The Barnwell county dispensary
board has decided To establish ele\en
dispensaries in that county. My,
those people over there must be
thirsty.
Our merchants should use the parcel
post instead of express whenever
possible. The rates are much lower
for transportation, and they can sell
goods cheaper if the cost of transportation
is less. The cost is finally paid
by the consumer, so this is one way
to cut the cost of high living. Bamberg
merchants, instruct the houses
with whom you deal to send everything
you order by parcel post, never
bv express, and you will see what a
saving there will be in charges.
^ ^
Mayor Grace does not seem to be
making much headway in his protest
and charges in the matter of the
election of Congressman Richard S.
Whaley. The cause of pure elections
can hardly be helped by anything
which Mr. Grace might say or do.
If the election of Mr. Whaley is to be
probed, it might not be a bad idea
to ventilate the whole thing, as it
has been said that Mr. Whaley's opponent
spent about as much as Mr.
Whaley, and it should be remembered
the Mayor Grace was campaign manager
for Mr. Hughes. The fact is
Grace is a "piker." He was evidently
beat at his own game and now he
squeals like a stuck pig.
LEVER GIVES SMITH CREDDIT.
Says Senator Originated Features of
Cotton Futures Amendment.
Washington, September 30."?South
Carolina figured conspicuously in the
lively struggle in the House to-night
over the Clark cotton features amendment
to the tariff bill, for which the
lower chamber substituted the SmithLever
proposition.
The Democratic floor leader, Mr.
Underwood, made a statement declaring
that the first he had ever
heard of the principles embodied in
the substitute was when Senator
Smith, of South Carolina introduced
last year a bill of which they were
the feature. Mr. Underwood announced
that he would give all of his time
in the debate over the Smith-Lever
amendment to Representative A. F.
Lever.
The chairman of the committee on
agriculture made a clear and strong
speech in behalf of the substitute and
took occasion to say that while the
measure just introduced by Mr. Underwood,
and directly approved by
President Wilson, was drawn at his
(Mr. Lever's) suggestion, after conferences
with experts and consultation
with the Secretary of Agriculture
and the Postmaster General, a
bill embodying the fundamental principles
of the House substitute for the
Clark amendment was introduced
last year in the Senate by "a man
who has given not one day or one
year, but twenty years to the study
of this subject, the junior Senator
from South Carolina, Senator Smith."
The South Carolina delegation
voted en masse for the Smith-Lever
amendment. All were present, except
Mr. Finly, who was paired. The
Republicans threw their strength almost
solidly on the side of the Clark
amendment, hoping to embarrass the
Democrats, and came near succeeding.
It is the opinion of the shrewdest
observers that the day was saved
by the authoritative announcement
that President Wilson was in favor

TlIAPPKi: FOUND GOLD MINE

I od in a two-night vision, has cliscov. <

and silver mine supposed to have i

Samples of the gold ore sent to Al- j

they contain 12.60 in gold to the ton.
while the silver ore assays at about
the same ratio. The samples also con- 1

' per, crack shot and a man of his
| word, tells the following tale: (
An old Spaniard, one whoseappear1
once was nor altogether pleasing, ap|
peared to him in a vision 011 two sucreeding
nights as he slept. The Spaniard
told him to go to a certain spot
on his farm back of Sly Pond, in the
, vicinity of Three Ponds in that part ,
of the town of Fort Ann known as I
Michegann, and that he would find a (
cave there in which the Spaniard had ,
mined and smelted and coined gold
and silver 250 years ago.
"This stuff was left there and you i
are the man we want to have it." said j
the Spaniard, according to Mr. Chase, j j
The mysterious man left-that vicinity j
250 years ago. when he built a stone !
wall across the cave, a short distance j
from its mouth. Just back of this wall j
he told Chase would be found a large j'
iron chest, containing gold and sil- j
ver coins and a large amount of bul-1
lion, both refined and crude, all!
abandoned by the Spaniard two and i '
ja half centuries ago.
i Chase was considerably affected by \ '
| the vision, but decided to await its ; '
| repetition before he started out. and ;
isure enough the same Spaniard ap-1'
peared to him the following night. j
Convinced that an effort to locate j
the gold and silver would cost him j
nothing more than a little work, if he {'
should be disappointed. Chase started j
out early the next morning. He went j1
to the place indicated by the Spaniard 1
and did some excavating. He then
covered up the entrance, had some
samples, which he brought away, as- ^
saved, and is now preparing to open ;
< up his mine and reap the harvest
which has been bestowed upon him. J

,^LL QUIET AT MIDDENDORF. ]
Calm Reigns After Rattle With Des- \
perado.?His Wife Captured.
McBee, Sept. 29.?Everything is
quiet at Middendorf today, following
the bloody events of yesterday, when
J. M. King, magistrate's constable, 1
v.as killed by James Davis, a negro 1
desperado, who himself met death in 1
his burning house. The negros's wife,
who assisted him in the first skirmish 1
with the officers, and later fled, was j j
captured today by Rural Policeman j1
J. T. Grant and is now in jail at 1
Chesterfield.
The inquests into the death of Mr. 5
King and of the negro were held to- 1
day. *
After tne first skirmish, in which 1
Davis shot Sheriff Douglass and *
Deputy Abbott, the latter slightly, the 1
negro took refuge in his house. It 1
v as there that Mr. King was shot by 1
the negro, while stooping down to
look under the house. Mr. King's body 4
was removed and the house fired.
The negro, badly wounded by the vol- (
leys of the posse which surrounded j1
him, crept under the house to escape ]
the storm of bullets which greeted 1
him as he rushed from the burning 1
building. There, too badly wounded *
to move, he perished. *
All yesterday a posse searched for 1
Davis' wife, who had aided him in 1
barricading his house and had then 1
escaped while the sheriff went for re- ?
inforcements. Today she was found *
by Policeman Grant and taken to (
Chesterfield, where she was lodged in 1
jail. J
Davis was a desperate character {
and his negro neighbors are glad that J
he is out of the way. Several guns *
and pi6tols were found in the house (
and in the ruins after the fire.

MORGANATIC MARRIAGES. gjs
ITagio Results Sometimes Follow
Love Affairs of Royalty. ^
Royally shall mate only with royal- <g3
y. This is an unwritten law of na- jgj
ions. Rut love laughs at laws as . 3s
.veil as at locksmiths, and royal rank .
"cunts for nothing when the heart j
>peaks. The consequences at times. @
however, ore tragic in the extreme,;?
E'Oignant grief sometimes ending a /g
hopeless passion. One is reminded of j 3K
:his fact by the astounding revela- j
tions made by Countess Marie Larisch i ?
in her reminiscences, "My Past." con-; ?
cerning the ill-fated Crown Prince &
Rudolph, only son of the Emperor, ?
Francis Joseph of Austria and the jig
Countess Vetsera. with whom he had j *
fallen in love.
In 1881 the crown prince married ?
Princess Stephanie?now Countess ! v?
Lonyay. for she ultimately contracted W
a morganatic marriage. It was. how- i?
ever, a marriage of convenience, and ! /g
in 1S87 the crown prince met and fell I Sf
in love with the beautiful Countess
Vetsera. According to the Countess ! vjg
Larisch. they met secretely on several j @
occasions, and ultimately the Coun-; ?
tess. Vetsera went to the prince's /?
hunting chateau near Vienna. Ex- ig
actly what happened there is still a 5S
mystery, but there seems little doubt, ?
from the countess' book, that, recog- ?
nizing the hopelessness of their pas- ^
tho nvinnp and countess decided I?
to die and it would seem that the ^
crown prince first shot the countess
and then blew out his own brains.
The revelations made by the Countess
Larisch concerning this royal \2
love tragedy calls attention to the @
fact that the history of the house of ^
the proud and ancient Hapsburgs ?
contains more stories of mesalliances ig
than any other royal house. Some as
have been attended with happy re- ]Sj
suits, while others have had mysteri- ?
ous and tragic conclusions. In 1SS9 ^
the Archduke Johann. nephew of the Q
Emperor Joseph, married a dancer, /g
Milly Stubel. at the registry office at 5s
Islington. He renounced his rank,
took the name of .John Orth, and was ?
last heard of serving as a sailor on ?
board the Margherita, a ship that ?
disappeared 011 the voyage between /g
Buenos Ayres and Callao. No trace ]g
of him has ever been found, and the
tate of the arckduke and his wife ?
still remains a mystery. @
The tragic end of Prince Rudolph ?
naturally recalls how King Alexander ?
of Servia lost his throne and life A
through his infatuation for Mme. /g
Draga Maschin, who was formerly 3
lady-in-waiting to the queen's mother ..
and whom he married. The climax
was reached when the belief got ??
abroad that King Alexander intended
tc. propose Queen Draga's brother as
heir apparent, and so strong was the ??
feeling against the proceeding, which
svas in defiance of all royal laws and 3
precedent, that a band of army of- t
ficers broke into the royal palace and ?E
assassinated tjjie couple. flj
There was also a tragic sequel to
the attempt, about fifty years ago, of
the Grand Duchess Olga, the beauti- #<
ful favorite daughter of Czar Nicholas IS
[. to elope with a handsome young
lieutenant. At the last moment the
latter's heart failed him. Dreading jj
the emperor's anger, he made a clean
:>reast of the whole affair to his majjsty,
with the result that the impul- *.
five young princess was married
Posthaste to the disreputable Prince
Charles of Wurtemberg, and lived a tt!
nost unhappy married life, while the ?|j
'aithless lover was rewarded by such
rapid promotion tnat ne was a neia | *jj
marshal before he reached his fiftieth
jirthday. *5
Not long ago a London workhouse
sheltered an old lady who had for
rears been the morganatic wife of
Charles XV of Sweden, to whom she
vas married when she was seventeen, ffj
It was not until some years after her V
carriage that she learned who her *?;
msband really was, and was then tP
old that he was compelled, for po- ??
itical reasons, to break off the at- ?<
:achment. The heart-broken woman, ??
vishing to sever all connection with V
:he past, went to London, where, S
ifter some time, she married an En- *5
*lishman. She intrusted all her mon- ??
jy, including a large sum which the ?
-ting had left her on his death, to this ?|j
second husband, who ran off with it jjb
ind left her to face poverty. After
struggling vainly to maintain herself 5!
she was glad to find shelter in one
)f the workhouses. ?
Morganatic brides, it appears, often ?
meet with misery. The Baroness &
raughan, the morganatic wife of the #*
ate king of Belgium, was fortunate
?nough to be able to secure estates
3 r\ fnrhino en ffi ci on t tn toon tior in
luxury for the rest of her life. Quite
lift'erent, however, was the lot of the
morganatic wife of King Leopold's
?ather, the first king of Belgium, who,
ifter his first wife, the daughter of **
Beorge IV. died, consoled himself
some time later by marrying morganuically
a celebrated actress, with
vhom he lived a happy life. Wk?n ??;
le accepted the throne of Belgium,
iiowever, he divorced her, and she ^
spent the rest of her days in obscuri- W
;v.?Philadelphia Ledger.
