Teacher Shoots Pupil. Spartonburg, February 25.-A very unfortunate affiiir occurred at Inman lato yesterday afternoon, in which Edward Foster, tho eighteen year-old son of Gabe Foster, was shot and probably fatally injured by bis school teacher, W. B. Pitts. Both parties to the trouble are agreod upon these facts : Several days ago Pitts had occa sion to administer floggings to threo pupils of his school. This incensed tho young men against tho teacher, and they agreod to suffer no chas tisement in the future. Pitts heard of such an agreement and on the morning of tho day which the shoot ing occurred he took his pistol to sohool with him, as tho boys are strong, sturdy fellows, while Pitts is of slight build and delicate. In the afternoon he called Foster after school hourn, telling him that it was necessary to administer a whipping and proceeded to lay on the switch. Tho boy grabbed the teacher. The latter, in ordor to frighten him, so he says, pulled the pistol. Foster caught the weapon, causing it to fire. Tho bullet entered Foster's abdomen, ranged downward and is considered very serious. Later-Pitts has been lodged in jail. Young Foster diod Frt*%y morning. CAP?BW1 Cures COLDS, LA GRIPPE and all HEADACHES, etc. Sold at all DRIP* Stores. An Interview with Senator McLaurin.

Guadalajara, Mexico, February 25. -Colima voloano, which broke forth in a violent eruption last evening, is still aotive. The lava which is flow ing dov n the mountain side has al ready devastated many farms in the cultivated valleys at its base, and the inhabitants for 50 milos around are terrorized. All last night explosions ooourred at intervals within the voloano and frequent earth tremblings added to the terror of the peoplo. The fires in tho crater wore retleoted on the dark pall of smoko which overhangs the mountain and the brilliant spec tacle oould bo seen for 10?T miles. Poisonous gas, similar to that which destroyed St Pierre, was emit ted from the voloano last evening, but was swopt off seaward at a great height from the earth. The earth quake shooks have done considerable damngo to buildings in the cities of Colima, Tuxpan, Tonita, Autlan and othor towns of that section. Many people aro leaving the port of Man zanillo through fear of a tidal wave. Tho people, terrified by the belch ing flames and pouring lava, are seeking refuge in distant towns and villages. The city of Tuxpan, in the State of Jalosco, continues under a heavy cloud of smoke. The voloano is alight with flames. The new erup tion yesterday afternoon has inoruasd the general fear. Tbcro is not muoh alarm in the city of Colima, but fears aro felt for tho farmers in tho neighborhood of the volcauo. -.

A man who answered advertise ments in cheap "story papers" has had some interesting experiences, says an exchange. Ile learned that by sending $1 to a Yankee he could get a cure for drunkenness.

Being young, he wished to marry, and sent 84 1-oent stamps to a Chicago firm for information as to how to make an impression. When tho answer carno it read, "Sit down on a pan of dough." It was a little rough, but be was a patient man, and thought ho would yet succeed. Next adver tisement ho answered read, "How to double your money in six months." Ho was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and he would iee his money doubled. Next he sent for twelve useful household irtiolos, and he got a package of needles. Ho was slow to learn, so tie sent a dollar to find out how to a;ot rich-"Work like tho devil and iiovor spend a cent." And that {topped him, but his brother wroto Loo find out how to write a letter without pon or ink. Ho was told to use a lead pencil. Ho paid %\ to learn how to live without work, md was told on a postal card to "fish for ?uckers as wo do."

Handling High Explosive?. lt takes some nerve to toy with eternity every day and go to work every morning with the thought that you may come home at night to your sorrowing family in a basket. There j are men who faoe death six "days oui, of seven and think nothing of it, ; and it is death of the most horriable kind. TheBe men handle the dyna mite and nitroglycerin which are used in blasting rook in the diff?rent qnarries, and they pay but little heed to handfuls of high explosives done up in yellow wrapping paper. Those mon aro experts in their trade and hold the position of fore man of the various gangs who do .the drilling and blasting. They are ' young men mostly, the trade not be ing conductive to old age. They begin as assistant foreman and re main suoh until a premature crash oauses a vaoanoy. At first the fear of high explosives is drilled into them until they regard the sawdust? lined boxes with horror. But in a few months they become accustomed to their trado and handle the big sticks of dynamite as a boy handles i a big firecracker. They claim that dynamite is not such a terrible thing, i after all, unless you eat it, and then 1 it will give you a violent headaohe. ! Dynamito ?B an unoertain quantity, however, and aots differently at dif- ] feront,.limes. It burns without an t explosion aud oan even be dropped on the ground without going off, but this is not a safe experiment to try. Let a stick be stroked with a pieco of metal, however, and if the i man who does it wishes to communi- ] with his friends he will have lo uso , a long-distance telephone. Nitro- , glycerine is almost an unknown . quantity, and even the most hardened ? quarryman handles it with the ut- < most care. Anything will explode , it, and many men have been strewn , ovor tho landscape through its offices, i In loading a whole with dynamite < various methods are used, but the ? most popular one is to put the ex- j plosive into the hole quietly and then , press it in even more gently with a ) stick. When the hole has been al- \ most filled tho percussion oap at tached to a thrity-second fuse is put ? in and then a bit more dinamite put < in on top of it. The whole charge is ( thon covered w i th a little sand and f a match touched to the fuse. While this is being done the sonaof sunny Italy have been seeking the long grnss and tall trees for safely. Each one yells "Fire !" at the top of his j voice as ho runs, and just beforo the blast goes off there is nothing to bo j Beon but the Hoeing foreman. After ^ tho crash and when the showers of j rook have subsided to some extent the } sorrowing foroman goes in search of . Italians. Ho finds them peacefully j slumbering or talking in tho . woods, and when told to go back to work j each asks in a curious tone if the ( blast has gone off. It was heard in t the three adjoining counties three j minutes beforo. Strange things are apt to happon bo the little tin box in whioh the sticks are kept. This box is placed j carefully in the tool box each night ^ and the keys of both boxes are placed deep in tho pocket of tho foreman J during the night. Wild adventures j often take place near the boxes, and . one o? the foreman told of the narrow ( esoapo which a gang of men under him had this spring. The dynamite was used freely during tho day, and i some loose sticks of it were left \n the 1 bottom of tho'big tool box. Whon l tho 6 o'clock whistle blew the Italians ; flocked to tho tool box like homing pigeons. Tho men began to throw their picks and orowbars into tho box at long range. Just then tbe foreman carno on the scone and yelled at them to stop, as ho dove behind the nearest tree. No one knows why the whole gang was not blown into bits. It was just one of the strange freaks of dynamite. Of course, as dynamito and "jelly" aro not allowed to be carried on the trains they never are, but there aro Bomo h. .cresting timeB for men who Bit in a soat holding a bag in their arms during tho entiro journey. One local foreman said he took a trip a while ago in a crowded oar, and if any ono had hit his traveling bag no one on tho oar would have roached the next station collectively.

Westfield, one of Greenville's most prominent citizens, was seri ously stabbed this morning by Bud Lewis, the negro, porter at the Man sion House. Captain Westfield, it seems, had gone to MoBee avenue to collect rent from the negro. Lewis handed Captain Westfield a five dollar bill and asked for tho ohange. The only witness, a negro boy, Bays that Capt. Westfield told him that he would give him the ohange up at his cf?oe, and- that thereupon the negro drew a knife and stabbed Captain Westfield three times. One wound is in tito right shoulder, one tn the abdomen and one near the spine. Captain Westfield was found in a vaoant lot near Lewis' home by a carrier of tho Greenville Herald. Ph y H?C i mm were at once sum moned and the injured man given every possible attention. Dr. W. C. Biaok, who dressed the wounds of the injured man, says that while the wounds are very serious they will not prove fatal. The negro made good his escape and had not been captured up? 4 o'olook this afternoon. The Affair bas created a big sensation, Captain Westfield being one of the most prominent men in the business and social world here. Wreck on the C. and G. Columbia, February 24.-There was a wreck on the Greenville and Columbia road last night about mid night, at Cane Creek, near the looks, and several freight oars and two hun Ired feet of trestle were burned.

When Seflfttor MoLaurin, of Mh? sisB?ppi, was elected for tbe first time he was visited by a negro in his district who wanted a job in tho government printing ofiioe at Wash ington. The new Senator know him to be a good man, so he wrote to tho publio printer, Mr. Benedict, asking that tbe man be appointed. He told the negro to meet bim in Washing ton. When Mr. MoLaurin arrived he went to Mr. Benediot's office to see about another matter. The publio printer was talking to a large and imposing looking negro. Ile turned to greet the new Senator and, after exchanging a few words with him, said : By the way, you wrote to mo recommending a negro for appoint ment, did you not ?" Instantly it flashed into Mr. Mc Laurin's mind that tho colored man sitting beside Mr. Benedict ...?d in somo way obtained possession of his man's introduction oard and palmed himself off as tho candidate.
