Indies recently took the scholar |
chip examination of Winthrop
College; Misses Corinne Furis,
Mary Crook, Mabel K-irkpatrick,
Cammie Crook.
Mr. J. B. Mills has withdrawn !
from the race for magistrate. Mr.
Mills stated at the time he announced
himself a candidate that
he did not want the office and that
he was in the field only because it
appeared that no one else intended
to run. i
On the plantation of Cnpt. T. B.
Spratt there are twenty-five acres
of cotton which is probably unex- 1
celled in this section of the State. 1
The average height of the cotton
is about 30 inches, and each stalk
appears to be well filled with
blooms and squares. In the field
there are no thin places, the land
having been uniformly fertilized.
The appearance of the cotton bespeaks
a yield of a bale to the acre.
Constable T. A. Mills met with
a painful accident while attempt- {
ing to cross the tracks of the
Southern Railway a few nights
ago. He bad been summon* d 1?
assist in arresting a negro man who
it was thought would arrive on
the southbound passenger train
with a supply of whiskey for a
blind tiger. As the train neared
the depot Mr. Mills undertook to
hurriedly cross the track, and fell,
cutting a painful gash in his lower j
lip and dislocating a tooth.
The books of the Fort Mill Deni- j
ocratic Club are open and citizens
of this township who wish to vote
At the primary election to be held
on August 27th, to nominate Fed
eral, State and bounty officers,
should request the secretary, Mr.
W. Mc. Culp, to enroll their names.
The rules of the party require that
the club rolls tie closed ten days
prior to the primary, after which (
no name will be place thereon. (
There are between 500 and 000 1
Democrats in this township and it <
is hoped that uot one of them will
lose his vote by neglecting to have 1
bis name enrolled. ;
State Reuoion of the Ex-Confederates.
The time for the annual reunion
of the Condfederate veterans of the
South Carolina division is rapidly
approach in*;, and Gen. Thomas;
Oar wile, commanding the divison, j
is hastening the preparations for
the gathering of the old soldiers.
The annual orator has been select .
p(l and Miss Elizabeth Lumpkin,
the charming young woman who ,
won the hearts of the veterans at
the reunion in Columbia and made
herself famous as an orator, who
lias just been elected teacher of
elocution at Winthrop college, has
been selected to welcome the old
soldiers on the part of the Daughters
of the Confederacy. Here is
Hen. Carwile's general reunion
order which has jnst been issued
from his headcpiai ters in Kdgefield:
J. Having been appointed major
general to succeed Gen. C. I.

VII. All railroads have given

Oil in Oconee County.
The people of Oconee are great- !
ly excited over the discovery of j
oil in the southwestern part of the i
county on the farm of Mr. .J. li. I
McJ utikin, says the Columbia Uec- j
ord. The discovery was made in a
rather peculiar manner. A tree
growing near the house was struck j
by lightning nearly every time a i
thunder storm visited the region.
Three weeks ago L)r. Bolatid, a
skilled mineralogist, representing
an extensive oil company in Philadelphia,
happened to stop at Mr. ;
McJunkin's home, and his atten
lion was ai once drawn 10 mis tree. i
After an inspection of tlie sur
mundings, the doctor told Mr. Me- !
Junkin that nppenranccs indicated
petroleum in abundance and insisted
upon immediate examination,
which was reluctantly granted.
The mineralogist bought tintree,
had it dug up and paid.for
its delivery at the railroad, consigning
it to his company in Phil
adelphia, and at once had n pit
eight feet deep dug in search of
what he termed the petroleum
blossom, which ho found corroborated
his first impressions. What
will be the outcome, or how it
may culminate, is left to conject
lire, hut Dr. Poland evidently is in
earnest and declares that appearances
indicate a uaiiy output of
more than three hundred barrels
of refined oil.
Thirty.two young men have join- j
ed n drum corjs recently organized
in Columbia, [
Senator Tillman in Charlotte,
Senator Tillman stopped over in
Charlotte a few nights ugo. The
next day The Observer spoke of
him as follows:
The senator appears to 1 )c in lip
top physical condition and is us,
jolly as a sun lb >y. As he stood in
the waiting room at the Southern
station he was approached by half
a dozen South Carolinians from
different parts of the State, and he j
greeted each one as "dim" or "Bill"
or "Tom'' and was ready with intimately
personal jests which provoked
good humor and loud laughter.
It' Senator Tillman covets notoriety
lie must have unlimited opportunity
for happiness. Five miii- j
utes after ho stepped to the
middle of the waiting room last
night In1 was the object of general
attention. A dozen curious per- I
sons came within a few feet of him '
and watched liim with unlowercd
eyes, while a large proportion of
the jostling crowd that waited outside
the depot came to the windows
and peered at the senator.
Senator Tillman minded not;
was easy and natural in his man
tier. Nine men out. of ten who
become surrounded by listening
strangers drop their voices to a
low key. Not so with Senator
Tillman. One imagines that he
n? ver whispered in his life. His
voice is strident and his frnpient
laugh has the strong challenge of
the hustings. Also he swears in a
careless, indifferent maimer as a
senator should swear. This art is
given to few ntoti. One knows i
somehow that Senator Tillman
would curse naturally iit his sleep.
Tigers Flourishing in Rock Hi!!.
The Herald.
The number of drunk men in
town Saturday night was uncommonly
large. The blind tigers are
tloursihing, debauching everybody
with whom they como in contact. '
f l' i i * <
i no contmio'j in such rh tlio poo- j
plo seom t?> like ami thus it will j
continue. No institution in town I
seems to bo bo popular n? tin* blind ;
t i^er, and at the samo time it is!
debauching more younn nion than
ever the barrooms did. There is
110 farce like unto that of our "pro- i
hibitioti'" law.
The
Irrepressible Cansler.
Says the IJ aufortcorrespondent
?<f the News and Courier: "'If Can- j
sler, of Tirzah [ candidate for rail
road coinmissioner ], could only
show that he had been crippled by I
a raiitimd accident and had taken
the same medicine ad nnuseuni
that some of the railroads had given
other people, he would deserve
and obtain a very Mattering and
sympathetie vole, hut ho far as lie
is concerned the audience, while
highly entertained hy his antics,
did not think lie could get around
fast enough to circumvent a railroad
or its directors."

Mother of Sixty-Two Children.
It has remained for the Italian
woman to break ail maternity rer- j
onls. Madeline Graiintta, in the j
course of nineteen yearsof wedlock I
became the in >ther of sixty-two
children. This extraordinary state- j
ineiit is vouched for hy two or
three thousand witnesses, who testify
to its truth in a petition now
before tho Italian government, i
Asking for the woman a yearly
pension of 1,800 lire ($8150.) <)!
Madeline's children fifty nine are j
hoys and three girls. Eleven times
in succession in nine years she
gave birth to triplets, three times
four boys arrived at one birth and
once five 1) >ys and a girl. The
other twelve were born singly,
but very close together. Tin woman
in u unlive of Nocera, a'little village
near Naples, ami at the ago of i
57 is incapable of gainiuL' l>or livelihood,
hence the petition.

What is a bachelor? asks the St.
Louis Globe-H.Mnoerat. He is a <
social misfit, a square poo for the

"And He Naver Took Eold Again."
Some ton or twelve years ago a luily |
in this State was suffering from severe
hemorrhage of the womb. For years
she had been subject to almost continuous
flow, and at last she got into so :
low a CVOllditinll thill vllie Wim Minflni./l
to the lied. All efforts <?f the doctors j
failed to check it, and finally two of 1
the leading physicians of the locality '
prononuccd the caso cancerous. Her |
prostration was great, and nothing
seemed to renelj her case. One of her |
neighbors insisted on her trying my j
Remedy and Wash. This she would
not do until she had consulted her doctor.
Ilis reply was, "When Mrs. Person
takes hold, wo turn loose; when she '
turns loose, wo take hold." However,
she concluded to try it. Without letting
anyone into the secret, she used
my Wash copiously. A great improvement
soon set in, and by its use she was
soon well. She has been cured all these
years, and says she can never say enough
for Mrs. Joe Person's Wash. The name
of the lady will be given, if d? sired, upon
application to inc. Respectfully, 1
MRS. JOK PKUh'ON.
