On June 2nd a washout on the Richmond and Danville road caus ed the^wreck of a passenger tra kr near Ridgeway, twenty-one miles from Columbia. The engineer | and fireman were killed.

Governor Foster of Louisiana is in New Orleans trying to borrow money with which- to relieve the j starving condition of about 10,000 j flood sufferers of that State, mostly negroes who were living on planta tions near the crevasses. They are j in a most pitiful condition. ? Revenue Collector Webster thinks the stringency in the money mar ket is caused by the uncertainty as to Congressional legislation upon the tariff question. He thinks I the dispensary law will be a great benefit to the colored race in the State. Jno. B. Cleveland of*.Spartan burg has been appointed perma nent receiver of the Port Royal "and Western Carolina railroad-\ better known as the Augusta and Knoxville. Mr. Cleveland is in sympathy with the original own ers,'- antagonistic to che Georgia Central , and will run the road s in the interest of Augusta and upper Carolina. A few years ago the very . small cotton producer usually gave the 83ed in order to have their cotton ginned. ^ But if the price of cotton ? continues to decline until next fall it the rate it has been going down for the past two or three month&, it may not be surprising that such | farmers will be found giving the j f: lint of their present crops for the ginning and they retaining the The commissioners of the World's Fair' are getting uneasy lest the attendance should not be as general as was expected. Ru mors of extortionate prices have . been cooling the ardor of would-be .visitors, so that the commission ' ers have found it necessary to is sue a circular in which they as sure the public that the Fair is I now in shape and the best time to I see it is at once, and that J charges for^board will be reasona ble. The railroad rates will have to be reduced to insure success to the Exposition. The gravest question that will confront Congress at its extra ses sion ?D September is the financial . one. A majority of the people of this county demand free coinage of silver and this demand is not con ? fined to the rag-tag and bob-tail crowd; many of the wisest finan ciers and political economists in the land favor it. But President I ^Clevelan^is unalterably^ opposed to any other than a gold standard for-this country. His argument, in a nut-shell, is that the dem on i tization of silver by this govern ment while it may have been a ? \ mistake at the time, is now beyond our power to control or rectify : that tho nations of the earth are, most of them, demonitizers . of | the white metal angfc the United States cannot turn back the tide alone except at the expense of the greatest financial depression and disaster. The President it is claimed is even willing to advocate an income tax and the repeal of the ten per j cent, tax on State b.tnks, but upon ?he question of free coinage of j silver he is immovable. On the other hand those who I 'avor silver coinage contend that the United States is large enough and great enough and strong) enough to maintain a financial theory and system of its own the ations of the earth to the country otwifchstandftig; that this is emi tly and distinctively a si'vern wincing country; that, lookingf "wn the centuries when all North "America shall be one nat io'n and I e silver from Alaska to the I thmus of Panama shall be all rs, it would seem that to deliber-i ?tely shut this metal out of our I n?nts would be as if a mau with ;wo good eyes should put out one ;nat he might value the one left more than before--This is the way it looks to a man up a^ tree. The Financial Outlook. Clapp~& Co., of New York, ut their Saturday's circular say: "An industrial crisis appears to be in sight. Credit carries heavier weight than money. Narrow mar gins of cash settle immense totals. .Bookkeeping appears an impor tant function of banking and merchandise. Foundations of our finance are broad enough for infla tion of credit-too narrow for easy liquidation. Confidence holds the atoms of credit together-without it the foundation l crurnoles and the structure settles. Foreign sys tems worse than ours offer no re lief. The obligations of labor to capital too large the world over. A rnono-metalic standard without note issues is impossible. To liquidate means to force a contest between organized labor and capi tal. Only a narrow margin to fignt for. The margin of profit will be wholly destroyed early in the con test. Distributive forces demand commercial blood in the form of xnoney.^A smaller quantity suffices for processes of concentration. A republic should mean freest pos sible distribution consistent with absolute unity of purpose. The interests of each, the interests of all." The Adventure of a Country Re porter, While Visiting the.... State Dispensary. Darlington Reform-Sentinel. Your reporter after a most de lightful ride over the Coast Line, arrived safe and dusty in the city of canal fame, i. e. Columbia. A short ride on the electric street cars brought us up that steep in cline called Bridge or Gervais dtreet, to the corner of Main or Richardson street, near which is situated the great State Dispen sary. . Mr. Traxler being sick, our pop ular and energetic Governor waB in his usually vigorous manner, pushing the repairs to completion, but took time to race your reporter over the building at 40 miles per hour. His Excellency was not very busy this day. He had only about twenty-five different things requiring his immediate personal attention. Several bills of lading to examine and check off ; ten or a dozen men standing about wait ing to be told something or other ; two or three festive drummers who, on account of a change in the rail road schedule, couldn't be put off under any 'circumstances. Then came a woe-begone looking manj with longish- hair and iron gray j beard who wanted a new elbow, but whether for himself a friend or a stove pipe-, I could not ascer tain. The telephone bell was constant ly jingling and the Governor con stantly shouting hello at people in all parts of the city and for aught I know some of them might by residing in Chicago, China and ?Tapan. These mingled with the clinking of stone drillB, the ring ing of trowels, the rapid stroke of numerous nail hammers, and the loudly issued orders of the differ ent "boshes" made a pandemonium of- noises that are simply inde scribable. Still this was a sort of an off day with the Governor. I rejoiced exceedingly that I missed one of his busy daysv Tired trying to keep pace with tho omnipresent Governor, your reporter strolled off to take in the sights more leasurely. I met a young smart-looking man who had a perfectly reckless air about him as if he knew every bolt screw and nail in the entire Dispensary, and could tell their uses. In fact, he looked as if he was filled full of Dispensary knowledge, and could roll it off by the yard if he only chose to do so. I stood beside him a moment and saw him successful ly spear the third fly with the toothpick of his pocket knife, af ter which skillful feat he looked up in answer to my salutation. Something rural in the style of my clothes, or the accumulated dust of Darlington, Florence, Sumter and Richland counties, which had set tled ^heavily upon our last years spring^uit, caused him to suspect that we were fresh from the rural districts. However, he willingly consented to show us around. He commenced /enlightening us by saying that this tank was calcula ted to hold just one million gal lons of whiskey and that the rea son why they were lined with met-' al was to prevent the possibility of future Governors, employees, or visitors sucking the whiskey through straws, thereby reducing the revenue that would otherwise accrue to the State. He showed me a large place in the ceiling that was, he said, where the great elec tric light would be placed ; that it was to be the largest and most powerful light in the world with a power of a million or two candles and would eost, he thought, five hundred thousand dollars. That the light was so powerful that a blind man could see to read the smallest print on the other side of the brick partition which was two feet thick, that all the County Dispensaries would be supplied , kvith light from this source; that :hey had peculiar bottles made for ;he purpose that could be filled vith light from this big one md ;hat wheu they were uncorked and . mt into a large glass globe, and lung up in the County Dispensa res, that they would give light iuough to do them for a whole i veek. The next thing to which I ny loquacious conductor called < my attention was amachine which looked like a minature trip-ham mer which was nsed he said for condensing the whisky into the bottles, that after a bottle was as full as it could hold, the machine forced more into it ; that this pro cess strengthened the bottles and also the whiskey; that the ma chine would also mash the hands of any one who attempted to monkey with it. In reply to the question, how many hands he sup posed would be required to run the establishment, he answered in a confidential whisper, that when the business was running at its full capacity, it would take near four thousand hands, but to not give that piece of information away as he had the hiring of all the bands, and his mail now amount ed to nearly a carload of letters every day asking jobs. Women, he said, would be mostly employed as label lickers, as they had the glibbest, quickest, and slickest tongues ; that he had seen girls in large pateut medicine houses by long practice, who could wind their tpngues clear around a quart bottle and stick the label on be fore you could wink, but of course they were old hands at it. But, he added, where ono attained that degree of excellence their were five others who filled early graves with what is known as the dry tongue. They had no moisture whatever in the mouth, and could not talk at all and it is needless for me to add that when women are so situated that they cannot talk, then it is that life to them ap pears dreadful, and uot worth the living, and they pine away. Been Everywhere, Has Seen Ev erything, and Cannot Tell a ]Lie if he Tried,-And Don't Want to Try. The following from the Atlan ta Herald tells of the wanderings of Col. Jno. F. Hobbs, late of this county. His friends will be glad to.hear of him again, and hope that ho will visit Edgefield and show thc boomerang and the scars and tell of the dangers and the v wars he has passed through. Made "a pile;" made a king of two tribes of cannibale; run j through with a spear ; writing five books ; rich in experiences ; but a few weeks out from^ Australia to day- J- ; I How is that for a record? Yesterday, Col. John F. Hobbs, who left Atlanta in 1890 for Aus tralia, returned to the city. He was heavier than when he left, and there was about him more of that general air of self-satisfaction* than characterized him three years ago. Col. Hobbs has been in journal ism and has had a great many un usual experiences.-He~~nranruHn-g chief of one of the tribes of blacks in the back country of-Australia, and a ruling chief or king of one of the cannibal tribes on the New Hebrides islands out from the Australian coast. He bears on his body the scars of a spear thrust wliich he received in an encoun ter with the blacks when on a raid with a squad of Australian police. Col. Hobbs showed a represent ative of the Herald a photograph of the fighting chief of his tribe, Rahohouma. The fellow is dress ed in a suit of clothes given him by the colonel, and around his neck wears a necklace of poipoise teeth. Each tooth represents a man killed in battle, whose heart had been eaters in whole or in part by Rahouma. The fellow is thir ty-two years old and is very much attached to Col. Hobbs. He speaks broken English, and one day said to the colonel : "You eat um Chinaman one time you no more eat um pig. White fellow too much eat salt. Chinaman very good." It is supposed the opium in the Chinaman soothed the cannibal. These fellows fight with spears, clubs, and battle axes. Col. Hobbs has a boomerang taken in battle by himself. The colonel was, asked for a statement of the causes that pro duced the panic in Australia. He said: "First they had the mine boom ers, and then the land boomers, and with these last came the build ing societies,'that were organized to build houses to be sold on the instalment plan. A general depres sion first caused the failure of these building societies, the col lapse amounting to some $40,000, 000. Last year the sheep raisers suffered great Josses from the rab bits and drought, and three im mense banks that had loaned money on the sheep properties were forced to suspend. This caused runs on the, other banks, and the bank failures in the last two months foot up over $300,000, 000. Most of this is safe, however, and the banks will pay out as soon as they can realize on their assets." "You can have no idea of the terrible losses the sheep raisers suffered," continued Col. Hobbs. "On one rauch 25,000,000 rabbits died or perished, and the sheep were simply wiped from the face of the earth, through the drought and the damage doue by the rab bits." Col. Hobbs will be in Atlanta until July, and will then go on to Chicago to visit the World's Fair. He is engaged in writing five boofts, soon to be issued from tho press.

Negro Rapist Hung to a Tele graph Pole. DECATUR, HJ., June 3.--Early this morning a mob attacked the county jail and lynched S'imuel J. Bush, a negro who made a crim inal assault upon Mrs. William H. Vest, in Mount Zion township, last Tuesday. The details of the lynching were sensational from the start to finish. Bush was in jail awaiting trial. A guard of twelve men had been put in the jail and an extra force of men were put on duly outside. About 300 curious people stood around the jail all night, though most of them thought no serious attempt would be made to tak? the prisoner out. At just 2 o'clock twenty-five men came on a rush up Wood street. They were quiet, without masks and moved in a solid body. They forced their way through the crowd and knocked on the jail door. Deputy Sheriff Midkiff and Special Officer Foster sat just in side and refused them admission. One blow from the sledge hammer crashed in the door and the officers were surrounded by twenty-five armed men. The keys of the jail were demanded but both officers declared they did not have them. The men then went to work with sledge hammers and chisels and worked foi ty minutes at the. two doors, one of solid iron an inch thick, and the other of steel bars, forcing them both. Meanwhile the crowd of Decatur people stood quietly outside. No one seemed to care much.- There was no talk of resistance and the officers w1?re not upbraided for makinguomore objection. Mar shal Mason forced his way through the spectators and into the jail and started to address * the men. at work. They seized him and crowd ed him out of the door. There was only an occisi?n al yell and alto gether it was a quiet attack on the jail. A frightened negro inside the jail pointed out Bush's cell. Three men rushed in and found it appar ently empty. They jerked over the mattress and lifted it up and out tumbled the negro. He had crawled inside. He was dragged into the street, where 1,500 town people had assembled, and taken to a telegraph pole, on one of the most prominent corners in the city directly in front of the court house. An arc light made the street in tersection as light as day., * A rope made of halter straps had been put around the negro's n??k. When the crowd stopped, at the foot of the pole he asked, for .time to pray. The men^id^/i??ie ^rraa'SirEEe-time ne want?"~".':jaS knelt dowp on the/ bricks and be gan to pray in a sing-son?way. He would call on Jesus to come and take his soul and forgive the men who were murdering him and then dec1 are that he was innocent. He prayed disconnectedly fully ten minutes while thousands of people crowded around close together as they could, many jesting, and no one seeming impressed with the awfulness of the scene. Finally the spectators began to get impatient. A.man had climbed half way up the pole and stood in the glare of the light all the time. "Cut that short," he said. "He gave those women no time." Others took up the cry. "Hang him. He's prayed enough," they yelled. The rope was handed to the luau on the pole. He put it over the wire andthe crowd pulkd. The negro's body, now naked, swung up into sight four feet from the ground and fell back. The negro uttered no sound. He was put on top of a cab. The cab was driven under the pole, the rope fastened to a cross arm, the cab driven away and the man was hanged till dead. The coroner cut him down. Among the lynchers was William Vest, husband of the second woman outraged, and Rolla Dill, brother of first woman assaulted. , Bush was born at Mason, Miss., in 1860. He said his father and brother 1 ive there. He came North three or four months ago and has been doing odd jobs around De catur about six weeks.. Monday, it is charged, he went into the house of Mrs. B. Dill and committed an assault on her. About ll o'clock Tuesday morning, Bush, it is alleged, went to the house of William Vest, eight miles from Decatur in Mount Zion town ship, and finding the woman alone outraged her in the presence of her small children. She only succeed ed in escaping further outrage by promising him money. The news of the crime spread over the township and farmers dropped their work and turned out to hunt the negro, who, however, kept in the brush until he got about twenty-five miles away. Then he came out and was captur ed. He admitted being at Vest's and seizing Mrs. Vest by the arm just to scare her. He denied outraging her. A neighbor identified h'm as naving been near Vest's house. It was the first lynching that ever oc curred in this county. Hundreds of citizens were around the scene, to-day and took it coolly though they condemned the dead. It is thought there will not be any prose cution. Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of ' Poughkeepsie, N. Y., was for years a martyr to' headache, and never found anything to give her more than temporary relief until she be gan to take Ayer's Pills, since ; which she has been in the enjoy ment of perfect health. -THE Union Mutual life Insurance Company, Incorporated, 1848. Its Policies are the Most Liberal Now Offered to the Public. Is the"only existing Company whose policies are, or can be subject to the MAINE NON-FORFEITURE LAW. WHAT IT IS. The Maine Non-Forfeiture law protects policies from forfeiture by reason of default of payment of premiums. It provides that, after three years' premiums have been paid, failure to pay any subsequent premiums shall not forfeit a policy, but it shall continue in force for its full amount until the reserve (less a small surrender charge) upon the policv is exhausted. The reserve is a sum made up of portions of each and every pre mium paid upon a policy in anticipation of its maturity. Beginning with a small portion of the first premium, it is increased each year by the addition of each subsequent premium, and grows larger year by year, until, at maturity, it exactly equals the face of the policv. When a policy is discontinued therefore, there is in the hands of th? Com pany a reservo, greater or less, according to the character and age of the policy. Instead of permitting the Company, upon non-payment of premium, to confiscate this reserve, the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law requires the Company to continue the policy in force until the policy holder receives an equivalent for it in extended insurance. How IT WORKS. If a person, aged 35, pays three years' premiums upon a twenty payment Life policy.and then discontinues payment, the policy wil be continued 4 years and 257 da3'8 longer; if he paya five premiums, an<^ then discontinues, the insurance will continue 7 years and 357 days longer. If'the policy is a twenty year endowment, same age, three years' payments will give an extension of 8 years and 150days; five years' payment 13 years, 300 days. If the policy is a 15 Year Endowment, ($1,000) same age, three years' payments will secure insurance to the end of the endowment period and $13.68 in cash if insured lives till that time, and in like manner ten years' payments secures insurance for the full ?5 vears and $592.17 in cash. These extensions vary with the age of the insured, the class of policy, and the number of payments made; they are stated in each ppjicy. in_vears and days, for each number of payments, so that the ?olicy^-?~oiaerT?Tix>W8'?tt?~ glance exactly what ne is entitled tb If'li discontinues his payments at any time. What it Has Done. The Company Has Paid over Two Hundred Death Claims, in con sequence of this law, aggregating in sums insured more than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. In every case there had been a default in the payment of pre mium, and, except for this law, the policies would have been of little or no value. Instead of this, the insurance in each case was extended to the time of death, and the Company was required to pay to the beneficiaries under the policies the sum of $418 335.77. He Vie o? \m Law Extensions as Cowed WITH ZPATD-TTIP VAiLUES. It is the custom of many companies to provide in their policies that, upon discontinuance of payment of Premium, paid-up policies will be given, without the option of extension. This was the practice of the Union Mutual before the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law was en acted, but it now substitutes for paid-up values the more advantage ous plan of extended insurance. The objection to the paid-up system is that the amount of paid-up insurance which is given upon the dis continuance of payments upon a policy, unless it has been in force a great many years, is insignificant, and of little or no value as protec tion ; and it leaves the insured who ceases payment without adequate insurance at the very time he needs it the most. The great advantage of the extended insurance afforded by the Maine Law over the most liberal paid-up system is strikingly shown by the following comparison, and it will be observed that the paid-up value is insignificant in comparison with the amount actually paid by the Union Mutual. The result of two hundred and twelve policies was this: If the insured had received paid-up policies instead of ex tended insurance, the Company would have had to pay in settlement of the claims only. $98,197.50 Whereas, in fact, it did pay under the Maine Law, $418,344.77 Making a difference in favor of the beneficiaries under Two Hundred and Twelve pol iciei of $320,147.28 The policies are free from all restrictions, and incontestible after ONE YEAR. A grace of one month is given in the payment of premiums. For further information call on, or address, B. B. EVANS, Manager for South Carolina, Office, No. 1, Advertiser Building, EDGEFIEIJD, - s. c.
