bl? explosion took place In the powd
works at Hang ('how, China, on Docom
ber 120th. Hot ween sixty and seventy
perseus lost their lives. A portion
tho powder works and seores of houses

Tho accident la attributed to the reek
leanness of tho workmen tn handling tho

Most notable of th? f?atare? of tho
annual mooting of tho Southern Educa
tional Association at Richmond, Va.,
wa? the prominence gi von to the subj oct
of technical training. Its discussion
wa? In a oertaln measure the chorus of ft
song wbloh ba? been heard a? a solo
with greater and greater froquenoy in
different part? o? tb? South, and a song
which ought to be merged tn the muslo
of hundreds of dotton mills, rolling mills,
flour mills and machine shop?. Already
such centers of Industry Ar? partici
pating In the concert by doing A little
technical training on their own account.
They are educating thousands of boy?
and girls aud young men to habit? of
industry and application and to a certain
Kielli in tho operation of tho machinery
no muoh noeded in the South. But in
'ho naturo of th lng* th oy cannot go far
enough to moot all domands. Tho cry
for industrial training made by the
Southern oduoators at Richmond means
something greater than ability to earn a
daily wage tending a machino of one
kind and another, lt ls explained by
tho suggestions boro and thore of men in
OIOHO touch with industrial oonditlons
i. id qualified to judgo of their needs.
For oxamplo, In his elaborate report of

President Hartzog goos to some troublo
to explain tho workings Of tho textile

lina's cotton orop of 800,000halos, worth,

into mercerized ohooks, at one dollar a

$800,000,000. Thon, too, President Goorge
T. Winston, of North Carolina Collogo of
Agriculture and Moohanlo Arts makes a
plea that tho rapid growth of manufac
tures In tho State, tho opening of now
Industrios, tho utilization of water
power, tho development of intensivo and
diversified agriculture, tho inoreaso in
thu number of electric plants, water
works, cold-storage plants and similar
Industrios requiring machinery aro cre
ating an increasing demand for engi
neers, draughtsmen, electricians, mach In
lets, mechanics, textile wolluns, dairy
men, stockmen and farmers whioh North
Carolina ought to supply, and wbloh tho
college in intended to hulp it to supply.
Tennessee is agitating for greater atten
tion to bo gd ven to Industrial training;
tho regents of tho University of Texas in
their last report recommend that tho
young mon of tho State bo givou facili
ties at homo for technological education,
so that a chango may bo mado in a situ
ation wbloh shows that of tho employes
in responsible positions where any me
chanical skill or technical knowlodgo is
demanded less than fi por cent aro I.at ive
Toxans, and (tovernor .Jones of Arkansas
will advocate tho passage by tho coming
legisla)ure of that State of an not pro
viding for tho establishment of a textile
school.
Tho cry ls becoming stronger. Tho
mon who hopo to gain prominence lu tho

should not dolay in hooding lt. It comes
from n strong belief that tho South, with
all its advantages, though notsufllolontly

A HUNDRED S0UL8
Snatched from the laws of Dsath by Heroic
Ufo Ssvars.
Marseille?, January ll.-All the pas
scrutera and crew of tho stranded steamer
HussLo, 102rsouls in all, were rescued
from the jaws o? death this morning by
the heroic efforts of the lifesavers,
di roc ted by Bear Admiral Ber ?on.
For four days thoso people had been
in the maw of the sea ou the Russlo,
wbloh wont aground at, Parara on on
Monday. Tho vessel was half submerged
and only'the forward part was above
Water. .
The sea ran bigh aud great waves
dashed furiously over the vessel. Tho
stranded steamer was in plain view of
the shore and tho life-savers went to
work with tho desperate oouriago for
Vf blob they are famous.
It was known that a hundred lives
were at stake, and for this prize tho
brave seamen tolled tirelessly and with
rare skill.
Tho sea ran high and no one knew
how badly the hull of the vessel was
shattorod; no one knew what moment lt
would go t o y locos.
So tho life-savors worked on, trying to
get aline to tho stranded steam or.
No pen can describo the susponso, tho
moments of hopo and tho moments of'
anguish on that vwol, as effort after
effort was mndo to roach the ehip with a
lino, and time after time tho effort
failed.
Onoo tho lino reached tho Russie, but
it parted beforo tho hausor to swing tho
brooohos buoys oould bo mado fast.
. A sooond timo tho lino shot ovor tho
vessel and was mado fast. A sooond
timo it parted.
Still tho storm had not spont its fury
and tho foroo of tho waves was not
abated. For four agonizing days the
susponso continued.
At last, at daylight this morning, tho
brooohos buoy apparatus was mado
fast to tho ship and tho rosouo bogan.
First tho children, thou tho women,
thou tho passongors, then tho orow,
woro pulled to sboro In tho brooohos
buoy that hung by a pulley whloh rolled
along tho oablo from tho ship to tho
shore.
As a motlier put hor ohild into tho
buoy and stood on tho ship, watching
tho precious burdon aa it was pulled to
tho breach above tho roaring waves by
tho stoady hands of tho seaman, no
words cnn tell tho mingled fooling* of
hopo and four, of joy and anxiety, v/hloh
agitated her bosom.
Child after ohild was pulled ashore in
tho buoy; thon tho mothers followed;
thon tho rest.
Hundreds of spectators stood on tho
beach ohooring tho rosouo nnd swarming
around tho sufforors, oagor to minister
to thoir wants, comforting tho fright
ened children and rejoicing with tho
happy parents.
At last all wore on shove, 102 of tho
passongors and orow, safo and sound,
but exhausted by four days' of agoniz
ing suspense.
At 8 o'olook this morning Admiral
Horson toi CK ra ph cd from Karani on that
everybody bad boon landed and that
none woro injured or ill, though all
woro worn by thoir terrible experience.
Alice ting scenes of rejoicing took
placo at tho offloos of tho steamship
company boro when tho nows of tho
rosouo was mado known.
The Kassie was a Frenoh mail steamer
of 023 not tons registered, and was
bound from Oran, in Algeria, for Mar
solllos. Most of tho pass <ngors nro
Fronoh oilioials from Algiers, or French
soldiers.
A special train will falto tho passon
gors of tho Mossie to Paris nt 7 o'olook
tonight.
Cut this out and tako it to Dr. J. W.
Doll's drug store and got a froo samplo
of Chamberlain's Storanoh and Liver
Tablets, tho host physio. They also
euro disorders of tho stomach, bilious
ness and headache.
Tho Century in Cotton.
William V. King, superintendent of
tho Now York Cotton Exohniigo, has
given out some interesting figur?n,
showing tho remarkable growth of tho
United States as a cotton produoing
country during tho last century. From
a orop of 0,000 halos in 1700, this nation
has expanded its production of tho
iloooy staple until now it amounts to an
average of 10,000,000 halos yonrly. Tho
following ilguros illustrates its growth
in this rognrd :
Total production. Halos.
1800-1801. 120,000
1821-1822. 525,000
1831-1835. 1,1150,000
J850-1851. 2,450,000
1800-1801..,.'.. 3,850,000
1870-1871.4,350,000
1880 1881.3,000.000
1800-1801. 8,052,000
1888-1881).11,274,000
1800-1000 . 0,430,000
Mr. King points out that the increase
In production is still moro romarknblo
If WO consider that ill 1800 tho average
weight por halo was about 225 pounds.
Dy 1820 it had increased to 200 pounds,
1840 to 305 pounds, from which period
tho weight has steadily increased until
tho present average of about 500 pounds
has boon reached.
While our produoing powor enables
ns to supply tho world with raw mate
rial, tho vapid increase of our spinning
industry is no loss a matter of prido.
In 1850 tho qunntity of cotton consumed
In this country was loss than 500,000
bales, in 1870it had increased to 1,000,000
bales, last yoar tho taking of tho mills
amounted to 8,005,000halos.
Thoso striking flguros, Mr. King
nd mit?, aro vory largely tho result of
recent industrial enterprise in tho South
And tho now oontury, ho says, begins
with n growing demand for American
cotton ill tho oriental markets, which
lomani! promises to opon a now and
important nvonuo of which our produo
?rs and manufacturers will not be slow
to tako advantage. Tho completion of
tho Nicaragua canal is all that romains
to glvo our cotton freo outrance in tho
Pnoldo islands and tho far east and this
(viii bo realized beforo tho oontury is
yory old._^ . _

cowpleted tho annual report of tho State
Board of dispensary Directora to the
?enoinl A*?onibly, through the Cover
nor. It as follows :
To HI? ?xoeUency, M. B. McSweeuoy,
Qo vor nor of South Carolina: Wo are
pleased to have the honor to submit to
you, aud through yod to tho General
Assembly, our report of tho financial
tr ans ac ti on s of the dispensary for, the
fiscal year commencing January 1, 18W,
add ending November 30, 1000, a period
covorlug eleven months. ; j
You will see, by examination of tho
data hereto attached, that our total pur
chases amounted to $1,400,280.7^, aud
that our total groM sales for the oleren
months were $2,421,840-22.
The total not profits to the State on
account of tho sohool fund aro $170,012.18.
Tho total not profite to tho counties and
towns are $208,200.28, making a total net
profit to the towns, counties an'd sohool
fund, $174,178.40.
The latest dispensary - aot, approved
February 10, 1000, made our fiscal year,
dose on November 80, whioh makes it
neoossary that this report only covers
cloven months; but should we consider
December also, and reckon a whole year,
you Will find that the total net oamings
are, for twelvo months, $500,808.79,
whioh is an inorease ovor last year's
profit of $152,080.90.
We do not attribute this phenomenal
Inorease in earnings to anyMnorease in
consumption of Honors, but think that a
bettor feeling towards tho dispensary'
law has turned tho trade to the dispen
sarlos. ,
Tho mombors of tho board feel that in
tho showing above mado thoy have much
causo for congratulation, inasmuch as
I Senator Tillman, at tho time of the incep
tion of tho institution, enthusiastically
predicted that the not profits would
aggregate $500,000 annually, whereas tb o
profits for tho past year, as will be seen
abovo, amount to the sum of $500,808,70.

Son Killed and Mother Assaulted.
Portland, Maine, January 18.-Thoo.
O. Moshior, a farmer, aged 26, was mur
dered, abd his mother, Mrs. Bufus Mo
shior, aged 72, was brutally assaulted at
'their homo in Gorham Saturday ovening
by two mon who forced an entrance into
the Moshior rosldonoo with the evident
intention of robbery. After completing
their ghastly work the men ransaokod
tho hon HO, taking what valuables they
could Hud. One of the men was anogro.
About coon to-day, Wm. Hands, a
nogro, was arrested at Soarbor?. In his :
possossion was found a blood-stained
razor, markod with Moshior's' namo, $40
in monoy, constating chiefly of bills,
wbioh wore also stained with blood, and
a wu tob. Hts hands and olothing wore
Boiled and bloody. He admits having
been at tho Moshior farmhouse and says
he loft bis companion in Portland. Tho
story of the crime, as told by Mrs. Mo
shier, is as follows :
She and her son had oaten their BUD
por when a knook was hoard at the door.
No attention was paid to it as Mrs. Mo
shior thought tho oaller might bo a man
who formerly worked on tho farm, and
who, it is said, loft under somewhat un
pleasant oiroumstancos. Soon after, tho
kitchen windows wore forced in and two
mon, ono a nogro, jumped into tho room.
Moshior grappled with tho white man
and tho nogro knocked cho woman down,
striking hor a terrible blow on tho head
with a stiok. Sho bogged for hor life,
and aftor striking her again tho nogro
wont to tho assistance of his comrade
Togetbor thoy dragged Moshior into tho
front room. Mrs. Moshicr fled to a room
off tho kitchen and hld in a oloBOt. Tho
nolso soon oeasod and tho mon wont into
tho collar for food. Mrs. Moshior thon
Hod to tho second floor, wboro sho was
followed by tho nogro, who demanded
money. She replied she had none, but
told whero sho kept hor fow valuablos.
Shortly afterwards tho negro rojolnod
his companion and Mrs. MoBhior heard
?hom opening drawers and overturning
furniture. After tho men loft tho house
sho wrappod hersolf lu a blanket and
made her way to tho home of Freeman
Richardson, who liven a quarter of a mile
distant. The police of this oity wore
notified, and going to tho farm, tho body
of Moshior was found in tho parlor cov
ered with blood and with tho hoad heaton
almost to a jelly.
In tho houso woro found two heavy
fonoo stakes, ono of which was matted
with blood and bair and had apparently
boen used to kill Moshler. Everything
of valuo was missing. Mrs. Moshior's
inj ur los, while cor lou H , are not fatal.

Mob Stormed a Kansas Jail.
Leavenworth, Kan,, January 12.-Miss
Eva Roth, a woll known young woman
of this oity, was attacked on a fashion
able rosldonoo street of this oity to-night
by a nogro named Frod Alexander.
Miss Both, who is employed at oue of
tho largo stores, was going homo and
whoa opposite tho residence of Professor
EvaiiB, of the high school, on South
Broadway, sho was mot by Aloxandor,
who seized her around the throat and
throw hor to tho ground. Miss Both
oriod for help and when Professor Evans
responded, Alexander fled. A crowd
gathored qulokly, among them a young
.colored girl, who told who the assailant
was, and Aloxandor was soon captured
?and taken to tho polioo station,
j News of tho attempted assault sproad
Uko wild fire aud in a few momenta tho
streets around the station were filled
with excited mon, determined to lynch
?ho negro.. Tbo polioo, in tho meantime,
spirited him away to tho state peniten
tiary at Lansing, and when the doors of
the station were broken open no one was
found. Misa Roth identified Alexander
as her assailant.
The polioo suspect Alexander as being
the murderer of Miss Pearl Forbes, who
waa assaulted and killed November Oth,
three blooka west of the no ono of to
night's attempt.
Wa) hall A h?a outgrown her swaddling
oin th f? and ts faot M fivgln? into a healthy
young city. Old land roarke must ?Ivo
way to the march of progress, and "The
Kicker" would suggest that the little
brick hooso in the conter of Main street
take a back seat or rather a back street.
Although hallowed memories cluster
ar?Mnd this building, and we are oarrlod
baok to the annual gatherings of the old
Mountaineer Fire Company, in gay apr
patel, preparatory to a day of happiness
lu the woods, and what big boy in ?nd
near Walhalla does not remember the
greased pole, bag and foot races, flylng
jon iy and other amusements? lt?t it
baa outlived ito usefulness, and the little
engl e has been supplanted by tho big
steam pump at the Walhalla Cotton
Mills, the pride of the town, whose gen?
ero us management is ever willing to re*
spond when the oall for aid is sounded.
Wo love the little engine for the good
she has done, and do not advise that she
be abandoned until we aoeure our splen
did waterworks (in futuro), bot let the
now oounoil remove the building to some
side street, thereby ouhanoing tho beauty
of our already magnificent thoroughfare.
. * *.
Why don't the business and profes
sional mon of Walhalla organize a busi
ness league. There is plenty of work
ahead for such an organisation, and
"The Kicker" would suggest a few
things whioh should be taken up at
once, viz: Perpetuating Semi-Centennial
Day with an annual carnival, giving the
Gun Club a big place in the programme;
inviting manufacturers c'oslring a loca
tion or wishing to remove their plante;
encouraging people to build nloe small
houses for rent; inviting every military
company in the State to go into camp
here during noxt Rummer and tender the
necessary grounds free. The Fort Motte
Guards, who spent ten days bore last
summer, were highly pleased with their
camp grounds and the treatment accorded
thom, by our people. "The Kickor"
knows that wo were pleasod to have
them with us. Would not the ' grovo at
Mr. F. W. Plopor's be an ideal spot for a
oamp of five to ten oompanlos, and the
pasture a grand place for dress parade
and base ball, and tho oreek, screened by
a board fonoo, a magnificent placo to
bathe? Lot us invite the soldier boys!
