STORIES OF LONDON. How Capt. Wilson Filled that Breach ' and Won the Victoria Cross. The scene is the Soudan. At the village of El Teb, thousands of black, J yelling, fanatical followers of the * Mahdi have gathered to oppose the ( further progress of the British force t marching to the relief of two besieg- ? ed garrisons. ] In a large hollow square, one side of which is formed by the naval bri- t gade and two other regiments, the * Britishers press forward, Jack quickly silencing the enemy's guns, which ^ are mounted on earthworks thrown c up round the village. Suddenly, as t the square sweeps down on the Arabs, the latter cease their rifle j fire, leave their shelter, and pour e down upon the square. t Hundreds are slaughtered by the machine guns of the Britishers, but, c heedless of shot and shell, hundreds i more continue the reckless charge, * and with such impetuosity do they 1 hurl themselves on that part of the j square formed by the naval brigade ? that it is broken. Then occurs an in- I cident unparalleled in the history of ^ warfare. A number of Arabs rush- j ed through the gap. Many of the gunners were in extreme danger, and t Capt. Wilson, seing one of his men ? about to be speared, went to his as- t sistance and ran the black through t the body. J &ucn was ine luiut; ul IUC im uo*., ^ however, that blade of his sword j broke off near the hilt. Instantly the Arabs closed on the captain, and he seemed doomed. But with his | fists he bowled over the enemy like i 1 ninepins. The blacks were amazed ( at the nature of the attack. Try as J they would they could not break J through these powerful arms or ( avoid the flashing fists, and ere they t could recover from their suprise they they were cut down by soldiers who t rushed to the help of the gallant cap- \ tain. . ( His action undoubtedly saved many lives. He filled the breach at ^ a moment critical in the extreme, for < had the Arabs succeeded in enlarging s the gap there would have been a dif- v ferent tale to tell of the battle of El Teb, which ended in such a splendid ] British victory. Since those days 1 Capt. Wilson has won many honors ; and risen high in his profession, but j although he is now an admiral, entitled to place many letters after his 1 name, it is doubtful if he is so proud of any of them as the "V. C." won j with bare fists. It is a curious fact that the three senior officers in this battle, Sir. D. Graham, Sir. R. Buller and Sir. W. Hewitt, R. N., all won the Victoria cross.?Tit Bits. Arrested for Selling Whiskey. ] Orangeburg, Aug. 15.?Alec Jen- : ningSi who lives in the lower fork of ] this county, about ten miles from the . city, was arrested here late yesterday . afternoon, after a warrant had been sworn out against him by Magistrate Brunson, on the charge of selling 1 whiskey. ] A man named Ayers, it is alleged, , gave young Jennings $5 with which to buy him two half-pints of liquor 1 and the whiskey was obtained and de- < livered to Ayers. Jennings did not ; return any change to Ayers, hence . he reported the matter to the police department. A warrant was taken ' out and the arrest made. The whiskey was obtained, it is al leged, from the Edisto Social Club. ( The Edisto authorities alleged as their defense that Jennings had this whiskey in his private locker a,nd < that the club had done nothing unlawful. Jennings is now in jail and will probably have a hearing before the magistrate in the morning. The offense may prove beyond this jurisdic- . tion. The police are on the alert since ] the club raids on last Friday. There j was quite an amount of drinking and drunkenness here on Saturday and ' things looked suspicious. All efforts 1 are being made to locate the "tigers," 1 if any. J Destroy Distilling Plant. j Greenville, August 16.?One of , the finest distilling plants which the 1 revenue officers have run upon for a j long time was destroyed yesterday ] by Officers Merrick, Scruggs, Corn 1 and Campbell. The plant was on the < top of Panther mountain, about 35 < miles from Greenville and within a ^ half mile of the North Carolina line. The outfit was destroyed, about 220 ' gallons of beer and mash were poured out and a 50-gallon barrel of whiskey was brought back to Greenville. 1 The officers ran upon the outfit ( Sunday morning about 10 o'clock, 1 but signal shots had already been 1 fired, and the moonshiners escaped j before the officers arrived upon the 1 scene. The outfit was one of the * finest and best the officers have de- ' stroyed in a long time. The raiding party got back to Greenville about 12 o'clock Sunday night, bringing with ^ them the 50-gallon barrel of wkis- 1 key. ( ] Swallows His Teeth. J Few physicians ever operated up- ] on a man with the same object as i did the doctors at the Adrian hospital j at Punxsutawney, Pa., on Saturday, ] when an abdominal incision was made on Peter Jackson, a white man. ] . -1 ?J?'-i-i + 4 jacKSon, wnne urmaiiis a uuiuc ui i pop at his home, dislodged his false teeth and swallowed them. ] A physician, unable to recover the ] molars, forced them into the man's < stomach and then rushed him to the ? hospital, where the operation was ( performed. Jackson is in a critical I condition. ! -V:<i' d r 1-Vi./ ' >,,* ' NAMES CENSUS TAKERS. Taft Announces Appointment of Supervisors. Beverly, .Mass., August 15.?In a etter addressed to-day to Secretary s'agel, of the department of comnerce and labor, President Taft served notice that any man engaged in he taking of the census of.the United states who engaged in politics in any vay will be dismissed immediately :'rom the service. At the same time announcement vas made of the appointment of 134 idditional supervisors. Outside of casting their votes the resident believes that census supervisors and enumerators should keep dear of anything that savors of poliics, national, State or local. In his letter President Taft orders hat the secretary of commerce and abor and the director of the census :mbody in the regulations governing he taking of the census the rule so orcibly laid down in letter. Mr. Taft says that in appointing :ensus supervisors it has been found lecessary to select men recommended >y senators and congressmen in their listricts. He says he realizes that his method of selecting might easily >e perverted to political purposes md it is to take the census out of politics, so far as the actual work is :oncerned, that he has explicitly exjressed his desires as to the regulaions. The census supervisors announced o-day were as follows: Arkansas?First district, George rhomas Breckenridge; second dis;rict, Charles G. Henery; third dis 11<J I) DllSLia SZJ.

Vegro Boy Signs for White Man Who Couldn't Write. Gaffney, Aug. 14.?It is the custom of one of the Gaffney cotton mills to pay off their help twice a month, and the paymaster is accompanied on his rounds by a negro boy, who carries the box containing the pay envelopes. On the last pay day the paymaster came to a fine looking young fellow, and when ne was asked to sign the card acknowledging the receipt of the money, was informed that he could not write. One or two of the bands in the vicinity were asked to write his name for him, but for various reasons they did not do so, when the negro boy took the pen and signed the young fellow's name on the card. This illustration is a forcible argument for compulsory ortiipatirm anH ran hp need nrnfitfthlv by those who are in favor of the measure. Will Fight Two Cent Rate. Roanoke, Va., August 16.?The Norfolk & Western Railroad Company will ask the courts to relieve it from the operation of the 2-cent rate law of West Virginia. Notice has been given to Judge S. C. Burdett of the Kanawha circuit court by the attorneys for the Norfolk & Western that they will present their petition to his court on August 23, asking for a permanent injunction to restrain the proper officials from instituting criminal or civil proceedings against the road, its agents or officers for failure to comply with the lower fare law. Judge Burdett has held the West Virginia 2-cent law to be unconstitutional on its face in the cases )f the Coal & Coke, the Chesapeake fc Ohio and the Virginian railways. randerbilt Lends to Negro Fireman. Asheville, N. C., August 17.?The joot-begrimed note of George Logan, colored, found its way into the private car of George W. Vanderbilt, where a missive from many a person ?f orroator nrpfpnsinns than a npern iireman would not have been received. Furthermore, it brought George 5500 on account of old association. George was stoking the engine vhen he observed the Vanderbilt private car, "Swannannoa," coupled on ?or the run to Washington. The incident set him to thinking that he needed $500 to pay for a place he svas buying, and maybe Mr. Vanderbilt would lend it to him, because bis folks had sold part of the Biltnore estate to Vanderbilt. He wrote i note, which was taken by a friendly porter to the Vanderbilt car. Later Logan had a letter asking bim if he could get a pass ahd come :o New York. George did. He told Mr. Vanderbilt about the little home ne was buying and that he would ose it unless he got $500. Mr. Vanierbilt had inquiries made, which resulted in Logan being told that if Ire called at the Biltmore estate office Monday he would get a check for 5500. ' : X%.-> COLUMBIA MAX IX TROUBLE.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: A recent writer spoke of old Barnwell county as "gopher county." Of course the reference was made also to the portion of old Barnwell county new forming Bamberg county. The writei now lives in the State of Texas, and has made that part of the country his home for many years, and doubtless is not informed that the best portior of the old county is formed into a county, making one of the most progressive counties in the State, witl its capital at the thriving little towr U1 LJa.UA UC1 5. ? UUU k UlkUU lu ivitvvi on old Barnwell, the mother county for there is plenty of progress anc thrift to be found over there, anc some of as good land as to be founc in the State. I spoke of Barnwell as the mothe] county. We citizens are proud tc claim this distinction, and true it is a distinction if heritage and patriot ism means anything. We have onlj to trace the record of South Caro lina's history from her infancy anc see therein the "beacons" character ized in her noble sons, of which lives and of such are vital to the nation's :ause. And in scanning its page: from the first recognition of freedon jy the feeble colonies we turn th< r:archlight upon old Barnwell distric and we find celebrities and thougl somewhat provincial or circumscrib ed, these lives add to help make vita the nation's stern stand for freedon against the British crown. We see neighbors fighting neigh bors (the so-called Tories) for th< perpetuation of the declaration of in dependence. We behold Tarletoi Brown, of "revolutionary fame,' crossing the Savannah river in i bateau under fire from the Torie from the river banks. His friends two in number, lying fiat in the boa to secure themselves from the bullet falling thick around, while Col Brown fearlessly steers the boat ii safety, only to receive a few bulle punctures through his overcoat.

Four thousand dollars is the pric< Mrs.^ Katherine McFadden, wife o Dr. George F. McFadden, a dentist of 13 North Sixtieth street, Philadel phia, is demanding for one kiss, al leged to have been forcibly stoler from her by Everett Nock, a Wesi Philadelphia real estate dealer. In ? civil suit, he is accused of throwing his arms about her and implanting ? smack on the right cheek, whil< showing her a suite of rooms h( wished to rent. According to the petition filed Mrs. McFadden visited Nock's offic< in* search of apartments. The rea estate man took her to a house a lit tie distance from the office.
