His disappearance has created, if possible, more interest than that of M. R. Reese sometime ago. The first important development after the killing, was on last Thursday, when the governor offered for the capture of Newbold a reward of $250. | This, of course, considerably stimulated interest that was already at a high pitch. Following the news of the reward, there came a flood of sensational stories as to the detective's probable whereabouts, and for the past few days the people of Columbia have been believing that he is in concealment in that city. The details, as put together by rumor without any facts which can be satisfactorily established, are something like this: From Spartanburg Newbold made his way to the home of ex-Dispensary Constable J. T. Thomasson, about five miles below Rock Hill. He is said to have been seeu by several parties in the neighborhood, and one story has it that on Friday he was shooting partridges down iu that section. The story goes on, that, accompanied by Mr. Thomasson, the fugitive constable made his way to Winnsboro in a buggy, aud there, enlistiug the aid of another ex-constable named Stephenson, the three struck westward to Broad river, where they secured a boat and rowed down to Columbia. Stephenson was in Columbia on Saturday, and either told this story himself, or allowed the newspaper men to construct it according to their own notions. But if there are any facts iu connection with the story, or any part of it, they have not yet clearly appeared. From what has been published in the Columbia papers, especially The State and Register, there is prevalent in Columbia the idea that Newbold is in hidiucr in the vicinity trying to make some kind of terms with the governor for surrender. The terms, however, do not include auything, so it is said, '{ beyond a guarantee of protection in ( the penitentiary. It is claimed that , Newbold has anxiety about being tak- ( en back to Spartanburg. He fears ; that he will be lynched. That Newbold is in or about Colum- | bia, however, is by no means certain, i He has friends, and strong friends, i among the ex-constables and others, i He is a shrewd fellow. Of that there < is no question. While he may intend < to surrender and stand his trial, this 1 is by no means a certainty. It has beeu suggested, among other things, ' that when he left Spartanburg, he 1 at once struck for the mountains of North Carolina over about the same 1 course that was pursued by M. R. Reese. Newbold is supposed to be familiar with at least a part of Reese's route. If it should develop that he , has followed it, it would not be at all ; surprising. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. New Postmaster General Gives Them Strong Recommendation. , The first annual report of Postmaster General Gary to the president, was made public in Washington last Sunday night. The principal feature of the report is its strong advocacy of postal saving depositories. He says ' that the time is ripe for their establishment, and makes a strong argument in their favor. That portion of his report which is devoted to this subject; is in brief as follows: Many millions of dollars are undoubtedly secreted by people who have little or no confidence in ordinary securities and monetary institutions organized by private citizens. It is dead capital; but if its owners could be inspired with absolute confidence in the security of an investment, it is altogether probable that the bulk of this fund would find its way into the channels of trade aud commerce. If the government undertook this- task, the service would undoubtedly be gladly accepted by the people. Their faith in the government is unbounded. Their little savings, which separately could hardly be put out at interest, would amount in the aggregate to a sum that could be invested to their advantage. It would tend to cultivate thrift in a large class, realizing the advantage of depositing with the government instead of wastefully and uselessly expending ; it would tend to better citizenship, bringing into closer relationship the government and its citizeus and developing practical and enduring patriotism. This growth of patriotic sentiment and good citizenship constitute a powerful appeal to statesmanship to make a way for these beneficent consequences. The proposition is an accomplished fact in uearly every country in Europe, in the British dependencies of both hemispheres, aud eveu iu Hawaii. Ill Great Britain, 7,0UU,UU0 depositors have upward of $550,000,000 in savings accumulated during 35 years ; and in 10 years fewer than 10,000 Hawaiian depositors saved nearly $1,000,000. Deposits in Canada in 20 years exceeded $22,000,000. These vast accumulations have been made with the least possible loss to the governments which guarantee their repayment and with a minimum of cost to the millions of depositors. More than a third of the postal savings accounts in Europeau offices are held by miuors and over two-thirds by the most humble callings. It is essentially the bunk of this class. Postal savings would not coullict with these savings bauks, but would encourage savings rather thau accumulations. The conversion of money order offices into savings depositories would soon afford infinitely more facilities for receiving interest-bearing deposits than the iuterest-bearing bauks do now. The most aggressive opponents are among the private institutions engaged in somewhat similar enterprises, though associations of the larger cities recognize in it a valuable feeder to the financial currents of the country. Security, and not the rate of iuterest, 7 " is the primary and essential condition of such a system ; and bonds of states, counties and municipalities and real estate furnish an illimitable field. Comparing other countries, the postmaster geueral says nearly every country permits its most popular coin as the minimum amount of deposit, varying from 5 cents in India to $1 in Canada. Maximum deposits vary from $85 in France to $2,435 in New Zealand. Deposits over that amount are non-interest beariug; in several countries the surplus is by law inyested in national bonds. Both deposits and accounts are usually small. France made a profit in 1895 of $170, 000 in handling 2,500,000 accounts, aggregating $143,000,000, after paying the per cent, iuterest. Great Britain earned a surplus of $83,000, after paying 2$ per cent, interest on $480,000,000. made up of perhaps 600,000 accounts. The average commission paid to postmasters is one cent per deposit. Any account may be settled and withdrawn from any depository in the country. The telegraph is coming into use as a means of withdrawal. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. The Show ou Monday?Social Matters?Personal Mention?A Fire Last Saturday Night. Corres pondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburg, November 15.?The Great Wallace Show exhibited here today to about 2,000 people, many of whom came from the neighboring towns of Gaffney, Grover, and from near Hickory Grove. Although the street parade and circus performances were, as usual, not all that were advertised, yet they were much better than any we have ever had here, and, in some respects, superior to the great Barnum & Bailey's show. The crowd was orderly and generally well behaved, and the people were well entertained and satisfied, and none returned to their homes disappointed except a few who were foolish enough to "bet" on sharpers' "tricks," and lost some of their hardearned money. ? ' / '? xt n i MI'S. A. K. uauuer, OI uunnnvie, v,., altera week's visit to her friend, Mrs. W. J. Wilcox, returned to her home this afternoon. During her stay, several entertainments were given in her honor by the ladies of our town. On Friday, Mrs. Wilcox gave an elegant luncheon at her home on Academy street, which was very tastefully arranged and served, and was a most enjoyable affair. On Wednesday nigbt, Airs. Jones had a card party at Cherokee Inn, which was conceived and carried out with that exquisite taste and cleverness that is always a special feature of the entertainments given by the Alajor and Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Otis A. Osborne, on Friday afternoon, at her residence, on Shelby street, entertained quite a number of the mutual friends of Mrs. Gautier and herself at an afternoon tea. All who have partaken of Mrs. Osborne's charming hospitality y?n imagine how pleasantly the evening was spent by her guests. The ladies of the Presbyterian church jave an oyster supper on Tuesday night, at the residence of Mrs. J. M. Guyton, for the benefit of the church. It was well attended, and quite a good sum of money was realized. The Rev. Mr. Shaw, of Mecklenburg county, X. C., occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church Sunday morning, ind ^reached an excellent sermon to a larg* congregation. Mi. Sam M. Deal, who left home about the last of September to attend medical lectures in Baltimore, has been quite ill there with typhoid fever, and his many Iriends will be pleased to know that he is convalescing very nicely and will soon be up again. A small unoccupied dwelling, belonging to the Blacksburg Land and Improvement company, and situated near the electric lighthouse plant, was burned on Saturday night. The origin of the fire is not known; but it is supposed to have beer, set on fire by tramps, as a number of them were seen in the vicinity of the house the same night. w. a. FIRE IX KERSHAW. Business Portiou of the Flourishing Towu Destroyed Last Saturday Night. A fire, which had its origin in a bakery in Kershaw, last Saturday, got beyond coutrol and soon destroyed the business portion of the town. The followiug merchants, says the correspondent of the Columbia State, were burned out: J. A. Hilton & Co., Holden Bros., W. T. Catoe, S. L. Gardner, Jr., Louis Gardner (beef market), R. T. Hilton & Co., the dispensary, T. M. Fitzpatrick & Bro., C. 0. Floyd & Co., L. C. PayT f"! Hnoh Kershaw bakerv. " D"1 ?< Horton & Hortou, Witherspoon &Son, D. T. Hough, and A. P. Brown. All the buildings on this block were buiitof wood except a three-store room brick building known as the Gardner building. The loss is supposed to be about $55,000 or $60,000, with about $15,000 of insurance. The following places of business are uniusured: Depot, Benton hotel, Post, Kershaw Bankiug aud Mercantile company, Slratton & Hayes, Cook Bros.,JShannon & Co., Dr. Haile, Blackmat), Eslridge & Co., J. H. Estridge, H. J. Gregory, M. Cohen, O. B. Drakeford aud John K. Ashe. Kershaw will soon be rebuilt. Brick buildings will replace the old wooden buildings iu this block, which bus been regarded for sometime as a Are trap. WHISKY DETECTIVES. Tliat Is the Ides Now I oh tend of a Constabulary. At the recent meeting of the state "f '"""trnl ft l-osollltinn was waiu vi vvutt v<) %,w - ^? uuauimously adopted, Mr. Jones being absent, asking Governor Ellerbo to re-establish the constabulary force or its equivalent. Mr. Leon J. Williams, who was appointed to see Governor EDcrbe, today stated that he had done so and had had a very satisfactory interview, and that all that was wanted has been secured. He said the understanding was that there was to be no regular re-appointment of the constabulary force, but that detectives were to be appointed to look out for violations of the law and to report such violations to the civil authorities and warrants were, to be sworn out aud served by magistrates, sheriffs, or such other civil authorities. Mr. Williams said that the understanding was that the towns were all to be given ample opportunity of showing whether or not they will enforce the law, and if they would not, then the first thing to be done will be for the detectives who are to look out for violations to be paid out of the profits coming to the various municipalities. The idea is not to have any brass buttons or pistol work, but what might be called a regular detective service to work up the cases. Now this is the phase of the matter as given out by Mr. Williams. Governor Ellerbe, when asked about it during the morning, said the board had made no request of him. Again this afternoou, after it was learned what Mr. Williams had stated, he was asked about the matter. He said that the board had made no request of him to re-establish the constabulary. He said that Mr. Williams and others called on him today with ?r mof. reiereucu tu uu cumci) umuv-uw mmter, and in the couse of the conversation, he expressed some views, but he did not indicate any change of policy from what he is now carrying on. "I have no intention of making any change, and I have not been asked to make any change," was his emphatic statements, and with that he quit the conversation over the telephone.?Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier, Saturday. WITH THE POLITICIANS. Seen and Heard In Colombia During the State Fair. Columbia Register, Saturday. Uuless you kept your eyes pretty well open and were on the alert, you would hardly have noticed what a large sprinkling of politicians there was in the city during the past week. You may have noticed some of them ; but may have concluded that they were only visitors to the fair like thousands of others. They were not unlike others, but they had other irons in the fire. There were conferences and wire pulling without end, and an allotment of offices, just as if the people had nothing to do with it. Some of the Reformers are mad at Governor Ellerbe, beeause he has been appointing some Conservatives to office and they have it "iu the neck for him," and there are many candidates spoken of to succeed him or oppose him in the next campaign. As that is a long way oft, there is no telling what may happen, and many, or all, of these schemes may go up in smoke. However, The Register has definite information from a party on the inside that Senator E. L. Archer, of Spartanburg, will be a candidate for governor. Colonel O. L. Schumpert, it is said, will formally announce his candidacy for governor this week. There is no j doubt about these gentlemen being fairly launched in the race, and matters will be considerably complicated thereby. "D.?* onn nt^ora Rnmnr hnfh UUl IIIC1 C C*1 V vvuvio. AVUU.VI M???? it that Mr. Leon J. Williams will be a candidate, and Judge Buchanan, Mr. L. D. Childs, Mr. W. C. McGowan, "Uncle" George Tillman, former Senator Harrison, of Greenville; Colouel D. H. Tompkins, Congressman Talbert, and former Judge Hudsou have also been mentioned in connection with the position. With all these, or even half of them, the campaign would be one of great political interest from the start, but some of them will doubtless drop out before they cross under the wire. Ohio's Official Vote.?The official vote in Ohio for the respective candidates for governor at the late election, is thus announced on last Monday: Bushuell (Rep.) 429,816; Chapman (Dem.) 401,715; Holliday (Pop.) 7,558; Coxey (People's party) 6,254; Dexter (Nat. Dem.) 1,661; Watkins (Socialist Labor) 4,242 ; Lew is (Negro Protective) 47b; liberty, 3,107. Bushnell's plurality 28,101. The vote in Ohio for President McKinley and other candidates for president, given here for comparison, was : McKinley (Rep.) 525,991; Bryan j (Dera.) 474,882; Bryan (People's party) 2,615 ; Levering (Pop.) 5,068 ; Bentley (Nat. Pro.) 2,716; Matchel (Socialist Labor) 1,165; Palmer (Nat. Dem.) 1, 858. McKinley's plurality 51,109. The senate has 17 known Republican members, 18 known Democrats and 1 fusion Republican elected on the Democratic ticket in Cincinnati; total 36. The house has 58 known Republican members, 47 known Democrats, and 4 fusion Republicans elected ou the Democratic ticket in Cincinnati; total 109. On joint ballot the Repub licans have 5 majority. If they get the fusion Republicans the majority will be 11. Of the known Republicans 3 have declined to say how they will vote for United States senator. The Hanna men claim all of the other known Republicans, which it the claim is well founded, would give Mr. Hanna a majority of 2 on joint ballot. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Tlie State Fair. The state fair came to a close last Friday. The number of visitors during the week foot up something like 10,000, and from a financial standpoint the fair was a big success. The state ball, given on Thursday night, was a notable feature that was greatly enjoyed by society people from all parts of the state. Football Abolished at Frskine. Chester Lantern : At a meeting of the faculty of Erskine college, Wednesday evening, it was decided that 1 < 1 11 _ I there snouia oe no more 1001. uan piayed by the students. It was stated that this action had not been sought by the faculty, but was forced on them by a growing conviction of the danger connected with it. In support of this, the case of youug Gammon was cited, also a case in Erskire last year, where a young man was so badly injured as to have to leave college and whose life was seriously imperiled. l'attou'H Redisricting Kill. Columbia Register: Mr. H. C. Patton, in speaking of the progress of his proposed redistricting bill in making friends among legislators, said that he had talked with a number of the members who visited the city during the fair and he found them very favorably inclined to it. The greatest opposition will come from the present congressmen, and they have euough friends in the legislature to make a lively tight over the passage of the bill. These gentlemen are certainly "dead against" the bill. Horrible Accident at Felzer. John K. Owens, ex-chief of police of our town, suffered a terrible acci dent at Pelzer, this morning, about 9 o'clock, which may cost him his life, says the Williamston correspondent of the Columbia State, under date of last Friday. Mr. Owens was employed by the Pelzer Oil company, and at the time of the accident was at work on the roof of the oil mill with a force of carpenters putting in some skylights. The electric wires, running from the power house, two miles below Pelzer, to the new cotton mill, happened to run directly over the oil mill building, and the hands at work on that building were compelled to use great care iu order to avoid coming in contract with these electric wires, which were very heavily charged. It seemed that although Mr. Owens had been warned repeatedly of the danger at this point, he straightened up just enough for his head to come, in contact with one of the live wires. This kuocked him down instantly, aud in falling his eutire weight was caught by his throat against another wire, cutting and burning a terrible gash in bis neck and almost severing his windpipe. At last accounts Mr. Owens was still in an unconscious conditiou and his physicians have no hope of his lecovery. Drs. VVideman and Dendy, of Pelzer, have the case in charge. MERE-MENTION. Albert Voiers, the last of the celebrated Lewis gang of West Virginia outlaws, was hanged at Fayetteville last Friday in the presence of 10,000 people. The United States court of appeals has handed down a decision in which it declares that the Cherokee Indians of North Carolina are not citizens of the United States. Business failures in the United Slates last week were 201 compared with 276 for the same week last year. The silver Democrats of Boston, Mass., have nominated Thomas Riley, a well-known lawyer, as their candidate for mayor. James R. Sovereign, who has been grand master of the Knights of Labor during the past four years, was relieved of bis olllco by the general assembly in session at Louisville last Friday, and I. D.

"What I wanted to ask you is, do you know of anything better for a cough and cold than your Campbell's Cough Cure?" "No, madam, I do not; really I do not. It gives better satisfaction and I sell more of it than all the other cough medicines I handle." "Well, why I wanted to know is, our little girl has a dreadful cough, and has had for two weeks, and when she first took it I just sent down to your store and got a bottle of the Campbell's Cough Cure and gave it to her, and when that bottle was out I got another bottle and have given nearly all of that, and she still has ~ k T or" "Ofo mtwil) U'/H'l'iptl u CUllgLI, ami A am ?gi j iiiuvu ??. about it, because I have given both she and our little boy the cough cure many a time before, and it always did just cure them up directly." "Well, Mrs. , possibly she has whooping cougli; there is sonio around." "Well, well, I guess that is it, because she whoops, or draws in her breath with a noise or something like that." "Well, mam, there is nothing to stop whooping cough; but the Campbell's Cough Cure will shorten the paroxysms and lessen their severity and enable the child to get some rest." "Yes, I have noticed that, and that is why I have kept on giving it to her; it really does do that." "Yes, it reallydoes, and I don't think you will find anything elsequitesogood." "So, I guess not; so I'll just send down and get another bottle." "All right, mam. I think you will find it to continue to relieve her as heretofore. I Good morning." The above is a real conversation which took place a few days ago, and not having requested permission to use the lady's name, I do not do so. The facts are none the less true, and any mother whose children are alllicted with this disease will find in Campbell's Cough Cure more relief for the sufferer than in any other preparation on the market. For any ordinary cough or cold it is not only a quick relief; but a prompt and certain cure. Manufactured and sold only by C'LAKKNCK M. kUYKKXIlAL.

Ormand in regard to the merits of the OLIVER CHILLED PLOW. The statement is published for the consideration of the intelligent farmers of the county, who are learning from experience and observation that a first-class turning-plow is needed for the proper breaking of land and also in making terraces. Read what Mr. Ormand says, and please bear in mind that the statements are those of a practical farmer : YoRKvir.r.K, S. C., November 10,1897. : Vn.knillo ? C . fll essrs. urnsi tiuumus, luimms, u. v.. . Gentlemen?In reply to your inquiry as to my opinion of the Oliver Chilled Plow, I will say that I have two No. C that I have been using constantly for the past 15 years. Before I bought them, I tested a number of other so-called chilled plows, and never seen one that even compared with the Oliver, either in durability, lightness of draft, or quality of work. I would not take 825 apiece for the two plows I now have, if 1 could not replace them with others of the same make. I would pay the regular retail price for an Oliver plow, for my own use, in prefer? -i ? t ko,.a ence to naving any oiuer uinite mtn. * novo ever used, or examined, given me, free of charge. The Oliver's superior qualities make it cheaper at regular prices than its would-be competitors and imitators are at any price, or none. I am in no way interested in the sale of Oliver plows, except I consider it to the interest of the farmers of my county to know which is best, and believe my experience enables me to tell them. A good turn plow is needed on every farm, and I trust the day is not far distant when the need will be supplied in York county. In conclusion, I will say to the farmers, buy only the Oliver. Yours truly, G. C. Ormand. We have Nos. 10, 13 and 19 Plows in stock. Any size not on hand, will be furnished on short notice. GRIST COUSINS. J. J. HUNTER. A TRITE OLD PROVERB.

"Big Discount SaloJ" which I noticed spoken of in the New "W>rk Dry Goods Chronicle. Yours truly, N. SORENSEN. FROM the above letter?and it is only one of a large number that I have received?it will be seen that my "Big Discount Sale" advertisement, has attracted a semi-national attention. And why shouldn't it? It was an announcement of a whole storeroom full of bargainsall marked in plain figures, from which a positive discount was given each day. There was nothing misleading in it, and mere WilS Milium^ 111 mo aiiiiuiintuLiiiiui' that could he misconstrued by anybody. It was a statement of facts consisting of a tremenduous list of bargains, and the people of York county knew it. They simply took advantage of it, for they have all learned that Strauss cannot be undersold by anybody, and the New York Dry Goods Chronicle commented on the straightforward manner in which each proposition was stated, and every word it said could get unanimous endorsement from our home people. Strauss cannot be undersold and he won't be. The next attraction that he has to call to your attention is his splendid line of LADIES' JACKETS AND CLOAKS. 20 PEE CENT. OFP. Strauss is now offering his line of Ladies' Jackets and Cloaks at 80 cents on the dollar, and as selling prices are all marked in plain figures on each garment, it is an easy matter, to see the saving.
