Latest Literary News. ?5c*r The sale of thousands of copies of a tencent magazine at one dollar a piece was a very curious happening at the time of the Chicago World's Fair. The Cosmopolitan prepared a World's Fair number, contributed to by many famous writers, and so thoroughly illustrated that it surpassed even the most expensive l>ook which had up to that time been issued. In those days the magazines was printed from two sets of plates only, and when these were worn out it was impossible, without a great loss of time, to put further editions on the press. The newsdealers, taking advantage of this condition, raised the price of the Cosmopolitan's World's Fair number to one dollar a copy. A few sales were j even made toward the close at the phenomenal figure of five dollars. Undoubtedly this happening is unique in the history of magazine literature. The Cosmopoh- < ^ % tan will endeavor to repeat its past success, with a Pan-American Exposition Number, which will be even more attract ive, if possible than its World's Fair predecessor. The most famous writers of the country J have been invited to take part in the preparation of this issue. After many /lave' rarpfnl st.nHv r>f all flip wnndprfnl glass ana iurnuure.

Neal, made an appointment with the governor for this morning for the purpose of presenting to the chief executive the petitions in behalf of Col. Neal. These petitions have been gotten up in various portions of the Stafe and are said to be numerously signed. Yesterday the governor received additional letters asking for the pardon of Col. Neal. Many of these come from men of prominence in different parts of South Carolina. It is Col. Nelson's purpose to file the petitions and present to the governor reasons why Col. Neal should be pardoned. The general public is watching the outcome of the matter with much interest ? The State, Tuesday, August 20th. O. O. Buck, Beirne, Ark., says: I was troubled with constipation until I bought DeWitt's Little Early Risers. Since then have been entirety cured of my old comt j .1 r? i - scenes of the Exposition, more than a hundred photographs have been prepared, , which, taken as a whole, give a thorough |jr?s. .conception of the marvels of this Exposition. It is doubtful if any book, selling at } forty times the price of the magazine, will give any description of the Fair which will approach in interest and artistic value the September Cosmopolitan. Those who visit the Fair will preserve this number as a delightful reference-book in the years to come, and those who are unable to go there will secure such a comprehensive view of its main attractions as will be well worthy of preservation.

Editor Herald :?Up here in this part of Edgefield?twenty miles from the court house and same distance from Augusta, in a sparsely settled community?the negro have an annual meeting at a church near where we pitched our tent and they designate it as "the protract." This momentous convention embraces a whole week, services beginning at sunrise and ending in the "wee snia' hours," giving only a short interval for rest and food. I am told a relay of ministers are on hand, as well as relief congregations, so that when a new preacher gets up in the pulpit it is a signal for a new congregation, one going out another coming in. They term conversion as "coming ? through," and this coming through process is as ludicous as some of the heathen customs. One man remained at the plow ?being a wages hand?and in the middle ofther >w he "came through," took to * ~ his heels, leaving mule and plow, yelling at every step. Others heard him and took after him joining in the war whoop. When several dozen men, women and children with barking dogs had stirred up the people for quite a distance, the man fell in a dead faint. Another "coming through" case was Haley?a big black l\o<l pli 11? )\n^A??o An VIuiuaii wuv uau ^uuiuj uvivuc luvuncu the displeasure of one named Hannah, by charming her (Hannah's) husband away. In the meeting Haley "came through" and fell in the usual dead faint when some one yelled "Haley's dead." : Hannah hearing it rushed up on the scene | saying, "wliar is she ? let me git dar." , Haley was gone through when Hannah E??; dar!" ' The following prayer has been report- ; ed to me by some one who heard it in pass- < ing the church: "Oh Lord hab muscy on Bill; you knows him Lord; big black ' nigger with red eyes, bin wucking on rail- ] road, but done.come back now.

I have the highest reverence ( for every body of people that is formed , into a christian sect. Though their views may seem wrong to me, I have at least respect for their right to an opinion. And apropos of this, let me say, that I cannot understand why people, professing^ to be , followers of the meek and lowly Christ, can become haters of each other.

"No, I never intend to sot foot in Tombstone, Arizona, again," remarked James Bosco, at the Albany last night; "that is provided, of course, that God let> me live and gives me strength and knowledge to guide my steps. You want to know why? It was like this: Twelveyears ago f graduated from Princeton University, in both the law and literary departments. I immediately came West, for it was my ambition to hang out my shingle in a place that afforded" plenty of criminal law. I was in El Paso. Texas, when I was told that there was a small town in Arizona called Tombstone, and that there ought to be plenty of criminal practice there, as murders and such things were common. While 011 my journey i fell in with a 'greaser.' who had a limited English vocabulary, but who succeeded in making my hair stand on end by informing me that one young lawyer who had, in past years, attempted to prosecute a man for killing another in Tombstone, was himself shot by the sheriff, who happened to be a friend of the murderer. I noticed a crowd of cowboys and gamblers, who eyed me closely, ami a few low remarks were dropped. 1 took 110 notice of this, however, but stabled my horse and put up for the night at the only lodging house I could tind. Having nothing better to do, I retired to sleep about S o'clock, and, being tired, soon fell asleep. "I don't know at what tune I was awakened, but it was probably about midnight that I heard a great knocking at my door. I jumped out of bed and opened it. Then I went to bed again, and on looking up a sight met my eyes which would have frightened braver men than I; but I had always heard that the best plan in emergencies was to keep a cool head, and so I tried to appear cool. "At least twenty half-drunken cattle rustlers and rowdies stalked into my room, with drawn guns and serious; faces. Then I remembered telling the landlord I was a lawyer, and my heart failed me. "See here, ye tenderfoot," said the leader to me, 'ef ye ve got the nerve ye'11 not git hurt, but if ye show the white feather ye'll git a streak o' moonlight through ye.' I made no reply. "Then, before I realized it, a pistol shot rang out, and the ball shattered the window pane. This was only a signal, and I was greeted with a fusilade. Bullets pattered against the walls, broke the furniture and some actually ploughed through the mattress on which I lay. Their marksmanship was wonderful, for with what seemed a great deal of. reckless shooting I was touched but once, and then the ball only took the skin from the calf of my leg. I expected each instant to be killed, but I knew that if I kept still I had some chance, whereas if I had moved it would have beeu certain death. "Presently there was a pause, and with all the nerve I could muster I said, 'Gentlemen, if you're done shooting I'll go to sleep.' They were amazed at my coolness and to show their admiration for grit, they left me 'alone in my glory' and filed out of the room. "I never closed my eyes after that, but at the first sign of day I dressed and went down to saddle my horse. "The part of the whole affair that always struck me as being ludicrous was that when I went to pay the landlord for my night's lodging he had the brass to present me with a bill of $12 for broken Piaini. i recommenu mem. xxiuiueig liarmacy. A Candidate for Lynching. Florence, August 19.?Liney Cook, a young white man, assaulted and attempted an outrage on Miss.Bela Lynch, near Effingham, in this county, last night, and to-day Sheriff Buroh is after him with a warrant. Mr. A. J. Lynch, father of the young woman, came to the city to-day and issued a warrant for Cook, charging him as above. The facts are last night Cook, who is21 years old, called on Miss Lynch, who is just 16, to drive her to Bethany Baptist Church, a few miles distant. After service the young couple were returning home, when Cook made proposals, which the young lady refused. Cook then began to use force. Miss Lynch fought him and was badly used up. In this condition she jumped from the buggy and ran into the woods. The night being dark, and Cook being unable to leave his horse, she soon hid in the underbrush. Cook then drove off hurriedly. Shortly afterwards she beard other people coming from church, and she rode home with them and informed her father of the trouble. Search was instantly made by the father and neighbors for Cook, but he had left the neighborhood. Every effort will be made by the sheriff and his deputies to capture the assailant. Miss Lynch is of one of the best families of tiie county. Cook is of a good family, and his actions last night are unaccounted for.

NERVE OF ENGINEERS IT DOES NOT, AS A RULE, OESERT THEM AFTER AN ACCIDENT. Denperate Chsac.es the Man at the Throttle Will at Times Take Without Being Able to Give a Satisfactory Reason For His Action. "I have been often asked why railway engineers disregard their instructions and the warning signals along the line of their road," said the general superintendent of a railroad to a man, "and 1 have summed it up that it Is human nature for men to take chances in their business and that engineers are no exception to the general run. "Sometimes they cannot give a satisfactory reason why they do so. I will give you an authentic instance of this habit which made me live 10 years in 30 minutes. "On a road I was at the time connected with was a long trestle over a bay several miles in length, with a draw Drkige m the miter, xne ciraw naa been opened, and as a tugboat was passing through the bridge men heard the rumble bf a fast, heavily laden passenger train as It struck the bridge a mile away. Knowing that the red danger signals were set with the opening of the draw, they supposed that the engineer would slow up or stop, as might bo necessary. Instead, to their consternation, the train came along at regular speed, and a frightful accident appeared Inevitable. They yelled to the captain of the tugboat to go at full speed, and as the boat gilded through the draw In the darkness they exerted themselves to swing the draw Into the locking bolts before the train could get to the point where the rails separated. "The engineer, however, disregarded the last danger signal, a few hundred yards from the draw, and came on. By a remarkable coincidence of time and position the draw, which was of course In motion, swung so that the rails of the east bound track were in juxtaposition with the west bound track, upon which the train was running, and the heavy engine and one of the passenger coaches, striking the east bound rails. gilded upon the draw and stuck there, the remaining portion of the train being on the west bound track, making almost a figure S of the coachea "If the draw had moved the thirtieth part of a second faster or slower, the east bound rails would not have been opposite the west bound rails at the very instant that the great engine struck them, and a frightful disaster would have resulted. When I got out on the bridge a few minutes later, I fully expected to find the train In the bottom of the bay and the draw smashed into spllntera I discharged the engineer on the spot and asked him why he bad not observed the signals. He admitted that he saw them, but could not give a satisfactory reason for falling to observe them. He evidently took his chances of finding the draw dosed when he reached It "The engineer of today Is a sober, steady, nervy man, especially on the fast express trains on the big roads. It Is nerve that makes one man carry a limited express train through the darkness of the night, fog, sleet and blinding snow at GO miles on hour. The stories wo read about of an engineer losing his nerve after an accident are largely fiction. In 27 years of active railroad life I have had but one or two men appiy u> me lot a, irauam upuu the ground thnt their nerves had gone back on them for running the fast trains. "I have had men who have been flung 60 feet over their tenders in a head on collision and had a dozen bones broken come to me after they had been discharged from the hospital and ask to be put back on their old run. You see, they begin firing when they are about 18 or 20, and the cab of an engine Is their home. If they run into a person or a wagon load of people on the track. If It Is not their fault they take a practical view of it; they have to. If it Is their fault we discharge them, and they can take any view of It they please then, for we do not wish in onr employ careless men. This Is true with all of the big roads, and as a result American engineers of today are about as model a 6et of men in their employment as can be found."?Washington Star. Thing* Not Wanted.

Thin Illtch la the Working of the Brnla In Called Aphakia In the Medical Profeanlon ? A Trick the ! Chinaman U*e* For the Emcrpcncx. Everybody knows what it Is to have a word on the tip of the tongue and yet not be able to speak it The word is known perfectly well, and yet we cannot for the life of us give it utterance. More often than not it is a common word in everyday use. Iiut it will not be spoken when wanted. What is the . e. .li. II...,,..,* 1.,,.00 <)?? B CrCl Ol hum vvwm iiu^v uuuko.-<i Doctors call it aphasia. They cannot explain it, but say it is a little hitch in the working of the brain or intellect. The Chinese, who have done so many quaint and clever things, recognized the difficulty thousands of years ago and Invented a verv ingenious way of making the best of things. They manufactured a number of words and sentences that meant absolutely nothing, mere sound without sense. When a Chinaman in the course of conversation comes to a word that he has on the tip of his tongue, but cannot speak, he Just makes use of the meaningless phrases Invented for that purpose until he recalls the word he wants and goes on with the conversation. The trick, for trick it is, is much in nse in public speaking and certainly is on improvement on the "er?or?ers/' coughInga and throat clearings that so plentifully besprinkle our own after dinner orations. The speaker preserve#, his dignity and gives himself time for thought Very often the greater the desire to speak the missing word the greater the difficulty or sheer impossibility. The man in the Arabian story could not re* member the words "Open sesame," although he was in danger of his life. There are many cases on record of soldiers, even officers, forgetting the password and being shot down by their own sentries. At the critical moment the all important word that they thought they knew as well as their own names escapes them. They struggle to recall it, but the very effort makes it more difficult, and they pay with their j lives. A man may sometimes be tortured and yet be unable to speak the word he most desires to utter. Spies have been j captured and have gone to their death In Rilence not because they have not j been eager to betray their comrades, but because under the stress and ex* | citement of the situation they have totally forgotten the information they would convey. A celebrated case of this kind was made the subject of a play j produced in London some years ago, called "A Question of Memory." No doubt every reader will be able to recall instances In which he has suffered from this "word forgetfulness." One can often remember the initial letter of the word, but not the word Itself. It is still on the tip of the tongue, even after one has given up the struggle to recollect it Actors sometimes forget a word or two In their parts that no effort of their own can give back to them at the moment. But the wings reached and the strain removed they are again immediately word perfect and at a loes to explain their forgetfulness. A whole part is sometimes forgotten. This usually happens after a very long run. Daring the run of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueroy" Mrs. ratrlck Campbell one night found herself on the stage as Innocent of any knowledge of her part as any member of the audience. She made desperate efforts to "find herself," but It was no good. That performance she had to read the part through from beginning to end. Names of people are the words that slip our memories most frequently. We see a face we know, and yet we cannot fit a name to It We are shaken by the hand or slapped on the back, and ail the while we are hard at work trying to think of the name of the person who Is doing It Kings are credited with royal memories, and It Is rare to find a sovereign who has not a wonderful memory for faces. But he usually has some one at his elbow who can Jog his memory for names. It Is not always safe to fish for a name wanted. When Ellen Terry and Henry Irving were In America one year, they met a gentleman who, they knew, had reason to expect that they could remember his name. But this they failed to do. So Miss Terry approached him and said: "Sir Henry and I cannot agree as to the exact spelling of your name. Will you please put us right?" "Certainly," was the reply. "It Is J-o-n-e-sI" Aphasia Is divided by those who have studied the subject Into "word blindness" and "word deafness." A man who la "word biind" may be able to pronounce the name of letters, but cannot understand the meanings of the words they form. A man who Is "word deaf' can understand ordinary sounds and music, but cannot understand spo teen words. His speech is often mere senseless jargon. Bot the passing forgetfulness of a word has little to do with these more serious forms of the complaint. We 8wallow weirds under the influence of excitement or more often of fatigue. People getting better from a serious illness are torraented by the loss of common words. This Is particularly the case after Influenza. One of our leading statesmen after an attack of this malady suddenly lost the thread of his speech In the midst of a public discourse. "Word forgetfulness" is, however, mainly the result of careless observation or of want of training. What we never knew well we very easily forget. An experienced police detective never forgets a face or name.?Pearson's. Astonnded The Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C\, was once immensely surprised. 'Through long suffering from dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great distress from her stomach, hut | she tried Electric Bitters which helped lier at once, and, after using ioiu uihiics, she is entirely well, can cat anything. It's |a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver" For indigest ion, loss of appelitc, stomach and liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed cure.
