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?"

TILLMAN'S "ALLEGORICAL COW."

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;

in to-day's Congressional Record, w;

the South and West, while her golden pc
milk is being drawn in New York and of

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.

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.

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.

that he is a teetotaller and will

hotel. In a Glasgow hotel it is the ei

"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

coast is perhaps the roughest 1 n

that the Cape Lookout harbor ^
was projected. 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

their cars of coal for supplying the
sti
expected fleets of vessels that will put
