WHEELER. Hon. Geo. D. Tillman has been re nominated for Congress from the sec ond district. The convention had a deadlock for about two weeks. -The terrible spread of yellow fever in Florida and other places is enough to excite sympathy amongst all persons for the sufferers, and to wish for an early frost. The National Exposition at Augusta has been postponed one month and will now open on the 10th of Novem ber and run to the 1.5th of D)ecenmber. -Now if we just had our road completed all our pe->ple could run over and see the Exposition. But as it is, a good many of our people will attend any way. Owing to the great destruction of bridges in Edgefield County by the re cent heavy freshets the Chronicle sug gests that all bridge builders be required to warrant bridges to stand for five years, and the matter is being discussed by the County Commissioners of that county. We do not believe the plan a good one, and we do not believe it would be economy to attempt such a plan on the pai-t of the commissioners, not to speak of the trouble and impracticability of the thing. If a bridge builder has to give good security and is responsible the first cost of building would be greatly increased, in consequence of the risk he assumes. The loss has been heavy in Edge field, and in proportion equally as heavy in this county, but it is best for the counties to take the risks of the freshets than to undertake to obtain a guarantee from the builder. Edgefield might profit from New berry in one thing in this matter of bridges,and that is, make arrangements to pay the cash for such work. It would pay to borrow the money and pay interest rather than have the build ers to wait for their money. We are satisfied Newberry gets her bridges built for less money than Edge field. And this is a matter our County Commissioners will have to consider now, too, for the present levy will not be sufficient to replace all the bridges in this county that will have to be re built, and the levy that will be made by the next Legislature will not be col lected for a year. It will be economy to make arrangements to borrow money and pay cash for the work, for if this is not done, most bridge builders will make their estimates to have their claims discounted at from ten to twenty-five per cent. We believe in the county paying cash for whatever work it has done. THE LINE FOR NEWBERRY. The branch of the Three C's coming by Newberry is one of the most important roads ever projected through this sec tion of country. The line runs from Chicago to Charleston by atn almost air line route, and when completed will be the only great through trunk line connecting the Atlantic and the Lakes. It will be quite an advantage to New -*- berry commercially to be located on such a line. Our hacon, corn and coal conme from this sect ion, and as was sug gested at the meet ing. o,f the Board of Trade on Tuesday night, it will open up to our section a new market for our melon and potato crops. The early completion of this line is a miat ter of great import anee to our townl. and we hope no obstacle will be thrown ini the way, or any exe ume given for the delay of the work. Our business mien realize the impor tance of this road to our town and will do all in their powe~r to pushi ahead the work. Dr. Black, the manager of the Augusta Division, states that as soon as the rights of way are obtained the whole of this division will be let for the grad ing and work conmnenced at once. The rights of way have been obtained TI practically through Union and New berry except the town, and if they can make satisfactory arrangements to get through the town, the whole of the rights of way will be obtained on this di, ision within six weeks and the work of grading commenced at once there after. Dr. Black and Mr. Urquhart seem to think if this can be done trains . will be runniI" here by next fall. This is important to us and we hope everything can be satisfactorily ar ranged so that the railroad men will not be able toay that Newberry is causing the delay. BOB INGERSOLL BOUNCED. The Republicans Won't Let Him Speak Be cause He Favors Free Rum. [New York Sun.] The fact that Col. Robert G. Ilger soll has not made any speeches in the State campaign for the Republican party since he spoke at the ratification meeting for Warner Miller in Saratoga t he day after Mr. Miller's nomination was recalled yesterday around the State and national headquarters, when it was announced that Mr. Miller had said that Col. Ingersoll must not be permitted to talk any more in tlhs State. The order was said to be charac teristic of Mr. Miller, and of the n- t peremptory nature. It was stated that Mr. Miller's ire was aroused when Col. I ngersoll,froin the same platform where Mr. Miller proclaimed the high license issue, made a speech for free whiskey that simply horrified the Republicans in Saratoga at the time. This was too much for Mr. Miller, who the day before, in accepting the nomination, had attacked the liquor sellers, and had spoken in support of high license. It was said yesterday in the hotel corridors that John W. Vrooman of the State Committee had received Mr. Miller's orders concerning Mr. Inger soll, and that Mr. Miller's feeling had becone particularly emphatic since he had defiled the liquor dealers and said he would stand or fall without them. Mr. Vrooman was not an easy man to interview on the subject. He con tented himself with saying that Col. Ingersoll had' not been under the domination of the State Committee, adding that the National Committ ?a had charge of the Colonel. Senator Fassett, for the National Committee, said he didn't know anything about the matter. He was aware that the Colonel had not made any speeches in the State since his Saratoga effort, but he thought Col. Ingersoll had been speaking in other States. Col. Ingersoll, replying to the state ments that Warner Miller had sat upon him for his Saratoga speech, said: "The National Committee asked me to make speeches for them during the campaign. I promptly told them that I had no time, and I haven't. The story that Mr. Miller ordered that I shouldn't speak any more in the State is all gas, so far as I know." WORK ON WOFFORD COLLEGE. The New Mess Hall and Slate Roof Com menced. [Special to the World.] SPARTANEURG, Sept. 23.-Mr. Eu gene Tessier, who took the contract for the six thousand dollar mess hall of WofI'ord College. has already com menced work 0on the foundation. The re pairs on the college building are pro gressing very rapidly, and will be finishea by the hlrst of October. The new slate roof is quite a contrast i o the old tin roof, which has been an eyesore to the Spartanburg people so long. Dr. A. Coke Smith only yesterday said that the prospects for Wofford, were never br'ighter than at present. He thinks he is sure oi'fo Ly men for the freshman class, and expects to open the fitting school with between sixty and seveaity-five scholars. CRIME IN GREENVILLE. A Black Brute Beats His Two-Tear-Old Child to Death. [Special to the World.] GREENVILLE. Sept. 19.--A horrible crime was reported here to-day by a gentleman who came in from Hon.ea 2ath, Anderson county. Pink Shell, a negro living near that place, became enraged at his two-year-old stepchild this morning andl beat it so severely that it died in fifteen minutes. Th'e helpless infant was terribly bruised and lacerated and presented a pitiful specta cle. The community is indignant at this act of wanton cruelty. James B. Williams, a barkeeper, who wa tried in the circuit court yesterday for beating his rival for stories told by him to his sweetheart was convicted to day. A negro woman named Henrietta Suber was convicted of killing a negro railroad hand in a camp neatr here last August. The jury's verdict was for manslaughter, andl the woman was sentenced to two years in the peniten tiary. South Caro!nna Holiness Association.

LE AEWJ3Eh1t i A LONG SUFFERING CITY. Eight Weeks of Disease and Death in Jack sonville-The Outlook Growing Gloom ier-The Disease Among the Ne groes-A Physicians'Queer Opinion. JACKSON VI I.LE, September 22. Eight long weeks have passed since the first case of yellow fever, that of McCor inick,was developed at the Grand Union Hotel. To-night the official records show a total of 1,745 cases and 202 deaths. The daily list has been fearful in a city of the size of Jacksonville, with two-thirds of its people absent. To-day the record of new cases was again broken, footing up the figures 163. Of these 103 were colored people, who are being freely reported. It is now almost certain that many hundied colored people have had the fever and ree->vered withbout treatm ent or physt c"i-:ns. The old theory that neg.'oc- are not liah:e to contract yellow fever has eni exploded. It has been demon strated that they are albost as suscep tible to an attack as the whites, but that the issue is rardly fatal with them; probably never utnles.- the fever is coil plicated with organic diseases. An old an I eminent local physician said to-day, "Negrocs never die of yel low fever un1e s they cali in a doctor." The deaths re, orted to-day are six in number, namely: .lullie Tlonpsont, George Braddock, Louis Brinier, Col. Charles G. Elliott, (weorge B. Brooks and Wi'liai Christopher. iAxiNESvittE AN) MCLENxv.

WAsINGTON, September, 22.-A telegram was received at the Marine Hospital bureau this morning from a committee of citizens of Live Oak, Florida, asking that an expert be sent to Fernandina to investigate the disease at that place believed to be yellow fever. Mayor Reese. of Montgomery, Ala., telegraphs that recent developments show the yellow fever to be epidemic at Decatur; another proof, he says, of the inefficiency of the quarantine service in the different Southern towns. He asked that the Governnient cuarantine service . : put in effect at Decatur to protect Montgomery. CONGRESS TO THE RESCUE. WASHINGTON, September 22.-A special meeting of the House committee on appropriations has been called for Monday morning to consider the Sen ate bill making an appropriation of $100,000 for the relief of the sufferers by the yellow fever in the South.

One Donlar a Year. e (From the News and Courier, Septem di ber 10, 1888.) rl The priice of the Weekly News and SCourier, as aninounced yesterday. has n been reduced to one dollar a y'ear. At this price it is by far the cheapest ) newvspaper in the South. it is a newvs- .4 paper which meets the requirements of ti the farmer, the politician and the ni t merchant, and it is always a prime 01 C favorite with the home circle. & Crowded into its twelve pages and 9 seventy-two columns there is all the - news of the State, the United State s, , and of "this great globe itself,'' together with just such light reading as will in-r V terest the old and young, and amuse V thenitoo. c r The WVeeklv News and Courier, while hi: : thoroughly Americani, is radically a gi 4 Southern newspaper, and devoted to p:~ s the interests of the Southern peo)ple as e a comiponent part of the peop)les of the -United States. It is Demiocratic in its XT s poiicy and( principle, and broad and e nati<>nal in its aims. The public know a good newspaper when they see it, as is demonstrated by the success which has attended Trhe WVeekly News and Courier. It is read in every part of the United States, and in nearly every Stata in the Union, and ti r in Europe as wvell as in America. el SInstead of offering premiums, as has ~ 3 been customary, the price of The ti B WVeeklv News and Courier has been It: a proportionately reduced. It is now - within the reach (of everybody, and at ce e the rate of one dollar a year will be ei Sfound indispensable to the comfort and - development of all good people in South 1Carolina, at least.p V Postmasters throughout South Caro- o -lina and throughout all the States and qi r inlvited to become agents of The WVeek- ei ly News and Courier.
