S1HMU MAY and July options on cotton went up to 17 oente on the New Orleans ex change last Saturday-and several minor operators "went up in a balloon." "TUEUR bas been Borne kind of a breaking-out' among our peoplo for two or three weeks past, which is called al most anything from small-pox down to itoh," says the Franklin (N. C.) Press. Better scratch around a bit and lind out positively what it is. IT is alleged now that the Standard Oil Company is in full and complete con trol of the Beaumont oil fields. Suits have been filed in the District Court against half a dozen companies for vio lation of the Texas anti-trust laws, the penalties, it is Btated, aggregating over $318,000. _ WILLIAM C. WIIITNKY, former Secre tary of tho Navy under President Clove land, and oue of the best known men in tho country, died yestorday afternoon in New York from tho effects of an oper ation for appendicitis. Ho was promi nently mentioned as ono of tho probable nominees of tho Democratic party for tho Presidency. TIIK Claytou Tribu? e announces that they aie to have electric lights and water-works. Wo congratulate our littlo cousin up in tho mountains. Walhalla ought to havo bad electric lights and water-works years ago. Why not go to work aud get them yet b?foro ('lay ton? A little fiiondly rivalry ?Basplendid thiug-it stimulates when nothing else will. _ A BILI, was recently introduced in the South Carolina Legislature requiring the railroads to carry judges and sheriffs free when on official business. We suggest that tho author of tho bill bo caught, caged and put on exhibition, and wo do not doubt that the railroads will trans port bira freo of charge to tho varions Street carnivals, State fairs and exposi tions as they may be announced. LAST week 1?,S?72 barrels of boer, worth about $25,000, woro emptied into the Hudson rivor by Mrs. Josephine Schmidt, proprietress of the Schmidt brewery. This was done because sho had gained control of tho Conrad Stein brew ry and would not sell anything but her own brow. Roughly estimated, there wore something over 8 000,000 glasses of beer turned into the Hudson. It's dollars to doughnuts that Henry Hudson aud his Dutch exploring party groaned in spirit. BAXTKR & Co., ono of the largest brokerage firms in this country, suc cumbed to the "bullish" tendencies of tho cotton market last Saturday. The firm was capitalized at $3''0,000, and had 138 branches in impoitant cities over tho country. Failure of their customers to respond to tho heavy demands for "mar gin" on outstanding contracts when cot ton soared above 17 cents is given as the cause for their embarrassment, which is said to be only temporary. Baxter <& Co. controlled 80,000 miles of leased wires and paid $30,000 a month in tolls to tele graph companies. Mus. M IYBRI0K, who was several years ago convicted in England of mur dering her husband, has at last boen par doned and released. Tho . evidence brought out at the trial was purely cir cumstantial, and, it is claimed, very weak. The judge who passod tho sen tence of lite imprisonment stated that the sentence was imposed, "not so much because, she was convicted of murder as because she was an unfaithful wife." The caso bas attracted much attention and numerous petitions and documents have buen sont to England from this country seeking her release. It is stated that Mrs. Maybrick will return to this country and take up her residence in Louisiana. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets Unequalled for Constipation. Mr. A. R.

They aro suro in action and with no tendency to nauseate or gripe. For salo by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lummy, Soneca. What the Legislature is Doing. Columbia, January 20.-Tho House to day, by a vote of 52 to 4H, killed the com mittee bill providing for ten circuit courts. By a vote of Ort to 30 the Debruhl bill, to separate tho civil court from ibo ses sions court, was killed. Tho last stand was made on tho Magill bill, which also provided for ton circuits. This was killed by a voto of ">2 to 48. Nearly the entiro day was spent on i hese bills. Tho loss of them was caused by the fact that the Legislature, though recognizing the necessity of some relief measures, could not agree upon any plan. Among tho bills favorably reported was ono to chango tho salary of the chief justice and associate justices from $2,850 to $3,500. Columbia, February 1.-There will bo three moro weeks of the session. During that timo thero will be quito enough to occupy tho attention of both branches. None of tho three appropriation bills bas beou passed, and it requires fully a week to disp iso of thom. This Legislature has distinguished itself already, for two now pieces of legislation, tho shad bill and the biennial session referendum. Theso matters havo been fought out year after yoar and have failed regularly. A now proposition favored by the llom.e this year is the creation of 121 scholarships at Clemson, each of the value of $100. This will require an addi tional appropriation. Tho laudable ob joct of the bill is to give these scholar ships to deserving poor boys. Whether or not this can be accomplished remains to be seen. Another measure of some importance which passed the House last week was Mr. Whaloy's bill to regulate tho assess ment of taxes on building and loan asso ciations. This will bo dono in such a manner that it ia equivalent to an ox om pl ion. Sonatdr Brlco'a bill to amend tho dis pensary law ao that communities may vote ont dispensaries, after they havo been established, ls alao a special order this week. What Aro They?

Columbio, February S.-Editors Cou rier: Last year when wo borrowed $18,860 from tho Sinking Fund Com mlealou, with whloh to pay the book In debtedness, lt waa thought that there would be no more bock U Jebtednese after that Tho old adage says, "man proposes and Uod dispones." We ex pected that this Legislature wouM be onlled upon to make some provision for tho new iudebteduess oaused by the ter rible Hoods of last summer, but it bas bon a paiuful surprise that the amount of the past iudebteduess to be met at thia session should bo so large. In look ing up tho estimates furnished the Comp troller (ienoral by our County Board of ('(mimiaainnprs, w?? find the past in debtedness fixed at $24,000 for tho yoar 1008-that is, there is a new iudebted uess of $24,000 that must be provided for; and it is estimated that a levy of 8 mills will bo required to meet this debt. Another 8 mills is asked for for roads and bridges. Perhaps it will be of pub lic interest to give the estimate fur nished. Here it is. KSTlftfATK OF BXI'ENHKS.

Whore there used to bf a feoling of Uneasiness and worry in tho household when a child showed symptoms of croup, there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Chamber lain's Cough Romedy in tho treatmout of that disease. Mrs. M. I. Ranford, of POOlesville, Md., in speaking of her ex perience in the use of that remedy, says; "I have a world of confidence in Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, for I havo used it with perfect success.

It has been au unusually long time since Seneca enjoyed an entertain | ment of this ?md, and a liboral patron age is thorefore confidently assured. The sympatly of our citizens waa aroused last Friday afternoon wheo the nows of the accidental killing of Paul Campbell reached town. Tho aili lotion com es doubly heavy on his parents, Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Campbell, when we re member that they lost by illness a grown son lees than a year ago. The young man, with a friend, were out hunting and decided to stop in an out-bulldlng, whore thoy proposed to build a fire and warm.

Ry this union will be connected two of tho oldest and most prominent families of the county, and ? rdso two of its most popular young poo ple.
