon of last week, aged 53 years. His wife, who was Miss Lily Ingram, of Texas, a daughter of Colonel T. F. Ingram, survives with the only sister of the deceased, Miss Maggie Anderson. Mr. Anderson was seriously injured five years ago by a bale of cotton falling on him from a wagon, paralysis resulting in consequence, and from which he never recovered To remove all doubts on the subject, and to correct some statements to the contrary, the act of congress making appropriations for the erection of public buildings in this and other cities, provides as follows: "Proposals made in response to said advertisement shall be addressed and mailed to the secretary of the treasury, who shall then cause tne said proposed sites, and such others as he may think proper to designate, to be examined in person by an agent of the treasury department, who shall make written report to said secretary of the results of said examination and of his recommendation thereon, and the reasons therefor, which shall be accompanied by the original proposals, and all maps, plats, and statements which shall come into his possession relating to the said proposed sites.".... Amzi Brown, colored, was sent up to the circuit court Thursday, on the complaint of John Coleman, a colored man who came in on the Charlotte train op Thursday morning. He claims that Brown was piloting him to a house on the northern outskirts of town, and reaching the woods near the Winthrop pumping station and finding that he had some money, Brown hit him a baa lick on the back of the head with a bludgeon, knocking him down and rendering him unconscious, when Brown stole from him $25 in money, a suit of clothes and his hat. He did not know Brown, but from information received Constable Wingate took Brown in charge, and being recognized by Coleman, he was taken before Magistrate Backham, who sent him up for trial, as "mum when arrested, had On siaL^u. ??w.. , the hat which Coleman recognized as the one stolen from him. Coleman has a painful wound, but it is not at all serious Mr. W. H. Roach, of Dallas county, Tex., who with his wife and little son are visiting the former's sisters in this city, was a caller at Tne Herald office yesterday. He has been in Texas fourteen years and is engaged in farming. His home is in the black land belt, the best cotton land in Texas, a section where this crop has not been a failure since his residence there. This year, he says, the expectation is that from three-fourths to a bale per acre will be gathered, ngtwlthstanding the fact that rain has fallen only once in eighteen months. The corn crop, which was very promising, has, wherever planted thick, been ruined by the hot winds which prevailed for three days about ten days ago?that is, wherever the rows were three feet or less apart and the corn eighteen inches or less in the drill, the crop was burned so as to be practically destroyed. On farms where the distance was greater, even where the rows were three leet apart and the corn three feet in the drill, the damage was nothing like as great, and a fair crop will be gathered from fields of this kind. Mr. Roach says the opinion prevails in Texas that with a continuance of present condltios from three millions to three and a k"" ? r\f hoioo nf rnttnn will be liail I1II1IIV1IO VI VMivw w* marketed in that state this year. The acreage of new lands being brought into cultivation each year is very large and the cotton production is likewise ever on the increase. He was not favorably impressed with the cotton crop from his home to Rock Hill. It did not appear to be specially favorable anywhere. He is an observer of the crops and gave his attention to cotton especially along the road, and he did not see anywhere any better crop than is to oe seen on the Ebenezer farms. Our corn too, compares very well with that he saw in the corn-growing states through which he passed. Mr. Roach will be in Rock Hill possibly for several weeks. He says there is a South Carolina colony in his country, principally from York, and a South Carolinian visiting that section sees many familiar faces and feels very much at home. CHESTER. Lantern, July 12: The house of Colonel Fred Walker, that was destroyed by fire on Monday, was one of the oldest houses about town. Mr. Walker does not know when it was built, but it was many years ago. His grandparents lived in it, and it was there that his father, General W. A. Walker, was born and reared. During the war Mr. Walker says he stayed there with his grandparents Will Thomas, the Negro who was sent to the chaingang from the mayor's court last Thursday morning, escaped on Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock. He cut off his shackles and put out from the camp, as rain had fallen on the evening- before his tracks were easily visible, and he was tracked to Mr. M. E. White's, where the trace was lost. It is thought that he went into the woods. Nothing further, to our knowledge, has been heard of him. Chief Taylor took him to the gang Thursday afternoon and told the guards to keep an eye on him. His sentence was 30 days Mr. Henry Anderson died at his home near Fort Lawn on last Friday, the 4th. He was injured several years ago by a bale of cotton falling on him, and he has never been able to be up since. He was 53 years old. He leaves a wife. His body was buried on Saturday in the Anderson burying ground near the Catawba Falls Mr. J. T. McDill, who was visited by a severe hail storm on Monday evening, which did considerable iiamage to his crop, was on yesterday visited by a violent wind storm which moved one part of his large cattle barn a foot from its position, and it was blown out of shape. Mr. McDill thinks that by a good deal of hard work it can be restored to iis original position. His buggy shed and carriage house were blown down. Every peach, apple and cherry tree in his orchard, except two, was blown down. The wind was confln eel principally to that particular locality it seems. A small barn and a cottoi house about a mile from there wai blown down The regular monthl: meeting of the board of county commis sioners was held on last Monday, thi 7th, with all the members present, anc transacted the following items of bus iness: It was agreed to pay $10 for thi right of way for a road from Mt.

Gastonia Gazette, July 11: An India; axe different from any other we eve saw was brought us a few days ago b Mr. Robert Henderson. It was found 1: 1 the field near his house, and is a double 1 bladed affair. The method of fasten ing a handle to this weapon, if indeei 1 it was a weapon, is somewhat puzzling 1 as it is unlike that of the single-blade^ axes. This one is certainly a curiositj Monday morning while Mrs. Salli Foy and two sisters who live near A1 Healing, were absent at a neighbor' house, one George McCree, a Negr workman at the baryta mine, brok into their pantry and carried off all th provisions therein. McCree was ar rested and taken to Crowder's Moun tain, where he confessed to the thefl " ?" l? a Ulo fomlUr Vin i rte Sci IU mill IIC auu iuo loiiiuj ?? < nothing to eat and that he took thi as the easiest course to procur something to satisfy their hunger.... Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Hoffman, of Bego nia, have the sympathy of their friend in the loss of their little son, 17 month old. He died Monday and was buriei Tuesday at Sandy Plains church, afte funeral services conducted by Rev. W F. Watson Mrs. J. H. Separk am Mrs. A. A. McLean chaperoned a crowi of young people who went on a pleas ure trip to All Healing yesterday after noon, leaving about 5.30 o'clock. 1 dainty lunch was spread at the spring and the return trip was made late li the evening. The party was made u] as follows: Misses Bess and Clara Hoi land, Nell Smyre, Mabel Craig, Lotti Blake, Bessie Norris,- of Cateeche, S C.; Lolo Gary, of Richmond, Va.; Mo ena Moss, of Orangeburg, S. C.; Grac Brown, of Concord: Ethel Gray, Jessi Shelton; Messrs. J. H. Separk, A. 1 Clifton, of Waco, Tex.; Lamar Pegram Ed Tuttle, P. R. Falls, Fred Smyre, E M. Jones, C. A. Johnson, J. Lande Gray, J. Heath Blake Mr. A. T Clifton tells us that he is promoting j 10,000 spindle mill at Waco, Tex., an< that when built it will burn oil in it furnaces, as do the other mills and als< many railroads of that state. The pric of coal is from $4.10 to $4.60 per ton. A1 the oil contracts you want, says Mi Clifton, may be made for 5 cents a bar rel and the freight. Three barrels o oil equal a ton of coal in steam-produc ing capacity, so that the saving in th cost of fuel is very greatly in favor o oil. Besides this saving there is als' a saving in labor as no fireman is need ed either on the locomotives or in th engine rooms where oil is used. Hoy long before oil is used in Gaston mill and on our railroads? Mayor J. N Roberts, of McAdenville, was a pleas ant caller at The Gazette office Wed nesday. A It OA ST FOR KOOSKVKLT. I CongreMMmnn McDermott Snyn l'ren Ident Im Ynln mid Loud. Representative Allan L. McDermott upon his return to Jersey City yester day, says the New York Herald, gav out an interview in which he attacke< President Roosevelt, saying, amoni other things: "The one fact that has become al impressive upon a resident of Wash ington is that this land of the free am the home of the brave has a presiden Yvho is absorbed by a desire for noto riety. He has been photographed whil walking, running on horseback, in civi and military costume, in tall, short am slouch hats, with his hands up, down fnhlml u'itVi Viica mnnth ctom rp laxed, open, half open and shut?ii short, in all attitudes and moods. The advent of Roosevelt was a grea thing for Washington photographers His like was never seen in the Whit House, where he yells, bawls and im presses the average visitor with thi idea that the charge up San Juan Hil is yet fiercely progressing. It is safe ti say that if Mr. Roosevelt had won thi civil war lie positively would have beei unendurahle. The truth is that ou president is a gentleman of very limite< mental capacity, fond of skyrockets an< attuned to the symphony of a bras; band. Considering the condition thei and now to be found in tne metropolii history will truthfully record that whei he was called to Washington New Yorl lost an officer peculiarly fitted to act ai one of its police board." In referring to the Philippine ques Hon Mr. McDermott says: "Volume! of the Congressional Record have beei f required to print the speeches made on i the Philippines question and the press ident has announced that everything is i i satisfactory over tnere. In fact, we are - assured by that high authority that ? there is not a trace of inflammation i 1 left in our Asiatic vermiform appendix. - As a truth, the matter is not settled i e and never will be until the colonial pol- ' - icy upon which we have entered is for2 ever abandoned." < Of Pnhnn situation he says: < J "The Cuban question is an exhibit of i . the power of the protected interests of i - this country. Against their greed noth- I t ing can prevail except a revolution at . the ballot box. National honor, promf ises solemnly made, the delegates of i r common humanity?these are nothing 3 when opposed by the protected gentle- i - men who are expected to foot the bills 1 i of the next campaign. PETTICOAT POLITICIANS. 3 Hon' Wive* of Senator* Influence 1 Legislation. Barring only Mrs. Roosevelt and the r women of the cabinet, the wives of r United States senators are the most - conspicuous leaders of official fashion in s Washington. Those of them who v choose to be such are personages of e high importance, and their favor and 1 recognition are eagerly sought. in " many instances their husbands are e very rich men and wealth, with the op' portunity for entertaining which it 0 gives, adds substantially to their proms inence. r Although the days of lobbying, recog" nlzed as such, are over at the national Capitol, the dinner invitation, and the 3 drawing room influence are still potent r as of yore. No legitimate successor of Sam Ward gives gorgeous entertain' ments for the purpose of modifying legn islation, but ine fate of many a bill be1 fore congress is determined by petti^ coat persuasion. It is by no means in3 tended to imply that senators' wives ' are actively engaged in the business of " wire pulling, but, through social and othey channels, they have large control. Recently a regulation was laid down n by Mrs. John Hay to the effect that the r wives of senators would in future be y expected to make the first call upon n the wives of ambassadors arriving in Washington, though hitherto this has not been required. Wives of ministers d plenipotentiary must call first as here'? tofore. No requirement was made in regard to the wives of representatives ' in congress, simply because they are e not supposed to be in the same set " with the wives of high diplomatic pers sonages. 0 Nothing could better illustrate the soe cial distinction which exists in Washe ineton between the senate and the house. There are a few representatives " who are persons of social prominence, * but the great majority are utterly un^ known to the fashionable life of the 8 capital. With senators, however, it is e different, and their wives, if they so choose, are personages. Their acquaintonce is eagerly desired and people flock s to their weekly receptions. 3 One of the most fashionable women in * Washington is the wife of the senior r senator from Michigan, Mrs. Jurrwes * McMillan, who has always taken a * conspicuous parts in social gayeties. Since the senator first took his seat in " the upper house, in 1889, the McMillan " house on Vermont avenue has been fa^ mous for its charming nospitalities. s Mrs. McMillan enjoys the enviable rep1 utation of being one of Washington's P most popular hostesses, and,an invita" tion to one of her little dinners is a e thing greatly to oe desired. ' Mrs. Charles W. Falrbank, wife of " the Indiana senator, has attained spece ial distinction as the president of the e Society of Daughters of the Revolution. * She is one of the most popular women '? in official circles, and her palatial home ' on the corner of Massachusetts avenue r and 19th street is one of the most pleas* ant houses in Washington to visit. 1 The Fairbanks hail from Indianapolis. 3 Mrs. Stephen Benton Elkins, a daughs ter of ex-Senator Davis of West Vir0 ginia, is the wife of one of the most e popular men In the upper nouse. one ' Is one of the most fashionable women ' in Washington, where she has lived for " many years, and entertains magnifl' cently, being noted for her hospitality, * both at her home on K street and at e Elkins, W. Va. Her husband has been f a senator since 1894, having previously 0 occupied the position of secretary of " war under President Harrison, while e before that he was a member of the v' lower house for two terms. s Mrs. Joseph Benson Eoraker is a no' tably handsome and distinguished look" ing woman. The wife of the senior " senator from Ohio, she enjoys an important and influential position in Washington, and her big yellow house on the corner of 16th and P streets is the centre of social attraction. Her " daughters are very popular in society here. The wife of Senator Julius C. Bur rows, of Michigan, is another notable e Washington hostess. Though her hus3 band was only elected to tne senate in ? 1895, he had previously served for a number of years in the house of rep1 resentatives, and so she is looked upon - as quite an "old Washingtonian," as 3 the phrase is, in this town of kaliedot scopic changes. The Burrows come - from Kalamazoo and they occupy a o i-ofv hnniienmp house at 1.404 Massa 1 chusetts avenue. 3 Mrs. Joseph C. S. Blackburn Is the i, bride of the senate, having been mar ried to the Kentucky senator only a i few months ago. She was a very attractive young widow at the time of her t marriage and had been for several t. years a resident of Washington. Oddly e enough, her first husband also was - named Blackburn, though, so far as e she knows, he was not related in any 1 way to her present husband. The a Washington home of the Blackburns b is at 2,013 Hillyer Place. i The wife of the junior senator from r Idaho, Mrs. Fred T.Dubois, is a charm3 ing young woman with a hobby. She 3 is an enthusiast in kindergarten work, s having taken up the study before her i marriage. Mrs. Dubois has apartments s at the Loudoun, and amid her manifold i social duties she has found time to give < a series of elaborate entertainments for 9 kindergarten teachers. Another popular senator's wife is - Mrs. George Turner, who comes from s Spokane, Wash. She has been in Washi ington since 1S97, when her husband took his seat in the upper house, and has made many warm friends and admirers. They occupy apartments at the Portland. Mrs. Thomas M. Patterson is the latest addition to the senatorial set. She is the wife of the junior senator from Colorado, and she and her husband have apartments at the Shoreham. Mrs. Patterson is much interested in charitable affairs and a special hobby of hers is the beautifying of school ? ~ ao *-> n nrliiootinn I uuiua ao a incaup ui cuuvuviwn, v> many years she has been well known in Denver as an earnest helper In practical philanthropic work. These are only a few of the more conspicuous women In the senatorial set ?a social circle which may be regarded ns a set within a set in Washington society.?Washington Letter. Egyptian Cotton.?Egyptian cotton Is being introduced in Texas and promises to revolutionize the cotton industry in the south," Mr. C. S. Austin, of San Antonio, Tex., remarked last night at the Raleigh. "It is much more desirable than the cotton raised in the United States now and is even better than the sea Island cotton. The Egyptian cotton has much longer fiber than other cottons and its seed can be removed so easily that it is not necessary to cut up the cotton in ginning it. A series of saws which work between rods is used in ginning ordinary cotton and considerable power is required to tear it loose from the seeds. The Egyptian cotton can be separated from its seed by a series of rollers, wnich do not cut the cotton and destroy the length of its fiber. The department of agriculture has distributed the new cotton throughout the south and it will soon be known whether the Egyptian product will flourish in all the districts devoted to the raising of cotton."?
