It is rumored that Mayor Calvert, of Spartanburg, has a congressional bee buz/ing in his bonnet, and that he will be a candidate for Stanyarn Wilson’s seat. When asked about the rumor by a Spartanburg Herald reporter Mr. Culvert neither con fessed nor denied it, merely replying that he had nothing to say at this time. When a politician has noth ing to say you had better let him alone. His silence is like that omni- ous stillness which sometimes pre- ceds a battle or a cyclont. The “beer privilege” is giving trouble in some quarters, and the State board of control at its last meeting decided to abolish it on the first of November, and handle beer thereafter in the dispensary proper. Now some of the members of the board are in favor of reconsidering the action of the lust meeting, and of letting the much appreciated privi lege remain a privilege. Whut we shall drink, how, where, and when we shall drink it, and who shall serve it. are all absorbing questions of ad vanced political and moral reform. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Dreyfus has not yet passed into oblivion. The world’s sense of jus tice will not down at the bidding of a packed military court, nor tamely submit to a flagrant wrong. Ameri ca and Germany are talking of boy cotting the great 1'aris exposition, and that is an argument which will probably do more towards clearing up French ideas of justice than all the moral homilies that could be written or preached. In the mean time it is asserted that Hit* health of of Dreyfus is rapidly failing, and his physician declares that he can live but u few weeks or months longer. ♦ ♦ 4- ♦ We dislike to see this silly prattle in some papers in which they say “this is the people’s paper,” and “this paper is published in the in the interest of the people alone.” It’s all bosli. There is not a word of truth in it. This paper belongs to its proprietors. It is run for the benefit of the lessee and manager, and if it did not pay him to run it he would quit. We endeavor to give the value of the money paid for it. It is purely a business venture and any one who is not satisfied with the investment is respectfully requested to discontinue its visits to their home. On the other hand those who have not tried it will do well to in vest a dollar in it and see how much they will get for the money. There is no other investment that will pay a bigger dividend. 4 4 The Charleston militia which was to go to New York to take part in the great demonstration in honor of Dewey’s return are about to decline on account of the expenses of the trip, railroad tickets being fixed at $10.1)2 for each man. It looks like the railroads might have made it even money and culled the cents DO instead of 1)2. If they are trying to drive a sharp bargain like a mer chant they are making u bungling job of it. A merchant would have put it at $10.00, and customers would have bitten much more readily than they would at $10.02. How ever, the roads are right in maintain ing pretty stilt rates, and the militia will act sensibly if it decline to pay. The truth is, bouth Carolina militia has no business there and will do a foolish thing if it go. ♦ 4 ♦ 4 Cornelius Vanderbilt, head of the Vanderbilt family, died suddenly at his residence in New York last Tues day morning. Death had no more regard for him Hum for any other mortal, and struck him down with hh little ceremony or delay as he would the humblest beggar on the streets. The untold millions in the Vanderbilt coffer could not bailie a common disease, nor purchase an hour nor a minute of respite. Wo do not mean to taunt the name of Van derbilt nor to show any disrespect to the memory of the dead. Wo know nothing of Mr. Vanderbilt's private character. He may have been a kind-hearted, sensible, noble man. If so ho was neither the worse nor the better for being wealthy. How ever it may have been, ho is now on a level with the rest of mankind. 4 4 4 4 Captain I*. D. Childs, the great prohibition leader of Kouth Carolina, is dead. He died suddenly at Salu da, N. C., last. Tuesday evening, where he had been spending the sum mer with his family. He was an up right, high toned, Christian man, a ! successful man of business, a strong I factor in politics, and an uncompro- j mising advocate of all measures that had for their object the promotion of the highest good of the state and the happiness of the people. It was, however, to the cause of prohibition that he gave the best thought and the best energies of his life. He was the father of all the prohibition bills that have been before the legislature in recent times, and lie worked for the cause with a zeal and devotion which knew no abatement. His death is a distinct loss to the whole state. His aims were pure and high, and he had the courage to pursue them regardless alike of popular ap plause or condemnation. An Edllor’s A|>|wal, lExc!ian>ri\l A Mississippi editor makes this ap peal to delinquent subscribers: “Kish down into your pocket and dig up the dust; the editor is hungry and the paper ‘bout to bust. We’ve trusted you for several months and did it with a smile, so just return the compliment and trust us for awhile. Our wife she needs some stockings and baby needs a dress; Jimmy needs some breeches, and so do Kate and Hess. Hud is on the pig train and Peggy sick with grief, and good gosh almighty, can’t you give a man re- lief? Shell out those nickels and turn loose the dimes; turn ’em loose and whistle, and we’ll have better times; there will be fewer patches on the bosom of our pants, and we’d make the paper better if we had half a chance. Don’t give us that old story, long since gone to seed, ’bout taking more family papers than the family want to read; but help to feed the printer, and he’ll help the town to grow, and thus escape the sulphur in the regions down below.” Tin- l(<-i|ii«'Nt Cannot In* AMHalletl. [Columlilu. lU-cord.l | The Gaffney Ledger notes the in- j tention of the Winthrop trustees to j ask an appropriation of $05,000 for ! an additional dormitory and says: j “Wo shall have something to say i ohcekly—request, at the proper time, I if we be alive and in normal health and spirits.” The Record fails to ! see anything "cheeky” about that re quest. It is a simple, practical, sen sible business proposition and can not be reasonably assailed, t’nless The Ledger favors abolishing Win throp College altogether, The Re cord fails to see on what ground it can base its opposition to the ap propriation. Hundreds of girls are I each year refused admission to Win throp because of insufficient uccorr.- I modations there. A new dormitory will enable Winthrop to educate twice as many girls at no additional expense to the Htate, and twice as many girls wish a Winthrop educa tion.” riant Whi'itt. | lvx« , liaiix't‘.] A farmer writing to tho Macon Telegraph tells how any farmer can make wheat enough for home con sumption, and why he should make it. He says: “An ordinary farmer can spare two acres of land; let him take tliis land, turn it well with a plough in September, and about three or four weeks later put ten bushels of cotton seed broadcast, also broadcast two hundred pounds of phosphate, sow his wheat crop on this land with a turning plough shal low, all ploughing to be well done, insuring the ground to be well broken. This wdll make about fif teen bushels of wheat per acre. Two acres tried in this way will furnish about six barrels of Hour at a cost of about five dollars. To buy this Hour in the market would cost about thirty dollars. Mr*. ItryHon Miillinux Drail. lA'Ievoluiiil Stiir.) Mrs. Sarah Mullihax, the aged widow of Hroson Mullinax, died at her home near Grover Sept. 7, 1800, after confinement to her bed for a number of years. She was only se riously ill for some ten or eleven hours. Her death resulted from old age and dropsy. She was u consist ent member of the M. E. church south, fom her youth, and was an af fectionate wife, mother and grand mother. She was born May HI, 181H. Her remains were interred at Antioch cemetery, Cherokee county, S. C., Sept. 8th.

In our last issue wo gave an ac count of the killing of a negro, Will Price, hy another negro, Walker Meeks, at Blacksburg, last Sunday. It now appears that there were some inaccuracies in that report. From a reliable source we learn that Meeks, immediately after the shooting, did not run ten miles in the direction of Yorkville, but went to a spring on John Whisonants place, about a mile and a half from town, where, after resting a short while, he concluded to return to Hlacksburg and surrender. Ho went straight to tiie city hall and as there was no one there to lock him up, ho sat on the steps and waited about three quar ters of an hour for the officers to come, during which time he ex plained to the crowd that had gath ered around him how the difficulty lend occurred. He [said that Price, himself and several other negroes were gambling on the railroad. That he won sev enty-five cents and Price took it. He asked Price to return it, but he would not. Words followed and Price made a pass at him with a razor, whereupon he (Meeks) drew ins pistol and fired. Among those that reached the body of Price immediately after the shooting, was a white man, who found a razor, which it now appears, was Price’s There was but one witness ex amined by the Coroner’s jury Sunday night—a negro by the same of Dave Alexander—who was in the crowd at the time of the shooting. Although an eye witness to the occurrance, and although he testified strongly for the state, his character, and the way he gave his testimony was such as not to satisfy the jury, and the hearing was continued until Monday. That morning there were three ne groes, all of whom, with the excep tion of one, were in tho crowd, and well known to the authorities, as bad characters, their names appear ing frequently in the court records for different offences. We make this statement in order to keep the records straight. TO CO TO CHINA. !{«• v ami Mrs. \V. E. v'rorki-r Will l»o .Mis- slnimry Work. All Cherokee Baptist, and es pecially members of the Broad River Association, will be interested in the | following correspondence which ap- ■ peared in the Baptist Courier of yes- j terday: j “Many who read The Courier will i bo glad to hear that South Carolina | is soon to have another representa tive on the foreign field. Only a few | weeks ago it was announced that ! Rev. W. F. Crocker had married one I of Carolina’s fair daughters. La?t Tuesday, September 5th, they were both appointed to the work in Chinkiang, China. Brother Crocker speaks Mandarin and can go to work immediately on his arrival. He worked for four years with our Gos pel Mission brethren. Mrs. Crocker was raised in South Carolina, and the sisters of the State ought to see to it that the funds ($500) needed for her outfit and passage be raised at once. There are men and women in the State who will gladly give five or ten dollars each for this purpose if the cause is presented to them. Let our sisters give and talk about this to others. We will need the funds in the next few weeks.” The South Carolina Baptist should raise at once the necessary funds to defray tho expenses of Mr. and Mrs. ' Crocker, and the Broad River Asso- ] ciation should take tho initiative and push the matter along. I'imvHI I'nlntx. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Powell, Aug. 11th—Rev. J. If. Bridges filled his appointment at Macedonia Saturday and Sunday. Fodder pulling is about finished for this season. Potatoes and turnips are doing well since the recent rains. J. L. Clary is making sorghum, and to see the grade he is turning out is positive proof that ho knows his business. Notwithstanding the cry of hard times It. A. Smith, Wellington Hum phries and Margaret Fowler are building good dwelling houses, and R. B. Powell is building a new store house. The public school at Macedonia closes to-day. J. L. Clary and J. Gardner went to Spartanburg Friday on business. T. G. McCraw, Gaffney, was here on business last week. R. B. Powell went to Cowpens Sat urday on business. J. L. Clary went to Gaffney yester day on business. Ananias Gardner, of Bessemer 1 City, N. C., visited relatives and friends here recently. W. L. Gardner, of Martinsville, visited relatives here Sunday. Cokncr.uk KK. Thu Knot of All Evil. Mk. Editor:—The almighty dollar is the upper tiling now with men, I fear, judging by their aotiona. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Tho love of money is the root of ail evil, so says the Scriptures. Is it 1 true with this generation? I fear it is. Oh, what a volume could bo written on this subject. My fellow- i countrymen why are you led away I so? i We are admonished to seek first I the kingdom of God and lift right- I eousness. Then what? Read your l biblc and see. It is pull Dick and pull Devil to 1 see who can get rich first. And when you get there what is it? Vex ation of spirit, so says Solomon. The Scripture says, “He that getteth riches not by right shall leave thorn in the midst of his days, and at his end he a fool.” It is a fearful thing to be rich, in my estimation. Where there is much given there is much required. Read James, 5th chapter, and Maluclii, 5d chapter. My motto is, “To live while you nro living.” Enjoy life. So says a man seventy years old. w. it. i.. The ('ot-kntoo’M .\'iternt-ker Hill, There is a wonderful cockatoo in one of tiie Islands of tho Indian ocean, near New (•uIiioh. It is as largo as a full grown phoasant, and it is of a Jot hlacU color. The bird Is remarkable for Its Imiuonsoly strong hill and the clever manner in which it is used. The hill Is as hard as stool, and the upper part has a deep notch. Now, tin* favorite food of this cocka too is the canary nut; hut there is won derful ingenuity required to get at it, for the nut Js something like a Brazil nut, but It Is ten times as hard. In fact, it requires the blow of a heavy hammer to crack it. It is quite smooth and somewhat triangular in shape. Natmc appears to have given tho possessor of tiie wonderful hill some intelligence to direct its powers, for the cockatoo takes one of tho nuts edgewise in its hill and by a carving motion of its sharp lower beak makes a small notch on it. This done, the third takes hold of the nut with its claws, and, biting off a piece of leaf, retains it in tiie deep notch of tiie up per part of the hill. Then the nut is seized between tiie upper and lower parts of tiie bill and is prevented slip ping by tiie peculiar texture of the loaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off a tiny piece of the shell of the nut. The bird then seizes the nut in its claws and pokes the long sharp point of its hill into tiie hole and picks out tiie kernel bit by bit.—Savannah News. Fearful Torture*. For many years 1 was a teacher in Afghanistan, and during my stay in that country I was often an unwilling witness of some horrible exhibitions of torture. Here is one they use in the ease of women to extract testimony. It consists in prying off tiie finger nails by means of a small chisel or bradawl, which is shoved In slowly but firmly from the finger tip down ward under the quick of the nail, which is then lifted up and out. This Is another that I once saw used In tiie case of a small child who would not own up to some petty theft: Sticks were thrust between its fingers and the fingers then squeezed together, so that the sticks crushed into the bones. So much for women and children. Here is a method of eliciting informa tion from an unwilling man: Tiie cul prit is stripped to the waist, and then boiling oil is flicked on to ids back. This seldom fails to find the man’s tongue. The above are tho chief forms of “faliana,” or torture, for tiie purpose of eliciting information, but it must he stated that such inflictions as nipping of noses, tearing out tongues or splitting eyeballs do not come under the heading of “faliana,” they being punishments rather than tortures.— Loudon Standard. Stnitgcrctl Them. There's no art to tell how many lan guages a tongue can speak by looking its owner in tiie face. An American woman was met recently in a narrow hallway of the American embassy by four young attaches of foreign lega tions. They stepped aside to let her pass and, thinking she did not under stand French, made a few audible ob servations. “Look at her yellow dress. It's very pretty,” said No. 1. “Yes, but she bas on white gloves,” answered No. 2. “She lias good teeth,” said No. .’I. “And an enormous mouth,” added No. 4. "And she understands French per fectly,” said the owner of tiie enor mous mouth, turning suddenly upon them, “and would like to say that her cars are even bigger than her mouth." This in French and with such an air of giving personal information to nobody in particular that It was quite as if she had been kindly helping strangers to information out of a guide book. I do not think I have ever seen four llmper looking young men. They had Just enough presence of mind to flee the premises.—St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. A Mce Little Elopement. "There’s a rather funny circum stance connected with tho elopement here last week," remarked the lo quacious landlord of the tavern in a remote Sussex village, says an English paper, addressing a cyclist who had stopped for refreshment. “A young man who hadn’t known her so very long ran away with the squire’s daughter, and a day or two later tiie old gentleman sent this mes sage by letter to his new son-in-law: “ ‘All Is forgiven. Come home.’ “To tliis the young fellow tele graphed tiie reply: “‘All won’t be forgiven until I have kicked you well for letting me elope witli your daughter. You’d better not be at home when 1 come, thnt’s all!’ ” Wifely Conaldcriitlon. “I’ve decided not to get that now dress we talked of,” announced the lit tle wife, whose husband lias a big bank account and makes large deposits every week. “But 1 want It, dearie, Just as much ns you do. Go ahead and order it.” “No. I appreciate your kindness, but I’m not tho one to be extravagant when economy Is demanded. 1 saw your bankbook tills morning, and we are drawing out money a dozen times where you deposit once. I’ll wait till next year.”—Detroit Free i'ress. Warned. “Did I understand you to say some thin about teachin tiie young idea how to shoot?” asked a Clay county (Ky.) citizen. “Yes,” answered the man who is In terested in tho work of education. “Well, so fur as tills part of the coun try Is concerned you’re workln on tho wrong Hue. Whut you want to do Is to watch the boys at recess and lam the fust rue that brings a gun to school with him.’’—Washington Btar.

Prosperity of (.afTney. Alderman \V. II. Smith returned 1 from a business trip to New York J City Hcvural days ago. Mr. Smith ; always becomes enthusiastic when j talking about tiie progress and pros pects of Gaffney. While in New 'fork City a New York Commercial reporter got hold of Mr. Smith and , secured tho interview which follows: I “Win. H. Smith, representing the Smith Hardware Co., of Gaffney, S. C., is in town buying for his firm. He is quite enthusiastic over tho pos sibilities of tho business development of liis section. He said : “ ‘Wo are the county seat of Cher okee county. Before the war we were the seat of a considerable iron industry. The old Cherokee Iron I Works at Gaffney had four stacks, and made a good grade of charcoal iron from the ores in the neighbor hood. “ ‘The ore is a good red hematite, fit for the Bessemer process. Lately a company bought tho deposits of slag and cinder, and is now ^hipping >t out in great quantities to Greens boro, N. C. These works at Gaffney I made munitions of war for the South- j ern army during the civil war. They j were finally abandoned in JStkS. ‘We have one of tiie largest cot ton mills in tho South at Gaffney, running, I think, 200,000 spindles. The Gaffney Carpet Mill, tiie only one in the Fnited States south of Baltimore, is a success, selling its goods all over the Fnited States. The ground for this was broken June 1, 1808, and in 00 days the plant was completed. “ ‘flm Facolet Mill, not far from us, is in great shape, its stock selling for 180. “‘Perhaps the most remarkable element of ultimate nduetrial great ness that we have is the great water power in tho Broad river. At the rapids, which we call the ‘Ninety- nine Islands,’ near Gaffney, there is a succession of rapids seven miles long, capable of developing, I think, about 10,000 horse power, or prob ably more. Ours is only a fair sample of many communities in the South, which only need money to develop great tilings out of them. Coal is near us in the Tennessee and West Virginia fields, us near, about, as the nearest coal tit for manufact uring is to Philadelphia.’ ” Tin 1 Nortii i'acolet s. s. Convention.
