Edenfield Advertiser Tl??S. J. ADAM':,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, SBPI. 6. Senator Tillman is in Rhode leland this week campaigning, converting those clam eate.s to free silver. Dr. W, M. Grier, president of Er8kin College, died on Sunday laBt at his home in Due West, stricken with apoplexy. 350,000 pounds of leaf tobacco sold on the Mrrion Ware house floors last week. This is a record breaker for Marion County. Tobacco is coming to the front. The eastern counties of South South Carolina are enthusiastic over the prospects already mate rializing this year. Unfortunately our western counties are not yet in the swim. Yellow fever has broken out at Key West, Fla. There have been thirteen cases and three deaths up to date. Everything and every body has quaranteened against that little city. Well, it is about settled 1 Jas will run, Lawrence Youmans will run, and Tillman will run for the [Jnited States Senate. There will be a second race and anybody can tell who will beat in that, or rather who will be beaten. Some twenty-five years ago, Elihu Root, Alger's successor selected as a suitable motto on a frame which held a lock of John Brown's hair "A man is the spirit he works in, not when he did, but what he become." The latest informaion is that the Dewey day celebration in New York city will take place on Sep tember 29th or 30th. The admiral has notified the Washington com mittee that he will be in Washing ton on the Monday following, October 2d. The question having been referr ed toliirs by the state superinted ent of education, the attorney general has decided that county boards of education have nothing to do with the expenditure of of Bohool funds. He says the Legislature "intendend to entrust the distribution and expenditure of these funds entirely to the board of trustees.^ without tiie power on the T>art of any other officer to interfere in the exercise of this discretion." Secretary Hester's (New Orleans cotton exchange) annual report was issued today in full. He puts the cotton crop of 1898-99 at 11,274,840 bales, an increase of 74,846 over 1897-98, and says that while Texas, including the Indian Territory, shows an excess of 80, 000 bales and the group of Atlantic states, consisting of Alebama, Geogia, Florda, South Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia, increased only 9,000 bales the group of the other gulf states, consisting of Arkansas, ouisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Missouri have fallen off 414,000.

Penn & Son South Carolina has reason to be proud of the showing her cotton manufacturing makes in Secretary Hester's report for the year just ended. Not only does she still lead the southern States in this industry but she increases her lead. Her mills consumed 61,501 bales more than those of4North Carolina and 172,171 more than those of Geogia. They increased their con t sumption 16,148 bales more than bales more than North Carolina's and 52,634 more than Georgia's. They worked up 31.7 per cent, of all the cotton going to southern mills. Notwithstanding the fact that the rest of the south gained 10.8 per cent, in cotton consump tion during the year South Carolina greatly excelled it, with a increase of 17.4 per cent. Of the south's incised consumption during the year this State furnished 38.7 per cent. And the best of it is that the increase continues, assuring a ?till great supremacy for the smallest State in the south, leader of all the rest.-Columbia State. He Fooled The Surgeons.

One of tlie Survivors Tells of Casting: Lots and Sucking the Blood of One Companion. Charleston, S. C., Sept. 22.-The British steamer Woodruff, Captain Milburn, arrived from Hamburg today. August 31, two hundred h nd fifty mil es south of Charleston the Woodruff picked up Maurice Anderson and Goodmund Thoma? sen, survivors of the survivors of of the Norwegian bark Drot, wreck ed August 15, off the Florida coast. The Drot was bound from Pasca goula to BuenoB Ayres. Anderson is a raving maniac and his com panion is shockingly mutilated bites of tho crazed man. Thoma Ben tells a dreadful story. The captain of the Drot and seven seamen were swept overboard and lost in the recent West Indian hurricane. The mate and seven other men put to sea on a raft made from decking. The raft parted soon after, and the mate and one man were separated from the others. The mate's companion was landed at Philadelphia ty the German steamer Titania on August 22. He stated that the mate committed suicide. Of the six men on the other part of the raft one became crazed from ex posure and jumped into the sea. Two others exhausted from suffer ing fell overboard and were lost. Anderson, Thomasen and a German seaman, drew lots as to which one would be eaten, as none of them had had a mouthful since they took to the raft. The lot fell to the German. He was killed and the blood was sucked from his veins by the two ; survivors. Soon after Anderson lost his reason and savagely attacked his only companion. Thomasen's breast and face were bitten in j several places, chunks of good size, being torn out. Both men are now at the city hospital and the Norwegian con sul has taken the case in hand. Thomasen is a nativejof Stevauger, Norway. That Throbbing Headache. Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.
