SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? The Columbia Kegister prints a story t< the effect while in the penitentiary in July 1891, Wade Haines confessed the murder o Miss Florence Hornsby to two convicts. Th< story is based on the statement of the con victs, but The Kegister thinks there is n< doubt about its correctness, and says thai Haines will surely hang next Friday. ? Governor Tillinan has appointed a com mission, consisting of three Charleston phy sicians and two businessmen, to inquire int< and report on the sanity of Napoleon Lavellc the Charleston wife murderer. Lavelle's fate will depend upon the report ot the com mission. The examination is be made to morrow. ? Governor Tillman says that the Stat( will, not pay the fine of Sheriff Nance, o Abbeville, who was sentenced for contempt in the railroad tax cases. SherifF Nana got scared before the case was settled anc purged himself of his contempt. Said the governor, on Monday : "Sheriff Nance die not stand by the State, and the State wil not stand by Sheriff Nance. The State will look out for all the other sheriffs." # ? J. E. Burke, counsel for the State, 01: last Saturday, gave the clerk of the United States court at Charleston a check foi $1,891.97, to pay the fiucs and costs in the cases against Sheriffs Tyler, of Aiken Gaines, of Anderson ; and Riser, of Newberry, for contempt. The fines amounted to $50C each, or $1,500, and the costs to $391.97 Sheriff Nance, of Abbeville, purged himsell of his contempt, but it is said that the fine of $500 will have to be paid all the same. ? The Chester liquor case, involving the legality of the dispensary act, came up in the supreme court last Monday morning A question of fact having arisen, the court appointed T. S. Moorman to take testimony, The testimony showed that the bill was properly and legally passed and Major Hamilton, attorney for the liquor men, receded from his position that the bill was illegal. He will now fight the bill on constitutional grounds. It seems certain that the dispensary law will go into operation July 1st. ? Dr. Whiteford Smith died at his home in Spartanburg last Thursday, aged 81 years. He was one of the most prominent Methodists of his day, and when a young man was considered the ablest pulpit orator in the South. Dr. Smith was a native of Charleston and a graduate of the South Carolina college. He joined the South Carolina con 5" 1QQQ on/1 fnn tKo nnst, tW'PntV. icrcut'u 11* AUUUi UUW IV* VMV J-MWW ? ..

It is the purpose of those having charge of the Jeff Dftvis funeral train, to take the remains to Richmond by way of the Charlotte and-Atlanta Air Line. Governor Tillman wants the train to puss through Columbia. On Monday, he sent the following note to the secretary of the Lee Camp of Confederate veterans: "I am sorry to see that the programme as arranged will give our people no chance, or next to none, to show their devotion to the memory of Jefferson Davis. We have a direct route from Atlanta to this place by way of Athens, Ga., and Greenwood, S. C., and the funeral train could reach here at 6 a. m., on May 30. Then, after say three hours' stop, it could go to Raleigh, via Chester, S. C., Monroe, X. C., and Hamlet, arriving not later than via Greenville and Greensboro. To go through and stop at the capital of our sister States and give South Carolina the go-by when it is not uecessary, appears at least unkind, and I earnestly beg that you will so change the route as to give us the same chance to pay our respects to the honored remains as others. I do this in behalf of all South Carolinians of every age and sex. ? Columbia Register: Tina Richardson, a colored woman, met with a peculiar death on Tuesday of last week. She lived in the "Blossom House," in Ward 1, and has been in bed for at least two months. While sitting up awhile she coughed very violently and brought up a small anitnal about two inches long. She fainted and was taken back to bed, but continued to cough violently, at times being almost choked. The coughing and suffocatiou continued for half an hour, when the woman died. The report of the extraordinary occurrence quickly spread in the neighborhood, and soon a large number of negroes had collected. They naturally "began to tttlk about "conjure," and some even said that she had been "conjured." The case is certainly a most curious one. The creature was said to be alive when coughed up, but when seen was dead. It all depends upon how one looks at it. Some say it is a mouse, and others a lizard. Dr. Folk was called to attend the negro, but she was dead when he arrived. Physicians differ about whether any animal can live in the human body. Some books say they can and others not. It seems to be a fact though that this small animal had been in the body of the woman. It was small, very red, and, as said before, might be taken for a lizard or a mouse. Such things are often read about, but it is seldom that one actually sees such a case. The Railroad War.?Speaking of the recent decision of the United States supreme court in the habeas corpus case, Attorney General Townsend said to a reporter of the Columbia State, one day last week : "I think that as far as the State has gone, it has done its best. I feel that every man concerned has done his whole duty. I can not say what further steps the State will take, if any." Major Townsend says the decision does not affect the old original tax cases against the railroads, which are still pending in the United States court. And the order of reference provides that all the testimony be taken in the next two months. In these cases there is a wide difference from those just tried. They contain no question of receivership. What they do involve is the legality of the assessments made by the board of equalization. Mr. Townsend says that this question, which alone is the real merit of the railroad tax cases, decided and undecided, has never yet been discussed of oil on^ if /lortntisic nrvrm thp dpplsinn ? V ? , -V upon it, whether the railroads will have to pay their taxes as assessed or not. He expects all the cases to reach their final hearing in the court by the middle of the summer, if not earlier. World's Fair Opened.?The great Columbia exposition was formally opened at Chicago last Monday with appropriate ceremonies. There were nearly 200,000 people present. The distinguished visitors and others formed a procession at 9 o'clock and marched to Jackson Park. A band of GOO instruments played the Columbian Hymn, composed for the occasion, and Rev. Dr. W. H. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the national house of representatives, offered prayer. Afterward President Cleveland delivered a short address, and promptly at 12 o'clock pressed the electric button which put acres of machinery in motion. At this the multitude cheered almost incessantly for not less than ten minutes. The jam was so great that dozens of women and children in different parts of the crowd fainted and had to be removed to the hospitals. On the first page of this paper we present cuts of some of the principal buildings of the exposition, and from week to week we intend to keep our readers posted as to the progress of the greatest show the world has ever seen.

It becomes them better than > the costliest jewels or the most expensive rai, mcnt. It is the parent of the soft answer that [ turneth away wrath, and is the handmaiden of . Godliuess. A good temper in a razor is a good thing also. If it be too soft or too hard, it puts ' the owner in bad temper. We wish to say that we have a good stock of Razors, the tem! per of which is warranted to be just right. Should any we sell fail to give satisfaction on ; account of the temper, let the purchaser hold his temper until he can bring it hack to us, and we will refund the money or exchange it.

I AM engaged in the preparation of a MAP OF YORK COUNTY which I intend to publish at nil early day, on a much more elaborate scale than any map of this territory now in existence. The map was originally commenced for my own use, but being assured of the public demand for a good map of this territory, I have decided to make it so complete as to include the location and course of all streams, public highways, towns, villages, mills, churches, school houses and even private houses in the country. The map will serve as a guide to the stranger, and will enable an individual to easily locate any given point in the county. The county and township lines are taken from a reliable public survey, and locations and distances will be made on a practically accurate scale of something like an inch to the mile. The map will be something like thirty by forty inches in size, mounted with moulding at the top and bottom, perfectly legible, and such a work as should be found in every well ordered home in the county. It will be ready for delivery on or before the loth of June, and will be sold at THREE DOLLARS per copy, by subscription only. Those desiring to subscribe for the map, provided of course that it is satisfactory, will please notify me as soon as possible, in order that I may have ample time in which to provide for their orders. Respectfully, JOSEPH (J. McNULTY, Yorkvillo, S. C. April 10 lti tf M. & H. C. STRAUSS. JVc have no reason to complain.

ION HONOR. # Every ounce of material used^in their construction is There is 110 better Bicycle in the world than the MONThere is no Bicycle made in the United States, or any where else, that is more durable. There is none that ride easier. There is none that run as lightly. There is none that give as great satisfaction. There is none that are more thoroughly guaranteed, and that by a company that will stand square up to every claim made. \ The MONARCH is a machine of which its ? owner will be proud,"oven when it is old, and 1 it grows old very slowly. The MONARCH does not seok to compete with the low or medium grade machines. Its 3, makers' ambitions are higher than that. ' The celebrated Morgan A Wright Pneumatic tires are usually used on the MONARCH, but any other tire of recognized merit that a purchaser may prefer will be used. The MONARCH is handled by some of the largest and oldest bicycle dealers in the principal American cities as their LEADER,and they inform me that it is really what is claimed for it? i th?

Read what the editors of the New York Reorder, one of the leading papers of New York, nil The Insurance Agent, a leading insurance imrnal, of New Orleans, have to say about it. [From the New York Recorder.) Edward R. Harper, president of the Mutual deserve Fund Life Association, was one of the iroudest and happiest men in New York yesterlay, and not without good reason. For twelve 'ears Mr. Harper liasnccn making annual relorts to this Association. When lie was first tlected its president the association was at best ait a struggling concern. The idea upon which it was founded was sound, nit the great insuring public had not learned to isve confidence in it. As soon as Mr. Harper ook hold of the presidency there was a marked hange in all this. He introduced new ideas, md slowly but surely broadened the policy of his now great company. The growth was not of the mushroom order, mt was gradual and firm. Each vear M r. Ilarp(r saw his endeavors to widen trie scope of his onipany bear rich fruit, until today it stands Jongside of the greatest and wealthiest insuanee companies of the age. This happy state of affairs is due to Mr. Harper's: untiring energy and the absolute connlenee the public has in his capacity as a manger. His report to the officers, directors and nemberw of the Association, made yesterday, ;ives occasion to all to renew their congratulaions to Mr. Harper. Ho has simply, by his .bio management, broken all previous records .nd surpasses even the most sanguine expectaions of the members of the Association. Every one expected to see an increase of lnisiiess; but it is safe to say that 110 one expected to ee the phenomenal resultsstated by Mr. Harper chieved. The showing is simply unprecedented in the uinals of life insurance companies, and Mr. darper may be pardoned for feeling proud of lis great work.' [From The Insurance Agent, New Orleans, La.] The agents of this progressive life insurance onipany are writing up a large percentage of he new business acquired in the South. Since ?ur last issue,policies in the Mutual Reserve have teen issued for 8100,000 011 six brothers, the dessrs. Milbert, lumber men at Plaquemino, ,a. This was a notableacheiveinent, as compe ition for these applications was active, and the dutual Reserve's plans commended themselves o the applicants as the best offered. The progress of this company is gratifying to its host of fiends. It issues a policy with no restriction ipon travel, change of residence or occupation, ncontestible after three years, and a cash surender value after fifteen years. OfiiciaL examnations of the books and accounts of the Mutual tcservo Fund Life Association by the eonimisioners of nearly all the States of the Union havng insurance departments, confirm the truthfulless of the accounts as presented by the officers if the company in their annual statements, and how that every dollar of the income was prop rly applied and every honest death claim iromptly paid in full. It can truthfully be said, hat whenever there is delay in payment of a laim, it is in some such instance as that referred 0 our last issue, where a policy was obtained by 1 gross misstatement of the facts warranting the ompany in resisting the demaud until the nerits of the case could be passed upon by thd lighest tribunal. It is often said that there is lothing so successful as success. Judged by this itandard, the Mutual Reserve is beyond critcism. The Association is pushing for new business vith a success which must be very gratifying to President Harper. We commend the company, liiciualifiedly, to all who wish the protection afbrued by a liberal policy in a strong, conservaive and aggressive association. The Mutual Reserve furnishes absolute protecion at about HALF the rates charged ?y the >ld line companies.
