Now that the primaries are over, let us
take up the matter of erecting a cotton
? warehouse. The enterprise is badly
needed here now, and would pay well.
Our business men are standing in their
own light, for cotton should not be forced
} on the market at present prices. Let's get
to work at once on the project.
In the State Senate the candidates for
clerk are Gen. R. R. Hemphill, of Abbeville,
and Ed. H DeCamp, of Gaffney,
both newspaper men. We like the General
fine, but he ought to pass the thing
around among the newspaper boys. Rotation
in office was one of the foundations
of the "reform" movement and the Gener- i
Rj?, al is a true blue "reformer."
Candidates for positions in the legisla- .
ture are coming out. Those announced
for speaker so far are: J. G. Richards, of .
' Kershaw; F. B. Gary, of Abbeville; D. D. j
McColl, Jr., of Marlboro; R. S. Whaley,

J. W. Mitchell, of Leesville, the young 1
white man who shot and killed his !
friend, James Trotter, at the union depot
in Columbia during fair week of last ^
year, was tried for the crime in Columbia ^
last week and acquitted. He was found 1
; * guilty of carrying an unlawful pistol and
uh ' fined $100, which was paid. So it is a
greater crime in South Carolina to carry (
r- ? a pistol than it is to kill a man.
y. Immigration Commissioner E. J. Wat /.
son has succeeded in getting a steamship <
* put on direct from Bremen, Germany, to <
Charleston, which will bring in a good :
|> * class of emigrants. Arrangements are <
now being pushed to provide a return ]
cargo for the vessel, and if the venture is <
a paying one, the line will be continued, i
The starting of this steamship line seems <
to mean the developing of Charleston as :
a great port. We hope so. i
Teaching a Girl to Ran an Anto.
jp*1- * Secure a good, easy-going machine
with an active and up-to-date sparker, J
tV > and having placed the girl firmly by your i
side, where you can secure a strong hold
in cases of emergency, proceed to a lonet
i ly, unfrequented road where you will be
Eafc* uninterrupted.
If the girl display any signs of nervousness,
do your best to soothe her.
There are a number of ways to do this.
Take her hand in yours and pat it gently.
Speak to her in a low, soft tone. If absolutely
necessary place her head upon
|c your shoulder and count one hundred.
If not effective, repeat in one minute.
If Now she may take the wheel, advance
jrh.' the sparker and throw in the clutch. It
A will then be your turn to grow nervous.
"While the girl is clutching the machine
you clutch the girl. It will then be time
to rest. This should not take any longer
than the rest of the afternoon.
By the time you have got so you can
kiss the girl without getting nervous, she
ought to be able to run the machine.?
Tom Masson in the October Delineator.
As to Ladies and Gentlemen.
"It's a fine thing to be a lady, or a gentleman,"
said the bookkeeper.
"What's your idea of a gentleman?" inquired
the stenographer.
"A man that's clean inside and out;
who neither looks up to. the rich nor
down on the poor; who can lose without
squealing and who can win without bragging;
who is considerate of women,
5 children and old people; who is too brave
to lie, to generous to cheat, and who takes
his share of the world and lets other people
have theirs."
"And what does it take to make a lady?"
asked the stenographer.
"A perfect lady is a woman who can ,
hear a choice piece of scandal about her (
i * dearest enemy and then forget it," ans- .
wered the bookkeeper.
"Huh!" cried the stenographer. ."That
kind of a woman wouldn't be a lady, she'd
be in an asylum for the dumb."

Young Man Drowned.
Uxion, Sept. 12.?A special from Lockhart
says that about 3 o'clock this afternoon,
S. C. McMillan, employed by the
General Fire Extinguisher company,
v ' headquarters at Charlotte, was drowned
in Broad river while bathing with some ,
companions. It appears he was seized
with cramp and before any one i%alized
? his condition he sank and when the body
was recovered it was too late for him to be
revived. He had been working there ,
two weeks in the new mill. Little is i
known of him except that he was a member
of the Red Men, Tribe No. 42, at Spar- (
tanburg, and Odd Fellows lodge at Gas- ,
Xonia. All efforts to find his family or i
relatives have up to a late hour proved
unsuccessful and he will be buried at (
Lockhart if they cannot be located soon. 1

BRIDE'S FEET TOO BIG.
Wedding Must Wait While Number Eleven
Shoes are Made,
Miller, S. D., September 12.?Gardner
Brothers, merchants of Ree Heights,
may delay a 'wedding because they are
unable to supply the prospective bride
with shoes large enough to fit her feet.
The size required is No. 11, double E, and
there is none in the town. They sent in
a rush order to a shoe manufacturer of
St. Paul and he could not fill it, but he
wrote the Ree Heights firm this letter:
"Yours of the 30th. ordering one pair
of lady's shoes, stock S,549, size 11, double
E, at hand. We are not positive whether
the size given was correct or not, as the
same is very unusual. If this size is cor

a man's last. It will take at least thirty
days to make them, as we shall be obliged
to cut new patterns."
Ree Heights is a small town, but it now
claims the record of having the biggest
order for wedding shoes unfilled of any
town in South Dakota.

Tillman on the Election.
Columbia, Sept, 12.?Senator Tillman,
who is here today on his way to Charlotte
to deliver a lecture, says the election
of Ansel and Lyon by heavy majorities
means nothing significant against the
State dispensary, that the dispensary peoV*o?TA
eofn in KaIIi Vivon/-?V?AC
['lo 4UITV >3?iV UiajV&XOXbO 1U WKU UiOUVUW
of the legislature and that that body will
pass a purification bill. "They have
enough to clean out the dispensary,
fortify it against graft and put it on its
feet again" said the senator. "Governors
nor attorney generals don't make laws.
All the people spoke in the election for
the legislature and we've got the coon
and gone on. We will see what Ansel
cioes toward enforcing our new dispensary
law, and how many grafters Lyon
will put in the penitentiary." Tillman
bragged about the fact that four thousand
less scratched him this time than four
pears ago.
CRAZY NEGROES NEAR ANDERSON.
One Shot to Death and Three Arrested Near Pied*
mont?Crazed With Religious Frenzy.
Anderson, Sept. 14.?As a result of the
iisturbance near Piedmont last night,
caused by negroes who were crazed with
religion, one negro is dead and three others
were lodged in jail here this afternoon.
Two of them have been examined
for lunacy and will probably be sent
to the asylum. They are undoubtedly
crazy with religious frenzy, having been
in attendance at the meetings of their
3ect for several weeks. They talk irrationally
and imagine they are idol-breakers,
having destroyed much valuable
property in their houses, such as pictures,
? -t - -i j ??: l : ......
mirrors, mucus auu musical luauuuicuts.
One of those in jail is quite seriously
bounded and has three bullets in his
body. The dead negro is said to have
been a negro of prominence and worth
several thousand dollars.
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Long, who were attacked
by the negroes, are both quite badly
hurt, having been assailed with rocks.
Dr. Tripp, who was shot in the capture of
the negroes, is seriously wounded but
will recover. It is said that he was shot
by one of his own party by mistake. He
was wounded in the breast.
The negroes, it seems, started out on a
regular rampage and first attacked a house
xfcupied by their own race. They struck
;error to the hearts of the inmates and
;hey fled. Then they proceeded to the
louse of Mr. Long, who is a prominent
ntizen of that section. They assailed Mr. !
md Mrs. Long with rocks and wounded
hem badly.
As soon as the report of the outrage
vent out a crowd gathered to begin a
lunt for the negroes. They were surround
;d in-a house, and after several shots were
ired by both sides, they were captured. It
vas in this skirmish with the negroes that
Dr. Tripp and the negroes were wounded.
The one who died was named Reed and
le was very badly shot up. The two who
lave been examined for lunacy are Wil
iam and Elzy Anderson, uncle and
jephew.
Deputy Sheriff Scott, who made the
irrests of the negroes, reports that the
louse in which the men were captured
rcas a comp.ete wreck, as far as the furnishings
were concerned. Nearly every
irticle of household adornment was broken
into pieces, the negroes claiming^hat
such things were idols and should be destroyed.
They claim that there must be a
revolution among the people and that they
must change their manners.
It is plainly a case of religious fanaticism
carried to an alarming extent, and it
is something out of the ordinary in this
State. It is to oe regretted tnat me occurrence
was of such a serious nature before
the negroes were apprehended.

MULES PULL AN
ELEPHANT'S TOOTH
Extraordinary Dental Operation Relieves
Suffering of Circus* Monumental
Pet
Two mule3 did some effective dentistry
in the mouth of Brazil, an elephant,
on the railroad line to Columbus,
near Lexington, Ky. The mules were
called in after a regular dentist, assisted
by a veterinarian and two circus
hands, had signally failed to relieve the
elephant of a severe attack of toothache.
Brazil stands twelve feet high and is
the prize pachyderm of a circus which
was on the way from Lexington to Columbus
when Brazil began to thrash
around the car. One side of the carj
was shattered before the fury of the
elephant was discovered and the train
brought to a standstill.
A diagnosis was quickly and easily
made. When the keeper approached,

Brazil threw up her trunk and opened
her month, and the man. slipping his
bead into the opening, saw a big cavity
In a tooth. Brazil was roped and
thrown on her side. A dentist from a
nearby town volunteered to pull the
tooth, and the circus folk went into
Mnks while be tried his hand with bis
Dwn little instruments. The circus
veterinarian then brought forth a huge
pair of forceps, and two men laid hold
3f each handle. The tooth stuck fast,
and the men were in despair when an
Dnlooking farmer remarked he had a
pair of "hefty mules."
"Where are they?" asked the veterinarian,
and the farmer pointed to a
team of promising looking long eared
bays in the road. Forthwith work began
for the great operation. Stakes
were driven into the ground to brace
the elephant's head. A block and
tackle were attached to the giant forceps,
and when the veterinarian shouted
"AH ready!" the farmer said "Git
ip!" There was a terrific straining
for a few minutes; then the mules
stumbled forward as the tooth suddenly
came forth. Brazil wore a sub- =
iued but contented look after the operation
and went quietly back to her
car.

While the telephone in the feil was
constantly ringing to know if any

officers placed the negro in a coffin
intended for a white prisoner who had
lied during the morning and hustled
ilm off to the depot and landed him
safely in the jail at Paducah.
