Facefield Advertiser Tl'OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26, 1896. Senator Ben Tillman opens his mail with a little silver pitchfork, the <?ift of an admiring constitu ent. Congressman Talbert now di vides the attention of the country with Senator Tillman. The Charleston Post says Ben Tillman and the British Lion are the two exclusive social lions of tho clay. Both seek whom they may' devour. Atti rt cent convention pf the populists of Mississippi they re fused to endoso Senator Tillman's recent speech in the United States Senate. Twenty-five thousand dollars have ah cady been forwarded from this country to Clara Barton at Con stantinaple for distribution among the Armerions. O'her thousands are to follow. We hope the Ame ? rians will get if. Lieut. M.B. Stokes, of the Uni ted States army, has arrived in Columbia.

C., Feb. 22.-A crowd of 150 men evidently friends of the prisoners now on trial for lynching, met to lynch State Detec tive Newbold here last night. Newbold was walking along the steets, when a ma i cursed him and then ran. Newbold drew his pistol and went safely home. Later, a mob gathered at New bold's boarding house and cursed him for some time, but nothing ?erious resulted. . Newbold had a Winchester rifle to defend himself with. A considerable commotion was caused by the incident, and fur ther trouble is feared. The people here are red-hot, and there is to 'elling what may result. -Register. Such a condition of aft'airs calls for action and prompt action on the part of Governor Evans. Ellerbe and Watson. Columbia State. As to the State campaign, there seems to be chance whatever of a Conservative candidate coming out for governor. The conservatives it seems aro merely going to be on lookers this year. It is pretty thoroughly understood that the "Tillman administration candidafe for governor is to be ex-Comptroller Ireneral Wm. K. Ellerbe of Marion. On all Bides he is mentioned as the winning candidate for governor. Then there is Senator R. B. Wat son. He has not yet announced his candidacy, but he is regarded . as mest likely to be the man to op pose Mr. Ellerbe in the primary. He has a strong following and his friends are now seriously consider ing putting him in the race. They think he will prove far more than . match for Mr. Ellerbe on the dump. No other candidates for . rvernor are now being mentioned. AS TO OTHER STATE OFFICE?. i to other State offices, Secre ?)f State Tompkins, Comptrol >rton, Attorney General B?:r-? 1 Adjutant Watts will all or reelection, it is uuder ., Superintendent of Educa j. Mayfield will no doubt run for a fourth term. State Treasurer Bate9 will hardly stand f >r rejec tion, but his friends are talking of running him anyway. But no mat ter what candidates appear in the primary for State offices, the cam paign so far as they are concerned will amount to but very little, for the senatorial fight will be the ab sorbing matter with the crowds.

Mr. Rainsford said ho was a cora mon friend of all the institutions of higher education, but he was a Bpeciul friend to Clemsou co'.icg because he was a farmer; farming had been his occupation all his life. Hence it was impossible for any one to charge him with wish ing to injure Clemson. Clemson had come and asked foran appro priation at the outset, breaking her contract not to ask for anything. Last year she asked for $20,000; they appropriated $25,000, in some way it read $35,000. The trustees discussed whether to take it or not, and nut only took it, but used it. They owed it to the State lo return th.?t $10,000 on moral grounds, if no other. He then quoted the fig ures showing the income of Clem son college. The farm ought to re turn the institution at least $5,000. Ile said the board of trustees were running a hotel there. "Think of these figures," he exclaimed. "They are astonishing me." If these fig ures were presented to the people they would be astounded also. Her income would be $100,000 this year. He could not see the necessity for such an amount. He wanted the ^privilege tax fund to be divided and a portion given to the girls. Every student, now at Clemson was a beneficiary. "Gentlemen do you believe that every student there should be a beueficiary?" At least 170 of the little boys there oould be as woll educated in the common schools as at Clemsou. LEGISLATIVE Tie Columbia St:ito, Feb. 24dl. During the past week the fat.; of the State fair appropriation was finally settled, so far as the specia ls ll was concerned. It is definite ly decided, too, that the metropoli tan police bill will stand. Then, again, there is no further question about the privilege lax; it is to stand. The State printer is not to be paid in excess of $20,000 for rv year's work. The Wallace prop erty is to be purchased for the asylum. The report of the Clemson col lege investigating committee has bien presented. With its contents al!, however,are familiar. The fire in-urance bill has pass ed the house, with very essential amendments, which it is thought ? that the senate will not agree to. The house has passed thc bill repealing tho anti-free pass act, ai:d this week the sonate will act th?reon. The house has ended the career of the senate building and loan bi:I and it lies in a deep, moist gr.ive. The registration bill has been ii Dished with iu the house at lasl aud seut over to the senate with no end of amendments. Mr. Williams'bill to make the office of State liquor com mis? ioner ^rcuiivo uy tut? peOpie^Htias alSO been pa-sod and sent to the senate. The senate has passed the Clailin college bill requiring the president and faculty to be composod of col ored men. Mr. Manning's Australian ballot biL has been killed in the house during the past week, and the eight-box electiou law has been passed. Mr. Patton's warehouse bill has also passed. The appropriation bill will doubtless come in for the lion's j share of the attention of the house this week, aud the features of the debates thereon will arise from the r1ucational institut.ou items and tbe item in regard to the Atlanta exhibit. Inasmuch a3 the attorney general has rendered an opinion under which the $6,000 eau be ap propriated for the exhibit, it will doubtless be appropriated. Tiie election of a Slate printer has to be held yet. It will proba bly oome off some day this week. AB yet the resolution providing a day for final adjournment has not been considered and acted upon, but it will probably be dis posed of before the end of the week. Of course an adjournment withiu a fortnight would leave the calendar of thc house with a good many bills thereon untouched, but they are mostly unimportant little bills which really do not amount to anything. If (he house goes ahead with its calendar with the intention of disposing of all the matters thereon before taking a fi nal adjournment, then it will take some three weeks longer to* com plete the work. Glancing back ward over the work accomplished up . > date, one fails to see where the new laws made so far will be worth the $1,000 a day it has ccst the State since January lo last, to have '.hem made. But then many of these new statutas had tobe mada under tho new Constitution. That document, however, did not make it obligatory on the general assembly to deal with so mau3' small special bills. A great deal out lo be accom plished during this week, and it should be done with the least pos sible debate. Rheumatism Cured.

African-American Gold Mining and Trading Company, IOO BROADWA Y, NEW YORK CITY. OUR COUNTRY NEEDS IT-GOLD! The principal objecte of this company are to buy, sell and operate gold mines. Perhaps you cannot afford to buy an entire gold mine, but you can have an interest in several valu able ones through us. Enormous fortunes have been made in gold min ing, but never were the opportunities greater than they aro to-day. Tho ownership of a few shares of our stock may make you rich. Some of tho wealthiest men of to-day became so through mining. The cry of the whole world is for Gold < and its value and necessity is being more fully appreciated each day. All precious mineral discoveries are practically gifts to the people. Each person is entitled to what ho can fairly get. Why not try for yourself through ? a now ? Splendid opportunies for securing great bargain! 'ii minos come to ns constantly. Our agents are re oortin? from tho gold fields of Ulis continent and from Africa. The company owns two promising properties in Cripple Creek. We propose to develop ono of the most remarkable, well-proven placer mines m tho world. It lins already produced about $3,000,000 by crude surface working, and is esti mated to contain over ?23,000,000 in gulJ. Now is tl time to invest with us. Do not wait until every man, woman and child is eager to buy tod prices havo advanced enormously. In 1SS7 tho first shipments of gold, amounting to less than 1600,000, wore made from South Africa. In 1694 the production was nearly $40,000,000. It ia estimated that works under way and contemplated will produce 8100,000,000 peryear. Less than five years ago Cripple Creek was un known as a mining camp. In 1802 it produced $200,000. It is now producing $4 ,000,000 per month. Two old men, tired out and almost hopeless, not many years since clung desperately to a small hole ia the ground which showed some traces of gold. That hole has since yielded over $2,000,000. The Idaho Mino has paid nearly $6,000,000 in dividends, the Crown Point nearly $12,000,000, the Belcher over $16,000,000. We know of no other prominent industry paying such largo dividends on capital invested as fully developed producing gold mines. The rate of 25 per cent, per annum is quita common, while phenom enal returns are made in many instances. We offer for sale 50,000 shares of our capital stock at the par value $10 PER SHARE. Payable $2 per share on application and $1 fort* nightly, beginning Feb. 1, 1896, However, those desiring to pay in full can secure certifica tea of full paid B tock at once.
