MAY 21. 1902. A newspaper correspondent up in North Carolina, noting the fact that work is shortly to begin on the new double truck of the Southern between Lynchburg and Charlotte, rnukes the point that the tobacco crop will be short next season because farmers cannot depend on their negro help to remain on the farms when tho call comes for railroud hands. Titus Glenn, the negro prencher who was sent up from ltock Hill some time ago for burglary, escaped from the chningang last Monday evening about sundown. He had a half hour's start before he was missed. The bloodhounds chased him beautifnlly for three miles, when they caught him, and according to Supervisor Gordon, "bit him sufficiently," although that was nothing like what he got that night with n strap. The attendance at the Charleston exposition up to this timo is estimated at 500,000 and the prospects are that the attendance will reaeh the 600,000 notch before the close of the show, which is a little more than half the number figured by the officials of the exposition just prior to the opening of the big show. At that timo it was thought that the attendance for the ontire period of the fair would reach 1,000,000 paid admissions. The volcano that wrought so much havoc on the 8th of this month on the island of Martinique is within the urea that was 60 greatly disturbed by the celebrated earthquake that destroyed the city of Lisbon, Portugal, in 1775, and that of the destructive earthquake that occurred in 1812 in the northern part of {South America and destroyed the cily of Curacus, Venezuela, with 12,000 people. These cities are now much safer for many years to come than if Mont Pelee had not behaved so badly. She opened her crater and let out the pent-up force that was a constant menace to that area. Ice Cream Oil. The farmer who 6ells his cotton seed to the oil mill, pockets the money, and turns the coiner to a hnndy ice cream saloon, where he may cool and soothe his inner man, little thinks that the commodity he has just unloaded from his wagon has in it the crude elements of the popular disli he purchases. But it in nono the less true. We are no longer dependent on "Old Sia Cow" for our creniu. and when she goes on strike, upsets the bucket and flees to the further pasture, we simply turn us to the can of salad oil and get all the fats needed to make our creaui. And thnt. without a single microbe to trouble us. This may sound a little wild to the "horny handed," but if he will watch the pretty girl who demonstrates at the Western exhibit in Charleston, he may see the whole process, utul if ho is good, may eat some of the ereatn. The cow is no longer 'it" when ico cream is concerned. - Congress Helps Martinique Sufferers. Congress has established n precedent in appropriating $200,000 for tiie relief of the sufferers in 1 lie Martinique disaster. This is the first time in American history that a direct appropriation has been made to foreign people. Congress has on several of her occasions such as the Irish famine in 1817 and 1880, and the famine in India ill 1997, taken steps to relieve distress with other countries, such as authorizing the navy department nient to lend vessels to carry food and clothing, but never before has it appropriated money for the purchase of suppl es.

Uncle Sam ia moie firmly fixed in power than President Sain, of Hayti, who was compelled to resign. + * * Well, if they keep on saying "peace at an early date," in South Africa, they are hound to hit it some time. # ? The May snow storm was not imaginary this yoar, but a very serious uffuir in u wide section of t Kii AAlliatetr IIIU WVUUVI J , * It requires an occasional St. Pierre horror to keep stiff-neakod humanity from forgetting tliut the whole world is kin. * * * Because other nations have waged wars of extermination against inferior races furnishes no good reason for us to do so. The senate wants to know nbout the sale of Ind'an lands in ICansus, and has adopted a resolution culling on the secretary of the Interior for information. In putting the price of beef n notch higher the trust indicates its belief that it might as t well hang for sheep killing as for lamb killing. * * * Those who control the leg islnture programme of congress will do well not to forget that there is a limit to the patience of the oeo pie upon such questions as the Isthmian canal. ? * ? Tho Omnibus Statehood bill drove through tho House with flying colors but it will bo lucky if it has a spoke left in either wheel when it gets over tho first lup in the Senate. ? Congressman Underwood, of Alu., refused to see brethren in the earthquake sufferers in the French West Indies, or even to admit that they might be stepbrothers. ? ? If Congressman Lacey, of Iowa, i really was ignorant of the meaning of "a good pnir to draw to" it speuks well for the mornls of his associates in Washsngton as well as his constituents. m m m Those Arkansas train robbers after blowing open the^ express safe and getting no money were in n position to realizo the feelings of some of tho nomination hunters in tho nolitical field. A I The Department of justice and flie beef trust have started their big wrestling match. The rules are in the Sherman antitrust law, and the referee is Judge Grosscup, of the United States circuit court. # ? We suppose there is now to bo high-juuiping, as well as rough, riding, as it is announced that the President has bought two hunting horses, either of which makes fivefoot jumps with ease. If he can make them go a little higher he can jump over the heads of most of the politicians. York's Dispensary to Open This Week. The Yeoman of Friday says that a special meeting of the board of county commissioners was held Monday to pnss upon the sufficiency of the bond of J. W. Snider as dispenser at Yorkville. All , members of the bonrd wore present and the bond was approved. Two or threo members of the board of control went to Columbia Monday night to consult with the attornoy general, the secretary State, the State liquor commissioner, and the State board of control, relative j j to the Yorkville dispensary and to ' | look into the practionl workings of ' the business. The stock will prob- : ably arrive tomorrow or next day , and the dispensary be opened for 1 business Monday or Tuesday. | Old papers for sale at The Times office.

Mrs. Elizabeth Sturgis, perhaps the oldest person in the county, died at the houie of her grandson1 14- TT I1T Til 1 1 J in-iuw, xur. n. >v. DiacKWfiu^r, neur Catawba river bridge, Wednesday uiorning, after an illnes extending over three months. Thursday her remains were interred in the Ebanezer cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. W. E. 'Thayer, of the Baptist church, of which she has l)een a member for more than three-quarters of a century. The deceased was a daughter of Dr. Hemphill, of this county. She was born in Ebenezer either in the year 1800 or J801, and lived in that township all the years of her long life. She was twice married. Her first husband wus Dempsey Gauldin, and after his death she married George Sturgis. She had several children, and her descendants have multiplied so that at the time of her death she had numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a woman of intelligence, with a remarkable memory of people that lived and incidents that occurred in the long ago She possessed a rich store of i local history, but unfortunately it has gone down into the grave with her. Her death removes the oldest landmark in all this section. ?Rock Hill Herald. Want a New County. Some of the citizens of linrnwell and Hampton counties desire to establish a new county to be known as Allendale, with the county seat at the town of Allendale. The petition was filed with the governor a few days ngo and as soon as he looks over it. an election will be ordered, provided the petition is presented under the constitutional requirements. Allendale is on the Port Royal and Southern rond and is a thriving little town of 1,500 inhabitants. In order for a new county to bo established it is necessary that the area should he not less than 400 square miles and that in that orea there shall be 124th part of the t>omi lotion of the State and that the taxable property shall be as much as $1,500,000. The boundary line shall not run within eighO miles of any other court house. The petition is presented by the qualified electors of the district and is said to be quite numerously signed. Cost of Rearing Boys. Someone has figured that the average boy who is dependent upon his parents for a livelihood until he reaches the age of 21, costs $4,000. The question naturally arises, does it pay to raise boys; are there not other crops that would prove more profitable? If a boy turns out to be a cigarette fiend, it is safe to say that tho parent might have iuvested his money to a much better advuntage. But if the boy grows to manhood with the lesson well lenrned that wealth and success grow on bushes that are watered with the sweat of one's brow, the parents need not begrudge whatever they have spent upon him, for he will be a source of increasing joy and tin' pride of their henrts, and when they grow old and their hands tremble and ( their steps are faltering, they will ! have strong arms to lean upon and help them over all rough places that lie in that twilight path of theirs. Columbia to Have a Boat Line. The establishment of a line of steamers on the Conga ree river to ply between the cities of Columbia and Georgetown is assured beyond peradventure and those at the head of the enterprise expect to have the line in full operation within thirty or sixty days. The steam era that are to make twice a week trips from Columbia to Georgetown connecting with the Clyde line ocean going steamers for New York are already at Georgetown waiting orders to begin their trips, j They will have a tonnage of from ICO to 123 tons. THROUGHOUT SOUTH CAROLINA. Short Items of State News Conveniently Grouped for Times Readers. The city of Greenville is making preparations for the State'Confederate reunion in July, which will bo held in that city. Already nlxiut a thousand dollars has been raised ( for entertainment purposes. The Biiperintendnnt of Pncolet Mills, in Spartanburg county, has been charged by one of the employees with running the mills longer than the legal hours. The case will be investigated. Application was made Monday to the secretary of the State for a charter for the Sumter planing mills. The company proposes to do a general planing business and has a capital stock of $5,000. Representative Lever has received assurance that his bill appropriating $'25,000 for the erection of a monument to (Jen. Thomas Sumter, the Revolutionary hero, would be favorably reportod this session. The bill provides that the monument shall bo erected in the town of Sumter, upon a suitable location. A well known insurance company has hit upon a new scheme to solicit business in Columbia. A versatile young woman has been employed to do the work that is usually done by a male agent. The idea is somewhat a novel one, at least in a southern city, and the experiment will be watched with interest in insurance circles. There seems to be unusual activity just at this time all over the State in building cotton mills.' Every week there is an announce* meiit of a new cotton mill or the enlargement of olio of the present plants. What Thin Folks Need. Is a greater power of digesting! and assimilating food.

Holds Up A Congressman"At the end of the campaign," writes Champ Clark, Missouri's brilliant congressman, "from overwork, nervous tension, loss of sleep and constnnt speaking 1 had about utterly collapsed. It seemed that all the organs in my body were out of order, but three, bottles of Electric Bitters made me all right. It's the best all-around medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter."
