Throat Totally.
A man who gave his name as John
Shay, went to the mill of the Wilson
Lumoer company, about four
miles below Lake City on the 18th
of July a*id since that time has been
working for them; for the last lew
days he had been suffering from
chills and fever, but did not stop
his work. Tuesay night supposedly
about nine o'clock, he went into a
small strip of woods just in the rear
of the mill yard and with a razor
cut his throat from ear to ear.
From tne gashes it appears that
the first attempt was not so successful
as he desired; the second one,
however, severed both the jugular
vein and the windpipe. The body was
found Wednesday morning about 9
o'clock and an inquest was held over
t.he body. He was given a decent
burial by the Wilson Lumber Company.
He is described as being a man
about 5 feet 10 inches high, medium
build, with sandy hair, slightly bale
and of Irish descent. There were no
papers about him to lead to his
identity.

standing on the Express track watching
the passing of the freight train

INDIAN COTTON A FAILURE.

vith indifferent success. Egyptian
tnd other exotic varieties hive been
ntroduced from time to time, but

Under garden culture the finer sta
lies have responded well, but tried
n the fields, they have failed to proluce
the results they show in their (
lative soils. Future efforts will be
levoted to the improvement of the ,
taple and yield of the native coton.
A tree cotton from which great v

PROMINENT MEN AND WOMEN
CAUGHT GAMBLING.
Thirty Society Women, Alleged to
Have Been Gambling, Pray Oflicor
Not to Give Out Names.
Consternation was created at Narragansett
Pier, R. I., Monday night
in the higher society circles of this
fashionable summer resort because
of the fear that Constable John G.
Cross, who conducted the gambling
raid at the Narragansett Pier Club
Sunday may make public the names
of the men and women prominent in
society who were on the premises
<it the time. Matrons, personally or
through emissaries, have besought
the officer all day not to give out
their names.
"To publish t.hese names would
give pain and cause unnecessary embarrassment,"
he said, "but if these
people appear in Court tc answer to
the summons, it will then be impossible
to keep their names from
the public, and there will be a good
deal of surprise when it is learned
that prominent men and women are
concerned. And they will have a
lot of embarrassing questions to answer."
Constable Cross said he was being
followed by detectives, whom he believes
to be in the employ of the
society people against w.hom his action
was taken, and he is almost in
fear of his life. Although he succeeded
in securing his release when
'arraigned in Court to answer to an
assault charge, it was on a technicality
only, and he is patiently await
iivg the next move against him.
There were upwards of thirty society'women
in the crowd gathered
about the romette wheels and other
games of chance that he asserted
were in the club house at Hie time
of the action. Many of them have
tried to explain, the constable says,
that they had just dropped in to the
club for lunch, after leaving the hop
at the Casino. He declares that he
saw no signs of any lunch and that
the majority were gathered about
the game boards when he entered.
Constable Cross's arrest occurred
after he had kept solitary vigilance
at the Narragansett Club, a fashionable
resort, standing guard for more 1
than nine hours following a midnight 1
raid, which he had conducted against
the club. He was placed under arrest
on a warrant chaiging him with
assault on an employee of the club,
and taken to police headquarters.
He was immediately bailed out, but
in' the meantime he says evidences J
of gambling, which he alleges he was 1
guarding disappeared, except for phe
articles found in his clothes. He ordered
thirty men and women found 1
at the club to appear in Court Aug- *

The business men of Mullins and

Should the prices remain as they now c

NATURE CURE FOR MANY ILLS.
*(
German Resort Provides Barefoot
Walks, and Sun and Air Baths.
Deep among the hills of a locality
which shall be nameless, surrounded
by shady trees, bright with innumei
able wild flowers, a number of airy
chalets in sunny enclosures have been
erected. It is said to be the first
"nature cure establishment on the Get-man
lines to be opened in this country
apart from sanatoria.
Here one revels in air, sun and
"water baths and tne simple, hygienic
cures which of late years ha\e at
traded so many people abroad, and
walks for miles barefoot over the
'.gratis, drinking in the iresh air and the
sunlight.
It is customary to undress and take
an air bath on arrival, so one discards
their dusty traveling ciothes, and tind^
that running up and down, in the long
grass, was quite invigorating and not
unbearably cold.
, The giow that comes soon after is
adequate reward t'oi any discomfort.
For those who want a water bath then
are let iino the ground several cement
troughs, but so bracing is ?ne air that
many are refreshed without recourse
to water, and, indeed, it is argued that
a man is not a water animal. The air
bath and rub finished one dresses
again, but in loose, light garments,
without a starched collar and without
shoes or stockings. Hare feet, it must
be understood, are at all times the invariable
rule.

Eggs and honey, whole meal bread
and home-made butter, milk and

Two kinds of sun baths are prescribed.
One is ehe natural sun bath,
which simply consists of exposing
the body to the sun in the inclosures;
the other is the cure sun bath, in
which the sun's rays are concentrated
in a glass roofed inclosure.
The latter is claimed to he equal
to the Turkish bath in the usual re
s-pects, and has the advantage of
pure air and the life giving proper
ties of the sunlight. It is customary
to wrap oneself closely in a blanket
after taking the sun bath to facilitate
perspiration.
The barefoot walking is considered
most important and on the green

lightful rambles.

said to be magical in its power of

of sain troubles. ^

IRON ORE DUTY
1
Senator lillman Gixes His Reasons for
Voting for{the Tai
MAKES IT VERY PLAIN
' I '
That the Tax on Iron Ore l>oes Ncl
Increase the Price of any Article
Made Out of Iron to Consumer
and That the Steel Trust Pays tfie
I>uty.
t
In answer to a letter, from Mr.
W. C. Smith, of Willison, S. C., ashing
him to explain why he voted for
a duty on iron ore, Senator Tillman
replied last year as follows:
"Your letter of Alav 2Vh. has rp~
mained unanswered simply because^
I^have been overwhelmed with work
here, and have spent several d(fy9 in
South Carolina, looking after matt
ters at Cleinson, and lost one day
as I returned by reason of a railroat)
wreck.
"I have never printed anything
about my vote on iron ore, and will
very gladly give you an explanation ?' *
direct. I notice that my old encr
mies are making a gre.at howl about
my votes up here, while many others
who have not been enemies are
yelping in chorus, simply because
they are ignorant of conditions. The
trouble with many editors in South
Carolina, is they take and. read the
Associated Press dispatches, which
are colored in behalf of the Republican
party, and are garbled an?l
ondense, an give no adequate conception
of things as they really happen.
"The facts in regard to, iron oro
are simply these: There is/)verwhelming
evidence that there are no Independent
steel or iron producers.
Fhe Steel Trust has abscyjtute control
and enjoys a monopoly of the
iron and steel business in this courtcry.
The so-called independent concerns
are dominated and controlled
by it, though not all owi^ed hy it.
Steel Trusts fixes prices and the
Dthers conform.
"There ure immense, well-nigh
inexhaustible deposits of ir^>n ore in
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota,,
and the Steel Trust controls inotnese
deposits in those States. It
Uso controls, or some of its subsilary
companies do, large deposits in
3uba. It was brought out In the
debate, that some of the Eastern
companies have contracts .with the
Uuban mine owners, to import not
ess than a million tons a year of
3u-ban ore, and 1 don't think it worth
vhile to let this come in free when
t would make no difference whatever
to the consumers of iron and
steel as to the price we would pay
or these articles. I believe that
he American producers of iron and
iteel (that is the Steel Trust mainy),
can compete wirli England, Germany
and France in the markets of
