JSeffte^er. No doubt the Register is now convinced that what Some of the "anti" papers sold last year about Editor Gantt's utter lack of.veracity Is true. Rev- Ellison Capers was elected assis? tant Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal ; church in South Carolina by the Diocesan invention In session at Charleston last iursday. No better selection could avo. been made, and we join the numer? ous friends of Bishop Capers in extend oocgratulations. His record as a citizen, soldier and minister, is >ut spot or blemish, and his church honored him and itself in his promo m. i purposes to which the products of le cotton plant.may be put seem almost luiitible. It has new been discov that from cotton-seed meal may be rtracted a sugar fifteen times sweeter that made from sogar cane.' There e, however, difficulties in the way of being manufactured successfully for ?mmercial purposes, which make it nn tely that the sugar trust will think it Ivisable to purchase immediately all the ltfaern cotton fields. \ l'-A convention of druggists of the State i been called to be held In Columbia 18tb, at night, during the Columbia ival to discuss the dispensary law so ?aa.it affects an increase of the tax on iL Enquiries made, by the drug of the Governor have elicited from :1m the statement that after July 1st Lraggists must buy all their alcohol from the dispensary and that it will be sold them by the barrel at not over' 20 per tint, profit on wholesale cost; Tho drug :ists say even that arrangement will istroy the business of drug manufaotur -ln the State. 'The Savannah News points out a new .for Puck and Judge. It says: "There L not bo much business in South Car Una for the average cPisen of that State id to in the near future. The Gor? an d his Legislature have taken sion of the railroads and the bar andit wouldn't be surprising If ' should take posse*sion of base ball, the game in that State seems to regulation. And then if the re dyspeptics get control of the lea, South Carolina will furnish >ugh funny things to runs Puck or ige without.drawing on the. outside >rld." i mm?. le Atlanta Journal says the subdued mr cf complaint that has begun to i itself heard against the high rates the World's Fair' is possibly just a i premature. There la hardly a doubt by the time the people are ready to 3 to Chicago, they will be able to ride i as cheap as they could ask. The )uthern railroads, following theexam > of tbe northern and western lines, ve formed a comblmiion to keep op But the northern and western have already begun to goto i end there Is no raason to suppose ; the southern roads will hold togeth? er very long. >a our first page-ibis week we publish i replv of Mr. Donaldson, President of iState Alliance, to th 3 recent letter of Tillman, in wh'ich were given the ns for blacklisting Mr. Donaldson ith^-President Cleveland. Gov. Tiil an's letter is no doubt fresh in the isids of our readers, who now have the sjportunity of reading what Mr. Donald has to say in his defence, and those them who be'ong to tbe Alliance and te ranks of the Reform party can make \ their minds which of these gentlemen the right with him, as both parties ?e in their letters signified a will ing 3s to submit the case to their judgment . abide the result. ?^^^^i he New Orleans State observes that, a clique of financiers in Wall is trying to force all tbe gold oat country, in order to have tbe gov meut -issue bonds with which they to speculate, the banks in tbe West coming to the assistance of the ad? ministration and supplying the Treasury with gold in order to moat the drain and v to preserve the gold reserve of ?100,000, " 000. The patriotic people of the West( fully appreciate tbe fact that the present financial crisis is due to a conspiracy to cml?arrasa President Cleveland's admin? istration, and at the same time enable a ?kkrie of selfish brokers and bankers to KHjtalxe largo sums of money at tbe ex ?*periie of the government." T;ie statement prepared from the reccrds of the Postoffice Department ahp vs that daring tho first two months I of tbe present administration the total number of fourth-class postmasters ap? pointed was 3,894, against 5,104 made during the first two months of Harrison's ! ' adrx inistration. The number of appoint-, mer ts made during tbe last two months to Jill vacancies caused by resignations and deaths was 2,695, against 1,608 made during the corresponding period of the last administration. The number of re? movals under Cleveland, 1,209: under llurrison for the same time, 3,496. The Incetas of appointments fonr years ago was .therefore 1,210, and the excess of *&j&i&^'*a while the number of ap ^oictments made for resignations and pfeaths was 1,077 more than four years SarX' In view oi the many misstatements Mh?ih have been made in the press con- { oeralng tho nu ruber and causes of ohan* ges being made in fourth class postoffices, too foregoing figures are regarded as in? teresting. It now looks as if the employment of prisoners in roadmaking was to be qnite comprehensively tried in the Suite of New York, the Governor, it is understood, fa? voring the trial. We have always advo? cated this disposition of prison labor as far as - practicable. There are many things in its favor. It will aid in secur? ing good roads, which are certainly very much needed in this country. Such em? ployment of prison labor will not inter? fere with free labor, because it will, in the main, be employed on work that would not otherwise be done. Another consideration, and probably not the least is the employment will be a healthy one, and that is a great aid in the reformation of criminals. We hope, by all moans, that the State will give it a fair trial. The Cyclone in Carolina. Columbia State, May 4. Bamberg, May 3.?A cyclone terrible in its consequence passed over Barn well County to-day, and, as far as can be learn? ed, the only place it touched was Spring field, a small station on the Carolina Midland Railroad. So far only one man is reported to have been killed, John Willis. Jim Fnlner, a negro, was thro wn forty feet against a tree and his back was broken; he will probably die. - The storm began about 12:30 p. m., when a small dark clond appeared in the west, and in ten minutes a perfect gale was blowing', which increased in fury until it seemed that the whole town would be rooted up and dashed to pieces. Houses swayed to and fro so that the oc? cupants fled pell mell into the streets, panio-stricken, clinging to each other in helpless terror, only to be picked up by the angry winds and piUthod to the ground. There were probably twenty or thirty people injured, and many resi? dences, and stores were either completely or partially demolished. Among the most serious casualties re? ported were: Jim Lee, spine injured ; E. Brooker, J. N. Brook er and Miss Brooker, all seriously injured; J. C. C. Austin,, probably fatally injured, head fractured; Mr.-. Austin and two daugh? ters, seriously but not fatally injured. A great many people whose names could not be obtained were bruised up. Some have broken ribs, others with broken legs, and nearly everybody who took refuge in the streets was. more or less bruised. J. C. C. Austin's handsome residence was completely demolished. Mr. Brook or's house was also destroyed, entrap? ping the entire family under the ruins. They were rescued after the storm. Springfield presents an awful and gloomy appearance this evening. Par? ticulars are hard to obtain. Later reports show that the oyolone did grjat damage in Barnwell County to-day. On the Stan sell place, near Wil? lis ton, one house was blown down. The next place struck was that of Jerry Kitebings. The occupants had barely time to escape.with their lives, when their house ?was completely demolished. The cyclone next struck Mr. W. T. Willis's place and destroyed house and several barns. Mr. Phillip's place was also struck and two houses blown to the ground. Three women were caught in the debris and all injured. On the place of R. S. Wade, near ?lko, two nooses were blown down. Two houses and ont buildings were demolish? ed on Dr. Brooker's place. The next place in the path of the fear? ful cyclone was that of Capt. R. M. Wil? lis, near Williston. He lost two bouses and all of his barns, with contents. The path of the cyclone was about 500 yards wide, and was the most disastrous ever known in this County. Mach dam? age was done to the crops, especially cot? ton. Blackville. May 3.?A destructive oyolone swept through Springfield to-day, between the hoars of 12 and 1 o'clock. The course of the storm, as now reported, was from Elko towards Springfield and on to Swansea, a town on the South Bound Railroad. In the vicinity of Springfield several houses were complete? ly demolished. - Up to this hour there is only one death reported?that of John Willis, an old' negro, living on J. C. C. Austin's place. Jim Lee, colored, was seriously injured, his back being broken. Ed. Brooker, David Austin, J. C. C. Austin, his wife and two daughters were serionsly injured. The residence of Charles Phillips, some distance from Springfield, was partially destroyed. Batusbtjbq, May 3.?The section of country about four miles below here waa vlslted.by a terrible cyclone this afternoon. The trees alcng its path were torn up, many houses unroofed and some completely destroyed. Mrs. David Clamp waa instantly killed and her husband and son were injured. Mrs. Steele and some children, near Summit, were badly hart, The cyclone, which was about fifty yards in width, was accompanied by a dense black cloud, and filled the air with flying limbs, and trees, and completely destroy? ed the orchards in its path. At Summit, the barns and houses of Mr. J. M. Shealy were blown down and their contents scattered in every direc? tion. The telegraph wires were stripped from the poles and tossed across the rail? road track, and pine trees of all sizes were laid low. Lewikdaxe, May 3.?About half-past 12 o'clock to-day a destructive tornado passed about one and a half miles north of here, blowing down houses and up? rooting and blowing down trees. The track of the tornado was about 300 yards wide. Mr. Jefferson Long's buildings were ail blown to pieces, and some of the lumber and shingles were blown a mile. Mr. A. B. Taylor's buildings were all blown down, bot fortunately no one was serionsly hurt. Mr. S. L. Steele's buildings were also blown down, near Summit, and some of bis family were badly hurt. Newberry, May 3.?A cyclone struck the residence of J. P. Matron one mile north ?( Newberry, to-day at 11 o'clock, and tore off the roof and demolished the chimneys, one of which crashed down to the sitting room on the first floor. The barn and stables were completely wreck? ed. Mr. Mahon and the children bad driven to town about two hours before, and escaped probable injury. The loss is oovered by cyclone insurance. Anil's mill, just across the road, bad its roof torn off and was otherwise badly damaged. The cyclone is next heard of five miles in an easterly direction, where its great? est damage was done on the place of Asa Oxner. The top of his two-story resi? dence was demolished and six tenanted outhouses were completely wrecked and strewn to the winds. Tne fourtoen-year old daughter of Mr. Oxner rushed out of the house just as the cyclone struck it, and was slightly injured by the wreck. Four negroes were also injured, and one will probably die. The cyclone was the nsnal black clond, with the fiery flame and the terrible twisting motion. Its path was a hundred yards wide, and many orchards in its wake were completely destroyed. There was a smaller cyclone at 7 o'clock this morning, about seven miles east of Newberry. Every house on Robert Sligh's place was blown down and his stables wen- carried away. A negro man was blown .'our hundred yards and es? caped unhurt. It strack W. F. Koon's Elace, but did no damage to the houses ; is orchards were destroyed. The cy? clone at 11 o'clock passed along almost in the same track, of the one that occurred three years ago. Ninety-Six, May 3.?About 1 o'clock a young cyclone passed within one mile of this place, moving from southwest to northeast. Its track was about fitty yards wide, and it swept everything before it. Large trees were blown down and others bad all of their limbs torn from them. As far as I can learn, but two cabins lay in the track of the wind, and they were swept away by the fury of the storm. No loss of life is reported. Owing to the heavy rains that have fallen in the past twenty-four hours, the streams aro rising very fast and it is believed that we will now have our annual May freshet. Shot by bis Brother. Athens, Ga., May 7.?News comes from Danielsvllle of a bloody fight be? tween two brothers. Mark Ford lives with Mr. Guest. A few nights since his brother Dave came to the front gate, called him out and ac? cused him of stealing his still. This Mark denied and Dave went ewny en? raged. Friday night Dave returned with eleven of his friends, awoke Mark, called him ont and carried him several hundred yards from the house. Mark at last, becoming suspicious, refused to go farther. The quarrel about the still was renewed when Dave drew a pistol and shot Mark through the thigh and then dealt birr, a severe blow over the head with a fence rail. His injuries are seri? ous and will most likely prove fatal. Dave has been arrested and is in Mad? ison jail awaiting trial. HEBE'S A miTY HOW DYK DO I An Extra Session of the LrgUIatura Talk? ed About. Special to News and Courier. Columbia, S. C, May 8.?An extra session of the Legislature, by no means imminent, is not at all improbable. Quite a number of inquiries have been made as to the calling of the Legislature, and while there is no reason in t?o world to believe that such a thing is at present contemplated, it is being discussed just as if it were as certain to come as the scramble for office two years hence. The particular feature about the extra session "boom" seems to be that it has its origin in the mind of the Administration, re? gardless of the cost and the acknowledg? ment that the legislation of last year was faulty. The case as stated to me by one of the prominent Tillmanites is this: There is a very strong possibility that the Supreme Court will overthrow at least that section of the dispensary law which shows a dissimilarity between the law as published and the journal of the Senate. In case that is done, there is no provision in the bill lor a legal profit on liquors sold by the counties. The Court would, it is said, have no right to construe what was the intention of the Legislature, as its functions are entirely judicial and not legislative. The information goos even so far as to say that after the hill bad been examined it was advised that the bill showed a bad error and that the best thing to do was to call an extra ses? sion of the Legislature, and it is even suggested that such 11 com so would have been seriously considered hod it not been for alleged reflections against Speaker Jones. Then it is generally granted that the bill needs repairing in certain partic? ulars on account of hasty legislation and the new ideas that Lave been developed on certain parts of the law. i In addition to the neareof the Adminis? tration about the dispensary law there j are a few who are afraid that the Court may want something done about the bonds, but that is even more remote than the doubt about the dispensary bill. - Moreover it is hinted that the caucus at ibe Governor's mansion thought that a little legislation on the railroad question would not be amiss. There are some who go so far as to suggest that an effort is to be made to confiscate the charters of the railroads. The Administration is in a somewhat sorry plight as to means and ways to continue the right. There are other reasons given for the possible extra session, j The fact, how? ever, remains that the one man who holds the key to the situation says that there is nothing in the matter. Governor Till man is not just now saying anything about any extra sessions, and nothing is going to "be donennl.il be makes up bis mind to that effect. Saturday evening be saidTbat he bad nothing to say on the subject. That Bettled it for the time being. While lawyers are puzzling themselves over the probable result of the points raised by Major Hamilton, and there is a general feeling of unrest among the liquor men of the State, the work of or? ganizing the most gigantic business ever undertaken by a Stats goes on. Those in control of the dispensary, and they are Governor Till man and Mr. Traxler aad no one else so far as can be seen, have no I small ideas about the State bar room. They are building tdl of their plans to conform to their very liberal ideas, and if the business is nof: a very large one they will be exceedingly disappointed. The equipments that are being bought are ouly for a heavy traffic There seems to be an idea that there is to be a "crush? ing" business all the time. So far as is known no orders for liquors, wines or beers have been placed up to J this time. There has been a perfect influx of drummers in Columbia for months, but they have all been asked to send or leave samples for examination and "rook-bottom" priceB. With what en? couragement they could get out of an order being given them in case their goods were found to answer tbey have returned home. Recently Schlitz, the Milwaukee brewer, and other beer men .j have had the floor, and are leaving or Bending sample lots varying from a lew bottles to a whole barrel of bottles. 1 The present intention of the dispensary seems to he to use only "export or bot tied beer, as it is thought that the keg beer j cannot be shipped to advantage. The ] indications are that the beer will sell at fifteen cents a bottle, or two for a quarter ?there will be no "schooners" or "po- j nies" with a free lunch thrown in for good meisure. Indeed no one seems to I be thinking of selling the dispensary any Schweitzer cheese, prepared soups,"pret-1 zel, sandwiches, salads, beans, celeries or sausages for the lunch counters. In fact no one hiis heard of any provision for ice or iunchos. The fad will be to go into an alleyway and drink a bottle of warm beer. I Now, of course, there are very different I opinions as to the success of the dispen? sary scheme. On the one band the en- I tnusiasts for the law claim that it will coin money for the State, while the Pro-1 hibitionliiti and others say that it is j certain to bea gigantic failure. For inn tan ce, Mr. LaMotte, a leading Prohibitionists, in talking over the sitna- I tion, said that the friends of the dispon-1 sary were going to be woefully mistaken in their calculations of tbe amount of business that is to be done. In the first J place, he thought that he bad reason to say that dispensaries wonld be establish? ed in but few counties. The Prohibition- I ists. he said, were working conscienti- | ously to get the most they could out of the law an it stood, and were using eve?y legitimate effort to secure prohibition. j It has been suggested that if as many dispensaries as are needed to make the I money tbe Administration expects to I reap of the scheme are not asked for, the I law wonld be changed. If it is found I that 50 per cent, of the freeholders cannot be secured to a petition in a city, the per? centage may be reduced to 25 per cent. Mr. LaMotte said that Governor Tillman and his party would find that they mis? took tbe sentiment of tbe people if they attempted any buch legislation. The oountry voters wanted prohibition pure and simple and that they only accepted tbe present plan as a compromise, but I would not consent to making tbe system more liberal than at present. A lively fight 1b very likely to come up on this very question when tbe law goes through the repair shop at tbe next session of the Legislature?whether it be extra or regu-1 lar. I There is a large bundle of papers in Governor Till man's office relating to the ] appointments of the county boards of control and county dispensers. The ap? plications have come in from all parts of tbe State, and are in many cases supple? mented with friendly endorsements. The State board of control will soon announce the county boards of control. It appears that some of the boards have already been named, but the entire "outfit" will be published at one time. If tbe compo? sition of the boards is watched it will be discovered that there are very few other than "Reformers" on them. Tbe wholesale and manufacturing druggists of the State are very much ex- j ercised over the construction of the dis? pensary law as announced by Governor Tillman. The druggists hope that Gov? ernor Tillman and the other members of the board of control will find some way in which tbey can put the wholesale men on an equal footing with those in other States. Mr. 13. H. Cain, of this city, who has been actively connected with tho wholesale drug business for years and knows considerable about it, had a talk with me about tbe matter. He said: "The disadvantage thai the present con? struction of tbe dispensary law will entail upon the wholesale druggists of this State and the unequal competitive position they will be placed in thereby seems plain. They could readily do away with minimum profit on alcohol itself, but for manufacturing purposes it is a vital ques? tion. Can we hope that our customers will buy of us legitimate goods that they can get cheaper just across the State line at a slight advance in freight rate? Or are we to take our plants to near by cities and control our trade from them ? It stands to reason that if the cost of alcohoi to manufacturing druggists (and all the wholesale dealers in this State are; is to be advanced to 20 per cent more than they can buy it for in open market, the price of the manufactured articles is advanced in a like ratio. How therefore can the home jobber compete with neighboring J houses for alike class of goods? For two reasons it is customary for retail dealers to manufacture tbeii tinctures, etc. The first is accuracy, and second they save the price of skilled labor, doing the work themselves. These prepara? tions are made up from the crude drug or fluid extract by the addition of proper alcoholic menstrum. If, however, they have to buy alcohol at an advance ef 20 per cent. They will buy the preparation ready made outside of the State and have it shipped, thereby depressing the jobber of the profit on the crude article or fluid extract necessary to their manufacture. Thousands of dollars of phial medicines are annually sold by country merchants throughout the State, a large proportion of which is supplied by the home jobbing bouses, on which the profits are small owing to the intense competition by othor houses who are nearer glass factories than we are at homo, This will pass out of our hands if thoy can put up thoir goods at prosent prices, while our cost is advanced 20 per cent on a largo propor? tion of them. A large percentage of coun? try doctora, who must supply their Eaiients' wants, necessarily deal with the f.uses to whom thoy uro personally Uuon ii because of accommodations grant cd to them ; in many c#tses no settlement being made until tho end of the year. These will be obligtd to stand the ad? vance, thus throwing tlie increase in price t'ireetly upon the poorer classes, in many cases upon those least able to pay. The proportion of alcohol in nearly all the liquid preparation used or sold by druggists ranges from forty-live parts to til alcohol. This class of preparations includes tinctures, wines, liquors, elixirs end essences and extracts, and are in every day use by druggist atid customer. All alcohol bought and used by the manufacturing druggists of this State is of the best quality, necessarily above 95 per cent. pure. The manufacturers guar? antee all of it to be "95 per cent.- puro or ever." The manufacturers in Carolina invariably test the alcohol to seo that it comes up to the guarantee This is the .standard grade of alcohol, absolute alco? hol being ouly used for scientific pur? poses. Alcohol in itself as sold by the wholesale is at present an unprofitable business. One reason of this is because of the fluctuation in price, aud is largely sold as the "leader" or "bait" by many houses and other firms having to meet tbe price. The loss by evaporation amounts to considerable. The annual business of the recognized manufacturing and jobbing drug houses amounts to at least a half million dollars, and a considerable portion of tbeir busi? ness is necessarily affected by the increase in tho price of alcohol. Itrmust be re raembered that tbo drug business is sub? ject to very lively competition in this State, and representatives of firms from Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Charlotte, Richmond, Baltimore, Philadelphia, De? troit and New York are within its bor? ders soliciting orders every day, and would make the most of any increase in the clasa of goods affected by the price of alcohol. If a suit is not brought by the Charles? ton Association against the dispensary i tw it is pretty safe to say that the rail? roads will come in for the first round. I? am informed tbat the Richmond and Danville Road has decided that it will accept all freights tbat are offered it, whether in barrels or cases. Tbey claim tbat they have no right to refuse packa? ges consigned to parties in the State and delivered from other roads. A great many householders throughout tbe State are laying in a good supply of whiskey. In Charleston and other larger places a "daad-sot" is said to be deter? mined upon against patronizing the dis? pensaries, even if established. Everyone who knows that he has use for liquor is getting some reserve stock, for tbey imagine that there is no telling what the State bar room will charge when it gets in control. An interesting point in connection with the dispensary law is: "Who is to classify tbe freeholders in any communi? ty, and who is to say whether a majority of them have signed for a dispensary? There are some orthodox Prohibitionists who are somewhat fearful of the count? ing, and would like to see tbat those who are on tbe list are in fact freeholders and entitled by residence to petition for a dispensary. Another Lynching. Kingstree, S. C, May 6.?Last night a negro, Sam Galllard, was lynched about a mile front this place. The facts in the case as nearly as I have been able to gather them are as follows: On last Thursday morning a rape was committed upon Mrs. Nesmitb, a young married lady, living a few miles from th is place. She was at home at the time. Her husband was absent at his work and only her babe was with her. A negro came by tbe house, which is on the road? side, and asked for a drink of water. He obtained this and then seemed to go away, but while Mrs. Nesimith was in the yard, gathering a little f uel, he sprang upon her, chocked her to suffocation and threatened her life if she attempted to give the alarm. A dog in the yawl came to the rescue and tbe fiend in human shape finally fled. As soon as his victim sufficiently recovered she rin to her father's, some distance of';', and told what had been done. The news spread like a prairie fire. Runners were soon on the road and the escape of the guilty one was unde as nearly impossible as human effort, could make it. Suspicion pointed strongly to Sam Qaillard, and ex-convict, who had been loafing about tbe neighborhood. He wag soon captured and taken before Mrs. Nesnaith, who identified him as her assailant. He was then taken before a trial justice, given a hearing and com? mitted to jail at this place for trial. But h? never reached the j nil. A company of some two hundred men who had heard th 3 news of his capture, as well as his cr me, met his convoy about a mile from the town, took him and hanged him without much ceremony to a convenient true. The place is where four roads meet and thrjre the body hung this morning when th'J coroner had it taken down. The cul? prit acknowledged his crime openly to white and black and seemed rather to glory in it than otherwise. In his case, at least, the right man has met the right punishment. This should be a warning to all that swift and condign punishment of i like sort will be meted out to all and any who would lay lawless and lustful bands upon the chasjtty of women in Williamsburg County, South Carolina.? Special to News and Courier. Look to tbe Law, Governor. Charleston, S. C, May 5.?The fol? lowing is a copy of tbo letter sent by Solicitor Jervey to Governor Tillman to? day, in reply to tbe Governor's letter in? structing him to prosecute the Denmark lyr.chers: "I beg to acknowledge your letter of 4tb instant, wherein you direct me 'to proceed to Denmark at your (my) earliest convenience, for tho purpose of thorough? ly investigating the outbreak and taking the necessary steps to vindicate the law and punish tbe lynchers.1 "All lawful directions emanating from the Executive shall be fully aud earnestly carried out by me, but in a matter of such importance, it is best that your directions conform strictly to the law. There is no provision of the law which would authorize me, with or without your sanction, as Solicitor, to go into another circuit and assume tbe enforce? ment of the criminal law there. "Section 511 of the General Statutes, under which I assume you act in this matter, authorizes the Governor to direct the Solicitors to assist the Attorney Gen? eral, or each other, in all suits or prose? cutions in behalf of the State. The sec? tion clearly contemplates tbat a Solicitor so directed.must be associated with, not supersede the constituted representative of the State in any circuit, iu some suit or prosecution tbere peuding. I am satisfied that under this section, he would not be authorized to take original pro? ceedings, and that an indictment present? ed by him would not be valid. "Whenever the Solicitor of the Second Circuit shall have performed his function tint er the law, and a prosecution has bocn begun iu Barn well County, should you think that the iutorest of the State would be subserved by my presence, I shall promptly obey tbe direction of Your Excellency. Tho duty is one of gravo responsibility, neither to bo sought nor evaded, and I shall devote to its proper execution all tbe ability and earnestness at my commaud." State Teachers' Assoclaton.

S. Lander, Chairman Executive Committee. Willi her Apron Strings. Wheeling, W. Va., May 5.?A sensa? tional suicide occurred here this morn? ing.

Tho Living Question of Immigration, To the Editor of the Greenville News: The Hon. II. B. *BuiBf, tbe president of tbe Suite Horticultural Society and a leg? islator from Greenville county, in your i>sue of tbo 29th ult., portrayed in glor.i ous colors the advantages and Mattering inducements the Palmetto State offers to the sturdy immigrant who is seeking a home in the land of liberty and plenty, and judging from the great" number who turned their backs upon South Carolina it would be very fair to presume tbat tbey have undoubtedly heard something detrimental and disadvanta? geous. While nature has bestowed this State so bountifully with natural advantages and resources, the disadvantages of our fanat? ical and hypocritical laws, together with tbe prohibition craze, have built a Chi nose wall around our borders and thereby havo kept intelligent and thrifty immigration from being a second timo bamboozled, and it reminds me (as an immigrant) most forcibly of the song: "Won't you step into my parlor ? says the spider to the fly," which. I am griov ed to say has happened to us immigrants who came into the State in former years under the most flattering inducements hold out to us, and foolishly invested their all in grape growisg aud other hor? ticultural pursuits, but who, in conse? quence of tbo passage of laws by the last and former legislatures, are virtually almost ruined and would fain join the tide of immigration westwards (that you aro trying so hard to induce to set? tle among" us) provided we could dis? pose of our property atone-half its cost to us. Mr. Buist is reported to have said on tbo floor of tho legislative hall in 1891 that he considers tho making of wine a sin, but I consider it a sin of greater magnitude to ensnare our fellow-man as has been done before. Tbe grape and other fruit growing in? dustries cannot profitably be carried on when hampered by such despotic laws, as the making of pure wine and cider goos hand in hand with the marketing, canning and preserving of fruits, and ac? cording to tho dispensary law going into effect on July 1st the making of wine and cider is a monopoly by theStateand only a favored few will bo benefited by this act. Tho New York Sun warns our people that it is timo to^bostir ourselves if we want to tako the front rank in agricultu? ral progress and asks the question "why are so many going West and so few to the South ?" and being of foreign birth I an? swer, tbe intelligent immigrant expects to seek a home not only lor himself but for future generations where he can en? joy at least the same liberty in thought and action as in bis native home. Not only are such liberties held out to tbom by the progressive Western States et ill greater inducements are offered them by tho exemption of taxation on lands sot out in vineyards are orchards. How did the South Carolina Legisla? ture of 1892 treat the petition of the grape growers of the State when tbey humbly asked protection for privileges assured them-? I auswer, with silent contempt and the dispensary law. Tbe intelligent immigrants have en? joyed for their children at home school facilities for twelve months in the year. What does the rural district of South Carolina offer them ? Three months in the year in windowless cabins, slab benches and a hickory switch. No, no, gentlemen, the intelligent im? migrant can and will go further and fare bettor. Respectfully, G. Wanne n, Proprietor of the Vine Hill Vineyards and Secretary of the State Horticultural Society. Walhalla, S. OL, May 1st, 1893. A Murderer's Confession, Denison, Texas, May 5.?Sensational developments occurred yesterday in tbe Carlisle-Luttrell murder, case at Sher? man. Late in the evening news became current that Governor Hogg had written to Judge Brown for particulars in Chas. Luttrell's case, as a pardon had been ap? plied for. It is known that Luttrell had a conver? sation with ex-Sheriff Mason, of Hunt County, Wednesday, and as a result a pardon has been applied for. Luttrell gave information concerning the butch? ery of women here last spring tbat will Erobably secure him a reprieve, or oossi ly a commutation of sentence to life im? prisonment. Through a high official it was learned that Charles Luttrell stated that since 1808 James Brown, John Carlisle and friends had killed 248 men in order to destroy testimony against them in a murder case. James Brown, in 1878, became in? volved in a q uarrel with a stable hand and killed him. John Carlisle was induced to killauother man named Sparks. Tom Sharman, their last victim, was an eye witness, Brown and Carlisle being wealthy, started in to kill every evidence against them, and Luttrell's confession is but a glimmer of the awiul reality of this unparalleled series of crimes, that cost 248 men their lives. Luttrell would not give the names of the victims, and said he did not know all but they would be forth coming in every instance of the killing by this gang. Ev? ery eye-witness was shadowed and kill? ed sooner or later, and all who could give circamstantal evidence were killed by hired murderers. Luttrell is fast weaving a death web around Carlisle and others heretofore unsuspected, while he is bettering bis chances for clemency, if not for liberty.? New York Times. Thousands Disappointed, CniCAOO, May 7.?Tho rules to close the gates for the World's Fair on Sunday was rigidly enforced to-day?at least so I far as the ticket purchasing public was I concerned, The fortunate hundreds who held passes were admitted, however, and ! allowed to wander about the grounds at their will. The day was beautiful anfi thousands of workingmen, some of them with their families, went to the fair grounds, under the impression that tbe gates were to be opened, and when these toilers were turned away, they left in anything but good humor. It was high? ly aggravating to them to see the favored hundreds, even thousands, enter the grounds on passes, while tbey who work? ed all the week were excluded. The validity of the law of Congress closing the gates is to be tested in the courts this week. Chas. W. Clingman, who is a stockholder in the fair, has ser? ved notice on Secretary Edmonds that he will appeal to the courts to open the fair on Sunday. In his letter, he, in tbe interest of the working people, and as a representative of other stockholders, demanded tbat tbe people be admitted on Sunday the same as other days in tbe week. ? ? t- . A Rash Act 2 New York, Mav5.?Mrs. Faunie Korn of No. 101 West Sixty-eighth Street, at noon to-day gave poisqn to her two chil? dren, Edwin, 12years old, and Florence, six years old, and then shot them, and aiterwardB shot herself, Mrs. Korn is 32 years old, and the wife of Ernest Korn, dealer in tea and coffee. The two children were by her first hus? band, Mr. Westing, who died three years ago. For some time Mrs. Korn has been suffering from nervous troubles which the physician said was incurable, She has been very despondent and has often said : "I had better kill myself, but when I die I shall take my children with me." While her children were at lunch to? day she gave them a mixture made from the heads of matches and flour paste. Sho went into an adjoining room, and getting a revolver, fired at Edwin. The ball struck him in the left leg, and be ran screaming from the house. She then shot Florence in the side, just below the heart, and taking the wounded girl in her arms, sat down on a chair and shot herself twice in the left side.

There have been discovored among tbe treasures of the British Museum some curious votive tablets sot up iu an? cient Greek medical temples by grateful patients who had been cured of disease. In connection with this discovery, it is of interest to know that the Greek* wore the originators of museums of anatomy such as line the Bow ery, in New York and may be found in every large city, where they attract tbe curiosity of the country visitor and excite the apprehen? sion of tbo schoolboy. On tbe Island of Cos, in tho (Jroek Archipelago, now a possession of Turkey, thoro was a famous temple of Esculapius in charge of some skilled surgeons who exacted that every patiout receiving treatment thero should leave behind a model in wax or other material of his diseased limb.

Deputy Collector Ensor has returned from another of his drag net raids on the moonshine country. The most impor? tant capture ho made this time was a large distillery at Tato's mill, in Pickens county, eight miles from Greenville aud about four miles from Easley. The place was raided Tuesday morning. The alii I was found in operation in the basement ol the mill while there was a barrel of whiskey up stairs. Both were destroyed. The Tatos were up during the last term of the United States Court, but a negro man assumed the entire responsibility for the illicit distilling and hauling ope? rations then investigated. On the Chattooga River, in Oconee county, two distilleries were destroyed and four men were captured. Another still was destroyed near Liberty, in Pick ens. The doctor raked the Dark corner of Greenville but found nono of the boys at home, although he struck some very warm signs. Tho only capture made in this county was in tho Beaverdam sec? tion, whore he found and destroyed a good copper still which had been in suc? cessful operation.?GreenvilU News. Ont of a Mexican Prison. San Francisco, May 5.?George W. "Wellington, of Boston, passed through this city yesterday to rejoin his wife in Boston, having justescaped from a Mexi? can prison, where he has been confined for ten years on a lifo sentence for killing his wife's assailant. A little more than ten years ago Mr. Wellington married a handsome young lady in Boston, and soon afterwards got the position of station agent at Chihuahua, Mex. His wife followed him and on tbe way attracted the attention of Ramoa Gonza? les, a Mexican army officer. She refused to listen to him, but he continued his importunities after her arrival at Cbilbuahua and laughed at Wellington's threats. One evening Wellington went home and found his wifo struggling with Gon? zales, who was attempting to assault hor, and promptly shot the Mexican dead. Ho was sentenced to penal servitude for life. For ten years ho worked as a con? vict quarry laborer. Thirteen days ago a friend named Henry French bribed a guard and Well? ington got away. He reached San Diego two days ago and at once came up the coast on If a way home. News Paragraphs. j ?

At the Aquarium in Berlin there is a big gorilla whose habits are about as correct as those of most of his distant rel? atives. He gets up at 8 in the morning and takes a bath, and uses soap without hesitation. When his toilet is completed he takes a cup of milk, after which he eats two loaves of bread, with Frankfort sausages and smoked Hamburg beef, all of which he moistens with a glass of Weiss beer. At 1 p. m. he takes a bowl of soup, with rico and potatoes, and a wing ol'a chicken. Ho uses his knifo and his fork and his napkin like one of our own four hundred; but when ho thinks that his keopers are not observing him he discards the impediments of civ? ilization and plunges his muzzle into tho bowl, as if to givo evidence of the mel? ancholy fact that evou a gorilla cau he a h"g. ? One of the most remarkable features in the recent storm at Meridian, Miss., whs tho condition of an old barn on iho plantation of Mr. Johnson nine miles and a half north-east of Quitraat). The house was built in the long ago, when the heaviest timbers in the forest woro chosen as building materials, and its massive walls were of great logs notched at tho corners in orthodox "befo-de-wah" stylo. In this building was some hun? dreds of bushels of Held peas, about three feet deep over the entire floor.

As soon as it got out of hearing of tbe band it stopped and a flagman was sent abend to ask the boys to eeaso play? ing until they could got "it through town.

She sat in front of them and sang her whole song very distinctly. One of her young attempted to imitate her. After proceeding through a fow notes its voice broke, and it lost tho tune. The mother recommenced where the young one had failed and went very dis? tinctly through with the remainder. The young bird made a second attempt, com? mencing where it had ceased before, and continuing tbe one song as long as it was able, and when tbe notes were again lost tbe mother began again where it had stopped and completed it. Then tbe young one resumed the tune and finish? ed it. This done, tbe mother sang over the whole series of notes the second time with great precision, and again a young one attempted to follew her.
