A Valid Excuse.?"During the Civil war," said the old army officer who was in a reminiscent mood, "I was detailed to take charge of a camp of raw recruits and lick them into shape. Now, making soldiers out of raw material is about as disagreeable a thing as an officer cares to undertake, and I had gray hair before the government listened to my frantic appeals to be allowed to go to the front. "One cold, rainy night it occurred to me that it would be a good plan to make a toyr of the picket lines and see if the sentinels were attending to their duties. To my horror and astonishment, I found post No. 1 vacant. Boiling with rage, I made for post No 2. Here, .too, I found the same state of things. Post No. 3 was in the same condition, and I was rapidly developing symptoms of apoplexy. A little further on I found the three missing sentinels grouped together under a tree. "What are you doing here?' I roared. " 'Why, mister,' drawled out one of them in tones of remonstrance, "it'>i raininV ?< vnn knnw that VOU Can be shot for this?' I roared again. " 'We got here just as quick as we could," answered the raw recruit, who evidently thought I referred to their being wet, 'and the darned government ( didn't furnish us with any umbrellas." "I went to the front soon after that and saw the same raw recruits face without flinching rains that were composed of leaden bullets, and they did not ask for umbrellas, either."

"Course it did, an' the people all said, Ain't it beautiful and what a noble man,' an' the mourners in the hacks cried wuss an* ever.

Fun at the Carpenter's.?The carpenter had put down his tools and gone for his luncheon. "Life for me is a perfect bore," said the Auger. "I'm a little board myself," said the 1 Small Plank. 1 "There's no art in this country," observed the Screw Driver. "Everything's screwed in my eyes." "You don't stick at anything long enough to know what you're driving at," interjected the Glue. "That's just it!" said the Screw. "He never goes beneath the surface the way that Jack Plane and I do." "Tut!" cried the Saw. "I go through things just as much as you do. Life's stuffed with sawdust." "Regular grind," said the Grindstone. "I agree with you," observed the Bench. "It doesn't make any difference how well I do my work, I'm always sat on." "Let's strike," said the Hammer. "That's it!" cried the Auger. "You hit the nail on the head that time." "I'll hit it again," retorted the Ham- | mer, and he kept his word; but he hit the wrong nail. That is why the carpenter now wears his thumb in a bandage. It was his thumb nail the hammer struck.?Chicago Bulletin. The Burglar.?A man with a wife who has her own ways about doing things catches her now and then. "My dear," he said the other morning as he was dressing, "I think you were right when you told me last night that there were burglars in the house." "Why?" she asked nervously. "Because all the money that I had in my pockets when I went to bed is gone." "Well," she said, with an I-told-youso air, "if you had been brave and got up and shot the wretch you would have had your money this morning." "Possibly, my dear, possibly," he said gingerly; "but I would have been a widower." She laughed softly then and gave half of it back to him.

Neiri and Comment That Is of More or Learn Local Interest. YORK. Fort Mill Times, August 21: The first open cotton boll of this season was brought to town Monday by Mr. R. L. Bennett of lower Fort Mill township. Mr. Bennett has a well established rep itotinn nf lparHne- his brother farmers along this line Calvin Morrow, a Negro man who lives on the plantation of Mr. J. W. Ardrey, six miles south of Fort Mill, came to town Tuesday suffering with a gunshot wound. Morrow and another Negro named Hart, became involved In a difficulty over some watermelons which Morrow is said to have taken from Hart's field, and the latter proceeded to wreak vengeance by shooting his antagonist in the leg. Dr. Thompson dressed Morrow's wound Dr. J. H. Thornwell has received an invitation to deliver the children's address at the Forest Hill picnic on the 31st instant; but owing to a previous.engagement, is unable to accept the invitation The following from The News and Courier will be of interest to the people of this vicinity. It is from the pen of that gifted, patriotic man and brilliant orator, Col. James Armstrong whom the people of this section once had the happy privilege of seeing and hearing. The incident referred to happened on a steamer from Charleston to New York: '"There was a delightful entertainment in social hall Friday evening. The master of ceremonies was the Rev. M. P. Welcher, of Brooklyn, who won golden opinions from the passengers. He is a good musician. There were recitations by two charming Charlestonians, which elicited unbounded admirations. Mr. J. Hampton Lee, of New York, formerly of Fort Mill, favored the audience by reciting a poem, of which he is the author, written in honor of that beautiful town which has three monuments?one to the women of the war, one 10 me men wnu nuic mc sicjr, and one to the faithful slaves, the three memorials having been erected by that gallant ex-Confederate, progressive, patriotic and public-spirited citizen of Fort Mill, Major White. It vividly recalled to the writer of this letter two dreamy and delightful May days he passed at Fort Mill, when he met the brave veterans of liberty-loving York county, and when it was his proud privilege to be the favored guest of that sterling soldier and scholarly divine, the Rev. James H. Thornwell, chaplain general of the South Carolina division, United Confederate Veterans. Mr. Lee has written many poems, which have been highly praised, and are to be published in an attractive volume In New York." CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger, August 23: Prof. J. L. McWhirter, of this place, who has been elected principal of the Blacksburg Graded school, left yesterday with his family for that place in order to be there to assume his duties at the beginning of the session. The Blacksburg people will find in Prof. McWhirter a gentleman as well as a scholar. He will give them good and faithful work and we have no fears that they will ever regret having engaged him Wednesday President McKinley appointed Edwin Oliver Sarratt a captain of artillery corps. Mr. Sarratt is a Gaffney boy?one that everybody in Gaffney who has the privilege of being acquainted with is proud of. He has been making rapid strides since he joined the service of your Uncle Sam, and we confidently look to hear still greater things of him At the last meeting T ImAoiAnA T A/lflfa XT nf p PVi5ri Ul UIIUCOIVIIV XJVU(,V, AVI VTA. V M cellor Commander J. G. Wardlaw resigned his position, he having given due notice of his intention to do so, and vice-Chancellor Jas. B. Bell was elected to fill Col. Wardlaw's position. Prof. W. S. Hall was elected vice-Chancellor, Dr. C. T. Lipscomb, prelate, and Carlisle Hollie, Master of Work. The installation of these new officers is to take place next Monday night, when the boys expect to have a right royal time. Col. Wardlaw's resignation is a distinct loss to the organization, as it is almost entirely due to his untiring efforts that the lodge has attained the position it now holds among the lodges of the state, that of the first rank. This was Col. Wardlaw's second term, and he felt that it was his duty to give way to some other member. His successor, Capt. J. B. Bell, is well qualified to fill the position. He is perhaps as well informed as any other knight in this section, and will doubtless make an excellent officer. If he succeeds in keeping the lodge up to the standard set by his predecessor, he will do well, and we expect him to do it. The other officers are also well qualified for the positions of which they have been chosen?all except Cally Hollis, and he is not quallified for anything except to bulldoze and browbeat. But if the lodge never runs across any worse fellow than Cally we guess it will survive. V/I1DO X 12J I\. Lantern. August 23: Married?By L. W. Henry, N. P., at the residence of the bride's father. Mr. Madison Revels to Miss Ida C. Dunn, August 22, 1901, at noon Mr. Geo. Ball, of the firm of Morris & Ball, was married yesterday afternoon to Miss Hattie Broom, who has been visiting here from North Carolina. During the ceremony, which was handsomely performed by Judge O. Williams, they sat in a buggy on Pinckney street Mr. W. D. Mayfield. having been represented as saying in an interview that 12 members of the executive committee who voted for the McLaurin resolution had since expressed regret for the part they had in it. Mr. D. H. Magill. of Greenwood, one of the committee, sent a circular letter to each member who voted for the resolution asking him if he had expressed such regrets. Of course, each one answered that he had not. for as Mr. Magill says in answer to his own question. to have answered otherwise would have been "tantamount to an admission that he was a simpleton." This question grew out of the suggestion that the members of the committee were misled and unduly influenced by Senator Tillman. There is another question which casts a reflection on the Democratic voters of the state as long as it remains unsettled. Senator Tillman claims that notwithstanding all his ex-' pressions a few years ago Indicating that he was just ready to step over into the Populist party, he really had no such intention, and that it was he that held the Democracy of the state in line, and kept them from leaving the party. Many people do not believe this. If it is true, Senator Tillman does not get the credit that is due him. If not true, the claim is a slander upon the people. Now, since Mr. Magill is in the settling business, we suggest that he send out to every Democrat in the state?all varieties of Democrats?a circular letter like this?including a polite introduction and return postage: "Did Senator Tillman hold you in line, and would you have gone into the Populist party had it not been for his Influence? Would you have followed him into the Populist party if he had gone himself?" Besides settling this question in the same way that Senator Tilman himself suggested settling the question of his influence on members of the exe cuuve comriiiiiee m tmo juuuauuu ?evolution matter, the answers would be exceedingly interesting. LANCASTER. Ledger, August 24: Mrs. J. M. Riddle is visiting her daughter, Mrs. R. J. Mackorell, at Yorkville At the home of the bride, at this place, on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Miss Ida Hood was married to Mr. W. D. Gamble, of Wildwood, Fla. The ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Chalmers Fraser, was witnessed by a few of the near relatives and friends. The bride is the second daughter of the late S. C. M. Hood, and is a most excellent young lady, highly esteemed and very popular. The groom is a prosperous young businessman of Florida and is to be congratulated on winning the hand of so estimable a young lady. After the marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Gamble left for the Buffalo exposition, going by way of Washington. They will spend their honeymoon in the northern cities, stopping over here several days on their return before going to their home in Florida A few short years ago and H. J. Hickson was the ideal of robust young manhood. But while his friends admired the handsome face, the manly form, and almost envied him the glow of health in his cheeks and the seeming long and useful life before him, little did they dream that so soon 'the relentless angel ol Death, with its icy touch, would lay low this noble young man. For months he has suffered from cancer of the tongue, and it will be remembered that he was recently operated on at the Johns Hopkins hospital and a large part oi the tongue removed. After some weeks spent there he came home and he and his many friends were brightened and cheered up with hopes that the cancer would not return, but. alas, their hopes soon vanished and it became too apparent that the Inevitable was at hand. Only a week ago it became the painful duty of his stepfather, Sheriff Jno. P. Hunter, to tell him the result of a consultation of the physicians, viz.: that a return to Johns Hopkins was useless and that his recovery could no longer be hoped for. Taking two handsome rings from his finger he requested thai they be given to his sister, and from that time caimiy ne awauea me uuai moment, which came at 12 o'clock on Thursday, and his pure spirit slipped away Into the great beyond.

S. Wier had been appointed as postmaster at this place, vice Captain Brown, removed; but from the best Information we can get this news is "too previous." Mr. Wier has received no notice of his appointment, which we presume he would do as soon as made. Certainly if it had been made on the 8th he would have known it before now. We are of the opinion that the appointment still hangs before the authorities. TILLMAN ON TILLMAN. Snya HIh Actions and Saying# Will l.lve Forever. "A few plain truths, told in blunt fashion, without any oratory," was what United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, termed his adress made this afternoon before a large audience at the Mount Gretna Agricultural, Mechanical and Industrial exposition. His subject was "National Conditions and Tendencies of Oui Country." In speaking of Pennsylvania's political situation, he called attention to the "sweet, home-like, brotherly-love affair in Philadelphia, where the people are being imposed upon and robbed." He added that he was hopeful for the success of "Pennsylvania's biting, bucking and kicking broncho, in its efforts to unseat its' boss." "The Pennsylvania Democracy," he said, "has always appeared to be satisfied with the crumbs of the kitchen as its reward, and the people of Pennsylvania can only expect relief when the strength of the two great parties is more equal." In answer to the question, "Is Bryar the remedy for bossism and trusts?' the senator said: "Bryan is no longei an active political force, other than yoi; and I. He is the greatest living Democrat and the greatest, cleanest Ameri can alive in public life. What wouic have happened had he been elected ] cifnnot say. The spring is poisoned al its source by the men with the pen, whc write editorials for hire, who write what they are told and who have nc more say in the policy of their papei than the ordinary bootblack, Capitalists are in control of newspapers and the free and independent press of before the war is no more." Speaking of himself, he said: "My ; name will not appear in the annals of South Carolina history, but my actions [ and sayings will forever live there. My fame as a politician is in its babyhood, as I have only been six years in Washington, and whether I shall be among the thousands of nobodies, who have served in congress, remains to be seen. I am not worrying about popularity, notoriety or fame. The luxury to say what I please is the greatest I enjoy and I will not give it up."?Lebanon, Pa.., dispatch of August 21, to Philadelphia Times. THE ROMANCE OF CAMPHOR. Soldier* Guarding the Camphor Collector* In the Wild* of Formoaa. The large Island of Formosa, off the east coast of China, fell to Japan a few years ago as one of the prizes of war. The island Is famous for two products. The hill slopes to the west grow some of the finest teas in the world, the Oolongs and othel" Formo, san teas being highly esteemed in this country where nearly the entire crop is consumed. The tree-clad mountains of the east contain the largest camphor forests in the world. Most of the camphor kept in our drug stores comes from Formosa. Japan now produces only about 300,000 pounds a year; the yield of China has never exceeded 220,000 pounds a year; but 7,000,000 pounds of camphor were taken from the forests of Formosa in 1895, and in the past four years the annual yield has aver, aged over 6,000,000 pounds. Formosa controls the camphor market of the world and will probably always be a great source of this valuable gum. For sometime past the purchasers of camphor have been compelled to pay more , for it than formerly. The two principal reasons for the increase in price will be mentioned here: one of them is especially interesting, for it illus, trates the difficulties and dangers that environ the camphor industry* The mountains of east Formosa are inhabited by savage tribes which are , the bane of the island. Nearly half of Formosa is still occupied by these murderous men of the forests, whose weapons are turned against all foreigners. The fertile plains of the west, filled with peaceful Chinese tillers of the soil, present a very different aspect. For many years it was almost certain death for sailors to be wrecked on the east coast of the island. If they escaped the sea they were murdered by the savages who were always on the lookout for loot from vessels driven upon the rocks of their inhospitable coast. Explorers have not dared to venture into some portions of I these mountains which are still among the least known parts of the world. The savages are full of cunning and treachery. They are armed wTth bows and arrows, knives and swords. They J are very dark and muscular and go about quite naked, except for a scanty strip of blue cloth about the waist. In recent years many of them have ac' quired matchlocks and learned to use | them. One day, a few years ago, a party of English officers from a man-of-war ' went up into the mountqins and met a | party of natives armed with matchlocks. They challenged the natives to a trial of skill in shooting. A target was affixed to a tree about 300 feet , distant and the Englishmen made what they considered pretty fair practice. The natives looked on without any apparent astonishment at the skill of their rivals. When it came their turn to fire, every man of them disappeared in the jungle. They crawled ' on their stomachs to within about nine feet of the target and they blazed away. Of course they all hit the target in the center. When the Englishmen protested that this method of conducting the match was hardly fair, the natives replied: "We do not understand what you mean by fair, but anyhow, that is the way we shoot Chinamen." The men who collect most of the camphor of the world have to work among these treacherous devils. They are sent up into the mountains, pitch their camps in the camphor forests ; and depend upon their guns and their vigilance to protect themselves from 1 savage enemies. But though their wits are sharpened by the ever present danger, whole parties of them are sometimes slaughtered. The history of the camphor industry in Formosa has many of these tragical incidents. ' Though armed guards stand over the ' men while they are felling the trees ! and extracting the gum. they may be attacked at any moment unless the savages consider the force before them to be too strong for them to overcome. Great is the joy when they clean out a camphor camp. All the camp equip1 ment and supplies are the legitimate spoils of war; so there is profit as well as glory in the murderous business. ' The work of getting the camphor down ' into the plains is even more dangerous I than collecting it. The paths are nar row and the carriers, walking in long, single file, can present no strong front I to the natives concealed along the I way. A strong escort, front and rear, ' beating the bushes and scrub for the foe who may be lurking there, is always necessary to insure safety. > When the Japanese became fairly settled in the island last year they de! termined to put an end, if possible, to ' the dangers that beset the camphor in! dustry. As a preliminary step they . detailed 1,500 soldiers to guard the cam> phor camps and convoy the parties that carry the gum out of the forests. ! In these camps, scattered north and south among the mountains for a dlsi tance of 140 miles, the men are working today guarded by a part of the > Japanese army. Thus war and indusi try are curiously combined in the island of Formosa. As a rule, when i armed men are around looking for ' somebody to shoot, there can be no " such thing as industry in their neighi borhood. Peaceful labor and the ex ploits of war are not congenial com panions. But among the forests of I Formosa the soldier is becoming the [ valuable adjunct of industry, and it t could not thrive very well without him. ) The Japanese government proposes to ? use any force that may be required to > place the great camphor business on a safe basis; but the cost of protecting the camphor gatherers is added to the I cost of the commodity and there seems to be no reason to complain that this is not fair to all concerned. r This is the principal reason why the price of camphor has advanced. There d Is another reason for it also, and it li may be said that the price is likely to n continue at a good figure. Japan, like France and Spain, is desirous to obtain a monopoly in one or more commodities that will bring a large revenue into the government treasury. How could a monopoly be more easily established than in the article of camphor, the i whole supply of which is confined practically to one Japanese island? So the authorities declared awhile ago that thenceforth the camphor Industry should be a government monopoly. Any one may collect camphor today F wno can secure a permu 10 ao so anu permits are not difficult to obtain. But , not a pound of the product can be sold * to any one except the government, which fixes the price to be paid. The price is said to fully compensate the collectors, but a limitation upon the . amount of the product will prevent too many collectors from crowding into the field. The government names the J maximum amount to be produced and will not buy a pound in excess of that limit. It was said awhile ago that c the amount to be produced this year j would not exceed'40,000 piculs (5,320,000 pounds). As Japan does not intend that the market shall be oversupplied, i there seems to be no prospect of any large fluctuation in future prices. I The world will profit at least by the efforts of Japan to preserve an industry, which, a few years ago, seemed ' threatened with ultimate extinction. It is necessary to kill the tree in order to get the gum. Contrary to all pre- j vious practice a tree is now planted for every one that is killed. Japan reauires this to be done, and moreover, - is establishing plantations of camphor trees so that Formosa, It is expected, , will in a few years yield both wild and cultivated camphor.?New York Sun. A BOOM TOWN JOURNAL. a What the Law-ton, O. T., Republican and Laiit Frontier Sara About Locnl Event*. ? The Republican and Last Frontier is the title of an interesting newspaper started a few days ago at Lawton, Oklahoma territory. The recent boom occasioned by the distribution of free i lands in that section necessitated the . establishment of a daily paper. A traveling man at the Hotel Calhoun was 3 amusing quite a crowd Friday night by reading extracts from the Western journal. From the pages of this interesting publication much can be gleaned which indicates that Lawton, or its | newly acquired population, by reason of < its recent government land lottery, is J enjoying a period of what, in the ver- ( nacular of modem slang, is known as < "high life." Under the heading, "Local 1 "Laconics," are the following items: j "Mrs. Cannon, a fortune teller, went ] to McKnight last week and on her re- i turn found her tent completely gutted. < The burglars stole everything and it is 1 a \Vonder that they did not take the tent. Mrs. Cannon will have a splendid opportunity to prove her ability to tell " of the past and who stole her belongings. "Yesterday morning, bright and early, Haag's overland shows drove into the city and pitched tents down near the creek. This is the first show of the i kind to visit the city, and it will, no doubt, do a good business. Several wagons were required to haul the outfit. A citizen tried to count the wagons, | but when the cage containing the mon- f keys passed he forgot the number f counted and turned his attention to the 1 monkeys. * "The report of a shooting affray reached the city yesterday from Mills's Gap. It seems that the postmaster. Bill Jenkins, had a dispute wim the deputy sheriff, whereupon Bill shot the officer through the head, killing him instantly. Several other citizens were drawn into the scrimmage and for awhile there was more or less desultory firing, during which two or three more ( men gave up the ghost. But it did not amount to much. Such things are so . easily exaggerated."?News and Courier. i I Tricks op the Types.?Long ago a man on the old Charlotte Observer wrote that "Prof. E. W. Scott, the writing master, Is In town." The compositor had It, "Prof. E. W. Scott the visiting roster." Only a few years ago a state news Item, written for this paper, stated that "a High Point boy . drinks 12 milk shakes In 15 minutes." ^ The type man solemnly printed that "a i High Point boy skates 12 miles In 15 minutes." And It was in July. Banks I says he wrote a piece of poetry one ' time which declared that "he kissed her ( under the silent stars," and he was ( shocked, not to say grieved that he ( "kicked her under the cellar stairs." And there was another one. It was . Intended to say: "Mrs. B. had on noth- * ing that was remarkable," being dressed simply; but beautifully. It t went to the world: "Mrs. B. had on t nothing. That was remarkable."? 1 Charlotte Observer.
