A sensational incident eeurredi at Earje's bridge, on Sencea river, in An derson coundy Sunday. Two children, aged 11 arnd l2. respectively, named Taylor, accompanied by an old negro woman, went to the river to play on a large roc that jutted out over the wat e.Techildren lost their balance and fell into the river. This was the narrative of the old darkey at the coro ner's inquest, thoigh she added by way of appendiix that ::he had "dived ' after thte children. The verdict of the coro ner's jury was that the children came to their death by causes unkrnown to the jury. The mother is known as "Sis' Taylor, and she lives on the Sharpe place. Remarkable Railroad. On2e of the most remarkable railroads in the United States is that nshich runs fromn Fabyaa. at the foot of Mount WVashiogeon, to the summit, a distance of 3.3S miles. Th -time required in amaking the ascent is one and one half hours, which is at the rate of a mile in twenty-seven mitnute:s. The descent is made in the samte time. The fare is $4 for the round trip, or at the rate of 13) cents a mile. No other road in the world charges quite sa much, and few run trail s quite so slow a speed. About 6, 000 passengers are cairieu au nually. Pile of Human Bones. Rather agrueso-ne arnd inten~ sting dis covery was recently made at Espanita, FHa.

The tops of the American and British buildings were badly torn by the Chi nese shells. The rest of the foreign settlbment was almost denonisbed. Two thousand eight hundred shells fell there during the first three weeks of the bombcrdment, 400 in one day. Bucket fuls of bullets were gathered in the grounds.

It we~: to be v:eil uuderstood that my ewetion stands for thorough independ ence of action in the executive office, without the dictation and manipulation Of any mar, and without the controlling biss of factional intcrents. "The time has coma for the asser tion of manhood and of personal choice in the selection of a chief magistrate, and while my vo:c largely represents a positive conviction as to the manage ment of the iiqu:,r question in South Carolina. the prohibition Democrats are also in sympathy with that sentiment which resents the domination of politi cal leaders, who would suppress individ uality and make the bulk of the voters su~ateient to the will of a few men. Only in certain localities in this State can machine politics prevail, and we have a striking instance now that ex tremes can be made to meet. The Dis pensary Law has been fought with rancor and persistence in the city of Charleston until qui:e recently. So long as there was any real attempt at the enforcement of the law, the opposi tion in Charleston was positive and undeni::ble, r ked by the power of the political niachine wdich h1l4 sway for so many years. Governor Mc eeney's admini-irdtion has changed this aspect of affairs, not as a measure of "ptace and unit}," but as a realiza ion t- t both ekmnents can find more ~atisfaction in pursuing a different line 0' poli y. The L~jrd tigers are practi lin umolested, while the dispensaries iurs fro the unceasirg patronage i the tiger:. The increased consump ton of liuor thus sold by the dispen arie enhances the revenue of the city and county, which receive 90 pcr cent f t'ne dispensary pronits. In return for this happy state of attairs more than 70 per cent. of Charleston's vote has gone to Governor McSweeney, who is the beneficiary in this instance, and will remain in politicai favor so long as he creates no disturbarnce of the present stuation. "South Carolina furnishes the humi listing spectacle of a chief magistrate receiving political support by reason of the non-enforcement of one of its most import ant laws. His connivance at open and general violation of this law has been constantly rebuked on the hustings by M1essrs. Gary and VOt terson, and he has been challenged tieand ag-ain :~iring the campaign to issun instractions to the constables to matke raids upon the places where liquor is opcaly -and ilegally sold, au thorizing them to seize fixtures and con fiscate a piie-. Governor 31eSweeney's rsponse has been to read instructions issued to constables in June, 1899, which instructions have been notori ously disraerided and to make the plea~:hat catbes miust furnish bonds in asizina tixtures which he seemed to reard al a hardshp. The State has reac~cd lowebb hen its oficeials can not be p'rovidedl with the necessary baking a -y oct a very ordinary provniin of the law. it is a pitiable co 's~a on the part of the Gover ner. bu nt more so than his frequent adisin in the campaign that the d sp-nsary law cannot be enforced in Ch arlec-ton, while ini almost the same res a e has.~ asarted roundly thiat the awv was better enfocrced under his ad mini-tration thian at any ti-ne since it h . bp n onhe stat ite books.

It was begun some years ago, and in alarge measure the people were acquiescing in the submerging of factional differences, but the recent campaign has witnessed adroit and fre quent allusions to the past, which were iatended to revive contentions and bickerings so as to divide the forces in to hostile camps. Governor NeSween ey has been the legatee of such work, whether or not he approves of it, and no doubt he enjoy the results of ru::h appeals to fraltioual spirit in the see ond primary, if they can be made ef fective. WHERE HE WAS SCRATCHED. Table of those Who Scratched Tillman by Counties It will be interesting to figure out what proportion did the ':cratehine in each county." Senator Tillman's promise. which was questioncd, that he would not accept the cfiee of Senator if he were not voted for by a majority of the totalvote east was entirely safe and everyone who knew anything about the affairs of the State ought to have known this, but some actually seem to think that with no opposition a considerable portion of the voters were going to cut him and make his election doubtful under his promise. A comparison of the votes for Governor and for Senator show s the following number of "Till man scratchers" in each county: Abbeville .................... 43:3 A iken................... .... 447 Anderson..... ...... 994 Bamberg ................... 100 Barnwell.................. 267 Beaufort..................i1S Berkley...................

Hoyt his biggest vote. Take for instance Anderson. Col. Hoyt carried that county by a clear majority and it will be noticed that Tiliman was badly scratched there. Greenville is another county that gave Col. Hoyt a majority and scratched Tillman badly. In Richiland and Spartanburg counties Col. Hoyt ran weil, and they scratched Tillman. Charleston on the other hand went for MSweeney but scratched Tillman very little. THAT FULL DINNER PAIL. Some Rr e eetions on a Favorite Repub lhcan Argument. )r.e ofi our Republican contemporar ies prints a picture of a workman's dinner psi on cvery page of every is ue. There is an inscription which says that the pail is full, and as we are not allowed to look inside we have to take the editor's word for it. "The Full Dinner Pail" is the chief Republican argument this year. It is on the cround that a workman is able to fill -. tin bucket with edible matter that the American pcople are asked to co-:ecnt to the transformation of this rpublic into an empire. \Xll, let us assume for the moment that the "Full Dinrner Pail" is a reali ty, ar.d not a :nyth. Let us assume that the workingman who puts in eight or ten hours of exhausting labor a day is really able under Republican "pros perity" to put two or three sandwiches, a wedge of pie and a pint of coffee into a tin bucket. Under those conditions, the contents of the 'Full Dinner Pail" may be worth 15 cents. Mr Jlohn D. Reckfeller has an income of about $40J,0t30,000O a year. That is over $1:30,000) per working day. Mr. Rockfeller's daily income would fill the dinner pails of 900.in;0 work men. In other words, Republica.n prosperity puts the dinners of 900,000' workers into one man's modest littbk pail. That is the Republican idea of good times. Nine hurndred thousand men happy and grateful because they can ut 15 cents worth of dinner apiece into their tin buckets, and one man whio absords as nmuch of their earni~e as the cos: of the whole 900l.000 di nrs pur. together. Tfhere arc aeores 'of monopolies like~ Mr. Rockfeller. differing only in degree. and '1he uarned incomes of 100 o' themi emuld probably pay for the~ din urs of all the workiagmen in the Uitd Sates. If the policy of favor in nc ocentrations of wealth were a~lterd. the workers might have not nly full dinner pails, but possibly ome of the little luxuries that Repub ican policy considers entirely out of their sprere.-New York Jiournal. Lamb Stealing Eagles. Two large eagles have been giving the farmers of Port Jervis N. Y., much trouble of late. They have carried away young lambs and a valuable hound pup, and miothers are now in a state of terror lest the eagles next turn their DROUGHT DOE3 DAMa4GE The Hot Wave of August Plays Havoc With Crops Tie Greenvillc News says "the swciterir" and lu e hot spell of the suth of August has played havoc with the crops. not only in this section but .in almost every section in the Suuth. The cotton crop is the most seriously damaged and planters are be ginning to feel blue over the situation. "The cotton crop, which is always the largest crop in this State, will, it is thought by prominent farmers, fall far below the general yield and there are many large planters who do not even expect to make half a crop. The con dition of the crops in Georgia is just as serious as in this State. "The cotton fields in Greenville and other neighboring counties present a parched appearanee because of the drought and the young bolls have be gun to fall off. In a general soaking rain should fall within the next few days it is not believed that the cotton crop would be benefitted, as the great damage has already been done." "Not only the cotton crop but other crops are showing bad effects from the drought. The sweet potatoe yines have commenced to look sickly and dried up, and unless there is a fall of ruin very soon this crop will be serious ly damaged throughout the State. A good heavy rain within the next few days would bring out the potato crop wonderfully, for August and September are the months that the potato crop does the best if the seasons are good. "The corn crop has been seriously damaged also by the lack of rain. The ears of corn are small and the grains are not full grown. In some sections of this county the upland corn crop has been totally destroyed. The bottom laud corn, however, in many sections is in a very good condition. "To some extent the drought has in terfered with the working of the roads. The ground is so bard and dry that the road overseers find it a difficult task to do anything with the roads. The fol lowing letter from Columbia was re ceived at the cotton exchange office here yesterday: "I cannot too fully impress on you the fearful disaster that has overtaken our crop. In many fields on many stalks every boll is open even to the little ones. Am certain that all South Carolina southeast of Columbia will make 20 to 30 per cent less than last year, even with abundance of rain from now on. The portion north of us with rains and late frost may make 10 to 20 per cent over last year, but as a whole the State will be short of last year." A "Yankee" Trick. Senator Vest has a story he some times tell to illustrate Arkansas char acter of the Bourbon mossback type. According to the narrative the Sena tor, in the days following the Civil War, when he practiced law, had oc casion to drive across one of the ,oun ties of Arkansas to keep a legal engage: ment. He thinks it was in the north east part 11 the State, just below the Missouri uine. The journey went very well until the Senator came upon a group of natives in the road. Across the roadway a tall tree had fallen squarely. There was no way to get around and lay out a new road after the usual plan of dealing with such an ob struction in that country. The tree had to be meved. Neighbors had come from all around in response to the sum mons of the road overseer. They had strung their teams out and had tried two or three pulls without any result beyond breaking a couple of trace chains. They had stopped to deliberate on the next step. The Senator l oked at the tree and at the helpless crowd of Aikansas natives, and then said: "Why don't you cut the tree in two at Lhe middle anid haul the ends out of the way \ There was a moment of silence, bro ken suddenly by one of the crowd, who reached for his gun and exclaimed: "Yankee, by. gum!" Too Common to Notice. Anti-negro riots are becoming so frequent in New York city that they seema no longer to attract much atten tion. The third within three weeks occurred Sunday when a negro danger ously shot a white messenger boy. The New York Press says there were several dangerous outbreaks against the ne groes, but the police were equal to the occasion and no serious harm was done. These frequent occurrences will hardly account fur the claim made in some uarters that the results would be the syme if the (ifender were an italian, a G reek or a Chinaman. Here Is Your Chance.

HIS PLATFORM RESTATED. The Governor Thanks His Friends for Supporting Him. Asks Their Votes in Sec cnd Primary. Following the:receipt of the returns from the first primary election, Gov. McSweeney Thursday issued the fol lowing address: To the People of South Carolina: Fully appreciating the largo vote which I received in the primary on Tuesday as a strong endorsement of my administration, I desire to express to my friends my sincere acknowledge ment for the support given. The battle is to be fought over again between Col. Hoyt, the prohibition candidate, and yself on Tuesiay, Sept. 11. The vote on Tuesday showed that the sentiment of the State is against pro hibition by statutory enactment, and in favor of the dispensary as the best solution of the liquor question. While fully persuaded that this is true, yet I do not rest my claims en tirely on the liquor question, because there are other issues of as far reach ing importance. I have felt it my privilege, as well as my duty, to ask my fellow citizens to endorse my administration by giving me a fall term, and I have rested my claims on the record of my administra tion. It has been my earnest endeavor to discharge the duties of the office faith fully and impartially and to follow no lead but that of duty. My efforts have been to give the peo ple a business administration, free from politics, because this is peculiarly a business age. In how far success has crowned my efforts the question is submitted to the business men of the State. There has been good feeling among all the people of the State and I have contributed what I could as chief ex ecutive to that end. There is no reason for our people to be divided into hostile camps, for such a course would retard the material development and progress of the State. The charge that the dispensary law has not been enforced has been met and answered fully by me on every stump in South Carolina. It is better en forced than since it has been on the statute books, and it has been enforced with fewer constables, with less ex pense and without friction or bloodshed. It should be remembered that the charge of non-enforcement comes large ly from those who oppose the law and want to see it overthrown, and who are no more in favor of prohibition than the dispensary, but are endeavoring to use prohibition with which to kill the dispensary. I am deeply grateful for the hearty support given me by the people of the entire State; and, as to Charleston, my desire is that the people of that city shall feel that they are an important part of the commonwealth, and Char leston being the metropolis of the State, her citizens should be in business and commercial touch with every section of South Carolina. I feel that the support given me in Charleston and Columbia is the support of business men and those who endorse a business administration and are tired of eternal bickerings and en arlings and captious fault-findings. The educational issue has been over shadowed by that of liquor, and it is well to say that my record for the com mon schools and the State colleges has always been positive and for their hearty support. I may say, incident ally and modestyl, that I am no recent convert to the support of the higher educational interests of the State, but stood there when they needed friends in the senate and house of representa tives. I have made no deals but have held myself free to follow the path of duty and rather than have my hands tied by deals and combinations, I should pre fer defeat. In making appointments it has been my endeavor to select men of character and efficiency. Believing in local self government in all local matters, the counsel and advice of the senators and representatives from each county have been sought. I believe the people, recognizing the justice and fairness of giving my ad ministration the endorsement I seek, will give me a handsome majority on the 11th of Septembor. My friends should not become over confident, however, because there is al ways danger in over confidence. If they turn out and vote, success is assured, and aside from my personal interests, it is of the utmost importance that there be a free and full ballot in the secotd primary. M. B. McSweeney. A Suspicious Coincidence. A little study of the passenger lists of steamships bound for Europe will disclose a peculiar phenomenon. It will be found that statesmen (i. e.) Congressmen) who were conspicuous in their advocacy of the shipping subsidy bill, sometimes cedled the Hanna-Payne bill, have almost without exception taken a trip to Europe this summer. But it will further be noted that with equal uniformity they have chosen to travel by the " Anmerican Line" boats. These, it will be remembered, are the ones controlled by the international Navigation Comp~any, of which Mr. Griseom is the head, and which was (or is) to get about $9,000,000 a year out of the proposed legislation. Of course, no one believes that a free trip wu the Paris Exposition would warp the jainent of the eminent statesmen who have urged the passage of this 'iilation and the facts above noted ac interesting only as a coincidence. Nothing Strange Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, who is in a luatic asylum, has been renominated for Congress by a convention of his party and the papers are commenting on it as if it was something to be wont dered at. Mu.ch worse lunatics than Mr. Boutelle have been nominated for
