SINS OF THE TONGUE. REV. DR. TALMAGE PLEADS FOR HCN EST WORDS AND DEEDS. He Speaks of Agrtcaltura?. LmerciaI MIechanical and Eccle&siatic't Lt I Plain Plea For Tenitug tao Irnth--The marquerade Ball. Dr. Talmage in this discourse e a i I classification of the vices ut spee't and pleads for honesty in all that said and done. His text is Acts v. 1-l'. 'A ertau man named Ananias with Sapphira, his wite. sold a possession, etc A well matched pair, alie in ambition and in fNlsehood. Ananias and Sappenra. They wanted a reputation for great benen cence. and they sold ani their property, pre tending to put the entire proceeds in the charity fund while they put much of it in their own pocket. There was no necessity that they give all their property away, but they wanted the reputation of so doing. An anias first lied about it and dropped down dead. Then Sapphira lied about it. and she dropped down dead. The two fatalities a warning to all ages of the dangers of sacrific ing the truth. There are thousands of ways of telling a lie. A man's whole life may be a falsehood, and yet never with his lips may he falsify I once. There is a way of uttering falsehood by look, by manner, as well as by lip. There. are persons who are guilty of dishonesty of speech and then afterward Ea; matVbe calling it a white lie when no ie is that eo or. The whitest lie ever told was as black as perdition. There are those so given to dishonesty of speech that they do not know when they are lying. With some it is an acquired sin, and with others it is a natural "infirmity. There are those whom you will recognize as born liars. Their whole life. from cradle to grave, is filled up with vice of speech. Misrepresentation and prevari cation are as natural to them as the infantile diseases and are a sort of moral croup or Spiritual scarlatina. Then there are those who in after life have opportunities of developing this evil, and they go from deception to deception. and from class to class, until they are rega larly graduated liars. At times tne air in our cities is filled with falsehood, and ies cluster around the mechanic's hammer. blossom on the merchant's yardstick and sometimes sit in the doors of churches. They are called by some fabrication and they are called by some fiction. You might call them subterfuge, or deceit, or romance, or fable, or misrepresentation. or delusion, but as I know nothing to be gained by covering up a God defying sin with a lexicographer's blanket, I shall call them in plainest vernac ular, lies. They may be divided into agri cultural, commercial, mechanical, social and ecclesiastical. First of all, I speak of agricultural false hoods. There is something in the presence of natural objects that has a tendency to make one pure. The trees never issue false stock. The wheatfields are always honest. * Rye and oats never move out in the night, not paying for the place they occupy Corn shocks never make false assignment. Moun tain brooks are always current. The gold of the wheatfields is never counterfeit. Dat while the tendency of agricultural life is to make one honest, honesty is not the charac teristic of all who come to the city markets from the country districts. Yr a hear the creaking of the dishonest farm wagon in almost every street of our great cities-a farm wagon in which there is not one honest .poke, or one truthful rivet, from tongue to tailboard. Again and again has domestic economy in our great cities foundered on the farmer's firkin. Wfien New York and Washington sit down and weep over their sins, let Westchester county and the neigh borhoods around this capital sit down and weep over theirs. The tendency in all rural districts is to . suppose that sins and trangressions cluster in our great cities, but citizens and mer chants long ago learned that it is not safe to calculate from the character of the apples on the top of the farmer's barrel what is the character of the apples all the way d'own toward the bottom. MIany of our citizens and merchants have learned that it is always safe to see the farmer measure the barrel <Q beets. Milk cans are not always honest. There are those who in country life seem to think they have a right to overreach grain dealers and merchants of all styles. They think it is more honorable to raise corn than to deal in corn. The producer sometimes prac tically says to the merchant, "You get yonr money easily anyhow." Does he get it easily? -While the farmer sleeps-and he may go to sleep conscious of the fact that his corn and rye are all the time progressing and adding to his fortune or his livelihood the merchant tries to sleep, while conscious ,of the fact that at that moment the ship may be driving on the rock or a wave sweeping over the hurricane deck spoiling his goods, or the speculators may be plotting monetary revolution, or the burglars may be at that moment at his money bmfe, or the fire resy have kindled on the very 'block where his store stands. -Easy, is it? Let those who get their liv ing in the quiet farm and barn take the place of one of our cliy merchants and see whe ther it is so easy. It is hard enough to have the hands blistered with outdoor work, but it is harder with mental anxieties to have the brain consumed. God help the mnerchants. And do not let those wio live in country life come ;to the conclunion that all the dis honesties oelcng to-city life. I pass on to cons'.der commercial lies. There are those who t.pologize for de riations from the right and f r practical deception by saying it is commercial custom. In other words, a lie by muliplication becomes a vir ture. There are largs fortunes gathered in which there is not one drop of the sweat of unrequited toil, and not one spark of bad temper flashes from the bronze bracket, and there is not one drop of needlewoman's heart's blood on the crimson plush, while there are other fortunes about which it may be said that on every doorknob and on every figure of the carpet and on every wall there is the mark of dishonor. What if the hand wrung by toil and blistered until the skin comes off should be placed on the exquisite wall paper, leaving its mark of blood-four fingers and a thumb? Or if in the night the man should be aroused from his slumber again and again by his own conscience, get ting himself up on elbo and crying out into the darkness, "Who is there?" There are large fortunes upon which God's favor comes down, and it is just as honest and just as Christian to be af:!uent as it is to be poor. In many a house there is a bless ing on every pictured wall and on every scroll and on every traceried window, and the joy that fiashes in the lights and that showers in the music and that dances in the quick feet of the children pattering through the hall has in it the favor of God and the approval of man. And there are thousands and ten of thousands of merchants who, from the first day they sold a yard of cloth or firkin of butter. have maintained their in tegrity. They were born honest, they wiii live honest and they will die honest. Uuat you and I know that there are in commercial life those who are guilty of great dishonesties of speech. A merchant says, -'I am selling these goods at less than cost." is he g atting for those good~s a price inferior to that which he paid for them? Then he has spoken the truth. Is he getting more? Then he lies. A merchant says, "I pai-i$25 for this article." Is that the price he paid for it? All right. But suppose he paid for it $2~3 instead of %?' Then he lies. But there are just as many falsehoods be fore the counter as there are behind the coun ter. A customer comes in and asks, "How much is this article?" "It is $5." "I can get that for $4 somewhere else." Can he get it for $4 somewhere else or did he say that just for the purpose of getting it cheap by depreciating the value of the goods? If so, he lied. There are just as many false hoods before the counter as there are be nind the counter. A man unrolls upon the counter- a bale of handkerchiefs. The customer says, "Are these all silk?" "Yes." "No coton in them." Are those handkerchiefs l lk Then the merchant Uold the truth. Is there any cotton in them? Then he lied .olore over, he defrauds himself, for thisctoe coming in will after awhile find out that. he has been defrauded, and the next tim~'e he comes to town and goes shopping he wil look up at that sign and say, "-No, wo'n go there; that's the plac'i where I got thos handkerchiefs."

They do not come nt:l We inesday. ih.ey sty they will come n'. wdnesday. They do not come un til Saturday. They say they will have the "_ in ten days. They do not get it done before d i. And when a man becom's irritated and will act itan it any longer then they ,o and work for him a day or two and keep the job along, and then some one else gets irritate I and ortraged. and they go and work for that hman and get hin pacitied and then they co somewhere else. I beli:eve they call that -nursing the job. Ah, my friends, how much dishonor such men wouul rave their souls if they would promise to do only that which they know trey can do. "Oh," they say. "-it's of no importance. Everybody expects to be de ceived and disappointed." There is a voice of thunder sounding among the -aws and the hammers and the shears. sying. -All liars shall have their place in the lake that burns with fire and b'rimstone." 1 pa-s on :o speak of social lies. How much of society is insincere-' You hardly anew what to telieve. Tley sead their re girds. You do not exactly know whether it is an esression of the heart or an external civiity. They ask yog to comel to their house. You hard;; know whether they really want you to come, We are :1I accus toiid to take a discount off what we hear. Not at home" very often means too lazy to dress. I was reading of a lady who said zhe bad told her last fashionale lie. There was a knock at her door. and she sent word down, "Not at home." That night her hus band said to her. 'Mrs. So-and-so is dead." Is it possible:" she said. "Ye=, and she died in great anguish of mind. She wanted to see you so very mtuch: she had something very important to disclose to you in her last. hour, and the sent. three times today. bit1 found you absent eve-y time." Then this woman bethought herself that she had had a bargain with her neighbor that when the ions protracted sickness was about to come to an end she would appear at her bedside an I take the secret that was to be diselosed. And she bad said she was --iot at home." Social life is s:ruck through with insin cerity. They apologize for the fact that the furnace is out; they have not had any fire in it all winter They apologize for the fare on their table: they never live any better. They decry their most luxuriant entertainment to win a shower of approval from you. They point at a picture on the wall as a work of one of the old masters. They say it is an heirloom in the fa:mily. It hung on the wall of a castle. A duke gave it to their grand father. People that will lie about nothing ee will lie about a picture. COa small in come we want the world to believe we are aiiuent, and society today is struck through with cheat and counterfeit and sham. llow few people are natural. Frigidity sails around, iceberg grinding against iceberg. You mttst not laugh outright. That is vul gar. You must smile. You must not dash quickly across the room. That is vulgar. You must glide. Much of society is a round1 of bows and grins and grimaces and oh's and ah's and he, he. hes and simperings and namby pambyism, a whole world of which is not worth one good honest round' of laughter. From such a hollow scene the tortured guest retires at the close of the eve ning, assuring the host that he has enjoyed hiself. Society is become so contorted and' deformed in th'is respect that a mountain cabin where the rustics gather at a quilting or an apple paring has in it more good cheer than all the frescoed refrigerators of the metroolis. I pass on to speak of ecclesiastical lies, those which are told for the advancement or retarding of a church or se:t, It is hardly worth yonr while to ask an extreme Calvin ist what an Arminian believes. He will tell you that an Arminian believes that man can save himself. An Ar iinian believes no such thing. It 2s hardly worth your while to ask an ex treme Arminian what a Calvinist believes. He will tell you that a Cahinist believes that God made some men just to damn them. A Calvinist believes no such thing. It is hardly worth your while to ask a Pedc Baptist what a Baptist believes. He will tell you a Baptist believes that i.nmersion is necessary for salvation. A Baptist does not believe any such thing. It is hardly worth your while to ask a man who very much hates Presbyterians what a Presbyterian be lieves. He will tell you that a Presbyterian believas that there are infants in hell a span Long, and that very phraseology has come down from generation to generation in the hristian church. There never was a Pres byterian who believed that. -oh,'' you ay, ':1 heard some Presbyterian minister 2 ears ago say so.'' You did rnot. There aever was a man who believed. that. Thet'e aever will be a man who will believe that. And yet from boyhood I have heart that particular slander against a Christian church roing down th rough the community. Then, how often it is that there are mis representation s on the part of individual :hurches ia regard to other c-hurches, es ecially if a church come to great prosperi y. As long as a church is in poverty, and .singing is poor, and all the surroundings tedreiadthe congregation are so tardly bestead in life that their passtor goes yith elbows outt, Lhen there will always be 2ristan people in chutrches who say, -'What pity: what a pity:" iut let the d-1y of roserity come to a Christian churcih and et the suele he triump'h and, let there be rast assemablages, and then there will be eu insesof the gospel criticaul and de uncatory and full of misrepresentation and hlstca. on, giving the ioression to the 't-de world that they do not like the corn >ecu" li't 's not ground in their mill. h ny friends, let us in all departments of life tind baca from deception. Uut 'somei one says. --The deception that I >ractice is so small that it dloesn't amount to nythng. A h, my'. friends, it does amount o"a rea de.

Patton, of Columbia, a Rcoresentative in the Lecislature from Richland County, hasa bill now bWer the LEislature which he thinks will pass at the next session. When asked by a Reporter of the Columbia Reit r- i he intended to press his bill in the same shape it was intro duced, Mr. Patton said: "I should much prefer to do that. Before I introluced it. 1 tried almost every possible combination, and the one that I inally settled on is, unon the whole, the best and fairest. But there is another arrangement that I have made that I should be willing to have substituted. I devised this to answer objections of a number of members who voted against the original plan, and who have declared that with these changes they are now ready to vote and work for the ieas ure. I will give you this arrangement is ^ minute or tawo. Ia .he m-eantimne, let me scy that either one will suit the people of Richland. What we want is to keep our county from bei.g in two ditferent districts, and to be in one district of reasonable s'ze ard composd of idjacent terrniory. Now, here is the bill es it stands on the house caler:dr: 'P e D District: Chesterfi-'ld. I Marlboro. Mario, Darliegton, Flor ence, Horry. Sant e District: Georgetown. Wil- I liamsburg, Charleston and Berkeley. '"Edisto District: Orangeburg, Barn well, Bamberg, Hampton, Beaufort, Colleton, Dorchester "Saluda District: Aiken, Eige field, Lexicaton, Saluda, Newberry, Law rens. Greenwood. "Kiowee District: Abbeville. An derson, Oconee, Pickens Greenville. Catawba District: Spartanburg. Uniou, Cherokee, York, Chester, Lancaster. "Wateree District: Richland. Fair fit-ld, Kershaw, Samter, Ciarendon. Now the other arrangermlent which, as I have just said, I should be wil ling as a representative of lchland, to have substituted, is this: Pee Dee District: Marlboro, MIrion, Horry, Georgetown, Williams':ur,;, Florence. Clarendon. SanteeDisticet: Brkeley, Charles ton, Dorchester, Col'eton, Beaufort. Edisto District: Lexington, Aiken, Orangeburg, B rnwell, Bamburg, Ham ptcn. Saluda District: Eigefield, Saluca, Newberry, Laurens, Greens ood, Abbe vitl. Kiowee District: Anderson, Oco nee, Pickens. Greenviile, Spartanburg. Catawba District: Cnerokee, Union, York, Ch ester, L mnoaster, Chester field. Wateree District: Fairfield, Rich land, Kershaw, Sumter, Darling ton. "Now, while, as I have just said, I prefer nry criginal plan, it must be confessed that in some respects the latter is an improvement, and both are a thousand times better than the present absur-d, unjust and grotesque districts. By the way. let me show you so.niething that I accidentally stumbled upon this summer. Just glance cver that." "That" proved to be a volume of the statutes of South Carolina con taining the acts of 1841, among which was an act to divtde the state into seven congressional districts. Curious' ly enough, the districts established by this act were almost exactly coimci dent with those proposed by Mr. Pat ton. "Did yoa have this act before you when you prettosed yo*ur bill?" was asked. '"No'" replied Mr. Patton. "As I have just said. I only found that act a short time ago. The very easy ex planation of the czincidence is that then as no w, under our new constitu iin gerrymandering was not neces sary. The districts were established simply with the vie w of securing, as my bill proposes to secure, equahity of reprsentation, with districts cor posed of contenious territory and hemogereous population. As we were both aiming at the same result, and the problem not a ditlicult oro', we naturally reached about the same :onciusion. R--aciied in Midoca'n.

Mrs Gecrge a ccomtanied him in his round of speeches T ursday night and returned with hiui to his hotel. Those who mlet him iemaraed that he dii not look like the hale old man who had et: red the campaign a few weeks be"ore. A haggard and pinc'ed face: a roving eye, with a wistful, tired look, was what they said. But the nerves were steady, the voice calm, b't as he listened to mie reports of the Tammany celebration, where Croker, his par.ieular mark of attsck, rad been jeered, a look of satisfaction crept over his tired face and expressions of grat:ication Asoaped him. Mr. George arrive.d at the hotel about 1 o'clcck F i ymo ing. He had just come from several large mass Lreeun s in ,he corough of Q.teens and Brooalyn. The wor k of the night seemeu to have told on him. He complained of being tired, bit his friends and relatives who a;aited vim ti ought it only the nat ural fatigue that foliowvs -uca hard cipaieri work as :Mr. Gorge has _een doing . Not long after reaching the hotel he reired. Mrs. George awaited him in room 22 of the hotel. It was about 3 S o'eicek when Mrs. George was awikened. She found Mr. George sitting in an arm chair. "I am not feeling quite ccamforta bie," saia Mr. George to his wife. "Won't you go back to bed?" ir. quir:d Mrs. G-orge anxiously. --I will sit hers awhile," was the answer. Mrs. George at once grew anxious as to her husband's condition. Mr. George gradualiy grew incoherent and lapsed into semi unconsciousness. Mrs. Gerg' was nor thoroughly alarmed and ca'.kd her son, Henry George, Jr.. from an adjoining room. Frank Stevens was 1-kJ c lied in. A call was sent t- Dr. Kelly, Mr. George', family ph. sician, and he came without delay. Mr. George was by this time unconscious. Efforts to revive him failed. Without sign of recognition to thcs3 around him he passed peacefully away at 4:45 o'clock. Mrs. George was prostrated and was cared for by the friends of the family at the hotel. Dr. Keliy said that he saw Mr. George a few days ago and that he was then in better condition than he had been at the opening of the campaign. When asked as to whether he had advised Mr. Ge->rge to enter the canvass, Dr. Kelly repied ava sively: "I don't thi:>k any power in Chris tendom eculd have prevented Henry George from sacrificing himself in tbe cause on which he was enlisted, and I knew him well." In the death certificate Dr. Kelly said: "I hereby certify that I attend ed the deceased from September 18S1, to October 1847; that I last saw bim alive on the 29J;h of October, 1897, at 5 o'clock in the mo'ning, and that to the best of my knowledge and belief the cr use of his death is hereunder written: aolx crba) "'hief cause, aolx crba) contribut~ing cause, asphiyxia; dura tion of disease, one-half hour.' The Rev. E:lward McG-lynn reach ed the Urcion Square hotel shortly be fore 11 o'clock. The dispatch which summoned him merely announced that a "dear friend" was dead, but bearing in mind his own premonitions h~ Henry George had con ded to h im he conc'uded rightly that his great asscciate in the single tax battle of other yeaLrs had expired. When he looked uponi the dead face of his friend, ne burst into tears. The scene was a distressing one. Afterward Dr-. Mc Glynn said: "enry George died as Abraham Lincoln die-d. Lincoln was assassi nated just after his great work of sav ing the Union was consummated. It was said that he was mercifully spar ed the pesty annoyances and bicker ings of the reconstruction period. Henry George was struck down by fate in the z-onithi of his powers. Bat the great work that he inaugurated pher,. it will be long before his like cil b seen again.

J. T. Burdine, a Baptist preacher living in Pickens County last Thursday while in a drunken frenzy, shot and killed his wife and then chot himself, it is supposed fatally. It appears that he has been on a spree for some days. Thursday, without warning, he drew his revolver and shot his wife through the brain, almost instantly killing her. Somewhat sobered by the deed, and realizing his crime, he placed the mnzzle of the pistol to his own head and fired, falling by the sid'e of his dead wif e. At last accounts he was living, but unconscious. The weapon used was was 38 calibre Smith & Wes son pistol. The cook was the only witness of the tragedy. The shooting attracted the attention of members of the family and the alarm was given and neighbors collected. The excite ment and indignationof the community was intense, and the belief that Bur dice would die saved him f rom lynch ing. Mrs. Burndine is a sister of Ma j r S:.ewart, clerk of Pickens county court, a family of the h ighest respec tabiliy. Mr. Burdine has ab~vays had the respect of the commrunlity in which he livea. Un~fortunately, he became a vicumt to the drink ,:ait. When sober he was a kind affectionate ma2 and well liked. The killing was a. or near Pumpria Town, about ten miles froan Pickens Court House. From the feeling of the people of Pickens, if Burdine recovers from his woundi, i~t will go hard with him. Biea~ oheck to Iasee:s. Ia a recent lecture Professor Wil mner Stone of Philadelphia, cilted many facts to show that birds are rature's great check otn the excess of insects, and that they keep the balance be tween plant and insect life. Ten thou saud caterpillars, it has been estimated, could destroy every blade of grass on an acre of cultivated ground. In thir tv days from the time it is hatched an ordinary caterpillar increases 10,000 timzes in bulk, and the food it lives and grows on is vegetable. The insect population of a single cherry tree in fested with aphides was calculated by a prominent entomolo2 ist at no less than 12,000,000 !The bird population of cultivated country districts has been estimated ai from 700 to 1,000 per square mile. -This is small corm pared with the number of insects, ye: as ech bird consumes hundreds of in sects every day, the latter are prevemted from becoming the scorge they would be but for their feathered. enemies. .

I -Spfe al: Tib news that comts to President Childs. of the State Azricultural and Mechan ical Society, about the interest of the people in next week's fair. is of a very satisfactory character. The namb&: of exhibits. in ali the different depart ments, porises to be uausually iar e. antd t e competition for the pri zs un usually sharp. The wide-spread in terest of the people of the State will show itself in every feature. The success Of the military encamp ment. sham battle at-d review is so well assured that the projectors are more than ever pleased that they de termined to give it place and promi nence. There are now 14 companias of infantry and one company of cav airy enlisted for the occasicn-enouzh to make a regiment of "regular" size. Lieutenant S:o'es, U. S. A., has been detailed for duty during the encamp ment, and he will beforehand give his attention to the location and arrange ment'of the camp. The field for the sham battle has been selected. It will be a short dis:aace northwest of the fair rounds proper so se to avoid any possibility of danger and also of alarm ing the horses which, in unusual num bers, will cccupy the Society's stables. The soldiers may denend upon a time of pleasure and profit. The military feature of the fair will "take" im mensely. The citzens' committee will see that the downtown features will be varied and attrac:iv3 throughout. When the people leave the fair grounds they will have much, elsewhere, to afford them pleasure. Columbia means to do her part. The mausgement of the Agriculta ral Society have offered half-rates of admittance to tb" students of the dif ferent colleges. Already it is certain that several of these will be represent Ed by their students in a body-Wof ford, Furman, Erskine, Newberry. Patrick Military Institute, Due West Female College, Greenville Female College, Converse College. Tne stu dents of the several State colleges have already been invited, and each of these institutions will be here in the person of a goodly number of students. This gathering of the young men and wo men who are enjoying the advantages of our different schools of higher edu cation promises to be of especial inter est. During the fair it is usual for vari ous State asscciations to hold meetings in this city. This year there are a number of them to do so. There will be the meeting of super visors to organ'ze for the purpose of getting good roads. Then there will be a meeting of the general commit tee of the survivors to perfect arrange ments for erecting a monument to the women of the State who aided the sol diers so nobly during the war. The Daughters of the American Revolu tion are also to hold a convention. Mr. Wilborn, as president of the Farmers Alliance, has called a meet ing of cotton growers to take same steps, if pcssible, to reduce the acre age. Besides these, the Agricultural S ciety is arranging for discussion -of topics of interest to farmers especially, though all of the speakers have not yet been secured. According to the programme, on Tuesday evenin~g, some one familiar with the subj et will speak on "The private garaen, orchard and vineyard," after which there will be a general discussion of the subj ct and an experience meeting. On Wednesday there will be an ad dress by Prof. Holmes, of Chapel Hilt, N. C., on the subject: "The Public Roa-i Prol13lmi in the South." This lecture will be illustrated by magic lante'-n views showing- roads and how the w-ork is done in E-urope and th% country. Gen. Roy Sione, director of the of fice of road irnquiry, United States de 9artment of agricultural promised to be here. 02 the same day the cotto: grow Iers will have their convention. The arrangements for securing ac Icommodations for visitors are most Iexcelle'it. Already a large number of private houses have been listed-these, of course, in addition to the regular hotels and boarding houses. Colum bia will be full, but every visitor will be comfortable. THE FARMERS TO MEET. cot. T. WV. Halloway's Institute suggestion Adopted. Among the many events of the comn ing fair week will be the State road congress which has already been called and will unquestionably oe very largely attended. Esides this and the cotton growers' convention, Col. Holloway's idea of having a kind of farmers' institute and'exper:ence meet iog on several nighits of the weekr, has been adopted. The following an nouocement in regard to these events svas yesterday made from the State fair society' headquairters. 'There is to be a rarnd gatherinrof the farmers of tne St ate in Columbia on W-edn~esd~l night cf fair week to consider ma ny matters of importance.

Join Butler, the desperado, wh< shot and killed officer Wolfe of th! pcoic? force of this city, was arrestet last \Vedrasdav night near Denmari and brought to this city Thursday mnrning by his captor. Captain Johr A. Walker, chief of Police of Den mark, and lodged in jail. As soon a! Butler was safe in j tit he freely ad mitted his identity and told all aboui the shooting. Butler was also identi fled by officer Joseoh Lightfoot, wh< was with officer Wolfe when he re ceived his death wound at the hand: Butler. The murderer says officet L'.tfcot shot him twice, once in thE arm and once in the side. He corrob orated this statement by exhibiting the wounds. The ball that made the wound in the side can be felt just un der the thick skin of the desperado. Ever since the shooting Butler says he has been hiding cut, having beer taken care of b,- parties whose names he refuses to div ilge. For severa; days prior to his capture he was sleep ing in a cotton house on a plantatior near Denmark, and his capture was effected by the cotton house being surrounded by a posse headed by Cap tain Walker. It seems that Butler's whereabouts was communicated tc Captain Walker by a colored man, A few nights before the capture, Butler hod broken in a house and stolen a gun, but he had no amunition, and when arrested he could not use the weapon, which he undoubtedly would have done had it been. loaded, as he fought desperately with a piece of scantling when the officers entered the gin house to secure him. Butler also told the sheriff and others here where the pistol he took from officer B.zard and which he used when he shot offi cer Wolfe could be found. Captain Walker and his prisoner arrived on the train goin: to Columbia Thursday morning and ..as met at the depot by Chief of Police Fischer and escorted to the jail. The feeling against the murderer ran very high, and there were threats of lynching. All it needed was for some one to assume leadership in tne matte. and Butler would have been swung in open day light and the county saved the cost of the trial and hanging of the red-hand ed murderer. Sheriff Dukes to be on the safe side after communicating with the Governor carried his prisoner to Columbia and lodged him in j il for safe keeping until court meets in Jan uary, when he will be tried, convicted at d executed in short order, as the crime for which he has to answer ii one of the most uncalled for murders that has ever taken place in this coun ty. Butler is about twenty-five or thirty years of age. He is a desperate fellow, and would have given trouble had he been armed when arrested. The fact that Butler has made a full confession will simplify his trial very much, which would have been diffi cult had he not done so as the officers were under the impression that it was another man altogether.-Orangeburg Times and Democrat. ALL THE WAY FROM CHICAGO. A Little Girl Seven Years of Age Travels Alone. The Columbia Registersays.to Mrs. Adams. of that city, a bright little girl was brought Thursday afternoon. -She is but seven years old, but she has Imade the long journey from Chicago here unaccompanied by any one tc care for her. She came through with out mishap through the kindness and attention of the conductors and pas sengers. Thougn the little thing is so happy, behind the reason of her long p jurney is a sad story. Her name is IAlice Atkinson, and her parents live in Chicago. They are poor, but re spectable. Her father became desper ately ill and had to go to the hospital. Upon his work the family depended for support. The mother bravely went to work, having secured some kind of position in a hotel. She could not take proper care of her child under the circumstances, so she deter mmted to send her to her brother, Mr. Charles Wise of Bamberg. There was no other way to do it except to send her alone and put her in the care of the conductors. The mother's story evidently touched the heart of some railroad cifizial, for passes were pro vided for her through to her destina tion. With a little lunch and ne money, Alice started on her j urney. Sce did not suffer for food or any com fort. Conductors are kind hearted men, and they saw that she wanted for nothing. Passengers learning her story and being attracted by her vi vacity, gave her small sums of money, and when she got here she had left 67 cents of which she was very proud, and on the shortest acquaiutance she would sho w her treasurie. At the ad of one line the conduc~or wculd tura her over to the care of au cili~er <.f the connecting line and thus it was that she became thecharge of Conduc tor Brunson of the Southern railroaa at Asheville. Before arriving in Co lumibia Conductor Brunson was some what puzzled to kno r what to do with the little girl after he got there. He mentioned the fact to some ladies on board, among them being Mrs. Frank L idy, wife of the foreman of The Register oflice. She consented to take charge of her for the night and Con d-uctor Brunson promised to call for her Friday morning and send her on to Auzusta. From there she will be taken to Bamberg and her long trip ill have et ded. She is too young to realize the pitiful candti;n of hter pa rents and a:eais deLignted 7 :t she is going *"to b: south where a i't so cold." Site immediately became the pet of the whole household and all will regret to lose her. Fojr on- of her age shae is very precious.

THE SILVER FIGHT STILL ON. Senator Teller Thinks the Golditea Wfll Control the Republican Party. A letter bearing on political con tions generally, from Senator Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, has been re ceived by Wm. Wilhelm, representa tive of the Republican silver party 2t Pennsylvania. Among other thin Senator Teller says: ' I have never said I thought th was little hope of bimetallin. That is one of the many falsehoods of the gold press. I have said there is r Hope for it under the McKinley ads ministration, and I am confident that nothing will be done for the plain people of the country during this ad ministration. I have no interest in ,he fight between Tammany and the Republicans. I do not hope f George's election, althog.-h it wou1t please me greatly if he c ;aid succeed. The election of the Tammany candi date will not indicate that the Demo cratic party of the country is going to abandon silver. Tne Democratic p ty is committed to silver, and continue on that line, and the gold Democrats will go to the Republican party, and the influence of the gold Democrats will have the effect of so grading and debasing the party as make the old liberty-loving Republi cans leave it. I expect to see the S3 publicn party in the hands of the gold Republicans and the gold Demo crats, and under tbe domination and control of the worst element ev 1 known in American politics. "I do not care what your Pennsyl vania platform says about the per capita circulation. Governor Hastings and all the Republican leaders of your state understand that that platfor was made to get into office on, andf expect to see the influence of your state given and your senators and members of congress brought to batr on congress to retire the greenbe :ks and treasury notes and let the tnks and bankers of the country issue whatever paper money they think thd& country needs, and that issue will then be determined by the interests of the banks and bankers, and not in the interest of commerce or the people. '"The fight for silver is still on, and will be until we get a righteous m etary system, and we never will have this until w e get- open mints for gold and silver at a rate to be established by law. Cannot Be Hauled in Wagons. The Columoia Register says the State is not satisfied with the effective concession it secured from the rail-, roads in getting them to boycott the' o. p. shops and refuse their loose ship ments, but has come down on the wagons, and will hold-up and setze all wheeled vehicles drawn by horse, mule or other animals which cr~ liquor to and supply the o. p. compe tition. The governor takes the posi-1 tion that wagons and like vehicles are not common carriers in the legal sense of that phrase and cannot there fore transport liquor int this Stat under Judge Simonton's decision the railroads are allowed to do So the isteresting question has bean brough up no eas to whether or not awagtj is not as much of a common carrier as1 a steam ed vahicle. This knotty lega aI question will have to be cracked *w, thie courts and in its cracking mrah' litigation is likely to be brought about. In accordance with this ruling four wagons loaded with whiskey on their way from Augusta to Laurens havej been se'zed and the wagons and eon tents conficated to the State. Bry an in Ohio. William Jennings Bryan began a short campaigning tour in Ohio Wed nosday morning. He traveled in a private car. The first meeting was at Montpelier, wher e an audience of 5,000 persons from all parts of the county had assemblei. Mr. Bryan' questioned the hone9sty of the rote of Onio last year anid then took up the silver qaestion. He said the Repuibli can party promised last year to do what it could to get rid of the gold standard. He then reviewed the wcrk~ of the monetary commission which President McKinley sent to Eurore, and said its mission had failed Decause the mor ey-changers were opposed to ~i. Mr. Bryan attributed tbe im - roved financial ccnditions of the United States to the discovery of gold in Alaska and to the famine in India, which he said the Republicans were rejoicing over, even though the famine resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. Murder of MIners. 2 At Welhesbane, Pa., Thursday the rand jury returned a true bill against Sheriff Martin and his deputies for the Latimer shooting. The true bills included 19 for murder, one for each a-an killed, and one for the victims considered colleccively. Thirty-six true bils were found in the same way fr felonious wounding against the same defendants. The likelihood is that Sheriff Martin, and his deputies mil to be tried together.
