SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. One Hundred Save One. The South Carolina college celebrated commencement exercises for the ninety-ninth time this week, the college having been established in 1805. Thirty graduates received degrees Wednesday night in arts, sciences or in law. Going to the Fair. The cadet corps of the South Carolina Military academy will leave Charleston next Friday for St. Louis to spend one week at the World's Fair, j returning to Charleston on June 28 for the annual commencement. The arrangements are now being made for the welfare of the corps on their travels. They will go via Richmond, returning by the same route. Mobley Cowhides Evans. There was a cowhiding affair in Columbia yesterday morning. John G. Mobley and W. Boyd Evans were the participants. Mobley charged Evans with having circulated damaging re- . ports about his private life in connec- ; tion with a suit for alimony. He also ' accused Evans of having taken cer- ' tain papers in the case from the state house, and demanded their return. It was Mobley who made the attack, and Evans defended himself as best he , could. Both men were arrested and each was put under a bond of $1,000. ( State's Finances. 1 The state treasurer will in a few > days borrow about $300,000, or the rest of the money allowed by law to be borrowed in any one year. It is thought that there will not be much difficulty in making ends meet this < year as the tax money will begin to I come in just as the loan is exhausted. ! Despite this, however, the appropria- i tions are over $100,000 greater than last year and there are no government i claims of $90,000 to help the state out. 1 The mistake in the franchise law caused a big difference, which was evident- . ly not looked for by the legislature, and it is estimated that this knocked the state out of about $150,000. To Succeed Prof. Davis. Columbia special of June 8 to the Greenville News: The board of trustees of the South Carolina college today elected Prof. Gordon B. Moore to the chair of history and political science. Prof. Moore was most highly recommended and is regarded as a particularly strong man. He was for about twelve years a professor in Furman university, where he made a splendid reputation. The board yesterday elected Harry C. Davis, son of Jfroi. Uavis, mm lurmci v. the Columbia High school, an assistant professor of English. Mr. Davis for the past year has been at the Washington State university. Preparing for the Encampment. Columbia special of June 8 to the Greenville News: Active preparations are being made for the encampment, and this afternoon General Frost, Major Newham and P. I. Wells of the J street railway, went out to the camp , site to lay off the grounds and arrange for the encampment. The soldiers will I be here by next month, and by that r time General Frost hopes to have ev erything in readiness for them so that g there will be no delay in getting down to active military duty. It is proposed to bring an adequate supply of water from the creek and to have it ! pumped up in tanks holding 500 gal- j Ions each. A rifle range will be built i against a hill to the right of the camp { and the brush and weeds cleared out i for the tents, so that all the soldiers * will have to do when they arrive will i be to pitch their tents and get ready } to drill. 4 Wreck On the Southern.?South- I Vn in was wrecked lust Out- I side the city limits of Salisbury, N. C., shortly after midnight last Wednesday night, killing the engineer, Tyler Haynes. and the fireman, Jim Watkins. The locomotive and postal car were overturned, due to the fact that three cars, loaded with ice, were standing on the sidetrack, which the locomotive plunged into. These loaded cars were thrown up a 25-foot embankment by the force of the impact. The train was running about thirty-five miles an hour. Investigation disclosed the fact ( that the switch lock had been broken off, the switch turned and the light ( thrown away, the work of some fiend , with the deliberate purpose of wreck-* f ing the train. Railroad detectives are , looking for the perpetrator of the deed. ? Several years ago Senator Stewart of Nevada purchased a farm of about COO acres in Virginia, within a few miles of Washington. There he started a dairy, which he conducted on hygienic principles, and sold the milk in Washington. The enterprise was not a financial success and the senator switched off to stock raising. Senator Stewart was in search of health as well as pecuniary profit. He failed in securing the latter, but thinks he gained the | former. He has just sold the farm, which cost him $140,000. to Judge Yoemans of the Inter-State Commerce ( Commission, the price paid being $30.000. Senator Stewart's effort to fur- I nish pure milk to this city has directed , public attention to the matter with the " result that more rigid inspections are ( made.

During the past six months, in Fork county, there have been to my knowledge four separate cases where men desiring life Insurance have determined to look before leaping, and allowed agents of the various companies every facility for making a show down. The MUTUAL BENEFIT was a competitor In each of the contests, and each time Its policy was selected and PAID FOR. The amount of insurance Involved was |27,000. Further, there has never been a contest in this section, where all the companies were on an equal footing, (by this I * mean where the party who wanted insurance had entered into no "entangling alliances" with any agent or company) where the MUTUAL BENEFIT has entered strictly on its merits and has not delivered the goods! Dear Reader, do you imagine that it would be possible for the MUTUAL BENEFIT to win EVERY TIME if it was not "The Best Company and 8eld the Best Policy?" The contracts of all the companies are good, and are liberal, especially If not subjected to the try Ing ordeal of being compared with those of the MUTUAL BENEFIT. Test my claim. That's all I ask.
