The cotton ' >ods manufacturers enjoy protective ities of about 45 per cent. They 1 e satisfied with the rates fixed in ; ie senate bill, and prefer them to the ites in the Payne bill. The differlce is that the Payne rates are ad ilorem, while the Aldrich rates are >ecific. The cotton manufacturers ssert that the latter rates are simer and will lessen the friction that tey have with the custom experts, he textile manufacturers were well eased with their interviews with juthern senators, who, with two exsptions, assured them that they were sposed to stand by the existing :hedules as to cotton goods in the .riff bill submitted by the senate aance committee. The only South arolinians present were L. W. Park\ of Greenville, and J. C. Plunk, of herokee. Municipal Election.

Aiken, April 30.?The story of a peculiar lightning adventure comes to the city from the Edisto river section. Several days ago, a negro was ploughing in a field of Mr. B. F. Peoples, when a thunder storm came up suddenly. Before the ploughman realized it, the storm was upon him. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck the mule, and severely shocked the negro. The bolt, after passing through the mule, followed the ploughstock, and then into the body of the negro, rendering him unconscious for more than three hours. When he was found, he was in a comatose condition, and all hope for his , recovery had been given up, when he began to show signs that he was still in the land of the living. He initiated his recovery by pouring forth a lurid stream of epithets at his mule, who, he said, had kicked him, without even "backing his ears" by way of warning. The bolt had struck him on the head, crossed around his body, traveled -down his right leg, coming out of the big toe of the right foot. The negro has about recovered from bis injuries. Varn's Rheumatic Remedy. This is the only remedy ever known to cure rheumatism, backache, kidney and bladder trouble. Sold by all druggists and G. A. Ducker, Bamberg, S. C., price $1.00 a bottle. Read the following testimonial : Branchville, S. C., Jan. 12, 1908. Mr. A. G. Varn, St. George, S. C. Dear Sir: I have suffered with articular /rheumatism for the past ten years and have tried every spring in the whole country for it and got no relief. I have tried nearly every drug the medical profession has gotten out for the treatment of rheumatism with the same result. I was induced to take a bottle of your remedy, and one bottle cured me entirely and I am too glad to be able to heartily recommend it to any one suffering with any form of the disease. Very respectfully yours, L. J. MANN, Physician and Surgeon. Winthrop Gets Gift. Rock Hill, May 2.?Fr. Johnson, of Winthrop. received a le^er yesterday morning from Andrew Carnegie's secretary stating that Mr. Carnegie would donate $15,000 to the building of Winthrop's model school. It will be remembered that this State appropriated $20,000 for this purpose with the understanding that President Johnson should raise $25,000 more. Mr. Johnson has raised $65,000 more instead. It is his intention to get $100,000 for this school, which he proposes to make a model school, second to none anywhere. It will be remembered that Mr. Carnegie gave $30,000 for the library several years ago and this last gift brings his donation to Winthrop to the generous sum of $45,000. the NEWEST]! > or hat you always want the very /-sgl loubly true when you buy any article , why not buy your Furniture from a ifj tain that it is new and of the latest ;'J|j place and therefore there is not an ' jp shment, but all of the very newest |M lywhere.
