Governor John Gary Evans has sent his
farewell message to the General .ssembly.I
The document is a voluminous one arnd
shows a thorouch familiarity with every)
branch of tbe State government. It alsoI
shows that the Governor has kept a watch
ful eye on the State's finances and was
careful to see that its monies were so in
vested as to result in a profit to the State.
His views on the .ispensar'y and the met-f
ropolitan poilice system are very interest
in, and his review of all the public insti
tutions makes his message a very readable
paper, This farewell miessage is an ableI
state paper, in fact, one of the ablest we
ae ever read. Governor Evans. in re
tig from the gubernatorial chair. goes
back into private life with a mission un
fulfilled, and we predict a day will come
when the people will remuember the wrong
done 'him by unserupnlous politicians.
Governor Evans was the logical candidate
for the Umted States Senate. His services
to is party won for him that prestage, but
fate was against him: the place so Well de

MR. RHIND'S REPORT
About the South Carolina Bon
Commission iMatter-Governor
Evans Did no Wrong.
At last Mr. Colden Rhiud. the At
us1a, Ga., broker, who could not 1)
Loested during the last c:mpaign, i
his State whlen the question of th
dl of the State bonds and Govern
Evans's connection theiewith was th
irder of the day, has spoken. II
adoie his appearance in Augusta SOm
e ago, but interest in the commin
ion charges having decreased, ii
paid partieuhir attention to Li
returu. Mr. Rhiud has now wad
public the following statement in rE
.ard to the boud matteLr, wbich migh
,ave been made of peculiar iutere
ad a few plain questions been aske,
.im while lie was imaking it, bUt as i
the state eur, being tLe first U
Wuy description to come from 3i
hiud, will doubtless be carefull.
ead by hundreds of people in vari
>us portious of the State:
"The transaction was a busines
me, and my first interview with Guv
,ruor Tillman came about from a let
er which I had received from a Wal
;treet banking house to which I ha(
,ritten, calling attention to the Soutl
arolina bonds, the letter saying tha
hey had bought and sold $10,000,
)00 of bonds within the last three o
bur months, and would like for m
o get for them all the information
ould get in regard to the South Car
)Iina debt and present the bonds fo
heir consideration. This letter
;howed to Governor Tillman and i
-esulted in his giving me a contrac
:o sell at 4 per cent. 44-year bond fo
:he State. The Wall street house, af
:er looking into the bonds, decide<
hat the credit of the State did no
,arrant it in expecting to float a
>er cent. boncd, but said that if a 4 1-:
>er cent. gold bond were issued, the;
ould probably consider it. I et
raged Mr. Evans to aid me in gath
ring information necessary to pu
he bonds properly before the bank
ug houses. Mr. Evans at that tim
>ad been a member of the lowe
aonse of the Legislature, which tie.
tood adjourned, and was afterwart
lected to the Senate of the StatE
l'he 4 per cent. bonds had been ad
7Ctised for sale, but uo satisfactor;
>id had been received when the tim
'or the opening of the bids came.
The bonds were refused considera
:ion by mlany promiuent house
11 New York, and it was wit]
nreat diniculty that auy of then
ould be inducei to give the matte
hearing. and I gave up the idea o
elling theu.
"After the 4 per cent bonds ha,
>een offered in vain by the Stat,
brough various people. I was au
horized to negotiate for a 4 1-2 pe
:eut bond at par, the negotiations ti
)e made subject to the approval o
he Legislature, and after trying sow
ime in vain to find a buver for thi
)onds, I spoke of them to Mr. Lan
~aster, who said that he thought li
ould find a man who would organiza
syndicate to take the bonds. I of
ered him one-third of my commiis
ion to introduce me to such a mai
mud was introduced to Mr. F. C
rnench of the Manhattan Trust Com
>any, who undertook to organize
vndicate, and had nearly complete
t when he was stricken with illnes
LUd withdrew. In the meantimE
noney began to be stringeut an,
ythers withdrew from the syndicate
['hen Mr. Lancaster organized a syn
icate that mnade an offer for th
>onds at the price and on the term
Lt which they were finally sold, h
greeing that my commission shoul<
>e paid by the syndicate and not b;
he State in consideration of the con
~essions made by the State of the in
erest azcruing between Januaty an<
luly. This contract was accepted b;
be State late in December, 1892
bout the 24th, I thbiuk. Subsequent
y, .I am told, some of the member
>f this syndicate withdrew and the'
Sr. Laucaster organized the Balti
uore syndicate, which undentool
tud fully carried out the contrae
with the State that was made by th
riginal syndicate, but i had no di
~eet transaction with the syndicate.
"I can only add that I have neve
aid a dollar to Mn. Tiliman, nor ha
mne word in relation to the transac
ion passed between us which
vould be unwilling for the public t
ear-. Mr. Evans's connection wit]
he transaction has already bee;
tated, except that he contined '
ounsel in this litigation till electe<
~overnor.
"I would say in conclusion, tha
myone who wvill dispassionately comn
mae these 4 1-2 per cent. 20-40 bond
that is the State has the option c
edeeming them in 20 years and cai
ben probably refund them at 3 1
~er cent.) with the old 4 per cent
4-ear bonds will see a large saving
o the State and further, the sink-in
~und will reduce the debt in the firs
20 y-ears considerably over $1,500,00C
bus cutting off after 20 years $67.
00 a year from the interest to b
paid by the State. That this trans
iction was a good one for the Stat,
will be shown by the accompanyin;
irticle from The Newvs and Couriei
which was very antagonistic to th
State governmeut; and the furthe
fact remains th~at within twvo or thre
weeks after the bonds were paid fo
:hcy were selling in the open marke
it about 90 cents on the dollar.
"The money that was recentl
warded to the syndicate was mone
>riginally to thme credit of Mr. Lar!
-aster with the Baltimocre Trust an
Guarantee Company, representiu
:he comrunissionis against wvhich h
bad given me drafts for my portio
of the commuission. The compan
was restrained frcm p)aying out th
money by iuenbers of the Baltimor
syndicate, wvho claime<' that no meir
b'er of the syndicate (Mr. L. being
member) was entitled to receive an
part of the commission. I had neve
ad any dealings with thisi syndicat
excep't through Mr. Laucaster, an
teefore there was no issue betwee
tWe syndicate and myself as to th
terms of the agreement. The muone

Animat Remains In Coal.
Most people know that coal is full of
Svegetable remains, but comparatively
s few are aware of the fatct that animal
- and insect bodies by countless millions
[ also go to make up the great beds of
> fuel that are now being so extensively
Sdrawn upon. The vegetable impressions
Sfound in coal or in the shale just above
Sthe vein are very beautiful as well as
numerous, not less than 1,500 different
kinds of plants having been noticed in
the carboniferous seams in the different
parts of the world. Some of these plants
are very much like those now living,
a but the majority of them, even though
f found in Nova Scotia or Iceland, appear
1to be representatives of what are now
tropical varieties.
Many animals and insects arc also
found foselized and thoroughly pre
.served in tihe coal beds. These petrified
creatures cf the bygone age called the
"coal period" are of various kinds.
Huge toadlike reptiles with beautiful
teeth, small tree lizards, great fish with
Stremendous jaws, tiny water mites,
- snails "hundred legged" worms and
Sthousands of insects of the grasshopper
Sand dragon fly tribes are also found.
-,The curious fact is that there is not a
Ssingle representative of these fossilized
r creatures now living.-St. Louis Re

rsaddleback Ledge Light.
t' This is one of the wildest and bleak
est of light stations of that savage re
Sgion, and, according to a story told
e thcre, it was once the scene of a remark
- ably plucky adherence to duty on the
Ipart of a 13-year-old boy. He was the
son of the keeper, and on this occasion
was left alone in the tower while his
e father went ashore for provisions in
their only boat. Before the latter could
return a violent storm arose, and for
e the next three weeks there was no time
e in which the keeperts boat could have
- lived for a moment in the wild seas that
a raged about the lon~ely rock. Still the
y~ light wais kept burning by that 15-year
rold boy, who had little to eat and but
a scant time to sleep. Night after night
jfor three weeks its steady gloam shone
Sthrough the blackness of the pitiless
storm and gladdened the father's strain
ing eyec. When the ordeal was ended,
the~ boy was so weak from exhaustion
sas to be barely able to speak. At the
s sam'e time there was no proudecr father
nor happier young light keeper on the
a Maine coast than those who met on the
I storm swept ledge of Saddleback that
day.-Kirk Munroe in Scribner's.

down into the purple plain. Their qua
vcring songs floated up to me with a
strange beauty. Each morning, while
it was still dark, the women woke me
by entering the room where I lay to
grind corn, and each night I went to
sleep to the regular rhythm of the meal
ing stone timed to the mystical reli
gious chant of the toiling women.
"Let it be said that there is no wom
an slavery among these people any more
than among the Navajoes. The women
are chief property holders. The house is
gencrally the woman's, and descent is
through hcr and not thr-ough the father.
The men are seldom severe in manner,
and in Acoma and Walpi, as well as in
Laguna and Zuni, I saw the men tak
ing care of the babies and doing it with
great tenderness and smiling patience.
I saw no evidence of any severity except
in case of the old women. They seemed
to be the drudges of the household in
Walpi and in Acoma, carrying wood
and bottles of water up the steep trail,
bent, withered, morose and complain
ing. They alone of all these people
seemed saturnine."
Ingenious Peruvian Potteries.
A long, slim neck is a distinguishing
feature of much of the Peruvian pot
tery, and nearly every vessel is orna
mented with a figure of some sort, hav
ing holes to represent eyes and other
openings. These afford a passage for the
air forced out by the liquid when pour
ed into the vessel. Ey an ingenious con
trivance the air in escaping produces a
sound similar to the cry of the creature
representeJ. Thus a utensil decorated
with two monkeys embracing each oth
er, on having water poured into or from
it, would give a sound like the screech
ing of those animals. One decorated
with a bird would emit birdlike notes,
while a mountain cat on one jar would
mew; snakes coiled around another
would hiss. The most curious that we
have seen was the figure of an aged
woman. When the jar was in use, her
sobs became audible, and tears trickled
down her cheeks. The manufacturers
seemed to have known all about atmos
pheric pressure. Dr. Le Plongeon had
in his own collection a piece that dem
onstrated this. It represented a dou
ble headed bird. The vessel had to be
filled through a hole in the bottom, and
yet in turning it over not a drop would
spill, but the liquid would readily flow
out when the jar was simply inclined.

Cautious Prophet.
In these days, when people are wont
to complain of any mistake made in the
prognostications sent out from the
weather bureau, it is amusing to read
of the complaisant manner in which
Clough, in his "New England Alma
nack" for the year 1702 and later, pre
dicted the weather.
'Perhaps," he says, from the 15th
to the 23d of January, "it will be very
cold weather if it frese by the fireside
or on the sunny side of a fence at noon."
In April he says: "Perhaps wet
weather if it rains." "Now fair weath
er if the sun shines. "" Windy or calm. "
And in July he - rites pleasantly,
"If now the weathedro prove fair, peo
ple to Cambridge do repair."
It appears that Mr. Samuel Clough
knew how to secure himself against
The wheat of southern countries con
tains more albuminoids than that grown
in temperate or northern zones, and
hence is better suited for the manufac

In 1828 Havana was desolated by a
