WETNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 20, 1899.
"Yesterday afternoon three of the linotype
operators of trie State force took a ti ip to the
rock quarry on asight seeing expedition. On
arriving: they noticed some uegroes running:
awav. but not knowing the cause of their
haste, they wen' on until hailed by one of
the hands with the cry of 'Fire in the hole.'
Th^y immediately decided that theirabscnce
from the spot would be beneficial t"> their
health and forthwith sped away. However
if came very near proving serious for one of
them for a good siz-'d pieoe of granite fell
within about a foot or him and embedded
itself in the earth As a result of the shock
'Slug 2' had on a sub' last night.''?Columbia
State. Friday, September 15.
Evidently the State's "soaking
idea" must have again escaped from
its keepers and its disappearance was
n )t discovered until the fleeing shadow
had passed the limits of the city and
entered tbe granite studded mils 01
Lexington. The alarm was giveD
and pursuit must have commenced
immediately in which the composi
tors down to the devil strove with
each to first catch up with tbe loss
darliDg of tbe grief stricken State.
Faster, hotter and most furious grew
the chase and "Slug 2,'' being fleeter
of foot and haviDg more stamina
than his companions, outstripped
them in the chase and was the first
to catch sight of the "idea." But
alas! in the hour of triumph, in the
moment when the laurel wreath was
about to be placed upon his heated
brow and the excited populace was
about to greet him with a victorious
shout, the "idea" bursted and "Slug
2" bad to put on a "oub" that night.
We grieve with the State in the loss
of its "idea," and in the course of
time, should it ever be so furtunate
as to possess another "ideav it should
be put in a double barred, doubled
locked padded room with grated windows
so as to prevent it from roaming
all over the country.
Labor troubles still continue to
disturb the miniDg interest of West
Virginia and Illinois. The bone of
contention in the former State is be
tween capital and labor over the mat
ter of wages. The miners demand
an advance of wages which the mine
owners refused and the m?n have
gone out on a strike. In Illinois
thte trouble seems to have arisen over
an attempt on the part of the mine
owners to supplant white labor with
negro labor. Race riots are of frequent
occurrance and the negroes
have suffered bodily injury and loss of
life at the hands of their brethren in
white. A strange feature about the
race riots which occur up North is
the painful silence of the Northern
press concerning them. There is no
wave of indignation; no word of condemnation,
and no white fanatic in
petticoats rushing to the scene of mur
der and addiDg fuel to the flames by
incendary speech and action. Bat lei
some white man in the South shoot 8
brute who had invaded the sanctitj
of his home and insulted his womeE,
folkand at once a howl is* raised
up North over an alleged Southern
outrage.
The consultation between Attorney
General Bellinger and Col. Neal, late
Superintendent of the State Penitentiary,
wa9 barren of results. Col
Neal claims a number of credits
which should have been given him,
but which were disallowed by thp
Investigating committee and the
Attorney General insists that the Col
must pay the whole sum named by
the committee which it alleges is
due the State. The matter will now
go into the courts for final settle
. ment.
Maryland has strongly protested
against the policy of the administration
in its studied efforts to humiliate
.? Admiral Schley by appointing him to
the command of the South Atlant'c
squadron which is declared to be uncommensurate
with his dignity and
service he had rendered duriDg the
a C* ?
American opauisii war.
The National Democratic Exccu- 1
tive Committee has organized for <
campaign work and propose to carry i
on an aggressive warfare against the j
Republican party and its doctrine of 1
imperialism. Iq an address it urges
the Democrats of Kentucky to sup- (
port the regular nominees and get ]
together to win a victory. <.

"I was suffering with what the doctors called
chronic indigestion, torpid liver, and vertigo." I
writes Mrs. Martha K. Barham. of Xewville,
Prince George Co.. Va. "The doctor did me 1
no good. My symptoms were giddiness in .
the head, pains in the chest and an nneasv J
feeling all over. I also suffered with female
weakness.
" I was all run-down and could not do any
work at all without suffering from nervous at- <
tacks. I wrote to Dr. R V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
X. Y.. for advice. He advised to use Dr. Pierce's I
Golden Medical Discovery and ' Favorite Prescription.'
I did so. and used five Bottles of j
each, and I cannot express the benefit I have
received from these medicines. I gained in J
health and strength. When I commenced to
use the medicines I weighed only 112 pounds. (
now I weigh 140 pounds. I thank God and
Dr. Pierce for mv recovery. My husband ami <
friends all thought I would" die but to-day 1 am

The wonderful effects of this great " Dis- .

In case of constipation, there is nothing

Coiton Tested By Fire.
Experiments at Lowell Show the Advantage
of Aoierican Rjundlap
Bales.
The Roundlap bale of the American
Cotton Cj , the Lowry bale of
the Planters' Compress Company,
and an ordinary square cotton bale
were subjected to a thorough-going
fire test in Lowell, Mass., June 8tb,
by the Associated Factory Mutual
Fire Insurance Companies of the
United States, for the purpose of determining
the relative fire hazards ( f
the several methods of baling cotton.
Two small frame houses, exactly
alike, and some distance apart had
been erected on a vacant plot and
the space beneath them filled with
boards and cotton waste, over which
ten gallons of coal oil were poured.
Ia one building eight American
Roundlap bales and one square bale
were stored. In the other, eight
Lowry bales and one square bale.
The torch was applied and the
flames were permitted to burn one
hour before being extinguished. It
was as hot a blaze as cotton could
well be subjected to. There was no
test of the square bale, owing to the
fact that when the superstructures
collapsed, which they did a few minutes
after being fired, one of the
square bales fell away from the
flames and then the other was removed.
It was evident and "generally conceded
that the American Roundlap
bale stood the test much better than
the Lowry bale. Nearly all the
wires on the Lowry bales were burn^
4 KaI An nl nn r?n f f rr\ m
ca uii uuu IUC uaico CIUJU^UILU Aivui
from their original leEgtb of 3 feet
to G feet and over. This exposed
the cotton in the Lowry bales to the
flames which were eating into tie
bales at many points when the fire
was put out. Two of the Lowiy
bales broke in two and were more
badly burned than the others.
The American bales stood up
splendidly under the severe oideal.
They neither unrolled nor extended
in length, and only the outer surfaces
exposed to the intense fLme were
burned. This latest test, was only
another triumph for the American
Cotton Company's Roundlap bale.
The cotton saved from the fire will
be carefully picked over and the
balvage reclaimed will be weighed.
It was 6tated by underwriters
present at the Lowell fire test that,
at a secret test recently made as to
tha ability of the two different styles
of round bales to withstand the
action of water, after being sub
merged for some time the wires on
the Lowry bales had burst and none
of the Lowry cotton was recovered
from the test. The American Company's
bales came out intact and wet
only on tne exterior, wnicn soon
dried, leaving the cotton a9 good as
ever.
A Trustee cn the Chart Question.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in your
columns to say a few words concerning
the chart question.
If all the trustees were trea'ed t s
my loird were I think we would bs
perfectly justifiable in refusing to
pay for them. When the agent came
through my country the first time he
did not 9ee either one of my board
and in a few weeks he came back
aod said he had missed our school
when he first came through and said
the County Superintendent had seLt
bim back and showed us a recom
mendation from the State and County
Boards of Education, and having no
sample we bought on their recom
m udation. But we found afterwards
be h id lied about the whole busiuers
We then tried to countermand thDrder,
but the chart came anyhow, i
but not according to his contract. ]
His contract was to send the chart
md four maps, but only one map
;ame. I have had the opinion of *
some good teachers on the matter
tnd they thought $10 a big price for '
he outfit in a common school.
"We would like to hear from the
valance of the trustees who bought (
