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.

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.
All doctors told Renick Hamil
ton, of West Jefferson, O., after
Buffering 18 months from Rectal
Fistula, he would die unless a
costly operation was performed ;
he cured himself with five boxes of
Buckles's Arnica Salve, the surest
Pile cure on Earth, and the best
Salve in the World. 25 cents a

AFLOAT ON A BATT
WITH A MANIAC.
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.

Europe Troubled.
The whole of Europe is in a
state of strife and rebellion. Spain :
just had a dose of modern warfare.
Russia, Germany and Great Britian
have their fleets in Chinese waters.
The United States, Germany and
England are having trouble in
Samoa, and it is said that Uncle
Sam and John Bull have formed
an alliance. If this is true, it will
pay Germany to give attention to
home affairs. Just so it will pay
you to paint your dwelling and
outbuildings and add to the at

Bobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by him
as follows : "I was in a most dread
ful condition. My skin was almost
yellow eyes sunken, tongue, coated,
pain continually in ) ack and sides,
no appetite-gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three phy
sicians had given me up. For
tunately, a friend advised trying.

my great joy and sur-prise,
the first bottle made a decid
ed improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they
saved my life, and robbed the grave
of another victim. No one should
fail to try them. Only 50cts.

Col. W. A.Neal, ex-superintend
ent of the penitentiary, was brought
to Colombia last Tuesdap night
from PickenB, in custody of
Constable Roach. Col. Neal re
quested that he be allowed to give
bond Wednesday, and this was
finally agreed to. He went to a
hotel and spent the night. The
specific warrant under which he
was arrested is that he has not, con
trary to law, turned over to his
successor $549.63 collected on
convict contracts from Fowler &
Hammond, and for which he gave
receipts.
After several attempts Wednes
day at securing bondsmen, finally
at half-past two o'clock, Capt.
W. B. Lowrance, a former of the
House from Richland, and Mr.
Geo. A. Shields, a wetl-kuowu
iron foundryman, consented to and
go on Col. Neal's bond for $3,5000,
thereby relieving the situation.
