I He Had Been in Bad Healtb?New j Law Changing Time for Holding j Couit.- in Seventh Circuit Gets Lawyers Tangled. Spartanburg, March 3 -The friends of Dr. Bivings now say he was crazy when he committed the awful deed of ! Tuesday afternoon. It is only on j this hypothesis that they can account ! for his actions. T. J. Trimmier had j been peihaps the best fiiend he had ' - - ? m I in the world and be bad made u 1 in - j mier's book store bis headquarters i for a year or more. Mrs. Biviug3 i states that Mr. Trimmier had always J treated her in a perfectly gentlemanly manner and she had not seen him since just before the Christmas holidays. If Mr. Trimmier had ever said anything derogatory about Mrs. Bivings to anybody it has not yet been divulged. Such seems incredible, for Mrs. Bi\ings is above re proach and is highly respected by all who know her. Bivings' health has been bad for several months and he had given up the practice of dentistry, j Mrs. Bivings stated to a reporter that ? on the afternoon before the tragedy a physician had stated to her t! at j her husband was suffering from j mental aberation. These facts, taken ; together with his actions in the j telegraph office both before and after i the shootiDg, cause some to doubt | his sanity. If this be not the case a j cause for the deed ha3 yet to b? ! found. \ 1Tct7 Ss tho Timo To purify your blood with Hood's j Sarsaparilla. March, April, May are } the trying months of the year.

The Camden Messenger reminds j its readers that "a good deal of the i . dissatisfaction with Governor Elleibe comes from the politicians/' Our in I formation is that Governor Ellerbe j has the support of most of the State ! officials?all except perhaps three. At least one of the United States j senators is believed to be friendly to j his rp.pipfition and oerhaps both. The ! superintendent of the penitentiary j is supposed to bo an Ellerbe man. i Indeed, we have good reason to be- j lieve that Governor Eilerbo is the j candidate of most of the persons who j draw salaries from the State treasury i in Columbia. Far be it from us to insinuate that any of these gents are politicians.?Greenville News. Indeed, does the Greenville News "have good reason to believe that Governor Ellerbe is the candidate of most of the persons who draw salaries" as members of the general assembly recently iu session in Culumj bia? j We are told from Columbia that "already a drove of candidates has I appeared in the field after tho ofiiee I of Governor." Why ibis "drove of candidates" for the Governor's office? Is the dissatisfaction among the masses of the people in the "judgment" of the j Greenville News so wide-spread with I reference to Gov. Eileibe as to cause this rush for the executive chair, or is it the design of the people deseiibed by the News as "certain wicked ones who design to make maityrs" of the "ins" who are "ihe people" according to the News, or are they politicians seeking their own preferment? There is doubtless some dissatis| faction with Gov. Ellcrbe's administration, but we insist that a good deal of it originates with the politicians. Does the News not remember saying only recently that it regretted to see a number of persons offering for W. ZEZ r, Solicts a Share of Governor who were not worthy of it.' j ' " ? f.J Are 811V 01 loose [;ei?uua iviwiw.. . by the News politician^'? How* did j tbeir getting in the race come about.' !

A part of Mrs. Haynes" letter reads as follows: "I wrote to you in May, I was about to give it up. for I had the best four doctors in the city and they could v?3 not cure me. My ^ y disease was ft - -jjt male weakness. I had been trou bled with it for 'J f\V - v five years. Four / ). 'j /? and a half but- 'v ' ties of Pe ru-na cured me.

The Fertiliser Tas ia Supreme Court. Most of the Southern States Arc Interested?Constitutionality is attacked?Companies Claim but 1-5 Amount Collected is Necessary to "Inspect.v Washington, March 3.?A ease, the decision of which will affect the laws of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia^ Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and other Southern States, was argued in the United States Supreme Court today. Iu North Ciroliua and other States there is what is known as the "commercial fertilizer tax" imposed by the State on fertilizer companies selling products to these States. It is claimed by the State authorities that the tax is imposed merely for inspection purposes, but the companies claim only one-fifth of the amount collected is realiy necessary for such inspections. The claim is made that no article shipped frcm one State to another can bo taxed ex- j cent bv the United States. The I A. %/ State of North Carolina last year collecitd between ?30,000 and ?10,000 j by this tux. The case was argued j 12 months ago before the Supreme j Court, but the court ordered a re- j argument before a full bench. The attorneys in the case are Col. John Hinsdale and Mr. Thomas N. Hill for the fertilizer manufacturers, and Messrs. R H. Rattle, F. H. Rusbee and J. C L. Harris for the State of North Carolina. Mr. Hill opened , , i tne case today. I The attorneys for the State will ; speak tomorrow and Col. Hinsdale i will close the case for the complainants. Hicrh Living in Georgia. | ?

Extraordinary Disclosures -Burnings and Burglaiies Been Going ou for Month?, Almost Openly?No Telling Who Are Implicated. Special to the Sute. Pomaria, S. C, March 3.?uThe bottom has been knocked out"' of Pomario, and the war in Cuba is j placed in (he background for the time being. It is well known the most daring robbers, wanton burning of buildings h sve bcoa going on here for years and little attention seems hacn oicnn it. as all thought VU iiu ? v wv* M - t it was a bund of "home raised Jesse James," ami Done eared to strike for fear of bring struck back. So bold and daring bad (bis become that good white men saw parties drive in the place in the bright moonlight or early dawn rob and leave without j even reporting the matter or names, I however well were the parties known, ! for fear of bodily injury or secret j hurt. First, E. It. Hipp's store was burned, robbed first, it was thought. Then the lailroad depot wa9 forcibly entered nud wagon loads taken: then Setzler & Co.'s robbed of scve- ! ral hundred dollars' worth. Then again the Southern railroad. At this time a detective came, se- j cured a large lot of the stolen prop- i erty, but by a pernicious practice and methods of the railroad, "better compromise and get money than to j punish the culprit," the matter was hushed, although some of the "best i citizens," or so supposed, were iru- j plicated. Then came the burning of Col. j Hollo ways gin house and other buildings. Then the last, by which it is hoped | the parties are trapped and broken | up, was that two weeks ago. D. j Hipp's large store of plantation sup- j plies was robbed. Mr. Hipp lay ap- i parently quiet, but a detective, in ' the guise of a "picture enlarger," came upou tho scene. He found a wagon load and two buggy loads of the stolen goods in the house of Mr. A. F. Riser, a former clerk; also in ! the barn 40 kegs of blasting powder belonging to the railroad. This was ; in a house near the railroad built for that purpose. The house was burned, and, it waa supposed, the powder, j too, until its finding. Mr. Riser lived with his father, a most estimable ci- ! tizen and a stiict churcu member; a well to do farmer. Goods of a small nature were found in other houses of men of good repute. So far the authorities have arrested A. F. Riser and brother, a Mr. Bicklcv and several negroes, one the renowned "blind tiger" and "dispensary enemy," Yillius Baker. There is do particle of doubt that there are a large number interested, and what is so astonishing, so much so, as to border on disbelief, is that some of the most wellto-do farmers, men of families and strict church members, some even of wealth, are thought to be implicated, and should any one "peach" on his pals, then, in that case, I can only say "the enu is not yet." The question the good people are asking each other is: "Whither are we drifting," when some of our best men are turning robbers and firebugs. I\AM?S t?i' i tiu??. Newberry, March 3 ?James A. Riser and his three sons, Albert F., Joe and Willie, and John Bickley, white, and Wiss and William Baker, colored, where arrested today at Pomaria, this county, charged with robbing the store of D. Hipp at Porn aria. The case was worked up by the Detective IJclloway and the stolen goods was found in possession of all. Riser and his sons stand well in the country. In default of ?(?o0 bond they were committed to jail for trial noxt weekD:n't. If there ever was a time whe u reason and common sense combined to thunder don't, at the farmer who persists in the foolish policy of planting a big crop of cotton to 1 ho neglect of his grain crop, that time is now.

The Columbia Evening Record, of ATarch 4'h, delivers the following blow straight from the shoulder and . hits above*the belt: Some of the South Carolina papers j have lost their mooriDgs.

London, March 4.?Spain ha^ purchased two cruisers which the Armstrongs have been building fur Brazil, the Amazonia and sister ship, unnamed, of 4,0<H) ions each, '2'> knots lud 10 guns. Spain is also negotiating for and ill i r jbably secure two cruisers of i similar type which have been buildng in TTai ce for Ihozil. The Amazonia is ready for launchag and her sister ship will scon be. The Spanish government is also endeavoring to secure guns and large supplies of ammunition in England nd on the continent for immediate use. The government of Spain seems to jave funds, for it is understood to be paying a large part of the purchase money in cash, giviug good security for the balance, these being the only terms upon which the Armstrongs would deal. Some weeks ago Spain attempted to purchase ships ai d supplies in Mngland 011 credit from prominent firms having close relations with the government, but after inquiries the - I ^ I' j COLT'MHIA, S. C.,| I I o. t. Wr I - < firms refused to give credit. Since 5 than Spain has raised funds from uir , i known sources. v , Diplomats in London express the j belief that French finuueies are help j ing the Spanish government, t It is known that Spain is 117ing to c purchase three otlicr ships which are , being built by the Armstrongs; but s 1 she has not y(t succeeded in making u a bargain, consequently there is still time if the United States wishes to j. : forestall her. The United States could also fore- ? ! stall Spain in the purchase of other t [ ships building in Kugliah and continental dockyards. f While Chili denies that any of theTl< ships ordered for that country are I for sale, it is believed by naval con- C structors that Chili's best cruiser, the t (V Iliggins, which is just finished, t j< could be purchased. ( s(,?i*ai?ron i'ou crr.A.

Flow the Federal Appropriation for This Branch of the Service Will Be Expanded in This State. The general government makes an i e ~ r\ /\ < w\ t ippropiiauon 01 j?-hf,uuu annually for the naval militia. Gen. John Grary Watts has been informed that South Carolina's share of this appropriation will be ?1,641.30. Thig noncy will be used in buying supplies for the naval militia and improving its equipment. Gen. Watts has purchased two exicllent cutters for the use of the naval nilitir. One of these cutters will be tationed at Beaufort and the other t Charleston. The South Carolina naval militia i composed of three companies, 18 otnmissioned officers, 24 non-comuissioned officers aud Ml privates, a otal of 183. The three companies are the Beauort Artillery, the Lafayette artil?ry and the Ciiicora rifles. The j ifayettes are in Charleston, and the ;mcoras r.t Jiouut neasant across lie bay from Charleston. They will jintly use the cutter stationed in Charleston. Iu case of war with Spain or any tlier country with a navy, the naval ailitia would be among the first put i service, and it is a matter of pride hat South Caroliua has a well drilled nd well cquiped naval militia. _ .
