Shoriff Hunter's Visit to tho
"City bv tho Sea" and to Old
Friends at Mt. Pleasant.
Mr. Editou.?Whilst 1 legist
being unable to attond our present
term of court, and to give my p u sonal
a'tent ion to oflicial duties,
as 1 was culled to attend the I'.
8.court in Charleston us a witness,
yet at tho same time,- it w is a
great pleasure to moot, and greet
with a cordial shake of tho hand,
many friends aftor on absence of
over four years. While my stay
was Hhort, only two days, J shook
tho hand of many, friends. Hut
it was sad to twiss tho faces of
some very special 'riends, who !
Imve passed over the river, and !
their places on earth will know j
them no more. Peace be to their |
ashes. And may blessings be bestowed
upon their bereaved families
by the Great Giver of all
things. While at Mt. Pleasant
I was most hospitably entertained
by my old, true and tried friend,
Mr. A. T. Walters, who is now a
prosperous merchant of Mt. Pleasant.
I was pleased to behold the
many improvemoats that have
taken place in that epiiet town
since I left. The electric trolley
lino and many nice now residences
have been erected. It was my
pleasure to visit twice tho Isle of
of Palms. When I resided at Mt
Pleasant it was called Long Island,
and was a great place for
fishing and hunting, hut tho splendid
beach, tho beautiful pal mettoes,
aud the excellent situation
have made it a popular Summer
resort, and apoint that attracts all
visitors to the low county. I
went too late for the Exposition,
so can add nothing about. tbnf w<>ll
written up event. I trust it may
prove helpful to Charleston yet,
in spite of all the gloomy tilings
that have been croaked about it.
Charleston at least showe' the
world what superb pluck she has.
With best wishes for the future
prosperity of the grand old City
| by the Sea, and the quiet nice
| little villago of Mt. Pleasant lam,
Very respectfully,
John P. Hunter.
Found after Four Years.
On one day last week Dr. S. W.
Pryor was surprisod when a $65
gold watch was brought to linn
which had been missing nearly four
years. Loomis McDowell, son of the
Rev. G. W. McDowell, colored,
while catching ball near the colored
Methodist church at the old
fair grounds made the find. The
ball went under-the church and he
went after it. While under there
he saw a trowel, and giving it a
kick he heard something rattle.
Upon examination he found Dr.
' Pryor's $65 gold watch just like it
* was when it went astray four years
1 ago, with Dr. Pryor's name on the
charm. The watch was brought to
' the doctor and the boy was present'
ed with $5.00 for finding and delivering
it.
? The watch was stolen from Dr.
1 Pryor's room nearly four years
ago. It was thought that it would
never be heard of again. As thore
was no clue as to the thief very little
effort was made te find it. That it
' was found in such a place after so
? long a time is quite remarkable.
1 There scorns to bo a mystery connected
with it. Someone evidently,
after stealing the watch, for fear
that he would bo caught lip with,
, made this disposition of it. The
; watch was in good order when
1 found.
> 1 Mr. W. R. Nail says that a boy
5, who finds a $65 gold watch and
t turns it over to the owner is worthy
of trust,so ho husemployed Loomis
to curry bundles. The boy is 13

Columbia Suffers a
Big Cotton Fire
I
The Old Oongareo Mill Struck l?y
Lightning UBod for a cotton
NY tire House.
The State, 27th inst. i ,
When The State wont to press ,
this morning at 51 o'clock there
was in progiess what promised to
be tho most costly lire which Col- j
mi)bin has suffered in years.
The old 11 Congareo mill '' 1
building was struck by lightning 1
last night and its entire contents, j
consisting of hundreds of bales of ;
cotton were in a state of conllagra- !
tion. Tho property is owned by i
the Columbia Mills company (tho,
duck mill), and is used as a ware.-.
house. The watchmrn at the ware
house stated to a police officer
this morning that tho mill was
struck during the storm last night,
between 10 and 11 o'clock. A.bout
midnight, while making bis rounds
he detected the odor of something
burning but could find nothing.
After 1 o'clock this morning it
was found that there was indeed a
fire in progress in the warehouse.
The alarm was given by the blowing
of locomotive whistles. The
entire tiro department from the
city responded and also the Olympia
mills department, but the
warehouso is in a somewhat difficult
place to reach and the water
supply seemed of no effect whatever.
All of tho telephones in
that vicinity wore burned out and
it was difficult to get information
as to the extent of tbo tiro but at
20 minutes to 3 o'clock tho flumes
. brush through the roof and it appeared
that the whole warehouse
and its valuable contents were
doomed.
This morning is was impossible
i to reach the mill managers to as
certain tho value of tho building
o1' the number of bales stored
therein but the loss may approximate
?100,000.

Washington, Juno 25.?The
row for pes on the isthmian canal
>i 11 reached a complete and unanm
us agreement at 2 : "?"> o'clock
his afternoon in favor of acceptng
ilic fcenato amendment which
;ontemplatcs the building of tlie
Manama canal it the nresident can
lecuro ii clear title to tint route,
rhe final conference lasted only
inlf an hour.
Before the decision was reached
Mr. Hepburn, on behalf of the
onferees endeavored to secure a
nodifieation of the senate amendnont
limiting the president to six
uonths time within which the tile
to the Panama routo is to bo
jeifected. When this failed Mr.
Icpburn made no further opposiion
and the senate amendment
vas concurred in exactly in the
drm that it passed the senate. It
vas arranged that a brief state
uent should be prepared lor pre entation
to the senate and house
tnd the conferees separated.
Tho State Has Found it Necessary
to Borrow $lO0,0'>0.
The State of South Carolina, i?s
well as tho city of Columbia, will
lavo to borrow money to meet
iccessary exbenditures ducat this
ame. Yesterday the governor
ind State treasurer arranged for
iccuring $100,000 with which to
iay the July interest on the State
lobt. It is not often that the
State has to borrow at this season
if the year, but the income has
icon slow in being sent in and it
jeeamc necessary to borrow.
The State.
John Gary Evans is complaining
of the lack of interest and
small attendance at the senatorial
campaign meetings. What else
could be expected? Why should
there lie interest or attendancej
There is no life in the meetings,
there are 110 issues disuisscd; oach
candidate simply tells of his superb
tpinliticat icons for holding:
oriicc and says he and his opponents
are agreed 011 public (pics
tions. Dull i Naturally the
meetings are dull. Thore is noth
ing to attract anybody b> a senatorial
campaign meeting, especially
one who has read a report of
the speeches, which are delivered
day after day without variation,
not even the jokes being changed.
