WILL NOT MA 1\K FURNITURE. Directors cf the Penitentiary Deride 1 Against Furniture Factory. Columbia, Oct. 8.--The board of directors of the State penitentiary announced to-night that a decision had been reached not to engage in the manufacture of chairs and furniture. This action was taken on the opinion from the attorney general's J office to the effect that after the act abolishing the hosiery mill, the di rectors had no right to make a new contract. The board will hold another conference with Assistant Atty. General Dorainick to-morrow, when an opinion will be received as to the right of the counties to call upon the Penitentiary for their convicts to be used in road work. Found Ilead Beside Railroad Track. i Columbia, Oct. 12.?Thos Edward Lewis, shipping clerk and foreman of ! the mixing department of the Poco- j moke Fertilizer Company, was found i dead lying beside the Southern Rail- | way track about one-half mile beyond j the plant of the company in Lexing- | tr>n pnnntv. earlv this morning. The! v * " I top of his head was crushed and 011J the right side of the neck there was | a large gash, which severed the jugular vein. W. C. Weed, coroner of Lexington county, after making an investigation this morning, at which three witnesses were sworn, adjourned the inquest until 5 o'clock next Saturday afternoon. The opinion has heen expressed that Mr. Lewis had met with foul i plry. The inquest has been postponed until further investigation can be made. An investigation developed that Mr. Lewis received his pay Saturday afternoon. Saturday night at 11 o'clock he was seen by B. T. Yon. his roommate, who stated that at that time Mr. Lewis had about $1">. When the body was found this morning the money was gone. Mr. Lewis was 29 years of age and unmarried. He was a native of Branson, in this State, and had been connected with the Pocomoke Fertilizer Company for ten months. His mother is Mrs. Louisa C. Lewis, of Brunson. He is survived by two brothers, S. W. Lewis, of the First National Bank, Savannah, and J. C. Lewis, of the J. C. Lewis Company, of Savannah. and two sisters, Mrs. M. 0. You mans, of Columbia, and Mrs. S. Barker, of Norway. Mr. Lewis, it is supposed. was struck by Train No. 24, of the Columbia and Savannah line, in charge of Conductor Thomas. The train crew discovered the body. It will be carried to Brunson for interment. EXPLOSION DAMAGE $12,000. Other Effects of Accident at Hampton County Lumber Mill. Hampton, Oct. 11.?The explosion of a large boiler at the lumber manufacturing establishment, owned and operated by Ligntsey Brothers, at Mileve,about seven miles from Hampton, yesterday, which resulted in the death of one negro workman and the injury of several other laborers, caused a loss which is conservatively estimated at $12,000. The damage resulting by reason of delay in operation of the big plant will be considerable. There is thought to be insuranpp to rover the loss. Pieces of the boiler were found in all directions within a radius of onehalf mile of the plant. One negro fireman was caught bodily up and thrown through the air for a distance of about 100 feet. A large piece of wood, which camp out of the furnace under one of the large boilers, was blown 200 feet through one of the front windows of the office building | and commissary, overturning a large j can of lard and literally strewing lard over the whole rear portion of the store and office. The negro, Frank Patterson, who was killed, was about 50 feet from the boiler. He was driving a mule to a cart. His body was torn to pieces and the mule was killed. The dome to the boiler was found to have been blown two hundred yards through two houses and a shed. It knocked the top off an automobile, broke the wind shield into pieces and the complete dome sat itself down in the seat of the auto, necessitating its removal before Mr. Henry Lightsey could use his machine. An inquest was held at Miley's yesterday and the testimony, it is said, showed that no blame os account of, negligence or otherwise could attach to the owners. One Problem Solved. A doctor who on one occasion was giving an informal talk on physiology declared that it had lately been found that the human body contains sulphur. "Oh, indeed." exclaimed a young lady listener; "then how much sulphur is there in a girl's body?" "Well." said the doctor, smiling, "the amount varies." "And is that?' asked the girl, "why some of tis make so much better matches than others?" I TILLMAN'S "ALLEGORICAL COW." illustrated Article in Congressional Tv Record Causes Flurry. Washington, Oct. S.?Senator Tillman's "allegorical cow" sketched to eighteen years ago to accompany an Pc attack by the South Carolina Senator >e upon Wall street and the "money tr; power" illustrated the same article of in to-day's Congressional Record, w; One view shows the cow as an elong- stj ated animal, symbolic of the nation- of al resources feeding on the farms of the South and West, while her golden pc milk is being drawn in New York and of " 1 J rnu /n Ann- ic? rvio_ I f Vi i\ew mngiaiia. iucii mc wn io ?.? tured turned around, but the Su- ed preme Court is choking her as she sp attempts to feed on the income tax. th Southern farmers are getting no wi milk. th Unanimous consent for inserting the article with illustrations in the ; Record was obtained by Senator Til!j man. who said he made the request "because so much that was mere sur- y( ! mise and prophecy then has come p( ! true." He added that he rejoiced that the country no longer could be r.j "bamboozled" and that under a Dem| ocratic administration legislation was i being enacted which would prevent ; the robbery that had gone on in the ^ past. The appearance of the cartoon in ^1 the Record created a flurry at the Capitol. Nobody remembered when * * such a thing had happened before. ? Ai Curious Hotel Customs. In an Edinburg hotel the bar counter contains a slot, into which each ^ visitor who is heard to swear must drop a penny, and a notice to that ^ effect is displayed. These pennies are at intervals collected and sent to ^ aid the funds of one of the local institutions. Tc A curious custom prevails at an hotel in Dumfries. In one of the \( public rooms there is an armchair which was often occupied by Robert j Burns, the Scottish national poet. Any one who enters the room and j( seats himself in this chair is ex1 pected to "sand treat" to all pres-1 f} ent. when the memory of the bard is drunk. At Aberdeen, in a temperance hotel. each visitor, on signing his name in the hotel book, n desired also to affix his signature to a card testifying that he is a teetotaller and will A] not bring any intoxicants into the * hotel. In a Glasgow hotel it is the ei custom weekly on Sundays, to go round the various rooms and take a al subscription on behalf of one of the * city charities. In another Glasgov. CO hotel the proprietor, religiously inclined, holds divine service each Sunday at noon, to which all the boarders are invited. At several of the I p ( large hotels in the north of Scotland the guests are beguiled from their ^ slumbers each day by the playing ^' of the bagpipes, while in an hotel cu in Inverness a posthorn is employed on for the same purpose.?Tit-Bits. THE HARBOR OF REFUGE. Ui la: ? ' -m -wa. xi ri . it'.. 11 t ape liOOKout ana us ureal sea t>un sp to Cost $5,000,000. co "Off Cape Lookout, in North Carolina, in three or four years, there will be the greatest harbor of refuge in ^ the world," remarked F. B. Arundel! of Raleigh, at the Raleigh. Work has been started on the great sea wall, for which congress has appro- m' priated $1,400,000 for preliminary work. This wall, when finished, will er be S,000 feet long, more than a mile u< and a half, and 4"> feet high, which, it is estimated, is two and one-half t0 feet above high water at all times; ce 20 feet wide at the top, and when ^ completed will cost more than $5,- St 000,000. That part of the South Atlantic coast is perhaps the roughest 1 n on the Atlantic.

The sea wall is to bl be built of cement and granite, and es the building estimates show that 1,600,000 tons of granite will be used in the construction. "While planned primarily for a 0I* harbor of refuge, this great work will 111 mean that Cape Lookout will be one of the most important coaling stations on the Atlantic coast, and per- ^ haps in the world. The railroads already are buying ground upon which to build tracks over which to run S6 their cars of coal for supplying the sti expected fleets of vessels that will put into the harbor."?Washington Post. co LIKE BRYAN'S STAND. in Mayor Thompson Won't Attend When w Liquor is Served. at Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 8.?All public banquets in Chattanooga in in the future will be without wine or in without the presence of Mayor T.
