COMINO INTO ITS OWN. Maj. Carson Head of Bureau of Man ufacturers, Dopartmont of Commerce and Labor.Optimistic About Future of Ohar , leston. News and Courier. Washington, August 30.?"I an in thorough sympathy with the movement to inaugurate a permanent line of steamships from Triest to Charleston, and I sec no reason why such a movement should not he an entire success. Sitxy per cent of the cotton crop of the country is needed every yoar for export trade, regardless of how many cotton mills the country mny b uld. Charleston is awake to the situation and I sec no reason why, if the present plans are carried out, she should not regain her enormous export business formerly carried on." This was part of the optimistic statement made to The News and Courier's correspondent today by Major John AT. Carson, chief of the bureau of manufactures, department of commerce and labor, when told of the visit of Baron von Pilis to Charleston, and of the hitter's assurance to the business men of I lint city that a permanent line of ships wo,uld be inaugurated to ply between Charleston and Mediterranean ports by the first of the coming year. "That is what I have been trying to get the business men of the South to do for a long lime," continued Mr. Carson. "Not long ago 1 wrote lo the business organizations of practically all of the South Atlantic cities asking why they did not do something to establish permanent steamship lines to their ports. I only received one reply lo my letters. "1 know that steamship lines will take immigrants lo Charleston?just as many as the people want?because it, is their business to transport those able lo pay passage, but it is unreason able to expect them to run ships unless freight cargoes can be assured in return. "The Clinard people run a ship lo Savannah, and 1 have been Irving t" interest business organizations in Hie movement to have that line extend ils operations, "There is no reason in the world why Ihc eolloti crop of the south should be shipped lo New York, whe.i it can go just as well from Charleston. This new Mediterranean line will, I believe, lap the Ounard Line at Naples for New York, going to CharlesIon. "In a word there is nut I he least reason why I he plans of Baron von Pilis to run ships regularly from Triest to Charleston, carrying immigrants to the latter port, should not be an entire success, provided the people wiH arouse themselves to the necessity of securing the necessary return cargoes. That would give Charleston some of her former export business and will probably result in that city becoming one of the chief ports of the South Atlantic States." P. IT. MeCJ, Finding the Donkey. The usual group was gathered around "The. New York Store" talking of Dick Mullin's lost donkey, l'.very one had been looking tor it, without success, since it linil .strayed onr Ol the pasture lot a .lay <>r two before, .Jiiu Thompson, a lanky individual, regarded as more or less of an imbecile by the townsmen, finally spoke up: "1 think 1 could ft ml your donkey." "How can you find him, dim," asked the owner, "when the best men in town ain't been able to git trace of him?" "Wa-al," rejoined .Tim,'1 kin Ivy, can't 1'? How much is it worth to ye?" The owner "allowed it was worth a dollar. "All right," said .Tim, and walked away on his search. To Ihe surprise of all he returned in less than hall an hour leading Ihc missing donkey by a rope halter. "Sakes alive!" exclaimed Mullins as he paid over the dollar, "how in the world did ye find him so quick ' .Tim?" "Wa'al," returned dim, "I thought to myself, 'Now, ef I was r jackass where would I go?' And sc 1 went tliotV. and lie had."

RICHARD MANSFIELD DEAD. - Best Known Actor on Amorican Stago Passes AwayEnd Game Friday Morning at Half-past 6 O'clock. New London, Conn., August 30 ? Richard Mansfield, the best-known aci tor on Die American stage, passed away at 0.J0 o'clock this morning at ) his summer residence, Seven Oaks, Ocean avenue. Death was directly i duo to illness of the liver, aggravated ! hy complications. Mr. Mansfield's condition had been | reported as being excellent. It was) stated thai he had stood the journey well from Saranac Lake and that lie was up and around his home here until three days ago. Then a turn for the worse set in and Mr. Mansfield was confined In his room. On J Thursday Dr. MeClellan, of Pittsj burg, was summoned. Dr. Allen said today lliat ho had feared the worst for several days. During I lie great ador's lasl moments lie did not recognize I lie love.l ones at his bedside. There were present at the time of his death his wife, his brother, Felix, his young son, fSibbs, and the physicians and nurses. Directly opposite Seven Oaks, Mr. Mansfield's late home, is a small burial plot in which are buried Iho members ol I he Gardner family, from whom Mr. Mansfield purchased his summer home.

All day today telegrams of condolence have been received from all parts df Ihe world. Farm Labor Laws. I'.dilor Daily Mail:?So many of good fanners are asking us about, the farm labor laws that we think it worth while to write a card for the papers giving some information in regard to the present slatus of these laws. \\ e Ii11?I ;hat there is a very general misunderstanding among farmers as to what their rights are at this lime with respect to farm labor contract-;. In fad most people seem to think I hat farm labor contracts now confer no rights at all upon the land owner. This is error. It is true that Judge R raw ley has declared to he unconstitutional the law of this state making it a criminal offense for a laborer to violate a farm labor contract, and if Judge Draw-ley's decision is affirmed by the supreme court of the United States no laborer can be prosecuted for violating such contract, until a new law can be passed that will be unobjectionable. ''his, however, in no wise affects the law making it a misdemeanor for any person to employ a laborer under contract with another. A farmer, a cotton miJl man or any other pcr?on nifty still be prosecuted under Section -? >!) of (he criminal code for eniiciiig or persuad'.fio- iUlv (onani, sen ant or laborer under proper eon{ act wiih another to violate such Contract*?or for employing any laborer knowing such labor to be under contract with another. The punishment is by live of not less than $25 nor more than $100, or imprisonment lor not less than ten and not more than thirty days, Not only this, but any such person so enticing, persuading or employing a laborer, tenant or servant under contract with another mav be sued lor damagr^, both actual damages and punitive damages or "smart money, - and is liable to have to pav a heavy sum to his neighbor whom he has wronged. This was the ease at common law, and is all the more true | in South Carolina since, Ihe passage ol the criminal act above referred to. It is not thought that the juries of Ihe country would be very lenient with a man who would maliciously in' teifcre with his neighbor's labor eon tincts in tho present condition ot al fairs. The citizens of the slate can still control the situation, 1 to the best interests of both employer and laborer, by exercising a proper regard for the contract rights of their neighbors. ^ These two remedies arc not affectj. fd by Judgo Brawley's decision, And it is thought that the laws above referred to arc not open to any objection that can bring them into the , United States courts.

Groat Sport That Used to Obtain Arkansas. , According to a man w^io has li in Arkansas for thirty-five years, most exciting hunts ever experieti were in the days when hogs ran v in the woodlands of the state, s the Alabama Gazette. Even a don tic ho.f is a fighting animal and tothey will retrograde to wild anin if ailov- od freedom of the woods, the ferocity of the domestic swim mild compared to the ferocity of tl ancesxrs of the wood. T'u main things necessary to luM.t of the wild hogs was a pack trained dogs, a fleet-footed horse t could clear logs and stumps will graceful leap and a rifle or a sli gun. Fox hunting in England formed I he basis for artistic pictu and stories of both fact and ficti but hog hunting in Arkansas was faster and more dangerous game, is declared by those who know he Owing to the density of the fore the bugs were hunted in broad d: light. The animals roamed the \vo< at night, but during the day tl slept in the boggy places. The d< which were trained for the hunt oh ed a head of the horsemen. The euliar yelps of the dogs notified I lum!ors when the animals had hi sighted, and the trained horses once dashed into a gallop. In those days the woods were fil with fallen trees. Sometimes canebrakes completely hid the < stni.'t'.on and horse and rider w dashed without warning to ground. In order lo run faster hogs would break for open plots I he limber and then horses and !< would begin I he final dash for prev. The dogs were trained for the s purpose of hunting and they ku the trails of their game. The di never attacked singly, but in pai When they caught up with a hog tl would run along by bis side and In dogs at the same moment woi grasp an ear. Sometimes one < would lose hold and this meant slant death to the other dog. With powerful jerk of the head the I would loss the dog in the air and i! rend him to pieces as he fell to ear During a hunt when a herd of Ik were being pursued some of the I skillful dogs always lost their liv The hogs when finally driven bay made one final stand. They In died into a circle, all tails togeth In every direction there was a hoi snout pointing. At this critical stf of the hunt the dogs would cir round and round and the hunti without dismounting would tire on t animals. Large parties of hunti Averc known to kill as many as hundred hogs in n day. These Wild hogs, it. appear, wi wild from instinct. Efforts to ta the pigs, which were sometimes c?' tnrcd alive, proved about as futile the absolute domesticating of a III gal tiger. These young hogs coi be penned up, fed and more or li petted, but it was only a (piestion time until some morning the farn would awake to find the pen brok and the hogs escaped to the wildi ness of the woods, III the for?*'- Vliere the oaks w< abundant there would in *..ine yes be bumper crops of acorns. The w hog preferred the acorn to any oil food. The animals that fattened these nuts possessed a flavor of mi which is foreign to the ?f>rn and sli fed hogs of the domestic variety day. These hogs, it is claimed, w not killed wantonly, but were m for food. Tn those parts of Arkan where the wild animals were plei fill the smokehouses of the farm bulged with .luicy bams. j A man who lives in Little Kook ( I who is the owner of a large cot plantation, was a hog hauler thi years ago. lie almost lost his 1 once- by jumping from bis horse f attempting to kill a large liog by c ting its throat while the dogs h on to the ears. As lie jumped from his horse, charger frightened at something J instead of standing by as susal, i off through the woods. The linn slashed the neck of the hog, but not drive deep enough to cut the j vilar vein. The wound only maddened the ready infuriated animal, which tn ed to rend the hunter. The faith dogs, however, managed lo hang to the ears of the hog. Although t man followed the chase frcqucn after that experience he never < mounted from his horse to try anc er hand toliand battle with the v hog.
