SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF JOSEPH
H. EARLE.
Career of the Man Who Has Just Beat
en Evans and Will be the Suc
cessor to Irby—A Man
of Destiny.
(Sunday’s Columbia stale.)
Below is given a sketch of the life
and career of South Carolina’s junior
United States senator-elect, whose
election biu been such a complete
surprise to a great many people of
the state:
General Joseph Earle was born in
Greenville, S. C., April 10, 1817, and
received his education at Sumter, S.
C. He afterward attended the Fur
man University at Greenville, grad
uating from the latter institution in
I8C>7. General Earle entered the
Confederate army in July, I8fil, start
ing as a private in Charles’ battery
of light artillery, at the close of the
war a part of Kemper’s artillery. On
his return from the war, as above
stated, he entered Furman Universi
ty. Leaving this institution, he was
appointed principal of the Chicks
Springs high school at Greenville,
holding that position two years,
studying law in the meantime. In
April, 1870, he was admitted to the
bar before Judge James L. Orr, aft
erward minister to Russia.
Following his admission to the bar
be opened a law office at Anderson,
S. C., where he practiced until 1875,
when lie removed to Sumter, at which
place ho resided and practiced his
profession with R. O. Purdy as a
partner for several years.
Jn 1878 General Earle was elected
member of the State legislature from
Sumter county and served two terms,
declining a nomination for re-ection
in 1880. In 1882 he was elected to
the State senate for four years, and
in 1880 was elected attorney general
, of the State, being re-elected in 1888.
lie was selected in ISS'I as a dele-
I gate from South Carolina to the na-
1 tional convention which met in Cin-
! cinnati and nominated General Han-
• cock for President. In 1881 ho was
; selected as a delegate to the Chicago
national convention, which nomi-
< nated Grover Cleveland, and was one
i of the committee selected, one from
each State, to notify Mr. Cleveland
of his nomination. lie has also been
' clioscn a delegate to the State con-
i ventions on a number of occasions.
General Earle was married May 19,
1809, to Miss Anna M. Earle, daugh
ter of Baylis J. Earle of Anderson.
To them have been horn nine children,
one dying in infancy. The Christian
names of those surviving are : Baylis
II., John II., Eleanor M., Lucia 1\,
Anna C., Joseph 11., Lillian and
Wilton.
In 1888 General Earle refused the
nomination on the Democratic ticket
for governor, not desiring to oppose
the re-election of Governor Richard
son, declaring that, if nominated, he
would not stand as a candidate; but
in spite of his declaration more than
100 votes were cast for him in the
convention.
In 1890 he made a canvass of the
State for tfie nomination of governor,
but was superseded by B. It. Tillman,
who was nominated by the Reform
movement, after whose nomint'tion
General Earle refused to oppose him,
though strongly urged to do so.
General Earle’s father was Elias
I). Earle, who was born in Green
ville, S. C.. and there practiced law
for many years, at one time holding
the office of superintendent of public
works of the State. He was married
in 1891) to Susan C. Haynesworth of
Sumter, S. C., and they had eight
children, of whom, the subject of tills
sketch is the youngest. The father
died in 1852 and the mother in 1819.
Some years ago he removed to Green
ville and his home is now in that
city.
After General Earl made the fight
against Tillman in 1890, ho returned
to his home in Sumter comity and re
sumed the practice of his profession.
At the session of the general as-
; seinbly two year ago he was elected
circuit judge over Mr. G. E. Brea-
zeule, one of the strongest Reformers
in the State, by a legislature that
was more thoroughly Reform than
any before or likely to be again.
General Earle was elected upon hi?
merits and in consequence of the ef
forts he had made to bring the v. In
people of the State together again.
; This he now considers Ids proudest
and greatest achievement. He has
iiad a remarkable career. But few
men, occupying the position lie did
in 1890, could stand where he does
; today without a blemish upon bis
came up and joined the church. So character, with his integrity and
we engaged him. The next Sunday 1‘oncsty of purpose unchallenged by
he preached on the duty of marriage, anyone. As a circuit judge he has

in the congregation hooked on to an vcrsal satisfaction,
old maid and was married before Sat
urday night. He got u •f5 fee out of
every couple. But the worst came
last Sunday. He preached upon the
duty of giving all to the Lord, und I
hope I may never die if the two dea
cons didn’t sprain their hacks carry
ing around the contribution baskets,
they were so loaded down with silver.
When the congregation was dismissed
it was just like leaving a faro hank—
there wasn’t a cent in the crowd.
The house hud all the money. We
cun’l stand such eloquence.

ADVANCE IN SURGERY.
The X Har* Are Working * nevolotlon In
Medielne.
The development of the new Uoeut-
gm photography in medieipo and snr-
gery continues at an almost incredible
rate. Many of the latest reports from
Europe read like cable canards, but the
corroborative details and confirmatory
mass of particulars are enough to con
vince the most skeptical. The greatest
interest centers now in the hospital or
laboratory, devoted exclusively to cases
in which the X rays are used, which
has been established in Berlin by Pro
fessor Buka of the Berlin Polytechnic-
uni. Professor Buka himself is a scien
tific expert who is peculiarly fitted to
undertake this enterprise, since it was
he who discovered that all objects penc*.
trablc by the X rays heroine transparent
to the human eye by the aid of a
Crooke’s tube and a screen smeared
with barium cyanide.
An important new phase of Roentgen
photography is also reported from Mu
nich. At the international psychologic
congress now being held there an appa
ratus of special design was used which
enabled the spectators to observe clearly
the action of the diaphragm and heart
of a subject. Just as photography has
succeeded in reproducing life motion by
means of the kinetoscope, vitascope and
cinomctograph, so the hitherto invisible
action of the internal organs may here
after be observed. Not only that, but
by the present process these Roentgen
ray photographs might lie taken fust
enough to insure their reproduction on
a screen. The children of the next gen
eration may thus study anatomy in the
most realistic fashion. As Professor
Buka himself has been quoted as declar
ing, “Skiagraphy is still in its tallow
candle stage. ” What will it be when it
reaches its electric light era?
As for the purely medical aspect of
its development, it is now stated, ac
cording to the report of MM. Lor-
tet and Gcnoud to the French academy
of sciences, that tuberculosis is affected
by the X rays. They inoculated eight
guinea pigs with tuberculosis vims, and
exposed three of them to the rays for an
hour daily during eight weeks. The five
which were kept from the rays developed
abscesses, and their health was derang
ed. The three kept in good health and
grow fat on the rays. The effect of or
dinary sunlight on bacilli has been tried
in the past, but with far from such a
decisive result. The Roentgen rays burn
the human skin itself like sunlight, and
even destroy the hair.
Another curious extension of the use
of these rays is the discovery by Pro
fessors Grumbnch and Du Bois Reymond
of Berlin that they will not only photo
graph the invisible bones of the body,
but also some of the softer parts as well.
By means cf improved tubes these two
Ecicntists have succeeded in revealing
thiF larynx and the diaphragm. The doc
tor of tomorrow will evidently have no
need for a diagnosis. All that will be
necessary for him to do will be to pull
out bis little Roentgen snap shot camera
and present to the patient indisputable
ocular * vidence of the pn cise ailment.
Gases cf wrong diagnosis will bo rare
indu'd. Evn the exact causes of dys
pepsia will bo revealed at a glance, and
nobody will need to bo apprehensive
about appendicitis or in dread doubt as
to the need of the surgeon’s horrifying
knife. —Phi 1 addphia K« coni.
A Poor Oxford Scholar.
A fortunate accident, the discover^
an undergraduate’s account book fox
the year 1(582-8, enables us to trace in
comparatively minute detail the ex
penses and in some measure the life of
an Oxford student of no great means at
the close of tlie seventeenth century.
The undergraduate in question, one
James Wilding, seems to have been a
servitor of St. Mary’s Hall, and after
ward be came a member cf Merton col
lege. The total cost of Lis degree, or
rather his total expenses up to the end
of the term in which ho took his degree,
were something less than £'.)7, a sum
which might represent in modern values
about three times as much. But even
such an expenditure was largo compared
with such cases as that of Whitfield,
whose popularity ns a servitor, gained
by his previous experience ns a tapster,
enabled him to take his degree in 17535
at a cost to Ids friends of less than £24,
and Bishop Wordsworth has recorded
instances where the entire outlay was
even less than that.
Board and lodging, as we have said,
were extremely cheap. Though James
Wilding seems to have lived in Oxford
the whole year round, his total expenses
for chamber rent and food were no more
than £10 for nearly five years. His
terminal payments were on a similarly
modest scale. Ten shillings a term was
his tutor’s lee. Half a crown to the bar
ber, 4s. or 5s. to his bedmukcr and laun
dress, an occasional largess of sixpence
to the buttery boy und the cook, seem
to have included all of what we may
term his lix< d charges. His matricula
tion cost him 7h. (id., his entrance to
that coliego 5s., und the fees ui>oii tak
ing Ids degree something over £8.—

A Frrncli ficnlptor limultrd.
Through the discourtesy and stupidity
of the local Bumbles the town of Dover
has lost the fine statue of King Lear
which Mr. Albert Mulct, the French
sculptor, desired to present to it. Mr.
Mulct made the offer through Lord
Dufferin, and it was accepted, and sev
eral sites were successively selected and
abandoned for various reasons. Now
the corporation, although it has had a
photograph of the statue in its posses
sion for a year and could have sent
some one to Paris to examine it if there
was any doubt as to its value, Lts coolly
requested the artist to forward the
bronze to Dover in order that they may
come to a decision concerning it. Mr.
Mulct is naturally indignant at this
scurvy treatment and lias promptly
withdrawn the offer. This is not the
first time within recent years that works
of art have been lost to the public
through the pettifogging behavior of
public authorities.—London Figaro.
ENGLAND'S BEST SCOUT.
Be la a l ighter I'rom Toxan I'.ngugril In
tlie Mnlehi'li* V.'nr.
Wherever yon go you fad the Ameri
can, and he is never in Lie i.;.r ranks,
writes a London corn j pomient of tho
New York Press. Tlie I est scout in tho
Matnbelc war is an American, Burn
ham, a Texan, who wears a Texan som
brero and ri<}es on a Texas saddle. Ho
fights for the pleasure of fighting, and
will be sad when tho Mnfabelo war is
over. “His education and his natural
powers of inductive reasoning, ” says an
English new spa per eorresiiondrn^, “raise
him at once to a high rank among tho
scouts of this or any other country.”
Burnham's eyes are the wonder of all
beholders. They are small, roving blue
eyes. Women fall in love with them.
Coeil Rhodes says they can see right
through a mountain when aMatabelo is
on the other side of it. Another corre
spondent declares the sinewy little man
—he is only 5 feet 4 in height—to be a
veritable pocket edition of Hercules.
Then he adds most impiossivcly, “and
withal he is modest and truthful,”
which is something wonderful and un
accountable in South Africa.
Burnham’s greatest feat was the shoot
ing of M’linio under circumstances that
would have done credit to Davy Crock
ett. M’lixno was the great witch doctor
of the Matabclc. He started the rebel
lion, saying that lie could turn away
the bullets from Uncle Hiram Maxim’s
patent music box into the water if his
fellow countrymen would only bring
him presents in return for the favor.
His throne was in a cave which was the
center of pilgrimages for the natives far
and near. Burnham determined to kill
him. The British officers laughed at his
attempt as a “fool’s errand.” But he
enlisted the assistance of a sturdy young
Englishman named Armstrong, and thry
started for M’limo’s cave. The hills
were fairly swarming with natives, and
Burnham and Armstrong * raveled by
night and slept by day. They led their
horses so us to make ns little noise as
possible and also to keep them fresh, as
they knew that after M’linio had keen
killed it would depend upon their horses
whether they would be able to return to
the laager or not.
When they arrived in sight of the
cave, they found hundreds of natives
about, but were disgusted to find that
M’limo himself was not there, being
two or three miles away. They sent the
negro servant whom they had brought
with them to tell the witch doctor that
some natives were waiting for him with
great quantities of presents. Then, Hko
tho good scouts they were, tiny moved
on some distance from the place where
they told the servant they would wait
for him, so ns to be cu guard in ease he
played them false. But in doing so they
ran plump into a body of Kaffirs. Had
the Kaffirs been Mutabelo the two scouts
would have been killed then and there.
Burnham pretended they were in great
fear of M’limo and wanted to make
him presents. The Kaffirs persuaded
the Matabclc to leave the scouts alone
until M’limo came and decided what
should bo done with them. Fo they
started down tho road from the cave to
meet M’limo. When they met him,
Burnham saw that if be shot M’limo
the whole crowd of natives would bo
on them in a minute. After going
through a long orgy M’linio invited
them into u cave alone and told tho na
tives to clear out. No sooner were they
in the cave than Burnham sent a bullet
through M’limo’s skull.
“We didn’t wait to lay tho body
out,” says Burnham, “but wo ran for
our horses with all our might. Tlie nig
gers followed and shot at us repeatedly,
but their aim was bad. Wo put om
horses to it for all they writ) worth. It
soiincd to me that our horses jumped
over some rocks us high as their heads,
and it is a wonder to me that they did
not break their necks and ours into the
bargain. ” Though the killing cf M’limo
did not have the effect that was expect
ed, this detracts none from Burnham’s
daredevil cleverness.

It isn’t lovely to look at, tho somewhat
humorous way in which tlie perched up
cyclers work the screw being certain to
draw a smile, but it seems safe, and tho
labor is nothing compared to pulling at
an our.
The water cycle was at Put-in-Bay a
few days ago, and tho natives opened
their eyes at it. One old lady is said to
have rushed to her friends, crying:
“A miracle! A miracle! Two Peters
walking on tho water!”—Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Very L’p to Date.
“Many years ago,” said the jubilee
orator, "it was said of us that we were
the inhabitants of a one horse town.
Today we stand with the stigma remov
ed. As we look forth on our streets and
see tlie merry bicycle and the dignified
gasoline eurriago speeding to and fro,
we say with conscious pride that wo are
a one horse town no longer. The last
horse has been banished, und we are a
modern, up to date, no horse town of
the first class. —Cincinnati Enquirer.
