To James L. Tribbl?j ?sq.: In reading
and publishing your exceedingly inter?
esting and thoughtful article on the
financial question in the last issue of the
Intelligencer, we did not think that
yon were treading on anybody's toes in
Anderson; and in onr little editorial com?
ment on the article we did not think we
were striking at any particular indi?
vidual. But it seems we were mistaken.
The last, issue of Russell's Advocate
plainly indicates, in a two-column edito?
rial, that its editor was standing, right in
the way, and was simply punctured all
over. We never saw a plainer verifica?
tion of the old saying, "the hit dog always
yelps," and in tills Instance the "hit dog"
yelped so long and loud that we fear ho
has by this time "don tek to de woods,"
and is still yelping. Now, Mr. Tribble,
there is only one way to get out o:f this and
quiet "the yelps of the hit dog," viz.:
just own up that you are an ignoramus,
that yon know nothing about .'the finan?
cial question,sand goto Washington at
once and announce to the Sonata that, if
it wants to settle the great question that
is before it, to send at once to Anderson
for the wiseacre editor of the Advocate
and make him Secretary of Finance in
President Cleveland's Cabinet. There
will then be no further trouble or worry
about. the great question. It will be
settled. What a pity we had no); thought
of this before and suggested it to the
President. The country would have had
no panic or money stringency, and the
government saved the expense of an
extra session of Congress.
A Terrible Wreck on the Air Line.
Another railroad wreck has occurred,
this time on the Atlanta and Charlotte
branch of the Bichmond and Danville, in
charge of Superintendent Dodson, and is
accompanied by loss of life. An ugly
feature of ii is that, as far as oa a be dis?
cover d, the wreck was caused by some
fiend, whose ir tention was to wreck the
train. This wreck and the otae whioh
occurred on Thursday night, on the
Ashevllle and Spartanonrg brunch, will
cost the' system not less than $75,000, a
very heavy loss in these hard times.
The story of the wreck was obtained
from a railroad man who was a passenger
on the train from Atlanta yesterday
afternoon.
The ill-fated train, gravel train No. 40,
bound from Atlanta to Charlotte, was to
pass Seneca City, this State, shortly after
9 o'clock. It was in charge of Engineer
George F. Roberts of Blacksburg, one of
the most reliable men on the line. His
orders were to pass all stations along this
portion of the road. About 9:30 o'clock
the train came thundering down the
grade leading to the new Courtenay cot?
ton mill, 31 miles north of Seneca City.
At this point there is a switch. .The
switch had been reported all right, bat
some one had been there and In some way
thrown it open. It was too late for the
engineer to do anything when he saw his
danger. The trsin went through the
open switch and was transformed into a
complete wreck.
The fireman and brakeman jumped.
They were both' found some distance up
the road. The fireman was picked np
without serious injuries. One of the
brakemen was pretty badly hurt.
The train was loaded with negro work?
men, nearly all of whom in some mira?
culous way escaped. One of them had
his arm crushed so that it had to be am?
putated and it is not thought that he will
five.
Engineer Roberts seems to have brave?
ly remained at his post and evidently
made no attempt to jump.
He was crashed and pinned beneath
the engines/where he was slowly scalded
to death. He did jiot die till 6:45 yester?
day morning, alter enduring horrible
agony. His: body is said to have been
literally roasted by the escaping steam.
Before ho died he regained conscious?
ness for a short time and said that when
he came down the track the white signal
at the switch indicating that it was closed,
was burning all right When he got near
the switch he saw it open, bat did not
engine. He saw a good many negroes
along the road and believed tha t it was an
attempt to wreck the northbound fast
mail, which was due in half an hoar.
This fast mail was about to pall away
from Seneca City and wonld have gone
Into the wreck, bat one of the men from
the ill-fated train ran down the track and
stopped it just in time.
The locomotive is said to be a total
wreck, and the freight cars composing
the train were badly smashed.
^ The remains of Engineer Roberts will
be taken to his home for interment
The wreck of the Richmond and Dan?
ville freight, which broko away on
Thursday night last and tore down the
Salada mountain grade, seems to have
,been one of the worse wrecks that has
ever occurred on that branch of the sys?
tem. The officials of the road, who have
been at the scene of the wreck since its
occurrence, returned to the city yester?
day.
Although Superintendent McBee and
his men hud but a small corps of work?
ers, the break? were closed by yesterday
at noon and the first train since the acci?
dent got through at 1 p. m. It has been
remarkably fine work to get the trains
through.
A high embankment was torn away
for a distance of 300 feet and a costly stone
culvert caved in. Along both sides of
the track for a considerable distance is
scattered splintered cars, tracks, floor,
meats, dead cattle, coal, etc. The train
composed of nine cars became unman?
ageable, for some reason, when it first
began the descent There were several
cars loaded with cattle. As soon as the
engineer and trainmen realized that they
could not control the train they Jumped
and thereby saved their lives. The con?
ductor and one trainman were the only
po. "ons to remain aboard. The conduc?
tor worked the brakes of the cab while
the trainmen lifted out the pin which
attached the cab to the runaway 'train.
Together they stopped the cab before the
danger point was reached. The rest of
the train continued jn its mad career and
as the engine and cars flew round the
carves the cars would topple over one by
one till at the bottom the embankment
and tunnel gave way and the wreck was
complete. The engine and nine cars
composing the train, were totally demol?

CHAkLESTOit, Sept. 15;?The News ?n?
Courier's special correspondent at Bdau
fort sends to-day the following interest?
ing details in regard to the losses of the
{>hosphate rock mining companies in the
ate storm:
One of the State phosphate commission?
ers made a toar of the wrecked phosphate
mines to-day in the steamer Catherino.
The Catherine first went to William'?
Island, where the Pacific Company had
been carrying on operations. Thoh she
steamed acrrss to Buzzard's Island,
where what is left of the quarantine
station is to be seen. Just imagiue I Out
of nine buildings, only one is left. Thus
you have some idea of' the destruction
wrought.
From Buzzard's Island the commis?
sioners went around to the works of the
Farmers' Mining Company. Besides
having lost considerable in its floating
stock, the Farmers' met with much dam?
age at the works. The expensive loading
and unloading apparatus has been com?
pletely destroyed, and there was other
more or less serious loss.
The next objective point was (\vpaw.
Along the line wrecked . vessels and
others high and dry were seen. At the
Coosaw works the commissioners had a
convincing spectacle. At present Mr.
Lopez is having the place made habitable
and clearing up the debris. After steam?
ing around Coosaw river, the Sea Island
Chemical Works were inspected, but
were found to have come off lightly..
What effect the trip will have upon the
votes of the two commissioners is not
known. It was a kind of school in phos
pbateology, which was very interesting.
There is a strong probability that,
whether any assistance is given or not,
several of the largor, if not all, of the
miners will quit the business. That is
the way they talked to-day, and they are
emphatic, "and, I believe", sincere when
they say that they are not bluffing, as
many suppose.
Col. Felder, president of the Farmers'
Mining Company, had just received a re?
turn from his last shipment of rock.
Others have recently had the same ex?
perience. A cargo was seid by D. F.
Boyd, Glasgow, Scotland. Rock at Cid.
(12} cents) per unit; rock analysis 57,
freight 15s. 6d.?53.87} per ton: cost of
mining ?2.16 per ton; royalty $1?which
makes a loss of 13 cents per ton, or
5323.90 on a cargo of 2,492 tons. There is
no fiction about this. v
The companies estimate their losses as
follows: Coosaw Mining Company, $150,
000; Carolina Mining Company, $150,000;
Farmers' Mining Company, $30,000;
Beaufort Mining Company*?30,00O, total
?360,000.
Now what can the board do ? It knows
that $75,000 is pledged to the sinking
fpnd of the new issue of bonds. Can the
royalty be reduced to 50 cents and net
?75,000?
During the present year ?190,000 has
been collected in royalties. Will the
companies be in condition to mine as
much rook next year, and will all of the
present companies continue business?
Then there is the uncertainty of office.
The present commission cannot take
final action; The miners say U?t they
are in better shape than ever to get out of
the business, and that they will not go
down into their pockets for money unless
there is some certainty about matters and
they have some guarantee. They are not
disposed to spend money repairing, and
when it is done have a legislature say:
"Well, you've spent your money; we've
got you," and royalty is raised at its
pleasure.
One pl-n of relief proposed is to allow
the companies from now until January
to repair them, and then give the com?
panies a year in which to mine, and let
the ?75,000 bo raised, the companies being
allowed free of royalty all after the
?75,000. This will, if it is held, reimburse
the companies for their storm loss. The
rook on hand is to be included in that to
be paid for next year.
The miners do not seem to like this
project. In the first place, they say that
they cannot be ready for work by that
time; that it will cause a glut in the mar?
ket ; and, chiefly, that it affords no per?
manent relief.
Charleston, Sept. 15.?Governor Till
man, Senator Butler, Miss Clara Barton
and her two aids arrived here to-night.
At a meeting of the phosphate commis?
sion, held after the Governor's arrival, it
was decided that no arrangement would
be made with the phosphate companies
which would not guarantee an aggregate
royalty for the year of at least ?75,000.
Five Shot In Jail.
Columbus, Miss., September 15.?
Pickens County, Alabama, comes to the
front again with an awful butchering of
prisoners confined in the jail at Carroll
ton. Paul Archer, Will Aroher, Polk
Hill, Ed. Guyton and Ellen Fant, all
negroes, and the latter a woman, were
shot to death last night by a mob of
masked men.
Some time during last week the mill
and ginhouse of J. E. Woods were burn?
ed. In about a week the negroes were
arrested and wero confined in the Carroll
ton jail, The preliminary investigation
was in progress, but had not been con?
cluded. Last night the sheriff was called
on in his room at the jail building and
was told that parties bad a prisoner
whom they had arrested they wanted to
turn over to him. The sheriff came down
from his room, and unlocking the jail
door, found himself in the hands of a
disguised mob who demanded of him the
keys to the cell where the prisoners were
coffined. This request was urged upon
the sheriff by the glistening barrels of a
hundred Winchesters.
After the officer was overpowered the
mob quiakly made its way to the grated
colls of the prisoners and through tbe
iron bars tbe barrels of the rifles were
Slaced and from every muzzle came a
ozen balls. In a second's time five
human beings had been cruelly butcher?
ed and their quivering bodies lay in
streams of blood which ran across the
floor.
The mob then quietly dispersed after
bavin committed the cowardly and brutal
deed. Carrol 1 ton is an inland, town with?
out railroad or telegraph and it is impos?
sible to get any information as to the
testimony against the negroes charged
with arson, but it is said that one negro
confined in the jail had turned State's
evidence against the others. The mob
made him leave the jail and also told
him it would-be best for him to leave the
State. The negro left and has not been
seen since.
This is the second lynching that Pickens
County has furnished in tbe last few
weeks. Joe Floyd, a negro, was hung
by a moD ana nis Douy nuuiua wuu
bullets a few weeks ago for the murde.:
of a white farmer.
Their attorney was trying to secure
their release on habeas corpus apd the
people fearing that they would be releas ?
ed on a legal squibble, organized Wed?
nesday at midnight. The mob intended
to take the prisoners out and hang them.
When they got inside the jail the negroes
raised such an uproar that the mob was
afraid the town would be alarmed, so
they shot the prisoners in their cells.
The whole county is exoiled ovor tho
lynching.
The Torch as a Means to Bull Cotton.
Memphis, September 12.?A special to
the Commercial from Natchez, Hiss.,
says: "The large ginhouse and cotton
sheds belonging to E. D. Jones at Car?
lisle in Claybourne, Miss., on a branch
of the Yazzoo and Mississippi Valley
Road, were burned on Sunday night by
a mob of White Caps. Tho gin house
was posted about three weeks ago by
White Caps, who threatened its destruc?
tion if any cotton should be ginned there
before the price of the staple went up to
10 cents per pound, 4 number of gins
in adjoining counties have beep similar?
ly posted, but .his is the first that has been
fired.
It Is the Unloaded Gin that Kills.
Columbus, G4.., September 12.?This
morning T. W. and J. Fletcher, living at
the Radcliffe place, twelve miles east of
Columbus, were coming into town ac?
companied by a friend named Somers
with a load of produce. Somers had a
Winchester rifle, with which he had been
shooting at crows along the road, and
after emptying, as ho thought, ho
laid it in the bottom of the wagon.
When four miles down Tom Fletcher,
who was sitting on the seat with Somers
in the roar of his brother, who was driv>
ing, picked up the rifle and commenced
toying with it, all throe' being
under the impression that it was not load*
ed.
Suddenly there was a discharge and
With a cry Of pain John Fletcher fell
with blood spouting from a gaping
wound in his thigh. The "unloaded"
weapon had been discharged. He was
pioked up by his brother and Somers
and carried into a house in the vicinity,
where he expired two hours later, just
after the arrival of physicians. The ar?
tery of his thigh had been severed. All
the parties are well-to-do farmers and
are highly esteemed in tho county. Tho
deceased was 25 years old and leaves a
wife and a child.

Guthrie, 0. T., September 1(5.?All
night there was hurrying to and fro, and
but few of the 150,000 . boomers on tbe
borders of the promised land closed their
eyes in sleep. With prairie fires raging
in front and mind and bf>dy strained in
view of the comiug struggle, there was
no room for sleep nor inclination to rest.
Before the break of day everybody was
astir. This morning tbe scenes are the
same as those witnessed at all of the other
great land rushes.
The day Btarts out cloudy, with every
indication of rain beforo night.
At least ono hundred and fifty thous?
and people bivouacked on the border of
the strip last night. Long belore day?
light thousands had assembled about tbe
Santa Fe depot here, and train after train
was speedily packed with people and
pulled out lor Orlando. Arriving at Or
laudo all were compelled to leave the car
and take places with the fifteen
thousand people who had spnnt the night
here
At 11 o'clock the first train pulled up
to the line and others came right behind
it.1 There were at least half a dozen
trains. Everybody wanted to ride on the
first one and as far forward in that as
possible. With a wild shout the crowd
rufched forward. The soldiers on tbe
ground were swept from their feet, and
for a moment it seemed as though a mob
would capture the train, for men and
women were around and over the engine
and tender, upon and under the plat?
forms and even upon the roof of the
coaches.
The blue coated guardians soon recov?
ered, however, and with fixed bayonets
oleared the train and compelled everybody
to show his or her certificate before en?
tering. But on every side people
fought and struggled together near the
cars. ?
Women had th^ir clothes torn off, and
men were knocked down and trampled
upon.
Scores of people were injured, and yet
the struggle was kept up until the train
was filled, and this was repeat?
ed on a smaller scale at oacb succeeding
train.
Arkansas City, Kan., September 10.
?One hundred thousand people settled
upon the Cherokee Strip to-day. At noon
the signal was given announcing the
gassing of the title of tbe land from the
nited States Government to the boom?
ers, and a race such as was never wit?
nessed before, and will probably never
be seen again was begun. On the lines
in the vicinity of various border towns
the boomers had gathered in great num?
bers. As far as tbe eve could reach in
I either direction could be seen men
mounted aud in wagons and on foot,
closely packed together, making a n^lid
column 200 feet in the middle, and ta?
pering away to a mere streak in the dis?
tance. The scene when the column
broke at the firing of the signal gun and
eaoh individual entered a contest for a
common prize can be imagined better
I than described.
Confusion reigned everywhere. So
closoly were the contestants packed to?
gether that the start was a hazardous one.
Horsemen were unseated, wagons over
| thrown and pedestrians prostrated in the
mad rush to be off. The cries of angered
j men mingled with the neighing of panic
stricken horses, the Bbouts of the racers,
the clattering of hoofs, the rattling of tbe
wagons and the shrieks of the locomotive
combined in a roar similar to that ao
j companying the progress of a tornado.
In the race many men were injured and
some killed. Of the latter some were
killed by accident aud two were mur?
dered. The details of the crimes are not
known, but the bodies, one stabbed and
the other shot through the bead, tell the
manner of death.
Many dead horses have been found on
the prairie. Some died of over-exertion,
some were killed by falling in the race,
and others, receiving broken limbs in
the rough prairie, were shot by their
owners.
To-night the Strip, which twelve hours
r ago was wholly deserted, is a populous
country. Four of the now towns have
populations estimated at 5,000 each ; oth?
ers boast of populations ranging from
1,000 to 3,000. Every describable claim
has at least one claimant and many have
two to four,
Wagonand freight train loads of sup?
plies followed the settlers into the Strip.

Guthrie, O. T., September 16.?Infor?
mation received here by courier tolls of
four "sooners" being shot and fatally
wounded last night by soldiers. Tbe
killed bad received their certificates and
gone into tbe Strip to locate their claims.
Several soldiers came upon the "sooners"
and called upon them to bait, which they
refused to do, whereupon tbe soldiers
fired on them.
Those on the first train secured some
business lots and those on the second
some residence lots in the outskirts, but
the seven thousand in the other trains got
nothing, It was a wild and exciting race
all the way between the tiains and horse?
men, with the odds in favor of the hor?
ses. W. C. Ramsey, of Eldorado, Kan.,
was the first horseman to arrive from the
south line, and he staked a fine corner
lot at 12.28. He says a large portion of
tbe town site was taken by "sooners,"
who were walking leisurely into the
town from the west when he arrived.
Carl Craig, of Guthrie, made the run in
twenty-live minutes and was the first
man to file, securing a claim adjoining
the town site north, worth ?5,000. The
land office men were green hands and
were bunglingly making only seven
filings in two hours,
Ten thousand pooplo went to the town
site of Enid. Au Indian who stood upon
a hill and viewed the race expressed the
entire situation in tbe following terse
way: "White man heap foot, train no
good, horse beat train, man on foot who
comes sneak beat horse. Ugh!"
He Handed over $75,000.
Calumet,' Mich., September 15.?At
9.30 o'clock this morning the passenger
train on the Mineral Range railroad
coming to Calumet was held up by lour
highwaymen about half way between
Calumet and Hancock. The engineer
and fireman were covered with revolvers
by two of the robbers while the other
two ordered tbe express messenger to
put the contents of his safe in a bag
which one of them carried. Tbe mes?
senger immediately complied and hand?
ed out some ?75,000 consigned to the
Calumet and Hecla mine aud which was
part of the money to be paid by the mine
on its pay roll. After securing the booty
th robbers fired a shot and ordered the
engineer to go ahead ?-'d?d quick," which
he did.
The whole affair was such a surprise
that the passengers know nothing of the
trouble until after the train had started
again. The train w*s crowded. Light
Guards and sheriffs are out scouring the
country. It is thought that the robbers
had horses conveniently nour and a
boat ready at the lake from which
place they would make for northern
Canada.
The money secured was in currency,
and was drawn from tue banks of Hough
ton and Hancock to pay off the miners at
Calumet'.' It was soon koown thattW0
men who were well known here and all
through this region, had taken a horse
and buggy early tbic morning and driv?
en out in the direction of Calumet, Soon
after the robbery they were 6een not far
away. These men are Jack King, a pro?
fessional wrestler, and Jack Chellew, a
sporting man. They claimed to know
nothing of the train robbery, but were
taken into custody pending investigation,
and with Jack Kehoe, said to be a pu?
gilist, and two men named Butler and
Gormon, who are sports. In default of
810,0UQ bail each, they wore committed to
jail.
Paroling Convicts.
Boston, Sept. 17.?William F. TIazzard,
who has seryed live years of a twenty
five year sentence under tho habitual
criminal act, has boon released from
the State prison on parole, and the con?
tinuance of his freedom will depend
upon the manner in which he complies
with the conditions on which the parole
is granted,
The conditions are that ho shall not
hereafter lead' an idle and dissolute life ;
that he shall not visit any barroom, gam?
bling house or house of ill-fame, or asso
oiute with persons of bad character; that
he shall not violate any laws of the Com?
monwealth, but shall hereafter lead an
upright, industrious and law abiding lite.
Should bo violate any of these conditions
be will be taken back to prison to serve
the remainder of his term.
This is an experiment recommended
by Warden Bridges, who thinks it will
insure better conduct on tho part of long
term men.

"A lobster when left high and dry
among tiie rocks has not sense enough and
enorgy sufficient to work his way back to
the sea, but waits for tue sea to come to
him- If it does not come he remains
where be is and dies, although tho slight?
est exertion would enable him to reach the
waves, which are perhaps tossing and
tumbling within a yard of him." There
is u tide of human affairs that-casts men
into "tight places" and leaves them there
like stranded lobsters. If they choose to
11b where the breakers have fiuDg them,
es peeling some grand billow to take them
on its big shoulder and carry them back
to smooth water, the chances are that
their hopes may never be realized, nor is
it right they should be. The social ele?
ment ought not to be expected to help
him who never makes any effort to help
himself. We have to-day so many men
who are living entirely upon their neigh?
bors1 judgment. What we need is men of
self-reliance, men who, as far as possible,
solve their own problems, men w ho have
thought add judgment of their own aod
act accordingly. We have men even to?
day who will go with the tide and cheer
the crowd onward, who never relies upon
his own judgment, who just gives his
mouth and intellect iuto the bauds of some
one else. I have thought of the great men
of our couutiy. So many are found
among those who began life in poverty
aod hardships; many of thorn grew up in
waat was,' when they were young, the
v/intern frontier, where they had to work
h8.rd, where they had no schools and few
contorts and conveniences. They have
came from these circumstances that
seemed so discouraging and have become
Presidents, Judges, Generals or million?
aires. One reason why so many that had
.such an unpromising beginning have won
success is that they had so few helps they
were forced to help themselves. They
tbus become self reliant, and when they
went iuto the world they went straight
ahead without waiting for any one to
make a place for them. They made a
place for themselves without waiting for
anyone or everybody to advise them.
They trusted themselves. They were
prompt, energetic and sensible, and peo?
ple trusted tbem and honored them.
This reminds me of a fable I once read
about some larks, which had a nest in a
field of wheat. One ovening the old lark,
coming home, found the young ones in
great terror. ''We must leave our nest at
once," they cried. Then thoy related how
ttiey bad heard the farmer say that be
must get his neighbors to come the next
day and help him reap his field. "Oh,"
cried the old bird, "if that is all we may
rest quietly in our nest." The next even?
ing the young birds were found again in a
state of terror. The farmer, it seems, was
angry because bis neighbors had not
come and had said that he should get his
relatives to come the next day and help
him. The old birds took the news easily
and said, "there is nothing to fear yet."
The next evening the young birds were
quite cheerful. "Have you beard noth?
ing to-day ?" asked the old ones. "Noth?
ing important," answered the young. It
is only that the farmer was again angry
because his relatives also had failed, and
he said to his sous, "since neither our
neighbors nor our relatives will help us,
we must take hold to morrow, and do it
ourselves." The old birds were excited
this time. They said "we must leave our
nest to-nigbt. When a man deoides to
do a thing for himself and to do it at once
you may be pretty sure that it will bo
done."

Washington, D. C, Sept. 1?.?The
department to-day made public the ox
act facts in relatiou to the reported loss of
gold bullion from the mint at Philadel?
phia. It is as follows: On account of the
demand lor coin a vault in which some
sixteen million dollars was stored in 1887
by Mr. Preston during the term of Mr.
Fox as superintendent and which was
receipted for in bar by 0. P. Bosbyshell
without weighing, was opened on the 8th
inst and weighed. The bullion was
weighed by Mr. Morgan and was found
to be sixty bars short, valued at about
?134,000. Mr. Morgan reported to the
mint bureau the results when ho was
ordered to return to Philadelphia and
roweigh the bullion. On the second
weighing it was still found to be short.
Since this bullion was stored in the
vault the weigher, an old employee at
the mint, had sole charge of it and the
circumstances indicated that ho knew
what become of the missing bullion.
He was charged with embezzlement and
he finally admitted it. Information as to
where ?100,000 of it was reported and it
was recovered later. ? As he has expressed
a willingness to restore all he can Und the
loss will probably be between ?G,000 and
?7,000. It Is believed that the govern?
ment will lose nothing. In obedience to
orders the name of the implicated official
is given. He is Henry C. Cocbren. He
had been in the employ of the mint over
forty years. His salary was ?2,000.
Among the many stories that have gotten
afloat concerning this robbery is one to
the effect that Cochren used a common
iron garden rake which he inserted be?
tween the bars of the vault doors and
raked out the gold!* He has been at
work doing it for a number of years, but
fortunately for the government and Mr.
Rosbyshefl's bondsmen, he hoarded up
his ill gotten gold and upon being dis?
covered turned it over. *
