A Forecast of the Next State Cam

Warm.
The “campaign next summer” is
the roseate future to which nearly
every legislator l>oii;. Some have
become disgustjJ with public life and
swear that they will not again enter
the lists. Others will “go back" If
their friends '.'urge them” to do so..
Hut others think that this world has
totter things in store for them. Some
capitol, Lieut. Goy. J. H. Tillman and
the winner will have to defeat about
half a dozen other candidates, among
them Gov. McSweeney, Col. W. Jas
per Talbert, Capt. D. C. Heyward of
Colleton and Mr. M. F. Ansel of Green
ville. i
The leading candidates for lieuten
ant governor are Hon. Frank B. Gary
of Abbeville, whose ability and fair
ness as a presiding oftlcer are axiom
atic; Senator S. G. Mayfield, who has
been for eight years chairman of the
senate’s most important committee;
Senator J. Lyles Glenn of Chester, and
Mr. Cole L. Blease.
Since the redistricting of the State,
there have been a number of buds oh
the flower of congressional aspirations.
In the first district it is thm/ght that
Mr. Geo. Lcgare of Charleston will be
'elected. In the si/ond district the
following names have been mentioned,
and all will pndmbly run —William
Elliott of Beaufort; G. Duncan Bellin
ger and J. O. Patterson of l.arnwell;
! J. W. Croft of Aiken, and J. William
Thurmond of Edgefield. Mr. Bellin-

of the State. Col. Croft agrees with

■ The town of St. Matthews was visit
ed by a gang of robbers or burglars on
Tuesday night of^ last week. They
first entered the hardware store of Mr.
Geo. W. Arthur and proanedafew
chisels and other implements which
they thought they might need and pro
ceeded to the St. Matthews bank
and blew open the outer doors of the
huge safe of that institution. This
was an easy enough Job, and no doubt
the robbers thought they had met
with a soft snap, but they were mis
taken. After they got thfe outer doors
open they attempted to blow open the
inner vault in which the money is
kept, but did not succeed. They
succeeded, however in damaging it to
such an extent that the hank officials
could not open it themselves Wed
nesday morning. The robbers also
visited the general store of Messrs.
Bates A Smistk, from which a few
suits of clothes was taken. The dis
pensary was visited by them and a

Hicks on Storms.
Hicks, the St. Louis editor of Word

right for the last week of February.
He warned his readers against electric
storms and the storm period that
would go out with February into
March. The reports from Maine to
Mexico and from Wisconsin to Key
West show that violent an destruct
ive fioods with high winds prevailed.
In his almanac he says that there will

Aeother Theory Attacked.
Many people wha realize tbe danger
of using impure city water boil It and
feel happy. Whether they succeed by
this method In remedying the evil is a
question which. many medical men
will answer in the negative. All
chemists agree that the boiling of
impure water, aside from the destruc
tion of the life of some of the disease
germs, the elimination of some of the
gases and the deposit of a portion of
the carbonate of lime, always makes
it more impure. Boil a gallon of
water untTTthefe Is but a quart left,
and the quart will contain all the im
purities of the gallon and will be near
ly four times as impure as before. By
continuing the boiling all the impuri
ties, animal, vegetable and mineral,
except the gases thrown off, will be
reduced to one solid mass. The water
which is evaporated and passes off as
steam is very nearly pure. In the
boiling process the dangerous germs
may have been killed, but their re
mains furnish exce 1 lent material for
bacterial life to feed upon.

Tillman Had to Talk.
When Senator Tillman made his
first speech in the Senate after his al
tercation with McLaurln he discussed
the Irrigation bill. He simply want
ed an excuse to say something. • "I
don't know anything about this sub
ject at all,” he explained. “I just
happened in here while the matter
was being discussed, and as 1 bad
been rather—well—"Mr. Tillman
paused. He did not know exactly
how to describe his position. He
looked around the Senate as if wait
ing for a suggestion. “Closed up,”
remarked Senator Berry. “Well,
closed up,” said Mr. Tillman, .laugh
ing “I had been in a. condlton of in
nocuous desuetude for a few days and
1 thought the Senate might like to
hear from me again.” As the speech
was in favor of the irrigation bill, the
friends of the measure listened in
tently to all that Mr. Tillman had to
say.
The Price of a Foot.
Mr. James C. Sebum pert, of New
berry, lost a foot by an accident on
the southern Railway at Belton on
the 19th of February, 1901, while he
was an engineer on that system. He
brought suit for 150,000. The trial
came off recently in Newberry, and

$12,500. A motion for a new trial
was refused with the understanding
that the verdict be reduced to $10,000.

This message was sent to tto sheriff:

Mr. Thomas S. Burch, Sheriff, Flor
ence, 8. C.:
Under tto act of 1900 providing for
special term of court such application
must come through solicitor, and can
only come through him under the stat
ute. If the matter is presented to the
solicitor by your people I have no
doubt that he will ask for the special
term of court you indicate. This is a
requirement of law. Personally I
favor a prompt trial, but under the
statute can only call the extra term
upon the written request of solicitor.
Have the petition sent to me and I
will have the extra term of court or
dered with pleasure.. Have wired
Solicitor Wilson fully. - _ *

From an old journal that was kept
in 1815 by a merchant of Oswego N.

citizens something to live in those
days. Anthracite coal was unknown,
and for illuminating purposes candles
and whale oil. were used. Salt In those
days was as much a necessity as now,
but it cost $1.25 per bushel or $5.38
