PEACE IN SOOTH AFRICA. Ho Definite Announcement Made But Belief General in London That Peace Will fae De? clared. London, May 23.-The Associated Press has reason to believe that peace in South Africa is practically assured. How soon it will be announced der pends, apparntly more upon the con? venience of .the Boer leaders than upon the inclination of the Boer gov? ernment. The private and official ad? vices received tonight in London from -South Africa point to the same con? clusion. The day is technical and to end the long war seems to be the desire of both British and Boer lead? ers. The latter, however, are unable to convince ail their followers of the wisdom of acquiescing to the terms of peace. .Were the Boers a thoroughly disci? plined force, dependent upon the ac? tion Tof their general officers, peace would probably be proclaimed tonight ; but Botha, De Wet and the other gen? erals seem themselves unable positive? ly to guarantee N the degree to which i&eir example will be followed. The British public is still quite ignorant of the course of events in South A frica, and there are no demonstrations to? night on the London streets, althougq on all sides the question asked was, **Is it peace ?" On the other hand, the stock exchange throughout the day was a seething mass of brokers, who eagerly bought South Arican shares, while long after the closing of the ex? change nearly a thousand brokers, crowded Throgmorton street and did frantic curb business on the strength of the peace outlook. The appearance of Mr. B roed rick, the secretary of state for war, at the vokraeter service dinner tonight was watched eagerly in the hope of gaining an inkling of the government's pri? vate frame of mind. But Mr. Brod? erick's listeners had to be contented with one brief and adroitly turned reference to the present situation. Responding to the toast, "The Im? perial Forces," the war sceretary said: "I would go beyond duty should I enter into details of the communica? tions which are now passing and which , prelude, as we all hope, the surrender of the Boers.

' ^ZWH? ITEMS. The State reunion , of Confederate Veterans will bo held in Greenville, August 6th to 8tb.- - Capt. F. W. . Wagener is being isoomed for Mayor of Charleston. " * I A B30& 000 tourist hotel is to be greeted in-Aiken by .a Mrs. Beckwith, st western woman who spent some time in Aiken last ^winter. The "Smart Set." and William C. Whitney espe? cially," oppose the'building of a hotel in Aiken and have defeated all efforts heretofore made to build a hotel. Another cotton mill is projected by Greenville capitalists. It will be known as the Woodside MiH and will have $300,000 capital to start with. The Colored Ministeral Union of Co? lumbia held a meeting on a few days ago and adopted resolutions condemn? ing and denouncing excursions in the strongest terms. Nevertheless the negroes are as sure to go on excur? sion as tlie excursion season comes around. The King a Fire Crank. King Edward, from childhood, has always shown the keenest interest in fires and firemen. Of all the entertain? ments provided for iiim by the city of New York, he has most often remembered and says he most enjoy? ed a parade of the Volunteer Fire De? partment in his honor. There were 6,000 firemen in uniform, and all, save those in charge of ropes and tillers, bore torches. It was a great spec? tacle: and the Prince, as he looked at the brillint display in Madison Square, cried repeatedly : "This is for me : this all for mei" with unaffected glee. During many years of his life he used to be informed whenever a really big blaze was signalled, and he has attend? ed, incognito, most of the big fires in London during the last thirty years. -Everybody\s Magaizin<\j? GOOD CROP REPORTS From All Parts of Country But Strikes are Damaging. Xevr York, May 23.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say : With almost uni? formly good wheat, corn, oats and cot? ton crop reports, improved retail de? mand caused by warm weather, a full volume of recorded business for this season of the year, good collections and heavy railroad earnings, the only cloud on "the situation would seem to be the continued unrest of labor and the idleness of large numbers of indus? trial workers as a result thereof. Telegrams to Bradstreet's point to the greatly increased area devoted to corn and ?ats and that it is receiving adequate moisture at a time when greatly needed. It -will probably be found that all of the five million acres of winter killed wheat and that lost to spring wheat by heavy rains in North Dakota will be turned into coarser grains, high pri?es for which have been induced by short yields and straightened supplies last year. The winter wheat crop in the southwest is piratically made. The reports as to southern corns and particularly cotton are especially favorable. Wheat is slightly lower on good crop reports but straightened supplies of corn and oats make holders confident. Corn visible supplies are only half those of last year, and 60 per cent, cf the stock is in Chicago. Cot? ton was depressed early on confident short selling, but rallied later. Business failures number 152, as against 192 a year ago. WHITE SQUADRON'S CLOSE CALL Left St. Pierre the Day Before the Awful Catastrophe. Samuel Harris," of Newburg, N. Y., has received a letter from his^ brother in-law, Luke Stewart, who joined the United States navy last winter and is now on the Olympia. The letter was sent from Hampton Roads, Va., and was dated May 10. The Olympia is attached to the North Atlantic Squadron, and, with the Ke.5.rsarge, Alabama, Indiana and Pasaic, was returning from a southern cruise, when they put in at St. Pierre harbor. Signs of volcanic dis? turbances wera seen, and on May 7 the fleer, left the harbor. It was considered a miraculous escape, for if the eruption had taken place at that time the five ships would have been destroyed, as it requires about fire hours to get up steam on a battleship. There were over 2,OOO sailors on the ships. PEG?U?R FATAL MISHAP. . His Teeth Slipped Down His Throat While. Chatting Wfth Friends. Benjamin H. -Hopkins, a leading citizen and transportation man, and for many years the Florida representa? tive of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, died at Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday'afternoon, from the effects of a most peculiar accident. A month ago, while sitting on his porch one Sunday afternoon, chatting anddaughr ing with friends, his false teeth slipr . ped down his throat. For some days ?. it was thought that they would slip into his .stomach- and could then be secured. Later it was ascertained that they had lodged in his throat. An operation was performed a week ago and the teeth recovered, having lodged in the lc wer part of the throat, but pus formed and it was found soon after that his jugular vein had been perforated. This was cemented up, but to no purpose, and, despite the best medical attention, he died Tuesday.. Mr. Hopkins was well known in transportation circles in the South, and was greatly admired for his many fine qualities. He leaves a wife and two children. The Vatican's Vain Dream. Doubt is felt in Vatican circles as to whether the-Pope, -after all, will give an official reception tc the American Taft commission, says a dispatch from Rome/. Official notification of the ar? rival of tne^:.?ommission here at the end of May has now been received from thv United States embassy, and has caused disappointment at the Vat? ican, as it Specifically eliiminates all the political,aspects sought to be at? tached to the "commission ; sets forth that the commission must not in any way be ' regarded as' an American recognition of the Vatican's policy to? wards italy,- and points out that the commission $s of a- purely business character^ and:.in no way" connected with-politics. .. Million Dollar Mill on Catawba. ' Charlotte, N. C., May 23.-J. B. Duke, president of the American To? bacco cc mpany, has placed orders i a New England for mchinery for a mil? lion doltar cotton mill. "Mr. Duke's plant will be located at Great Falls, on the Catawba river, in Chester County, S. C. It will be known as Erwin Cotton Mill, No. 2, and W. A. Erwin of Durham will be-president. The Lukes no.w own in the south enough valuable water power to run a million cotton spindles. J. B. Duke is quoted as saving that tho onlv wav to effect a trust of southern mills is to put up enough money to buy them ali out. In mill circles there is a rumor that the Dukes are seriously, consider? ing the question of effecting a merger on theil own account. Notes of the Candidates. Hon. George E. Prince, of Ander? son, is a candidate for Congress. Gov. McSweeney has not decided whether he will hold over as Govern? or fortwo years longer or go to the Uni? ted States Senate for six years. Comptroller General Derham will not be a candidate for re-election. Mr. A. W. Jones, a clerk in the Comp? troller's office, will be a candidate for Comptroller, as will also Capt. J. G. Richards, of Kershaw. It begins to look like Col. J. Harvey Wilson will win hands down in the race for Secretary of State. JUDGMENT FOR THE GIRL. A Gay Kentuckian Mulcted in the Sum of $2,000. In the Calhoon Circuit Court at Owensboro, Ky., the other clay, Laura Chenoweth secured a judgment against. John Pike for 82,000. The girl is an orphan and is not "bright." John Pike, who formerly lived in Davies county, went to Cal? hoon and got ona spree. He called at the house where the Chenowith girl lived with her stepmother, who was not much superior to her in mental eqiupment. Pike represented that he was a single man, wealthy and despe? rately in love. He bad no difficulty in persuading the unfortunate girl to marry him, and he insisted that the ceremony take place at once. He left the hocse and got a confederate, to whom he had unfolded his scheme, to agree to act as preacher a.nd marry them. They returned with an alleged license and the ceremony was per? formed. Pike remained wita the girl two days and then left. Later he was captured and taken back to Calhoon. It was found that the only offense with which he could be charged was one with a ridiculous? ly small penalty, which was duly inflicted. It is understood that Pike has some property which may be sub? jected to the payment of the judg? ment. ???III i- --rutm - Seven hundred women, men and children attacked the shop of a Nor? folk Street buttoner in New York city Wednesday night of this week. The butcher had opened his store for the sale of meat, disregarding the edict of the East Side people that no meat should be sold. The butcher re? fused to obey the mob that ordered him to close and before the police re? serves could be summoned his place was a wreck. Four arrests were made. MERIDIAN OF GREENWICH. Aa daglish Tetra Which Is the Headquarters cf Father Time. Greenwich, as cn English town, 13 nothing very remarkable, but ss the headquarters of Father Time it is the mest important spot on the earth. Its time is in every longitude of the globe, a??d every land, excepting Spain, Por? tugal and Russia, measures the hours from its meridian. No navigator on duty is without Greenwich time in sight and every town anti geographi? cal point is known by its distance casi or west from the Greenwich observa tory. Ask the time, and the answer is al ways in even hours ahead or behind Greenwich or else the exact Green? wich time. In Great Britain. Belgium and Holland you get the Greenwich time. One hour before Greenwich time mies in Germany. Austria-Hungary. Denmark. Italy, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. Two hours ahead of Greenwich is adopted in Bulgaria, Roumania and Turkey in Europe. Eight hours ahead of Greenwich applies in the Philip? pines. Nine hours before the Green? wich time is used in Australia. Ten hours ahead of Green wich is offi? cial in Victoria, Queensland and Tas? mania. The United States, Canada and Mexico have adopted the filth, seventh and eighth hours-wfter. ?So it is around'the earth-every tick ?i ?vcry clock regulated .by Greenwich 'Lune.->*ew York ?lerald. Got tho Batter of Iloiel Clerk. "With all his faults." began Mr Fairchild, "the hotel man is a first class fellow, who will go a long way to-keep his guests;'from' shining too much .in public or fuoin. being seen by doubtful, guests. 1 recall ar. instancy which happened to me ii: New York not long ago. I had registered in the morning and. leaving my key at the hotel, came back again in the evening. Finding the night clerk on, but not on to me, 1 asked him. giving him my name, if I was in. Not knowing the number of my room, I decided this was the way to (ind out. "He looked at me rather suspiciously. Evidently the result of his inspection was not reassuring, for, after making a bluff at feeling in my box. he replied quite stiffly: " 4No. sir; .Mr. Fairchild is not in.' L sat down on the lounge and said calmly: " 'Wei!, when he comes in -please tell,, him that he is here looking for him,-, self/ . ?7 "The porter carried the clerk lip^ ?stairs."--New York Tribune. ''^! Injuries From Carbolic Acid. Warnings are given in a medical Journal against the injury to skin and even bone which may result from the long continued use of weak-say. 3. 2y? or even 2 per cent-carbolized applica? tions, especially upon peripheral por? tions of the body, such as the fingers. This effect, it is asserted, is due in a small measure to the action of carbolic acid upon the vasomotor system, but in the main to its destructive effect upon the red and white blood corpuscles. This induces, partly in a mechanical and partly in a chemical way, stasis, first in the capillaries and. if the action of the drug be continued, then in the larger veins and arteries, with the re? sult that the nutrition of the part is in? terferid with and the removal of the harmful substances hindered; the mac? eration of the epidermis caused by the acid favors evaporation, so that the gangrene is a dry one, a amminifica tion, as it were. A Corn Care. To cure corns get a little gutta percha tissue from a druggist, cut it into strips and then wind a piece rour. d the corn, which must first be moistened with oil. See that the edges of tho tissue are ns even as possible, anil who i you have wound it round wet the ii:side of the end with spirits of turpentine. This will canse it to stick li rn ly :f you press it down. With a feather dipped in turpentine touch the edges of the tis? sue, and they will unite. Leave for fonr days, then take oil the dressing, and you will be a hie to remove ih? corn with the back of a penknife. The latest in fine stationery jnst re? ceived and placed on sale at H. G.
