Although he has been solicited by a number of friends throughout the t State, Col. Jno. Folk will not offer ) for State treasurer, as he feels that 1 he can be of more service to the peopie of his county in the State Senate, ( and he will make the race for that ^ position. His card appears this week. , _ _ _ C From the number of wrecks the < Southern Railway is having at Bam- 1 berg, it would appear to be good business judgment for the president J and other officials to pay less atten- 1 tion to telling the people of the South 1 how to farm, raise cattle, etc., etc., ( and devote more attention to the op- f erating of the road. ( Last week the Newberry Herald ^ and News issued a special edition j j commemorating the rounding out of |' twenty-five years of service on the I part of its editor, Col. E. H. Aull. We have not known him quite all this time, but we have always found him fair and true to his ideals, with no malice in his heart for any one. Here's our best wishes for many years of happiness and usefulness. The dispensary investigating committee appointed by the recent general assembly was in sesison for several days last week and Attorney General Lyon and several members of the Ansel dispensary commission testified. However, most of the testimony was in answer to the insinuations of the governor, and nothing material was developed. Fact is the witnesses did little but abuse the governor. Gov. Blease did not go to Hampton last week where he had accepted an invitation and where it was expected there would be a political discussion between the governor and Ex-Chief Justice Ira B. Jones, who "had also been invited. Jones was present and spoke, but the governor ( wrote a letter saying he was too I busy. Yet he was away for several 1 days recently in the up-country, look- 1 ing after his political fences. Of t course no one would be so unkind as < to even intimate that the governor 1 was scared to meet Mr. Jones. < Roses, roses, roses, collars, collars, ] jabots, jabots. New for evening i wear. THE MILLINERY STORE. (C. W. Rentz, Proprietor.) TILLMAN BOUND FOB TRENTON. ( Senator to Attend Clemson Meeting Before Return to Washington. Washington, March 11.?Senator Tillman, accompanied by Mrs. Till- ; man, left this afternoon for Trenton, S. C. One of the purposes of his trip is to attend the meeting of the trustees of Clemson College. The senator has been steadily at work at his office in the capitol building for weeks, has handled a mass of correspondence and other work, and has been in his seat on the senate floor at least a part of the time during every day's session. While he has not made any regular speech at this session thus far, the senator has at times participated in the debate by the interjection of brief, characteristic comment, which has been recorded in the proceedings. The senator thinks that unless the senate dispatches business a great deal faster than it has been doing hitherto at this session, congress will be here far into the summer, and long after the Republican and Demo crauc .\auuiiai cuuvcuuuus.

Seized in Yard by Unknown Man, Ii who Escapes?City Stirred. Florence, March 11.?A well- f] known and highly respected woman, the wife of a well-known railroad en- , gineer. was attacked here to-night by . a man unknown to her, and who tl made good his escape before assista nee reached her. The lady had gone into the yard fl for an armful of wood and as she reached down to pick up the wood she was seized by some one from be- ? hind. She screamed and made an effort to free herself from his hold, = and in doing so the person making the assault tore her dress from her ? person. After getting free from his d grasp she ran screaming to the house S and by the time assistance arrived *2 the fellow had scaled the fence in _ the darkness and gotten away. The place where the offence was 0 rv committed is just one door, south on Saillard street, from East Evans, and si within four doors from where little a: Andrew Jackson was taken. The affair, following so close on the mys- n:erious disappearance and murder of tc :he Jackson child, has thrown the P< women and children who have heard ^ 11 Df it almost into hysterics, and the C( men, who were congregated in rr groups in the eastern section of the D nty, are swearing vengeance against n :he culprit should he be caught. __ Arrangements are being made to secure bloodhounds if they can be got- = :en quickly. S1 ^ ? n Reward Offered for Firebugs. e] . R Union, March 9.?Mystery still en- tj shrouds the destruction of the Union ic rilunf nriri Pnittine" of its Duiiding at 4 o'clock Wednesday norning by fire, though the police ft ire working hard on the case and ? :eel certain that it was the work of tl in incendiary, though if they have iny clue as to the identity of ?the fire- = Dugs it has not been made public. _ To quicken developments and as- ~~ >ist in apprehending the criminal in ol :he case, the city council to-day of- S. fered a reward of $200 and it is un- pj lerstood that this amount w ill be oi supplemented by the Union Times P< company. _ One of the firemen, on getting up :o the head of the stairway, a very v< larrow one, between the Union * n< Times building and that of the Hum- Sl )hries-Perrin company, owned by J. ic 3. Gault, found a window of the ? Times building open, and it is sup- _ Dosed that the firebug made his way lp this stairway from the rear of the juilding to the landing and there ipened the window and threw in ma- a] serial saturated with oil, as soine- pi hing very inflammable was evidently P: e< lsed because of the quick, fierce _ ilaze. Just an hour or less before the fire vas discovered, the alarm being n urned in at 3:35, two of the police ci )fficers had passed this building, as a -- 4 ni hey do every night, and triea tne ioor, and everything was in good tc ;hape, and Chief of Police Evans* is iositive that the blaze did not o:rig- = nate from any stoves. What makes the theory of incen- ? liarism seem so probable is that l.ast d; summer Rev. L. M. Rice, editor of B he paper, received a threatening a] pi monymous note, declaring that he p) vould be burned out if he did not :ease his activity against lawlessness ? vhich crusade for bettering civic c, conditions was being waged by both Si capers in the city. He referred edi- r< ;orially to the threat at the time, ni mt has continued his outspoken atti:ude for law and order, paying no ittention to this and other threats ? le received, although the conditions d existing within the past few months c lave not required such vigorous pub- r< ic condemnation as he has previous- S1 .y given. WHAT BLEASE HAS DONE. _ Governor's Alleged Achievements d Told in Ked Back Book. Columbia, March 10. ? "What _ Blease has done for South Carolina, by T. B. Felder," is the g title of a book, a copy of which a was shown here this afternoon p by a travelling man, who was returning from a trip through the *~ Piedmont, The book in question con- n sists of red backs and four blank pages, each page having a blot of " ink on it. That is all there is to the book. ^ The travelling man said the r pamphlet was being circulated pretty generally throughout the Piedmont, ~ and whenever it is pulled out in a t crowd and the title given every man f at once wants to see it. When it is f' r examined, and nothing but blank Jpages coverted with blotches of ink are found, comments are varied. = It will be remembered that T. B. * Felder, the much discussed Atlanta attorney, promised to write a book on Gov. Blease and this is the closest d thing resembling the promised book ? which has been issued so far. ^ Do you want the best shoe made d for the price?
