Ti re The editor of this newspaper hardly expects to separate these South Carolina editors from their free pass- to es, but our idea is to put them on rr record at least. - an If it wasn't for losing Jim Byrnes tn as congressman from this district, his sh , friends would like mighty well to see him go to the senate. But we can't cr afford to lose him as our representa- be tive. as m m hu Unsolicited a gentleman <walked into our office a few days ago and do stated that he wanted to subscribe to the dormitory building fund of the Carlisle School, and told us to put Ge him down for $50.

Dubois, of that \ State, at the Shoreham. "Some persons think the Democrats being now di] in power the Mormons will vote the pa Democratic ticket. They do not un- At derstand the situation. The Mormon ye church is a political and commercial si< institution. Politically Mormons be- ru lieve in the concentration of power, na They are taught to accept the advice of and judgment of their leaders, the te: president and the 12 apostles. Com- an mercially they are high protection- oe ists and always will be. "S "The Mormon organization is the most complete trust within itself in the United States. Most of them are iarmers, wnu uwu sueey, uuga, auu jja cattle, all of which are on the free tn list under the new tariff bill. The 0f church controls some 12 or 15 beet nc sugar factories in the inner mountain he .country, the president of the church ho being president of all of these plants. pa The church is a partner of the sugar re, trust. All the beets for these fac- cfc tories are raised by Mormons. It is a tie rare thing for a non-Mormon farmer th to raise sugar beets for Mormon fac- tei tories. The Mormon church has a monopoly on the salt business in that trj mountain country, the president of ex the church being president of the th' salt factory which gets its product a(j from the great Salt Lake. Salt is on ga the free list. Unless the present pi, Democratic Administration radically de changes its economic policies, there is br no hope for the Democratic party to in secure Mormon votes. The alliance Sh between the Mormons and the inter- be ests is natural, complete and satisfac- fa tory, and will continue until the Dem- e(j ocratic party radically changes its th policies."?Washington Post. st?

Sumter, May 5.?The body of A. M. Bateman, who died at the Sumter Hospital Sunday as the result of wounds received at the hands of T. B. Caughman Saturday, was* taken to Horeb Baptist Church, near Dalzell, and buried this afternoon. Mr. Bateman was about 30 years of age and leaves a wife and several small children. The people of the Dalzell section are much aroused over the shooting. It is said that Bateman was shot in the back. Bateman made a dying declaration as to the shooting, but this is being withheld from the public. Caughman is still in jail. A Father of Fifty Children. A dispatch from Walnut, Ark., says: A table of "Uncle Tom" Ellison's progeny, recast today after the birth of a child to one of his granddaughters, showed a surprising record. Ellison, 93 years old, has married three times. The tables showed that he was the father of 50 children; grandfather of 123 children, greatgrand-father of 60 children, greatgreat-grandfather of 27 children. The range of ages of Ellison's own children is remarkable. The youngest is 11 years old, born 12 years after the Biblical limit of "three score and ten," and the oldest is 65 years old. Hope to Re-Establish Bureau. Washington, May 5.?Congressman Lever recently called upon the new commissioner of internal revenue, W. H. Osborne, and had a very satisfactory discussion with him, in which the preliminary basis for further conferences with respect to the re-establishment of the internal revenue bureau for South Carolina with headquarters at Columbia, was laid. No definite agreement was reached by Mr. Lever and Col. Osborne, but it is known that careful consideration is being given to the recent reorganization of the internal revenue districts which eliminated four of them, consolidating the South Carolina work ~ ^ \t ?. ? wun rne siaie ui nuriu ^aiunua. shot, and falling to the ground, called out, "Get him, boys, for he's got me." Mr. Harter dropped to his knees, and with his 16-shot Winchester riddled the logs and bushes, forming the barricade of the negro, with bullets. The negro evidently fearing to rise did not shiot at the searchers more, and fearing death, the men withdrew out of range of Austin's gun. Austin wisely, from his viewpoint, stuck his overcoat up on a nearby tree, and this coat, which was afterwards recovered by the use of the bloodhounds in getting the scent, was seen to be filled with bullet holes. Talked with Pursuers. No further attack was made on the negro at that time and the authorities in Columbia were communicated with for dogs and men. Night came. Fires were built by two negro men all around this pond except on one side. Austin, knowing that some negroes were engaged in building these fires, walked boldly out to where several white searchers were standing, and upon being halted explained that he was one of the men who had been building fires around the pond and that he was going up to his house and that he hoped they would get the negro who had killed two of the best allowed to pass, but not stopping at white men in this country. He was the house indicated and stooping and doging for the woods, the men on guard knew then that he had escaped and immediately gave chase. Austin entered a branch, and until several hours later was not heard from. Answered With Bullets. A party of eight men who had been sent in an automobile to Cohen's Bluff to intercept the negro should he attempt t cross the Savannah River at that point, when their machine broke down, were returning to the public highway, when the rattle of shells in a bag approaching them caused them to command "Halt." The response were shots from the man's gun. The party returned the fire with probably 50 shots, but no negro was found, he having escaped in the dark. About this time the train from Columbia bearing the hounds arrived and being placed on the trail at tne last place tve negro was seen, failed to get the trail. They were then carried l ack to the pond where the first shooting had occurred and immediately picked up the trail and ran it for several miles, but it ran into a public road and was lost. Reports received at Hampton at about ?> Vlock this afternoon were to the effect that the dogs have recovered t%e trail and were running in Coosawhatchie Swamp with about one thousand men following.

The steel arch bridge over the Hell Gate, in the northern part of New York city, will be, with its viaducts, the largest bridge in the world. Its construction has only recently begun, but preparations for it have been in progress for seven years. It is expected that trains will run over it in less than four years. The bridge and viaducts will measure 15,840 feet in ' T" - m n.:j : _ i lengiu. i ne lay JDiiuge m owuauu is 10,780 feet, and the famous Firth Bridge 9,000 feet. The Hell Gate Bridge will form a part of the so-called connecting railroad, which, though only ten miles in length, will cost about 6,000,000 pounds, out of which the cost of the Hell Gate Bridge will probably be 1,200,000 pounds. The connecting railway, which joins the New Haven system with the Pennsylvania, begins at the New Haven yards, in the Bronx. It is carried on a viaduct to the Bronx Hill, which it will cross by a lift bridge 300 feet long. A viaduct 2,600 feet long will bring the line to Little Hell Gate, which will be crossed by a bridge, and a third viaduct, which crosses Ward's Island, will continue to the edge of Hell Gate, which will be spanned by a great bridge. The catastrophes of the Tav Bridge and the Quebec Bridge are borne in mina Dy an competent engineers, ana in the carefully wrought plans for the Hell Gate Bridge every possible precaution has been taken to insure enough to support on its four tracks at one time four lines of the heaviest modern locomotives. But it is hardly within the bounds of possibility that under the worst conditions of congestion it will ever be called upon to bear such a burden. About 400,000 cubic yards of concrete will be required for this bridge and 4,000 tons of steel. Some pieces of steel will weigh 100 tons apiece. The necessity of this bridge is veryurgent. As Manhattan Island, on which the major portion of New York city is built, became more and more congested by rapidly-increasing population, the difficulty of transporting passengers and freight increased alarmingly, and it became essential to make the island practically a part of the mainland. The building of the Queensboro, the* Williamsburg and the Manhattan bridges, the subway tunnel to Brooklyn, the Hudson tubes to New Jersey and the Pennsylvania Railway tunnels under the East and the North rivers, relieved the congestion for local passenger traffic, but gave no relief to the freight congestion. The Hell Gate Bridge will provide for four lines of steam railroads, two for passenger and two for freight trains. When it is completed it will be possible to travel without change of carriage from Quebec on the north to any of the Southern or Western cities in any part of the great Pennsylvania system; and Manhattan Island, instead of being an obstruction to the traveller, will become a convenience. x Freight traffic on the island at present depends on ferries and floats, and to a part at least of this traffic the building of the Hell Gate Bridge will bring a very great relief. Despite the great proportions and strength of Hell Gate Bridge its architectural features have been so carefully planned that it gives the appearance of symmetry and lightness. The bridge, of course, will be of steel; the abutments of the arch will be stone-and concrete towers, which will divide the arch bridge proper from the steel viaduct approaches. The base of the towers wall be' of granite, the upper portions of molded concrete. The design of the simple and massive towers harmonizes with the design of the arch. Gustav Lindenthal, formerly bridge commissioner of ....ew York, is the consulting engineer and architect. Spotted the Man. A clerical-looking gentleman, in the hope of obtaining a contribution, entered the office of a newspaper and, finding the editor in, began: "I am soliciting aid for a gentleman of refinement and intelligence who is in need of a little ready money, but is too proud to make known his sufferings." "Why!" exclaimed the editor, "I'm the only man in town answering that description. What's the gentleman's name?" "I'm sorry to say I am not at liberty to disclose it." "It must be me, parson.
