Cotton Factory Men Want Duty. <
Washington, May 3.?A delegation
prominent cotton manufacturers
om the South, mainly from North
trolina, was at the capitol to-day,
id talked with all the senators from
ie cotton growing States of the
>uth about the cotton goods schedes
in the tariff bill, which are the ;
ibject of attack on the part of seval
Western senators. The cotton '
>ods manufacturers enjoy protective
ities of about 45 per cent. They 1
e satisfied with the rates fixed in ;
ie senate bill, and prefer them to the
ites in the Payne bill. The differlce
is that the Payne rates are ad
ilorem, while the Aldrich rates are
>ecific. The cotton manufacturers
ssert that the latter rates are simer
and will lessen the friction that
tey have with the custom experts,
he textile manufacturers were well
eased with their interviews with
juthern senators, who, with two exsptions,
assured them that they were
sposed to stand by the existing
:hedules as to cotton goods in the
.riff bill submitted by the senate
aance committee. The only South
arolinians present were L. W. Park\
of Greenville, and J. C. Plunk, of

MULE WAS NOT TO BLAME.
\egro, Struck by Lightning, Thought
Animal Had Kicked Him.
Aiken, April 30.?The story of a
peculiar lightning adventure comes
to the city from the Edisto river section.
Several days ago, a negro was
ploughing in a field of Mr. B. F. Peoples,
when a thunder storm came up
suddenly. Before the ploughman
realized it, the storm was upon him.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck
the mule, and severely shocked the
negro. The bolt, after passing
through the mule, followed the
ploughstock, and then into the body
of the negro, rendering him unconscious
for more than three hours.
When he was found, he was in a
comatose condition, and all hope for
his , recovery had been given up,
when he began to show signs that he
was still in the land of the living.
He initiated his recovery by pouring
forth a lurid stream of epithets at
his mule, who, he said, had kicked
him, without even "backing his
ears" by way of warning. The bolt
had struck him on the head, crossed
around his body, traveled -down his
right leg, coming out of the big toe
of the right foot. The negro has
about recovered from bis injuries.
Varn's Rheumatic Remedy.
This is the only remedy ever
known to cure rheumatism, backache,
kidney and bladder trouble.
Sold by all druggists and G. A.
Ducker, Bamberg, S. C., price $1.00
a bottle. Read the following testimonial
:
Branchville, S. C., Jan. 12, 1908.
Mr. A. G. Varn, St. George, S. C.
Dear Sir: I have suffered with
articular /rheumatism for the past
ten years and have tried every spring
in the whole country for it and got
no relief. I have tried nearly every
drug the medical profession has gotten
out for the treatment of rheumatism
with the same result. I was induced
to take a bottle of your remedy,
and one bottle cured me entirely
and I am too glad to be able to
heartily recommend it to any one
suffering with any form of the disease.
Very respectfully yours,
L. J. MANN,
Physician and Surgeon.
Winthrop Gets Gift.
Rock Hill, May 2.?Fr. Johnson, of
Winthrop. received a le^er yesterday
morning from Andrew Carnegie's
secretary stating that Mr. Carnegie
would donate $15,000 to the building
of Winthrop's model school.
It will be remembered that this
State appropriated $20,000 for this
purpose with the understanding that
President Johnson should raise $25,000
more. Mr. Johnson has raised
$65,000 more instead. It is his intention
to get $100,000 for this
school, which he proposes to make a
model school, second to none anywhere.
It will be remembered that
Mr. Carnegie gave $30,000 for the library
several years ago and this last
gift brings his donation to Winthrop
to the generous sum of $45,000.
