March 0.?A great muted out here last night to mator.s-elect IVfferand Kyle and ntati ve-elect Jerry Simpson ad* he Citizens' Alliance in Grand Hall. l'eflfer and Kyle surprised ody hy displaying more than oratorical ability/ aud Mr. jj created great enthusiasm by orous eloquence, that was at e, although unconventional, l'effer was seen to be a man of r build, a little above medium slightly stooping In the shonld th long, sharp nose, and long n* a rich dark brown, falling fcbe lower buttons of his waist a pair of keen blue eyes, rath er olose together?a man of mild, min isterial bearing and placid, gentle countenance. Senator-elect Kyle is a six-foot blonde of athletic build. He Is a man of plain appearance; a man of the people, whose hands have been used to toil. Ho does not look to be more than 85 years old. His hair iand mustache are not quite red, but nearly so. His complexion is decidedly blonde and a set of very white teeth are frequently exposed by a faint smile. Ills large blue eyes are expressive of little earnestness or amiability, but the lines in his faco are I strong and his dress and whole bearing indicate a simplicity and freedom frofn affectation or vanity. Mr. Jerry Simpson is distinctly the i-.nf iuide of a dude, and Is far from the Boekltys citizen usually described for Simpson. He is a man of average size, with dark hair and stubby mustache, being otherwise smooth shaven. His face is bronzed, weather-beaten and strongly .marked with heavy lines. His eyes nave a peculiar brightness and ght up with an "intellectual Uro" when he talks. A twinkle that comes into them at times, and a smile that is ust visible at the corners of his mouth, ?lwxte a .Veen sense of humor and, at the same time, a degree of self-conB dence. His suit was a sort of grey Ls of t'band-me-down" cut. His i were heavy, with square toes, and with [leather strings. Ills neck was/ a plain standing collar, Id down at the corners and orna [ed with a black "shoestring" tie, ie might be regarded a decidedly ^hlonnble figure, but not by any i unflou,th.

C, Marc?1A ne gro named Wei bo ra was given severa scores of lashes with whips and hicko ries near Williamstou before daylight yesterday morning and was then taken to Anderson jail. It is said that it was with difficulty that a lynching was pre vented, and the negro was taken to jail before his crime became generally known. It is reported that he was given 500 lashes, but ft i3 put down as an ex nggeration. The story, as obtained by a News re porter last night from passengers on the delayed Columbia & Greenville train, was that a daughter of Jones Duckworth, a well known farmer living about a mile from Williamston, found Welborn under her bed when she went to her room to retire for the night. The young lady screamed loudly and alarm ed her father and his family. Mr.Tiuck worth ran up stairs to his daughter's room, thinking that the house was on fire. As he reached the second story he met Welborn coming down the steps. He supposed that the negro had also heard the young lady's screaming and had gone to see what was the matter, and did not learn the real trouble Until his daughter had told him of her discovery. Welborn was in the employ of Mr. Duckworth, and as the young lady and her father knew him it was little trouble to capture him. Ho made a confession that he had stolen into the house unob served and had intended to commit an outrage. He had even gone so far as to tear pieces of a blanket to gag the young lady if she made an outcry. His plan was to wait until everybody in the house had fallen asleep. Ilabit prompt ed Miss Duckworth to look under her bed and she was startled to aee a man lying there partially concealed by it blanket, Who whipped Welborn and what time of the night it was done are not known, but those who hear of the negroe's crime will only regret that the reported 500 lashes were not given him.?News.

A Storm Swept State. Mempuis, Tenn., March 10.?A spe^" clal to tho Appeal-Avalanche from Okalona, Miss., says: "Reports just re ceived show that great damage has been done throughout the country by the floods of Saturday and Sunday. Many turnpike bridges have been washed away and it is impossible to estimate the damage. Illinois Central Railroad is bending its fast trains over the Vicksburg and Meridian and Mo bile and Ohio roads via Jackson, Miss. At Lexington, Miss., the storm was the most destructive ever known there. The town is almost, entirely out off from nil communication with the out side world. The Illinois Central bridge, one mile east of that town, was entire ly destroyed-and great loss followed. Tho track was washed up in many places. On Saturday evening Minnie Bray, a young colored school teacher, living n?ar here, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. Bridges, both wooden and iron, have been washed away, and the roads are Impassible. Farming operations are entirely suspended and ploughed land is badly washed, delay ing planting two or three weeks. Fences along the creeks are completely gone. Farmers are greatly discouraged by the outlook. A terrific storm passed within three miles of Brandon, Miss., on Sunday night, carrying destruction with it. Every house on S. It. Donald's place was blown away, and he and his wife were seriously injured. The splendid residence of the late David L. Wilsonl near Brandon, together with every building on the place, were blown away, leaving only the floors and foun dations. Mrs. Wilson and an invalid son were carried with the bed upon which they were sleeping out into the front, yard and completely covered by timbers and debris. They were severe ly bruised and had to remain In the pourirjg rain all night. A Cowardly ltobber. Nyack, IVY., March 8.?At 1 o'clock this morning-- Joseph Storrs, a young unmarried man of tnis place, en tered tho residence of Mrs. Bridget Armstrong for the purpose of robbery. Ho was discovered by tho mistress of the house, who tried to seize him, at the same timo making an outcry, Storrs shot tho woman twico in tho neck, and as she lav on tho floor the cowardly rufllan brutally kicked her in the side. Mrs. Armstrong's daughter, Eliza, appeared on the scene, and Storrs fired at her tho bullet taking effect in the chin. He then fled from the house. Tho daughter, badly wounded as she was, ran a long distance In her night clothes for a physician and the police. Tho polico arrested Storrs about an hour and a half afterwards. His examination will occur to-morrow. Tho people are much exited over the affair, juul a bil'.ev feeling agalngstStorrs prevails. It is thought tho injuries of tho ladies will net prove fatal.

SECRETARY NOBLE'S ATTEMPT TO STIR up A SENSATION. Governor Tli!iit*n l'lnnt tho Secretary ot the Interior in an t icumioriaM? r<, .1 tlon-ff he f*er?lat* fdafltn will be the OoJjr Siinon-1 ?Columuia, March 7.?There Id u serious difference of opinion between Governor Tillman nod Sccrotary of the Interior Noble as to what would be a fair division of the Federal funds ap propriated by Congress for tho agricul tural and mechanical collegos ot the State. Tho Legislature ot South Caro lina has formally accepted the appro priation for this State, and passed an Act dividing the amount equally be tween the Clemson College and the Clailin College. Governor Tillraau early in January wrote Secretary Noble a letter, giving the Secretary all tho in formation desired. In reply to the Gov ernor the Secretary replied as follows on January 31st: "I have the honor to acknowledge tho receipt of your letter of tho 24thvinst, endorsing a certified copv of nu Act of your Legislature accepting the provision of tho Act approved August 30, 1800, making appropriation lor an agricultural college (colored) and tho Clemson Agri cultural College (white.) Tho school population, according Io tho latest count on Ole m this ofllce (that of 1880) Is 35.0 per cent white and 61.1 per cent, colored. I am of tho opinion that tho requirement for an equitable division of this fuud belweeu institutions lor the education of tho two races will bo met by dividing the samo in the said ratio of tho school in this case. Very respectfully, John W. Noble, Sccrotary." Answering the Secretary, Governor Tillman wroto on February 10 as fol lows: "A reply to your lotter of January 31 has bcou delayed by illness. Tho ques tion as to what would ho a *just and cquitablo' division as between our white an i colored agricultural and mechanical colleges of the fund appropriated by Congress last year is, so far as this State Is concerned, no longer an open one. Our Legislature has acted and adjourned, and will not moot again be fore Novombor, so I have no.powor in the promises. Please let me know whether you refuse to pay South Caro lina her quota upon tho basis proposed by tho Gonoral Assembly, and if so, whether you insist that tho school popu lation as shown by tho census of 1880 instead of 1800 shall govern. "I will call your atteution further to these facts; Over 80 per cent of tho school tax In South Carolina is paid by tho whites, whllo the negroes receive tho benefit of over half of it. Second, tho relative demand for collegiate education, for which Congress provided, bears no relation to the relative numbers of the two races. Third, your refusal to allow this monoy to bo divided as tho Legisla ture has ordered, will cripplo the colored collego ycry seriously, because, relying on this fund, it has already entered upon enlargements of its teaching force and facilities, which will have to bo stopped. While the Clemson College (white) is not yet in operation, and can easily await an appeal to Congress nest December. I ask you, then, to weigh your actions woll before doing anything to injure our colored collego. I am very respectfully, B. It. Tillman, Governor." &?$?ft*(y Noble has not yet replied to the nbovj. Governor Tillman said, that accq-diug t0 \x\s information, the apportionment of tho fuud m West Vir gjiik', is made on the basis of one-third hv the colored peoplo and two-thirds sfe>tno w'uto people, the exact ratio of tlmgchool population. The following leUKpf Governor Tillman to Governor Nor?p, of Georgia, shows him how tho uBg works: ''OPwencral Assembly divided the monoy a^pit?*pAijUul in 1890, by Con gress, for agricultural aud mechanical colleges equally bctwcVo tho white and negro schools, and wheK I so notified Secretary Noble, he replied';V;e require ment for an equltablo division of this fund will bo mot by dividing tho ^amo in tho ratio of tho school population, He further mentions tho census of 1880, with a relativo proportion of G) per cent colored and 30 per cent white, as a proper basis of division. As 1 ui.J/>in stand It, tho Georgia Legislature divided tho fund upon tho basis of school popu lation, aud Mr. Noblo demands that tho negroes shall receive hall, so wo find that he wishes to make South Carolina just what Georgia has done and yet ob ject to Georgia's actions, and further that ho wants to take tho school popu lation as tho basis of apportionment by tho census of 1880 instead of that of 1890 which shows the white populatiou of our Stato to have gained heavily, while tho negroes have gained very lit tle. He appears to ignore tho fact that nearly all of the school taxes in the South are paid by tho whites, while the relative demand for higher education as between the races bears no' relation to thoir numbers, and that by tho division proposed in South Carolina or In Geor gia tho negroes will receive more than an equitable' sharo of tho Corgressional giant. As our Legislature has adjourn ed there is nothing for mo to do oxcept to insist upon his accenting its action, and In tho ovent of Iiis rofusal, to appeal to Congress at its uext session." Consigned to the Ohio Ktver. Cincinnati, Ohio, March 7.? The Ohio Itiver to-day received the ashes of Professor Wilhelm Steifen, of Louisville, Kentucky, according to the provisions of his own will. Ho directed that nis executors should convey hia body to Cin cinnati, have it cremated, and then con sign the ashes into the waters ot the Ohio Itiver. In accordance with his will, Auton Kutzlen, representing the executors, had the body cremated, and tho ashes, in a porcelain urn, were de livered to him to day. Taking a cab he drovo to the wharf, where he chartered a skiff and was towed out to tho middle of the current. There he cast into the water the ashes of tho late professor. The ceremony was as simple as could be made and was carried out without at tracting publicity. The florae Baiked, Lima, O., March 0.?A torrlble acci dent occurred at Sharkey's Crossing near this city, at 5 o'clock this mornlug, by which Lyman Hyde, .mold farmer, aud his 28-year-old daughter Jndlth, lost their lives, and Emellne, a 10-year-old daughter, was fatally Injured. The trio were driving towards Lima, and at tho point named attempted to cross in front of a freight train. The horse backed, and the frightened occupants of tho buggy became too bowildored to even attempt to save thomselves. Lymau and ,1 ndlth wore killed instantly and Kmoliuo had her skull crushed. They Do It Out West Too. Wichita, Kan., March 0.?A tramp negro who assaulted tho wife of a cow boy named Harper, met wltfr ?wift pun ishment at tho hands of a small party of men at Woodward, I. T. As soon as thoy hoard of tho attempt, they mount ed thoir horses and wont in pursuit of tho flond. When overtaken, no-ques tions were asked of tho captlvo, but a noose was quickly slipped ovor his neck. Tho other c^atU. the rone was made fasf. Plant I.t?s "Cotto?. Col. Livingstion, President of the Slate Alliance of Georgia baa wrtUeii the fj?Awfng letter to Col Polk, Presi dent of the National Alliance; Dmau liKOTHint: I am satisfied that the Alliance organization ehould endea vor to so regulate tho products of the soil as to furuish a full supply of tho necessities ot life at least, and at the same time avoid au over-production in any given crop. To do Ihfs our farmers mmt heve some means by which ihey can uuderslaud what the markets ot the world demand,- and then some plan ot co-operation, so as to meet these demands without producing n glut in ai\y given product. A step Iu this direction by our Order would result, perhaps, iu an intel ligent and safe cropping on our part. As an illustration of what wo need to do, in my opinion, tho cotton-growers of the South should lesscu the cotton produc tion to n eafo limit, and enhance the price of the American staple at least 20 per cent. At the eamo time the acreage for other crops should be devoted to such crops as are uecded forborne supply to the utmost possible oxteut. Such a course would givo much bettor living at home nud more money for the cotton crop. To this eud I suggest for the cot ton belt, at least, a conference between Alliance officials iu conjunction with the' officials of other agricultural associations at some convenient point for the conside ration ot a wise and remunerative crop ping, and, if this meets your approba tion, 1 wish you to call a conforeuceaud request tho proper official of other State organizations to loin you In the call. Something must be done to direct and influence our people In adjustlug certain crops to tho demands ot tho world before we can calculate upon certain and fixed profits. This plau would, to some exleut, cover the difficulty. I am taking for granted tho assertion so universally made to-day that the present low prlco of cottou is on account of OYer-produc tion. If this be not true, a move in the direction suggested would readily de velop tho fact and enhance the price of tho present crop. Yours fraternally, L. If. Livingston. lltippy Winnen. What is it that makes women more smiling and happy looking than men? We meet them on the cars, on the streets, in the country, by the seashore, always smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes a dancing. Ahl the secret is they aim to please. It is an effort in many in stances for them to smile, and, were it not for a desire to look pleasing and pretty many would "never smile again." VVhyV Because in a large majority of instances they don't feel like smiling. They feel more like cry ing. With their nervous aches, weak ness and bearing down pains, lifo to them is a burden.

The annual statement of The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York shows the remarkable progress made by this institution during twelve months.

On hundreds of the articles sold by these dealers the profits are hardly worth speaking about. The competition is immense, and, the struggle for liveli hood continual, as any one can see by looking over the advertisements of prices in tho newspapers, and then notice the long list of bankrupts, and the sac rifices of goods at auction. No, friend farmer, these city merchants are not making fortunes as fast as you might imagine from appearances. Taxes in variety, andoxpenses almost innumer able, incident to city life, not known to tho country, confront and harass them. And now to the tiller of tho soil, who is inclined to be discontented with his lot becauso of small gains, we would say fraternally and encouragingly: Look around you and seo if there may not be many ways within your reach by which you can make them larger. Here and there about your business there are leaks and wastes, it may be, which might be stopped. And it may bo also, different modes of culturo might be adopted, and a greater variety or products grown: but cheer up, friend, and keep firm hold of the plow handles. Sbo Saved Her HuHbiiml's Life.
