Cotton See 11 Oil Mill*, fcic. As a rule the tirst quarter "of the year Is not propitious for the neorporution of new industries and enterprises. but this year the office of the secretary of state has recorded the organization of a very large n una be I of comuanies which show that the State knows no halting in the forward march on the road of progress. There have been a great many banking institutions set on foot?some of them companies of not very large capitalization, but still in tlie Held for the upbuilding of small communities. The number of small cotton seed oil mills is increasing so rapidly that the situation becomes almost alarming, foi fear that they will get in each others way and lie able to operate for only ;i small part of the year on'account ol the fact that the supply of cottor seed is restricted and the big organiza t kins \s iU and must have seed in ordei t?> keep their i hints running. Then is as much abuse of machinery idlt as there is in machinery in operation it is said. There have been a few cotton millorganized and others which have not reported to the secretary of state art being projected. As a rule these art small mills in sections not occupier heretofore with such industries? shewing that the developcinenl of South Carolina is not conlined t< one section. The most significant fact in connection with the cottor mil) business is the tremendous amount expended in the increase o1 the capitalization of companies whicl have been operated for some time. The total amount of cotton mil capitalization this year is $4,000,000 in banking institutions, #1,095,000; li cotton seed oil mills, $308,000; it light, power and icc companies, $335, 000; and the total amount of all con cern.i chartered and commissioner hint t*?e first of the year is $7,283, 000.

I Tlireo SuicidoM In a Day. Three persons committed suicide in Washington on Wednesday. All used : carbolic acid as a medium of ending life. The three suicides were Leonard II. Mangum, a former clerk in the census oillce, Guy E. Padgett, a real estate and insurance agent, and Mrs. Sadie lMummcr, a young woman, whose husband keeps a lunch room on Pennsylvania avenue. Mr. Mangum was a native of North Carolina, but lived for many years in Arkansas. It Is said that lie atone time was wealthy but lost ills money and was compelled to come to this city to seek employment. He tost iiis position in the census oftlce last July and since then had been unemployed. Iiis body was found beneath a tree in the reservation sou til of the White House grounds. The Ideal Man. Madam Sarah Grand talks contemptuously of "Mere Man." Not so, however, a St. Paul club woman, who responded to the toast. "The Ideal 1 Man" at a recent club function. She said: "Man is too capable. He Is the 1 paragon of animals. On his own 1 ground lie surpasses Lite lion In magnanimity. the fox In acumen, the I parrot in repartee, the monkey In versatility, the ant in thrift, the llesh in self control, tiie spider in all that | goes to make up a valued meml>er of society. 1 dare say that, if the facts ; were uknown, man is more of an I absolute success than the mule!" i I MN'ti MKN KILLKI) By tha Explosion of a Powder Kill In Pennsylvania. IT WAS FELT FIVE MILES AWAY. IVople Wore Hprl'iunly Injured t>y llutitK About tlx* ltutldlnicM !> Which Tlicy Worked. The extensive plant of the Crescent Powder company, at Ganister, Pa., was completely wrecked by a series or four explosions Friday morning. Of the thirty employes, nine were killed outright ana all the others were badly injured by being blown about the buildings in which they were employcd. The dead: Frank McKernan, I toss | Kennedy, George Fay, Andrew Garril lace, Charles Iloss, William Lyons, Guiscppi Maleo, Frank Slrass, John lVtrovin ki. The ages of the dead raugcd from 2o to 25 years. Seven of them were Americans and two were Italians. The list of injured includes Adorn Tuggnrl, of Pittsburg, the superintendent of the company. who was found unconscl us to his < tllcc by ids w ife and was dragged out of the burnins' building by her at tlie peril of in r own life. The first explosion occurred am-uig the material in the mixing house, blowing that builditiL' to atoms and also destroying the two punching houses and the otliee. Notliing was left of the structures. Fire atose in the other buildings. The force of the explosion was felt in towns tiv miles away and all houses mi t lalocality were damaged. The bodies of the dead are unrecognizable. Tin lire at the deserted plant continued throughout the day and no person ventured near the doomed structures, fearing additional explosions. There are 2.240 boxes of dynamite stored in the buildings and greater calamities are predicted should another explosion occur. Terror-stricken farmers and limestone quarry men have Hocked into the town of Williamsburg for refuge. The Crescent Powder company supplied the powder and dynamite used in the large limestone quarries of the United States Corporation in tins county and is owned i?y Pittsburg eapalisls. There were eleven buildings in the plant, of which number five are still standing. The estimated value of Lite plant was $35,000. A DISASTROUS BLAZE KIcyoii >1 u I en, ItnriiPH anil Nuihli-n (ilH'N l'|> III Mlllllkl'. The Charleston 1'nst says tire swept the barn and stables of Mr. John N. Vorhees Thursd iy night in St. An drews, where he conducts a large truck farm. The barn, containing a lot of truck, the stables and about eleven mules, were consumed bv the tlames. Ity heroic work, two mules, a horse and a wagon were saved. The loss is not known, but it is supposed it will be several thousand dollars. The particulars of the tire are nii-ai;er and tile only information that could be learned was received over the telephone fri m the llorres farm, some distance from Mr. Vorhees' place. Mr. Vorhees, when notified of the tire early Friday morning, lert the Argyle Hotel, where he Iwiards, immediately, for his farm, and up to a late hour Friday afternoon lie had not returned to I he city. The tire occured Thursday night about 10 o'clock. When discovered. it had gained considerable headway and all effort to save tic property by residents of St. Andrew was witliout avail. It is understood that a large amount of vegetables, consisting of beans, potatoes and peas, w hich had been stored in the barn Thursday afternoon, were lost in the tire. The truck had just been gathered for shipment to Northern markets. Mr. Vorhees' farm is one of the best known in this State. It is in a high state of cultivation and a model of neatness. His farm is often visited by tourist who come to Charleston in the spring. It is believed that the property was partially covered by insurance. For the Thoughtful. If Christ possessed no other authority than that derived from his blameless and heroic life, his testimony might lie set against that of all the morbid, the diseased, the blind, and the evil-minded who have borne I witness to the fot.ilit.v r?f tinm. .a effort. In knowledge of life it is spiritual rectitude and insight which count; numbers have 110 significance. I If we are to suffer, let us suffer as he did, In sublime silence; if we are to he scourged and rejected, let us keep our spiritual dignity amid the squalor of sin; if we are to die, let us die for and witli our race. Such a bearing plucks j the bitterness out of sorrow, and makesdeatha revelation of immortality. And such a bearing translates life Into a speech full of spiritual reality and promise. Hamilton W. Mable. Howard Found Guilty. At Frankfort, Ky., in the third trial of James Howard for the killing of Gov. William Goebel, over three years, ago. the prisoner was found guilty. The Jury first reported that It could not agree. Judge Cantrell then sent Its members hack with Instructions to remain until an agreement was reached. A half h ur later the Jury again reported with a verdict of guilty, and tlxlng the punishment at life imprisonment. The jurors all voted for a verdict of guilty, the disagreement being as to the extent of punishment. Death was favored by all but Juror Hurkes, who announced that lie would under no circumstances vote for the deatli penalty and a verdict for life sentence was agreed upon. ~T~ T-,3 LLL . .1 . FOR 1H2 LADIES, Suini1 Facta About KoKtgtmriitt Thnt Will Interest Tlicin. The longest engagement on record, says the New York World, Is 75 years and it took place in Hohemia, where engagements of l"> and even 20 years : are so common as to cause no remark. ; The names of the wooer and wooed were respectively Franz Ilosuer and Anna ltenner and they had been I courting continuously for 75 years, hut hud repeatedly deferred the bridal day. At last Franz became fatally ill and was married on his death-bed on the evf of his one hundredth birthday, the age of the bride and widow being 90. In Russia long engagements are not relished by betrothed young men, although the ladies usually are not at ^ all averse to them. Indeed, these ^ latter not Infrequently use all sorts of v artifices In order t? stave oil the wed- ( ding day to as distant a date as pos-, sible. Perhaps the custom which decrees that the Russian bridegroomelect must send Ills sweetheart a present every day, no matter whether the engagement last for ten week or ten C yea is, may have soniet'iing to do with this anomalous state of affairs. u< The regularly recognized length of \l a Siamese engagement is exactly <>i i w montli. Ft?r the bride to ask lor . u extension beyond that "limit is held to savor of reprehensible prudery. p Moreover in.Sinn, oM maids are u - " known, as all girls marry. I'oe i< asou foi liii.s is probably to l?e fomnl in W| tlie low estimation in wnteh innnarried women are held. I'll -y are not ^ only looked down upon; they are ;iti solutely of no account whatever. A> soon as the marriage ceremony is p. r p formed, however, the hif'erto neglect- Ij ed and despised little female atom be- u comes distinctly a "somebody." Pen pie who would not have deigned to Lj even recognize tier existence while in the state of single "blessedness," now 60 admit her willingly to their houses and even go out of their way to seek j her friendship. Still, it is not until I she has become a mother that she is ^ held to have reached her highest estate. Then she lias attained the ^ pinnacle of honor, can claim as a right presentation at court and is addressed by the coveted titled of "The U Matronly One." In the Argentine Republic an ongaged man who dallies beyond a reasonable time ere leading his tlance to the altar is heavily fined; that Is if he . is over 20. Moreover, lie is not per- jv mltted by the State after attaining { that age to enjoy free the pleasures of bacheloihood, even although he may not have committed himself so Iv far as to have promised marriage to any maiden. In other words every Argentine Jack mustchoose his .Jill as ^ soon as lie arrives at years of dlscre- ' tint]. If he fails to do so the penalty 1 Is a payment by the defauler of $."> a month to the national treasury, and this is increased as the years g>? by up 1/ to no fewer than $;t0 per month A < hily when he has celebrated hi-. eigh- ^ tieth hrithday, it tie "ver <1 es so is ti? held exempt, the legislature probably regarding liiin then as a '"hopeless , ease" so far as the matrimonial market L is concerned. There is, however, A even as a young man, one loophole o: L escape provided tor him. ll he can prove that he has proposed and been ^ reiuscd three times in one year he is , held to have, as it were, done lit?, best, and to have earned immunity.
