These promis es of money came principally from fertilizer and cotton seed oil com panies. The Columbia Chamber of Commerece promised to try to raise at least $1,000. Treasurer Hyatt says he wants not less than $5,000 imme diately. The funeral of Col. James L. Orr was held at Christ Episcopal church In Greenville Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, and a large concourse of rel atives and friends were present to pay the last tribute of respect to one universally known and admired. It Is said to have been one of the most largely attended funerals ever held in that city. Many people were in at tendance from every part <rf the State. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. William Prophet, colored, was ar rested at Yemassee by Constable Pinckney after a short chase and turned over to Sheriff McTeer, of Beaufort, for safe keeping until he is given a preliminary on three charges of burglary, his crimes having been •committed in Yemassee several months ago in stores at that place. He was recognized by the constable as he stepped to the ground from a ' train, and made a desperate attempt to escape by jumping on an engine. hi the court of common pleas in Spartanburg Tuesday, the case of R. D. Blowers vs. the Southern Railway, an action which was begun Monday afternoon to recover $1,750 for trans ferring mail from one train to another at the Southern depot, was concluded, the jury returning a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. The case consumed all of Monday afternoon and the en tire morning Tuesday. When the case was given to the jury very little time was taken in arriving at a ver dict, which was for the full amount sued for by the plaintiff. t ^.difficulty occurred Tuesday morn ✓Mng.at Spartanburg Junction about 11 o’clock between Charles Anderson, his brother, Ernest Anderson, both color ed and Wallace Whitlock and Robert Whitlock, white, which resulted in several shots being exchanged be tween Charles Anderson and Robert Whitlock. Fortunately no lives were lost, but Mrs Wallace Whitlock and her young child were -truck by the shot from Anderson’s gun, as also was Robert Whitlock. The negroe-. were arrested shortly after the dif Acuity and lodged in Jail, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. Jeff Prince, colored, was found dead in a gully, near Evans street in Spar tanburg Monday afternoon. Upon ex amination of the body it was found that his neck had been broken, caused no doubt by falling into the gully while in a half intoxicated condition, pro ducing instant death. The body of the dead man was discovered by H. B. Reagan, while walking from Beaumont to Dewey avenue. The case was re ported to the police and Deputy Coro ner Holt was notified. At the time the body was first discovered its identify was unknown, for there were no letters in the pockets of the dead man’s clothes to mark his identify.. All that was found in his pockets was a bottle half filled with whiskey and $10.05. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict that the deceased, unknown to the jury, came to his death from his neck being dislocated from causes unknown to the jury. Poisons in Food.

Wednesday morning about 2 o’clock as the first section of freight train No 74, northlxnind, was coming into the city, several box cars jumped the track at a switch near the powerhouse, in this city, and were cousiderablyjsmashed up. The cause of the accident, it is said, was something similar to that which caused the wreck of the southbound vestibule near Fair Forest about two weeks ago— a chain dangling from a car, which caught in the frog of the switch as it passed and pulled the rails apart, thus derailing several of the boxes before the train could l>e stopped. No 74, with Conductor W. A. Martin in char.e, and Engineer J. A. Lucas at the throttle, and No. 487, an extra going south, with H. A. Witherspoon, con ductor, and D. M. Fellows, engineer, had orders to meet at this point. When the wreck occurred the southbound freight was nearing the point, and came danger ously near to running into the other train before it could be brought to a standstill, the fireman of No. 487 jump ing from his engine to avoid the threat ened collision. One car loaded with export cotton was badly torn up, others were overturned and more or less damaged, and the track was torn up for a short distance. A wrecking crew was soon on the spot, and the track was cleared and ready for traffic by 9 o’clock. The passenger trains were not delayed by the accident, as No. 36. the northbound train, was late as usual, and did not reach the scene un til the track had l>een placed in proper order. D. A. Ballenger, supervisor of this di vision, personally sujjerintended the re moval of the wreckage, and it was an inspiring sight to those gathered at the scene to watch him handle his men. No one was injured and the loss is comparatively small. OPERA GLASSES. m Host Poor Onen * re the Canne of oi‘ Ocui.'ir <i>!ir:u; tea.

Upon the quietude of Wednesday morning the town fire bell broke forth and amidst the hurrying crowd follow ing tbe wake of the fire apparatus going to the scene there appeared a tall striking figure, gracefully mount ed upon a charging steed of no less grace and prepossessing appearance. An observer, who was a stranger, asked a citizen, “Who is that distin guished looking man in the fireman’s bat, carrying his own iiat in bis hand, tiding the prancing charger?” The visitor was informed that that indi- vidual was no other person than the “Duke of Carlsbad,” in other words, W. L. Bobo. CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS One Week's Use of Hyomei Did More Than Six Months Treatment by Specialists. In the treatment of deafness which is often a result of catarrh Hyomei acts almost immediately upon the in flamed membrane and the hearing begins to return at once. A few days treatment will bring relief, and in three or four weeks, according to the severity of the case, a cure will be accomplished. Mbs Meeks, of Mattewan, N. Y., says: “Hyomei is truly wonderful. I have used it but a short time and see a great change in my condition. My hearing is improving rapidly, and I had no idea I would improve so rapidly in so short a time. My breath which was so offensive to myself and others, has lost its bad odor entirely I have spent a great deal of money with catarrh specialists and can truly say that six months of their treat ment Is not equal to one month of Hyomei.” The Gaffney Drug Co. are selling Hyomei upon the unsua! plan of agreeing to return the money if the medicine does not cure. A complete outfit costs only $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler will last a lifetime and there is enough Hyomei for several week’s treatment. Additional bottles of Hy- nipei can be procured for 50 cents. Compare this small expense with the fees charged by specialists and then- remember if Hyomei does not cure The Gaffney Drug Co. will return your money.

It marks the qualifying spirit, which hesi tates at extremes and likes to adjust the balance of truth. If. for instance, somebody speaks extravagantly of Em erson's genius the critical spirit replies. “Yes. he was a genius, but” be bad such aud such limitations. If, on the other hand, tbe limitations are men tioned first at another time, the same spirit observes. "Yes, he has those faults, but be is a genius with it all.” “But” expresses tbe desire to have both sides presented. Carried to ex cess, tbe habit leads to argumentative ness and carping. The person who gets only argument out of conversation is usually a barren companion. Some times also It shows an unkind nature, when the word is used regularly after hearing others praised. It becomes tbe index of envy or of tbe absence of en thusiasm. Qualifying too coustantiy In appreciation is like damning with faint praise, or. rather, praising with an ac companiment of faint damns. Tbe ar dent, imaginative temperament maker less use of qualification. Carried along with a rush, whether of praise or re proach. ii seldom stops to split the hair of eva/'t truth. “But me no huts.” It says. The little word is more leniently treated by Judicial and scien tific minds. If its constant uv.e is tvp* Ically American.-as the English not in frequently allege, it tits in with the proverbial idea of Unde Sum—* sort of cautious and skeptical New England farmer, with his "Waal.

Associated With Man-kind From the 1 Earliest Known Days. Of all domesticated animals the sheep has from time immemorial been most closely associated with mankind, writes R. Henry Rew in Outing. An erudite author sixty years ago, having laboriously collated an assortment of allusions to sheep made by sacred and profane writers, concluded that “the history of these animals is so inter woven with the history of man that they never existed in a wild state at all. Biblical history from tbe time of Abel is full of allusions to the flocks which formed the chief possessions of the Jewish people and their neighbors. The spoils of war and tbe tribute of vassal kings largely consisted of sheep. Thus we read that Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep master and render ed unto the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thou sand rams with the wool. Moses after his victory over the Midlanites obtain ed as loot no less than 675,000 sheep, and long before the Christian era sheep were cultivated in western Europe. Spain and Italy possessed them from an unknown period, although long after Rome was founded the inhabitants had not learned to sheer tbe fleece, and un til the time of Pliny the practice of plucking it from the skin was not whol ly abandoned, so long that the bumble shepherds of Syria preceded in their knowledge of necessary arts the future conquerors of their country.

Alremly Wall street has begun to discuss with a great deal of interest the manner in which the “Panama payment” will lie made and how it will affect the money market This is quite natural, as Wall street is regarded as the money center of the country. As the canal situation uow stands the United States government Is bound to pay upon the ratification of the treaty $40,0<J0.000 to the French share holders in ibe Panama enterprise and $10,000,000 more to the isthmian state selling the canal. On the face of things this would appear to mean the “laying down” on a given date of $50,000,000 at Paris and Colon. If shipment of such a sum were to be made in actual cash the question would arise whether it would «be obtained from the treasury vaults or from the money market. It might be drawn from either, for, in ad dition to the $144,000,600 actual cash in the treasurer's own hands, the govern ment has $159,000,000 on deposit In banks and subject to demand.
